Chapter 268: Religious belief

The Knights of Glory accepted the "protection fee" of the surrounding lord and enemy Ansino's royal family.
The Kingdom of Ansino is already barren in resources. If it were not for the rise of maritime trade, it would be almost impossible to develop. Lansas Province is the most resource-scarce region in the whole Kingdom.
Not only is the land unsuitable for the growth of crops, the population is sparse, and the geographical location is also awkward and special.
The embarrassment is that the province of Lansas is on the border of many countries in the north, which also causes the Knights of Glory to actually become a barrier to the north of the Kingdom of Ansino.
The special thing is that the southwestern part of Lansas Province is a terrible poisonous fog swamp, and the southeast direction is the endless Shakyi Mountains.
This means that the northern nations must invade the Ansino Kingdom and must pass through the province of Lansas, or they can only make a detour to enter the Ansino Kingdom from the west or east.
In this way, it seems a little outweighing the gains.
The northern countries have negotiated with the Knights of Glory more than once. They just took the road to conquer the Ansino royal family. Not only did Autumn not make a crime, but they also gave a large amount of borrowing expenses. group.
But the Knights of Glory don't buy it at all, because their knighthood has a "protect the weak".
Although the Ansino royal family and them are enemies, most of the people in the Ansino kingdom are the people of the Dashang dynasty. What they protect is not the Ansino royal family, but the people in the kingdom.
The northern countries also have a headache, and they hate these brainless glory knights, but no one dares to provoke them.
The Knights of Glory has maintained the number of 30,000 people since escorting the agreed Wunan to go down hundreds of years ago, no more and no less.
The Knights of Glory has its own unique training method, and it has been persevering for decades, never slacking, and always maintains a strong fighting power.
Although they only have 30,000 people, they do not take out more than ten times the number of people. No country dares to say that it can win the Knights of Glory. The Ansino royal family is a lesson.
Even if they wiped out the Knights of Glory at any cost, then what would they do to deal with the Ansino royal family, and there are other countries watching from behind.
Since the appearance of the Transcendence, the strength of the Knights of Glory has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Each generation of the commander is at least a third-order strength. After the appearance of the fifth-order transcendence, the current head of Irving Harris has a fourth-order warrior Strength.
Since then, no one dared to easily provoke the Knights of Glory.
The Ansino royal family is also extremely wise, sending a lot of money and military supplies every year to ensure the strength of the Glory Knights.
Because they know that there is a Knight of Glory in one day, they do not need to worry about the defense of the north, even if the Knight of Glory has always hated the royal family.
Chen Luo glanced at the team of the Annosi Imperial Guard, and he secretly shook his head. The peace he bought with money was tantamount to putting his own safety on the powerful force of others.
At present, this situation can only be maintained for a while, and it is simply delusional to want to rely on this model for long-term stability.
A hundred years have passed now, and as the wealth of the Ansino royal family is getting larger and larger, I am afraid that there will be a big mess soon.
However, Chen Luo immediately left it behind because he didn't care about it at all.
He came here not for the Ansino royal family, or for the glory of the Knights, but for the choice of death.
The southern countries are located in a remote area at the southernmost point of the mainland, far away from the bright church country in the north, and there is a huge Chris Empire in the middle. They want to preach in the south and can only travel long distances around the west or east of the mainland. It took more than a month to get here.
And even here, all the rulers of the southern countries have adopted the same method for the church of light, without merciless expulsion, if they have not left, then they will kill them directly.
Without the existence of the Bright Church, there will naturally be other invasions of faith, and the number is very large.
The current state of the southern countries are mostly mixed beliefs and multi-gods, but no matter what kind of faith, there is a very interesting common point, their belief in death and piety.
Perhaps it was because of the barrenness of the southern countries in the early years, and countries fought violently in order to seize resources.
They have seen too much death, and believe in the afterlife and the world after death, so no matter what faith, their gods will master the kingdom of death, let his believers be blissful, or reincarnate.
After the establishment of the underworld, it was undoubtedly an endorsement of these beliefs. Even ordinary people and rules who had no beliefs began to join these religions, so that many religions in the southern countries that contained death beliefs have been greatly developed.
Today, there are more than ten religious temples in the city of Carlo alone. The worship of these temples has many believers in the city and has very large rights.
And not only in the city of Carlo, the power structures of the southern countries are basically the ruling institutions formed by the three classes of the royal family, nobles and temple sacrifices.
Chen Luo is going to choose one of these religions as the ultimate belief of death. As for who can ascend to the throne, it is up to him.
Chen Luo was not in a hurry, he walked slowly in the city of Carlo, admiring the style of this southern port city.
Unlike the various architectural styles of Biba City, most of the buildings here are magnificent and spectacular, revealing a burst of rich temperament.
Here houses and buildings are generally seven or eight meters high, almost three floors.
The tallest building in the city is, of course, the kingdom of the Ansino royal family. The main hall there is almost 100 meters high. Even Chen Luo can see the magnificent palace group at the gate of the city at this time.
In terms of the current construction technology of the Western Fantasy World, it has reached the extreme that humans can currently do.
The style of the royal palace is roughly similar to the Gothic palace in the European Middle Ages, and the construction of the Florentine style makes Chen Luo feel a bit like crossing the European Middle Ages.
But the prosperity of Carlo City, I do not know how many times more than those of the European cities in the Middle Ages.
Merchant ships from the west coast to the east coast of the mainland, or from the east coast to the west coast, will stay in Carlo City after a long voyage.
This also made Carlo City a meeting point for transactions between the east and the west of the mainland. A large number of chambers of commerce have gathered here, and the city has become rich soon after the maritime trade has been booming.
Carlo City now handles a lot of goods every day. There are more than 100,000 busy workers and slaves in the port alone, and there are countless people serving the port.
Chen Luo spent half a day roughly browsing the city of Carlo, and also saw the dozen temples.
After having a taste of the city, he already had a rough plan in mind.
