Chapter 610 King Kenreddin
The palace guards in silver armor and holding swords stood on both sides of the stairs.
"Ka! Hua! Cha!"
When the three entered the palace, they uniformly held the ceremonial swords upright in front of their chests and saluted.
Pete looked normal, striding forward with his head held high and his chest puffed out, not looking sideways.
In fact, he was staring at the illusionary divine light screen that only he could see, and madly complained to Miranda and Lancelot.
"The people in the capital really treat each other differently!"
"Just now everyone cheered for Miranda, and the two living people following behind us were directly ignored, right!"
"I laughed to death. If someone who didn't know saw this, they would probably think that Smith and I were Miranda's followers!"
Miranda almost couldn't control her expression when she received the news.
They had guessed that this would happen before they came, and now that the guess was confirmed, they no longer felt dissatisfied or angry.
On the contrary, they just felt like laughing.
These citizens of the capital city actually cheered and applauded not for Miranda, but for the "hero from the capital city".
This has nothing to do with people, only with their origins.
This is what makes Miranda angry and funny.
In the Ceylon region on the eastern border of the kingdom, the idea of determining nobility based on origin is almost completely regarded as a garbage dump.
Is there a difference between the descendants of nobles and the descendants of ordinary people?
There is almost no difference in front of the god of knowledge, Nowen, at least there is no gap that cannot be made up.
At most, the descendants of nobles learn faster and start higher.
But ordinary people can also catch up or narrow this gap with their own efforts.
This change is the general trend and the will of the people.
It will not be changed by personal will.
As strong as the Countess of Ceylon, a 5th-level magician, can eliminate hundreds of ordinary people if she uses all her strength;
But how many people are there in Ceylon?
More than 100,000 people!
Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people in Ceylon Territory, the capital is more prosperous because of its profound heritage, but in terms of backwardness and stubbornness of thought, Miranda feels that they are even comparable to the dwarves.
No, that's not accurate.
The dwarves in the stone fortress broke and then rebuilt. In the social order rebuilt after the disaster, they have been trying to adapt to the rules of no longer blindly worshipping the nine clans.
From this perspective.
The citizens of the capital are not as good as the dwarves!
…
Climbing up along the neat white marble stairs, passing the magnificent white jade statues standing solemnly on both sides of the fountain, the magnificent palace hall is already in sight.
The chief of the palace guards has been waiting in front of the palace for a long time.
"Welcome, three heroes, His Majesty and the ministers are waiting for you, please follow me."
After an impeccable bow, the chief of the guards turned around gracefully and led the way.
Pete took a deep breath without leaving a trace.
The movements of his two companions were similar to his.
This is not nervousness, but more of an excitement before meeting the most distinguished person in the kingdom!
Following the captain of the guards through the long hall of the palace, the throne room facing the palace gate is where the king holds ministerial meetings and receives guests.
The most core area of the entire palace!
The overall structure of the room is a standard perfect circle, which can accommodate hundreds of people. The throne symbolizing the king is raised by 3 steps and covered with a canopy, located inside the entire throne room;
There is a spear-wielding guard made of huge stones on each side. The two guards stand opposite each other, with their spears crossing in the air;
On the shoulders of the guards, there are two pure gold eagle statues with wings spread out.
On the dome, which is more than ten meters high, there is a gorgeous chandelier that is emitting brilliant light. From the walls to the pillars, everything is decorated gorgeously and in a winding style.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge map of the entire Reyak Kingdom on the ceiling of the throne room, which was completed by several well-known painters in the capital.
Anyone who is in the throne room can see every detail of the map above by just looking up.
From the outline of the kingdom to a town!
His Majesty Kenredin, 57 years old this year, is sitting on the throne, staring at Miranda, Pete and Lancelot who walked in with a sharp gaze.
Before inheriting the throne and becoming a king, Kenredin was a powerful 4th-level warrior. Time could not defeat his will. He could still wake up every day with full energy and deal with various political affairs that required decision-making in a vigorous and resolute manner.
Kenredin is tall, with a resolute face and majestic eyes. He has the silver-gray hair inherited from the Mokred family, which is combed into an unruly ponytail at the back of his head. His eyebrows are deep and the lines are clear.
There is a scar about 5 cm long on his forehead, which divides the right eyebrow in half and almost touches the right eye, making him a one-eyed king.
This was a "memorial" left by a monster with its claws when Kenredin Mokred, who was only 30 years old and had just passed away, went to the border defense line to fight monsters 27 years ago.
Although the Radiant Divine Art can completely heal and eliminate the scar, His Majesty Kenredin has never done so.
He left this memorandum on his face to remind himself that the evil gods and monsters from the void are still threatening the stability of the Kingdom of Reyak all the time.
As the first impression of His Majesty Kenredin's appearance gives people, this is a wise and iron-blooded king.
Soon after he ascended the throne, he went to the battlefield in person;
During the nearly 30 years he was in charge of the kingdom, he promulgated many important laws;
With Starosh as the center, the prosperity of the Sanctuary Plains has even returned to the state before the first outbreak of the Red Tide of the New Huili.
The development of other parts of the kingdom has also made significant progress.
Almost all citizens of the kingdom are willing to believe that under the governance of King Kenredin, any threat will be strangled outside the border.
…
In addition to King Kenredin, those who are qualified to watch this audience in the throne room are naturally the court ministers and nobles who hold great power and help the king govern the country.
The Minister of Finance, the Minister of the Palace, the Minister of Justice, the Military General...
And the great nobles, or their representatives who were appointed to attend on their behalf.
When Miranda, Pete and Lancelot walked into the throne room, their eyes with different expressions locked on them at the first time.
Curious, exploring, suspicious, enthusiastic, thinking...
Although no one made a sound or expressed an opinion, their eyes had revealed some of their own attitudes and positions.
"Welcome! Heroes of the kingdom, thank you for your contribution to this country!"
His Majesty Kenredin stood up without hesitation, and clapped his hands vigorously while welcoming them.
The ministers, nobles, and noble representatives around him also stood up like Kenredin and gave warm applause to the three of them.
In the throne room, thunderous applause broke out instantly.
