Chapter 414: Yus's Surrender
Back in the ancient city of Aogu, Alan first presided over the opening ceremony of the new batch of students of the Academy of Magic, and then returned to his alchemy laboratory, and unexpectedly met Kevin at the door. Kevin was directing the carriage to deliver supplies to the lab's warehouse.
"These are the skins of Warcraft?"
"I searched most of the continent to buy it, and strictly followed your requirements. ”
"Good!"
Uncovering the thick tarpaulin covering the carriage and looking at the various animal skins piled up in the carriage, Alan was overjoyed.
For the rest of the year, Eren locked himself in the magic laboratory most of the time except for going to the Academy of Magic, during which only Elvis and Miranda went a few times, and Miranda also took a bunch of things from there, and no one knew what he was doing in it.
In the blink of an eye, the time was late summer and early autumn, and the first fallen leaves were floating in front of the window of the magic laboratory, and when Alan picked up the fallen leaves with his fingers and sighed like a passing year, Reinhardt, the official of Yuss in the ancient city of Austria, suddenly visited and brought a shocking news.
The origin of the news can be traced back to half a month ago, when a major event occurred in Yus's court. After a great court meeting, when Emperor Black got up to leave the throne, his eyes suddenly went dark and he fell headlong on top of the court. All the officials of the previous dynasty were stunned by the scene in front of them, the emperor is only twenty-one years old this year, how could he suddenly have an emergency at the height of his youth?
"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"
The panicked officials hurriedly asked people to invite the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor came, checked it, and couldn't see any illness or even wake up the emperor.
"Change, change one, no, no, change one. ”
The imperial doctor changed batch after batch but could not diagnose any problems, and the emperor's face was always shrouded in a layer of black gas, and he looked like he was dying at any time. This can make the courtiers worried, the new emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, the situation in the empire has just stabilized from the turmoil, and some careerists who are ready to take advantage of the chaos have just calmed down their restless hearts, if something happens to the new emperor at this time, God knows what will become of the Yusi Empire.
"Please come along, Master Freeman. ”
Of all the people, only the prime minister remained calm. Since this matter concerns the fate of the entire Yus Empire, let's see what the astrologer with the ability to predict the future has to say.
"Freeman, Prime Minister. ”
Freeman arrived soon.
"You go back and deduce from the astrological signs you have recently observed, and see the fortunes of the Empire and the trend of His Majesty's illness. It will be read out in public at the court meeting tomorrow. ”
The prime minister instructed that Freeman already knew about the emperor's situation, so he didn't need to ask more, and turned back to the astrological palace and his subordinates to study the recent astrological signs.
"Watching the sky at night, the northern sky is still dominated by double stars, but one of the stars is slightly dimmed by bad luck, but don't worry, a golden light is coming from the south, I believe that it will soon drive away the bad luck, so that the northern sky will reappear the scene of double stars. ”
The next day's court meeting was presided over by the prime minister, and Freeman wore a robe that was only used during the worship of heaven, and his white hair was meticulously combed, quite a bit of a god's stick. At this moment, he was reading out his horoscope results with a solemn expression and a loud voice.
"What two stars dominate and one star dims?"
"What kind of golden light came from the south, and there was no bad luck?"
"What does this have to do with His Majesty's illness?"
When Freeman finished reading, the ministers below exchanged ears, and some even directly asked questions. Freeman didn't answer, just smiled, and then strode out of the hall with his head up.
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed!
Freeman's arrogant behavior displeased many ministers, and the prime minister could only stand up and explain for him.
"Bullshit. ”
The ministers were guilty of scolding, but something shocked them that afternoon. A visitor suddenly came to the Imperial Foreign Ministry, claiming to be Cardinal Raphael of the Holy See, who had come to meet His Majesty the Emperor Yuss on the orders of the Pope to discuss important matters.
The cardinal of the Holy See came uninvited, the matter was by no means simple, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not dare to delay and immediately brought Raphael into the palace, but what the emperor did not see was the prime minister, and of course other officials accompanied him.
In the course of Raphael's conversation with the prime minister, he once again asked to see the emperor in person, and the prime minister, who could not refuse, could only tell the truth that His Majesty the emperor was sick.
"Healing priests are the best at it, let me see. ”
As soon as he heard that the emperor was sick and could not see anyone, Raphael laughed. The prime minister, who was helpless, was overjoyed when he heard this, and despite the dissuasion of other officials, he immediately arranged for Raphael to treat the emperor's illness.
As a result, Raphael went in for half an hour, recited a few incantations, and sprinkled a piece of golden light on the little emperor's body, and the black qi on the little emperor's face receded. What was even more amazing was that after a quarter of an hour, the little emperor opened his eyes and sat up from the bed himself.
"I felt as if I had fallen into an endless abyss, surrounded by a pitch-black void, and I struggled, but my body was wrapped in a layer of black gas, and I couldn't move at all. ”
The little emperor sat on the throne and described his feelings when he was sick to the visiting ministers:
"Just as I was in despair, suddenly a golden light flew in front of me from a distance, and a majestic figure with a thousand rays of light appeared out. And said to me, "Yus has been in darkness for a long time, and I hope that you will bring my light to them and deliver them from the abyss of sin and darkness." After speaking, the golden figure pointed with his hand, and the black qi that haunted me dissipated, and then I woke up, as if I had a dream, but the scene in the dream was vivid. ”
After the little emperor's feelings were finished, a group of ministers led by the prime minister were amazed:
"It turns out that Freeman wasn't talking nonsense before, isn't what he described exactly the scene in the little emperor's dream?"
"It was not me who saved Your Majesty but the God of Light, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Raphael was also at the scene, and he inquired in detail about the appearance and characteristics of the little emperor's golden figure, and then asserted.
"Yus has been in darkness for a long time, and I hope you will bring my light to them and deliver them from the abyss of sin and darkness. What does that mean?"
The little emperor was shocked and remembered the words of the golden figure in his dream.
That is God's will. The God of Light is summoning His Majesty and the people, and the Yuss Empire should return to the throne of the gods, and the people of Yuss should also bathe in the divine grace. ”
Raphael stood up, walked to the window and looked at the sun in the west, and exclaimed with open arms, as if the sun represented the god of light.
"That's right!"
The little emperor's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he followed Raphael to the window, and then knelt down to the setting sun with a puff:
"Great God of Light, your people Blake Yuss are willing to accept your will and lead the people of Yus to your seat and bask in your glory. ”
The Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and a number of other officials also stood up and knelt down behind the little emperor to swear allegiance to the God of Light.
"Yus has returned to the Holy See like this?"
The other ministers were dumbfounded, but they could not refuse at all, and they could only follow behind and mechanically recite the oath.
The news of Emperor Yus's voluntary conversion to the God of Light spread quickly, although many noble officials were suspicious and even wanted to oppose it. But with the prophecy of the astrologer Freeman and the appearance of the little emperor later, the cause and effect of all this is simply indisputable. Unless there is a possibility:
"All this is a conspiracy, and several parties, including the emperor, have already colluded. ”
People who think of this immediately break out in a cold sweat, if this is the case, they can't jump out against it, unless they don't want to live.
The conversion of Yus to the Holy See became a fact, and even the time for the little emperor to be baptized was set. Things went so smoothly that the Prime Minister was so pleased that he feasted his family and friends on the estate.
"Tell me the truth, is it true that you said that the twin stars dominate the northern sky?"
During the feast, the prime minister came to Freemandy's side and asked in a low voice. Although the whole thing was a conspiracy, the prime minister always felt that Freeman's attitude was very serious and did not seem to be a fake.
"It's true that the subordinates don't dare to deceive the adults. ”
"Oh?"
The prime minister was surprised for a moment, then lowered his voice further and asked:
"So who do you think these twin stars refer to?"
"This..."
Freeman hesitated, glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one else, before replying:
"I think it should be the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Really!"
The Prime Minister's gaze lit up.
"Don't dare to say anything!"
"You can't tell outsiders about this. ”
The Prime Minister's tone became serious.
"Guaranteed to be tight-lipped as a bottle. ”
"Okay!haha!"
The prime minister laughed and left, looking high-spirited. Looking at his back, Freeman's eyes flickered. Although the prime minister is now in power, under one person, after all, he is already in his fifties, how many more years can he be in power? But the two stars he observed are obviously rising stars, and the future shines unlimitedly.
"It was expected that the Holy See would wait at least another year or two before it officially entered Eus, but now it seems that Tees Hepburn's patience is limited, and we are left less and less time to prepare. ”
After sending Reinhardt away, Alan immediately called a meeting of the core staff of the ancient city, at which he informed him of the news of Yus's conversion to the Holy See.
"With our current strength, we only have a chance if there is civil strife in Yous, and now that the civil strife in Yous has not started and the Holy See has not started, there is no chance of victory. ”
Kevin said worriedly.
"Yous's civil strife has not yet started, but the matter of surrendering to the Holy See must be a great blow to Yuss's army, especially the invincible Northern Army, can General Bernard go to Valenpass to lobby and win over the Northern Army?"
Steven suggested.
"This is a way to try. ”
Alan went to Capra the next day, and he first held a meeting for everyone, learned about the training, and then informed Yuss of the latest news.
"Now that Yuss has clearly submitted to the Holy See, can the general secretly go to Valen Pass to lobby the old department, so that the Northern Legion and us can unite against the Holy See?"
After the meeting, Allen asked Leaving General Bernard alone.
"The Archmage doesn't know. The Northern Legion has always been loyal only to the Yuss family, and although I have been the commander of the Northern Legion for a long time, it is impossible for them to join me in opposing the second prince who is the Yuss family, although it is true that the second prince has hurt the morale of the Yuss legion by doing so. Unless..."
Bernard shook his head, thinking that Alan's proposal was completely unfeasible, but in a second thought he thought of another possibility.
"Unless what?"
Alan asked.
"Unless we can find the Great Prince and get his support. ”
Bernard replied.
"Teacher, where are you and the eldest prince hiding?"
Alan walked to the door of the tent and looked out at the southern sky, the autumn wind blowing his robe.
