Heart of the Castle

Chapter 310 Earl Enix's Wisdom Vision

At the end of the sumptuous dinner, the sky was covered with stars, and Earl Enix, who was half drunk, was walking slightly swaying in the stone corridor of the castle with the support of two court servants. In front of them were two Castle guards with torches lead them to the prepared residence.

Li Wei has ordered the most luxurious and comfortable room in the castle to be cleaned up. It was originally the bedroom of Viscount Lane, but since the unfortunate man fell to his death from the tower, it was sealed up, and it was not reopened until the arrival of the Kingdom Mission. .

After several days of running around, and consuming a lot of energy while reading the king's decree, Count Enix felt very tired now, eager to lie down on a soft bed and have a good rest as soon as possible.Fortunately, the distance between the residence and the banquet hall is not very far. After passing through two corridors, a luxurious wooden door painted with gold lines has come into view.

However, Earl Enix did not have any joyful expression on his face, because standing beside the wooden door was a tall and delicate man, looking at him with sharp eyes like ice knives and frost swords, the expression on his face was very different from that of friendliness Far.

It was Baron Reinhard Hughes who left angrily when the king's decree was read out.

Although it was only a few hours away from that time, the baron's appearance has changed a lot. The blond hair that was well-groomed now looks a little messy, and his face is haggard. There was even a small wet mark on the sky blue tight uniform, and the whole person looked much more decadent.

Earl Enix sniffled. He drank a lot of mellow wine during the banquet, but under the cold wind in the corridor, he had already recovered two or three points from his drunkenness, so he clearly smelled a bad smell from Baron Hughes. The stench of ale made him frown.

"Sir Hughes, have you been drinking?" Earl Enix asked in a questioning tone.

"Oh, I drank a little... so what?" Baron Hughes' voice seemed a bit vague, as if his tongue was entangled in something, he had to chew hard to speak out. "Enix...Your Excellency, when you were in the capital, how did you..."

"Shut up!" Earl Enix roared angrily, the light in his eyes was like frozen glaciers, when Baron Hughes' sharp eyes touched him, he was immediately defeated, he trembled involuntarily, and his voice was interrupted .

"Both of you step back, as long as there are court servants here to serve you." Earl Enix ordered to the two castle guards.He originally thought that this would be a troublesome matter, but the two guards did not have any objections, and after bowing to him, they left without hesitation.

"Baron Hughes, come in and talk." Earl Enix said in a bad tone, then pushed open the gold-painted wooden door and stepped into the luxurious room prepared for him.

The area of ​​this room is larger than the ordinary living room, and it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside room can be used to meet some low-status or close guests, while the inner room is used as a bedroom.Even from the perspective of Earl Enix, who came from a wealthy royal family, this can be called a luxurious arrangement, which fully reflects the respect the castle owner has for the head of the kingdom's mission.

On the table in the outer room was a beautifully carved silver candlestick, and several thick candles held on it illuminated the room brightly, and the flame in the fireplace was also burning, making the whole room warm.On the walls of the house, like the banquet hall, are hung exquisite Val wool tapestry, which depicts various scenes of noble life with colorful silk threads. One of the hunting tapestry attracted the attention of Earl Enix, which made him particularly happy. Pay more attention for a while.

Being able to make a suave reputation in Firmeyer, Baron Hughes's appreciation of art is of course quite good, but now he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to those exquisite tapestries, but sits on the chair beside the table , with a stiff and ferocious expression, like a stone carving named Wrath.

There was silence in the room for a while, and then Baron Hughes finally couldn't bear the silence and opened his mouth first, "Lord Enix," his voice was as cold as gravel in the frozen ground, "Now you can say Why? Why is your approach completely different from what you discussed before you came out of the king's capital? Have you forgotten that the division of the Viscounty is not my personal request, but a decision made by all the important ministers of the kingdom?"

"Next, do you want to question me, how will I explain to those people when I go back?" Count Enix asked back without turning his head while still admiring the tapestry.

Baron Hughes took a deep breath, there is nothing worse than now, he told himself, and then tried to make his voice calm and powerful. "Yes, Your Excellency Count Enix, that's what I want to know."

"It seems that the mellow beauty of Firmeyer has indeed rusted your mind, Sir Reinhard Hughes." Earl Enix turned around, gave Baron Hughes a sharp look, and then pointed Looking at the tapestry on the wall, he said, "Come here, and take a good look with your eyes!"

Baron Hughes looked at Earl Enix strangely, trying to find signs of a joke or a sudden stroke on his face, but he saw nothing, so he stood up and walked to the front of the tapestry from top to bottom Observe carefully.

The tapestry is carefully woven from Val wool, which is more expensive than silver. The characters are vivid and lifelike, and the techniques are complicated and exquisite, and the handwork is no less than that of the master craftsmen of the court.However, although the characters above were dressed luxuriously, they looked a little strange. Baron Hughes took a closer look, and then his brows suddenly twitched violently.

"These costumes...are actually the style of the Arthur Dynasty before the founding of the country?"

"It seems that your eyes are not blind yet. Do you understand now that what you are facing is not a small person who got lucky with shit, but an ancient family whose family history can even be traced back to the history of Arthur's Kingdom!" Earl Enix snorted, walked over and pointed to a figure in the tapestry, "Did you see this man in the golden robe?"

"Who is he?" Baron Hughes swallowed with difficulty, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The high priest of the Sun Temple, or explain it with an easy-to-understand identity..." Earl Enix's voice sank, like sharp needles piercing Baron Hughes' heart.

"The Privy Bishop of the Glorious Cathedral."

Baron Hughes opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but his words were frozen in his throat by a sense of tremor.Earl Enix sneered and walked to the inner room, and the moment before he closed the door, his last words for tonight came.

"Sir Hughes, go back to your room and think carefully about how to get along with such a neighbor. As for the explanation from the capital, I'm afraid you won't need to worry about it!"
