272. The person foreseen by the high priest (1)
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on many ports, reflecting the entire sea into a golden, rippling wave, which was extraordinarily quiet and beautiful.
Ships came from afar, most of them were fishing boats returning from fishing. They were not big, single-masted or double-masted, just like swallows returning to their nests.
Rowling was standing on the docks of many ports, with two men in black robes and a young knight who was half-kneeling on the ground reporting.
“…A week ago, the northern land increased taxes again. It is the seventh time since the first prince came to power. Even so, the barren land in the north is very reluctant to support hundreds of thousands of troops.
If nothing else, this month the eldest prince will raise troops to attack the central or eastern part.
The young knight said respectfully, and Rowling kept a smile on her lips. After listening to him, she said lightly, “Then what did he say?”
The young knight replied: “Your majesty means .
Rowling nodded slightly, and said, “Okay, I understand. Tell your lord, I will be dressed up in many ports to welcome him. 35
“Yes.”
After the 550 young knight said the last sentence, he stood up and respectfully saluted Rowling and the two men in black robes, then turned and left.
Glancing at the distant back of the young knight, one of the two men in black robes said slowly, “Is this the backhand you arranged?
Rowling nodded generously and said, “As the two adults wished, if everything goes well, within two months, the entire Geze will be completely unified and under my control.
The man in black robe snorted coldly, “What if it doesn’t go well?”
Rowling smiled and said, “Those three months are enough.”
“Best so.”
The attitude of the man in black robe was a little dissatisfied.
Rowling didn’t mind at all, but changed the subject and said, “How is my Lusha?”
The man in black robe said lightly: “This kid’s willpower is beyond our expectations, and the process is much smoother than we expected. After ten days, you will be able to see him again, the body of the sanctuary, but…”
The man in black robe paused and said, “…I’m afraid you won’t recognize him by then.
Rowling said casually: “It doesn’t matter, as long as he still recognizes me.”
“Since it’s all right, let’s go first. 35
The two men in black robes bid farewell to Rowling. Rowling nodded, turned her head to look at the sea, and enjoyed the beautiful seascape alone.
The two men in black robes were walking on the streets of Duogang while talking.
“Why don’t we do it directly, why do we have to use the power of this woman? With the strength of the Holy Court, we can easily take this small kingdom into the bag.”
“Even so, we still need a suitable and obedient agent to help us lead the country. Don’t you understand such a simple truth? 35
“Hmph.. you said it too, it’s obedient. Do you think this woman seems to be obedient? I think the one from the north is good. 35
One of the black-robed men suddenly stopped, and the other black-robed man looked at him in surprise.
“how?”
“You shouldn’t be unaware of what happened not long ago, right?
“What do you mean?”
The black-robed man who stopped walking raised his head, looked up at the sky, and looked in a certain direction.
His companion followed his line of sight, and soon saw that five stars could be faintly flickering in the sky that was already turning blue at sunset, outlining a standard pentagram shape.
“You mean?!”
This time, the other black-robed man reacted immediately, with a very surprised expression on his face.
The man in black robe said lightly: “Not long ago, the treasures of the stars suddenly opened, and the roulette wheel of fate (ciaa) turned. There was news from the high priest that that key person is likely to exist in this small country where we are now…”
“How is this possible?! That’s…”
The other man in black robes whispered in disbelief, but quickly closed his mouth again, as if he was afraid to say something.
The black-robed man glanced at his companion and said, “I just said it is very likely, it does not mean that it is certain. But this is the order of the high priest, so we can only take it step by step with patience.
Our people in the Northland have already gone to investigate and basically ruled out the suspicion.
The heir from the east is more mysterious and is still under investigation.
However, according to the current situation, Rowling is the most disadvantaged woman, and this woman is too smart to be elusive.
I personally prefer that she is the one appointed by the high priest to see.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it is not.”
“I understand.
Another black-robed man nodded with a complicated expression, and said after a moment of silence: “I still think that the possibility of that person appearing here is too small, how could it grow on such a barren and barren land that could affect the future situation of the entire continent. The towering tree.
The man in black robe shrugged and pouted, “Who knows.”
The figures of the two gradually disappeared, and soon disappeared.
“The funeral of the old king?”
Joshua was obviously taken aback when Hogan said this.
Seriously, if it wasn’t for Hogan’s reminder, he would have almost forgotten about it.
There is no way, mainly because the relationship between him and Charles III is too weak, and since they have crossed over, they have not even seen one side, so what is the relationship between them.
“His Majesty Charles is a devout believer of the Light. According to the tradition of Goze and the procedures of the Holy See of Light, the funeral needs to be officially held on the seventieth day after his death…”
seventy days..
Fortunately, this is a world of swords and magic. If it was placed in a previous life, the corpse would rot into water.
Joshua groaned inwardly.
Hogan continued: “…Your Majesty is the next heir appointed by the old king himself, and is the new king of Goze. The eldest prince and the second princess may not go back, but you have to go, Your Majesty.
And, after the funeral is your coronation.
The Bishop of Light will personally crown you as king.
Hogan probably also knew that the relationship between Joshua and Charles III was not too deep, so he specially emphasized the existence of the coronation ceremony and suggested that Joshua should go to the capital.
Joshua thought about it and nodded.
“Okay, when will the funeral take place?
“Seven days later.”
