The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 55, The Thirteenth Carolingian Knight

PS. If you have nothing to do, you can join the group to chat. I often communicate in the group. The group number is in the introduction.

This old woman is teaching these children arithmetic.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, he was surprised by what this old woman did.

This world is not the ancient Celestial Dynasty. In the ancient Celestial Dynasty, due to the imperial examination system, there were a large number of private schools and public schools. Even civilians would have the opportunity to study. This is because the imperial examination was the only channel for class advancement provided by feudal monarchs. Common people would Try to make the most of this opportunity.

But the background of the Middle Ages was different. In the world of lords and nobles, knowledge was a valuable wealth, and civilians basically had no chance to access this wealth.

As a low-level noble, Ryan knew very well that of course nobles studied, but nobles always studied behind closed doors by themselves. It was almost impossible for commoners to study in a college like nobles. It's hard to get their turn.

In addition, there are two ways to study.

The first is the church. The pastor of the church will teach the children to read. However, when they study with the church, most of what the children learn is theological knowledge. Depending on the specific situation and the cultural level of the pastor of the church, the children who are taught will be different. Levels vary, and for the same reason, if a child is found to have magical talent, he will also be taken away by the Gloria Council or the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy, and will also have the opportunity to study.

No matter which one it is, it requires a high tuition fee, which ordinary peasant families generally cannot afford.

The second item is more complicated. To give a brief introduction, it is to become a disciple (godfather).

Therefore, even if the vast majority of civilians live a lifetime, they can only recognize a few words at most. If a civilian can read and write a few hundred words, and can simply add, subtract, multiply and divide, then he can already be the leader of these civilians. When you are old, you become a respected elder.

But this also has advantages. With such simple thoughts, civilians are less likely to be corrupted by Chaos.

“A foolish mind is more easily filled with loyalty and faith.”

——Jean-Richard "Tiger" Dinoa, King of the Knights of Britannia

And this old woman is actually teaching arithmetic to this large group of children? Also invented the use of small wooden sticks to assist teaching? This cannot help but arouse Ryan's favor and attention. Being able to do this shows that this old woman has a good background.

A short small class was over. The children asked questions enthusiastically, and the old woman answered them without hesitation. Looking at the happy smiling faces of the children, the old woman couldn't help but smile on her wrinkled face. She was gray. Her hair was blowing freely in the morning sea breeze, as if there was something that made her happy.

Looking at the young faces of the children, eager for knowledge, Ryan didn't know what to say. As a Chinese, he used to hate reading, hate learning, didn't want to go to school, and regarded school as a scourge.

It was only after he came to this world that he realized how valuable it was to have the opportunity to learn. Most civilians would spend their lives in ignorance and blindness.

That's really scary.

At the same time, Ryan also felt as if there was a big stone stuck in his heart. It was very uncomfortable. There were too many things weighing on him. He knew too much, but there was no one to talk to. How he wished he could have a brother of his own and himself. Have a good chat.

Impossible, his brothers are either missing, dead, or have been thrown into Chaos, and he has no one to communicate with.

As for his father... Ryan shook his head in pain. Every time he received a dream from his father, he was in pain.

Because communicating with his father is a difficult and painful thing. They may not have any affection for each other. Some of them just use and be used. His father has high expectations for him. Sometimes he doesn’t know how to face this kind of relationship. Expectation, in fact, his father may not completely regard him as a sword, but Ryan knows that he must have the consciousness to become a sword, because he is too weak now.

He is not yet qualified to be a chess player.

Just when Ryan was thinking wildly, Theresa gently patted his shoulder: "Lian?"

"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Ryan quickly recovered. Seeing the sorceress's concerned eyes, Ryan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want to stand here with me? Then you can go somewhere else for a stroll first."

"That's not true. I'm your partner. I won't listen to your orders, but I won't abandon my partner and leave alone." Theresa seemed to have suddenly accomplished something amazing in just a few minutes. She smiled maturely in front of Ryan's eyes, then stretched out her index finger to push up her glasses: "So, did our Mr. White Wolf Knight learn anything in the children's math class?"

After saying that, she took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and hold Ryan's left hand: "Promise me, Ryan, can we face the future together?"

"Stop losing your eldest temper?" Ryan chuckled.

"I have never been qualified to lose my temper at you. It's because I think too highly of myself." The sorceress shook her head gently, and her dazzling long black hair shook Ryan's sight: "If I can prove that I am worthy, I won’t lose my temper with you again until I become your partner.”

"Then after you prove yourself, will you still lose your temper at me?" Who knew that Ryan would not accept this at all, and the White Wolf Knight's tone was very cold: "Have you ever regarded me as your partner? Or did you call me A guard who comes and goes as soon as possible, or a bodyguard hired for money?"

"Do you know why your Jialan is not as popular among the nobles as the Empire's Royal Wizarding Academy?" Ryan turned around and looked directly at the sorceress's silver pupils with his blue eyes: "Because you don't know how to respect and have no life. When you come down to it, you are humble. Charlemagne herded cattle and cut wheat when he was a child. His Majesty Ludwig also worked in the fields himself when he was young. I was once a weak little kid who fought with wild dogs on the roadside for a piece of fruit. Life or death, do you think that all men are worthy of your respect only after they have proven themselves in front of you?"

"So all the people in your eyes must first be labeled as 'useless' and looked down upon by you? Do you know why Velarde has such a bad attitude towards you? It's because he was raped when he was young. You Garland MPs despised it.”

"..." The sorceress wanted to refute. After all, she had received that kind of education since she was a child. But looking at Ryan's cold eyes, she knew that if she refuted now, not only would there be no more existence between herself and Ryan Friendship, I’m afraid I can’t even become a partner.

When she thought that she would be strangers to Ryan in the future, Teresa suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

No, don’t do this!

The fierce collision of thoughts caused the sorceress to close her eyes in pain. Her thinking was extremely chaotic, and golden-red magic and blue magic radiated out uncontrollably.

The light blue spiritual energy gathered in Ryan's hand immediately shattered the magic spread from Theresa. The man just stood there, quietly watching the woman make a painful decision.

A change of mind does not happen overnight, but Ryan has opened a gap in Teresa's solid thinking, and now it's up to her to decide.

Is it always in a cover? Or should you open your eyes and understand the different world outside?

Five minutes later, Teresa opened her eyes tiredly. She covered her head and was a little unsteady on her feet. She was not only an ice warlock, but also a psychic warlock. If her thinking was not controlled well, it could easily cause harm to herself. harm.

Upon seeing this, Ryan pulled her into his arms, hugged her gently, patted her back, and then let her go: "Have you thought about it? Tell me the answer."

Teresa's eyes seemed to be able to speak. The woman's eyes rolled around the White Wolf Knight, and finally nodded: "I understand your suggestion. I will try to broaden my horizons, and I will try to treat him as an equal. everyone."

"Very good~" Ryan finally nodded with satisfaction.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Teresa has amazing talent and rich knowledge. As long as she takes this step and is willing to lower her stature, her future is still worth looking forward to.

"Then you can take me around for the next few days~" The sorceress took the initiative to put her small hand in Ryan's big hand: "I need your guidance."

"We can't talk about guidance, but as long as you like it, of course I am willing to have a beautiful lady act with me. This always keeps me in a happy mood." Ryan nodded.

The woman was about to say something, but the man had already focused his attention on the old woman.

This old woman was very good at cultivating Qi. A knight and a witch stood nearby and watched. She spoke in an unhurried manner. The children were a little nervous under the gaze of the nobles. The old woman still took the trouble to explain again and again until until all the children understand.

The class ended with the crowd watching. One of the younger children began to pester the old woman and asked her to tell a story: "Grandma Nora, tell us a story!"

"Yes, tell us a story!" The children pestered the old woman and asked her to tell her a story.

The old woman was helpless by the children, so she told a story: "Then today I will tell you a story about Charlemagne more than a thousand years ago!"

"A long, long time ago, at that time, there were changes in the world, wild beasts and monsters were rampant, and humans were very weak and could only become food for monsters. There were only a few places where some people gathered and formed tribes. Barely maintaining his rule..."

The old woman was telling the most famous story of Charlemagne. This story was very popular on the mainland and everyone was familiar with it. Teresa was a little impatient when she saw this, but Ryan held her hand and motioned for the two of them to listen to the story together. over.

Her little hand was held by the man, and the sorceress glared at the man angrily. The female members of Gloria always have their own rules and ways of doing things. If something happens today, she will never stay to listen to the story.

"Twelve Carolingian knights have returned to Charlemagne's account. They are the greatest knight Roland, the barbarian Leonardo of Monteban! Archbishop Tobin of the Church of Justice! The magician Malaguiji! Ogier, blessed by the fairies! Alstorfo, the handsome man who is brave and good at fighting~ And that..." Old lady Nora kindly read out the names of the twelve Carolingian knights, and the children listened with fascination. With a look of yearning: "In order to reward the twelve Carolingian knights who followed him to build his empire, Charlemagne found the High King of the Dwarves, his best friend Kazhadni! The iron furnaces of the dwarf friends kept working day and night. , it took several years to create the best materials! That is the Holy Sword! Every Holy Sword exudes dazzling divine light!"

This is the origin of the Holy Sword of the Imperial Elector, Ryan thought in his mind.

After Charlemagne unified the empire, he asked his friend the dwarf High King Kazadeni to build weapons. So the dwarves used all their talents and efforts to create thirteen holy swords. These magical weapons were defeated by Charlemagne. After the Chaos Army abdicated and disappeared, it became the status symbol of the emperor and the electors. However, after more than a thousand years of inheritance, the thirteen holy swords of the past except the current emperor Karl-Franz Friedrich Except for the "Golden Sword" Jiavaius in his hand, only four are still in the hands of the imperial electors, and the rest have been lost.

However, Karl Franz generally does not use this golden sword. He usually uses the treasure given to humans by the dwarves and the symbol of the Human Emperor, the war hammer "Skull Crusher" Gael Maraz.

Whoever uses the dwarf warhammer knows it and agrees to it after using it.

"In addition to these twelve Carolingian knights, children, listen to me, in fact, there is another Carolingian knight who is also within Charlemagne's plan!" Granny Nora continued: "Charlemagne Wisely foresaw that one day, good will prevail over evil. One day, evil will come back again. When mankind is no longer able to resist the invasion of evil, when the world will be swallowed by darkness, the thirteenth Carolingian Knight will Come to the world holding the fourteenth holy sword 'Nemesis'! Bring light and power to this world again!"

This is the most interesting part of this story. There are many versions of the legend of Charlemagne. No matter which version it is, it is pointed out that in addition to the twelve Carolingian knights who followed Charlemagne to found the country, there was also a thirteenth Carolingian knight. The Cavaliers, the "future Carolingian Knights", existed.

"Do you believe this story? I don't see that you are an idealist. Do you really place your hope on the so-called Thirteenth Carolingian Knight to save the world?" Teresa found that Ryan was faintly in a trance, and she felt angry. Funny again.

"Then do you believe it?" Ryan asked.

"...Believe it, but don't believe it." Teresa shook her head: "In fact, our internal data in Jialan does show that there is a thirteenth Carolingian knight, and there is indeed a fourteenth holy sword. , this is certain, as many gods witnessed the 'Nemesis' being hurled into the warp by Charlemagne."

"However, during the great Holy War a hundred and fifty years ago, people never waited for the arrival of this mysterious knight. His Majesty the Savior Ludwig was proven to be not the thirteenth Carolingian Knight because he belonged to the Empire. The emperor's holy sword, the 'Golden Sword', was proved to be his sword." The sorceress combined her own opinions and gave a conclusion: "Despite this, the vast majority of the empire and nobles still believe that, When humanity faces its final crisis, the Thirteenth Carolingian Knight will emerge to save the world."

"So, after saying so much, Ryan, do you believe this story?" the sorceress asked casually.

"I believe it, I have always believed it."

The man's eyes were deep and he looked firmly into the distance.

If I don't believe in myself, who can I believe in?
