Chapter 1112: Bastard Reciting Sutras, Won’t Listen, Won’t Listen

This is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

In this era, although there were many incidents that affected the majesty of the royal family, the biggest being the Patricide of Alsace, the deep-rooted royal power of more than 2,800 years still deeply affected the vast majority of the people.

They blindly believed in the king and firmly believed that it was only natural that they were loyal to the king and serve the lord.

Therefore, the matter of righteousness and honor is very important.

At that time, Ryan and Anduin discussed that if Duke wanted to establish a country on his own, they would give Duke independence. That was something only the small circle at the top of the kingdom knew. Later, when Lane died, the last words he left behind said that Duke had the right to depose the king. In the hearts of the people, this was more like a manifestation of Lane's fairness and self-effacement. No one thought that when Duke really wanted to fulfill the above terms, everyone would have What a reaction.

The people only know how awesome their own country's Grand Duke Duke is, and all their pride is based on the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Precisely because in the past twenty years, Duke and Ryan have been intentionally or unintentionally created as a close-knit monarch and minister, and Duke has been portrayed as the most loyal minister in the world. Although Duke has never been so conscious, invisibly, they still have a close relationship. There are certain constraints on Duke.

This is a matter of image.

Now that the serious current king Varian is issuing such a declaration, it is absolutely detrimental to Duke. After all, Duke is still nominally Varian's vassal.

Duke said he wanted to limit the power of the nobles, but the king turned back and said no. Once a fight broke out, no matter what, at least it would not be a blessing to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

At least in terms of public opinion, the direction of the trend has become somewhat chaotic.

In the secret room of Stormwind Fortress, Bolvar kept apologizing to Duke: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry Duke! It's my fault! But I really can't think of any way to prevent them from meeting His Majesty. His Majesty's ears are soft, I don’t know why he suddenly agreed to issue such a declaration. Alas, I will go and persuade Your Majesty again.”

Duke grabbed Bolvar and said, "There's no need to go. I don't care what your Majesty does. As long as you don't worry about your grudge against me, I'll be happy."

"Grudge..." Bolvar sat down a little dejectedly: "Well, I must admit that after you returned again, I had complaints about you in my heart. The late king was assassinated, and Lothar and I were the ones who supported him for many times. Yes. Of course I know that you are stuck outside for the sake of the alliance and even for the sake of this world, but I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Well, I'm sorry, I've neglected the development of Stormwind Kingdom a little bit over the years." Duke also sighed.

"Please forgive me. After you came back, I got a little angry with you. After all, I was thinking that if you were here, this kind of thing would not happen. Looking back now, I actually blame myself for my incompetence. Excuse."

Dare to act boldly, Bolvar is still the same Bolvar who is known as the role model of the Paladin.

Duke gently patted Bolvar on the shoulder: "Everyone has their own things they are good at and things they are not good at. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Anyway, now... the other His Majesty Varian has also been found and ensured safety."

"Then, what will your two majesties do now..."

Duke also has a headache!

There is quite unscientific logic in the history of Varian splitting and then reuniting into one. The Black Dragon Princess's attack modes are so diverse, how can he judge that it is a magic that can restore Varian to his original appearance, rather than the famous [Deep Breath]?

In reality, there would be no such eye-catching reminder as "Onyxia took a deep breath."

Who knows if it was a big mouthful of dragon breath or an ordinary puff of turbid breath.

After all, the last time Duke dealt with Deathwing, he just let the four dragon kings take the lead and finish the last blow. Duke himself has no experience in directly fighting a demigod-level dragon. Many things can only be tried once. Only with system data can he make more accurate judgments.

Duke pondered for a while and finally said: "This is a kind of evil spell magic. The most convenient and quickest way is to find the caster. Fortunately, we all know where she is. This is also the one I have been secretly promoting since my return. The reason for the plan.”

Bolvar's eyes brightened, but then he thought of something: "There is another question, about His Majesty's declaration..."

Duke smiled mysteriously: "If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. During this period, as long as I don't die, don't worry about me."

Bolvar thought of the nobles who gathered around the Black Dragon Princess like sharks smelling blood, and couldn't help but bared his teeth.

On January 20, Duke entered Stormwind Keep at the summons of King Varian and had a fierce argument with the "conservative" nobles in front of the king.

Topics revolved around the rights and duties of vassals, and even royal authority.

"Innate royal power! Your Majesty's power is given by God! It is sacred and inviolable! Your Majesty extends the power according to the will of God. The nobility is your Majesty's arms and fingers, so the power of the nobility is also sacred and inviolable!" Countess Katlana The opening scene consecrates aristocratic power.

"Kingdom is not innate. Without Emperor Thoradin's struggle 2,800 years ago, there would be no Arathor Empire and no Seven Kingdoms. What's more, the Arathor Empire has been destroyed. Stormgar, one of the Seven Kingdoms The Kingdom of Germany also perished." Duke cited scriptures to fight back.

"That's because God has withdrawn his favor from these two countries. Duke Marcus, do you dare to say that there is no god in this world?" Katlana said sharply.

Generally speaking, the debate between idealism and materialism is nonsense. No one can convince anyone. When science is not developed enough, if idealistic guys try to lead the topic in a direction that cannot be proven by materialism, it is really a bad deal.

Unfortunately, this is Azeroth, a world where souls can be seen with the naked eye, and even gods appear frequently. Although humans don't believe in Elune, the goddess of the moon, most of them know of Elune's existence. Coupled with the existence of mystics such as mages, warlocks, and priests, the result is that the theory of "natural kingship" is very popular.

After Katrana finished speaking, all the nobles, even the neutral knights, couldn't help but nod.

She said that Duke had no good solution in the debate. He could only explain his position from the aspects of social progress and productivity development having different requirements for the nobility in the new era. For example, what impact will banning the circulation of goods and increasing circulation costs have on society?

Helpless, this kind of thing sounds believable, and everyone knows it is correct, but breaking the interest chain of the old interest groups is a big thing that makes the nobles jump.

How about you, Duke, help us make money!

But if you take back the money given to us every year, then you, Duke, will be our enemy!

Besides, the timid Varian is probably under mind control right now. Whatever Duke says, Varian will do it - the bastard chants sutras, and he doesn't listen!
