Theodoro Van Gruss, the first prime minister of the Holy Springs Dynasty in Auckland, a close comrade-in-arms of Emperor Knoeus the Great, was born in the famous Mengrus family of the former dynasty, and was also called the "Prime Minister in Purple", anyway, it is recorded in the official history.

One of his half-elves - note that the so-called half-elf is not said to be half-blooded elves, but that his ancestors have elven blood - life expectancy far exceeds that of humans, and at the same time has an inhuman handsomeness, it is said that he is a strange man with a bewitching appearance but a strong heart, probably a low-profile version of someone. Anyway, it's still recorded in the official history.

He was a master of internal affairs, and after ten years as prime minister, he quickly restored order to the province of Sereditir, which was the direct head of the royal family at that time, and the foundation of all the Auckland supremes of all dynasties, so that the people could quickly resume production and live and work in peace and contentment. At the same time, he should still be a master of the establishment. During his tenure, the Privy Council and the Chancellor were quickly established to be accountable only to the Imperial Power and to control all military and interior departments. At the same time, a strict system of "Knights of the Pilgrimage" and "Black Stream Army" was established to patrol the territory and supervise and control all the princes. This was how the political system of the Shengquan Imperial Palace, which was based on the combination of a centralized provincial system and the feudal system of local lords, was established. It can be said that with this alone, the dominance and mobilization power of the Holy Spring royal family over the entire Auckland far exceeded that of the Griffin and Yanlong dynasties of the previous dynasty.

Of course, according to some kind of middle two words, this is still a man who is willing to carry the darkness and shadow for the Lord. To put it bluntly, this is a Machiavellianist through and through, and he is loyal, willing not only to do the wet and dirty work for the monarch, but also to carry the black pot for him.

In addition, the man's personal morality can be regarded as almost spotless, and there are only a few servants in the house, and his life is very simple. The purple robe he likes to wear on formal occasions is probably his only luxury. He didn't seem to care too much about the accumulation of wealth and the promotion of his title, although he only got a non-hereditary barony, he didn't even complain.

Of course, since this guy has done a lot of dirty work, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the veteran generals in the army, and the powerful factions of various localities are all eager to eat his flesh and bones, so there is no problem of bad intentions in selling his reputation and reputation.

Such a courtier, but any king with a little IQ, except for Kang Mazi, who is always playing around, will like it very much. And in the official history, this guy is indeed very valued by Emperor Knoeus, although the title is indeed not high, but the authority in the court is only under the two (the Great and Empress Elena).

He was a half-elf, and according to his natural lifespan, he should have only been about forty years old for humans at that time, and it stands to reason that he could serve the Holy Spring Dynasty in Auckland for a hundred years - such examples are not few, and the founding hero of the Holy Spring Dynasty with the longest standby time was a dragonborn warrior named Balesa, who served the Imperial Army for more than 200 years and went through eleven emperors. The so-called "N Dynasty Elders" are really not very rare people in this world where immortal species exist.

However, ten years after the accession to the throne of Knous the Great, he lay on his desk in his office and died without a hitch, and before his death he was said to be still reviewing the autumn harvest report of that year.

However, this method of death seems to be too textbook, so there are many gossip rumors that this model was actually assassinated by political enemies. It is even more exaggerated to say that because the purple-clothed prime minister made great contributions to the country and threatened the authority of Emperor Knoeus, he was hidden by crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Karin had always felt that the above statement was actually quite stupid. It's not that she is very confident in the character of her ancestors, but because she is very confident in the strength, prestige and intelligence of her ancestors. The dignified leader of the Dawn Alliance, the legendary hero who saved the world, is of course unsurpassed in the righteousness of winning the country, how can there be a founding hero whose merits will shock him as the master? What's more, the secret police leader who has offended a large number of people by setting up factory guards to monitor the ministers? Wouldn't it be beautiful to keep him, give him higher prestige and authority, let him continue to do his best, let him continue to tear apart with the hundred officials and princes, and the emperor will sit on the throne to reconcile the contradictions and be a good person?

However, according to Hurricane, there is another story in this? And the demonic aura is so big that it is about to soar into the sky...... Is that what it means?

"Wait, you let me figure it out. According to you, the crown, that is, Xiao Luxi's adoptive mother or something, is actually a big villain? Karin cupped her forehead and looked at her son, who had fallen asleep in the middle of the bed, unsure if she should suck him to calm down.

"So, because of what happened more than a thousand years ago, she wants to do something big?" She groaned for a while, looked at the wind and immediately showed a rather sad expression, and said cautiously: "That, although due to the relationship with Xiao Lu Xi, we will have to have a serious battle with that crown sooner or later, but this is definitely not the reason why you are so dark about her." What you're talking about, if you don't have evidence, it's hard to talk nonsense. No matter how they are, they are Queen Norda, the highest priestess of the goddess of life. ”

"Well, you're right, I guessed most of it. I really don't have any evidence at all. Tempest nodded calmly.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"However, the purple-clothed prime minister is indeed a, and he has an almost infatuated affection for your ancestors. As I said, this is what the person concerned can feel, and the other party also admits it. "Wind Channel.

Although Miss Firatir of the "Void Night Mentor" is not a rotten girl, she is still quite sensitive in this kind of thing. She did notice something unnatural about Theodoro, so she simply asked directly in private. And to her surprise, this guy who has been wearing a gloomy face for many years, as if living in the shadows, actually admitted it very calmly.

"It's not something to be seen for. I have nothing to say about my feelings. The sages of the mythological era once said that the opposite sex is a last resort for the purpose of reproduction, and true love only exists between people of the same sex. I think this is excellent, and it is also the natural choice of the great and supreme will to create. "He said so.

This guy said so calmly that Firatil couldn't help but feel a little respectful and moved for the other party, and then he still felt that it was too dangerous for such an abnormal guy to stay in the group, so he was ready to destroy it, stuffed the body into the stone, and then found a place to sink in the lake. Anyway, Firatil has never been a particularly reasonable good man, otherwise how could he have left only a vest in the history books.

However, before the other party could speak, he suddenly said: "But don't worry, I love him, and I have nothing to do with the rest of the people, including myself." He indulged in ignorance and mediocre heterosexuality, but I didn't have to correct the other person's need, let alone ask the other person to accept my heart. He is fully worthy of my faithful service, both as a man and as an instrument of the Lord, and that is enough. ”

This guy is telling the truth. Firatil was able to determine this from the look in the other man's eyes. Although this type of guy has the potential for snake spirit disease, his ability as a affairs officer is indeed top-notch, and when he joined the Tiebra Brotherhood, he completely straightened out the personnel and financial structure of the team, and indeed made Knous, who was in charge of this part, "Dragon's Heart Joy".

He does have feelings for Knous that are not very acceptable to ordinary people, but since they have frankly admitted it, the argument of "improper attempt" cannot be established. What's more, he has never expressed more than a request to Kenoeus beyond the relationship between comrades-in-arms, and it is really hard to say whether "affection" is counted, but there is nothing wrong with "stopping politeness".

As a result, the future purple-clad prime minister became an important member of the Tiebra Brotherhood, and was regarded by Parn and Knous as one of the most important friends.

“…… Well, so, that just means that guy is a? Well, that probably explains how strange Emperor Knous was with him. But what does this have to do with Tidlet's crown and the Knight of the Dawn Parn? Karin asked.

"When the Brotherhood of Tibra was officially expanded into the Knights of the Dawn, Knous left Valanburg for a while and returned to his hometown to inherit the title of Marquis of Dimahia, right?"

"Well, because of the civil war, the Marquis di Marcia's family at that time was almost wiped out. Although the emperor is the second son, the reason why he left home back then was because he didn't want to embarrass his father and brother, but now, only he has the right to inherit. ”

"Yes, but when Knous the Great returned home, Pahn sent five hundred elite soldiers of the Order to support his friend. At that time, the Emperor, who was only the deputy commander, only raised the banner of the Knights of the Dawn and his own name, and everywhere he went, he was admired by everyone, but in just three days, the number of volunteers who had gathered and were willing to fight with the Knights of Dawn exceeded tens of thousands. As a result, Knous easily restored order in his hometown and avenged his father and brother. It was only then that he realized that before he knew it, the Knights of the Dawn, which he and Pahn had founded, already had such appeal. ”

"Well, then came the famous Battle of the Cornmore Valley. Emperor Knous the Great led 500 Knights and 30,000 untrained and untrained volunteers to break the 100,000 army of three 'kings' and six dukes, and established the first base belonging to the Holy Spring Dynasty in the troubled Auckland Empire. ”

Tempest glanced at Karin, "But the problem is that at that time, Emperor Knous called himself the Archon of the Commore region as the Marquis of Dimahia, and this was the establishment of a stable and just ruling body. However, when he recruited troops, he was under the banner of the Knights of the Dawn. Then the question arises, does this Conmore belong to the Knights of the Dawn or to the Marquis di Marcia? Who the hell is the boss of the two of them, Pahn? Or Knous? ”

“…… In this, the purple-clothed prime minister should have played a less glorious role, right? ”

"He had all the noble lords of the Cornmore region who submitted to write an oath, but they were all loyal to Knous personally."

"Tsk...... This is a typical act of a clever villain, and if Parn's mind were a little smaller, it would only divide the Dawn Knights. ”

"However, Pahn is actually the kind of person who is so open-minded that the hopelessly evil party can't bear to lie to him!" Blast sighed. In fact, Firatir's original words are "no heart and no lungs are natural". When Theodoro did this, both Firatir and Tidlet were very angry, but Parn himself said, "Well, I'm not a nobleman, and if they could really swear allegiance to me, they wouldn't be convinced, would they?" We have a lot more important things to do, but we don't have the time to spend on them. As long as they are willing to contribute, is it a matter of importance whether the object of allegiance is me or Knous? ”

After that, Knous's approach was more direct, calling the group of nobles who had played small actions, as well as Theodoro, who instructed them to make small movements, and then, in front of all the important friends of the Knights of the Dawn, took out all the oaths and burned them directly.

"I thought I would have thrown them in their faces one by one, and then let you eat them all. However, Elena persuaded me that humiliating these decent lords would not show my prestige. Humiliating you, a loyal old comrade-in-arms, will also chill everyone's hearts. So, this time I won't take it as an example! Remember my relationship with Pahn, and find out who I am, first of all, Parn's friend, the deputy head of the Knights of the Dawn, and among them is this Marquis of Rauszidi Marchia! I don't need you to pretend to be a formality and send any letter of allegiance, but I ask that you obey the laws of the Order at Cornmore, and provide honest servitude and taxes. Otherwise......"

At that time, he was not yet an emperor. At that time, he was just a marquis who had just turned thirty, and a most ordinary prince of Auckland. However, when his gaze swept over the audience, the nobles were crawling on the ground and trembling, even if they could not even raise their heads at the very least.

Such an episode, which was likely to cause Parn and Knous to part ways, was resolved by the joint efforts of the two of them. To put it bluntly, one is a perfect knight with a broad heart and no lungs or even a little darkness, and the other is a natural king who is so proud and awe-inspiring that he doesn't disdain these indiscriminate tricks at all, and they all fought side by side from the most dangerous battlefields to have the current foundation, and they won't be provoked by this kind of vulgarity at all, right?

And so it is. Even Firatir at that time didn't feel that there would be any mustard between the two. As a marquis, Knous would still sit side by side with Parn, scolding each other, bottle each other's bottles, and finally pour them in cheap taverns, even if they were broken, they would hug each other. They will also give their backs to each other without reservation, fight side by side, win one victory after another, and become the brightest light of dawn in that chaotic and dark era.

No one could have imagined that the foreshadowing of the split of the Knights of the Dawn would have been left at that time.

Actually, looking back now, it was only a matter of time before it split. After Knous inherited his own title, he was surrounded by a group of nobles and crowned Duke of Commore, and the Knights of the Dawn continued to expand, with many noble children from high families joining. At some point, the structure of the team is no longer simple. That's what Firatil said.

Then, thirty-five years before the Dawn Era, the Knights of the Dawn officially split into the Knights of the Dawn, as well as the Knights of Saint Laurent. Yes, it is the Knights of Saint Laurent who is now the "Knight of Saint Laurent" of the Holy Springs Royal.
