Chapter 616 The Queen's Decision and the Knight's Hesitation

Valentine's reconstruction has begun to take shape. As the future palace, the Emperor's Castle stands on the coast where the Valentine's Cathedral was originally located.

This 300-meter-high stepped polygonal tower shone with sacred golden light and was divided into three floors.

The lowest layer is carved with innumerable human figures, both men and women, with different occupations.Some of them waved their swords and shouted, some held up the tome and staff, and looked at all directions of Valentine, representing thousands of mortals who followed the emperor to overthrow the loyal court and rebuild order.

The second floor is engraved with 21 standing portraits with a height of 21 meters. These portraits are male and female, all wearing crowns, without specific faces.People speculate that these kings represent important heroes from the League of Loyalty to the Alliance of Order, and then to the Dawn Empire.Others believe that this is the future 21 regions of the empire, including all countries and viceroyalties.Some people think that 21 actually represents the age of the god emperor. At the moment she was crowned emperor, she was one with man and god, and her life as a mortal was frozen at the age of [-].

The third level is two... technically one statue.Two thrones fused into one, and two statues sitting back to back.Like the portraits on the second floor, neither of these two people has a carved face, but it can be seen from the body that they are all women.One looks like a statue of Kaim, leaning on a sword and looking to the northeast, where there is an endless ocean of ice across the Benuin Desert.One is wearing a crown, leaning on a shield, looking to the southwest, which is the vast Fein continent.

It was rumored that when the designer of the Emperor's Castle took out the drawings, Teresia rejected the shape of the highest layer on the spot, but the designer produced unmistakable evidence that it was an oracle from Kaim.

Teresia was silent for a while, and asked to remove the face of the statue. The designer still wanted to insist, but she said coldly, "This is also an oracle from Kaim!"

Therefore, before the construction of the Emperor's Castle was completed, it already had the nicknames of "Oracle Castle" and "Faceless Castle".

The most magnificent building in the fourth era of Finn is still a long time away from completion. It is said that the Emperor's Castle has learned from the experience of the fall of Valentine's Cathedral. It not only uses a lot of magic metal to build the frame, but also arranges special The space magic circle cuts the space where the Emperor's Citadel is located into subplanes.In other words, the Emperor's Castle that everyone sees is not its true face.

Even standing in the Shield Castle, which is still far away from the Emperor's Castle, the legendary magician and the Empire's Minister of Magic, Meddy, can still clearly see the whole picture of the tower.In his magical vision, the Emperor's Citadel is much larger than it looks on the outside, as high as a kilometer, reaching the sky.The sitting statues of man and god facing each other on the third floor are indeed faceless, but the statues on the second floor are lifelike.

Some people are already dead, the old king of Hadron Tragdi-Hadran, the loyal bishop of the Hadran branch Ruen, the guardian of the temple of Tanguskem Linda, the Princess of Alanis Freya... …

Some people are still alive, including the Duchess, Hathaway, the president of the Mage Union, Numan El, the governor of Benuin, the king of the Sea Spirit of the Storm Ocean, Catherine, the prince of the Redstone Kingdom, and Li, who has no titles and is just the Pope of the Scarlet Church. Chi Pryor...

Meddy was very thankful that the queen could take care of her wishes and not engrave herself on it.This is a certain arrangement of Kaim's will. Even if he feels that he is detached from the mortal world or even the era, the will of the gods contains the power of the world's laws after all, and it is always good to be less contaminated.

Now, Teresia and Cam are almost together in a literal sense, where is her will going?

There was a wave of sacred power in the study room of the castle, and the magic field of vision flickered brightly. Meddy was relieved, and the queen's spirit body returned from the Kingdom of God.

"Teacher, don't worry, my body can still hold on." Teresia's attitude towards her mentor became more and more calm. This is because she has been promoted to the Kingdom of God more and more frequently recently, and her spirit body and Kaim's avatar merged together. coming changes.

"There should be time to solve the problems left by me as a mortal," she sighed: "But this time it was indeed an unexpected situation. No one thought that Lady Scarlet's camp would change, and the entire order of God would be shaken because of it. The battle is imminent, I had to go up and personally sort out all the news received by the Kingdom of God."

Meddy asked, "What's your majesty's decision?"

"I told Li Qi a long time ago that there is a problem with Lady Scarlet's path." Teresia shook her head: "Even if it is judged by the will of the world, he will not turn back."

"Now it's clear that the new God, Ms. Scarlet Red, has mistaken her priesthood at all. Everyone is for me, and I am for everyone. What kind of love is there? In fact, it is not about ordinary people, but about the fusion of power. Ms. Scarlet has collected many primordial priesthoods, thinking that she can guide the path of mortals and create a new justice and order. She did not expect that what she created was a new path of power."

"It's no wonder that Li Qi has made such a breakthrough in magic technology, because his god is the god of fusion. Pain, death, destruction, nature, elements, fate, plus Styx, and now it has merged with the power of space, scarlet The lady seems to be learning from the goddess of magic, and wants to emulate the magic net and create a new power that combines divine power, magic power, and even spiritual power."

Meddy naturally understands what this means: "Power is the law of nature, and there is no distinction between good and evil. Mortals can use it to pursue happiness or create evil. The path of Lady Scarlet is the same as that of the goddess of nature and magic. Ah, if it is used to weave the order of mortals and condense the justice of mortals, it will inevitably produce deviations."

"Yes", Teresia's voice was mixed with an inhuman vibration, which seemed to be a judgment made by her will to fully integrate with Kaim: "Ms. Red is either taking the so-called Datongism as a As a torch of faith, guide mortals to use such beliefs to help her integrate power. Either her apotheosis was an accident, and she knew nothing about Finn's world laws and the common sense of gods, so she used the road of power fusion to mortal order and In justice."

Meddy said: "If what His Majesty found out when he contacted Lady Scarlet in Heaven Mountain is correct, and she does have the priesthood of dispute, then the former is more likely. Dispute means dividing the truth into several falsehoods."

Teresia nodded in agreement: "Indeed, at present, Ms. Scarlet is the biggest variable in the change of era."

Meddy asked: "The Duke of Prell... Uh, has His Majesty made a decision on what to do with him?"

Theresia's eyes shone with a golden light: "From the perspective of the gods, my past handling should be guided by Kaim, and there is no problem. The changes made by Lady Scarlet in the laws of nature are neutral, and Kaim can only Watch cautiously, unless there is definite evidence that this change will bring about huge damage or even threaten the survival of the world. But her guidance to mortal beliefs is wrong, and it is unacceptable to Kaim. I must restrict her in the main position If necessary, take action to correct the impact."

"Of course the more important issue now is the rise of the evil god. The god of cruelty and the god of tyranny are about to decide who is superior, and then come to compete with me for the order of mortals. Of course, I will not be directly hostile to the red lady at this time. Strictly speaking She is already the same as the goddess of magic and the goddess of nature, and I have to do the same as before, and use her power as much as possible while being vigilant."

Speaking of this, she frowned slightly: "This is only from the perspective of a god. As a mortal, I can't pull Li Qi away from her. I am not reconciled. Because Li Qi, my sister, and my good friend, have all been She controls the soul, which makes me very... unwilling."

Speaking of this, she fell into deep thought, and it took a while to wake up: "Oh, mentor, I will make arrangements for this. You should focus more on absorbing and controlling the magician's power."

After Meddy left, Teresia sat back at her desk and waved her hand to light up the angel statue on the desk: "Look for Brintol."

A moment later, the image of the Minister of Internal Affairs Brintto appeared, and the old man bowed deeply: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

The queen asked: "How is Valentine's space channel repaired?"

"The guard was completely destroyed, but Baudouin and I know a lot about the channel, and now everything has been repaired except for the core part," Brinto said, "But to repair the core, we have to re-match the subspace beacon, This can only be done by the high-ranking clergyman of the Goddess of Commerce, or... Ms. Scarlet has also obtained the priesthood of space, and the new god called the Lord of Infinity, his clerics should also be able to solve it."

"I won't look for Li Qi, I have to hide this matter from him." The queen said, "You can talk to the Temple of Commerce and tell them, if you don't help me get this matter done as soon as possible, at the level of gods, I will Resist the Goddess of Commerce's trade blockade against Lady Scarlet, and make some god-to-god deals with her. At the mortal level, I will consider restricting the circulation of gold bulls within the empire."

Brinto bowed his head deeply: "With His Majesty's will, I can do it just by running errands."

After Brintto resigned, the queen summoned another old man with a similar temperament with an angel statue.This man was older than Brintol.

The queen asked: "Baudouin, is the Hand of Order ready?"

Baudouin nodded: "A total of 700 people in the Hand of Order have been formed, all of them are devout believers who have firm beliefs and have heard His Majesty's oracle, and they are all above level four, including two hundred heroes and six At the same time, as His Majesty requested, all actions will be concealed under the work of reorganizing the Northern Army, and no outsiders will know."

He said in a high-spirited tone: "The hand of order is impatiently waiting for His Majesty to indicate the target. Where Your Majesty points, is our battlefield!"

"Very good", the empress placed her left hand on the desk, knocking unconsciously on the table.It wasn't the material of flesh and blood that caused the desk to make a muffled sound.

After a while, she said indifferently: "Give me the list of all squadron leaders and above in the Hand of Order. I will directly lead them. I will give you a secret decree to establish a unified Kaim Church in the three northern countries. You will be the Cardinal. Reorganize the original Kem Church."

Baudouin was stunned. The Queen's attitude towards the church has always been very clear. All the churches in the empire, whether it is the church of Kem, Huma or Sif, were ordered to disband, and they could not establish a union beyond the country in the future. organize.

Before, the empress had asked him to secretly form an armed order like the Hand of Order in the Three Kingdoms of the North, just to use this unknown power to directly attack Youxiang through Valentine's space channel.Now the empress went a step further and asked him to rebuild the church, which obviously violated the principles set by the empress.

"The battle of the gods is imminent, and the change of era will be more violent. I need to make some preparations." The queen said: "Don't worry, this is still a secret, it is an underground church. You can't attract the attention of the three countries and my ministers. I know this task is a bit unthinkable, but I believe you can take it on, relying on your devout faith in Kaim."

Baudouin sensed the obvious fluctuation of divinity. He knelt down on his knees in fear, and kowtowed: "As a humble servant of His Majesty, it is a great honor to obey His Majesty's oracle!"

The light curtain dissipated, and Teresia shook her head and smiled wryly: "In the past, I probably thought I was crazy, but now, for the sake of the fundamental and correct order, I have to do something against the principle, I hope not Use that power."

She put her non-flesh hand on the crystal ball on the other side of the desk. There was only one small crystal ball, which was directly connected to every joint communication tower, and even connected to several secret communication towers.

She closed her eyes, and the information from every communication tower gathered into a torrent and poured into her heart. The golden light dust scattered around her body showed that the powerful divine power was supporting her soul, making some inhuman changes.

At this moment, she was no longer worried that another life in her belly would involve her soul, and the magic device in her fake hand could control the flow of information to a certain extent.Although the ability to process information is far less powerful than that of real gods, it is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"The Mad King's army has entered the eastern part of the Silverpine Kingdom, confronting the main force of Romulus... Very good, the time is almost ripe."

"There is something wrong with Sylvie's progress, orc? A well-disciplined orc who uses magical weapons? The master of the art of war? It turned out to be favored by this person. This weak god is indeed not a follower of the God of War, and he has ideas about the new order." ?"

"It seems that we need to give Sylvie more support, at least let her direction come into the sight of Romulus and the Mad King."

"Li Qi... Sure enough, he can always come up with something new, using that small and crude magic flying machine to deliver weapons to Romulus."

"Ms. Scarlet Red will soon face the attacks of various gods. Although I really hope that he can retreat and give me a chance to settle mortal affairs. But in order to deal with Romulus and the Mad King in one go, he still has to hold on. Support, at least get the floating fleet on my side to take shape."

"Let's find some excuses to send some supplies..."

"By the way, Numan El has made some progress, let him send some people to Li Qi."

The queen whispered in her heart, with the influx of information, the fog that shrouded the mortal world dissipated little by little.

To the east of Valentine, across the narrow land bridge, is a vast sandbar.In terms of size, this sandbar is one-third the size of East Fern, but in terms of population and products, it is less than a small principality.

Legend has it that at the beginning of the first era, this sandbar was still a lush land comparable to the entire East Fein, called the Benuin Semi-Continent.Then the magic empire collapsed, not only blowing up most of the land into the demiplane, but also turning the rest into a barren desert.

From the Dark Ages to the First Era, the Benuin lived semi-landly with a very low level of civilization.After the magical cataclysm, those who survived became the Benuin sand people.They fought against magically deformed creatures in the vast sand sea, turned them into food and living materials, and developed strange beliefs and cultures.It is said that this was the end of the first era and the beginning of the second era when their mother goddess Varuna came to the world and led them on the road to survival.

There are still many oases in this great desert. The trading bases established by the merchants of East Fern along the coast have gradually developed into towns. The stronghold named "Deep Water Port" is the most prosperous, and it is now a large city with a population of 8.

Deepwater Port was originally a vassal of the Kingdom of Valentine and enjoyed autonomy.After Teresia established the Aurora Empire, it naturally changed its banner and became the capital of the Governor-General of Benuin under the empire.

Because the new governor is a powerful, pious, and noble Huma believer, and at the same time a Benuin, the city not only continues to enjoy full autonomy, but also makes the trade between the surrounding Benuin tribes and the city easier. positive.Although the new governor took office not long ago, his fame has already spread throughout the desert.

When the new governor recruited a batch of slaves from Deepwater Port and the surrounding tribes, and the price was fair, his request was quickly satisfied.

"Seven thousand slaves, all of them are young men, women and children." In Deepwater Port, in the Imperial Governor's Palace, Numan Ayer put down the documents and let out a long breath.

This was the first task assigned by the Queen since she took office as governor. Although it was small, he still went all out and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Fortunately, the result was very good.

"Your Majesty still cares about the Duke of Pryor." The legendary knight had a faint smile on his lips. These slaves will be transported by sea to the Kingdom of Hadron, and then handed over to Li Qi Pryor.The biggest shortage on the Shenyun Plateau is population. This group of slaves is strong enough and will be a good labor force.

He has also been paying attention to the wars that took place in Kester and the Silver Pine Kingdom, and is puzzled that the Queen is indifferent to such evil forces as the Mad King. Now it seems that the Queen must have her own difficulties.

Thinking about it carefully, I probably feel that the Queen has become one with God and should be in charge of more things, so I have unrealistic expectations.

Valentine still needs to be rebuilt, and the Legion has to be reorganized. The country in the north is devastated by the orc disaster, and the Kingdom of Brad is still in shambles.What's more troublesome is that the establishment of the empire made the middle-class nobles who were most loyal to the queen think that the queen had betrayed them and caused chaos everywhere in the empire.

Under such circumstances, the Queen can only intervene in the affairs of the Kingdom of Kester through her most trusted Li Qi Prell.

"This season, the sea ship should go smoothly, and it will take about half a month to reach Hadrang."

This was done when Númen-Air issued the passage for navigation.He got up and left the desk, and habitually came to the window, overlooking the barracks not far below the castle. In the square of the barracks, legion officers and soldiers were training.

The legions brought here were not elite, and the number was not large. Although they were fully equipped with magical weapons, the legend who was both a knight and a Benuin still believed that guns and guns were just foreign objects, and the real power came from himself. The training of the Legion is relentless.

I was watching with my arms folded, when a clear voice suddenly sounded behind me: "That's right, very good, I'm not talking about the legion, but you."

Sensing the familiar power fluctuations, Numan Aier's soul swayed and his body stiffened.

He turned around with difficulty, and when the green hair came into his eyes, he didn't dare to look at it any more. He knelt down on his knees, and even prostrated himself on the ground: "My lord..."

Even if Huma, the god of knights, is not necessarily stronger than Numanel, even if it is a clone, the connection between the god and the devout believers cannot be shaken by the level of strength.

Huma's oracle resounded in the soul of the legendary knight: "Numael, I am moved by your piety. I choose you as the last batch of patrons to follow me to welcome the new era."

Numen Ael was so excited that his body and mind trembled, but the words of the gods still made him feel a little confused: "The first batch..."

"You need to complete a task. This is an opportunity for you and a test for you."

Huma clone said: "I know where Teresia sealed the Benuin gods, go and undo the seal and destroy Teresia's hand."

Numen Ael was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, staring at Huma's clone with incredulous eyes.

Huma's avatar was not unexpected, and the shock sent to Numanel's heart remained unchanged: "Are you questioning my intentions?"

"No, dare not!"

Numen-Air used the greatest strength in his life to say the following words: "Why..."

"I'll give you a little time to think about why you ask me, your god why." Huma's clone said, "Think about who you are loyal to, Teresia, Cam, or I."

The turmoil of divine power disappeared, Huma's clone had long since disappeared, and Numan El was still prostrate on the ground, maintaining a posture of raising his head and questioning.

　Happy New Year's Day, today is also a change.
