To Four Thousand Years Later
Vol 3 Chapter 12: Cuckoo and the Witch
Before the sun rose, blood and chaos erupted in the castle.
On the first night when Prince Charles returned to Asia, a horrific and cruel assassination took place in Frank's royal court.
Pepin III and Carloman unfortunately died. Prince Charles barely survived the death on the spot under the rescue of the former archbishop and current Frankish intellectual leader Tupin, but he is still in a coma.
In the discussion of the nobles, the conspiracy that happened last night was gradually restored. It was a young servant girl who had assassinated their king, and one of the two princes who should have been. She was only sixteen years old, three years before she had been sent to serve the King and Prince Carloman. There were hardly any traces of her previous life. It's like from birth. Just been hiding at home all the time, almost without any social activities. If it hadn't been discovered by Tu Ping on the spot. Even the most well-informed nobles probably wouldn't know her name. But her father is very famous.
His name was Juivari Povato, and he was a marquis in charge of the eastern frontier. His character was not good in the past. A strange death. What actually happened. And his eldest daughter was also in the fourth year of marrying a certain inland nobleman, and the eldest son of that nobleman died of wind and cold. And two years later, when her husband was hunting wild boars, he was killed by wild boars because of operational errors.
So the title fell to her.
Most worthy of being talked about was when, about ten months after her husband's death, she gave birth to a boy. Many people suspected that this boy was not the child of that nobleman, but a child of a groom or a guard... But after all, the whole family of that nobleman died, and the bloodline of the child could not be identified. So the Marquis of Povatou. In the past, it was secretly nicknamed "Dujuanhou" by people.
Since then, no one dared to marry his daughter. So he had no choice but to send his fourteen-year-old second daughter to the royal court to spend the next half of her life as the king's maid.
Only then did people realize it. The wife Marquis Du Juan married was the second daughter of a great nobleman in the Gothic Kingdom.
She has Gothic blood!
She must be a witch—not only Dujuanhou's wife is a witch. His two daughters must have been witches too! Otherwise, how could he only have a daughter, and the eldest daughter's husband died so strangely?
Caught the "Handmaiden Attempting to Assassinate" in Turpin. And after directly testing her identity, such thoughts immediately rose in the hearts of the nobles. After identifying the real murderer. People say what they say. Started adding to her "weirdness"
Not only is she usually withdrawn and does not interact with others; think about it carefully, she came to the Frankish royal court two and a half years ago. And three years ago was the day when Prince Charles won the siege of Spanish wizards, and three years after she came to the royal court, Buping III happened to suffer from edema—how could such a coincidence be?
Moreover, when Marquis Du Juan didn't inherit the throne...
Of course, among the countless true or false charges, only one will be constantly mentioned. That is she is a goth. She has the blood of the Goths—in the eyes of the Frankish nobles, it is a black barrier country that rejected Solomonism and turned to paganism, and there is more than one paganism! People of Gothic origin can curse a little and mix poison, is there anything strange?
The nobles are so sure. The Gothic Kingdom surrounded the Frankish Kingdom in the west, south and southeast, which allowed the Franks to avoid direct contact with the Persians in the east, the Egyptians in the south, and the Carthaginians in the southwest. The northern countries are all different from the Falk Kingdom, which is full of chickens. The international situation in Gothic is not so good.
The land of the Goths covers a wide area. The westernmost point is the Iberian Peninsula, the place where Rome was distributed, and the easternmost point is the location where Tyre used to be. As the country with the most complete preservation of the culture of the Roman countries in the past, it also faced the greatest pressure. Gothic borders Frank on the north, three extremely powerful Egypts on the south, the kingdom of Carthage on the west of Egypt, the Persians who snatched half of the Arabian Peninsula from the Egyptians on the east, and the kingdom of Wales across the sea to the north see. It can be said to be surrounded by powerful enemies. While facing three powerful enemies at the same time. The Goths rarely waged large-scale wars against the Franks. Usually, intermarriage and other methods are used to establish alliances. To prevent the enemy from the front and back - but after the Goths stopped their wars against other countries, they will more or less turn their spearheads around and put them on the Franks' necks. Simultaneous with the crazy expansion of the military, the Goths, who claim to be Roman orthodox, are the most tolerant of culture. They are prevalent in power doctrine, do not pay attention to background and virtue, but attach great importance to personal ability.
The Gothic king promoted a large number of condemned prisoners as nobles, and turned many nobles into condemned prisoners; he also made the Persian priests, the orthodox Solomons who inherited the knowledge of Druid's poison and curse knowledge, And the Solomon Protestants who regard Solomon as the **** of Thoth are in the same hall, and they are enshrined in the court hall as "masters". So. Only in Gothic can there be "truth religion", a belief culture that mixes many countries. Even the place where Protestantism seems chaotic and ridiculous. You know, the former Druids were all wiped out before the St. Augustus Federation disintegrated.
These conservative sects who refused to record knowledge, believed that knowledge must be kept pure and secret, and needed to be passed on orally, were vulnerable to the public knowledge and rapid development of Solomonism. Later, some refugees in Spain found the knowledge of cursing and dispensing . It was only then that the Druid's inheritance was partially revived... and after they re-screened knowledge based on pragmatism, they relied on two kinds of knowledge, medicine and curse, to give birth to the two professions of wizards and witches. As for their internal strife and split into two tribes, the tribe that remained in Spain was wiped out by Prince Charles, which is a story in recent years.
Only the pagan king of Goth in the whole world would accept witches, a group full of mystery and danger. How many people has he assassinated with these beautiful girl assassins. It is still unknown, after all, no one knows what the corpses that were cursed or poisoned by the witches look like.
And now. People saw it.
At least, they think since 2 saw it.
