Chapter 192 Conflict looms
readx;
Suspected of murdering the bishop of the region, this crime is very great, you must know that although the Church of Holy Grace is not the state religion in West, there are many believers and great power. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even if someone looks at them unpleasantly, they only complain a few words in private, but they still never really tear their faces and do it to the people of the church. But now, there is a murder of the bishop of the region? This is a little shocking, but in addition to the shock, there is also some doubt. You must know that such a thing is a big deal, and it is impossible that there is no news at all. But at present, many nobles live in the royal city for a long time, and there is no reason why they can't hear the slightest rumor. And this time, it wasn't until the people of the Church of Holy Grace opened their mouths that they didn't know about it, isn't it too strange?
"What a guts!"
At this moment, a soldier of the royal city guard had already shouted angrily.
"Lord Yulian was ordered by His Majesty the King to come to the Royal City to report on important military affairs! Under the protection of the Royal City Guards, even the Church of Holy Grace cannot arrest people at will! If you want to arrest people, wait until you get His Majesty's official document first!"
Sure enough, hearing this, the surrounding nobles also frowned. Although there are many church believers among them, they are also nobles after all, and their elbows will not be turned outward. Since this young noble lord came by order of the king, if he was arrested in front of the public, it would be a very heavy blow to the prestige of the royal family. You know, this is a royal city after all! No matter what the reason, if other forces are allowed to arrest people in the royal city at will, what is the use of a royal family that even the royal city cannot control?
"We have come by order of the archbishop. ”
However, it was clear that the four men had no intention of leaving, and one of them raised his head indifferently and looked at the soldier in front of him.
"The Archbishop's order is absolute, and no matter what obstacles we encounter today, we will escort him back to the Church to accept the verdict of Holy Mana!"
And with these words, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense. The nobles all stared at the four people in front of them in disbelief, and they were surprised in their hearts. Could it be that the Church of Holy Grace really wants to challenge the royal authority at this time?
"Don't even think about it!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Wangcheng Guards also glared angrily, they were usually high in the Wangcheng, when had they received this kind of bird's spirit? And now, hearing the answers of these people from the Church of Holy Grace, the soldiers led by them immediately made a gesture, and soon, the Wangcheng soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the station also immediately surrounded and protected Yulian and Offariel in it. Right now, it's not just the two of them. In fact, the Royal City Guards don't necessarily have any good feelings for Yulian that deserves them to do this, but now, these damn Church of Divine Grace guys are already suspected of insulting the royal family, which they absolutely can't accept!
"Those who resist the archbishop's orders will be severely punished!"
Seeing these soldiers surrounding, the four clergymen picked up the scepter in their hands in unison, and the spar inlaid at the top exuded a soft and divine brilliance at this moment. Then, a powerful, divine aura mixed with divine power began to spread around the four of them.
What a strong force!!
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, the nobles had already taken refuge to the side, after all, neither the Royal City Guards nor the Church of Holy Grace were easy to mess with. So it's better to be on the sidelines. At this moment, some well-informed nobles had already turned their suspicious eyes on Yulian, who was surrounded by heavy guards.
You must know that at present, Yulian can be regarded as the most familiar stranger to the nobles in the entire royal city.
It is very simple to say that he is strange, basically no nobles in the royal city have seen him, so he is naturally very strange. But it would not be wrong to say that he is familiar. Although Yulian has not appeared for a long time, what he has done has already been rumored in the royal city, and it is rumored that he has several powerful subordinates, and in the conflict with the Mobis family, he even sent a team of dragon knights to completely kill the private soldiers of the Mobis family!
If in the past, the nobles still had a trace of suspicion and joke about the rumors about this young man, then after this incident, they would never think so again. After all, many of them also sent troops to join the aristocratic coalition, and it was easy to get detailed information from their own subordinates. Moreover, the previous anger of the Mobis family was also seen by many people, which indirectly proved the real surname of this rumor. So, after that, many of the great nobles put a lot of effort into gathering information and intelligence about the young noble lord. Of course, although as the lord of the Yulian nobles, he can't be compared with these big nobles at all, but you must know that the knight level, even the subordinates of the dragon knight level, looking at the entire kingdom, there is no big nobleman who has such strength.
So, what is the matter with His Majesty calling him this time?
Thinking of this, these nobles began to observe Yulian more and more carefully, to see how he would react. After all, they all knew very well what the current situation was on the border of the kingdom, and the army of the Sith Empire was outside the borders, and it was still a question whether they could prevent it. If there is any friction between this young noble lord and His Majesty the King, then there will be another enemy in plain detail, which is naturally not what the great nobles want to see. Therefore, it is always right to carefully observe the characteristics of the surname of this young noble lord and plan for the future.
Sensing the gaze of the nobles, the corners of Youlian's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug smile.
It wasn't the best start I expected, but it wasn't bad......... Just take this opportunity, but it's not bad.
Thinking of this, Yulian tilted his head and asked.
"Miss O'Fariel, in the royal city, can the Church of Grace arrest people at will?"
Yu Lian's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, the young people were still a little unimpressed, and those slightly older onlookers were instantly shocked at this moment, they immediately looked at the slender figure standing next to Yu Lian, wrapped in a black cloak, and there was a faint nervousness in their hearts, although they themselves didn't know what they were nervous about.
“..................”
Hearing Yuren's inquiry, Ofariel's breath stagnated, and she naturally understood that Yuren didn't just want this answer. She subconsciously raised her head and looked into Yulian's eyes, and then, after a moment of silence, sighed slightly.
"According to the Baroque Treaty between the Kingdom and the Church, the Church of Holy Grace must first submit an application to His Majesty the King for the arrest of our people in the royal city, under whatever name and in whatever manner, and after confirmation, the arrest can only be carried out in the presence of the royal generals. Otherwise............"
As she spoke, O'Faryl removed the hood that covered her face.
"Even if it violates the laws of the royal family, it will be severely punished according to the circumstances of the behavior, and it will not be tolerated. ”
And with Ofariel's appearance, everyone who had been watching from the side gasped in unison.
Those who didn't know O'Fariel were amazed at her beauty and boldness. And those who know Ofaril are even more shocked by the thunderbolt from the blue.
Divine grace reigns, isn't this Her Royal Highness Princess O'Faryl? Didn't she die thirty years ago?
For a moment, everyone was speechless, and they looked at each other with strange expressions, trying to get some information from the people around them. But everyone is the same, and they certainly can't be mistaken. The girl at the moment, whether it is her appearance, conversation or demeanor, is exactly the same as the flower of the kingdom thirty years ago, and her beautiful long violet hair is even more fake. But isn't that princess already dead?
At present, some nobles with lively hearts have begun to wonder in their hearts, after all, when Ofaril died, no one saw the body, and it was only an empty coffin, and it was claimed that Her Royal Highness the princess had died in an accident. At the beginning, many people in the kingdom did not believe such a statement, and some big nobles united to write a letter, hoping that the royal family would investigate the matter thoroughly. However, due to a series of changes, the old king died and the new king ascended the throne, and this matter was slowly suppressed. It became a headless unsolved case. And now seeing this girl, the doubts in the hearts of many nobles began to shake again.
However, even if Princess O'Faryl really didn't die at the beginning, she is not young. And now this girl, although she looks exactly the same as Her Royal Highness the princess, but her age is completely incorrect?
What's going on here?
"Strong words. ”
And when they saw O'Fariel, the four people were also stunned, although they didn't necessarily know the rumors about Her Royal Highness the former princess, but what the other party said was reasonable, and the royal family and the church had indeed signed this treaty, but because there had been no similar problems for a long time, many people forgot the specific details of this treaty. Even the people who signed the treaty in the first place have probably forgotten about it now. But now how does this girl know? and, by the color of her hair...... Bloodline? That's a little tricky.
Thinking of this, three clergymen looked at their companion standing in the middle, and it was clear that he was the key person in deciding the matter.
"Leave her alone. ”
However, it was clear that the other party did not take Ofariel's words seriously.
"How can we take seriously what a little girl says? Holy grace, we are acting at the behest of the bishop, all for the favor of Holy Mana!"
"Holy grace is above!"
Now that the leader has made a decision, the other three no longer hesitate. And watching the situation on the field change again, the side of the Wangcheng Guards also gritted their teeth.
"Bunnies of the Church of Holy Grace, if you want to spread wild in the royal city, you are not qualified enough! Brothers, prepare a signal!"
For a time, the two sides were tense, and the momentum was tense to the extreme. Both sides looked at their leader, waiting for an order to start moving. The surrounding onlookers closed their mouths and stared at the sinister scene in front of them, completely out of shape, and didn't know what to do.
And at this moment, suddenly a blue flame fell from the sky, falling between the two forces with incomparable precision, and then formed a fierce wall of fire that extended. The scorching flames surged up, forcing both sides to take a few steps back.
Then, an old, majestic voice came from the sky.
"What kind of person dares to be so presumptuous in the royal city!"
Hearing this, everyone looked up and saw three people in black robes who were shrouded in shadows all over their bodies were floating in the air, staring coldly below. And when they saw the gold trim inlaid on their black robes, almost everyone was stunned.
Court Mage Guard?!
Now things are getting more and more troublesome!
Immediately, the question came to everyone's mind.
As we all know, the Society of Priests and the Church of Holy Grace are completely on the wrong path. Although the court mages are not members of the mage association, they represent the mages, and naturally they cannot have a good opinion of the church. Basically, the Church of Holy Grace has a huge influence because they are popular among the lower classes. There is nothing the ruler can do to them, or he risks jeopardizing his foundations. The influence of the Mage Association comes from the upper class, among the three major forces, the royal family and the Mage Association have always been very close, but they are very xenophobic to the Holy Grace Church. The reason is simple, the Mage Guild can provide the royal family with all kinds of improved magic technology, but the Church of Divine Grace has nothing to contribute except for the nonsense of "all beings are equal" and "Holy Mana's favor". Moreover, they also collect faith fees from believers but do not pay them publicly, so it can be said that there is no interest between the royal family and the Church of Holy Grace, and if there is an opportunity, the royal family is absolutely happy to completely eliminate this organization.
However, in fact, it is not that simple.
Although the influence of the Church of Holy Grace is very limited at the top, it has a very wide influence among the people at the bottom, and once it is attacked, it may cause national turmoil and even destruction. Moreover, the Church of Divine Grace still has the ability to "create" the Knights of Divine Grace so far, although its strength is not as strong as that of the real knights, but it is beyond the scope of other forces to deal with, and they are also the only organization on the mainland that can form a knight order, and it is not easy to attack them.
The headache for the mages is that although they are very popular with the upper class, the lower class people have always regarded mages as powerful monsters, so they have no way to make a move.
The royal family has power, and the mage is powerful, so the two are combined to deal with the Church of Holy Grace. In fact, this is true in many countries.
Although originally, the appearance of the royal mage should have relieved everyone, after all, if the opposite side is the Church of Holy Grace, then the mage will definitely not help. But you must know that the current situation is different, that young nobleman is not an ordinary person, but a guy who eliminated the private army of the Mobis family, and the Mobis family has always provided the royal family with a source of mages, so the relationship between the two sides has always been very close. Right now, the Mobis family will definitely not defend Yuren, so what is the attitude of these royal mages?
"We are the Guardians of the Royal City!"
Naturally, people on the other side of the Church of Grace would not answer the mage's questions, but not on the other side.
"We are currently carrying out the orders of His Majesty the King to escort the distinguished guests!"
"I see. ”
Hearing this, the three mages also flew down and stood in front of the royal city guards, they carefully looked at Yuren and Ofariel, and then nodded at them and spoke.
"Hello, Mr. Julien Felix, we are the palace mage guard, and we have come to welcome the two of you to the Mage Guild. ”
Hearing this, everyone present didn't know what to say, and those who looked at Yu Lian had even more complicated eyes, what did this young nobleman do? Why did the three forces want him? What is the situation now?
And the next speech of this court mage surprised everyone.
"This is a direct order from Archmage Larry Bod. ”
Hearing this, the members of the Wangcheng Guards, who were originally a little dissatisfied, didn't say anything anymore. After all, Larry Bode Archmage is the hero of the West Kingdom and the leader of the court mage team, although the two sides are slightly different, but they are both royal families, and he wants someone, so there is no problem.
"Larry Bo is looking for me?"
Hearing this, Yu Lian smiled, then lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Okay, I'm going with you, I hope you've prepared a comfortable journey for me. ”
"Of course. ”
The two sides asked and answered, completely leaving the people of the Church of Holy Grace on the side, and now, hearing that they were about to come to an agreement, the four clergy finally couldn't hold back anymore and walked up.
"You don't have the right to take him! he's a dangerous person wanted by our Church of Grace!"
"We have nothing to do with the Church of Holy Grace, so what do you have to do with us. ”
Hearing what the other party said, the mages also turned around and replied coldly.
However, at this moment, Yulian made an unexpected move.
He stretched out his hand, parted a path, stopped the mages from moving any further, and then, with a soft, graceful smile, he came to the four clergy.
"It was really an order of the archbishop to take me to trial. ”
"Of course, can there be fake?!"
"Good, good. ”
Hearing this, Yulian nodded, and then, a mysterious smile appeared on him.
"To be honest, I don't really like the term suspect. ”
“...............?”
Hearing that this young man suddenly changed the subject, many people present were a little surprised, and they couldn't understand what he was doing at all, only Ofaril sighed and lowered his head.
"This means that you are only suspicious, but it has not been determined. However, I hate being suspected, especially if it is unfounded......... So ............"
Saying this, Yulian raised his head.
"Since you've said so, I'm more than happy to make this accusation well-deserved. ”
As soon as the words fell, a black light suddenly slid through Yu Lian's waist and waved towards the four people in front of him like thunder and lightning.
Yulian has made a move!!
In the face of this sudden attack, the four clergy were a little caught off guard, they did not expect that this young nobleman would dare to make a direct attack in front of the public in the hall, without the slightest hesitation. And when they reacted, the snow-white sword light had already reached their chests.
"Drink!!"
However, known as the arbiter, there are always a few brushes, and at the same time that Yulian's sword light burst out, the four clergy also shouted angrily, and then, a faint barrier shrouded their bodies, isolating this sudden attack.
Unfortunately, this is just an illusion.
At this moment, the sword light that was originally flying changed instantly, and the white sword that was originally sweeping scattered and rushed towards the target in front of him. And after the barrier of the four people came into contact with this stormy sword light, it was like a fragile eggshell, shattered in an instant.
"Wow!!"
After losing their protection, the four people no longer had any strength left, only heard a scream, and in an instant, there were already three more bloody corpses on the ground. And the only survivor has also had his hands cut off, his whole body was scarred, and at this moment he fell to the ground with a pale face, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Yulian in fear.
Not only him, but even the soldiers of the royal city guards, the nobles who were onlookers, and even those mages all looked at Yulian in surprise at this moment. He actually did it so directly? And three dead and one injured in one fell swoop? You know, these clergy are not ordinary people, they are the arbiters of the Inquisition, and they have at least the strength of the Central Mage, and now, just like this? Just like that, they fell down at once? Holy grace is above, these are not paper dummies?!
What is this man's strength, and what is his origin?
"Go back and tell your archbishop. ”
Yu Lian's slender fingers gently caressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if the pitch-black long sword had never been pulled out. His voice remained steady, soft, and unaltered, as if greeting an old friend.
"I don't want to have such boring troubles again, and if something like this happens again, then I don't mind visiting my home in person. I think he should know the consequences. If he forgets, then I have to reluctantly make it difficult for him to remember it again. ”
Saying this, Yu Lian turned around and looked at the old mage beside him, once again revealing the elegant smile of the nobleman.
"Well, then, please lead the way, Mr. Mage. ”
