Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

At this moment, Audrey was riding in a very luxurious carriage.

They were surrounded by servants dressed in white robes.

Audrey never imagined that in less than three months...

So many things have happened.

First, his own father secretly raised a new crusade.

The nobles of the south began to resist the French monarchy in the north.

If that were all, Audrey could understand.

Because he was a member of the Toulouse family.

Audrey received various forms of education from a young age.

Family history is an indispensable part.

This is a way to cultivate the family's disciples, letting them know about the family's glorious history.

It can make disciples feel a greater sense of belonging to the family.

This is a very crucial aspect of education.

However, the education provided by each family is different.

But you can't escape it; your family raised and nurtured you.

To uphold the family's honor and survival, even sacrificing an individual is nothing.

In the Middle Ages, chivalry was highly valued.

Because in the tenth century, the whole of Europe was very barbaric.

Bloodshed and violence, massacres of civilians, are all considered normal.

Human evil has been laid bare.

However, chaos is what the upper class hates most.

What the aristocratic class needs is stability.

Why did religion come into use by so many rulers?

Because it can stabilize society.

Stability is more important than many other factors.

The Western world in the 21st century also has this set of policies.

The concepts of keeping the people ignorant, happiness education, and entertainment to the death.

As long as the lower classes don't cause trouble, anything goes.

Why can the United States, a single country, use 80% of the world's painkillers in a year?

Are Americans the largest group?

No, it's not that; rather, it's that I need these drugs to numb myself.

The overuse of painkillers in the United States is well-known and needs no further explanation.

Many Western countries have legalized marijuana.

Although the timing is different, the policies and objectives are the same.

Starting from the 10th century.

As an armed class, knights needed to regulate and maintain order.

At this time, the Christian Church stepped forward and urged people to do good.

For example, back then, when people had grudges, they would kill each other without any reason.

When will this cycle of revenge end? All sorts of dirty tricks have been used in the past.

But this does not meet the requirements of the aristocratic class.

There are three core principles here.

Loyalty: To be loyal to the lord and to defend the oath to the death.

Courage: Fearless on the battlefield, defending the weak.

Honor: Respect your opponents, do not launch surprise attacks, and do not mistreat prisoners.

The establishment of rules is a great benefit to the people.

In the military field, originally, as long as a war broke out...

The victorious side will massacre the city and commit all sorts of atrocities.

There will absolutely be nothing left.

Now it's become a one-on-one duel, and those who surrender are not killed.

The two nobles originally disliked each other.

If a fight breaks out, it could be a bloodbath between the two families.

This is not just a matter between two families; it could affect the entire city.

Moreover, they will form cliques, which could continue for an unknown period of time.

How can the people live like this? Are they just fighting wars and not engaging in any daily life or production?
Therefore, in the Middle Ages, one-on-one duels were used to resolve matters.

This has become a very common occurrence.

Even if someone dies, it's just one person dying, and it can still solve the problem.

There were also services that offered duels on behalf of others at that time.

Wealthy people can hire professional duelists to fight on their behalf.

But a holy war, the Crusades, began. Everything that had been outwardly well-maintained changed.

What about not killing civilians and not killing those who surrender?

It's all just empty talk.

The killing of heretics is not a sin.

It will also be regarded as an "honor".

This is different from what the Christian Church originally preached.

In the original doctrines of Christianity, your life and everything you have are gifts from God.

You have no right to harm the life that God gave you.

This is tantamount to blasphemy against God.

Therefore, from a doctrinal perspective, Christianity forbids self-harm, suicide, and harming others.

This was originally a well-intentioned idea, to encourage people to cherish their own lives and not harm others.

But in reality?

The Crusades tore away all this hypocrisy.

Chivalry is a mirror, reflecting humanity's noblest ideals and most despicable desires.

What loyalty? Raymond immediately rebelled.

Protecting the weak? The Albi Crusade fought their way through.

Whether they are ordinary citizens or not.

Religious piety? The Albi Crusades simply established a separate Order of Our Lady.

To say something like "lack of chivalry" is just a joke.

People in the Western world have always been extremely hypocritical.

That's just how it is.

However, in such an environment, it is inevitable that there will be idealists.

He received theological education and various forms of chivalry education from a young age.

They truly regarded chivalry as their motto.

That's why people with even a little bit of chivalry abide by these things.

It will be written about extensively by Westerners because they all know that there are too few people who possess chivalry.

Although Audrey was not a male, she had been exposed to the ways of the large family from a young age.

Audrey's father spoke in a pleading tone.

“Audrey, my father has never asked anyone for a favor in his life.”

I'm begging you just this once.

"Be the new Our Lady of the Order of Our Lady."

"I will lead our Toulouse family back to the top and surpass our predecessors."

Audrey's father, Raymond VI, kneels before his daughter.

Audrey could not refuse, nor could she refuse.

And so she became the Our Lady of the Order of Our Lady.

Now, with the Albi Crusade, the entire south has fallen.

Audrey, the new Our Lady, deserves much credit for this.

He would start giving speeches wherever he went.

They display the stigmata on their bodies and reveal miracles.

Then it will be able to sweep everything away.

If you keep hitting? That's going against the Holy Mother! How dare you?

Before the morale could even be boosted, it had already been halved.

How can we fight a war like this?
Some people surrendered directly and joined the Church of Our Lady.

The Albi Crusade is currently enjoying immense prestige.

Audrey was now wearing a white veil, though she was dressed in coarse linen clothes.

But when she stands there, her aura is completely different.

"Our Lady, we are almost at the Loire River."

Why is France divided into North and South?

Geographical reasons are a crucial factor.

It is this Loire River that divides France into the north and the south.

The Capetian royal family in the north has relied on various wars and marriage alliances over the years.

They gradually eroded the entire south and unified the whole country.

However, the differences between the north and south of France, whether in terms of customs, language, or law, are significant.

There are very obvious differences.

The Toulouse family, to which Raymond VI belongs, has a very deep family heritage in the south.

That is precisely why a new crusade could be assembled in a short period of time. (End of Chapter)
