Tyrant Code

Seeing the scene where Goldo and Yatricia Horne "love each other", Duke De Monte felt that he was not well.

Your Majesty, please be sober, Your Majesty.

You are doomed to be the king of darkness when you are lonely, what are you doing with Horn, a sinister, cunning, scheming, and pious priest?

In De Monte's cognition, Gordo and Atricia are the top powerhouses of dark magic and light magic respectively, but their relationship is as inherently opposite as darkness and light, and there will never be a possibility of harmonious coexistence.

He put down his wine glass, took a few deep breaths, his expression was a little tense, and he looked a little... heartbroken?

Lord: "..."

Is Yatricia Horn that bad?

But soon, the Duke put away all the inappropriate expressions on his face.

"What was Horn teaching him?" asked the Duke cautiously.

Lord: "Some theological lessons."

Indeed, in the Seranca Empire, every nobleman had to receive a different degree of theological education before reaching adulthood. Although it was not required to be proficient in various theological classics, at least he could not be blind.But since not everyone is gifted in magic, this class is no different from a literature class for most noble children.

It is not impossible for Horn to form an alliance with the Moran family and come to be this cheap teacher...

This is most likely just a coincidence.It must be his mental allergies.

In all fairness, that guy Horn looks like a dog, with blond hair and green eyes, combined with the bright holy light when he casts light magic... that sacred breath can fool people.Besides, his Majesty is only a child under 12 years old. Isn't it normal for children of this age to admire their knowledgeable teachers?

Duke De Monte couldn't help comforting himself.

"I remember your son...isn't he 12 years old this year?" Duke Demont asked suddenly.

"If you are asking about my eldest son, he will soon be 12 years old." The lord nodded and replied, "Next month is his 12th birthday, and it should be held in the small church in the city." Baptism."

And nothing unexpected... The person who presided over the baptism ceremony should be the priest of this city, Atrichia Horn.

It is a matter of "luck" for ordinary people to preside over this ceremony that symbolizes adulthood by one's own teacher.

Because this ceremony is actually quite frustrating.

First of all, you must wear only a white robe and accept the baptism of holy water from head to toe three times.If it is in the cold winter days, pouring cold water like this three times, let alone a 12-year-old child, even an adult may not be able to stand it.Therefore, the parents of the children will usually save the firewood expenses in winter and send them to the church, hoping that they will at least help heat the ice water into warm water.In addition, children who receive the baptism ceremony must kneel in front of the statue and receive three whippings from the priest, which means to get rid of their own filth and become more pure in spirit in pain.Similar to wiping dust off your body with a feather duster.Generally speaking, churches used soft whips, and the head of the whip was made of soft wax. It only left a red mark on the body, and it didn't hurt much.But if you run into an old priest who sticks to the teachings to the point of pervert, insisting that you accept the revelation of the Holy Lord with the most real pain in this rare baptism ceremony-then you are in trouble.This kind of pastor's whip head is made of solid iron, and a layer of skin can be scraped off when it is hit. If you don't pay attention to hygiene conditions, it may cause wound infection afterwards.

Horne is definitely a novice when it comes to conducting baptisms.If the object of his presiding ceremony is his student, then of course he will be merciful.

Of course, no matter whether you encounter gentle or cruel treatment during the baptism ceremony, you cannot escape the last hurdle—the holy crystal ball test.

If the crystal ball can be made to shine, the child will have a bright future.In the Celanca Empire, the clergy not only represented decent careers and considerable income, powerful clergy could even find a position in the Holy See and participate in the country's politics.

Just like now, No. 1 under the king is not the queen or the crown prince, or even some noble or political figure, but the pope.

The pope has a natural superior position in the politics of the country.Because he has the right to speak of the gods.It's not that the pope's opinions will be adopted by the king, but when the king proposes a policy, the pope always has veto power.The Pope can always quote scriptures and find all kinds of excuses to oppose policies he doesn't like. The sentence "You are disobeying the Holy Lord" is enough for the king to drink a pot.The king has always thought that the pope's approach was very hooligan.

It is not an ancient tradition for the Pope to interfere in state affairs.If we really want to pursue it, it probably originated from the days when the Queen Mother was in charge after Queen Anna went crazy.Relying on the support of the Holy See, the Queen Mother succeeded in running the kingdom and elected a new king who had a thin blood relationship with the original royal family.The new king used to have no roots and could only be attached to the Pope and Queen Mother—but now it is different.The Queen Mother has passed away, and the Pope is getting old. The King is about to survive this period of being controlled by others, and is ready to turn himself into the master of the house, and the Duke of Demont is his pawn.

The "pawn" pondered for a while, and felt that the relationship between Horn and His Majesty could be severed after the baptism ceremony - His Majesty possessed the talent for dark magic, since he didn't plan to enter the seminary to study, he had to go to develop in other directions.

"After your son's christening ceremony is over, how about letting him study at the National Imperial College?" Duke Demont asked.

The National Imperial Academy is an institution as famous as the Divine Academy.The seminary trains elite priests, and the National Imperial College trains all kinds of top talents in China.Almost all the dignitaries who took root in the imperial capital sent their own children to this academy.The academy was originally funded by the royal family, and it was called the royal family's back garden at the time. Although the royal family's influence has declined somewhat, Duke De Monte is still an undeniable figure in it.

The meaning of the Duke of Demont is obvious. He wants to recruit the Moran family, especially Gordo. What makes the lord wonder why is Gordo?

The lord was silent for a moment, then replied prudently, "It's up to him to make up his own mind."

The lord really didn't want Gordo to enter the seminary. In comparison, the National Imperial Academy was simply a better choice.

But he also had to worry about Gordon's mood.The best colleges could not match his son's wishes.He decides to let Gordon choose for himself.

From the Duke of De Monte's point of view, the lord's answer was simply ignorant.But unexpectedly, the Duke didn't show any irritation of being rejected, but replied straightforwardly: "Okay."

Demont has confidence in the golden sign of National Imperial College.On the contrary, he himself could not show too much concern for Goldo Moran, otherwise it would make people doubt his motive for recommending Goldo to enter the National Imperial College.

...but he just couldn't help it.

His majesty, the majesty who is not yet 12 years old.

Even though His Majesty is still young, this cannot conceal his extraordinary prowess.

Ah, how majestic your Majesty's figure is in single-handedly challenging the troops of the three counties of the enemy country!How shocking is His Majesty's power to blow up more than 300 buildings before and after the Holy See!Just thinking about it makes De Monte dazzled and his blood boils.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the terrace outside the window again.

Horn's teeth-gritting figure was gone.In his place was his brother Burrien Moran.There was also a group of friends who came with Burrion, they surrounded Gordo, surrounded him like stars surrounded the dazzling moon.

And the moon smiled gently, handling everyone with ease.

After Burrion and his little friends dispersed, a little girl with red hair came out arrogantly, her skirt seemed to be stained by red wine.Her cheeks were slightly flushed with sullenness, and her lips opened and closed, as if arguing with Gordon.Goldo calmly picked out a pink flower from a vase on the side, took off the ruby ​​brooch on his chest, fixed the flower skillfully on her skirt, covered the wine stain, and then He straightened up familiarly, performed a gentlemanly salute, successfully distracted the aggressive young girl opposite for a moment, then blushed shyly, turned around and ran away with a stomp.

Duke De Monte: "..."

His Majesty, from a certain point of view... seems very powerful.

So what happened to His Majesty, so that after ascending to the supreme throne, he has no friends around him? !
