While Rex City was still discussing the mysterious disappearance of Prince Jack, another news spread among the noble circles. According to the tradition over the years, whenever the killing trial was about to be held, Rex Kingdom would Like many other kingdoms and principalities, two one- to three-star glory knights and one four- to six-star glory knight must be recommended to the Holy Alliance headquarters. The Kingdom of Rex will determine these three recommended places through open selection.
Many nobles are very concerned about the determination of this recommendation quota.
On the one hand, people already like this kind of competition to distinguish the strong and weak and enjoy the visual impact; on the other hand, many nobles want to use this opportunity to find some people they can rely on in the future. Although the nobles Bloodline and social class are what they care most about, but even a knight from a poor background, when he acquires terrifying strength, will not only step into the aristocratic circle, but also become a key figure in the circle.
"Tomorrow is the big competition. It will be held in a duel field outside the city! It can accommodate 100,000 spectators. There are still 10,000 tickets left. There is a group of nobles at the gate of the palace grabbing tickets!"
"His Majesty the King really knows how to make a fortune. A ticket with a bad location has already been sold for a thousand magic crystals. After a duel, he will earn 100 million magic crystals! What a huge profit."
"It's expensive, but who doesn't want to see it if you have the money? Not only many nobles are going, but also some people from other provinces and cities are coming to see the Dabi. They want to know who is our Rex Kingdom The strong one."
"I believe many nobles have already dressed up their daughters. When some duels are over, they will ask their daughters to come forward and give flowers and kisses to the victors! These shameless old foxes are really scheming."
"Hehe, you can also dress up. Maybe Mr. Shengli has a special hobby and likes you?"
Messages are circulating in the market and noble circles. People are talking about this grand occasion and who will participate in this duel.
After all, in the entire Rex Kingdom, including all eighteen cities, the number of Glory Knights does not exceed forty.
There should only be a few people participating in the duel.
Each of them is definitely a strong person who already has some reputation.
According to legend, people from the Holy See will be there to watch. Many people go to see the competition not for the competition itself, nor do they intend to make friends with the contestants, but want to take this opportunity to see if they can get along with people from the Holy See. On friendship.
…
There were people standing on both sides of Rex City Street, and many people stood on the side of the street, standing on tiptoes and looking into the distance.
Qi Ying and Alicia, who had put on their formal attires again, sat side by side in the carriage heading to the palace. From time to time they would open the curtains of the carriage and take a look at the noisy crowd outside.
"Why are people so happy? What are they looking at?"
Qi Ying was a little curious.
It's rare for the streets to be so lively. Could it be that the king has appeared? But James Rex should be in the palace now to receive the strong men who will participate in the competition tomorrow.
"Lord... Young Master, they are welcoming the people of the Holy See! Listen, what they are shouting is 'Long live the goddess of light, may the glory always be with you and me'."
"Holy See?"
Qi Ying has always been puzzled by the existence of the Holy See.
Compared with sects that focus on personal cultivation, the academy places more emphasis on students' allegiance to the country. The Holy See is curious. Their personnel are not too centralized, but they emphasize the divine right of kings and use a lot of mental control methods. His teachings make the illusory Lord God have the highest status in everyone's heart, far behind even the king.
But it doesn't seem to be of much benefit to the pope, bishops and others, and they don't even charge much tax.
The financial income is much less than that of the royal family of the Saint Solan Empire under the centralized system.
"Alicia, tell me what is the situation of the Holy See in the main world? What are the benefits of developing believers? Using doctrine to restrain people is far less effective than using laws and systems to restrain people!"
Qi Ying asked.
He knew too little about the Holy See.
There is no such thing in Tianluo Continent. There are some Buddhist temples and temples. Some of them are people who have seen through the mortal world and have no love in life, and some are swindlers.
After arriving in the main world, the only Holy See that I came into contact with was the Three Holy Sect, which studied various evil methods in the name of faith.
"Yes, Master." Alicia nodded and explained, "Although the teachings of each Holy See are different, they have one thing - they worship their own gods! And the more believers, the stronger the power of the gods. The Holy See The senior staff here can get direct benefits from the 'gods'. The power of the 'gods' is unparalleled. The miracles they send can allow the disabled to recover, make the terminally ill people jump around, and even make the cultivation reach a bottleneck. Once a person is enlightened, he will be greatly improved. There is no Holy See in the main world that is a small force, and even the weakest ones are those who are powerful in the Dao realm."
Qi Ying asked: "Is 'god' a god? Doesn't it mean that gods no longer exist?"
Alicia shook her head and said: "I don't know the relationship between gods and gods, but gods do exist. The beliefs of believers will give God power, and God will also distribute power to believers. As for what is the No one knows what the reason is, I’m afraid only people like the pope and bishops know the reason!”
"That's it..."
Qi Ying also became curious about the existence of "god".
God, gather the power of faith!
The strong men from the outside world who invaded the Tianluo Continent wanted to pass by the Supreme Dragon Vein and collect the power of destiny!
Is there any connection between the two? Those who collect the power of luck seem to be the Potian sect, but those who collect the power of faith are all the Butian sect
Qi Ying couldn't understand it, and Alicia, who had a low level of contact, was even less clear.
While the two were discussing, the carriage had already arrived at the palace. At this time, there was a silver-purple flying dragon circling above the palace. When the carriage reached the palace, the flying dragon immediately fell down.
"Dear Sir, please come with me to see His Majesty the King."
The giant dragon lowered its head and a dull voice sounded.
"Cisse?"
Qi Ying took Alicia out of the carriage.
Brother Liu got out of Qi Ying's sleeve and grinned again at the dragon.
Cisse's performance this time was even worse than last time. He shivered in front of Brother Liu and said, "Oh! Dear Sir, please let your demon pet be quiet. It is so aggressive and I am very scared!"
"Brother Liu, stop scaring it!" Qi Ying told Brother Liu to shut up, and then asked, "Cisse, are you the guardian monster of the palace now?"
"Yes, after the death of my last master Rose, His Majesty the King took me in and made me the guardian monster of the palace. Now please come with me to see His Majesty!"
