Chapter 354: The Three-Eyed Raven
"It's here, my lord."
The low and respectful voice from outside the carriage made Annan silently open his eyes from half-sleep and half-awake.
It's actually here...
Annan never thought that he could run so fast on the road.
It was more than a day shorter than expected.
It's not how fast the horse runs, or there are some unknown secret roads... The main reason is that there is no stop on the way.
From city to city, station to station, new horses and coachmen are replaced each time. Only the man who was guarding Annan, wearing a crow mask and squatting outside the door the whole time, has not changed.
He took care of food, drink and Lazarus, and Annan didn't even leave the carriage. Because "leaving from a carriage covered with black cloth" is not allowed.
This is a soft yet heavy black cloth with a texture similar to coral fleece.
There are countless "eyeballs" patterns that are as real as printed on the black cloth. When the carriage moves, just staring at it will make you feel dizzy. And even if the carriage is motionless, no matter where you stand, you can feel many eyes watching you - such a strange canvas.
A carriage covered with this kind of black cloth cannot be seen by ordinary people at all; it also has a strong resistance to prophetic spells, and prophets and wizards cannot easily see what is inside.
For other superhumans with strong perception ability, they will immediately avoid such a carriage when they see it... Not only will they never attack, but they will not even dare to be seen.
Because it means "The Three-Eyed Raven is carrying information for His Majesty the King".
And every open eye on the black cloth is actually quite different if you look carefully. Behind the eye pattern embroidered with such a pattern is connected to the vision of a "three-eyed crow".
——My original two eyes, plus a separate, movable "camera".
This is the so-called "Three-Eyed Raven".
You don't need to be all over Noah's territory to quietly and closely monitor a country's intelligence agencies.
Not just on the black cloth of the carriage. It may even be embroidered on the neckline, cuffs of someone's clothes, or on the backs of the hands, foreheads, etc. of the living.
Through a simple ritual, the opening and closing of the eye pattern can be controlled - although only one eye can be opened at the same time, as long as the switch is timely, every three-eyed crow can monitor a large area of territory.
If you try to attack and monitor a carriage covered with black cloth, it is basically the same as trying to steal and rob when the police are a few meters away from you and watching you.
"The carriage is very high, please be careful."
When Annan got off the carriage, the man with the crow mask said respectfully, reaching out to support Annan's arm.
It is indeed difficult to get off a carriage that is more than half a meter high.
... Even so, he is not a fragile noble young master.
But Annan didn't push the man away, instead he leaned his weight towards him, and carefully landed on the ground with the man's support.
Then Annan bowed his head with a slight smile, and bowed gently to him: "Thank you."
"This is my mission."
The young man wearing the crow mask immediately stepped back half a step, returned the salute to Annan and replied in a deep voice.
Of course he knew that this was actually Annan trying to give him face...
He has already mixed it, this is to show kindness to Annan.
If Annan refuses to do this at all, he will directly refuse his support and walk down; if Annan is politely keeping his distance, he will help him vainly, but without his strength at all, Step down and stand firm.
Of course they knew that Annan was an extraordinary person, 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 and helped an unfamiliar son of the Grand Duke... This was undoubtedly a rude move.
In fact, this is just a simple trial.
Annan easily discovered the crow's intentions and made a very friendly response——
- I do need your help.
Although he didn't speak, Annan's eyes said so.
"Please come in with me."
The man with the crow mask nodded and replied in a low voice.
Annan quietly followed behind him, looking around at his surroundings.
After leaving the carriage, he felt a wet, cold wind blowing across his cheeks.
...It's really different from the frozen water port.
Annan sighed silently.
It was slightly different from what was agreed with Silver Sir.
Annan didn't wait until the spring hunting season to enter the capital... That is to say, in the current capital, the rotten believers have not yet been cleaned up.
That said, it's still winter.
However, Noah in winter is actually not cold.
The weather is different from Frozen Harbor and Roseburg. Although Noah is cloudy all the year round, even in Noah's January night and early morning, the temperature is generally around five or six degrees.
For Annan, this is not cold at all.
It was just a bone-seeking damp cold that made him turn his shoulders and neck with some discomfort.
Even if it is a "sleeper", sitting for more than a day will still make Annan's bones a little sore.
The Geraint family's mansion is not very big.
Perhaps it was because of the fact that every inch of land in the capital was so precious that he was similar in size to 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.
Also...
Annan glanced at the edge of the courtyard.
... This was the first time he had seen a noble courtyard so heavily guarded.
The watchtower alone, Annan saw six. Outside the courtyard, there was actually a thick, soundproofed marble wall—and the gun-wielding escort, Annan could see more than 300 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 upright and stable as the "guards" of the Geraint family.
This kind of guarding power with a blank face and no squinting when standing guard is enough to prove the strength of the Geraint family.
And Annan is currently on the boulevard in the backyard.
Behind him is a huge fountain, flanked by statues three or four meters high.
Below each statue is a stele made of black jade. It is engraved with the name, family and achievements of the owner of the statue.
Yes... Although this is in the Geraint's backyard, most of these statues are not from the Geraint family.
The person standing at the door to greet Annan was a well-proportioned young man about 1.78 meters tall, with black hair and black eyes.
He looks ordinary, neither ugly nor handsome. But his figure is very straight and stretched, without hunched waist and shoulders, which gives a sense of solidity.
Annan could see at a glance that this young man was somewhat similar to Don Juan.
The young man was a little stunned when he saw Annan's face - especially when he saw Annan's blue and green eyes, he was even a little lost.
But he quickly reacted and extended his hand politely like Annan.
"Welcome, Your Highness Annan."
The man made a calm and magnetic voice: "Introduce yourself...
"I'm Eugene Geraint."
