Chapter 278: Council of Nobles

Chapter 273 – The Council of Nobles
The Noble Council, which represented the noble class, was actually not far from the palace, which represented the royal power, and was only separated by a wall.

But just as the relationship between the two sides, seemingly complementary, in fact, between the two sides across a high wall that can not be crossed, and also like to throw garbage to the opposite side of the knife thrown thunder, in short, not to get dead but also to be disgusted by the other side, for example, the emperor enthroned the imperial nobility is one of the most disgusting means of the traditional nobility, second only to the Royal Family and relatives.

There is no way, who let the two sides are naturally opposites, both want to push the wall to the opposite side, monopolize all the territory.

This is a dispute of interests, which cannot be resolved at all.

Owen also got some hidden secrets about the Noble Council from Count Dekra, for example, initially there was no Noble Council, only the Noble Goddess Temple.

Later on, the nobles found that the emperor’s rights were too big, and after the empire stabilized, they started to find reasons to kill people to recover the feudal territories, and strengthened the imperial power while also dividing the royal family, squeezing the survival space of traditional nobles.

There are only so many land rights, more royal family, less nobles, who can be willing, this has touched the root of the survival of the traditional nobles, so naturally launched a revolt.

But the nobles soon realized that their resistance was too feeble, instead, it made the emperor more and more excited.

When the nobles realized that they would have no room for resistance if they didn’t hold together, the Council of Nobles appeared.

Initially, the Noble Council was a secretive organization, illegal, and the target of the Emperor’s severe crackdown, because the Emperor was very clear about how much of a threat the existence of the Noble Council posed to the imperial power.

Unfortunately, not every emperor is wise and godly, especially by the nobles to support out of the emperor, in the case of not being supported by the royal family, to the nobles of certain requirements is even more a lack of resistance, so the noble council shook, not only became legal, but also rich and beautifully constructed in the palace outside, next to the temple of the noble goddess.

Later, the royal family reacted, the emperor who agreed to the establishment of the noble council fell off his horse and died, but the noble council has long become the climate, carrying a butcher knife of the emperor thought for half a day, and ultimately did not dare to lay hands on the entire noble class, because he did not dare to risk the danger of the Empire’s split hands.

In the end, naturally, the tail is not big, the nobles council gradually become second only to the imperial power of the behemoth, even the emperor appointed by the imperial nobility also need to step by step in the registration of the nobles council, if the nobles council does not give face to the card process, the emperor will feel a headache.

Thinking of this, Owen looked up and understood why the Noble Council had the backbone to fight against the emperor and the royal family.

Because of having the power space, the temple seen in Owen’s vision was different, not as simple as an ancient complex.

For thousands of years, every building and every piece of masonry here had been infiltrated by faith, which was then transformed into divine light by the idols and cast into the sky above the temple, forming the image of a graceful and noble noble goddess, sheltering the temple and the believers.

Owen could clearly see that the noble goddess formed by divine light stood over the temple, although the divine light emanating from her body stopped below the high walls of the palace, the meaning of warning was very obvious.

The Noble Goddess is not a god of faith, as the protection god of the nobles, the god position is not low, although not good at fighting, but as long as the class still exists there will not be a lack of faith, not to mention that there are also the God of Knights and the God of Guards under the subordinates of the God of the two gods, the training of the war knights and the real guards combat power is not bad.

The strength of the Knights of War may not be considered top notch, but each one of them is an officer who is good at commanding battles.

And the real guards have sharp observation and tough bodies, it is hard for ordinary people to hide from their eyes, and at the same time, they are good at defense, they are also the opponents that any enemy would hate.

When the two sides were united, even the Royal Knights would have a headache. No wonder the Emperor was often tied up when facing the nobles, especially the traditional nobles, besides the various restrictions, the existence of the Noble Goddess was the biggest threat.

However, this also allowed Owen to understand the Emperor, at least the royal family also has not a small number of cards, otherwise the divine light of the Noble Goddess would not stop outside the palace.

There is no kindness for no reason, the only reason to know the difference is to have been beaten and hurt.

Owen rubbed his chin, feeling that the water here was too deep for him to grasp, so he didn’t intend to delve any deeper so as not to add to his troubles.

Marquis Burgasus was like a qualified tour guide who introduced to the crowd, the main body of the complex was the temple dedicated to the Noble Goddess, on both sides were the temples of the God of Knights and the God of Guards, with the Knights of War and the True Guard responsible for the security and patrol, and in the back was the Noble Arbitration and the Noble Council.

The temple and the noble council need not be mentioned, sounds like a good place, the noble arbitration is a place to punish the nobles, but rarely used, because the nobles themselves belong to the privileged class, murder and extermination of the family or something simply do not need to use the arbitration, not as bad as the impact of the money owed to not pay back the big, speaking of which, the Marquis of Burgasus expression strange a little stiff, looks like the purchase of a house owes a lot of money, the pressure is a little big.

Interestingly, from the Marquis of Burgasus’s talk, Owen did not find that the believer’s devotion to the gods, which means that he is not loyal to the gods.

Actually, this was related to the fact that the priesthood of the noble goddess was somewhat special.

As a noble goddess, there wouldn’t be any civilian believers at all, and the problem was that noble believers couldn’t be relied upon at all.

Because for the aristocrats to fight with each other to hide their true thoughts is purely instinctive, so how can they completely open their hearts to the gods to offer faith, not unwilling, but the complex thinking that has been cultivated since childhood makes it very difficult for them to do so, after all, there is no simplicity in the aristocracy, and any existence is just a tool to be utilized by them, and the same goes for the gods as well.

In this case even if the nobles forcefully hypnotize themselves, the true inner thoughts will be exposed in front of the gods, but will make the situation even worse, so simply keep the shallow faith, that is, to meet and burn incense to worship the gods, turn their heads to do what they should do, the two sides do not interfere with each other.

And the noble goddess, as a true god with priesthood, as long as the class and the nobles still exist, the faith will continue to flow, plus know that the nobles are a bunch of what the hell, so also never forced.

Nevertheless, when approaching the temple, Owen still collected all the abnormalities, after all, this place can be considered as the domain of a true god, even if he has the power space and system, once he exposes anything, it’s not good to get out of it, so he closely followed behind Marquis Burgasus and went to the noble council’s noble registration office.

Surprisingly, all the staff here are young and beautiful women and handsome men, and all of them are from noble families and have received a good education, only that they don’t have the right to inherit.

But Owen always had the feeling that he had entered a dating club by mistake, because their eyes were really too direct, and in addition, how did they wear clothes with so much fabric to create the effect of uniform seduction?
In fact, Owen’s feeling was not wrong, because most of the people who came here to register were young nobles who had inherited titles, and what this meant, these girls knew very well.

They didn’t have the right to inherit, and they would always have to marry, so if that was the case, then why not find a reliable one while they were very new.

That’s why the reception of the Noble Council was quite sought after, even Ferrier was surrounded by a few handsome guys who didn’t want to make an effort, making her smile, and the first-rate-looking Owen was even surrounded by a group of people, making him very uncomfortable.
