Chapter 384

The black emperor Gadamer has never been a taboo topic. His legend seems to set off the sanctity and greatness of the glorious church.

About 9000 years ago, the first Pope Enoch cooperated with the city-state knights to overthrow the tyranny of the chosen ones, formulate a glorious code, and open the era of CO governance of the knights, nobles and church clergy.

At that time, the Elves were far away and the barbarians were extinct. Human beings monopolized the territory of the two major races, and their ruling territory increased rather than decreased. After hundreds of years of cultivation and recuperation, the population size once surpassed the heyday of the God chosen era. However, the good times did not last long. The orc groups in the far north began to move south. They continued to harass and encroach on human territory. The population grew so strong that they captured several northernmost human city states.

Facing the threat of orcs, the knight families in the northern city states formed the foundation of human history precisely because the inheritors of Heraldry have unparalleled influence on the family leaders, and they can't have any selfishness. The big family secretly adopted babies as heraldry inheritors, fed them infertile drugs and arranged heterosexual partners for them, but they had no blood relatives, only students, no family, only family.

In a sense, the inheritor of Heraldry belongs to the category of family dead.

James is such a martyr. His opinion is absolutely objective.

"I think Baikal executed the black emperor not because he sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but because of imbalance." James's old voice echoed in the room, and the people listened quietly.

"Before the glorious calendar year, the blood of Knights was pure. Almost every city-state family had legendary knights. The number of Golden Knights was not large, but there were also many, and the status of silver Knights was only equivalent to that of today's knights. The city-state family was called the golden ancient family, and that era could be called the golden age."

"The death of the black emperor marked the end of the golden age and the beginning of the silver age. Until the emergence of the vassal system, the silver age entered the current bronze Knight age."

"According to the historical evolution, we can see that the church has been weakening the power of knights. Knights declined from the golden age before the glorious calendar to the silver age before the vassal system, and finally became the bronze age dominated by ordinary knights."

"The originator of all this is the first Pope Enoch!"

James coughed a few times. Trisley personally offered him a glass of water. He took up the tea cup, moistened his throat and continued: "In the age of the chosen one, wizards pressed on knights. When the glorious church overthrew the rule of wizards, would Knights still be pressed on their heads? Pope Enoch certainly wanted to press on knights. However, knights were very powerful at that time. There were many high-ranking Knights everywhere. They controlled many mortal armies in the wizard war, and the clergy of the church were not sure at all Defeat the knight alliance. If the first Pope takes his hand and the divine Knight will take his life, the church will be completely ruined. "

"There is no problem for arrogant knights to surrender to Enoch. It is absolutely impossible for them to bow to the clay legged clergy."

"Enoch can only compromise to make knights and clergy equal, but he is well aware of the contradiction between knights and clergy in the golden age - high-level Knights do not believe in the Lord of glory. In the future, the knight family will certainly want to subdue the clergy and become the supreme ruler of mankind."

"So Enoch set a trap in the glorious code and secretly gave the clergy the maximum power to enforce the law..." the old scholar paused and smiled at Victor: "Viscount Randall, what do you want to ask?"

Victor was surprised, stretched his eyebrows and said respectfully, "master, I just wonder... Why did the knight fall into Enoch's trap?"

James nodded: "The specific details are difficult to verify, but I think there are many wise men among the knights, but they are scattered and have their own plans. The most important thing is that the golden generation is confident and arrogant, and even the strongest Enoch can't take them. What can those mud legged clergy do? After the death of the first Pope, the church really dares to enforce the law on the knights, and the golden generation will kill them!"

Sylvia chuckled and said, "the glorious code clearly stipulates that clergy cannot form secular power. This is the basis for the compromise between the golden generation and Enoch. I appreciate this very much... Master James, please continue to explain." She gestured to the head of the old scholar.

"In short, the imbalance of power between the two sides has buried a curse between the golden generation and the clergy. Therefore, the church granted the city-state to the knight family, so as to divide the knight alliance. On the other hand, the clergy tried to restore the city-state population, spread faith and secretly accumulate strength." James stroked his beard and said slowly.

"In the glorious calendar year, the power of the church reached its peak, and the time was ripe for a showdown with the golden generation. The knight family was not idle. The chosen ones withdrew from the historical stage, and the city-state lost the protection of wizards. In the face of the invasion of orcs, the golden generation had to fight to the end. They formed a city-state alliance through marriage, trained a large-scale mortal army, and gradually had an empire War is the catalyst of the imperial regime, and high-yield green wheat is the economic foundation of the Empire. "

James suddenly asked, "Lord Randall, your big Legion strategy is consumption. Do you think you can defeat the orcs in the far north with the strength of mankind at that time?"

"At least I won't lose!" Victor shook his head seriously.

Goblins may be the protagonists of an era. It is almost impossible to completely eliminate them. Victor even suspected that the God elect's alliance with elves and barbarians was to squeeze the living space of goblins and prevent them from reviving.

"You're right!" James said, "the black emperor galdemer can summon hundreds of thousands of mortal troops. Even without the help of the church, he can continuously summon troops to fight against Orc invaders."

"If Pope Baikal does not take measures, the charisma of Gadamer's leader, the threat of foreign enemies and one victory after another will promote the rapid establishment of the great empire of the golden generation. At that time, the clergy of the church will become the vassal of the knight..."

"But the golden generation has no faith in the Lord of glory!"

"The contradiction between the two sides has become irreconcilable. Pope Baikal had no choice. He sat and watched the black emperor lose his strength, took advantage of the situation to wipe out the remnants of orcs, executed the black emperor in the name of abandoning his duty of protection, and called on mortals to avoid danger, and the city-state citizens became refugees. In fact, Baikal destroyed the political and economic foundation of the gold empire!"

James took a sip from the cup, wrinkled his sparse eyebrows and muttered, "can I have a cup of coffee to cheer me up?"

"Just a moment, please."

Like a beautiful girl, trisley got up and went to the back of the room, lit a small stove and began to cook coffee. She brought all the utensils, water, milk and coffee.

While making coffee, James continued: "Baikal thought that the power of the church was enough to deal with the orcs, but he was not a figure in the era of the chosen one and did not understand the horror of the orcs. The most important thing is that the church has no right to call up the mortal Army... The army of the clergy has suffered heavy losses. Mankind has retreated and lost a large area of territory, and the orcs have grown stronger."

"Baikal, damn it!" Nicole hates tunnel.

Sylvia smiled: "from the standpoint of the church, his majesty Baikal is a great leader."

"But he was accused by his successor..."

At this time, trisley presented a cup of coffee with dense aroma. James took a sip and said contentedly, "your coffee is a great invention, Lord Randall."

"It's my honor to get your praise... You can call me victor." Victor paused and asked, "did you just say that Pope Baikal was accused by the church?"

"It's not the church's accusation... It's the successor's accusation." The old man waved his hand and said, "in recent centuries, the Pope of the Privy Council has privately criticized Baikal."

Katrina asked curiously, "the Pope is the beneficiary of Pope Baikal. Why should they blame their ancestors?"

"Because of balance and position."

James put down his coffee cup and continued: "The strength of the knight was weakened, and the clergy of the church was weakened. The strength of both sides tended to balance, and there was a foundation for cooperation. The pressure of survival finally brought the two sides together. Your daughter Arya studied the glorious code, established the vassal system, and classified some mortals into the category of nobility, which spread the blood of the knight. The bronze Knight also needed the support of divinity, and the knight Lord could not Threatening the Theocracy of the church, the nobles were able to infiltrate the church. This was both a knight's compromise and a knight's counterattack. "

"When Arya started the canonization system, she said, 'this may be a bad thing, but it must be a good thing. The important thing is that we have no choice.' hehe, Arya is first a noble daughter and then a priest. Her canonization system is really good for knights and bad for the church, especially the pope!"

Victor had a flash in his mind and exclaimed, "I see!"

"Honey, what do you understand?" Nicole blinked her beautiful eyes and asked softly. The others looked at Victor too.

"The fall of the Pope is not accidental, but inevitable! The Claire brothers and sisters of the great wizard are just an opportunity. Even without them, the shining Knights will try to steal the golden horn! Maybe... Hei hei..." Victor thought to himself: maybe it was deliberately set up by the Knights of glory! They may have colluded with the pantheon in the dark... In this case, the matter will be complicated, and extraordinary creatures may be involved.

James said with a smile, "well, since the emergence of the canonization system, the Pope has lost his ruling foundation. Look at the current church, the Knights of glory is an aristocrat, Pope Clement is an aristocrat knight, frieds is an aristocrat, tamore is an aristocrat, and even if other high-ranking clergy do not have aristocratic blood, what is the difference between their behavior and aristocracy?"

"The present church is the Church of the nobility, and the present era is the era of the nobility!"

"It is said that the church controls more than 1000 children of the Pope... Alas, Baikal's children have become puppets. I don't know how he will feel in the glorious kingdom of God?"

The old scholar sighed but gloated. Everyone laughed, and even Sylvia couldn't help smiling.

"The noble church only wants the Pope to be the decoration, and no one wants the Pope to regain power. The patriarch criticizes his majesty Baikal and weakens the influence of the pope in order to express his position and sit on the Pope's throne. This is the position after balance!" Sylvia's sweet voice resounded through the audience. "The nobles have been exploring the loopholes in the glorious code. Arya has tried, and the glorious Knights have tried. Each attempt is accompanied by struggle, progress, sacrifice and great interests, but one thing is certain that the clergy need population and land, and the knight Lord needs land and population. Our positions and goals are the same."

"The great Legion used to have it, and now it can have it! Everyone, who has different opinions?"

Enbiser slowly stood up, facing the surprised eyes of the people, said in a deep voice: "this is a big bet. Clement has sat on the gambling table under the crown. As a son of tusks, how can the contemporary Duke of York retreat? I support the grand Legion strategy!"

Katrina's eyes flashed as if she had known her husband for the first time. Just when everyone was in awe, enbiser retracted his seat, wiped the sweat on his forehead and whispered, "however, I still have a small problem..."
