Chapter 231: The Lords Meet
Lukka didn't expect the Knights of the Seas to be involved in this war, but it's hard to imagine that they're joining the Empire's side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The alliance between Joseph Mores, the current Lord of the Sea Knights, and Taylor can be described as unbreakable, and he wants to make the Knights defect unless Mores is excluded.
Is it possible for the Knights to expel their lords?
Of course, there is another possibility: the position of the Knights of the Sea has not changed, and only a small group of knights have split off.
However, judging from Luca's observations, it is very unlikely that such a situation will occur in the knightly order with a clear hierarchy, and it is also a question mark whether the exiled who has left the knighthood can still have the power of knights.
Either possibility, it leads to at least one question that Luca himself could not answer.
Fortunately, he still has someone to ask about the Sea Knight.
He called one of his servants: "Get Daniel and say I'm in a hurry." ”
The servants looked embarrassed, and none of the henchmen brought by the lord had their own unique skills, and none of them liked to stay in their rooms honestly, trying to find them from Tata Island, and they might not succeed if they broke their legs.
Lukka had to add: "Daniel is easy to find, he is either fighting with people in the tavern on the west side, or wrestling with people at the docks, if there are no two places, you can go around the cemetery on the north side, shout at the tombstones, maybe he will come out." ”
Half an hour later, Daniel arrived at Luca's study, still drowsy.
"Why do you have to call me over at noon?" I am still taking a nap in the cemetery!" he asked, rubbing his eyes.
"You don't sleep a little less as a ghost, does it? But I don't understand why you would want to sleep in that kind of place. Luca said.
"Didn't I get a taste of the afterlife of the inhabitants of the shore? My country was buried at sea in the past, and it was quite fresh to see the cemetery. Daniel said, picking up a bottle of ale and pouring it down his throat.
"You listen to me before you drink. Lukka snatched the bottle.
After listening to what Luca said, Daniel was also stunned for a long time about the rebellion of the Knights of the Sea in this war.
"Why don't you take a sip of wine to suppress the fright?" Lukka handed the bottle back.
"No, you make me think about it. What did you just ask?" Daniel scratched his head.
"First question, if the Sea Knight is banished by the Knights, will he still be able to use the power of the Knight?" Lukka asked.
Daniel nodded affirmatively: "As long as it doesn't violate the laws of knighthood, don't you see if I'm an example?"
"Also, is the Knight Lord for life, is it to retire or is there another way to change people?" Lukka asked again.
"It's not for life, it's usually the previous lord who appoints the heir. There's only one case—"
Before Daniel could finish his sentence, a fist-sized stone flew from the street, smashed the glass of the study window and fell to the ground, and the clammy sea breeze immediately blew into the house.
"Who's making trouble at the lord's quarters!" shouted the guards downstairs and rushed out.
Underneath the window of the study is a relatively secluded path that leads to the back door of the station. Normally, there are almost no people here, except for horse-drawn carriages that carry goods before dawn.
Together with Daniel, Lukka walked over to the broken window and looked down.
Now, on the stone path, stood a figure hidden in a large cloak, judging by his height, he should be an adult man, he also wore a large wide-brimmed hat on his head, his face was also tightly hidden under the hat, and he held another stone in his hand, and threw it upwards a few times, as if he wanted to make another shot.
The heavily armed garrison guards rushed out the back door, encircling him in an instant.
The man looked around unhurriedly, not even bothering to touch the long sword at his waist.
"Now, can you take me to your lord?" a familiar voice came into Luka's ears.
"Don't do it, bring him here!" Daniel shouted as he leaned out of the window and rushed down.
"Don't come to the study, go to the next reception room!" Lukka added, not because there was anything unsightly in the study, but because of the winter, there was a hole in the window, and the cold wind kept pouring in, and his nose was already itching.
The reception room was next door, and after the man walked in, he unceremoniously picked the most comfortable sofa and sat down, and pointed to the tense guards behind him.
Lukka waved his hand to let the guard leave, and the man breathed a sigh of relief, took off the hat on his head, and thumped his leg on the coffee table, saying, "It's hard to see you!"
"Is there a rule!" Daniel knocked his leg down with his scepter.
"Don't get close, Lord Mores. Lukka sat down in front of him and said, "I was going to ask you to explain, what is the matter with the Knights of the Seas, and how did you get here?"
"I've been so tired of my journey, and you haven't even given me a saliva to ask questions?" said Mores, as he walked to the door, and said to his servant without a look, "Is there any wine? ”
"Before the sun goes down, the knight's law forbids lords to drink alcohol. Daniel unceremoniously sent the servant away and gave Mores a jug of water.
"I'm the 'former' lord now, and besides, I haven't seen you drink less!" Mores returned to the couch and sat down, and reluctantly took a large sip of water.
"Don't talk about it, you didn't just come to my island to ask for wine, did you?" asked Luca.
"Of course not, where do I start? Well, to put it simply, I was banished by the Knights. Mores said.
"Can the lord still be banished?" Lukka suddenly felt that his "pirate lord" was not very secure.
Mores shook his head: "Not usually, there is only one situation in the law of knighthood, where a lord can be reappointed, but that kind of thing never thinks that it will really happen." ”
"What's going on?" Lukka asked.
Daniel preemptively said, "Before he broke the glass, I was about to say it." ”
"Then you say. Mores buried himself in water.
"When the slut of Merseth himself issued an oracle, the lord of the Order chose the oracle. Daniel involuntarily wrinkled his nose at the name.
That way, everything can be explained. Lukka leaned back on the couch and sighed.
"Explained, explained?" Mores looked up and looked at Luca in confusion.
Then, he suddenly understood: "Did the Knights do something terrible after I left?"
