"Belongs to God?" Under the emotional infection of Lord Perigo, even the face of the earth wolf showed a solemn expression, not to mention Link, Weir and Earl Weir who grew up bathing in the light of the Lord God.
After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm down the emotional fluctuations in his heart and asked Lord Perigueux: "According to what you just said, His Majesty Gray I did not pass the throne to the prince of Sri Lanka, but passed it to Norton III.
, is it because the power of the Sakala Empire belongs to God?! Is it possible that the Lord God is still... still..."
Count Vere was a little unable to speak for a while. After all, this question was a bit ridiculous. But if Lord Periguet gave an affirmative answer, Count Vere felt that he might not be able to bear that kind of spiritual pain.
Shocked.
From Lord Perigo's words just now, they can understand that the Sakala Empire should be one of the countries that were selected by the servants of the gods to build the spiral palace, and all the power of the Sakala Empire.
They should all belong to the Lord God in name.
But what makes Link and the others unable to figure out is that even the head of the Avarina family, Lord Perigo, who is considered the first-class noble family in the Sakara Empire, has to wait until the deathbed instructions of Grai I.
, only then did I know that if such a force exists, then what does this rotating temple in the temple system rely on to control the entire Sakala Empire, and even made His Majesty Grai I have to change himself at the last moment?
Will, obey the orders of the temple.
You must know that the kings of the major empires on the continent now no longer have the same reverence for the Lord God as their ancestors who had just founded the country. When the major empires were founded, the Lord God re-established the order of the continent.
The time was not that long ago, and the power and deeds of the Lord God were still clearly engraved in the memories of the founding ancestors of the major empires. This also made the Lord God almost supreme on the continent during that period of time.
The authority also created the status of the temple as the spokesperson of the main god among the major empires.
However, as early as when the bishops of the temple relied on the reputation of the main god and began to want to intervene in the secular political power, the conflict of interests between the royal families of the major empires and the temple became increasingly apparent. Today, in the current continent,
Today, most ordinary people in the world have become indifferent to the belief in the main god. At least in Count Weir's impression, although these temples in the major empires still exist as symbols, most of them have succumbed.
Under secular power, he became an ordinary member of the upper-class nobles of various empires.
Even if it is true that there is a distinction between the Ming Palace and the Rotating Palace in the temple system as Lord Perigue just said, but in any case, in the current environment, the Rotating Palace in this temple must control the highest level of the empire.
It is impossible to use the title of Lord God and then rely on the so-called Lord God's servants who were not known to many people many years ago. It was concluded with the ancestors of the major empires and even seems to have never been in the name of the Lord God.
If there is an agreement in literal form, things can be settled.
Politics is dirty, and politics is realistic. Even if he is a commoner, Link, who is the least proficient at it, can also know that in the minds of the powers at the level of the major empires and royal families, power is more important than what the main god is.
In other words, it is more like their highest belief.
For Grai I to have to succumb to the will of the temple, that is unless there is a force that Grai I feels irresistible, and such a force even an important minister in a high position in the empire like Périgueux has not been able to resist before.
If there is no awareness at all, then there is almost only one possibility.
That was the object that even Emperor Grai I of the Saqqara Empire found irresistible. He did not come from secular society at all!
Could it be that the legendary main god still doesn't really exist somewhere on this continent? He even showed his will in the Sakala Empire more than ten years ago and influenced Grai.
I’s final decision about the crown prince?!
Link and the others thought about it, not feeling a little shocked in their hearts, but they felt that this was probably the only reasonable inference.
After all, the strength of the Sakala Empire can be regarded as a first-class powerful empire even on the current continent. As the emperor of the Sakala Empire, Grai I is not an ignorant guy by any means.
Not only the powerful military force possessed by the imperial royal family, but also the ninth-level professional who is the top existence on the continent, Grai I, as the emperor of the empire, may not feel unfamiliar, even in the current Sakala Empire
Inside, there is also a ninth-level magic god living in seclusion in the imperial capital. Except for the legendary main god who suddenly appeared in front of Grai I, Link and the others really can't think of any other guy who can make this person.
At the last moment, the emperor of the Sakala Empire made a choice that was completely against his will, without even having any thoughts of resistance.
"I don't know either. His Majesty Gray I and I were not even sure until the end whether that request was really the will of the Lord God." Lord Perigo's answer made Link and the others frown.
He frowned: "But I think the Lord God should still be alive. I just hope that this time we are not really against the Lord God."
"Lord Perigueux!" Link's face darkened slightly. He was obviously dissatisfied with Lord Perigueux's way of describing everything in a vague way, so he shouted in an accentuated tone.
"My lords, please don't worry." Lord Perigo obviously understood Link's feelings very well and quickly explained: "I will definitely explain everything that happened that day to all of you in detail."
"That was already thirteen years ago." Lord Perigueux told the past events of that year, but his eyes clearly showed a confused look. He smiled bitterly: "In fact, these ten years have passed."
Over the past three years, I myself have often thought about everything His Majesty Gray said to me that night, but to this day, I still cannot fully understand it."
That day was just after the New Year, and Lord Perigueux received a secret summons from King Gray I on a windy and snowy night.
When the envoy of Grai I took Perigueux to the bedside of Grai I through a secret passage that even Lord Perigueux knew nothing about, and saw Grai I who was already on his deathbed,
Lord Perigueux, while feeling sad, could not help but feel a little surprised.
As early as a few years ago, King Grai I had health problems. No matter how skilled doctors were invited, there was no improvement at all. A few years ago, King Grai I had already handed over all state affairs to the prince of Sri Lanka.
, and as early as a few years ago, several royal doctors had privately informed the prince of Sri Lanka that the signs of life of His Majesty the Great Gray I had almost disappeared, and the old King Gray I could just delay his death for several years until the New Year this year.
, in the eyes of those royal doctors, it was a miracle that had shocked them countless times.
When the envoy of King Grai I came to his house mysteriously today and asked Lord Perigord to follow him into the palace in the middle of the night, Lord Perigord had already roughly guessed what would happen.
Since the Prince of Sri Lanka helped him ascend to the position of head of the Avarina family, his ability and his loyalty have quickly made him the most relied-upon and most trusted subject of the Prince of Sri Lanka. Regarding this, in
It is no longer a secret in the power center of the Sakala Empire, and for this reason, His Majesty Grai I, who has long been interested in passing the throne to the prince of Sri Lanka, has always viewed Lord Perigo in a different light, and has regarded him as
He became the best helper for the Sri Lankan prince after he succeeded to the throne.
Therefore, when Perigueux followed the envoy of Grai I into the palace through a secret route, Lord Perigueux had basically determined that Grai I would use this method to summon him at such a time.
It was because the life of King Grai I had reached the final moment, and he must have been summoned to explain the affairs of the Sri Lankan prince's succession to the throne.
In the history of the Saqqara Empire, in order to prevent any problems in the process of inheriting the throne, the old emperor often summoned important ministers and the new emperor's forces before his death, and personally explained everything to them, thus ensuring that
There is a precedent for the new emperor to successfully succeed to the throne. Although Lord Périgueux feels that the current Sri Lankan prince has presided over the political affairs of the Sakara Empire for several years and has made all the noble officials from top to bottom very obedient.
It was a bit fussy for Lai I to act like this, but he was careful and there was no big mistake, and he took it for granted.
What surprised Lord Périgueux was that he was the only one in front of Gray I's bed. This behavior was completely unreasonable.
Although Lord Perigueux himself and the Avarina family he represents are considered to be powerful and influential forces in the Sakara Empire, they are still not able to dominate the Sakara Empire with just one hand.
, to the point where the old emperor only summoned one of his important ministers before his death.
Therefore, Lord Perigueux at that time looked at Grai I who had his eyes closed on the hospital bed and seemed to have lost consciousness. He still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
No matter which empire you are in, no matter which emperor you serve, no matter how much trust you have gained from the current emperor, it is not a good thing for an emperor to think that you are a powerful official who can single-handedly influence the situation of the court.
.
Did His Majesty Grai I misunderstand, or did he come too early?!
Lord Perigo was standing in front of Gray I's bed, thinking about what to say in order to dispel Gray I's concerns about him. However, Gray I seemed to feel something and moved slightly.
, he opened his eyes with difficulty.
"You... are here!" Gray I smiled with difficulty and said to Perigord. Except for his voice being a bit choppy due to weakness, his tone was as calm as usual.
"Your Majesty!" Lord Perigueux had already thought about what to say, but at this moment, a strange feeling surged into his throat, blocking all his words. He knelt down on one knee.
He fell down in front of King Grai I's bed and only had time to choke out a cry.
"I...I can't do it anymore", Gray I struggled as if he wanted to sit up, but finally gave up and reached out to Périgueux with a trembling hand: "Sri Lanka will be entrusted to you from...from now on!"
"Your Majesty!" Lord Perigueux stretched out his hand and grabbed the cold palm of King Yeglai I. At that moment, Perigueux forgot all the worries he had just had.
The next kind of inexplicable sadness that even he himself can't explain, no matter what the purpose is, at least this old man, who has been in the slums, succeeded the Avarina family in the Sakara Empire.
When he was the head of a first-class aristocratic family, when many people looked at him with strange eyes, the old man still looked at him with a smile. No matter what the purpose was, at least this
When the old man was about to die, he only summoned him and held his hand tightly. Lord Perigueux cried to King Gray I with tears streaming down his face: "Don't worry, I will definitely assist His Highness Sri Lanka and govern it well."
Sakkara Empire, you can rest assured that His Highness Sri Lanka will definitely be a good emperor, he will definitely..."
Lord Perigueux spoke emotionally, but did not notice the sad and helpless expression on Gray I's face when he heard his words.
"That's not what I want to say." After finally waiting for Perigueux to finish speaking, King Gray I said with a wry smile: "I cannot pass the throne to Sri Lanka!"
"What?!" Lord Perigo stayed there as if he had been struck by lightning. He began to doubt his ears. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Gray I: "You...you just
say what?!"
"I cannot pass the throne to Sri Lanka." King Gray I seemed to have anticipated Lord Perigo's reaction. He looked at him and said calmly: "In a few days, Norton will ascend the throne and become the Norton of the Sakala Empire.
Three generations."
Thirteen years later, Lord Perigo, who was in front of Link and the others, couldn't help showing obvious excitement when he talked about what he heard from Gray I. Link and the others could
I wonder what the reaction would be if I met Lord Perigueux at that time.
Lord Perigueux could no longer recall what he was talking about at that time. He only remembered that he had forgotten all etiquette and identity at that time, and was yelling and screaming in front of the bed of Grai I. If Grai I had not told him
However, no matter what happens inside, no one can come in and disturb it. I am afraid that the palace guards who were guarding outside would have already rushed in.
It was only when Lord Perigueux calmed down a little that Gray I finally found a chance to speak and explained the cause and effect to Lord Perigueux.
And the original words of Gray I were similar to what Lord Perigo just said to Link and the others. They all started from the difference between the Ming Palace and the Rotating Palace.
Regarding such an agreement, although it has indeed been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family of the Saqqara Empire, and Grai I once heard his father mention it, however, because of this whirling palace, it seems that there has been no intervention at all since the founding of the Saqqara Empire.
Over time, the affairs of the Sakala Empire have passed. Although the emperors of the Sakala Empire did pass this agreement down from generation to generation due to the cherished entrustment of their founding ancestors, they have long since stopped taking it seriously.
The same thing happened. Even King Grai I at the time was stunned for a long time when he met the two so-called temple messengers and the Lord God's servants a few years ago before he could barely recall that such a thing had happened.
In the current environment on the mainland, in fact, many of the appointments of temple personnel within the Sakala Empire were approved by Grai I. However, the temples of the Sakala Empire have always been very secure.
He himself, Grai I, had never regarded this temple as a force capable of threatening the rule of the imperial family, so he had not paid much attention to it.
Now seeing the arrival of these two temple personnel, Grai I just thought that some guy in the temple had dug out the agreement from that year. He ran over to him in a daze and was dazzled in front of his eyes. Grai I
At that time, it was not regarded as a big deal at all. Having been in the position of emperor for a long time, he naturally had his own way of dealing with these things. He wanted to send them away first, but he had already made several plans in his heart.
, prepare to give those troubled guys in the temple a good beating.
However, the idea of Grai I was quickly seen through by the two guys who claimed to be the main god's servants. They did not say anything more, but showed their complete ignorance in front of Grai I.
Ability that belongs to the world.
When King Grai I said this, he opened his cloudy old eyes, looked at the top of the bed aimlessly, and started in a daze. It seemed that the emperor of the Sakara Empire, until he was narrating to Lord Perigo,
They have not yet recovered from the unworldly abilities displayed by those two masters and servants.
"Your Majesty, you have millions of troops in the entire Sakala Empire. There are thousands of strong men above the seventh level. No matter how powerful they are, they are nothing more than a temple." Lord Perigueux said at that time
In fact, this is the question that Link and the others want to know the most now. Although Lord Perigo was no longer young at that time, he was still highly motivated. Looking at the appearance of Gray I, he sincerely advised him: "
What's more, God Hashafa has always been living in seclusion in the royal manor. Although God Hashafa has always paid little attention to worldly disputes, when encountering such a thing, I believe God Hashafa will not stand idly by. Your Majesty
,if only……"
"It's useless." Listening to Perigord saying this, Gray I just smiled bitterly: "How can I still not understand what you are saying?!"
"It's useless. You don't understand. What they control is not the power to fight in the first place. They control it." Gray I sighed and looked at Perigue, with a kind of desperate sadness in his eyes:
"It's fate!"
"It's not just me, they control all the members of the royal family of the entire Sakala Empire, including Sri Lanka." King Gray I struggled reluctantly before spitting out the two words with difficulty: "Destiny!"
