Chapter 550 Paladin Alliance, Interesting
"Hmm." Arthur turned around and greeted the door, "Jerome, arrange a small boat to take us to the territory of the Milan Emperor Alliance."
"As you order, His Royal Highness Arthur." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and a person suddenly walked out from the corner of the house.
It was a man in black tights, sunglasses, a thin and cold face, and a mustache. There was a slender black iron rod stuck in his back. He held a rusty monocular in his left hand, and his right hand The arm hangs down, and at the wrist is tied a red cord with two rings.
Li Ang saw the silver badge worn on the chest of the other party clearly, his pupils shrank slightly, and a faint sarcasm was drawn at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you Jerome Karen?"
"That's right."
Jerome took off his eyes and put them next to his ears, blocked the sunlight with his hands, and said in a flat tone, "Your Highness Arthur, when are you going to set off? I will prepare the ships and equipment."
"No rush." Arthur waved his hand, turned to look at Li Ang, and said, "We need to wait for reinforcements, and this matter is related to the survival of the Paladins, so it cannot be decided hastily.
I'll ask other people's opinions first. "
"good."
Li Ang nodded, took a sip of water from the teacup on the table, and waited quietly for Arthur to contact the other three members of the Holy Knight Order.
Arthur took out a blank sheet of paper from his pocket, spread it out, and wrote and drew.
After a while, he put away the pen and paper, stood up, looked at Li Ang and said, "This is your first time in the holy city, so you don't know much about it?"
"Well, I just listened to your introduction." Li Ang nodded.
Arthur smiled and said, "Then do you know that there is a church in the central square of the Holy City?"
Li Ang shook his head.
"Our Milan Emperor Alliance is an emperor alliance that believes in the Holy Light and Order. Under the rule of the Templar Knights Alliance, the sects that believe in the Holy Light are divided into five major sects.
These five major sects are the five major sects headed by the Pope, namely, the Holy See of Glory, the Holy See of Elizabeth, the Alliance of Paladins, the Church of Mozambique, and the Church of Stuttgart (the headquarters of the Alliance of Paladins).
Every year on December 31, a grand prayer ceremony is held in the holy city.
During this period, the Holy See will gather the priests in the square, conduct confession and prayer ceremonies, offer sacrifices to the gods, and let the paladins and fighters test the purity of the holy power.
This work is one of the strictest and most attention-grabbing tasks in the entire Milan Emperor Alliance, including the surrounding King Alliance, so I chose to travel to the Milan Emperor Alliance at this time. "
"I see." Li Ang nodded and asked again, "What kind of force is the Templar Alliance?"
"It is the core organization of the church and the administrator of the Holy City." Arthur said succinctly, "It is said that the Knights Templar Alliance has extremely high authority and can go directly to the Heaven Court to provide protection to heaven."
Li Ang nodded thoughtfully.
Arthur continued: "The Milan Emperor Alliance is the oldest alliance in Europe. It has a history of several thousand years and has also ruled in very glorious years.
At that time, the Milan Emperor Alliance was led by the Duke of Milan, and it was the wealthiest monarchy alliance in Europe, with huge wealth and Extraordinary power.
But in the late 1930s, the Milan Emperor Alliance encountered a catastrophe, the city of Milan was occupied by an evil force, and the royal family and nobles fled overseas one after another.
Subsequently, the Duchy of Milan was destroyed, the dynasty was destroyed, and the people of the alliance became slaves.
Audrey Hepburn, the granddaughter of the Duke of Milan, ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor, established the New Emperor Alliance, and became the second alliance king of the Milan Emperor Alliance.
The Alliance King brought the elite forces of the Emperor Alliance to the northern border, and built fortresses in many places to prevent the enemy alliance from invading, and built hundreds of giant towns.
The prosperity of the Milan Emperor Alliance originated from these towns and villages, which are now the northern city-states and the mainland of Mozambique. "
Li Ang asked with great interest: "According to your description, that Princess Audrey should also be a Legendary?"
"That's right." Arthur nodded and said, "She was the only Mage of the Legendary rank at the beginning of the establishment of the Milan Emperor Alliance, and she was the top-level Holy Word Mage, revered as the ancestor of the Paladin.
She founded the Mage Association of the Milan Emperor Alliance, which specializes in magic research and is responsible for teaching paladin apprentices and maintaining the stability of the holy city.
Our Holy Light Church is the most powerful church under the Paladin Association. "
Arthur paused, and continued: "Although the holy city has declined, the church is still well preserved, it is the strongest fortress, and its defense is comparable to that of a royal palace.
If we want to live and operate in the Holy City, we need to pay at least 10,000 gold soles. "
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Ten thousand gold soles? Aren't you paladins? Why can't you afford ten thousand gold soles?"
"The salary of a paladin is very low. Except for the salary of 1,000 gold Sol per month, the rest of the money was taken away by the Duke of Milan and replaced with gold, jewelry, and potions..."
Arthur smiled wryly, and explained: "And even if the Duke of Milan is willing to pay, I can't spend money to buy a bunch of waste products."
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then asked: "We are going to the holy city of the Milan Emperor Alliance, is it possible that we are looking for someone to fight?"
Arthur nodded, and said: "The holy knights of the Holy City are the most heavily defended army in Milan City, and they also control the vast majority of the army in the Holy City.
If it's not for some special reason, I don't want to disturb the guardians of the holy city at this time. "
He looked up and looked around, "Are our carriages, weapons and armor enough?
If you have any difficulties, you can stay with me back to the City Hall of the Holy City, where there is a special hotel. "
"Thank you, we have enough carriages." Li Ang said with a smile: "Then let's go."
Arthur nodded, and led Li Ang towards the city wall, got into a luxurious carriage, and drove away from the city gate.
...
Milan Emperor Alliance is a large alliance home, with an area of 5,000 square kilometers, many counties and towns, all kinds of facilities are complete, and commerce, entertainment, and technology are very developed.
Not only that, but as the world's second largest economy, the Milan Emperor Alliance also has abundant resources, such as grain, iron ore and metal materials.
As the capital of the Milan Emperor Alliance, the city of Milan has endless forests, swamps, lakes and harbors. Its products are quite rich, and there are even many rare plants.
Due to the relative safety of the environment in the city of Milan, and the presence of a large number of patrolling soldiers, coupled with the stationing of the Paladin Alliance, the city of Milan has always been the first choice for mercenary adventurers.
Therefore, mercenaries wearing heavy armor, long swords hanging from their waists or broad-edged long knives with both hands can be seen everywhere on the streets of Milan.
Li Ang observed this majestic city through the gap in the curtains, his face became more solemn.
