"Do you still remember that we had a bet in the king's treasure house?"
In silence, Wang Lu asked Aya while fumbling for the mustard bag.
Aya was taken aback. Of course she remembered that bet. When facing the army god Tanu, Wang Lu once said that he could delay the time of the opponent's army by himself and win construction opportunities for the hard workers he recruited. The bet, if Wang Lu could do it, Aya would promise him one thing, but Wang Lu didn't mention it at the time, so she let it go.
When it was mentioned at this time, Aya suddenly felt embarrassed, the spirit of chivalry required her to keep her promise, but if she gave up her insistence for such a reason, it would seem too ridiculous.
Fortunately, Wang Lu didn't intend to be so rude and direct.
"If the bet is still valid, I hope that you can walk around Bretonia with me and walk in low clothes, so as to leave some unforgettable memories for my trip to Xiyi."
Aya was taken aback, she really didn't expect Wang Lu to make such a request, although she knew that he must have something behind his back, but thinking of what he had done for her these days, this simple request made it hard for her to refuse.
"Okay, as long as you don't dislike me as a tour guide who hasn't come back for more than a hundred years and can't keep up with the changes in things." Aya smiled softly, thinking that she would eventually have to part with Wang Lu in the future, and felt a little sad.
Wang Lu said: "Don't worry, even if you don't come back for a thousand or ten thousand years, some things will not change. This time it won't take you too long. How about a month?"
"Of course, as long as you ask, even a year is fine."
Wang Lu said softly to himself: "The next medicine, why did it take so long?"
In fact, Aya was eager to return to her heart.
She was quite dissatisfied with being directly sent from Dragon City to King's Treasure by Wang Lu. At that time, the Bretonians had just won two crucial battles, almost uprooting the influence of the Holy Light Cult in the local area. , the next step is to fully consolidate the results of the battle and stabilize the political power, and as the daughter of the king of Bretonia, her role is irreplaceable.
Even though Bedivere and many other nobles had real political influence in Bretonia for more than a hundred years, the reputation of the King of Knights was still flourishing and never faded. Her appeal can speed up the process of restoring the country of Bretonia, but Wang Lu wants to do it at this time.
His intention was to let himself give up the throne and go back to Kyushu with him, but only this point, he really couldn't give in, even though Aya had experienced too many ups and downs in her life, she still couldn't let go of her mission as a king.
However, if it's Wang Lu, if it's only a short month, then let him go. The woman thought with relief in her heart.
The first stop of the trip chose a remote mountainous area, because Wang Lu said that he had seen enough of the prosperity of big cities.
The scenery in the remote areas of Bretonia is actually lackluster. The two stopped in a village after walking for half a day in the mountains. And even in this remote small village, the great changes that have taken place in Bretonia have already been reflected, and a burst of vitality runs through it.
The two stayed in a simple inn in the village, and received very warm hospitality. According to the villagers, the village was indeed as happy as a festival these days. Because a lord who used to rely on the power of the church to dominate nearby was beheaded in public by knights from Dragon City not long ago, and the dark clouds that had lingered over people's heads for many years were immediately swept away.
This matter aroused Aya's interest, and after asking in detail, she learned that the knight who beheaded the lord was one of Bedivere's dragon city guards and the new local lord. So with Wang Lu's consent, the two came to the city where the lord was located.
It is a different scene when you arrive in the city. The change of old and new regimes is particularly obvious here. There are many traces of war in the city. Half of the most luxurious castle has been destroyed, and the church next to the castle has also been cut off from it. Obviously, the lords and Church forces have resisted. In addition, the original lord's forces were purged, and many shops and workshops were destroyed or seized.
The most discussed topics in the city are the rise of Dragon City and the return of the Knight King. Most people are happy to hear this, and they are full of confidence in the future, and the city is full of vitality. And the spirit of chivalry is even more popular. You can see many people dressed as knights walking on the street. It is speculators, but behind the chaos, it shows that chivalry is flourishing like never before in this place, which makes Aya overjoyed.
"I knew that Bretonia is a country of knights, and the spirit of chivalry will shine everywhere."
Wang Lu smiled lightly: "Is it like the holy light shining everywhere?"
Aya [excited] did not hear the sarcasm behind the question, but nodded seriously: "It will be more prosperous than the Holy Light Cult in the past, it will definitely be."
"Really? After seeing the bright side, let's also look at the dark side."
As Wang Lu said, he used a spell to confuse a patrolling soldier on the street: "You misunderstood the reactionaries, how did you deal with the people in the church?"
The soldier replied in a daze, "It's locked under the cathedral. It used to be the place of the tribunal. It used to be used by the people of the church to judge heresies. Now it's their turn to be judged."
"That place can't lock up too many people, right? What else?"
"There are too many traitors from the church and the vassal churches. The underground tribunal can't close them. Some of them are thrown in the prison in the city. Many of them are killed immediately. Anyway, they are corrupted and polluted, and they all have original sins."
"Original sin?" Aya frowned, very dissatisfied with this explanation.
Wang Lu asked: "Does it mean that they used to bully men and women, and did a lot of evil?"
The bewitched soldier thought for a while and replied: "Some are, and some are not sure if they have done it or not, but they are members of the church after all, and there will be nothing wrong with punishing them."
"What kind of reason is this? It's just ridiculous and doesn't ask right from wrong"
Aya became angry at the time, but Wang Lu stopped her: "Why do you have to deal with a big soldier? And hearing is believing, seeing is believing."
Afterwards, seeing is believing, and under the cover of spells, the two sneaked to the original court under the cathedral. What they heard and saw made Aya feel horrified.
Inside the tribunal, there are countless instruments of torture, all of which were once the proof of the Holy Light Cult's dominance in the land of Bretonia. However, the knights who replaced the holy light now picked up these brutal instruments of torture and used them on people one by one.
Most of the victims were members of the church, bishops with power, and young priests, but quite a few of them were obviously just ordinary believers, but they were all cruelly nailed to torture tools at this time, wandering around Between life and death.
What makes Aya feel even more outrageous is that some nuns of the church have been brutally abused here, and the process is unsightly.
Aya trembled angrily, and then took the mobile phones of several leaders with a sword, blood and brains splattered all over the room, the nuns screamed, and the scene was chaotic.
Wang Lu smiled sarcastically: "Hey, chivalry really shines everywhere."
Aya didn't say a word, and the long sword never returned to its sheath.
Wang Lu patted her on the shoulder: "The next thing is up to me, you don't want to show up, Aya is sensitive and stares at Wang Lu for a long time, then slowly nods.
Then, Wang Lu single-handedly swept away many guards all the way, and went directly to the city lord's mansion, where he met the new lord.
And it just so happened that the lord also recognized Wang Lu, and the two had met several times in Dragon City.
However, there was no pleasantries in this meeting. Wang Lu directly questioned what the referee had seen and heard, and the lord was also taken aback when he heard the words, explaining that he had just gained a firm foothold here, and he didn't care too much Up and down details. When he got to the bottom of it, he explained with a wry smile that he was parachuted here, and he had too few people at his disposal. Most of the people currently used to maintain order in the city are still the same people, good and bad. When the power changes, people's hearts fluctuate, and extreme incidents will inevitably occur, but he promises to strengthen management, so that there will never be such crazy cases again.
Wang Lu smiled and said nothing, and Aya, who was hiding behind the scenes, reluctantly accepted this explanation, and the matter was barely exposed.
Then, they stayed in the city for a full half a month, using Wang Lu's illusion and Aya's power to restore the legend to perfectly hide their whereabouts, like a big hermit hiding in the city. During this period, they carefully observed the changes in the city.
The new lord did not break his promise. After that day, he comprehensively strengthened the management of the city, and several people who took the lead in committing crimes were even beheaded in public as an example to others.
However, the situation has not improved in essence. The crowding out and oppression of the remnants of the Church of the Holy Light is still shocking. Many churches’ legal properties have been plundered, people close to the church have been unbearably bullied, and injuries have occurred from time to time. Although Under the repeated orders of the new lord, he restrained himself, but he was obviously unwilling.
Aya's initial anger, dissatisfaction, and injustice gradually turned into doubts.
"Why did things become like this?"
The new lord is not a treacherous person. On the contrary, after taking office, he has been working hard and working hard, but many things still deviate from the development track very quickly, which makes Aya very confused.
Hearing that she was finally willing to ask humbly, Wang Lu explained to her earnestly: "The change of regime must be accompanied by the redistribution of resources."
"But it shouldn't be so unreasonable, it's like plundering"
"Reason? Whose reason?"
Aya said seriously: "In chivalry, justice is the basic tenet."
Wang Lu said: "That's chivalry, it's not the objective existence of people's hearts. The current suppression and persecution of the Holy Light Religion, and the insatiable greed in the redistribution of benefits are not just one person or two individuals, but a group of people. drive"
Aya said: "Yes, objectively existing human hearts are far from perfect, but the value of chivalry is that it can infect others, transforming the illusory spirit into real human hearts. mess"
"Are you blaming the poor new lord for not being able to do it?"
"He" Aya was speechless, of course she couldn't ask everyone to do what she did.
"Also, even you yourself are not omnipotent. Don't forget, the ancestors of these greedy and ignorant commoners were infected by your chivalry more than a hundred years ago."
Aya sneered: "You are sophistry"
"Yes, I am sophistrying, but the truth is a good one. There are three major illusions in the world: I can fight back, she is interested in me, and I can change people's hearts. And you are making the third mistake" ( )
