Chapter 7: The Foundation of Eternity

Smack!

The sound of glass shattering sounded.

"Brotherly country?! I'm the one who has a brotherly friendship with Leinster! It's all those stubborn old immortals, otherwise how could I be preempted by the Holy Empire! ”

Emperor Jupiter threw another cup in annoyance.

"Hasn't the whereabouts of His Excellency John been found? Damn, he said he'd be back in a month at the latest, something must have happened! How do I go and explain it to Ranster! ”

The young Emperor Peret paced up and down in the main hall and beckoned his courtiers:

"No matter! It's already a step behind, hurry up, immediately call the envoys to set off, and go to the capital of Stuart as fast as possible! ”

Three months later, the situation on the continent, which had been made by the divine stroke of the Holy Empire, changed again, and after the Holy Empire, the Pere Empire sent an envoy to form a formal alliance with the Duchy of Stuart and become each other's brotherly countries.

Once again, the entire continent has lost its voice.

If it was before the catastrophe, not to mention that the two empires were vying to show favor to a small principality, even if the small principality took the initiative itself, it would be laughed out of its big teeth, wondering if that principality was crazy, and dared to make a big fuss, and under the nose of the suzerain, he frowned at the hostile empire and hooked up with the hostile empire.

However, in the current situation, the Duchy of Stuart is like an independent principality, with friendly contacts and even alliances with other countries, although it is contrary to people's consistent perception, but it is extremely in line with the current political situation on the mainland.

As the true suzerainty of the Duchy of Stuart, the Kingdom of Meryl after learning the news. React quickly.

In order to express respect for the god of oaks, the Kingdom of Meryl should give the Duchy of Stuart independent sovereignty, introduce missionaries of the Oak Sect, and form a brotherly friendship with the Duchy of Stuart.

The Duchy of Stuart's tax tribute is one of the important sources of Meryl's treasury, and the loss of this tribute will make the already stretched treasury even more porous, making the recovery from the disaster even more slow.

But even if you know this. The whole kingdom of Meryl quickly agreed to the crown prince's letter within three days. Afterwards, the nobles of Meryl Kingdom jointly donated to the treasury to support the royal family through the most difficult period.

Meryl's envoys traveled day and night, and in less than ten days arrived in the capital of Stuart and presented the credentials to the Archduke of Leinster.

Lancet himself appeared. In front of the square of the Oak Temple, announce to the people of the entire county that the Duchy of Stuart has officially become an independent principality!

"Hula! Long live the Grand Duke! ”

"Long live the blue irises!"

"Immortal! Noble! Glory! - Stuart! ”

"Holy Stuart!"

Accompanied by the ecstatic celebration of the people. The news of the official independence of the Duchy of Stuart spread quickly.

As the news spreads. Countries have sent envoys to Stuart, and the climax of taking the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with the Duchy of Stuart has also come:

First the Duchy of Magic and the Duchy of Ryan, then the Kingdom of Little Perret and the Duchy of Fito Commerce. The four kingdoms under the Holy Empire, the Holy Dilin Kingdom, the Fabia Kingdom, the Byron Kingdom, and the Keman Kingdom, also sent envoys to the suzerain, and even the Ponto Mountain Principality, which has always ignored the continental situation, closed itself off, and has its own rule and belief system, also symbolically sent a small envoy group of less than ten people to congratulate and establish diplomatic relations.

Important characters with weight often come out at the end.

The Merlin Empire was no exception.

Just when the capital of Stuart, which has now been renamed the national capital, was bustling with activity, and seemed to be gradually beginning to become a great city in the minds of the entire continent that was no less than the imperial capital of the three empires and the holy place where the true gods appeared, the Merlin Empire, which was secretly watched by the nations, reacted slowly and sent an envoy delegation.

The countries thought that it would be good for the Merlin Empire to bow down to the situation, but when Merlin's envoy arrived in the capital of Stuart, the envoy announced the contents of the letter of sevent, which surprised the countries:

The Merlin Empire not only recognized the name of the independent principality of the Duchy of Stuart and established friendly relations with the Duchy of Stuart, but also introduced the Oak Cult to enter the mission, and proposed in front of the envoys of various countries on the continent that the miracle of the Oak Tree appeared for the first time in the capital of the Stuart Kingdom, and the first son of the Oak God was also in the Blue Iris family, which showed the love of the Oak God for the Blue Iris family, in order to show respect for the gods, the Principality of Stuart and the Blue Iris family should be crowned with the title of "sacred".

That is, the Merlin Empire will recognize the Duchy of Stuart as a religious shrine and the status of the Blue Iris family as a religious symbol.

This is a remarkable significance.

Just look at the Vatican of the Earth.

Any religious shrine and religious symbol has an immeasurable influence on all believers, and will raise the prestige and appeal of the entire country and family to the peak.

For a cohesive religion, any attack on the symbolism of this religion is equivalent to an attack on all believers, and any enemy who stands in opposition to the symbol of religion is the enemy of all believers.

Religion knows no borders.

The Duchy of Stuart is small and weak, even if it became an independent principality, it was supported by various countries for a while due to the situation on the mainland, but this kind of diplomatic situation can only last for a short time, and the political pattern of the continent is always changing, maybe a year or two later, the flowery Duchy of Stuart will become a rat crossing the street.

But it is not the same as a religious symbol after it becomes a religious shrine.

Unless the Oak God and the Oak Cult fall, the Duchy of Stuart will stand forever, fulfilling dreams that are unattainable for all royal families, and will be passed on forever!

Moreover, with the widespread spread of the teachings of the Oak God, when the Oak Cult spread throughout the Muse Continent, with its religious influence, although the Duchy of Stuart could not become a huge existence like an empire, the Blue Iris family could become a transcendent existence that was not like royalty but more like royalty. It can even use religious forces to influence the internal affairs of other countries, and even the pattern of the mainland!

Especially at a time when countries are vying to establish diplomatic relations with the Duchy of Stuart and agree to the Oak Sect to enter the country to preach, it can be said that once the Duchy of Stuart is recognized as a religious holy place, the future glory and long-term inheritance of the Blue Iris family is already predictable.

What is it to become an independent principality, what is it to establish friendly relations and alliances, this congratulatory gift from the Merlin Empire is the real gift!

Even Anderio III, who was most desperate to grasp the life-saving straw of the Duchy of Stuart, learned the news. There is only one thought in my mind:

Are the nobles and ministers of the Merlin Empire crazy from top to bottom?

After this thought. The old fox immediately remembered:

By the way, the regency of the Merlin Empire is now in the hands of Archduke Stuart!

Most of them had previously thought that the reason why the Merlin Empire was late after the arrival of the envoys of the farthest Keman Kingdom was a sign that the forces within the Stuart Empire and the Merlin Empire were in full swing. And all kinds of information about the Merlin Imperial Capital during this time. This is also evidenced.

But until now. Anderlevio III realized that the turmoil in the Merlin Imperial Capital was all deliberately created by the Archduke of Ranster. Used to shift focus.

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, all countries thought that after the Grand Duke of Randster took power, he would definitely use this opportunity to promote various policies that would take advantage of the Duchy of Stuart, and even go further, and swallow the behemoth of the Merlin Empire through the marriage contract with the Empress Michelle.

But Archduke Rantster did not do this, but found another way, and reached an agreement with the major noble forces of the Merlin Empire with a certain degree of retreat, taking advantage of this golden opportunity to lay the foundation for the Duchy of Stuart and the Blue Iris family in one fell swoop!

Didn't the politicians of the Merlin Empire know that recognizing the Duchy of Stuart as a religious shrine and symbol was harmful to themselves?

Of course not.

But if they don't agree, they will push the Archduke of Ranster and the Archduchess of East Ferro behind him to the opposite side, and the pattern that has just stabilized will immediately have the possibility of overturning!

In this case, the long-term benefits and the harm of burning eyebrows, they can only choose the former.

After all, the Duchy of Stuart is small and weak, and the population of the entire country combined is only about the same number as the standing army of the Merlin Empire, even if it is combined with religious influence, it is not enough to shake the foundation of the Merlin Empire.

The rise of the Duchy of Stuart is still far away, and the birth of the mage group and the infiltration of secular power are already imminent, and even the most politically literate people can understand which one should be united and suppressed.

A ragged colt may make a good horse!

Thinking about this game of chess played by the Grand Duke of Rancester, Anderlevio III could not help but feel admiration.

The biggest advantage of Archduke Rincter is that his purpose in this game is actually clear at a glance, but it is an upright and righteous conspiracy, which is irresistible.

Even when the Merlin Empire was in trouble, he took the initiative to agree to the marriage, stood up to share the pressure for the Merlin Empire, and occupied the ruling power of the Merlin Empire, but he did not take the opportunity to wantonly harm others and benefit himself.

Thus he obtained, no one could criticize anything, and even the proposal of the Merlin Empire could be considered as a reward for his noble deeds, without the slightest feeling of condescension from the Merlin Empire, but an equal exchange between the two countries.

The diplomatic style of a country at the beginning of its independence will establish the country's image and temperament in the eyes of other countries, and lay the foundation for the country's international status in the future.

From the point of view of a ruler, Archduke Randster could not have done better, and he was simply a virtuous monarch that can only appear in epic records.

At present, all the evaluations of the Duchy of Stuart on the continent are biased towards the positive, and the Duchy of Stuart seems to have no enemies on the entire Muse Continent, and this situation has to be said to be closely related to the positive image shown by the Grand Duke of Leinster to the outside world.

The temperament of the founding ruler is the temperament of the country.

Anderlevy III even felt jealous, jealous that the Duchy of Stuart was so lucky:

Originally just an inconspicuous heir, in this turbulent times, it is like a tide maker who came into being, not only supporting the Duchy of Stuart through the troubled times, but also supporting the entire country and family to soar into the sky, and has since become a star that cannot be ignored on the mainland stage!

"If I could have such a good heir, even if I died right now. I can go to see Xianjun with a smile! ”

Archduke Stuart was young and already had a successor, and Stuart's future glory would surely be passed on in the hands of father and son, and Anderlevio III couldn't help but feel bitter that he was over seventy years old and still had to support this crumbling empire.

However, no matter how bitter he was, he could not do anything to hinder the recognition of the Duchy of Stuart as a religious shrine and symbol.

After meeting with the Stuart envoys who had returned with the Holy Empire's legations, and meeting in private, Anderlevio III was satisfied. Finally, the official credentials were presented. Acknowledging the Duchy of Stuart as a religious shrine, the Blue Iris family is a family favored by the god of oaks and deserves a sacred name.

Oh, no. It shouldn't be called a principality now. Due to the transcendent status of the Stuart and the special symbolic significance. Even if its territory is far from the standard of a kingdom recognized on the mainland, it can still be called the Kingdom of Stuart!

The international political situation is sometimes like dominoes, and it doesn't take a lot of effort. As long as you find the right first domino and push your finger lightly, the situation will have a chain reaction and fall in the desired direction.

The Holy Empire was the first to respond, and the opposition within the Pere Empire was quickly overwhelmed by Emperor Jupiter's imperial party, and the Pere Empire was the second to take a stand.

The three empires have all expressed their positions one after another, and the other small countries that are watching naturally have no reason to insist, and they are led by the Duchy of Ryan and the Duchy of Magic, and they have issued diplomatic letters and statements, and the envoys who have just returned were immediately sent out again.

This time, instead of congratulating Stuart on becoming an independent principality, it is congratulating Stuart on becoming the Holy Stuart Kingdom, and the Blue Iris Family on becoming the Holy Stuart, and re-establishing diplomatic relations with Stuart, which became an independent kingdom, and renewing the covenant.

The grand celebration lasted for a month, and the fame of the Lancet the Great spread across the continent with the founding of the Holy Stuart Empire.

His origin, his deeds, his governing philosophy, and the power he held in his hands were all talked about by the upper echelons of the entire human race, and in the final analysis, he almost became a living legend.

Some study Him, some look up to Him, some learn from Him, and some follow Him...... Many scholars have even mentioned in public and private that they were honored to be born in this era, to witness this tumultuous history, and to the rise of a wise monarch who thought it was great and legendary!

The big picture is decided.

The rolling torrent has become the general trend, and the upper echelons of the entire human race have taken advantage of this prosperous era to frequent exchanges, unconsciously forming a not-so-close, but incomparably large interest group with the newly-born Principality of Stuart as the core.

Even if it is as powerful as a mage group, in front of this huge interest group, it has to temporarily bow down.

Taking advantage of this surging prestige, the new Holy Stuart Kingdom suddenly announced that His Majesty Rincter would personally visit the Holy Empire at the invitation of Antleio III of the Holy Empire!

(To be continued)(To be continued......

PS: Everyone is scared!

Lanster's imperial cultivation is not a coup d'Γ©tat route, but a route of political unity, based on Stuart itself, he really can't annex the Merlin Empire, even if he has a regency, unless I write Lenster as a power-hungry power-hungry person, and Merlin will make the people miserable and fall apart, there is a small chance of achieving annexation, and this annexation must have a lot of luck and golden fingers.

As a logical party, I said that I can't get past my own level like this, and if Lanster becomes like that, the heroine may personally chop him, so the full text is over? ←_←

In other words, I should be the author of this route in the whole network literary world...... Drunk for his own brain hole~
