Even the most ornate phrases Malone ever knew—neither in lingua franca nor in Chinese—could describe the magnificence of the palace in which he was located.
I don't know whether the walls of the corridor where Malone came out were pasted with golden wallpaper, or simply plated with a layer of metal on the walls, in short, under the sunlight that penetrated into the corridor, it was a golden splendor.
A large crimson curtain hung on the walls of the gallery, making the golden glow less dazzling; Rows of huge portraits hung between the curtains, and Malone guessed that these were either the former kings of the kingdom of Lordaeron, or those important ministers who deserved to be remembered by the royal family forever.
The pillars of the promenade are carved with some reliefs that Ma Long cannot understand, in the garden in the distance, a string of small pavilions are neatly arranged, in the stone fountain pool, a stone statue of a girl is lifelike, and in the container held by the stone statue, the clear water flows down the slope, and the sound of flowing water makes it clear that even Ma Long in the deep corridor can hear it clearly.
Malone withdrew his gaze and looked at the closed door of the throne room in front of him—he knew that in this hall, his uncle Anduin? Lothar is doing everything she can to gain the trust of King Terenus.
Malone isn't worried about Anduin? Lothar couldn't do that, and he quickly focused his attention on the two guards guarding the door.
The white plate armor was shining, and the slender and ornate scabbard concealed the edge of the sword; Both guards were tall, unhelmeted, revealing the top of their heads with short hair.
The blue-edged shirt on a white background is embellished with gold stripes. On the front of the robe is embroidered a blue double-headed eagle with flapping wings; Marlon took a closer look at the emblem that symbolized the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron—it was a little rougher than he had previously thought.
"You...... From the South? ”
The two guards also noticed Marlon's gaze, and one of them hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.
"Me? That's right. I'm Malone from Stormwind? Lothar, Anduin? Sir Lothar is my uncle. Our kingdom has been overrun by the orcs, and we have had to flee here. ”
Malone replied with some surprise - he thought that these two guards would be like the guards of the British royal family on Earth, and they would not react like wax statues to whatever you did to them.
"That's really...... A tragedy...... But rest assured, since you have come to Lordaeron, His Majesty King Terenus will not ignore this. ”
The guard said to Malone—he looked younger, so he was more active.
"Don't talk nonsense...... How can you speculate about His Majesty's decision......"
Another older guard whispered to his companion.
"That's what I thought, too. King Terenus was notorious for his kindness and generosity. I am confident that he will treat us fairly. ”
Malone smiled at the two guards and said - these people still don't know what will happen in the future, but for Malone who knows this history well, it's not a secret.
"Have you seen my father?"
That's when it happened. A pleasant voice came from behind Marlon; He looked back in surprise - a blonde girl in a white palace dress was looking at him curiously.
The girl is not very old, and even in the relatively relaxed conditions of this world, she should not be an adult; Under the white dress. The two slightly immature breasts/pigeons bulge slightly. Under the slender waist, the hips that have just begun to develop are slightly upturned slightly, and under the hem of the white palace skirt, a pair of pink silk shoes embroidered with patterns are revealed.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
The two guards shouted in unison—it could be regarded as a reminder to Marlon that he was looking at the girl, or rather the princess, and his eyes were a little rude.
"I ...... I'm asking you! ”
But it seemed to be a little late—two blush flashed across the girl's face, and she carefully tucked her shoes under the hem of her skirt, and coughed lightly. Hide your embarrassment with repetitive questions.
"I haven't met His Majesty King Terenus, but my uncle has met with him a few times."
Malone smiled. He didn't think much of it, but when he saw the girl, he remembered Tiffany who had stayed in Nanhai Town.
"That's right...... Are you a guest from the south? I've heard Miss Gosloth mention it...... Do you want to see my father? Why not go in? ”
The girl nodded, then asked again.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Kalia, it's been a long time...... Are you chatting with Marlon? ”
Malone was just about to answer the girl's words, when suddenly, Benedictas's voice came from behind him; Malone looked back, this archbishop Alonsos? Fao's disciple didn't know when he appeared behind him.
"Hello, Lord Benedictas! When I first heard Miss Gusloss talk about what was happening in the South, I thought of you and Lord Fao...... It's great to see you're okay! ”
The maiden, known as "Kalia", was surprised to see Benedictas, bowed respectfully to the priest, and then spoke softly.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Lao is worried, and Teacher Fao and I are very good; Is Her Majesty Queen Leanne okay? I've been in the South for a while with Mr. Fa'o and I haven't had a chance to come back. ”
Benedictas bowed slightly, then smiled at Kalia.
"My mother is in good health, thanks to the healing of Lord Fao and you in those years......"
Kalia took two steps forward and came to Benedictas and struck up a conversation with him.
Marlon stood aside and watched all this, he already knew the identity of the girl in front of him - Kalia? Minethir, daughter of King Terenas and sister of Arthas.
Listening to the content of the chat between Benedictas and Kalia, Malone realized that it turned out that Alonsos? Fao and Benedictas were originally Lordaeron.
Alonsos? Fao's lifelong desire was to spread the word and virtues of Light to the hearts of every human being; To this end, he traveled between the four northern countries and Stormwind City in the south, and even the independent island nation of Kurtilas, located overseas, left his footprints.
The Chapel of the Light's Wish in Lordanstansom, the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, and the North County Abbey, which has produced countless excellent priests and monks to the church, are these all Alonsos? Fao himself had a good relationship with the royal families, and during his stay in the kingdom of Lordaeron, he also cured Leanne, the queen of King Terenus? Minahill. (To be continued.) )
