Civilization Guardian Front

Your ancestors are the greatest knights in British history: William Marshall, [-]st Earl of Pembroke, commonly known as Marshal William, Commander of England, advisor and regent to four generations of monarchs.

He has never been defeated in the martial arts tournament. He once captured 103 knights in ten months, and captured at least 71 knights in his life.In a one-on-one duel with Richard the Lionheart, he stabbed his opponent's steed with a single shot, forcing the greatest commander of the Crusades to beg for mercy.By marrying a noble lady, he inherited territories ranging in size from Wales, Ireland, Normandy, and England. At the age of [-], he still led the army to defeat the French army that invaded England.

Stephen Langton, the contemporary Archbishop of Canterbury, said with emotion after recalling his life's exploits: William Marshall is the best knight the world can find.

So far, the Earl of Pembroke still owns more than half of the real estate in Pembrokeshire, and he is also a large landowner in the village of Camembert in Orne, Normandy, France. The Camembert cheese produced every year brings huge income to the family.

For nearly a thousand years, the successive Earls of Pembroke and the British royal family have maintained a deep family relationship. MI[-] can entrust the current Earl of Pembroke to handle difficult tasks twice a year through the royal family.

As a descendant of William Marshall, you have perfectly inherited the fighting talent of your ancestors and possessed the ability to control thunder. You have been hailed as the best heir of the Marshall family in recent years.

In the past three days, the blind date between you and the descendant of the Italian fencing master...Tifa Lockhart de Libery in Pembroke Castle shocked Europe.

---------------

Different from the miserable and useless viscount identity in the world of "Nobuna", the identity written this time is no longer a background that can only be used to tell the story, but has actual wealth and influence.

Change your background identity information to a shared mode so that your companions can see it too.Then, Chios pulled down the light curtain, looked at the girl beside him and asked:

"What do you think of our blind date?"

He responded with a fist that hit the young man's chest...

bump!

Mingming Tifa didn't use much force, but Chios took advantage of the situation and fell down on the sofa. At the same time, he quickly grabbed the girl's wrist that was too late to retract, and pulled him towards him with strength beyond the opponent.

"Ugh!?"

The girl fell into the arms of the young man, and her large breasts collided with the young man.

Even in the course of training together, the two have never had such close contact.

The girl who propped up her upper body from the young man's chest couldn't hide her panic:

"Chios, you..."

"I wasn't the one who struck first." Chios said, letting go of his hands, indicating that he had no intention other than revenge for the previous punch.

After confirming that Chios was just playing a prank, Tifa immediately relaxed a lot.

"You just like watching other people's panicked reactions, I should have known..."

During this period of getting along, she has gradually become accustomed to the occasional bad taste of the man in front of her, she only sighed softly, and then got up and sat beside Chios.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. de Libery." The young man lying on the sofa quickly restrained his frivolous smile, straightened up, tapped the coat of arms on the back of his left hand with his right index finger, and returned to the topic:

"Can I take a look at the identity information?"

"Hmm..." The black-haired girl smiled and nodded.

Soon, Tifa's background identity appeared in front of Chios...

---------------

【Tifa Lockhart De Libery】

17 years old, a descendant of the famous Italian fencing master Fiore de Liberi.

His legendary career is extremely dangerous, five times in a foreign country alone, he was besieged by other sect masters and demanded a life-and-death duel...

He was unarmored, except for the sharp sword in his hand, only an old robe and his beloved sheepskin gloves.With these limited equipment, he created infinite possibilities and completed the highest achievement as a swordsman: unscathed and undefeated in his life.

Although it has a very high prestige, the Libery family, which has never had a prominent noble title, has been passed down to the 21st century and has declined significantly.

You, who are proficient in Pancrasin fighting skills and are also a superpower who can control air currents, are considered the hope of resurgence for the Libery family.

In order to make up for the family's lack of financial strength, the family tried their best to arrange a marriage for you with the British nobleman: the Earl of Pembroke. This blind date attracted great attention from the European high society.

---------------

After seeing the identity background of the black-haired girl, Chios couldn't help rolling his eyes quietly.

"This arrangement is really..."

Obviously, he is a genuine Italian, and he is also very familiar with swords.On the other hand, Tifa, even though he is good at fighting, has nothing to do with using a sword at all, but he has become a descendant of a master of Italian swordsmanship.

Putting useless thoughts out of his mind, the young man got up from the sofa, went to the window in the side hall, and opened the curtains.

Some glaring sunlight came head-on, he narrowed his eyes, and only looked outside after his eyeballs adjusted to the brightness outside.

Neatly manicured green lawns, surrounded by towering stone walls, built an arrow tower every dozens of steps.Looking to the left, you can see the second section of the city wall and the city gate, leading to the highest and core circular main castle in the city.

It is not a noble mansion for pleasure, but a knight fortress with a military atmosphere. Only the building that Chios is in at the moment feels like a medium-sized palace villa that the family built in the city to adapt to modern life.

Pembroke Castle, the current residence of Chios.

"Let us make good use of this prominent status."

Chapter 170: Beginning of Layout

In the side hall, which previously needed the light of the chandelier as the light source, as the floor-to-ceiling curtains were lifted by the young man, natural light from the outside flooded in, illuminating the space extremely brightly.

The wall panels are painted pure white, and the dark blue wallpaper adds a layer of elegance and depth to the holy white, and finally embellished with gold embossing to create just the right luxury.

The layout was painstakingly arranged by the master architects. The utensils used by the ancestors of the family in the past are carefully divided according to their achievements and ages, and carefully placed in the most appropriate positions without any mistakes.

However, if a person's background, appearance, and upbringing are slightly insufficient, it is very easy to show a sense of disobedience in this environment, and reveal all his flaws.

However, Chios, who was only wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, and a light beige windbreaker over his body, with a smile on his handsome face, seemed to be at home at this moment, completely blending into the current atmosphere.

Sitting on the sofa, Tifa stared blankly at the young man by the window, feeling a little confused...

Knowing that the other party is the same executor as herself, and having spent more than 20 days together in the Eternal City, she is theoretically the person who knows the true identity of Chios the best.

But the moment the curtains were opened and the sunlight slanted into the hall, the girl had an absurd thought...

The man in front of him was the real Earl of Pembroke, a descendant of nobles with hundreds of thousands of years of family history, not just a pretender with a background.

"Heh..." Noticing his partner's slightly hazy vision, Chios smiled lightly.

He turned to face Tifa, leaned against the wall behind him, and teased in a relaxed manner:

"My fiancée, did you suddenly find that you like me a little bit?"

These words finally brought the girl back to her senses.

"I haven't agreed to be your fiancée yet..." It's a pity that Tifa, who is getting more and more used to the youth's words, didn't show any panic, but naturally returned a gentle smile.

"But I'm more curious, Chios, how do you plan to use the Earl of Pembroke's identity layout, and when are you going to use the "Calendar Mirror" authority? "

"The first is to collect information. In addition to what the background identity tells us, there are many details that we need to actively discover..."

When talking about business, Chios looked serious, and quickly scanned his surroundings to confirm that there were no hidden eavesdropping or video recording devices, and then continued:

"Since the Marshall family has some contacts with MI[-], we can start from this aspect. However, it is not suitable to have in-depth contact with this powerful intelligence agency at present, so as not to get involved in unnecessary troubles..."

Having said that, he crossed his hands before his chest and pondered for a while before continuing to answer:

"It's the main task 3 and 4. I think the sooner the better, the better it is to use it within a few days."

Hearing this, Tifa opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Why do you say that?" The girl with a puzzled expression leaned forward slightly while sitting upright.

"Before the plot officially unfolds, the forces of all parties are secretly manipulated by the will of the world, and most of them will be lurking under the table. We have eight months, take this opportunity to join one of them, and change our destiny step by step while accumulating our influence ..."

"Wait until the critical moment, then use the calendar to go back to the past, and increase the deflection of fate to the point where the will of the world can't interfere... Isn't this the most appropriate way we have discussed before?"

Quietly listening to Tifa finish their original goal, Chios first nodded slightly, then shook his head.

"Our plan is actually based on the fact that the background identity is really just a "background" and has no real influence at all. The most effective way..."

Reaching out from the void, he took out the cigarette case containing the little cigars. He was not in a hurry to explain, but slowly opened the silver case, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Because we have no power, if we want to integrate into any powerful organization, we must get in touch with important plot characters. Only by participating in events or forcibly changing our fate can we truly gain the other party's trust."

"Using the authority of the calendar at the critical moment is to completely paralyze the interference of the will of the world after changing the past, but it will also make us face greater danger and uncertainty when we go back to the past..."

"Hmm..." After understanding part of what the other party meant, the girl put her hand on her chin and thought for a moment before replying:

"You mean, because our previous move to reverse the direction of the plot has aroused strong vigilance in the world, and the use of the calendar will force the world to fight back?"

crack...

Sparks flashed from the flint wheel of the fuel lighter, and a cluster of blushing flames rose in front of the cigar.

"After all, the plot characters in the past time have not been in contact with us, and their fate has not been affected. They can easily become our enemies under the instigation of the will of the world."

Open the window behind you, and a refreshing breeze blows in.

"If we are powerless people, there is no way to go according to the original plan." The young man slowly exhaled a gray-brown smoke, and then added:

However, the situation is different now, my background as the Earl of Pembroke has allowed us to gain the trust of a not weak force in advance..."

"The British government, and the connections among many European nobles..." Tifa murmured softly, her eyes became clearer.

"Instead of arousing hostility in the world, when we go back to the past, we have to face the hostility of powerful plot characters, and then we have to deal with the future after historical changes. Why don't we change the history first, and then go back to the current time, and use the background identity to develop forces and influence Where the plot goes."

Leaving the comfortable dark blue velvet sofa, the girl walked to the window, closed her eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing from outside.

In the past, when she entered the world of missions alone, she always carried the belief that "the fate of this place must be changed", and spent all her time thinking about every decision.

The pressure and shadow of not being able to complete all the main tasks perfectly, the deflection of fate that is not enough to help the characters in the plot break free from the shackles of fate...all of them are like the accumulation of curses, weighing heavily on the shoulders.

Girls have never been so relaxed and feel the beauty of the mission world...

The faint smell of tobacco came together with the smell of green grass in the city walls. The simple fragrance that had never attracted my attention in the past made me feel refreshed.

Is the gap so obvious just because...you have a reliable companion by your side?

Not knowing the answer to the question did not prevent Tifa from expressing her feelings at the moment.

"Thank you, Chios."

She turned her face slightly, her smooth black long straight hair swaying gently in the wind, and the pair of almond eyes looking directly at the person beside her contained warmth, and matched with the gentle smile on the girl's mouth, she seemed like someone in a dream.

Chapter 170: Ready to Go

Even if you decide to use the calendar to return to the past as soon as possible, before that, you still need to make sufficient preparations...

Firearms, ammunition, bulletproof clothing...

In the world of "Scarlet Bullet", it is normal for Butei to use guns like eating and drinking. Even powerful plot characters with the blood of great men rarely don't wear guns.In the fierce battle of bullets and bullets, bulletproof clothing is very important. Even if it cannot withstand the impact of bullets, at least it can greatly reduce the damage.

After the background identity was written, Chios's coat of arms information contained a lot of information about his family, including profiles of family relatives, stewards, managers of subordinate industries, and even other European nobles... etc., which helped him integrate into the own new identity.

Relying on the specially trained memory ability, after reading it quickly, the young man picked up the mobile phone belonging to the Earl of Pembroke on the coffee table, and found his butler from the contacts.

The ringtone of the two dials rang, and it was convenient for the phone to be connected.

"Master Chios, what are your orders?"

There was an unfamiliar voice of a middle-aged and elderly man, but the familiar name made Chios think of the old housekeeper Karl in Florence Manor who took care of his growth.

Chios is not called Earl, Your Excellency or other titles. It is precisely because the other party has served the Marshall family for generations. Since the previous Earl of Pembroke was alive, he has served as the castle steward for more than 40 years. It can be said that he has dedicated his life to this family.

(Really like...)

With a secret sigh, Chios quickly adjusted his mood and continued with the prepared speech:

"Arthur, Miss de Libery and I need to go out for some business, we need some weapons, can you contact the tailor shop for me?"

"No problem, I'll ask a tailor to order it for you."

The butler understood, and didn't ask what dangerous thing Chios was planning to do.

For the Marshall family, it is not uncommon to hunt down the most vicious criminals, participate in secret missions, and protect the head of state...

The Marshall family, which has a close cooperative relationship with MI[-], can not only legally own arms, but even have craftsmen who specialize in custom-made and modified equipment, but usually in the street in front of the castle, they pretend to be private tailors in a low-key way. .

After waiting for about 10 minutes, there was the slight sound of several people walking outside the door of the side hall.

knock knock...

After knocking on the hall door three times in rhythm, the butler's voice came in:

"Master Chios, the tailor has arrived."

"Please come in." Chios, who was sitting on the sofa with Tifa, responded in a restrained tone.

The wooden door opened to both sides. A gray-haired man in a black tuxedo, a snow-white shirt with a black tie on the collar kept a bowed posture, with one hand on his belt and the other lightly pressing on the door.

This means that guests can enter the hall where the host is.
