Chapter 354: Three-Eyed Crow
"It's here, my lord."
The low and respectful voice outside the carriage made Annan open his eyes silently from half asleep.
It's here......
Annan never thought that he could run so fast on the road.
It was more than a day less than expected.
It's not that the horse runs fast, or that there are secret passages that no one knows...... The main reason is that it has never stopped along the way.
From city to city, from post station to post station, new horses and coachmen are replaced each time. Only the man who was by Annan's side, wearing a crow mask, and squatting outside the door all the time, had not been replaced.
He took care of all the food, drink, and Lazar, and Annan never even left the carriage. Because it was not allowed to leave the "carriage covered with black cloth".
It is a soft and heavy black cloth with a texture similar to coral velvet.
There are countless "eyeball" patterns on the black cloth that are as real as they are printed, and you will feel dizzy when you move the carriage and just stare at it. And even if the carriage is motionless, no matter from any angle, you will feel that many eyes are watching you - such a strange canvas.
The carriage covered with this black cloth is not visible to ordinary people; It also has an extremely strong resistance to prophetic spells, and prophetic wizards cannot easily see what is inside.
And for other transcendents with strong perception, they will immediately avoid such carriages when they see them...... Not only will they never attack, but they won't even dare to be seen.
Because it means that "the three-eyed raven is delivering intelligence for His Majesty the King".
And every open eye on the black cloth, if you look closely, there is actually a considerable degree of difference. Behind the eye pattern embroidered with such a pattern is the vision of a "three-eyed crow".
- His original two eyes, plus an out-of-body, movable "camera".
This is the so-called "three-eyed crow".
You don't need to be all over Noah's territory to quietly and closely monitor a country's intelligence agencies.
And not just on the black cloth of the carriage. It may even be embroidered on the neckline or cuffs of someone's clothes, or on the back of the hands of the living, on the forehead, etc.
With a simple ritual, the opening and closing of the eye pattern can be controlled - although only one eye can be opened at a time, each three-eyed crow can monitor a large area of territory if the switch is made in time.
Trying to attack and monitor a carriage covered with a black cloth is basically the same as trying to steal and rob a police officer a few meters away from you, watching you.
"The carriage is very high, please be careful."
As Annan got out of the carriage, the man with the crow mask said respectfully and reached out to hold Annan's arm.
It is indeed difficult to get off the carriage that is more than half a meter high.
…… Despite this, he is not a fragile aristocratic young master.
But Annan did not push the man away, but tilted his weight towards him, and fell carefully to the ground with the man's support.
Then Annan lowered his head and smiled lightly, and bowed to him gently: "Thank you." ”
"This is my mission."
The young man in the crow mask immediately took a half step back, saluted Annan in return, and replied in a deep voice.
Of course, he knew that this was actually Annan's desire to give him face......
He has already brought it over, and this is to show kindness to Annan.
If Annan doesn't accept this at all, he will directly refuse his support and go straight down; If Annan had politely kept his distance, he would have been supported by him without relying on his strength at all, and he would have walked down and stood firm.
Of course, they knew that Annan was transcendent, and it was impossible for him to fall in such a place. Not to mention, the male servant, who didn't show his face and didn't take off his hat, stepped forward directly and supported the son of an unfamiliar Grand Duke...... This is undoubtedly a faux pas.
In fact, it's just a simple temptation.
Annan easily discovered the crow's intentions and responded very kindly-
- I do need your help.
Although he did not speak, Annan's eyes said so.
"Please come in with me."
The man in the raven mask nodded and replied in a low voice.
Annan quietly followed him, looking around at his surroundings.
After leaving the carriage, he felt a wet cold wind wash across his cheeks.
…… It's really different from the frozen water port.
Annan sighed silently.
It's a little different from what I agreed with Silver Sir before.
Annan did not wait for the spring hunt season to enter the royal capital...... In other words, in the current royal capital, the rotten believers have not been cleaned up.
That is, it is still winter.
However, Noah in winter is actually not cold.
The weather is different from Frozen Water Harbor and Roseburg. Although Noah is cloudy all year round, even at Noah in the night and early morning of January, the temperature is generally around five or six degrees.
For Annan, this is not cold at all.
It's just a bone-oozing wet cold, which makes him turn his shoulders and neck a little uncomfortably.
Even if it is a "sleeper", but sitting for more than a day in a row will still make Annan's bones a little sore.
The Geraint family's mansion is not that big.
Perhaps because of the fact that there is a lot of land in the royal capital, he is about the same size as the Viscount Mansion in Roseburg.
But whether it is the decoration style or the decoration of the courtyard, the difference in style can be clearly seen.
The other thing is......
Annan glanced at the edge of the courtyard.
…… It was the first time he had seen a noble courtyard so heavily guarded.
For the watchtower alone, Annan saw six. Outside the courtyard, there was a thick, soundproofed marble rock wall—and the gun-wielding convoy, Annan could see more than three hundred people at a glance from his angle.
And the temperament of these guards is also completely different from that of Roseburg.
Even the soldiers on the Roseburg side were not as straight and firm as the "guards" of the Gerante family.
This kind of garrison force with a blank face and no squint when standing guard is enough to prove the strength of the Geraint family.
And Annan is currently on the avenue in the backyard.
Behind him is a huge fountain flanked by statues three or four meters high.
Underneath each statue is an obelin, with a black jade texture. It is engraved with the name, family, and exploits of the owner of the statue.
Yes...... Although this is in the backyard of the Geraint family, the vast majority of these statues are not from the Geraint family.
And the person standing at the door to greet Annan was a young man about 1.78 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, black hair and black eyes.
He was ordinary-looking, neither ugly nor handsome. But his figure is very tall and stretched, without a stiff waist, and his shoulders give people a sense of solidity.
Annan could see at a glance that this young man had some resemblance to Don Juan.
And when the young man saw Annan's face, he was also a little stunned - especially when he saw Annan's blue and green eyes, he was even a little distracted.
But he reacted quickly, like Annan politely reaching out his hand.
"Welcome, Your Highness Annan."
The man's voice was calm and magnetic: "Introduce yourself......
"I'm Eugene Gerant."
