109 The Trial of the Seven Sons (32)
"Who allowed you to make decisions without your consent!?"
……
In the Templar meeting room, a circle of people sat on either side of the conference table staring at the blonde knight in the doorway, everyone's face did not look good, and the overall atmosphere was very solid.
A familiar scene, but unlike the last time, the incident is much more serious.
The time for the trial of the Seven Sons was in the afternoon, and he had a night to prepare his men, and the next day, tomorrow, the trial would officially begin.
So Lan Li is now facing a "difficulty".
The one who initiated the questioning was Nancy Tarbek, the leader of the Warrior's Son, who was originally annoyed by the slight scandal of his drinking, but now someone in the Knights has rashly mixed into the "infighting" of the Targaryen royal family without consent, how can he not be angry.
You know, they are hostile to all of the Targaryens, not to any of them.
"It's the gods of heaven." Lan Lifu spoke in astonishment, without the slightest response that one might expect, but that didn't affect the anger of some.
"The gods of heaven think that incestuous families are monsters, and the gods have never allowed us to side with monsters." A bald monk replied with a blank face.
Lan Lixin said why don't you talk to the archbishop who crowned the conqueror in the first place, but now that he said this, it is purely a pole raiser, or the kind that makes the other party angry, so he retorted along the topic.
"But the gods demand that we do justice."
He had been prepared for this before he was recruited, so the topic was endless.
"Meg I is in a lower order of succession than his nephew Aegon, and now that he is rashly coronated, and besides, his mother Visania killed the former king Innis with poison and indiscriminate means, shouldn't they be judged for such a blatant rebellion against justice?"
The latter he said was a rumor that was gradually spreading in the city, unsubstantiated, but sufficient to constitute one of the grounds for the trial of the complaint.
After hearing this, the other red-haired knight spoke: "Of course we need to participate in the trial, but we don't need to join the Targaryens, standing on one side of the monster against the other?" Whoever wins and who loses is contrary to what we hoped for, and you rush into it. ”
"That's right, we can start a second after this trial." Another knight said, "The second between the Church and the Targaryens." ”
"Does this mean that you are questioning the outcome of the gods' ruling?"
Lan Li spoke: "As we all know, the trial of the competition is the result of the finalization of the gods, the judgment of the seven sons is even more sacred, and the reason for the challenge of the Imperial Forest Iron Guard is bigamy and the issue of inheritance, so if Meg wins, should we recognize bigamy and Meg's inheritance rights as legitimate?" ”
Without waiting for any of these people to speak, Lan Li said, "Or is it that some of the things we have preached for thousands of years are just words, and in fact, they still have to be recognized if they are not in the interests of the church?" ”
This was a bit explicit, and the bald monk subconsciously retorted when he heard this.
"We are servants of the gods, and we only preserve the glory of the gods."
"And in the precepts of the gods, did what Maegor did to tarnish their glory?"
Lan Li quickly asked, "If so, what's wrong with me joining in?" ”
"Some cases are peculiar, lemons."
Knight Murray, who was sitting quietly on the side, spoke: "Of course, we need to maintain the glory of the heavenly gods, but that can't be rushed, and it is really too reckless for you to rush in. ”
"I don't understand the so-called recklessness, I only know that Meg is evil, and he is not qualified to sit on the Iron Throne, so I want to crusade against him!" Lan Li's voice seemed righteous and stern, and on the surface, he looked like a church knight who was really upholding justice, or a stunned young man who didn't know what to do.
Knight Murray was a little angry because of this.
"How can you guarantee that you can defeat Meg when you go up?"
"If the gods really uphold justice, then I will surely win." Lan Li said without hesitation: "Just because victory only belongs to the righteous side!" ”
"The gods may not look away, you may still die on the spot, you-"
"Then let me die in the judgment, a true knight should not be afraid of life and death, but should have a belief that he must keep, and that is obviously not a compromise!"
Without waiting for the people at the table to speak again, he said directly: "Sirs, if you think that my actions will cause trouble for the church, then I will participate in the trial in the name of Lemon, the bastard son of the Osgray family, not the son of a warrior." ”
As he spoke, he bowed slightly, then turned away without hesitation. Leaving the high-level of the church to look at each other, the red-haired knight finally said angrily: "Look, this guy is so disregarding the overall situation, he doesn't even have the slightest bit of shame? I propose that he be expelled directly from the son of a warrior, lest we be dragged down by him! ”
……
The words behind him were faintly audible, and at this time, there was a knight guarding the door at the door who looked at him with a complicated gaze after Lan Li walked out, admiring, surprised, and annoyed......
This represents what many people think of the blonde knight.
Lan Li ignored this, and when he stepped away, his face had been expressionless, and he was actually thinking to himself.
Speaking of which, it is unlikely that the church would allow that judgment to take place, or that it would be impossible for it to be beyond their control.
The reason is very simple, under the propaganda of countless years, the trial of martial arts basically represents the judgment of the gods, and this kind of judgment can even ignore the secular law, and the big fist makes sense, and how many evil people use it to clear their names, and they have tried and tested repeatedly.
And the judgment of the seven sons is more sacred than a mere martial judgment.
So, as Lan Li said in the room, if the church really allowed this judgment to happen, then when the results come out, will they admit it or deny it?
The biggest possibility is that the church will be defeated, or forced to fall, and Maegor will not be able to win in public.
Lan Li didn't think there would be any surprises at this, he had been pondering this matter since he drugged the wine of the Warrior's Son Regiment Commander.
And he wasn't worried about being really excommunicated, or about being excommunicated before this trial.
He was announcing his participation in the trial in the name of the son of a warrior in front of a large audience, even in front of the enemy, so that the matter of his entry into the judgment was basically irreversible, and it would be of no use to excommunicate him at this juncture, but rather to provoke criticism.
Now that he was called at this time, it was just that the church side was too angry, annoyed that the guards of the Imperial Forest were one step ahead, annoyed that Lan Li was arrogant in disregarding the overall situation, and even more annoyed that he was led by the nose.
Knowing this, Lan Li naturally doesn't need to be polite, because as long as his attitude is a little softer, then a series of scolding and reprimands will obviously flock to him, so it's better to be tough and get over it.
Anyway, after the trial, he didn't need the identity of this warrior's son.
Of course, all this is also risky, although the plan is thought out in an orderly manner, but there is a high probability that the church will not play cards according to common sense, and no one can guarantee what the specific development will be like until it really happens.
So you may lose all the games if you are not careful.
Lan Li was mentally prepared for this.
If the church really does not choose to participate in this trial, then it may expel him outright.
Then the question arises, is the name of the son of a warrior the same as the identity of the son of a warrior?
If everyone else thinks that he is the son of a warrior, then is he participating in the trial in the name of the son of a warrior?
Or rather, he did ask to join the trial in the name of the warrior's son, which many onlookers knew at the time, and the news must have spread quickly.
So if he's not halfway through, is this a requirement?
If it does, that's fine, but if he rolls over, he can also gain something, because it will allow him to understand the rules of some tasks.
Of course, it's better not to roll over, after all, it takes so much time to prepare for this task, and it is not cost-effective to simply learn the rules.
However, all of this is premised on being able to win, but Lan Li is not sure to guarantee this, his initial idea is to hone his skills all the time, and then see how far he can finally go before making a battle plan based on it.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and his knight-related skills are obviously not comparable to those senior masters, and now the only thing he can rely on is the riding gun carriage and some non-knight-related things......
Thinking about it, he had already stepped into the living quarters, and at this moment, an emaciated white figure suddenly came from the shadow in the corner.
Lan Li had a headache when she saw this.
