The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father
Chapter 2 The Death of the King
Chapter 2 The Death of the King
Finlay City is an ancient city that was established as early as 7000 years ago during the Puang Empire.
In that ancient era, this great city was the largest city west of the Warcraft Mountains.
5000 years ago, the ancient Pu'ang Empire split. The first pope of the Holy See of Light made a contract with some powerful families at the time and jointly established the Holy Alliance, which continues to this day.
Finlay City, as the royal capital of the Kingdom of Finlay, is also the holy city of the Holy Alliance and the Holy See of Light. The entire city is divided into two.
The east city is under the leadership of the kingdom, while the west city is under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy See of Light.
The tallest building in Fenlai City is the Temple of Light in the West City.
However, even in the DC area managed by the Kingdom of Finlay, the tallest building still belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy See of Light. This is also the largest building in the entire Finlay City after the Temple of Light, with a height of more than [-] meters.
Height is very important.
At least in the Magnolia Continent, the tallest building in a city often represents the most powerful and dominant force in the city.
In the entire Finlay City, the tallest building is the Temple of Light, the second tallest building is the Cathedral, and the third tallest building is the royal palace of the Finlay royal family.
The Holy Alliance is a huge alliance organization composed of six kingdoms and seventeen principalities.The reason why these countries can be united is because of the common "belief", the belief in the great "Lord of Light" and "Lord of Light".
The Holy See of Light, the servant who walks in the world on behalf of the Lord of Light, is the true master of the Holy Alliance.
The kings of the six kingdoms and the grand dukes of the seventeen principalities are just secular leaders, and their status is far inferior to that of the pope of the Holy See of Light.
Even the red-clothed archbishops, the administrators at the center of the Holy See of Light, are more powerful than the masters of a country in terms of status, but their influence is slightly inferior.
As the leader of the entire Finlay Kingdom's aristocratic system, Clyde Bolin must often go to church to worship.This has nothing to do with whether King Clyde himself is a believer or not.
This is a gesture that represents the submission of the aristocratic system to the theocratic system within the territory of the Holy See of Light.
On Sundays, King Clyde went to church to worship to represent the royal authority's submission to divine authority.
This is a convention and a necessity.
In history, there were indeed stubborn kings who chose to refuse - and then nothing happened. He died, his family declined, and the huge kingdom fell apart.
It is a holy existence with a long lifespan and endless power. . .They have to lower their proud heads in front of the Holy See of Light!
On Finlay City's main street in the east, the Champs Elysees Avenue, four horse-shaped monsters with scales and fangs pulled a carriage forward slowly, while a group of 33 knights guarded the carriage on both sides.
The old residents of Fenlai City can all recognize that these knights belong to the Kingdom's most elite team, the "Crazy Thunder Squadron", and are the royal guards of the royal Bolin family.
This is also a noble and powerful army.
In terms of origin, in addition to the talents who were selected by the king, more than [-]% of the guards in the Crazy Thunder Squadron came from the great noble families of the Kingdom of Finlay, and many even belonged to the branch of the royal Bolin family.
In terms of strength, the Kuang Lei Squadron has a total of 100 people, divided into three teams. Each member is considered a strong person, at least with the strength of a seventh-level warrior.The squad leader and deputy captain are both eighth-level warriors, and the squadron leader is a powerful ninth-level warrior.
There are only a few distinguished figures in Fenlai City who can be guarded by a Kuang Lei Squadron.
The current king of the Kingdom of Finlay, Clyde Bolin, his brother Duke Paterson, and two princes with the highest background and status.
But even Duke Paterson and the two princes cannot be escorted by the knight "Caesar", the captain of the Crazy Thunder Squadron. He is also the only ninth-level warrior in the entire Crazy Thunder Squadron.
The only target guarded by this Crazy Thunder Team is Clyde Bolin, the current king of the Kingdom of Finlay.
The carriage drove through the avenue, and a large number of nobles and wealthy gentlemen separated on both sides. Some bowed slightly, and some took off their hats to show respect.
Normally, His Majesty the King would open the curtains at this time and greet them.
However, this time, King Clyde showed no reaction.
As the carriage drove slowly by, it finally stopped not far from the Holy See of Light.
The two knights stood half-kneeling on both sides, waiting for His Majesty the King to step out of the carriage.
But His Majesty the King did not get out of the car.
This is a very strange thing.
No matter how decadent life is on weekdays, at least it must be dignified during worship, so King Clyde did not let his beloved concubines serve him, but only stayed alone in the carriage.
Fell asleep?Not possible either.
After all, King Clyde is also a seventh-level warrior, not a weak and old scum noble. It is impossible to fall asleep in this situation, unless he deliberately wants to neglect the Holy See of Light.
After waiting for a long time, Captain Caesar of the Crazy Thunder Squadron also felt that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to step forward and knock on the carriage door.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Caesar is a powerful warrior with level nine strength, and he is the strongest person directly under the Kingdom of Finlay. How sensitive is his sense?
He approached the door of the carriage, and the straight line distance between King Clyde in the carriage was no more than two meters.The senses of a ninth-level warrior can easily detect a person's heartbeat and breathing.But inside the carriage. .There was silence.
Knight Caesar's heart felt cold.
"Your Majesty!" Without caring about anything else, he suddenly opened the door of the carriage and looked at the situation inside the carriage, his pupils contracting.
King Clyde "slept" in the car, his face rosy, as if he were alive.
The so-called "like a living person" means that the king's body has no scars, his face is as usual, there is no sign of poisoning, and he is even smiling.
The only problem is. .He has no life left.
This wise king was already dead in the carriage.
At this moment, the captain of Kuang Lei Squadron had many thoughts in his mind.
Cover-ups, deceptions, intrigues, power games.
The knight of death, infighting, sacrifice, scapegoating.
For the death of the king, he, the defender and discoverer, cannot absolve himself of the blame. Under normal circumstances, he will definitely be severely punished.
Of course, with his strength as a ninth-level warrior, it is unlikely that he will be executed directly. At most, he will be exiled to the frontier of the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance.
But even so, he was absolutely unwilling.
His status in the kingdom was quite high and he was very free.
But at the forefront of the battle between the two major alliances, there is also the possibility of death.
But from the other side, he and his men are the only ones who know about the king's death now. If done correctly, maybe he can benefit from it?
Just as he was thinking about who to tell the first-hand news, a majestic old man wearing a red bishop's robe and a crown walked out of the church. His body was covered with a light curtain, and he strode towards the royal carriage. .
Seeing the appearance of this cardinal from the Holy See of Light, Caesar knew that his unformed plan was going bankrupt.
He walked forward quickly, with a look of sorrow on his face, and knelt on the ground on one knee.
"Lord Lampson, His Majesty has passed away."
Cardinal Lampson frowned and waved his hand for Caesar to step aside. He looked carefully at Clyde's non-existent injuries and his pupils shrank slightly, as if he had thought of something.
A secular king is not even as noble as a red archbishop when he is alive.
But a dead king, and a king who died of murder, was different.
The king is closer to the world than the archbishop.
The red archbishop is dead, and the upper echelons of the Holy See will appoint another one.
This is true as long as the method of death is normal, whether it is death of old age or death in a clear battle.
But a king, no matter how he dies, causes unrest in the power of the aristocracy.
In order to inherit the throne, compete for the throne, and redistribute power in order to win, the nobles in the core circle of power will fight to the death.
And if the king dies in an unknown way, the trouble will be doubled.
After all, this is Leifen City, a holy city.A king died inexplicably, why don't the Holy See of Light give an explanation? !
But that explanation is not so easy to give.
After all, Cardinal Lampson is an upper echelon of the Holy See of Light, and his eyesight is not bad.
He could tell at a glance that the extremely young-looking King Clyde did not have any external injuries on his body, nor did his face show signs of poisoning.
However, he died very thoroughly.
This kind of death was invisible to others, but Cardinal Gilmer had some guesses.
"Is it a soul attack? A strong man at the top of the Holy Domain assassinated the king. This matter... Forget it, let's report this matter to His Majesty."
Cardinal Lampson said helplessly.
But he didn't realize that the king's space ring had disappeared.
Within an hour, news came out that King Clyde suddenly died of a sudden illness.
For a time, there was palace fighting, fighting for position, and killing.
There is a turmoil in the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Finlay.
