Chapter Eighty-Three: The Legacy of the Chosen
Cecil and his party of four returned to Solo City, the count was very surprised to see that there were only four people who came back, and he was also very sad after listening to Cecil's report on the whole situation, Baron Curesta was one of the earl's earliest subordinates like Cecil's father, and he was also the most capable of this group of people, although he was promoted to baron because of his outstanding military achievements, the earl's contribution in the back was actually the most important reason. The www.biquge.infoEarl was obviously sad that he had died like this, and he had been hanging there for a long time.
After a few words of condolence, the earl sent Cecil and Anne to Talis City to replace Talis, Talis needed to deal with the aftermath for the baron, this time all the baron's troops were killed, which was also a major loss for the territory, and Talis was not eligible to inherit the territory as a woman, according to the kingdom's decree, after the death of the baron, he needed to find a male heir who was related by blood to inherit the territory, and if he couldn't find the territory, the kingdom would take it back, of course the count didn't want the latter thing to happen, Therefore, it is estimated that they will also seriously look for the collateral male descendants of Baron Kuresta.
Before leaving, Cecil handed the seriously injured Sanders to the care of the old man Bosa, and Sanders's injury may have made him basically lose the ability to fight again in this war, and he must recuperate quietly. The last time Cecil went to Trith City, he bought Bosa a lot of books on basic alchemy knowledge, and also bought him a lot of formulas for basic medicines, which he also gave to Master Bosa this time.
The basic drug formula of alchemy is just like the big life potion formula of Cecil back then, it is not valuable, Bosa is a master alchemy, learning these basic formulas can basically be comprehended in an instant, Cecil decided to open an alchemy room after he has a territory in the future, and let Bosa go to refine the potion for himself, of course, this is a later story, he doesn't even have a territory now, only a manor, but it is always right to plan ahead of everything, not to mention that he happened to get such an alchemy master.
After everything was taken care of, Cecil Anne and her teacher Collins went on the road back to Triss City, and on the way, Cecil kept wanting to talk to Collins about the matter he had been worried about: "Teacher, I heard that the Grand Priest Alonso said that you were promoted to the Holy Rank, but he said that you failed, I don't know what this means?" ”
Collins smiled bitterly, spread his hands helplessly, and said: "The Grand Priest really said everything, well, this matter should not be hidden from you, the failure of what the Great Priest said is because I failed to inherit the inheritance of Lord Lantellos." ”
Sure enough, it was Lanteros!! Cecil actually thought in his heart that the teacher might have something to do with this inheritance, but he didn't expect that the teacher was also the inheritor.
"What does the teacher mean by inheritance?" Cecil asked eagerly.
Collins waved his hand: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, maybe you've heard Grand Priest Alonso say the secret about this adult's death?" “
"Yes," Cecil said, "the High Priest and I have vaguely spoken about it, and the High Priest guesses that this legendary Knight of Destiny was killed by the Illuk Empire. ”
"It's not speculation, it's true." Collins said with a serious and determined expression.
"Why? Isn't that paladin the pride of the Elok Empire in his own right? Is it just because Lanteros, who is a Knight of Destiny, is not a royal family of the Elok Empire? That's a far-fetched reason. Cecil exclaimed.
"It does seem far-fetched to ordinary people, but you must know that since the fall of the Iron Flow Empire, the Elok Empire has been the most powerful empire in the world, and after the Temple of War, Lord Lansendel has made the Temple of Dawn the strongest temple in the continent with the sacredness of his faith. And the Chosen One, who is born a hundred times stronger than ordinary people, was almost all born in this royal family, and these powerhouses without exception have chosen the Dawn Temple as their own professional temple. Collins spoke, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Cecil was a little confused: "Teacher, what is the sanctity of faith?" Why was he able to make the Temple of Dawn the most powerful? ”
Collins smiled and said: "It is to emphasize order, to emphasize the divine authority of kings, to say something unpleasant, it is just to be more foolish to the people."
When Cecil heard this, he immediately understood, and the teacher's words meant that the Temple of Dawn could be more foolish. The development of this Temple of Dawn and a certain religion in history is actually the same truth, and the Lovalan Continent is also based on something to put it bluntly, and the Temple of Dawn is actually a highly restored process of how a certain monotheistic religion became the only religion on that continent.
Compared with Kratos's rudimentary method of constantly investing resources in the human world to get more believers, the method of the god of dawn is obviously more clever, he not only satisfies the most basic needs of the bottom for the afterlife, but also satisfies the requirements of the royal family for stable order, so that people trust the temple of dawn more than other temples, and the means can really be described as a masterpiece.
Of course, Cecil only dared to complain in his heart, even the teacher Cecil would never dare to say this, he absolutely believed in the teacher's belief in the Lord of the Dawn, if he dared to say such a big rebellion, he would probably be the first to be killed as a blasphemer, he didn't want to touch this mold.
"Since the Chosen are all in the royal family, what is the matter with Lord Lantellos?" Cecil picked up the topic from earlier.
"This is the strangest part, after the death of the last Chosen One, the God of Dawn did not bless any royal person, but blessed an ordinary person, at the beginning, the royal family still had illusions, wanting to see if this Lantellos was the illegitimate child accidentally left by a certain merry ghost in the royal family, but they were disappointed, Lantellos is indeed 100% ordinary blood." Collins' eyebrows fluttered when he talked about it, and the royal family of Elouk looked very happy.
"Even so, there is no need to kill Lantellos, he is the pride of the Elok Empire after all." Cecil said
"Lantellos is indeed the pride of the Eruk Empire, but he is not the pride of the Eruk royal family, Lantellos stood up in the battle against the Orc Empire that year, and took the head of the Orc Emperor Gelqin with the body of a young knight, and became the hero of Eruk, but he has always refused to integrate into the system of the Empire, he has refused all the glory and status given by the Empire, even if the Empire has tried so hard to win him over, the position of power is nothing, Princess Acorina, the first beauty at the time, did not let him change his mind in the slightest. ”
