Chapter 248: Return Banquet (Ask for Subscription) Thanks to the sad onlookers for rewarding, I haven't had time to look backstage recently
If a ruler is too prestigious, too long, it will definitely affect the development of divine power, this is almost inevitable, the current Silver Moon Kingdom, divine power is basically strictly restricted, no temple dares to go out of line, otherwise, Queen Xinbu's words can make it difficult for them to move an inch.
It is because of Her Royal Highness the Queen, the Magic Church, which has always been very low-key, has many believers in the Silver Moon Kingdom, you know, the Mysterious Lady's church is not very concerned about missions, after all, most of the people who can believe in the goddess of magic are spellcasters, and it is impossible for ordinary people to believe in the mysterious lady.
But because of Queen Xinbu, the magic church has a lot of influence in the Silvermoon Kingdom, after all, the queen is the chosen one of the mysterious lady, so even if the magic church doesn't preach much.
But there are still many ordinary people who believe in women, and of course, don't expect how religious these ordinary people will be, after all, they haven't even seen magic.
But this is nothing, there are many pan-believers, and they can also provide considerable faith power, and the Magic Church has gained a lot of faith effortlessly.
In fact, the goddess of magic does not rely much on faith, after all, as long as the magic web exists, the mysterious lady will continue to gain power. However, no one (God) would dislike his own strength.
Saying all this is to illustrate Queen Xinbu's prestige in the Silvermoon Kingdom. What would happen if Soram turned down an invitation from such a person?
Of course, according to the queen's temper, it is estimated that she will not care, after all, compared with Solam, the gap between her and Soram is too big, whether it is in terms of ability or age, the queen really wants to worry about Solam, that is called losing her share.
But those people under the queen will not let go of Solam, although there is no such thing as a king humiliating the death of a minister in this world, but no one will watch his lord be despised for no reason, yes, if Soram refuses the queen's invitation with a shameless face, then what is it not to despise the queen?
What's more, now is a very sensitive period, and many nobles are grinding their fists to trouble Solam. As for why? That's not easy, what just happened is the best reason.
The government's propaganda can only deceive the common people, and those nobles now basically know the general situation of the matter, which was caused by Solam at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the culprit.
If you are looking for a child, you are looking for a child, there was such a big incident, and so many nobles were finished, and the most unhappy thing for the nobles of Silvermoon City was that Solam actually ran to persuade Mortas to turn himself in, because of his confession, and a large number of nobles.
What's more, this Solam is still a complete outsider, not even a human, you are an outsider, is the matter of Silvermoon City related to you? What's the matter!
So if there is a chance, those nobles who hate Soram will definitely not let go of the opportunity to clean up Solam, even if he is the king of the cloud giant, there are almost no high-level people in Silvermoon City who don't know Soram's true identity, but so what? If the cloud giant dares to go crazy, isn't there Her Majesty the Queen on top of it?
Their excuse is that Solam disrespects the Queen! They are angry for the Queen, can the Queen ignore them?
Her Majesty will defend them even if it is for the sake of her own face, and besides, it is impossible for them to kill Solam, and even if they wanted to, Her Majesty would not agree. So if there is a good excuse to clean up Solam, those nobles will definitely not let it go.
After all, the cost is really not big, and it can export gas.
In fact, if you really want to talk about this matter, the culprit is really not Solam, although Soram has indeed done a lot of things, but everyone knows that it is the princess and the queen who really caused all this.
However, who is not a fool to go to the princess and the queen for trouble? That's pretty much the same as looking for death! Naturally, Solam became a punching bag, who called him a soft persimmon?
Of course, the other people involved are not incapable of being punching bags, but Christie and Leah are both from the church, and they are not ordinary troubles when they clean up, and they will be targeted by their churches, and the gains outweigh the losses.
As for Philip, it is difficult to find him, and Philip's identity is a well-known master of painting in the mainland, and it will not have a good impact on him.
Only Soram is isolated, even if there are Mavis and Jacqueline behind him, you know, among the deposed central ministers, there is Mavis's father! So there's really a limit to what these two people can do.
When Mavis told Soram about the consequences of refusal, Soram was a little confused, okay?
"These nobles are too undisciplined, aren't they? Still specialize in pinching soft persimmons? ”
To be honest, Soram really has a toothache, not that he is afraid of them, when has Soram been afraid. It's just that he has to be dealt with for such a nonsensical reason, and it's too aggrieved, how can he say that he has also done a good thing!
Not only do these bastards not intend to reward themselves, but they also fucking want to deal with themselves, is there still a law of heavenly principles?
"Nobles, it's all like this, you just get used to it." Jacqueline patted Solam's shoulder with deep feeling and said helplessly. Jacqueline would say that, that's because she wasn't from a noble background, so she was very unaccustomed to some of the actions of the nobles.
Speaking of which, Jacqueline is really an inspirational object, she was born in a poor family, through her own efforts, step by step to today, not only her career is thriving, but also she has a beautiful girl. Of course, it would be better if her gender became male, otherwise the sense of substitution would be too bad.
To get back to the point, Soram now understands that he must attend the banquet this time, otherwise those inexplicable nobles really don't know what kind of moths will be made, and it will affect Soram's reading of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
It doesn't matter what else does, but the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, Soram can't give it up.
But the thought of wearing that disgusting outfit made Solam feel as disgusting as maggots.
In the end, Jacqueline came up with a trick that Soram reluctantly accepted.
Jacqueline's approach is very simple, that is, let Soram wear a knight's suit, but put on a beautiful high-grade magic armor outside, although it doesn't look like going to a banquet, but if it is gorgeous, good-looking, it will be.
After all, the martial arts style in the north is still very strong, and it is not out of the ordinary to do this, and many of those generals attend banquets like this.
But how to get this armor, it's a bit particular, don't really take the armor on the battlefield to the banquet, that maybe, some people with a heart will say that it is provocative, so the magic armor worn by Solam is the first thing to look good, as for practicality, then forget it, anyway, it's to participate in the banquet, not to fight.
Jacqueline has this proposal, of course there is a solution, she happens to have such a piece of armor here, it is the trophy she obtained when she traveled around the continent before, and it can be used by Soram to pretend.
***********
Three days later, in the palace of the Silver Moon King.
Today is the second day of the queen's return, which is also the norm, the queen will hold such a banquet after a long period of experimental research, first, to meet those ministers, and secondly, to show up in front of all the nobles, to tell everyone that the queen is fine, so as not to spread some unreasonable messages, affecting stability.
This is really not unfounded, this world is different from the ancient times of the previous life, pay attention to the rule of the Son of Heaven, it is best not to go out of the door, those who are ministers are afraid that the emperor will run around.
As for the people, although they say that they are loyal to the Son of Heaven, they actually don't know what the Son of Heaven looks like, so ah, if you really want to say allegiance, in fact, that's nonsense.
In this world, because of the existence of supernatural abilities, the situation is completely different, if a ruler does not appear for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some bad rumors, such as the ruler hanging, being controlled, or simply missing, and then it will lead to some things, which can easily lead to some chaos.
This kind of thing has not happened during the reign of Queen Xinbu, and it stands to reason that with the prestige of Queen Xinbu, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen, but it can't stop people from spreading the news everywhere.
As mentioned earlier, the people are the most easily deceived group, and as long as they say too much, the fake will become true. This is the so-called lie told a thousand times and it becomes true.
That was also the first time the queen did an experiment, and it seemed that she had fallen into a bottleneck, so it took a little too long to disappear, which caused people to panic, and even some foolish people, in the name of the queen's heir, to demagoguery everywhere.
Although this ridiculous deception was exposed, there were too many such things, and it really shook people's hearts, and some careerists at that time began to really consider carrying out an inheritance war. (War for Inheritance)
It is said that at that time, several nobles really used this banner to start recruiting, but fortunately, the queen returned at this time.
However, after the center at that time released the news, many people did not believe it, thinking that it was fake news released by the center in order to stabilize people's hearts, and some conspiracy theorists with dark hearts also thought that the center wanted to continue to hold power under the pretext at this time.
There was no way, the queen had to show up in a public place, and at the same time held a banquet to let all the nobles know that she had really returned, which stopped the turmoil.
It was also since then, every time the queen returned from research, she had to hold such a banquet, although the later it was, the less necessary this banquet became, after all, no one thought that the queen would have an accident.
But this banquet has been passed down as a tradition, and no one can object to the fact that the queen thinks it is necessary anyway.
Besides, many nobles in Silvermoon City only have this opportunity to see the queen, which can be regarded as a way to consolidate the ruling power, otherwise so many nobles who are loyal to the queen, if they have never seen the queen in their lives, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
