Chapter 665
"Well, wouldn't it be nice to sit down and eat melon?" Dak said in a relaxed manner.
Arvette always habitually puts more burdens on her shoulders.
The same goes for this "Devil King's Execution Ceremony".
Since the "Demon King's Execution Ceremony" was initiated by the Holy Religion, the chaos caused by people from all over the world pouring into the royal capital should have been handled by the Holy Religion.
But in fact, the order of the entire royal capital is controlled and governed by Arvite.
The Holy Church did not even disclose the ritual matters to the serving staff in the church, let alone send people to maintain order.
Under normal circumstances, both parties should work together.
Dak then said: "Now that the big things have been talked about, the next step is the small things. Do you remember the Knowledge Cult?"
"Of course." Arvette said, "We even arrested six of their elders yesterday."
Duck asked curiously: "How long are you going to be detained for?"
Arvette smiled and said: "I know Aaron Reeds and Aviva Julius have come to find you. But they didn't commit any major crime originally. According to the original plan, they can be released after today. ”
Dak was surprised: "So fast?"
Claire interjected: "What they sacrifice is neither evil gods nor demons, but just some academically accomplished great men. To be honest, I would rather see this kind of worship of great men than belief in any god."
Arvite also nodded and said: "If it weren't for the special time period, we wouldn't have arrested them. You know, the Holy Cult definitely summoned the Gate of the Underworld today. We just want to avoid the possibility of this happening. comprehensive response.”
Dak couldn't help but smacked his lips. If Aaron Reedus and Aviva Julius knew what they wanted, they didn't need it in the first place, and there's no telling how they would react?
"But the person who reported them to us needs to pay attention." Arvette thought again.
Dak said: "I heard from Aaron Reeds and Aviva Julius that the person who reported them may be the Thirteenth Elder of the Cult of Knowledge!"
"Internal struggle?" Arvite frowned, "But the one who came to report was just a local homeless man, who should be paid to do things."
Claire said: "In short, that person probably knew from the beginning that the Holy Cult would summon the Gate of the Underworld today. This is not information that ordinary people can infer."
Arvette said: "Let Chris check it carefully. Is there anything else?"
Dak thought for a moment and smiled: "It's gone for now."
"Then go and have a good rest." Arvette said harmoniously, "Don't worry too much, your Aunt Claire and I will take care of everything."
Duck: "Yeah!"
…
Duck left the restaurant before the two of them finished their dinner, then wandered in the corridor for a while before returning to the bedroom.
But as soon as he entered the room, he found Eve and Irene waiting inside.
"Good evening, Master." Eve said, stroking her chest.
Erin also bowed slightly behind her.
Dak looked at Erin and said, "Good evening, you two. What part of the information is it about?"
Erin handed him the information she held in her arms and said, "It's about Ms. Hephis Doragon."
"Well." Dak took the information, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "It's been a tiring day today, so you should take a rest. Wait, the people who were following Aaron Reeds and Aviva Julius before , is there any news?"
Eve blinked and said, "The two old men locked themselves in the room after returning. First they took a nap, and then they began to study the questions given by the young master."
Duck asked: "Isn't anyone giving them trouble?"
Eve shook her head: "No."
"Is that so?"
Duck couldn't help but think.
The Thirteenth Elder of the Cult of Knowledge is indeed suspicious, but what he did to report was actually a "correct act", and there is no theoretical position to pursue him.
Just thinking about this gave him a headache.
In this world, most things are not black and white.
It is basically impossible to simply diagnose the error.
…
After Eve and Erin left, he picked up the information of his senior's mother and looked through it.
The intelligence gathering ability of the Duke's Palace is indeed very strong. This information is enough for him to have a clear understanding of the person (dragon) Hephis Doragon.
Hephis Doragon is a pure white dragon.
The so-called "white dragon" is simply a dragon species with light attributes.
What distinguishes pure-blood dragons from most non-human species is that they have a high degree of intelligence equivalent to humans, and their adaptability to magic is very high.
Most pure-blood dragons can master "advanced transformation magic" before reaching adulthood.
Not only does this allow them to make their huge bodies smaller, but they can also transform into humans!
Being able to "turn into a human" is the key point for the intersection between pure-blood dragons and humans.
Hephis Doragon was once a dragon serving the Holy Cult.
The "service" here does not mean "slavery" or "loyalty", but "getting paid to do things."
Dragons love gold and gems, and the Holy Cult is rich.
In the later stages of the war, the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan were completely at odds with each other, and joining the human army became the general trend.
However, it is not easy to own a dragon as a mount.
The pride of pure-blooded dragons is like their greed for gold, which is engraved in their bones and flows in their blood.
Only the most handsome, noble, and powerful humans are allowed to become their knights.
Therefore, most pure-blooded dragon knights have noble blood, handsome or beautiful appearance, and top strength among humans, which is even more demanding than selecting national idols.
Such people do exist in the Holy Church.
But Hephis Dragon is a white dragon.
As a dragon of light attribute, her popularity in the Holy Church is of course much higher than that of other attributes.
And to become her dragon knight, in addition to being handsome, noble, and powerful, you must also be friendly with the light attribute.
There are not many people who meet the first three conditions.
Add the fourth condition...
Generally, as long as there is no other problem, such people will be given a title - the Son of God!
In other words, Hephis Dragon's knight is a Son of God.
Son of God + Pure-blooded White Dragon = Holy Dragon Knight;
The name of "Holy Dragon Knight" Roland Patricis once resounded throughout the battlefield, becoming a Holy Church hero no less than "Joan of Arc".
Until the dragon and the knight got pregnant.
"Ah this--"
When he turned to this point, Dak could almost imagine the face of the Pope.
You should know that the Holy Church is a staunch human pure-blood advocate.
They oppose all foreign races and foreign hybrids, and have deep-rooted discrimination against sub-human races, believing that sub-human races are inferior species that are only worthy of crawling at the feet of humans.
Roland Patricis's behavior is simply stabbing the Holy Church in the back.
During the war, His Holiness the Pope "endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens" for the sake of the overall situation and did not operate on him on the spot.
But Hephes Dragon's strength was greatly reduced after pregnancy, and he could not even go to the battlefield when he was about to give birth, and the "Holy Dragon Knight" no longer existed.
Without his dragon, the dragon knight Roland Patricis eventually fell under the fire of the demons who hated him so much.
Once the knight died, there was no need to continue to accommodate the mount.
In addition, the war situation at that time had tilted towards humans, and the combat power of such a white dragon was no longer scarce.
Therefore, according to the dogma, Hephis was sent to Bastia Prison.
And her child with the Holy Son Roland was thrown into the Forest of Exile.
…
After reading the entire information, Dak felt exhausted as if he had watched a bloody family drama at 8 o'clock in the evening.
"Should we blame the cold and cruel Holy Church, or should we blame the Holy Son Roland for not being able to control Dio?"
Dak reorganized the information and decided to temporarily seal this part of the memory.
He didn't think that Pandora would not ask about her life experience after reuniting with Hephis.
But when watching the "Demon King Execution Ceremony" today, he didn't see her and Hephis glaring at the Pope.
If you guess a little bit,
It may be because the Holy Son Roland died gloriously in battle, not assassinated by the Holy Church.
It may also be because Hephis did not suffer in Bastia Prison.
Just like the Blood Princess Ophelia Brad, she was also one of the preferential treatments in Bastia Prison.
Basically, except for losing her freedom, the jailer will meet most of her requests.
Or maybe the senior sister just thinks more open-mindedly and studies "Looking to the Future" more thoroughly.
In short, this is all their family affairs.
Since it is confirmed that Hephis Doragon is not a dangerous person, Dak is not going to pay attention to it anymore.
The only question is, why does the surname Patricis sound so familiar?
As Dak thought about it, his expression suddenly froze, and his hand holding the information trembled.
Patricis, isn't it the surname of the contemporary pope? ?
...
Of course, Pope Sis Saint Patricis was still a young man in his thirties fifteen years ago, and it is impossible for him to have a son in his twenties.
I can only say that the surname Patricis is indeed noble enough.
If Senior Pandora wanted to, she might be able to pull out a long list of relatives at once.
Of course, she couldn't think of it.
And a theocratic family that strictly abides by dogma would not accept mixed-bloods.
This can be seen from the fact that no one cared about Pandora after she was thrown into the Forest of Exile.
"Fortunately, I am the dogma in the Dimon family."
Dak shook his head slightly, then put away the information, got up and picked up the scattered magic elves, and threw them back to the bed one by one.
Then he went to bed and soon welcomed the next day.
...
On this day after the "Demon King Execution Ceremony", Alvette and Claire returned to normal at least at breakfast time.
At one of the two tables in the restaurant, the magic elves handled the food on the plate a little uneasily, like candidates waiting for execution.
At the other table, the two guests of the Duke's Mansion also had a meal with the host for the first time.
Pandora was rarely a little restrained.
She changed into a dress she had bought in the city the day before. Her bangs were neatly combed, and her long black hair was tied up with ribbons on both sides, vertically on both sides of her ears.
This rare dress made her look a little younger.
Her eyebrows and lips were also decorated with the help of the maid.
After seeing her, Dake asked her in surprise which princess's banquet she was going to attend, and she said she was going to the battlefield.
Aurora, who happened to hear this, was stunned for a moment, then hurried back to the bedroom and changed out of her home clothes.
The Duke's Mansion was filled with the smell of gunpowder from the morning.
