Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 403 George III Performed His Apotheosis Ceremony

724
Because they came earlier, Melissa and Benson were able to choose a fairly good location. They could directly see a strange thing on the gray and white stone pillar in the center of the square. some kind of cable.

Below this thing, a group of soldiers in red jackets and white trousers were guarding. They were carrying gray metal backpacks, and holding rifles with complex structures and large calibers, watching all directions very vigilantly.

With the influx of citizens one after another, the square was crowded with people and became more and more lively.

At exactly nine o'clock, the strange thing on the stone pillar suddenly made a rustling sound, which finally turned into a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your emperor, ruler of Loen, East Balam, Rorsted Islands, Lemburg, Masik and Segal, protector of the people, George Augustus III. "

...that thing can talk?Is it based on the principle of telegraph?Melissa's eyes widened suddenly, and her attention instantly shifted from the content of the speech to the strange thing.

She thought of a speech made by a woman who belonged to a terrorist organization a few months ago. The voice spread throughout Backlund at the same time through some kind of device. It is said that many uneducated workers and poor people thought it was a kind of miracle.

It turns out that apart from those terrorist organizations, our country also has such technology... Infinite curiosity arose in Melissa's heart.

…………

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your emperor, ruler of Loen, East Balam, Rorsted Islands, Lemburg, Masik and Segal, protector of the people, George Augustus III. "

In the city square in the Hillston district, in the area designated for nobles on the west side, Audrey was standing near the high platform with her father, mother and elder brother, looking at the king in formal attire and listening to his speech.

Because I knew in advance which direction George III would focus on today and what kind of atmosphere it would create, Audrey did not wear her favorite clothes that were girlish in color or style. Instead, she wore the same skirt style as Countess Caitlin. Simple and conservative, the color is pure black, and he doesn't wear any jewelry.

"...I am very happy and very heavy to tell you that in the past six months, our soldiers who fought bravely in the Amanda Mountains defeated the Feysacs' attacks time and time again, prevented their aggression, and smashed the Their plans to destroy us..."

Standing on a high platform, wearing a formal dress, the solemn and solemn voice of George III became deeper and full of emotion.

He did not place a speech in front of him, and his eyes scanned the audience with sharp eyes. The officers and generals in the front row who were seen by him all lowered their heads involuntarily.

"Then, Fusac extended an olive branch to our long-time friends, Lemburg, Masik, Segar and other allies through the allies Feneporte, luring them to steal our military secrets with the intention of letting us The balance maintained by the Amanda Mountains has completely collapsed."

"However, one of our intelligence personnel discovered the conspiracy of the allies. He sent this information back to China at the cost of his life. Let us take the first step to deal with it, take over the land of the allies, prevent the leakage of secrets, and not waste this information. sacrifice of a hero."

"Under the deterrence of the country and justice, Lemburg, Masik and Segal realized the shame of their treachery, the king took the blame and abdicated, and I, George Augustus III, was crowned in Lemburg as the The new rulers of the nations."

There was a little restlessness among the people, but they were basically cheering. No one would not be happy for the expansion of their country's territory.

The boos of opposition from a very small number of people in these small countries are much weaker, easily overshadowed by the emotions of the people.

Lemburg and other countries have betrayed the covenant to this day, and people from these countries are still unwilling to believe the reality.But George III was happy to show generosity and freedom of speech, the country was already in his pocket, and these petty opponents did not matter at all.

"Today, I take this opportunity to address you as we have reached a critical moment of war and change."

The corners of George III's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes drifted to a blue-haired old man in a gorgeous robe and a triple crown in the building behind the high platform. That was the Pope of the Church of Thunder and Truth, the favored person of Thunder, Archangel Gad II.

The serious old man closed his eyes slightly, not showing off his anger.

He traveled thousands of miles from the church sanctuary "Thunder Church" on the sea to attend the king's speech.And his task was to crown George Augustus at the coronation ceremony during the second stage of the speech, representing the support of the church.

The Pope of the Evernight Church was a head lower than him, and did not receive the honor of crowning the emperor.

Zaratul hid in the dark, hid in the mausoleum and could not leave, and only used a secret puppet to attend His Majesty's speech.

Therefore, the "Magic Wishing Lamp" made of gold was placed on a table about ten meters away from Gad II, waiting to use miracles to fulfill wishes after the coronation ceremony.

——George III has some opinions on the "Dark Emperor"'s ascension ceremony, because the ceremony actually requires the consumption of potions in the mausoleum, not at the emperor's coronation ceremony.Obviously he wanted to become a god and a ruler, but it turned out to be such a sneaky way. The "Wishing Lamp" also showed disdain for such a ceremony, which made him feel extremely unhappy, but he had to do it.

"Just two months ago, the Feysac Empire suddenly attacked and invaded our country. Their airships and bombs suddenly rained down on the city of Backlund, and the Feysac army aggressively invaded our borders."

His voice spoke steadily.

At that time, the speech of the Witch Pannatia before she died spread throughout the streets of Backlund and many cities in Loen, causing an uproar.

However, under the actions of the Psychological Alchemist Association, these waves were quickly subsided.Many viewers and psychiatrists hidden in all walks of life were mobilized to deal with the memory of the people on the grounds of "reducing the influence of terrorists on the nation" in cooperation with the MI[-] of the church and the country.After a period of hard work, basically all the people have received certain psychological hints and treatments. The public only left a vague impression of the witch's speech. They remembered only a few words, but they couldn't connect the cause and effect with the big smog. .

Audrey, who knew about the smog, the bombing, and everything else, was not incited by the king's speech. She even wanted to roll her eyes or sneer impolitely, but thought that He must have a talent for drama.

But she heard small sobbing sounds from the crowd around her, and felt the sadness emerging bit by bit.

These sorrows and pains converge and brew, forming a huge tide.

This made Audrey inevitably feel a trace of sadness in her heart.

“I see them guarding their homes, their mothers and wives praying — yes, everyone prays sometimes, to wish their loved ones well, to return their providers, their fighters and their protectors.”

"I saw tens of thousands of villages in Ruen, where people rely on the land for clothing and food. Although life is very difficult, they still have the basic pleasures of human beings. Girls are laughing and children are playing."

"I saw the war machine rolling over to them, carrying out a brutal massacre."

The king's speech was false, but the grief of the people was real enough, especially Audrey had met many relatives of the dead in her foundation, and helped those poor people who lost their children, husbands and fathers overnight.

She has seen young soldiers who have been discharged from the army due to injuries. The eyes of young soldiers who are missing arms or legs are full of fear of the world and the future. If their families can take care of them, they will feel guilty for being a burden to their families for the rest of their lives.If these young people were born in poor families, or even hoped to use their own death in exchange for pensions to subsidize their families, not dying would only make them more disturbed and have nowhere to go.Audrey's foundation is not in charge of these people, she can only donate some money as best she can.

There were even fathers whose families couldn't support them anymore and wrote letters to the officers, begging the officers to let their children die in battle and get some pensions.

For a while, she even had some thoughts of avoiding going to the foundation, because there might be disabled people in military uniform lying on the side of the road.

The memory slowly emerged, and Audrey's eye sockets were slightly red, and she couldn't help but reach out and wipe the corners of her eyes.

This is the great emotional resonance, and this is the best occasion to take the "Manipulator" potion. This kind of emotional resonance can be provoked by one person. However, there may also be audiences guiding the emotions of the people... Suddenly, Audrey She had some insight, but she couldn't use it, because not only had she not digested the "Dreamwalker" potion, but she hadn't accumulated enough contributions from the Psychology Alchemist Association.

She took a slow breath, controlled the fluctuations in her emotions, looked away from King George III, and let her thoughts spread out unrestrictedly:

"Mr. World is very concerned about today's speech, and I don't know how to use this matter..."

"I hope it won't bring too many surprises..."

While Audrey was having a lot of thoughts, the solemn and staid King George III with two mustaches had finished the first description, solemnly saying:

"Let us observe a moment of silence for our heroes here and pray for victory, ladies and gentlemen, and say after me in our hearts:

"In the name of Emperor George III, may the dead souls be at peace, and may they become eternity in the country where they believe in gods."

These words carried an indescribable majesty, causing all the listeners, including Audrey, to lower their heads involuntarily, clasped their hands, and silently recited:
"In the name of Emperor George III..."

……

On the other side of the city square in Hillston District, Klein, who was wearing a black wool overcoat and had an ordinary face, prayed at the same time as the people around him, showing nothing unusual.

Then, Klein switched places with the secret puppet Enyuni hidden in the sewer, walked four steps backwards, entered above the gray mist, and used the "true vision" to observe the people on the square with the help of the crimson star representing Miss "Justice". Condition.

——He is already at Sequence 3, so he doesn't need to use the "Scepter of the Sea God" to expand his scope. Of course, compared to the "Ancient Scholar", the field of "True Vision" of the "Sea King" is obviously larger, but this time it is not necessary.

Klein had a clear goal, and looked directly at the high platform where George III was. His eyebrows furrowed in an instant, because there was no one there, or in other words, only false "phantoms"!
"Sure enough... this is his ritual of becoming a god."

Before Klein's speech started, he was on guard against this problem, and made a special observation to confirm that it was the real George III. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, without him noticing, the real George III The third became the figment of George III.

At the same time, he also remembered the requirements of the "Dark Emperor" pathway to becoming a god—

Drive the people to secretly build nine mausoleums similar to pyramids, and then enter one of them, and take the magic medicine of Sequence 0 in the corresponding sacrificial ceremonies scattered in different cities that most people participated in!
George III would definitely appear in the mausoleum at some point. Klein had expected it, but he never expected that it would be so fast.

In the process of mourning, did he "distort" with the ability of the "Dark Emperor" path, and silently replaced himself with a substitute?George III should have entered a secret mausoleum by now, taking potions, and trying to get promoted!As soon as Klein thought about it, he hurriedly examined the surrounding area, and found that there was an abnormal, extremely majestic deep black force secretly breeding in the ground below the podium.

Klein immediately picked up the "Dark Emperor" card on the surface of the long bronze table and sensed it, using the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Convergence to confirm that the power belongs to the "Dark Emperor" pathway and comes from "Distortion".

It's amazing, it's too late... Klein tensed up, and immediately returned to the real world. In the sewer, he recited in the language of giants:

"The symbol of iron and fire, the ruler of turmoil and strife;"

"The Great God of War!"

There is no doubt that this is the honorable name of the "Angel of War" Medici. Until now, this god-like three-stage honorable name can still accurately point to Medici and get a response, which fully proves Medici's strength and unique.

Medici's strategic thinking and ability to use are far stronger than his own, and Klein doesn't think he can formulate a more perfect strategy than him.So he had already informed the other party of all the information he had obtained, allowing Medici to act freely according to his own ideas.

After he finished chanting his honorable name, Klein suddenly felt that the connection between his mind was open again.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustle behind the Secret Puppet Enyuni who was standing on the square instead of him, and a man with an unremarkable appearance stepped forward and patted the Secret Puppet on the shoulder vigorously.The corner of the man's mouth was raised, and the brim of his hat was slightly pulled down to block the faintly glowing red eyes.

The secret puppet made a startled voice: "You..."

"Heh, the hunters can be reduced to pieces at any time. I have already let people sneak in. Last time I didn't prepare in advance, but was blocked outside and wasted the Lord's spell to come in. I will not make this mistake again. "

The man who was obviously Medici smiled at Secret Puppet:

"What are you going to do?"

The secret puppet quickly whispered: "George III is now hiding in a certain mausoleum and preparing to be promoted. I decided to go to the secret mausoleum in Ahova County to investigate."

"Medic" raised his eyelids to look at George III on the high platform of the square, narrowed his eyes, then looked at Klein, and looked him up and down:

"At first, I wanted the big snake to wish you good luck, but he didn't want to. I saw with my own eyes that I knew you were lucky enough."

His meaningful words made Klein nervous, but then, "Medic" smiled disapprovingly, and said casually:
"Don't be nervous, I'm not an idiot who can't tell friend from foe."

"I'm very happy that my comrades in arms are lucky enough, because this will make our battle easier to succeed. By the way, there is a person on my side who is willing to join this battle. If you think the battle is tight on which side, you can use the soul link to tell Me, he will pass."

Klein didn't expect that there would be anyone willing to join at this juncture, but he didn't know the purpose of the comer, so he didn't show joy:
"who is it?"

"Medic" laughed: "Don't you have a good relationship with Balam's son of the God of Death? It should be the help of that Eggers boy. The newly promoted god of the Rose School of Thought, Richard Ernst, He happens to be in Intis now, so I called him to come together."

……

"Frank's wheat seed three kopes a pound."

"Don't be like this, I have wholesaled them all, and I am still an old customer who often takes care of your pirate business. How about a discount of two kopes and one pound?"

"I think so too, but Frank said that the cultivation cost of this kind of wheat is very high, three kopes are the cost price, two kopes are not enough."

"Two and a half coppe?"

"...Do you have to lower the price? We don't have a lot of output, okay, I'll ask Mr. Frank."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

……

"Abominable? Wasn't the original abominable Siah? It seems that it has been replaced now..." Klein remembered this person, and the other party's proficient mummy making skills and bargaining skills were still fresh in his memory. "Before, he was still a Sequence Two , was actually promoted, it’s amazing.”

"Anything else?"

Klein nodded: "I hope you can control the damage as much as possible, and don't hurt innocent people."

"Medic" squinted his eyes, and smiled without any surprise: "It's what you kid can say. But the horror of war lies in the disasters it creates. Things happened in Backlund, to kill It's the king, you don't want the crowd to be hurt, how can it be possible?"

Klein was a little lost, but he still thanked Medici for his help. Then, he didn't dare to delay, and the secret puppet disappeared in place.

"Heh, it's still like this at Sequence 3... It's pretty good."

"Medic" shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Change the plan, the legion is on standby collectively, the vanguard is ready to act, use the backup plan to decapitate!"

……

In the town square, the false welcome George III also ended his speech:
"...Then, our ceremony will enter the second stage. I, George Augustus III, will change the Kingdom of Loen to the Empire of Loen, declare the authority of the empire, and be crowned as Loen, East Balam, and Lunburg The emperor of other countries and the Rorsted Islands!"

These words carried an indescribable majesty. Although the people didn't quite understand why the speech had such a development, they all lowered their heads in unison, and the words of praising the emperor appeared in everyone's minds. In their hearts, nothing but awe and approval nothing else.

"Sure enough, the king is going to become the Dark Emperor..." Audrey also lowered her head and pursed her lips.

A smile appeared on the corner of Phantom George III's mouth, and his body suddenly rose up, becoming like a shadow covering the sky.

In Ruins No. 1 on the outskirts of Backlund, the smile of George III, who had begun to accommodate uniqueness, became more and more obvious.

On the outside square, Pope Gad II stepped forward slowly, read the will of the gods, picked up the crown of the Balam Empire from the tray decorated with red velvet upholstery, and walked slowly towards the phantom George III who bowed his head and prayed.

In the mausoleum of the ruins, He wore a black crown and took the potion.

His body is changing in the direction of the shadow of order, expanding and extending in a wonderful state.

And those nine mausoleums are islands in the void ocean, and they are part of the whole rule, and the "Emperor George III" that the people chanted at the same time during the ceremony are countless, densely packed lighthouses, jointly anchoring the "Emperor George III" The ruler of Loen, Eastern Balam, and the Rorsted Islands kept him from being completely divorced from reality and becoming a part of the shadow of order.

As the ritual progressed steadily, feedback was flowing into his spirit, merging him with the oneness.His body seems to be constantly rising, overlooking the country and everything he owns from a height.The roads are connected into blood vessels, the people are blood and cells, he is surrounded and ascends!

If George III felt something, he raised his head and looked up. His eyes could already see the sky of the mysterious astral world. One star was getting dimmer and another star was gradually taking shape. It was a symbol belonging to him!
George III almost wanted to laugh. He reached out his hand in the mausoleum and grabbed the dim star in his hand.

"After a while, no more than 2 minutes, I will become an eternal god, the 'Dark Emperor' who rules reality..."

"It's all mine...I'll get the whole world!"

He gradually merged with the extraordinary characteristics and the spiritual imprint in uniqueness, and thoughts and hallucinations continued to diverge.

George III turned his head abruptly, and saw in the spiritual world, the two past dark emperors standing behind him, and the chestnut-haired and blue-eyed Russell Gustav overlooking him condescendingly. Casting endless shadows, the gaze of Emperor Solomon, who once dominated the entire Northern Continent, cast from the depths of history, inspecting the new emperor.

"Oh, seniors, you are all going to die, but I am still alive... In the future, I will be stronger than you, achieve more, and get everything!"

It doesn't feel good to be scrutinized, but He doesn't mind the scrutiny of the dead and dying.

At this moment, George III was more satisfied than ever before. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had lost contact with the phantom outside.

Someone attacked my phantom?
The emperor's majesty was provoked, and he was furious. He suddenly looked in Backlund's direction, trying to see the rebel's face clearly.

In his field of vision, nothing happened in the city square, only his phantom——

— stood up.

— No more praying, no more bowing your head to wait for the coronation of Gad II.

His phantom strode over, took the crown from Gad II's hand, and put it directly on his head!
Gad II's eyes widened, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sun was instantly covered by dense clouds.

"I'm really sorry, I wanted to bear it and let it pass, but the fact that an angel crowns a true god really makes me laugh."

His phantom sneered at Gad II.

Afterwards, he looked in the direction of Mausoleum No. 1, and sneered at the phantom in the mausoleum who had lost his identity.

Finally got the lamp god out.
