Chapter 238: Winterless Death VII
There is no shortage of smart people in the episcopal class of the church - even most of them are smart people, otherwise how could they climb to this position - they know very well in their hearts that "****" and "the kingdom of God on earth" are not as beautiful as they imagined, but they can't resist the temptation to become the founder and leave a name in history!
Standard Oil, founded by Rockefeller, was notorious for its monopoly and severely damaged the real economy of the year. But John Rockefeller has become an extremely dazzling figure in the history of the United States, and his historical status far exceeds that of countless presidents of the United States.
As bishops, they have given up all material pursuits, and they will never marry, and the only thing that can make them care is the reputation behind them. Because that reputation is not only about historical status, but also determines future ranking in the kingdom of God—we have to pay attention to it!
Think about it, Shen Yan's teacher Atwood was once a legendary hero, but after his soul arrived in the Kingdom of God, he still couldn't get a direct reception from Haim...... It's all too true. If it weren't for the success of the appearance of the "Templar" that reminded Haim of Atwood, the old man would not have known how long he would have been idle.
As a religious leader in a place, Archbishop Linton must be stable in the first place, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to stand up and do things. Therefore, even if he wanted to rise to a historical status, he had no chance, and he was already too old to be called by the Lord.
At this time, if a young man like Antoine is hot-blooded and impulsive, radical, and wants to establish the kingdom of God on earth, then he must secretly support it.
Especially at this moment, even if it costs a lot, Archbishop Linton must move things on!
What the? You said that you want to become a "****" Antoine but was killed? That's great...... It's so sad.
As for Tyr? He is completely desperate for this worse world!
Neverwinter is even more profit-seeking, hiding dirt and dirt! The more I looked, the more I wanted to burn down this place! Neverwinter has always emphasized its righteousness compared to the northern Luskan, but in Tyr's eyes, there is no difference between the two......
Tyr felt that even if it was replaced by the "Kingdom of God on Earth", it would be nothing, and he believed that under his strict supervision, no matter how bad it was, would it be worse than now?
*****
On the 4th of June, it was pouring rain, and the sky was rolling with a faint thunderstorm.
Erebeth walked in the rain, his Iron Boots splashing, invisible shields bouncing the rain away.
The Blue Palace was busy before, and even bad weather could not extinguish the enthusiasm of everyone, and almost all the nobles and big merchants in the city were rushing here.
A large red carpet was rolled down the stone steps, and the main entrance of the Blue Palace was wide open, and anyone who stepped on the red carpet could see the figure of the Lord of Nasher sitting on the throne from afar, as well as his excited waving hands and exaggerated body expressions.
It's a great day to celebrate......
Because Lord Nasher will announce today that the plague cure has finally been developed, and it will be released to the entire city of Neverwinter on the same day!
Although there were rumors that the mass production of civilian medicines had been delayed in order to make expensive versions of healing drugs for nobles, everyone was honestly accustomed to such things as "aristocratic privileges...... Better late than never.
Therefore, the vast majority of the people also went out of their homes at this moment, braved the rain to sing and dance, and sang the praises of Nasher's wisdom.
Nasher's prestige was at its peak.
Nasher, on the other hand, held a grand banquet at the Blue Palace, inviting all the nobles, temple leaders, a few great merchants, the Nine Guards of Winterless (except for someone), army generals, civil representatives, and "plague-solvers" to the Blue Palace! Celebrate this hard-fought victory!
The nobles and the great merchants came out of their homes, they had already taken the healing medicine, and there was no more plague to worry about. Nothing announces one's return like attending a royal banquet. Everyone will shed a few tears for the nobles who died in the plague, and then laugh and divide the benefits they left behind.
The "heroes who solved the plague" were naturally Arthur's party - and countless accolades piled up on them! Flowers and compliments abound! The bard is composing music for them! They are described as heroes who come out of the epic!
Of course, Vanswijk and Deszell, who developed the antidote, also shared the honor.
However, those who really did things in a down-to-earth manner in the plague, maintained law and order, isolated epidemic areas, collected corpses, suppressed riots, and paid a high price for ...... Erebes, paladins, and city guards were completely ignored, and they were not even treated with a penny.
But after all, someone still remembers!
When Erebeth braved the rain and approached the gates of the Blue Palace alone, "Commander! The guards standing in two rows straightened up, and the iron boots collided neatly! Instantly attracted all the eyes inside and outside the Blue Palace!
People looked at Erebeth from afar, and a "blank" social circle appeared around her.
When the plague is over, the cards will be reshuffled, and no one thinks that Erebes can win...... Because she doesn't even fight herself, naturally she has no chance of winning at all.
Erebeth didn't lift his head, and pressed the hilt of his sword into the Blue Palace alone through the side door.
There was a "boom" behind him, and the dazzling lightning pierced through the sky and the earth, illuminating the world white!
*****
Brother Shen: How was the banquet?
Sister A: It's boring...... ('ω')
……
After the feast began, Erebeth sat alone in a corner, holding the badge and chatting with his brother.
Although it seems to be invisible, if you know the content of her chat with Shen Yan, you should know that Erebes is actually in a good mood.
She also uses emojis to sell cuteness......
Those who stayed away from her couldn't hurt her—what about losing if you never expected it?
This is exactly what Erebeth has always insisted on, dealing with it impartially and not involving personal affairs.
How many people once persuaded her at the peak of her prestige, but now how many people stay away, watch coldly, and even fall into the ground. However, Erebeth didn't care about the ups and downs of those people, she had the strongest heart and the most powerful brother, and she didn't care about some scraps.
"We ...... Is it time to pass? Arthur asked as he looked at the emptiness of Erebes, confused. Erebeth is their recommender, and he should go and thank him.
But they are one of the focal points of the banquet, like the jewels on the side of Nasher's polished crown, and their every move will attract the attention of countless people.
This kind of gaze makes them a little drifting and stressed. So much so that they didn't even realize it, they were already subconsciously imitating the actions of those nobles, and even the dwarves, who had always been rough, had a much quieter voice.
"Why not?" Several people were entangled, but Hongyue was extremely surprised!
"What the hell are you hesitating about? Did you drink your brains badly?
You should understand that she, but, is, legend, strange!
A king may lose his crown, but can a legend lose her sword?
The king no longer has power when he walks out of his land, but the legend even goes around the city...... Go somewhere else, she's still a legend on top! No one is more noble than her!
So, what the hell are you, including all the idiots in this hall, questioning?! ”
Red Moon is simply out of anger!
There is no axe in the ring city where she lives, although the basic order is still maintained on the surface, but what is completely applicable in the darkness is the law of the jungle of "the jungle of the jungle, the survival of the fittest"! In the ring city, it is not enough to join any organization or have a perfect appearance, strength is everything!
This is something that every little kid knows!
But what is she seeing now? A group of mortals openly rejected a legendary ...... Hyenas actually laugh at lions?
What a ridiculous thing to do!
If Shen Yan was here, he would definitely complain and say, "This is a civilized society." ”
In fact, there are three or four Legends in the hall besides Erebes, and at first glance it seems that there are quite a few Legends. But if you push forward 20 years, you will find that the legend is these people, and if you push back 20 years, the legend is still these people, and the Erebeth siblings are the only two new legends in the Northland for decades.
Arthur and the others were stunned by the sudden outbreak of Red Moon, but Red Moon was too lazy to continue. "No matter what happens to you, I'll go!" With that, she walked towards the corner where Erebeth was.
"Wait, Red Moon ......" Arthur was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard "Boom! "A bang! Both ears lost hearing in an instant, the world in front of them shook, and all the glassware shattered!
At first, I thought it was the Blue Palace that had been struck by a lightning strike, but when the billowing smoke poured into the hall, a scream piercing the ear drum rang out.
Raid!
