It is divided into sub-enclosure and building into an establishment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, in a real feudal state, the ruling power is shared by many nobles who establish rules and regulations independently, and as long as they fulfill their obligations, even the feudal monarch cannot take away the territory and title of the vassal without authorization, so such things as the vassal must bow to the king and obey his words and plans will not happen at all.

However, there are always exceptions to everything, and some great monarchs have gradually accumulated incomparable prestige through countless correct decisions and victories made during their extremely long reigns, and the most important foundation of their rule has changed from the ancient system and law to an irresistible personality charm, and even formed a concept of 'the king is the state' in the hearts of the people.

In this case, no matter how vassals pay attention to the ethereal things such as systems and theories, they will become meaningless. Justin is an example of such an emperor.

Therefore, hearing that he admitted that he was old, Joseph, who was still calm just now, suddenly fell to the ground with a dejected face as if he had been pulled out of his heart, and said incoherently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those hypocrites of the Elven Kingdom are still wreaking havoc on the frontier, and the horse thieves of the blueprint and the pyrotechnics of Fatun have not been conquered, you, you..."

"Joseph, Joseph, Joseph," looking at the incoherent vassals at his feet, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Odin and interjected, "Don't cry yet, I'm just old, not dead yet, Sith is not yet torn apart, and it's not too late for your tears to flow later."

Go, go back to your fiefdom, and bring me the envoy from the other side of the swamp, so that I can see them for myself, and see for myself whether these fellows are genuinely friends with good intentions and want to trade, or potential enemies with good words and ill intentions. ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty—" Joseph hurriedly suppressed his tears, stood up, and strode away from the court of Sith.

Looking at his fading back, King Odin slowly became gloomy in his eyes, and murmured, "Little Joseph has also grown up, and he even knows how to take the opportunity to test my reality." ”

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Joseph may not have any dissenting intentions, it's just that your presence makes him feel too wronged," before the words fell, an old voice hung from behind the throne, embroidered with the symbol of the royal family of Just, and a huge tapestry of a fire-breathing red dragon with wings spread, "The descendants of the dragon coat of arms, the ancestors are close friends who fought side by side..."

"But I've expanded his family's fiefdom by more than five times, and the treasures rewarded for each battle are incalculable," King Odin interrupted the old man's voice with a blank expression, "Why doesn't he want to think about this, huh?" ”

"A slave who owns a fief of a thousand miles is still a minion," the voice replied in a flat voice, "Only the lord of the land within a radius of a thousand steps is still a lord."

Your Majesty, how can you be satisfied with you from the bottom of your heart when your wisdom and wisdom have unwittingly turned all the nobles of Sith into slaves? ”

Hearing this, King Odin finally showed uncontrollable anger on his face, and his fists clenched as if he was about to roar and roar, but then there was a heart-rending cough.

"Then what am I going to do, wise Odon, what am I going to do?" The poor physical condition tamed this great emperor who had never met an opponent in the world, and after coughing, he wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes showed a kind of pathos at the end of a hero, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, your incomparable prestige and achievements are both a precious legacy and a heavy burden," the old voice said without hesitation, "If your heir has the same sharpness as you, but does not have the corresponding wisdom, means, and talents, then the Sith Empire will soon be crushed by this burden."

But if the new emperor is a gentle and generous man, then with your inheritance, the royal family of Justids will be able to rule Sisgil for at least a few hundred years without declining. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Odin had already roared, "Can a man of gentle and generous character suppress the elves' ambition to reclaim the Forest of Van Sali;

Can I fulfill my unfulfilled wish to conquer the Blueprint and the kingdom of Fatun?

Can the royal family still maintain its supremacy within the empire, such a king is equal to nothing, I must not let my life's hard work be in vain!

Odong, is there no other way, as long as I am given another 30, not 20 years, I will definitely be able to defeat all the foreign enemies of Sisz.

Then, with the power of an unprecedented great conqueror, we will eliminate the sinister rats within the Sisz, and establish a new and powerful empire based on the system of counties directly under the royal family! ”

"I know that deep down in your heart, you have always pinned your hopes on the life extension technique," hearing this, the old voice sighed and said, "But your body has already performed the life extension technique 3 times, and there is no chance of success again."

So Your Majesty, I have to tell you with great regret that you will not have another 20 years to live.

Judging from your current body, if you don't work hard and cultivate well, you can last for 3 to 5 years, otherwise it will be dangerous for two years. ”

Hearing this, Ou Ding hung his head deeply like a deflated ball, was silent for a long time, and asked softly: "Is there really no hope, Odong, is there really none?" ”

"Unless a miracle happens, and you can break through to the rank of Heraldic Knight before you die, and get purified of life, there is no other way." The old voice replied in a low voice.

When the words landed, King Odin sounded softly, "The breakthrough of extraordinary force is only related to the talent of Sisz, I failed to become a heraldic knight when I was young and vigorous, and now I am old enough to die, how can I break through...", and then the entire royal court fell into a deathly silence.

Here, the great King of Odin is finally dying in despair;

The good show arranged by Zhang Longchu over there has just begun.

Three days later, the original dragon envoy entered the Sith Palace to meet King Odin and offered countless treasures as gifts;

After presenting the letter of state, he sincerely expressed his good wishes to establish a country based on religion, although he was not afraid of foreign invasion, but never took the initiative to invade the territory of other countries, and pursued peaceful and good-neighborly relations, and wanted to form a close friendship with Sith Ling and trade for mutual benefit, and said that if King Oudin was willing to let the faith of the great lord spread in the Sith Ling country, then the Holy See would pay an annual tribute of one million taels of golden sand as a tribute.

Religion was not uncommon in the Sithjon kingdom, and as a secular emperor, Odin cared more about the physical submission of his subjects than the spiritual approval.

As long as you honestly become a soldier, work, and do business... If you are willing to be a part of the normal operation of the empire and do not oppose his rule, then it does not matter whether you believe in the native sect of Sisj, or the gods and powers of those conquered countries and forces.

However, in the face of a religion with a strong state as its foundation, Udin was very cautious, and after accepting the gifts and trade conditions of the Churyu clan, he flatly rejected the spread of the belief of the great owner.

As for his attitude, in addition to being disappointed, the Chulong Mission showed complete respect and did not have the slightest hint of hostility, so it went very smoothly, and Chulong and Sith Ling established the first trade route across the swamp.

Soon, sophisticated weapons, exquisite silks, delicious spices, and high-end specialties from the Dragon Chu Kingdom set off a fashion whirlwind in Sisyu;

In the same way, unemployed painters, musicians, and craftsmen from the Sisgil Empire were also sought after by the general public in Chulong.

In this way, the two countries communicated with each other, and the business was doing well, and the scale naturally became larger and larger, and after a few years, each other's commercial offices had been opened all over the territory, and embassies were set up in major cities to deal with large trade disputes.

During this period, King Odin's body became weaker and weaker, and even though he had been deeply cultivated in the royal court, death still came quietly and was about to take his life.

Three years ago, a well-known old merchant in Sith Ling came into contact with the teachings of the great lord because he went to trade in the Chulong Kingdom, and was deeply touched by the fact that he decided to divide the billions of family wealth among his children and stay in Chulong to become a priest.

His reckless decision naturally caused all kinds of criticism among the big merchants of Sith Ling at that time, and almost became a laughing stock, but what he didn't expect was that now this wealthy merchant really became the sacrifice of the Chulong clan through his efforts, and obtained the power of casting spells through some magical religious ritual, and became a middle-aged man like a child.

In response to the hints from his henchmen, King Odin reciprocated by sending the spy leader directly to death row and torture him, and finally determined that he did not say these words out of loyalty, but was instructed by a prince who felt that he had no hope of inheriting the throne, and cut off his head and fed the corpse to the dogs.

But after that, the dying king secretly announced the envoy of the First Dragon Holy See in Sisyu Kyoto into the royal court, during which I don't know what kind of fornication, compromise and confrontation went through, and five days later, an incomparably grand ceremony was held in the Sisyu royal court.

Great Odin. His Majesty the Emperor Justin openly declared that he had converted to the faith of the great lord and made it the state religion;

The Emperor of the First Dragon Holy See personally appeared to preside over the ceremony for King Odin in a magical step, obtained the power of heraldic casting, and purified his life again, and declared that Odin was the mortal king promised by the great lord, and should rule all the worldly lands except for the First Dragon where the Holy See is located.

In this way, one of the two supreme beings regained his health and vitality, as well as the majesty of the divine power of the king;

The other obtained the right to preach freely in the vast empire, which on the face of it seemed to constitute a gratifying win-win situation for each to take what he wanted. (To be continued.) )
