Chapter 2366: The tradition of hardship

It was Violet that surprised Xiaozhi a little. It stands to reason that she is a prince from the royal family of Georgia, and she should usually be pampered, but at this time, she can actually eat such a terrible barbecue.
Seeming to understand Xiaozhi's thoughts, Violet said with a smile, "Do you think that I am very bad, usually the kind of delicacies? In fact, the life of our royal family is not as extravagant as you think."
"France, England, and Germany are big countries. Their royal life may be very luxurious. Why take a bath with milk? Why eat only a steak made from a piece of meat from the tenderest calf. But in our country, it is impossible things."
"Gruenia is just a small country. Our royal family of Gruenia, said to be the royal family, is actually equivalent to a small country town lord. Moreover, our Evegarten royal family has ancestral training for generations, and we absolutely cannot be arrogant and prosperous. So. Even the life of the royal family is not what you think it is."
"Of course, it's not like this anymore." With that said, Violet said with the barbecue in her hand, "This is actually for a period of time. I have eaten something like this every day, sometimes , It's worse than this."
Faced with Violet's words, Xiaozhi was a little confused. But at this time, without waiting for Violet to explain, it was Ulyas who said,
It’s deliberately making the royal heirs suffer. Let the king experience the lives of common people, and let the royal heirs starve and be frozen, and accept like ascetic monks. The same baptism is then qualified to inherit the throne."
"So that's the case." Xiaozhi nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't expect that your Evegarden royal family would have such a habit?" Xiaozhi said towards Violet.
If such a custom is maintained and the royal family of Evegarden can be passed down through the ages, it can be guaranteed that the heirs of the royal family will not slowly degenerate and decay because of the luxurious enjoyment. Among the ancestors of the Evegarden royal family, there are some quite visionary.
But when Xiaozhi said this, Ilias said again, "This is not just the custom of the Evegarden royal family, it is something that all the royal families of countries belonging to the sanctuary need to do. This is. It was stipulated by our Sanctuary Pope Sage."
"What?!" Ilias's words fell, and Xiao Zhi widened his eyes, a little surprised.
"Uh, yes, it is said that this rule was issued to various countries more than two hundred years ago, not long after Lord Sage became the Pope of the Sanctuary, so that the kings and crown princes of various countries must experience the hard life of the common people. Only after these penances and experience, can you inherit the throne in the future, otherwise, you will not be recognized by the sanctuary." Violet said the same.
"Two hundred years ago? So, the Pope has lived for more than two hundred years?" Xiaozhi was a little surprised.
"Yes. Lord Saiqi has lived for more than two hundred years, and he is a survivor of the last holy war." Ilias said so, his expression was full of admiration.
"According to the legend, more than two hundred years ago, on the earth, between various countries, there were years of war and fighting. Even if the sanctuary intervenes, they are all violations. And the ruling class and nobles of these countries are even more one. A arrogant, extravagant and prosperous, regardless of the life and death of the people, resulting in a miserable life for the civilians."
"At that time, there were refugees everywhere. Many children were left on the side of the road and starved to death when they were born. The low-level people of various countries lived worse than pigs and dogs. According to the legend, the last one In the jihad, a certain golden saint of the previous generation even fell into darkness because he couldn't bear to see such a thing. As a result, it brought great losses to the sanctuary."
"After Master Saqi became the pope, he strengthened the management of the sanctuary over the countries on the earth, and at the same time formulated a lot of rules. All countries must abide by it. In this way, the earth has always maintained peace, and because of the intervention of the sanctuary Under the interference of Sanctuary, the royal families and nobles of many countries dare not to bully the people." Ilias said.
In fact, Ilias didn't say these things too clearly. Although Xiaozhi is already willing to join the sanctuary and become an alternate saint, Violet also hopes to become an alternate saint. But some secrets, Ilias still did not fully say.
As far as Ulyas himself saw from the secrets recorded in the sanctuary, it was not a golden saint who fell into the darkness of the previous generation. It is the Pope of the previous generation of Sanctuary. It is the predecessor of this generation of Pope Sage! At the same time, he is also the master of Saiqi! Pope Itia!
This pope Itia was a survivor of the holy war five hundred years ago. As a golden saint, he is also the pope. He has faith in kindness, fairness, etc. However, in the two hundred years of ruling the sanctuary and the earth, Itia has seen too much misery and suffering in the human world.
As the pope, he often left the sanctuary and walked in the mortal world. Looking at the mortal world, countries and those in power are launching wars with each other for their own interests. Look at the rulers, enjoy luxuriously, take a bath with milk, and eat young beef. The poor refugees were crying, starving to death, freezing to death on the side of the road, and they had no rags to cover their bodies.
These circumstances made Itia feel sad and indignant, and he couldn't help but doubt himself and Sanctuary. Is this earth and this world really worthy of his protection? ! In other words, does it really make sense to guard all this? !
These thoughts caused Itia to fall into darkness in the end. He fell. When Pluto was resurrected more than two hundred years ago, he took refuge in Hades, the king of Pluto. Because of the rebellion of Pope Itia, Sanctuary almost lost the holy war two hundred years ago.
Fortunately, it was Athena, the goddess who reincarnated from that generation, who was so powerful that she defeated Hades, the king of Hades. In addition, Sage, who was the Golden Saint Seiya at that time, and other Saint Seiyas fought desperately, it was lucky that Sanctuary won the holy war, so that the earth and humans could continue to survive. Otherwise, this earth realm has been swallowed up by the underworld and completely reduced to a kingdom of death.
This incident, as the party in the past, even the now-above Pope Sage, once it rang out, he was still bitter. Therefore, after becoming the new pope, Sage issued such an order more than two hundred years ago.
It has to be said that because of Saiqi's efforts, it has indeed brought a great influence on this terrestrial world. ,, ..
