Chapter 490 The Leading Party
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
Inside the palace of the City of Glory, Gervis was walking on a marble-paved road, with carefully manicured flower beds and woods on both sides. The guards on duty saluted and greeted Gervis as they saw him passing by.
Gervis did not look back or respond. He just looked straight ahead and walked slowly and steadily.
Now that he has become the king, he still needs the necessary dignity. He is no longer the viscount lord with only a hundred subordinates.
In this City of Glory, his direct legion has tens of thousands of people, so naturally he needs to find a new way to control his subordinates.
Soon, Gervis arrived at the edge of the palace, a walled manor.
This manor is different from other places. The buildings inside are not gorgeous, but they are very solid.
Moreover, there are obviously more guards here than in other places. This is where the dungeon in the palace is located.
Gervis is now here to interrogate the golden knight he captured last time.
"His Majesty!"
When Gervis walked into the cold dungeon, several guards in charge of guarding the dungeon hurriedly saluted and greeted him.
"Bring the prisoner out, His Majesty wants to interrogate him!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"
Soon, two guards opened one of the cells and brought out the prisoner with mithril chains on his feet.
Gervis looked up and saw that the man's arms had been chopped off. He had chopped them off that day outside the City of Glory.
But this man has the strength of a golden knight after all, so he won't die from such a minor injury.
Although this is a dungeon, it has not been used yet, so there is no unpleasant smell. Gervis simply moved closer and asked directly.
"May I have your name"
Maybe he didn't hear it, but he lowered his head and said nothing, not answering Gervis' question.
Bang!
"Your Majesty is asking you a question! Did you hear me?"
Without Gervis's orders, the guard standing nearby immediately took the thick braid and swung it down hard, instantly leaving his back covered in blood.
This prisoner had taken the bellflower poison before being imprisoned, so even ordinary soldiers didn't have to be afraid of him.
"Barry! My name is Barry! Give me some water!"
Perhaps because of the pain, the man finally showed some reaction, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Give him a bowl of water!"
Seeing this man speak, Gervis smiled, gave an order to the guards, and then sat on the chair brought by his subordinates.
After Barry finished drinking the water, Gervis dismissed the guards and stayed alone with Barry before continuing to speak.
"Barry, right? Tell me about the Holy Continent!"
"What do you want to hear about?"
After drinking a bowl of water, the prisoner named Barry finally had a glimmer of hope.
"Let's first talk about the classification of the White Flag Knight realm!"
Then, Gervis began to ask him about some news about the Holy Continent.
From Barry, he finally learned that Golden Knights were not uncommon in the Holy Continent, and only those who could break through the White Flag Knight could be considered a strong man.
As for the current situation of the Holy Continent, there are many races on the Holy Continent, and each race occupies its own living area on the Holy Continent.
Although humans are the largest in number among these races, they are also the weakest among them.
In the Holy Continent, humans are not divided by country because they all belong to the same alliance, that is, the Human Alliance.
Of course, since it is an alliance, it has many members, and the spheres of influence of these members are divided by cities.
This sounded a little weird to Gervis, and it didn't match what he had read in a book before.
After further questioning, Gervis finally learned from the prisoner named Barry why the current Human Alliance was different from what he had seen in "Blaze's Detailed Explanation of the Races".
According to the description in "Detailed Explanation of the Blazer Race", the Holy Continent has more than 300 kingdoms of various sizes and a population of more than 3 billion.
But more than two hundred years ago, a great change took place in the Holy Continent, which led to the current situation.
There is a magical place in the Holy Continent, that is the place where gods fell.
The discovery of the God's Fallen Land was more than three hundred years ago. When the God's Fallen Land was discovered, all races on the Holy Continent were excited.
Because it not only contains rich resources, but also many ancient relics.
Although the environment is dangerous, compared to the endless treasures, such danger is not enough to make people retreat.
As a result, all intelligent races in the entire Holy Continent began to explore the place where the gods fell.
The Land of God's Fall is vast and boundless. After decades of exploration, people gradually advanced, but found a curtain of light blocking their progress.
Of course, people are unwilling to stop here, after all, there are endless treasures waiting for them.
Therefore, every intelligent race tried every means to break through the light curtain and grab more treasures.
At that time, humans gathered more than 30 legendary magicians from the entire alliance to launch forbidden spells to attack the light curtain.
The full-strength attack of thirty legendary magicians was no weaker than that of a god, so a gap was finally opened in the light curtain.
But no one expected that what they opened was not only the entrance to the treasure, but also the entrance to hell.
When people rushed into the broken light curtain and looted frantically inside, something horrible happened.
Tens of thousands of undead creatures appeared from nowhere. Led by liches and other leaders, they began to attack humans and came to the Holy Continent through the broken light curtain.
Faced with almost endless undead creatures, the entire continent suffered immediately. More than half of the original 300 kingdoms were destroyed in an instant, and the number of humans who died was in the hundreds of millions.
Faced with such a threat, all the races on the continent united together at that time.
Finally, the strongest fighters of all races went to the entrance of the light curtain, and thirty legendary magicians of mankind also went there at the same time. Finally, all races reasonably arranged an unprecedented seal there, which blocked the gap in the light curtain.
However, although the light curtain was blocked again, the highest combat power of all races was also lost.
Only five legendary human magicians survived in the end, and each of them was seriously injured.
Although Barry only told a few words about what happened, seeing the loss of so many top fighters, Gervis knew that it would be an unimaginably fierce battle.
From then on, Gervis finally had a rough understanding of the Holy Continent. Similarly, his three views were refreshed again.
As for the New Temple, they were formed by some people who worship the undead. They are dedicated to welcoming the coming of the undead and then finding ways to gain eternal life and greater power.
Gervis's understanding of this is that the people in the New Temple are all prospective members of the "guide party" who want to drag the whole world into the water.
"No wonder everyone in the Holy Continent wants to kill him! If they want to find a base, they have to come overseas and do it secretly!"
When we walked out of the dungeon, it was already dark.
Although there were still many things he hadn't had time to ask, Gervis was not in a hurry. Since Barry was willing to cooperate, he would keep him locked up until the church's affairs were resolved and then he would ask more questions.
Moreover, Gervis also made up his mind that he must visit the Holy Continent in the future.
