The latest website: As the most chaotic area in the Old World, the Middle Kingdom, which has been in constant war, has never lacked dramas such as betrayal and betrayal. The knight betrayed the lord, the lord betrayed the king, and the king betrayed his subjects. There are countless such things. Kai has used the dirty soul to describe the Middle Kingdom area more than once, and believes that as long as he enters the Middle Kingdom area, even if he only takes a step, and then retreats, that person's soul will also be covered by this dirty land. Defile the earth.

As for why the Middle Kingdom has never stopped wars and a unified kingdom has never emerged, there is no unified statement on this point. The only explanation accepted by most scholars is that the church is unwilling.

The church mentioned here does not only refer to the Church of True God, and even those shady churches of evil gods are completely consistent with the Church of True God in their treatment of the Middle Kingdom.

Throughout the history of the entire Middle Kingdom region, every time there is a powerful force in this region, there will be betrayers in this force. Some of these betrayers directly kill the leader of the faction, and some of them are at a critical moment. In the sexual war, betraying the position of the leader to the enemy, etc., if you investigate carefully, it is not difficult to find that these betrayers, without exception, are more or less related to the Church of True God and the Church of Evil God.

The Middle Kingdom, which almost unified the region back then, was because of the appearance of traitors, and the king was attacked and killed. This situation started from the earliest people settled in the Middle Kingdom region, and it still exists today. People living in this region, or People who come to this area to discuss life have long been accustomed to this kind of thing. If there is no accident, this situation will continue until the world is destroyed, maybe it will stop.

However, with the appearance of Lord Protector Barbarisa, the situation seems to be improving.

In the area controlled by Barbarysa, fairness, justice, integrity, and loyalty have become the core moral standards. Almost all the nobles, knights and commoners in the area controlled by Barbaryisa are following this moral standard, especially Barbary Sa's subordinates even regarded this principle of arrival as an oracle. For a long time, such random betrayals as in other regions almost never happened again, which made the Barbarisa territory a central place. Outliers in the Kingdom region.

The reason why Barbarisa's territory has such an astonishing performance is entirely because Barbarisa himself took a good lead.

Back then, when Barbarisa had mastered the most powerful legion in the Middle Kingdom, everyone thought that Barbarisa, like other ambitious men in the Middle Kingdom, would kill his titular king and become the new leader of his region. king.

But to everyone's surprise, he did not do that. Instead, he still respected the king, and erected a huge stone outside the king's castle, engraved an article called the Code of Justice, expounding His moral thoughts, and then disbanded most of the troops under his command on the spot, leaving only one knight order, and returned to his own territory.

It is precisely because of this amazing move that he won the absolute trust of the king, and later won the absolute support of the king in the wars with other countries, and after his achievements reached a certain level, he was crowned the protector of the country He enjoys the same rights as a king, and at the same time, he was given the very special title of saint by the Church of True God, which established his special status in the Middle Kingdom.

And he serves as a role model, and his subordinates are also extremely loyal to him. There have been more than one times when someone tried to buy his subordinates with a lot of money, but they all failed when they took over.

Even this moral code has spread to the common people, affecting other ordinary people in the Barbarisa territory, which makes the Barbarisa area the most morally-behaved area in the Middle Kingdom, and even other areas of the Old Continent can Nor has there ever been a comparison in moral conduct to that of the Barbarisa.

It is precisely because the people here have extremely high moral standards, and because the Barbarisa territory happens to include two large rivers at the same time, and has extremely convenient water network transportation, people in the Middle Kingdom are more willing to come here for For various transactions, it has also become the first choice for various negotiations in the Middle Kingdom.

However, cracks have appeared in this completely unreasonable justice environment in the Middle Kingdom, and the appearance of this crack is very likely to affect the special status and status of the entire Barbarisa territory.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just that the steward of a small property under the name of Grand Duke Barbarisa betrayed the trust of Grand Duke Barbarisa, sold all the goods in that property at a low price, swept away all the cash, and fled In the Middle Kingdom region, these losses are nothing compared to the huge assets of Grand Duke Barbarisa.

But in the eyes of those who are interested, the deep meaning of this betrayal is extremely unusual, because the steward who betrayed the Grand Duke Barbarisa was a member of the Knights of the Grand Duke of Barbarisa during the war, and the Knights of the Guards were in turn He is regarded as the most loyal subordinate of Grand Duke Barbarisa. When danger comes, every knight will die for Grand Duke Barbarisa without hesitation, but it is such a loyal representative who betrays Grand Duke Barbarisa , so what about Barbarisa's other men? Is their loyalty still as indestructible as before, or is it corrupted like this knight of the Knights of the Guards?

The Barbarisa Territory is the only neutral zone in the Middle Kingdom, and any change will affect the hearts of many people. Therefore, when the news of the traitor's appearance spread, all the forces in the Middle Kingdom sent people overtly and secretly. Going to the territory of Barbarisa to inquire about news, even the Church of the True God sent people to wait and see the follow-up changes.

This unexpected incident also made Barbarisa have to abandon the travel plan he had made before, and stayed in the territory honestly, meeting with his subordinates, calming their emotions, and at the same time strengthening their loyalty.

Barbarisa knew very well that the reason why his subordinates did not appear some traitors from time to time like other forces was not only because he had a reputation and status that no one else could get, but more importantly, his ability could help him win people's hearts.

Affinity is one of the special abilities possessed by Barbarisa. As long as one gets along with Barbarisa for a long time, those in contact will naturally be affected by this silent affinity, making the other party a close friend who will never betray friend.

However, this ability also has a flaw, that is, it has a duration. Once the time is up, the people affected by the affinity will gradually return to normal, and eventually they will be completely unaffected.

Barbarisa is also very aware of his shortcomings in this ability, so he will gather with his cronies and some important subordinates from time to time, and complete the strengthening of the loyalty of these people in the gatherings.

However, because there have been no accidents all year round, Barbarisa is a little lax. In addition, this trip is to the New World, and the time it takes to return to the Middle Kingdom area is much longer than expected. In the end, there is no time to strengthen the loyalty of his subordinates. As a result, one of them got rid of the spiritual control and became a traitor.

So after learning about the situation, Barbarisa called the officers of the Knights and Corps under him to gather in his castle immediately to strengthen the loyalty of these people.

In his opinion, it is not a big deal if there is a problem with the management of those industries. It is just a loss of money. As long as he still has a loyal army in his hands, no amount of turmoil will occur in his territory.

However, even if Barbarisa reacted in time after the incident and did the most correct thing, the turmoil caused by the betrayer will not be changed because of his correct decision, because more people hope that this turmoil can Expand, preferably to the point where the Barbarisa territory cannot bear, such a stable and safe neutral area does not meet their expectations.

When Leo came to Barbarisa's territory, he just got off the boat when he saw two groups of people who looked like porters gathered at the warehouse door of the pier and fought fiercely. There were already more than a dozen people lying dead on the ground. Unknown, others still have no plans to stop.

Although the security personnel at the pier had received the news that the porters had arrived nearby before they did anything, they had no intention of stepping forward to stop these people from fighting. Instead, they stood from a distance and watched what happened like ordinary people.

After seeing this scene, Leo felt a little weird, because the information he obtained through other channels about the security content of the Barbarisa territory was all praised, but now seeing this scene on the pier, it is obvious that here The actual situation is very different from what you see.

This was just the beginning. On the way to the hotel closest to the pier, Leo encountered four more fights from different forces. Without exception, it was the same as the pier. The security personnel arrived at the scene but did nothing. After these people finish fighting, clean up the mess.

What's more interesting is that so many weapon fights appeared in the city, but the residents living in this inland port city did not show the slightest disgust. Instead, they completely turned into a bystander watching these people fight each other in front of them with relish. , and those who were fighting were also careful to avoid ordinary people on the street, as if bombs were planted on these people, and they would explode with a light touch.

Soon Leo knew the reason, and saw that the two fighting forces accidentally involved a bystander in the fight, and caused the bystander to be seriously injured and fell to the ground. The two fighting parties stopped instantly after seeing this scene After they got down, they heard a rush of horseshoes coming from the end of the street, and then saw a fully armed knight consisting of ten people rushing towards them.

At this moment, both parties in the battle chose the same surrender action, and then the team of knights took away the wounded and some people led by the two forces, and the rest were taken away, so there was no need The fighting continued, so they dispersed, and the street quickly returned to calm.

This abnormal phenomenon was naturally remembered by Leo. After he checked into a large suite in the hotel, he immediately asked the hotel attendant who was carrying the luggage what happened just now.

"Is this your first time here?" The attendant did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Is the image of a foreigner obvious?" Leo looked at his clothes and asked.

"No, it has nothing to do with your appearance." The attendant shook his head and said, "If you were a local, you wouldn't ask such a question at all." He sighed and said, "The city is a bit chaotic right now. , Many forces that had gotten along well before were inexplicably disliked each other, and then organized people to attack each other on the street. At first, the knights of the security station would also intervene in these battles, but because there were too many occurrences , and the locations are too scattered, so as long as the struggle of these forces does not affect ordinary people like us, they will not take action to quell this struggle."

After hearing the hotel attendant's explanation, Leo couldn't help but frowned. He felt that the deep meaning was not as simple as what the attendant saw. The knights at the Sheriff's Office seem to have made the worst possible choice.

Leo didn't bother with this issue, and asked another question, "If I want to buy rare ores and gems, who do I need to find in the town?"

The attendant immediately gave several names, and two of them, Leo, had also heard of them. They were the top ore chambers of commerce in the Old Continent.

Leo then asked about the addresses of these chambers of commerce in the town~lightnovelpub.net~ After getting the answer, he gave the attendant some consumption and asked the attendant to leave. When giving the tip, Leo deliberately showed some The gems in his pocket were seen by the attendants, and he believed that it would not be long before the fact that he was carrying the valuable gems would reach the ears of various forces in the town.

However, what surprised Leo was that he didn't wait until those forces sent people to test his details, and he didn't have time to go to those ore chambers to discuss ore collection. Instead, he saw the secret on the night he entered the hotel. Barbarisa who came to meet him at the hotel.

"How did you know my whereabouts? Mr. Barbarisa." In the hotel room, Leo looked at the nervous Barbarisa outside the door, and didn't let him in immediately, but said very seriously. asked.

Barbarisa explained seriously: "With your current status, there are quite a few people staring at you, and you have come to this particularly sensitive Middle Kingdom area, so when you set foot on the territory of the Middle Kingdom, and Your relevant information has already been sent to the most powerful people in the Middle Kingdom, and I naturally have a copy in my hand. When you chose to take the boat, I guessed that you would come to this port town, so I waited here in advance, I hope you will not misunderstand."
