Chapter 23 Clayton’s Secret
Clayton spoke: "I used to be a royalist in the army, but in fact, I hate the royal family."
As a member of the Royal Guards, no matter what his personal wishes were, his position destined him to be a gun in the hands of the royalists.
The Kingdom of Dorne did not evolve into a republic like Mirenti and Trelles;
In order to maintain the status quo and safeguard the royal power, the country has had many internal wars, and the various parties are still secretly competing with each other.
However, the ghost shook his head and said: "It sounds important, but it is not a big secret. Because even if it was said at the time, it would not change anything. There are many people like you, so it is just a personal idea. The reason why the secret is It’s called a secret because it needs to be kept secret, and once told, it will change your life.”
Clayton raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Maybe, then let me tell you something else."
"Before coming to Sasha City, I was a veteran who participated in the entire Rolon War. After the war, I and the troops held a victory parade in the capital Yaxin City. The royal family sent a banquet through my commander The invitation was signed by Queen Ursula I. I claimed to be ill and did not accept the invitation, but in fact I faked the illness so as not to see the Queen. In the end, I don’t know why she invited me.”
At this time, the ghost evaluator was also stunned: "This secret is really amazing, and you are really an amazing person. Do you need me to remind you what kind of opportunity you missed?"
"Please tell me, I'm also curious about how my immediate boss will look amused when he hears that I'm sick."
"You missed the investiture ceremony. In the past, the king would sometimes select warriors who had made military achievements to participate in the banquet, and then grant them the noble title of knight, leading them to understand the truth of the world. But he would not explain this in the invitation in advance. It's an unspoken rule. They will invite more than one warrior, and then select the strongest and toughest loyalist on the spot to teach them the sword. If you ask for sick leave and refuse to be invited, it is equivalent to stating that you do not meet those conditions, and this is also a disservice to Ursula I. The humiliation, you will no longer have the possibility of hunting for a title."
The ghost doesn't care about titles and honors. For his current state of losing most of his sensory organs, the only thing that can make him feel happy is the moment when his thirst for knowledge is satisfied.
But for ordinary people, those things are still very tempting.
He was curious about Clayton's reaction after knowing the result.
"It sounds like there is really no need to accept the appointment." Clayton's reaction was flat.
"Seeing Her Majesty the Queen's words with my own eyes, I might be so sick that I would vomit. Then it might be worse than now."
"You think she's ugly?" asked the ghost.
Clayton spread his hands: "Her face is on the banknotes, and I won't deny the fact that Her Majesty the Queen is beautiful because of emotion. But she is a liar, and because of her, many people have died on the road to pursuing false glory. I happen to be on good terms with a few of these idiots.”
"I see."
"I have one more question. But I'm not sure my secret is enough to pay for it."
The ghost was very tolerant this time: "I support credit here. If your secrets are not valuable enough, you can collect more later."
"The Holy Grail Order sent some people with darkin appearances, but they are definitely not darkin. They look tortured. How did the Holy Grail Order make them look like that?"
Clayton couldn't forget the deformed watchers,
Although they were ordered to monitor them, it was not loyalty that drove them, but a secret pain.
"The value of this information is not high, I think you can afford it." The ghost evaluator's voice was full of emotion: "That is the secret technique of the Holy Grail Society, they call it the blood of desire."
"Since the departure of the Dark Moon of the old era, the Holy Grail Prophet Xililu was expelled from the Far Yemas by the King's Hall. Their choice was to bring many secrets of the White Religion to the dark descendants, including the Inquisition's investigation of the dark descendants' body structure. research data.”
"At that time, in order to refute the views of Maester Vaness, the author of "Theory of Species", on "reproductive isolation", the Heretic Tribunal used a very cruel method to conduct research in an attempt to deny the impurity of human beings. To this end, they arrested many people with clear identities. Dark descendants transformed from humans, there are also some humans who were only half-transformed due to the departure of the Dark Moon, prisoners extracted from heavy prisons who were admitted to be the worst offenders, and even abandoned babies from various countries were secretly collected for research."
"They repeatedly experimented with the process of Darkin transformation, and did get some disturbing results. Some priests' beliefs were shaken, and they began to think that their experiments were cruel massacres. So the concept was inevitably replaced by the Holy Grail Order's view of the source of wisdom and life. They were attracted by the interpretation that was different from the mainstream of the King's Hall, so they defected with their research results."
The ghost's tone was calm, and he did not condemn these things, nor did he accuse the predecessors of their ignorance.
He was just retelling that period of history:
"The Blood of Desire is one of the research results of those transformation experiments. It is the closest to success, but it cannot create real dark descendants. It can only create those half-humans that are not recognized by both parties. This is also the reason why the Holy Grail Society later One of the reasons why it lost its status among dark descendants. However, some people still think this technology is profitable, so they are still studying this secret technique."
Clayton recalled the look in the Harpy's eyes and was finally able to understand her.
The Holy Grail will create these monsters to work for itself, and the reward is probably to completely restore them to humans or completely turn them into dark descendants.
However, based on his experience, both of these rewards are likely to be unavailable.
Maybe the harpy girl was also aware of this, but couldn't make up her mind, so she hoped to get to know her by shooting herself.
"It's your turn," the ghost urged.
Clayton came back to his senses and cleared his throat. He knew that he had to pay the intelligence fee, but he still felt a little ashamed to tell the following secret:
"In the direct battle with the Taunton Knights, I actually never won once. The only one-on-one duel was almost stabbed through the heart by the opponent, and I didn't win in the end. But the people watching all boasted that I had won. There were so many rumors later that I was even promoted to a first-level official."
When he was serving in Loren, he always considered himself a master of spear and saber.
Until he was drunk in a tavern and was instigated by another drunkard. He led his horse and several drunkards to the cavalry camp in Taunton to call for battle. As a result, the other side actually sent a knight to challenge him.
The ghost asked him curiously: "You are a sealed one, so that means you were still a human being in terms of physical fitness at that time, at most it was only a little beyond."
Before the emergence of the Chasseurs, Taunton's knights were the only organized extraordinary arms on the battlefields of various countries.
It's not that other countries lack extraordinary people, but that on battlefields where guns and cannons are common, few extraordinary people are willing to take part in person.
Rather than risking their lives to fight, most extraordinary beings hope to let ordinary people serve as soldiers to gain profits in the colonies, while they take advantage of extraordinary beings to redistribute resources in an environment where guns are prohibited in the country.
Taunton's special situation is related to their country's traditional mercenary culture, which cannot be copied.
It is actually a great thing that Clayton Bello can duel with their knights as an ordinary person and survive.
"Yes, and we didn't ride horses at that time, we were just fighting in close quarters. My opponent wore iron armor that day, and mine was cotton armor." Clayton only remembered that scene after he woke up. The duel didn't seem fair.
"I want to know how you survived." The ghost asked with interest.
"In fact, because it was the Founding Day, the two of us privately agreed to a truce to celebrate the festival, so those Taunton people were actually very drunk during the celebration, but it does not mean that they would hold back in the duel because of this. I I lost miserably. My opponent was much faster and more skilled than me. Within a few rounds, he pierced my cotton armor and the water bottle in my clothes with a spear, and the spearhead broke inside. , I was bleeding profusely, and of course I swung my spear at him a few times, but he blocked it with the rest of my spear. I can’t remember what happened next, but the duel gradually turned into a wrestling match.”
The werewolf recalled that experience painfully: "My opponent's skills were not as good as mine, but he was very strong. I was beaten so hard by him that he fell on the ground. When I finally found a chance to suppress him, I felt so sick in my stomach. But I couldn't help it anymore. I vomited on his face and he suffocated in the helmet. Until I recovered, he was still trying to take off the helmet and clean the ventilation holes and the window. I didn't have time to punch him a few times. People separated us.”
"My opponent was unconscious that day because he couldn't breathe, and I spent the holiday with the nurses in the field hospital with bleeding and broken bones."
"There was no winner in that duel," Clayton said solemnly.
Later, when he met the Taunton cavalry again on the battlefield, he had become a small officer who could lead thirty people. Under his leadership, his subordinates did not make any plans to try to approach the group of monsters, both men and horses wearing armor. Melee tactics, they struggled to win by other means. The same goes for other cavalry units.
Now he preferred to call himself an expert in grenades rather than spears and sabers.
There was something wrong with the computer. Fortunately, I caught up. There will be another update tonight.
