Chapter 61: The Holy Seal
"According to the rank of the Holy Seal, that is, the title system, from low to high, they are knightly squires, knights, barons, viscounts, earls, border counts, marquises, dukes, and the emperor who is most expected, but has not yet appeared, and the holy seal owned by the emperor is also called the emperor's holy seal, and the appearance of the emperor's holy seal in the legend means the end of the era of chaos."
Francis took a sip of his red wine and said with emotion, and there was a kind of envy in the gaze he cast at Baron Antonio, or everyone in this world envied the monarch.
"Weird, isn't it? In this world, in addition to the monarch, there are also evil tattoo envoys, and at the same time, there are also the most powerful magicians, why is it that only the monarch profession can be kings, and others can only be in the position of auxiliary, no matter how weak the monarch is, as long as he has the holy seal, he will be embraced as a lord, while the evil tattoo envoys and magicians who are stronger than the monarch can only assist him, isn't it?"
Wilhelm sensed that since ancient times, truth had only been within the range of a cannon, a famous quote from the German Chancellor Bismarck, who revealed the essence of power, that is, the foundation of rule is force.
It takes force to seize the world, and it also takes force to rule the world, and this world is neither the Pure Land of Bliss nor the Heaven, and a person who has no power at all cannot become a ruler.
Regardless of whether he is obese or not, resourceful or not, as long as his father is the monarch, as a descendant, it is possible to inherit his father's holy seal, title, territory, and people, and maybe he can rule smoothly, but it does not affect the truly capable people to seize the world.
The monarch can be the ruler, of course, but the Unholy Emblem and the Mage can also be the ruler.
"Didn't I tell you? The monarch is special, for example, although Acela can also defeat chaos and seal it in the flesh in the form of an evil streak, so as to destroy chaos, but only the monarch can use the holy seal to transform chaos into order and incorporate it into the holy seal, so the monarch can be the king, and the evil streak can only be used as a mercenary to assist them."
"Isn't that fair, isn't there really a king who is an evil tattoo? Why can a monarch only be a monarch and not be a mercenary? What is a magician?"
"Hey, William, don't say it so loudly, you little ghost, it's not good if people hear it. You little devil who doesn't have the common sense of this world."
Francis covered William's mouth in a panic to prevent him from continuing, although these words are counted as big rebellious words, and may even be the inner thoughts of many mercenaries, especially the evil tattoo envoys, but this is absolutely not to be said, especially in front of monarchs and magicians, which is against the mainstream consensus of this world.
Only a monarch can be a lord, or even a king or emperor.
"Then you can explain it to me, as long as I know, I won't ask again, if you don't tell me, of course I'll be curious, after all, our world has different common sense, and it's normal." William said dissatisfied.
"Well, you listen to me, there are no mercenaries who are monarchs, or lords who are evil empresses, it's not that they don't want to, but they can't. Whether the monarch is mediocre and brutal or not, the evil veins and mercenaries are wise or not, the world will never allow anyone other than the monarch to be the ruler. Even if there is a monarch as a mercenary, just because he is only a knight squire, as long as he can defeat Chaos and make meritorious deeds and be promoted to knight, then he will at least have a village."
"What if I wanted to be king!"
William stared at Francis with a playful gaze, as the trump card of the dragon slaying mercenary group, even if the people of the mercenary group did not accept his leadership, they would definitely not go against his will.
Don't look at Baron Antonio defeated Baron Bruni, absorbed the other party's holy seal, inherited his territory, and the title is almost to the point of a quasi-viscount, as if he is at the highlight of his life, but as long as William wants to rebel, then his two hundred soldiers cannot be his opponent at all.
In other words, just as Baron Antonio drove out Baron Bruni, he could easily get rid of Baron Antonio.
So this is where he really wonders, there are many powerful evil patterns in this world, but there are many weak monarchs, why
But the main system can complete aristocracy and hereditary, why would they be willing to do so.
It's not strange that sheep can rule over the flock, but it's strange that they can rule over wolves through the Holy Seal.
In the modern world where William lives, not to mention the slogan "Princes and princes will have a kind of peace" in the Far East, even in the medieval West, Italy, that is, the hometown of Erica and Liliana, Milan, and the Sforza family, who usurped the throne of the Duke of Milan, were born as mercenaries.
And this is not an isolated case, as the poor knights of the Crusades have also established their own countries.
"You will be the enemy of this world." Francis said lightly.
"If I become a monarch, will I die suddenly?"
William frowned, the power of the church in this world is not strong, and there are many monarchs who do not accept the logic of divine monarchy, perhaps it is for this reason that no mercenary will dare to risk the disapproval of the world to usurp the throne.
"Say the same, William, do you see the man following Antonio?"
Francis patted William on the shoulder and pointed to the middle-aged man beside Antonio who looked like a butler, and then introduced, "That man's name is Nunn, and he was sent to Baron Antonio by the Wizards' Association.
"The order of professions in this world is not the Evil Tattoo Envoy, the Monarch, and the Magician, but the Monarch and the Magician, and then the Evil Tattoo Envoy, and the reason why I associate the monarch and the Magician is that the two professions of the Monarch and the Magician are the same group."
Francis said with a wry smile, "Because of this question, I also asked my father, and I had the same confusion as you at the beginning, although in the eyes of ordinary people, these three are all people with extraordinary powers, but the biggest difference is that only the monarch and the magician are organized separately, and they are all in a group."
"Baron Antonio is a member of the Fantasy Poetry Consortium of the Monarchical Community, which is one of the two major powers that dominate the continent, and the Magician Guild is located in the center of Elam, whose founder is the acolyte of the original monarch Leo, known as the Great Sage, so the students who graduate from the University of Magic will learn all kinds of magic, and will also absorb a lot of knowledge to assist their monarch in domestic affairs and diplomacy. For example, Lord Nunn was sent here to assist Lord Antonio because he was recognized as a one-man leader."
"Theoretically, all magicians belong to the Wizards' Guild, and the magicians not only serve their own monarch and offer their loyalty, but also supervise the monarch on behalf of the Magicians' Guild, because the knighthood is the creation of the Magicians' Guild system and rewards the heroes who quell Chaos, because only the monarch has the Holy Seal to quell Chaos, so only the monarch can exercise rule."
"But if the monarch does not fulfill his obligation as a monarch to suppress chaos, then he will be deprived of his title by the Magician Association, and those who do not have the holy seal and title will become lords, and they will be the enemies of the Wizards Association, and the enemies of all monarchs, and the whole world will fight against them. It's not that there is no evil pattern that emboldens us to build our own country, but they have all been pacified by the Magicians Association, and we have also received a crusade commission from the Magicians Association."
Francis explained with a smile, as if trying to tease William, and deliberately asked, "Even so, do you want to be king?"
