A new day has ushered in Luodu City, and many people have begun to re-examine the situation because of Alex's appearance. Although not many details of last night's battle have been revealed, His Highness the Second Prince who happened to appear there will still be more or less... Make people think a little bit.
After the news that Alex was ambushed, although the king personally announced the cause of death and executed several orcs and demons, conspiracy theories about Qiao Xiu were still rampant for a while.
Alex appeared again last night, and Qiao Xiu happened to be involved again. There were even rumors that he had fought with Alex. This news is naturally worth thinking about.
There was already a delicate balance between Qiao Xiu and Sean. As long as His Majesty the King did not express his position, this balance would be difficult to break in a short period of time, and everything seemed peaceful on the surface.
However, Alex's appearance is like a sharp sword, ruthlessly splitting this fig leaf of peace.
With his great strength and status in the hearts of the people of Los Empire, his choice will undoubtedly break this balance, and even King Edward cannot ignore his opinion.
Regardless of whether Qiao Xiu is related to the incident three years ago, most people don't think Alex will choose Qiao Xiu after returning. Sean, who once lived and died with him on the border, will obviously be more attractive. A good choice. After the news of Alex's death was announced, His Highness the First Prince personally stayed at the funeral for three days and three nights. The deep friendship between the two was evident.
The ministers who had already made their choices began to think about whether they had made the wrong decision, and those on the fence seemed to have found a clear direction and began to make moves.
The heavy rain last night was destined to shake the entire Los Empire.
Of course, some people are not included here, such as the ordinary people on the street who are still struggling with what to eat in the morning, or the scholars who are heading towards Carlo Church in high spirits.
…
Carlo Church is located in the west of Luodu City. Black railings surround a very wide area of land. In the center of the yellowed lawn, there is a magnificent domed church. Two rows of large white stone pillars are arranged in sequence and are paved with white stone slabs. In the square, white pigeons are looking for grass seeds among the cracks in the rocks.
The missionary in black clothing had a serious expression. He walked through the corridors of the church. There was no smile on his face, but he looked a little hurried.
The history of the church is longer than that of the Los Empire. During the racial war, missionaries walked on the Nolan continent, treated those humans injured in the war, raised and protected those children who lost their parents in the war, and were deeply loved by humans. Respect and adoration.
In the race war, the church was also one of the leaders of the human camp. It was they who gradually brought the loosely resisting humans together, and used the church as an organization to cultivate many knights and magicians for humans.
The royal family of the Los Empire was the spokesperson of the church back then, leading mankind to survive the racial war and gaining a huge territory.
However, after the establishment of the Los Empire, successive kings have intentionally or unintentionally weakened the influence of the church and control of the royal family.
This was especially obvious in the decades when Andre was in power. Of the churches that were originally spread across the Los Empire, only the Carlo Church remained. Most of the church's influence was absorbed by the Mage Tower. Those who had experienced the war had died. Except for some believers, this century-old church is now more like a symbol, leaving evidence of its existence in the history of mankind.
Even though the pope is still nominally respected by the imperial royal family, the extremely strict restrictions on preaching and the blockade from top to bottom have actually made the church empty.
The empty Carlo Church has even become a special venue for some ministers to hold large-scale events. For example, this debate was held in Carlo Church.
The older priest naturally did not have to be responsible for receiving such things, so he stayed in the room at the back of the church without seeing anything.
Although the church is in decline, not everyone can bully it. The Los Empire's Ministry of Education only borrows the main hall of the church, and the rest of the area cannot be accessed at will.
The young missionary served tea to these scholars dressed in white and talking loudly with a serious expression, and then stood aside with hands tied.
Although they didn't like these people disturbing the tranquility of the church, the missionaries had to hold their noses to serve them, so their expressions were naturally not much better.
The hall is paved with smooth light golden marble, and light shines through the amber crystal from the dome, illuminating the entire hall.
There are exquisite murals carved on the stone walls, most of which are scenes of the church rescuing mankind and fighting against various races during the racial wars.
In the war-torn era, it was these priests who led mankind out of the dark ages, and finally had a real foothold on the Nolan continent.
Now under these murals, sitting cross-legged are hundreds of people wearing white or green clothes, some of them are already gray-haired, and some are just young people. The number of people wearing green clothes is obviously smaller, and they are also younger.
On the high platform, there were ten people sitting cross-legged, each wearing blue and white clothes, each sitting on one side of the other.
The people in white clothes are all old men with gray hair. On the Qingyi side, except for Byron sitting in the middle, the other four are only middle-aged, and there is also a young man who looks about thirty years old, who looks younger and more immature.
The expressions on the faces of everyone in Tsing Yi were a little nervous, and they looked at Byron who was sitting in the center from time to time. Today's debate is the last of ten debates. The result of the debate will determine whether the Los Empire's arithmetic community will use a new base system. , or still continue the old hexadecimal system.
Judging from the situation in the previous nine games, although more and more mathematicians have joined the Tsing Yi camp, compared with the stubborn conservative faction, the Tsing Yi innovative faction is still declining, and it is difficult for the opponent to retain the big label of tradition and inheritance. Then, make a powerful counterattack to break down the opponent's defense.
If they lose this debate, all the efforts they have made during this period will be in vain, and the multiplication table that gave them hope in promoting arithmetic will also be covered in dust. This is something no one wants to see.
"Lord Byron, nine o'clock has arrived, and it's time for the debate to begin."
A middle-aged man in black stepped forward, looked at Byron and said.
"Mr. McGonagall, why haven't they come yet?"
Luna, who was standing at the door of the main hall, looked anxiously in the direction of the church door.
Byron also glanced in the direction of the door, then withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly and said, "Let's get started."
…
"Father, should we eat noodles or rice in the morning?"
In a certain food street, Amy looked up at Mag and asked.
