Chapter 34: The Summons
(PS: Thanks to the following readers for their tips: @HKJYK, @郑陶; thank you~~)
Knights' Residence, Conference Room
Eight royal guardian knights are firmly guarded here, and the entire conference room is majestic and silent;
Prince Charles Torrell has the royal family's characteristic blonde hair, and thanks to his long-term knightly training, his skin is a healthy wheat color, and his angular cheeks are full of masculine charm;
Now he sat on the main seat, his fingers tapping lightly on the long wooden table:
"Bang!bang!bang!". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info。。
Earl Bruce Wiley glanced cautiously at the first prince, and then glanced at Sir Tari Huffman on the other side;
Sir Huffman blinked, then turned to say:
"Your Highness, that's the way it is, what the church means is that it hopes that the royal family can give them ten knights' estates"
"But I think it should be a way to make them less dependent on territory!"
Prince Charles held his forehead:
Theocracy! What a troublesome thing! Especially when their power grows stronger!
If this time the matter is not handled well, the power of the church's theocracy will be even stronger, and it will be difficult to tell whether Hongshan County is the church or the royal family at that time!
Not to mention the holy city of the Earth Church in the northern part of the county!
Why did the royal family move from Sunrise City to the current royal capital?
In fact, in order to avoid the powerful influence of the church, the king at that time was worried that if the divine power and the royal power continued to stay together, the royal family would eventually become a vassal of the church, so he made the decision to move the capital!
At the time, it was a very wise choice, at least until now, the royal family was still independent, and even had a strong influence within the kingdom, and at the same time had great power;
It's just that anything that is good has disadvantages at the same time:
It was also during this time that the Church developed enormously, and their power expanded even faster than the royal family had accumulated;
And this time, the total annihilation of the Knights of Glory is likely to bring a series of serious consequences!
What I have to do is to suppress this turmoil as much as possible! It is best to return to the pre-war state!
Thinking so, Prince Charles turned to Count Wiley:
"Count, how many knights do our Knights of Glory still have, and how long will it take to fill the shortfall?" Let's see how much power we can use;
Earl Willie's heart tightened, and he stood up, bowed down, and said in a whisper:
"There are still 5 members of the original Knights, all of whom are level 5 knights, and I will immediately add 9 people after the war!"
"It will take time to add up!" he continued:
"However, I have already put many prospective knights on the candidate list, and as soon as they are officially promoted to level 5 knights, they will be able to fill in the knights immediately!"
There are only 9 knights! Even with the addition of Count Willie and Hu Lie, there are only 11 knights or above!
Prince Shire's brow furrowed even tighter!
As for the quasi-knights that Count Willie is talking about? What is that?! There is no level 5! There is no fighting spirit! It's just cannon fodder on the battlefield, it's not worth mentioning!
At this time, his heart moved, and it seemed that there was a knight, so he asked:
"I remember in your paperwork you mentioned a hereditary knight named Seta Finney, what is he like, is he a member of the Order?"
"Returning to His Highness, it is Serene Serr Seta Fanaan Feeney," Sir Huffman stood up and explained:
"He is a nobleman from Maple Leaf County in the south, he used to be a commoner, and later he became a nobleman because of the merit of killing demons, plus he broke through to level 5, and now he is a level 6 knight."
"He was resisted by many local nobles for some reason, so under the persuasion of some people, he came to our Hongshan County to help fight demons!"
"In fact, he did make a great contribution in this operation!" said this, turning his head to Count Wiley:
"Your Excellency the Earl knows this even better!"
When Count Willie saw that the prince turned his head to look at him, he hurriedly said:
"That's true, Your Highness!"
"The Abyssal Altar was destroyed by Ser Finney, a very brave knight," he added after a pause:
"Even, I think he has the potential to become a high-ranking knight!"
Prince Shire's eyebrows furrowed slightly:
Genius?
The man had already piqued his interest and commented:
"What a very inspirational story of a commoner who broke through his limits by slaying demons and eventually became a nobleman?"
"Can you absorb him into the Knights?"
"Your Highness, he once refused my invitation," said Count Wiley, who understood what the prince meant, and wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"He should still have concerns, but can I try again?"
Charles frowned and said:
"Since you refused, forget it"
What are the concerns? Naturally, it is a concern between the royal nobles and the local nobles, since they hesitate about this, there is no need to invite them again;
Although the royal family needs talents, it will not be condescending for the sake of a small big knight!
Even if this matter was skipped, Prince Charles thought about it for a while, turned his head and ordered:
"Sir Huffman, help me arrange a meeting with His Excellency the Holy Knights, and we will take care of the aftermath as soon as possible."
Sir Huffman stood up, bowed and explained:
"Your Highness, Your Excellency Fried has returned to the Holy City, and now Bishop Hitt is in charge."
"Would you like to see you?"
"Bishop Hit?" said Prince Charles, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart;
It was still very stressful to meet a legendary Excellency, and now that the Excellency had returned to the Holy City, it was a good thing in Seta's eyes, so he smiled and nodded, and said:
"Yes, you can arrange the time, as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
。。。。。。
Everything went quickly, and under the urging of a prince, the aristocratic bureaucracy of Sunrise City was running with unprecedented efficiency;
After the war, the city was pacified and rebuilt, and everything became better with the sunrise city changing at a visible rate with the naked eye, the price of food falling, and the resumption of commercial activities.
And that's just the surface!
Beneath this façade, the agreement between the royal family and the church is being implemented day by day, and only when they are really implemented will everything be restored to its original state;
Of course, this return to the same state is only for ordinary people, for people in the upper class, everything has changed, and there is no going back to the past.
Rose Tavern, hall;
Seta cut a piece of roast meat and ate it, and asked:
"Pooh, the Plague is over, what are your plans next?"
Pooh shook his head and said:
"Depending on what the mentor means, there should be some time to stay in Sunrise City, because the demon plague here has just ended, and it is a good time to spread the faith."
"What about you, Lord Seta?"
Seta glanced at the young priest opposite and said casually:
"I'm going back to Maple Leaf County, after all, the demon here's over, I'll go back after the celebration."
During this time, the two of them often got together to eat and drink, and their friendship progressed rapidly;
As he was talking, he saw Moby walking over quickly and bowing:
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Pastor Pooh, good afternoon!" stood up and turned around, and said excitedly:
"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Prince has summoned you!"
Seta raised her head, slightly puzzled, but didn't have time to delay at this time and nodded to Pooh:
"Pooh, I'll go first!"
"We'll talk next time"
"Driving~driving~" rode quickly to the outside of the Knights' station:
"Phew!" turned over and dismounted;
Walking quickly to the gate of the station, he said to the guards:
"Summoned by His Royal Highness the Prince"
"Is it Sir Finney, come in, Your Highness the Prince is waiting for you!" said a knight dressed in bright silver plate armor with a small crown insignia on it, leading Seta inward;
Along the way, the knight whispered about the etiquette of meeting His Royal Highness, and Seta naturally expressed his gratitude for his hard work;
Soon, the two of them arrived at the original station hall, where the guards were much stronger than before, and a full 4 Fighting Knights were guarding here!
'The power of the royal family is really strong, it is actually a knight guarding the door!'
The knight who had led the way just now stepped forward and said something, and one of the gatekeepers shouted:
"Serene Thanian Finney Hereditary Sir See!"
"Come in!"
