Fourteen-year-old Florian is the only son of Matthias, the head of the White Tower Kingdom.
He is indeed a wizard who just awakened a month ago.
A month ago, just after the New Year, Florian completed his coming-of-age ceremony and officially began his rose-colored life as a playboy.
The life of a dandy is not as miserable as imagined. It is a training ground for young nobles to learn social rules. Although there are some entertainment activities, they are much more elegant than the entertainment of the civilian class.
They will not go to the kind of romantic places that open their doors to attract customers, let alone the wandering warblers on the streets. They will go to the theater to enjoy the performances of famous singers and dancers, where they will find their favorite objects and write romantic legends.
During a performance, Florian fell in love with a singer. He gave the singer a garland, and the singer picked a flower and gave it to Florian in return.
This is one of the social rules. The singer accepted Florian's invitation, and tonight will be very romantic.
But before the performance ended, an accident suddenly occurred in the theater, and a fire broke out under the stage.
Theaters in this era already had stage special effects, and there was a special type of artist hiding behind the scenes who were responsible for creating fire and smoke. Fire is the most common disaster in theaters. As long as some small fires are handled properly, the performance will not even be interrupted.
But this time the fire was unusual. People found that these flames were alive and not only difficult to extinguish, but also actively attacked the actors.
Most of the guards around Florian had been on the battlefield, and they recognized these flames at a glance. They were Balrogs, and there were about five of them. Although they were only the lowest fire starters (a type of Balrog), Florian's fire alone
The thirty guards around Li An really couldn't do anything to them.
The guards could not defeat the evil spirit, but they could protect Florian from leaving safely.
But Florian didn't want to leave safely. He wanted to rescue the singer. This was a problem caused by not having experienced love. The nobles would appropriately indulge their children in this regard. This is not a disregard for morality or over-indulgence. This is
This is to prevent them from paying a heavy price on people who don't matter.
This was Florian's first lesson in love. Unfortunately, the tuition for this lesson was very high. Regardless of the guards' obstruction, he rushed onto the stage in person, blocking the beautiful singer behind him, and pulled out the
He drew his sword and tried to fight the Balrog. When he saw the Balrog melting his sword, he realized that he had been surrounded by the Balrog and had lost the chance to escape.
Many wizards awaken at the moment of life and death, because the threat of death can stimulate a person's full potential. Florian's potential was stimulated. For the first time in his life, he performed witchcraft, turning the water poured by the guards into
It became crushed ice.
The crushed ice hit the Balrogs, quickly weakening their vitality. After eating several buckets of crushed ice, the two Balrogs disappeared directly. Florian, who was surprised by this ability, felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
He and the soldiers began to cooperate tacitly, and destroyed all the Balrogs amidst the cheers of the people.
But who could have imagined that after just one night, the cheers would turn into the most vicious curse.
There were more than 300 people watching the performance in the theater. These people all witnessed Florian's magical ability. This matter reached the ears of the God of Punishment the next day.
Being able to turn water into ice instantly is undoubtedly witchcraft.
Picherus, the leader of the Heavenly Punishers of the White Tower Kingdom and the first messenger of God, directly brought the Paladin and asked for Florian's identity to be revealed.
The Heavenly Punishers have a very high status in the White Tower Kingdom. They can burn the king's daughter to death in the Lion Kingdom, and they can also burn the leader's son to death in the White Tower Kingdom.
Mathias, who was eager to protect his son, rejected Picherus's request. The enraged Picherus gathered a large number of punishers to protest in the city on the top of the tower. At the same time, Hamanis, the lifelong tribune, challenged Heaven.
The Punishers provided support, and a large number of civilians joined the ranks of the Punishers. The protests shook Matthias's rule.
Everything happened so suddenly, and the experienced Mathias panicked for a moment. He made up lies full of loopholes to the Senate, and also used the guards to maintain order in the capital. All these measures made the contradictions continue to intensify.
It wasn't until the situation was completely out of control that he tried to calm down and seriously think about the whole incident.
There has never been a Balrog in the capital, but under such strict defense, the Balrog actually appeared in the theater.
His son had never touched a woman. He was planning to place some beautiful maids around Florian, but he didn't expect that he would go to the theater with his friends first to look for beauty.
And this friend turned out to be the tribune's nephew.
With a little effort you can smell it, it's a political conspiracy.
But now that I think about it, there is no use. Hamanis, the lifelong tribune, has been spying on the throne of the head of state. He caught such a serious trick, and Matthias has lost the chance to maneuver.
There are only two ways before him. The first way is to completely break up with the God of Punishment and send out the army to quell the riot.
But this is just his wishful thinking. Without the permission of the civilian assembly, the head of state has no right to mobilize the army. Matthias can try to gamble with his prestige, but if the gamble fails, he will lose the lives of his entire family.
The second way, the conditions for those who accept the punishment from heaven, all the conditions are written on paper.
First, cut off all ties with Reginald Victor, the son of the devil, and the evil country he established, the Snow Breaking Country, because he allowed aliens to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and used vicious methods to kill the kind-hearted Punishers.
Second, cut off all contact with the son of the devil, Chris Lane, and his rebels. The reason is that he used the evil power of the Snow Breaking Kingdom to try to usurp the throne of King Lane, and used an insidious plan to kill the Saint of the Punisher.
Sati.
Third, send troops to support King Charlemagne of the Lion Kingdom until all traitors and aliens in the Lion Country are eliminated.
These three conditions have subverted all of Matthias's diplomatic and military strategies. Under the coercion of the Punishers and Tribunes, Matthias will be forced to send troops. Such behavior is almost tantamount to usurping power.
But as long as these three conditions are agreed to, the God of Punishment can guarantee the safety of his son.
After three days of suffering, the mentally and physically exhausted Mathias signed the contract.
The storm subsided immediately. Picherus conveyed God's will to all the punishers. The kind-hearted Florian used his life to protect an ordinary singer. His bravery impressed the gods. The evil Balrog was affected at that moment.
Punishment from the gods.
Since the son of the head of state was not a wizard, the protesters dispersed naturally. Next, it was Matthias' turn to fulfill his promise.
With the permission of the head of state, Hamanis, the lifelong tribune, personally selected 20,000 soldiers to form a counter-rebellion army and set out from the sea to support Charlemagne.
Also setting off with them are 20,000 heavily armed Heavenly Punishers, who will arrive at Golden Lion Port within half a month.
