Chapter 53 Pendragon
Hearing the title of "Royal", Fel suddenly had a black question mark. He asked tentatively: "It seems that there is no king in our country?"
"Young master, I remember you passed the history class!" Old Harry looked helpless, and he said with some complaint: "You passed the exam by cheating, right?"
After Phil traveled through time, most of his energy was devoted to billiards business and alchemy, and he never paid attention to the history of this world. His current history class is not only a failure, but also a zero-point level.
"The results are not important, you should tell me quickly what the royal family is going on!" Phil quickly opened the topic.
Harry had to explain patiently: "A long time ago, our eternal country was not as vast as it is now. At that time, the nobles ruled this country. The nobles formed a noble house, with the six nobles at that time. No, they should be the five nobles as the core to jointly manage this country. The noble house has absolute power, and even the temple must obey the command of the noble house."
Phil nodded, which made him ring the Senate of the ancient Rome.
Phil continued: "In that era, origin determines everything. If a person was born in a noble family, then he could rise to the top and have power and wealth. The best of the nobles could enter the aristocratic courtyard and become the decision-makers of the entire country. And if a person was born in a civilian family, then even if he worked hard, he would at most have a rich life and he would never be able to enter the core of power."
"This is very unfair to civilians. If I were a civilian, I might resist." Phil said.
"You are right. Pandragorn is the rebel. Although he is a civilian, he has an amazing magical talent. It is said that when he was ten years old, he was already a great magician. At his peak, Pandragorn was the strongest magician ever and was hailed as the 'man closest to God'." Old Harry introduced slowly.
"The strongest ever? What level is that?" Phil asked curiously.
"It should have surpassed the level of the magic gods, and maybe it is capable of competing with the real gods." Old Harry paused and continued: "Pandragorn finally overthrew the noble house with his strong strength. Of course, this was not what he did alone. At that time, many civilians who were dissatisfied with the noble house were helping him. After Pandragorn disbanded the noble house, he proclaimed himself king and established the eternal kingdom. Those civilians who helped him overthrow the noble house were named nobles by him, and they were called "new nobles". As for the nobles before the birth of the eternal kingdom, they lost their former power and were called "old nobles."
"Old nobles? Aren't our Knight family the old nobles? So my ancestors were once a member of the aristocratic courtyard! In this way, I can be considered a 'dozen officials'." Phil said with a smile.
Old Harry ignored Phil's joke, and continued: "During the reign of Pandragon, the Eternal Kingdom continued to expand its territory, and finally had its current vastness. After Pandragon's death, his descendants inherited the position of the king and continued to govern the country."
"How did the Eternal Kingdom become the Eternal Kingdom today?" Phil asked.
"In the process of the establishment and expansion of the Eternal Kingdom, many new nobles were born. After these new nobles took power, they gradually became like the old nobles before, and began to enjoy various privileges and hoped to enjoy power forever in a hereditary way. Over time, this aroused the dissatisfaction of the common people." Old Harry explained.
"The warrior who killed the dragon eventually turned into an evil dragon." Phil sighed lightly and then asked, "What?"
"Then there was the resistance of the civilians. They not only resisted Pandragon's rule, but also resisted the privileges of the nobles. The last king of the Eternal Kingdom was not as great as Pandragon. In the end, he decided to abdicate, establish a parliament, and return the rule to the people, but the condition was that the lives and property of the royal family and the nobles were not infringed upon, so the awesome court was born. After that, the Eternal Kingdom became the current Eternal Kingdom, the administrative power of the country was controlled by the parliament, and the judicial power of the country was controlled by the judge. The Eternal Kingdom became a three-legged situation of parliament, the courtroom and the temple." Old Harry continued to introduce.
Phil nodded silently: "These three forces represent administrative power, judicial power and divine power respectively, which can be regarded as an alternative separation of three powers. By the way, you didn't mention the temple in your previous introduction. Why has this temple become one of the three major forces?"
"The situation of the temple is quite special. In the age of the noble court, the temple obeyed the noble court. However, when Pandragorn stood up and wanted to overthrow the noble court, the temple was the first to support Pandragorn. Later, when the people resisted the king, the temple was the first to stand up and overthrow the rule of the Pandragorn family. It can be said that without the support of the temple, it would be difficult for Pandragorn to overthrow the noble court. Similarly, without the support of the temple, those civilians would not overthrow the rule of the Pandragorn family." Old Harry continued.
Phil curled his lips disdainfully: "Isn't this just a fence-bearer?"
Old Harry immediately reminded: "Young Master, it's fine to say this at home. Don't say it if you go out, it will cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I still understand this." Phil continued, "Since Pandragorn is a royal family, then isn't Mario Pandragorn a prince?"
"It can be said that." Old Harry continued to introduce: "Although the king abdicated and the Eternal Kingdom has become the Eternal Kingdom, people still respect the royal family. When people hear the surname "Pandragon", they will immediately think of the king before and the strongest person ever!"
"No wonder today's sheriff McAllen looks like she licking dogs! It turns out she is expressing awe of the prince." Phil smiled and asked, "I shake hands with the prince today. Do I disrespect the royal family too much?"
"Young Master, I think you performed very well today. Even in front of Pandragorn, you did not lose the dignity of the Knight family." Old Harry paused and advised: "But I think you should avoid contact with that Mario in the future. His identity is too special. If you have any interaction with him, it may cause trouble."
