Afterwards, the count hired some people to entrust them with some odd jobs, and gradually transferred 500 dinars, a number that could effectively improve their lives without bringing them any risks. As a result, his good deed still caused misunderstanding, because the wind of formalistic equality blew through Hequese, and in order to express their support for the new political correctness, the nobles expanded the scope of keeping mistresses to include common people. For a time, it was common to hear news about a beautiful young female worker being spotted by Earl xx, kept as a mistress, then kicked out when he got tired of her, left to live a lonely life with her illegitimate child, and finally committing suicide because she couldn't stand the gap in life. Don Rodick's actions were very similar to those of the nobles who came to hunt for beauties, which made his mother alert. After making a joke comparable to a drama, Don Rodic finally explained the misunderstanding. In return, his mother took out her husband's relics and let a sacred weapon recognize Don Rodic as its master. Don Rodic accepted it and returned it. It is a divine weapon that increases luck. Tang Rodick believes that for the strong, luck is icing on the cake, but for the weak, it is like a timely help. So he left it to someone who needed it more. "Great, needless to say." Diaz summarized Don Rodic's good deeds. "That is to say, the divine weapon that recognized Mr. Tang Rodick as its master can serve as evidence to prove his identity."
Corneille looked at Don Rodic and said, "See, your good deed has been rewarded. Well done!" Ingrid said: "I have been paying attention to that family. The divine weapon left by Mr. Tang Luodike played a role. The man I liked found a good son-in-law for his daughter, and the son-in-law is a poor but honest painter." “I’ve seen this episode.” Polly raised her hand excitedly: "That young painter honed his painting skills, and later became famous, made a lot of money, held a traveling exhibition, bought a big house, and brought his whole family in to live, right?" Ingrid looked at Polly in surprise. The dog-people, who attached great importance to the order of hierarchy, should not interrupt in front of the master she served. Is it the influence of these humans? Pressing these insignificant details, Ingrid replied: "No, the painter's brother died, he had no children, the estate was inherited by his younger brother, the painter got rid of poverty and lived a rich life." "Uh... That's fine too." "I will send a letter inviting them to come to Waite with their evidence." Ingrid looked at Corneille and asked, "Excuse me, among the spoils you collected, are there any related to Mr. Don Rodic?" Corneille took out a wooden box, and Ingrid nodded: "Spirit Magic·Magic Bullet Shooter, after Mr. Tang Rodick completes his mission, I cast a spell on this wooden box and give it to him as a reward." "It produces one bomb a day, with a maximum reserve of six, which provides me with a lot of convenience," Corneille replied. "It's a pity that there is no third-party witness. Even if I can prove that the magic on the wooden box was cast by me, the evidence is weak... Is there anything else?" Cornelius nodded: "Yes, it's at my home in Eagle County. I sent someone to get it a week ago. I hope there will be no hindrance." Then, Ingrid provided Don Rodik with basic weapons: a pair of elven scimitars that had magnetic attraction and could be spliced and disassembled, as well as healing potions. Don Rodic returned "Suleena" to Corneille. It had a special meaning to him, but it was Corneille's trophy. He wanted "Suleena" back and would take it back through a fair challenge. Soon, the messenger from the Tower of Discipline came to invite Ingrid. Corneille and others left first and returned to the lounge to witness Selena's welcome ceremony for the King of the Forest... for the two Kings of the Forest. "Ah, long time no see, dear Ingrid. The last time we spoke was at the joint meeting of Waite managers last year." Anmita, who is 180cm tall and 180kg in weight, smiled and talked to Ingrid. These amazing statistics outline Anmita's amazing body shape:
From a distance, she looks like a mountain of flesh, and up close, she looks like a fat pig walking upright. However, her voice is so sweet that her mere presence can create a heavy sense of oppression on others' bodies and minds. Polly looked at Tang Rodick in disbelief: "You used to work for this thing?" Tang Rodick explained awkwardly: "This is the effect of her Hathor Blessing. This blessing allows her to achieve one of three effects by burning fat: amplifies her own Hathor spells; Extends the duration of your most recently cast Hathor spell. Reset the cooldown time of the spells you have cast. " "So for her, the more fat the better...but it's still disgusting, and I don't think I can eat lunch," Polly complained. "The point is that the 'mediation' that was originally infinitely beneficial to us may not be able to be carried out." Corneille said: "This... no, this king of the forest appeared here just to trip up Her Majesty Ingrid." (Yes, the heresy-suppression troops of the state religion followed Archbishop Anmita and were deployed outside the town.) (Barbarigo's mercenaries retreat from the town and block the main road) (The nuns in a nearby town told me that an unknown number of elite knights from the "Justice" field have been teleported there and are preparing to head to Nebuchadnezzar.) (In summary, they are very likely planning to use Archbishop Anmita to hold Her Highness Ingrid hostage and launch an armed operation to arrest our members or capture Mr. Tang Rodik) "What a big scene," exclaimed Polly. "Run? No, that's unrealistic. We'll be caught before we reach an area where we can use teleportation magic. With so many people, Miss Polly's powers won't be able to help." Corneille took a look and said: "It is impossible to hide on the Ancient Hymn. Selina's men have blocked the nearby roads, and Archbishop Anmita is also watching. You who raided Selina sought refuge aboard the Ancient Anthem, while I went to Selina and challenged her to a duel." Dias seized Corneille's hand and shook his head. Corneille broke away from Dias: "Someone must attract their attention to create conditions for your transfer. Don't worry, I will be fine." Chapter 65 Elderberry Sister Helena's intelligence came very timely. Outside the town of Nebuchadnezzar, three combat operations were being planned: Anmita benefited from the death of Don Rodic. She would never allow Don Rodic to be "resurrected" and would suppress this matter as soon as possible. The longer things drag on and the bigger the fuss becomes, the greater the chance that other cardinals will get involved, and the higher the cost of cleanup she will have to pay. Therefore, she struck hard from the beginning. The Nefertari, a simple mobile air fortress that was equivalent to the Ancient Hymn, immediately set out from the Sacred Heart Monastery in the south of Vete, crossed the forest area, and stopped 3 kilometers outside the town of Nebuchadnezzar. Anmita entered the town with her handsome male attendants to personally contain Ingrid, while the heretic-suppression force was making plans to behead the fanatics of Don Rodik who "insulted the hero." The "Justice" sector had previously sat on the sidelines and did nothing because it was dissatisfied with Count Marseille's statement of being close to the royalists, and wanted to use the incident of No. 96 to control Count Marseille. Just now, Count Marseille surrendered, returned to the position of being close to the Three States Alliance, and revealed some secrets of the canal project. Commercial interests made the Knights forget the minor unpleasantness and decided to keep Count Marseille.
At the same time, they were worried that Isabella would take advantage of the situation and use the incident of Don Rodick to attack the Triple Alliance, so they had to strike hard... to capture Corneille. The think tank in the field of "justice" integrated the existing intelligence and determined that Corneille was the mastermind in front of the stage, and Isabella was the supporter behind the scenes. As long as Corneille was dealt with, Isabella would not be able to find a replacement for Corneille in a short time. What's more, Gao Naiyi has always been a thorn in the side of the "justice" field. Now that there is an opportunity, he must be dealt with. The elite knights they sent out were few in number, but each of them had obtained the protection of Minerva, was able to use a combat skill called "Spirit Blade", and was equipped with divine weapons. Cornell has already used up a divine spell, and his ability to survive has been greatly reduced. Both the think tank and the commander of the knight squad on the front line are optimistic about capturing him. Selina changed her mind. She had originally only been cooperating with the Three States Alliance on a limited basis, but now she provided them with enough intelligence to support a combat operation. Of course, the battle will not take place in the town of Nebuchadnezzar. The heretic expeditionary forces and elite knights will use the divine weapons they carry to shift their targets to the wasteland and defeat them one by one. The Barbarigo family's mercenaries wanted to recover the Duke of Alva after Don Rodique and Corneille were dealt with. Ever since Count Marseille reported to Angelica, they were asked to collect detailed information about the Duke and Corneille's actions and interpersonal relationships during this period, which ultimately led Angelica to conclude that Waite was not a suitable place for Dias to study abroad. However, it was Angelica herself who sent Diaz to Waite. If she changed her mind after a hundred days, it would seem that she was fickle, so Angelica needed an excuse. The Don Rodick incident was a good excuse to revoke the Duke's study abroad and bring him back to Eagle County to place him under house arrest, on the grounds of punishing the Duke for his mistakes. This became reasonable and logical. But they couldn't deal with Corneille or Don Rodick, so they had to wait for their friendly forces to deal with the two before they could take Dias home. Amita resolutely rejected Ingrid's mediation, and Corneille also resolutely rejected the armed raid planned outside the town of Nebuchadnezzar. Corneille arrived at the welcoming ceremony. The guards of the Discipline Tower wanted to stop the uninvited guest, but the Ring of Apophis materialized in his left hand. The friendly spell made the guards feel excited, which connected with the intimate but cold collision of "Sulena". "Stop him!" The guard of the Discipline Tower aimed the crossbow at Corneille, and the warning shot grazed Corneille's body outline, but he still took a step forward, and some golden light emanated from his body. At that moment, everyone's mind went blank, and when they came to their senses, Corneille had passed them and appeared at the intersection of the two kings of the forest's sight. "No outsiders are allowed to enter!" Selina glared at Corneille, "Even if you are the favorite of the Duke of Alva, you must respect Waite's etiquette!" Ingrid glanced at her elven maid, who cast her elven magic and drew out a translucent sword from her left palm. She danced to a regular and strange rhythm and came to Corneille. Corneille smelled the scent of heather, which was the favorite flower of the elves. Therefore, when the sword stirred the wind, its fragrance also spread along an arc-shaped trajectory. The twin swords of the elf maid merged into the sunlight. Gao Naiyi closed his eyes. In the dark vision, the energy fluctuations had already described the shapes of the twin swords. Corneille raised his shield, and the elf's sword made a sharp noise. Corneille raised his sword and struck with such force that the attack aimed at his ribs was deflected. He stabbed the elf's body, and the ridge on the sword's spine turned it into a propulsive iron spike that would leave a bloody wound on the victim. The elf's body was as flexible as a dancer's, and she leaned back to the limit, making her body almost parallel to the ground. In order to maintain balance and also to fight back, she raised her left foot, and the blade popped out from the sole of her shoe, stabbing towards Corneille's chin with an ominous cold light. Cornell opened his eyes. He had to see the color of the blade to determine whether it was poisoned. The faint blue light told him that this thing was fatal. He stepped back, leaving enough space to exert force, and smashed the shield at the elf maid's ankle, but the elf maid stopped moving, stepped on the shield, and bounced up with her other supporting foot, with her body suspended in the air. Corneille's shield strike pushed her out, and the elf magic was cast. The flowing wind gathered the elf maid's body, helping her to turn in the air, and her skirt fluttered like a blooming white lotus.
When the elven maid landed, the prismatic sword of the "Flying Lion" crashed into her field of vision. She crossed her arms, and the paired elven swords crossed into an X shape, trying to strangle the intruder, but the "Flying Lion" savagely tore through her thin barrier and hit her throat. Blood gushed out of the wound, and the outcome seemed clear, but the elf maid suddenly loosened her hands, and her swords turned into chains, wrapping around Corneille's body and subduing him. "Don't move, we are helping you." The elf maid whispered. She returned to Ingrid, who opened her palms to Corneille. The chains that emerged from her palms connected with the chains of her maid. Multiple chains appeared on Corneille's body, imprisoning him and tying him up into a sexy look. "Ahem, Your Highness." The maid reminded in Elvish. "This is not the way to tie someone up in a nightclub." Ingrid patted her head in frustration and quickly changed her binding technique. She had played with male courtesans so many times that her method had become second nature. "Monsieur Corneille, considering that you are a foreigner and do not know our customs, I will give you a chance to explain yourself." Ingrid said: "Why don't you wait for mediation instead of trespassing into the land where the King of the Forest has set foot? According to the Public Security Administration Law and the Special Law on Royal Power, men and ordinary women are not allowed to appear in places where multiple Kings of the Forest are present without permission." "I was not aware of that rule," said Corneille. "Ignorance is not a crime. All right, I forgive you. Where is Lord Anmita?" The "Meat Mountain" squirmed: "Listen to his purpose in my words." "I want to continue the duel we just left unfinished with Selina Mikaela." Corneille said calmly: "For people like us, dueling is as natural and urgent as eating. There is no reason to abandon a meal halfway through, and the same is true for dueling." "I refuse," Selina said. "I understand, but your beloved one belongs to me." Ingrid knew what Corneille was going to do. She pretended to be alert and said, "So you are fighting for the same person. I am interested." "I don't understand what you're talking about." Selina played dumb. Corneille continued to provoke: "What do you think of the child's name 'Sulena'? Its original meaning is 'elderberry'. From potions used by extraordinary people to props and equipment, it has a wide range of applications, extending the meaning of healing, firmness, protection, and suppressing evil. It is a very beautiful name, right? " Selina was irritated. Just when she was about to respond to Corneille, she heard the lady next to her say, "Wait a minute, Mr. Corneille. I have a question for you." Chapter 66: Human Blood Buns Corneille looked at Anmita, who asked: "What do you think of the orthodoxy of the state religion?" "When it has power, it has legitimacy," replied Corneille. "So, what do you think of the goddess Hathor who gave you your power? In the state religion, we all know the phrase 'Praise Hathor, she redeems all the suffering and sacrifice of her followers.'" This sentence comes from the "Preface to the Holy Scriptures of the National Religion". In Corneille's hometown, the first lesson for every elementary school student is to study the "Holy Scriptures of the National Religion". Although the theory of public education had matured two hundred years ago, the rulers changed again and again, and people were far less interested in investing in education than in their own enjoyment. It was not until the 13th century that universities were allowed to cover every city with a population of more than .
In smaller cities and rural areas, education is either funded by locals themselves, by the generosity of a legislator running for state office, or by the traditional route: the church. In order to consolidate its base, the church is very happy to build schools in rural areas and brainwash children with religion from an early age.
