Chapter 03: Welcome Ceremony

The day when Grey arrived at the Lion King Capital, it was snowing and white, and the whole city was immersed in a piece of white.

However, nothing can stop people's enthusiasm for the Paladin.

The team's friends were shocked.

The melodious bells of the church spread throughout every corner of the Lion King Capital.

It was snowing, and there were more people on the street than usual. That scene was really...

Passionate residents filled the streets with a cross-section of welcome.

A large number of soldiers must be mobilized to maintain order.

Whether it was a girl, an old man, a child, they were cheering for Gray. Countless hands stretched out towards Gray, crowded, pushed, exhausting the soldiers who maintained order. On the contrary, Elin, who should have been the protagonist, was neglected. Of course, Elin didn't mind.

Even more amazing, there are people scattering flowers on the roofs along the way.

This is very scary.

It is winter now and it is still snowing. This means that these flowers are all dried flowers picked in spring and summer and preserved until now. Generally, they only receive this treatment when the king personally conquers triumphantly.

Looking at the petals falling on the palm of his hand, Earl Grugru was stunned.

“How much does it cost?”

"Spend money? Shouldn't it be spontaneous for residents?" Pas asked.

"Who will stock up on a bunch of petals at home? The petals of the Lion King Capital are all stocked up by merchants, and the main customer is the royal family. I invested a little money in my early years and did this kind of business. Although it was huge profits, most years were lost." As he said that, Earl Grugru threw away the petals in his hand, accelerated slightly, and caught up with Irene's horse.

"Royal?" Pas was stunned for a moment.

When he came to Elin, the Earl of Grugru lowered his voice and said, "I thought the royal family would cause trouble for us. After all, we just pulled the king off the horse. But now it seems that the opposite is true. But it's better to be careful. I think this invitation is definitely not as simple as enthronement. The new king must have some other intentions, you must pay attention. It's best to discuss things with me."

"I understand, Uncle Grugru." Yilin said softly.

Gray was already dazzled by the way in front.

After Baicheng, the Lion King became the largest city that Grey had visited. Of course, Baicheng must not be comparable to the Lion King. It is said that the population is ten times different, and the scale is naturally ten times different.

The roads here are more spacious than Baicheng, the floors are taller than Baicheng, the buildings are older, and the sculptures are more exquisite. Even people's clothes seem to be more bright and gorgeous.

"Be careful, the opponent may be anyone." Catherine reminded in Grey's ear.

"people?"

"Yes, humans. According to the contract, no angels or demons can directly interfere in human affairs. In fact, we cannot interfere in the affairs of not only humans, elves, dwarves, orcs. So, if the other party wants to attack you, it must be through the demon envoy. The demon envoy will be a human. You will not feel any dark aura from him, because he has no magic power."

"I understand!" Gray nodded heavily and raised his vigilance.

At the end of the long street is the Lion Palace. It is a large-scale, blue and white palace. Yes, the palace, not a castle. Even the exterior wall is a palace composed of four-story buildings. The rows of windows and columns look like neat scales on soldiers from a distance. In the middle is a majestic and spectacular white gate and steps. Through the towering gate tower, you can also see the towering spire inside.

The entire Lion Palace really looks like a lion among the Lion Kings. Except for this behemoth, everything else is sheep.

As the royal family, the gap between the strength of the Sharp family and the Beshir family is obviously greater than what you can see in terms of military strength.

From afar, they could already see the welcoming team lined up at the gate of the Lion Palace.

Elin and Gray were stunned almost at the same time, of course, the reason was different.

Yilin was stunned because of this specification... This was not something a duke could enjoy.

With just one glance, she saw the king standing in the middle.

He has a tall figure, bright red fur collar cloak with white spots, white gold-embedded underwear, and black pointed-toed boots with spurs. Even without wearing a crown, Irene can recognize the unique outfit of the king of Isaac at a glance. Not to mention that he has golden curly hair that is very similar to Byrd VI.

There is also a distinctive goatee, who is in his forties. There is no doubt that this is Benedict II Benedict Sharp.

Standing on the left hand of the king, wearing a white robe and a gold-embedded hat, was the Bishop Anthony III, whom Irene and Grey had met during the Battle of White City.

As for the woman in her thirties who was wearing the same cloak as the king on her right, she was undoubtedly the new queen of this country.

Behind these three people was a large area of ​​gorgeously dressed nobles.

Further out, the majestic and majestic knights in heavy armor and horses on the right line are solemn and mighty knights. At least they are barons, all have their own fiefs and their own manors. However, here, they are just background boards.

On the left is a large area of ​​white robes and a large area of ​​people from the Holy See.

Banners flew in the wind, with hundreds of faces. This means that hundreds of families sent envoys to greet them here...

The king, bishop, and queen came out to welcome him at the same time... Irene couldn't imagine this situation. Maybe it could only happen when the Pope came. Although the Pope had not been to the Kingdom of Isaac for hundreds of years, the last time he came, it was because the Kingdom of Isaac and the Kingdom of Alan next door were in trouble, and the Holy See had no choice but to mediate.

Yilin was shocked by this scene.

Gray was also shocked, but he had just never seen such a grand scene. He didn't understand the meaning behind this scene.

"Yilin..." Earl Grugru couldn't help but sighed quietly beside Yilin: "I suspect that the nobles of the entire Lion King Capital have come. No, maybe even those around me have come. I have never seen a welcome ceremony of this specification."

Yilin said blankly: "I have never seen it before."

"Can it be that the things they were originally planning to use for Baird VI's triumphal were useless, and they just happened to use them for us?" Grey asked in a low voice.

Yilin couldn't help but give him a blank look.

The team continued to move forward slowly.

There were cheers from the people in my ears, flying petals above my head, and surrounded by hands stretching out towards them, as well as soldiers who were desperately blocking the people.

When I walked out of the street and came to the big square in front of the Lion Palace, the snow stopped. The sky seemed to have opened up in an instant, and the sun shone directly on Yilin, Gray, and the rest of the team.

The horn sounded, and a large piece of white dove flew into the sky.

The second division of King Benedict opened his arms and smiled, stepped down the steps and walked towards them. The Bishop, the Queen, and the nobles followed closely.

The team's friends, including Grey and Elin, quickly dismounted and then knelt on one knee.

"Duke Beshiel, Elin Beshiel, Beshiel and his subordinates, pay homage to His Majesty the King!"

"Get up! Get up!" the king said kindly: "It's not the king yet, it will only be after a few days of enthronement. Look, I don't wear a crown, and the Bishop hasn't given it to me yet. Hahaha."

As he said that, the king looked over to the bishop. The bishop smiled approvingly.

Turning his face, the king's eyes fell on Gray and said, "This one must be the Paladin Earl Grey?"

Elin whispered: "In fact, Grey has given herself the surname Grugru, so he should now be called the Earl of Grugru. He is the second Earl of Grugru in our Principal of Beshir."

"Oh, is that?" said the king meaningfully, "But, there are two Earls of Grugru, won't you easily get confused? I think one is enough. Moreover, the name Grey is much better than the difficult surname Grugru. Of course, I just talk casually. Earl of Grugru won't mind, right?"

When he said this, the king was heading to Earl Grugru and Shelley who were walking behind.

"Of course, the name Grey is really good." Earl Grugru said with a smile.

"Well, it's not bad. It seems that the old Earl Grugru has the same aesthetic as me." With a smile, the king turned sideways and invited Elin to walk back, and turned his head and smiled at Grey.

The nobles behind them quickly made way out of an aisle.

As soon as the king turned around, Earl Grugru and Shelley, who were standing behind, looked a little unpleasant.

Gray asked in a low voice: "Is my name that good?"

"Silly, he is expressing his dissatisfaction with your engagement with Shelley." Black Cat whispered.

"Why? My engagement with Shelley is our own business. Why did he express his dissatisfaction?"

"How can I know this? In short, the attitude is already obvious. I think this new king may want to make trouble."

"Is he the devil's envoy? Or I'll take him down now?"

"Ahem!" Before Gray could take action, Catherine quickly coughed twice and said, "Gray, the devil is definitely a bad person, but the bad person is not necessarily a devil. In addition to the devil, there are many bad people in this world. In fact, most bad people are already broken without the devil temptation. This is the most troublesome thing for us. Also, from now on, you must learn to identify the other person's identity and status."

"Why?"

"Because you are a Paladin, your actions represent the attitude of the Holy See." Catherine said helplessly: "If you just take any rude actions against the king, then the people of the entire country will guess the intentions of the Holy See. In addition, it may cause immeasurable consequences. You need to be careful not only to the king, the duke, the count, and everyone. Even if the other party is really a demon, you cannot take action without evidence. After all, this is not a white city, and the people here are not familiar with you."

"Oh, I get it." Gray had to retreat.

The black cat slowly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but secretly glad that with Catherine there, at least he could control Gray. If it were only there, then at this moment, he might find out what big a problem.

Standing on the platform, the king turned around, holding Irene's wrist in one hand and Gray's wrist in the other hand, and whispered: "My subjects, today, we welcome our heroes together. My father, Byrd VI, was once a wise monarch, but when he was old, he was unfortunately confused by the forces of darkness. He did things that violated the spirit of chivalrous, violated the rules and morality. This made me very sad."

"Luckily, at the most critical moment, our heroes appeared. Our Duke of Beshir, and our Paladin Lord Grey, were they who stopped my father in time, saved this country, curbed the forces of darkness, and avoided each of us sinking in the darkness. Please allow me, on behalf of everyone in the Kingdom of Isaac, thank them!"

As he said that, the king raised Elyn and Grey's hands high.

In an instant, the people gathered in the square cheered, and the sound of the waves resounded like an explosion, throughout the Lion King.

"Grey! Grey! Grey! Grey! Grey!"

Yes, only Gray.

The king smiled awkwardly and nodded to Elin and Gray respectively.

The black cat lying in Grey's belly whispered: "I thought he was just trying to resign, but I didn't expect that he would admit his mistakes so thoroughly for his father. This sounds even more wrong!" Thanks to Tayliu, the reward from the Nancheng Scenic Tour. Will Shuangpeng have more collections?
