Carry the Ring of Elden with you

The moment Roland appeared on the podium, thirty homeless knights unsheathed their swords in unison. The silver ceremonial swords pointed upward, and their hands held the bronze hilts powerfully. , held up in front of his armor of a lost knight with complex patterns carved on it.

The sudden outstanding behavior of the Homeless Knights made all the envoys from various countries present nervous, especially the envoys from the Holy Empire of France and the Empire of Charles. Although the guards behind them had left their weapons behind when they came in, They walked to the door, but still raised the ceremonial weapons that were inconvenient for combat and came to their masters. The ether in their bodies was running, and they looked nervously at the homeless knights who also drew their ceremonial swords.

Even the elves of the Songyue Dynasty subconsciously touched the personal weapons on their waists when they saw this scene. Only the dwarves of Stone Heart Castle cheered for the homeless knights.

Among the envoys from the Beixun Kingdom, Tex also became nervous, veins popped out on his thick arms, and he subconsciously protected his father.

"Relax, Tex." His father stretched out his strong hand and patted Tex on the shoulder: "If Mr. Roland wants to murder us, he can use a method that many people will not notice, and he will not do it at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. Human lives.”

Tex hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe that his father had sat down in his seat.

He couldn't help but look at the knights in shining armor. The intelligence provided by the Holy Empire of France and the Empire of Charles showed that these knights in shining armor all possess near-legendary levels of strength.At first, Tykes thought that the intelligence agencies of the two countries deliberately exaggerated each other's combat effectiveness to cover up their own failure and incompetence, but the aura exuded by these knights in shining armor just now made him feel terrified that they were being targeted by giant beasts.

Especially those homeless knights who did not have flying dragon sculptures on their helmets and were wrapped in red scarves. From these knights in silver armor, Tex felt the oppression of being targeted by giant dragons.

The reason why the mission guards from other countries were so nervous was because they were afraid of the combat effectiveness of these knights in silver armor. There were thirty strong men who could approach the legendary strength with ten thousand, so they couldn't tolerate being nervous.

Although there are many people with legendary strength among the guards of the missions from various countries present here, they do not think that when the lost knights attack, they will trust others to work with them to resist the enemy.

But soon the nervousness of these mission guards was dispelled by the cheers from the dwarves of Stoneheart Castle.

These lovely dwarves truly cheer for their allies Roland, especially Karn Hammer.Because Roland not only allowed dwarves who had no connection with magic to use brand-new magic, but also gave Karn Hammer himself access to materials that could be used to forge god-killing weapons.

Therefore, His Excellency the Dwarf Prince personally took the lead in applauding: "Hammer on top, to my most affectionate friend, Roland! Stoneheart Castle will always advance and retreat together with the Golden Dynasty!"

After Roland observed the commotion in the audience on the podium, he first smiled and nodded to Kahn Hammer, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of comfort. The projection of the golden tree above Stonewell City also followed Roland's movements. Rays of golden light soothed the nervousness of the guards of the missions from various countries.

"Sorry, everyone. My knights frightened you. They have no hostility towards you." Roland said.

Chapter 134: Founding Ceremony Four has been modified

After Roland eased the tension of the delegations from various countries, he continued his speech.

"I think since the Golden Dynasty appeared on the Salid continent, everyone here has racked their brains to search for my personal life and whether there was a Golden Dynasty in the ancient era." Roland said: "About the latter , I can say with certainty to you that our Golden Dynasty did exist."

The envoys from various countries listened carefully to what Roland said, and a specialized stenographer quickly copied what Roland said word for word with a magic quill on a yellowish but clean parchment scroll.

"But I don't plan to say too much about this aspect. Anyone who is interested can go to the library that will be open to everyone tomorrow to check it out. Of course, people who belong to the Golden Dynasty and believe in the Golden Tree can borrow books for free. Foreign countries Personnel must pay the borrowing fee in accordance with the regulations before they can borrow the books. They are not allowed to take them out of Stonewell City, and the books must be returned within the specified time. Every book belonging to the Golden Dynasty is marked by the golden tree we believe in. Once books are found to have been taken out of the city, the law enforcers will let you know the severe penalties for violating the rules I have spoken of."

What Roland said made the envoys from various countries express disdain. It was just a few books, and they were not worthy of such a price reduction for noble nobles like them.

The dwarves of Stone Heart Castle solemnly recorded what Roland said. The elves from the Songyue Dynasty and the Rift Valley Alliance also nodded. Only some of the human country's envoys did not pay attention.

Prince Noel of the Holy Empire of France and Prince Philip of the Charles Empire did not show disdain like the envoys from the neighboring countries. Instead, they told the people behind them with serious expressions not to cause trouble and violate the rules set by Roland. .

There is no other reason, because both Prince Noel and Prince Philip know that the strength of the Golden Dynasty is elusive.

To put it simply, they were hurt by being beaten by the Golden Dynasty, and they knew it hurt.

The most perfunctory among these envoys were the members of the Arcane Council. These self-esteemed mages were even thinking about what kind of magic they could use to hide the books, and then take them out of the city without anyone noticing and return to the city. The Offensive Council later took it out to make fun of Roland in public.

The arrogant mages are very accustomed to snatching books containing knowledge or inheritance from other people's hands and putting them into the Library of All Realms of the Arcane Council, euphemistically saying that they are keeping books for people who are not smart.

A book is not expensive, and mages can afford it if they want to buy it. However, they feel superior to others and simply look down on those who rob books from them, deriding them as inferior creatures.

Even powerful countries like the Holy Empire of France and the Charles Empire had encountered similar incidents, but in the end they settled on nothing, and the out-of-print single books were not returned.

There was no way, who made most of the members of the Austrian and French Parliament come from the descendants of nobles from these two countries, and there were all kinds of delays.The executors responsible for these cases felt that it was just a few books and there was no need to fall out with the Offician Council, so the Offician Council's arrogance became more and more arrogant.

Roland paused and said: "About me, I think the intelligence agencies behind your country have already ruined my life? After all, 35 years ago, I was framed by a male noble and my former wife, and I was framed in public. The execution can be found out with a little research.”

"So I think you can understand my policy of governing the country, whether it is from my past life deeds or the atmosphere you feel in Stonewell City recently."

"Yes, it's still the same as before. I hate slavery. I hate that some people think that they are inherently superior and should enjoy the service of others. I hate to see someone trample on other people's dignity, personality and life. This world is indeed unfair. , I also admit that this is a problem that cannot be completely eradicated. But this is not a justification for those who think they are superior to wantonly insult others."

Roland paused deliberately for a moment, smiled and looked at the gradually unsuppressed discussion in the audience, and then said loudly: "Yes, what you discussed is correct. The people I hate are those of you who claim to be 'protectors' They are 'invaders', but in fact the 'invaders' who trample on others are you, the royal families and nobles of human countries."

Except for the dwarves and elves, the envoys from other human countries were in an uproar. Some stood up in excitement and said unpleasant words, while others frowned and thought about Roland's intention in saying this.

Roland no longer looked at the noisy envoys from various countries on the podium, but looked up at the golden tree with dazzling light in the sky, as if he was looking through it at the people who believed in the golden tree.

Just when Roland was about to continue speaking, 30 homeless knights guarding the podium simultaneously lowered their sword tips and struck the ground. The sound resonated with the rock-like ground, drowning out the voices of the envoys from various countries, causing them to subconsciously It got quiet.

At this time, Roland happened to speak, and his voice rang in everyone's ears. As long as he was within the scope of the golden tree, he could hear it: "Everyone who believes in the golden tree! From today on, the 'Golden Dynasty' ' will be officially renamed the 'Golden Federation'! And I am its first governor! From this moment on, you will no longer be subject to any discrimination!! And you no longer have to worry that your talents will be buried!! There is no need to Frowning for tomorrow’s livelihood!!”

"Together, I will build a country that you have never seen before. It will become powerful and bloody!! And each of you will become a part of this country. As long as you have strength, knowledge or other skills, you will Find your place in the Golden Commonwealth."

"Your children do not have to be born to become servants of the nobles. They will enjoy free education and learning until they are 16 years old and can decide whether they want to continue studying. The learning here does not refer to the esoteric and difficult knowledge in books. But teach them skills that can make a living. At the end of the day, you can also let them join the army of the Golden Federation and make them become loyal soldiers."

"When your body is attacked by a disease, all of you will enjoy the best medical treatment at a very low price. Of course, I think all of you who have a loyal belief in the Golden Tree have not experienced the feeling of having a fever and illness for a long time, right? "

When this sentence appeared in the ears of some people in the city, they laughed subconsciously.Because they or their relatives had all suffered from illness and disability, they could only smile at what Roland said.

"But in the same way, the Golden Federation does not give these generous benefits selflessly. She also needs you to make your own contribution to her. I will need you to do something when she is in danger."

"Of course, I also know that some of you still don't understand the meaning of what I said. It doesn't matter, maybe as time goes by you will understand what kind of changes I have brought to you, maybe until You won't be able to understand even if you die. Now, you just need to remember what I say next. That is-"

Suddenly, a strong growl came from deep in Roland's throat.He raised his head as if swearing to the entire continent that he would regain dignity and glory for this land.

"On this continent, human kings force you to kneel down with hereditary authority and false reputation, but the Golden Federation wants you to stand up and become a proud member of the Golden Federation citizens."

Roland spoke rapidly and his voice kept getting louder.His words were full of power, like thunder that shook the earth. The sun fell on his head, and the surrounding wind became fresher and cooler.

"However, please remember, citizens. The Golden Federation also does not welcome cheating, slippery, lazy people. Once discovered, his citizenship rights will be immediately deprived of him, a lifelong stigma will be etched on his face and he will be expelled from the country. He will be banned forever. Take a step into the golden dynasty.”

"Long live the Golden Tree!!!! Long live Archon Roland!!!!"

The people from the border area celebrated loudly from the bottom of their hearts, followed by the local residents who had been blessed by the golden tree.

Maybe it was a half-elf who had been disfigured but was healed by the blessing of dewdrops, maybe it was a child whose family was destroyed by the undead disaster and holding a blue sword, or maybe it was an old businessman with a carriage. He brought one after another sallow and skinny people from the carriage to his shop to provide them with hot porridge, or a proud tauren warrior who patrolled the streets and was no longer looked at with discrimination.

In fact, when these people heard this sentence, their eyes were slightly confused, but something seemed to be rolling and stirring in their chests. They wanted to say something but didn't know how to express the feelings in their hearts.

So they only need to use the most primitive way to vent their surging emotions.

One, two, thousands of sounds, from sparse to roaring throughout the city, the cheers made the earth shake and the sky roar.

Stonewell City, Leiden City, Pring City, Morn City, all the local people cheered for Roland together with those summoned from the border area.

Those merchants, travelers and mercenaries who had never been to the Golden Federation territory were a little dumbfounded.However, when they looked at the people around them who seemed to be caught up in some kind of fanaticism, they did not feel terror. Instead, they felt inexplicably envious, and they also had indescribable emotions in their hearts that they wanted to express.

An orc with the head of a tiger and the body of a tiger was restless. He stretched out the tiger claw in his palm and retracted it emotionally.He saw the howling and excited minotaurs on the street, approached them, and asked a hoarse minotaur who was shouting: "Why are you so excited? This human named 'Roland' deserves this. Love?"

The tauren warrior replied in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I see you are an orc too, haven't you noticed that the residents in this city will not fear or discriminate against us because of our faces, and will sincerely do so?" Smile at us and say thank you?”

The tiger-headed man nodded.

The Tauren warrior puffed up his chest proudly: "So this is enough! This is enough for our Bloodhoof clan warriors to defend Lord Roland's country with our lives!"

The tiger-headed man clenched his hand. He was not angry that the orc in front of him was willing to obey the orders of a human, but he was confused, a kind of confusion with envy.

Then the tauren warrior looked at the tiger-headed man and said: "Tiger-headed orcs are still quite rare to see. You are dressed like a mercenary. Brother, you have also heard of the Golden Dynasty...ah, just now The name has been changed to the Golden Federation. Are you planning to come here to find a job because it doesn’t discriminate against orcs?”

The tiger-headed man still nodded.

The tauren stretched out his furry hand and pointed in a direction: "There is an association for mercenaries like you over there. Once you enter, you can join the Golden King... Federation by completing the physical and psychological assessments!"

Then the tauren smiled honestly: "I think with your tiger-headed orc's physique and strength, you can definitely complete the physical test. I'll leave it to you, brother, to ask for your own blessings for the psychological test."

The tiger-headed man expressed his gratitude to it, bypassed the cheering humans, orcs, and dwarves on the street. Feeling the emotions in his heart, the pace gradually accelerated, and finally ran at a trot to the place pointed by the tauren warrior.

On the podium, Roland looked down at the envoys from various countries with different expressions below, opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Messengers from human countries, do you hear these cheers?"

"What I said will spread throughout the Salid continent as you leave, letting more people who are looked down upon by you know that there is still a country on this continent that does not care whether their origins are noble or not, but has People with abilities can get a place to display their talents here!!!!"

On the towering city wall of Stonewell City, Greg said to Malkit beside him: "Strength is king in the border area, and Roland has not changed this. But the country he created seems that 'power' does not only refer to force. One side is so powerful that one can defeat ten thousand. The exchanges with Roland these days also let me know that those scholars who seem to be weak actually also possess extraordinary energy."

Malkit's golden eyes looked at Roland, who was a small dot in the distance. She just said lightly to Greg's question: "The fact that you can change your previous views means that the golden blood flowing in you is genuine and not real. It is hopeless. As long as the Golden Tree exists, what Roland wants to turn his country into is his business. He promised me that there will be a place for me in the new Golden Dynasty, and this is enough. , I just need to quietly guard this golden tree that is willing to respond to me. Or do you have any different views?"

Greg showed a gentle expression and said: "Of course I am the same as you. Maybe it is not my identity as a descendant of the damn Golden Dynasty that forces me to pursue power. I should have a different life. As for my soldiers, they will not treat Roland There are no objections to the decision. Because the golden tree they believe in is like this, they naturally do so. Not to mention the residents of the junction area who regard the golden tree as their spiritual support."

Malkit nodded silently.

Then Greg's gentle expression faded, and he once again became like the crazy king in the border area: "But our people in the border area will not betray Roland, and these locals may not. Although Roland's ideal sounds very beautiful, it still needs to be Let’s go help him deal with some walleyes.”

[Ominous Omen Demon] Malkit also showed a cruel smile: "Don't worry, Greg. I will have a team of knights who specialize in handling these matters coming soon."

Chapter 135: Conditions for becoming allies

"The Golden Federation welcomes all oppressed people to settle here."

Roland's speech ended with the diplomatic missions from various countries looking solemn or disdainful.

The staff responsible for recording this founding ceremony recorded all the words Roland said this time and distributed them to the bards who obeyed the Golden Federation, so that they could spread the content of this speech to various countries in the Salid continent. .

In front of the royal hall, there are already waiters cleaning up the chairs and the garbage generated on the ground.Of course, not all national missions left the venue.

Kahn Hammer greeted Roland who came down from the podium, his face full of joy.

"Hey, my friend! You see the livid faces of those human countries being scolded by you, haha, it really makes me happy." Kahn Hammer came to Roland's side dancing and hugged Roland hard. .

Roland also bent down and hugged back. He said, "You are wrong, Kahn. I didn't scold them, I just told them the truth."

Kahn Hammer let go of Roland, he straightened the decorations on his clothes that were messy due to the hug, and then said with a serious expression: "But you have offended most of the countries on the Sarid continent. Are you prepared to make things difficult for them in the future?"

Roland nodded: "Of course, these countries are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. I will let them know the consequences of daring to provoke the Golden Federation."

Kahn Hammer showed a reassuring expression. He patted Roland on the back and said, "Then I'll be relieved, man."

Then the dwarf prince showed a disgusting expression. He turned his head and pinched his nose and said with a bad attitude: "What kind of wind brought you pointy-eared disappointments here? Didn't you see that I was talking to my friends? Or are you talking to me?" These pointy ears don’t even have a wink at all?”

Roland looked up, and his nose smelled something like a forest. Sure enough, it was Jerolul who came over with the elf envoy from the Songyue Dynasty.

When the elves with beautiful faces and good figures heard the rough voice of the dwarf prince, they immediately showed expressions as if they were seeing flies. Jerolul smiled and said: "You dwarves have really smart noses. You can't." Is it a dog?"

Upon hearing this, Karn Ironhammer became excited and began to exchange words with Gerolul. Kale Bloodstone dragged his brother back, and Horascus from the Elf Mission also asked Roland showed a helpless expression.

"Long time no see, Ms. Horascus. How do you feel about coming to Stonewell City this time?" Roland waved to Horascus as a greeting.

After hearing Roland's words, Horascus was slightly stunned: "Well... for humans, a month or two can indeed be called 'long no see'."

The long-lived species expressed his opinion on the short-lived species' concept of time, but before Horascus could continue, he was overtaken by a happy-looking Jerolul.

"The experience these days has been great! I have never experienced so many novel things in Stonewell City in all my life." Jie Luoluer said: "And I can feel that those things are not Stonewell City. The city's own, or the inheritance of the Golden Federation. They were all brought by you, Roland, right? Whether they are educational toys for brain use or various novel foods, they are all somewhat incompatible with Stonewell City. .So I can only think that you came up with these things yourself."

Roland was stunned for a moment, then nodded in recognition.

Then Jerolul's smile faded, and she said to Roland in a serious tone: "But are you prepared to face the hostility of most countries on the Salid continent? I know that you feel sorry for all those who have suffered injustice on this continent. Creatures cry out, but is it too impulsive to do so?”

She continued without waiting for Roland to answer: "There once was a king like you, but his kingdom was eventually destroyed. Do you know how it was destroyed?"

Jerolul's crystal eyes looked at Roland, and he could truly read the emotion called "worry" from his eyes.

Roland responded: "I think I can guess how this kingdom was destroyed. It was neither a natural disaster nor an external enemy. It was the internal disintegration of the kingdom, right?"

Jerolul looked in disbelief.

Roland continued: "And the king himself was killed by the people he protected, right? Under the slander and instigation of the nobles who should be loyal to him."

"Do you know this country?" Jerolul asked subconsciously.

Roland shook his head: "No, I don't know."

"Then you..." Before Jerolul could finish her words, Horascus, who was thinking of something behind, held her shoulders and stopped her.

Roland looked at this beautiful elf and whispered to her: "Because this is how I died 35 years ago. I was slandered by my trusted relatives and killed by the people I protected, full of anger and unwillingness."

Jerolul also reacted and said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't..."

Roland smiled and waved his hand: "No need to apologize, I understand, and I also appreciate your concern."

Then Roland cleared his throat and said: "But I also have a question to ask you. Will your Geyue Dynasty be as hostile to the Golden Federation as those human kingdoms? Or are you willing to cooperate with our Golden Federation?"

Jerolul shook her head: "No, the Songyue Dynasty does not intend to form an alliance with you, and certainly does not intend to be your enemy. We elves do not care about the affairs between you humans, and our attitude towards this has always been neutral. . Although the elves and humans once made an alliance in ancient times, the elves never participated in the conflicts among humans."

Roland nodded, and then said somewhat meaningfully: "Maybe the elves can't get away with it this time, compared to last time."

Jerolul can know the story of the former king who had the same intentions as Roland himself, which means that this king once asked the Songyue Dynasty for help, so Jerolul knew so clearly about the demise of that country.

The reason why Roland dared to speak out his plans at the founding ceremony was because the composition of the Golden Federation was different.

Whether it was the king or himself 35 years ago, the person he wanted to protect had not fundamentally changed his mind.Moreover, they all touched the interests of the aristocratic class, thus causing the disaster of killing.

But now within the Golden Federation, there is no so-called aristocracy.Perhaps the dignitaries summoned were once one of them, but as they are extremely devout to the golden tree, they will not oppose Roland's approach. On the contrary, they will support it without sparing any effort.

This is why Roland dares to do this. What he has to do now is to make the natives of Salid continent also believe in the golden tree, and then slowly change their minds.

After hearing Roland's words, Jie Luoluer showed a somewhat puzzled expression, and then shook her head: "I still think you are a bit too impulsive, Mr. Roland. I admit that the current strength of the Golden Federation is far greater than that of the destroyed country. It is strong and internally very stable. But what you have to face is the hostility of all the human countries ruled by emperors in the entire Salid continent. You still cannot bear this malice. Even if your country has two demigods. "

"I know what you mean, but those oppressed people may not be able to wait that long." Roland said: "There are conservative and unfair creatures somewhere in the Salid continent. For them, it is too late. Is justice still justice?”

Jerolul replied: "But seedlings that are too weak will die prematurely due to pulling the seedlings to encourage growth. I wish you good luck, Mr. Roland."

Then she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In the worst case scenario, you can come to the Geyue Dynasty incognito to get asylum and spend the rest of your life in peace. This is my personal promise to you, and it can be regarded as the gift you brought to me. A reward for the delicious food I’ve never had.”
