I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

John calmed down and walked around the library by himself.

Because of his political disagreement with Philip VI, he subconsciously forgot everything he said.

Regarding the news about Xu Siling, he vaguely remembered what Philip VI had said, but he didn't hear any of it.

Now that he knows that the knight he is so attracted to is Raya's knight, he feels a little strange.

He didn't remember Xu Siling's news.

But he had learned about Phil Raya in the central region of the kingdom.

Phil Raya, the heir to the Raya family in the central region of the kingdom.

During the outbreak of the Black Death, the regent of Raya Town, Raya's uncle John, suddenly died suddenly.

The cause of death was rebellion and seeking the throne, and then being killed by his own son Abner.

After Abner's righteous murder, he blamed himself and couldn't bear the pain of losing his loved ones, and then committed suicide.

Suicide is not recognized in the kingdom and the holy religion, and those who commit suicide must go to hell.

Therefore, after John's death, Abner, as the heir, naturally became the lord of John's original fief. Then he committed suicide, and the fief could only be returned to Philip VI.

This is the official newspaper document from Raya Town about that incident.

There is also a souvenir from Father Endritt confirming it.

The royal family actually doesn't care much about why John died.

The feud between the regent and the heir has happened countless times in this land, including his father Philip VI who was also the regent before he became the king of France?

But the more important reason is that Phil Raya is the person.

She frankly said that she had received a revelation from God, who told her how the Black Death came about, how to control it, and how to treat it.

He even bluntly stated that the orthodoxy of the Kingdom of France was Philip VI. Philip VI then went to war with England to regain the lost territories of France.

In essence, Raya had a great positive influence on the royal family, and even the soup recipes and control methods she passed down were fulfilled in the Holy See.

Philip VI's wife and John's mother was also infected with the Black Death, but she was saved by Raya's soup.

It can be said that both Philip VI and John owed Raya a favor.

Not to mention that Raya will become a saint of the Vatican without any accident, and she also supports the royal family as a saint.

After the defeat at the Battle of Crecy, the nobles and the royal family began to distance themselves. The Holy See, which was originally very obedient to the royal family, also became more hands-on in private.

The appearance of Raya broke the deadlock.

Raya supported the royal family as a noble and a Holy See, indirectly influencing other nobles to return to the control of the royal family.

Even though Raya is just a small viscount, his influence is no less than that of a duke.

Now Raya has come to Paris to meet with Philip VI, which is a good thing for the royal family both publicly and privately.

John should be happy.

I just thought of Xu Siling, as the only knight under the command of Saint Laya, her identity is also a bit subtle.

Normally, a noble would have more than one knight under his command, especially in a relatively wealthy territory like Raya Town, which could afford more than twenty knights.

But after Raya became the actual controller of Raya Town, she only consecrated one knight, and even her closest bodyguard was not conferred a reward.

Then came the Battle of Tamubao. This battle was a surprise to the royal family.

The Paris royal family had just received the news that Raya was going to send troops to attack Tamburg the day before. Philip VI and Hamis still had some favors, and he was still thinking about how to persuade him to make peace, but he never expected that he would accept it a few days later. As a result, Raya has captured Tamu Fort.

Khamis and the entire family, from top to bottom, were not spared.

The cruelty and swiftness of the method made both Philip VI and John deeply aware that Raya was not simple.

Khamis is an old-school noble. Although the income from the territory is sluggish, there are many knights and soldiers. Many of them are guys who have survived many battles.

The soldiers around Raya were basically temporarily recruited soldiers, especially the only knight Xu Siling.

Therefore, at that time, Philip VI and John both had a tacit understanding of the Battle of Talmburg, that is, this war would take a long time.

Raya has more soldiers than Khamis, but that extra number is really not an advantage when it comes to siege.

As long as Khamis defends seriously, not to mention resisting attacks, he can even send troops to attack as long as he repels a few waves of Raya's attacks.

The last news the royal family received was that it didn't even take more than a day from Raya's siege to victory.

This result is really unexpected by everyone.

There is too much vague and strange information about Phil Raya.

If Raya had truly been inspired by God, and with God's help, she could easily win the siege, there would seem to be nothing surprising.

After all, miracles and human power are not things on the same interface.

If Raya is really regarded as a saint, then Xu Siling, the only knight under her command, will also become interesting.

Philip VI looked a little impatient as he watched John walking around.

"This Xu Siling is known as the Knight of Justice by the people in Raya Town. I thought at that time that if he came to Paris, you and he would definitely be able to chat. You two have too many topics in common."

"Knight of Justice."

John was slightly enlightened. No wonder he always felt comfortable getting along with Xu Siling. It turned out that Xu Siling was really a believer in chivalry.

Raya canonized Xu Siling as a knight. Is this behavior also guided by God?

If so, it also means that Xu Siling is a knight recognized by God.

In this case, John would like Xu Siling even more!

"You always talk about chivalry and want to be a perfect knight." Philip VI said helplessly, "Isn't it coming now? Whenever I think of the perfect knight, I feel a little ridiculous."

"Father, can you tell me more about Xu's identity?"

Philip VI sighed. Although father and son had different political opinions, who was his biological son?

"He was born as an executioner, not from a family, and he has not received any formal military training."

"Executioner?" John exclaimed, "I have been in contact with him. He is polite in conversation and calm in temperament. In terms of fighting skills, speed and strength are the upper hand. The look in his eyes when fighting is like someone who has been on the battlefield for at least several years. How could he be an executioner?"

"That's why his strangeness is highlighted. If you think about it, the whole world, excluding France, has never heard of an executioner being canonized as a knight? Not to mention, the person who canonized him was Raya who received God's revelation."

"The perfect knight of justice" Philip VI squinted his eyes slightly, his dark green eyes making it difficult to see clearly. He slowly said: "Based on the information we received in the Battle of Tamubao, his contribution is not small. Rumor has it that With his own strength, he scaled the city wall, like a god descending from heaven, and defeated one against a hundred, instantly turning the tide of the battle. Without him, the battle of Tamubao would not have ended in one day."

"One against a hundred? God coming down to earth?" John looked unbelieving. "This must be bragging. How can anyone do such a thing?"

"Of course there is bragging, but how much do you think the bragging is? Is it 30%? Or 60%? Or is it all bragging?"

"This" John was suddenly confused and dared not speak.

"Even if this Xu Siling is only half as strong as he boasted, it is enough to represent his ability." Philip VI sighed, "I always thought that you listened to what I said. You took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xu in the tavern, You did it on purpose, I didn’t expect it to be accidental.”

"Ahem." John felt embarrassed.

"But it's a good thing. At least you get along well with him. With your temperament, you probably also appreciate him."

"Indeed, Xu is a very good man."

"Then find a way to become friends with him, and then..." Philip VI's eyes narrowed, "Try to win him over. If he can become your strength, it will be of great help to you."

"He is Raya's knight, how can I win over him?"

"Laya may not be a normal person. She was inspired by God, but Xu Siling can't be a normal person?" Philip VI looked at his good son as if he were an idiot, "If you are a human being, you will have desires. Even people like you want to pursue the path of knights every day, let alone a knight who was born as an executioner. As long as you seduce him well, he will become your strength."

Unexpectedly, John said bluntly and firmly: "No, Xu will not choose me."

Philip VI was surprised: "What do you mean?"

"A true knight will cherish honor. Xu and I both pursue a glorious reputation. Xu will protect his own honor and the reputation of the Raya family. He will definitely respect the oath and regard it as a moral duty. So..."

"Get out of here!!"

Philip VI slapped the desk angrily and stood up with angry eyes, which frightened John so much that he could not speak.

John looked at his father unhappily and rubbed half of his swollen face: "Just leave."

After taking a few steps, he was stopped again by Philip VI.

"Anything else?"

After getting angry, Philip VI couldn't help but lean on the chair. He put his forehead on his forehead and sighed. After gathering his emotions, he asked.

"I arranged things for you half a month ago, have you done it?"

This sentence seemed to touch John's back, and his red eyes became angry, and he spoke in a low voice like a wild beast.

"Father, I won't do it. I said it. I will never do this kind of thing. Put away your evil thoughts! Bonnet, my wife, I love her very much and I will not hurt her!"

Philip VI did not get angry this time, but was unusually calm.

"My child, I am doing this for your own good."

"For my own good? Stop talking nonsense, my father. You only care about the throne under your ass, you don't care about me at all."

"I admit that Bonnet is a good woman and she took good care of your child. But she deserves to die now. It's not like I didn't tell you my plan."

"Your plan?" John seemed to be going crazy. "The plan is for me to kill my wife and then get engaged to Blanche?"

Philip VI sighed helplessly and looked much older for a moment.

"My child, my health is getting worse day by day, and my position will be handed over to you sooner or later. Moreover, do you really think that my position is very secure? The reason why the nobles support me as king is that they don't have anything better. The choice is not to let an Englishman be the king."

"The Holy See is not as obedient as before. Clement VI is doing a lot of things in private and seems to be planning something. I can barely watch him now and he doesn't dare to move. But what if the throne is handed over to you?"

"I can't even imagine the future. Maybe I'm afraid."

"As you said, I am neither a competent king nor a competent father. Sitting in this position, I am hostile to both the nobles and the Holy See. I don't trust anyone, but I can only trust you."

"I want you to grow up to be the Dauphin, the future King of France."

"Someone has already done the perfect knight, leave this matter to others. John, can you try to be a king?"

John gritted his teeth and patiently listened to all of Philip VI's words, and finally suppressed his anger.

"As a king, you have to kill your wife? Do you have to be like you, a human being and a ghost? You deny your relatives, you have no morals at all, and your interests come first?!"

"As a king, you must naturally put the interests of the kingdom and the royal family first. Otherwise, how can you secure this position?" Philip VI lectured, "I can barely deal with the pressure from the nobles now, but if it were you , can you? Can you control the nobles, can you control the ambition of the pope?"

"Maybe I can't, but I don't want to be you." John couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Marrying Blanche can stabilize your position. As long as she assists you, even if I die, the nobles will not dare to have trouble with you."

Philip VI thought of something, sighed heavily, and stopped trying to persuade John.

"Come on, don't worry about this now. You go back and think about it carefully. The current situation has a woman like Raya. As long as she secures her position as a saint in the Holy See, if she is willing to firmly support us and I can control it well, the same will happen. It can secure your future throne.”

John lowered his head and turned around without replying. He didn't even want to look at Philip VI. He was really disappointed.

Until John was about to leave the study, Philip VI said another leisurely word.

"I don't have much time left. If you really haven't changed, nor are you ready to change, and you still want to be your knight, and you still look like this, I'm worried that you won't be able to secure this throne."

"What's wrong, father, who do you want to succeed you?"

"No, I said, I can only trust you, my child." Philip VI's dark green eyes were always hanging on John's back, half-smiling: "If you still want to be your knight. Clay Mang VI, I will make him disappear. A restless pope will be of no use. It is better to wait until you come to power and support someone who listens to you to come to power."

John didn't look back, he only felt like cold needles pricking his back.

His father spoke lightly and seemed very relaxed.

Just sentence a holy pope to death at will.

"Don't be surprised, child, this is royal power. And you don't have to forget that several popes in the Holy See have died at the hands of our family members, including Clement VI."

John left the palace without staying any longer.

When I came out, I found that it was raining lightly in Paris.

John looked up at the scattered rain, a little confused.

Rain falls on both the rich and the poor, on those who are kind and righteous, and on those who are morally corrupt.

The rain is unfair because it falls in a world without justice, reason, and ethics. (End of chapter)
