This knight is too perfect

Chapter 79 White Tower
"White Tower?"

Although Rhine has entered the extraordinary world for some time.

But he was very sure that he had never heard of these two words, and he had never known that there was such an extremely powerful secret society in the extraordinary world as Lilith mentioned.

Lilitha was not surprised by Rhine's reaction.

Because let alone Rhine, even many extraordinary people who have entered the extraordinary world for many years may not know the existence of the White Tower.

This is certainly because the White Tower has a special status and is difficult for many extraordinary people to access.

But the more crucial reason actually lies with the group of "knowledge seekers" in the White Tower who don't like to go out.

After all, they are too lazy to even leave the house, so how would you know they exist?

Looking at Rhine with a curious look on his face, Lilitha began to introduce the White Tower and its relationship with the Territory of Thorns.

"Rhine, I only have a limited understanding of the information about the White Tower."

"Therefore, I will not talk about some information that even I cannot verify the authenticity of. I will only talk about some information that is very important to you and will actually affect you."

"Rhine, there is information about extraordinary authority. I think Baron Angelo should have told you about it, right?"

Rhine nodded, indicating that he had indeed known the information about the 'extraordinary authority'.

On this basis, Lilitha gave further explanation.

"Since you already know this, I'm sure you also know the role of the Authority of Thorns, and the relative importance of the Authority of Thorns and the Baron of Thorns."

"So, Rhine, do you think I would come all the way to visit Baron Angelo because I value his title or the power of thorns in his hands?"

Rhine did not hesitate at all and answered directly: "It should be the latter."

"Yes."

Lilysa looked at Rhine and said seriously, "Rhine, authority is very important, and it is countless times more important than you think."

"Because authority not only symbolizes strength, it also symbolizes a kind of recognition, the recognition of God."

"Rhine, remember what I said before, forbidden knowledge cannot be read for a long time?"

Rhine will naturally not forget this.

After all, Rhine saw clearly from the extraordinary notes that Lilitha gave him what would happen to an extraordinary person after being contaminated by the forbidden poison.

But Rhine didn't understand why Lilitha brought this up at this time.

Is there some connection between extraordinary authority and forbidden knowledge?

Looking at Rhine who was lost in thought, Lilitha gave a direct answer.

"Rhine, the poison recognition contained in the forbidden knowledge is essentially because mortals are unable to understand the power of gods with their mortal minds and souls after they have glimpsed it, which causes their bodies and souls to become deformed."

"And when a Beyonder who is recognized and protected by the gods continues to read this forbidden knowledge, what do you think will happen?"

Hearing this, a bolt of thunder appeared in Rhine's mind.

"Your Highness means that if one can obtain extraordinary authority, then even if one reads the corresponding forbidden knowledge for a long time, one will not be affected by the forbidden poison?"

"Yes."

Lilitha raised her hand and showed Rhine the silver ring on her left little finger.

"Rhine, you should have discovered a long time ago that I actually like reading books very much. Among the many books, my favorite are naturally the taboo books that contain unknown knowledge."

"But after reading so many taboo books, I was not only not affected by poison identification, but I even gained a lot of benefits from it."

"Of course, my extraordinary bloodline has an impact on this, but the 'Moon Goddess's Favored Ring' in my hand also played a very important role."

"Because as the Moon God who possesses both the Netherworld and the Soul, I am guaranteed to be immune to the effects of the forbidden poison when reading this kind of forbidden book."

"Do you know which secret society in this world has the most 'certificates of divine approval'?"

"White Tower."

Rhine followed up on what Lilitha had said and answered directly.

"Yes."

Lilitha nodded and began to talk about the important reason why she visited the Thorn Territory.

"The White Tower, which possesses the most 'Certificates of God's Recognition', naturally also possesses the most high-ranking Beyonders in the Beyonder World."

"Although they are powerful, they have no interest in worldly matters. They are absorbed in exploring extraordinary adventures and always consider themselves 'seekers of knowledge'."

"But being indifferent to the secular world doesn't mean they really have no influence on the secular world."

"In fact, most of the extraordinary forces today, as well as many noble dynasties in the secular world, have their shadows behind them."

“Because they were the first pioneers to discover the function of the ‘Certificate of God’s Approval’ and pass it on to the world.”

"So the Power of Thorns in Baron Thorns' hands was not actually given to him by Duke Morton. Instead, it was given to Duke Morton by the White Tower, and he searched for a suitable person who was qualified to hold the Power of Thorns." "In this process, the person who was qualified to hold the Power of Thorns eventually fell to Baron Angelo, and it has continued to this day."

At this point, Lilitha said in a very serious tone: "Rhine, the title of nobility is certainly important, but authority is above the title."

"Otherwise, why is it that Angelo, who is only a baron, can have equal relations with Randy, who is an earl?"

"That's because Randy doesn't have extraordinary authority, but Angelo does."

"So even though Angelo doesn't seem to have much power in the Principality of Morton today, he is actually the most special one in the Principality of Morton because he possesses the power of thorns and can communicate with the White Tower to a certain extent."

"So I approached him not only to win his support, but also to win the support of some of the White Tower seekers behind him."

"And the latter is the key to changing the dangerous situation of the Kingdom of Akkad and the Principality of Morton to a certain extent."

Hearing this, Rhine keenly discovered a problem.

"But Your Highness, since the White Tower you mentioned is so powerful, and the power of thorns in Lord Angelo's hands is so important, then shouldn't he be able to decide on his own whether to keep his title and power? Why is he trying so hard to gain the support of Count Randy?"

To this, Lilysa quickly gave an answer.

“Because of the ceremony.”

"ceremony?"

"Rhine, what do you think the ceremony means to the Beyonders?"

Hearing this, Rhine's eyes were confused, because this was beyond his understanding.

This has nothing to do with wisdom, it's simply because Rhine has never been exposed to this kind of knowledge.

Fortunately, Lilysa did not embarrass him, but explained directly: "Rhine, the so-called rituals are essentially verified and safe 'roads' for exploring the extraordinary."

"Because the birth of each ritual is the result of a large number of extraordinary people using their lives and souls as the price to find the way forward."

"So in your opinion, the way of obtaining the right to inherit the title of Baron of Thorn must comply with Morton's law and complete a series of procedures. This is a cumbersome and unnecessary red tape."

"But since it exists and has existed for so long, there must be a reason for its existence."

"Obtaining the consent of the great nobles and obtaining the right to inherit the title under their witness is a necessary ceremony for the inheritance of the extraordinary authority of the Morton nobles."

"Because only in this way can you safely and truly gain the recognition of the authority of Thorns and completely master this authority."

"Although I do know of some ways to skip this tedious process and directly obtain the power of thorns."

"But these methods are not only unsafe, but can also easily lead to unforeseen dangers."

"So unless it is necessary, neither Angelo nor I want you to use this method to obtain the Power of Thorns. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Rhine almost understood the whole story.

Is the title of Baron of Thorns important?

Crucial, but not crucial.

Because the title of Baron Thorn is related to the fate of Thorn's power.

But what really matters is power, not title.

And if we consider the White Tower behind the authority.

And the powerful influence that an extraordinary organization like the White Tower, which is above the secular world, may have on the secular world.

It is obvious why an Akkadian princess like Lilitha would come all the way to the Territory of Thorns.

Just as he was thinking, Rhine seemed to suddenly understand something and looked at Lilitha with shock.

"Your Highness, if that's the case, then is it possible that Earl Randy, who has no authority, is also interested in this authority?"

"Perhaps he was secretly behind all the things that happened in the Thorn Territory?"

Lilisha nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, Rhine, this is the most dangerous and difficult situation I imagined."

"Because if that's the case, then even with me by your side, you're still in great danger now."

"Although I really don't want to speculate on Count Randy's thoughts with the worst malice, unfortunately, I have already vaguely sensed his huge ambition at the banquet a few days ago."

"Rhine, this giant hidden under the calm sea of ​​Adrian is already old, but its ambition does not seem to have diminished. Instead, it has begun to grow more and more over time."

"If you are caught in this vortex and cannot realize this, you will be swallowed up by the behemoth without even realizing it."

"This is what I want to tell you, about the importance of the Thorn Territory and the great danger you are facing right now."
