421 Gods of Coexistence (4) (6000+ Update Drops)
"History is full of fog, and an empire that was once glorious and glorious has been reduced to dust in an instant. The gods have written their destiny with their will, and it is difficult for human beings to change it! And the world is like an oven, scorching all beings, making them struggle to survive, and letting them end up in the most glorious momentβthis is the evil taste of God......"
A handsome troubadour riding a donkey sings words that anger the clergy of the old church.
The clergy of the old church would have been eager to burn him at the stake to show him that he could not defile God.
"Eric, it's almost Caesar, don't sing your song."
Eric. Stujak whistled, he has a relatively rare gray pupils and blonde hair, this strong color contrast, can not lose his beauty, deep facial features are not detracted by the beard, on the contrary, the beard adds to him the charm of a mature man.
In Caesar, as well as in more than a dozen surrounding countries, there are many colors such as pale gold and silver white, and there are really not many people with bright golden hair.
Several of the women in the caravan looked over to Eric.
Seeing this, the person who was talking to Eric just now showed a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred, he looked at the little white face riding a donkey, and leaned over and said, "Eric, you can't take all the girls away, I haven't married a mother-in-law yet." β
Eric blinked innocently: "Then do you need me to tell them that my mother-in-law has to be the good woman who stands up to the sky?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Hmph, Eric, don't be too demanding, although you are handsome, but you can stand up to the sky, there are only a few queens, don't you want to marry the queen?"
"Why not?"
Hearing this, the man next to him suddenly gave him a thumbs up: "There are not many queens around here who are not married, but speaking of which, Caesar's new queen is not married yet!" I'll go, Eric, but don't tell me you're here for Queen Caesar!" β
Eric didn't speak, and a hint of something else flashed in his gray eyes.
"Tsk, if it's another queen, you might be okay, but now this Queen of Caesar, don't think about it."
"Tell me, why can't Queen Caesar think about it?" Eric had a smile in his voice.
The big man who spoke to him only took his words as a joke.
They were commoners, lowly merchants, how could they have anything to do with the queen, unless they were nobles, or a king with a territory and a prince with an inheritance.
"Claudia, Queen Caesar, was the daughter of two kings, and Caesar was the united state of the two kingdoms of Kelica and Samel. Claudia's mother was the queen of Samel and her father was King Keliya, the only daughter of the two kings. She could have been said to have the most noble bloodline, but when her mother was burned at the stake in the name of colluding with demons, she went from the most noble bloodline to the lowest. β
"Queen Samel I has supreme power, I swear! At the time when Queen Samech, later Queen Caesar, was still alive, Caesar was definitely one of the most powerful of the dozens of surrounding nations. And now, Caesar is about to be reduced to the second rate, and he can only play prestige in front of a country like our Alexander! β
"Yes, yes, obviously Caesar was on a par with Irish Card, Osroni, and Clancy during the reign of the two kings."
Eric listened and smiled and said, "I'm from distant Osroni. β
"Tsk, you're from Osroni, it's going to take at least three months to get here, you've been gone for a long time."
Eric: "Yes, you can continue to talk about the new Queen Caesar, I only came to Caesar half a year ago when I heard that Caesar had a queen. It's a pity that there is too little news along the way. β
The big man was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "Eric, I'm right if you ask!" One of my cousins was a lady-in-waiting in the royal palace, and few knew Queen Caesar better than I did. β
"I have already said the life experience of the current Caesar Queen Claudia, in short, the golden pupils that were once regarded as glory were marked with the devil's contract, which burned Queen Caesar at the stake and made Claudia lose her royal favor."
"Snort"
Eric sneered and said, "It's not for this reason at all, it's that King Caesar doesn't want to share the royal power with a woman anymore, and he doesn't want to be one of the two kings." He was going to be Caesar's true and only king, and the rest was an excuse. β
Listening to Eric's rebellious words, Dahan didn't refute it.
They are different from ordinary people who have been brainwashed by religion, and they have more knowledge by traveling from south to north.
They understand that kingship and religion are two great nets that net all beings, and they are in it, because they also have their own beliefs.
"In any case, the queen died, and Claudia, who was only a princess at the time, was driven to Blackreef. No one thought of her as a character anymore, except for the current patriarch of the Gavin family, who was the teacher of Princess Claudia. β
"No one knows what happened in Blackreef, because everyone forgot about her at that time. When she comes back four years later, it will be a bloody bath in the palace. On that day, she killed the terminally ill King Caesar, her father. Then killed her brother, her sister, a total of twelve people, and then she ascended to the throne. β
Eric's eyes turned serious.
Because the distance was too far, or no one dared to publicize the queen like this, he did not hear rumors about how the queen would ascend the throne.
"Who are you?" Eric looked at the big man who told him this.
This big man was not like an ordinary merchant, he was born burly and had the same golden hair as he did - in fact, this kind of golden hair was generally owned by nobles, and ordinary people could only be regarded as light gold, much darker than theirs.
Judging by hair color, although it may not be all right, there is some truth in it.
The big man's face was full of beard, much more exaggerated than Eric's.
Because Eric can see his facial features clearly, his can no longer see clearly.
"I'll answer you later, if you still don't listen, the story is not finished."
Eric was not in a hurry: "Angus, please." β
"What outsiders don't know is that she was betrayed after only three days on the throne, and it was her teacher who betrayed her."
Eric: "Angus, I heard that Herman is still her Minister of State. β
Dahan sighed, "As the head of the nobles, Herman can't die. The queen's mind is not comparable to ordinary people. β
Eric defaults.
"That time, in that palace, it only took three days and three nights, there was a fight that outsiders didn't know, and in the end the queen won."
"She's a worthy king."
Eric commented.
"Unfortunately, no one will know."
No one would know what she did.
"All Caesar's subjects have already blamed Caesar for not raining for half a year." Dahan's tone was a little indignant.
"She's so unlucky." Eric said, "So, Angus, who are you?" β
Angus sighed, "It doesn't matter who I am, but Eric, we can swap last names." β
Eric: "Stujak. β
Big Han: "Howard." β
Both of them were stunned, looked at each other, and were speechless for a while.
Stujak was the surname of the Osroni Empire.
Howard is Caesar's national surname.
Both of them are of royal blood.
Both were silent for a while, speechless.
In the end, it was the big man who said: "My name is Abel. Howard, now Queen Caesar, is my older sister. Of course, I wasn't close to her. β
"I can see it." Eric laughed, "I'm curious about the Queen. β
After crossing the Pyrenees, they saw Caesar's royal capital.
It is located not far from the mountain range and is surrounded by several tributaries of the Danube River that flows through this continent.
From here, you can see the direction of the royal palace.
Next to the palace, there is a tall tower, which rises into the sky, but looks particularly sacred.
Eric: "What's that tower?" β
Abel: "It's the pope's residence." β
Eric's face suddenly looked respectful.
"Speaking of which, the Pope would have been in a country for six years, and now it seems that she has been here for almost four years."
"That's right, it's been almost five years."
"Five years ......" Erik flashed doubts in his gray eyes.
This time is really a bit of a coincidence.
He suddenly remembered a rumor that in every country where Pope Dean was there, something would happen that could determine the direction of the country.
Because of the Pope's lofty position on the mainland, no one dares to talk about it.
"Eric, tomorrow the queen will ask for rain in front of the church, Caesar hasn't had rain in half a year."
Eric: "What happens if I can't get the rain?" β
"Caesar will be in chaos again."
"Did you return to China because of this?"
Abel smiled helplessly, "You know, I'm just a tool to be used. β
The so-called supporters behind him want to use his name for personal gain.
"I prefer to be an ordinary businessman so that I can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. I don't want the throne. β
*
On the second day, Eric woke up and heard an extremely loud noise!
He opened the window and looked downstairs, and saw that the wide street was full of people.
The crowd kept moving in the direction of the tower, their faces full of excitement and madness.
The queen begs for rain.
When Eric realized what was going on, he began to wash up quickly, and after thinking about it, he shaved the beard he hadn't taken care of for a long time, and suddenly turned into a white face and whispered.
When he opened the door, he saw Abel, who put his shoulder on his shoulder, "Eric, I knew you were going to get out of here, let's go, I'll take you to see the queen!" β
On August 27, 1516, Caesar had not had a drop of rain for half a year, and the sky was clear and blue.
Not to mention the rain, not even a wisp of wind.
The sky stretched as far as the eye could see, and there was the occasional pinch of white clouds, and there was nothing.
On this day, it doesn't look like it's going to rain.
Because of Abel's relationship, Eric was fortunate to be at the front of the crowd.
He had long known that Caesar's current situation was a contradiction between the old church and the new church.
The Inquisition, which consisted of two churches, was even able to override the royal power to some extent.
The Pope is the representative of the new Church, but he is also known as a walking god who never interferes in the change of kingship in any country.
Slowly, the new churches in various countries have forgotten their original intentions and are no different from the old churches.
The Pope is like a deity, above all beings.
Today, Eric does not see Pope Dean here.
The earth was scorched by the sun, and even Eric was tortured by the scorching heat and sweated constantly.
With all due respect, he never thought it would rain!
The road from the royal palace to Caesar's Cathedral of the Holy Decision was almost crowded.
As the Queen, surrounded by the Knights led by Rory, walked through a section of the wide street that had been forcibly carved out by the soldiers, the crowd around her fell silent for a moment.
Eric froze as the queen in a linen robe and a crown approached him.
She was so beautiful, her skin whiter than the whitest snowflakes he had ever seen, her golden hair better than the sun that still radiated heat in the sky, and her golden eyes, which were different from those of the world, and the arrogance and confidence hidden in them were enough to break anyone's heart.
Eric suddenly understood why she was called a "witch", a "heretic", a "witch", and "a woman who made a pact with the devil......
It's really her appearance that is too grandiose, stunning, and terrifying.
People are always in awe of things that are too perfect.
If she is not the beloved darling of God, then she must be the devil's beloved weapon.
Her existence is enough to defeat all the ghosts and ghosts in the world.
It wasn't until she walked past that a buzzing murmur could be heard.
"The queen is so beautiful!"
"I heard that the Pope's appearance is even more outstanding!"
"Do you say the Pope will appear? The Pope has been coming to Caesar for four and a half years, and I have not seen him once. β
"It's still so hot today, it's impossible to rain, she's a heretic! He should be burned at the stake as a way to atone for his sins to the gods! β
.....
"You don't deserve to be a queen!"
Several monks from the old church, dressed in black monks' uniforms, stared at her with demonic eyes.
He held up the book of prayer to her and recited the words that forbade women to preach and demanded that women obey.
The people in the streets knelt down and chanted with themβa text that every person of faith would memorize, even if most of them were illiterate.
Unmoved, the queen arrives at the cathedral.
Father Solomon and Brother Tom were already there, and Claudia was passing by when she heard Father Solomon's voice, "Queen, don't struggle. β
Claudia paused, and she said calmly: "You also know that I am still the queen. β
She didn't care that they had to taunt them, and crossed them.
The church was also crowded with people, nobles, ladies and ladies.
Everyone watched as the queen walked slowly through the palace gate.
Civilians outside can also be seen.
They could see the altar inside the church.
Eric didn't know if it was caused by the sun, but he was very irritable right now.
He looked at the blonde-haired, golden-eyed queen, who looked like she was alone!
But so strong!
Even if she was just wearing sackcloth, he could see how strong she was!
Archbishop Robert was waiting for her at the altar.
Archbishop Robert is the one who has been ordained by Pope Dean.
He was also the first church leader to be subdued by Claudia.
But it can also be said to be the last to be taken.
Compared to Captain Rory and Minister of State Herman, Taylor. Robert was a man of faith.
She was only accepted by him the moment she ascended the throne half a year ago.
The sun was so strong that even the light shining through the glass windows of the dome was so dazzling that some people couldn't stand it and put their sleeves above their eyes to try to resist the glare of the light.
The structure of the church caused whispers to echo incessantly, and civilians in the squares and streets outside even fainted.
The sun was so big that almost everyone thought it was doomed.
In those echoes, Claudia heard the name of her mother, Queen Samer, Queen Caesar.
Her mother's name was associated with all sorts of unsavory words, which made her heart cold.
But she didn't care, she went up to the altar.
It's like when she ascends to the throne, she's isolated.
At this time, she was on the altar, not much better.
Before that prophetic dream, she had just experienced a betrayal.
This betrayal was the result of her once titular teacher, Herman. Gavin gave it to her!
Herman wanted to put her in the air for the sake of the family.
During her three days in captivity in the palace, she used countless means to finally seize power.
And what she has experienced now is not another betrayal.
It's just that this betrayal is because she is a woman.
It's a woman.
That's why it's called heresy.
Like her mother, Queen Samech, Queen Caesar.
This battle was even more tragic than the previous battle.
Because of the loss, there will be a crisis in her reign.
Of course, after winning, she will get more.
In that prophetic dream, she didn't ask for rain.
Today, however, there will be a sudden rainstorm. This rain was begged for by Father Solomon, the leader of the Church Inquisition.
In the last life, this rain was the key to the fall of Caesar's throne and the rise of theocracy.
Archbishop Robert's lips moved a few times, and he wanted to say something but couldn't,
He watched in silence as the queen walked up to the altar wearing a linen robe and a crown.
She knelt in front of the idol amid a low, noisy chatter.
Start praying.
She faces the idol and her back to the world.
Father Solomon, Archbishop Robert, and all the congregation opened the heavy Scriptures and were about to recite to everyone the prayers that should be in the ceremony for this very special "divine judgment".
The Queen was the first to speak.
"I believe in God! Our Saviour! It is you who bear our iniquity, who wears the crown of thorns for us, who is despised, ridiculed, reviled and scourged! For us, you have suffered so much! Can you heed the prayers of your humble subjects, bless them, and rain on them? Your heartfelt servant Claudia's heartfelt prayer! β
Claudia's voice echoed clearly through the cathedral.
There was an uproar in the church.
Queen, she interrupted the prayer that the ceremony must have!
"Sure enough, she is an alien who does not respect God, and her soul has been dedicated to the devil!"
Father Solomon stood not far from the platform, his old face shrouded in the shadow of the vertical pillars.
He clutched a yellowed holy book tightly in his hand, his shriveled body supported by the power of anger and hatred, and stood straight.
His eyes were fixed on the queen on the high platform without blinking, and his lips squirmed.
"You will be judged by the church and punished by God for your deeds today!"
Claudia didn't look at him, she looked at the god with a cold look in her eyes.
Once, when she died, the empire was on the verge of destruction.
She's responsible.
But God has a responsibility.
It did not save its subjects.
"God, please send rain and dew to prove that Caesar is infallible and I am infallible!"
But the members of the church who already had the church began to shout uncontrollably: "She is really a heretic!" Kill her! β
"God will punish her for her irreverence!"
"It's already divine punishment! It hasn't rained in half a year! β
"Kill her!"
"Kill her ......"
Chief Rory picked up his gun and pointed it at the noisy crowd.
The crowd was stunned.
"God, please send rain and dew to prove my glory as the daughter of two kings, Queen Caesar!"
Claudia took off the crown above her head and placed it on the altar rock in front of her, the gorgeous crown being particularly cold against the cold rock.
Robert heard her last words, and his voice was low and hoarse, as if the roar that had been suppressed for a long time and burst out of his throat was directed against fate and against the world.
"To prove that I am not a heretic with the Queen Mother, and to prove that my crown is well deserved!"
Sunlight shines through the painted rose window in the center of the pointed vault, enveloping the queen on the high platform with the majestic statue of the deity.
"Boom"
The sound of thunder and lightning appeared, and the next moment, the sun disappeared and the rain fell!
Under the idol, the queen stood up and turned to face her subjects.
The rainstorm brought anger to the world.
Everyone knelt down in fear.
"Queen Caesar!"
"Queen Caesar!!"
"Queen's !!"
ββ¦β¦β
*
Dean looked at the crystal ball in his hand and smiled.
The course of history is the process of human evolution.
Women occupy a part that cannot be ignored.
The oppression of women will never lead to real progress in society.
He picked up his beloved quill and wrote on the spellbook.
[Time: 1516-1571.]
Character: Claudia the Great
Event: Women Rise]
The world in front of him, the moment he wrote the words, turned into a picture scroll, which he reached out and fished out, and fell into his hand.
In the painting, it is a scene of the queen begging for rain.
Sacred idols, honorable queens, prostrate subjects, and the sluggish future king of Osroni, Eric......
Dean has no memory.
From the moment he was born, all he saw was Father Cole.
Father Cole, on the other hand, has been dead for hundreds of years.
That's right, Dean has lived for hundreds of years.
And in fact, not only for hundreds of years.
Because he can intercept a certain period of time, such as 1516, which he has experienced many times.
It's just not in Caesar, and it's not even on this continent.
He didn't know who he was, and he didn't even know why he existed.
He just walked in the long river of time, fished out the events of interest, wrote them into books, and painted them into pictures.
That's probably his calling.
"Where are you going next?"
In front of him, a river of fine fluorescent pieces appeared, and in it, there were pictures and faces.
Dean looked at it, suddenly looked at one of the scenes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's decided, it's you!" β
The magic orb next to him flickered, and he disappeared with the river of time.
disappeared along with it, as well as the memories of everyone in this era of him.
In 1516, in the midst of a torrential rain, under the statue of the gods, Claudia the Great, the future Queen of Caesar, had a moment of confusion in her eyes.
At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten something......
