Ryan first stayed in Teresa's wizard tower for a day. The sorceress took advantage of the favorable weather in winter when she wanted to study magic. She lingered with Ryan for one night and then took the initiative to drive him away. Veronica, on the other hand, was very free.
The Witch of Gloria simply followed Ryan's activities, and naturally she was nourished and her face glowed red.
A few days before the Winter Veil Festival, Ryan launched the "Earl Goes to the Grassroots" activity. As the divinely chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, Ryan Macado personally came to Red Fish Village, visited the village elders, and walked around the village
In the streets and alleys, we learned about the income and living conditions of serfs. After Ryan came here, the lives of serfs have undergone earth-shaking changes. At present, hunger and poverty are gradually moving away from this village. Seeing that everyone has a surplus of food in their homes, this makes
The count praised him repeatedly.
Later, Earl Lane came to the home of the village elder in Red Fish Village, extended holiday blessings to him, sent him a gift of two fish, and cordially asked about the village elder's family situation: "Is it inconvenient to enter the city? Public security
How is the situation? Is the cost of medical treatment high?”
Facing the count's cordial greetings, the villager smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the count's good leadership. Now the roads are smooth, public security is guaranteed, medical treatment is convenient, and life is getting better and better."
After visiting the village elders, the Count and his entourage visited the old man Yves's home. Yves was a physically disabled veteran who suffered from rheumatism and other diseases. There was no one around to take care of him. Faced with the gift given by the Count,
Blessing, the veteran was moved to tears: "I am 58 years old this year. I see the changes in the entire village. The environment is getting better and better, and the life is getting more and more beautiful. These are all gifts from the count."
"Are you eating well? Are you dressed warmly?" Opening the veteran's iron pot, Lane found minced meat porridge stewed in the pot. The Earl felt very happy. Lane said kindly that he should report to the knight if he has any difficulties. Veteran
They all used their lives to fight against evil, and they fought for the safety of Britannia.
Stability, unity, and harmony have made a lot of contributions. Kingdom knights in various villages should pay attention to understanding the needs of veterans and serving soldiers, so that they can feel the care from the Lake Fairy and the spirit of chivalry, and at the same time strengthen the soldiers.
With training, you will sweat more during normal times and bleed less during war.
After the visit, the Winter Veil Festival also arrived. Sulia officially gathered Lane's entire backyard in the name of his wife and held a turkey banquet. At the banquet, they discussed how to develop Lane's potential and reasonably allocate Lane's public time.
The issue of who comes first and who comes last were discussed in depth and consensus was reached on many aspects.
Ryan himself was not allowed to attend the banquet. He didn't know what the women talked about. Later, he learned from Olika, who was relatively loose-spoken, that Sulia and the others seemed to have signed an "agreement" together after many competitions that day.
, the Lady of the Lake also signed the agreement.
But Ryan didn't have time to pay attention to the banquet.
Because the Emperor has come, bringing with him Lorgar, the Primarch of the Word Bearers.
On the day of the Winter Veil Festival, deep in the Chalon Forest, in an underground cave.
The four Emperor's Imperial Guards looked around vigilantly. Any slightest sign of trouble would usher in their sharpest counterattack. Angron sat aside with a complex expression. He watched the Emperor's supreme power channeling Ryan's spirit and spirit.
Will, purifying his former brother, murmured: "Father, I thought you would capture Petrabo first, so that I could chop his stinky face with my axe."
The Emperor first focused his attention on the straw hat Angron was wearing, and then continued to focus on transforming Lorgar: "If you want to capture Petrabo, even if I do it myself, I must be prepared to lose at least
The preparation of three thousand forbidden troops is only 50% certain."
"That's Petrabo. The fortress he spent ten thousand years building is just waiting for others to attack, but unfortunately no one will go." Angron shouted: "I knew even when I was at my craziest, Petra
Beau and his fortress are untouchable."
"There is no fortress that cannot be breached, and there is no trial that cannot wait. Lorgar will pay the price for what he has done." Clarkson, the Primarch of the Raven Guard with skin as pale as snow and hair as black as graphite, stood in the distance.
, he was a little less taciturn than before. Looking at Angron, Clarkson said a few more words. If anything, there was something deeper in his tone.
"If the trial is always late, it means it didn't come." Ryan purified Luo Jia. The strength of the demon-ascended primordial body was indeed not very good. At least he felt much more relaxed than before. He whispered while transmitting energy.
: "At least, the trial is ten thousand years late, and even for many traitors, it will be even longer."
"The task of eradicating evil has been completed, only all enemies have been destroyed, their breaths have been wiped out, their souls and bodies have been removed from the world, and all records of their past and existence have been lost in time. The culprits must be punished, and the threats must be punished."
From the beginning, true victory can only come when all the records and names of the enemy and the scrolls with their stories are destroyed." Clarkson said to Ryan: "From the Holy Code of Astarte, Kiri
Written by Mann."
"Luojia did the same thing." The emperor spoke fluently. He looked at the Primarch of the Word Bearers lying on the stone slab, and there was no more expression on his cold face: "He is on a planet that worships the evil god.
Growing up, he learned nothing but faith. He was taught from an early age that the meaning of life is faith, and it doesn’t matter what you believe in, but whether you are pious or not.”
"He just needs an object of faith. Before I arrived in his world, the object of his faith was the evil god. After I arrived in his world, the object of his faith was me. After I discovered this problem and finally stopped it,
Afterwards, Luo Jia felt confused and realized that he
Mistake, but the core of faith that needs to be deep in his soul has not changed. After missing the object of faith, he is like a traveler in the desert, frantically looking for any water source. The thing named Luo Jia is filled with faith.
Since you can’t believe in me, then go find a new faith.”
"He began to consult countless scriptures and scrolls, looking for the so-called true God, the truth of the universe and the nature of the creature I called the Emperor. In this way, he arrived at the Eye of Terror, saw the four gods of Chaos, and...
An attitude of ecstasy embraced his new faith,
He lost his target before, so the Chaos Evil God gave him one. Luo Jia was like a puppy that saw a Frisbee for the first time. He didn't care what the target was, he just needed someone to give him one. Chaos gave it to him, and he led the way.
The Word Bearers offered their allegiance."
"How pious I was before, I hate you now, am I right? Luo Jia, my son?"
The purification was over. The Primarch of the Word Bearers, who had a bald head and ancient incantations engraved on his body, seemed to have lost everything. He said with despair: "You can even transform me who has willingly embraced Chaos.
The original appearance, father, the great God Emperor, you used your supreme power to take away everything from me. I finally found my destination. You once again cruelly deprived me of my faith. Even so, you still couldn't.
Are you willing to admit that you are indeed God?"
"How long will you continue to hold on to that lie?" After hearing Luo Jia's words, the emperor's face showed a very subtle change, and the Lord of Humanity's displeasure was expressed through his tone: "I don't want to argue with you anymore.
This question has no meaning anymore. Ten thousand years have passed, a big mistake has been made, and mankind is almost in danger of catastrophe."
"Because of this, human beings need faith. Human beings exist for faith. Father, what kind of rags have you and your empire become? The only thing that keeps your empire alive is what I brought to you.
, Faith." But Luo Jia was pressing forward step by step. The Primarch of the Word Bearers looked at his father, his creator, with a gaze that was so fanatical that it was almost crazy and pious that had no self: "The ending of the Age of Apostasy proves that
To sum up everything, there are two things: one, human beings need faith, and two, you are God."
"...I will change this situation." The emperor was silent at first, and then continued: "In my own way."
"Your way? Yes, your way, because no one can oppose you, no one can fight you, who can stop you? The Inquisition? The High Lords Council of Terra? Or the Imperial Ecclesiarchy? No, none of them can stop you
You, they rule your empire in the name of the God-Emperor. Now that you are back, they have shot themselves in the foot, and you have finally become what you originally hated most.
Luo Jia spoke like a kind priest, but his words were like sharp swords: "Look, a feast, chaos, undead, greenskins, bugs, they are on the carrion of your empire.
Enjoying a gluttonous feast, if it weren't for your return that ignited the fire of hope, the empire would have been doomed long ago. Even so, you still firmly believe that you are not a god?"
"I am not a god, Luo Jia, this is the last time I will talk about this issue." The emperor was always cold and calm: "Stop your smart judgment and self-righteous cognition, isolate yourself from chaos, and embark on evolution and enlightenment.
This is the ultimate direction of human evolution. I am not a god and never will be."
The three primarchs, Lion, Angron, and Clarkson, were sitting on a bench, drinking dwarf Bagman beer and listening to the conversation between the Emperor and Lorgar.
"Brother, would you like some sausage?" Ryan took out a plate.
"Give me some, oh, I like black pepper flavor." Angron nodded.
"Brother Clarkson?"
"Honey flavored."
"Here, this is the best raw honey."
The three original bodies sat together and ate and drank. Compared to people like Guilliman who like to think all day long, Angron and Clarkson were not people who struggled with this problem, and for Ryan
, the Emperor is his father, that's all, he doesn't care whether the Emperor is a god or not, as the original body of the Gray Knight, all he has to do is fight against evil in the name of the Emperor.
On the other side, the debate between Luo Jia and the Emperor continued.
"So you think your imperial truth can defeat Chaos? Do you think the truth of Chaos is that simple? Chaos comes from subspace, and the composition of subspace is the sum of all the emotions of all creatures in the entire universe. The more you fight against it, the more you fight against it.
The more you realize that you are actually fighting against yourself, why do I embrace Chaos, because Chaos cannot be eliminated, never can. Do you know that you and your empire's truth almost led to the birth of the fifth god of Chaos?" Luo Jia's face
His expression is very complicated. On the one hand, he is clear
On the one hand, the emptiness of waking up is the despair of shattered hope: "What is the essence of God? It is the sum of all biological consciousnesses and ultimately forms self-consciousness, and you, father, your projection in the subspace is the
Containment strengthened by the faith of all living beings
You don't have to admit it, but some things have changed in the ten thousand years since you sat on the Golden Throne. I fell because I accepted the view that you are not a god, but I have instilled it with you through decades of investigation.
What I was given was the complete opposite.”
"You are God, my father. The God I believed in told me that he was not God, but I found out that he was God. So contradictory, so divided, you tore me in two, you made me crazy! In one sentence, you
Overthrown everything I had!"
"Do you know how painful it is to force a person to repeatedly deny his faith?! But you did this to me twice! You forced a person who has believed in God since childhood
I converted to you! Then I forced your most loyal believers to give up their faith! I was forced to kneel in front of you and admit my mistake." At the end of the sentence, Luo Jia said
His expression was almost crazy, and he said hoarsely: "After I was forced to accept the view that you are not God, I discovered through countless signs that you are indeed God, but I have accepted the view that you are not God. I
I almost went crazy! I am not your toy. Instead of continuing to endure your lies, I should embrace chaos. At least they are willing to accept faith!"
"So I admit that some of my handling methods during the Great Crusade were wrong. I thought that the spread of imperial truth would keep mankind away from corruption, but I did not realize that the effect of forcible implementation was counterproductive because it could not provide spiritual support.
Compared with the use of reason and science to educate mankind, religious fanaticism can unite the masses more easily." The emperor nodded this time to agree with Luojia's point of view: "We need some changes, some subtle changes."
"I'm glad that we can reach an agreement, father. If you had realized this problem earlier, I would not have betrayed you at all." Luo Jia was still angry. He felt an emptiness both physically and mentally, and he subconsciously wanted to catch it.
The last straw: "You won't waste all your efforts to catch me and transform me. Tell me, father? What do you want me to do for you? You need me, right? Right?"
"I need a new Book of Sacred Scriptures, rewritten sentences, more beautiful illustrations and more enlightening stories. I need someone to help me manage and reform the national religion." The emperor said to Luo Jia: "You are
An important piece of the puzzle in my plan."
"Huh~" Luo Jia let out a sigh of relief after hearing the emperor's words. This was what he wanted, to be needed by his own god. The thing that supported the thing named Luo Jia was composed of both faith and being needed.
"Give me some time to think, father, I don't know which book I want, the Book of Chaos Lorgar or the Book of Holy Words. You want a demon prince, a dark apostle (Chaos Devotee) to be in charge of the state religion for you.
The Primarch? This is the third time you want to destroy my faith. I know that after being transformed by you, I will not be able to go back to Chaos, but I need some time." Luo Jia grabbed it with his fingers in pain.
My own scalp: "You're always so relaxed."
"Okay, during the period when I go to Lustria and when I come back, you can stay here with Ryan, and then we will return to Terra together." The Emperor closed his eyes and fell into a brief silence, his thoughts
He seems to be remembering something, and no one knows what the Lord of Humanity is thinking.
"Lane." After the short silence ended, the emperor turned to Lion and said, "Bring your wife to Angron's forest hut."
"Suliya Kumani Antri Dewenford is my canonized imperial princess, and I want to see her."
