Time travel starts from Doupa

Chapter 1242 Struggle for imperial power; Sword Master of Guanlan

Helen almost slammed away the street lord with a cold face, Helen barely calmed down the anger in her heart, looked at the still calm Zhou Chen with a pair of beautiful lake green eyes, and explained softly: "Master Chen, I made you laugh!" , I also want to not offend the temple so quickly, so as not to startle the snake."

After all, the city lord asked himself, if he refused, then this matter would definitely reach the ears of the magistrate named Constantine, which would be too offensive.

"Small intolerance can lead to big schemes. You are right." Hearing what Helen said, Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

Before the words fell, Zhou Chen left the deck and returned to his luxurious bedroom...

The red-robed judge Constantine did not let Helen wait long. Less than two hours later, he arrived at the port with his entourage.

As the magistrate in charge of the supervision of several provinces in the empire, the arrival of Constantine naturally caused some commotion among the local officials and nobles who had been waiting on the pier, followed by all kinds of spiritual and material The flattery on the Internet is much better than the attitude towards Helen!
Now that the empire is weak, the identity of a red-clothed magistrate of the temple is more useful than the name of the princess Helen.

What's more, Constantine not only mastered the elite powerhouses of the Temple Inquisition in several provinces around him, he is also a senior holy rank powerhouse, with top-notch power and strength.

However, such a dignified figure who should be backed by the temple is not as arrogant as Helen imagined.

Surrounded by the cowardly street lord and local officials and nobles, the magistrate and his followers boarded the boat together and met Helen in a friendly manner.

Magistrate Constantine is a middle-aged and elderly man with extraordinary temperament and calmness. He looks like he is in his 50s.

He was wearing a cardinal's blood-red robe representing the authority of the referee, and his long hair, which was intertwined with black and white so that it was slightly gray, draped over his shoulders.He didn't have many wrinkles, and his red face always had a warm and loving smile. He didn't look like a high-ranking magistrate in red, but more like an ordinary and kind old man.

The only difference may be his deep eyes flashing with wisdom and shrewdness.

"His Royal Highness, thank you for allowing me to take your boat back to the imperial capital, and thank you for waiting."

Constantine bowed slightly to Helen, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Helen's eyes flashed, and she cursed in her heart, this old fellow is treacherous and cunning, instead of mentioning her status as an imperial princess, she mentioned her status as a saint of the temple.

Now, Helen's deep understanding of righteousness and helping others has become a normal hospitality for colleagues in the temple.

However, even though she was upset, Helen didn't show the slightest bit. Instead, she smiled back and said, "Master Magistrate, you are too polite. It is my honor to have a distinguished guest like you board the ship."

As she spoke, Helen introduced John and Mrs. Alice to Constantine, although she guessed that the magistrate had already heard of their names.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Constantine also took the initiative to introduce his entourage to Helen and the others.

Coincidentally, Helen also knew most of Constantine's entourage.

Many of them were priests or knights who had stayed on Mount Hailar, such as the three knights in golden armor. They were the masters of the Knights Templar who guarded the headquarters of the temple and served the gods.

This made Helen's heart tighten. It seemed that Constantine's mission to the imperial capital was not a peaceful and friendly mission.

With this in mind, Helen prepared to welcome Constantine into the reception room, which was called a reception, but actually meant to do some spying.

However, before she could speak, suddenly, two teams of knights in silver thorn flower armor jumped onto the ship from the port, and then spread out to both sides, with their heads held high, as if they were welcoming someone.

From the very first moment she saw these somewhat disrespectful silver armored knights, Helen recognized their identities.These knights are also from the Thorn Flower Knights, and the people they guard must also be the royal family! !
Sure enough, in the next moment, everyone near the port heard a deep and high-pitched voice announcing:

"Honorable Prince of the Empire, Your Royal Highness Oberyn Moon is here!"

In an instant, the audience was silent, everyone including Helen and Constantine stopped talking almost at the same time, and looked towards the source of the sound.

Soon, a slender figure slowly stepped onto the deck of the ship.

This guy looks about 40 years old, a standard middle-aged man.His face was soft and pale, and he was handsome. His long blond hair was as dazzling as the sun, and his lake green eyes were slightly blue. Although he was not young, he looked like a standard handsome man.

Of course, this appearance looks somewhat similar to Helen, a great beauty, and Little John.

This Prince Oberyn walked over slowly, with a gentle and lazy smile on his face, his appearance was very charming, and many aristocratic women around him immediately fell in love with him, and some even put on a nympho. look.

However, even so, the prince doesn't feel so feminine, but more masculine.

He walks as calmly as a mountain, neither rushing nor slowing down, with a faint awe-inspiring aura like a dragon walking like a tiger. The combination of hardness and softness makes everyone feel his strong personal charm.

If they hadn't known that he was not the emperor, but just an idle prince, everyone would have thought that he was His Majesty Odysseus VII himself, just because of his appearance!

The arrival of this Prince Oberyn immediately became the focus of the audience's attention.The originally silent port immediately became lively again.

Many local officials and nobles took the initiative to greet the prince.Of course, those who can talk to His Royal Highness are at least viscounts and above, and some of the lower status are not even qualified to join in.

Of course, like Constantine and his entourage, they will not rush to get along because they maintain their identities.On the other hand, Helen's complexion was not very good-looking, and anyone with a discerning eye could see her displeasure.

"Is this... the [-]-year-old boy in the royal family?"

In the luxurious bedroom of the cabin, Zhou Chen, who didn't go out, murmured.

He was lazily half lying on the rattan chair, and using his spiritual sense to detect through the wall, he could still see clearly, just like watching a live broadcast of a surveillance video.

He had also learned about Prince Oberyn's situation from Helen before.According to Helen, although this Prince Oberyn is about the same age as her father, the current emperor, he is a generation higher.

In other words, Prince Oberyn and Helen's grandfather, the Jagged Emperor who turned the tide after the disaster more than 60 years ago, belonged to the same generation, and they were the sons of the Jagged Emperor's uncle.

In other words, Oberyn is the cousin of the Jagged Emperor, uncle of the current emperor, and grandfather of Helen.

Of course, this identity is not important. What is important is what Helen said. This Oberyn is very ambitious and intends to usurp the throne.

Of course, as the saying goes, a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good uncle. Zhou Chen can completely understand Oberyn's determination to "progress."However, Helen also said that this guy Oberyn was cheating, and in order to expand his power and position, he actually colluded with the temple!

This is a bit powerful.

You know, the royal family and the temple have been mortal enemies for so many years. Even if they occasionally appear to be harmoniously coexisting, it is just an act.The positions and interests of both parties, as well as the blood feud forged over the years, all determine that only one of the two parties can survive in the end.

But even this state of life-and-death struggle can't stop Prince Oberyn, who is a member of the royal family, from being determined to eat inside and outside.

For so many years, this Prince Oberyn has always been interested in building a good relationship with the temple. Not only did he secretly communicate with the high-level officials of the temple, flirting with each other, he even openly accepted the baptism of him by the temple, and recognized the son of god of the temple as godfather.

This behavior of admitting a thief as his father is not his most coquettish operation. The most terrifying thing is that Prince Oberyn built dozens of glorious temples at the main city level for the temple in his own fief.He even faintly spread rumors that as long as he became the emperor, he would fully support the Lord of Dawn, so that every small village in the empire would have a temple!
That’s not to mention, as soon as there is any important action in the temple, the prince will rush up like a licking dog, sending people, money, and food... This time the red-clothed magistrate Constantine went to the imperial capital to perform a mission, I’m afraid money and food What is needed is also produced by this lick. dog prince.

If the temple had not been protecting the prince, he would have been killed by the emperor.

Of course, as the saying goes, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you only believe, you will be dark. Zhou Chen did not fully believe what Helen said.

At least, as far as Zhou Chen is observing with his divine sense, the words and deeds of this Prince Oberyn are very decent, he smiles and speaks calmly, and treats everyone who wants to make friends with him very kindly, without any kind of stupid licking. The appearance of a dog.

Even those petty officials who didn't even have aristocratic status came up to talk to him, he was all smiles, without any look of contempt or impatience.

The point is, this kind of easy-going and contagious way of dealing with people, from Zhou Chen's point of view, is not deliberately pretended by Oberyn. He is probably really so modest on weekdays.

But it is difficult for such a humble, courteous, and distinguished person to be related to the licking dog Helen mentioned.

However, to be reasonable, it is unlikely that Helen deceived him and deliberately added fuel to the air.

There must be something wrong here.

Zhou Chen, who was monitoring all the movements on the port through his divine sense, soon saw that Prince Oberyn smiled and said a few words to the nobles around him, then got away and turned towards Helen and Constantine. walk around.

The Prince Oberyn walked in front of several people, and did not ask any of Helen or Constantine first. Instead, he smiled at John and said, "Hey, isn't this little John? Long time no see. Hearing that your father recently defeated those Semitic bandits who were overwhelmed in the Northwest Ice Field, I'm really happy to congratulate you."

After hearing this, Little John's expression was obviously happy, but he soon straightened his face again, and said to Prince Oberyn with some embarrassment: "Your Highness is very grateful. It is an honor for our soldiers to be loyal to the empire."

"Haha, what you said, little John, is very true. When I return to the imperial capital, I will definitely pay a visit to Duke John in person."

As he said that, Oberyn turned sideways, looked at Constantine again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time is really a coincidence, I just wanted to take my grandniece's boat to the imperial capital, and I actually met you .”

As soon as this remark came out, Helen immediately rolled her eyes angrily.This Oberyn is obviously with Constantine. These days Oberyn stays here, but he has been living with Constantine.

However, this guy actually dared to talk nonsense in broad daylight and pretended not to be familiar with Constantine.

Zhou Chen also saw this scene.If he hadn't heard the street lord mention that Prince Oberyn was with Constantine, he would have thought that this guy was really not familiar with Constantine.

This Prince Oberyn is really an actor, a movie star level actor!

I saw the prince chatting with the "unfamiliar" Constantine for a while, and then the old god looked at Helen and said with a smile: "My dear grandniece, you are better than the last time we met. Your body has improved a lot. It seems that the Qing Xiu in Hylar Mountain has given you a lot of exercise."

"Hehe, thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."

Helen obviously didn't want to have any relationship with this shameless person, she said very deeply.

However, as the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the dog is difficult to deal with. Seeing Helen being so disrespectful, Prince Oberyn did not take it seriously. Instead, he continued to say with a kind expression: "Hey, my dear grandniece, I haven't seen you in several years. , you have a lot of births with my uncle and grandpa!"

After a pause, before Helen could answer, His Royal Highness said to himself again: "Not long ago, I heard that you were assassinated by a group of stupid thieves in the Thorn Forest. Uncle, I have been worried about you for a long time. I can't sleep at night, and I can't sleep peacefully until I know you're okay."

Hearing this, Helen was speechless for a while.After a long time, she replied coldly: "Oh, thank you, Your Highness, for remembering."

"Haha, it really is my niece and granddaughter, who know how to thank my uncle."

Prince Oberyn shamelessly took Helen's satirical words as a compliment, and then his face suddenly changed, and he said with that strong thirst for knowledge: "Dear Princess Helen, I heard that the reason why you can hide An assassination, is to meet a strong man who sees injustice, right."

Hearing this, Helen's heart was shocked, and then she sneered a few times. Sure enough, she just said, this guy who always looked at her annoyed finally showed his fox tail.

The corner of Helen's mouth twitched with confidence, and she said flatly: "His Royal Highness is very well-informed, yes, there is a kind-hearted sage who helped me to deal with those lifeless assassins. !"

"Haha, that's really nice."

As if he didn't hear the shocking meaning in Helen's words, Oberyn laughed out loud, and suddenly said in a funny tone: "Then what is the strength of this saint? Than, how?"
