Chapter 12 The Birth of the Dark Blade
In the dim study room, even with candles lit, Guy couldn't fully see Edward's figure.
But he felt that Edward seemed to be brewing something, and waited patiently.
Edward thought for a while, and said a little nervously: "Guy, I think it's time for the shadow to reform!"
Guy stood and listened carefully to what His Majesty the King was about to say. When he heard the word reform, his heart was agitated, like knocking over a wine jar, not knowing whether it was delicious or intoxicating.
Edward didn't worry about Guy's mood swings at all, and continued.
"I decided to change the name of Shadow to Dark Blade!" Edward was going to change it to Jin Yiwei, but now that the Ming Dynasty is still there, he may not know when he will meet again in the future! That would be embarrassing! Even though the translation is different, the meaning is similar.
Since then, the Dark Blade has been called the Angel of the Night by the nobles, and the Vampire of the Night by the spies of the enemy country.
Edward said that he is a man of integrity. He would not do things like imitation.
"Guy, as long as you do well, there is no hope for the Baron and Viscount in the future, but knights and jazz are still possible!"
Edward suddenly said something that made Guy's blood pressure rise.
You know, although knights and knights are not nobles, they are preparatory nobles, and they are the closest nobles to the common people at the bottom.
Like knights and jazz, they have the right to directly meet the king, can directly participate in and manage places in the county, and can have their own fiefs.
Although you only own one or a few villages, they can be passed on from generation to generation, which means that your blood has begun to become noble, and you will no longer be at the mercy of the nobles, deciding your life belongs...
Guy thought about the benefits of becoming a knight for a while, even if his brain was exhausted, he didn't think about it.
However, he only knows that His Majesty the King can make him a knight and a knight, can change his destiny, change the destiny of his family, and give his children a chance to become a master.
So, even though he knew it was a slim chance, Guy was unwilling to give up. (f)reewebnovel.com
He immediately knelt down on one knee and gave a very decisive knight salute, "I, Guy Ham, under the witness of God, I and my descendants pledge unswerving allegiance to King Edward VI and his descendants Descendants, let Satan steal my soul if you violate it!"
Edward watched him swear the oath of allegiance, and didn't stop him. He just picked up the back of his sword and patted his shoulders after he finished speaking, expressing his acceptance of his allegiance.
Guy stood up blushing, looked at Edward enthusiastically, and hoped that Edward would send him a mission to make him a knight as soon as possible.
"Okay Guy, tell me about the current situation of the shadow!" Edward reminded Guy.
"Okay, Your Majesty the King!" After a while, Guy changed into his original poker face, hiding his excitement.
Originally, he was always a calm person, but he was overwhelmed by the desire to become a nobleman, and he immediately returned to his original state after being reminded.
It can be seen that everyone in this world has desires, and there is no perfect person. As long as the right medicine is prescribed, there will be unexpected results.
In fact, it can be seen from Guy's life experience that he is obsessed with the revival of his family, as long as he prescribes the right medicine, he may succeed.
Thus, Edward succeeded, seduced Guy with his title, and obtained a useful subordinate.
"With the support of the former king, I organized twenty-eight bankrupt gentlemen like me!" Guy paused, "We have been traveling to and from 39 counties in England, looking for rich churches to be confiscated by the court of increasing revenue!"
Yes, Henry VIII is so domineering. In 1536, he passed the parliamentary decree to establish the court of increasing income, which was the first special court for the purpose of managing confiscated monastery property and investigating information about monasteries around the world.
It also collected the tithes and knightly donations of the previous church, so the annual income of the Tudor dynasty increased from 120,000 pounds to 250,000 pounds, which greatly stabilized the rule of the Tudor royal family.
The rest has nothing to do with shadows. To put it bluntly, it is just an institution seeking money for the royal family.
Edward then had a long talk with Guy who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and had an in-depth exchange on the shadow reorganization.
The next day at around five o'clock in the morning, Edward and Guy walked out of Edward's study room with bloodshot eyes and two pairs of panda eyes.
"Guy, take this manuscript and correct it according to the requirements on it!" "Yes, Your Majesty the King!" Guy replied very seriously.
According to the plan, Dark Blade will use a small restaurant in London under the name of the royal family as its headquarters in the future. According to Edward's request, the Dark Blade's initial task was to monitor London, even if a mouse died in London.
Guy returned to his home in the west of the city. It was a low wooden house with cracks on the wooden door. There was nothing in the house except a wooden bed. The only valuable thing was the quilt made of linen?
Guy is 25 years old this year. Since his family went bankrupt at the age of 16, his wife divorced him and took away the only property in the family—the ten-acre land deed. Guy doesn’t blame her, because it’s her dowry.
So Guy can only live alone for ten years. This dilapidated house in London was rewarded by the king. Don’t think that it is worthless if it is dilapidated. Now it costs at least six pounds to buy.
When I got home, it was still dark, and Guy was reluctant to buy candles, so he could only eat something before reading this planning book.
Guy took out the black bread from under the bed, soaked it in water until soft, and eagerly ate it.
After eating for about half an hour, it was dawn, and Guy immediately began to look through the plan that Edward made with him last night. To be precise, Edward made it by himself, and he was only in a consulting role.
I saw Edward write this: first, the shadow was renamed Darkblade; second, Darkblade was directly under the leadership of the king, and no one was allowed to intervene.
Article 3: There shall be one leader, three deputy leaders, twelve thousand commanders, ten centurions each under their jurisdiction, and each centurion leads ten teams, each team has a captain and a deputy leader, and has Eight, ten in total.
Article 4 One centurion is stationed in each county, and four are stationed in London to monitor the situation in various places. They gather in London every year and report on their work.
Article 5, no one may violate the king's order, and those who violate it will be dealt with by the Ministry of Justice and Punishment according to the law.
Article 6: Set up the Judiciary Department, which is composed of the leader of the punishment and the three captains of the punishment, and is responsible for dealing with local rebels and foreign spies, as well as law-breakers with dark blades.
Seventh...
Eighth...
Wait, the 29-point opinion outline, involving the rights and obligations of the Dark Blade, is stricter than that of government departments. Even though Guy had prepared something last night, he was still taken aback.
