Chapter 129 The Governor Welcomes Himself! Greek Scholars

Port of London.

Duncan returned to the Governor's Residence in London yesterday. Anya was like a bee smelling the fragrance of flowers. She came diligently from Southampton and worked hard to pick honey all night. Then she fell asleep contentedly in the early morning of the next day, feeling her lower abdomen was bloated and full.

After not seeing her for a long time, Anya has become stronger again.

She is now - Samsung Whiteboard!
congratulations.

Duncan's power had increased dramatically. Last night, Anya even hinted at whether he wanted a few more beauties to sleep with him, or if she could choose a lover or two. Triss, the Raven Queen, was all about eating and no work, and Anya was almost overwhelmed.

She was educated in the traditional ideas of ancient Rome. Offspring are a very important inheritance for a family. Duncan is now the de facto king of Britain. She secretly heard that some people have complained about this and are even a little dissatisfied with Anya.

The general point is that Anya tried to curry favor but got nothing in return, so it would be better to find someone who could get something in return, or if that doesn't work, just find a few more.

The main reason is that Duncan likes to charge into battle, which makes the people below him feel nervous.

In every war, the general's guards tried their best to keep up, fearing that the monarch would be trapped in the chaos of the army if they were not careful. As time went on, the subordinates had some opinions, but they did not dare to tell Duncan directly. They just wanted to have an heir.

Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. If an accident happens one day, having an heir can stabilize the basic situation, and the King of Britain can at least be passed on.

Many people are really afraid that the hard-earned peace will be lost and that we will return to a turbulent and chaotic world.

They do not recognize Duncan's adopted children, but only his direct bloodline.

These people did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with the Raven Queen - Triss, so they could only target Anya. After all, the Raven Queen had a special status and was the high priestess, so she might not give birth to an heir. Anya held the financial power, which was considered to have taken away some people's jobs. The voices below were that since Britain was unified, it must have a formal and legal financial department.

Instead of holding on to the financial power, Anya should concentrate on serving the Governor and find a way to have a child as soon as possible.

Severus was one of the people who knew the situation of witches best, and he also had some complaints about it. He always felt that Anya was a charming and evil person who seduced the monarch to monopolize his favor. Now that everything in Britain was on track, he even said privately and bluntly that Lord Duncan needed a wife who could give birth to children.

Anyway, Anya has been feeling very aggrieved recently. When the territory was just starting out, everyone who saw her would bow their heads and greet her. But now that the British provinces are unified, those people put down their bowls and chopsticks and start cursing.

Sweetie became Mrs. Cow.

Fortunately, Duncan was always loyal to her and doted on her. He even secretly handed over the intelligence agency he had established to her, which comforted her wounded heart.

Some of the financial power had to be handed over, and Anya concentrated on managing Duncan's private treasury.

But the matter has been laid out on the table. Duncan has been very busy recently and has no intention of wasting his energy on women. He just said a few words to deal with it casually and left it all to Anya to handle.

There is no need to rush into such trivial matters. With Duncan's current status, it is not easy for him to get women. Too many women will only distract his attention.

The following view is actually not complicated.

Either you go and persuade Lord Duncan not to charge into every war, or you quickly find a way to have a child to reassure the people.

They didn't dare tell Duncan, so they could only put pressure on Anya.

Severus was a representative of the conservatives. He knew best how powerful Duncan was, but he firmly opposed Duncan taking risks personally. This had always been the case, even in the war with the Picts.

He would rather the British army suffer thousands more casualties than see Duncan lead the general's guards straight into the enemy's center camp, kill the general and seize the flag.

Fortunately, this is the British Isles. If it were the European continent, what would we do if we encountered a crossbow?
What if you get hit by a catapult?
Even if the chance is one in ten thousand, Severus is a staunch conservative. With his support and pressure, others are also putting pressure on Anya.

Anya feels wronged!

Even the Raven Queen - Triss couldn't persuade Duncan. What could she say as a servant? These people didn't dare to bully the Raven Queen and put pressure on her all day long. The baby felt wronged and could only squeeze more honey at night and hope that God would show a miracle.

Early in the morning.

St. Patrick is here again.

It seems that this old man has no intention of returning to Ireland. He has already thought about settling down in London. After all, London is the core of the British Isles.

He still wanted to convince Duncan, and even talked about the Trinity during their last meeting.

Duncan was in no mood to listen to this and dismissed him with a few words, telling him to organize the monks of the church and rewrite Celtic mythology to preserve it directly as a file. The church had considerable influence in Britain and needed them for grassroots governance. Unless Duncan intended to turn against the saints, he would not attack them.

St. Patrick was still dressed in a simple manner, almost like a druid. Anyway, he didn't look like a priest. The old man had thick hair and beard and Celtic features.

He was about to speak when Duncan raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You came?"

Duncan stood up, followed by the general's guards. He pulled St. Patrick past the door and hurried out, saying excitedly, "It just so happens that an important guest has arrived in London today."

"Come with me to greet them."

St. Patrick looked a little confused. Besides being curious, he also wanted to see who was coming that would make the famous King of Britain go to the port to greet him in person.

During this period, he also felt some of Duncan's attitudes, that is, Duncan used religion to use doctrines, and was not so completely devoted to polytheism. It was more of a way for the king to check and balance.

So the little old man wanted to preach to Duncan.

It’s okay to have wild ideas.

He was not afraid that Duncan would lock him up or even chop off his head. As a saint, St. Patrick was mentally prepared for martyrdom at any time.

Duncan is a Saint who is not afraid of death. It is really difficult to deal with him.

In recent years, the church has spread rapidly, not only because of its doctrinal advantages, but also because there are indeed many saint pastors doing practical things.

But later, as the church grew in power, it began to go astray.

At present, Severus is handling all the affairs in Ireland. He is a druid and is more suitable to conquer the Druid order in Ireland.

soon.

Escorted by the general's personal guards, Duncan arrived at the port of London. Seeing the governor, his supporters followed curiously. Thousands of people followed behind him, all wanting to see who was so honored to be personally greeted by the King of Britain.

Because of repeated prohibitions, no one kneeled down to see Duncan anymore, but there were still some people, mainly former slaves, serfs and other people from the bottom of society.

Duncan's British slave order can be said to have changed their lives.

no way.

The population is too small, with a total population of only over one million, and many people are slave farmers. If the population is not liberated, how can we reclaim the land and develop the economy?

St. Patrick followed right behind Duncan.

Some recognized the saints of the church, and there was great rejoicing, as if the church itself had united under the banner of the King of Britain.

St. Patrick looked at the church members around him with a bitter expression and a somewhat stiff smile. Because of his actions during this period, the Roman Catholic Church was very dissatisfied with him and there were even discussions about depriving him of his sainthood.

But is sainthood so easily taken away?
Want to eat fart.

St. Patrick went to Ireland alone to preach for twenty years. He was arrested and imprisoned by the Druids many times. He established monasteries and schools everywhere, and his prestige had long spread throughout the British Isles.

How many saints are there in the church on the British Isles?
This is the only one left at the moment.

What is the Vatican? They dared to deprive St. Patrick of his sainthood, and the church here dared to demand independence. This Governor really uses what he can!

St. Patrick felt that he had been unknowingly set up by the Governor, and that the British Church was already showing signs of supporting him in his fight against the Roman Catholic Church.

Also strange.

Why do so many priests in the British Church seem to be of druid origin, and are particularly supportive of him taking the throne?

If this continues, he will become the leader of the British Church.

Before the old man could think about it carefully, a fleet soon entered the port.

"coming!"

Duncan clapped his hands, and soon the welcoming music started playing. Guards on both sides formed a passage, separating the curious crowds around.

Looking at this scene, you might have thought that Emperor Valentinian III had come to Britannia in person.

If the emperor of the empire really came, it would not be as grand as this.

At the pier.

The middle-aged scholar standing far away on the deck was also stunned. Such a grand welcome ceremony really surprised him, and it could even be said that it was a bit unworthy of his status.

The guard beside him hurriedly whispered, "The Governor is here too."

King of Britain?
In fact, after Duncan unified the British Isles, some people began to call him the King of Britain in public.

After all, Duncan recovered Britannia on his own without the help of the empire. If he wanted to become king, it would only take a word. The following view is that he wants both titles, that is, King of Britain and Governor of the empire's provinces.

The middle-aged scholar looked a little flustered. Looking at the huge crowd, he quickly straightened his Greek robe and said to the disciples behind him, "Don't be rude later."

The isolation zone of the dock area.

Thousands of people looked over here. They didn't know who was coming, but since the Governor came to greet them personally, it must be an important person.

"Looks like a group of scholars?"

"Are they famous European scholars? They dress like Greeks!"

Some people curiously asked people around.

Soon, someone nearby said, "Why ask? He must be a famous European scholar!"

"Otherwise, why would the Governor-General come to greet us personally?"

"look."

"And St. Patrick of the Church."

At this time, a young man dressed as an aristocrat popped his head out and said, "I heard that the University of London is about to be completed."

"It must be a great scholar from Greece!"

"Everyone knows that the Governor values talents, especially knowledgeable scholars. He must be a famous figure from a Greek university!"

"Maybe from the Academy of Athens, or the University of Constantinople."

At the pier.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, St. Patrick also followed Duncan with a serious expression to welcome the arrival of the European scholar.

This Governor is really trying to trick him!

——Proclus (philosopher) (mathematician) (scientist) (polytheist) [two-star gold]!
Proclus annotated "Elements", systematically summarized ancient Greek geometry, promoted the development of the Platonic school, and is regarded as one of the last guardians of classical scholarship.

The one-star golden mathematician recruited by Duncan earlier was one of the disciples of this master scholar.

Proclus was the last pagan scientist of any importance.

He taught at the Academy of Athens during its last century, a time when paganism was already dangerous, and eventually became its director. He was subsequently persecuted and exiled from Athens around 450.

When the flame of science has gradually dimmed and turned into a faint flash, there are still people who hold high the torch of civilization regardless of the risk to their lives!

Even if the emperor of the empire came today, he would still have to stand aside.

Not far away, Proclus, who stepped onto the dock, had tears in his eyes and was trembling with excitement. He had just been expelled from Athens and exiled not long ago. He and his disciples were displaced and lived on a little handouts. Who would have thought that just one year later, he would be treated with such courtesy in the remote Britannia!
Governor of the British Province!

King of Britain!
Proclus walked forward excitedly, and listening to the cheers of the people around him, he almost wanted to kneel down on one knee.

But Duncan had already taken the initiative to help the scholar to his feet. His smile was as bright as a spring breeze. He reached out and shook Proclus's rough hand. Then, he raised it high and announced loudly to the crowd gathered in all directions: "People of Britain!"

"This is the dean of the University of London, the famous scholar Proclus. He will be the instructor of the London Academy from now on!"

boom!
A thunderous cheer rang out.

The people of Britain did not know who Proclus was. Many of them were illiterate and had never heard of this name, but this did not affect their cheers and celebrations because they had unconditional trust in the great King of Britain.

The king personally welcomed him!
Then they naturally responded with the warmest cheers.

Knowledge, civilization, scholars.

Even in the remote country of Britannia, the flowers of knowledge will bloom.

Behind Proclus, his scholar disciples could not hold back their tears, and many even cried bitterly. The year they were expelled from Athens and exiled was the most difficult time for them. The science they upheld was impacted by the times and suppressed by the church.

And today, they finally have a stable place to stay.

within dimensional space.

As Duncan raised Proclus's hand high to accept the cheers of the British people, the next second, a brilliant golden light emerged and his mark changed accordingly.

——Proclus (Philosopher) (Mathematician) (Scientist) (School Leader) (Dean of the University of London) (Polytheist) [Three Stars Gold] !!!
boom.

The epic destiny on Duncan's body emitted a brilliant golden light, which fell on Proclus, directly promoting him to the three-star golden school leader.

Behind Proclus, the scholars and disciples from Athens were also changing one by one.

The brilliant golden light of the epic of destiny fell on them in strands.

In an instant!
Their markings also began to rise, some going from one-star white to one-star silver-gray, and some from one-star gold to two-star silver-gray. From then on, they no longer had to toil and wander for survival, and could continue their studies in this turbulent dark age, making their voices heard in civilized science.

This is the authority that belongs exclusively to the King!
Duncan led the times with the authority of a king and granted them the status of orthodox scholars!
The scientific flame of this era is gradually dimming.

He was doused with gasoline by a muscular man who fell from the sky.
