Chapter 286 Lydia's Promise
As Lawn thought, the change of the venue of the festival immediately caused a stir in the entire Mun Duke. No wonder, a historical festival suddenly changed the venue for no reason, which naturally surprised many people. But they did not think it was very strange, because many people already knew that the reason why the venue of the midsummer festival was changed was held in Golden City. This great man liked to be funny by nature, so there was nothing strange about intervening in the midsummer festival.
What made the mercenaries even more excited was that this midsummer festival competition was actually held in the Holy Arena!
This is not an ordinary place! In the Duchy of Moon, the Holy Arena has a very high status.
A long time ago, the existence of the Holy Arena was to select the most loyal, bravest and most powerful guards to form a personal guard who was loyal to the Dragon of Light. They were not only the pride of the Duchy of Mun, but also the spokespersons of the strongest person under the entire Dragon of Light.
Now that time has changed, as the Dragon of Light gradually loses its power under the suppression of the parliament, the purpose of the Holy Arena has also changed. More than a hundred years ago, the Council "replaced" the Dragon of Light and "rejected" this glorious tradition. In their words, a true warrior should dedicate everything to the continent where the light shines, rather than a specific existence. Moreover, even the successor of the Dragon of Light, she is just a person. It is really a waste to make the top powers of this continent allegiance to one person.
However, the Duchy of Mun is definitely not a good match for the parliament. They understand better than anyone else that the parliament did this because they were afraid that the heirs of the Dragon of Light had powerful military power to fight against them, so they deliberately made excuses to try to cancel the activity. However, the Principal of Mun did not respond to this. They still retained the responsibilities of the Holy Arena, nor did they cancel this tradition according to the recommendations of the Council of the Dragon of Light. It just changed the situation. The winners of the arena no longer swear allegiance to the Dragon of Light as before. Instead, they swear to fight for the guardian of the Dragon of Light--this is a complete word game, who is in the world
Everyone knows that the Duchy of Mun has always been loyal to the Dragon of Light. This has never changed. Even if the Council of the Dragon of Light has always despised them for this "ignorant personality cult", the Principal of Mun still does his own way and does not repent. The conflicts between the two sides are not only reflected here, but in all aspects. From the perspective of the Council of the Dragon of Light, they have been committed to proclaiming that this continent is a continent of all the people of Light, not a specific existence. The people on each continent of Light can change the world, and as the representatives of these people, of course, there are sufficient legitimate reasons to exercise their power.
But in the Duchy of Mun, this continent belongs to the Dragon of Light, and you are all its people. Then you should obey the will of the Dragon of Light, rather than disobeying or resisting its majesty and glory. Not to mention it is for personal gain, which is even more intolerable.
It is precisely because of the positions of both sides that the tension between the Duchy of Mun and the Parliament of the Dragon of Light was determined. In the former, the latter was a ruthless person who was trying to seek power and usurp the throne under the banner of high-sounding power. In the latter, the former was to maintain their ruling foundation. They were stubborn and unwilling to accept the progress of history and civilization and acted as conservative nobles for the tiger. And as spokespersons of the people, they were to resist the rule of these privileged classes, so that the people of the mainland of Light could enjoy true equality and freedom!
Both sides think that they are not wrong, so the confrontation is all-round from the people to the official. The people of the Duchy of Mun believe that the guys of the Dragon Kingdom of Light are all traitors who are ungrateful, pick up knives and forks and call them down, and put down knives and forks to curse them. The Dragon Kingdom of Light believes that the people of the Duchy of Mun are pitiful people who are brainwashed by the ruling class. They have no idea what they are protecting for, but they just follow the crowd and have no ability to judge themselves.
In terms of momentum, the Duchy of Mun is definitely at a disadvantage in confronting more than 30 alliances of the Dragon Kingdom of Light with the power of one country. In fact, basically on the continent of Light, except for the Duchy of Mun itself and some tribes on the border with the bitter and cold areas, most people believe that the Duchy of Mun is a group of nobles who are greedy for pleasure, and they only care about their own enjoyment and try their best to exploit the people. And those people have long been brainwashed by them and think that it is natural to be slaves... Look, what a pitiful group of people.
But many of them didn't know that the amount of money paid to the Dragon of Light every year by the Duchy of Moon accounts for one-third of the fiscal revenue of all the Dragon of Light. Moreover, they also use a brand completely different from other territories and declare that these gifts of loyalty to the Dragon of Light. As for the Dragon of Light Council? Or for the people of the Land of Light? Sorry, this is not our control. We have done our duty as a minister. So how can we use this money is the Dragon of Light, and it has nothing to do with us.
According to the Parliament of the Dragon Kingdom of Light, they should refuse this huge sum of money righteously at this time, because according to their words, this was the result of the evil nobles of Mun's oppression and exploitation of the vast majority of working people. Gold coins filled with blood and tears. They could not collect such dirty money.
But do they dare?
Every member of the Light Dragon Kingdom Parliament knew very well that as the richest principality of the Light Dragon Kingdom and the strongest economic strength, the money from Mun is the basis for truly supporting the existence of the Light Dragon Kingdom. If you really have the backbone and don’t want this money, then in a few years, the Light Dragon Kingdom will go bankrupt and disintegrate because of insufficient income... So even if the people don’t take the Light Dragon Kingdom Parliament seriously, they have to pinch their noses and accept it.
These old adult stories will be mentioned in the future and will return to the Holy Arena.
Although due to the above reasons, the Dragon of Light itself can no longer add color to this arena, but it has not declined here. Every few years, similar tests and trials will appear here, but unlike before, the winners here will become the glorious guardians of the Duchy of Moon - this is also an amazing title.
However, those who were qualified to enter the sacred arena in the past were those who had been famous for a long time and those with noble identities. For the mercenaries, although they also longed for this stage, they themselves knew very well. This was just a dream. They did not have the strength, nor did they have the qualification to enter the sacred stage.
But now, the dream has come true.
What excited the mercenaries even more was that they not only had the opportunity to step on this sacred stage, but also might even get glory that they could not even imagine in their dreams. While changing the venue of the festival, Lydia also declared to the entire Duchy of Moon in his own name. The winner of this Midsummer Festival will not only be able to obtain the sacred title of Guardian of Glory, but also be qualified to fulfill one of his own wishes.
Any wish is OK!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire principality was in an uproar.
You should know that Lydia is only sixteen or seventeen years old now. She is also beautiful and charming. Such a peerless girl admitted in public that she could realize the winner's "any wish" would be a normal man who would even start to dream of. There were even mercenaries who began to dream of becoming the winner. Could it be that if she became the winner, she could have a close contact with this beautiful and charming prince that he would never dare to think about? Or... If her wish was to marry her, wouldn't she have taken a big advantage!?
Ordinary mercenaries can think of this. Then of course, the four major mercenary guilds can even think of it.
Rhodes naturally knew very well.
only……………
"What do you think? Marlene?"
He put down the notice from the Mercenary Association Moon Association, and looked at Marin, who was sitting aside with a frown and showed a helpless expression.
"I don't know what your highness is thinking."
Marlin finally had to answer so helplessly when she asked Rhodes.
"The only thing I can say is that Your Highness is never the kind of person who makes decisions casually when he is hot... Of course, I admit that she often gives people the feeling of suddenly having a strange idea and then making a decision. But in fact, until everything is over, you will find that she has already planned it..."
"I understand what you mean."
Rhode also empathized with Marin's explanation, and in the game, the same is true for this. His high prince occasionally has many inexplicable ideas. Even in the battle against the Dark Dragon Kingdom, she would occasionally make some tasks that players would only make inexplicable minds that would be issued. Of course, as a player, as long as they can complete the task and get rewards, they don't care so much. But every time they complete those inexplicable tasks that seem to be off-line, they find that they have inadvertently made the best efforts for the advantage of the entire battle situation. It is precisely because of Lydia's releasing thinking and elusive tactics that the Duchy of Moon can withstand the Dark Dragon Kingdom for so long...
But in the end, she failed.
Rhode is very familiar with Lydia. It is precisely because he is too familiar with it that he always feels that the statement reveals a strong sense of conspiracy. Perhaps for others, Lydia's words are just a little girl's inadvertent misunderstanding, but Rhode is very clear that Lydia must have made plans long ago, so she said this on purpose.
Don't think that Archangel will not engage in conspiracy, this is the most unscientific idea.
What's more, there is also the mission of [Peak of Glory].
The contents inside are vague, and there are only a few sentences written in the taskbar.
"Get victory in the Midsummer Festival, return to the road to glory, and reappear the glory of loss."
In just a short sentence, there is no specific task goal or specific task reward. But Rhodes does not think this is an optional task, because from the color of this task, it can be seen that this is an elite task, and the reward for completing it must be very generous.
Not to mention, Lydia's promise...
Rhode put away the letter in his hand and stood up.
"Malin, are you ready?"
"It's almost done, we can set out anytime, Mr. Rhodes."
Hearing Rhodes’ words, Marlene quickly answered.
"very good."
Hearing this, Rhode nodded, then he walked to the door and opened the door.
"Then, it's time for us to leave."
Then, Rhode spoke very calmly.
