Chapter 138: Knight's Canonization
The Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Teutonic Knights have survived from the Middle Ages to modern times, and only the Knights Hospitaller have retained their entire organizational structure.
The full name of the Knights Hospitaller is "The Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem", and its purpose is mainly to care for the wounded and pilgrims.
Because the original intention of the Knights Hospitaller was to repair the hospital and save people, only the Knights Hospitaller kept the organizational structure intact of the three major knights.
The Knights Hospitaller used to be a state power with a territory, and when it lost its territory for a thousand years, even if it lived on a lease, it was an observer entity of the United Nations, and it had a quasi-national nature.
What really makes it famous is the Knights Hospitaller, and its special nature, which is recognized as a country by more than 100 countries and establishes corresponding diplomatic relations with it.
Therefore, the means of making money are not only limited to the issuance of commemorative currency and stamps, but also knighthood and knighthood, of course, these can be bought with money.
"Your Majesty, you can rebuild your Knights of the Round Table, and we, the British Crown and the British Government, will definitely actively find a building for you in London and throughout Britain to be your Knights of the Round Table residence, and even recognize you as the King of England."
Princess Alice is a super-active force, using the Knights Hospitaller as an example to show that knighthood and knighthood can be granted even if you don't really control a country.
For example, the recipient of the Order of the Garter automatically has the status of a knight, and is a military organization in which the Queen of England is the head of the Order of the Garter, and the rest of the knights are knights.
Although this military organization could not realistically be expected to lead foreign heads of state and government officials to war as her knights, it was indeed a supreme honour for the Honourers, who were regarded as the noblest knights in England.
There are a lot of micro-countries in Europe, not only can you sell commemorative coins, stamps, and knighthoods for money, but even if you have enough money, you can directly rent all the country, people and government agencies to you, so that you can experience the fun of being a king.
"Two kings."
William smiled, feeling only ridiculous about the proposal, he had a problem with Princess Alice.
He clearly knew that Princess Alice was very pleasing to King Arthur, and her performance was not only flattering, but even flattering and flattering, King Arthur also liked Alice very much, somehow, it gave William a sense of crisis that he was about to fall out of favor.
"Yes, isn't Italy a two-kingdom system at the moment? The United States does not also have two presidents, a full president, a vice president, and in the history of the United Kingdom, there have been two husbands and wives, one is respected as the king, the other is respected as the queen, and most of them are co-kings where the king is the queen. Even in Crescent countries, aren't there examples of the president and spiritual leader being the head of state at the same time? During the Hundred Years' War, there were three popes in the Church at the same time, Italians, French, and the Holy Roman Empire. ”
Princess Alice said in a proflific manner, meaning that some rules are dead, but they are also alive.
If King Arthur is willing to stay in England, then she can use her power to fight against the royal factory of the Black Prince Alec, with such a godkiller as an enemy, the pressure of the Council of the Sages is conceivable, and the royal family also needs a backer.
If King Arthur, the eternal king of British history, is willing to stay in the United Kingdom, then the sanctity and status of the British royal family will be unshakable, the centripetal force of the United Kingdom will definitely be strengthened like never before, and the independence of Ireland from the United Kingdom will never happen again.
Although some things are secret, but after all, this is a high degree of secrecy, in fact, the top management is clear, which is why although Japan does not have its own god killers, but it has never been disturbed by the fact that the gods of disobedience have descended.
The island nation of Japan, which rules all the forces in the Japanese spell world, and appears as an official body, the "Official History Compilation Committee", which has the patron saint of their country and nation, Susanoo, as a backer, and this god of disobedience is also called "the imperial husband".
Erica looked at Princess Alice's speech in a daze, and found that she couldn't interject at all, the twelve-year-old Erica was too immature compared to Princess Alice, who became the president of the Council of the Magi at the age of sixteen.
At such critical meetings, the Bronze Black Cross and other magic societies were knights with both wisdom and courage, but they were not close to William and therefore could not participate in such meetings.
No matter which country is a quarrel, it is the small meeting that decides the real big thing.
Erica understood that her and Princess Alice's advice would largely shape William and King Arthur's foreign policy, and that she was completely speechless at such a critical moment, and she didn't even know whether she should support or oppose it.
"That's not necessary, I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the late knights of my Knights of the Round Table, the current king is William, he can recruit his own Knights of the Round Table, Alice and Erica, are you two willing to be William's Knights of the Round Table to be loyal to him?"
King Arthur shook his head in refusal, then looked at the two maidens with a serious gaze and asked in a solemn voice.
"Of course I do!" Princess Alice and Erica were afraid that they would be left behind, and immediately spoke, their voices resounding in the room.
King Arthur looked at William on the side and said, "William, what are you still doing in a daze, have you forgotten that someone has declared allegiance to you, what should you do?" ”
William was stunned, and then watched Princess Alice and Erica kneel on the ground at the same time to perform the knightly canonization ceremony to William, in fact, even the knight is half-kneeling in the face of his own king, except when the knight is canonized, William immediately pulled out his sword in the stone under the impact of this scene.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's start canonizing now!" King Arthur said.
"You're going to canonize me, I'm not a knight myself?"
William was stunned, his identity was a knight's squire, and only a formal knight was eligible to canonize another knight, otherwise the king would canonize him, and they also had the status of a knight.
Twelve-year-old William was not very tall, and when Princess Alice and Erica were on their knees, a condescending feeling of looking down came out.
In the history line, Duke William left Avalon at the age of twelve to go on a chivalrous adventure all over the world, and his identity was just an ordinary knight's canonization, and the canonization of his knighthood also came from the canonization of his monarch, the French king, and through this canonization, he regained the Norman Duchy with the help of the royal family.
"Alice and Erica are kneeling on the floor like this, and there is not even a mat under them, can you bear to keep them waiting?" King Arthur's voice became stern.
"But you are both a king and a knight, can't you do it for you? Or you canonize me as a knight first, and then I'll come again. ”
"William, I can't replace you with everything, for example, I can't eat for you, let alone replace your monarchy."
"Okay!" Reluctantly, William placed his sword on Alice's shoulder, and King Arthur, who was beside him, spoke the knight's oath.
The sword in the stone emitted a faint brilliance, William's eyes widened and looked at the vision in it, and King Arthur showed a nostalgic expression, "Although the sword in the stone is a holy sword, its biggest role is to choose a king, connect with God with the blessing of the archbishop, and at the same time use it to rule the country, this is a ritual sword, not for fighting, congratulations to you William, who is enough to canonize a knight, will no longer be considered a child."
Alice and Erica are connected to your power, and you can use your power as long as you agree, in fact, as long as the relationship is close enough, even if you don't actively refuse, they can use it, and if the relationship is very close, your power is their power. Do you know what that means? ”
"That means that both Erica and I have the powerful spell of the Godslayer!" Princess Alice felt the huge magic power in her body that surpassed that of humans a hundred times, and said in an intoxicated tone.
Power can be transferred, for example, the British parliament and government and even the courts, which are legally created by the king's mandate.
