Chapter 152: Prince Max
The Royal Palace is a four-storey square gray building with a solemn main entrance with the royal coat of arms, representing the center of power.
It is surrounded by railings.
In the square in front of the palace there are many statues, the early ones, which are not angelic statues of the Holy See, but some other types of statues, and inside there is also a statue of the goddess of victory.
"It seems that the Holy See is also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard." Chen Xu said with a smile.
From Peter's mouth, he learned that most of the wizards tried in the inquisition were ordinary commoners, and there were very few nobles, and they knew that some nobles and wizards colluded, but they also turned a blind eye and did not dare to arrest people, because the nobles were very resistant to divine power.
Many nobles advertised themselves as servants of the Lord, while secretly colluding with sorcerers, thieves and warriors, but the Holy See could not help them.
If it was in the Middle Ages, in an era when the Holy See was dominant and above all nations, the Holy See might have been able to run rampant, but with the Renaissance, the theocracy collapsed, the power of the Holy See was greatly weakened, and the aristocracy did not respect the Holy See very much, although on the surface, the Holy See was still the Holy See, the great Holy See.
Chen Xu walked to the door of the Han Palace, found a guard, destroyed his mind, and then poured his own mental will into his body, controlling his body while also seizing part of his memory.
"That should be fine." Chen Xu muttered, found a hidden place to hide, and then walked in with the guards.
Max's Palace, located behind Buckingham Palace, is a small palace dedicated to Max.
He learned from the guard's memories that Max often painted and wrote poems in his palace, rarely went out for activities, and was a standard otaku.
However, such a person will not be easily discovered.
"Who are you?"
When Chen Xu walked into the palace, he was immediately discovered.
The man who found him was a knight, a knight wearing silver-white chain mail and silver-white metal gloves.
A name popped up in Chen Xu's heart: Knights of the Silver Hand.
In fact, silver-white chain mail and silver-white metal gloves are not exclusive to the Knights of the Silver Hand, and many nobles who like fancy things like silver-white chain mail are fond of silver-white chain mail.
At that time, silver-white chain mail was an ornament and was exclusive to the nobility.
Just like the ancient Chinese swordsman, the scholar himself did not necessarily know how to use the sword, but he did wear the sword, this is because he followed the crowd.
However, since the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand, they have repeatedly made contributions, and gradually, the silver-white chain mail has become the exclusive domain of the members of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
If an ordinary nobleman goes out wearing silver-white chain mail, someone will ask you if you are a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
Yes, naturally, it is envy, but if it is not, then it will laugh at you.
In this way, gradually, no nobles were willing to wear silver-white chain mail.
"My name is Owen." Chen Xu casually said a name, "It's a guard, and I was transferred over to guard Prince Max." ”
"You?" The knight glanced at Chen Xu, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, "Just have me here to protect Prince Max." ”
His strength was enough to despise these ordinary guards.
"I ......." Chen Xu showed a hint of anger appropriately, he clenched his fists, "I heard that the eldest prince is going to be unfavorable to Prince Max, so I volunteered to come over to help Prince Max, but you underestimate me, I ......." ”
"You said the eldest prince is going to deal with Prince Max?" The knight interrupted Chen Xu's words and asked him directly, "How do you know?" ”
"Master Carter told me." Chen Xu replied.
Carter, the commander of the guards, is a swordsman himself, learning Western fencing, Chen Xu has seen him and knows that he has at least the strength of a mid-level knight.
"Carter?" The knight said in a deep voice,
Carter knew that it was a man from the second prince Cook, but why did such a person remind him that the eldest prince was going to assassinate Prince Max.
"Is it a gesture of goodwill?" A thought flashed through the knight's heart, and then he asked, "Did Carter tell you when the Grand Prince's men will come to deal with Prince Max?" How's the strength? ”
"Supposedly a high-ranking warrior." Chen Xu casually weaved a lie.
The so-called high-ranking warriors are divided on the basis of knights.
Low-level warriors, mid-level warriors, high-level warriors, and in addition, there is an Eternal Warrior, but the Eternal Warrior has never been born at all.
And the thieves, too, just swapped the warriors for thieves.
In fact, both warriors and thieves are just branches of knights, because what they themselves adopt is the practice of knights, but on this basis, they change it.
"A high-ranking warrior?" A hint of coldness flashed in the knight's eyes.
If it is just a high-level warrior, he can kill, compared with the knights who have experienced thousands of years and have a complete inheritance, the warrior and thief background is too weak, and the knight of the same level definitely surpasses the warrior and thief in terms of strength.
"There is also a thief, who is said to have it." Chen Xu added some ingredients to the knight.
"Thieves?" The knight glanced at Chen Xu suspiciously, and suddenly said, "You go and tell Lord Silver Hand that someone wants to kill Prince Max." ”
"Yes." Chen Xu turned to leave.
The knight looked at Chen Xu, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he relaxed a lot.
Suddenly, Chen Xu turned around and quickly rushed towards the knight.
"Sure enough, it's you." The knight reacted, drew his greatsword, and slashed straight down.
The knights have very few moves, because they are wearing heavy armor, their tricks are nothing more than several basic actions such as splitting, slashing, sweeping, etc., and there are not many changes.
But if combined with their strength and the wind pressure generated by the giant sword, the lethality brought by them is terrifying.
The power of faith of a high-ranking knight can even cover the surface of the body, forming a layer of defense that is tougher and more difficult to break than magical protection.
It is said that if a high-ranking knight is hit by a cannon, nothing will happen, and their defensive power can be seen.
Chen Xu drew his thin sword and stabbed the knight's arm along the gap in the silver-white chain mail.
Between the silver-white chain mail and the silver-white metal gloves, there was a gap of about a decimeter or so, which was not protected, so Chen Xu's target was here.
"It's a ...... feeling." Chen Xu didn't feel that he had pierced the knight's flesh, but instead he felt that his thin sword was ejected.
"It's a protection unique to high-ranking knights." Chen Xu crouched, avoiding the oncoming giant sword, and then wandered around the knight, looking for an opportunity.
Low-level knights are ordinary, mainly training physical strength, and they are cannon fodder used to charge on the battlefield.
Middle-level knights have developed the power of faith, they can attach the power of faith to their weapons, forming lethality, and knights with the power of faith generally have a better physique, and their strength is endless.
Chen Xu estimated that the physical fitness of the middle-level knight was similar to that of Thunder, of course, it was the Thunder before the injection of superhuman serum.
The high-level knight, on the other hand, covers the whole body with the power of faith, which is a natural defense that does not need to be deliberately urged, even if it is assassinated while sleeping, it will be fine.
Before the Renaissance, only the same high-ranking knights and eternal knights could be killed, and other despicable methods such as assassination and poisoning were useless to high-ranking knights.
So at that time there was a saying: there are only knights who died in battle, and there are no knights who were assassinated.
Even if the knights are old, their bodies will be at the peak of their state, and only when they die, their bodies will quickly decay and decay.
However, after the Renaissance, warriors and thieves flourished, and rumors of the assassination of high-ranking knights followed.
As for the Eternal Knights, knights of this level generally exist as strategic nuclear weapons, and they will not attack easily.
"Despicable." The knight held the giant sword in one hand, dancing vigorously, and the attack power displayed by the giant sword, as long as Chen Xu touched the giant sword, he was afraid that he would be disabled, and this body would be scrapped.
However, Chen Xu is very flexible, and he doesn't fight with knights at all, he just wanders around the knights, occasionally trying to attack.
But after a few temptations, Chen Xu got bored.
This is Buckingham Palace, in addition to this high-level knight, there are other knights, although most of these knights are middle-level knights, but ants bite elephants to death, once they come, there is absolutely no good fruit for Chen Xu to eat.
The most important thing is that Chen Xu is afraid of encountering a few high-level knights.
The protection and attack of mid-level knights and high-level knights are simply worlds apart.
"Forget it, next time I'll kill this knight." Chen Xu shook his sword and wanted to get out of the battlefield.
"Kill."
Just as Chen Xu was about to leave the battlefield, a burst of white energy exploded, hitting Chen Xu in an instant.
The powerful energy penetrated through Chen Xu's internal organs, and in an instant, all his internal organs were shattered, as if he had been hit by some kind of heavy object.
"Whew......." The knight exhaled, a little tired.
Bursting out the power of faith and attacking with energy was too physically exhausting, and even he was a little tired after exerting it.
The essence of the knight's birth is to crush the soldiers on the battlefield, they have strong attack and protection power, as well as endless physical strength.
Therefore, while the knight has strong protection and attack power, he gives up agility, so there is an embarrassing thing that he can't hit Chen Xu.
However, Chen Xu can't help him, although Chen Xu has strong psychic power and magic, but this body is not his, there is no magic power in it at all, plus this is a low demon plane, it is a little difficult to drive elemental energy to perform magic with the will of the mind, so Chen Xu also had the embarrassing thing of hitting the knight, but unable to break the defense.
The internal organs of the body were shattered, and it seemed that he was about to die, and Chen Xu did not cherish this body, and directly crossed the space with his spiritual will, shuttled over, and looked for Prince Max.
"There's sorcery." The knight sensed something wrong the moment Chen Xu's spiritual will shuttled through the space.
Although he didn't know what the spiritual will was, he could have a premonition that there was some invisible force shuttling through the air.
"Oops, he's targeting Prince Max." The knight rushed almost instinctively, savagely slammed open the door, and broke in.
Behind the door, Max, who was drawing with a pen, looked at the knight who broke in in surprise, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, "Get out of here." (To be continued.) )
