Prince Charlie said these words categorically, and his young face was filled with a kind of cold arrogance. It made both knights stunned for a moment, and then the black-faced Stegel couldn't help but shouted.
:"you……"
"Shut up, Steiger!" Pope Paul XVI immediately stopped this reckless subordinate. He gave Prince Charles a deep look: "Your Highness, it was my people who were rude. Please believe it,
The Church of Light has absolutely no intention of looking down upon the royal family and the aristocracy."
Stegel's dark face turned purple from holding back, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only grit his teeth and sit back. But the Pope ordered the two of them to apologize to Prince Charlie immediately. The two had no choice but to
I can do it.
The Pope looked at the young and gentle Prince Charlie, but he felt wary in his heart!
It is surprising that Prince Charlie has such eloquence and insight at such a young age. But what makes the Pope even more unhappy is that this little prince seems to have no respect for the temple! Even, faintly... it seems
And a bit of hostility!
You know, this Prince Charles, everyone knows that he is 90% likely to inherit the throne in the future! Such an emperor who has been hostile to the church since he was a child... is probably not a good thing for the temple!
Although he thought so in his heart, the Pope smiled warmly and said: "Your Highness Charlie, may I ask where I made my mistake?"
Prince Charlie finally showed a hint of nervousness when faced with the question from the spiritual leader of the mainland. After all, he was still young. He was still a little embarrassed to accuse the spiritual leader of the mainland of his mistakes in person. He took a deep breath.
But suddenly he saw Tulip Duke Duwei next to him, smiling encouragingly at him.
The little guy immediately calmed down a little, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, you said that the knights have a noble status, which is true... but that is for civilians! According to tradition, the knights' allegiance is to the nobles! Or the empire! For
For a truly noble noble, the so-called knight is just an object of loyalty to him, a 'retainer'! Then let alone His Majesty the Emperor! To His Majesty the Emperor, all the knights on the continent are
Just a minister! A soldier, even a servant! The emperor is the real master of this continent! For a master... Wherever there is a fight between servants, the master will be the referee! This is simply ridiculous! If we really do this
If so, God knows what will be recorded in the history books in a few years! I am worried that it will even be praised as a scandal by future generations! Therefore, I believe that the emperor must not act as a judge! The only possibility is to be the 'rewarder'
The identity appears! And it is definitely not a judgment! It is impossible to participate in it!!"
There is almost no flaw in what he said. After all, in this world, the hierarchical system is still extremely strict! Especially the aristocracy values the tradition of the hierarchical system more than anything else! Because this is the guarantee for their noble status.
.
The Pope was silent for a few seconds, then he seemed to smile, and smiled at Prince Chen and the old emperor: "It seems that we have ignored the issue of royal dignity. Please forget this ridiculous suggestion."
"It can be judged..." That Steiger didn't seem to understand the Pope's meaning.
"Judgment?" Du Wei suddenly spoke and said calmly: "Martial arts competition in the ring. What kind of judgment is needed! It's not a competition of literary talent and poetry! In the duel of warriors, the sword has no eyes! Living is victory, dying is failure! What kind of judgment is needed?
!”
"What Bishop Du Wei said makes no sense!" the sly Randall said. Before he accused Du Wei this time, he was smarter and deliberately called Du Wei "bishop", otherwise he was worried that Du Wei would
For the same reason, he reprimanded himself for "commoners reprimanding nobles". You know, Charlie is a prince, but Du Wei's title is not low!!!
First, Du Wei's identity as "bishop" has been established. Then if he refutes Du Wei as a knight of the Church Knights, he will not be criticized by the other party on the issue of identity.
Randall continued: "Although it is said that warriors' duel is sword-less... but after all, this is a competition, not a life-and-death duel! Should every contestant be divided into life and death? If that is the case,
I’m afraid that the final champion will have to kill many people! So I feel that a judge is still needed, and this judge... If His Majesty the Emperor cannot be the judge, then several warriors with prominent reputations in the empire should be invited to be the judge!"
Du Wei sneered and said suddenly without any hesitation: "Sir, what do you think of inviting Knight Rodriguez, known as the 'Sword Master of the Silver Night', to be the judge?"
Randall was unprepared and nodded naturally: "Lord Rodriguez is a powerful man of the Holy Order. If he is the judge, I don't think anyone can object..."
"Humph!" Duwei looked at Randall with an idiot's look, and laughed mockingly: "That's it! Mr. Randall, if you participate in the competition and win the championship, then Mr. Rodriguez will be the judge.
When I personally award the title of 'Number One in the World' to you, are you willing to accept it?"
"This..." Randall immediately realized that he had been fooled again.
Even Prince Charlie looked at the two knights with pity.
Indeed, if it is Rodriguez...are you embarrassed to accept him awarding you the title of No. 1 in the world? Or do you think you can beat Rodriguez?!
"There's no need to argue." Prince Chen suddenly smiled and glanced at the Pope: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
"My child, your idea must be very clever, please tell me." The old pope calmly took advantage of Prince Chen again.
Prince Chen didn't seem to care at all and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that the temple would be interested in this martial arts competition. But since the temple is willing to participate, then for the position of judge, I think it is better to set up four judges. Well,
After all, the Knights Association is a mainland knight organization, so Delong, the president of the Knights Association, can be counted as one."
Everyone nodded. After all, although the Knights Association has declined, the brand name is still there. Regardless of whether Delong is a waste or not, it is acceptable for him to serve as a judge.
"Besides, I think the church should also send someone to occupy a quota." Prince Chen smiled slightly: "Of course, I will ask His Majesty the Pope to decide on this candidate after you return."
The Pope nodded.
"The third quota... let our royal family send a palace warrior to represent it. I would like to ask the chief palace warrior of the palace to represent the royal family to show the royal family's respect for this conference."
There is naturally no problem with this proposal.
"For the final fourth spot... let the empire officially send a representative! To show that the empire attaches great importance to this conference."
There is no doubt that no one can object to this statement.
But in terms of candidates... Prince Chen naturally turned to his most trusted candidate: Du Wei!
"Du Wei, you came up with this proposal first, and you are famous in the empire. The reputation of Duke Tulip is well-known in the mainland. In the northwest battle, you have made outstanding achievements, and you also have the rank of imperial general. So the fourth
I invite you to be the judge."
In fact, everyone has thought of it... Everyone knows that the person Prince Chen trusts the most now is the Tulip Duke.
However, Du Wei's actions exceeded everyone's expectations!
"Your Highness, I refuse." Du Wei suddenly stood up with a calm expression: "Please forgive me for not being able to accept your order... I cannot be the judge of this conference."
"...Why?" Prince Chen was also stunned.
"Because..." Du Wei suddenly smiled: "I decided to sign up for this conference! As a contestant, for the sake of fairness, I naturally cannot be the judge!"
Everyone was stunned!
Randall, who had been ridiculed by Du Wei just now, couldn't help but sneered: "Sir Bishop, although your reputation is powerful in the mainland, you should be a magician! This... is a warrior's game!"
"I know this is a warrior's game." Du Wei looked at this guy, half-smiling, and suddenly took out a silver knight badge from his arms and shook it in his hand: "In addition to being a magician,
In addition, I also hold the title of knight! Dear Lord Knight! Please know that you are in front of a mainland ninth-level knight who has been certified by the Continental Knights Association and is absolutely authoritative and legal!"
Everyone looked at the knight badge in Du Wei's hand and couldn't help but be stunned.
Level nine? Level nine knight?
Du Wei sighed inwardly... There is absolutely no problem with the legality of this thing! This is a knight's rank badge issued by the president of the Continental Knights Association... It's just that after having a good meal last night, De
That guy Takashi forced it on himself while burping wine...
"So..." Prince Chen couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Du Wei, you..."
"I have decided to participate, Your Highness." Du Wei smiled: "I also want to grab the title of 'No. 1 in the world' and go home for fun."
