Chapter 042 Cult

A new viscount came to Ximu Town.

For many civilians in Ximu Town, this is not a very novel thing.six nine four nine three six one three five

It has been 200 years since the wheels of the ancient empire were smashed, and 200 years is enough time for human beings to replace the members of the entire society twice. The order and concepts of the old era have been smashed to pieces by human hands during these 200 years.

Since 200 years ago, the last emperor of the empire pushed the empire into the abyss with his own hands, and when riots broke out in the country's territory, the dignity of the kingship has been shaken.

And this bad trend has even been maintained for the next 15 years-after the fall of the empire, a great war broke out between the Revolutionary Army and the Tranquility Army. This war lasted for 15 years. The greed for power is better than rational fools proclaiming the emperor. Each of them is adding a little more cracks to the crown of imperial power. When the war is over and the country is truly unified, the reverence for imperial power will be rooted in the hearts of the people. The heart has also been completely broken.

Let everyone know about the continuous proclaiming and perishing of the emperor—even if it is a pig, as long as it wears a crown, as long as there is a large enough force willing to support it as the emperor, then it can still become the emperor .

The divine right of kings was shattered, the legitimacy of imperial power ceased to exist, and then the brilliance of the "Republic" really shined in the hearts of most people.

That is a new order.

The advantages brought by bloodlines were largely negated, and the new aristocrats who rose by relying on the nautical trade and slave trade began to interfere with the running of the country with wealth. This country was very equal—as long as there was money.

Rich people can buy territories for themselves, rich people can buy titles below Marquis for themselves, and rich people... can naturally become masters.

As for the Marquis and Duke?

If one day even this kind of title can be bought and sold, then this country will almost come to an end.

Therefore, a new viscount... There is really nothing surprising about it, this lord probably has stuffed a lot of "donations" to the government.

"However, what do you want this Sir to be like?"

In taverns, these are the favorite topics of conversation among those who gather to drink.Although they were not interested in the origin of this "Viscount George", as members of Ximu Town, they consciously considered what the Viscount's policy might be.

Yes, policy - a viscount who comes to a rural place like them will definitely become a leader.

"I don't think so. The Lord Viscount may be a bit out of his mind. How confused he must be to choose our place. He probably doesn't understand how bad the law and order here is."

"Yeah, it's too bad. Those cultists are pulling people everywhere, and there are even a lot of bad incidents... This is our mayor, that incompetent old man."

"My friends, it may be better to do it with another person, but it may also be worse."

"I heard that the viscount is still very young. He probably came from a rich family. His ability to handle affairs is still doubtful."

A guest raises his glass and drank it down after speaking.

"We'd better hope he's a sensible lord."

*

"Two hundred years ago, this country was not named 'Tranquility', which was the predecessor of a great and equal republic, a chaotic and dark vast empire."

"In the late period of imperial rule, the bureaucracy was corrupt, the people's livelihood was ruined, and the cruel ministers hijacked the emperor to deter the world. The foreign nationalities in the north and the foreign nations in the south were waiting for an opportunity. The Western revolutionary army secretly united with the foreign national forces to lure wolves into the house. The kingdom is eyeing..."

This is a lengthy prologue, but due to the good character inherited from a mage, Bai En's tolerance for books is much higher than his tolerance for humans.

This is a story - a legendary story of a hero named "William" and his best friend "Cromwell" overthrowing the decaying imperial machine and re-establishing a regime on this land.

Stories like this... are generally not to be believed in their entirety.

I took a last look at the last page of this book, and wrote the heroic epics written by the poets at that time for "William" and "Cromwell" on the parchment with a great sense of history, which is magnificent.

but--

"The leader William died of a natural disaster in the Battle of the Imperial Capital, and the surviving Commander Cromwell carried the wish of his best friend to revive the flag of the Republic..."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a little seeking psychology.

"Is it a boring power struggle, or is it really bad luck..."

It's not that he thinks that natural disasters can't kill people, but that a regime leader just died in a natural disaster... the possibility is really not high.In addition, all kinds of books try their best to beautify Cromwell and downplay the existence of William. When shaping Cromwell into a glorious saint who seems to have no shortcomings, William’s contribution is roughly ignored. The relationship between the two "close friends" has a little doubt.

So, he opened another book and found a page with a bookmark - during the Battle of the Imperial Capital, dense clusters of meteorites erupted all over the world. According to incomplete statistics, there were more than [-] meteorites of different sizes. The meteorite landed on the ground and almost smashed the surface of the earth.

In the "Meteor" event, the entrance to the world dropped by one-third in one day, and more than 6000 million people died at the moment the shock wave erupted.In the next month, more than 5000 million people died of serious injuries or infections from minor injuries, and almost two-thirds of the world's "human" lives died in this incident.

Oh—and those slaves who are not counted as "people". At that time, the Eastern Empire reopened the slave trade, with more than one million slaves in its territory, and many Western kingdoms were even more prevalent in the slave trade.These lives that are not counted as "human beings" have not yet been included in the statistics.

"This exaggerated situation..."

They can actually use "natural disasters" to record.

If the planet could really encounter such a natural disaster, either the gravity on the planet suddenly increased, breaking the balance of the star's gravity and crazily capturing meteorites outward, or the star directly broke into the meteorite belt.

Compared with this illusory possibility, Bai En, who has lived under the supernatural worldview since he was a child, has a more realistic guess - to give a sufficiently powerful mage enough time.

This idea is much better.

Closer to home, the record of this huge natural disaster does not look like a fake, so look at it this way...

"The leader who was crushed to death by the meteorite fell at the moment before the victory of the revolution. This is really unlucky."

Summarizing William's life with the word "unlucky", the mage stretched his waist and looked out the window of the carriage.

Chapter 043

There are three fires for a new official to take office... Although this new official does not pay much attention to people's livelihood in essence, he still has certain requirements for his "private property".

"We have to clean up the hygiene, this bad smell almost burns people's noses."

Bai En, who wandered around in his territory with a cane, was quite dissatisfied with the status quo.Even though this territory was just a possession he bought with 20 imperial currency, he still couldn't bear this terrible environment.

Yes, it sucks.

200 years of development sounds wonderful, but in fact it is just a bubble of a beautiful dream. The "star fall" incident 200 years ago was concentrated in developed cities, and nearly 90.00% of the senior talents above five were captured in the "star fall" Losing life, this has led to a very bad result - a fault in the inheritance of civilization.

200 years have passed, and their quality of life may be better now than it was 200 years ago. As for the substantial improvement... don't even think about it.

"But Lord Viscount, we still have a lot to do. You issued too many orders at one time, and the people can't react..."

"I know, we can prioritize things to do, right?"

"Yes, absolutely."

Rich nobles can always be flattered by many people. In a country where money worship is prevalent, Bai En can get a lot of convenience because of his wealth-these wealth comes from precious metals or precious stones from other worlds, of course , no matter how bad it is... With his mage skills, it is not difficult to become a master.

"Then, please tell me some things to do first. You also know the specific situation of Ximu Town. As far as your responsibilities are concerned, I suggest that your government orders should not exceed five."

Alger, this shrewd man has a good reason.

"Give the people time to accept your ideas, but they had better be gentle when it comes to their land and bread..."

His lord gave him the right to speak, otherwise a follower would not be able to advise his master in this way.

"I know what you're worried about, but don't be overly nervous."

Bai En smiled kindly, he also knew something about the people of this country - the people are very simple.

This country was originally obtained through a violent revolution. It can be said that the people of this country are shed with the blood of their ancestors, and they are full of enthusiasm for overthrowing "cruelty" and "authority".

Later, Bai En stood on the hill, looking at this small town that hadn't experienced strict laws for a long time, he naturally had his own thoughts in his heart.

He will take care of these people. After all, what he wants to do needs to have a certain influence in the local area, so a good nobleman's personality cannot be collapsed.

However, he will not forget his purpose.Many nobles were unwilling to take over this territory known for its mixed fish and dragons, but he was different. He just took a fancy to the characteristics of this territory.

I heard... Four months ago, someone here claimed to have obtained the "Oracle" in a dream, and then a religious organization called "Holy Crown" rose up.

Well, this is a very common religious method-establishing a religion always requires a variety of convincing reasons, whether others believe it or not, this is a necessary process.Moreover, in this era when the people's wisdom is not yet developed, it is undoubtedly a very good choice to confuse the people with excuses such as "the oracle in the dream".

But... this "Holy Crown"—

"I heard that there is a religious organization called 'Holy Crown' in Ximu Town recently?"

"Uh... Lord Viscount, there is indeed such an organization here, but it is not recognized by the church due to religious issues."

"Strange to hear the beliefs they preach?"

"Yes, you may not be able to imagine that there are such crazy people in the world, and their beliefs are also crazy - in their mouth there is a group of creatures called 'Nightmare', and the King of Nightmare is the supreme ruler. When the flame ignites, the Nightmare King will come to the world, turning the whole world into an eternal void, and in the void, all souls can be reborn, and everyone will be truly equal."

It is still a religion with great ideals, but all religions are like that - even if the world is destroyed, it must be beautified by adding a "new life". Only then will some people be willing to pursue that illusory future, so that believers will consciously take out gold coins.

Alger wisely told everything he knew, because he knew that his master was smarter than him.

"Sounds like a pretty absurd belief."

"That's not it. The flames are still burning. Think about it, the world is burning with flames all the time. How many times does their nightmare king have to come?"

According to Alger, the Nightmare King must have been exhausted to death.

However, he may not know that there is a bat named "Son of Green" hanging upside down on a big tree not far away.

"Obviously, this is probably a cult that wants to defraud believers of their wealth... But, Alger, how can you be so clear about their beliefs?"

"Master Viscount, that's because this cult once advertised me to me, and their members tried to lure me into the gang, but I rejected them. What I said just now was just because I felt that the beliefs they told me were like stories in a fairy tale book, It was easy to remember, so I wrote it down."

"Haha, then you are too unlucky."

It seems that... wanting to develop such an inexplicable religion in this world... is not an ordinary difficulty.

"The adults are joking."

"However, I'm a religious believer. You know, such a cult...it's easy to make people uncomfortable."

Bai En picked up the cross necklace on his chest, and got the cross directly from the Pope. There is absolutely no problem with the "baptism" process.

This mage from another world spent a total of 31 days on shaping his "background". During this time, he seriously fabricated a perfect personality for himself in terms of the era in which he was living. A new aristocrat with money and culture, and a devout church believer.

Acting issues, this is never something to worry about.

"That's it, Alger, make the rectification of law and order the top priority, and start to update and train the guards in the territory from now on. Anyway, isn't this place famous for its disorderly law and order? Then let those hooligans who like to cause trouble become actual combat targets for the guards." .”

"And the most important thing is that I don't want to see something like a cult appear in my territory. It is not only plundering wealth, but also destroying people's hearts. Therefore, a new supervision system is established. I will tell you the details later, and now I What I want to say is my goal - we need to find all the cultists hiding in the territory, and then I will personally judge them."

- talk about life.

Chapter 044

Everyone stood on the city wall, holding spears tightly in their hands, and their pupils were full of puzzlement and fear.

This is the western part of the Tranquility Republic, and the endless wasteland is an unchanging scene for a long time.

200 years ago, this place was once the rise of the infamous revolutionary army in history. Those tenacious mobs like bedbugs took root and grew on this land relying on the limited supplies provided by the merchants, and once became an empire. serious heart trouble.

But this is all in the past tense. Now, this is the border of the empire, and a large number of troops are stationed here, not only to defend against those brainless dangerous species, but also to defend against the restless forces that may exist in foreign countries.

However, they now have one more enemy.

The sound of steel colliding came, and the terrifying war horses like demon spirits came stepping on the dry and cracked earth. Under the hooves of the horses, the dry earthy yellow earth was gradually covered with a new layer of clothes - frost flowers.

In the air, the temperature plummeted.

The general guarding the city raised his head. This famous general who had repelled dozens of waves of dangerous siege looked at the scenery in front of him, and the confidence in his heart was reduced to ashes bit by bit.

People's breathing became more and more rapid, and the body also reacted instinctively to the sudden drop in ambient temperature.

Presented in front of their eyes - is a "sea".

Black armor is worn on the body, and the war horse under the crotch is also fully armed.There is obviously a huge gap between their aesthetics and the aesthetics of the native inhabitants of the world—these armors made of unknown metals are extremely hideous, and when they are worn on their bodies, they look like living, dry undead.

They formed a black sea.

These cavalrymen who came out of the cold wind were silent, but the whole earth changed astonishingly under the feet of the horses.In the sky, the scorching sun that should have been shining high was also obscured by the slowly emerging dark clouds. The clear sky was no longer bright, and a gray color weighed on people's hearts.

—The snowflakes began to fall.

'what is this……'

The general stared blankly at the army of destruction, and his keen intuition for war made him understand that this would be a battle without any suspense.

But even so, these terrified emotions can only be suppressed in the bottom of my heart.He is a general, everyone can panic, but he alone can't, because he is the soul of the entire army.

However, this kind of opponent...

'Where did it come from? '

He stretched out his hand, the hard armor was extremely cold at the moment, and he even felt that his joints were a little stiff.

Witnessing a snowflake falling into the palm, but it was not melted into water under the effect of low temperature.

The climate...was changed.

A monster that completely changed the climate just by marching?
