The night is dark.
This grand banquet in Bingyan City finally came to an end.
However, the faces of the nobles who have left the banquet are different.
Some people are excited, some are scared, some are expecting, some are scared...
Tonight is doomed to sleepless.
Homing pigeons soared up from Bingyan City and scattered to various parts of the north.
They will pass on a shocking news-the eldest son of the Duke of St. Hild, the Marquis of Charles, under the question of the Marquis of Garcia, announced that he would give up his title!
The title of Charles is imaginary, and there is no corresponding territory.
The meaning it really represents is actually the inheritance of the Duke of St. Hild!
gave up this title, which means that Charles gave up his inheritance rights.
Of course, strictly speaking, only when the Duke of St. Hild approved Charles' request, he was formally deprived of the marquisial title and completely lost the right to inherit the duke.
However, what is really intriguing, or even more frightening, is that Charles took the initiative to give up his title under the pressure of his uncle.
Since Charles will not inherit the Duke of the St. Hild family, who will inherit it?
is the second son of the duke?
Or, the Duke’s brother?
It stands to reason that, as the Duke’s younger brother, the Marquis Garcia’s inheritance rank is behind the Duke’s three sons, and even behind the Duke’s adopted daughter Vera.
But now, no one dares to be sure about whose head the title of the St. Hild family will fall on.
And that golden lion banner, will it turn into a black lion?
A terrifying storm has quietly approached the northern border of the empire.
Someone was cheered and tried to take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
There are also some people who are worried and frightened by the hidden crisis.
Ke Lin walked quietly on the streets of Ice Rock City, thinking about how the Angley family should deal with themselves in this upcoming storm.
To be honest, he didn't want the Northern Territory to be messed up at this time.
This is not because of how loyal he is to the Duke of St. Hild, or how sympathetic he is to the Marquis of Charles, nor is he worried that Vera will be involved in the storm, but he knows very well that if the Northern Territory falls into civil strife at this time , Then who will be the biggest beneficiary.
There is no doubt that it will be a troll!
You know, the army of 300,000 trolls on the ice field hasn't withdrawn how far, maybe they are staring at the northern border on the border line now!
Once the Marquis of Garcia and the Duke of St. Hild pinch, the troll will definitely take the opportunity to go south again.
The northern border will surely be overwhelmed!
Colin doesn't care about the fight for power of those who are superior, but as a human, he certainly doesn't want to see the Northern Territory become a place where trolls are raging.
But it is a pity that others' slight remarks cannot change the current situation.
can only hope that the Duke of the North, who is far away in Wintery City, can retain a trace of reason and make appropriate concessions.
Colin went back to the hotel, took off his armor, and fell asleep.
When I wake up, the sun is just right.
Although the atmosphere in Bingyan City was slightly tense, there was no chaos, as if everything last night was just an illusion.
After breakfast, Colin went out for a walk and walked the cat by the way.
Of course, Xiao Bai was not reluctant to be taken, but Colin just pulled it out.
After the protest was invalidated, the angry Xiaobai got into Colin's clothes and continued to sleep.
Actually, Colin is not really wandering the streets aimlessly, he is purposeful—Glory Church.
The church of the Glory Church in Bingyan City is not far from the west side of the Sudor Family Castle. It is a tall tower built of pure white rock. It seems to be nearly a hundred high. The top of the tower stands upright, as if to pierce. Sky.
Colin is no longer afraid of the Glorious Church as he did when he first came across.
After all, he has already drunk holy water and even advanced because of it.
Actually, when he successfully advanced to become an official knight, and can stimulate the energy of the Holy Light, Colin already had a kind of speculation——
The vampires in this world should not be restrained by the church.
Then, he walked into the church door grandly.
The guard at the door saw that Colin was dressed gorgeously, but he didn't stop him.
In the empty prayer hall, there are no people, only rows of tables and chairs, and the sculpture in the front row.
Sculpture is naturally the image of the Lord of Glory.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a simple robe, long hair and shawl, holding a scepter in his right hand, and pointing his left finger forward. The only strange thing is his face——
There are no facial features on it!
According to the church, the reason why the Lord of Radiance has no five senses is because he can be the image of anyone-an elegant nobleman, a poor commoner, or even a lowly slave.
Colin raised his head and looked up at the legendary **** who protected mankind, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in his heart.
He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of where this familiar feeling came from.
"Dear knight, is there anything I can help you with?"
Just as Colin was thinking about the sculpture of the Lord of Glory, an old voice suddenly awakened him.
"Hello, dear pastor, please call me Colin."
The muddy eyes of the old priest flickered slightly, and he smiled: "It turns out to be Knight Colin. I've heard of your name."
Colin was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that he was so famous now?
The old pastor seemed to see Colin’s doubts and explained with a smile: "Archbishop Raven had been here before and mentioned you to me."
Colin suddenly realized that he had a deep impression on Archbishop Raven.
is probably thinking that he drank a whole bottle of his pure holy water.
Hmph, stingy bishop!
Colin slandered in his heart, but on the surface he looked deeply honored: "I didn't expect Archbishop Raven to remember me. It's an honor."
"I don't know if Knight Colin is here, what's the matter?"
"That's it, I actually want to buy some holy water, next time I can save myself if I get seriously injured again."
Since the last advancement, Colin has started the idea of holy water for the church. It's rare to be free at this time, so he naturally wants to get some holy water to drink That's how it turned out. Then please follow me. "The old priest nodded, and led Colin through the prayer hall to the back.
Actually, the church selling holy water has long been the norm.
Moreover, the price is extremely expensive.
Not only did the church not feel ashamed of this, but rather justified it—"The gift of the gods requires a price."
The two soon came to a small house in the back hall.
The furnishings in the house are simple, with only a holy water basin the size of a bathtub in the center.
The water in the pool is as smooth as a mirror, glowing with a holy light of milky white.
Of course this is holy water, but it is diluted.
Ke Lin resisted the urge to ransack the church, and handed the water bag to the old pastor: "Please fill it up for me."
"OK."
"Gudong...Gudong..."
The old priest quickly filled the water bag, and then returned it to Colin: "Knight Colin, there are thirty gold coins in total."
really black!
You know, these holy waters are diluted, not the pure holy water that Archbishop Raven gave to Colin.
As for how many times to dilute.
According to Colin's understanding, the church's common practice is a thousand times.
Therefore, the true content of all the holy water in the holy pool of the church in front of me is probably not as good as the small bottle of concentrated water in the hands of Archbishop Raven.
And now Colin spent a huge sum of money to buy a whole water bag of holy water, it is estimated that almost one or two drops of pure holy water diluted.
Colin was in pain, but he had to hand over thirty gold coins to the old priest.
first try if it works.
Colin bid farewell to the old priest and left this "black shop".
