Chapter 20: The Holy Alliance
"We need to let people know that there is danger in the world, but at the same time let them know that danger is far away from them. ”
Ron pondered this sentence silently, a slight stupidity in his heart. This is the bamboo shoot after the rain in spring, and like the ice flowers that are splashing more and more in winter, trembling slightly and sprouting.
After a moment of silence, Ron asked, "Was this really something that Bit did?"
"Yes, that's right, we found traces of bit activity on the scene, like the materials you used, they can't be ordinary people. The Muse replied, "According to my guess, he found your friend before you...... Hmmm......"
"George, sir. George Kennett. Ron continued.
"Yes, George Kennett. The muse pressed his frown slightly, "As far as I can guess, he must have experimented with George Kennett before, but he failed and found you." ”
Ron thought for a moment, and he objected, "But, from my own experience......"
Speaking of this, the muse suddenly smiled, "Yes, experience it for yourself......"
"Mr. Muse—" Ron looked at him helplessly.
"Okay, you go on. ”
"According to my personal ...... Well...... Shouldn't the test subject be put in that glass jar and then injected that blue solution into it? At least in the room where George was staying, I didn't find any traces of the experiment, right?"
"That's what bothers me, and I have two guesses about that. The muse replied, "One is that he is just conducting a simple experiment to test his theory, as you say...... Not...... George Kennett hadn't been completely demonized before, had he? It stands to reason that it is impossible for an ordinary person to remain semi-demonized for five or six days in the face of demonic erosion. ”
After a sip of wine to moisten his throat, the muse continued, "And the second case is that his original experiment didn't require the use of those complicated glass tubes and steam stoves. And the reason why he went to such great lengths to carry out this experiment on you, I have two guesses. First, he realized that he might not be able to keep his sanity, so he put all his hopes on this experiment, using cumbersome technical means and sinful rituals to increase his chances of success. ”
"And the second reason," the Muse looked at Ron in a deep voice, "he sensed that you were unusual, and he thought that you were the most suitable person, and that there was no need to save any more materials for experimentation, or rituals. ”
Ron was shocked, he lowered his head slightly, he was indeed different.
Twins?
The Muse raised his glass, "You are indeed different, you should indeed be the most suitable person, but he got the demon charm wrong." I really didn't expect that these two abilities are very different from each other, how could he be confused, this is not like his style. ”
Ron began, "Maybe he's crazy. ”
Muse glanced at Ron, "yes, he's crazy. ”
After a moment of silence, the crisp sound of the muse placing the goblet on the glass coffee table was heard, and the muse took it as a prelude and spoke.
He said, "I never told you about the Holy Alliance, did I?"
Ron nodded, "Yes." ”
"It's time to talk to you, it's important, because at least everyone needs to be familiar with their company, isn't it......?
The muse frowned again, this kind of work was really not for him, if only Eve were here.
After thinking about it, the Muse asked, "Well, how much do you know about the Holy Alliance?"
Ron thought for a moment, "I know the origin of the Holy Alliance, its most basic composition, and its full name. ”
Three hundred years ago, a world war broke out in this world, and the origins are unknown, and there is a theory that the people of the current Alvana Military United Nations in a region called Burgwa robbed another country's arms, and then used this as the fuse to cause the war. Some people believe that the former Alvana militaristic state tried to open up its territory like the feudal dynasty 3,000 years ago, so it took the opportunity to start an incident.
There is also an even more outrageous claim, saying that in peacetime, arms dealers had little money to make, so they secretly provoked disputes, leading to the outbreak of world war.
The war lasted for fifteen years and wiped out several countries and regions. Eventually, the heads of state realized that the war would never end with the victory of one side or the other, so they gathered the heads of the nations and held a meeting at the temple in the Billenster Mountains, a temple recognized by the world. The parties to the conference agreed, the war ended, and the Sacred-World Peace Alliance was formed.
This council is historically known as the Council of Corondo, which means peace witnessed by God.
And it was because of this war that various countries and regions merged vertically and horizontally, forming four regional systems - the Gnosman League, the Alvana Military United Nations, the Ten Maritime Alliance, and the San Sebastian Empire.
It is worth mentioning that although the name of the San Sebastian Empire may seem like a powerful independent feudal dynasty, in fact, it was also a united States of Sevas, a constitutional monarchy, with dozens of surrounding regions and states, and the power of the state remained in the hands of parliament and the president.
As for the name, there is a funny version that the president of San Sebastian at that time believed that his country should be the greatest victor in this holy war, so at the time of the founding of the state, he secretly changed the suffix of the United States of San Sebastian to Empire, and he was ousted within a week of this incident.
It's just that because this name has been certified in the Holy Alliance and cannot be changed, it has been used to this day.
With regard to the Holy Alliance, the Divine Peace Alliance of the World's Nations is composed of the alliance and the other countries, and each country sends a person to sit in the Holy Alliance, does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Holy Alliance, but only supervises the alliance and the deliberations of the meeting, and is called the Great Prince.
However, the Holy Alliance does not interfere in the internal military and politics of various countries, does not provide military armed forces, and is only responsible for supervising the officials of various countries and dealing with the criminals, cults, and demons of various countries.
These were all the knowledge that Ron had acquired during his five days and five nights in the Enns Library, otherwise he would not have known anything about it.
"Then that's going to be easy. The Muse breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "We all know that the Holy Alliance is composed of the alliance and the nations, with four great princes and three great deacons in charge. And now I'm going to tell you more about the alliance side. ”
After a little deliberation on the wording, Muse said: "The alliance side has three divisions, which are managed by the three major divisions, namely the Prison Wards Division, the Supervision Division, and the Demon Control Division. The three divisions do not interfere with each other, and they are clearly distinguished. The Department of Prison Codes deals with criminals, the Department of Supervision and Examination supervises countries, and the Department of Demon Systems is responsible for demon disorders. Just like me, I am the demon master of the Demon Division. ”
"The three divisions are composed of two parts, such as the Prison Warden Division, the Grand Deacon is responsible for the pursuit and assassination, and the Glory Warden is responsible for managing the Supreme Prison. The Department of Supervision and Examination, the Grand Judiciary oversees law enforcement and is responsible for supervising the situation of officials and regions in various countries, and the Chief Judge of Glory is responsible for managing the Supreme Court. The Demon Division, the Great Division commands the Demon Master, who is responsible for dealing with the demon chaos in various countries, and the Glory Priest is responsible for managing the Supreme Altar. The 'Glory' department issues tasks to the 'Execution' department, and the 'Execution' department is responsible for processing. However, this does not mean that there is a subordinate relationship between the two, but the division of labor is different. ”
Three divisions, in charge.
Ron frowned slightly, he needed some time to sort out the relationship.
The muse raised his glass, and he did not speak again. After Ron's brow relaxed, he said, "I won't say much about the Prison Department and the Supervision Department, you will know about it in the future." And what I'm going to talk about in detail is the Demon Division, which is the department I'm in. ”
"Demon masters are divided into one-life demon masters and even nine-life demon masters, and the prefix is a symbol of your identity. Such as the black-clothed deacon of the prison warden's department and even the red-clothed deacon...... In layman's terms, it's about the same as a military rank. And as I mentioned earlier, the people at the High Altar will send quests to the execution department, and these quests will have a dedicated person to sort the region and difficulty, and then distribute it to the demon masters. ”
"Unlike the Department of Prison Codes and the Department of Supervision and Audit, their enforcement departments can only strictly follow the mission documents, but we are able to adapt to the situation. It's like killing the demon George ......"
Once again, Ron reminded, "George Kennett. ”
"Yes, we can't see him mutilating innocents, so we can only execute him first, because it is impossible for the Supreme Altar to know clearly and clearly all the time where the demon rebellion is taking place, and we happen to encounter it, so we can only deal with it ourselves. ”
Ron suddenly remembered a sentence, and he said, "The general will not be subject to the king's life outside." ”
After hearing this, the muse was stunned, "Well, a good summary. It's just that you have to know that they don't have a relationship with us, so sometimes we don't need to give them a good look. ”
Ron smiled and nodded.
"And if this kind of unexpected event happens, you need to collect some information after the execution to prove that it has indeed been a demonic rebellion, and then send it back to headquarters. Of course, we don't need to run errands for these things, we just need to collect evidence. ”
Speaking of this, the muse suddenly smiled, "And the most important place, that is, salary." Our salary is very good, even if we don't do anything, we can get a sum of money every month. And for us, the higher the prefix, the better the salary. ”
Is this a state-owned enterprise? Ron thought strangely.
"And, after you complete the mission, you'll get a generous bounty. Depending on the severity of the demonic chaos, the bounty varies greatly. And most importantly, we never default on wages. ”
Hearing this, Ron laughed too.
Muse squinted slightly, he shook his red wine glass, and said, "By the way, I forgot to say it, there is one more sentence you have to remember." ”
"The Holy Alliance does not belong to any one nation, but to the world. ”
