Chapter 124: Empress Selena

In the middle of the imperial capital, in the majestic temple, hundreds of heavily armored Templar Knights, and almost the same number of nobles in sumptuous robes, stood neatly under the high platform.

There were thousands of people on both sides, but they only occupied a small area in this huge, magnificent temple.

Hundreds of meters high, several people hugging the huge stone pillars, occupying the entire wall, even if you raise your head hard, you can't see the whole picture of the giant relief, as well as the huge stone platform made of black stone in front of them, more than ten meters high, nearly 100 meters wide, connected by dozens of wide steps, all make these thousands of people deeply feel their own insignificance, in front of Chen Mo, who is high on the throne of the gods, they feel like ants, humble, small.

After all, it was the real gods who sat on the throne! And they're just a bunch of mortals.

Chen Mo summoned all the courtiers in this temple, which he had never visited in person since it was built, and naturally he had something important to announce.

Looking at the people standing solemnly below, Chen Mo on the throne of the god had a solemn face, and secretly spoke slowly with reminiscence.

"It has been eight years since I came into this world."

Chen Mo's majestic voice sounded in the temple, and the thousands of people standing neatly under the hall could clearly hear every word he spoke.

"Now that the werewolves have been wiped out, the continent is unified, and my people are safe."

"It's time for me to go back."

The people below listened to what Chen Mo said, and their faces were still full of reminiscence and reverence, but when they heard the end, Chen Mo said that he was leaving, and they were all surprised.

"Master!"

"Your Majesty!"

Chen Mo is their faith, their allegiance to the master, has been leading them forward, guiding them in the direction, but now, he suddenly said that he was leaving, which made the people below at a loss for a while, and fell into incomparable panic and chaos.

Seeing this, Chen Mo frowned slightly, raised his right hand and pressed it gently, and the chaotic people below instantly quieted down, looking at Chen Mo on the throne with a hesitant face, their god, their emperor, is leaving them?

However, some people also slowly reacted, their emperor was not an ordinary person, but a true god from the heavenly realm, and it was impossible for him to stay in the human world forever.

Now that the entire European continent has been united, the werewolves have been eliminated, wars, hunger, and poverty are all in the past, and the days of misery and hardship are gone.

God has saved his people from despair and brought them a life of stability and abundance, and it is time for him to return to Heaven, which is, after all, the kingdom of God.

Without paying any attention to the people below, Chen Mo raised his head and cast his gaze towards the gate opposite the main hall.

"Selena!"

Chen Mo's voice was majestic and grand.

As Chen Mo's words fell, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and the dazzling light shone in from the outside, and the entire gate was like a golden light door, dazzling and holy.

Under the gaze of thousands of people in the main hall, a petite figure slowly walked out from the holy light.

Selena was wearing a holy and elegant white dress, with her soft long blond hair draped behind her head, and walked slowly towards everyone with light steps.

The two rows of huge stone pillars in the middle of the hall formed a wide passage, and Selena's small figure crossed the rows of stone pillars, passed between the knights and officials, and came to the bottom of the stone platform.

Everyone on both sides looked at Selena with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Chen Mo was doing when he summoned her in.

Only the four Andrews, who were standing at the front of the queue under the high platform, calmly looked at little Selena, who walked past them with a small face, and was climbing towards the high platform, without the slightest surprise on their faces.

Selena held the hem of her skirt in her small hand, stepped up to the high platform step by step, and came to Chen Mo.

Looking at the petite and beautiful little Selena in front of him, Chen Mo's majestic face showed a kind look, slowly stood up from the throne, and stroked his right hand on Selena's little head.

In the puzzled gazes of everyone below, Chen Mo's deep and majestic voice slowly sounded.

"In my name, now, canonize Selena as the Holy Maiden of the Temple, rule over the Temple, and be my apostle on earth."

Hearing Chen Mo's canonization, the people below who had just recovered from the shock of Chen Mo's imminent departure were not too surprised.

Chen Mo had not paid much attention to the temple and beliefs before, and this temple was still built under the auspices of Andrew and others.

Now that Chen Mo is about to leave, it is reasonable to choose a devout believer to be canonized as a saint and spread faith for him.

It's just that what Chen Mo said next, but it shocked them.

"The Imperial Throne is held by the Holy Maiden, and now Selena is crowned Empress of the Empire!"

As the majestic and grand voice echoed in the main hall, Chen Mo raised his hands, took out a gorgeous crown inlaid with diamonds from the void, and gently placed it on Selena's head.

The city lords and officials below looked at the little Selena who was crowned by Chen Mo, and many people's eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light.

Originally, when Chen Mo was in power, they were still very afraid of this emperor who was as strong as a god and defeated and conquered them, and they didn't dare to have the slightest undue thought.

Chen Mo's later noble titles canonized according to their merits were not high, and they did not have the right to conscript, so they honestly served Chen Mo with peace of mind.

It's just that now Chen Mo claims that he is about to leave and passes the throne to a teenage girl, which makes many people who are just afraid of Chen Mo's power have strange thoughts in their hearts.

Surrendering to Chen Mo, they were willing, although many people did not believe in the identity of Chen Mo's gods, but it did not affect their fear and obedience to Chen Mo in the slightest.

But a teenage girl who wanted to be their empress couldn't make them obey willingly and show their loyalty like she did to Chen Mo.

Just when many people's eyes flickered, Andrew, Victor, Amelia and Marcus, who were at the front of the queue, fell to the ground on one knee and shouted in their mouths as soon as Chen Mo's words fell.

"Long live Her Majesty!"

Behind them, hundreds of Templar Knights naturally had no doubts about Chen Mo's decision, and now that Selena had been canonized by Chen Mo as the Holy Maiden of the Temple, the Empress of the Empire, then she was the person they needed to protect and obey.

"Whoa! Crash! ”

Immediately behind Andrew and the others, hundreds of powerful Templar Knights in heavy armor fell to their knees neatly, chanting in their mouths.

"Long live Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"

"Long live Her Majesty!"

The deafening sound echoed throughout the hall, shaking the hearts of the noble officials standing on the side, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Many of the nobles who had different thoughts looked at the tall, powerful, and imposing Templars on the other side, and wisely erased the thoughts that had just popped into their minds.

With these terrifying temple knights who were extremely loyal to Chen Mo and conquered the entire European continent for him, invincible and invincible, coupled with the assistance of the four dukes who held most of the power of the empire, no one could shake the position of empress of this little girl who came out of nowhere.

In this case, why bother to hit the stone with an egg and bring about their own destruction, they are actually very satisfied with their current life, and more rights are not something they can grasp.

As a result, after a group of Templar Knights, these city lords and officials in charge of administrative affairs in various parts of the empire also fell to their knees and shouted in their mouths.

"Long live Her Majesty!"

Chen Mo saw the performance of the people below in his eyes, and Chen Mo didn't take those city lords and officials to heart, nor did he have the slightest worry.

No matter how powerful the power they had in their hands was when they were once counts, marquises, or dukes, but now, they were just ordinary administrative officials who had some ability to manage the place and handle government affairs for Chen Mo.

Among them, the highest title is only a viscount, and more of them don't even have a title, which is completely rewarded by Chen Mo according to their political achievements and performance.

People with excellent abilities and enough loyalty, Chen Mo didn't mind giving them higher titles, or even transforming them into vampires, but unfortunately, except for Victor, none of them were so good or loyal enough.

It's just that now he needs them to help manage this huge empire, and Chen Mo doesn't care about their loyalty.

After all, even if they wanted to rebel, they needed to have enough strength, but obviously, they didn't have the strength to threaten the empire.

They have no access to military power at all, and the administrative power is also checked and balanced by each other and supervised, even if they want to use the power in their hands to make some trouble, it is actually very difficult.

Therefore, their only choice is to do their job well and accumulate merit in order to obtain higher rewards, money, titles, fiefs, these are the real things they can seek.

At the same time, Chen Mo also had other arrangements for this, the war was over, and the loyal knights of the Knights of the Templars no longer needed to go into battle to kill the enemy.

In the past three years, in addition to being responsible for training the new army, they have been learning cultural knowledge and cultivating administrative ability under Chen Mo's arrangement, after all, most of them have no experience in managing places and handling government affairs, and many of them don't even know a word.

However, the most important thing for vampires is time, they have enough time to learn slowly, and eventually they will grow enough to bear the burden of the lord of a city, and when the time comes, they will replace these officials and take charge of the entire empire.

These officials are rewarded for their performance and return to their estates to enjoy their retirement, or, as a new vampire, to truly join the ranks of the rulers of the Empire.

It was up to them to die of old age in a gorgeous bed or to hold a scepter and gain eternal life.
