I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

"To be honest, father. When I returned to Paris, I was not surprised at all when I heard about Chevalier Raya's performance in the joust and his winning the title of Perfect Knight."

According to Catalino, it is normal for Xu Siling to obtain this title, and there is no need to be surprised or doubtful.

"I believe that my father has also heard that before the war, Knight Raya did not wear any armor and humiliated Lord Khamis in front of all the soldiers under the castle of Tamubao."

"Lord Khamis became angry and ordered to shoot arrows, but the soldiers did not move. No soldier dared to carry out Lord Khamis's order."

Marquis Boggs nodded slowly: "I have heard about this, but no one seems to believe it."

"It's not that the soldiers are unwilling to obey Lord Khamis's orders, but that they are really afraid."

"So, kid, this is the second reason why Khamis lost so completely in the Battle of Talmuba?"

"Yes, the morale gap between the soldiers on both sides is too big, especially the soldiers of Lord Khamis. They were so low that as soon as the Raya soldiers landed on the city, some people surrendered. Because Miss Raya announced at the beginning of the war that the soldiers would be innocent as long as they surrendered. She just She came to attack Master Khamis. And in fact, she did it, and not a single surrendered soldier was convicted. "

"Then there is one last reason, what is it?"

Catalino made a knowing look: "What else could it be, father."

"Yeah. What else could it be? It can only be the Raya Knight."

In the Battle of Tamubao, the three reasons why Raya was able to win a complete victory in the siege with this battle loss ratio are as simple as this.

The siege equipment is complete, and the morale gap between the two sides is huge, as well as Xu Siling.

Blanche and Chris on the inside of the bookshelf naturally knew Xu Siling's power, but they didn't know he was so powerful.

Blanche suddenly realized, no wonder the knights competed. No matter what Xu Siling did or what surprising choices he made, Feier and Anli would not panic or worry, and they had such firm trust in Xu Siling.

The strength Xu Siling showed was enough for anyone to believe in him, and he would never lose.

Chris secretly glanced at Xu Siling's indifferent profile, her heart was racing and her face was red with embarrassment. She wanted to reach out and pull Xu Siling's sleeves, but she didn't dare.

"So, this is what you said, there is something secret about Raya?"

Marquis Boggs was a little surprised, although he was very curious about the deep hatred between Raya and Hamis, and why Hamis had to be destroyed. This destruction included the entire Hamis family.

This kind of behavior is really intolerable in the eyes of the nobles.

"No, this is not a secret thing I want to say."

"what is that."

"it is this."

Catalino took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Marquis Boggs's desk.

Xu Siling frowned subconsciously when she saw the letter through the gap.

He was a little surprised, why is this letter here? Still in the hands of brother Chris.

Chris was keenly aware of the change in Xu Siling's expression and immediately understood that the letter her brother had just taken out was very important to Xu Siling.

"Father, please read it carefully. The content of the letter is about Miss Raya's secret matter."

Xu Siling frowned. He didn't know what the content of the letter was.

But before Khamis was beheaded by him, he said that this letter was left by Abner when he returned to Raya Town to seize power and kill his father.

He said that as long as something happens to him, relying on this letter, he can justifiably attack Phil Raya.

You can even use this letter to ask other nobles for help.

At that time, Xu Siling searched the inner fort and the Jewish settlement but could not find it. He even burned down the Jewish settlement with a fire.

It doesn't matter if he can't find it, as long as it doesn't appear and doesn't affect his and Mayfair's plans, that's fine.

It has been so long since the Battle of Tamubao ended, but I still don't believe the news spread.

Xu Siling thought he had burned the letter.

I didn't expect it
After reading the letter, Marquis Boggs first showed surprise, then became silent, and his tone was very low.

"Catalino, how did you get this letter?"

"It was given to me by a Jew named Frank before the Battle of Tamburg."

"Jew? Why would he hand it over to you for no reason?"

Catalino shook his head: "He didn't go into details, but he had made a plan to frame Knight Raya before he knew the strength of Knight Raya. It seemed that he felt that the situation in Tamubao was not good in advance, so he secretly sent the letter He gave it to me because he knew I was the son of a marquis."

"What request did he make?"

"Frank's request is very simple, that is, find someone to protect him and his family when necessary." Catalino was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "The battle of Tamubao ended very quickly, and Raya's execution was also Soon, not only the Khamis family was wiped out, but all the Jews living in Tamubao also disappeared. It is said that the executioner who executed the two families was the Knight Raya himself. "

Xu Siling couldn't help but rub her chin. Catalino was fine. He could get this kind of information.

You must know that the burning of the Jews and the burning of the Khamis tribe are forbidden among the Raya soldiers.

It seems that the Raya soldiers still have a lot of loopholes.
Just think about it, what are you doing with such high requirements for temporarily recruited soldiers who are not of high quality?

As long as the nobility and royal family have no evidence, it means nothing.

When they heard what Catalino said, Blanche and Chris turned pale with fright.

Although this is Catalino's one-word testimony and there is no actual evidence to prove that this happened, Xu Siling's expression remains calm and unchanged, which is really imaginative.

"Many days have passed since Miss Raya arrived in Paris, but His Majesty the King still hasn't set a date to talk to her. What happened?"

After Catalino handed the letter to his father, he was relieved and asked curiously what he cared about.

"It's simple. The king is putting pressure on us nobles."

"Pressure?"

Marquis Boggs put down the letter in his hand and said seriously: "Raya has great power, not to mention influence. Now the entire kingdom has been shrouded and destroyed by the Black Death, and only Raya's territory has not been affected by the Black Death. Troubled. She attributed everything to God's revelation, and even said frankly that the king was French orthodoxy and wanted to support the king in regaining the lost territory. What should we do? "

"What should I do?" Catalino shook his head, "Didn't His Majesty the King hold a three-level meeting before, and didn't he even raise money for the war?"

"He didn't raise the money because we nobles didn't let go!" Marquis Boggs gritted his teeth, "How can we waste our money on him like this! After fighting for so long, what did we get? For other people's territory Go to war? Catalino, please be clear-headed. The loss of the northern territory has no impact on us. If the king wants to go to war, let him pay for it!"

Catalino fell silent, unwilling to continue on this topic.

"Is the war issue directly related to Miss Raya?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the king has been leaving Raya alone?" Marquis Boggs snorted, "Of course it is to give time for Raya's influence to slowly ferment among the nobles, and to coerce the nobles to listen to him, and now We also have to add the influence of the knight Raya. What do you think of her, Raya, in the eyes of the French nobles?"

"A key to saving the kingdom from its plight."

"That's right, although I really don't want to admit it. But no one can solve the Black Death at present, not even Pope Cressy VI! Every day, people in the kingdom die of the Black Death. Our nobles' The territory is running out of intact people to work and produce. No one works in our territory. Where will we get the taxes? What should we do with the nobles who are infected with the Black Death? "

The Marquis of Boggs slapped the desk angrily, making Catalino jump in fright.

"Should we let those nobles infected with the Black Death lie in bed waiting to die, shouting slogans like the Knights Templar - God's will before they die?" "No!"

"The lives of our nobles are not so lowly."

"And now, Raya is a bargaining chip between the king and our nobles."

"When Raya's influence is almost fermented, only if we are willing to obey, the king will be willing to let Raya help us, or should I say, save us!"

Catalino was full of disbelief: "Impossible, the Holy See will not allow His Majesty the King to do this. You must know that Raya may be a Holy See of the Holy See!"

"What's impossible? The current Pope Cressy VI is just a pig raised by the king! If the king really wants to do this, what do you think the pope dares to say?" Marquis Boggs looked unhappy. "The pope can only keep his secrets privately." Apart from using the excuse of the Black Death to wipe out all the spies around him, what else can he do to say no to the king? "

indeed.

Still under the influence of the Prison of Avignon.

The Holy See moved from Rome to France, and the French Pope was indeed a pig raised by the French royal family.

"Could it be that Miss Raya will really obey His Majesty the King's order to coerce us?"

Marquis Boggs couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his son looked miserable and felt very sorry for the people of the kingdom.

He took off three gemstone rings from his fingers and placed them one by one in front of Catalino.

"Kid, look."

"This ring represents the royal family. They are the supreme power of the kingdom, the most prominent family in the entire kingdom, and are in charge of everything in the kingdom."

"And this ring represents the Holy See. They are the existence of the faith of the people of the kingdom. They are also the organization that currently supports the legitimacy of the royal family."

"This third ring represents the nobility. We are the power of the entire kingdom. We are the sword and shield of the kingdom."

Marquis Boggs tapped his finger on the ring that represented the Holy See and the nobility.

"It seems that the Holy See and the nobles mainly serve the royal family."

"But this isn't right."

"If the Holy See's influence is strong enough, it can even easily deprive the royal family of everything and make the legitimate king illegitimate."

"The same is true for us nobles. As long as the nobles unite and raise our shields, the royal family cannot threaten us. Our swords can even threaten the royal family."

Catalino thought for a long time and nodded slowly: "I understand, father. You want to tell me that His Majesty the King wants to control us. In order not to be controlled, we need to unite and even assist each other with the Holy See."

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Marquis Boggs took off a ring from his finger again.

He placed the ring in front of the three rings and asked thoughtfully.

"Catalino, you said this ring represents Raya and her knights. Which side do they belong to?"

"This" Catalino was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Does it belong to the royal family, the Holy See, or even our nobles?"

No matter what Catalino thinks, it doesn't feel right.

In terms of status, Raya's background is a noble. It would not be wrong to say that she belongs to a noble family.

But now she is very likely to become a saint of the Holy See. On the contrary, this level of influence is greater than her status as a noble.

But it is not correct to say that Raya belongs to the Holy See.

Because Raya has already said frankly that she will support His Majesty the King, His Majesty the King's legitimacy, and His Majesty the King's selfish motives - to regain lost territory.

After thinking for a long time, Catalino gave an answer that seemed right.

"I think the current Miss Raya belongs to the royal family. Although Miss Raya does not have the status of the royal family, she has the dual status of aristocrat and the Holy See, but she supports the royal family in the name of God."

Marquis Boggs's expression remained unchanged, neither denying nor confirming, but just nodded lightly.

He tapped the ring that represented Raya gently with his finger.

"Raya is special, so what you say is right and wrong. It should be said that Raya belongs to a third-party force."

"Third party force?" Catalino didn't understand.

"To put it simply, Raya does not belong to any party in the kingdom, and she can also belong to any party."

Marquis Boggs pressed his finger on the ring representing Raya and pushed it in front of the royal family.

"She can speak out, support the royal family in the name of God, stand on the side of the royal family, assist the king, and regain lost ground."

The Marquis of Boggs pushed Raya from the royal family to the Holy See.

"Similarly, you can also support the Holy See in the name of God, stand on the side of the Holy See, assist the Pope, and revive the Holy Religion."

"More or."

The Marquis of Boggs pushed Raya from the Holy See to the nobility.

"In the name of God, support the nobles, stand on our side, safeguard the interests of the ruling power of the nobles, and unite!"

Catalino couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief.

"How is that possible, father. I heard that after the Battle of Tamubao, His Majesty the King and the Pope arranged for people to go to Raya Town and invite Miss Raya to meet. When faced with the decision of going south or north, Raya The lady is telling everyone with practical actions that she will go north to support the royal family!"

Marquis Boggs chuckled: "That's why I say that this Raya is not simple. If she was really firmly on the side of the royal family, she should have directly refused to invite the clergy who went south to meet with her that day, instead of saying nothing. , making everything full of possibilities.”

Xu Siling blinked, and couldn't help but marvel in her heart.

At that time, he and Fei'er didn't even think about the decision to go north or south.

Because of Xu Siling's mistake, he ignored the impact of the Prisoner of Avignon incident and subconsciously believed that the Pope was in Reims Cathedral in the north.

I can only say that this is another wonderful misunderstanding.
"But now, Miss Raya is already in Paris."

"Yes, is it possible that when she is in Paris, the Pope will be helpless and will not struggle? My good boy, just watch, the Pope's methods are behind him. I guess you will know it in a few days. "

Catalino couldn't help but swallowed his saliva: "Then father, you said earlier that Miss Raya might also support us? Why?"

"Why?"

Marquis Boggs couldn't help but grin, and the solemn look on his face disappeared.

He raised the letter in his hand and waved it.

"This letter can now be one of the bargaining chips for our nobles to negotiate with Raya." (End of Chapter)
