Old days in the box

Chapter 134 Some things will never be forgotten

Unexpectedly, what Tai Yin wanted to announce when he called everyone this time was to launch a crusade against the Devil's Sea!
"I thought of it together. It would be easier. I don't even have to propose it myself." Zhou Xiao quickly came to his senses and muttered to himself in front of the screen.

"My Guards will join this expedition, as will the Frankish Royal Navy, of course, but beyond that, I need the support of everyone here."

Tai Yin put away his careless attitude, showed an uncharacteristically dignified look, and looked at everyone at the dinner table.

They all know that the King's Lion Guards are powerful and are the forbidden army dedicated to Tain Odinson. Now that he wants to send the Lion Guards on board, it shows that he is indeed serious about this expedition.

"Will the Church of the God of Raging Waves support this expedition?" Tayin looked at the Bishop of Marseille.

"Of course! This group of descendants who believe in the Death of the Sea should have been extinct long ago. The church will absolutely support any decision of His Majesty the King!" The Bishop of Marseille and several church leaders immediately replied without hesitation.

After what happened with the steam carriage that night, they were so frightened by Tain that they didn't dare to say no at this time.

"Will the Odin Cult, which has always protected Frank in the past, support my expedition?" Taiyin looked at Pope Fross who had been silent.

He had just deliberately introduced his enthronement oil painting to Freya and ridiculed the Odin Cult in front of so many people, but now he turned around and asked for the support of the Odin Cult. It was really hard to figure out what he was doing. What are you thinking.

"If this is really what you want, my king." Pope Fros sighed.

"Well, what about the Sons of the Old One and the rumored North Sea Kingdom? I'm looking forward to having loyal comrades like you." Taiyin nodded and finally turned to Freya.

Only then did Freya understand why she was picked up here as soon as she got off the boat, and why Taiyin had to wait for her to arrive before starting the meal.

It turns out that she was not invited as a church saint.

Instead, he was invited as a representative of the Beihai Kingdom!

Taiyin wanted to win the support of the North Sea Kingdom and the Children of the Old in this expedition, so he specially invited Freya here.

"Since the king has such ambitions, I believe that the North Sea Kingdom will not refuse. In fact, we have always wanted to get rid of these threats from the sea."

What Tyin said was completely consistent with the content of the divine guidance of the Son of the Old One, which gave Freya no reason to refuse.

And it was obviously much more reasonable for the king himself to propose it than for her, a church saint, to suddenly propose it.

"It's great. With the support of all of you, I believe this expedition will be a success. Come on, let's toast to our triumph!"

Tai Yin raised the crystal cup in his hand, and everyone raised their glasses in response at the same time. It seemed that no one dared to question Tai Yin's decision.

"Miss Freya, my personal guards and the Royal Navy can all be assembled within three days. I wonder how the North Sea Kingdom plans to support my expedition?" Taiyin drank another gulp and continued to ask.

"Tell him that I will give him a surprise in three days." Zhou Xiao immediately smiled.

"Don't worry, King, I will definitely give you a surprise in three days." Freya was unambiguous and immediately recited the Divine Instruction of the Son of the Old One exactly.

As soon as she said this, the bishop and several church leaders couldn't help but look at this little church saint, thinking that her answer was a bit arrogant.

The reason why the king asked this was obviously because he wanted Beihai Kingdom to give a definite explanation, not just empty talk.

But Freya's answer was basically the same as no answer. She still didn't say any definite support plan.

Surprise, what is a surprise?

Three days later, only a bag of gold coins was sent as support, which was considered a "surprise".

But Taiyin didn't mind Freya's answer. Instead, he laughed: "Since you said that, I have to look forward to your surprise, hahaha."

This meal, called a meeting, was actually a war meeting, and it soon ended.

Since no one was thinking about food, they didn't stay in the crystal dining room for too long after discussing the expedition.

The bishop and the church leaders announced that they would prepare support for the expedition and quickly rushed back to the chapel.

Zhou Xiao and Freya also had to start arranging preparations for the war in three days, so they also proposed to resign.

Taiyin agreed to their exit, and Joseph also offered to take Freya out of the church.

As everyone left, only Tyin and Pope Frost were left in the luxurious crystal dining room.Tai Yin waved his hand and asked all the senior interpreters to step back and leave the room.

"Is it interesting for you to publicly humiliate the Odin Cult and the centuries-old official faith of your own kingdom in public?" Pope Frost slowly raised his head to look at the oil painting hanging behind the dining table, and finally said.

"If you mean seeing the helpless expression on your face, that's really interesting." Taiyin chuckled softly and put his legs on the luxurious dining table like a street gangster.

"This expedition is unwise, my king. The invasion of the European coast by the Devil's Sea is not a matter of a day or two. It is just a friction between Niord, the God of Raging Waves, and Egil, the God of Sea Death, and our Frankish Kingdom. It’s irrelevant, there’s no need for us to get involved.”

"I must correct you." Taiyin directly picked up the wine bottle on the dining table and looked at Pope Fross jokingly: "This is my kingdom, not yours. You are no different from the Church of the God of Raging Waves. It’s just a belief.”

This sentence clearly offended Pope Frost, and his face gradually showed an expression of anger and disappointment, as if a father was facing his ineffective children.

"You have never cared about this kingdom. If Joseph hadn't appeared here, you wouldn't have come to Marseille to support her, right?"

"Well... I have to admit this." Taiyin frowned as if he was really thinking seriously, and then replied.

Fross sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head: "You are a mortal chosen by Odin, the father of the gods. He gave you such a noble bloodline to make you a great king, not just to revolve around one woman. rogue."

"What you said reminds me of a story. A woman of humble origin claimed that she had been favored by the gods and gave birth to a child of the gods. However, the church did not believe this woman and burned her to death as a heretical witch."

"What's interesting is that later this kingdom welcomed her child back and made him its king, telling him that he should be a great king instead of a gangster. Pope, do you think this story is funny?"

Tain looked at Pope Fros with a smile, while the latter had an expression of silence on his face.

"If you are still concerned about your mother's matter, I have already explained to you that it was just the work of a small group of corrupt elements in the church at that time, and we have also posthumously named your mother the mother of the country——"

"I think you misunderstood, Pope. I am just saying this to clarify my point of view: Gods create mortals just for fun, and gods come to earth just for carnal desires, nothing more. They treat us no differently than ants, let alone What kind of bullshit mission will be given to us?"

Tai Yin turned his head back as if nothing had happened and continued drinking until he drank up the entire bottle of wine.

"No, that's not the case. Everything God does has a deep meaning. He is always watching us." Fross shook his head.

"Really, then where was He when you needed Him? Where was He when the people of Frank were living in dire straits? Where was He when my mother was tied to a wooden frame and lighting a fire? When I Where was He when He was called a bastard and cast out into the streets?”

Taiyin's tone was inexplicably colder. Fross looked at him, as if he could see the atmosphere around him freezing, and a chilling anger was rolling over him, making him sigh.

"...You're not here to discuss the meaning of gods with me today, right? You're here for the extraordinary weapon in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, the World of War."

Fross spoke slowly, like an old man who had finally given up.

"Yes, if there is any obstacle to the expedition, I may need that weapon at any time," Tain put his head on the velvet seat and replied, "So my Pope, will you support me?"

Although the Odin Cult has rapidly declined and been marginalized over the years, they still have a very unique extraordinary item in their hands, which has been stored in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles.

It was an extraordinary miraculous spear descended by Odin, the father of the gods, called the Sorrow of the World. It was said that this spear was modeled after Kungunir, the eternal spear, and had unparalleled power, even capable of tearing apart space, briefly opening a passage to other realms.

But the divinity of the World's Sorcerer was too strong. Before Tain, the entire Frankish Kingdom could not find a transcendent person who could control it, so naturally it remained in the hands of the Odin Cult.

"Of course the church will support you, my king... In my opinion, that extraordinary spear has always been your destiny. After all, it was sent down by your father..."

"He is not my father!"

Shocking rage burst out of Taiyin in an instant, shattering all the glasses on the table.

His face became extremely unfamiliar. It was an angry expression that the people around him had never seen before. Even the Lion Guards who fought alongside him through life and death had never seen it on this arrogant king. to this expression.

"My name is Tayin, that's all." Tayin put away his legs on the dining table, stood up from the head of the dining table, and said coldly.

The distance between this sentence alone was a rift that Frank would never be able to mend in a few more generations. Fross no longer had any hope in his heart.

"I understand... If nothing happens, I want to go back first. I will also return to the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles to prepare for the death of the world." Fross was heartbroken and stood up and sighed.

"Back off." Taiyin turned away and waved his hand.
