It was getting late, so Olan did not leave immediately and stayed overnight.
The place where he slept was Marcus's knight's main room, and there was a portrait of a person (Nan Milo) in it.
Originally, his men wanted to clear out these things, but Oran stopped this action.
But for the sake of safety, the men still searched inside and outside the room first, and found a hidden compartment in the wall. After opening it, there was a locked iron box inside.
"Sir, this is it."
The speaker is "Titan".
Ever since he prevented the king's soldiers from insulting White Eagle in Danbao Church and blocked the next sword.
The latest identity now is the messenger of Oran (arranged by steward Nanamp).
Tai Tan's injuries have not fully healed yet, so he was not asked to carry heavy objects on this expedition.
But he was still swollen - the smell of scones.
Oran remembered that last time he said that he wanted to make this boy eat to his fullest every day, so he didn't say anything.
"Smash open the iron box and see what it is?"
After Oran gave the order, Tai Tan immediately ran outside and called the others. He quickly got a hammer used to build the soles of horses and smashed the iron box open. After Titan took out the letter, he handed it to Oran respectfully with both hands.
Then Taitan retreated outside the door, looked around and saw that no one was around, and began to take out the scones from his sleeves, eating them while keeping alert.
He ate the scones in one mouthful, and in the end he licked his fingers as he was still not satisfied. He took out the water bag from his waist, squirted a few times, and filled half of the bag.
"Huh!" Titan exclaimed happily.
As he eats without restraint, his body gradually becomes obese. After a while, he may become a Fat Titan, which will be worthy of his name.
He would wait until Olan woke up before changing people. During this time, he began to write words out of thin air with his fingers.
"Olan, Lord (used to read letters sent by the church), your Excellency, your lord... Titan."
Oran stipulates that when servants of the White Eagle Territory learn to calligraphy, the first word group is to remember their own names, even before God...
Use the left hand to write in the air, and the right hand to draw in the air - practice swordsmanship.
He also wanted to become a horse rider who could fight. Even though he was gesturing blindly with his right hand, he was still having a great time doing it.
Dreams always start small and accumulate bit by bit.
"One day, I will also have a surname!"
This is Titan's second small goal after eating enough every day.
…
The night was getting colder, and Olan was reading a letter.
The iron box contains a large number of letters written on papyrus.
There are "self-confession", "border diary" written to the lord, and "the experience of the great tourney" when traveling in Wessex when he was young.
In the self-confession, one wrote, "That day, I followed my father into the castle to attend the wedding. When I saw her for the first time, I felt a sweet feeling in my heart. 'She' is so beautiful. That night, I turned over and over again, all in my mind. She, no, she is my lord and I shouldn’t.”
The letter stopped abruptly.
According to Oran's memory, there is only one young lady left in the Canaan family - Mrs. Rowling.
There is no date in the letter, but before Oran attacked the Dacanan family, he had collected all the information about the family in the past ten years. This should have been five years ago.
Oran thought that Marcus was in love with the lord's wife, but he didn't know that it was just an accidental affection of Marcus when he was young. He left this letter to warn himself that he should not have such evil thoughts.
Mrs. Rowling comes from a small aristocratic family in the former king region of the south.
This family supported the former king. During a certain battle, they were defeated by Ella and her men, and Mrs. Luo Lin was snatched back to the royal court.
In that battle, the former baron master of the Canaan family also participated. At the banquet, Luo Lin, who had lost her husband, was ransomed, so that the woman could continue to stay in County Durham.
Everyone has desires, and a flash occurred in Olan's mind. If he "controls" this woman, wouldn't that mean he controls Marcus?
Sometimes women are more useful than jewelry, gold, silver, and land in buying people's hearts.
The weaker the woman, the stronger the man.
The border diary is nothing. It mostly describes the Viking settlements in the north, which often come to invade and ask for support from the lords.
But Oran should be concerned about these things now. To the north is "Jewish County", where the nominal county chief is 'Earl Sachs', also known as the "Stingy Man".
Oran remembered that his father had proposed to the earl that they would raid the Viking settlements in his territory together and rob the Vikings of their property and population to increase their strength.
But this count actually charged a transit fee when his father's army crossed the border!
But his father was so angry that he never wanted to associate with this stingy man again.
"How can such a lord, who is worse than an insect, control Yewei County? That place should also be under the rule of my White Eagle Territory!"
Oran began to think about reaching out here again.
According to recent intelligence, Yewei County is increasingly unable to withstand the pressure from the Vikings within its territory.
Vikings from Danfa District, stingy people.
With these two things, Olan began to think of something that could be used...
An hour passed just thinking about it.
There were only two letters about the final contest experience, one praising "the prosperity of Wessex".
After all, it is the overlord of the Seven Kingdoms. Oran simply looked at it and put it down.
The other one was a long one, about the good southerners Marcus had met.
"When it comes to riding a lance, the knight 'Windgun Rodwig' opened my eyes. Such a thin body can be so flexible to hold a lance in his arm. I heard people say that no matter what kind of horse, there is no horse that he can't tame. , What an outstanding knight..."
Wind Spear Rodway, Olan has seen this person once in his memory. He likes to wear red armor during martial arts competitions. When the horse's hooves gallop, it looks like a ball of flame flying past, which is extremely eye-catching.
"In the swordsmanship competition, the final ones to enter the decisive battle are the knights of 'Amon the Confessor' from the Mercia region, and the knights of 'Sigis the Needle Sword' from East Angria.
Knight Amon's swordsmanship favors speed, and is slightly faster than mine, while my opponent, Knight Sigis's swordsmanship, I feel focuses on strength and skill... Both of them are masters, but I heard that the 'Needle Sword Knight' never competes in swordsmanship. , harming people's lives, trying to rebel, 'Knight of Amon' is always willing to send people to heaven, maybe this is the reason why Knight of Amon can win..."
According to the memory in his mind, this Knight of Amon should be almost fifty this year. He has fought swords with his father twice, winning and losing, so he is getting stronger with age.
Oran, the knight of "Needle Sword", is very unfamiliar. He only knows that he is a new knight who has been active in "East Angria" in recent years, and he is also a knight minister who is extremely trusted by the young king "Edmund".
I'm not familiar with the knight, but I know King Edmund like Oran!
King Edmund was eight years older than Oran and was a king who was "extremely devout" in his faith.
And she is the only "Queen" among the Seven Kingdoms!
After her brother's death, she inherited her brother's name and continued to rule.
As the weakest country among the seven countries, East Angria did not have a strong monarch. Instead, it elected a queen due to serious internal fighting and compromise.
She likes to tell the classics to the people and nobles, and prays day and night, hoping for the blessing of the Lord.
The most famous deed is "slap in the face".
The year before last, she was a guest of the Wessex royal family, and there was a conflict between her knights and the local knights.
Her knight was slapped by the opposite knight, and at that time the Hand of the King of Wessex (Alfred) ordered his own knight to be punished.
"The Gospel says, 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.' This is not revenge, but actions to stop others from doing evil."
This is Alfred's "oath of oath" before punishment, to convince his own knights, and to let Edmund know that even if Wessex is strong, it will not bully the alliance at will.
Originally, things should have ended like this, but the queen said, "The Gospels also say that you should have good intentions, be lenient, and give your face to others for beatings again."
When someone slaps you on the right cheek, slap him on the other cheek too!
That's probably what it means.
When Alfred heard the Queen's words, he smiled awkwardly and almost wanted to respond, "Then if the Vikings come again and rob you of your cattle, horses and property, you should even give them to the people."
Alfred also went to Rome when he was young and studied the classics seriously.
He knows that "times are different" and the scriptures should be understood differently
"Lord Jesus" left this gospel in an era when people carried out their will with their hands.
If you want to express contempt, you often flick the opponent's "right cheek" with the "back of your right hand".
This is behavior towards women, children and slaves.
Therefore, when someone slaps the other person's left cheek with the right palm instead, it means that you and I are of equal status.
Alfred believed that the original meaning of "Lord Jesus" was,
If someone slaps me on the right cheek and makes me look down on my body, I will respond with the other cheek to show that we are equal.
Use non-violent behavior to restore the identity of the two people.
But this method was too noble. Alfred felt that this was a good quality only possessed by saints.
But in the end, at the queen's request, the royal knight of Wessex slapped the queen's knight again.
The incident ended in a situation where both parties felt that it was beneficial to them.
A weird “win-win.”
This matter was written by the Archbishop of England (Archbishop of Mercia) in his New Year's greeting letter to the Pope.
The Roman priests praised the queen's noble character, but the other six kings of England despised the queen even more.
From time to time, their soldiers harass the Queen's border.
After that incident, Edmond was also known as the "Queen of the Left Cheek."
…
Oran has never seen what the Queen looks like, but he has heard a little about it.
If East Angria comes close to his territory, he may have to imitate the Vikings and try to get a hold of them.
That night, Olan did not sleep. In the morning, before the dew had completely receded, he walked out of the house.
"Your Mightiness."
The Guard Titan saw it and immediately summoned up the energy to say hello, but then let out another drum beat.
"Have you finished eating the cake?"
"Um!"
"I ask you."
"Um?"
"What would you do if someone slapped you in the face?"
"I'll hit him too!"
"What would you do if I slapped you in the face?"
"I...if I eat my face wider, it won't hurt so much when I get hit."
"What would you do if I got hit in the face?"
"I'll kill him!"
Little Fatty Titan was very nervous, but he never said anything wrong.
"Very good. When you are a messenger, you have to learn a lot, but the most important thing is that my honor and disgrace are your life!"
Upon hearing this, Titan straightened his body as straight as a pillar.
"If you learn more than 400 words within two months, or achieve military exploits, then you will be a 'cadet knight'."
Olan patted Titan on the shoulder. This sudden happiness almost made the little fat man faint!
Olan walked out of the house, where the soldiers were lighting a fire for cooking.
But before the meal was finished, another good news came. Another man from the nearby village lord, with his followers, mounted a donkey and surrendered.
He knelt before Oran and confessed his guilt.
Olan Nafeng said, "If you don't surrender, after the castle is taken, the order letters from all the manor owners will be replaced, which will have a great effect."
The territory where the former baron's popularity has been unstable since his death is fearful when faced with the upper-level de jure monarchs who accept honors from the king.
In this operation, Oran lost less than 60 people, and gained the support of nearly 90% of the nobles under the Canaan family.
The remaining 10% is all pointless resistance. As long as these village chiefs or manor managers are hung up and placed in the square at the entrance of the village, they will immediately become as obedient as dogs.
Durham United Front is as follows:
On April 7, the demon Oran entered the Ghazi barony, and the county magistrate issued an edict.
On April 14, the powerful Lord White Eagle led 700 people and began to sweep the border.
On April 17, Oran Vijay captured the border post and defeated Marcus.
On April 18, Lord Oran went to the last baronial castle in the country to resist.
On April 19th, the sole owner of Durham arrived at Lady Rowling's castle.
Oran was high-spirited, with hundreds of spears behind him, ready to question the crime.
