After chatting for a while, Hao Ren got up and left on the grounds that he had an appointment.
"Your Excellency Guardian has an appointment with someone?" Veronica looked at him curiously. "Have you found an acquaintance?"
"No, one of your nobles invited me," Hao Ren explained. "He said that he came from a family in Hohenberg called Willie. He said that his family was in contact with many ancient hermits and knew many secrets of the previous generation. I was going to try my luck with him. Sorry, I'm not familiar with your aristocratic system, and even back then, I didn't worry about these things, so I didn't remember his title. "
Veronica was a little surprised. "Count Willie of the Kant family in Hohenberg? Willie? Tillian? Kant, ah, that's a very famous man, the famous young aristocrat of Taros. I'm afraid he's also the youngest count in the history of the kingdom. Although it's just a relatively empty title at present, when he inherits all his property and accumulates a little more merit, he will certainly be a noble role model who can go down in history. "
"So powerful?" Hao Ren was a little surprised. "I didn't really see it … I just saw that he's quite handsome."
"I didn't expect that the people of Sanctum would also look at a person's appearance." Ania laughed. "The young count is really famous. In fact, this time the two young people of the Kant family are not simple. Not only is there a genius female knight who has won the gold title at a young age, but Count Willie is also doing well in the political arena. His experience of leading troops to quell the seven barbarian rebellions in the Northern Wilderness has made many older military nobles look at him in a different light. To achieve such an achievement before the age of 30, I'm afraid the kingdom will not meet such a talented young man in a hundred years. "
"Heroes emerge in troubled times," Hao Ren said a saying on Earth. "The world is in a precarious situation, and geniuses can only emerge at such times. But compared to the two young people of the Kant family, the two princesses of Taros seem to be a little more famous. At least in terms of military exploits, Count Willie has only quelled the rebellion of a few hilltop tribes in the kingdom, while Veronica has been fighting at the border of Chaos for many years. "
Veronica looked embarrassed when she heard the praise. She smiled reservedly and said, "Well, I'm indeed better than him."
… Well, it seemed that this straightforward princess was not that reserved either …
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two princesses stood up and personally sent Hao Ren out. Just as they reached the end of the gravel path in the garden, a black carriage decorated with a rose branch and a dagger suddenly turned from the road. It seemed that there was a visitor.
The carriage slowly stopped at the side of the cobblestone road. A servant in a black uniform jumped down and opened the door on the side of the carriage. Hao Ren happened to pass by at this moment. When he saw the figure walking out of the carriage, he couldn't help but pause.
A tall, thin man walked out of the carriage. His cheeks were thin, and his expression was gloomy, as if he was always shrouded in a layer of frost. Under a pair of light gray eyebrows was a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon's. Hao Ren was very familiar with this pair of eyes.
When he first arrived in White City, he was stared at by this pair of eyes full of hostility.
At this time, Ania suddenly interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts, "Uncle Lohn, why are you here?"
Lohn? Is this the Grand Duke Lohn? Is it the alchemist he recommended who cured the prince and princess's "cursed illness" with the potion?
Hao Ren was a little surprised and asked subconsciously, "Are you Grand Duke Lohn?"
Grand Duke Lohn did not show any unusual emotion when he saw Hao Ren this time. He just kept a straight face as if his expression was frozen. He first bowed slightly to the two princesses and Prince Andrew, who was hiding at the back, and finally looked at Hao Ren, "Guardian, it's nice to meet you. We should have met at yesterday's banquet, right?"
"We met on the first day when the airship landed." Hao Ren also hid his emotions and just smiled, "It's just that I don't remember other people's names very well. Please forgive me."
"I heard that Your Excellency is a powerful ancient warrior and a high-ranking bishop of the temple. With such a position and a thousand years gap from now, it's normal that you don't pay much attention to us mortals," Grand Duke Lohn said lightly, "I'm here to see the recovery of Her Highness Ania and Her Highness Andrew. I wonder why Your Excellency is visiting …"
"Oh, I'm also here to visit the patients. Veronica brought me here."
Grand Duke Loen glanced at Hao Ren suspiciously. This time, he did not even try to hide his expression.
"What's the problem, Uncle Lohn?" Ania immediately saw the change in the atmosphere, and the way she addressed Grand Duke Lohn showed that she seemed to have a good relationship with this important minister of the kingdom. Of course, it could also be that they really had some kind of kinship. After all, in the kingdom's entangled upper aristocratic circle, blood relations had become a complicated network structure. It could even be said that the upper aristocracy of the entire Kingdom of Taros was composed of two or three major bloodlines. It was normal for some princes and nobles to address each other as kinship in private environments. "The Guardian is very concerned about me and Andrew," said Hao Ren.
"Is that so? Thank you, Guardian, for paying attention to us, the younger generation of a thousand years later," Grand Duke Lohn said with a straight face, and then suddenly changed the topic, "Since we suddenly met at this moment, it's a good opportunity. I have some questions to ask the Guardian."
"What questions?" Hao Ren was a little curious.
"I'm not a scholar, but I'm very interested in a lot of ancient knowledge." Grand Duke Lohn raised his eyelids as if he was really talking about the field he was interested in. "It's just that history is full of incomplete and fictitious shadows. It's difficult for a layman like me to touch the really valuable knowledge. I want to ask you, the Guardian of a thousand years ago, how did the three Holy Warriors of Sanctum divide the Hanging River into two? How did the Floating River recover to its original state? "
Hao Ren was stunned.
Then cold sweat began to flow on the back of his feet.
But the expression on his face remained unchanged. After a high-speed thinking, he forced out some words, "Ahem, I have been stationed in the Cassouin Grand Temple. Before the battle you mentioned, the Cassouin Grand Temple had fallen, and then I fell into a long sleep. Of course, I know nothing about the subsequent things you mentioned. Although it's a pity, I can't help you in this regard. "
"Is that so … The feat of the Holy Warriors dividing the Hanging River did happen at the end of the Millennium War." Grand Duke Lohn nodded, but then he asked the next question, "So do you know who destroyed the Scepter of the Frost Queen in the battle where the Pale Knight Wagner fell? As we all know, it was the damage of the scepter that caused the Everwinter Coalition to fail to arrive on the battlefield in time. But the truth of the destruction of the scepter is controversial. I'm afraid only someone like you who has personally experienced that era can tell us the truth. "
Veronica could not help but interject, "Uncle Lohn, isn't that …"
Grand Duke Lohn immediately raised his hand to interrupt Veronica. "I want to get guidance from the Guardian. Your Highness Veronica, you sleep through every history lesson. It's better to listen now. "
Veronica was speechless.
Hao Ren saw it. Although he did not know how he gave himself away, Grand Duke Lohn was obviously suspicious of his identity as the Ancient Guardian. He was not asking for advice at all, but questioning him.
"I know." Hao Ren spread out his hands. "But I don't have time to tell you now."
Grand Duke Lohn was stunned. This was not according to the norm.
He had schemed against many people, but it seemed that no one was so shameless!
"Because I have an appointment with someone," Hao Ren continued. "The Kant family is also inviting me, and it's also to discuss ancient knowledge. As a man of Sanctum who values commitment and fairness, I can't tell you more before I complete this appointment."
His first two sentences had completely changed the topic, causing the two princesses next to him to whisper, "Ania, is there such a commandment in Sanctum?" "I've never heard of it …"
"There was a thousand years ago," Hao Ren said with a straight face.
Grand Duke Lohn was startled, and then his expression did not change. "In that case, I'm being rude. Please go to the appointment first, Lord Guardian. I will wait for your advice. "
The implication was that he would have to come back to verify it later. Sure enough, the older the ginger, the wiser it was.
Hao Ren felt a headache coming on, but at least he had passed this hurdle. He kept the expression on his face unchanged. He nodded to Grand Duke Lohn while maintaining the demeanor of an otherworldly master, "No problem. Teaching the world is the bounden duty of us clergymen. I'm very pleased with your diligent spirit, little one. Go back and wait. When I sort out my thoughts, I'll come back and have a good talk. Guide? Talk? Guide you. "
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for the other party to answer.
Grand Duke Lohn's expression was petrified. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "Little … little one?"
Veronica and Ania felt that there was no problem with this title at all!
