In the magnificent temple in the center of the imperial capital, hundreds of temple knights in heavy armor and almost the same number of nobles in luxurious robes stood neatly and quietly under the high platform.
There were a huge array of thousands of people on both sides, but they only occupied a small area in this huge and magnificent temple.
There were huge stone pillars that were hundreds of meters high and could be hugged by several people. They occupied the entire wall. Even if they raised their heads hard, they could not see the full view of the giant reliefs. There was also a giant relief sculpture in front of them made of black stone, more than ten meters high and nearly a hundred meters wide.
The huge stone platform connected by dozens of wide steps made these thousands of people deeply feel their own insignificance. In front of Chen Mo, who was sitting high on the throne, they felt like ants, humble and insignificant.
After all, those sitting on the throne are real gods! And they are just a group of mortals.
Chen Mo gathered all the ministers in this temple that he had never visited in person since it was built. Naturally, he had something important to announce.
Looking at the people below who were standing in solemn silence, Chen Mo, who was sitting on the throne, had a solemn face and spoke slowly and secretly with reminiscence.
"It has been eight years since I came to this world."
Chen Mo's majestic voice sounded in the temple, and the thousands of people standing neatly below the hall could clearly hear every word he said.
"Now that the werewolves have been eliminated, the continent is unified, and my people live in peace."
"It's time for me to go back."
The people below listened to what Chen Mo said, and their faces were full of reminiscence and reverence at first. But when they heard the last word, Chen Mo said that he wanted to leave, they were all shocked.
"Owner!"
"His Majesty!"
Chen Mo was their belief and the master they were loyal to. He had been leading them forward and guiding them in the direction. Now, he suddenly said that he was leaving. This made everyone below at a loss as to what to do and fell into incomparable panic and chaos.
Chen Mo frowned slightly when he saw this, raised his right hand and pressed it gently. The chaotic people below instantly became quiet, and looked at Chen Mo on the throne with hesitation. Their god, their emperor, was leaving them?
However, some people slowly realized that their emperor was not an ordinary person, but a true god who came from heaven and could not stay in the human world forever.
Now that the entire European continent has been unified, the werewolves have been eliminated, war, hunger, and poverty are all a thing of the past, and the days of hardship, hardship, and precarity are gone forever.
God has saved his people from despair and brought them a stable and prosperous life. Naturally, it is time to return to the kingdom of heaven. After all, that is the kingdom of God.
Ignoring the people below, Chen Mo raised his head and cast his gaze towards the gate opposite the hall.
"Selena!"
Chen Mo's voice was majestic and grand.
As Chen Mo's words fell, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and dazzling light shone in from the outside. The entire door was like a golden light door, dazzling and holy.
Under the gaze of thousands of people in the hall, a petite figure slowly walked out of the holy light.
Selena was wearing a holy and elegant white dress, with her soft golden hair hanging behind her head. She walked slowly towards the crowd with light steps.
The two rows of huge stone pillars in the middle of the hall formed a wide passage. Selina's small figure crossed the rows of stone pillars, passed between the knights and officials, and came under the stone platform.
Everyone on both sides looked at Selina with puzzled faces, not understanding why Chen Mo summoned her in.
Only Andrew and the four people standing under the high platform at the front of the crowd calmly looked at little Selina who walked past them and climbed towards the high platform with a small face. There was no surprise on her face.
color.
Selena held the hem of her skirt in her little hands, stepped onto the high platform step by step, and came to Chen Mo.
Looking at the petite and beautiful little Selena in front of him, Chen Mo showed a kind look on his majestic face. He slowly stood up from the throne and put his right hand on Selena's little head.
Amid the confused gazes of everyone below, Chen Mo's deep and majestic voice slowly sounded.
"In my name, Selena is now canonized as the saint of the temple, to rule the temple, and to be my apostle in the world."
Upon hearing Chen Mo's canonization, the people below who had just recovered from the shock of Chen Mo's imminent departure were not too surprised.
Chen Mo had never paid much attention to temples and faith matters before. This temple was built under the auspices of Andrew and others.
Now that Chen Mo is about to leave, it is reasonable to choose a devout believer to be canonized as a saint and spread his faith for him.
But what Chen Mo said next shocked them.
"The throne of the empire is held by a saint. Selina is now crowned as the empress of the empire!"
As the majestic and majestic voice echoed in the hall, Chen Mo raised his hands, took out a gorgeous crown inlaid with diamonds from the void, and gently put it on Selena's head.
The city lords and officials below looked at little Selena who was put in the crown by Chen Mo, and many people's eyes flashed with unexplainable light.
Originally, when Chen Mo was on the throne, they were still very afraid of the emperor who was as powerful as a god and defeated them and conquered them, and they did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts.
The noble titles that Chen Mo later conferred based on their merits were not very high, and they no longer had the right to recruit soldiers, so they honestly and peacefully served Chen Mo.
But now that Chen Mo claimed that he was about to leave and pass the throne to a teenage girl, many people who were just afraid of Chen Mo's power had strange thoughts in their hearts.
They surrendered to Chen Mo willingly. Although many people did not believe in Chen Mo's identity as a god, it did not affect their fear and obedience to Chen Mo at all.
But a teenage girl wanted to be their queen, but she couldn't make them obey willingly and show their loyalty like she did to Chen Mo.
Just when many people's eyes flickered, Andrew, Victor, Amelia and Marcus, who were at the front of the queue, all knelt down on the ground as soon as Chen Mo finished speaking.
, shouted in his mouth.
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
Behind them, hundreds of temple knights naturally have no doubts about Chen Mo's decision. Now that Selena has been canonized by Chen Mo as the temple saint and the queen of the empire, she is the one they need to protect and obey.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Immediately following Andrew and others, hundreds of temple knights wearing heavy armor and powerful aura knelt down neatly on the ground, shouting.
"Long live Her Majesty the Saint!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
The deafening sound reverberated throughout the entire hall, causing the hearts of the noble officials who were standing by to beat involuntarily, and it seemed that it was becoming difficult to breathe.
Many nobles who had other thoughts looked at the tall, powerful, and imposing Temple Knights opposite them, and wisely erased the thoughts that had just popped up in their minds.
With these terrifying Temple Knights who are extremely loyal to Chen Mo and have conquered the entire European continent for him, they are invincible and invincible. Coupled with the assistance of the four great Dukes who hold most of the power in the empire, no one can shake him.
This little girl came out of nowhere to claim the title of queen.
In this case, why bother killing themselves with eggs and stones? They are actually very satisfied with their current life, and more rights are not within their control.
So, after a group of temple knights, these city lords and officials who were in charge of administrative affairs in various parts of the empire also knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
Chen Mo saw the performance of everyone below. Chen Mo didn't pay attention to those city lords and officials, nor was he worried at all.
No matter how powerful they once were as earls, marquis or dukes, and how powerful they were in their hands, now they are just ordinary administrative officials with some ability who can manage the place and handle government affairs for Chen Mo.
Among them, the one with the highest title is only a viscount, and many more don't even have a title. This was entirely awarded by Chen Mo based on their political achievements and performance.
Chen Mo would not mind giving higher titles to those who are capable and loyal enough, or even transforming them into vampires. Unfortunately, except for Victor, no one among them is so good or loyal enough.
But now they were needed to help manage this huge empire, and Chen Mo didn't care about their loyalty.
After all, even if they want to rebel, they still need to have enough strength, but obviously, they do not have the strength to threaten the empire.
They have no access to military power at all, and administrative power is also subject to checks and balances and supervision. Even if they want to use the power in their hands to cause some trouble, it is actually very difficult.
Therefore, their only choice is to do their jobs well and accumulate merits in order to obtain higher rewards, money, titles, and fiefs. These are the real things they can seek.
At the same time, Chen Mo has already made other arrangements for this. The war is over, and the loyal knights of the Temple Knights no longer need to go into battle to kill the enemy.
In the past three years, in addition to being responsible for training new troops, they have been studying cultural knowledge and cultivating administrative abilities under Chen Mo's arrangement. After all, most of them have no experience in managing local areas or handling government affairs.
Many people don't even know the words.
But for vampires, the most indispensable thing is time. They have enough time to learn slowly, and eventually they will grow up enough to shoulder the burden of the lord of a city. At that time, they will replace these officials and take charge of the entire empire.
These officials will receive corresponding rewards based on their performance and return to their manors to enjoy their retirement life, or become a new vampire and truly join the ranks of the empire's rulers.
Whether they die on a gorgeous bed or hold a scepter and gain eternal life, it all depends on their own choice.
