Chapter 495: Du Wei's Decision
Prince Charlie's words were categorical, and his young face was full of cold arrogance. It made the two knights stunned for a moment, and then the black-faced Stegel couldn't help but shout: "You ......"
"Shut up, Stegger!" Pope Paul XVI immediately stopped the reckless subordinate and gave him a deep look at Prince Charles: "Your Highness, it is my people who are rude. Please be assured that the Church of Light has absolutely no intention of contempting royalty and aristocracy. ”
Stegger's dark face turned purple, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he gritted his teeth and sat back. But the Pope ordered the two to apologize to Prince Charles immediately, and the two had no choice but to comply.
The Pope looked at the young and gentle Prince Charles, but his heart was full of jǐngti!
It is surprising that Prince Charles has such eloquence and insight at such a young age. But what made the Pope even more unhappy was that this little prince didn't seem to have the slightest respect for the temple......! It seems that there is still a bit of hostility!
You know, this Prince Charles, everyone knows that he is likely to inherit the throne in the future! Such an emperor who has been hostile to the church since he was a child...... I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the temple!
Although he thought so, the Pope smiled warmly: "Your Highness Charles, may I ask what is my mistake?"
Prince Charlie finally showed a hint of nervousness in the face of the questioning of the leader of the continent's jīng gods, after all, he was still young. Accusing the mistake of the leader of the mainland jīng god in front of him was still a little cramped, he took a deep breath, but suddenly saw Du Wei, the Duke of Tulip next to him, with an encouraging smile on his face.
The little guy immediately calmed down a little, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the knight status you said is noble, not bad...... But that was for the commoners! According to tradition, knights were loyal to the nobility! or to the Empire! to the nobles of true nobility. The so-called knight is nothing more than an object of allegiance to himself, a 'retainer'! Then, let alone His Majesty the Emperor! For His Majesty the Emperor. All the knights on the continent are just courtiers! They are soldiers, and even servants! The emperor is the real master of this continent! For a master...... Where there is a servant fighting, the master will be the judge! This is simply ridiculous! If we really do this. God knows what will be written in the history books in a few years! I fear that it will even be praised as a scandal by posterity! So, I think, the emperor must not be judged! The only possibility. Only as a 'rewarder'! and absolutely not a judgment! and impossible to participate in it!!"
There is hardly any flaw in what he said, after all, in this world, the hierarchy is still extremely strict! Especially the aristocracy. For the hierarchical tradition. It is more important than anything else! Because this is the guarantee of their noble status.
The Pope was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to smile, and smiled at Prince Chen and the old emperor: "It seems that we have ignored the issue of the dignity of the imperial family. Forget about this ridiculous suggestion. ”
"Judgeable ......" that Stegel didn't seem to have grasped the Pope's meaning.
"Judge?" said Du Wei suddenly. He said lightly: "What kind of judgment is needed for a martial arts competition in the ring! It is not a comparison of literary talent and poetry! A warrior duels, and the sword has no eyes! To live is to win, and to die is to lose! What judgment do you need!"
"Your Excellency Bishop Du Wei doesn't make sense!" said the cunning Randall. Before he accused Du Wei this time, he had learned wisely and deliberately called Du Wei "bishop", otherwise he was worried that Du Wei would reprimand himself for the same reason as "commoners and nobles". You know, Charlie is the prince, but Du Wei's title is not low!!
first determined Du Wei's identity as a "bishop", so that he would refute Du Wei as the chief knight of the Church Order, and he would not be provoked by the other party on the issue of identity.
Randall continued, "Although it is said that the duel of the warrior is a sword without eyes...... But after all, this is a game, not a duel of life and death! Do you want to make every contestant live and die? If so, I'm afraid that the final champion will not know how many people will be killed! So I think there is still a need for judgment, and this judgment is ...... If His Majesty the Emperor can't hold the position, then he should invite a few martial artists with a prominent reputation in the empire to do so!"
Du Wei sneered, and suddenly said, "Your Excellency, what do you think if you invite Lord Rodriguez, who is known as the 'Silver Night Sword Saint', to be the judge?"
Randall was defenseless, so he naturally nodded: "
Lord Gus is a Saint-level powerhouse. He should be judged. I don't think there is ......"
"Humph!" Dewey looked at Randall with an idiotic look. Laughing mockingly, "That's it! Lord Randall." If you race and win the championship, the judges will hand you the title of 'No. 1 in the World' with the judges. Are you embarrassed to accept it?"
"This ......," Randall immediately realized that he had been fooled again.
Even Prince Charlie. They all looked at the two knights with pity.
Indeed, if it is Rodriguez...... Are you embarrassed to accept that he will give you the title of the number one place in the world, or do you think you can beat Rodriguez?!
"Don't fight. Prince Chen suddenly smiled and glanced at the Pope: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
"My boy, you must have a very clever idea, please speak. The old pope quietly took advantage of Prince Chen's words again.
Prince Chen didn't seem to care, and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that the temple would also be interested in this martial arts competition." However, if the temple is willing to participate, then I think it is better to set up four judges for the position of judge. Well, after all, the Knight Association is a knight organization in the mainland, so Delong, the president of the Knight Association, can be counted as one. ”
Everyone nodded, after all, although the Knight Association has declined, the signboard is still there, and whether Delong is a waste or not, it is acceptable for him to serve as a judge.
"Besides, I think the church should send someone to occupy a seat as well. Prince Chen smiled slightly: "Of course, this candidate will be decided after you go back, Your Majesty the Pope." ”
The Pope nodded.
"The third spot...... Let our royal family send a court warrior to represent you. I would like to invite the chief court warrior of the Imperial Palace to be the representative of the Imperial Family, as a sign of the Imperial Family's respect for this Congress. ”
Naturally, there is no problem with this proposal.
"The last fourth spot...... Let the Imperial officials send a representative! to show the importance that the Imperial officials attach to this conference. ”
Undoubtedly, no one can argue with this statement either.
However, in terms of candidates...... Prince Chen naturally looked at his most trusted candidate: Du Wei!
"Du Wei, this proposal was also thought of by you first, and you are famous in the empire, the reputation of Duke Tulip is famous on the mainland, the first battle in the northwest, and you have the rank of imperial general. Then the fourth judge, please take the role. ”
Actually, everyone thought of it...... Everyone knows that the person who Prince Chen trusts most now is this Duke Tulip.
However, Du Wei's actions surprised everyone!
"Your Highness, I refuse. Du Wei stood up suddenly, and his face was calm: "Please forgive me for not being able to accept this order of yours...... I am not in a position to judge this conference. ”
“...... Why?" Prince Chen was also stunned.
"Because ......" Du Wei suddenly smiled slightly: "I have decided to sign up for this conference! As a contestant, for the sake of justice, I naturally cannot serve as a judge!"
Everyone was stunned!
Randall, who had been mocked by Du Wei just now, couldn't help but sneer: "Lord Bishop, although you are said to have a great reputation, you should be a magician...... But it's a samurai game!"
"I know it's a samurai game. Du Wei looked at this guy, seemed to smile, and suddenly took out a silver sè knight badge from his arms, and shook it in his hand: "In addition to being a magician, I also have the title of knight!
Everyone looked at the knight's badge in Du Wei's hand and couldn't help but be stunned.
Rank 9? Knights of Rank 9?
Du Wei sighed in his heart...... This thing is absolutely no problem to say that it is legitimate! This is a knight rank badge issued by the president of the Continental Knight Association...... It's just that after last night's full meal, that guy Delong burped himself with a wine hiccups......
"So...... Prince Chen couldn't help but be a little amused: "Du Wei, you ......"
"I've decided to compete, Your Highness. Du Wei smiled: "I also want to grab a title of 'No. 1 in the world' and go home to have fun." ”
