Chapter 70: The Fire of God
In King Hoblens' palace, the attendants told King Hobright that Tea Dust and Owo had been arranged and rested in the side hall.
The king and the pope sat in the small hall, and he casually asked, "Owo, it must be what you said before...... The black dragon, right? ”
The Pope nodded: "Yes, Aprile has seen her true form, which is a giant dragon a hundred meters long. ”
"According to the information that Aprile received from the 'Journey to the Underworld', the main reason for moving the 'Divine Fire' this time is her strength."
The king let out a sigh of relief: "I never imagined that so many incredible things would happen during my reign in Hobruns. ”
"Settler, do you say that the true god that the Xerxes believe in is real, or is it just a virtual object of worship like the god of fire?"
Before the Pope could speak, the king said, "At least their gods would really give them that terrible power, and our god of fire had been proven to be a false lie sixty years ago." ”
The Pope was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, although the Vulcan God is fake, we do master the power of flames, and the existence of the Vulcan Holy See is still of positive significance to Hobruns. ”
"Giving up the 'Divine Fire' this time will have a great impact on Hobrandis and the Vulcan Holy See, maybe we can still use some words to cover up the truth to the people, but within the Holy See, it is impossible for everyone to continue to deceive themselves."
"As for the Xerxes, I don't know exactly what their power is, but their god is probably just a statue held high."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Xerxes to bow down to the 'journey to the underworld,' knowing that if God really exists, it is impossible for His people to accept any threat."
The king smiled: "When you say that, I think of something else. ”
"If our god of fire and the true god of the Xerxes are both false, then what kind of existence is the 'Lord' they worship in the 'Journey to the Underworld'?"
"In my opinion, the people of the 'Journey to the Underworld' have a much more devout faith in their 'Lord' than we do, and according to April, their 'Lord' has given oracles to all the members of the 'Journey to the Underworld', is that the 'Lord' the real God?"
The Pope replied: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to discuss this, whether the 'Lord' is a true God or a false God, He represents the interests of the 'Journey to the Underworld', and for us, the interests of Hobrands are the most important. ”
"With the successful signing of this peace treaty, we Hobrandis will have a great opportunity, as long as we are steady, neither the Xerxes, nor the barbarians nor the Gaians can threaten us."
The king sighed and said, "You are right, if the railway network can be successfully built, we will be able to join together all Hobruns to form an unbreakable whole. ”
"But as a price, Hobright will usher in historic changes, and the ruling power of the Vulcan Holy See and even the royal family will decline to varying degrees."
He said meaningfully: "Setel, you should know what it means to have more convenient and faster transportation, right?" ”
The Pope nodded and said, "Greater circulation, more collision of knowledge and wisdom, and more freedom." ”
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to put forward such a condition for the 'trip to the underworld', the railroad network is indeed a great thing for Hobruns, but for you......" the Pope did not continue.
The King smiled, "From the moment the 'Journey to the Dead' appeared, I knew that it was impossible for Hoblens to survive as he used to. ”
"Whether active or passive, Hoblens will usher in change, which is an unstoppable historical trend."
"I'm glad that you and most of the people in the Holy See are supporting me, and I know that you have a very strong conflict with the First and Second Cardinals over this."
"But I still have to say, we have to change, and we're going to do everything we can to embrace it."
'Did you find it?' The people of Hades' have been far ahead of us, and even the whole world. But they still maintain a sense of tightness. ”
"I also have a feeling that the world is going to change very dramatically and incrediblely, and we need to speed up, otherwise it is likely to ...... There is no chance that the whole of Hoble will survive. ”
Hearing the king's words, the pope was completely silent, he never thought that the king would think so long-term.
The establishment of embassies, the mass dispatch of workers, the study of "science", the opening of immigrants, and now the establishment of a railway network are all aimed at learning more from the "journey to the underworld".
"The Vulcan Holy See has existed for hundreds of years, and it's time for a change......" the Pope said lightly and walked out alone.
……
The next day, when the Giant Rhino and the Iron Bull walked into the Flames' sights, they became the focus of hundreds of thousands of people.
These two steel behemoths, with every step, the earth will tremble, and it will also bring countless people to scream.
In order to allow the two steel behemoths to enter the city, the city of Flame even demolished a gate and cleared the city's main thoroughfare.
The two steel behemoths took heavy steps like this, stepping on the Vulcan Mountain step by step.
"Tea! It's been a long time since I've seen you, wahaha, you've gained weight! Freya, who was driving the Iron Bull, saw Cha Mo and Owo and happily stepped forward to greet them.
Because the "15th District" has long produced vegetables and fruits, as well as meat and pigs and other foods, the relationship between Ovo and Freya is also extraordinary.
She was even willing to take out her treasured milk bricks and share them with Freya: "Freya, this is something we finally got back from 'Torch' City, you can try it!" ”
The driver of the "Giant Rhino" is Selena, and she takes a group of workers and several space engineering vehicles to secure the trailer that is going to be used to tow the "Divine Fire".
"Cha Min, Owo, we're ready here, when are we going to start?" She always puts her work first.
Cha Mo stuffed her with a piece of milk brick: "Don't worry, don't worry, the Vulcan Sect said that we should try to reduce the impact as much as possible, and plan to let us start construction in the second half of the night." ”
Selena shrugged: "They don't think they can hide such a big thing from anyone, do they?" Tens of thousands of tons of red stones, hehe, wait until tomorrow, everyone in the 'Flame' City will definitely know. ”
As she spoke, she took a bite of the milk brick, and her pupils exploded: "Wow! How is it so delicious! Where did you get this from? ”
