Chapter 59 The world is like chess, unpredictable
The selection competition is still going on intensely, but it doesn't have much to do with Carlos. The coming-of-age debut was almost perfect, and while many of the Grand Knights of the Alterac Knights thought they could do it, no one thought they could do it at Carlos' age.
The idea that God had bestowed a treasure on Alterac had gradually spread under Alex's behind-the-scenes efforts.
There are still two rounds of auditions for the 150-member Knight Reserve roster, which is two to three days according to the schedule, and before the canonization ceremony, the Knights of the Alterac King must decide Carlos' status within the Order.
Previously, as a product of a political compromise, Grand Master Aiden granted the position of Knight Captain of the Knights of Carlos. However, it is important to note that the Knight Commander is not an official position. The supreme leader of the Order is naturally Grand Master His Majesty King Aiden, and the Knights of the Alterac King currently have no deputy leader. Below the Grand Master are twelve Grand Knights, who are responsible for the day-to-day management and training of the Knights, who killed one in last year's Hinterland Troll War, and there are currently dozens of them. And the chief knight is an informal position common within the knights of various kingdoms, that is, the so-called knight does not have a long, no fart sounds, the knight has a long, or that bird. Aiden's majesty was a little pit Alex at that time, look, your son is a knight, satisfied. However, it is useless, the chief knight is not an official position, Carlos is currently a member of the Knights, but he is neither a knight nor a manager, and his position is embarrassing to death from a legal point of view.
Every day after the selection competition, a group of veteran knights and grand knights would get together and quarrel until the middle of the night, arguing about what Carlos should say in the Knights.
You have to resist with the fact that Carlos is not officially entitled, a proper baron, the current first in line to the throne of the kingdom, except for King Aiden and his father Alex. Grand Duke Barov, who is entitled to give him a canonization ceremony. Moreover, as a powerful baron, Carlos went to Stratholme Cathedral to find Alonsos. Bishop Fao donated a guardian knight's pardon, who dared to deny it in the Lordaeron countries. This one doesn't make sense.
You have to resist Carlos's lack of prestige, a troll war can silence the naysayers. Although His Majesty King Aiden deliberately suppressed the spread of Carlos's influence within the Alterac Kingdom, there were other people in the coalition, and the allies of Riptide Castle and Tirculas took the benefits of Carlos, and it was also appropriate to use their mouths to help the owner brag about it. And within the Knights, the members who followed Carlos several times from birth to death can't listen to the words that slander Carlos, do you also have opinions about us when you personally attack our leading knights? This one doesn't make sense either.
You have to resist Carlos because he is too young, he has only held a coming-of-age ceremony before, and he is already an adult in legal terms. Coupled with Carlos's unusually tall body, in addition to his delicate face, how can he see the slightest immaturity. This one decisively doesn't make sense.
You have to use Carlos's poor martial arts as an excuse to resist it, single out the Snowman King, the troll war is all kinds of charges, you dare to say this for fear of being beaten. This one can be ignored.
Anyway, I'm the king's man, I have no reason, I'm just against it. How could such a reason be spoken.
After several days of squabbling, the final round of the knightly selection contest has ushered in, and in the space of the next day, three hundred and twelve winners will fight each other, and one hundred and fifty-six winners will receive the official documents of the knightly reserve.
What to do, once the winner is decided, whether Carlos should accompany Grand Master Aiden to canonize in the name of the deputy head of the regiment is so difficult.
"Otherwise, let's determine the status of Baron Carlos as the Grand Knight first, anyway, the Knights have not had a deputy head for so many years, so let's wait for His Majesty the King to decide for himself." There are proposals for compromise to be proposed.
His Majesty the King just didn't want to come forward by himself, so he let the knights come up with a unified opinion first, and you are afraid that you will be liquidated afterwards if you push the problem to your superiors. However, the first half of the construction is still very valuable for reference, many people within the Knights are staring at the vacant position of the big knight, if Carlos dares to take this hot potato, he will offend many people in plain terms, and the continuous promotion will also attract criticism, and the royal faction in the Knights agrees.
Ma Dan, it doesn't matter if you drop a deputy head of the regiment, anyway, there is a big head at the top, if there is no big head to speak, we will listen to your deputy head of the group, the big head has an order to listen to the head of the group, and we will just take a look at your upper-level political struggle. Is there a deputy head and the knights themselves have little to do with each other, there is an extra big knight, or a big knight with a deep background, how to stand in line next? The neutrals in the Order were not happy.
It seems to be okay, as long as we have our support, Baron Carlos is the first powerful knight, and the Barov family has its own affairs, and His Excellency the Baron cannot be resident in the Knights, and the life of the leader's absence is better! The guy who received the benefits of the Barov family and the guy who has a fast brain think this building yƬ is very good.
So the opinion was reported to His Majesty the King, and Aiden wrote down two words: read.
I have read it, what a connotative two words, translated with advanced diplomatic rhetorical skills, it is: Well, I know, you can look at it.
Ha, Grand Master of the King is unwilling to take the blame, so what should I do? Without your direct nomination, big brother, you have to go through the procedure. So Carlos was called to the scene, and all the knights recommended with their real names, if they can't support more than two-thirds of them, then as long as more than one-tenth of the people are nominated, they will be eligible for the alternateship, and then according to the old rules, let's fight, and the final winner is the new big knight.
As a result, Carlos received just over half of the nominations, and two other prestigious knights of the Order were also nominated by more than a tenth.
it! Aiden was a little dumbfounded by this result, and Alex's side relented, what are you guys making trouble about? There was no way, and after negotiating a compromise with the two Barov father and son again, the king announced to all the audience that after the selection meeting, there would be an open competition of great knights.
The audience who watched the excitement was happy, and the competition system arrangers were worried.
Isn't it good for you to choose one more person, three people, how to arrange the competition system, two rounds per person? It's unfair to the side that competes first, and there is a bye, and I don't know if the three masters will do it. In the end, the puzzle was pushed back to Aiden's majesty.
If you want to be fair and just, then let's mess up, Aiden's majesty thought about it, and decided happily.
In the middle of the night when King Aiden made his decision, the Stormwind refuge fleet, which had finished resupplying in the port of Minethir, set off again.
Hundreds of years later, the last direct lineage of Emperor Soladin will once again set foot in the land of ancestral glory.
Anduin. After telling Varian her bedtime story, Lothar leaned back on the cabin partition and quietly pondered the path back to her country.
