The bard waved his hand and said, "This guy is mistaken, Edward's Majesty was not the Knights of Farrington in the first place. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info"
There was a burst of surprise.
"I don't dare bite my tongue if I'm disrespectful to the nobles," the bard thought for a moment, "I'll explain it to the guys."
He picked up the water bag and took a sip of water, then said, "Everyone should know why our Solan Empire has the worst relationship with the Holy See among the three major empires. ”
People nodded. Some people even couldn't help but snort coldly.
Everyone knows that there are two main reasons for the discord between the royal family and the Holy See.
The first is the struggle for power.
For many years, the royal family of the Saint Soran Empire has been a puppet in the eyes of many people. The government is controlled by the prime minister [Donald]. Three of the six principalities of the empire were Donald's minions. Of the five legions, two are Donald's direct line. In addition, many legions in the border army look at his eyes and act, which can be called a one-handed cover.
And that's not what Donald relies on the most.
His biggest backer is the Holy See!
You can bet that one day Donald usurped the throne, and the Holy See would definitely recognize it as soon as he could. Maybe the Pope will personally crown him!
The second reason for the discord between the royal family and the Holy See is that the Solan Empire is the only country that openly retains the Temple of Magic, a pure mage organization.
To these ordinary people present, magician is a word that is far from reality. It represents the mysterious, noble, terrifying, and dangerous people, who almost only exist in legends.
Although the big guys are familiar with the glorious deeds of those magic gods who fell in the final battle, in this era, not to mention the magicians who can call the wind and rain and summon hail meteorites, even those magicians who are closely related to life, it is rare to see one.
The so-called magic pattern is a magic pattern that is drawn or carved on an item and can gather elemental energy.
The magic pattern has many uses. Tom's blacksmith stove has a simple wind pattern. His dad spent a lot of money to buy it.
In addition to this, the magic pattern can also be used to reduce the weight of the carriage, speed up the sailing of the ship, or paint the ice magic pattern at home to cool down on a summer day.
Of course, those things are not enjoyed by ordinary people, and only rich and decent people and aristocratic lords can afford to hire a magic pattern master. Moreover, the larger and more complex the magic pattern, the higher the cost.
The magic mill in the east of Bollabel City cost a lot of gold to the previous generation of barons.
In addition to daily life, the biggest use of magic patterns is in war.
A piece of normal-level magic pattern equipment that can match the knight's fighting spirit can increase the knight's combat effectiveness by 10% to 50%. Rare-level equipment can even directly increase the strength of the battle ring by one star.
The [Normal] grade is said to be very expensive, while the [Rare] grade is not necessarily available if you have money. Not to mention those [Legendary] and [God-given] level battle armor weapons.
Ordinary people talk about it, and even think about it feels arrogant and extravagant.
It can be seen that the preciousness of the magic pattern products and the rarity and mystery of the magician.
Although I have never seen a magician, the big guy knows very well that there are two kinds of mages, one is a mage recognized by the Holy Religion, and the other is a dark wizard who will be burned at the stake once caught by the Inquisition.
The way to distinguish is also very simple. In the eyes of the Holy Sect, when using magic, the mages who did not appear [Holy Radiance] were all dark wizards.
And this is something that the Temple of Magic strongly opposes.
It is not known how many mages the Temple of Magic of Saint Solan has protected. But everyone has heard more than once that in the Pompeii Empire and the Philip Empire, thousands of people as innocent as themselves were slandered by the Inquisition as dark wizards, sent to the gallows and burned at the stake.
Bollabel has no mages, and no dark wizards. Even if there were, it was still the kind of brutality of the Inquisition, which said that if you would arrest people, and if you said you would kill them, it would make everyone feel even more terrifying.
I heard people chew their tongues and say that because some dark wizards are caught and do not use magic and cannot tell, the Inquisition has come up with another way - to tie people to stones and throw them into the water, sink and drown, they are not dark wizards, and if they can't sink, they are dark wizards!
I don't know if it's true.
If it is true, this is simply ridiculous! How many innocent civilians have to be unjustly killed in this way of adjudication.
Although everyone sincerely believed in the Holy Emperor, they never stopped praying every day. However, he still resisted these practices of the Holy Religion from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone thought silently, but no one dared to talk about it publicly. Nor did the bard go on on a subject that everyone understood.
"You probably don't know it yet," he lowered his voice, but the expression on his face was vivid with the look of knowing the secret, "Roy's mother is actually the daughter of the Grand Duke of the [Tomahawk] Legion, and at the same time, she is also a student of Abraham, the president of the Solan Magic Association, and a close friend of the queen since childhood. Roger Knight, on the other hand, was Edward's best friend in his youth. ”
"Yikes!" the people let out a voice of surprise. looked at each other and suddenly realized.
The famous [Tomahawk] Legion ranks second among the five major legions of the Empire. has always been a descendant of Prime Minister Donald. Its strength is a very heavy weight for the power scale between the royal family and the prime minister.
On the surface, it seems to be a marriage contract between the royal family and Farrington, but in fact, His Majesty Edward and His Majesty the Empress must have wanted to use this to win over the [Tomahawk] legion to the royal family. Even if it doesn't work, at least let the prime minister bury a thorn in his heart, or let Duke Renault remain neutral at a critical moment.
In this way, the inside story of the tragedy more than ten years ago is about to come out.
Obviously, such a situation is absolutely intolerable for Prime Minister Donald and the Holy Church. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, Sarah's death and Roy's disappearance must have something to do with the Holy Church and Donald.
"Roy's whereabouts are unknown, presumably dead. Poor Princess Eretia."
The bard picked up the harp, plucked it slightly, listened to the melodious strings disappear, and sighed: "My fiancé is missing, but the engagement is still there." In summary, Princess Eretia has been the granddaughter-in-law of Duke Renault since birth. According to tradition, she needed the consent of the Duke of Reynaud to break the marriage contract or marry someone else. Others, on the other hand, can also propose directly to the Duke of Renault."
"What about Duke Roland? It stands to reason that Princess Ellethia should be from the [Hanshan] family. The aunt said in a hurry just now.
"The Duke of Roland had not approved of Roger's marriage to Sara from the beginning," the bard shook his head and did not continue.
The aunt muttered angrily: "Duke Renault agreed?
"The one who proposed the marriage, the Renault family wanted to agree immediately," the bard snorted coldly: "But the princess didn't say anything, His Majesty Edward was also angry, and the nobles and lords had their own plans." Therefore, according to tradition, this competition was held. However, this is no different from promising that person. ”
"Who's that man?" exclaimed a merchant.
"The most gifted dragon knight ever seen by the Templars, the future heir to the Duke family of the Golden Dragon," the bard looked down at his harp, "Lord Augustus. ”
"Huh?!" the merchant opened his mouth wide, and everyone next to him couldn't help but gasp.
The big guys looked at each other and fell silent.
If it was the handsome and elegant genius dragon knight who radiated like the sun, it was really as the bard said, it made no difference whether it was a competition or not.
It can be said that, except for the lack of a process and the lack of a public announcement, Eretia is actually the wife of Augustus, the duchess of the Duke's family of [Golden Dragon].
The end is already doomed.
Everyone was still a little angry, but now they feel that maybe this is the best ending.
A beauty like Princess Ellethia is only worthy of a genius like Augustus!
In the crowd, two boys looked at each other.
Tom was a little uncomfortable.
He admired the Knights Templar the most, and always regarded Augustus as an idol, but he always felt that Augustus was not very upright.
And Roy shook his head, thinking hard in his heart, that [Roy], who could have married the first beauty of the Solan Empire, must be the biggest unlucky guy in the world, right?!
My father and mother died, my grandfather didn't care, my grandfather's family still groveled to follow the enemy, and my fiancée became someone else's fiancée
Oh my God, the first beauty!
This unlucky bastard!
