048. The Knight's Trial
Due to the fierce fighting in the north, the envoys of the two places had their eyes spewing flames when they met at St. Benburg.
The dark-skinned knight Joan was appointed to receive the nobles of the North, and when she saw the English envoy appear, Joan kept looking for opportunities to whisper to her.
The Knights Hospitaller also came with a lot of people, and when they met them, they were very red-eyed, and when they met Bran, their eyes were not friendly.
Thinking that Luyo II was more towards the Templar Order, they also planned to retreat, but when Heywood suddenly came to power, they didn't want to throw in the towel.
From the 3rd to the 6th, the arrangement was finally completed.
The Mahayata has a very lengthy process.
But Bran's days at the monastery were held every year with a mini-version, which began with the entrance ceremony.
The position of the lords was also elaborate, with the Archduke of Austria at the top of the first column, second only to the cardinals.
Because it is a great ceremonial misa, it does not need to be too luxurious, but elegant and elegant, and all the precious rings on the hands are removed.
“…… Share the glory of God the Father. ”
There is a canon that has been passed down for 300 years, which has been taken out by the priests and recited by the bishops.
White candles, shining holy robes, and hymn bathing, some of the ladies even wept.
In the middle of the process, the shift was changed, and due to lack of manpower, Bran had not rested for nearly 24 hours, and Heywood asked Bran to step down first.
Bran walked out of the side doorway, his head a little dizzy.
Some of the small rooms in St. Benburg are reserved for the rest of the servants, and they are also on standby inside.
Bran went in and lay down for about four hours, then was awakened by a loud bell.
After a brief freshening up, he went out of the room and grabbed a young knight apprentice who had just joined the regiment and said, "Ritual?"
"It's over, and Bishop Heywood moves to the large hall on the other side to baptize some nobles."
After making sure everything was right, Bran walked out of the side door of St. Benburg, and the crowd had already dispersed.
As a knight, Bran barely leaves his horse.
He flicked the reins and made his way through the wide official passage
When I passed the perimeter of a tavern, there was no crowd of people.
This is not normal, especially since it is a special day, and there should be a lot of people going to the nearby church from now on.
Bran soon understood what was happening.
Several men were so angry that their eyes almost popped out, and they besieged one of them.
They came through the side door.
The besieged man had a horse, but the saddle was shabby, there was no servant, and the armor on his body was not shiny, and there were some rust marks, so he should have been dressed as a poor knight somewhere.
Those who dare to draw their swords against knights are either nobles themselves or nobles' subordinates.
Many-to-one, the besieged knights were sweating profusely and constantly swinging their swords to block these people.
At first, there was a conflict here, and the drinker inside ran out of the small door in fright, and the knight's skills were not bad, and he punched out of it, and the hilt of the sword knocked down three people.
However, the besieging males have appeared a few more to help, and at present, this knight is five against one, and it is in danger.
The knight was slashed twice, but Flash's speed didn't bleed.
"Don't stop yet!"
As the Guardian of the Holy Father, Bran has the equivalent of a sheriff (knight), he reminds loudly.
Bran pulled out a safe area, about five meters from each other, spun his horse around, and then asked what was going on?
Bran kept his eyes calm and turned left and right to look at the two men, holding the reins in one hand and the sword at his waist in the other.
"God forbid!"
Bran also came to this tavern, and the boss knew who Bran was, so he immediately ran to Bran after shouting, "My lord, these foreign knights, said that there was a person who escaped from our hotel, let us hand it over immediately, and smashed all our things, you have to make them compensate!"
At the same time, the church guards, who had heard the news of the brawl from a neighboring church, also sent over.
As a territory of the Holy See, the boss saw that the Holy Father's guard and a few spear guards were coming, so he naturally had confidence.
Bran glanced at the boss, "Stop fighting, or you'll all be arrested in the Cult Court." ”
The glamorous knights appeared, and this group of noble private soldiers stopped and waited for the master to arrive.
Fearing a sudden silence in the air, Bran was about to react when a nobleman arrived on horseback.
The speed was very fast, and the black hat on his head was blown off, showing baldness.
It was an old nobleman with a red nose, and as soon as he appeared, the men with swords immediately saluted.
The clothes on his body had a yellow wolf pattern, which Bran recognized as a totem of the Bavarian nobility.
In addition to the royal family, Bavaria generally uses wolves, and the yellow wolves should be Fatah, Canardro, and Mochis......
"The yellow wolf wolf claws stepping on the city wall, this should be the Mokith family."
After years of studying the knowledge of the nobility, Bran immediately judged the identity of this person, if the aristocratic almanac was not too outdated, this was a family of counts.
"Your Excellency, this knight is holding us back." The besiegers saluted the old nobleman.
This thick German accent made Bran, who was learning German, unable to understand it.
"Mintean Mochis, from Bavaria......"
"Bran Chaman, Holy Father's Guard, Knight of the Templar Order......"
Mokis's title is long, and Bran deliberately reports it.
"Your Excellency, do not interfere and hand this man over to me." Mintean looked at Bran.
"Your Excellency, don't listen to this bastard who abducts nobles." Young man.
The old nobleman and the young knight spoke at the same time.
Both of them spoke in Italian, and Mintean naturally understood what this knight meant, his face turned red, his wife ran away, and he was going to secretly find it, but this knight dared to publicize it like this, it was too hateful.
"Shut up for me." Mintean even wondered if his wife was taken advantage of by the knight in front of her!
"Cuckold disputes" are not uncommon, Bran thought in an instant, he thought for a while that after Mintean probably lost his wife, he married a young and beautiful man, but when he came to Rome this time, the young wife met the knight in front of him, so they eloped together.
This involves a duel of honor, and after the brain is filled, Bran is ready to ask a few more questions, and if the judgment is true, then he will be on the side of the old nobles.
Cuckolds can endure!
If it is not true, then he will also help the old nobles.
Because in the near future, he has a good chance of marrying the king's daughter, and the nobles of the kingdom are worthy of friendship.
Mintean raised his hands high to show peace, and handed the sword to the others.
Make the same gesture
Bran dismounted, making the same gesture, but did not hand over the sword, and the two men approached to talk.
For a long time, Bran accepted Mintean's claim.
Mintean said that there was a relative of his own in the tavern who wanted to take her away, but the knight tried every means to stop him, and he started to do it at the slightest disagreement.
Then Mintean pulled out the ring and wanted to give it to Bran as a token of thanks.
Bran refused, and turned to the young knight to check his account, but Bran didn't see where the nobleman came from.
The young knight said that his name was Donde, and that he had come from the Western Peninsula and was engaged in the "trial of a knight".
"Western Peninsula" is another name for the Iberian Peninsula.
