Prince Charlie's words were categorical, and his young face was filled with a kind of cold arrogance. It made the two knights stunned for a moment, and then the black-faced Stegel couldn't help shouting: "You..."
"Shut up, Stegel!" Pope Paul XVI immediately stopped this reckless subordinate, and he took a deep look at Prince Charles: "Your Highness, it is my people who are rude. Please believe that, The Church of Light has absolutely no intention of despising the royal family and the aristocracy."
Stegel's black face turned purple, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he gritted his teeth and sat back. But the Pope ordered the two to apologize to Prince Charles immediately, and they had no choice but to do so.
The Pope looked at the young Prince Charles, but his heart was full of vigilance!
It is certainly surprising that Prince Charles has such eloquence and insight at such a young age. But what made the Pope even more unhappy was that the little prince seemed to have no respect for the temple at all! Even, vaguely... it seems that there is still a bit of hostility!
You know, this Prince Charlie, everyone knows that 90% of him may inherit the throne in the future! Such an emperor who has been hostile to the church since he was a child... I am afraid it is not a good thing for the temple!
Even though he thought so in his heart, the Pope said with a gentle smile, "Your Highness Charlie, where is my mistake?"
Faced with the questioning of the mainland spiritual leader, Prince Charlie finally showed a little nervousness. After all, he was still young, so it was a little awkward to accuse the mainland spiritual leader of his mistakes face to face. He took a deep breath, but suddenly saw Duke Tulip beside him. He was smiling encouragingly at himself.
The little guy immediately calmed down a bit. He said slowly: "Your Majesty, the knights you mentioned are noble. That's right...but that's for commoners! According to tradition, a knight's allegiance is to the nobles! Or the empire! For the truly noble nobles, The so-called knight is just an object of allegiance to oneself. It is a "retain"! Then, let alone His Majesty the Emperor! For His Majesty the Emperor, all the knights on the mainland are just courtiers! They are soldiers. Even servants The emperor is the real master of this continent! For a master... there is no servant fighting. The reason why the master is the referee! This is simply absurd! If we really do this, God knows how many years later. In the history books How will it be recorded! I am worried that it will even be hailed as a scandal by future generations! Therefore, I think that the emperor must not act as a judge! The only possibility. Only appear as a "rewarder"! And definitely not a judge! It is even more impossible to participate in it!!"
There are almost no flaws in these words, after all, in this world. The hierarchy is still extremely strict! Especially the aristocratic class, for the tradition of the hierarchy. It is more important than anything else! Because this is the guarantee of their noble status.
The Pope was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to be smiling. Smiling to Prince Chen and the old emperor: "It seems that we have ignored the dignity of the royal family. Please forget this ridiculous suggestion."
"It can be judged..." That Stegel seems to have not comprehended the meaning of the Pope.
"Judging?" Du Wei suddenly said. He said lightly: "A martial arts competition in the arena. What kind of judgment is needed! It's not about literary talent and poetry! A duel of warriors. Swords have no eyes! To live is to win. To die is to fail! What kind of judgment is needed!"
"What His Excellency Bishop Du Wei said is unreasonable!" said that cunning Randall. Before he accused Du Wei this time, he learned a little bit smarter. He deliberately called Du Wei "bishop", otherwise he was worried that Du Wei would use the same reason to reprimand himself for "common people reprimand nobles". You know, Charlie is the prince, but Du Wei's title is not low. This is Du Wei's "bishop" status. Then he refuted Du Wei as the head of the Knights of the Church. You won't be picked on by the other party on the issue of identity.
Randall continued: "Although it is said that the duel of warriors is a sword without eyes... But after all, this is a competition. It is not all a duel of life and death! Is it necessary to let every contestant have life and death? If so, I am afraid The final champion. I don’t know how many people will be killed! So I think, there is still a need for judgment. And this judgment... If His Majesty the Emperor can’t be in charge, then you should invite a few warriors who are famous in the empire to be in charge!"
Du Wei sneered. Suddenly he said, "Your Excellency, how do you think it would be good to invite Lord Rodriguez, who is known as the "Sword Master of the Silver Night", to be the judge?"
Randall was off guard. Naturally, he nodded and said, "Master Rodriguez is a powerful man of the holy order. If he is the judge, I don't think anyone can object..."
"Humph!" Du Wei looked at Randall with an idiot look, and said with a mocking smile: "That's it! Mr. Randall, if you participate in the competition and win the championship, then you will be judged by Mr. Rodriguez." When the title of "No. 1 in the World" is handed over to you, do you have the nerve to accept it!"
"This..." Randall immediately realized that he had been fooled again.
Even Prince Charles. They all looked at the two knights with pity.
Indeed, if it's Rodriguez... are you willing to accept him giving you the title of number one in the world? Or do you think you can beat Rodriguez? !
"There's no need to argue." Prince Chen suddenly smiled. Glancing at the Pope, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
"My child. Your idea must be brilliant, please tell me." The old Pope calmly took advantage of Prince Chen's verbal advantage again.
Prince Chen didn't seem to care at all, and smiled lightly: "I didn't expect the temple to be interested in this martial arts tournament. But since the temple is willing to participate, then for the position of judge, I think it's better to set up four. Hmm After all, the Knights Association is a mainland knights organization, so Deron, the president of the Knights Association, can be counted as one."
Everyone nodded. After all, although the Knights Association has declined, the signboard is still there. Regardless of whether Delong is a waste or not, it is acceptable for him to be a judge.
"Besides, I think the church should also send someone to occupy a spot." Prince Chen smiled slightly: "Of course, I ask His Majesty the Pope to decide after you go back."
The pope nodded.
"The third place... Our royal family will send a court warrior as a representative. I want to invite the chief court warrior of the palace to be the representative of the royal family to show the royal family's respect for this conference."
This proposal is of course no problem.
"The last fourth place... let the imperial officials send a representative! To show the importance the imperial officials attach to this conference."
There is no doubt that no one can disagree with this statement.
But in terms of candidates... Prince Chen naturally looked at his most trusted candidate: Du Wei!
"Du Wei, you came up with this proposal first, and you are well-known in the empire, the reputation of the Duke of Tulip is well-known in the mainland, the battle in the northwest, the meritorious service is outstanding, and you have the rank of general of the empire. Then the fourth I invite you to be the judge."
In fact, everyone has thought of it... Everyone knows that the person Prince Chen trusts most now is the Duke of Tulip.
However, Du Wei's move was beyond everyone's expectations!
"Your Highness, I refuse." Du Wei suddenly stood up with a calm expression: "Please forgive me for not being able to accept your order... I cannot be the judge of this conference."
"...Why?" Prince Chen was also stunned.
"Because..." Du Wei suddenly smiled slightly: "I decided to sign up for this conference! As a contestant, for the sake of justice, I naturally cannot be the judge!"
Everyone is stunned!
Randall, who was mocked by Du Wei just now, couldn't help but sneered: "Master Bishop, although you are famous in the continent, you should be a magician! This... is a warrior's competition!"
"I know this is a samurai game." Du Wei looked at this guy with a half-smile, and suddenly he took out a silver knight badge from his bosom and shook it in his hand: "In addition to being a magician In addition, I also have the title of knight! Dear Lord Knight! Please know that in front of you is a mainland ninth-level knight who has been certified by the mainland knight association and is absolutely authoritative and legal!"
Everyone looked at the knight badge in Du Wei's hand, and couldn't help being stunned.
ninth grade? Ninth-level knight
Du Wei sighed in his heart... There is absolutely no problem with the legality of this thing! This is a knight rank badge issued by the president of the Continental Knights Association... It's just that, after drinking and eating last night, that guy Delong forced it to himself with a belch...
"So..." Prince Chen couldn't help being a little funny: "Du Wei, you..."
"I decided to participate, Your Highness." Du Wei smiled: "I also want to grab the title of "No. 1 in the World" and go home to play."
