Blood of Mercury

Vol 2 Chapter 209: Divine right of kings

The sun is rising and a rose-scented morning is pouring over the capital of Banza.

Feige City, an ancient city with a thousand-year history, is now lively and solemn.

This is not because there is some huge sacrificial ceremony to be held here.

Rather, those who still insist on holding those ancient and outdated sacrificial ceremonies will be ridiculed loudly and cast contemptuous eyes.

Because just three days ago, their three times great His Majesty Saint Laurent had prayed the highest prayer in the holy city of Frankfurt.

Roland declared that in this generation, all living beings are equal.

Until the sea dries up, the sky cracks open, the oases turn into deserts, until the last twilight comes and the sun never rises, secular rights are always lower than divine ones.

Roland declared that the authority of all secular emperors in the old generation has been abolished, and everything in the new generation will start from scratch.

In this world, only Roland has the right to crown the emperor. And those emperors are just agents of Roland's authority.

In other words, Roland is the agent of the mentor, and the worldly ruler is the agent of Roland.

Of course, they only need to submit to Roland's expressed submission, if all people are equally observant of the many commandments of the Master, allowing Roland and his disciples to preach in their kingdom. If they do, Roland will give them the blessed land, give them their country back, and give them worldly rights.

But on the contrary, if they refused to stand with Roland, then their kingdom would suffer great sin.

Everyone believed that if that time came, Saint Laurent would let the plague and curse flow in their kingdom. Their mountains will crumble, their ridges will collapse, their rivers will flow backwards, and their fields will not be harvested.

The seven miracles performed by Roland convinced everyone.

You know, that is the three times great Saint Laurent - the agent of justice and truth, the king of the earth, the blessing of all things.

His great miracles are everywhere, how can mortals resist his will?

On the day of the miracle, the queen of Banza publicly declared that she would dedicate her country to Roland as a gift, hoping that he could introduce her to the holy religion; and the next day, the queen of Suze and the king of the mountain people of Farraro also followed one after another. Declared to accept Roland's rule and domination. And Caral, not to mention, the day before the third day of Roland's miracle, she showed her identity as Roland's disciple.

At that time, many people expressed incomprehension about her behavior. The Archduke Caral immediately declared Helga heinous, calling on the people to boycott this "kleptocrat who deceives everyone" in many fields, and even sent an army to encircle and suppress her.

But only two days have passed in total. On the second day of the third day of miracles, Roland's great miracle that covered the world in the early morning made everyone hear Roland's voice.

And after that, the big anomaly that appeared in the direction of the Holy City made people more aware of Roland's mighty power——

At that time, a huge human figure with a dim yellow color that reached the sky appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

The somewhat abstract figure looked a bit like an ascetic with a raised face. His long sandy hair was blown by an invisible hurricane, and it danced to the surrounding hunters.

Even at a distance of thousands of miles, people still feel the violent hurricane whizzing past the sky at the same time. The cold air flowed and patted his face.

Under that level of coercion, even the sky collapsed. Above the dim-yellow giant, layers of faint, fuzzy gray blocks appeared on the Wall of Orm.

The giant seemed to be facing the sky that was about to collapse, with his face held high and his hands folded in front of his chest, as if roaring at the sky.

After that, a splendid light like the creation of the world bloomed from the huge figure, piercing the sky, like a giant projecting a silver-white light quality gun, penetrating the dome fiercely!

That was the blow that ended the age of God.

It was the twilight under the gods, a blow to end the history of the gods!

At that time, Roland's prayer was also accompanied by the wind.

He shouted, shouted loudly.

The voice said--

"God's age is over! Your age has come!"

After that, the world changed overnight.

Not only did people not blame the submissive emperor, but the Archduke of Caral and Emperor Titan were blamed by the people and suffered enormous pressure.

They were simply astonished.

From ancient times to the present, no one has dared to point to their nose and scold them - all people fought against their emperor with their lives, and even took this as a sacred mission and a great sacrifice.

The Archduke was controlled by the people that day and handed over to Helga in a bundle. Two-thirds of the nobles of the Principality of Caral surrendered to Helga without hesitation, and Helga accepted them all.

Afterwards, Helga executed the Grand Duke and all his people by hanging in front of the people and nobles of Caral.

Since then, the short century-old heritage of the Duchy of Caral has come to an end.

Standing on top of the ruins of Kalar, was the Principality of Saya, which was still attached to Banza.

In Titan, people also ushered in a carnival.

The feeling of walking down the street and seeing everyone as close brothers and sisters fascinated them.

In the past, those commoners who dared not even look up at the knight came to the emperor's palace with their heads held high and cursed loudly for his stupidity and stubbornness.

And the palace guards no longer obeyed the orders of the great nobles and the emperor. With the exception of a very small number of dead men, the whole country betrayed him overnight.

In just three days, the old emperor, who was already old and sick all day long, had passed out five times with anger. His expression became worse every day, and people regarded this sign as Roland's punishment, and cheered more loudly every day.

Everyone who was exposed to the light and rain that day seemed to have turned on the button for re-evolution. In just three days, all the people who were originally stuck in the black iron rank and the bronze rank advanced to the bronze rank without exception, while the bronze rank One-third of the people have advanced to the silver level, and one-third of the silver-level people have advanced to the gold level.

Overnight, the sky changed.

All those who were exposed to light and rain, without exception, entrusted their faith to Roland. Only the very few dead soldiers who were not exposed to the light and rain retained some loyalty to the royal family.

But those poor numbers and stagnant strength were nothing in the face of the Titans who had made great progress.

The territory controlled by the great nobles and the dead men of the royal family shrank a little bit, and on the third day, their range of activities was even directly compressed in the emperor's bedroom. Even everyone, including the old emperor, has no hope of making a comeback.

——On the third day of the great miracle, the only place they controlled would be the last palace. Even everyone believed that this was just the last bit of face for the old emperor and the former ruler of this country.

These last seventeen people, plus an emperor who is about to age and die, are the last citizens of this thousand-year-old empire.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the old emperor to die. There were even whispered prayers with expectant faces, hoping that Roland would take away his soul.

Because they have been given equality. And it is equality under the supervision of God.

Although they don't know exactly what equality is and what it can bring them - but they do know that it means they have the right to live in the world as people, not animals.

According to the black-robed people wearing bird-beak masks who appeared in the city like a gust of wind, equality means that they have the right to reason with nobles and gentlemen, and that anyone who kills them must also pay legal responsibility. It means that even the lord cannot take away their labor income...

Like this, those black robes said a lot. Many people expressed surprise and extreme disapproval of this. They think that if this is the case, it means losing the traditions that have been passed down since ancient times, and without order in the society, everything will be in chaos.

However, the black-robed men blocked their mouths with just one sentence.

"Order? Tradition? Don't be kidding, all you need is the laws set by His Majesty Roland."

Immediately, they were speechless.

Think about it too. Now there are no more wars, people will not starve to death, and there will be no more reckless nobles and lords, and everyone's behavior is bound by Roland's laws - where is there no order? That is the creation of a new order.

Now, amid the cheers and praises of the people, the young Queen Ivana of Bansa has finished bathing and dressing. She is dressed in a simple and clean white dress, which is tightly covered with her queen's attire, and slowly walks from the outside to the original belonging to own temple.

In front of her, petals were scattered on the ground. The candles of the holy flame were lit in rows on both sides, and people cheered and praised.

Where is the surrender? Not even the Great Victory has such prestige—

Ivana sighed, but said nothing.

Except that these people no longer knelt down to her, everything was the same as before.

This surprised her deeply.

Roland would actually return her authority to her - which she couldn't understand for a while.

But later, when Roland talked to her alone, he easily explained her doubts.

He said meaningfully at that time: "Your previous belief was to let people return to the emperor before death, and to the gods after death. But I am different. I let everything in this world belong to you... and you, all belong to you. I have it all."

Thinking of this, Ivana couldn't help but admire Roland's festival.

This kind of tolerance is the real conqueror. He deserves to be called the king of the earth.

From now on, all the lands are his, and all he has to do is take them back and give them away.

If there is anyone in this world who can conquer her as a man, it is probably only Roland.

Therefore, she was not very resistant to giving everything she had to Roland.

And after she walked into Roland with the majesty of her former queen, she raised her face and looked up at Roland.

At this time, Roland was also looking down at her.

Her delicate and immature face like a child, and her stature half a head shorter than Roland did not hide her extravagance.

Inevitably, the golden whip that was bundled into countless small strands reminded Roland of Anvilia.

But of course, Ivana does not have the kind of long hair that has been brewed in a thousand years. Her hair is only shoulder-length. As usual, she would pull up her hair and let the rest out through the gap behind the crown.

But at this time, she was wearing nothing on her head, revealing a clean and noble forehead.

Roland stared at her silver-gray pupils that were flowing like mercury, and Ivana simply admired Roland's delicate and beautiful face, and the two stared at it for a while, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

In fact, Roland's temperament at this time was far more excited than he showed.

Because on the second day of the three days of miracles, all his tasks were judged to be completed——

【Exercise the Seven Great Miracles (7/7)】

[Personal mission Glory (2) has been completed, whether to accept the phased reward and start the next phase of the personal mission]

[Ending the Generation of Gods (1/1)]

[Personal task Plague Revival has been completed, whether to accept the reward or not]

But after Roland clicked the confirmation without hesitation, he did not get the glory (3), but got a brand new task.

【mission completed】

【You became the Pope of the Dormant Teacher】

【You have all the permissions of the Dream of the Sleepless】

【You got a new template】

【You got new information about your personal mission—】

[People ask to see miracles, but there are no miracles for them in this generation, except your miracles]

[Your mentor can protect you, but she can't protect the world]

【The world is already crumbling, there is no glory, no hope, no future】

【You will be honored and praised, but you cannot save the world】

[Roland, you still have one last chance to look back]

【If you are a fool who will do anything to save the world—】

【You got a new task】

[Personal Quest Glory (3): Completely Destroy the Ring of the South Wind (0/1), cannot be selected at the same time as Personal Quest Praise (1)]

[Praise for Personal Task (1): Reestablishing the Legacy of the Three Saints (1/3), cannot be selected at the same time as Personal Task Glory (3)]

... Then, how to choose is self-evident.

Roland took a deep breath, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He reached out and gently placed it on Ivana's forehead.

Ivana closed her eyes and slowly knelt down on one knee.

"Ivana, would you like to follow me?"

"I would like to dedicate my body, spirit and soul to you."

"Ivana, are you willing to believe in the Three Saints?"

"I will believe in the three saints forever and ever."

"Ivana, will you honor my covenant with you?"

"I will carefully observe all the commandments that you and the Trinity have commanded."

"Ivana, I want you to swear here—"

Roland's voice became more serious, with echoes and rumbling thunder resounding in the air.

With it, Ivana's crisp voice also followed Roland: "I swear that I will keep the way of the three saints all my life, I swear that I have dedicated everything to Saint Laurent, and I swear that I will keep the three times great Roland. Everything you gave me."

"I swear to keep the peace of all things, I swear that I stand against any greed and injustice, I swear that I will notarize with justice and compassion, I swear that I will defend the right of my people to live, I swear that I will uphold my The dignity and creed of my people are like safeguarding my own life, and I swear that I will never give up the possibility of saving any of my people in any danger."

"I swear I will live as a believer and die as a believer. This is today, every day, until I die."

"Very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Roland slowly opened his eyes, and the holy fire burned in his eyes. The holy flame flashed in his hand, and the white clothes on Ivana burned out instantly, revealing the luxurious imperial robe below:" Then I will crown you. "

Having said that, Roland lifted Banza's golden crown high, and slowly buckled it on Ivana's head, who was kneeling on the ground.

After a brief silence, the cheers of the people nearly toppled the roof.

"Praise Roland! Praise the Queen!"

"Praise Roland! Praise the Queen!"

"Praise Roland! Praise the Queen!"

Without warning, Ivana flashed such a concept in her mind——

The generation of mortals has finally come. (To be continued.)
