Since two days ago, the palace has been lively, the nobles of all sizes and envoys from abroad in the kingdom have rushed to the palace in horse-drawn carriages like a market, and the rooms that are usually not inhabited are suddenly full, and even many low-ranking nobles such as barons and viscounts are forced to camp in the forest outside the palace, because the palace simply cannot accommodate so many people.

"A small kingdom with so many nobles." Li Chao looked at the brightly lit palace, even at night, even across the forest, he could see the bright lights and boiling popularity, "Should I say that the temple is a small demon or is it a shallow king?" ”

Just then, a loud stampede came from across the forest, and the queen approached surrounded by a group of loyal soldiers.

"Queen."

Li Chao casually put away the "Detailed Explanation of the Basic Words of Black Magic", and said solemnly: "Why are you here?" ”

In private, he has the upper hand, and the queen has to obey his command, but on the surface, he is a free man, and the queen is a noble queen, and the coronation is imminent, so he must be respected, otherwise, a fool can see that there is a cat between them, and the reason why the secret is a secret is because he can't be dug deep, and if he digs deep, any secret will be exposed.

"I'm about to be crowned." The queen's eyebrows were shaking, and she was very excited, "I want to invite you to witness my coronation." “

"Please let me witness your coronation?"

Li Chao was stunned, he didn't react for a long time, what did he mean?

The queen's coronation ceremony, all the nobles came and went, what did he, a free people, do in the past? Let the nobles guess what this freeman has to do with the queen?

And at the coronation ceremony, the bishop of the Holy See came to coronate the queen, and people like him who used camouflage magic to disguise themselves appeared on it to look for death, if the bishop of the Holy See couldn't see it, if he could see it, it was estimated that he wouldn't think about coming back after he went, and it would already be a great shame for the queen not to be burned on the spot.

"I solemnly invite you to witness my coronation."

"Honorable Hannibal the Sage."

Boom......

The queen's last words swept through Li Chao's stiff mind like lightning, waking him up.

Sage.

Medieval European kings canonized a title similar to the ancient Chinese national teacher, but compared with the title of the national teacher with a certain ambiguity, the sage is more magnificent in Europe, generally only important members of the court or astrologers, soothsayers can serve as sages, and sages are also regarded as a symbol of wisdom, providing correct advice to kings.

For example, the legendary Archmage Merlin, who guided King Arthur, was a sage who assisted King Arthur in becoming the ruler of the British Isles and guided King Arthur to become a wise and powerful king.

Once Li Chao is canonized as a sage, then the Holy See has no way to even if he knows that he is a sorcerer, because killing him is tantamount to going against the sages and kings of the entire continent, which in a sense breaks the tacit understanding between divine power and royal power.

Thinking of the benefits of becoming a sage, Li Chao wanted to laugh, becoming a sage, what else could the Holy See do with him? When the villagers suspected that he was a sorcerer and went to the priest, he didn't need to leave at all, and just said, 'I am a sage', and the priest was helpless against him.

Not only is there nothing to be done, but they will also treat him with courtesy.

But he couldn't laugh, because he also figured out why the queen would canonize him as a wizard, her purpose was very simple, that is, to tie him, or Lord Ciric behind him, to her, so that the interests of the two people could be deeply linked, so that they could fight against the Holy See together.

A sage, a wizard canonized by the queen, once the queen loses power, the sage aura on his body fades, and he will immediately be frantically hunted down by the entire Holy See, which is the situation faced by wizards exposed to the sun.

This is a sweet bait, if you eat it, he will be deeply bound to the queen, but if you don't eat it, he can't bear it.

With the identity of a sage, he can appear in the field of vision of the Holy See openly and honestly, and the Holy See does not dare to do anything to him, and even he can communicate with sages from various countries as a sage, exchange black magic books from their hands, absorb black magic knowledge, mysterious black magic, and make him deeply fascinated.

To eat or not to eat, Li Chao was extremely entangled, so he gritted his teeth and looked at the queen, looked at the woman who threw the multiple-choice question over, and gritted his teeth, "Queen, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"I know." The queen said softly, "I want to canonize you as a sage, and ask you to use your wisdom to illuminate this kingdom and guide it to prosperity and strength." ”

All the cards were spread out, just waiting for him to choose, but he was in trouble, whether to agree or not to agree.

Promised, he could use this to communicate with the sages of the entire continent, and act as a wizard in the open...... But if you say yes, danger will follow.

"Queen, are you really ready? Even if the Holy See does not agree, will you canonize me as a sage? ”

Sages are not so easy to canonize.

The Holy See would not allow the Queen to canonize him as a sage, and if she showed such intentions, the Holy See would immediately put pressure on her and threaten her to dispel such dangerous ideas.

If there was really an all-knowing and all-powerful Lord Cirek behind him, then he would not hesitate to agree, but the so-called Lord Ciric was made up by himself, and it didn't exist at all, the queen didn't know, could he still not know? If he really thought that Master Ciric would help him, then he would have ended up miserable.

The queen looked at him and nodded firmly, "I will canonize you as a wizard as soon as the coronation ceremony is completed." ”

Li Chao looked at her, and a word flashed in his mind: cut the mess with a quick knife.

"Wonderful!"

It's wonderful.

In front of all the nobles in the kingdom, in front of envoys from other countries, the queen canonized herself as a nobleman, which is equivalent to not giving the Holy See a chance to react, can the Holy See still be able to overthrow the canonization of the newly crowned queen in front of countless nobles?

It is impossible, you must know that theocracy and royal power are separated on the surface, even the pope cannot overturn a king's policy in public, only the king can overthrow the king's policy, he can only secretly force the king to act according to his own will through various means, but this means cannot be exposed, once exposed, it will be a huge blow to both parties.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Chao immediately became excited, and he agreed in one breath, "Okay, I promise your canonization." ”
