The Amber Sword

Indeed, it is not easy, and Brando knows that this meeting of nobility is more of a last resort for leverage than a negotiation, and none of the participants are the peak of Eruin's power. Six Dukes of Anlek, Sifah, Korkova, Vieiro, Karasou, Goran-Elson, two Marquises - Lord of Swordburg, Marquis Barta, Commander of the White Lion Corps, and the King's cousin, Marquis Eussi, as well as five privileged Earls, together with two priestly priests of the Temple and a number of prominent figures of Ambethel's chambers of commerce - would probably be difficult to succeed without a full wrist.

Fortunately, however, this is not the time, and the nobles will not start a new round until next week, so Brando has time. He entrusted the matter to Sue because he had more important things to do. After he settled the young men of the White Lion Corps, he took the light car from Jane and took Antina and Sy and rented a carriage to the inner city.

The end point for the carriage was the Grand Temple of Underflor in the city, built in 227 in the first century and more than a hundred years old, built at the expense of businessmen in the city and completed at the hands of architect Rognin, Ambessel's most famous art treasure. The palace as a whole is oval, with countless pillars extending outside the sidewalls, and the pointed arched gate on the front symbolizes the majesty and supremacy of the divine power. Pilgrims walk gradually on the one hundred and twenty steps, in front of a huge fountain square, the momentum is natural.

The plaza in front of the temple is off-limits, and Antina and Sy stepped out of the carriage and saw the majestic temple whispering - no wonder nobles or civilians - that anyone from the south, called a hillbilly by the locals of Ambesseur, saw the temple without staring. This is the only place where Eruin can be converted to the Knight of the Holy See. Eruin's Temple of Fire has two ranks of Knights, and the Knight of the Temple is a seal that gives privileges to the powerful who cross the walls of the elements, and the Knight of the Holy See is a true profession.

Earlier, the Holy Knight was a monk soldier of the Temple, but later it was also open to noble children. To advance to the profession, the player had to satisfy two conditions. First, he was born innocent, and second, he had to admire the spirit of the Fire King. The latter was simple, as long as the religious knowledge (Cruz) reached level 10, while the former was more troublesome, and he needed to get an introduction letter from the head of the nobility.

And the letter in Brando's hand was sent in the name of Eruin's scholarly master, Tullaman. After the wolf disaster, Brando asked him to write a letter of introduction or something simple. Besides, he had long had the intention of working as a part-time chaplain knight, and naturally he would not let go of this opportunity. Speaking of which, this is the second letter of introduction that Turaman wrote to him, and the old man laughed that Brando, the sly little fox, would have done him no good, apparently to remind himself that he had not forgotten the little thing he had cheated on him the last time.

Brando had to pay only one smile for it, and he couldn't help it at the time, not to mention seriously, he wasn't really lying. It's just that Brando doesn't want to disturb history prematurely, so it's not a good idea to go into detail.

Brando gave the letter of introduction to the guard of the Temple Gate - none of the men who could be knights of the ceremonial battle outside the main entrance of the Temple of Underflor were simple, most of them were of noble origin and had a certain background, so the guard immediately recognized that the silver note in his hands came from an extraordinary origin, and he dared not be lazy, and immediately after questioning Brando's intentions, introduced Brando to the rear temple to sacrifice the places where the people rest.

If it were an ordinary person, the temple guard would naturally not be like this, but Brando wore a red-haired ponytail girl in a tuxedo and a noble girl in a long black dress, Antina, whose high-ranking warrior scent could not be disguised, while the latter, at first glance, was a high-ranking bureaucrat whose temperament could be tampered with, not to mention Brando's spiritual appearance today, coupled with the gold-class scent, naturally gave the illusion of a high-ranking man.

That's why Brando took Sy and Antitina alone. At first sight, the Templar Guard mistakenly thought of Brando as a descendant of a great nobleman. He had psychologically believed in three points, and with that silver letterhead stamped with a personal emblem, he dared not doubt it.

The Grand Temple of Andefoule is divided into two parts, one front and the other back, and the general population enters the temple for worship, stopping at most at the main temple in front. But Brando is also familiar with the second half of the temple, like where he is now, which is actually a training area for knights in the temple, divided into boarding areas, three halls for training, and a meditation room, where he is now in a conversion meditation room.

The conversion steps for the Holy Knight are actually simple, simply by offering holy water to the occupant via an experienced cleric. Particularly, however, the Knights of the Sacred Church receive several blessed grades at the beginning of their transition. Generally speaking, the higher the rank of the clergy of salute, the higher the rank of blessings received. The rank of blessings is in fact the free rank, which, for the First Nations, equates to a high and low power upon transfer.

This is tempting for ordinary people, so many nobles pay heavily to bribe the Temple in the hope that their sons will receive a priestly gift of higher status. Of course, the general salute is usually a second-degree cleric, and the two vicar priesthood priests of the Diocese of Ambesseur are honored, even though they know that their subordinates receive bribes, once they do not participate in the confluence.

The guard found Brando an elderly priest. Brando couldn't help but see the red side of the priest's white robe and jump. The old man was also a high-ranking cleric, second only to regional priests such as Amman and Wood, but also a status honorable existence. Truly, Tulaman's face was big enough, even the temple had to sell his affection.

He saw the guard say a few words in the ear of the elderly sacrifice, presumably also describing his identity and origin. The elderly sacrificial eye revealed an uncertain look. Brando was well aware of the steps in this, hurriedly handed over his introductory letter. After the elderly priest checked the letterhead, only caution remained in his eyes.

In fact, Touraman's own brightness is too striking for anyone to know that he once held the post of Leewoods now, and although his name has rarely appeared in the aristocratic circle of Eruin since he left the post of the head of the Royal Library in Prague and handed over the position of chief court magistrate, his name is definitely ringing in this circle.

Though born in Eruin, Tulaman is actually Buga, and anyone knows that.

All four wise men were blessed by the Bukas, and now the wizards of Buga can be superior, not only because they are the people of silver, but also because they have never been involved in the dispute over the four temples, all of which are in awe of this neutral organization.

“What does Your Excellency have to do with Master Tulaman?” After all, the elderly priest is more stable, Tulaman has been in hiding for many years, and now suddenly someone is holding his letter to convert him to the Holy Knight. Of course, he checked the letter himself, but the details still have to be asked.

“I had nothing to do with the master, but he had a little connection with my family in the early years.” Brando tried to be ambiguous, but he knew that no one would go to Tullaman to prove it, and if he did, Tullaman would help him lie.

The elderly priest nodded, the relationship between the nobles was complicated, and many people were reluctant to speak too clearly. When Brando said this, he was almost there. As long as the letter isn't fake, that's enough. Anyway, this young man is just going to change his job. The Knight of the Holy See isn't going to join the Temple.

He put the letter away and replied, "It was Master Tulaman's request that you should have been offered a gift personally, but you didn't come by chance, Lord Priest was on his way out. Why don't you wait a while? ”

As soon as the elderly priest opened his mouth, Brando saw the temple guard next to him turn strange. At the top of the list, Martha, the countless faces of Ambethel wanted to pay whatever price for their children's offerings, but everyone knew that it was impossible, not just to acquire power, but a privilege. The Lord of the Priesthood had served only one man for 10 years, at the request of Obergu VII, in order to improve the relationship between the Temple and Eruin, and the man who had been given the gift was now the leader of the White Lion Corps, a congregation territory.

Thinking about it, the Temple Guard couldn't help but stare at Brando, as if to see what was different about this young man.

But Brando's heart is not good. He just came here to change the Knight of the Sacred Church. It's not some other hall of fame. In his opinion, the smaller the wind wave, the better. He doesn't care about the free grades anyway. It's best to find some third-rate cleric to give him a gift. Brando is now a little sorry to have asked Tullaman to write this introduction letter, and if Wood were to give him a gift, he would probably be the front page of the Ambethel aristocratic circle by tomorrow morning, and soon someone would find out exactly who he really is.

Brando doesn't believe in the secrets that the world can truly keep. His advantage now is that he knows my darkness. If the temple is to come this far, he'll probably be able to escape back to Tonigal tomorrow. A regional priest in the Temple Hall saluted a rebel leader, not just him, but even the whole temple of flames and Tulaman himself, and Brando had no idea what a terrible thing that was.

Fortunately, Lord Thomas' blessing that Wood is not here is the only thing that will relieve Brando. He shook his head and replied, “No, I don't need to. I just want the Golden Flame Way (1). It doesn't matter who gave me the gift. ”

Brando said this with great vigour, and the elderly priest couldn't help but nod his head: “Not bad, there are few young people like you now, those nobles... hey, just don't say it, so let me personally preside over the salute for you. ”

Speaking of which, the old man couldn't bear to look at Antina and Sy next to him and ask, "But your servants can't come in with you. How about they wait here? ”

“Of course,” replied Brando.
