Chapter 28

Before meeting the professionals the Duke of Buckingham had brought for the king, the king met another man.

That's general Edmund of angel.

This time the king's plan can be completed so smoothly, and angar state plays a vital role in it. After the coronation, they accepted the king's will and cleaned up the city of METZL, thoroughly solving the problem of the remaining private soldiers of the Grand Duke of grace.

Of course, there are no good meals in the world for no reason.

Naturally, it is not out of loyalty that the anguls are willing to make such a great effort to pacify the rebellion.

The king and angel made a cooperation.

"Thank you for your blessing. I have done your bidding, your majesty."

General Edmond humbly saluted the king, but he still hesitated.

Because it's time to test the result of their wager.

"I should say thank you, sir."

The young king was holding a thick book in his hand. When general Edmond came in, he glanced at it and found that it was a manuscript of Theology and legend. The king closed the heavy yellow book and said gently to general Edmond.

However, general Edmond had seen how the king was smiling and solved a group of nobles gently. He didn't dare to take the king's gentleness seriously.

In fact, he was more nervous.

"Don't be nervous, general." The king saw his mood and said briskly, "you and your soldiers have done a wonderful job this time. Perhaps you would like to bring back a beautiful iron rose for the mountains of angel? May the friendship between the rose family and the lewelin family last forever. "

Hearing what the king said, the stone in general Edmond's heart finally lay down.

He gave a happy smile.

The day before yesterday, before the new king party got a piece of paper to fill in the amount by itself, the royalists who wore the iron rose were exempted from the inheritance tax they had to pay before, and received different rewards. Finally, the king personally presented them with a new iron rose medal.

At the moment, the king said that, which means that he intends to fulfill his promise.

"Look at this."

The king took a written treaty from a desk and handed it to general Edmond.

General Edmond took it in both hands and quickly began to read it. The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

The king watched his reaction and had a clearer judgment of angel's situation in his heart - it seemed worse than he expected.

It is a joke to others, but it is a deep scar to anguls that "anguls can't afford a button on the sleeve of King Legrand with a year's tariff".

Because they are really poor.

Especially after the adoption of 1134 criminal law, the situation became more and more serious. The natural conditions of angurdo's mountains and swamps restricted their agricultural development. After the criminal law was passed in 1134, angurdo's status was not only low, but also lost the qualification to trade with Legrand.

The border markets were evacuated and replaced by military fortresses. The royal family of Legrand set up a long invisible but real blockade line on the border of anger.

They were trapped in the mountains.

For three hundred years, the anguls have been trying to break out of the blockade by force, but under the harsh natural conditions, the population density of anguls is very low. Even if they win a temporary victory by virtue of military bravery, they will be forced back quickly. Three hundred years is enough time for something to become a habit.

For example, people subconsciously reject and belittle the anguls.

They are considered barbarians.

This time, King angel sent General Edmund, who knew Legrand's etiquette, for this reason. He tried to show people:

angel is not a place of obstinacy.

The king is aimed at angel's pain.

He learned something about angel from his memory.

Over the past few years, angel's rebellion still exists. However, in the time of armed conflict, their massacre of villages is greatly reduced, and their treatment of prisoners of war is not as direct as in the past. Instead, they choose to buy with Legrand. This is actually a signal from angel.

They are seeking the readmission of civilized society.

But before that, the people of Legrand didn't care about these things at all.

The king was willing to give the anguls this opportunity.

If angel sent elite soldiers to help the king put down the rebellion, the commercial gate of the border would be opened again for the angel people, and the trees of angel could appear in the market again. At the same time, they could renegotiate the criminal law of 1134.

“…… The thirty-six states of Legrand are one. In the glory of the Lord, the people of Legrand are brothers in spite of their disputes. "These are the words in the king's letter.

When necessary, the king did not mind doing something in the name of the Lord that was good for him.

The knight in charge of delivering letters is undoubtedly a strong proof that he is a member of the royal family of angel, but the king accepted him and appointed him as his very important knight in oath.

King Angel hesitated for a long time, finally looked at the oath knight, made up his mind to join the gamble.

Once again, I have to thank Lord Grice.

In the past decades, in order to win a good reputation, he has been known to be tough with the anguls.

The king now thinks that grand duke glas is very amiable. Look how much he has helped himself unconsciously.

Looking at general Edmund's happy departure, the king thoughtfully summoned his oath knight.

After some inquiry, the king confirmed his conjecture.

Angel's situation is really terrible this year. They have a terrible cold If the king didn't send that letter, they would have to bow to the royal family in the end.

"Natural disaster."

The king seemed to say a word of pity.

He knew what to do after that.

……………………

Before general Edmond left METZL with the treaty, he left half of the soldiers for the king to show angel's sincerity.

Soon after he left, the king met the man he wanted to see.

A knight of the Templars from the rose family - past tense, of course.

The former Knights Templar left the Vatican three years ago and returned to Legrand in the name of "suffering from serious injuries that could not be improved while fighting for the Lord, hoping to die on Legrand's land". According to Duke Buckingham, it seems that he has been responsible for driving out the dark creatures around METZL all these years.

"You don't look like you're dying of a serious injury."

The king looked with interest at the former Templar in front of him.

"Of course, your majesty." The former Templar seemed to have a good impression of the infamous king for a long time. He winked at the king happily and replied, "you can't expect the real members of the rose family to be loyal to the Holy See, can you?"

"Then you must be very disgusted with grand father Grice?"

The king asked with a smile.

"If the fool who wags his tail at the holy court wins in the end, I will cut off his head and throw it into the abyss even if I disobey the law."

The former Knight of the Templar replied, standing up straight, and the killing intention in his tone showed that this was not a flattery, but his belief.

The king understood one thing.

It seems that the feud between the rose family and the holy court does not start from purland, but has a long history.

"What is a breach of law?"

Asked the king without a word.

"Well..." The former Templar commander looked hesitant. "Please forgive my concealment, your majesty. Because of some constraints, I can't explain to you in detail, but I can tell you that those like us, like those dark creatures, can't appear in the ordinary battlefield

The king's fingertips touched each other. He remembered that he asked the devil that day and got a similar answer.

There are still some restrictions in this world.

"Well, let's get to the point..." The king put down some speculation for a while, "how to deal with a powerful devil?"

"May I know the devil's name?" Asked the former Templar, following him, adding, "I'm sorry, I'm no doubt prying into secrets, but in the law of darkness, the name itself is a symbol of power. It's not the name he claimed, but the name he presented on the contract, which can't be hidden. "

The king was silent for a moment.

"A devil's name is hidden in the contract. What's the reason for that?"

The former Templar was also silent for a moment, carefully worded: "I can only think of one possibility, because he is old enough that even the name itself is taboo."

Even the name itself is taboo?

The king thought about what the devil looked like in front of him. Some people couldn't relate this to that guy.

"Is that out of your range?"

"It's hard to deal with." The former Knights Templar replied frankly, but he changed the subject. "But, sire, we are in the rose palace now. Here the descendants of the Dragon Slayer are the real masters. "

"Descendants of Dragon Slayer?"

The king raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I always thought it was just a legend."

"No, your majesty." The former Templar stood up and said, "look..."

He went to the pillar of the room and daubed it with his own blood one by one. As the blood seeped into the columns carved with reliefs, the king began to hear the sound - and gradually a strong current of air swirled around the room, with an ancient and loud sound in it.The king stood up and saw that the reliefs seemed to turn into rolling roses and vines.

The legend of the origin of the rose family emerged in the king's mind.

The people who slaughtered the Dragon built their own kingdom in the land where the dragon was buried.

The place where the dragon is buried, the Rose Palace in the heart of Legrand Heart

The answer is just around the corner.

"Yes! Your majesty

The former Templar commander stood in the center of the room, his hands full of blood, but he didn't care. Every pillar in the room was stained with blood.

He stood up straight, spread his arms, and let the king witness a miracle with pride.

In the king's view, the pillars and beams of the room changed. It's no longer a cold rock, but a thick, huge white bone.

"This is the heart of the dragon! This is not a legend! Your majesty

It's like the breath of a dragon. Over thousands of years, the strong flow of air makes the robe of the king of China roar.

The ancient legend is interwoven with the real history at this moment. In the torrent of that time, a family stands aloof. The group of people marked by the rose, they built a rogram on the bones of the dragon.

This is a madman's arrogant and fearless family.

After they slaughtered the dragon, they built a palace for mortals on its heart!

"It's glory!"

"The glory of the rose family!"
