Chapter 145

The midsummer of 1433 came in the flames of war that had not been completely extinguished and in the ever-growing parade and petition.

The housekeeper reported to the king that the nobles had dispersed the procession and expelled the Bard, and asked if he would intervene.

"No, no need."

Answered the king.

He was looking through the records of the last Parliament and reading the speeches of every member.

On the king's desk was the wartime Emergency Act, which most nobles refused to sign. Legrand's nobles always regard parliament as a sharp weapon for them to control the king and compete with the royal power. Outside the period of military service, if the king wants to recruit troops, he must obtain the consent of Parliament. For a long time, the nobles were used to forcing the royal family to give in when the king needed an army, so as to give them more local autonomy and more privileges.

Once the wartime Emergency Act was passed, they would lose the powerful weapon of Parliament. On the other hand, the concentration of power of the royal government over the years was enough to make the feudal lords feel uneasy. They worried that the wartime Emergency Act would increase the authority of the royal family.

Because of this, most of the nobles were very tough in this meeting, and they never gave in.

The previous inaction was a means of their demonstration.

When the petition became more and more intense, the nobles began to expel the procession.

"What about our tariffs?"

The king read the minutes of the meeting and asked the housekeeper.

The answer from the housekeeper was in the king's expectation that the tariff would be the most pitiful in nearly 30 years.

The impact of the black death is too great. The depression of the economy is not limited to Legrand. Both the East and the west sides of the Straits are at a low ebb.

If we look at history in detail, we will often find that behind many continuous wars and expeditions, there are shadows of catastrophes. Whether it's flood, drought or plague, natural disasters destroy the economic foundation of a society and sharpen the contradictions originally covered by prosperity. In such a sharp situation, it may turn into war at any time. At such a time, if the government of a country does not want to end itself, it has to find a target to transfer hatred.

In the holy court, the targets of this pressure and hatred are people called "Witches" and "Witches".

In Legrand, after the rebellion, the king pushed the nobles to the guillotine.

"I didn't build Legrand into a free country so that they could point their knife at his own heart at will."

Said the king lightly.

He closed the record and looked out the window at the blooming roses.

………………

In front of the king, the aristocrats who were biting the old law and refused to give up began to find that the situation was getting worse and worse.

Even the pathogen of the black death is not as deadly as the public indignation. When they get back to their senses, things will be bad enough. The king has pushed them to the front of the wave of public indignation.

The story of "Knight slaying the dragon" is spreading more and more widely. Under the subtle influence, people have subconsciously regarded the rebels who drove the "evil black dragon" as unjust aggressors and shameful alliance of rebels. At the beginning, the banner of "persuading the king to correct" played by the director of the Judicial Bureau was forgotten.

As the refugees left puttonshire, they also spread the pain and anger of their homes being destroyed. In the process of the destruction of the town, everyone clearly saw that the local nobles, the lords who had the obligation to protect the safety of the people in the territory, were indifferent to the rebel forces and huddled in their castles. It was their inaction that made the town plundered by the notorious Bahraini mercenaries and the village burned by the black dragon flying through the sky.

How glorious the royal family was in this war, how weak and incompetent the nobles were compared.

The nobles regarded the common people as untouchable dirt and repelled them like snakes and scorpions. But this time, they have to correct their previous perception.

In the face of the increasingly fierce parade, the nobles had no choice.

Either hold your nose and bow to the king, or you have to beat down the noise.

They had always thought that the king was just a young lion, but now they found that there was a swimming snake under the lion's skin. No wonder the king didn't make any punishment and coercion when they stood still. He is waiting to burn them on the fire of public anger today.

The nobles swore in private, and the most determined nobles formed a secret alliance. The holy see is about to cross the sea, and the chief justice takes over the county of herid. The king is more anxious than them. As long as they don't provide soldiers to the king one day, the king can't summon soldiers one day.

The nobles thought that if the stalemate continued, the king would bow down earlier than they did.

"He is too arrogant."

An old aristocrat of the secret alliance said so.

"He will surrender."

However, his prediction of the king's concession has not yet appeared, and public anger has erupted.Anger is first expressed in pubs and public places.

The first week of June, Wednesday, Jolin county.

The sheriff led a group of soldiers to kick open a tavern called "grey sparrow" and drag out a middle-aged man who was talking with his partner and put him in a cage.

"I didn't commit a crime!"

Martin, the confused blacksmith, cried out.

"It's a pity, sir, that you have been accused of immorally and wickedly slandering your Lord and are eager to collude with your partners to pose a threat to his personal safety." The sheriff said he reminded the blacksmith, "you committed this terrible crime here just three days ago."

“…… That's just a joke Martin's eyes widened in amazement.

Three days ago, Martin, the blacksmith, had a big drink in the tavern. He patted the table and began to complain loudly When the director of justice arrived, Baron Salford, who was too busy to join the Brittany camp, was a loser who was not as promising as a woman. Now several ports such as Hereford are still in the occupied state, and Baron must bear the responsibility After the battle of putton, any noble with dignity should immediately take up their sword and go to attack the enemy who invaded Legrand, instead of fighting against their king and preventing his king from forming an army to protect his people. "

The reason why he was so angry was that his iron shop had been cleaned up by Bahraini mercenaries. But their Lord held a banquet in the castle for the mercenary leader.

“…… Give me a shovel, and I can smash the Baron's head with it.

Drunk finally, the blacksmith made such a bold remark, and got everyone's support in the pub.

"The Lord's court has pronounced you guilty, sir."

Said the sheriff coldly.

He was crammed into a wooden cage, dragged by a horse and rumbling along. Every time the cage bumped, Martin would bump around. By the time he was dragged to the crossroads where he had always been used for trial, he had been injured all over.

With a wave of the Baron Salford behind the van, the blacksmith was dragged out of the cage.

The crowd swarmed, everyone whispered, many faces with a look of impatience.

The noose was tied around the blacksmith's neck.

Seeing that he was about to be hanged to break his spine, the blacksmith's son pushed away the crowd and rushed out. The young burly boy, waving an axe, rushed to the scaffold, and at the same time, he swore at the Baron's cruelty and cruelty, and at the same time, he slashed the sling.

"Cut him off, too!" The contented smile on Baron Salford's face disappeared. He rose abruptly and pointed to the blacksmith's son, who was angry with him. "I want to see his head under the road sign!"

The knight behind the Baron put his hand on the hilt of the sword and didn't come forward immediately: "Sir, I think you can confiscate their iron shop. It's worse than killing them directly. They don't deserve to die so happily."

"Are you disobeying my orders?" The Baron turned and frowned.

The blacksmith had been released from the noose by his son, and the soldier in charge of pulling the rope stepped aside with a symbolic wave of his sword.

"Catch them, and both of them." The Baron pointed to the soldier who didn't stop the blacksmith's son. "Don't forget who you are loyal to."

"Screw you, pig." The knight pulled out his sword with a clang. He kicked over the Baron with one foot, and the veins on his forehead burst up. "I'm fed up with you fool!"

"What are you doing?" The Baron was surprised and angry. "Do you want to break the knight's oath? You want to do it to your master? The Lord will send you to hell

"It's better to go to hell than to go to the kingdom of God with traitors like you!"

The knight spat on his face and trampled on his stomach.

"I'm a knight of Legrand, and I know what I should do! I'm fed up with pigs like you

He raised his sword high and looked around at the crowd: "gentlemen! I'm a knight of Legrand, not a traitor's Knight! Are you going to kneel down and lick the boots of such a scum? "

"No! no No

The crowd broke out shouting.

"I'm a knight of Legrand, not a traitor's Knight! I'm loyal to your majesty, not to a fool! Go away The knight kicked the Baron out. "Traitor is not worthy to stay in Yorkshire!"

"Go away! traitor! Get out of here

The blacksmith snatched the axe from his son and waved it vigorously.

The anger of the crowd gradually rose.

Sheriff, Baron and some other dignified guys scurry, chased by the angry crowd and ran across a long street.

They even rushed into the territorial court and burned it clean with a fire.

Similar things are happening all over Legrand.

The first aristocrat couldn't hold on.

After hundreds of angry farmers broke into the manor and burned the house, he almost went to the palace, crying bitterly to admit his mistake and express his loyalty to the king.Second, third The secret alliance between the nobles quickly disintegrated.

…………………………

When the chief of the house conveyed the request for the Royal audience, the king was reading a letter from the first pathological research department of Legrand.

Duna, the head of the pathology department and pharmacist, wrote a lot of letters to the king one after another.

It's worth mentioning that the black dragon killed by Alchemy knights that day was almost immediately sent to the madman hospital for research.

For now, the majestic black dragon seems to be well preserved. Every dragon scale, every flesh and blood, every bone is coded and labeled.

Yes, it was dissected very simply and thoroughly.

Witches who have been in the madman hospital for some time have been kicked into the ocean of neuropathy by their neuropathic colleagues, and they seem to swim very happily. With the help of the witches, they drew a detailed description of the dragon's body structure with incredible speed, and gave it to the king as a gift.

Normal people can't seem to be able to give a pile of bone structure as a gift to their majesty.

However, it seems that the king who can make a group of madmen loyal is not a normal person.

He gladly accepted the gift and rejected the doctors' request to study the alchemist.

Another thing, the military heavy industry department of hell finally heard the story of "Knight slaying the dragon" after a period of time. One by one, a group of military designers wrote letters to the king, urging them to study the Dragon scales and claws.

It's good that scientists are so active and diligent, but there is only one dragon.

The king thought about it and wrote a reply to each side.

He asked military designers and doctors and witches to work together to study the principle of black dragon spitting fire. Let's see if we can imitate and make new weapons.

The author has something to say: King: to make the best use of the dragon is the tradition of dragon killers.

Dragon Castle, dragon arrowhead and black dragon: three aspects of politeness quality.
