The Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Teutonic Knights have survived from the Middle Ages to modern times, and only the Knights Hospitaller has retained its entire organizational structure.
The full name of the Knights Hospitaller is the "Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem", and its main purpose is to care for the wounded and pilgrims.
Because the original intention of the Knights Hospitallers was to build long-distance hospitals, treat illnesses and save lives, only the Knights Hospitallers of the three major knights have retained their organizational structure intact.
The Knights Hospitaller used to be a national power with territory. After losing its territory for thousands of years, even its residence was leased. However, it is an observer entity of the United Nations and has a quasi-state nature.
What really makes it famous is the Knights Hospitallers, and its special nature. It is recognized as a country by more than a hundred countries and has established corresponding diplomatic relations with it.
Therefore, the means of making money are not only limited to issuing commemorative currency and stamps, but also knighthood and title. Of course, these can be bought with money.
"Your Majesty, you can definitely rebuild your Knights of the Round Table. Our British royal family and the British government will definitely actively find a building for you in London and the whole of Britain to serve as your Knights of the Round Table residence, and we can even recognize you as the king of the UK. "
Princess Alice showed a strong ability to take action. She used the Knights Hospitallers as an example to show that knighthood and titles can still be given without actually mastering a country.
For example, the recipient of the Order of the Garter automatically has the status of a knight, and the Queen of England serves as the head of the Order of the Garter, and the other recipients of the Order serve as military organizations of knights.
Although this military organization, in a practical sense, cannot expect the Queen of England to lead foreign heads of state and high-ranking government officials to fight as her knights, it is indeed the highest honor for the honorees, because they are regarded as the most respected in England. noble knight.
There are many micro-countries in Europe. Not only can you sell commemorative coins and stamps, and you can buy knighthoods with money, but if you have enough money, you can also directly rent the country, people and government agencies to you. You experience the joy of being a king.
"Two kings."
William smiled and felt that this proposal was ridiculous. He had a strong opinion of Princess Alice.
He knew very well that Princess Alice was very popular with King Arthur, and her performance was not only flattering, but even flattering and flattering. King Arthur also liked Alice very much, and somehow it gave William a sense of danger of falling out of favor.
"Yes, doesn't Italy currently have a dual monarchy? Doesn't the United States also have two presidents, one president and one vice president? In British history, didn't there also appear two couples, one of whom was revered as the king, and the other Most people who are revered as queens are kings who are co-rulers with the queen. Even in Crescent countries, aren’t there examples where the national president and spiritual leader are both the head of state? During the Hundred Years War between England and France, even the church appeared at the same time Three Popes, Italian, French, and Holy Roman Empire.”
Princess Alice said eruditely, what she meant was that although some rules are dead, they are also alive at the same time.
If King Arthur is willing to stay in Britain, then he can use her power to fight against the royal factory of the Black Prince Alec. With such a god-killer as an enemy, the pressure from the Council of Sages can be imagined, and the royal family also needs A patron.
If King Arthur, the eternal king in British history, is willing to stay in the UK, then the sanctity and status of the British royal family will be unshakable, and the centripetal force of the United Kingdom will definitely be strengthened like never before. It was absolutely impossible for Ireland to become independent from the United Kingdom before. Happen again.
Although some things are secret, they are highly confidential after all. In fact, the senior officials know it very well. This is why although Japan does not have its own God-killer, it has never been disturbed by the arrival of the God of Disobedience. .
The island country of Japan governs all the forces in the Japanese magic world and the "official history compilation committee" that appears as an official organization has the patron saint of their country and nation, Susano'o, as its backer, and this god of disobedience has also been Called "Royal Husband".
Erica stared blankly at Princess Alice's speech, and found that she could not get a word in at all. The twelve-year-old Erica was too old compared to Princess Alice, who became the speaker of the Council of Sages at the age of sixteen. Too immature.
In this kind of key meeting, both the Red Copper Black Cross and other magic associations have knights with both wisdom and courage, but they are not close to William, so they cannot participate in such small meetings.
No matter which country's conference is held, it is always a quarrel, and it is the small conferences that decide the real big issues.
Erica understood that her and Princess Alice's suggestions would largely shape the foreign policies of William and King Arthur, but she was completely speechless at such a critical moment. She didn't even know whether she should express support or opposition.
"That's unnecessary. I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the late knights of my Knights of the Round Table. The current king is William. He can recruit his own Knights of the Round Table. Alice and Erica, you two are willing to become William's Round Table." Is the knight loyal to him?"
King Arthur shook his head in refusal, then looked at the two girls with a serious look, and asked in a solemn voice.
"Of course!" Princess Alice and Erica said immediately, fearing that they would fall behind, their voices resounded throughout the room.
King Arthur looked at William standing aside and said, "William, what are you still doing? Have you forgotten that someone has declared allegiance to you? What should you do?"
William was stunned for a moment, and then watched Princess Alice and Erica kneeling on the ground at the same time to perform the etiquette of knighthood to William. In fact, even knights half-kneeled when facing their own kings, with the exception of knights. , under the impact of this scene, William immediately pulled out his sword in the stone.
"It's better to choose the day than to hit the sun. Let's start the canonization now!" King Arthur said.
"You want me to be canonized, but I'm not even a knight myself?"
William was stunned for a moment. His identity was that of a knight's attendant. Only formal knights were eligible to confer another knight. Otherwise, the king would confer the title, and they also had the identity of a knight.
Twelve-year-old William is not tall. When Princess Alice and Erica knelt on the ground, they felt like they were looking down from above.
Duke William in the historical line left Avalon at the age of twelve to pursue chivalry and adventure all over the world. His identity was just an ordinary knight, and his knighthood was also conferred by his monarch, the King of France. Canonization, and through this canonization, he regained the Norman Principality with the help of the royal family.
"Alice and Erica are just kneeling on the floor like this. There's not even a cushion under them. Do you have the heart to let them wait?" King Arthur's voice became stern.
"But you are both a king and a knight, can't you do it for me? Or you can make me a knight first, and then I will come again."
"William, I can't replace you in everything. For example, I can't replace you in eating, let alone your identity as a monarch."
"Okay!" William reluctantly put the sword on Alice's shoulder, while King Arthur on the side spoke of the knight's oath.
The Sword in the Stone glowed faintly, and William stared at the vision with wide eyes, while King Arthur showed a nostalgic expression, "Although the Sword in the Stone is a holy sword, its greatest role is to choose the king. After being blessed by the Archbishop and connected to God, and used to rule the country, this is a ceremonial sword, not used for fighting. Congratulations to you William, a person who is enough to be canonized as a knight will no longer be considered a child by me.
Alice and Erica are connected to your power. They can use your power as long as you agree. In fact, as long as the relationship is close enough, they can use it even if you don't actively refuse. If the relationship is very close, your power will be used. That's their strength. Do you know what this means? "
"It means that Erica and I both possess the powerful magic power of the God Killer!" Princess Alice said in an intoxicated tone as she felt the huge magic power in her body that was a hundred times stronger than that of humans.
Power can be transferred. For example, the British Parliament, government and even the courts were legally created with the authorization of the king.
