Chapter 13: Badges and Diaries

readx; In the dimly lit room, Peter looked at the papers left by the old man he had inherited from Ratfar, by the faint candlelight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He couldn't understand many, many of them before, but now he can't say he understands them all, but most of them are still not difficult to understand. The document he now holds in his hand deals with the construction and composition of the Krent Empire's aristocracy during the Ducasse dynasty. Peter looked at the document to find out what he could tell about God.

It's a pity that he only saw the maintenance of the aristocratic system and the strict promotion standards for a long time, and he didn't find the information he wanted at all.

With a bitter sigh, he put down the papers in his hand and exhaled a breath of sullen air that had gathered in his chest. Peter leaned back in his chair and fell into thought. His left index finger unconsciously tapped the beat on the desk, and his right elbow rested on the arm of the chair, holding his fist against the back of his hand to support his cheeks.

After a long time, he shook his head irritably, stood up, and strode around the room a few times.

He sat down again, bent down and dug through a backpack that looked like it had been carefully kept in the locker under his desk. Peter searched through his backpack and pulled out a journal and a badge.

He first rubbed the day, gently placed it on the desk, and then carefully looked at the badge in his hand. This badge was the last time he saw the old man hand it to the Marquisess Maria's butler, and it was with this badge that the group was able to board the marquisess's huge ship and escape from the barbarian attack. Peter's mind raced to the past, and he remembered the scene again. From time to time, there is a smile or a sad expression.

He shook his head, holding all those feelings in his heart, waiting for the day when he touched them carefully.

Peter looked at the badge in his hand, the last time he had only glanced at the harbor without looking at it carefully, now he could observe it carefully. At the bottom of the badge is a shield with two crossed swords, and below the sword is the head of a stag, and the beautiful long antlers set off the atmosphere of the two crossed swords with a hint of glory. The base color of the shield is four-colored, with a blue on the bottom left, a purple on the bottom, and then white on the top right and yellow on the top.

Above the two crossed swords, at the top of the shield, there are two keys and a sword crossed. Peter didn't know what this meant. He vaguely guessed that it might be a sign of wealth.

Underneath the badge, in addition to the most conspicuous shield, there is a white owl on the left and a black eagle on the right. They both clawed at a leafy branch. And the shield was in the middle of them.

At the top of the badge is a golden lion, and on the right front paw looks like an oil can lit by a holy fire. The lion's tail curls up on its back, and it wears a red crown on its head. The lion stepped on a crown made of flowers, and underneath the crown was a knight's white metal helmet. The crown and helmet were lined with blue and yellow flowers like wings.

The shield silently held the knight's helmet, which held the crown, and above the crown was the lion with the red crown.

Peter couldn't help but be fooled when he saw this message. He remembered the document he had just seen about the aristocratic system of the Krent Empire. Now that he is combined with this badge, he can already understand the difficulty of establishing and promoting the nobility. If you follow the tradition of Krent's military merit, you will climb from the bottom to the top, and I don't know how many generations of effort and sacrifice will take you.

He let out a long sigh and was in no mood for a moment.

He had been stunned by Ratfar's sensationalist rhetoric, and he wanted to look through the documents only in order to find arguments to refute them. It's a pity that it's destined to disappoint him.

Peter didn't see gods, but he saw the rules, the sacrifices, the contracts, and the power that shook the hearts of the people in the documents and the badges.

He buried his head in the palm of his hand, and Peter couldn't believe that what he had thought was the truth was shattered. He didn't know how to deal with this force that could subvert his immature perception of the world. Ratfar's tone of astonishment and disdain and mockery kept whispering in his ear: "The monarchy is divinely ordained, who is God, who is God." ”

Peter did not know what the Holy See existed for if there was no Lord or no gods. Like a drowning man, he desperately wants to grasp any life-saving straw he can grasp.

He kept shouting and roaring in his heart that there must be a god, or what the Holy See was established for, and what the Holy See was for.

He threw the badge in his hand on the desk as if it were a hot potato. But when he threw it out, Peter froze again. He hurriedly threw himself in front of the desk and grabbed the badge that was still bouncing in his hand, and observed it in a panic. Wait until you are sure that there is no damage before you breathe a sigh of relief. Then carefully set it aside.

Peter reopened the diary of Father John, which had been read many times.

He looked at it from his head again, and he looked at it again, and watched as the tears rolled in his eyes but did not slip out.

Peter was so impressed by the power of Father John's personality that all the confusion and trepidation in his heart seemed to dissipate at once. Gradually, a smile appeared on Peter's lips, and he already felt a calm force in his heart, soothing the frightened heart, quieting and calming.

He hummed a cheerful tune in his mouth and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Eva woke up early to see Peter gesturing in the hallway. She looked at each other curiously.

Peter walked happily up and down the corridor, gesturing a very cumbersome pattern with his hand as he went. Eva looked at it for a long time and couldn't see what it was, she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and asked softly, "Peter, what are you doing?"

Peter looked back for a moment to find Eva, and he greeted Eva with a smile and a brisk greeting, and Eva saw that he seemed to be in a very happy mood, not as distracted as he had just come out of Ratfar yesterday.

Eva blinked, and although she didn't know how Peter had managed to adjust her mood to the way she was in one night, she was still happy from the bottom of her heart.

Peter came to Eva and said, "Eva, I've figured it out. It's useless to dwell on those illusory things now, and I might as well do something serious when I have the time. I think I'll always know later, and it's useless to be in a hurry now. ”

Eva only felt dazed, she nodded mechanically, not knowing how to respond to the other party.

Peter didn't care, he shook his fist hard before whispering, "The priority now is to gain strength, and then to protect the good in my heart." ”

On the other side of the hallway, Wren gently closed the door that he had pushed open, and he leaned back against the door to listen to Peter's voice, and he couldn't help but say, "Stupid." ”
