Chapter 44: The Church's Mediation!
Syllable! There was a slight pain in the head. Eren opened his eyes and saw Fiona standing hunched over with the plaster in hand. Of course, because she took off her armor and changed into a noble waist suit, the white flowers on her chest made Alan feast for his eyes.
Syllable! It hurts a lot more than it just now. Alan couldn't help but grin, touching his head and gasping coldly.
"Look at what! Not serious!" Fiona complained, then helped Alan untie his shirt and said, "Let you lie down and recuperate, and don't listen, you have to run outside." Come on, it's time for a dressing change. ”
Alan sighed: "Don't look at the big room, but it's cold and lonely, and it's not as comfortable as outside." As she spoke, she asked Fiona to apply the plaster to her chest, and then tied it up in a circle.
"That's right, Nana. How did you get such a good workout? Is there a secret that you don't know?" Alan remembered that Jiawen's inhuman combat power was envious, and later heard that Fiona was also a figure who took on a thousand troops, so he was itching at the moment, and couldn't wait to ask.
Hearing Alan's words, Fiona's hand trembling slightly. Pretending to be expressionless, he said, "Why do you remember to call me Nana again."
Alan touched his head and sneered, "Uh, I just suddenly feel like I haven't called you that for a long time."
Fiona sighed inwardly, tied the bandage on Alan's chest, tied a bow, and said, "Yes, it's been a long time." Fiona paused, then said, "Have you forgotten? Isn't that what you told me?"
"Huh? What I told you? What did I tell you?" Alan asked in surprise, did he say anything? Why don't you remember?
Fiona seemed to fall into a memory, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she said: "At that time, I started to learn swordsmanship, but swordsmanship is not so easy to learn, especially for a girl. It was you who told me not to simply exercise the body, but also to feel this nature. You say that this world is a magical world, full of all kinds of mysterious and secret powers, and if you can find them and use them, you can exert great power. Later, I deliberately asked my teacher, Master Leo from the Elven Kingdom, to learn to perceive nature, and then I learned to use the power of nature. ”
Alan touched his chin and thought, listening to Fiona's words, he used to play the role of an old grandfather, but if I were an old grandfather, then I shouldn't be a weak chicken. Alan pinched the muscles in his hands, well, strong, elastic. But no matter how powerful he is, he's just an ordinary human being! Bastard. Thinking that he was knocked away by Gawen's spear, Allen felt unhappy for a while.
"Then how could I not be as good as you?" Alan looked at Fiona with a look of jealousy.
Fiona was also surprised and replied, "I'm also strange. Ever since I came back from my practice, you have lost your strength and become estranged from me. Did anything happen to you?"
Alan frowned and thought about it carefully, but the memories between them were silent, and he always felt that something had happened, but he couldn't remember it. Alas, forget it, go back and ask Lao Sai. He's been in the Ouranos house for decades, and he should know more than I do.
Just then, a maid came and reported: "Lord Duke, Charles II has sent for you to attend the meeting."
Alan nodded to indicate that he understood. It is also time, since neither side intends to continue fighting, then a negotiated truce is also inevitable. But what Alan is curious about is, who opened this mouth first?
Allen's doubts were solved very openly.
A clergyman dressed in a black clerical robe walked in from outside the basilica and stood in front of everyone. Bending over with hands crossed in front of the chest in a standard Light Cult etiquette. When everything was done, he said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Duke Lawrence, Duke Bashir, and Duke Ouranos. In Lower Joseph Luther, at the behest of Archbishop Wesley, came to visit. It is hoped that the Kingdom of Ammuxi will end the war with the Moslian Empire. Don't let the people of the Light shed any more blood. ”
Usually the hierarchy of church clothing is distinguished by color, and the lowest congregants can only wear gray robes. The bishop of the district can wear a black robe, and the priest of the local church is of the same rank as the bishop. One level higher to the papal see, the cardinals, as the name suggests, wear red, and finally the pope wears white and gold robes.
Charles II just wanted to speak, but suddenly took out a handkerchief from his arms, coughed fiercely a few times, then put away the handkerchief, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Is that bastard Paul willing to surrender?" If you don't want to, stop fighting!"
Luther said: "Your Majesty, the war has been going on for several months now, and if it is Ammuxi or Moslian, if it continues to fight, it will only be a defeat for both sides. Now that you have occupied Lower Lorraine, you might as well take it as you see it. ”
Charles II tried to speak, but was sometimes interrupted by a cough. After calming down his breathing, Charles II seemed to have aged a lot. Charles II shook his head and said a little weakly: "You can talk about this matter first." After speaking, he walked into the inner hall with the support of the attendants beside him.
Looking at Charles II, it looks like he's not lightly injured. Alan frowned lightly and glanced at Duke Bashir.
At this time, Duke Bashir was no longer the duke who dominated the side. It seems that he has aged ten years overnight, and his original black hair is almost half-white. It seems that Bashir put a lot of effort into this battle, but he didn't expect to be defeated all of a sudden, and he is probably exhausted. Bashir stood there with weak eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
Alan sighed and turned his gaze to Duke Lawrence. I saw Duke Lawrence smile and say to Allen: "My dear Ellen, your performance is really beyond my expectations. I'm very satisfied with you, and I, an old man, won't interfere in this peace talks. ”
Alan immediately said: "How can he get such praise from Uncle Lawrence, but he is just doing his part. The matter of peace talks is very important, and it needs to be led by an experienced person like you, uncle. ”
Duke Lawrence shook his head and said, "My dear Alan, you are too modest. What you're doing now is far beyond my expectations. I believe in your abilities. As long as you are given space, you will definitely be able to do better, and our old guy will not trouble you. ”
Lawrence's idea was simple, Allen's Ouranos family and Lawrence's family had always been friendly and close. At the same time, the relationship between her daughter Fiona and Alan is also good, so Alan will definitely not let herself suffer in this peace talk. At the same time, Allen is the biggest contributor to the war, and with his strength, even if Lawrence and Bashir are combined, they are only five or five. In this case, you might as well be a favor.
After Lawrence finished speaking, without waiting for Allen to answer, Duke Bashir sighed heavily and said, "Lawrence is right, you did a good job." If it weren't for you, we might have been driven back to Ambrosi. I'm not going to get in your way here. After speaking, he walked out of the hall step by step.
Duke Lawrence didn't stay long, nodded to Allen, and left.
There were only two people left in the main hall, Luther and Allen. However, Alan did not speak, but looked at the hall idly.
Luther looked at the young duke. I heard that this was the man who defeated the eldest prince Gavin, and then forced King Paul to retreat. originally thought that Eren was a majestic and majestic hero, but it turned out to be just a young boy in a strange costume. The Kingdom of Ammuxi actually let such a person negotiate with me, didn't they plan to negotiate peace in the first place? But this is not what the archbishop predicted.
Luther thought about it and fell into thinking like this, Alan originally wanted to wait for Luther to speak first, so as to grasp the initiative in the negotiation, but he didn't expect Luther to be inexplicably distracted. Is this guy a natural stay? Or did he think I could deal with it casually?
Thinking of this, Alan is not interested in playing, and now he and the church can be said to be in a relationship of mutual use, but the church actually filmed a person who didn't understand the situation to negotiate with him, which was a humiliation for Allen. In fact, humiliation is secondary, if Alan wants to do something to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger and agree to negotiate with Luther, it is tantamount to admitting that he will be inferior to the church. It will seriously affect the initiative of follow-up cooperation in the future, and Allen will absolutely not tolerate this.
Looking at Luther, who didn't know what he was thinking, Alan didn't want to say hello and walked directly past him.
Luther was awakened by Allen's movements, and hurriedly said, "Lord Ouranos, don't you continue to negotiate?"
Alan said without looking back: "Get out!"
Hearing Allen's rude answer, Luther couldn't help but say angrily: "Is this how the Duke of Ouranos treats the church?" Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the church!"
Alan didn't bother to talk to Luther, jumped on his horse, and left the palace of Charles II. Luther was left alone to jump there.
"Is it really okay for you to do this? How can you say that people are also bishops, you are so faceless, what if the church holds a grudge against you?" Fiona said worriedly.
"Now it's the church begging me, so naturally I have to get them right!" Alan picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, instantly wrinkled his face and stuck out his tongue, and said, "What kind of coffee is this, why is it so bitter!"
Fiona said helplessly: "I didn't put sugar!" You can't just look at it and drink it, what to meditate with your eyes closed all day is useful!"
Alan opened his eyes helplessly and said, "Then what should I do, didn't I say that I want to understand nature?" How can you perceive nature without meditation? People also want to drive the Peerless Warrior to kill all directions!!"
