The Original Vampire

Chapter 79: The fog of history

   "The Black Emperor" didn't even leave any records.

   This is a very strange thing.

   As the former master of the Glorious Empire, he should have been recorded in history books.

   What's more, this emperor is still so special.

   was killed by his own vassal, and also attracted the oracle of the Lord of Radiance.

   This kind of person should have left a strong mark in the history books!

   Even if it is notorious, it shouldn’t be nothing.

   "So, what evil did this'Black Emperor' do without leaving a record?" Ke Lin asked suddenly.

   Quincy shook his head and lowered his voice slightly, as if he was afraid of something: "My Lord Viscount, the truth about that period of history has always been shrouded in a mist.

   What exactly did "Black Emperor" do? Why did Duke St. Theon kill him? Why did this event trigger an oracle?

   There is no detailed record of these things.

   In all the history books I have seen, the narratives about these two people are very simple and vague, as if they are deliberately concealing something. "

   Colin nodded appreciatively.

   I think there are too many doubts in this period of history.

   Then, why did the Marquis of Garcia suggest that he come to understand this history?

   After thinking for a while, Colin suddenly asked again: "By the way, the history of the St. Theon family should be here."

   "Yes." Quincy ran to the bookshelf again and pulled out a book from it.

   "Lord Viscount, please see."

   Colin looked over again.

   Actually, Colin knew a little about the Saint Theon family.

   After all, this is also a paladin family, an absolute nobleman.

   In addition to the imperial family, there are only six such families in the entire human empire.

   Of course, only four of these six Paladin families can be passed down to this day.

   Among the two that disappeared, the Saint Theon family was one of them.

   Thinking about it carefully, this is actually an unreasonable thing.

  Because according to the unspoken rules of the nobility in this world, it is very difficult for tragic events such as ransacking and extermination.

   It's like when the Duke of St. Hilde let off their family after executing the rebellious lords.

   Therefore, these families just lost their titles and territories, but the families did not die as a result, and they are still members of the nobility.

   Even if they are down, they still have surnames, which are fundamentally different from common people.

   Once he has achieved enough military merit, he can immediately receive the reward and rise again.

   Therefore, few noble surnames will be lost.

   Especially the noble surname with the prefix "Holy" like St. Theon, it is so strange that it disappeared in the long river of history.

   Looking through the St. Theon's family history roughly, Colin's doubts still did not disappear.

  According to the book, the fief of the Saint Theon family is in the east of the empire.

   However, at that time, the eastern border of the empire was not as monolithic as it is now.

   is divided into two territories, a north and a south.

   The southern part of the east is the territory of the Saint-Pros family, and the north of the east is the territory of the Saint-Theon family.

   The two territories are close together. Of course, disputes and frictions have often occurred, and even large-scale wars have been fought for several times.

   However, what is interesting is that in the end, the Saint Theon family really lost the crucial battle in the north of the east, but they fought the Saint Hild family in the north.

   In the war that took place more than three hundred years ago, the Duke of the North led his army to defeat the main force of the St. Theon family, and even beheaded the "Judge" Duke of St. Theon with his own hands.

  【Judgment Blade】It became the spoils of the Saint Hild family in this war.

   However, the real winner of that war was the Saint-Pros family behind the mantis hunting the cicada and the oriole.

   They took advantage of the defeat of the St. Theon family and the northern army suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight again. They aggressively invaded the northern part of the east, and finally wiped out the remnants of the St. Theon family and became the only master of the east.

   But the strange thing is here.

   In this war, although the Saint Theon family lost their territory and ruined the army, the family members did not suffer much loss.

   Whether it is the St. Hild family or the St. Pros family, after killing the "Judge" Duke St. Theon, they will not break the unspoken rules of the nobility and kill the St. Theon family.

   However, the nightmare of the St. Theon family began.

   Lost territory, without the protection of the castle and the army, members of the Saint Theon family have been assassinated repeatedly, and the killer has never been found.

   This incident even alarmed the imperial royal family. The San Lorenzo family took the initiative to mediate and severely reprimanded the Duke of St. Hild and the Duke of St. Pros, asking them to maintain the demeanor of the winner and forgive the loser.

   At the same time, the emperor at that time also received the surviving members of the St. Theon family into the palace for strict protection.

   However, this still cannot prevent the members of the Saint Theon family from dying one after another for various strange reasons.

   Later, even the Glory Church was irritated by this violation of the rules, and the pope stood up personally, claiming that he would never allow the noble blood of Saint Theon to be severed.

   The two cardinals even came to the north and east in person, demanding that the Duke of St. Hild and the Duke of St. Pros stop this behavior of breaking the rules.

   Of course, the two dukes repeatedly shouted injustices. In order to clear their suspicions, they also announced the whereabouts of every knight under their command, and allowed church personnel to monitor and search at will on their own territory.

   Under the gaze of all kinds of eyes, the two biggest enemies of the Saint Theon family seemed to be closely watched, and there was no chance to do anything.

   But even so, it still cannot prevent the members of the Saint Theon family from dying one by one.

  Who is behind the scenes who insists on killing Saint Theon family?

   There is no answer in the history books for this weird thing.

   In the end, this once prominent paladin family disappeared from the empire.

   I just don't know if it really cut off the inheritance completely, or hides it quietly.

   After reading this period of history, Colin's doubts not only did not decrease, but increased.

   In his opinion, the history of UU reading www.uukanshu.com about [Judgement Blade] must have hidden the most important information.

   And this message may be the real hint given to him by Marquis Garcia.

   However, it is estimated that this clue cannot be found in the history books.

   This is not surprising. What really falls on the pen is often what the superiors hope that later generations will see, and the real key things may only be known to a very small number of people.

   Those bloody, dirty, ugly...that are covered by the fog of history are often the truth.

   Closing the book, Colin suddenly turned to Quincy and asked, "What do you think of the demise of the Saint Theon family?"

   Quincy hesitated slightly, and carefully chose the wording: "My lord Viscount, I think they deserved the crime."

"Oh why?"

   "No matter how whitewashed, the killing of the'Black Emperor' by the Duke of St. Theon is an unforgivable betrayal."

   Colin didn't expect Quincy to think of it this way.

   However, after thinking about it carefully, Colin suddenly felt that this old man seemed to have something else to say.

   Unforgivable?

  弑君, to whom is the most unforgivable?

  , of course, the imperial royal family-the San Lorenzo family!

   The death of the king of the Duke of St. Theon, for whatever reason, was an unforgivable betrayal to the San Lorenzo family.

   It severely damaged the prestige of the imperial royal family.

   No wonder the Saint Theon family fled into the palace and were assassinated one after another.

   Ha ha, it turned out to be such a situation.

   The St. Hild family and the St. Pros family are probably just thugs in the face.

  The one who really wants to cut off the lifeblood of the Saint Theon family may be the imperial royal family!
