119, banishment, divine intercourse
On the 15th of the 21st, an explosive piece of news spread quickly on the magic web, at least in the Naga Kingdom.
Sandra, the legendary mage and Grand Duke of the Black Sea, banished his son Talos to the fiefdom of Gorgon, where he was not allowed to leave without an order, let alone return to the Evelyn.
In the last second, everyone was still expressing their opinions on whether the Black Sea Principality was marrying with the Naga Kingdom Tis Royal Family, the Snow Mountain Temple, or the Sand Mountain.
Yes, the topic is still hot and not outdated, and every day tens of thousands of Naga or humans waste their time here.
As a result, the next second, the protagonist who they had been talking about for more than a week was banished?
How is it possible, don't joke, it's definitely fake news, based on basic common sense and cognition, their brains make truthful judgments for the first time.
As for the reason, it's too simple.
As we all know, Talos was originally a spellcaster with the name of a genius young mage, and he was extremely talented, but he was later transferred to the Bloodline Knight due to an accident, but he did not fall silent because of this, but instead rose to the third rank at an even more alarming speed, growing his lower arms.
In the Naga Kingdom, I don't know how many people use the story of Talos to inspire themselves.
Such a promising heir, who can be promoted to the fourth order almost 100 percent, and has a great hope of impacting the fifth order in the future, ordinary rules can no longer restrain him, even if he makes a mistake, he will be held high and gently put down.
The name of exile is not big or small, and it is generally aimed at nobles and royals who have made big mistakes.
The big reason is that if you are banished, you will be removed from the circle of power, cut off most of your connections, and it will be difficult for you to make a difference in politics in the future, and at least you will not have to be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty for crimes such as rebellion.
The Grand Duke of the Black Sea was crazy to banish Talos, someone must have been tricked behind it.
In their opinion, it is nothing more than someone who envies that Talos can marry a powerful heir with infinite glory, and is carried away by jealousy, so they come up with the idea of slandering Talos's reputation by concocting fake news, so as to satisfy the twisted and ugly heart.
It's really sad, someone thought.
If it was someone else who was slandered, they would have passed by at a glance and would not be nosy, but now it is Talos who is hurt, and Talos, who is young, handsome, with the title of prince and count, cannot say anything and let the people behind it go unpunished.
"Look at these gray-blue eyes, they are glowing. Someone pointed to the photo of Talos released by the Evelyn Palace that day, "You can't bear to watch Taal being slandered by a mudflat fish hiding in the mud?"
Thanks to their efforts, the source of the news was soon found, a staff member of the Palace of Evelines, who did not want to give his real name.
In the face of doubts and unfriendly greetings, the insider confirmed the above information after a few minutes, and revealed the root cause of Talos's exile by the Grand Duke of the Black Sea.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's vain attempt to obtain the same inheritance rights as Princess Emma and compete for the future Grand Duke's throne angered the Grand Duke. If you don't believe me, you can wait for news from the Yvelyn spokesperson, who will prove that I am not lying and not spreading rumors. โ
On closer examination, the insider's statement has several loopholes, one of which is that as a staff member of the Evelyn Palace, he is not allowed to disclose important information to the outside world before the Evelyn spokesperson.
But her eloquent appearance was so convincing that everyone's attention and thinking were diverted almost instantly.
"I don't think Talos is a person who likes power, but to be fair, a man should look like a man, so think carefully about who to choose to marry, and the position of the next Grand Duke will soon not need you to worry about it. โ
"If, I mean, if that's the case, and Talos really deserves to be banished, wouldn't the position of second in line satisfy him?"
"The title of prince and earl does not mean that he is above a woman, and in some old-fashioned families, men do not have the right to inherit. โ
Of course, there are also people who express understanding and recognition.
"Strength is the foundation of ambition, the source of desire, and with the talent that Talos is currently showing and the strength that is not weaker than Princess Emma, it is not difficult to understand that he wants to compete. โ
"Sisters, the difference in hormones does not affect the excellence of men, have you forgotten the excellence of Samuel, the former patriarch of the Schulz family?"
Samuel Schulz is the nephew and husband of the previous patriarch and the father and lover of the current patriarch Adella.
"I don't support the dangerous practice of equal inheritance, but there's no need to be too harsh on it, it's just a boy's normal yearning for power. โ
The most is this kind of statement: "He's just a child, wouldn't it be too cruel to be exiled directly." โ
In any case, people still admired Sandra's decisiveness, but it completely broke Talos Shaw's ambition to become the Grand Duke.
After all, as long as Sandra is in the day, there will be no problems with the inheritance of the Black Sea Principality.
Considering the long life of a legendary mage, it is possible that Talos is still active on the world stage after Sandra is old.
Soon after, another insider โ who works in the teleportation hall โ claimed to have seen a Naga suspected of being Talos buy a teleportation ticket to Gorgon in the morning.
At noon on the same day, a spokesman for the Palace of Evelyn confirmed the above information.
Time goes back to the day before, the Great Temple of Saraphos, Mirรณ.
The Great Temple of Mirรณ, the capital of the Golden Empire, is second only to the headquarters of the Temple of Order and Knights, Carthalo, the second largest city in the Empire.
Today, he welcomes a distinguished guest, Amber Finch, Queen of the Golden Empire of Saraphos.
"About eight days ago, the Emperor of the Empire invited Blind Theseus, the Archmage of the Nine Rings of the Prophecy faction, to prophesy about the question of 'who killed Bruce'. โ
After the queen met with Cardinal Jude, who sat in the Great Temple of Mirรณ, she got straight to the point.
The result was inconclusive, and the blind Medsius's prophecy with the help of tarot cards and crystal balls failed, and the use of astrology a day later also failed. โ
"This is not the result I want, I want you to find out the murderer of the second prince Bruce, Lord Jude!"
The queen had three sons, Charles, Bruce, James, and her favorite was her second son, Bruce.
Probably because he embarked on the path of a mage and was destined to never inherit the throne, Bruce and her got along like a normal mother and son, unlike the other two sons who mixed interests and ambitions in their relationship.
Therefore, when she learned that Emperor Blaise II had decided to give up the pursuit of the murderer, she felt sad and angry, and she was unwilling!
"For this, I am willing to give a precious opportunity. โ
The queen calmed down and pulled out a medal with a layer of magical aura from the spatial ring.
"Grand Knight Medal!"
Jude received the medal from the Empress, a reward certificate from the Temple of Order and Knights for those who have contributed to the Church (not clergy), and no more than ten pieces are still circulating in the main material plane, each of which is worth a fortune.
"As you hope, Your Majesty. โ
Jude put away the Grand Knight Medal and began to prepare to communicate with the gods.
In terms of attainments in the field of prophecy, he is indeed not qualified to compare with Blind Theseus, but he is a cardinal who believes in the gods of order and knights, and has mastered the art of divine communication, a higher divine art that communicates with the gods of faith and thus obtains revelation!
Exchanging a Divine Skill for a Grand Knight Medal is not a loss.
"Excuse me. โ
The queen knew the rules and sat quietly on the side, waiting patiently.
Jude knew everything about what was happening on Mosanhoek Island, because of the appearance of the "Divine Favorite", he carefully examined the internal report of the church and understood every force and important person who appeared on the island.
After going through the information, Jude knelt in front of the idol, closed his eyes, and muttered prayers.
At his level, it was only a matter of a moment to empty his brain of distractions and enter a state of mind of absolute humility and admiration, from the depths of his heart and order to fit in with the will of the knight god.
In the dark, Jude felt a huge will: "This is a will of my lord, and it is really great!"
The closer you get to the gods of order and knights, the more you understand the power of the gods and their own insignificance.
"Tell me, my lord, who killed Bruce Finch, the second prince of Saraphos, and your pious servant Jude awaits your revelation. โ
Where Jude can't reach, to be precise, the Kingdom of Order and the Kingdom of Heaven, the God of Order and Knights, a divine power program called "Divine Communication" is running automatically.
Through the faith network, it detected that Cardinal Jude had used the Divine Communication, and after identifying the identity level and scope of authority, it chose to prioritize, and immediately extracted keywords from it, entered it, and began to prophesy.
There are gods who claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, but the truth is that it is only within the realm of their priesthood that they are infinitely close to "omniscient and omnipotent."
Jude's problem does not belong to [Order], [Law], nor to [Contract], nor to [Knight], so according to the original setting of the God of Order and Knights, the divine power program actively predicts it, and then sends the prediction results back, which is "revelation from God".
This is the essence of the Divine Communication, all the gods do this, unless they are not involved in the field of prophecy, otherwise with the Divine level of prophecy, they can deal with the vast majority of problems from the main material plane.
But this time, the Divine Intersection ran into a bit of trouble, and the prophecy that usually only takes a few seconds to get a quick answer has not come to fruition.
Time passed little by little, and the continued consumption of divine power did not play its due role, and there was always a mysterious force preventing the final presentation of the prophecy results.
When the Divine Power consumption reaches the upper limit that can be used for a prophecy, the Divine Power Program immediately stops the prophecy and reports the special situation according to the original setting.
Soon, Jude's problems and the anomalies within them were put in front of the gods of order and knighthood.
