Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

Chapter 164 Wholesale of Holy Relics

"There is indeed something about that man. I have seen some of the traces he left, so I am sure it is true, but I have not met him directly. There was a period of time between the two of us. "

In fact, there is also a subtle fate between Orville and the other party. When Orville was still the leader of the Palfi rebels, he was pushed out to serve as the temporary governor of a place. To say that his status was a bit high, he went out to defend the Holy Land. One of the "Ten Generals" of the city, the place where he took office as governor to organize defense was called Mel. In fact, its name in the original world was Galilee.

This place is only a few thousand square kilometers and does not have particularly important strategic resources, but it is quite famous because it is the legendary hometown of Jesus Christ.

It turns out that Orville actually had a very bad impression of this person. As mentioned earlier, most people in Palphi regard Christianity as a heretical religion and are very hostile to each other. In the end, the prophet died after being tried by the Parphis and found guilty of treason. Of course, Orwell doesn't care now, and even thinks that Christianity has more enlightened aspects.

"Since he is such a powerful Chosen One, why was he executed by you Romans? Can you find a way to suppress the Chosen One? I heard that he seemed to have no resistance."

Obviously Astolfo didn't know these details and regarded the beliefs of the Palphi people and the beliefs of the Eternals in other places as one big category. Orville was not the kind of defender who didn't care and continued to answer the other party's questions. .

"He may be one of the most powerful chosen ones in history. I think such a person can only be killed by others if he voluntarily wants to be killed. Since he was executed by us, he should be voluntary. "Killed."

To give an inappropriate example, generally speaking, the strongest gifted person is probably around the level of Captain America. They can be jokingly called Roman Superman or Germanic Superman, but sometimes those chosen by God are really like Superman.

The Chosen One is an existence that transcends common sense and specifications. This is something Orville has verified from Jeanne. Roman and Greek records of history are relatively mature, and naturally they also record many stories about the Chosen One. The original mythical era of this There are even supernatural creatures such as Warcraft in the world. Those macho men and women seem to be able to tear apart Warcraft and break through the city alone. They look like humanoid Gundams descending to the earth, and gods fighting.

Considering the overwhelming popularity of Jesus Christ in later generations, as the Chosen One, he should undoubtedly be among the strongest. At least Orville is sure that some of his miracles were actually performed.

Healing injuries, generating food out of thin air, transforming matter, and walking on water. It sounds very powerful anyway, without showing his own force, but Orville tends to think that the opponent's force value is not low. After all, the main ability is "clairvoyance" Jean Nadu also has a good force value, you can know it from this exchange.

Astolfo rolled his eyes after hearing this, obviously planning something: "Then does he have anything left? I really want to see it. It is said that things touched by the Chosen One will also be contaminated with some supernatural powers. I want to collect some of my power, and I can exchange it with you for the money I have in the Frankish Kingdom.”

Orville simply shook his head, indicating that he had none.

In fact, although he did not have any in his hands, he knew where these things were, and they were just lying in Herod's royal treasury to eat ashes. The Herodian royal family also collected the prophet's belongings for similar reasons, and they were well preserved.

The most famous of these relics should be the miraculous Spear of Longinus and the True Cross passed down from later generations. One is the spear that stabbed Jesus to death, and the other is the True Cross on which Jesus was hung. In later medieval times, these two things became The difference between He's Bi and Chuan Guo's Jade Seal may be that they are easier to forge.

Although the True Cross is large enough to hang people on, according to incomplete statistics, various people throughout history claimed that the fragments of the True Cross they held could be assembled into a boat.

The Spear of Longinus was better, it was just a frequent visitor in various legends. Orville thought that Astolfo might have asked him for the relic for the same reason, and it might have something to do with Charlemagne, who didn't appear.

Legend has it that Charlemagne's sword, Geius, was fused with the tip of the Spear of Longinus. Of course, this is probably not true in history, but it has been mentioned repeatedly in many legends, such as in the Middle Ages. The Song of Roland, a collection of martial arts poems, devotes a large space to the holy sword Jiyos.

Although he didn't hate the other person, he was not familiar with Astolfo. The most important thing was that he didn't have any common interests, so he had no reason to help the other person, so he just pretended to be dumbfounded. Anyway, there are only a few people who know the specific location of the relic now. The other party couldn't dig it out even if they didn't find the right way. After the Parphy War, the Herodian royal family's ability to hide their own small treasury has reached an advanced level. I'm afraid of blowing gold coins to others.

The offensive continued peacefully for a while. Boudica's troops had just joined him. Orville inspected the troops brought by the opponent with a critical eye. To be honest, it was better than the barbaric and primitive image he had imagined. a lot of.

He is not an omniscient person. There must be things he doesn't know. His knowledge reserve is not that scary. He remembers everything as clearly as if it were imprinted in his mind. Things related to the Celtics here were only discovered after time travel. The first to make up for it were the recorded texts of the Romans.

Obviously, the text described the British barbarians as a little too barbaric, saying that they would cut off people's breasts and sew them to their mouths, and make jigsaw puzzles to create art. Orwell was a little speechless after reading it.

Since there was no objective and fair material at all, and was influenced by biased materials, although he knew that there would be exaggerations in the text, he still underestimated the overall level of these British Celts. They were not that bad. At least everyone's three views were still the three views of normal humans, and they were more or less civilized.

Of course, if Orwell had a deeper understanding, he could only say that there were some, but not much. The other party still had many backward customs from ancient times, and the content could only be said to be unspeakable to outsiders.

I don't know how the Celtic barbarians in the original world were, but at least the Celtic barbarians in this world already had cavalry and serious heavy infantry. Chariots gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Although light infantry was very important, it was not the only type of soldier. Thanks to this, the fighting power of these tall warriors seems to be good, at least Orville thinks they are useful, and the key point is that they all have hatred for the Germans in their hearts, and their fighting willpower can exceed their own level and reach a considerable level.

I found that there was a problem with the order of the previous chapters, but I couldn't change the chapter name, so I used this one as the standard again.
