"It seems to me that the seeds of the revolution in the Far East began to germinate more than ten years ago on the day Rudolph Kolas formed the militia regiment......" Corofa paused, carefully avoiding the inside story of the Zion family's covert funding Rudolph's expansion of power, and briefly summarized the growth of the Kolas legion, "I want to focus on not how ambitious Rudolph Koras is, his history has been written enough, you know what I am most dissatisfied with?" Palatina is the newspaper that does not mention Roland Kolas, Rudolph's son. ”

"Roland Koras...... Palatina pondered with one hand on her cheek, "I seem to have heard my father mention this man's name once, not long ago the commander of the Far Eastern Knights, Major General Klauz Strauss, wrote to the military headquarters to ask for troops to suppress Rudolph's rebellion, Roland Kolas seems to be an important role in the rebel party. ”

"In fact, this young man played an even no less important role in the revolution in the Far East than his father, have you heard of the Sindra Church in the Far East?"

"I have heard that it is said to be an underground church that worships the goddess of fate, and there are many secret believers in the local area."

"The Sindra cultists are the main force of the revolution in the Far East, and the Kolas legion is almost entirely made up of followers of the goddess of fate from top to bottom, and the revolution in the Far East would not have been able to make such a big splash without the Sindra Church rallying those in the Far East who are dissatisfied with the status quo."

"What does all this have to do with Roland Kolas?" Palatina raised her beautiful eyebrows, curiosity in her eyes.

"Roland Kallas is only 20 years old, younger than you and me, but he is almost unknown in the Far East, and his prestige is not inferior to that of his father, not only because he is the son of Rudolph, but also because he has the title of 'Chosen Voter of Sindra', and in my opinion the greatest thing about this young man is his two extraordinary talents."

"Oh? I guess he must be a military genius who uses his soldiers like a god! Palatina's blue eyes sparkled, but Coropha's sneer turned her from excitement to astonishment.

"It's unknown if Roland Kolas is a military genius, but I'm pretty sure he's a genius in diplomacy and finance, and in just two years, this guy has brought several major powers around the Far Eastern Province into his camp, including the Harvest Ring, Icewind Dale, Kitland, North Sea Federation, Parnia, and the Beacon Mountain Wizards' Guild, so that he can build a strong and strong alliance to provide the Kolath Legion with comprehensive support from food, equipment, and military spending, With this strong backing, Rudolph's forces were able to grow rapidly, first eliminating the orc warlords in the south, then going north to the Lucia Plateau to defeat the Dragon's Eye, and then taking advantage of the Far Easterners' resistance to tithes to return to the Fort of Atonement, annihilating the Klautz Knights and seizing power in one fell swoop. ”

"These experiences do reflect this man's prowess in the diplomatic field, but I suspect it is mainly due to his status as an electorate, and all the powerful people always want to give a little face to the powerful electorate," Palatina smiled slightly, "just as our Highness Frank has had to show the sign of the Pero electorate in order to carry out reforms, and sometimes this is more useful than being a crown prince." ”

Colossa did not argue with her, and continued: "Even if Roland Colas relied on his status as a voter to win over all kinds of forces, he could not rely on his status as a voter to make real money, and this man also has a specialty that amazes me is to make money, according to the information I have gathered, he did not have much opportunity to show this talent when he was in the Fort of Atonement, and it was not until he arrived in Kitland City a year ago that he was given a stage to show his strengths......"

Palatina listened to Coroda's story of Roland Kolas helping the Kitland Lords and his wife issue short-term construction bonds, successfully running jousting tournaments and making a lot of profits, and later helping the local lords deal with the panic caused by the pirate blockade in Baigull Harbor, using clever means to get the Yangbo family through financial difficulties, and also making a lot of money by shorting first and then longing securities at the local trade fair.

"Listening to what you say, this young man from the Far East is indeed a rare talent for governing the country, but unfortunately he is the son of the leader of the rebel party and the leader of the heretical order, the more talented a person like him is, the greater the harm to the country, if the high-level reaches a resolution to send troops to the Far East to suppress the rebellion, I will apply to participate in the Eastern Crusade and solve this scourge with my own hands." Palatina's words were murderous, and her beautiful face was calm and confident.

Grofer was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled strangely.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm thinking...... If you see that person, you may not be able to afford to kill him. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Legend has it that Roland Khoras was the most beautiful man in the Far East, and there were no women who saw him who were not fascinated."

"Hah! Then I'm going to see with my own eyes what that guy really looks like, and see who is more attractive compared to the most beautiful man in Canaan. Palatina laughed and joked to Grofa, her charming blue eyes looking unusually bright.

Luxury carriages run along the city's spacious and clean White Rock Street, and the coachman does not need to bother to find his way, and the lavish building at the end of the White Rock Street is the destination of the visit, the "Puai Palace".

Newcomers to the Holy City may mistake this ornate building with its golden roof and jade-white walls for the residence of some royal family, but a glance at the sun statue in the center of a circle of magic fountains in front of the mansion will reveal that it is actually a religious building, but it is hard for outsiders to imagine that the temple in the name of "Universal Love" is actually the headquarters of the Imperial Inquisition.

For a long time, the term "Inquisition" was associated with the burning at the stake of heresy, which made people shudder, but this impression did not fully correspond to reality. Indeed, the Imperial Curia had a long-term policy of "zero tolerance for heresy", burning at the stake all over the continent in the two years when religious terror was at its worst, burning an average of thousands of people to death every day, some barbarian villages that worshiped primitive gods were surrounded by the Holy Light Inquisitors and burned to ruins, men, women and children were not spared, and many pagans in many places migrated their families to areas with relatively relaxed religious policies in order to escape persecution, such as the multi-ethnic Grand Duchy of Baoshiwa, and the Marquis of Feizhen across the Crystal Strait, all of which were areas where religious immigrants flowed in large numbers. This phenomenon was very common at the time, and as a direct consequence of the severe depopulation of many parts of the empire, the abandoned towns and villages were quickly deserted, and large tracts of fertile land were turned back into overgrown wastelands.
