Chapter 148: The Duke
Although Empress Sophia II in the picture announced her conversion in a very high-profile manner, it did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the nobles and ministers present, but also burst into not very warm applause.
After all, the people who can enter and leave the Ormir Palace are not ordinary nobles, they have learned more or less about the results of the God War from various channels, and understand that the "God of War" church has existed in name only, and it is impossible to rely on it anymore.
In this case, conversion is inevitable.
And the goddess of the night, as the biggest enemy of the empire all along, turned into his follower, and everyone is not very acceptable to it emotionally and rationally, and it is not the best choice;
As for Mother Earth, her betrayal in the war of the gods also made the nobles and officials of Fusak dare not be gullible.
If there is no other choice, it is fine, but now that there is a "God of Truth", a great being who has been publicly recognized by the other six gods as the new gods, it is naturally the best object to "hug the thighs".
Therefore, in their opinion, it is normal for Her Majesty to be so urgent to transfer the letter in a high-profile manner.
After all, these nobles and officials can wait for a while to see which direction the wind goes, but Her Majesty, who is shrouded in the shadow of defeat in the war, must make a decision quickly, otherwise she is likely to be pushed out to take responsibility for the defeat, and it will be a good ending to abdicate calmly at that time.
"In addition, they probably want the Empress to test your qualities as the "God of Truth", to see if you really have the ability to protect her, and then decide whether to surrender." Klein looked at the emotional colors of the nobles and ministers in the picture, and easily judged what they thought.
He paused, and then said with a smile, "But what they don't know is that the Empress Sophia II has long been your man, and you will definitely keep her throne, right?"
"Of course, it is more troublesome to support a new emperor, everything needs to make way for the situation to stabilize now, otherwise it will create opportunities for the outer gods." Abner is rightfully authentic.
"Sure enough, you and the goddess should have the same idea, both of which are to stabilize the situation as soon as possible....
"Until the goddess truly controls the authority of the 'god of death' and the 'god of war' and becomes the old days", there is no doubt that there is no hope that there will be another god falling, so that the gap of the invisible barrier left in the beginning will be unfilled, and the outer gods will find an opportunity to let the end come early..... Also, judging from Rune's current situation, if the war continues, the anchor will be shaken even more, and it may lead to the awakening of the 'primordial' in the goddess's body.....
Speaking of this, Klein seemed to remember something, and asked instead,
"By the way, is your kingdom also going to ascend to the astral plane to fill the hole in the 'barrier'?"
Abner shook his head and said, "Not yet, I still have a lot of things to deal with..... Once the Kingdom of God enters the astral realm, it will be difficult for me to come to reality in my true body again."
Whether it is the "Original Witch" or the "Abyss", it is possible to solve it only by his true body.
"That's ....." Crane nodded thoughtfully, changing the subject, "The losses of the Church of the Goddess and the Church of the Storm in the war seem to be not small, no wonder after the rebels announced that they would keep the corresponding churches and respect the Storm Faith, those irascible guys did not try to fight back, and acquiesced to the formation of the new government, and even didn't care about the formation of the Church of the Fool and the Church of the Seagod.....
Hearing this, Abner smiled and said, "It's true that the goddess can't control that side, but the Lord of the Storm must have another purpose." "Another purpose?" Klein wondered.
"Sooner or later, Adam and the 'True Creator' will have to re-spell the 'Ancient Sun God', and when the time comes, they will inevitably have to trouble the Lord of the Storm, who is showing favor to you, the future 'Lord of Mysteries', in advance." Abner only briefly mentioned it, after all, it was still early for Klein now.
I actually have a day when people hug their thighs and take a group photo? Klein laughed at himself in his heart, and wanted to say something more, but at this time, the "video" released by Asmo changed the scene again, and moved to the small meeting room of Sophia II and several important ministers of Fusak.
"Your Majesty, the Church of the Night Goddess, the Church of the Storm, the Church of Mother Earth God, and the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom
That's all for Rune..... Everything else is acceptable, but the 'Indo Port' and nearby towns are ceded..... We can't decide this, so we're adjourning for the time being." Wimbledon Einhorn, the new Prime Minister of the Vorsack Empire, handed the Empress a stack of papers.
After picking up the document and looking at it a few times, Sofia II said in a deep voice: "This condition is written in the first article of the war reparations..... I'm afraid they won't stop if they don't."
The new Foreign Secretary, Countess Ksenia, received the empress's slap and nodded, "It's true that I don't accept it..... But maybe we can change the way we cede and find a solution that is acceptable to them and to us."
"How do I do that?" Wimbledon asked, frowning.
Ksenia and the Empress glanced at each other covertly, and after a deliberate moment of silence, she said, "It is rumored that Rune's former 'Viscount Beldan' and the current Duke of Ximahai County' Abner Blaine is the spokesperson of the 'God of Truth' in the world, so we might as well canonize Indo Port to him and give him another title of 'Duke Indo'.
"In this way, it is an acceptable plan for us to not only befriend the 'God of Truth' church, but also get rid of the negative effects of land separation."
"Canonize the nobility.... That's true, but can Rune and the churches say yes?" Wimbledon also thought it was a good idea, but it was somewhat wishful thinking.
At this time, Empress Sophia II stood up and said in an unquestioning tone, "Just use this plan! I guess Rune will agree, and they don't want to be enemies of our lord!
"In addition, the location of the Church of the God of Truth in China should also be put on the agenda, and the specifications should be in accordance with the Church of the God of War."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several nobles and ministers present saluted at the same time, although they did not know the details of the God of Truth, but seeing that His Majesty was full of confidence, they were willing to stand up and endorse this matter, so they did not stop it, and passed the bill collectively.
Anyway, if something happens, His Majesty is carrying around.
At this time, the Minister of the Interior opened another topic: "Your Majesty, since the disappearance of the Patriarch and several archbishops of the Church of the God of War, Archbishop Forger of Sunia has invited back to St. Milon to preside over the work of the Church....
"What attitude shall we have towards this Acting Patriarch now?"
"Fortier....." Sofia II lowered her head and thought for a moment, as if she was communicating with someone, and after about a minute, she raised her head and said, "Everything is the same as before, no suppression, no intervention."
The Home Secretary seemed a little surprised, but bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
This is the end of this video of Fersak, Asmo adjusts the "signal" again, and as another "projection screen" lights up, the picture of the White Maple Palace in Antis is displayed in front of Klein and Abner.
