Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 175 A commission

In a hidden church filled with light, a cross with a height of more than [-] meters was erected directly in front of it.In front of the cross, a huge blurry figure stood there, carrying everything on its back, watching the spirits with pity.

Inside, there are rows of black seats with backrests, but there is only one prayer.

He was sitting in the center of the first row, wearing a rather simple white robe, with a pale gold beard covering the lower half of his face, and clasped his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, with a gentle and calm expression.

tread!tread!
A tall figure appeared from the door of the church. He was wearing a knight suit that had been melted and distorted. There were cracked ravines all over it. He looked scarred, as if he had suffered through countless battles and endless years.

Behind him is a broken cloak that sparkles with sparks, and behind the helmet is a crown with a strange shape, which is the proof that he is a king!

He walked through the rows of benches and walked step by step to the prayers.

He looked down at the praying man on the bench with a hoarse and indifferent voice:
"Adam, your plan failed."

The praying man raised his head, revealing eyes as clear as a child's.

He stood up slowly, but even so his figure only reached the opponent's waist and abdomen, which made him only raise his head and look up at the tall figure in front of him.

Adam looked up at it calmly, and asked with a peaceful expression:
"Failed?"

The tall figure's tone was extremely cold:
"George III fell early, and the God-making plan was destroyed. Isn't this a failure? You could have prevented all of this, but you didn't do anything!"

Adam glanced at him, still speaking at an unhurried pace, and said calmly:

"The ultimate purpose of God-making is to let him spread fire, but he has obviously questioned the necessity of spreading fire. Even if George III did not fall, even if George III really became the Dark Emperor, he would not spread fire. It's pretty clear, isn't it?"

The tall figure did not answer Adam's question, and emphasized again with a hoarse voice:
"He must spread fire! There is not much time left in this world, and the 'prime barrier' will disappear completely in 18 years. At that time, the stars and the doomsday will come together, and everything in the world will be destroyed. He is the only hope of this world, you You must let him spread the fire, this is your only hope!"

"Or, do you have the confidence to become the old days before the end? You are not even a true god!"

Adam remained silent, just watching him calmly.

After a long time, Adam calmly said:

"I will find a way. There is still a lot of firewood, and we still have plenty of time."

"It's best, don't forget our agreement."

The tall figure coldly dropped a warning, turned and left the church.

Adam watched him leave the church, and sat down on the long seat again, clasped his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, closed his eyes slightly, with a warm and calm expression.

He was right about one thing.

There are only 18 years left in this world, and he really doesn't have enough confidence to become the old days during this time.

Because even in his heyday, he had even integrated the source quality and the five omnipotent pathways needed to become the old days, but because of the pollution, he could only be regarded as quasi-old days.Although there is only one word difference from the old days, it is not the real old days after all.

And now he is not even a true god, even if he has the confidence to prepare for the ceremony of becoming a god in a short time.

But if you want to become the old days, you must hunt and kill the other three true gods.And even without the interference of other true gods, this is not an easy task.

In this case, letting the embers spread the fire and renew the life of this world seems to be the best choice.

But the truth of spreading fire, is it really just to continue the world?

What can he gain from the spreading of fire from the embers?
What role did the incarnations of the salary kings of the past dynasties play in this?
Adam murmured in a low voice:
"Empty has the power of the kings of the past, but failed to inherit their wisdom and strategy. What is the origin of you like this? The incarnation of the king? Or the incarnation of fire?"

He stared ahead with an extremely calm expression.

The death of George III meant the failure of the fire transmission plan, but his plan was not fire transmission from the beginning.

Instead of what he considered a failure, Adam precisely considered the plan a success.
-
1 month 1 day.

One day in 1350, after a night of intense 'confrontation'.

The royal family finally made a choice and announced the death of the king to the public——

George III suffered a severe illness on New Year's Eve, and died on the spot after rescue efforts failed.

Grand Prince George Frederick Ernst Albert Augustus succeeded to the throne, known as George IV in history.

George IV, who was hit by a huge surprise, was undoubtedly overjoyed. He was over thirty years old, and he thought it would take at least four or fifty years before he could inherit the throne.Now this incident has been advanced for decades, which made George IV, in addition to grief, immediately convene the representatives of the nobles who supported him in the House of Lords to discuss with them the funeral of the former King George III.

As for the new king's first order, no one would refuse it.

The representatives of the aristocrats were full of red faces, and the representatives of the emerging nobles and businessmen who originally supported the second prince were now eager to disassociate themselves from the second prince, for fear of being liquidated by George IV.

In a side hall of Sodlark Palace.

Wearing a crown, his appearance is seven points similar to that of George III, but George IV, who looks more immature, sits on the throne.It can be seen from his expression that he can't put it down, and his eyes are burning with fire, obviously he can't wait to start to realize his "grand blueprint"!
George III turned his gaze to Agushid, and asked impatiently:
"Prime Minister Aguhid, what do you think of starting a war against the Feysac Empire?"

The expressions of the nobles below were a little subtle. George III was in his prime, and he didn't even think he would abdicate early.And George III obviously thought so too, and he had other plans, so he gave his sons a 'pig-raising education'.

The sudden death of George III also caused George IV to take the throne too hastily, and he has not yet learned how to be a qualified king.

Prime Minister Aguhid showed a helpless expression, smiled wryly and said:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty George III formulated a series of national policies when he was in office, which caused a lot of changes in the current affairs of the Loen Kingdom. There are good and bad changes, but without exception, they will lead to huge turmoil in the current policies. And Until we absorb the turbulence caused by these changes and stabilize society completely, we will not be equipped enough to wage war."

George IV frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

He had just ascended the throne, so he was naturally eager to realize his grand blueprint and make some real achievements to stabilize his rule.And in the heart of George IV, there is no greater achievement than recovering the lost land taken by the Feysac Empire.

And now the grand blueprint he put forward was rejected by the Prime Minister. Does this mean that he looks down on the king?
"Your Majesty the King."

Earl Hall also took a step forward and reminded, "Not only is the current political turmoil, but the Loen Kingdom's finances are also stretched to the point of stretching."

George IV was taken aback, frowned and asked:

"What's going on here? Shouldn't the financial income in the past few years be very good? Why is there no money?"

Prime Minister Alguhid coughed dryly and explained vaguely:
"It is His Majesty George III. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer was personally appointed by His Majesty George III. The Ministry of Finance has always had a mysterious fixed expenditure, which accounts for at least one-tenth of the Ministry of Finance's annual expenditure, and this The money is missing from Treasury records, and it is not clear what it was used for. After investigation, the expenditure was directed to the royal family. Therefore, it may only be up to you to personally investigate the whereabouts of this money."

George IV's complexion sank, his father really left him a big mess!

Although he failed to inherit the throne before, under the influence of the nobles, he has a certain grasp of the current affairs of the country.

For example, many of the policies specified by my father and king are all harmful to the country and have no benefit——

For example, property restrictions on elections have been relaxed;
Another example is to allow those businessmen to obtain titles through 'donation', and even allow businessmen who have obtained titles in this way to enter the House of Lords!

This practice of selling officials and nobles is undoubtedly damaging the foundation of the Loen Kingdom!
Before taking the throne, George IV criticized this policy more than once, and even made 'suggestions' to George III with the support of the nobles.But there is no doubt that George III didn't even bother to look at it!
George IV clenched his fists and ordered in a deep voice:
"Then start with the policy reform first, Prime Minister Aguhid, Earl Hall, you come up with a plan to abolish those unreasonable policies!"

Earl Hall shook his head, tactfully advised:
"Your Majesty, are you going to announce to the outside world that the first thing you did after you took the throne was to abolish the policies formulated by the previous king?"

George IV's expression sank, that would definitely not work.

Although he was quite dissatisfied with the policies formulated by his father, even the nobles and citizens were extremely dissatisfied with it.However, if he came forward to abolish a large number of policies formulated by George III, it would undoubtedly affect his majesty and rule.

George IV said in a deep voice:
"What about repealing the seat-by-donation policy? That's fine, right?"

George IV believed that the abolition of this policy would surely gain the strong support of the nobles.

Because it is an insult to the noble class to let those dirty businessmen get titles!
Earl Hall and Prime Minister Agusid looked at each other, smiled wryly and said:
"Your Majesty, it is best not to do this."

George IV was puzzled and said:
"why?"

Shouldn't the abolition of this policy be the top priority of the nobles?

Earl Hall spread his hands and said simply:
"Your Majesty, the state's finances are stretched to the point where it must rely on this policy to secure enough funds to keep the country running."

George IV replied:
"How much money can I have?"

Earl Hall pondered for two seconds, giving an example:
"There is a price list for this. The lowest baronet needs 30 pounds, and the hereditary baron costs 70 to 100 million pounds..."

George IV's face changed slightly. He seemed to be hearing this statement for the first time, but he was obviously shocked by the huge amount.

George IV said in a deep voice:
"Where did all that money go?"

Earl Hall smiled wryly, while Prime Minister Agucide explained euphemistically:
"Your Majesty, as you know, His Majesty George III has always been personally responsible for matters in this area. Even if I am the Prime Minister, I have no right to ask."

George IV immediately realized that this sum, like one-tenth of the Ministry of Finance's expenditure, mysteriously 'disappeared'.

George IV's resentment towards George III grew deeper and deeper, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

My father doesn't do any business at all, so where did he spend so much money?
George IV was a little annoyed and said:

"That is to say, even if I have already ascended the throne, I still can't do anything?"

Earl Hall said seriously:
"Your Majesty, you have to understand that you are the master of this country, and you can do whatever you want. Prime Minister Aguhid and I are just making suggestions for you. If you insist on doing it, we will strictly implement it."

Only then did George IV's expression soften a little, and he also realized the good intentions of the nobles.

Yes.

Aren't these hereditary nobles who have been poisoned by these policies?
Their own proposals are clearly in their interests, but they would rather give up their own interests and give the correct advice faithfully, just because doing so will affect the coercion and foundation of the king.

With such a loyal minister, why worry about the country's prosperity?
Prime Minister Al Gushid also proposed:

"Your Majesty, if you must do something. I suggest that you continue to implement some of His Majesty's policies and try to implement them in the shortest possible time. In this way, the people will remember His Majesty's achievements."

George IV's expression moved slightly, he was a little moved by this proposal, and immediately nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, let's do it."

Although the father's policies are rubbish, some of them are good.

It would be a good thing if it could be made and packaged as his achievement.

Earl Hall said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I have one more request. Alfred has been dispatched to carry out a secret mission of the royal family, and there has been no news for half a month! Even if he cannot disclose the specific mission he is performing, at least let him send a telegram back. "

George IV's complexion sank, and it was the mess left by his father, but don't let Earl Hall alienate him because of such a trivial matter.

George IV hid his inner emotions and solemnly said:

"Don't worry Earl Hall, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!"
-
Inside a cafe in Hillston District.

The young man with black hair and brown eyes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked vigorous and pushed open the door of the private room, and sat down opposite Ember very naturally.

Ember looked at the strange-looking young man in front of him, and didn't have any surprises, but instead asked:
"Is it you looking for me, or 'The Fool' looking for me?"

Klein, who had changed into the appearance of 'Zhou Mingrui', was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized, and replied:
"I was looking for you."

The news of George III's death has already appeared in the newspapers, and of course Klein also knows the news——

And he firmly believed that George III must have been killed by Embers, perhaps he was trying to test 'The Fool''s attitude towards this matter.

Ember nodded slightly, signaling Klein to continue.

Klein deliberated for two seconds, then said:

"I'm going to go to sea to find the mermaid soon."

Ember asked pointingly:

"The materials are ready?"

"not yet."

Klein shook his head, "However, it will take some time for the potion to be digested, so you can go to the seaside to find it."

"That's it."

Ember pondered for two seconds, then slowly said, "I have a request."

Klein was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became serious.
