    109. Count Enix¡¯s wise vision

    At the end of the sumptuous dinner, the sky was filled with stars. The drunken Earl Enix, supported by two palace attendants, walked slightly swaying in the stone corridor of the castle. In front of them were two  Castle guards holding torches led them to their prepared accommodation.

    Levi has ordered the most luxurious and comfortable room in the castle to be packed out. It was originally the bedroom of Viscount Lane. However, since the unfortunate man fell from the tower and died, it was sealed up and was not reused until the arrival of the kingdom's delegation.  .

    After several days of running around and consuming a lot of energy while reading the king's decree, Earl Enix now feels very tired and is eager to lie down on a soft bed and have a good rest as soon as possible.  Fortunately, the residence was not very far from the banquet hall. After passing through two corridors, a luxurious wooden door with gold lines came into view.

    However, there was no expression of joy on Count Enix's face, because there was a tall and delicate man standing next to the wooden door, looking at him with sharp eyes like an ice knife and a frost sword. His facial expression was far from friendly.  Far.

    It was Baron Reinhard Hughes who left angrily when the king's decree was read out.

    Although it was only a few hours ago, the baron's appearance has changed a lot. His blond hair that was originally well-kept now looks a little messy, and his face has a haggard look. He is so neat that even a trace of clothing lines are missing.  There was even a small stain on the unusual sky blue tight-fitting uniform, and the whole person looked much more decadent.

    Earl Enix sniffed. He drank a lot of fine wine during the banquet, but under the cold wind in the corridor, he had already recovered from his drunkenness, so he clearly smelled a bad quality from Baron Hughes.  The stench of ale made him frown.

    "Sir Hughes, have you been drinking?" Earl Enix said in a questioning tone.

    "Oh, I drank a little so what?" Baron Hughes's voice seemed a little slurred, and his tongue seemed to be wrapped around something, so he had to chew hard to spit out the words.  "EnixYour Excellency, Earl, when you were in the royal capital, how did you"

    "Shut up!" Count Enix roared angrily, the light in his eyes was like frozen glaciers. As soon as Baron Hughes's sharp gaze came into contact with him, he was instantly defeated. He shuddered involuntarily, and his voice was interrupted.  .

    "You two, please step back, as long as the palace attendants are here to serve you." Count Enix ordered the two castle guards.  He originally thought this would be a troublesome matter, but the two guards had no objections. After bowing to him, they left without hesitation.

    "Baron Hughes, come in and talk." Earl Enix said in a bad tone, then pushed open the gold-painted wooden door and stepped into the luxurious room prepared for him.

    This room is larger than an ordinary living room, and is divided into two rooms, the inner and outer. The outer room can be used to meet some low-status or close guests, while the inner room is used as a bedroom.  Even from the perspective of Earl Enix, who comes from a wealthy family in the royal capital, this can be regarded as a luxurious decoration, which fully reflects the respect that the owner of the castle has for the head of the kingdom's mission.

    There was a rather exquisite carved silver candlestick placed on the table outside. Several large candles held on it illuminated the room brightly. The flame in the fireplace was also burning, making the whole house warm.  The walls of the house, like the banquet hall, are hung with exquisite Var wool tapestries, which use colorful silk threads to depict various scenes of noble life. One of the hunting tapestry attracted the attention of Count Enix, making him particularly special.  Pay more attention for a while.

    Being able to create a reputation as a suave person in Fillmeyer, Baron Hughes certainly has a good eye for art appreciation, but now he has no intention of paying attention to those exquisite tapestries, but sat down on the chair next to the table.  , with a stiff and ferocious expression, like a stone carving named Anger.

    There was silence in the room for a while, and then Baron Hughes finally couldn't bear the silence and opened his mouth first, "Your Excellency Count Enix," his voice was as cold as gravel in the frozen soil, "Now you can say  Why? Why is your approach completely different from what we discussed before leaving the royal capital? Have you forgotten that dividing the viscounty territory is not my personal request, but a decision made by all the important ministers of the kingdom together? "

    ¡°Are you going to question me next about how you will explain to those people when you go back?¡± Count Enix asked without looking back while still admiring the tapestry.

    Baron Hughes took a deep breath, nothing could be worse than now, he told himself, and then tried to make his voice calm and strong.  "Yes, His Excellency Count Enix,"??That's what I want to know.  "

    "It seems that Fairmeyer's wine and beauty have indeed corroded your mind, Sir Reinhardt Hughes." Count Enix turned around, glared at Baron Hughes sharply, and then pointed  He pointed at the tapestry on the wall and said, "Come here and take a good look with your eyes!"

    Baron Hughes looked at Count Enix strangely, trying to find signs of joking or sudden stroke on his face, but he saw nothing, so he had to stand up and walk to the front of the tapestry from top to bottom.  Observe carefully.

    The tapestry is carefully woven with Var wool, which is more expensive than silver. The characters are vivid and lifelike, the techniques are complex and exquisite, and the craftsmanship is no less than that of the master craftsmen of the palace.  However, although the figures above were dressed luxuriously, they looked a bit strange. Baron Hughes looked closer, and then his brow suddenly jumped violently.

    "These clothes are actually the style before the founding of the Arthur Dynasty?"

    "It seems that your eyes are not blind yet. Do you understand now that what you are facing is not a little guy who got lucky, but an ancient family whose family history can even be traced back to before the history of the Kingdom of Arthur!"  Count Enix snorted, walked over and pointed to a figure in the tapestry, "Did you see this man in a golden robe?"

    "Who is he?" Baron Hughes swallowed with difficulty, and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart.

    "The high priest of the Temple of the Sun, or use a more understandable identity" Count Enix's voice deepened, like sharp needles piercing Baron Hughes's heart.

    "The Privy Councilor of the Glorious Cathedral."

    Baron Hughes¡¯ lips parted, as if he wanted to say something, but a trembling feeling froze his words in his throat.  Count Enix walked towards the inner room with a sneer, and the moment before closing the door, his last words of the night came.

    "Sir Hughes, go back to your room and think about how to get along with such a neighbor. As for the explanation from the royal capital, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about that!"
