Act 267 Templar Shift (Part I)
It was not easy, and Brando knew that this meeting of nobles was not so much a peace negotiation as a last resort for the two sides to fight for bargaining chips, and the participants were all at the pinnacle of Eruin's power
The six dukes of Anlek, Sifahe, Corcova, Viero, Karasu, and Goran Elsen, the two marquises, the lord of the Sword Castle, the captain of the White Lion Legion, the Marquis of Balta, the king's cousin, the Marquis of Youxi, and the five privileged counts, plus the two chief priests of the temple and the leaders of the many merchant groups of Ampesel, if you want to blend in with these people, it is difficult to succeed without the skill of the heavens.
Fortunately, this was not a temporary event, and the nobles had to wait until next week to start a new round of negotiations, so Brando had time. He entrusted this matter to Sue, because he had more important things to do, and after settling the young men of the White Lion Legion, he took Antitina and Akane with him in a light car, and rented a carriage and headed straight for the inner city.
The carriage ends at the Great Basilica of Under-Vourle, built in 227 A.D., more than 100 years ago, and built by the city's merchants and completed by the master architect Rognon, and is Ampesel's most famous artistic treasure. The whole hall is oval-shaped, with countless pillars extending from the side walls, and the pointed arch-like gate in the front symbolizes the majesty and supremacy of the divine power.
The square in front of the temple was closed to horse-drawn carriages, and when Antitina and Akane stepped out of the carriage, they couldn't help but be speechless when they saw this majestic temple, and anyone who came from the south, known to the natives of Ampesel as a hillbilly, was not stunned when they saw this temple, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner. This is the only place where Eruin can be converted to a Templar, and the Templar of Eruin's Flame Temple has two knightly ranks, the Templar is a title that gives the privilege of those who cross the wall of elements, and the Templar is a true class.
Earlier, the Templars were monks of the Templars, but later they were also open to the children of the nobility, and the player needed to meet two conditions to advance to this class, one was to be of an innocent background, and the other was to be full of reverence for the Golden Fire, the spiritual symbol of the King of Fire, the latter was simple, as long as the religious knowledge reached the old level, while the former was a little more troublesome and needed to get a letter of introduction from the leading figure in the nobility.
The letter in Brando's hand was sent in the name of Eruin's academic master Tulaman, and after the battle of the wolf, it was still very simple for Brando to ask the other party to help him write a letter of introduction, not to mention that he had long had the intention of working part-time as a Templar, so he naturally would not let go of this opportunity. Head. hair
This was the second letter of introduction that Tulaman had written to him, and the old man laughed that it would be good for Brando's cunning fox to look for him, apparently reminding him that he had not forgotten the last time he had been deceived by him.
Brando has no choice but to do this... Laugh, he didn't have a way at that time, let alone seriously, in fact, he didn't lie. It's just that Brando doesn't want to cause a slate war too early and disturb history, so this matter is not easy to detail.
Brando handed the letter of introduction to the guards guarding the door of the temple A person who can serve as a guard of honor outside the main gate of the Great Temple of Andrvoul is not simple, most of these people themselves are from noble backgrounds and have a certain background, so the guard recognized at a glance that the silver letterhead in his hand has an extraordinary origin, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately introduced Brando into the apse after asking Brando's intention, where the sacrifices rested.
If it were an ordinary person, this Templar guard would naturally not be like this, but Brando wore a red-haired ponytail girl in a military uniform and a noble girl Antitina wearing a black dress and long skirt, the high-level warrior aura on the former cannot be disguised, and the latter's temperament at first glance is a senior staff member who can only be usurped by those big nobles, not to mention that Brando's current mental outlook is not bad, coupled with the aura of the golden rank, it naturally gives people the illusion of a high-ranking person.
This is the reason why Brando only took Akane and Antitina there, and the Templar guards mistook Brando for the descendants of the great nobles at first sight, and they already believed it psychologically, plus the dazzling symbol of the Si on the silver letterhead, they did not dare to doubt it.
The Great Basilica of Andrvle is divided into two parts, the front and back, and the average person who enters this temple to worship stops at the front of the main hall. However, Brando is actually very familiar with the second half of this temple, for example, the place he is in now is actually the training area for the knights in the temple, which is divided into a dormitory area, three halls for training and a meditation room, and he is now in the meditation room for transfer.
The Templar transition process is as simple as having an experienced priest perform a salute with holy water on the recipient. However, the Templar can earn several blessed ranks at the beginning of their transfer. Generally speaking, the higher the rank of the priest who gives the ceremony, the higher the level of blessing obtained, and the level of blessing is actually the free level, which is equivalent to the power of the aborigines as soon as they change jobs.
This was confusing to ordinary people, so many nobles paid large sums of money to pay bribes to the temple in the hope that their heirs would receive gifts from the higher status of the celebrants. Of course, the general priests are generally subordinate priests, and the two chief priests of the diocese of Ampesel are revered, although they know that their subordinates are taking bribes, and once they are not involved in it.
The guards found an elderly priest for Brando, and Brando's eyelids couldn't help jumping when he saw the red edge of the priest's white robe, this old man was also a high-ranking priest, second only to Amman and Wood, but he was also a high-ranking Cunzài, Tulaman's face was really big enough, and even the temple had to sell his favors.
He saw that the guard had whispered something in the ear of the older priest, and guessed that he probably had explained his identity and origin, and the old priest had a look of surprise in his eyes, and Brando knew the steps very well, and hurriedly handed over his letter of introduction, and after the older priest checked the letterhead, there was only a heart left in his eyes.
In fact, the light of Tulaman himself is too conspicuous for few people to know that he once held his current position in Lewoods, and although Tulaman who lived in Pragues, although he has rarely been seen in the aristocratic circles of Eruin since he left the post of director of the Royal Library and relinquished the position of chief court mage, his name is definitely well-known in this circle.
Although Tulaman was born in Eruin, he was a Buga man, and everyone knows this.
The four sages had all received the blessings of the Buga people, and the wizards of Buga were now able to stand above the position, not only because they were powerful among the Silver People, but also because they never intervened in the disputes of the Four Temples, and the four Temples were in awe of this neutral organization.
"Dare to ask what your Excellency has to do with Master Tulaman?" The older priest was more stable after all, and Tulaman had been in seclusion for many years, and now someone suddenly came with his letter to be transferred to the Templar Order, of course, he checked the letter and there was nothing wrong with it, but the details still had to be asked.
"I don't have much to do with the master, but the master had a little relationship with my family in his early years." Brando tried to be as ambiguous as possible, he knew that no one would go to Tulaman for confirmation, and even if he did, Tulaman would probably help him lie.
The older priest nodded, the relationship between the nobles was complicated, and many people didn't want to know too much, Brando was here, in fact, it was almost the same. As long as the belief is not fake, that is enough, and the young man is only going to become a Templar and not to join the Templars.
He put the letter away and replied, "Originally, it was the request of Master Tulaman, and the Lord Priest should have given the gift himself, but it was unfortunate that the Lord Priest happened to be out of town, so why don't you come back after a while?" ”
As soon as the older priest spoke, Brando saw that the Templar guard next to him suddenly turned strange. Martha was on top, and Ampesel had countless powerful figures who wanted to pay a price for their heirs to ask for the priest's sacrifice, but everyone knew that it was impossible, it was not just a matter of strength, but a privilege, and the Lord Priest had only given a gift to one person for ten years, and that was at the request of Obergu VII, at that time, for the sake of improving the relationship between the Temple and Eruin, and the person who was given the gift was now the commander of the White Lion Legion, the territory of the dignified land.
Thinking of this, the Templar guard couldn't help but look at Brando a little dumbfounded, as if to see what was different about this young man.
However, Brando secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he only came here to become a Templar, not to engage in any other famous hall, in his opinion, the more turmoil in the meantime, the better, anyway, he didn't care about the few free ranks, it was better to find a third-rate priest to give him a gift. Brando now regretted asking Tulaman to write this letter of introduction, and if he had had asked Wood to give him a gift, he would have made headlines in Ampesel's aristocratic circles by tomorrow morning, and someone would soon find out who he really was.
Brando didn't believe that there would be any real secrets in this world, his advantage now was that he was in the dark, and if the temple really came to such a place, he would probably be able to escape back to Tonigel tomorrow. The Templar of a district would salute a rebel leader, and not only him, but the entire Flame Temple and Tulaman himself would be discredited, and Brando could not imagine how terrible it was.
Fortunately, Mistress Tomasha's asylum that Wood was not there, and this was the only thing that made Brando breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly shook his head and replied, "No need, I just yearn for the way of Jin Yan, as for who gives me a gift, it doesn't matter." ”
Brando said this very righteously, and the old priest's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but nod his head again and again: "Yes, yes, there are very few young people who think like this now, those nobles, no, then so be it, I will personally give the presiding officer." ”
At this point, the old man couldn't help but look at Antitina and Akane next to him, and then asked, "But Shi never went in with him, how about letting them wait here?" ”
"Of course." Brando replied.
