"The current situation in the imperial capital is very complicated..."
Hodge sighed sincerely. From Marquis Bach's narration, he heard the complicated situation in the imperial capital today.
I originally thought that the three major churches were above everything else, saying that the divine power was supreme, overpowering the imperial power, and could do whatever they wanted.
But now it seems that even if it is as powerful as the Holy Church, it still has its own scruples and cannot be unruly.
Even if there is a true god, the three major churches and the royal family of the Salom Empire are still in a state of half-cooperation and half-utilization.
The True God needs believers and missionaries to stabilize its own state and resist the invasion of evil spirits and the erosion of high-sequence extraordinary characteristics.
The Salom Empire needs the protection of the True God and the three major churches to prevent other forces and enemy countries from targeting and destroying it.
The strength of the three major churches has always been very strong. In this era when evil organizations, angel families, and hidden forces are emerging in endlessly, without the protection of the churches, the Salom Empire will have many problems, all kinds of evil spirits, and strange things.
There will be endless events.
"Well, so you have to be careful not to use the blood cup in front of others. This sealed object is very powerful and special. It may be sensed by people from the blood clan. You know, they are crazy about the holy objects of the blood clan...
…”
Marquis Bach looked serious and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Hotch immediately thought of the members at the Blood Moon Gathering, their reactions to hearing the whereabouts of the Thirteen Sacred Artifacts, that kind of fanaticism, that kind of excitement, that kind of belief that cannot be faked, once they find out in their hands
There is also one of the Thirteen Saints of the Vampire Clan, so the consequences are simply unimaginable!
Hotch nodded and replied: "Yes, father, I understand."
"Well, there is also the silver key you often hold in your hand... It is also very special. It has a great connection with the vampires and ancient giants. Don't take it out often, as some guys may notice it and bring it to you.
Come to danger."
Marquis Bach reminded him again, and then asked: "What are your plans next?"
"Princess Leia still doesn't want to say anything?" Huo Qi asked with a frown.
"Well, she is about to leave. What happened tonight has brought a big shock to her. Judging from her actions, the person who planned this matter at the top of the empire has a very high status, which makes Princess Leia very afraid and dare not
Say more." Marquis Bach responded softly.
"Where's Bernard?"
"Did he also choose to hide it?"
Hodge looked at his father, Marquis Bach, and asked.
"He was also used. He didn't know the person behind the scenes, but he told me a name." Marquis Bach thought for a while and answered.
"What name?" Hotch asked.
"Arnold Abraham." Marquis Bach said the name directly without concealing it.
"Abraham?" Hodge frowned, his eyes flickering, thoughtfully.
The surname Abraham has a unique meaning in the Salom Empire.
Because this surname is the national surname of the previous Abraham Empire, that is to say, the Abraham family and this surname represent the remaining power of the previous dynasty.
In addition to those Abraham members and direct members of the royal family who were destroyed due to the national war, there are still many Abraham clan members in the imperial capital.
Back then, when Salom I captured the imperial city, Abraham led his men to resist desperately. The two sides were in a stalemate for more than a month, and the army of the Salom Empire was unable to break through the city.
At this time, Salom I received the advice of a certain family elder and sent people to sneak into the imperial city and find the down-and-out branch of the Abraham family. He promised to give them a fiefdom and let them enjoy the glory and wealth after the completion of the project. The conditions were:
Help Salom's army open the city gate.
Faced with Salom I's pull, the branch clan leader originally wanted to refuse. After all, they share the same clan and ancestors and are blood relatives. This kind of betrayal is despicable and shameful no matter how you say it.
But many people want the clan leader to agree to this matter.
Because they could no longer bear the sacrifices of their tribesmen and family members, the continuous battles resulted in heavy casualties among their blood relatives.
The royal blood cherishes life, and members of its own main bloodline are reluctant to use it, forcing members of the branch bloodlines to fight and die.
This makes many branch members feel disgusted with their own main line.
After the ups and downs, the branch finally agreed to the request of Salom I, opened the gate of Granville, and completed the famous Granville incident in history.
Because of this incident, the bloodline of the Abraham branch was preserved, and was granted a title by King Salom I.
"Who is Arnold Abraham?" Hodge briefly sorted out the knowledge about Abraham in his mind.
"He is the alderman of the imperial capital." Marquis Bach looked at Hodge and responded softly.
"Alderman?"
Hodge actually didn't understand this kind of Western official position and power at first, but in order to integrate into this era, he forced himself to learn a lot of relevant knowledge.
Among them are official positions and corresponding powers.
"Father, is he a noble?" Hotch asked softly.
Marquis Bach nodded slightly in affirmation.
The municipal official, also called the construction official, is an official position in the Salom Empire. He is responsible for the maintenance of public facilities and municipal work. He also has certain management rights over urban security.
In the ancient dynasty of Huo Qi's time, this position would be equivalent to Jing Zhaoyin, that is, the mayor of the capital.
This position is also a high-level official position in the Salom Empire, which has an imperfect hierarchical system.
There is another special feature of this official position, and that is gold plating.
Such officials are often important positions held by politicians who want to climb further up the ladder to gain political capital and win the support of the people.
The two current consuls have both served as alderman.
In the imperial capital, there are usually four municipal officials, two civilians and two nobles, who check and balance each other.
This is also the reason why Hotch asked his father just now if this person was a noble.
"How about it?"
"How are you going to investigate this?"
Marquis Bach knew his son's temper, and he had no intention of stopping Hodge's efforts to find out the truth.
"Let's take a good rest for a while and wait until the coming-of-age ceremony is over."
"This matter cannot be rushed. The high-ranking officials of the empire are definitely trying to hide the evidence and erase the traces of supporting Bernard. If we forcefully investigate this matter now, we are undoubtedly completely falling out with the high-ranking officials of the empire. For us,
Extremely disadvantageous.”
"What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true."
"After the coming-of-age ceremony, I will go to the Imperial School for Nobility and investigate this city official."
Hodge replied extremely calmly.
Ever since he knew that the other party was a high-level force in the empire, Hodge had no intention of going to war.
It’s not that I won’t do it, it’s that the time has not come yet.
A big shot that even Princess Leia is extremely afraid of and wants to help hide his identity is not something that Hodge can deal with. His father, Marquis Bach, may have a way to deal with him, but a fierce conflict will inevitably break out. The fiefdom has just experienced a war and needs time to relax.
Recuperate and recuperate.
This is not the best time to investigate.
"Well, I'm glad you can understand this."
"Well... before the coming-of-age ceremony, our family will go to the Cathedral of Senligels to pray to God, hoping that He will bless you with good health and stay away from diseases and disasters."
"Yes, father." Hodge did not refuse. The church people had been of great help to their family this time, and they really wanted to go.
Marquis Bach patted Hodge's shoulder lightly and said, "Okay, I'm going to rest. After you finish processing, you should go to bed early. I haven't slept all night."
