Chapter 209: Divine Authority of the King
The sun rises and the rose-scented morning shines on the capital of Bansar.
Fei Pigeon City, an ancient city with a history of 1,000 years, is now lively and solemn.
It's not because there's some huge sacrificial ritual going on.
Rather, those who insist on holding those ancient and obsolete rituals today will be ridiculed loudly and looked at with contempt.
Because just three days ago, their threefold great, His Majesty Saint Laurent, had given the supreme prayer in the holy city of Frankfurt.
Roland declared that in this generation, all beings are equal.
Until the sea dries up, the sky cracks, and the oasis turns into a desert, until the last twilight comes and the sun never rises, worldly power is always lower than divine power.
Roland declared that the authority of all secular emperors in the old age had been abolished, and that everything would start from scratch in the new generation.
In this world, Roland is the only one who has the right to crown the emperor. And those emperors were only the agents of Roland's authority.
That is, Roland is the guru's agent, and the secular ruler is Roland's agent.
Of course, all they had to do was submit to Roland, and if all were equally obedient to the many commandments of the Guru, Roland and his disciples were allowed to preach in their kingdom. If they do so, Roland will give them the blessed land, and give them their country again, and give them earthly rights.
But if, on the other hand, they refuse to stand with Roland, then there is a great sin in their kingdom.
Everyone believed that if that time came, Saint Laurent would let the plague and curse flow in their kingdom. Their mountains will crack, their mountains will fall, their rivers will flow backwards, and their fields will be left unreaped.
Roland's seven miracles convinced everyone of them.
You see, it is a threefold great Saint Laurent—the agent of justice and truth, the king of the earth, the blessed of all things.
The great miracles he performed were everywhere, and how could mortals resist his will?
On the day of the miracle, the queen of Bansa publicly declared that she would dedicate her country to Roland as a letter of faith, hoping that he would bring her into the Holy Church; And the next day, Empress Suze and the king of the mountain people of Fararo also announced their acceptance of Roland's rule and domination. Not to mention Carral, who had identified herself as a disciple of Roland the day before the day before Roland's miracle.
At that time, there were still many people who expressed incomprehension of her behavior. Archduke Caral immediately declared Helgar's crime to be heinous, called on the people to resist this "thief of the country who deceived everyone" in many fields, and even sent troops to encircle and suppress her.
But only two days of such a day passed, and on the second day of the third day of miracles, Roland's great miracle covering the world in the early morning made Roland's voice heard by all.
And after that, the big anomaly that appeared in the direction of the Holy City made people more clearly aware of Roland's great power-
At that moment, a huge yellowish figure that reached into the sky appeared out of thin air.
The somewhat abstract figure looked a little like an ascetic with a face held high. His long, dusty hair was blown by an invisible hurricane, dancing toward the hunt.
Even from a distance of thousands of miles, people still feel the violent hurricane roaring through the sky. The icy air flowed and slapped in his face.
In that level of coercion, even the sky collapsed. Above the dim yellow giant, layers of faint, vague gray patches appeared on the wall of Aum, and the colored runes on it were all obscured by the color blocks, and a series of runes lost their light.
The giant seemed to be facing the sky that was about to collapse, with his face held high, his hands folded in front of his chest, as if roaring at the sky.
After that, a brilliant light like the creation of a world burst out from the huge figure and pierced into the sky, like a giant projecting a silver-white light spear, piercing the dome fiercely!
It was a blow that brought the age of God to an end.
It was the twilight of the gods, the blow that ended the history of the gods!
At that time, Roland's prayers were also heard by the wind.
He shouted, shouted.
The voice said—
"God's age is over! Your generation has come! ”
After that, the world changed overnight.
Not only did the people not blame the subservient emperor, but the Grand Duke of Caral and the Emperor Titan were condemned by the people and were under tremendous pressure.
They were simply stunned.
From ancient times to the present, no one dared to point at their nose and scold them - all of them fought with their lives against their emperor, even as a sacred mission, a great sacrifice.
The Grand Duke was restrained on the same day and bound to Helga. Two-thirds of the nobles of the Duchy of Caral did not hesitate to surrender to Helga, and Helga accepted them all.
Afterwards, Helga hanged the Grand Duke and his people in front of the people and nobles of Karar.
From that moment on, the short centuries-old legacy of the Duchy of Caral came to an end.
Standing on the ruins of Karar was the Principality of Saya, which was still attached to Bansar.
And in Titan, too, people ushered in a carnival.
They were fascinated by the feeling of walking down the street and seeing that everyone was a kind brother and sister.
The commoners, who did not even dare to look up at the knights, came to the emperor's chambers with their heads held high, and cursed his stupidity and stubbornness.
And the court guards no longer obeyed the orders of the great nobles and the emperor. With the exception of a very small number of dead soldiers, the whole country betrayed him overnight.
In just three days, the old emperor, who was already old and sickbed, had fainted five times in anger. His expression deteriorated every day, and the people saw this sign as Roland's punishment for him, and every day they let out a louder cheer.
In just three days, all the people who were originally stuck in the Black Iron and Bronze Levels all advanced to the Bronze Rank without exception, and one-third of the people in the Bronze Rank advanced to the Silver Rank, and one-third of the people in the Silver Rank advanced to the Gold Rank.
Overnight, the sky changed.
All those who were drenched in light and rain, without exception, entrusted their faith to Roland. Only the very few dead soldiers who did not get drenched in the light and rain retained some loyalty to the royal family.
But that pitiful number and stagnant strength were nothing in the face of the people of Titan, who had made great progress.
The territory held by the great nobles and the dead soldiers of the imperial family shrank little by little, and on the third day, their range of activities was even directly compressed into the emperor's bedroom. Even everyone, including the old emperor, had no hope of turning the tables around.
- On the third day of the Great Miracle, the only place they would have in control was this last palace. Even everyone believed that this was nothing more than the last bit of face for the old emperor, for the former rulers of the country.
These last seventeen people, plus an emperor who is about to die of old age, are the last citizens of this thousand-year-old empire.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the old emperor to breathe. There were even whispered prayers with anticipation on their faces, hoping that Roland would take away his soul.
Because they have been given equality. And it is equality under God's supervision.
Although they don't know what equality is and what equality can bring them to – they do know that it means that they have the right to live in the world as human beings, not as animals.
According to the black-robed men in the beak masks who appeared in the city like a gust of wind, equality meant that they had the right to reason with the nobles from now on, that anyone who killed them would be held legally responsible, and that even the lords could not take away the income of their labor......
And so on, those black-robed people said a lot. Many people expressed surprise and extreme dissupport for this. They think that if they do this, they will lose the traditions that have been passed down since ancient times, and if there is no order in society, everything will be chaotic.
However, the black-robed man stopped them with just one sentence.
"Order? Tradition? No kidding, all you need is the laws of His Majesty Roland. ”
Suddenly, they were speechless.
Think about it too. Now there are no more wars, no more people starving, no more wanton nobles and lords, and all people are bound by Roland's laws - where is there no order? That's the creation of a new order.
Now, amid the chanting and praise of the people, the young queen of Bansa, Ivana, finished bathing and changing, dressed in a simple and clean white dress, which was tightly dressed as a queen, and slowly walked from the outside to the temple that belonged to her.
In front of her, there were flower petals scattered on the ground. The candles of the flame were lit in rows on both sides, and the people cheered and praised.
Where is this surrender? Even the big victory didn't have such a majesty -
Ivana sighed, but said nothing.
Except that these people no longer knelt before her, everything was the same as before.
This came as a deep surprise to her.
Roland would really give her back her authority - this made her incomprehensible for a while.
Later, however, when Roland talked to her alone, he easily explained her doubts.
At that time, he said meaningfully: "Your previous belief was to let people return to the emperor before death and to the gods after death. I'm different, I'm making everything under the world yours...... And you belong to me. ”
Thinking of this, Ivana couldn't help but admire Roland's striking.
This kind of bearing is the true conqueror. He is worthy of calling himself the king of the earth.
From then on, all the earth is his, and all he has to do is take them back and give them away.
If there was anyone in the world who could conquer her as a man, it would probably be Roland alone.
Therefore, she was not very resistant to giving everything she had to Roland.
And as soon as she walked into Roland with the majesty of her former queen, she looked up at Roland with her little face held high.
At this time, Roland was also staring down at her.
Her delicate and childish countenance, and her she, who was half a head shorter than Roland, did not hide her nobility.
Inevitably, the brilliant golden whip, bound into countless small strands, reminded Roland of Anvilia.
But of course, Ivana doesn't have the kind of long hair that has been brewed over thousands of years, and her hair is only shoulder-length. As usual, she would pull her hair back up, and let the rest out through the gap behind the crown.
But at this time, she wore nothing on her head, revealing a smooth and noble forehead.
Roland stared at her silver-gray pupils like mercury, and Ivana simply admired Roland's delicate and gorgeous face, and for a while the two stared fixedly, time seemed to stand still for a moment.
In fact, Roland's temperament at this time was far more excited than he appeared.
Because on the second day of the miracle, all his tasks were judged to be completed—
【Seven Great Wonders (7/7)】
[Personal Mission Glory (2) has been completed, whether to accept the phased reward and start the next stage of the personal mission]
【End of the Generation of the Gods (1/1)】
[Personal Quest Plague Revival has been completed, whether to accept the reward]
And after Roland clicked confirm without hesitation, he didn't get the glory (3), but got a completely new mission.
【Mission Accomplished】
[You have become the Pope of the Sleeping Teacher]
[You have full access to the Dream of the Sleepless]
【You've got a new template】
[You've got new information about your personal quest—]
People ask for miracles, but there are no signs for them in this generation, except for the miracles you have done.
[Your mentor can protect you, but she can't protect this world]
[The world is crumbling, there is no glory, no hope, no future]
You will be able to receive glory and praise, but you will not be able to save the world.
[Roland, you still have one last chance to turn back]
[If you're a fool who will do anything to save the world—]
【You've got a new mission】
[Personal Quest Glory (3): Complete Destruction of the Ring of the South Wind (0/1), cannot be selected at the same time as Personal Quest Praise (1)]
[Personal Quest Praise (1): Re-establish the Legacy of the Three Saints (1/3), cannot be selected at the same time as Personal Quest Glory (3)]
…… So, how to choose, is already self-evident.
Roland took a deep breath, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He reached out and gently placed it on Ivana's forehead.
Ivana closed her eyes and slowly knelt down on one knee.
"Ivana, would you like to follow me?"
"I will give you my body, spirit, and soul."
"Ivana, are you willing to believe in the Three Saints?"
"I will believe in the Three Saints for the rest of my life forever."
"Ivana, will you honor my covenant with you?"
"I will keep and obey all the commandments that you and the Three Holy Places have commanded."
"Ivana, I want you to swear here—"
Roland's voice grew more serious, echoing and rumbling thunder in the air.
Even with it, Ivana's crisp voice also sounded after Roland: "I swear that I will keep the Tao of the Three Saints all my life, I swear that I have given everything to Saint Laurent, and I swear that I will keep everything that Roland has given me three times greater." ”
"I swear to keep the peace of all things, I swear that I will oppose any greed and injustice, I swear that I will be fair and merciful, I swear that I will defend the right of my people to live, I swear that I will defend the dignity and creed of my people as if they were my own life, and I swear that I will never give up the possibility of saving any of my people in any danger."
"I swear that I will live as a believer and die as a believer. Today, every day, until death. ”
"Good."
Roland slowly opened his eyes, and the flame burned in his eyes. The flame flashed in her hand, and the white clothes on Ivana's body burned out instantly, revealing the luxurious imperial robe below: "Then, I will crown you." ”
With that, Roland raised Bansa's golden crown high and slowly buckled it on Ivana's head, who was kneeling on the ground.
After a brief silence, the cheers almost toppled the roof.
"Praise Roland! Praise the Queen! ”
"Praise Roland! Praise the Queen! ”
"Praise Roland! Praise the Queen! ”
Without warning, Ivana flashed such a concept in her mind-
The generation of mortals has finally come. (To be continued.) )
