194, noblewoman
The battle in the Bones Lands is defined as a big win on various documents. An unexpected encounter eliminated the infamous Blood Raven, and in this battle, the ancient profession was officially returned to the world: Knight Luke Stexis awakened the Holy Cult and blocked the fatal blow of Sequence 5 in the rank of Sequence 8.
Most importantly, His Excellency the Sage has redefined Fallen Rog as a Heroic Spirit kidnapped by Hell, a victim imprisoned in a demonic shell.
As for the sacrificial explorers...... Hardly anyone cares about it.
As the executor of the Church in this land, Rutherford Cook completed the report, one in the blind nuns and one in the Holy See as quickly as possible. He and the nuns questioned everyone who participated in the battle, from psychological activities to descriptions of landscapes.
After a few years, these materials will become history and provide reference for future generations.
Zheng Yi, as a participant, also gave his own opinions and opinions, as well as his signature. He emphatically reaffirmed the definition of Fallen Rog as a way to clear the stigma of the Blind Sisterhood.
Previously, the Holy See's definition was that the uncleanness of the nuns' hearts led them to die in battle with resentment, and they were eventually reshaped into demons by the Furnace of Hell.
Regardless of what the Patriarch and the Holy See think of the new definition, the Blind Sisters will prevail in any way by the definition of Her Excellency the Holy One.
Zheng Yi told Kasha to stay at Blackstone Fort and go to Rog's camp by himself. Today, it is the headquarters of the Sisters, and Akara is in charge of it. He brought back a carload of people by the way, and made a cameo appearance as a bus driver.
Akara received the news of the Sage's return and waited for him in the hall of the synagogue with ten bottles of blue on the table. The Sage has recently released "miracle-level" divine techniques one after another, and it will definitely be in demand.
Zheng Yi entered the hall, sat down on the old seat, and casually opened a bottle of big blue and poured it into his mouth:
"Dear Akara, we need more fighters, higher-level fighters. We have to build the land. ”
"As you say, it is true, but we have limited land. The Church has very limited land in the Dark Forest. ”
Zheng Yi remembered what Antiope had mentioned to him that the great nobles did not want to sell the land here, and it seemed that he was a well-known count.
"Can't the church put pressure on the earl?" Zheng Yi asked: "Or if we buy some land for small nobles, there will always be someone willing to sell." ”
Akara said helplessly: "From the old town of Tristram in the south to the border of the Savor Heath in the north, to the Bay of Westmar in the west, and to the Carpathian Mountains in the north...... All belong to the Bathory family. They inherited three-quarters of the kingdom of Candras, and there was also a king in the family. The church needs their support. ”
Zheng Yi's knuckles tapped on the table: "Why did the nobles who owned so much land not canonize their vassals?" ”
"No one looks down on this cursed land." "And they don't count on the output of the fief, the Count himself lives in Tenn all year round," said Akara. Only the Countess lived in the castle of Seit. ”
"Separation?" Zheng Yi was a little strange.
Akara tilted his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know much about the news among the nobles. I can have someone consult if you need it. ”
Zheng Yi didn't want Akara to spend his energy on such trivial things. He knew that Aaron had found a way and was able to contact the Earl himself, so he should be well aware of the rumors of the Earl's family. Of course, it would be better if the Count was willing to sell a large piece of land.
As an explorer who welcomed the advent of the Sage, Aaron Pol was already a small star in the capital of the principality, Tern. Luke Stitch had been with him at the banquet to preach the battle, but since Luke went to the front line to fight evil, everyone's eyes fell on Aaron Bol.
This made Aaron Pol a little inflated, and he was a little displeased that Count Bartholi had been unwilling to see him for a long time. Anyway, he's also a knight. There have already been several counts who have expressed their intention to solicit, as long as they are willing to nod, maybe they will be barons with fiefdoms.
At the appointed time, Aaron Pol arrived at the Count of Bathory's mansion dressed in a modest satin coat, a lace scarf, Tenne's most fashionable leggings, and white stockings that tightened his calves. His butler was soon invited to the kitchen for tea, leaving him to sit in the library in the side hall on the first floor.
Aaron Pohl sat on a plush sofa and looked at the library he had never seen before. It is a full ten meters high, and the dome is painted with frescoes. That's the story of Ann's efforts to suppress Tasamet and knock the seven dragons into the lower planes.
An entire wall is occupied by books, so much so that there are special staircases for servants to go up to find the books that their masters need. On the other side of the book wall, there is a curtain wall made of huge glass, which can directly see the forest and lawn outside, which is spotless.
Wow.
Aaron Pol heard the sound of high heels on the wooden floor.
In an inconspicuous position on the top floor of the library, a door opened.
A noble lady stood there, holding a lace fan in her hand and gently beating her chest. She wore a long dress and a tight waist, as if she could hold it with one hand. The skirt propped up by the whale baleen is flat at the front and wide on the left and right, and it is the most popular style in recent times.
The lady walked down the stairs step by step, revealing a small tibia, wrapped in white silk.
Aaron Pol tilted his head, just in time to see a strange flash of white, the color of the noblewoman's skin above the knee. He hurriedly stood up, bowed to the noblewoman, lowered his head, and twisted his arms sideways, until he saw a slender palm wearing white gloves in front of him, and quickly held his fingertips and kissed the noblewoman's ring lightly.
"It's an honor to meet you, valiant knight." The sofa on which the lady sat was widened and lengthened so that it could accommodate a wide petticoat.
Aaron Pohl straightened up, his face flushed: "My pleasure, beautiful lady. You see, I have an appointment with Count Bathory, and I have no intention of offending you here. ”
The lady covered her mouth with a folding fan and smiled:
"I know, you want to buy my family's land in the east, and you have a lot of appetite."
Aaron Pol heard the mockery and said embarrassedly:
"Yes, I do. Not to make money, but to support a just war. ”
The lady smiled and said, "Then what can you talk about with my husband?" Don't you know that he didn't have the surname Bathory before he married me? ”
Of course, Aaron knew that the Earl had changed his surname because of the higher status of his wife's family, but how could there be a woman in charge of the family property in this era? The knights who married noblewomen for the sake of their property also controlled their wives' property after marriage, and some even squandered it.
