The night is dark.
The grand banquet in Ice Rock City finally came to an end.
However, the nobles who have left the banquet have different faces.
Some are excited, some are scared, some are expecting, some are afraid...
Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
The homing pigeons soared from the Ice Rock City and scattered to various parts of the north.
They will send a shocking message out - the eldest son of the Duke of St. Hilde, the Marquis of Charles, under the question of the Marquis of Garcia, announced that he would give up his title!
The title of Charles is imaginary, and there is no corresponding territory.
The meaning it really represents is actually the inheritance right of the Duke of St. Hilde!
Giving up this title means that Charles has given up his inheritance rights.
Of course, strictly speaking, only when the Duke of St. Hilde approves Charles' request, he will be formally deprived of the Marquis position and completely lost the right to inherit the Duke title.
However, what is really intriguing, or even more frightening, is that Charles took the initiative to give up his title under the pressure of his uncle.
Since Charles will not inherit the dukedom of the St. Hilde family, who will inherit it?
Is the second son of the Duke?
Or, the Duke’s brother?
It stands to reason that, as the duke’s younger brother, Marquis Garcia’s inheritance rank is behind the duke’s three sons, and even behind the duke’s adopted daughter Vera.
But now, no one dares to be sure, on who will fall on the title of the St. Hilde family.
And will that golden lion banner become a black lion?
A terrifying storm has quietly approached the northern border of the empire.
Some people rejoiced and tried to take advantage of this opportunity.
Others were worried and frightened by the hidden crisis.
Colin walked quietly on the streets of Ice Rock City, thinking about how the Angele family should deal with themselves in this upcoming storm.
To be honest, he didn't want the Northern Territory to be messed up at this time.
This is not because of how loyal he is to the Duke of St. Hilde or how sympathetic he is to the Marquis of Charles, nor is he worried that Vera will be involved in this turmoil, but he knows very well that if the Northern Territory falls into civil strife at this time, then who will be the biggest beneficiary?
There is no doubt that it will be trolls!
You know, how far the army of 300,000 trolls on the firmament ice field can be withdrawn? Maybe they are staring at the northern territory on the borderline now!
Once the Marquis of Garcia and the Duke of St. Hilde pinch, the trolls will definitely take the opportunity to go south again.
The Northern Territory will surely be overwhelmed!
Colin didn't care about the power struggle of those who were superior, but as a human, he certainly didn't want to see the Northern Territory become a place where trolls raged.
But it is a pity that others' slight remarks cannot change the current situation.
He can only hope that the Duke of the North, who is far away in Wintery City, can retain a trace of reason and make appropriate concessions.
Colin went back to the hotel, removed his armor, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sun was just right.
Although the atmosphere in Ice Rock City was slightly tense, there was no chaos, as if everything last night was just an illusion.
After breakfast, Colin went for a walk and walked the cat by the way.
Of course, Xiao Bai was reluctant to be walked, but Colin just pulled it out.
After the protest was invalidated, the angry Xiao Bai got into Colin's clothes and continued to sleep.
In fact, Colin is not really wandering aimlessly in the streets, his purpose is Glorious Church.
The church of the Glorious Church in Ice Rock City is not far from the west side of the Sudor Family Castle. It is a tall tower built of pure white rock. It seems to be quite high. The pointed top of the tower stands upright, as if to pierce the sky.
Colin now no longer fears the Glorious Church as he did when he first came to this world.
After all, he had already drunk holy water and even advanced because of it.
In fact, when he successfully advanced to become an official knight and was able to stimulate the energy of the Holy Light, Colin already had a guess.
Vampires in this world should not be restrained by the church.
So he grandly walked into the church door.
The guard at the door looked at Colin's gorgeous clothes, and he didn't try to stop him.
In the empty prayer hall, there were no people, only rows of tables and chairs, and the sculpture in the front row.
The sculpture is naturally the image of the Lord of Radiance.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a simple robe, long hair, and shawl, holding a scepter in his right hand, and his left finger pointing forward. The only strange thing is his face.
There are no facial features on it!
According to the church, the reason why the Lord of Radiance has no five senses is because he can be the image of anyone
- an elegant nobleman, a poor commoner, or even a lowly slave.
Colin looked up at the legendary god who protected mankind, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly emerged in his heart.
He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of where this familiar feeling came from.
"Dear knight, is there anything I can help you with?"
Just as Colin was thinking about the sculpture of Lord of Radiance, an old voice suddenly awakened him.
"Hello, dear pastor, please call me Colin."
The muddy eyes of the old priest flickered slightly, and he smiled: "It turns out to be Knight Colin. I have heard of your name."
Colin was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that he was so famous now?
The old pastor seemed to see Colin's doubts and explained with a smile: "Archbishop Revan had been here before and mentioned you to me."
It was then that Colin suddenly realized that he seemed to impress Archbishop Revan very deeply.
It is probably thinking that he drank a whole bottle of pure holy water.
Humph, stingy bishop!
Colin slandered in his heart, but on the surface he looked deeply honored: "It's an honor to think that Archbishop Revan remembers me."
"I don't know if Knight Colin came here, what's the matter?"
"That's it. I actually want to buy some holy water. Next time, I can save myself if I get seriously injured again."
Since the last advancement, Colin has started the idea of church holy water. It is rare to be free at this moment, so he naturally wants to get some holy water to drink.
"It turned out to be so. Then please come with me." The old priest nodded, and led Colin through the prayer hall to the back hall.
In fact, it has long been normal for the church to sell holy water.
Moreover, the price is extremely expensive.
The church not only doesn't feels ashamed of this, but justly argues - "The gifts of the gods need a price."
The two soon came to a cabin in the back hall.
The furnishings in the house are simple, with only a holy water basin the size of a bathtub in the center.
The water in the pool was as smooth as a mirror, glowing with a holy light of milky white.
This is of course holy water, but it is diluted.
Colin resisted the urge to ransack the church and handed the water bag to the old pastor: "Please fill it up for me."
"OK."
"Gudong...Gudong..."
The old priest quickly filled the water bag, and then returned it to Colin: "Knight Colin, there are thirty gold coins in total."
It's dark!
You know, these holy waters are diluted, not the pure holy water that Archbishop Revan originally gave Colin.
As for how many times to dilute it.
According to Colin's understanding, the church's common practice is a thousand times.
Therefore, the true content of all the holy water in the sacred pool of the church in front of him is probably not as good as the small bottle of concentrated water in the hands of Archbishop Revan.
And the holy water of a whole water bag that Colin bought with a huge sum of money now is estimated to be almost diluted by one or two drops of pure holy water.
Colin was in pain for a while, but he had to hand over thirty gold coins to the old priest.
Try it first if it works.
Colin bid farewell to the old priest and left this "black shop".
