Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Defense can only delay the destruction - we must attack and find a way to destroy this passage. This is the only way to save this world."

Kaos nodded approvingly.

"Very good, I probably know why the current emperor chose you—after knowing the truth, I didn't feel overwhelmed or despaired, but I immediately realized the correct behavior. This is very good, very good."

He closed the walls on all sides again, motioning for Claude to sit back at the desk.

"This is also the plan decided by the Pope back then - we must attack, go to the depths covered by the mist, find the wedge that Chaos nailed to this world, and completely destroy it, so as to cut off this passage."

"So Your Majesty led us to conquer the entire continent and establish an empire, in order to integrate all the power of the world and devote ourselves to this expedition to save the world."

Claude noticed an interesting point.

My own ancestor has always called "His Majesty the Pope", and his words are full of admiration and respect, but when facing the emperor, he only calls him emperor, without the word "Your Majesty", although he can hear respect, but There is no such admiration.

But...wasn't he the right-hand man of the first emperor?Or the Marshal of the Empire, shouldn't such a person be the mainstay of the Theocracy?

"Your Majesty the Ancestor, forgive me, but you seem to have more respect for the first Pope than for His Majesty the Emperor—are you a believer too?"

Just ask if you have any questions. The teachers praised Claude as a good boy who studies hard.

Kaos glanced at him, his surprise evident—he seemed to think that Claude asked a very stupid question.

"I am a pawn under the crown, but because of my status, I am serving in the empire. Will you give up your faith because of your boss? Although the crown asked me to serve as the marshal under Queen Julius, and Showing utter anti-theocracy, but that has nothing to do with who I respect."

Hey?

Claude's surprise was also evident, which aroused even more doubts in Kaos.

"What's going on? Is the relationship between the empire and the Holy Church not good now?"

Uh... If I really want to say it, it is indeed [bad relationship].

Claude struggled with the wording, and decided to popularize the knowledge for his ancestors.

"The Holy Cult has established an ecclesiastical state, and is competing with the empire for the sovereignty of the mainland. The two sides have already had a real conflict. It is estimated that the war broke out in the past two years."

"What did you say?"

Rao is someone like Kaos, when he heard Claude's words, he couldn't help but raise his voice, apparently beyond shock.

Claude repeated it again.

Kaos sat on the chair in a daze.

"The Holy Cult is completely independent? This is impossible. Your Majesty has been avoiding such a thing... What happened? Why did it become like this?"

He started talking to himself.

After a while, Kaos raised his head and looked at Claude.

"Claude, tell me about the current situation on the mainland, as well as the knowledge and information about history that you know. I must know what happened in the past 1000 years!"

"——Why, would someone dare to betray His Majesty's will!"

There was majestic anger in his tone.

The Burning World: Chapter 269 Chapter 240 Chapter [-] Why is it crooked

Claude really didn't expect that he came here to listen to the story, but now he wants to tell the story to others first.

But there is no way, after all, the other party is a super senior, so I can only obey

Anyway, this cheap ancestor of my own will tell me more later, and now I will treat it as a nest.

So the knight described the current situation on the mainland as briefly as possible, and there were some records in the history textbook of the Imperial Military University. He didn't say any of his own guesses, but just memorized all the paper documents.

At first, Kaos didn't move much, but as he listened, he unconsciously clenched his hands.

The fist is hard.jpg

After Claude talked about the collusion between the Theocracy and the elves to carve up the Principality of Wallachia, he already felt that something was wrong, but he still had to bite the bullet and finish.

"That woman... how dare she!"

Although the current Kaos should have no expressions or facial features, but Claude can already imagine his ancestor gnashing his teeth and squeezed out this sentence from his teeth.

"Your Excellency, the woman you mentioned... who is it?"

The knight asked knowingly——the other party must be the second-generation Pope who is in charge of running and expanding the Theocracy, and it is this person who Claude most urgently wants to know the relevant information.

"She is a student of His Majesty, and His Majesty has admitted it himself... Tsk, why is she——shouldn't she be the person who is the least likely to betray His Majesty..."

Kaos' tone was very confused.

"Uh, is that the second pope?"

"Yes, she is the only student who has ever been recognized by the crown. I, Alexander, and Vlad have not received such recognition, of course, not to mention the Queen Julius."

"Who are you talking about...? Is Queen Julius the first Her Majesty? Is Vlad the Grand Duke Vlad of the Principality of Wallachia?"

Claude expressed his ignorance carefully in his words.

"That's right, you probably don't know these things...Since the emperor asked you to come here, he obviously has high expectations for you. I hope I will tell you the truth about this place—then let's start from the beginning."

Claude lifted his spirits and began to listen to those dusty histories attentively.

"As I told you before, I'm actually just a slave, I don't even have a name, and then I was bought by the crown—my following is as simple as that."

Kaos nodded slightly, obviously recalling the past.

"It's not just me. Vlad was a refugee from Wallachia, and he was arrested and made a slave. Alexander was a freeman, but he offended the nobles. If you really want to say, he was even a slave after being caught. extravagant hope."

"Both Vlad and I were bought, and Alexander withdrew the arrest warrant because His Majesty helped him bribe the nobles—so in the beginning, that fellow Alexander was in charge of the two of us."

Claude didn't speak, just listened quietly.

After all, it is very likely that the other party has not told these stories with others for hundreds or thousands of years, and interrupting the other party in the middle is most likely to make yourself uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty is a good man and treats slaves very well. I can feel it, so I am also very obedient. After all, I have been a slave since I was born-but Vlad is different. He was a soldier before and was arrested again. The slave team caught it, so I just wanted to escape."

"Alexander is also a good man. He sympathizes with us very much. He used to be a teacher, and he will also teach us some words and knowledge-but his gratitude to His Majesty is doomed to allow the slaves to escape, so during that time they Fighting at both ends for three days."

"Perhaps you may find it strange why the crown doesn't care about it. Because according to the past rules, escaped slaves would have their heads cut off and put on wooden stakes at the entrance of the slave camp. Alexander didn't want Vlad to encounter such a thing, so he kept Leaving the truth aside, the two of them just want to escape and the other wants to be arrested."

"In the end, of course, Vlad was denounced by other slaves. After all, he can get the master's praise in this way-but the handling of the crown is very interesting. He cut off the informer's head, and publicly reprimanded Alexander. All the slaves in the camp, ask them how this man Alexander is."

"Many people feel that the crown is moody, so they dare not speak, and some are a little petty, flattering, saying that the other party has neglected their duties - obviously they used to kneel in front of Alexander so gratefully, thanking him for his care."

"I'm a little angry, obviously he is such a good person, but now no one is willing to speak up for him—so I came out alone and chose to speak up for Alexander."

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, he just glanced at me, and asked very politely why Vlad wanted to run away."

"Vlad said that he has people from Wallachia who escaped from Wallachia. As the strongest knight, he came out to explore the way alone, but was caught by the slave team. He wants to go back and find himself. tribe."

"His Majesty agreed to his request and gave him enough money to buy a large piece of land. There was only one request, that is, after the other party settled down with the tribe, he would become his guard for ten years, and then let Vlad leave. "

"Afterwards, Your Majesty asked me to hold Alexander by the arm, and followed him out of the camp—I only found out afterwards that this batch of slaves had been sold."

The man's voice was full of emotion.

"I asked Your Majesty why he executed the informant slave—he told me that spontaneous informers are the least trustworthy people, because they will do anything despicable to climb the ranks."

"I continued to ask, why did Vlad punish Alexander when he wanted to escape? His Majesty said that he didn't want to punish slaves for escaping or mismanaging such things-Alexander had one and only one crime, and that was Hide something from him."

"Why did you let Vlad go? Because Vlad is a real fighter. He never hit Alexander hard, nor did he cause damage in the camp, or entangle other people to make trouble. The other party has a bottom line in his heart, but There are people who can't let go, such people are worthy of his investment."

"The last question, of course, is about me—why did I stay?"

The armor raised its head, and looked at Claude through the hole under the visor.

"His Majesty said, 'You're a good boy and you deserve it'."

"Since then, Your Majesty has never bought slaves again. Instead, he has started to adopt children like me, and then let Alexander teach us lessons, teach us knowledge, and learn the textbooks he wrote himself, and then we follow His Majesty as followers. A businessman running around."

"That was the best time in my life - I still remember the scene of myself and a large group of classmates, carrying literacy boards, walking and following the convoy during the day while memorizing books while marching and exercising, and studying with Alexander and His Majesty at night."

"Afterwards, Vlad came back and brought back a dozen fighters like him—he really came back to repay his kindness to His Majesty, so His Majesty asked him to recruit soldiers, and then added to our curriculum Military courses."

"The people Vlad recruited back, together with us, was practiced by His Majesty himself. He said it was called [Military Training]—in addition to physical fitness, even the soldiers also had literacy, activities, ideological and cultural education and other activities. Something we had never heard of before."

"I used to be very curious, because most of these soldiers have no magic power. No one has ever cared about them, and no one has ever cared about what they can do on the battlefield. Only His Majesty will prepare so many for them .”

"Of course I also asked, His Majesty just patted my head and said to me—[Aren't they human beings just like us?]"

"Until one time, when we were attacked by a bandit disguised as a noble knight, I saw a soldier without any magic power slashing at a knight without any timidity or hesitation, even at the expense of exchanging wounds for wounds and death. When I died, I really realized what His Majesty taught us."

"He taught us -- the dignity of being human."

Claude listened quietly, and couldn't help but respect in his heart. It seems that it is not difficult for such an early pope to understand why so many people are willing to follow him.

It's a pity that such idealists are destined to be unable to truly create ideals in this world.

Because the time is too short and the class is too heavy.

If the opponent wants to complete the layout of Constantine before he is alive, he is doomed to rely on the power of knights and classes—ordinary people may exchange sons with loyal knights or even heroic knights with blood and courage. But what about further up?Knight of Justice?Glory knight?What about mages?

Claude has just entered the world, the strength of the Knight of Justice, adapting to the body while adapting to killing, easily solved dozens of fanatics and ordinary people.

Unsurprisingly, although the description in Kaos' mouth is still full of subjective beauty, a helpless and bitter choice has already been decided.

In the end, the first pope chose reality. He gave up such a long and ineffective means—he chose to participate in the political struggle of the Holy Empire Alliance, and supported an outcast and distinguished daughter.

In other words, the future First Empress of the Empire, Her Majesty Julius.

After that, there are plots like Shuangwen, those stories that have been recorded in the history books of the imperial court.

Therefore, Kaos and the others are the first and last military officers who know what [equality] is.

Before them, no one knew the existence of the word, and after them, no one knows the meaning of the word.

However, it is very strange that in such a long story, Claude did not hear the words about [Pope's student].

Although Kaos has always regarded the crown as a teacher or even a father-like existence, he has never claimed to be a student, and the woman who made him say so in an envious tone has never been in the story. appeared in.

But this is very unreasonable.

Because although my cheap ancestor was angry and jealous of the pope's female student at the beginning, he never questioned the legitimacy of the other party.

That is to say, even someone like Kaos, who has been with the first pope almost from the beginning, has been studying for so long, and can even be sent under the empress as an undercover person, all recognize the ability and identity of the other party, is it true? The existence that can be called a "student" - even if he himself did not get this title.

"Your Excellency...in your story, it seems that [the woman] you mentioned before, that is, the existence of the second Pope."

During the intermission of Kaos' story, Claude hesitated to ask this question.

"Well, indeed, because she has never appeared before. From the first time I saw her, Your Majesty has already called her his student."

"So this woman just popped up out of nowhere?"

Claude was very surprised.

It doesn't make sense, even someone who has studied with Kaos for so long is not considered a student——

How could a woman who appeared out of nowhere become a student of that kind of time traveler?

"Hmm...it shouldn't be? I don't dare to say that I have learned one percent of your knowledge and ability, but that woman obviously inherited the mantle."

Kaos tried hard to remember.

"Besides, I was already the Marshal of the Empire at that time. Because of His Majesty's request, I have been singing against the other party all the time, expressing my absolute anti-holy position, so I can't often see His Majesty—maybe it was the previous Majesty The students we accept may not be known."

"I see......"

Claude nodded slightly, which was quite reasonable. After all, Kaos' identity at the time, it was obviously impossible for that woman to be present when meeting the Pope. She was only eligible to meet political opponents when she left the army.

However, how could such a person who was recognized by the first pope lead the Church completely off the road?

A question emerged in the hearts of Claude and Kaos at the same time.

Now I still owe 21 updates, on the basis of one update per day, I will pay it off as soon as possible.

Then I will check the progress of the outline of my book after returning it, and then decide whether to offer a reward. If it is enough, I will open it again.

PS2: Because this book is mainly about history, politics, and military affairs, the author will keep a close eye on backstage posts and book reviews these days.

So it’s good for everyone to discuss the plot normally, don’t make any associations and interpretations, delete without explaining, if some readers find that there are too many irrelevant posts and book reviews, they will be banned directly.
