The French Cathedral is the largest church in the French Empire, and it is said to be a church, but in fact, if you include the peripheral organizations, it covers an area of more than 100,000 square meters, and there are military buildings such as city walls and fortresses, it is like a country within a country.

Because this church is not only a religious site, but also an elite team of thousands of Knights Templar is stationed in it. Their mission was to spy on the Imperial Family, and even carry out decapitation operations if necessary.

Considering that in addition to law enforcement organizations such as the Inquisition in the capital of a country, there are also paramilitary bases such as the Cathedral of Fran, and it is impossible for any dignified emperor to accept such humiliation. This should be placed in ancient China if they dared to despise imperial power like this, and it is estimated that the nine clans will be slaughtered several times.

But this is indeed a common thing on the continent of Europa, where the Holy See claims to be the spokesman of God and does not interfere in any secular affairs. But in reality, the emperor did not dare to disobey any of their decisions, and could only submit to the authority of the Holy See.

If he wanted to change this situation, except for the great unity and concentration of forces, Duke really couldn't think of how to defeat the Holy See. However, there is no emperor Qin Shi Huang on the continent of Europa, so naturally there is no so-called idea of great unification. In fact, if the Holy See is not regarded as a theocracy, in a sense, the continent of Europa can be regarded as a great unification.

Princess Gina met her teacher Andre in the Cathedral of France, as the head of the Templar Order, André had a strong figure, the characteristic beard of a medieval man, but his appearance was not rude, but had a sense of elegance.

Because although the Templars are a theocratic army, their selection criteria must be noble knighthoods. That is to say, they are first a nobleman, and then a clerical knight, which is completely different from many knights in the Teutonic Order, which are divided according to the difference in arms.

So Andrei received an aristocratic education, so it is not surprising that he has such an elegant temperament.

Seeing Princess Jina's sullen appearance, with Andre's level, he naturally knew why, in fact, he liked Jina, a princess student, who was talented and intelligent and did not have the high sense of superiority of the ordinary royal family, which was more in line with the concept of the Light God Sect Master's love for the world.

"Jena, are you still struggling about marriage?"

Hearing Andre's inquiry, Ji Na just pouted and didn't answer, but changed the topic and said: "Teacher Andre, can the date of the spring enrollment of the Martial Arts Academy be graced for a few more days, Duke has already promised to rush to the imperial capital quickly." You also know that Stormfort is far from the Imperial Capital, and there is no way he can get there so quickly. ”

Andre didn't expect Princess Jina to actually say this, this little lord called Duke, is it more important than Princess Jina's troubles about marriage?

"Jena, I've made an exception to promise you to recruit this Duke, and the spring enrollment date has been postponed repeatedly. But it's already summer, and he hasn't come to the imperial capital yet, and since he doesn't pay so much attention to the Martial Arts Academy, I won't accept such a student. ”

Hearing Andre's answer, Gina was a little anxious, and this time she hurried to Fran Cathedral because of Duke's enrollment. Because as time passed, the date of the empire's spring enrollment had closed, and the teacher Andre had extended it for a few days for his sake, but Duke still didn't show up.

This made Gina a little impatient, so she could only keep asking her teacher for a few more days of grace and assuring that Duke would come. But day by day, Duke is still gone, yesterday all the students of the Martial Arts Academy have completed the pre-school test, the classes and dormitories have been allocated, and Duke wants to temporarily insert himself into the Martial Arts Academy, it will be a little difficult for him to face the princess.

"Teacher Andre, you promise me this time, he is really a very smart and powerful lord, Storm Castle has changed a lot in his hands, and even resisted the attack of the Ice Demon. Trust me, Duke won't let you down. ”

Seeing Jina like this, Andre smiled and patted her head and said, "Little Jina, with your strong character, you rarely help a person like this, is this Duke very special to you?"

"No, he just saved me, so I just want to repay him!"

As if she had been poked by something, Ji Na quickly retorted, and Andre saw her excited look, but just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

"I finally gave him three days, if he can't come to the martial arts academy to report, even if he is a genius, I won't accept it anymore, because I don't like students who don't have a sense of time and credibility. ”

"I see, thank you, teacher!"

Hearing Andre's relief, Gina bowed happily and thanked him, and then smiled as if she had let go of a concern.

......

Gina bought the last three days for Duke, but Duke's side was still unhurried and not in the slightest worry about whether he could enter the martial arts academy.

"Your Excellency, in front of you is the Imperial Capital of Farland. ”

Fei Duo pointed to a large city in the distance and said to Duke, and from this perspective, he could already see the majestic walls of the imperial capital.

This time, Duke didn't plan to let Fedor escort him, because after he left, Storm Castle needed a military commander to prevent emergencies. However, Alan and Cassel insisted on Fei Duo to go with him, because his high-level swordsman's strength could ensure Duke's safety. In addition, the establishment of the second regiment is complete, and there are no new recruits to reduce the combat effectiveness, so it is not a big problem for Fei Duo to leave for a while.

Duke raised his head and looked at the imperial capital in the distance, unlike the castle-like cities of ordinary lords, the imperial capital of France was more like a boxy super city like China, with tall walls built to enclose the city. When he saw this scene, many of the previously dusty memories in his mind began to emerge, and seriously Duke was more familiar with the imperial capital than Stormcastle, which was where he really lived and grew up.

"I'm back again!" Duke muttered as the line came to his mind.

"Your Excellency, who is Hu Hansan?"

When Fei Duo next to him heard the name, he asked Duke suspiciously.

"I am a friend of the imperial capital, you don't know. Duke casually found a reason to cover up the past, anyway, he really has a lot of fox friends in the imperial capital.

"The Great Witch, is that the imperial capital, it's really majestic. ”

Rose on the side also sighed at this time, she was different from Duke, she was a country girl, and she had seen the grandeur of the imperial capital for the first time.

"Yes, this is the imperial capital. Hera replied with a complicated expression, quite meaningful.
