Chapter 246: Mage? Priest!
Pistols, or gunpowder weapons, are contraband in the Empire, except for the army and a few places where they are allowed to use this weapon, only swords or bows are allowed anywhere else, so when there are so many people in this room with muskets, most of the people present know that the man next to Lilith is not simple.
Many people who were originally going to watch the play slipped out one after another, and even the shopkeeper knew that most of them were going to be unlucky today, but only the young man still roared with a senseless face, or rather ignorance:
"You are amazing, do you know who my uncle is?
The arrogance of the young man made Lelouch not angry, but a refreshing feeling came out from the bottom of his heart: This Nima's bloody plot is finally my turn, and the next thing is to follow the development of the plot by myself, and finally suppress this evil young man fiercely, and experience the bridge of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Lelouch coughed and coughed, and was about to punish the evil young man and the so-called uncle behind him, Lilith suddenly took Lelouxiu's hand:
"You'd better hurry, I'm not here to eat today, the chef is going to run away!"
Lelouch and Evil Shao looked at Lilith with a confused expression, but Lelouch reacted quickly, and died a color at the forehead guard beside him, at least ten people rushed into the kitchen, and then listened to the sound and went up to the second floor, and finally with a fight, the entire second floor was quiet, and at this moment Lelouch knew that the chef on the second floor was definitely a hard stubble.
The excellent training quality of the dark guard at this time is reflected, and the remaining dark guards protect Lelouch and Lilith in the middle for the first time, and then pull out their pistols at the same time and shoot directly at the roof, the dense barrage covers the entire roof at this moment, just kidding, in this case, for the dark guards, it is worth killing all the people in the store, as long as it can strangle any possibility of threatening the human emperor in the cradle, it is worth it.
It wasn't until this burst of dense gunfire that the evil young man suddenly took care of it, and now it's no longer a joke, and at this time, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves at the door, and the knights of the Holy Guard Knights who had been hanging behind them not far away rushed over at this time, and they began to rush here as soon as the dark guard appeared.
Two hundred holy guard knights appeared at the door, their equipment can be said to be the most luxurious in the entire empire, and the combat power is also the most powerful among the human race, at this time they did not directly rush in on horseback, but dismounted at the door and walked in, just kidding, the human emperor is still in the house, what if the house collapses?
The appearance of two hundred holy guard knights will be as soft as pulling out the muscles and bones of the evil young to the ground, in the White City can be closely protected by the holy guard knights, no more than three people, evil young is no matter how stupid they are, they all understand what the current situation is.
But at this time, everyone present did not pay attention to him, but looked at the second floor, after the knight of the Holy Guard, who was more good at protecting, took over the safety of Lelouch, the lightly armed secret guards rushed up to the second floor, but where it seemed extremely quiet, Lelouch suddenly felt that someone was watching him after hearing the voice, and before he had time to shout badly, Lilith made a move.
A white light shone directly through, and the place that was originally a little dark because of the corner suddenly became bright, where, a figure wearing a cloak and a big hat appeared in the field of vision, he held a sword in his right hand, and a magic stick in his left hand, which emitted a dark light, and it was this light that allowed him to hide in the darkness.
But this faint black light under Lilith's light, but like a firefly in the sun's gap, after discovering the enemy, the Holy Guard Knight immediately passed over four people, they formed a semicircle to surround the mage in the middle, shook the cloak, pulled out the broad sword from his waist, and directly inserted the sword into the ground, the hilt of the cross, casually emitted light.
When Lelouch saw this scene, he felt as if he had come to the magic world in an instant, and he was able to see the magic duel today? But the next battle made Lelouch feel a little bored, and saw the four knights who relied on the blessing of weapons strode towards the black mage, the black mage waved his staff at one of them, and shot a black light, the black light hit the knight's armor, a quick flash of light canceled out the black light, and the knight who was hit did not even move, and the four knights raised their broadswords at the same time at the moment of approaching, and slashed at the black mage.
"I surrender!"
"Stop!"
Four broadswords were on top of the mage's head, and if he had gone any faster, the mage might have to go home.
The mage watched the attack stop, then he breathed a sigh of relief, threw the staff and sword on the ground, and squatted on the ground like a thug admitting defeat: "If you don't fight, you won't fight, you are powerful, I will surrender!"
Lelouch realized through his voice at this time that the person who spoke was very young, but when Lelouch couldn't figure it out, how could this mage, who seemed to be valued by Lilith, not even be able to stop it for a round under the attack of the four holy guard knights, perhaps because he felt Lelous's questioning gaze, the mage suddenly raised his head and muttered:
"Hey, you think mages are all immortals, we just know a little more!"
Lelouch looked at the attitude of this mage, and suddenly remembered a thing that Wang Zifeng had popularized about mages to himself, there used to be a special trial knight in the church, mainly responsible for those who had magic that the church did not allow to learn, or some monsters, these trial knights once only sent five people, and chased and killed a dark wizard who was known as the strongest combat power in the mage world for thousands of miles, and was finally killed in front of a big river.
These knights' combat effectiveness is naturally strong, and the church is equipped with some professional weapons for them to fight the enemy, but their knights' swords and armor are mixed with a trace of Mithril and light magic blessings, which is the core condition for their victory, these conditions allow them to avoid being attacked by magic, and they can give full play to their powerful melee ability, and these magic equipment are also all equipped with the entire Holy Guard Knights, and they are even stronger, so it is extremely normal for this black mage to face four Holy Guard Knights and not be able to pass a round。
...
Esther (book friend 1565082093 provides the role) feels that he is really unlucky today, after the funeral of his teacher in the gray swamp, he originally planned to go to the mage paradise that circulated among the mages, deep in the sand sea in the far west, but when he passed through the Central Plains, he was trapped in the white city because of the war, although he had the skills of a black mage, but he didn't dare to use it here in the white city, and in the end, he was helpless, in order to survive, Esther actually became a chef.
And coincidentally, Lilith actually prefers to eat at his place, but Lilith is not because he tastes good, but because this black mage actually uses magic to help when cooking in order to save trouble, which makes the dishes almost have a hint of magic, so Lilith will often come to eat, and recently maybe she feels that she has been in the White City for too long, so she has to give Lelouch something in return, so she decided to give this Esther to Lelouch, uh, yes, I didn't ask Esther for advice in the whole process.
Sitting in an interrogation room in the White Tower, an official was constantly asking about Esther, and behind him stood two knights of the Holy Guard who directly clubbed their broadswords on the ground, as long as Esther dared to make any abnormal moves, he would be immediately split into pieces, and Esther's situation was also sent to Lelouch's hands along with the official's records, Lelouch didn't understand why this Esther could get Lilith's attention.
Esther to be honest, the combat power doesn't look very good, although he is learning combat magic, and it is also said to be the most lethal dark system, but in actual combat, Lelouch feels that such a person can be said to be useless on the battlefield, and I heard that after learning that he had captured a black mage, the church actually cautiously sent two archbishops to deal with it.
After all, in the initial division of power, this kind of 'heretical' incident that Lelouch didn't seem to be very important was happily handed over to the church to be responsible, but it was just a lot of restrictions and supervision, so it was impossible for the church to conduct a big trial, but a heretic like Esther, the church could judge him without any restrictions.
So Lelouch now has to figure out how to protect Esther under the pressure of the church, Lilith dropped the package for herself and went back to her room to rest, but thinking of Lilith's conversation when they were separated, Lelouch still felt a little funny:
"I went shopping with you today, are you happy?"
"Uh... Happy?"
"Well, that's good, I'm done!"
“...”
Lelouch laughed again, and then was woken up by a loud voice:
"The servant really deserves to die, causing you to suffer from evil magic, Miko-sama, the servant must bring this wicked man to justice!"
An old man in a white and gorgeous robe walked in, although he was caught, but his face was full of ferocity:
"In addition, in order to ensure your future safety and to protect the entire kingdom, I also ask Miko to approve the re-establishment of the Knights of Judgment and give us the right to judge heretics throughout the territory!"
Well, this archbishop is mainly responsible for the heresy of the black magician, so he is particularly tyrannical when he speaks, and he opens his mouth to fight and kill, although the person he kills is not as good as a finger of Lelouch, but Lelouch is a little disgusted by this, the Knights of Judgment are directly loyal to the army of the church, Lelouch is now finally able to minimize the influence of the church on politics, and the current church has no military rights and economic rights at all, in addition to ensuring religious unity for Lelouch, that is, constantly providing talents that he has cultivated with all his heart。
And in the squeeze of the church, Wang Zifeng is the vanguard, and Al completely acquiesces, no matter what their starting point is, the influence of the church is getting weaker and weaker, but the degree to which he is embedded in the empire is also getting stronger and stronger, the church has become weaker, but the church can also survive longer.
The archbishop did not make any further movements after bowing respectfully to Lelouch, and Lelouch was more satisfied, at least the people of the church knew their position:
"This heresy will not be handed over to the church to deal with, I have my own arrangements!"
Lelouxiu's words made the archbishop stunned for a moment, Lelouxiu's approach was a bit out of bounds, but the archbishop could only bow his head respectfully, Lelouch looked very talkative, but in fact, everyone in the church could feel Lelouxiu's distrust of theocracy like them, so they didn't dare to make too many moves in front of Lelouxiu, and Lelouch's current authority was about to catch up with the level of the first emperor of the founding of the human race, under this authority, Lelouch didn't need to spend too much effort to crush their church。
Lelouch is now also in a complementary state with the church, Lelouch now needs to strengthen economic construction, and the church currently has a huge role in the centripetal force and cultural unity of the entire empire, Lelouch does not want to spend so much effort to replace the current church.
The two archbishops came and went quickly, and Lelouch also had a bottom on Esther's arrangement, and it was definitely impossible to use it directly in a more core position, but Lelouch suddenly noticed under the archbishop's reminder that Esther's skills do not have to be played on the battlefield or in some environments that require a big kill, and there is a place where Lelouch feels that it is very suitable for him.
"What do you mean? You want me to teach?!"
Esther looked at Lelouch in disbelief, his face full of expressions of "you are teasing me", he seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked again:
"Are you sure you want me to teach as a black mage, or do you want to do it to the church fanatics?"
Yes, Lelouch plans to let Esther teach, and the students, mainly a legion team that Lelouch plans to re-establish, the Imperial Knights of Judgment!
Lelouch had been ignoring these mages before, and today he could meet a mage in the White City, so how many people should there be in the rest of the empire? Not to mention those monsters, in recent years, he has strengthened the production of materials and the security of densely populated areas, and with the division of a large number of legions, the security of the entire empire has also improved a lot, but the imperial legions are not specifically used to deal with these after all, although Lelouch does not have this urgency at present, but the plan is to go ahead, and wait until the time is needed to do it, but it is too late.
Thank you for your great rewards, I am very moved, so I will add a more chapter in the afternoon! Thank you~~~
