Rawls raised his eyebrows and looked at Alicia who was standing on one side. Seeing that she had no reaction, he knew that this was not what she told Dorothy... If it was still reasonable for Princess Delina to know, then
How did the countess in Ma Xi know her title?
"Your fiefdom is adjacent to the Kingdom of Maxi, and part of it originally belonged to the Negan family. Knowing your relationship with the Negan family and that you want to be knighted, it is not difficult to deduce the answer."
Dorothy Lovelace is a demigod of the "Reader" path, a "reasoning student" and a "keeper of knowledge" whose observation, logical thinking and reasoning are far superior to some detectives who rely on "divination", and she is also
A "prophet".
"Then you arrived at Backlund early. Was it the Gonzalez family that made the decision?"
Rawls doesn't care how many people know about his title. Anyway, it will be spread in Backlund tomorrow, and the attitude of the Ma Xi royal family will have a great impact on his follow-up. Unfortunately, he is in Ma Xi.
There are no channels to get news.
Although the Tamara family responded to his request by sending tribesmen to Winston, the capital of Ma Xi, due to their own route and short stay, they were unable to collect information from the upper levels. Because of the power of the Knowledge Church, and how many
Contact with a declining noble should also be done with caution.
As for the "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette, according to her, she has certain connections in Ma Xi, but Rawls did not ask her for help. On the one hand, Bernadette gave too much, and on the other hand, once she
Knowing Rawls's identity, cooperation may not be possible.
Rawls is a "lawyer" and has a chance to inherit the throne of the King of Marseille. Even if the chance is small, Bernadette's worst is based on the principle of "do whatever you want, but do no harm", and will neither stop nor help.
"You are also a member of the Gonzalez family."
Before entering the "Ghost Empire", Dorothy once took a drop of Rawls' blood, and after a special ceremony, it was confirmed that he was the son of the missing Crown Prince Madeleine of the Maxi Kingdom.
Based on the fact that King Orff of Marsi only had two daughters, even if Madeleine did not disappear, it would be impossible for her to marry outside, so Rawls's name should be Rawls Gonzalez, with at most "Adri" added in the middle.
install".
"Is that all?"
Rawls was not surprised by this. Although his body was created by the power of the "djinn", it was still a human being, not a mythical creature.
But there is a big difference between a prince with the blood of the Gonzales family and the Maxi Kingdom and an heir of the Maxi Kingdom. This is what he cares about most.
"His Majesty the King recognizes your identity, but as for whether you are qualified to inherit the throne, we have to wait until the Church of Knowledge determines this. This is the same whether it is in Marcy or Lundborg, you or Karl.
"
Although Dorothy is the first royal advisor who is not from the Church of Knowledge since the establishment of the Kingdom of Marsi, and her status is higher than that of an ordinary archbishop, the Church of Knowledge is the one who truly rules the countries of Marsi, Lemberg, Sehgal and other countries.
exist.
Every king must be recognized by the church and crowned by the pope himself, and the same applies to the successor to the throne.
As for Rawls, it was even more special. When Dorothy told King Orff that his daughter Madeline appeared in Backlund and gave birth to a child after she disappeared. Orff couldn't believe it at all.
, even after the relationship between the two is confirmed through a ceremony.
But Madeleine's mysterious disappearance and the sudden appearance of the heir made the king feel scared. Even without speaking, Dorothy could guess that Orff had doubts about the Church of Knowledge.
According to royal records and Orff’s description, after Madeleine’s disappearance, Albert Mendoza, the Holy Father of the Church of Knowledge, the Sequence 2 angel, personally made a “prophecy”, but there was still no
Get results.
Judging from this result, the person who took Madeleine away is either more powerful than this "cherubi", or the Church of Knowledge cooperated in this matter. If it is the former, who dares to take such a big risk to take her away?
What about the crown prince of a small country?
But no matter which result it is, Dorothy has only one suggestion, which is to confirm the identity of the Rawls royal family, but the crown prince needs to be recognized by the Church of Knowledge.
No matter what secret is hidden behind this, the Knowledge Church, one of the seven major churches, must make a decision, and the consequences will naturally be borne by them.
King Orf Gonzalez adopted this suggestion and summoned the Archbishop of the Church of Knowledge in Winston Diocese to inform him of the matter. However, a month later, the church still did not give a reply.
"Who else knows this news besides the king?"
"I don't know if Archbishop Bernhard of the Church of Knowledge in Winston Diocese, Pope Albert Mendoza, and other church leaders know about it."
Dorothy suggested that the king conceal the matter from other royal members and wait until the final opinion of the Church of Knowledge comes out before deciding whether to reveal Rawls' existence.
Does the Church of Knowledge already know about it? Dorothy and the king will definitely not hide this news for too long. Then the Church of Knowledge has received the news for at least more than a month and has not yet given its final opinion? What is the Pope thinking...
Rawls twirled his fingers. The attitude of the Knowledge Church is the most important.
Although he was sure that there must be something written by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, this did not mean that she would take the initiative to tell the Pope about it. It was not impossible to delay it for a while. After all, the Seven Gods and the Seven Gods Church did not work together at some point.
Not necessarily equivalent.
"Count, has your delegation already set off?"
If there is no departure, the possibility of giving an attitude before departure is still very high.
"Not yet. After the king learned about the heavy smog in Backlund, he asked me to take a look first. The visiting delegation will not leave in three days."
The distance between Winston and Backlund is nothing to a demigod. Even a demigod who is not good at traveling through the spirit world can get there in only half a day.
"In addition to visiting the mission and confirming your situation in Loen, the king has given me a mission. He hopes that I can bring back the body or ashes of your mother Madeleine."
"This is impossible."
Rawls shook his head. Although Madeleine did not exist in his memory, she was the mother of his body after all, and she had been dead for twenty-three years. Now she was buried with his father Mason. He would not allow it.
Things like this happen.
"This is related to His Majesty's attitude towards you."
As a great scholar in medicine who also created a stone golem like Romit with human thinking, Dorothy didn't care much about ethics. She also wanted to use this opportunity to study what happened to Madeleine.
What. In her opinion, what Rawls or the force behind him cares about most is naturally the throne of the Kingdom of Marsi.
"No, you should know that neither I nor His Majesty the King have any decision-making power in this matter. Only the Holy See of the Church of Knowledge can decide all this."
Although Rawls didn't know Dorothy's thoughts, he was influenced by his past life thinking and paid more attention to this aspect. He pointed to the dress he had not yet taken off and sighed:
"Moreover, I am still Viscount Derian of the Kingdom of Loen. This is something that has not happened before. Even if the Church of Knowledge recognizes my identity, what will happen to this title?"
In the Northern Continent, it is normal for a nobleman to have different titles. In addition to the Duke of Dixi, Philip also has an earl title and two viscount titles.
There are honorary titles, no formal fiefdoms, and titles inherited from other families.
For example, if a noble's aunt marries an earl, but after the earl's death there are no heirs and no male of the same clan inherits the title, then the noble may inherit the earl title and property with the permission of the royal family.
But this situation rarely occurs, and there will never be a situation like Rawls's first becoming a viscount of one country, and then directly jumping to the top three heirs of another country.
In fact, when Dorothy "predicted" that Rawls would inherit the title, she was a little confused. This situation had never happened in her known history. A country ranked among the top three, maybe even the first.
How could the heir first become a noble of another country?
"Why did the Negan family make you a viscount?"
"I only found out about this a few days ago. According to Philip, it was to prove the power of the Negan family." Rawls shrugged, "Before you give the news, I can't give up.
There is no reason to decline this title."
"So, is this 'Law Master' the power of the Negan family?"
Dorothy looked at Alicia, who had been standing in the corner and listened silently. She initially thought that this demigod was from the organization that took away the crown prince Madeleine, but she could get the news from her son Jamil and through
Judging from the "prophecy", this does not seem to be the case.
But she also doesn’t believe that Alicia is from the Negan family. Even Duke Negan would not be protected by a demigod, otherwise he would not be assassinated. An organization that can dispatch a demigod at will, at least
We must also stand side by side with the seven major churches and the royal families of various countries.
In Loen, the only one with such power and such ideas is the Augustus family.
The Kingdom of Marsi is located at the junction of Feneport and Loen. It is the product of the "Oath-Breaking War" six hundred years ago, and it is also a place that Augustus wants to occupy.
"Even if there are demigods in the Negan family, they can't be sent to protect me. As for Alicia..." Rawls lengthened his voice, and finally shook his head and said, "I can't tell you yet. We have to wait until the Church of Knowledge
I will tell you my clear attitude even after I go to Lemburg in person to meet His Majesty Mendoza."
In fact, he was really hesitating to tell Dorothy just now that Alicia was from the Tamara family, but he still chose to give up. The matter was still too involved. Although the "prophet" in front of him did not come from knowledge
Church, but no one can deny her relationship with the Church of Knowledge. Once revealed, the news will probably spread to Lundberg very soon.
When the knowledge church "vacillates", it is better not to add weight to your opponent.
"That's fine."
Since Rawls even had the courage to meet the Pope of the Church of Knowledge, Dorothy had no choice but to give up questioning. In front of a Pope who is famous for his wisdom, it is difficult to hide the secret of the earth.
After the serious talk, both of them relaxed a lot and started chatting.
This was the first official meeting between the two. If Rawls had not seen the photos sent by the Tamara tribe from the Kingdom of Masi before, he might not have recognized this "prophet" at all.
"Although you have my reasons for visiting Loen this time, it will last for three months. What do you plan to exchange with Mr. Portland Mormont?"
The Portland Momont mentioned by Rawls is an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Loon. At the request of the Higher Education Commission, he became the president of the reorganized Backlund University of Technology and Technology. He is also a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery, and a
A "craftsman" in Sequence 7, a great scientist who has won the "Light of Machinery" award and earned hundreds of thousands of pounds from his patents.
Of course, these are not very important. What is important is that this scientist will become Melissa Moretti's mentor in the future and guide her on the path to being an extraordinary person.
"It's some mechanical issues. This is the only area where his and I's research overlaps. However, the exchanges between us are not very important. They are mainly exchanges between schools. Although because of the knowledge church, Lundborg and Ma Xi
, Sehgal is a holy land of knowledge, but in terms of mechanics, it is far inferior to Loen and Intis, which do not have the Church of Steam, and we also lack the means to turn scholarship into profit."
Although she said this, Dorothy knew that this was not just because of lack of means, but because the strength of the country was different. As a small country, having too advanced technology would also attract prying eyes. Even if there is a knowledge church, as long as it is
If the four countries use the same caliber, it will be of little use.
"Mechanically? Backlund seems to have had a manuscript about the third-generation difference engine by Turani von Hermoshuen before."
"This will not appear in our communication. It is impossible to show me that manuscript, and even if it is read, it will be of little use to us."
Dorothy obviously became interested and began to explain the principles and functions of the difference engine to Rawls, which made him suddenly feel that his brain was not enough.
"...So, neither Lunberg nor our Maxi can make gears with extremely high precision. Only Loen or Intis can make them. This kind of machine is just a calculation machine. Any one'
Knowledge keepers' or 'reasoning students' can do this...
In contrast, only extraordinary people, or humans, and even all living creatures are the most magical, possessing unlimited potential. Instead of just making a cumbersome machine that will not last long, it is better to make a machine with this kind of talent.
creatures, allowing this talent to be stably inherited among them..."
Are you trying to build a biological computer or a robot? Why don't you talk to Frank? Maybe you two have something in common... Rawls rubbed his sore temples, trying to find a suitable excuse to interrupt this creature.
The eloquence of scholars.
But after thinking about it, apart from introducing Frank or "Bell Ringer" Kano to her, there was nothing that could attract her attention... No, the things Hermoshuin left in Backlund would also do.
