Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 726: The seventh country of the alliance and its secrets
With the advent of the seaworthiness season after the end of winter, the city of St. Ivan and the Port of Long Island have gradually become busy.
Although the most indigenous citizens in the old territory live here, under the guidance of the macro policy, they have begun to quickly integrate into the new way of life.
Suddenly.
"Listen, where does the bell come from?"
"Look at the sky, it's a miracle!"
Along with the grand bell ringing in the void, a group of white clouds in the sky slowly split open, casting a large splendid golden cross of holy light, and in the center is the right core of this land-White Swan Castle .
After a small riot in the city, all the Neimansters who realized what had happened immediately went deeply in that direction with excitement and practiced the teachings of the "Black Iron Cross Church". name.
Of course, just like the rebellious battle against Ilya, angels will never show up on a large scale easily.
Only the very few of the most pious among the inhabitants can vaguely see the vague figure with white wings in the holy light, and that alone is already content to tears.
Along with the brilliant sound and light effects, a large-scale blessing magic technique has also come to this city, and it falls on every believer indiscriminately. If the belief value can be quantified, it will increase by at least a dozen percentage points after a wave of operations.
At this time, the news that Galliot was upgraded to a principality, in fact, has only just come back. There was a miracle coming soon, showing that nothing was said.
The Principality is a blessed place for the goddess! Saint Ivan is the beloved of the goddess!
Shoo! call out! call out!
At the same time as the huge bell rang, Ivan, a saint, had already heard the call of the holy angel Bellenus one step ahead of time, and greeted him quickly with his sister and Olivia who were also in the White Swan Castle.
"This..."
After taking the two girls to the holy angel surrounded by the holy light, I saw the thing that Bellenus was holding, and Ivan's expression was really subtle.
Just because this thing is a bit... familiar.
From the appearance, it is an exquisite piercing sword that is mostly used as a ceremonial sword.
The half-gilt vine pattern and the gorgeous half-ivory scabbard are cast into a majestic lion-shaped gold guard, and the hilt is inlaid with a silver-colored mother-of-pearl.
It is very similar in shape to the long sword that I was still admiring at St. James's Palace just a second ago, except that the end of the hilt is inlaid with a silver pearl, and a line of small characters-Garrett is inscribed.
There is no doubt that this is the "gilt golden lion sword" belonging to the Duchy of Galliot!
Generally speaking.
When the monarch conducts the ceremony of awarding knights and lower-level nobles, he will lightly tap the shoulders of the awardees with a ceremonial sword, in order to make them "wake up from nightmares and fight for lofty ideals."
At the same time, it is also a symbol of test and admonition, testing whether the recipient can maintain lofty ambitions before violence, and admonishing them that they will encounter more brutal battles on the road in the future.
The deeper meaning is: a simplified symbol of conquest and forced allegiance between people formed in ancient times. The first is to symbolize that the monarch has used the sword to conquer the recipients, and the second is to show that the monarch has the ability and power to punish the unfaithful.
As a military aristocrat who has reached this status step by step, Iwen has naturally experienced this kind of awarding process.
That was when he accepted the crown prince’s guardian knighthood in his youth and swore to do everything he could to protect Livina and the kingdom for life. In the blink of an eye, it was almost nine years ago.
But after getting this sword today, no king of the world can award him honors.
"Duke Galliot, every founding monarch in the history of the alliance has been given such a ‘gilt lion sword with mother shell’, and it is also a ‘sword of kingship’ belonging to that country.
And you are the only exception among them. Those who have gained the throne as a non-titled knight, take it, and accept the gift of the goddess! "
In the gentle encouragement of the holy angel, Ivan gently thanked him, and in the excited eyes of Anita and Olivia beside him, he stretched out his hands and took the "sword of kingship" that belonged to him.
Om——
As soon as the fingertips touched this gorgeous long sword, the golden light on it suddenly bloomed, and a giant phantom wearing an ancient crown suddenly appeared behind Aiwen, majestic and majestic.
The powerful majesty of the king was released with a sudden release centered on Aiwen and the "Golden Lion's Sword", Anita and Olivia standing behind him involuntarily stepped back two steps, even the face of a holy angel The above can't help showing a surprised look.
"Mars, the ancestor of the giant?"
Alvin, who had already held the sword in his hand, did not expect that the "Sword of Kingship" would resonate with the [Bloodline Plugin·Giant] in his body, creating this peculiar vision.
The ancestor of ancient giants, the "True God Mars", was the **** of agriculture, war, kingship, order, and riots at the beginning of the era. Also known as "the murderous murderer and the conqueror of the defensive castle", he may even be the first true **** in this era to possess a [humanized priesthood].
Look back and look at the two existing true gods who have the [humanized priesthood]. The priesthoods of "King Power and the Nautical Goddess" are [King Power] and [Navigation], and the "God in Black" is the [Injustice War] ], [Atrocity], [Robbery], [Theft].
This kind of coincidence is really imaginative.
However, the vision only lasted for a moment and then disappeared. Ivan didn't have the intention to explore for the time being. Since the sword was in his hands, he would sooner or later figure it out.
By the way, I completely swallowed the second half of the sentence that had come to my lips during the conversation with Livina.
Just want to say something, it's so fragrant!
The holy angel Bellenus saw the disappearing phantom, and his face was a little more interesting.
But the foundation of the gods is not knowledge but concepts and authority, not least of omniscience and omnipotence, and cannot fully understand Aiwen's current life form. Of course, he also didn't have the extreme thirst for knowledge like a wizard.
"Holy Angel, the first batch of spring tea in my [Witchcraft Garden] has matured, why don't you go sit and taste it at home?"
Under normal circumstances, even if there are intersections due to "official duties," angels who represent the will of the true God will not communicate too much with the king of the world.
"Those who belong to the gods belong to God, those who belong to the king belong to the king" are the most basic ethics for the "Goddess of Kingship and Navigation" and her angels, but for Aiwen it is an exception.
The division of humans and gods is mainly to prevent the gods from affecting the development process of the mortal world too much, but when contacting Ewen, Bellenus hoped to be more influenced by him, and learn from the way of thinking and correcting the gods.
Five minutes later, all the visions were reduced, a sacred angel who became a valiant young man and sat in the tea room of White Swan Castle with Aiwen.
Pour a cup of tender green tea soup for him with a bone china tea set made by his own home, and Ai Wen considered the words respectfully and said:
"Holy angel, actually...I always have a question I want to ask you?"
Seeing that He took a sip of tea soup and nodded with satisfaction, he continued:
"In the hundred years since the discovery of the New World, why didn’t the powerful churches focus on developing the New World? Even the potential followers of the Atrians, who have a total population of hundreds of millions, dismissed it? Are you willing to interfere in the material world?"
In fact, this is a question that has plagued Ivan for a long time. It is difficult to detect if you don’t think about it, but as long as you think about it carefully, you can realize the sense of violation, and the answer of the holy angel is also related to his future rule. The general policy of this continent.
To exercise restraint, slowly? Or do all the means, be vigorous and resolute?
Seeing what Ivan was thinking, Bellenus gave a chuckle:
"Actually, even if you don’t ask, I’m here to tell you this time. You don’t need to think too much about this land, just follow your ideas.
Although the main priesthood is the true **** of the [humanized priesthood], there are only our great goddess and the "Black Wing God", and the changes in human society have the greatest impact on them.
But most true gods may be very happy to see the rise of a powerful human civilization on the New World.
And why do you think that in the known world, only the source continent has faith in true gods? And still seven? Obviously the New World is more expansive and richer than the Source Continent, so why hasn't the true **** ever shown a miracle? "
Noting that Ivan was already deep in thought, the holy angel gave him an answer that was not an answer after thinking about it:
"When one day you realize what is in the'Broken Star Sea', you may understand the answer.
Hurry up. Trends are also time-sensitive. When you become a part of the rules of this world like us, and when you become a manager, the ordinary [world favors] is no longer useful~ IndoMTL.com~ Now you just need to know, no matter what you are doing on the New World It is enough that the true God and the church will not interfere, and my only advice to you is not to take the initiative to engage in the massacre of the Atrians! "
Subsequently.
They turned the topic to the coping plan for the bourgeois confidant, and the role of listening and speaking was immediately reversed.
When the new pot of tea was finished, when the holy angel got up to say goodbye, he glanced at the top of Aiwen's head and said jokingly:
"Your Majesty, you should prepare a crown for yourself."
In the alliance, at least the level of the six kings who can directly talk to the gods and the church is eligible to wear the crown on formal occasions.
Although it still belongs to the Kingdom of Falettis in name, it is a divided principality.
But Bellenus’s sentence is also in addition to the "sword of kingship", clearly and directly acknowledging the Duchy of Galliot, which already has the same status as the other six nations, that is, the seventh of the Tulip Alliance. Member States!
