    "Do you still remember the bet we had in the King's Treasure House?"

    In silence, Wang Lu asked Aya while groping for the mustard seed bag.

    Aya was stunned. Of course she remembered the bet. When facing the military god Tanu, Wang Lu once said that he could delay the opponent's army with one person and win construction opportunities for the hard workers he recruited. Then the two made an agreement.  As for the bet, if Wang Lu could do it, Aya promised him something, but Wang Lu didn't mention it at the time, so she let it go.

    When she mentioned it at this time, Aya felt embarrassed. Chivalry required her to keep her promise, but it would be ridiculous to give up her persistence for such a reason.

    Fortunately, Wang Lu didn't intend to be so rude and direct.

    "If the bet is still valid, I hope you can walk around Bredonia with me, traveling incognito, just to leave some unforgettable memories for my trip to the West."

    Aya was startled, she really didn¡¯t expect that Wang Lu would make such a request. Although she knew that he must have an agenda behind it, but thinking of what he had done for her these days, this simple request made it difficult for her to refuse.

    "Okay, as long as you don't dislike me as a tour guide who hasn't been back for more than a hundred years and can no longer keep up with the changes in things." Aya smiled softly, feeling a little sad when she thought about having to part with Wang Lu in the future.

    Wang Lu said: "Don't worry, even if you don't come back for a thousand or ten thousand years, some things will not change This time it won't take you too long, a month is enough?"

    "Of course, as long as you ask, even a year is fine."

    Wang Lu whispered to himself: "How can this medicine last so long?"

    In fact, Aya is eager to return home.

    She was a little dissatisfied with being teleported directly from Dragon City to King's Treasure House by Wang Lu. At that time, the Bretonians had just won two crucial battles, almost uprooting the influence of the Holy Light Sect in the local area.  , the next step is time to comprehensively consolidate the results of the war and stabilize the political power, and as the daughter of the King of Bretonnia her role is irreplaceable.

    Even though the people with real political influence in Bretonnia have been Bedivere and many other nobles for more than a hundred years, the reputation of the Knight King is still at its peak and has never faded.  Her appeal can speed up the restoration process of Bretonia a lot, but Wang Lu has to do it at this time

    His intention was to give up the throne and return to Kyushu with him, but on this point, he really couldn't give in. Although Aya had experienced too many ups and downs in her life, she could never let go of her mission as a king.

    " But if it's Wang Lu, if it's just a month, then let him.  The woman thought with relief.

    The first stop of the trip was in a remote mountainous area because Wang Lu said he had seen enough of the prosperity of big cities.

    The scenery in the remote areas of Bretonia was actually lackluster. After walking in the mountains for half a day, the two stopped in a village.  And even in this remote small village, the great changes that have taken place in Bretonnia have been reflected, and a vigorous vitality runs through it.

    The two stayed at a simple inn in the village and received very warm hospitality. According to the villagers, the village was indeed as happy as a festival these days.  Because a lord who once relied on the power of the church to dominate the neighborhood was publicly beheaded by knights from Dragon City not long ago. The dark clouds that had been hovering above people's heads for many years were suddenly swept away.

    This matter aroused Aya's interest. After asking in detail, she learned that the knight who killed the lord was one of Bedivere's Dragon City guards and the newly appointed local lord.  So with Wang Lu's consent, the two came to the city where the lord was.

    Arriving in the city is a different scene. The change between the old and new regimes is particularly obvious here. There are many traces of war in the city. Half of the most luxurious castle was destroyed, and the church next to the castle was also cut off. Obviously, the lords here and  Church forces had resisted.  In addition, the original lords were purged and many shops and workshops were destroyed or closed down.

    The most discussed topic in the city is the rise of Dragon City and the return of the King of Knights.  Most people are happy to hear about this and are full of confidence in the future. There is a vibrant scene in the city.  And the spirit of chivalry is even more popular. You can see many people dressed as knights walking on the street. Some are real knights following the Dragon City Guards on patrol. Of course, there are more arty imitations by some good people. There are also many  They are speculators and behind the chaos, it shows that chivalry has flourished here as never before, which makes Aya overjoyed.

    "I knew that Bretonnia was a country of knights, and the spirit of chivalry would definitely shine everywhere."

    Wang Lu smiled lightly: "Is it like the holy light shining in all directions?"

    Aya was so excited that she did not hear the sarcasm behind the question, but nodded seriously: "It will be more prosperous than the Holy Light Religion in the past, it will definitely be.""Really? After seeing the bright side, let's also take a look at the dark side."

    Wang Lu said, and used a confusing spell on a patrolling soldier on the street: "How did you deal with the reactionaries no, the church people?"

    The soldier replied in a daze: "It's locked in the underground of the cathedral. It used to be the place where the inquisition was. People in the church used to judge heretics. Now it's their turn to be judged."

    "That place can't hold too many people, right? What else?"

    "There are too many traitors in the church and the vassal churches, and the underground inquisition cannot lock them up. Some of them are thrown into prisons in the city, and many others are simply killed. Anyway, they have been corrupted and polluted, and they all have original sin."

    "Original sin?" Aya frowned, very dissatisfied with this explanation.

    Wang Lu asked: "You mean they used to bully men and dominate women, and did many evil things?"

    The confused soldier thought for a while and replied: "Some are yes, and some are not sure whether they have been done or not, but they are members of the church after all, and there is nothing wrong with punishing them for their sins."

    "What kind of reason is this? It's simply ridiculous and doesn't ask right from wrong."

    Aya became angry at that time, but Wang Lu stopped her: "Why bother with a big-headed soldier? And what you hear is false, and what you see is belief."

    Then the two people believed what they saw, and under the cover of magic, they sneaked to the original tribunal underground of the cathedral. What they heard and saw made Aya feel horrified.

    ¡° Inside the tribunal, there are countless instruments of torture, which were once proof of the Holy Light¡¯s dominance over the land of Bretonia.  However, the knights who have now replaced them with holy light have picked up these cruel instruments of torture and used them on people one by one.

    Most of the victims were members of the church, powerful bishops, and young priests But a considerable number of them were obviously just ordinary believers, but they were brutally nailed to the torture device at this time.  Free between life and death.

    What makes Aya even more outrageous is that some nuns from the church were brutally abused here, and the process was unsightly.

    Aya trembled with anger, and then took away the mobile phones of several leaders with a sword. Blood and brains splattered all over the room, the nuns screamed, and the scene was chaotic.

    Wang Lu smiled sarcastically: "Oh, the spirit of chivalry is indeed spreading everywhere."

    Aya didn¡¯t say a word, and her sword never returned to its sheath.

    Wang Lu patted her shoulder: "I will take care of the next thing. Don't show your face. Your identity is sensitive.

    Aya stared at Wang Lu for a long time and nodded slowly.

    Then, Wang Lu single-handedly swept through many guards and went directly to the city lord's palace to meet the new lord.

    It just so happened that the lord also recognized Wang Lu, and the two had met several times in Dragon City.

    However, there was no greeting during this meeting. Wang Lu bluntly questioned what the Inquisition had seen and heard. The lord was also shocked when he heard this. He explained that he had just established a foothold here and was waiting for something to be done, so he didn't care too much.  Details on top and bottom.  When pressed further, he explained with a wry smile that he had landed here with too few people at his disposal. Currently, most of the people currently used to maintain order in the city are still the same people, good and bad.  When political power changes, people's hearts fluctuate, and extreme incidents will inevitably occur. However, he promised that management will be strengthened to prevent such crazy incidents from happening again.

    Wang Lu smiled and said nothing, and Aya, who was hiding behind the scenes, reluctantly accepted this explanation, and the matter was barely revealed.

    After that, they stayed in the city for half a month, using Wang Lu's illusion and Aya's legendary power to perfectly hide their whereabouts, as if they were hiding in the city. During this period, they carefully observed the changes in the city.

    The new lord did not break his promise. After that day, he comprehensively strengthened the management of the city. Several people who took the lead in committing evil were beheaded in public as a warning to others.

    But the situation has not substantially improved. The exclusion and oppression of the remaining forces of the Holy Light Religion is still shocking. Many of the church's legitimate properties have been plundered, and people close to the church have been subjected to unbearable bullying. Injurious incidents occur from time to time. Although  He restrained himself under the repeated orders of the new lord, but he was obviously unwilling to do so.

    Aya¡¯s initial anger, dissatisfaction, and injustice gradually turned into confusion.

    "Why did things become like this?"

    The new lord is not an evil person. On the contrary, after taking office, he works hard and works hard, but many things still quickly deviate from the track of development, which makes Aya very confused.

    Hearing that she was finally willing to ask questions humbly, Wang Lu explained to her seriously: "Regime change will inevitably be accompanied by the redistribution of resources."

    "But it shouldn't be so unreasonable and tantamount to robbery"

    "The truth? Whose truth?"

    Aya said seriously: "In the spirit of chivalry, justice isThis Creed.  "

    Wang Lu said: "That is the spirit of chivalry, not the objective existence of human hearts. The current suppression and even persecution of the Holy Light Religion, and the insatiable greed in the redistribution of interests are not the case of a certain person or two people, but a group.  drive"

    Aya said: "Yes, the objectively existing human heart is far from perfect, but the value of chivalry lies in its ability to infect others and transform the illusory spirit into real human hearts. A hundred years ago, I fought in all directions and never left such a legacy.  the mess¡±

    "Are you blaming the poor new lord for not being able to do what you want?"

    "He" Aya was speechless. Of course, she couldn't ask everyone to do what she did.

    "Moreover, even you yourself are not omnipotent. Don't forget that more than a hundred years ago, the ancestors of these greedy and ignorant civilians were infected by your chivalry."

    Aya sneered: "You are sophistry."

    "Yes, I am sophistry, but the truth is a good one. There are three major illusions in the world: I can fight back, she is interested in me, and I can change people's hearts. But you are making the third mistake."
