For the citizens of the Sibia Empire, this month is the most celebrated day in recent years.

For more than a year, the fate of the empire fluctuated between unpredictable changes. For the ordinary people, there was almost no good thing and only pain was brought to them.

First there was the torture during the war between gods and demons, then the torture during the rebellion, and finally the shock of the war against rebellion...

But now, it's all over, just this summer.

If citizens in other parts of the empire have a profound memory of this year, then the residents of the Holy City have an unforgettable impression of this year. Because they are in the heart of the empire, their lives can be said to be the most beautiful in this year.

The weather was precarious. And because of the war, many people were unemployed, and many even had their homes turned into rubble.

Until now, everyone is asking the same question: After the new emperor ascends the throne, will everything get better?

In fact, the new emperor did a pretty good job. Before he came to the throne, the traumatized Holy City was changing, and people's lives were slowly changing, bit by bit.

The army left the city and police patrols began to appear on the streets day and night, which was a sign of stability.

First of all, those families who relied on the rebels to make a fortune were unlucky, their people were taken away, and their property was divided up by the people in the street?

For these residents, the most important thing now is to have something to share. As for the fate of these former neighbors, who will really care about it? Wouldn't it be better to keep the leisure and think about what to eat today?

Secondly, a large-scale construction project began in the Holy Capital. The dilapidated city walls and destroyed streets were repaired in a very short period of time. The unemployed residents also had an opportunity to make money to support their families.

Markets all over the city are slowly returning to their former bustle, and businessmen from all over the world are gathering here again. They bring red wine and grain from other countries in exchange for various specialties from Sbia.

With the entry of the royal family, there are also some people from other races in the Holy Capital. Orcs, winged men, dwarves, and elves who did not live in human cities before frequently appeared in the Holy Capital. Some people even swore that they saw vampires.

... Some of them were wearing military uniforms, some were wearing court uniforms, and they all looked very distinguished.

The residents were surprised for a while, and it was not until later that they figured out that the next leaders of these races were all close friends of the emperor. For this reason, the emperor specifically allowed their races to enjoy the same treatment as humans, and they could be officials, join the army, and

Doing business... This reason is still acceptable to the people. The emperor is the emperor after all, and he can do whatever he likes.

As long as we talk about the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, their Majesty Cohen Keda... Because he has done too many things that make people laugh, the residents will first show a smile. Apart from smiling, they don't seem to know what to show.

What kind of emotion? I heard that His Majesty the Emperor beat his officer a few days ago...

Fortunately, the emperor did not forget an important thing. The date of the enthronement ceremony has been set. For this special day, September 1st, and for this special new emperor, the entire Holy Capital City was decorated with lanterns and lanterns!

Governors from various places who were invited to watch the ceremony came, nobles who had fled abroad also returned one after another, and even foreign envoys who were rarely seen in ordinary times also gathered in the Holy Capital.

It is said that the gifts they gave to congratulate the emperor on his enthronement were brought in a motorcade. Although I don’t understand why other empires came so far to curry favor with His Majesty Cohen, this is a rare honor.

In the end, the most important figures - the two envoys from the temple visited the Sbia Empire in person.

As we all know, His Majesty the Emperor detained nearly a thousand priests from the Holy City Temple on various charges a few days ago. His Majesty the Emperor even wrote a personal letter asking someone from the Temple to deal with the aftermath, but the Temple delayed sending someone to deal with it until now. This person was sent

The timing makes people suspicious.

After the carriages of the two special envoys entered the city, the people started all kinds of discussions...

But now, there are less than two days before the enthronement ceremony on September 1st. At such a critical moment, if the special envoys of the temple are causing trouble in the Holy City, how should His Majesty the Emperor deal with it? Any -

If the matter has something to do with the Gods, it is considered a top priority, and besides, the matter itself is not a small one.

Under countless attention, the carriage of the temple envoy stopped in front of the palace gate, and a high-ranking priest who accompanied the envoy arrived and followed the notified chamberlain into the palace.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor." Soon after, the voice of the chamberlain echoed in the emperor's room: "The special envoy from the temple is visiting."

At this time, there was not only His Majesty the Emperor himself in the room, but also several princes and internal affairs supervisors who were discussing matters. After hearing the words of the chamberlain, everyone raised their heads.

"Are you coming now?" His Majesty Cohen glanced at Prince Weisu: "Then let them come in! Just say that I am still busy and let the dean of the academy receive them."

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the special envoys of the temple asked to open the main entrance of the palace. They said that they were envoys of the gods and they must be treated according to their status..."

"Who are they? If you don't come in and pull them down, I'll make a hole for them!" His Majesty Cohen was overwhelmed by a lot of complicated government affairs. Hearing this, he was furious and slammed the table on the spot: "What the hell is that?

Who? Who has the guts to bargain with me!"

Seeing that Cohen was angry, Princess Wensley beside her stretched out her hand and gently held her husband's hand to calm him down. The three princes were not surprised by the emperor's behavior at all.

"Your Majesty, there is a priest who wants to explain to you in detail." The chamberlain was also used to the emperor's temper and knew that the emperor was not angry with him. He stood calmly and replied: "He is downstairs, waiting for your Majesty's announcement.

Call."

Princess Feilin opposite her put down what she was holding and looked at her husband with a smile: "Let's meet him! It's good to listen to what he has to say."

Cohen straightened up, exhaled a breath of bad breath from his chest, and his tone softened: "Pass."

Unexpectedly, the status of the priest who entered the palace was quite high. Just from the look of his clothes, it was known that he should be a cardinal priest of the temple's cardinal court.

Cohen cursed secretly in his mind, then stood up and forced a smile on his face.

"Good day, Your Excellency, Knight of God's Blessing." The cardinal priest stood still after taking a step through the door, and saluted with his hands on his chest in a not humble and arrogant manner: "Good day, my lords."

Obviously, there is something wrong with his title. Although Cohen has not yet ascended the throne, everyone is already calling him His Majesty the Emperor. Even the cardinal priest who came last time is doing the same... There is naturally a reason for this priest to be called like this.

, or he is laying the foundation for the following conversation, or he is maintaining his own advantage.

"Good day, Cardinal Priest." Prince Weisu walked over with a smile: "It's rare to see him on weekdays. Did you have a hard time on the road?"

"Lord Weisu, you're welcome. I have my duty, and it's my duty to work hard." The cardinal priest nodded, his eyes still fixed on Cohen: "Please allow me to explain to the Divine Blessing Knight the candidate for this special envoy...

"

Cohen, who had a fierce look on his face, shook his finger and slowly approached him. How could the cardinal priest continue to speak?

Finally, Cohen walked up to the cardinal and pointed at Weisu: "Do you know who this person is? Who is he to me?"

"I know, Master Weisu is the father of the Divine Blessing Knight." The cardinal priest replied seriously, not knowing what he said wrong at all, and asked instead: "Am I rude in any way?"

"He is my father. If you are answering him, please look at him." Cohen snorted dissatisfied: "Not looking at him means disrespecting him; disrespecting him,

It means disrespecting me; and a person who disrespects me, no matter where he comes from, I will throw him out of the window - do you understand?"

"I understand, please accept my apology." The cardinal priest had no way to deal with this rogue emperor, and was not prepared to dwell on these minor issues: "I didn't mean to do it, please forgive me."

"You don't have to mind, because no one knows what the children will care about next moment." Vitai knew that Cohen would not care about etiquette, and the purpose of saying this was just to defeat the priest and gain some momentum for himself, but he was

As a prince, he could not be too rude. He smiled slightly and said, "Please come in, Cardinal Priest! We can sit down and talk."

Because of the previous encounter, the cardinal priest sat down after greeting everyone in the room one by one. Although his face remained normal, his concentration was no longer so focused.

"Tell me! Who are these two special envoys?" Cohen sat opposite the priest and asked directly: "Why do you want me to open the middle door of the palace to greet them?"

"As for the selection of the special envoy, that is a matter decided by the Gods. We, the Cardinal Court, just follow it." The cardinal priest didn't talk nonsense. He reached out and took out a secret document from his arms: "This is a letter from the Gods to you. Please bless me."

The knight takes a look."

Cohen took the letter suspiciously, opened it and only glanced at it a few times before his eyes became extremely cold, and he squeezed out a few harsh words: "Are these two candidates determined by the Gods?"

"Of course." The Cardinal Priest replied cautiously: "We don't have the right to decide on such an important matter yet."

Holding the letter in his right hand, he violently struck out with the palm of his left hand: "Bang!" With a sound, a short table next to Cohen had been smashed into pieces by him.

The people next to him didn't know what was going on and were all shocked. Because Cohen's eyes had become gloomy, no one else dared to speak, and the atmosphere in the large room was extremely depressing.

The cardinal priest had already been frightened by Cohen's gaze and lost the ability to think. He could still maintain his sitting position. His will was already quite firm.

Weisu stood up, fought off a group of guards who rushed to the door, took the letter from Cohen and read it.

After reading the letter, Prince Weisu was silent for a moment before handing the letter to Feilin beside him, and then said softly to the cardinal priest: "This happened suddenly, please wait outside the door, priest, and we will respond immediately."

"Okay... okay." The cardinal priest also wished he could escape someone's sharp gaze as soon as possible. He immediately stood up and walked out of the door.

The letter was passed between several people, and no one knew what to say.

"I told you last time that the Gods would retaliate for your tempting behavior." Prince Weisu put his hands behind his back and said to Cohen slowly: "How is it? Did my words come true?"

"Yes, my words came true." Cohen smiled coldly: "They just want to make me feel uncomfortable."

"Isn't this a good thing! - It's better to suffer personally than to suffer disaster for the entire empire." Weisu laughed: "Things happened because of you, so you must be mentally prepared to take the responsibility."

"I was prepared." Cohen shook his head and said in a dull tone: "I thought about many possibilities, but I didn't expect that it would be these two people. This kind of revenge really hit my weakness...

Frankly speaking, my current skills are not as good as theirs."

Wei Tong took a step forward and looked at his son with calm eyes: "Have you calmed down?"

Cohen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I've calmed down."

"Are you convinced?" Wei Su asked again.

"I'm convinced." Cohen opened his eyes: "But I won't admit defeat... There's a long way to go, let's wait and see."

"It's good that you have this spirit. I'm waiting to see you turn this round. This is not your fault alone. We feel equally uncomfortable." Wei Su nodded happily: "You are born with the instinct to despise everything.

This is what we don’t have, and it’s what I personally have been looking forward to. After the late emperor left, I thought about it a lot, and finally found that we lack nothing but a guy like you.”

"As you wish, I was summoned to come to you." Cohen replied with a smile: "You have nothing missing now."

Seeing that the father and son were talking very differently, Princess Feilin on the side shook the letter in her hand and asked: "You two, what should we do now?"

"Is that necessary?" Cohen and Weisu looked over at the same time and said in unison: "Open the middle door."

Soon after, amid a burst of royal ceremonial trumpets, the huge central door of the palace slowly opened, and brand-new imperial flags fluttered on both sides of the royal walk. Under the flags, the honor guards with neat military looks stood upright.

A welcoming lineup of this size has never appeared before, so that the officers and officials handling matters in the front palace stopped what they were doing and paid attention to this special motorcade. While others were speculating,

, another loud trombone sound sounded, and then it turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor, Cohen Keda, who was about to ascend the throne.

He was wearing royal casual clothes embroidered with light blue and silver, and a ceremonial sword that was neither too long nor too short was hung on his waist. With a smile on his face, he walked towards the palace gate step by step as if relaxing, and finally stood at the palace gate.

Standing directly below, his figure stood out particularly against the soldiers in black clothes and armor behind him.
