All the news about the Radiant Cross, all the lords present did not say it, a shocking event that could have shook the entire north, lurking in this small castle, all the people invariably chose to hide it, even those close knights did not know at all.

They all have concerns, first of all, the truth of the news itself is difficult to judge immediately, although they are all willing to believe that it is true, but on the other hand, there are many people who do not want to believe it, the Radiant Cross makes many people feel frightened, this divine sword has many incredible liliang in the legend, too unknown to produce indescribable fear.

As for the messenger of the Duke of Allama, he did not send the news back - not to mention whether the Duke could get the news that night, and rushed over with great speed. The original belief of the Cato people was not the Radiant Cross, the reason why they changed their faith was entirely due to the rule of the empire, and the Radiant Cross, a religion that resulted from the complete worship of objects, it is difficult to establish a strong faith without experiencing it.

Another reason is the influence of the Radiant Cross. Perhaps the people of the Aragon era only regarded the Excalibur as a treasure or something, and after hundreds of years of teaching and doing, it was imperceptibly understood. In the hearts of the public, the Excalibur is no longer just a treasure, it is simply an omnipotent god!

The knight who gets the Excalibur will undoubtedly become the "incarnation of God"! Perhaps this person will not be supported by the nobles. But the people at the bottom will definitely bow down to him - a firm rule comes from the grasp of the people at the bottom, the control and use of the aristocratic class. What better way to do that than to mythologize one's own family? When a myth comes to a man in its entirety, who can say that he is not loved by God?

Don't say anything else. When the knight with the sword in his hand stood on the battlefield, the morale of his army was absolutely skyrocketing, and they would not retreat from the battle. Myths and legends will make soldiers believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are absolutely invincible!

Baldwin IV, King of the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the Crusades, erected the "True Cross" and led 500 knights and 1,200 infantry under his command to raid Saladin's army, killing more than 20,000 elites. Although it was completely unexpected, the soldiers on the other side were still resting. The rest looted nearby. But 2,000 people raided 20,000 people, and just summoning such courage is comparable to many famous battlefield heroes!

Such liliang is called faith. When you build up your faith, as long as your faith does not die, because no one can defeat you, you will always believe in your own progress.

Before dawn, the servants in the castle hurriedly lit candles to illuminate the castle hall. The lords, who had barely slept all night, wore formal clothes with dark circles under their eyes, and waited in the hall early. At such a historic moment, no one would be willing to give up - even if it was just a possibility.

The very unsociable Duke Bran Elfvan, with his "chief of guard", stood alone under Helena's left hand. Salald, who didn't want to deal with him very much, as well as Aaron and their cronies and knights, all stood on Theodore's left and right to avoid embarrassment.

I probably also realized that I was not very popular. Bran didn't say much, and the overly wide black cloak shrouded him completely. A small, round, wide-brimmed black cap is pressed against the top of the head, slightly bowed. His black hair obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see what his expression was.

The sudden appearance of the Duke of Laria would have been a very, very surprising thing, but in the case of the possible appearance of the Radiant Cross, no one cared too much about it.

Salald secretly looked at the duke, who was younger than himself, his eyes full of curiosity. In the past, the Ultok family rarely had any dealings with the Elvwan family, and many times they even looked down on each other - the Ultok Grand Dukes, who had made many achievements in the war, always thought that the rich Laria should be their own hero, and the Elvwan family just had a good father.

And the Elfwan family, who had always been famous in the court and did not care much about the territory, also disdained Ultok - a group of self-righteous arrogant fanatics, completely unaware of how much the Elvwan family had contributed to the strength of the empire, and that war still had to serve the purpose of seizing wealth.

When Aaron told Theodore this "allusion", a strange perception took shape in his mind -- the earner was angry that the spender had never known how to be considerate of himself, and that he could not spend lavishly because he earned more? and that the spender felt that he did not spend money for the sake of the earner could earn more money, and then a contradiction arose.

"I guess this guy must know something. Salald pursed his eyes and whispered to Theodore beside him, "Otherwise, he would never be so calm at his age." ”

"I refuse to discuss with you about this Duke of Elfwan, my dear Salald. Theodore glanced at him helplessly: "Your fake news has hurt me, this duke's ability is by no means as simple as you think." It's just that I now know from Her Highness Helena and the princes of the Kwyn River, that it is only a matter of time before he has at least five thousand troops at his disposal to unify Laria. ”

"Salad is just a person who has a congenital dislike for the Elfwan family, and he should have no ill will towards this duke. Aaron secretly laughed on the side: "This belongs to the family inheritance, there is no cure!"

"If this guy does get the Radiant Cross, will you pledge your allegiance to him?" Salald pouted unhappily, "Will I? The only one of us who doesn't need to worry about this is probably someone." ”

"I said I would protect Helena, and that promise will always work - as long as I live. Theodore smiled, "I respect the faith of the Radiant Cross, and I will believe it if I need to." But I did not swear to the sword of the Emperor, and neither did my knights. The Romans always kept their promises. ”

"Hah! What a Roman. Salald smiled: "I wish I could have a fight with those unreasonable guys, and they will understand some truth when they are beaten!"

At this moment, a Knight of Dawn, who was guarding the door, suddenly walked into the hall. Standing in the center, facing Helena and bowing his head: "Your Highness, some people outside said they wanted to come in, but they didn't want to explain the reason. ”

"Who?"

"Three people. The knight replied truthfully, "There is an old man in a gray robe, and a middle-aged man who is probably a mercenary or something, and a female elf." ”

"Can you tell me what is characteristic of that old man?" Adjutant Will asked, "We need clarity. ”

"It's no different from an ordinary old man. The knight frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "In his hand is a wooden cane with a hollowed-out vine branch on it. ”

"Malcius!" Theodore asserted, turning his head to the left: "Helena...... Your Highness, it's Malcius, and he's the prophet!"

"Can you be so sure?" asked Terenus, inadvertently noticing that Bran, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head after Theodore said the name, and then quickly lowered it again.

"Let him in. Helena spoke, "In any case, there must be a reason why this old man came, and as a son of Pendragon, I have no reason not to receive him." ”

"Do your will. The Knight of Dawn gave Helena a chest-beating salute, took two steps back, and left the castle hall and walked out into the courtyard.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"As I said earlier, we will never let you in until we have the will of Her Royal Highness Princess Helena, no matter what the reason!"

Outside the gate of the castle, two knights of dawn blocked the way of Malcius, and two spears stood together, blocking the gate of the castle to death: "This is an order!"

"We have come from Issos with sincerity, and after many dangers and deaths, this is the result?!" "Grand Druid Elena had angry eyes and a mean voice in her voice: "It seems that your human friendliness is not so admirable!"

"Say a few words, Lord Druid. Alpha Yi, who was covered in injuries, smiled bitterly and grabbed Yelena from behind: "It's all here, do you want to go back?"

"Don't fiddle around here, elf. When the Knight of Dawn heard her words, his face was not so good-looking: "This is the realm of mankind, not your Forest of Silence!"

"Please also forgive her for her rudeness, Your Excellency the Knight. Malcius stopped in front of Yelena, and as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his back being pinched, and endured the pain with a wry smile: "We have plenty of time to wait, just go and say hello." ”

"Someone has already gone to the temple and will be back soon. The knight's face softened slightly: "But the decision is still in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and we are not sure that Your Highness will definitely learn from you, respected elder." ”

"Oh, that's understandable!" Maltheus nodded thoughtfully, "If Her Highness were to meet with all the people who visited her, Her Highness would be so busy that she wouldn't even have time to sleep." ”

"You are really at home, honorable prophet. Elena gritted her teeth and whispered in Malcius's ear, "There is not even a single person who knows you!"

"Six hundred years ago, I would have been a little famous, but this thing has no effect on my mission, Lord Great Druid. Malcius reluctantly explained, "Humans don't have the tradition of being the inheritors of the Noldor Elves, so there is no need to make it known to everyone. (To be continued......)
