Chapter 1269 Demon Hunting in Silent Night (12)
After hearing Chanel's wish, the King of Knights couldn't help but frown.
King Arthur was not ignorant of the deeds of [Madman] Clothier.
The previous generation of King of France, Clovis I, had four legitimate heirs in his life.
In 511 AD, Clovis I died. According to the inheritance tradition of the French, the unified French Kingdom was regarded as the king's private property and was divided among Clovis I's four sons.
The eldest brother Theodoric obtained the territory in Reims and established the Reims dynasty;
The second brother Clodomir divided the territory around Orleans and established the Orleans Dynasty;
The third brother, Hildebert, received territory around Paris and established the Paris dynasty;
Clothier, the youngest son, was assigned the territory of northern Gaul and Belgium, and the lower reaches of the Meuse River. His capital was Soissons, his birthplace, and was known as the Soissons Dynasty in history.
The four brothers each found their own place and established themselves as kings. They should have lived in peace and harmony. However, the ambitious Clotel was not satisfied with the corner of the Soissons Kingdom, but tried to expand the territory.
In 524 AD, Clotier's second brother Clodomir died in the battle against the Burgundians. Clotier took the opportunity to occupy Gondioch, his second sister-in-law, and together with his third brother Hildebell, murdered Clotier.
Of Domir's three sons, only Claude survived.
Clothier also worked with his eldest brother Theodoric and his third brother Hildebert to divide the Kingdom of Orleans, the territory of his second brother Clodomir during his lifetime. Clothier received the most important part of it, including Tours,
Poitiers and other cities, became King of Orleans.
All of this happened between AD 524 and AD 526. In these short two years, the madman Clotier did countless unscrupulous things in order to expand his territory, overtly and covertly.
"Mademoiselle Chanel of Orleans, Mademoiselle Chanel of the Knights of Saint Lily..." King Arthur muttered quietly, seeming to understand something.
"You are right, Mr. Staff." Chanel looked at King Arthur with piercing eyes, her eyes calmly burning with the fire of resentment:
"The Knights of the Holy Lily were originally a knighthood founded by King Clodomir. He gathered us orphans and trained us, making us useless and decent knights to serve the country. Unexpectedly, our benefactor, the great
King Crodomir, he died midway before his great cause was accomplished, and his country, property, and even his wife were taken advantage of by that madman Clotier and was divided up.
What’s worse is that the Knights of the Lily, who swore allegiance to the Orleans Dynasty, had to bow their heads to that bug Clotier. I will definitely ask Clotier to repay this shame one day.”
The King of Knights frowned. Although half of his face was hidden under the mask, the other party could not see his frown.
"But King Crodomir's death in battle was a complete accident." Arthur tried to argue.
"What if I tell you that King Crodomir's death was not an accident?" Chanel said this, she couldn't help but gnashed her teeth with hatred: "It was the villain Clotier who secretly had an affair with the Burgundy people and betrayed Crotier."
Domir's tactical intelligence caused King Crodomir to die in a despicable enemy attack. I have no evidence to prove that Clotier did it, but I know it was him. Everything is a conspiracy, and it was Clotier
By the hands of the Burangdians, his brother was killed! The throne of the Kingdom of Orleans where he sits now is stained with the blood of King Crodomir!"
"Oh." The King of Knights took a deep breath without commenting.
"And all this is just a small part of Clotier's huge plan." The dark elf girl continued: "Look, he won Orleans, and he still won't be satisfied. Next, he will definitely use tricks to harm him.
The eldest brother and the third brother will continue until they occupy all the divided French territory. For the world and for France, this crazy man must be eliminated. Therefore, in order to kill Clotier, I need the Knights of the Round Table no matter what.
help."
"Is that your wish?" King Arthur picked up the cup, took a sip of black tea gracefully, and replied slowly: "But I'm sorry, Miss Chanel. I'm afraid this wish cannot be realized."
"Why?"
"[The Knights of the Round Table Mutual Aid Plan] is not omnipotent. There are some rules that we must abide by. For example, Great Britain is not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries------we cannot send troops to kill King Clottey of Soissons.
you."
"But you are the Knights of the Round Table! You can destroy an army of tens of thousands of people by sending just one Knight of the Round Table?! Why should you have any scruples? Are you still afraid of Clotier?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of Clotier, but that's not how things work." King Arthur said without emotion: "If the [Knights of the Round Table Mutual Aid Plan] can violate the basic knightly rules of Great Britain, then everyone who joins the Knights of the Round Table will
They will all try to abuse the [Mutual Aid Plan] and instruct the Knights of the Round Table to attack other countries. In this way, the world will be in chaos. The Knights of the Round Table are an armed group formed for the purpose of eradicating the [boundless darkness], not assassination
Troops------not an invading army."
"But Clotier is a madman, a tyrant, and a crazy invader------"
"The problem is not who he is." King Arthur interrupted the elf girl: "The problem is that as long as he is the king of a country, Great Britain cannot attack him."
Chanel was silent for a while.
"Okay, I understand." She sighed and said, "I think this is all just a waste of time, right."
"There is one thing that I can't figure out no matter what." King Arthur suddenly asked Chanel: "I have seen your battle. With your skills, it is not difficult to assassinate a person. And I think you, the Holy Lily Knights, must
There are better talents, those who are willing to kill the target at all costs. If you have the conditions to kill Clotier, why don't you do it early, but instead rely on this tactful way to seek assistance from the Knights of the Round Table?"
"You don't understand, Mr. Staff." Chanel took a sip of black tea, leaned back on the sofa, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Because that crazy Clotier, he can't be killed. He has some kind of strange power to protect his body.
, no matter how skillful the killer is, he can't do anything to him. The Knights of the Holy Lily of Orleans, the Knights of the Black Thorns of Paris, and even the Knights of the Deep Blue Rose of Reims, they all failed.
We heard that the knights of the Knights of the Round Table were able to control [gods] --- ahem, just heard --- and we think Clotier was also using something similar to make himself immortal. So.
, the final conclusion reached by the Knights of Holy Lily is that [God] can only be dealt with by [God], and we must rely on the power of the Knights of the Round Table to kill the madman Clottier."
"Very logical, my lady." King Arthur replied half seriously and half jokingly.
"Don't be ridiculous! I'm serious!" Chanel gave King Arthur a dissatisfied look: "I know the secrets of your Knights of the Round Table. I have personally seen Sir Kay use something similar to a god! And the white tiger can also summon it.
God! I know what you can do, don’t think you can deceive me with just a few perfunctory words!"
"Then, my dear lady." The King of Knights replied ambiguously: "If you think that becoming a Knight of the Round Table will give you the power of the so-called [god], please continue to pursue it. Carry out what you firmly believe in, and miracles may happen.
It will happen. When you truly become a Knight of the Round Table and get the power you want, maybe you can really use it to deal with King Clotiel? God knows."
Chanel asked dubiously: "You seemed to have said just now that Great Britain does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs?"
"Oh, of course it is impossible to allow a group action to attack a certain country." King Arthur smiled mischievously: "However, the Knights of the Round Table also have the freedom to act alone, and Great Britain has no right to interfere with the actions of any Knight of the Round Table. That's right.
That is to say, when a Knight of the Round Table acts in his own name, he will not be restricted by national laws and regulations, nor will he be bound by group sects. Only [conscience] can stop him. The Knights of the Round Table are [absolutely free].
"
Chanel looked at King Arthur in disbelief.
"I believe that what needs to be said has been said." The King of Knights stood up from the chair and drank up the black tea: "If you want to continue with your plan, I strongly recommend that you complete this exam. But I can't guarantee it.
Your wish will definitely come true. It is a task that can only be accomplished by your own strength. Even after becoming a Knight of the Round Table, you may still not be able to kill the people you want to kill and achieve the karma you need to achieve. What should you do?
Well, it all depends on your own decision."
King Arthur took a few steps back to the door, ready to leave.
"Do you know?" He added before leaving: "Everything you do may be meaningless. History has its inevitability and is an unstoppable trend. Even if you assassinate and stop Clottey
My king, France will inevitably be reunited by another overlord. Whether it is Clotier, Theodoric, or Hildebell, in the end they are just a code name, a symbol. Tangled
The name of a symbol is as futile as counting the grains of sand on the beach."
"Anyone can be the king of France, but not Clotier." Chanel said stubbornly: "I know very well that he is a devil. If that kind of person becomes the king of France, the country will be ruined."
Turned into a real hell."
"Good night, my dear lady." The King of Knights opened the door and left gracefully: "I wish you a pleasant evening."
