Chapter 884: The Vatimio Brothers and Sisters (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Tap, tap, tap...
With the sound of horse hooves trampling on the road, a heavily armed army Knights in ornate plate armor were advancing slowly along the road.
The merchants, mercenaries, and travelers all around looked in surprise and awe after seeing their flags.
Because this team of knights does not belong to any noble lord or king, but to the King's Hall, which represents the divine authority.
As an existence similar to the European medieval papal states on earth, although the military power of the French King's Hall is not worth mentioning, its political influence is terrifying.
Everything from ordinary people’s spiritual beliefs to weddings and funerals to the coronation of kings needs their recognition and endorsement, otherwise you may encounter a lot of troubles and problems.
The most important thing is that the nobles will use this as an excuse to launch reasonable and legal rebellions, taking the opportunity to expand their family's power and weaken the prestige of the royal family.
So although the "divine right of kings" helps rulers quickly establish authority and prevents the common people at the bottom from easily resisting, it also places themselves under the supreme authority of the religious system.
Anything that may conflict with religion can become extremely troublesome.
Therefore, the attitude of most people at the bottom towards the King's Hall is one of respect and fear.
The respect is that they represent the only true God in the world. Anyone who does not want to go to hell after death and endure eternal torture and torture must give up his faith.
What I am afraid of is the religious tithe in addition to the share paid to the noble lords, and the possibility of religious persecution such as being labeled as a heretic, a heretic, or a witch.
After all, the power of interpretation lies in the hands of the priests, and priests are also human beings and will have their own greed and desires.
For example, a young priest fell in love with a beautiful girl or widow and wanted to take her as his own and become his lover, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.
Then he took a grudge and found an opportunity to slander and frame the other party as a heretic or a witch. He wanted to poison the towns and villages where he was with terrible witchcraft, and finally incited the people to tie him to a pillar and burn him alive.
The same method can also be used to confiscate property reasonably and legally on some businessmen and workshop owners who have little background power but have small property.
In addition to the darkness and sin of the church itself, many civilians will also report and frame each other because of negative emotions such as envy, jealousy, hatred, and anger.
In addition, the god worshiped by the King's Hall is the God of the Abyss, so the entire church has a creepy and terrifying atmosphere from top to bottom.
Looking at the avoidance attitude of the surrounding civilians at this moment, you will know how terrible this kind of religious oppression is.
Perhaps the only thing that makes passers-by feel a little curious and maybe take a second look is the young female knight riding a horse at the front, who is also the leader of this religious knighthood - Farnese Du... Vatimio.
After all, female knights are rare these days, and young and beautiful female knights are even rarer.
While many people were discussing who this woman was and which famous aristocratic family she came from, a handsome young man with squinting eyes and a fox face quickly rode on his horse He caught up from behind the team and reported in a low voice: "Captain, according to your instructions, I have found out everything clearly."
"Oh? What happened in this kingdom?"
< br>Farnese asked without looking back.
Because after crossing the border, she clearly felt that this country was different from other feudal kingdoms.
For example, commerce and handicrafts are extremely prosperous, and the living standards of the lower class are relatively good. At least they are not hungry, and their mental outlook is not like that of serfs and sharecroppers in other places. What was left was a lifeless numbness, but there was an inexplicable vitality.
Everyone seems to know what they want to do and are always busy.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, this young lady would simply not believe that there was such a country on this continent.
“It’s very simple, the royal family and the nobility of this country have all been overthrown.
It is said that a foreign prince made a marriage contract with the Roald family and then used it as the basis to launch a war to conquer the entire country.
Not long ago, the army he led fought a decisive battle with the aristocratic coalition, destroying all resistance forces.
The royal capital did not even engage in any stubborn resistance. Under the leadership of the municipal council, it directly opened the city gate and surrendered.
Now this country is the property of the foreign prince.
Perhaps these anomalies we see are what he brought from his own country.
This included distributing land to serfs and tenant farmers, and replacing the nobility with citizens including merchants, craftsmen, and military officers. ”
The squinted young man shook out all the information he had learned.
It is not difficult to see from the expression on his face that he himself is quite unbelievable about this.< br>
After all, in this continent dominated by the nobility, this is the first time in thousands of years that an anti-noble can rise to power and seize power.
Especially in the process of conquest. It was so fast that no surrounding country could react, let alone mobilize troops to intervene
This kind of madness that completely ignored the existing rules, laws and order deeply shocked him, who had followed the rules since he was a child.
Farnese asked very doubtfully: "Isn't that foreign prince afraid of being attacked by the nobles of other countries by doing this?
You must know the nobles of this kingdom. But there is a tradition of marriage with nobles from neighboring countries.
Even the queen married by the king is a princess from another country.
By the way, the king and his queen after the fall of the royal capital. , How is the heir? ”
The squinted young man obviously hesitated for a moment, but still answered with a wry smile: "The king and all the men in the royal family were beheaded in public.
The queen, princess and women were all demoted to prostitutes and had to receive at least ten people every day. From a few to dozens of guests.
As long as they can afford it, anyone can suppress these formerly aristocratic women and ravage them.
As for the interference from other countries around them. It can't be said that there is no such thing.
A count and his allies once gathered an army of 6,000 people to launch an invasion from the border, but were easily defeated by the 2,000-man defenders who arrived later. Even he was captured and nailed alive on the city wall in public
Obviously, this prince will not play those war games between nobles, let alone the ransom.
Once it falls into his hands, whether it is a noble or a king, there is only one result, and that is death.
Oh, yes, one more thing.
The excuse for this foreign prince to launch the war is that the nobles of this country have turned into greedy, bloodthirsty, and cruel monsters.
So he stood up to uphold justice and ensure the safety of civilians' lives and property. ”
"What? He actually dares to use us!"
Farnese's eyes widened in surprise, and at the same time an uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
Because in her eyes, who is extremely devout to God, this is blatant blasphemy and should be tied to a pillar and burned alive.
“Shh——
Keep your voice down!
That foreign prince is not the kings and nobles we have met before.
The first thing he did after occupying the royal capital was to confiscate all the church lands, and then arrest all the priests for trial.
Through almost cruel torture, he exposed all the dirty deeds done within the church to the sun for everyone to see.
Otherwise, what do you think is going on with the weird attitudes and looks of passers-by around you?
So no matter what happens, don’t be impulsive.
Because you have offended this foreign prince, he will not care about the King's Hall and the Vatimio family behind you.
So promise me, no matter what, don't act out of emotion. "
While saying this, the squinted young man's tone suddenly became serious and serious.
"Serpico, are you worried about my safety? ? ”
Farnese turned his head and stared into the other person’s eyes.
The young man known as Serpico nodded without thinking: "That's right. Because what we are going to face next is a subversive, a madman who doesn't care about any rules. It's impossible to predict what he will do. Action. There are also dangers that may arise due to your identity and status."
"Okay, I will pay attention to it."
The eldest lady stopped after saying this. Ignoring anyone else, he walked along the road to the location of the royal capital.
After several days of marching, she finally arrived at this ancient city with hundreds of years of history at dusk.
However, when they saw the construction teams that were dismantling the city wall densely like ants, everyone felt confused and puzzled.
Because for a city, the two most important things are the city wall and the moat.
Especially the city wall, in addition to resisting foreign enemies, also has a very important function, which is to maintain public order.
After all, in this world where bandits are rampant, the difference between having a city wall and not having a city wall can be said to be worlds apart.
With a city wall, at least when the security situation drops significantly, the city gates can be closed, and house-to-house searches and encirclements can be carried out. The criminals will have some scruples.
But if there were no city walls, people could come and leave whenever they wanted, and they could rob markets, shops, and other places more than a dozen times a day. Merchants would not be able to do business well, and over time the entire city would be affected by this. And decline and die.
Therefore, both the eldest lady Farnese and her attendant Serpico were very puzzled by this.
But as outsiders, they could not directly ask questions. They could only endure their curiosity and enter the city through one of the entrances guarded by guards.
In an instant!
The noisy cries, shouts, and quarrels echoed in my ears.
At a glance, both sides of the street are full of vendors setting up stalls, and there are so many pedestrians that they almost block the entire road.
The hustle and bustle that hits you is simply not like a capital city where a large-scale war and regime change have just broken out.
There is not even a hint of fear for the patrolling soldiers on people's faces.
What happened?
On the one hand, it is the tragedy of the nobles, and on the other hand, it is the happiness and joy of the common people at the bottom.
The eldest lady has more questions in her mind.
Because even in places where her family rules, ordinary people would subconsciously avoid guards when they see them.
Otherwise, if a noble travels to avoid it and fails to do so in time, the entire stall may be torn down.
Just when she was puzzled, a man in a blue robe came over on horseback, put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and greeted politely: "Afternoon Well, Miss Farnese du Wattimio. I am Bertrand, the steward of the royal family and the steward of the palace. I would like to welcome you on behalf of your majesty.”
“Your majesty?”
Selpigao was obviously stunned for a moment.
As far as he knew, no bishop of the French King's Hall Church had ever held a coronation ceremony for this foreign prince, so in theory it was illegal to proclaim himself king without permission.
"Yes. Just a few days ago, His Majesty put on the crown and became the monarch of this country with the support of the Parliament."
Bertrand affirmed without thinking reply.
Although he himself feels quite uneasy about this behavior of defying the Church of the King of Kings, considering the brilliant military achievements of the master he is currently loyal to, he is not too afraid of the possible coalition forces formed by neighboring countries. .
After all, the army under Zuo Si is rapidly transitioning from cold weapons to firearms.
Especially after taking control of the entire country's population of more than 2.5 million and a large number of craftsmen, the number of bronze cannons alone reached dozens.
On the frontal battlefield, the horrific damage caused by this thing to infantry and cavalry units is obvious to all. Basically, a few rounds of salvos can collapse the opponent's morale.
In addition, the reserves of powder barrels and primitive grenades are also steadily increasing.
The most important thing is that due to breakthroughs in steel-making technology, weapons such as muskets, which originally only existed in the theoretical design stage, were finally created.
Although the range is still very short and the barrel is prone to overheating and exploding after continuous firing, hundreds of muskets formed into an array can definitely cause a devastating blow to the attacking enemy.
Even the best full-body armor of a nobleman within fifty meters may be penetrated and killed by lead bullets in an instant.
What's more, the new kingdom established by Zuo Si is completely different from the organizational and mobilization capabilities under the feudal system in the past.
If a war breaks out, it will only take about two or three weeks to directly raise an army of 100,000 people.
Because according to the agreement, all tenant farmers and serf families who obtained land were obliged to provide a young and middle-aged labor force to become soldiers.
The reason why we don’t recruit so many people now is because we don’t need them for the time being, and the other reason is that the finances can’t support so many people.
"Can you tell me the name of His Majesty the new king?"
Farnese resisted the urge to accuse the other party of being disrespectful and asked with a straight face in a routine tone.
Bertrand responded with a smile: "His Majesty's name is Roald I. You can call him that later."
"Roald I? He used Roald I. The surname of the German family instead of his own?"
Serpico's narrowed eyes widened in an instant to show the unrest in the director's heart.
Because in his opinion, a lunatic like Zuo Si who doesn't care about rules and authority at all should be an extremely arrogant person.
How could he use the surname of the Roald family that he held in his hands?
Especially Miss Mana, whose entire family was dead except for herself, should be just a plaything in the opponent's hands.
If it were him, he would definitely terminate this marriage and marry a royal princess to increase the legitimacy of his rule.
Did the foreign prince really fall in love with the young lady from the Roald family?
While Serpico was thinking wildly, Berante spread his hands with a helpless expression and explained: "Sorry, we don't quite understand what His Majesty thinks about this.
But He has indeed never said his last name on any occasion.
So we infer that he may want to make a break with the past in this way.
Only in this way can he be whole. I will devote myself wholeheartedly to my new role.
Well, that’s it for the small talk. Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace.
Now please come with me. ”
With the last word blurted out, Berante made a gesture of invitation, and then took the lead through the path on the other side, directly to the main entrance of the palace.
As a continuation of rule The royal residence for more than three hundred years, it has gone through several generations of construction and renovation, and it looks very majestic.
In addition to the castle used as a defense, there are also quite a few courtyards, gardens, and gardens. Facilities such as palaces and towers.
Especially a small underground river that emerges from the ground, providing the cleanest water source for the entire palace.
Several of the unique and exquisite fountain sculptures can be called simply beautiful.
The plants in the garden are specially taken care of. Not only do they grow very lush, but they are also trimmed very neatly.
Several beautiful pet cats and dogs were running around and playing, and occasionally a captive bird would land on the branches and chirp sweetly.
If they had not known what happened here in advance, no one would have thought that this place had just changed its owner, and the original owner's fate was very miserable.
When approaching the main hall of the palace, Serpico first discovered several cannons standing in the bunker above, as well as strange weapons like slender iron pipes in the hands of the guards.
For some reason, when he faced the black muzzle, strong uneasiness and fear emerged in his heart.
But fortunately, this situation did not last long and disappeared completely after entering the main hall.
When Berante bent down and respectfully completed the report, Serpico noticed the figure on the throne.
Young!
Too young!
It looks almost like myself!
This was his first impression of Zuo Si.
What followed was an aura and pressure that could not be described in words.
When those black eyes stared directly at him, Serpico immediately lowered his head instinctively and did not dare to look at them.
Because those eyes seemed to penetrate the body and see his heart and soul.
nervous!
Uneasy!
Shiver!
Fear!
It was as if every cell in his body was reminding him to run away.
But for some reason, my feet seemed to have taken root and I couldn't move a step.
In contrast, the eldest young lady Farnese, whose psychological quality was even worse, collapsed on the ground with a plop, her hands folded across her chest and trembling constantly, and tears could not stop flowing down her eyes.
You don’t need to ask to know that these half-brothers and sisters were actually affected by the fearful aura of the great devil.
Zuo Si deliberately released a little of his power, intending to test the quality of the two of them.
In the end, Serpico's performance did not disappoint him, but Farnese was somewhat defeated.
But it's no wonder.
As the legitimate daughter of the Vatimio family, Farnese has lived in an environment with high material abundance but insufficient care since she was a child, and must endure loneliness and loneliness for a long time.
Anyone who knows a little bit about psychology and child education will understand that children who grow up in this environment will never be healthy internally.
When she was asked by her father to get married when she was sixteen years old, she was mentally stimulated and completely lost control, setting the entire mansion on fire and burning it down, causing a terrible tragedy.
Later, when I entered the monastery, I was brainwashed and poisoned by religion. I was eager to use my faith to strengthen my weak will. I always thought that I was some kind of evil and filthy existence. I would often secretly kneel in front of the statue of the god and use a whip. Beat yourself to atone for your sins. So strictly speaking, this is a girl who is in a confused period of life, and she also has some mental problems.
The most important thing to fight against the supernatural power of fear aura is one's willpower.
Fox-faced Serpico had made up his mind to protect his half-sister a long time ago, so he did not feel any confusion in his heart, but was extremely determined, so he managed to hold on without collapse in the end.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Berante obviously noticed the reaction of the two young people behind him, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Zuo Si smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing. You have nothing to do here. Go down. Not only you, but also the guards. I want to talk to them alone."
"As you said I wish!”
Berante bowed with one hand on his chest, and then motioned with his eyes to the guards in the hall to go out with him.
With the sound of the door closing, there were only three people left in the empty hall.
I saw Zuo Si slowly standing up from the throne and walking down the stairs step by step. As he walked, he asked Fox Face: "As an attendant to the head of the Knights of the King's Hall, your sword skills should be good, right?" ?”
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty."
Selbig lowered his head and tried to look humble and respectful.
Although he had known for a long time that this mission might be a big trouble, he never expected that it would become such a problem just after they met.
"Haha, don't be so formal, just treat it as a chat between friends. Come on, pull out your sword and let me see your swordsmanship."
With that said, Zuo Si pulled out his sword He took out the ceremonial sword he had on him that had no edge at all.
Seeing this, Serpico hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, no, how could I dare to draw my sword in front of you? After all, your bravery has been proved enough in previous wars, and I am just an insignificant little guy." Just a little servant."
"Modestity is a virtue, but being too modest is a kind of hypocrisy. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I know how to make you draw the sword."
Zuo Si's face. A trace of amusement emerged, and he walked up to the eldest lady and opened the gaps in the opponent's armor at a speed that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
The next second...
Farnese's armor quickly fell off, revealing the close-fitting silk clothing underneath.
Before she could react, Zuo Si pulled her up and held her in his arms. One of his hands slowly slid up along her waist, and finally stopped near her chest.
"Well, I didn't expect that your figure is unexpectedly good. It must be the result of these two years of knight training. Maybe I should consider bringing you into the harem and becoming my own woman."
As these words blurted out, Serpico's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately drew his sword and threatened: "Let go of our leader! Immediately! Immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
< br>“Hahahaha!
Look, didn’t you draw your sword?
Now come and play with me.
Remember to give it your all, otherwise I guarantee she will appear in my bed tonight.
And it is possible to get pregnant and give birth within a few weeks at most. ”
After saying that, Zuo Si pulled away Farnese’s bun, letting the latter’s long golden hair scatter directly, and with an almost perverted movement, he grabbed a strand of hair and sniffed the ends.
As a typical "girl control", Serpico was instantly angered by this action and swung the thin sword in his hand to stab the opponent directly
The eyes that were always smiling also revealed a cold and piercing killing intent.
There is no doubt that this is the true face he has been trying to hide.
Even Gus, who is known as the strongest human being, has suffered losses from him in certain terrains and was almost killed little by little.
Cang!
With the crisp sound and golden sparks from the collision of the sword blades, Zuo Si successfully parried and blocked this rather sharp and deadly attack.
Not only that, he also moved the hand holding the eldest lady upwards and grabbed it where it shouldn't be.
“Ah!!!!!”
Farnese screamed uncontrollably in an instant, but due to the influence of the fear aura, he could not use the strength at all, so he could only He watched helplessly as that big hand violated him wantonly.
“Bastard!”
Serpico launched rapid thrusts again and again like crazy, but without exception, he was blocked by the unedged ceremonial sword. down.
That kind of speed and reaction that came first made him experience strong frustration and despair for the first time.
Because the more he attacks, the more he becomes aware of the overwhelming gap in strength between himself and his opponent.
Even between several attacks, the opponent could clearly make a counterattack and knock him to the ground, but he took it back at the last moment.
So for him, this is not a battle or a discussion at all, but a naked crushing and humiliation.
"Why, is this all you have? It's so disappointing. It seems you need more stimulation to stimulate your potential."
As he was speaking, the sword in Zuo Si's hand suddenly changed direction and struck the eldest lady twice.
In an instant!
Several huge gaps immediately appeared in Farnese's scanty underwear, and the large areas of fair skin inside were completely exposed to the air.
Especially the scars from the whipping on the back during self-abuse are clearly visible.
“Huh?
Unexpectedly, Miss Vatimio, who comes from a noble family, would have such an unknown hobby.
If word spreads, I am afraid it will cause a sensation in the entire aristocratic circle.
If you don’t want this matter to spread, then you’d better be obedient and don’t move.
In the evening, I will find time to teach you the skills in this area alone. ”
Zuo Si gently stroked the eldest lady’s back covered with whip marks, continuing to stimulate the most sensitive nerve of the fox-faced young man.
"No!!!! Take your dirty hands off Farnese!"
Serpico roared and rushed forward, his eyes revealing determination and madness.
The moment he rushed forward, he suddenly threw the rapier towards Zuo Si's eyes, and then pulled out two weapons hidden behind his belt that were between a dagger and a dagger.
Cang!
As the rapier was knocked away, this guy finally seized the fleeting opportunity and stabbed the two fatal parts of the heart and kidney at the same time.
If it were someone else, they might not have time to defend themselves in this situation, and they would have to push the eldest lady in their arms out as a shield.
And this is exactly what Serpico wants to achieve.
But Zuo Si was obviously not an ordinary person. He directly raised his leg and kicked the opponent's vital part between the legs.
Bang!
“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!”
Accompanied by heart-rending screams, Serpico, who had been so menacing just now, immediately fell to the ground with a plop, curling up into a ball like a cooked prawn, with snot and tears flowing down uncontrollably. .
Obviously, even though Zuo Si didn't use much force, it still made him taste life worse than death.
After all, moves like this, which specialize in the lower third lane, have always been extremely despised in the aristocratic circles.
Serpico would never have thought in his wildest dreams that Zuo Si, who was already the king, would use such a damaging move.
“Serpico!”
Seeing that his attendant was severely injured, Farnese immediately struggled to free himself from the restraints, but gave up after only a few seconds.
Because during her struggle, the tattered clothes on her body were completely torn apart, and she could only use her hands to cover the torn cloth to cover her private parts.
She was very afraid that the other party would suddenly become animalistic, so she did it to herself here.
But fortunately, Zuo Si obviously had no such intention. Instead, he focused all his attention on Serpico, knocked the fox-faced head with the unedged sword in his hand, and teased with a smile. Said: "With your current strength, it is not easy to protect this eldest lady. If I want, she will be mine from tonight."
"You...you Aren’t you afraid of the revenge of the King’s Hall and the Wattimio family?”
Serpico endured the debilitating pain and raised his head to question.
“Of course I’m not worried.
Because my original goal is to unify this continent.
Whether it is the King’s Hall or the Vattimio family, They are just stumbling blocks that must be cleared on this road.
Sooner or later I will kick them away one by one.
What's more, I have now obtained a kingdom, and it won't be long before I continue to launch wars to completely destroy the nobles of surrounding countries and establish a new, more advanced ruling structure.
Those rotten and old things will crumble and disintegrate in the roar of the new era. "
When he said these words, Zuo Si exuded a strong and confident aura from head to toe, as if what he said was the highest truth that cannot be questioned.
"You are dreaming! Blasphemous people like you will definitely attract divine punishment! "Farnese mustered up the courage to retort sharply.
" Blasphemy?
You are so innocent and cute.
Because the god you believe in is not angry at what I have done, but is trying to bring me into its camp to be its agent.
Well, this is the best proof. ”
Zuo Si straightforwardly took out the red Behelite that had appeared beside him inexplicably before, also known as the “Overlord’s Egg.”
You don’t need to ask to know that the God of the Abyss has I am very satisfied with the evil tendency shown by Zuo Si.
In addition, he himself is actively integrating into the law of cause and effect, so it is not surprising that he will receive the Overlord's Egg as a reward.
"Overlord's egg! You...how do you have such a thing?"
Farnese was obviously surprised.
Because the Sin Conviction Tower in the King's Hall was originally the place where Boyd, the Hand of God, was imprisoned.
So there were manuscripts about him and some specious and vague prophecies left there.
This also means that the Fawang Hall does not know anything about the Overlord's Egg like others, but vaguely knows what it means.
“Of course it was given to me by the god you believe in.
In this world, everyone’s destiny is controlled by it.
Your life has never been It was arranged the moment you came into the world.
Whether you obey or resist, there will be no change.
Because resisting fate is also part of fate.
How about it, does it sound desperate?
What is even more despairing is that all of this stems from the darkness and evil in human hearts.
In other words, humans created gods and longed for gods to arrange their own destiny.
And the created God responded to your request. ”
Zuo Si played with the Overlord's Egg in his hand with a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone.
After all, in the Warhammer universe, humans can only be regarded as victims of the Chaos God of Warp at best. It is not they who created Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh.
When the Old Ones fought against the Necron, the primates were not yet known to have entered the stage of history.
But in this world, the best thing for human beings is to die in silence.
"No!!! This is all false! You are talking nonsense! How can God be dark and evil!"
The eldest lady's spirit suddenly collapsed and she yelled at Zuo Si like crazy.
As a very emotionally unstable person, her heart has always been very fragile.
Whether it was when he learned that he had to marry an unknown person at the age of sixteen and caused him to lose control of his emotions, or later when he met Gus and witnessed the existence of the apostles, he began to deny his belief in God in his heart.
“Nonsense?
How about we try it?
Now, you can pray to your god to see if it will perform a miracle to save you.
If nothing happens, then something very scary will happen next. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si tore to pieces the last bit of fabric covering Farnese’s body, and then slowly approached in a very slow but extremely oppressive way.
Although strictly speaking he is not a strong anti-religious person, and even thinks that religion is a good tool for governance, he is still full of disgust for this kind of monotheistic religion with a strong exclusive nature
Because. Such religions usually try to turn everything around them into binary oppositions of black and white, and can only alleviate internal conflicts by constantly releasing pressure to the outside.
"Don't... don't come over!"
Farnese was obviously frightened.
Because since she was born, with her noble blood and status, she has never been treated so rudely.
But Zuo Si sneered and urged: "Pray!
Why don't you pray to your god?
Do you know that it will never come to save you?
Open your eyes and look at the farmers who were sentenced because they could not pay the religious tithe, and then look at the refugees who were starved to death for serving God devoutly.
Tell me where is your god?
Why doesn’t it save its own believers?
Either this god does not exist at all, or it is a completely evil god who likes to see his followers suffer pain and torture. ”
"That's enough! Don't force Farnese anymore. I swear that I will do anything for you from now on, as long as you let her go."
Serpico struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes revealed. A look of prayer.
Because he knows that if he continues to force himself like this, his sister will definitely go crazy, and it will never be cured.
"Oh? What can you do for me?"
Zuo Si stopped and turned around with a playful expression.
"I know the relationship between the King's Hall and various Eastern countries, and I also know the situation of various noble families. If you want to conquer this continent, then I should be able to be a good helper, or even a spy."
Serpico didn't dare to be negligent and showed all his effects in one breath.
“Sounds good.
But to ensure your loyalty, Farnese will live with me from now on.
If there is any attempt You should know best the consequences of concealing some important information or signs of betrayal.
Don't worry, I won't be touching her anytime soon.
At least not until half the continent is unified. ”
After that, Zuo Si took off his cloak and covered the eldest lady who was almost naked and on the verge of mental collapse.
Because for him, this is a very useful heart. The chess piece can not only be used to control Serpico to work for him, but the magic talent he possesses is also of great research value.
Seeing that the other party has not further violated his half-sister, The fox-faced man breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground as if he was weak, panting and saying: "If you want to know something, you can ask questions now. I promise to tell you everything I know. ”
"Very good, I like your attitude."
Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction, then asked unceremoniously: "Have you heard about the rumors about the black swordsmen and the Eagle Group? ?”
“The Swordsman in Black?
Sorry, I haven’t heard of it.
But the Eagle Group has heard of it.
They are the only mercenary group that transformed from mercenaries into nobles during the Hundred Years War between the Kingdom of Mitlan and the Yoda Empire.
Not only was the establishment of the White Phoenix Knights established, but the leader Griffith was also canonized as a noble general.
This is a strange sight that has not appeared in hundreds of years.
Some nobles even ridiculed the king of the Kingdom of Mitland for being old and foolish, and actually promoted a group of untouchables to nobles.
But later, for some unknown reason, Griffith, the leader of the Eagle Group, was arrested for raping the princess.
Other members also fell apart in the long-term siege and bounty.
What happened next is unknown. ”
Serpico spoke at a leisurely pace and shook out all the information he knew.
Although he was a little confused as to why Zuo Si would be interested in a dying mercenary group. So interested.
“That’s it! In other words, sacrifice and demon promotion have probably already happened..."
Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered softly.
Although the information was very limited, he roughly confirmed that the time he was currently living in was probably the period after Griffith became a demon and Guts went on a solo mission to hunt down the apostles.
Griffith should not have completed his reincarnation and returned to the world to become the Eagle of Light and establish his own country.
