Act XLIV

After the Inquisition, people saw the duel between the two legendary swords, especially the swordsmanship called Long Ming that Lawson finally used, its power was far beyond imagination, and in terms of destructive power alone, the sword moves of the bronze rank could even be comparable to the sword skills of the silver rank.

It's amazing that you can achieve that level of attack just by relying on magic.

After seeing this move, many people have a feeling that no one will challenge Lawson in the future, and today's martial arts conference should end here.

But to their surprise, just as Brian was seated, another challenger appeared.

And it's templar too!

"Do you really have to go up to the temple all of them today?"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration anyway. ”

"If I were Isrul's man, I wouldn't have agreed to the challenge, and who knows if the next one would be the Archbishop himself. ”

"But which one is this?"

Many of the nobles did not know the priest in front of them, and they were puzzled.

However, it is also true that nuns are not prominent in all aspects of the church, and at least the cardinals of the major courts are male priests, so it gives the illusion that nuns have no status in the church.

But the nun standing in front of everyone at this time is not ordinary.

Her long brown hair was mixed with silver threads, her amber eyes were as calm as water, and the nun was dressed in a silver-trimmed white robe, and a halo cross on her chest stood out.

"Your Majesty Lawson is superb in martial arts, and as a woman, I naturally can't compare to you. ”

However, when the nun spoke, it was an inferior speech, which made everyone even more confused.

"But if you want to dominate all races, force alone is not enough, force without restraint will only become violence, and the strongest force can not be restrained by outsiders. ”

Speaking of this, Lawson already knew the identity of the other party.

The nun of the Divine Attendant, a little-known presence in the Templar.

"I want the leaders of the Order Alliance to have the power to restrain themselves. ”

The nun said, then nodded lightly to Rosen.

"I am Teresa Agnes, the Templar Lady-in-Waiting, and I would like to discuss it with Her Majesty Rosen. ”

Let's talk about it?

Rosen tilted his head, meaning that the nun was going to debate with herself at the martial arts conference now?

"Please advise. ”

Although I don't know what the other party wants to say, since Rosen is standing here, it is natural that he will not refuse.

What's more, if it was a debate, Rosen didn't feel that a man with modern knowledge would lose out to anyone else in his time.

"If, after defeating the people of Chaos, the person with the greatest power in the world should go?"

Mother Teresa asked, much to the consternation of the crowd.

How could she ask such a question?

It is clear to everyone that the sword has its role only in times of war, and in times of peace, it is natural to be hidden.

Even the Sages, if they didn't take the initiative to retreat, then surviving after the Holy War would probably lead to a certain amount of strife.

After all, the existence of the Sage, who does not belong to any camp and has absolute power, is a great problem for any ruler, even if he knows that the other party will not usurp his power, it is difficult to guarantee that no other person with ulterior motives will use the name of the Sage to do anything.

People are more willing to accept the post-war without the presence of the Sage than the chaos caused by the presence of the Sage.

And asking this kind of question at this time is undoubtedly asking Rosen, if he obtains the command of the Order Alliance, will he leave on his own after the holy war and no longer interfere in the affairs of the world.

In a sense, if Rosen's answer is not correct, then even if he can win the final victory in this martial arts tournament, then he will be at a disadvantage in the next battle, and may even be denied by other forces.

If Rosen is a single sage, then it's okay, as long as he makes a guarantee, then this level is over.

But Rosen represents Isrul at this time, he can't retreat into the background like the Sages of the past, even if the war is won, he doesn't intend to let Isrul return to the barren half-plane, but to open up wilderness and establish a country on this continent.

Of course, Rosen could have replied to Mother Teresa, that the outcome of the war was not yet known, and that there was no point in discussing these things, and that he was not the strongest man in the world, and that he had no authority to determine the path of others, but that would only be considered a sophistry to avoid the problem, not the right answer.

What Mother Teresa asked was Rosen's dignified answer.

In a sense, this is a more sinister challenge than all previous matchups, as if not handled carefully, Isrul and Lawson are likely to find themselves in a dilemma.

"After the strong have completed their mission, they should naturally return their power to the masses. ”

Rosen replied, causing Mother Teresa's expression to change slightly.

"When you say that, does that mean that after the end of the holy war, the strong will no longer participate in any disputes and retreat into the background?"

Mother Teresa then asked, Rosen's answer was a little unexpected, she thought Rosen would explain, but she didn't expect him to give the answer that Mother Teresa had in mind.

"Of course not. ”

However, Rosen immediately dismissed Mother Teresa's speculation.

"And what do you mean?"

Mother Teresa was also confused by Rosen's words, does it mean anything else when Rosen said that the power will be returned to the public?

"In fact, the power of the strong should always be used by the masses of the people, and only in this way can force not degenerate into violence, and can the people rest assured that their safety will be entrusted to the strong. ”

Rosen said, causing the confusion on everyone's faces to deepen.

In this world, the reason why people become strong is entirely for themselves, and after becoming stronger, they can gain respect, wealth, status, and power, and the weak can only be dominated by the strong.

The strong protect the weak, most of the time just to maintain harmony within the domination, after all, the nobles also needed ordinary people to work in the fields to produce food for themselves, weavers to make clothes for them, and blacksmiths to forge all kinds of utensils for themselves.

This is the obvious feature of feudal autocracy, although there are many extraordinary forces in this world, but it is still a relatively backward civilization after all, even the Northern Ollincips Alliance, it is still mostly a monarchy with natural royal power.

The concept proposed by Rosen is a democratic republic that is at least a few hundred years ahead.
