Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Treasure of the Kingdom of Eileen

As the sun sets, the waves crash, and a beautiful twilight falls over the bay of the island of Ireland.

The island of Ireland, located in the northwest of Europe, covers an area of 84,000 square kilometers and is the second largest island in the British Isles.

The whole island is shrouded in a verdant green forest, so people are accustomed to calling it "emerald".

The elves carried a stretcher, and on it was their prince Liam.

The elves walked ahead and played strange tunes on the melodica, and more and more leprechauns in green hats came up, and William followed behind them towards the location of the last treasure of the Kingdom of Irrin.

The dwarves were once the soldiers of the kingdom of Erin, with a total of 3,000 people, and were the last elite, because Prince Liam escaped from the battle during the decisive battle, led everyone to escape to the underworld, and established a different world, so Prince Liam and his army became dwarf elves.

The prince, like all the dwarves, was forbidden by a curse because of their escape, so they were originally responsible for guarding the last treasures of the kingdom, and as long as someone was willing to lead them back to the kingdom, they could get the treasures hidden by the dwarves.

However, except for Prince Liam, who is more special, the other dwarves have taken the form of children, wearing green clothes and green hats, and in folklore, people often deliberately capture the elves and then lie to him that they are going to rebuild the kingdom of Irene in order to defraud the elves of their money.

However, in such an obvious game, there are still Irish leprechauns who believe it, which is really laughable.

Humans become elves not only to gain benefits, but also to very large restrictions, just like Liam can no longer be promoted after escaping.

"I have a question, why did you let Mr. Green go to the Sage Council!"

Lily walked on the road, her steps were light, her whole body seemed to be lifted by the breeze, and on closer inspection, her feet did not seem to be on the ground.

Fourth-order, the realm of the gods, in Greek mythology, flying is the privilege of the gods, even if it is a fourth-order human, it is impossible to have the ability to fly.

"For, the clergy, the nobles, and the knights of the Council of the Magi are my friends."

William walked on the grass and whispered as he followed behind the elves.

"Friends?" Lily's face was full of shocked friends.

"The Council of the Wise exists because of the king, and the council is convened because the king needs it, so there must be a king if their interests are to be protected, and it doesn't matter who this king is."

The Council of the Magi is not often held, it is the king's advisory body, which gathers the great nobles, clergy and local representatives of the whole country, and has executive, judicial, and legislative powers, but it is only presented because the king needs it, so if the king does not need it, the Council of the Magi has nothing to meet.

"The Council of the Magi elected their leader, Harold, Earl of Wessex, as king, so for William, Duke of Normandy, King Harold and the Council of the Magi were his enemies, and my enemies were also Duke William, and the enemies of my enemies were friends."

"Isn't that too much to take for granted?"

"So many people have made claims to the throne of England, and the power of the Council of the Wise cannot really determine the ownership of the throne, so force is an absolute force, whether it is the king of Norway, the Duke of Normandy, the Duke of Brittany, and the king of England, Harold can take out more than 10,000 troops at will, and my strength is the weakest, and I am the most suitable."

"It is not wise to embrace the weak, shouldn't the people of the Council of the Wise embrace the strongest, the victor?"

Lily's confused appearance is so cute, and the beautiful girl is so cute at all times.

Beautiful, mild-mannered, and gifted, he is in a sense a very suitable partner.

"All the nobles who claimed to be eligible to inherit the throne, among them, William, Duke of Normandy, was the strongest, with the support of the Pope and the Emperor, and at the same time had a very close relationship with King Edward, it is said that King Edward promised William to become the King of England during his lifetime, why did the Council of the Magi not only not choose Duke William, but also did not choose the nobles who were closer to King Edward, but chose a Harold who had nothing to do with the royal family."

William's questioning was so sharp that Lily couldn't answer it, as an immortal, she had wisdom, but not political wisdom.

Just like the scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers in history must have higher IQs than politicians and entrepreneurs, but there are very few people with business and political talents.

"Because Harold was an Anglo-Saxon, and William, Duke of Normandy, was a Norman (Viking), they were not willing to accept Duke William as King of England."

"Why, then, did you support me, a German, to become King of Ireland?"

"It's different!"

"No, it's the same."

"What Duke William is an illegitimate son and unworthy of being the king of England These are actually just excuses, Duke William is a Norman, so the British with the Anglo-Saxons at the core do not welcome him, let alone a reason."

"What's that?"

"Those who have read and have been educated are all high priests and nobles, and they are all wise men, and therefore they are all the nucleus of the Council of the Mages, but in order to dominate the country it is not enough to rely on the king and the wise men in the Council of the Mages, so it is necessary to use some stupid, uneducated and coarse illiterate knights, and in order to deal with these fools, it is absolutely impossible for the wise men to tell them the truth, and they must use illegitimate children who cannot inherit the throne, which is the rule laid down by the teachings of Jesus Christ, Hypnotize them in the form of religion to make them think that it was right to reject Duke William. ”

William said in a non-startling manner that the ethics of the Christian church stipulated that Adam could only have one legal wife, Eve, and therefore monogamy was the cornerstone of human social ethics, even for kings.

In Eastern countries, the emperor or king could maintain a huge court with countless concubines to inherit the throne for himself.

However, in Christendom, the king is a divine king, so it is all the more necessary to follow God's rule that there is only one legitimate wife and queen, and only the son born to the legitimate wife is the legitimate heir of the kingdom.

For example, Edward the Confessor was able to inherit the throne because of the son of Cnut the Great, and now the British War of Succession is due to the heir of Edward the Confessor.

King Henry VIII of England spent his whole life worrying about the question of heirs, Henry VIII married 6 wives, developed countless lovers, and gave birth to countless illegitimate children, but in the end it was "severed" - the throne had to fall into the hands of distant cousins, resulting in the Tudor dynasty being replaced by the Stuart dynasty.

An illegitimate child cannot be considered a legitimate son at all.

So some people often wonder why Western princesses can succeed to the throne, the reason is that the king has no son, and even if he has a son, he is an illegitimate child who is not qualified to inherit the throne, and he doesn't want to be cheap to outsiders, so he has to let his daughter succeed to the throne.

"Then why did the Council of the Magi refuse Duke William to become king!"

"Because these are just slogans against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, just like Amitabha."

William chuckled in his heart and thought, the "anti-Qing and Ming" movements that overthrew the Qing Dynasty during the Manchu Dynasty came and went, did Ming fans really think that these people were nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty?

Wrong, it was completely the Manchu Qing Dynasty who entered the customs and seized the Ming Dynasty, and robbed the Han people's land, silver and women, which is not a national contradiction at all, but a class contradiction.

"Edward the Confessor, although he is an Anglo-Saxon, but he grew up living in Normandy, his mother is also Norman, and his cronies and ministers are all Normans, and the power of the country is held by the Normans, which undoubtedly makes the British very dissatisfied, because the power is owned by the powerful, and naturally these Normans will also make a fortune in England, infringing on the interests of the British, such as land. Therefore, as soon as Edward the Confessor died, all the Normans were driven out by the Council of the Magi, and Duke William was a Norman, so in order to rule England, he had to use more of his own cronies, who were also Normans. ”

William sneered and said softly.

Is illegitimate children a reason? Of course not.

Is it the reason that Duke William was a French Norman and therefore not treated well by the British? Of course not.

Can you reconcile with Duke William now?

There is no way to betray King Harold.

Did Duke William bring an army of 12,000?

Not at all, these are 12,000 masters, all of whom want to follow their monarch, Duke William, to England to grab land, silver, and women.

Duke William became king of England, and these Norman soldiers were bound to become knights of the king, acquiring a large amount of land in England as a fiefdom.

If Duke William wants to be rewarded, he must take out the rewarded land, so where to take it, it must not be taken from his own territory, it must be these great nobles who oppose his succession to the throne and the Council of the Magi confiscated the land to reward.

This is also the reason why Duke William is called the conqueror, and I am not here to inherit the throne, but to conquer England.

Therefore, William, the Earl of Avalon, the advantage of the empty king is manifested.

The Duke of Brittany, the Duke of Normandy, and the King of Norway are not big families, and they all want to make a fortune in England, and only I, Commander of Earl William, need you loyal ministers to serve me well.

William the Beautiful, this title sounds harmless to humans and animals, and the Conqueror, the Brave, and the Red Beard (a blood-stained beard) sounds terrifying, am I not right to be a puppet king?

"Earl Beauty, we have arrived, this is where we used to hide gold with the prince."

A leprechaun suddenly pointed to the swamp ahead, interrupting William's reverie.

The treasure of the kingdom of Guirin has finally been found.
