Instead of taking Annan and his party to Noah's First Bank, of which he was chairman, Alexander took them to Iris Bank.
The side doors of their carriages also have patterns of fleur-de-lis and lions. There were no civilians on the streets they passed... This was to prevent assassins with malicious intentions from mixing among the civilians and ruining the diplomatic meeting.
On both sides of the street are the armored elites that Annan saw from the palace that looked like a clock turntable when he met Henry VIII before.
As the carriage moved forward, the guards on both sides of the street would neatly pause the metal spears in their hands, lower their heads and touch their chests with their hands when the carriage passed by.
This aspect is to show respect for the Duke of Winter.
On the other hand, it also pays homage to the pattern itself on the side of the carriage.
The iris and the lion are themselves symbols of the royal family of Noah.
With the name "Iris", Iris Bank is naturally not simple.
It is not the largest bank in Noah, nor the bank with the most users... but Wangli Bank, which is controlled by the royal family and has shares held by powerful people from the Silver Jue Church.
Iris Bank does not accept ordinary customers, small investments or loans. It also does not accept any noble stock participation, but is directly connected to the Noah's treasury itself.
Nominally, it has only one chairman.
That is the current King Noah.
It is a bank on the surface, but it is actually one of Noah's real institutions. The main authority it is responsible for is to lend money to some "state institutions" approved by the king himself.
For example, building roads, building bridges, maintaining the Great Barrier, building the National Center for the Performing Arts... projects that require funding in the name of the royal family will ultimately go through Iris Bank.
If there are any big nobles or big businessmen who want to invest in or act as agents for a project that the royal family is responsible for, they should also go to Iris Bank to discuss it.
The Iris Bank has such a close relationship with the royal family, so its main body is naturally close to Noah's palace. Even its **** is directly embedded in the palace... Go southwest from the fountain blessed by Silver Lord, and you can directly enter the back door of Iris Bank.
After all, it needs to transfer funds directly from the treasury every week, and the entire transfer process will not leave the palace. As for the personnel protecting this bank, in addition to the Silver Knights of the Silver Lord Church, there are also the Three-Eyed Crows lurking in the dark.
Annan, Maria and Victor Frostwhisper were drinking tea and chatting in the exclusive offices of the directors of Iris Bank.
The Hand of Winter and the Three-Eyed Crow were waiting outside the door together.
The players vaguely surrounded the bank from the outside.
...Annan always felt that this seemed to have deviated from the definition of the word "secret protection" and had gradually shifted towards a "stepping point".
For those who don’t know, I thought they had too much fun with "three men and one dog" or "pay day"...
It had been less than half an hour since Annan and the others sat down.
There was a knocking sound at the door.
"...My lord."
A very light and soft voice, as if not wanting to disturb the sleeper, sounded from outside the door: "Long wait."
As the door opened, Kafni Noah, who had changed her clothes, appeared outside.
She is no longer the same as before, always wearing the black lace dress and the beret like a painter... but she is dressed up in a rare way.
Kafni put on a pure white strapless dress and wore long white gloves. The fluffy hem does not hang down directly to the feet like before, but is above the knees... The back hem is very long, but it is more like a cape than a skirt.
In addition, she also put on pure white high-heeled boots.
This is undoubtedly a standard evening dress. The color scheme and style are even reminiscent of wedding dresses.
Kafni's impression suddenly took on a new look - that dark temperament had almost disappeared.
Putting on pure white clothes from head to toe, Kaifni looked as if she was sparkling. It made her waist-length curly hair even darker. If she closed her eyes at this moment, her posture would even be reminiscent of a statue of a god.
But it is when Kaifuni opens her eyes that she loses that sense of sanctity.
It’s just that Kaifuni’s crystal-red pupils, which are almost glass-colored and so clear that one might wonder if she is blind, are still full of that almost sleepy trance.
"...huh?"
Maria let out a light sigh and focused her attention unexpectedly.
The moment she and Kaifni looked at each other, she had an "extremely distant" vision.
It was as if what Kafni was looking at was not Maria, nor the individual human being, but something extremely distant, extremely abstract, and extremely ethereal. To put it metaphorically, it's closer to the moment of fear when the prophet reveals the secret.
Yes.
Kafni's clear pupils were filled with demonic sight. On the contrary, it will make people unable to help but have a strong sense of fear.
"...is it a vision?"
Maria murmured.
This may be what the profession of "painter" has in common.
It is said that the sights of Yaweng and Zhiji also have this kind of magic.
Ya Weng has already analyzed thousands of things in the world, and his eyes are so sharp that it gives people the illusion of being dissected. And that kind of illusion is so realistic that it not only makes the brain believe it... but even makes the world deceived.
Therefore, people with weak will and weak courage should not look at Yaweng. Otherwise, in a moment of cowardice, Yaweng's subconscious imagination may turn him into a "general teacher".
The gaze of Paper Princess will make people feel the ultimate beauty - this is Paper Princess's self-sealing, the purpose is to protect those mortals who glance at her.
Those who do not look at Paper Princess will only feel the "beautiful back", but will not be deprived of their rationality and consciousness. But the moment you look at Paper Princess, you will instantly lose all other meanings of life... Not only will it change other people's outlook on life~IndoMTL.com~, it may even make them go crazy instantly due to the ultimate love and beauty.
The deeper the understanding of "beauty", especially the painter who has entered the field of abstraction, the more serious the mental impact he will receive when he looks at Paper Princess.
Because the element of "beauty" held by Paper Princess is beautiful under all circumstances and in all aesthetics. And if you look at Zhiji, you will see the existence of "the ultimate beauty" in your understanding, even far beyond your imagination.
And such an image may not necessarily be a beautiful girl, or even a human being, or it may not necessarily be in a material form...
Since it can produce visual hallucinations.
Leave aside Kafni's ability as the future queen.
Her field as a "painter" has indeed approached the limits of human beings.
"——Sir!"
The moment she saw Annan, a faint smile suddenly broke out on Kafni's face.
The "illusion" produced by the empty and far-reaching sight that gave people a sense of fear was immediately broken by Kaifuni's smile.
That's right. The reason why Captain Alexander chose this place as the meeting place...
Of course it’s because Kaifni has already explained it in advance——
She couldn't come over openly with Annan, but she could come in through the back door of Iris Bank.
The Silver Jue Church, which is closer to the fourth prince, obviously hopes that Kaifni can become the new king.
"...And, Your Highness Maria."
Kafni looked at Maria who was sitting next to Annan, her expression calmed down, and she thought about her and bowed solemnly:
"First meeting...I am Kaifni Noah. I will be Noah's future queen."
She solemnly declared: "I am also a [disciple] of His Majesty Annan."
