Chapter 412: A Knight Fighting for the Future
After obtaining the Holy Sect fiefdom, Jenn and the others' mission here was also over, so he and the others did not hesitate to leave. Even Barty and Carter, exhausted from their adventures in the Wild West, wanted to leave the place early if they could, so after accepting the reward, they said goodbye to Bishop Hegel and hurried away. Carter also had to take the remnants of the people to arrange for their relatives, and according to Carter, he would take them with him to his fiefdom. Barty, on the other hand, seems to be completely indifferent, and plans to go directly to the fiefdom without bringing anything. According to him, he now only has an empty old house in his hometown, and there are a large number of creditors blocking the door, and he can't get any benefit when he goes back. It's better to go to the fiefdom first, and return to the hometown after the trouble is settled, so that you can deal with those creditors.
After they left, Jenn also left the temple and headed for his carriage. According to Bishop Hegel, Valrhona had already been sent away by JΓΆssen, so there was no point in staying here.
But when he came to the carriage and looked at the people waiting there, Jenn's eyes flashed with a gleam.
"Ah......... Hello, Miss Nadia. β
"Hello, Mr. Jenn."
Nadia, who was standing next to the carriage, saluted Jenn respectfully, as a member of the entourage, of course, she was also promoted, looking at the three golden borders on her chest, you can know that the girl in front of her has been upgraded to a big knight, although there is not much difference between a big knight and a knight, but the status is higher, but this also means that Nadia will be the next knight chief is already a sure thing. If nothing else. After more than ten years, she should be able to ascend to a new stage as a knight captain.
If nothing else.
"Congratulations on your promotion to Grand Knight."
Glancing at the gold trim on Nadia's chest. Jenn said with a smile. Hearing this, Nadia's face turned slightly red. Obviously something is not used to it.
"Thank you, Mr. Jenn. But strictly speaking, I don't think I deserve such an honor........."
But before Nadia could finish her sentence, Jenn interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
"The Templar Order should not have the habit of being idle and bored and casually handing out merits, no matter what others say, what should be yours is yours, just take it. Some people think I shouldn't be a nobleman, but it's mine. Could they still snatch it from me? If they do, I don't mind showing them how I became a decorated nobleman. β
Hearing Jenn's words, Nadia showed a wry smile, of course she knew how Jenn became a decorated nobleman, and she also knew what he had done before this. You must know that now in the Valkyrie Principality, Jenn is also listed as a first-class wanted criminal, and according to the requirements of the Valkyrie Principality, as long as he finds out that Jenn has entered the Principality, he will be arrested or killed immediately, which is a mortal enemy. But Nadia believes, judging by her understanding of Jenn. If he really wants to go to the Valkyrie Principality, then it is estimated that there will be a river of blood.
If it had been before, Nadia would have been unimpressed by Jenn's approach, but now......... Except for a wry smile. She didn't have anything else in mind.
"Alright, don't talk nonsense, Miss Nadia. I guess you're not here just to say goodbye to me. β
"Yes. Mr. Jenn. β
Saying this, Nadia's face became much more solemn.
"After coming back. I think about it a lot......... I think that the current approach of the Templar Order is somewhat contrary to our original purpose, and we have sworn before the Nine Saints to act for the fairness, goodness, and justice of this world. But in fact, the Templar had to bow its head in the face of harsh reality........."
With that, Nadia clenched her fists.
"I know what the Bishops think that theocracy should not interfere with the regime, but if the Templar continues like this, how much more will we have left to protect? I believe that the Templar Church should fulfill its duty of overseer to stop the tyrannical behavior of the aristocracy, rather than just keep silent. Therefore, I intend to return to the True Eye Church and gather the like-minded knights to protest and demand this. We must find a way to change the status quo of the Templar Order..............."
"So how are you going to change that?"
With his hands folded in front of his chest, Jenn narrowed his eyes and looked at Nadia with a slight smile.
"Could it be that you plan to write a petition and send it to the Templar higher-ups? But I can assure you that the petition will somehow disappear in the middle of the process, or it will be moldy somewhere in the warehouse, even if you are lucky enough to get it to the upper desks of the Templar Order? I think it won't be long before your fellow people who sign your name will be transferred out of here under various guises to take up positions elsewhere. β
As he spoke, Jenn shrugged his shoulders.
"Or are you going to break the silence and arrest a nobleman and send him to prison when he commits atrocities? So on what charges are you going to try each other? Take the law of the Templar Order? Or is it by the laws of the local lords? If it's the former, are you planning to change the name of the other country? If it's the latter, you know the ending better than I do. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Jenn's words, Nadia fell silent. She had to admit that what she thought was still too simple. Before talking to Jenn, Nadia did think about gathering her like-minded companions and petitioning her superiors. But what's the use? Although Nadia thinks that if she makes enough noise on her side, then the Templar hierarchy will inevitably react. But how old is enough? You must know that before this, it was not without paladins who left the church in anger because of this, and even degenerated into black knights, but these are useless. The Templar Order is still the same Templar Order, and it has never changed over the years.
"So, Mr. Jenn, what are we going to do?"
Thinking of this, Nadia couldn't help but be a little depressed, her beautiful dreams were so vulnerable in the face of the cruel reality, which made Nadia feel annoyed and frustrated, and at the same time with dissatisfaction and sadness for the Templar Order--why did an organization that swore to protect the world become what it is now?
However, Jenn was clearly not as frustrated as Nadia, instead, he shrugged his shoulders and whistled.
"It's very simple, strengthen your faith, paladins because they uphold justice, fight evil, and eliminate violence, aren't they?"
"That's true, but ..............."
"So, is the overthrow of tyranny an act of justice? Or is it a symbol of evil? If a group of peasants overthrew their tyrannical lord, what would the Templar do? β
"This ..............."
Hearing Jenn's words, Nadia couldn't help but be stunned. This kind of thing has not happened before, and the cruelty and tyranny of the nobles are not endurable by everyone, and some people have tried to resist them, but most of these rebellions have been suppressed by the nobles' private soldiers. Those who tried to resist the nobles were also arrested and hanged, and although the Templar had privately expressed their displeasure, they still did not say anything about these things. After all, this is interference in the internal affairs of the country, and it is not an admirable act for the Templar Order.
"But the Templar ........."
"Oh? To my surprise, I thought the paladins believed in gods, not the Templars. β
"What............!"
Jenn's words hit Nadia like a bolt from the blue, causing the girl to stand there dumbfounded, and for a moment, her brain only felt blank. Jenn's words were like a hammer blow, opening a new door for Nadia in front of her. All along, Nadia did not separate the Templar Order from the gods, and the Templar Order was the spokesperson of the gods, so the paladin, as a person who believed in the gods, naturally had to obey the orders of the Order. In Nadia's view, this is a matter of course and a matter of course.
But now, Jenn told her that the Order to the Order, faith to faith, and gods to God, the three were not the same thing at all. This was a great shock to Nadia's values, and she even felt that her eyes were blank and she couldn't see anything.
However, Jenn was obviously not interested in accompanying Nadia in a daze, and after saying this, Jenn bowed to the other party elegantly.
"Well, then, I take my leave, Miss Nadia, and I wish you a speedy accomplishment of your goal."
With that, Jenn bypassed Nadia and got into the carriage. Immediately afterwards, the little maid poked her head out of the carriage and whistled softly, and then the dark carriage began to move forward. It wasn't until this time that Nadia seemed to react, she turned her head to look at Jenn's carriage, and then raised her hand high and waved it vigorously.
"Thank you, Mr. Jenn, I knew I should have done ............!!"
"Humph..............."
Listening to Nadia's call from outside the carriage, Jenn chuckled and leaned back on the sofa in the carriage. Beside him, Tinidel tilted his head curiously and looked at Jenn.
"What did you do?"
"I'm just kindly pointing out the way a lost lamb should go."
Jenn shrugged his shoulders at Tinidel's inquiry, then replied with a smile on his face. Then he reached out and pushed his glasses, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"So what's next......... Enoa, we have something to do. (To be continued......)
