146 Marriage contract.

In the tent, the three of them discussed until dawn before finalizing the general policy.

Grandon was still in his own small county, and in terms of funds, he would secretly send someone to arrive in batches. The construction of the castle in Moon Bay was handled by Victoria and others, and Count Kodom was in charge of overseeing it.

After the general policy was finalized, Grandon blinked his eyelids that were a little painful, and picked at the eye droppings that had grown from staying up late. The too casual behavior seemed a little vulgar and rude, but he didn't care at all, and flicked his fingers lightly, and his eyes flew away.

"Well, then, in order to show the sincerity between you and me, I think it is necessary for us to conclude a sacred marriage contract to prove our sincere cooperation with each other. ”

Seeing such uninhibited actions of the previous king, Ronald just smiled: "So, with whom do we make an oath?

Victoria has been a little absent-minded in this negotiation. However, after hearing Ronald's joking words, her expression was obviously a little unhappy. "Please respect yourself, Lord Ronald. ”

After seeing Ronald's smiling face, she was a little flustered for no reason. Fortunately, Granddon's next words gave her some time to hide her shyness.

"Laxis, the Ancestors decreed that when we make a sacred oath, we must be named Laxis, the god of the netherworld. ”

After the flush on Victoria's face dissipated, she quickly said: "That's right, this is the rule of our Ronan ancestor, and my mother ......"

Grandon gave Victoria a cold look.

Ronald looked at Victoria, who lowered her head and her face seemed to be a little angry because of the memory, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.

Could it be because of her mother's incident that she hates the so-called supreme god so much?

Soon, his thoughts raced.

"Yes, I've read a lot of information recently, and it seems that the god of the netherworld, Laxis, doesn't have many followers in the world. ”

Ronald quietly probed, hoping to get some clues from the two of them.

It didn't matter if he asked such a question, because when he was reading a book in the hotel, he had already discovered that Laxis, a symbol of absolute justice, had no followers on the continent of Erathia. And a thousand years ago, there were almost no strong people who did not know about Laxis.

The gods robbed the faith, could it be that this god of the netherworld has fallen? But, why, can I still make a sacred contract with the red dragon?

In his mind, there was a deep doubt.

He wasn't going to explore that for now, because there were a lot of more pressing questions waiting for him. However, because of his wandering thoughts, Ronald was inevitably a little dazed.

Grandon also noticed at this time that the black-haired young man in front of him seemed to be a little absent-minded. He waited patiently for a moment until Ronald's eyes cleared again before explaining.

This is the decree of our ancestors, who taught us that only a righteous God is the most selfless. ”

Ronald was noncommittal: "I see. ”

He turned his head to glance at Victoria, who had a calm face. At the moment when the two of them met for a short time, he found that she was quiet, and suddenly a little unnatural.

Ronald curled the corners of his mouth: "Okay, just do as you say, let's make a vow." ”

He thought he would call out the notary scales, but found that Grandon was one step ahead.

Grandon's eyes narrowed slightly, and he clasped his hands together in front of his chest. Then, with a reverent face, he raised his head and began to chant in a low voice. Under the fierce opening and closing of his lips, a series of slightly vague words burst out quickly.

Soon, Ronald's mental consciousness sensed the emergence of a notarial balance.

A faint golden light appeared above the head of Grandon, who was singing reverently, and in an instant, it transformed into a balance seat with a sharp sword, appearing in the spiritual consciousness of the two men.

In a cold and ruthless tone, the content of the oath proposed by Granton was clearly recited in the minds of the two of them. "Are you willing to make an oath with me for this?"

Ronald thought about it, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with this contract, he responded within his own spiritual consciousness.

It wasn't long before he saw the two sections of the scales appear with equal weights, and the sharp blade, which symbolized the fulfillment of the oath, pierced straight down from the middle of the balance seat and nailed it to the base of the scale. After the blade stabbed down, the base of the balance suddenly snapped up its chains, and began to wrap around like the ring snake of the silver serpent, binding the blade to the weight.

The pale golden brilliance flashed away, and Ronald, who was squinting slightly, saw that Grandon on the other side was wiping the sweat from his forehead a little weakly.

"Okay, let's celebrate in advance that we're working together. Grandon filled the silver cup with wine, then turned around and handed Ronald another glass.

Seeing the sincerity in Granddon's eyes, Ronald did not say no words of refusal this time, he took the silver cup, raised his head, and drank the wine in the cup very happily. Then, he reversed his wrist and put the silver cup face down, indicating that he had drunk it all.

"It was a pleasure to work with. He smiled.

Grandon did the same, then shrugged his shoulders and walked briskly out of the tent.

"Ahaha, I need to get a good night's sleep, I don't have the physical strength of you. As he passed by Ronald's side, he blinked his eyes several times: "Then, my stubborn and lovely sister, please leave it to you." ”

As he spoke, he ignored Victoria, who was glaring at him angrily, and lifted the curtain and strode out.

It wasn't until the old mage, who had been silent in the corner, walked away that Victoria whispered: "Then ......" After hesitating, she changed her words: "My brother is like that, please don't mind too much." ”

"I know. ”

Ronald looked at Victoria, who suddenly had a little woman's posture, and couldn't help laughing: "You should also take a good rest, after all, there are still many things that need your help." ”

He thought for a moment, suppressed the thought of taking out the energy droplets, and strode out of the camp as well. "I'll go back first. To avoid embarrassment, he said this.

It wasn't until the light outside the curtain had dimmed again that Victoria lifted her beautiful face. Outside the tent, the footsteps gradually disappeared, and she stood silently in place, lowering her head again, glancing at herself dressed in demonic armor.

And at the moment when Victoria was immersed in her inner world, Ronald, who had already gone out, had returned to his tent.

As he entered, he swept around the tents in the camp.

More than 100 elite knights......

He frowned and walked briskly into the tent.

As soon as he sat down on the blanket, he rubbed his sideburns habitually, and began to carefully sort out in his mind the information he had obtained after a long conversation last night.

Rhodes buys the island and possibly secretly does some research, which he puts aside.

His mind was full of two things, the Temple of Fire and the rise of Protestantism.

It is already evident that Adela is trying to establish the Protestant faith through the so-called miracles performed by Jesus Christ.

Ronald knew very well in his heart that the so-called miracles such as "five loaves and two fishes", "condemning life and death", and "treating disabilities" were some uncommon ancient magic.

Five loaves and two fishes, that time in the tavern, Ronald vaguely judged that it seemed to be the fourth-order spiritual magic "Prayer Creation". Compared to the current relatively complete magic system, Wish Creation is an extremely mana-consuming spell that can only create some food that can satisfy the stomach but has no nutritional value at all, which is very impractical.

And the miracle of life and death is estimated to be the "death ray". This formless and colorless magic that requires a lot of magic power and nearly half a minute of preparation time when casting, but it does not require a gesture, and can instantly kill a weak person whose strength is far lower than his own. But those who can release the death ray are at least at the legendary level. But with this level of strength, he has already mastered more quick and convenient means to kill those weak people in seconds. Therefore, the death ray is also a bit of a tricky magic.

Naturally, the treatment of disability is also a type of prayer technique. It is by spending a lot of mana to restore damage that cannot be healed by healing. Compared to the previous two spells, this spell is very useful, but most of it is used on oneself and one's companions. No one would expend their energy and use this magic to heal the poor, because once released, there would be a period of weakness of nearly a day, which would be an Achilles' heel for anyone.

Because of their impracticality, these spells were obsolete and forgotten after a thousand years. But Adela has cleverly taken advantage of this and succeeded in attracting the people at the bottom.

For those who are strong, these ancient magics may be a little strange, but they are acceptable. But for the tenants and the poor at the bottom, these rare magic can greatly motivate them and draw them to Jesus' side, which is why the Holy See is nervous and afraid.

While admiring Adra's meticulous thoughts, Ronald himself began to feel distressed.

So far, he still can't figure out the clue of "faith".

Establishing one's own power is just a matter of rights. Although it is not clear how to obtain faith, Ronald understands that a necessary condition for obtaining faith is to have a large number of believers. And if you want to have these, you need a stable, prosperous region to support them.

A private fiefdom entirely one's own is naturally the ideal means of achieving this condition.

Ronald thought a little big, and he simply stood up.

Call.

He took a deep breath with his hands behind his back, so that he could calm his mind again.

Forget it, leave it there for now, and wait for Kerry to come back......

Thinking so, he twisted his waist a few more times, and walked out of the tent quickly, intending to go to the town to observe the effects of Protestantism. (To be continued.) )
