Chapter 107: A Place of Peace
In this case, countries willingly or unwillingly take the belief in the god of light as the official religion of their own country, of course, the original religions that are deeply rooted in the folk will not die out so easily, such as the belief in the goddess of nature in the Principality of Lanji, the belief in the dwarven empire in the highlands and wastelands, and the belief in the elven tribes in the great forest, all of which are dark but stoic.
There is also another example, the belief in the god of war of the Drew, the official history of the Drew Empire says that the Dru Empire was originally a small tribe of highlanders on the Bailu Mountains. Under the blessing of the god of war, it gradually annexed and expanded, and developed into one of the few great empires on the mainland.
In the history of expansion, the priests at all levels of the Temple of the God of War were on the front line, and made great contributions with blood for the victory of the Drew army, so the Drew Empire regarded the God of War as the state religion, and gradually expanded to various neighboring countries with the war.
Eighty years ago, one of Drew's emperors launched a war to unify the continent, but this emperor, like previous careerists, went from a succession of victories to a great defeat by the coalition forces of many countries, and finally peace on the continent under the mediation of the Church of Light. In addition to withdrawing from the occupied territory, the price is to believe in the Holy Religion of Light as the state religion. Under pressure from the country, the Drew Empire accepted these conditions in its entirety.
But the power of the God of War Temple in the Drew Empire is extremely strong, and it has close ties with all forces, how can it easily withdraw, and I don't know what happened later. The Pope promulgated a canonical amendment supposedly to the will of God, declaring that the God of War was the guardian of the God of Light and that the Temple of the God of War was the servant church of the Church of Light.
Of course, this expedient measure naturally became more and more troublesome later, and the Temple of War relied on the Church of Light to completely restore the scale of Drew's heyday, and gradually expanded. But the Church of Light did not gain any benefit from it. For this reason, a fierce quarrel broke out in the Church of Light, and now, the strength of the Temple of the God of War is becoming more and more stable, and the two churches have formed a competitive relationship in many places.
Among them, the recruitment of talented believers is the focus of competition, and there is a general rule, that is, after joining a religion, you cannot participate in other religions, in the Temple of War, whether you believe, whether you want to join the religion The completely necessary condition is to participate in the warrior test in the temple.
What makes Cleric Priest excited is that now there is an extremely outstanding warrior like Huigang appearing, and he has also participated in the level test of the God of War Temple, which means that he has sworn to join the faith of the God of War, although he heard from Governor Grayson that the young man is the messenger of the archbishop, but no one has really come forward to prove it, maybe just because of the light power, this is nothing, many people who have not joined the Light Church can use the light power.
Therefore, the priests and priests of the God of War Temple who knew Huigang's strength would be so excited, from the probationary priest to the grand priest, they all regarded this as the key to the strength of the God of War Temple.
In addition, as for why the restored Temple of War and the Church of Light did not fall out, because there was a huge empire in the north of the continent, Slot.
At this time, Huigang has entered the territory of the Drew Empire, from Javier City to the border of the Drew Empire, all the way is unexpectedly peaceful, Alina is familiar with the relevant documents, and the monk and Fei'er are not short of money, so they really got a rare rest.
The Drew Empire and the Odan Empire and even most of the state systems are different, the Drew Empire strictly forbade the nobles to manage their own domains, and their territories were managed by administrative officials, to put it bluntly. They are just the empire to feed them on taxes, and they don't have much power.
Therefore, the nobles here are rushing to go to the vassal countries and colonies of the Empire, which is much more comfortable than in the Empire. Of course, many of the local public offices were also held by the aristocracy.
Because of this martial and simple system, all aspects of the work here are extremely good, and the monks have not encountered anything along the way, which makes Huigang and Fei'er, who are used to encountering incidents on the road, feel a little unaccustomed.
So I came to the capital city of Drew without incident, and the city of Muni is also one of the largest cities on the continent, and the characteristics of freedom are among them.
After Hui Gang and his party entered the capital, they did not delay too much. After inquiring with the passers-by on the road, I found the house of the Marquis of Omoc. The marquis is a title of high-ranking nobility in the Drew Empire, and such people are generally promoted by the descendants of the founding fathers or nobles who have made great contributions, although they are one level lower than the joint governor of the city-state of McDan, Duke Grayson, but Duke Grayson is a Drew royal family, which naturally has no way to compare.
The Marquis of Omok of this generation served as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard in Muni City, which was considered a high position, and the emperor's non-relatives were responsible for the defense and military forces of the imperial capital, which shows how much trust he had.
So as soon as the monk inquired on the road, someone told him how to go.
Like every city, the Marquis d'Ormoc's residence was a gathering place for the powerful. But Hui Gang and his party have come a lot, and there is no sense of novelty, not to mention Drew's style and simplicity, and the buildings on the side of the road are at most tall and neat compared to the civilian area.
Soon arrived at the door of the Marquis Omoke's mansion, and the soldiers on duty outside the door saw that Hui Gang and his party were extraordinary, and they did not dare to slack off and hurriedly go in to report the news.
After a short delay, they were brought in by the butler who came out in a hurry, and the butler's words were very polite.
After taking it to a room, I saw several people waiting, and in the middle of several women dressed as maids there was a noble lady of about fifty years old. Looking at the few people who came in, Huigang was calm and calm, the female swordsman Alina was heroic, only Fei'er was a little timid there, holding the little winged lion was not very open, the noble lady slowly walked to him, and asked softly:
"Little girl. What's your name?"
Looking at each other, Fei'er's heart suddenly gave birth to a kind feeling, and said:
"My name is Phil, and some time ago Brother Huigang said that I should have sex with Edward, but I still like the surname Philip. ”
As he spoke, his mood relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips. But in the ears of others, these words are really sad to hear. The female swordsman Alina heard Hui Gang talk about the whole story along the way, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head sideways and gently wipe the corners of her eyes.
The lady's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she still looked carefully into the girl's eyes, as if searching for something. But this only lasted for a short time, and the noble lady's tears flowed, and she hugged Fei'er emotionally, and said:
"O wretched child. ”
The monk and Alina, including Fei'er, were all baffled by the strange behavior of this noble lady, and when the noble lady calmed down, they knew what was going on.
This noble lady is the Marquise of Omok, the Omok family is also a hereditary family of the Drew Empire, but the number of people has always been scarce, and in this generation it is close to defeat, only the current Marquis of Omok and the Archduchess Edward Antti, who married far away from the Duchy of Land.
After the Grand Duchess married into the Duchy of Lanhe, she helped the Ormoc family who was still in the Drew country, and thanks to the Marquis of Omoke of this generation, he was also diligent and talented, relying on the help of Anti, step by step to his current position, which can be regarded as a high authority and participates in secrets.
The intelligence network of a big empire like Drew is naturally very complete, and although the details of the turmoil in the Principality of Lan and Ch are not clear, they finally understand the general situation. What's more, one of the current generals in charge of the Duchy of Lanji, the female elf Jiani, has a letter handed over to her, stating that Fei'er is about to come to them.
The Marquis of Omoc, including his relatives, is very grateful for the help of the Grand Duchess of Anti, and the Drew Empire is extremely powerful, and is not afraid of disputes in the land. The top and bottom are looking forward to the girl's coming, which can be regarded as the responsibility of the uncle.
The Marquise of Ómok is careful in her work, and she has inquired in detail, and Phil has a characteristic of her body that occasionally flashes a trace of green in her eyes, and after seeing this, she judged that the girl was indeed the real Fair, she married the Marquis very early, and got along with Fair's mother Antti for a while, and the relationship was quite good, and she received a lot of care from the Grand Duchess later, and she was very grateful.
After seeing Fei'er, he also revealed his true feelings.
Hui Gang and the female swordsman stood by and learned that the Marquis of Omok and his son Simon were on duty in the Praetorian Guard and would not return until evening. Looking at the Marquise's emotional answer, the spiritual sense in the monk's heart could sense that the Marquise's opinion of Fei'er was full of kindness, which also made him feel a little relieved.
While they were thinking about things, they heard the Marquise ask them:
"On behalf of the Omok family and the deceased Grand Duchess Antti, I would like to express my gratitude to the two of you for escorting Princess Fei'er back from the Duchy of Lange. I wonder what you have plans for the future?"
Hearing this tone, Hui Gang and Alina were stunned, this clearly regarded them as the girl's servants, but although Alina felt a little uncomfortable, the monk didn't care, and replied immediately:
"The poor monk didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted to follow Fei'er. ”
