Today is the day of the accession of Elis II to the throne.

The sky was still gray, and it was the height of summer, but the wind was blowing on my body, and it was still cold.

Prince Elise had been standing in the cold wind until behind him, and several ministers cautiously surrounded him: "My king, the time is almost up. ”

"Are you so impatient?" Prince Elise frowned and replied, "Is it true that if I am a little late, the entire kingdom of Elise will be waiting to die?" ”

The ministers did not speak, but stood silently to the side.

The world is unpredictable, who would have imagined that Prince Elis, who had always dreamed of being king, would one day be so disgusted with ascending the throne.

Inheriting his father's throne was a grand ceremony...... From the moment when Prince Elise was sensible and knew his identity, every night before going to bed, he imagined what he would look like when he ascended the throne.

In his imagination, he would surely invite the nobles of all nations, who would decorate the walls with gold leaf, and the halls with woollen carpets, and the most ingenious craftsmen in the world, who would fill his father's humble crown with precious stones of different colors; On the day of the ceremony, he would announce that all the people in the royal city of Elise would eat free bread if they wished to say long live the king; He would place his sword on the shoulders of every great nobleman in the country, and make them know that he had become their new master; He wanted to build a glorious temple for God, so that every time the name of God was remembered, he would be remembered, Elise II......

After decades of princely career, Prince Elise's imagination of his ceremonies has been very comprehensive and detailed, and he has even figured out which chefs to use, what to use for the main course at the dinner, and what wine to accompany with the wine...... Which ministers will he promote and which will he punish......

Prince Elise even conceived exactly who and what he said to them, making sure that every word he said meant something and at the same time had the majesty of a kingdom......

But now, the coveted opportunity to ascend the throne is just around the corner, but Prince Elise has no interest.

Not only that, but it's simply an appetite.

How to describe it, it's like every girl who is pregnant with spring, always imagining the prince charming in her mind, always imagining a super luxurious wedding that belongs only to herself, a diamond ring with pigeon eggs, a Maldivian honeymoon, and a prince in a suit, driving a Rolls-Royce, and a new house full of red roses......

But when many people grow up, they find that the wedding dress is rented, the car is borrowed, the makeup artist makes up himself like a big white, the groom is played with by his mother's family like an SB, none of the wedding photos taken look like themselves, everyone is buried in eating at the wedding banquet, there are no red roses in the new house, only red red envelopes and RMB, and the two of them count the night and find that it is not enough for the cost of the wedding......

This is quite normal.

What's the worst?

Just like the old society in the past, washing people who are about to die of illness, the husband has been coughing constantly from meeting to the cave room, and the mother's family can't wait to send themselves away after receiving the money, just a few days after the wedding, the red dress has become white filial piety, and then the doctor tells himself to congratulate you on being pregnant......

Prince Elis's current mentality is the same as that of a child who has been in his belly for seven or eight months, and this enthronement ceremony is not enough for him to find a wet nurse for this child.

The oracles have been gone for more than a year.

The people of Elis, who had escaped the robbery, were ecstatic at first, but with the departure of the oracles, it was inevitable that everyone would begin to struggle for survival.

At first, everyone still wanted to go back and return to the previous track of life. But after the sentinels descended the mountain, they found that after the eruption, the original hometown of the Elis people had been turned beyond recognition by magma. What was once forest and farmland has now been burned to the ground, rivers have been cut off and diverted, and only the rock formations that have just covered it can be seen in the fertile land that was once reclaimed, as well as thick layers of volcanic ash.

Because of the ash, the climate of the entire continent has begun to become colder, and although it has recovered slightly, it is still far from what it used to be.

Unable to get out outside, more than 100,000 people are in the mountains, and can only rely on mushrooms and hunting for a living. For most of the past six months, wild boars and deer can still be seen in the surrounding mountainous woods, but now they ...... Not even a single mouse can be seen.

Elise could hardly imagine, and no one could imagine, what the main meat dish would be for the enthronement of King Elis...... It's a mushroom-roasted grasshopper.

In a few months, I am afraid that these hundreds of thousands of people will not even be able to eat grasshoppers, and it is said that many people have begun to study how to eat bats......

His father, King Elis, spent the last few months of his life dealing with the most government affairs by constantly adjusting the standard recipes of the kingdom of Elis.

Originally, the content of this recipe was not bad, and nobles of the rank of ministers and princes could also get a small glass of wine, two pieces of dry bread, and a few pieces of fresh roast beef at each meal.

But soon, the roast beef was eaten and it became horse meat.

Later, King Elise felt that the nobles needed to lead by example in the present state of the kingdom, so he set an example for himself, so that everyone could only eat two small slices of bread per meal...... For the rest, you can find the rest by yourself.

King Elise didn't need food, because the medicine for sweet urine had been almost exhausted by the oracle at that time, so he had to start starvation therapy again.

But the others did not get this disease, so they had to find a way to buy some to eat from the common people who grew mushrooms with their own belongings, and at the same time began to pray every night that either the messenger would come to fetch the king, or the king would go to the messenger early......

Perhaps because their prayers were too religious, this time it worked.

Only half a month later, his father, unable to endure the torture of hunger, opened several bags of noodles left by the divine envoy.

It is said that he ate 5 packs in one go, and even drank the soup clean.

And then died in the satisfaction of a full stomach.

He had eaten enough to leave, but the hundreds of thousands of Elise people continued to endure hunger.

Now, all of a sudden, there is hope, because they are about to have a new king.

At the time of Elise I's life, the title Prince Elise had no sense of existence, he believed in evil gods, he didn't lead wars, and he didn't contribute anything to the cause of mushroom cultivation after arriving here, and his only value seemed to be nothing more than because he was the only son of Elise I, nothing more.

But after Elise I was called by divine grace, everyone began to praise Prince Elise for his virtue.

Although he believed in the evil god before, after seeing the correctness of the true god, he immediately repented, and the prodigal son did not change his money!

He did not lead a war because he was always merciful and would be a merciful king!

He hadn't grown mushrooms, but he had publicly said that he wouldn't eat such a disgusting thing if he was killed, and now that mushrooms had become the biggest staple food in the entire kingdom, and the nobles had already eaten all their bread, the prince must have found a way to lead them to eat a new staple food!

For a time, Elise II became a saint!

But Prince Elise really didn't want to be this holy monarch at all, and in the months before his father's death, Prince Elis, who was already able to participate in political affairs, knew that now the entire Elise Kingdom seemed to be the volcano that was about to erupt......

The grain stock has been less than two months; The temperature rise is limited, but the trees in the entire mountainous area are cut down for heating; Because of the high density of settlements and the lack of medicine, the divine envoy had warned when he left, and all kinds of diseases were overflowing; The most important thing is that there is a rumor circulating at the bottom, which is about the oracle of God - the logic of this rumor is very strange - then again, the logic of the rumor itself is not very normal.

This rumor says that the oracle must have liked the king, so he chose the king of Elise among so many countries, and the reason why they are all alive is entirely because the king of Elis, who does not believe in other countries, have been buried in hell one by one. Therefore, there is only one reason why the Kingdom of Elise is so lucky to be saved by the true God, and they have a king who is pleasing to God.

Now that the king has been summoned by the gods, he will certainly speak good words before the oracles, and it will not be long before the oracles will come to their rescue.

But if God doesn't come, then it's necessary to be suspicious...... Could it be that the oracle has begun to hate the people of the Elise family...... In other words, the departure of the oracles may have been because of the Elise family......

At this point, the sinister intentions of this rumor have finally come to a conclusion.

If the oracle does not come after the new king takes office...... Then it is necessary to gather everyone with the surname Elise and sacrifice them one by one......

Not to mention Elise II, even when Elise I first heard this rumor, he was also trembling with anger.

But although Elise I was tortured by a terminal illness, he always maintained a trace of sanity - he knew that the current Elise Kingdom did not have any power to restrain the soldiers of the lower ranks.

This feeling, in the opinion of Elise II, is very similar to that of many countries that believed in the Great Sun God and the Little Sun God before the disaster.

That is, as soon as the power of God begins to overwhelm the power of the king, the center of gravity of the whole nation begins to shift from the aristocracy to those who have the power to interpret God's actions.

In those countries where there is faith, these people are naturally priests large and small, and they are entire religious institutions.

Fortunately, King Elis did not have a religious institution.

Unfortunately, the power of the interpreters is more powerful and actionable than the religious institutions - they are all the soldiers who have followed the oracles and participated in the battle.
