During the Kingdom Age and the early Age of Empires, duels and jousting trials were so popular that they were even treated as grand events among the nobility who lacked entertainment. In order to show off their power and talents, kings and nobles often drove their knights to duel because of a little contradiction, and the low-level free knights also regarded duels as an important way to promote and obtain honorary rewards, and were equally keen to participate in duels.

This continued until the middle of the imperial era, because of the development of commerce, the concentration of royal power, the concentration of nobles in the royal capital and big cities, living a luxurious and leisurely life, coupled with the flourishing of masquerade, salons, plays, concerts, and other bloodless entertainment, the gradual prosperity of culture, and various cultural works to fill the empty spirit of the nobles, the slightly barbaric and bloody entertainment of duel gradually became less.

However, today, this custom is still retained in many places, but duels are no longer limited to nobles, even between commoners and commoners, duels can be initiated, and according to the current law, the deaths and injuries caused by duels will not be held responsible.

Neither Bishop Filch nor Archbishop Ludwig had any objection to Lady Loris's application for a duel, only Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song frowned slightly: "That's not good, it's unfair to let an honorary knight and an ordinary person with no strength duel!"

Lady Loris didn't speak, just smiled, and Bishop Filch hurriedly said: "Your Highness, sacred duels are allowed by the Holy Scriptures, we should respect secular customs, and let secular matters between secular matters be resolved by the secular themselves!"

"Of course, if you think this duel is unfair, I can also preside over this duel in front of the gods, after all, the rules of the tournament trial do not require that the party who accepts the duel must go into battle in person, if he can find a willing knight to duel in his place or directly hug the opponent's legs and pray for forgiveness, it is also okay......

Bishop Filch didn't feel that the whistleblower who offended Lady Loris was able to find knights willing to duel for him in the Silver Tide City, in fact, this rule was only to protect those who were in high positions and did not have too strong combat power, they could drive their knights to duel instead of themselves, and where could a powerless commoner go to find a knight to replace him?

Of course, Bishop Filch's rhetoric is not entirely aimed at fooling His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song, according to his thoughts, the final result is that most of the whistleblowers kneel on the ground in the dueling arena and cry for mercy, and Mr. Carl Rowland, who initiated the duel, saved his honor, and most of them will not continue to kill - although the victor has the right to decide the life and death of the loser, but in the face of the witnesses of the church, the victor often chooses to pardon the loser to show respect for the Lord.

"Okay!"

Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden thought about it, nodded and agreed to the duel application, but still added a small condition: "I will be the witness of this theocratic duel!"

At this moment, not only Lady Loris, but even Bishop Filch and Archbishop Ludwig showed surprised expressions, only the female knight beside Her Royal Highness seemed to be surprised, and her face was expressionless.

Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden showed a playful smile, as if she was very satisfied with everyone's surprise.

"A talented poet and a powerful knight of genius, I also want to meet this illegitimate son of the Roland family!"

......

Mrs. Loris left with a smile and satisfaction, and Archbishop Ludwig and Bishop Filch also retired. In the end, when only Lord Artest and Inquisitor Titus were left in the box, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song put away her playful smile and asked a little seriously, "Tell me, what is the reason why you are eyeing Lady Loris's little sweetheart?"

Lady Loris and Bishop Filch were unfamiliar with the Inquisition's style of conduct, and might have thought that the Inquisition's actions against that Carl Rolland were merely provoked by well-intentioned people and the arrogance of the Inquisition, but Her Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song obviously did not think so.

Lord Artest pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, do you remember who the most dangerous enemy of our church is?"

"The most dangerous enemy?"

Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song couldn't help but think, there are countless enemies of the church, but there are only a handful of dangerous people, and the only person who can be regarded as the most dangerous enemy by the current church is the dark sage Klein who single-handedly founded the "Father's God", established the Pantheon, and subverted the pattern of faith in the mainland.

Her Royal Highness couldn't help but be interested: "Could it be that Carl Rowland's bloodline is related to the Dark Sage Klein?"

Dark Sage Crane, his most famous deeds are not his great achievements in arcane arts, nor his paternalism that single-handedly subverted the pattern of the continent, but his amorous nature, all kinds of lace news and many illegitimate children that flowed when he traveled the continent.

"That's not right, that Dark Sage has the star demon blood of the royal family of Rui Grace, not the blood of the sea dragon of the Xibai royal family!"

"No, the blood of the Canghai Dragon does not come from the Dark Sage, but from his wife!"

"Lady of the Dark Seer?"

"Yes, it's Chrissy, the 'Mad Witch'!"

At this moment, even Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden was surprised, the "Mad Witch" Chrissy may be unknown in the circle of ordinary people, but in the top circles of the major forces, the "Ageless God of Destruction" and "Moving Natural Disaster" are incomparably photographable characters.

She was the eldest princess of a certain generation of kings of the Xibai Kingdom thousands of years ago, and she had been unknown until the Xibai Kingdom was defeated and retreated under the attack of the coalition forces of the Glorious Church, and was forced to the royal capital and fell into the brink of extinction, when she suddenly appeared and destroyed the entire church coalition army in one fell swoop with incredible space magic, saving the entire Xibai Kingdom.

Although the subsequent history is unknown, a large part of the existence of the Xibai Kingdom has been able to survive to this day. However, most of the time, she lives in seclusion in the ancient gods and demons battlefield in the demon realm forest to study magic quietly, rarely goes out, and the biggest disturbance in recent years is just the old cow eating tender grass, pushing the little fresh meat of the dark sage Crane, and the threat to the church has always been ranked below the orc war saint and the president of the arcane joint council.

"We already know through the spies lurking in the Arcane Federation that in the past twenty years, the Arcane Federation has positioned the Silver Tide City as a place of trial for mages, and has sent at least five envoys here to gather and guide the mage apprentices in the Silver Tide City. ”

"And we have found out that seventeen years ago, among the first batch of mages who came to the Yilei region for trial, there was a famous person!"

"The brightest new star of the Arcane Federation, who combines arcane and knightly powers, the first to be promoted to the legendary Knight of Mysteries, and the 'Mad Witch' and 'Son of the Dark Sage' - 'Dragon Exorcist' Clovis!"
