Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 163:
Another flag was erected above the gate of Dal City.
Originally, two flags were erected here. They were the Dragon Tail Flag, which symbolized the Dahl family and the Gold Coin Flag, which symbolized the Gold Coin Federation. The gold coin flag is higher and the Dragon Tail flag is lower, which means that the Dahl family belongs to the Gold Coin Federation. But today, in the middle of the two flags, there is a third flag.
The green jellyfish flag that symbolizes the Church of the Void Mask is flying high, much higher than the gold coin flag.
This means that Darling has changed from a traditional aristocratic leader to a church leader. From today onwards, the Dar family will become a vassal of the Void Masked Church. In the future, if there is an inheritance dispute, it will only look for the Void. The masked church came to preside over the mediation, and it had nothing to do with other nobles.
To put it plainly, they broke away from the noble system and joined the priesthood system.
This kind of thing is not common, but it happens sometimes. Some weak aristocrats often consider holding the thighs of a powerful church and transferring from the aristocratic system to the priesthood system.
For those weak and small nobles, if you want to survive and continue the family, you have to hug your thighs. It doesn't matter which house you hug. Compared with the aristocrats who seem to be so gentle but cannibalistic but do not spit out bones, most kind churches are sincere, reliable and trustworthy. The only problem is that the good church has strict requirements for the believer lords. If the family cannot keep on the path of goodness in the future, it is likely to be deprived of territory-this kind of thing has happened more than once in the past.
But even so, there are still weak nobles who switch careers to join the priesthood system from time to time. After all, deprivation of territory by good churches is rare, while it is much more common for big nobles to annex small nobles.
The most common method used by the great nobles is marriage, marrying a daughter to be the wife of the little noble, and then their children will naturally be the heirs of the territory. If there is a problem with this family's inheritance right thereafter, the great aristocrat as the elder will naturally be able to come forward and arrange for one of the daughter's direct juniors to change the surname to inherit the family.
This so-called dove occupying a magpie's nest is not a clever technique, but it is completely in line with the legal tradition passed down by the nobility. After all, in theory, the daughter's direct descendants also have the right to inherit—though not much, the difference between "has" and "no" is the most important.
There are also ways to make it more beautiful. For example, if you marry for several generations, then the two families will naturally "you have me in you, and you in me". When the time comes, the little nobleman will be silent Swallow it, and you don’t even need the opportunity for inheritance disputes.
In contrast, although good churches are more restrictive and governed, they will never do such things.
Baron Dahl originally did not intend to change the nature of the territory, but it is not as good as the heavens. The eldest son he had painstakingly cultivated had an accident not long ago-not dead, but the one who has been married and gave birth to a child." The young man suddenly awakened to his special pedigree.
Awakening a special bloodline is generally not a bad thing, but what if it is a demon bloodline that is awakened?
This incident caught Baron Dahl by surprise. Although he had blocked the news and was not known to outsiders, the crux of the problem was not here-he could be sure that the eldest son was his own biological son, a direct bloodline of the Dahl family. Now that this child can awaken the blood of the devil, what about the other members of the Dahl family?
This is what worries him the most, especially after he asked the priest of Kabbalah to hold a secret large-scale ceremony to confirm that his wife is absolutely free of demon blood, and he has a headache even more.
Theoretically, the eldest son’s demon blood may come from his maternal grandparents, that is, the Baron’s father-in-law, but the two old men have already passed away, and Baron Dahl is really embarrassed to dig the grave for this - let alone dig it out. A bunch of rotten bones, I'm afraid that most of them won't be able to verify anything.
And... Honestly, Baron Dahl feels that most of this bloodline really comes from the Dahl family's consistent heritage.
He carefully recalled the process of his ancestor's prosperity back then, and he felt that this ancestor who had always felt cunning, deep and sophisticated, was quite devilish in the legend.
More importantly, after the ancestors made their fortune, he died in the prime of his life inexplicably, and his son did not express anything. He originally thought that this old ancestor was killed by his own son, and now he carefully ponders...I am afraid that the old ancestor has discovered the sign of his bloodline awakening, and has to use death to escape the crisis in order to preserve the family.
When I think about it this way, he is even more sure that most of the demon blood of the Dahl family comes from this ancestor who built the family.
So the question arises, is Baron Dahl, who mostly has the blood of the devil, still suitable to be a lord?
Nonsense! Of course not!
The nobles pay the most attention to face, and the so-called "honor is my life" is definitely not empty talk. Many things are elusive. Once exposed, they will be scorned and cast aside, and the legitimacy of the entire family will be questioned.
Having a devil bloodline is one of the most serious of these things, and the severity can probably be ranked in the top three.
Baron Dahl is very upset about this. There are so many dirty things in the aristocratic circle. Many people don’t look like humans, but they are not much better than demons in their bones-more than a hundred years In the past, there was a female nobleman who arrested the virgins of the common people in the territory and took blood to bathe in order to maintain their youth.
For this kind of thing, even though Baron Dahl is of devil blood, he can't do it by asking himself.
He is not a good guy, but bad guys also have to pay attention to style. Taking human blood to bathe? It's a shame for the "bad guys" group, OK?
Compared with this kind of poisonous woman, the devil may not be brutal.
However, no matter how uncomfortable he is, the devil bloodline is still a problem that cannot be bypassed.
So he thought about it, and the most appropriate way is to leave the noble system and switch to the priesthood system.
The Masked Void Church does not discriminate against all races and bloodlines, even the bloodlines of demons. He once asked the chief priest of Kabbalah about this matter~IndoMTL.com~The chief priest of Kabbalah also specially prayed and directly asked the great mask of the void for instructions. His Majesty the Void’s answer was "As long as I abide by my doctrine, not to mention the blood of the devil, even if it is a devil, I will also admit his faith and be willing to shelter him."
These words dispelled the last worry of Baron Dahl, so he called the core members of the family together and held a secret meeting. At the meeting, he talked about the crisis faced by the Dahl family, and called out the eldest son who had already awakened the blood of the demon with a small horn on his forehead to meet with everyone, and finally invited the Kabbalah priest who was also present to hold a small The bloodline screening ceremony.
The results of the bloodline screening did not exceed his expectations. Among the core members of the Dahl family, three of them were screened out with weak demon bloodlines.
In other words, the Dahl family really has a demon blood, but it is very weak.
At this point, there is no choice.
