Three years later, in 1256 A.D., William, at the age of fifty-three, officially abdicated and handed over the position of Emperor of the Lorique Empire to Charlemagne.

At the same time, he carried out a radical religious reform, making the Holy Religion the state religion of the Loerick Empire, collecting tithes on the continent and abolishing other rights, such as the right to issue indulgences, the right to swear allegiance to the church by receiving a book, and the right to be armed.

And completely combined the position of the Pope and the position of the Emperor of the Lorique Empire, the emperor is the Pope, and the **** is officially achieved.

The countries that William divided his sons with were also rooted in the local area, and one by one they all gained a firm foothold.

William finally had no worries, and one afternoon, William was sleeping with his aging body in tow.

He dreamed of a burst of Jin Ge Iron Horses, and when he had just arrived on this continent, several enemies were attacking his defenseless self.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was dreaming, as if he were the helpless young man.

William fled in all directions, and despite his best efforts, the enemy slowly caught up with him.

Finally, he was kicked to the ground by an enemy, who screamed loudly, "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”

But her pleas for mercy had no effect, and the enemy's sword was still slashed at his chest, and a stream of blood spurted out, rendering the entire dream extremely bloody.

"Ahh William abruptly woke up from his dream, clutched his chest and sat up shouting.

When he woke up, he saw Wella looking at him worriedly.

Wella sat on the bed and hugged William, then asked softly, "What happened William?" ”

William smiled reluctantly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted Wella on the back and said, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare!" Go to sleep! ”

William said, and then held Wella down on the bed and prepared to continue sleeping, but when Wella couldn't see it, he clutched his chest, which was still aching, as if everything he had just dreamed about was real.

For the next few months, William's chest had been aching faintly, and he looked at his chest, where there was indeed a wound, and that wound William remembered very well was that he was stabbed by the enemy on the battlefield shortly after he came to the mainland.

At first, he thought that this wound was not deep, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, but he didn't want to, and it was only after thirty-seven years that this wound came to his door.

William's body grew weaker and weaker as the wound gradually sucked the energy out of his body.

Charlemagne was very nervous, William's favorite son since he was a child, he had William's support all the way, and for his future stability, he even did not hesitate to abdicate himself and hand over the emperor's position to him.

And over the years, the father and son have had a lot of emotional exchanges, even if both parties are very busy, and both of them eat together every day without exception.

William's other sons were also very nervous, and all of them returned to Denlenburg to visit their father, and they never imagined that such a day would come.

Because in their impression, their father is always very powerful, and he can always do things that he can't do easily.

No one thought that such a strong father would be so weak one day, and when his children gathered, William smiled.

He laughed very weakly, because now he didn't even have the strength to laugh, and everyone didn't expect that a person who was so strong in the past would now be so weak and fell to this point.

He is also in his fifties now, his beard has turned white, and his face is full of wrinkles, he has long since reclaimed the tribe that belonged to his father, and now serves as the real duke of the Lorik Empire.

He said: "William, who will get better soon, I am still waiting for you to drink with me again and fight side by side!" Just like thirty-seven years ago when we were robbers! ”

Urimu's eyes were filled with tears, but he smiled when he said this.

Next to him, who was in his sixties and even older, Novan also said: "Yes, get better as soon as possible, we are all waiting for you!" ”

William glanced at his children, who were basically carrying children with them, and their own family had already flourished.

In fact, William felt that even if he died like this, it was nothing, he had enjoyed all the prosperity and luxury in this world, and as the emperor of the Lorik Empire, there was nothing he had not enjoyed.

The only thing he couldn't reassure about was Wella, the grief of his wife, who had been with him since she was a teenager, after her death.

And in addition to Wella, there is also Lingsi, he seems quite guilty about Lingsi, and until now, he has not been able to give Lingsi any name.

At this time, little William came to his side, squatted down and said, "Grandfather, get well quickly, I'm still waiting for you to play with me!" ”

William Jr. is Charlemagne's eldest son, this name was given by William, and he named his sons more "elegantly", so he was also very careful about the name of his eldest grandson, and he hoped that his eldest grandson could make extraordinary achievements like himself.

William touched Little William's head with a smile, and then said: "Little William, listen to your father in the future, and this empire will also be your ...... in the future!" ”

After speaking, William seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and his withered hand hung down, completely losing his breath.

William's eldest son, Charlemagne, came to William's side with a trembling body and carefully put his finger on William's nose.

When he found that William was no longer breathing, his mind went blank.

"Father...... Father......! ”

As he shouted, the room was in chaos, his children and grandchildren were crying, and the two old men, Nuwen and Hulimu, were also crying with red eyes, but they still shouted with awe: "What are you crying about! Your Majesty, he has made great achievements in his life, what is there to cry about! He is now returning to the Father! ”

A group of children stopped crying, but the tears in their eyes still couldn't stop flowing.

Wella and Lingsi had already fainted at this time, and William's death was too great a blow to both of them.

On the same day, the current Emperor Charlemagne announced to the whole continent that the first and founding emperor of the Lorique Empire, William. Wallace died in the palace.

The whole continent was in mourning, and almost everyone was praying for this great emperor, and everyone believed that His Majesty Wilhelm had gone to the Holy Father after his death.

Charlemagne also struck while the iron was hot, giving William the title of the Iron Cross in the Holy Father's Crown.

After William's death, he found himself in a strange state, all the discomfort in his body disappeared, and he felt a little confused.

Finally, I don't know how long it took for him to regain his happiness again.

But everything that appeared in front of him was not what he was familiar with.

He was floating around.

"Library?" William looked at the few large characters written in Lorde script in front of him, and then floated in curiously.

When he entered, he found that the people here were dressed very differently from his impression, but there was no difference in appearance.

Hearing a debate in front of him, he drifted over curiously.

"I'll just say that the Iron Cross Emperor died very strangely, how could such a strong body die in just a few months? It's definitely a conspiracy! ”

"Impossible, the Iron Cross Emperor Wilhelm died very peacefully, not to mention that he got along very well with his family, Charlemagne also specially built a memorial church for his father, and Wilhelm II the Great went to worship his grandfather every year!"

William listened, Charlemagne, Wilhelm II the Great? Could it be that Charlemagne and William Jr. are being spoken?

William didn't expect that so much time had passed in his stunned state.

"What's going on with these two guys? How did they get into a fight? A bystander asked.

"Don't mention it, that person is an angry young man, since His Majesty William IX asked people to develop sea routes, and defeated the group of people from the Eastern Empire with breech gun warships, they thought that they could also develop new routes, so they have to argue here every day to let others pay attention to them, hoping to be valued by the Imperial Admiralty because of this!"

"But seriously, the new muskets of the empire are really powerful, and they have destroyed the Kajisai dynasty, which was originally on the verge of rising again!"

"Whew! What kind of thing are those Piars? Not only did His Majesty the Iron Cross the Great defeat them many times, Charlemagne also organized many crusades, and when it came to His Majesty Wilhelm II, he directly destroyed them! ”

"The current Piyards are nothing more than a bunch of impostors and despicables!"

"Isn't it expensive, have you heard? The crown prince of the Rhodeland Empire wants to marry the second daughter of His Majesty the Emperor! What do you think about this? ”

"Wishful thinking!" The man said, "Does the Rhodesan Empire still think that they are the number one power on the continent in the history books?" They have long lost their original glory, the thirty-three emperors of the Lorik Empire, more than five hundred years of glory, do they want the inheritance of the Lorik Empire? ”

Listening to their conversation, William couldn't help but feel quite happy in his heart, the empire he created was still strong after so long, and his descendants still enjoyed incomparable glory.

From their previous conversations, William had already speculated that it had been at least a hundred or two hundred years since the Renaissance, because the word knight did not appear in their mouths, and if it were not for the complete elimination of knights by firearms, William believed that knights would still be the focus.

After so many years, the scenery of the Lorik Empire is still the same, and he has let go of the biggest worry in the letter, and he finally drifts around with the breeze without regrets.
