    The helicopter landed on a specially designed helipad.  Before the wings completely stopped rotating, the door inlaid with square glass was suddenly opened. Against the strong wind pressure, a tall and thin man jumped out. He was wearing the traditional clothing of the southern region of Western Sardinia.  Oyster white wide-sleeved satin shirt with an open collar, a wide rust-colored taffeta girdle, dark tight trousers with embroidery on the edges, a jacket of the same color with silver buttons, and a short cloak hanging down to the waist.  The richest blood red that velvet can express.  He was holding a white cloth bag in his hand. When he jumped out of the helicopter, a little bit of fine golden sand leaked out from the gaps in the coarse cloth bag. It was on the surface of gray-white fine stone concrete and the smooth, bright-colored  The polyurethane paint leaves little marks on it.

    Two staff members ran over. They were both wearing the unique olive-black uniforms of the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior. One of them was holding a small electronic record book. He shouted at the visitor amidst the rumble of the helicopter engine: "Saint Nancia is special."  District¡ªMr. Cid Salieri, right?"

    Cid raised his eyebrows. If Alex or Wildegg had been present, they would have marveled at the similarity between his brother and his father - that gesture of raising his eyebrows high to express doubt.  Both the angle and timing can be said to be completely consistent.

    "Yes." He replied majestically and indifferently.  He handed the bag in his hand to another staff member, and together with it passed the new security inspection equipment that could detect explosives and firearms placed on the side of the temporary apron, and then declined the staff's help.  In a proud body language, that is to say, walking with head held high and marching pace towards the Palace Square five hundred feet away - originally this temporary apron was intended to facilitate representatives of all parties in Sardinia to arrive in the best possible way.  It was specially erected after arriving at a high speed. After the helicopter belonging to Xu De quickly took off, another helicopter landed. On it was also a representative wearing a traditional dress, as well as people expressing approval and support. From the local  Fresh soil dug from a field or garden.

    It only took the current head of the Salieri family more than two minutes to walk to the statue of the Virgin in the center of the square. He glanced at the snow-white, life-size Carrara white marble statue and lowered his head.  Go, open the seal of the bag, and pour the calcareous soil belonging to the southern part of Western Sardinia on top of other soil. Compared with other black-red or tan soil, the soil in Western Sardinia is particularly barren because it is loose.  , it cannot retain water, and it does not have much humus that plants like most. On the contrary, the content of sand and gravel in the soil is quite high, but precisely because of this, the grapes in Western Sardinia have to work hard to grow their roots.  It extends downward until it can tap into groundwater rich in minerals and other complex components.  At the same time, the growth is slowed down, so that the fruit has a tight structure, fine grains and thick cortex, thereby producing more tannins - only such fruits can brew the oldest beverage and drink that has never been used in the entire history of the world.  The main drug - wine.  On the other hand, if the land is fertile and the water is abundant, the grapes will grow extremely lush and fast, and the fruits will be extremely large and plump. However, no matter how sweet and tender they are, they can only be used as fruit grapes (edible grapes).  , and cannot be converted into liquid gold that makes people fascinated.

    It¡¯s hard to say whether it¡¯s the suffering that gave birth to a special sweetness, or whether the sweetness is made clear by the heavy suffering. It¡¯s like no one can tell that the strength and perseverance of the Western Sardinians are the wealth bestowed by this remote and desolate land.  And honor, it is the former that gives this land of good fortune its own medal - Xu De carefully patted the bag, letting the last bit of soil fall to the ground, then pinched the two corners of the bag, folded it and grabbed it.  In the palm of your hand.  before making way for those who come after you.  The "King of Western Sardinia" looked up at the semi-circular balcony that stretched out like a bird. He knew that his brothers were behind the heavy curtain - for a moment, he hoped that Alex  Being able to pull back the curtain and come out - Xu De wanted to see the king raised by the land of Western Sardinia. Yes, Western Sardinia raised him. No matter where the roots of this seedling are, he is in Sali  Eli grew up under sunshine, rain, morning noise and even hurricanes, and his body and soul have the imprint of Western Sardinia.

    He is very proud.

    The curtains did not open quietly as he wished, and not even a trace of light leaked out - at this time, the street lights on the edge of the square had quietly turned on, an hour earlier than usual, so as to provide the best service to the staff who were cleaning the roads and planning the cordon.  There was plenty of light - and there were some people laying the tracks - the tracks were only an arm's width wide. Xu De looked at them for a few seconds and recognized that they were sliding tracks for cameras, which should be prepared for tomorrow's coronation ceremony.

    He looked at it very seriously, but in the next moment, the member of the House of Commons who was and is still a thug turned around without warning and movedIt was so fast that it was as if he was standing facing the visitor like that - the visitor was startled by the turbulent and cold hostility, but fortunately, the feeling was as fierce as when he came, and he retreated simply.  Withdrawing cleanly - Xu De's face softened, "Annie,or should I call you Mrs. Gonzalez?"

    "Oh my God," Anne, the Queen's Minister of Education, now Mrs. Gonzalez, exhaled heavily and put down the hand that she unconsciously pressed on her chest: "Mr. Sudd," she said softly, "Follow me.  I'll come. Alex is waiting for you."

    ***

    "At 10:08, the Crown Prince entered the church from here"

    Of course, Xu De could not see his brothers in the palace. For tomorrow's enthronement and coronation ceremony, the future king needs to practice, or rehearse - in the long corridor of the Sagrada Familia, Anne's husband Gonzalez  Si walked slowly on the scarlet carpet in place of the Crown Prince - as a substitute, he will walk twice according to the procedure that has not changed for centuries. The Crown Prince observes and learns as a bystander, and only needs to do it for the last time.  The Crown Prince himself appeared.

    Please forgive Xu De for using this word to describe this matter that should be said to be serious and solemn. As soon as he stepped into the side door of the main hall of the church, he saw a shiny and chubby head, and the owner of the head - Beverly  Director, and his team, he didn¡¯t know who was so talented that he hired such a group of guys - although the enthronement ceremony does not require scriptwriting or promotion, and the live TV station may be more professional than them, but in seizing the time  No one is better than them at finding loopholes and dealing with surprises - they can always think of things that others haven't thought of.

    "Take that flag away! - If you don't want to see a shaking audience on tomorrow's live broadcast!" The screenwriter, who has obviously become a picky person, shouted from the viewing position: "It covers most of this position.  Sight!¡±

    "Aristocrats don't shake their heads." Xu De turned his head and realized that the person standing next to him was Anne's old grandfather. This old man who was finally able to return to the aristocratic circle glanced at the people who were cleverly arranged on the flags with slight dissatisfaction.  Machines and wires above the columns, or behind the flowers: "It's hard to imagine." He continued: "I don't understand. How a Beverley director could see the coronation of our king better than I could."

    Xu De followed the old man's gaze and saw that the "director" was sitting in front of the small screen and watching Gonzalez's "performance" attentively. His eyes were unblinking, as if he was unwilling to let go of any little kid.  detail.

    He didn't want to say anything about it - the nobles were less hostile to Salieri now, especially now that the fact that Alex had become King of Sardinia was fully established, and their attitude towards him could be described as gentle.  ¡ª¡ªAfter all, the crown prince¡¯s adoptive brother and the king¡¯s adoptive brother are two completely different concepts. He pursed his lips subtly. Gonzalez had already walked to the altar and read ** silently. Taking this opportunity, Alex  Turning around, two pairs of black eyes greeted each other in the air.

    Xu De nodded.  Instructing Alex to do his own thing, in order not to affect him, he smiled politely at Anne's old grandfather and left the place, starting to visit this splendid and magnificent cathedral.  However, he soon found that he had almost no place to stand, and there were workers everywhere - the people laying wires, placing flowers, fixing curtains, etc. just walked away, and the people in charge of cleaning rushed up and wiped those things desperately.  Marble, mirror, gold-plated statue, wood, velvet, satin Although their eyes did not make Xu De take the initiative to help, at least they could understand and do it without causing trouble.

    "Mr. Salieri, come here." A moving but slightly hoarse voice shouted, and at the same time a door opened in the corridor, and Barbara leaned out.

    She almost rudely pulled Xu directly into the small room. This room was warm and bright, with mirrors everywhere and a dressing table with many long and flat drawers. Apart from the overwhelming bouquets, she looked like a star.  The dressing room - indeed, it was originally the dressing room next to the ladies' room on the day of the coronation - is now filled with beauties, Barbara, Mia Recliffe (someone may remember her  Twice starred in movies invested by Alex), and Lily, who was wearing a nun's vestment and a sad and soft smile, the only male except Xu De, was lying on a very comfortable short crotch at the end of the room.  , holding a coronation robe mainly made of dark purple velvet. It has a white mink trim inlaid with sable fur, a royal emblem embroidered with gold thread, and hundreds of sapphires, rubies and diamonds on the robe.  Every part of the clothes twinkles like little stars.

    Xu De¡¯s mouth twisted slightly. Like the coronation crown, the coronation robe is also the only one.He had watched the video of Queen Maria's coronation and remembered that six young female officials were responsible for carrying the coronation robe with a train (the part that dragged on the ground) that was twelve feet long.  Otherwise, Her Majesty the Queen, who is petite, will probably be dragged backwards by this coronation robe, which is not inferior to the weight of an adult man. Of course, Alex's strength is very clear, but he doesn't know that a king can't.  Can flutter the robe at the coronation ceremony

    "Is this no problem?" After briefly saying hello to the women present, the elder brother couldn't help but estimate the weight of the coronation robe. The satin lining was slippery, making the whole robe keep falling down, and Xu De felt that  The strap around my neck was too short and too narrow.

    "Alex has already tried it, and it's no problem. He can grab it with one hand when he has to walk and turn." Wildeger narrowed his eyes.  "Traditionally, male kings allow that."

    Xu De did not speak, but silently turned his gaze to the door leading to the lounge. Through this open door, and through the slender floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side of the lounge, you can see most of the main hall of the church - this is for viewing the ceremony.  It was set up so that a lady who fainted due to excessive excitement would not spend the rest of her time facing the wall after she woke up. There were pillars outside the window, and there were drawn curtains between the pillars. Unless they were searching deliberately or by chance, no one would be there.  I found that there is a special viewing platform here.

    Now it's Alex's turn - the brother keenly discovered that in addition to the camera controlled by the director, there are two cameras following Alex all the time.

    "what is that?"

    Xu De asked in a murmur. Although he already had an answer in his mind, he was unwilling to admit that the answer was based on his own knowledge.

    "In order for Her Majesty Queen Maria to see Alex," Anne stood up from Mia's side and said in a calm tone, because she once served as Her Majesty's personal maid and had a relationship with Salieri.  After a long period of cooperation, she was not completely ignorant of the entanglements between Her Majesty and Salieri: "She doesn't have much time to see Alex anymore."

    Xu De pursed his lips.  !  ~!
