Chapter 1401 1373. White Rose
"It's a bit unbelievable."
Lan En looked at the red-haired sorceress in front of him and tilted his head.
"No matter who can make the 'Fearless rigold' hide and escape, anyone with the na of Magical Advisor to the Terian royal family in the northern kingdoms must also think twice about anyone who wants to cause trouble for you, right?"
"Of course it's like this normally, eh, normally." Triss reluctantly took her hand out of Lan En's.
If physical contact was maintained, she doubted how long her legs would be able to support her. After all, they were already a little weak.
The blushing sorceress pushed her burgundy hair behind her ears and sighed.
"If soone is maliciously looking for trouble, then I will definitely let him know how to respect others on the spot."
"But if that person is justified in his na, and even cos to trouble in accordance with the procedures and rules, then my na will make tied up."
The sorceress, who has always been an 'open, strong, and unrestrained' image in public opinion, of course cannot be truly unrestrained.
Triss was obsessed and seductive when she was around Lan En, but from the first half of her words, you knew that if anyone really made trouble for her, she would imdiately show off the anger of a sorceress.
But at the sa ti, since she enjoys the power of Teria's royal advisor, she is naturally restricted by this position.
The sorceress can cast spells to punish people because she loses her temper, because everyone knows the sorceress's style.
But with his identity and position, how can he still have the right to lose his temper at will?
"It's the Holy Council."
Speaking of this na, Triss sighed again and seed to have a headache.
But Lan En raised his eyebrows and almost figured out the idea of the matter in an instant.
Sure enough, Triss's next complaint completely confird Lan En's suspicion.
"The Council of the Templars is holding on to , and the Knights of the White Rose have filed a lawsuit against them for what we did in the Pontal Valley."
The sorceress flexed her fingers to show Lan En.
"First it was 'After the Ember Knights arrived in the Principality of Elland, they did not follow the etiquette to contact the Grand Duke and reveal their identity'. Then it was 'Concealing their identity and infiltrating the Grand Duke Airland's troops'."
"Finally, 'Kill five registered White Rose Knights and seize command of the army.'"
"They can't find you, they can't deal with Aretuza, and they can't enter Gos Velen at all. What else can they do? Can't they just hold on to in Vizima?"
The Holy Council is the organization responsible for managing the affairs of the Knights in Teria.
Because the founders and mbers of each knighthood are basically nobles or descendants of nobles, the managent of this kind of ard organization must of course be coordinated by an organization.
This is the rule in every country.
The power of this kind of knightly managent organization is not small. In order to win over the White Rose Knights, Duke Seeward of Elland granted fiefdoms to their knights and beca wealthy knights.
It’s a lot of effort to go to the church council eting.
The Holy Council not only holds the power to grant fiefdoms to mbers of the Knights, but also has many rules that need to be maintained.
For example, what Lan En led ten Ember Knights to do in Elland was indeed against the rules.
When entering a territory with an organized ard force, you must greet the local owner. Otherwise, who knows what you are here for?
But this is not a big deal. After all, Lan En was invited by Foltest to deal with the problem in the Pontar Valley.
He had already greeted the king. When he arrived, he found that the local lord was not dealing with him, so he simply refused to et him. This was not without precedent.
But for all matters, big or small, whether you want to pursue them or not depends mainly on whether they want to pursue them or not.
What's more, in the desperate situation at the ti, the Ember Knights actually killed five mbers of the White Rose Knights in a nearly execution thod. Then took over command.
"Break a thing into three steps, count each step separately, and then we have three tis the cri?"
Lan En was unfazed by the news brought by Triss, and even spoke a little boredly.
"They just want to annoy us, otherwise why would they use such boring thods?"
"Foltest ordered the Holy Council to supply the supplies here, but they didn't dare to miss any of them."
After the Battle of Soden Mountain, the Knights of Ember have been affiliated under the system of the Terian Temple Council in the na of the "Expatriate Knights of Sintra".
Today's castles and supplies are all assigned to the Ember Knights under this system.
Triss thought so too.
The Templar Council did not even deduct the daily supplies of the Ember Knights, even if it was a symbolic delay in the transportation process, it shows that in their eyes, this matter is just a statent.
They even stated that they went to Vizima Palace to find Triss, instead of going to High Hill Castle to directly find the Ember Knights.
"That's why I ca out to hide from people." The sorceress spread her hands.
"I had to see the people from the Holy Council. They didn't say anything bad after they ca, but they just wanted to take up ti and pester . Of course, the old man thought I didn't see the way he looked at ."
"I have never seen a group of Holy Council mbers pay so much attention to conflicts between knights."
"I think it's the Knights of the White Rose. They may have put a lot of effort into the Council of the Temple for the honor of the Knights this ti."
"The Knights of the White Rose," ntioned the na again, but Lan En frowned slightly and pondered. "They reacted very loudly and violently?"
"How could it not be intense?" Triss looked at Lan En in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe why he would ask such a question. "You have stepped on the honor of their knighthood into a pit!"
"You killed other people's knights as if they were executed, and you still expect them not to fight back?"
The witcher scratched his head and said nothing.
But Lan Enxin said: I was on the battlefield with the Ember Knights on Soden Mountain, and I didn’t know how many knights ran over them directly, and I didn’t see them dare to stand in front of and say anything about ‘counterattack’.
I killed them on the battlefield without even reacting. Who knew that their honor would be 'jeopardized' by killing a few knights in an execution style?
But on the other hand, although Lan En is not able to substitute for this kind of magical dieval knighthood, he can understand this idea from an objective perspective.
‘Insult’ equals ‘mortal enemy’. This equation has appeared in many places in many periods.
On the other hand, the belief currently prevalent within the Knights of the White Rose seems to be the eternal fire?
Thinking of this, Lan En looked outside the castle wall thoughtfully.
Gaoqiu Castle is a castle built for military purposes, which is different from the manor residential castle style built by the great nobles for tradition and comfort.
The main body of the castle is made of large rocks, and the walls are not windows with sash, but more narrow and wide-open shooting holes.
It's cold in winter and hot in sumr, but it's convenient for combat and observation.
Looking out from the long shooting hole, on this hill, the Wellen area's inaccessible terrain with wild vegetation and wild vegetation can be seen because it is difficult to develop.
At a glance, even with Lan En's eyesight, there are no traces of human activity.
Rich biological activities have left too many traces.
For example, there is a hill far away from the hill where Gaoqiu Castle is located, and a group of harpies are hovering on it.
‘There are more monsters than people in this hellish place in Velen’, except around Goth Velen, this saying is probably true.
"I heard." Triss looked at Lan En seriously, "When you ca here, you found soone staring at this place?"
"This is really chilling, but don't worry, now you have a powerful sorceress in your crowded little castle and so on."
Halfway through speaking with a little pride and teasing, the sorceress suddenly raised her head and looked at the witcher who was looking thoughtfully out of the observation hole in the castle wall.
"What you asked just now, didn't you think that the people staring here are the Knights of the White Rose?"
"I just thought of it." Lan En did not deny this statent. "The Church of Eternal Fire's propaganda has beco more and more radical in recent years. It's hard to say how many fanatics there are in the Knights of the White Rose."
The Church of Eternal Fire was initially a very tolerant and moderate belief, but in an increasingly chaotic and cruel world, radical beliefs are the most attractive to people.
So much so that today, Eternal Fire has beco an out-and-out extre radical church.
They produce fanatics, and the fanatics are transfused back into the church. The situation is getting worse like a wild horse running wild.
"Fanatical believers." Triss had a headache when she heard the word, and she covered her forehead, "But after all, that is a knightly order officially registered with the Holy Council! How dare they send troops to fight in private?"
"Honorary madman, religious madman, or simply two madn combined into one person. I think the atmosphere in the Knights of the White Rose is quite suitable for the birth of such a character, isn't it?"
Triss had a headache, but Lan En whispered with a mocking smile.
"Furthermore, if they really defeat the Ember Knights, can the Templar Council really punish them?"
"It's more likely to be a small punishnt but a big reward, right? Maybe a fine of not too high or too low, and then the Knights' fiefdom that Siward has been running away for several years will be handed down quietly?"
The Knights of Ember are the top knights created through war, so all participating countries recognize them.
And if there is a knighthood in Teria that can break the High Hill Castle, it would be strange that the Holy Council would jump up in displeasure.
Putting aside whether the hard power is up to standard or not, this reputation must be secured first.
"But they don't know that you are here now."
Triss glanced at the demon hunter beside her and said without much worry.
"I guess I thought you would be distracted on Thanide Island and unable to get away. I wonder what happened here?"
