Chapter 146: Situation
Time passes slowly, since the white wolf made the Flying God Seat for the king of the Sanzan Kingdom, a year has passed, in the time of this year, the goblin population in the White Wolf territory has increased several times, and now it is close to 50,000, due to the magical effect of the Flying God Seat and the royal family's vigorous promotion of this sect, the Rune Sect has become the state religion of the three countries, even if ordinary goblins do not believe in this religion, they must have heard of his existence.
Just when the influence of the Rune Sect became stronger and stronger, some goblins loyal to the king finally sensed that something was wrong, and the mountain ant was one of them, and it was in the last few days that he finally figured out something, and this matter made him feel uneasy.
Due to the significant contribution of the Rune Sect to the king's goal of centralizing power, now Passerby A has been able to attend the court of the Goblin Kingdom from time to time as a courtier, which makes the mountain ant feel very awkward, and it took a lot of effort for him to successfully break away the passerby A, taking advantage of the opportunity that there are no people from the Rune Sect in the court today, to state his thoughts to the king.
"Your Majesty," the mountain ant began to speak, as was customary.
"How many times have you said it, don't call me Your Majesty, call me the Chosen One!" Unexpectedly, the Goblin King came up and interrupted the mountain ant's speech, asking him to correct his name.
When the mountain ant heard this, he began to snort and gasp, and his behavior was definitely not due to excessive exercise, but because of his increased heartbeat caused by being too angry.
If it were a minister in the human world who was good at protecting himself, he would probably change his words immediately, no, they probably wouldn't even make the mistake of the title at the beginning.
But goblins are goblins after all, and their violent nature makes it impossible for them to react in the same way as humans, and the mountain ants can't suppress their anger, and directly scolds the king in front of them.
"Who do you think you are? What worm Chooser? That's all the nonsense of those priests, and you really believe it?" the mountain ant scolded, pointing directly at the goblin king.
"What do you mean by that? I remember at first urging me to accept the principles of God, but why did you scold me now? The priests are talking nonsense? I see that you are talking nonsense from this guy with a worm status!" the king was also angry, kicked away the nezumi slave at his feet, jumped up from his throne, and cursed back.
The fact that the goblins are not polite does not mean that they can tolerate others offending them, and the words of the mountain ants are clearly beyond the limits of the king's patience.
"I also recently figured it out, Your Majesty, the rhetoric of the Rune Sect must not continue to spread, if we do this again, this country may not be our country, but belongs to the God of Runes, and those priests!"
The mountain ant did not notice that his insistence on calling the king His Majesty, and the performance of not admitting any mistake in the slightest, had been regarded as an offensive performance in the past, and the king was already angry, although because of the strength of the mountain ant, it was impossible for him to kill the mountain ant here, but this also meant that he could no longer listen to the words of the mountain ant, and only the calmest person had the ability to listen to others in a rage, and the goblin king obviously did not have such a quality.
"The Rune Sect endangers my rule? What do you mean by that?Since the Rune Sect spread, my power has increased, and there are more and more people obeying me, and even those Grand Dukes have to bow down to me and no longer have to look at their faces, do you know how pleasant it feels?" the Goblin King immediately retorted.
"I don't know how happy you are, I just know that, according to the priests, your power is given by the so-called god of runes, but what if one day, the god of runes does appear and announce that it will take away your power?" the mountain ant continued to state his thoughts.
"What if the God of Runes appears? What if I don't admit his identity then? You must know that in the hearts of the people, I am the God of the World, and if the God of Runes wants to be recognized, he must first pass me!" replied the Goblin King with a gimper, a little confident and a little angry.
"It's good that you're still sober, and you don't really believe in that strange god, and the reason why I'm angry just now is because you don't speak like a king at all, but more like a god. The mountain ant stroked his chest, revealing a relaxed look.
"I see, if you don't have anything else to do, go back first, I have to go on a parade tomorrow, and I'm going to rest early today." The king said that he was tired of the mountain ants and wanted to get rid of the creature.
"Then I'll go back, Your Majesty, you must see clearly who is your biggest enemy, the previous enemy was the group of Grand Dukes, and now it is this group of priests of the Rune Sect, if they have any bad ideas, they should be eliminated immediately. The mountain ant left these few paragraphs, took his leave, and left the court.
"My worst enemy? Of course I know who it is, and that's you. The king whispered and sneered at the back of the mountain ant, since the priests demonstrated to the king what etiquette is, it was becoming more and more difficult for him to endure the mountain ant's rude words and deeds towards him, it was so difficult to let the mountain ant change his name today, the king felt that his authority was underestimated by him.
After a year of factional struggle, the faction that supported the king and the clergy united against the hilltop archdukes, and thanks to the support of runic weapons, the solid fortress built by the archdukes over the years did not work at all, and the thunderstorm opened a big hole, and under the overwhelming threat of military strength, those archdukes either died or surrendered, except for a few who still insisted, most of the hill was swept away, and the power vacuum that appeared was filled by the clergy who had made great contributions, so that the new clerical class gained great power。
A large number of goblin priests were trained from the academy, and after receiving the brainwashing education of the white wolf, they went to their respective countries, where they used rune equipment and propagated rune sects, and they did not directly obey the king, but obeyed the orders of the local bishop, that is, for these priests, passers-by A, B and C were their "highest" superiors, and the king was not, and the white wolf was the only one above the passers-by.
