Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Bruno habitually wanted to turn back, but... this was the last page.

Although there are still many vague words in the middle of the diary, those are no longer important.

Because... with these scattered paragraphs, Bruno has been able to connect what he knows with the contents of this diary.

And this also explains why the Idar people discovered the remains of the Crusaders near the Asset Basin, and why the magic concentration in the western part of the empire dropped for no reason during this period!

There is only one reason, and that is...the church wants to create God!

Or……

Someone wants to become a god!

O'Brien!

Bruno was deeply impressed by the name O'Brien, because... this guy who was recorded in the diary as having stolen the divine corpse, and this other person who was the first pope of the Church of Light!

Bruno didn't believe that it was just the same name, because...everything was so logical.

Why does the church hate magic? Why go to so much trouble to find the magic wells scattered across the continent?

Because only by relying on the residual thoughts of the gods to restart these magic wells, so that the magic on this continent tends to dissipate, can the power of faith be condensed, and the gods can be born again!

And obviously...

What I did was absolutely right!

The existence of magic industrialization and the development of magic transmission, although it cannot be said that the entire eastern part of the empire has become full of magic again, it has at least allowed the magic in this land to flow again and start a new cycle.

Only magic technology can compete with the church, and only the development of magic industry can completely destroy the church's plan!

really……

As a time traveler, I am the true son of destiny!

As for the stolen divine corpse in the diary...if Bruno's prediction is correct, the divine corpse must be somewhere in the Augure Desert! !

"Krell!"

Thinking of this, Bruno shouted towards the door.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders..."

He had been waiting outside the door just now, not daring to leave even half a step. After all... this was the highest level of top secret since the establishment of the Idar Principality!

"Didn't you ask people to inquire about the information about the Augure Desert a long time ago? Why is there still no news until now?!"

Realizing that the Duke's face was slightly unhappy, Krell quickly said: "Reporting to the Duke, the Augure Desert is huge, and most of the land is uninhabited land and desert, so..."

"alright!"

Hearing this, Bruno couldn't help but waved his hand:

"This matter is extremely urgent. Find out what the church is hiding in the Augure Desert. If there are not enough manpower, transfer it from elsewhere. If the funds are not enough, increase the funds. Before the church shows its fangs, Idar CIA A report must be submitted to me!”

"clear!"

Seeing Bruno's serious look, Krell quickly promised.

"In addition...Lack Frey has made great contributions this time. He is temporarily appointed as the director of the Overseas Territory Management Department of the Idar Government Affairs Office and will take up his duties after the Tower of Babel in Babylon is completed."

After saying that, Bruno waved his hand, and Krell carefully exited the study, leaving Bruno alone, sitting in his chair and meditating.

only……

What Bruno didn't expect was that,

New Year 539 is destined to not be a peaceful year.

The entry of the church made the original situation turbulent, and what Bruno learned on this day, these secrets about the Church of Light, were just an appetizer before the chaos began.

…

In the western part of the empire, on the south bank of the Chishui River, is Rune City.

A three-story building that is not too conspicuous is located in the prosperous and wealthy Xicheng District of Rune City.

Most of the residents living nearby hide in their homes and rely on strong burning fires to stay warm through the winter.

but……

The long, cold winter made the whole street seem a little empty, except for the ragged refugees huddled under the walls, struggling to spend every minute and every second.

As the situation in the interior of the empire became increasingly corrupt, even the nobles in the western part of the empire gathered many strong refugees during this period.

But at this moment, they were already skinny and shivering in thin short clothes.

Their faces were blue and purple, and they relied almost entirely on their own survival instincts to get through this cold winter.

indeed,

The nobles in the west are also accepting refugees, but... not all lords are like Bruno, Duke of Idar, who can dig out the savings of his family for generations and relieve the refugees through work-for-relief methods.

On the street, several soldiers from Rune City were walking slowly pushing a simple cart. What was in the cart was a pot of extremely bland vegetable soup.

Although there was very little food distributed to the refugees, the vegetable soup was at least hot. It was steaming in the cold winter, which attracted the attention of the refugees present.

The eyes of the refugees revealed desire, but at the same time, their eyes also contained obvious fear.

They didn't dare to fight for it, because if they were not careful, they would be punched and kicked by the soldiers.

"This damn job!"

The leading soldier cursed with great dissatisfaction: "There is no money to be made, it is simply unlucky!"

"It's almost ready. We can go back after giving out this pot of vegetable soup." A younger soldier muttered: "It's just... this pot is not enough for them to share..."

"Why do you care so much?! These are not things that we people should worry about. We should finish the distribution as soon as possible and then go back. We will almost freeze to death..."

…

"Squeak..."

Listening to the noise outside the window, Mark Merton opened the window. The slightly old window coffin made a not-so-clear sound due to the extrusion and deformation of the wood.

Standing on the edge of the window sill, he looked at the streets and alleys of Rune City and thought about his hometown again.

If I were in the Principality of Idar at this time... what might I be doing?

Anyway...

Winter in the Principality of Idar will definitely not be as deserted as Rune City.

Under the rule of Master Bruno, the Idar people will never allow themselves to shrink in their rooms. Whether it is a construction site in winter or a market on the street, people and people can be seen in every corner of the Principality of Idar. Business travel.

You know, the Idar people all wear thick cotton clothes, which are enough to withstand the cold wind. Isn't it delicious to do some odd jobs to earn some money while the winter is relaxing?

At this moment... the Principality of Idar, located in the eastern part of the mainland, is probably in full swing again, right?

Mark Merton came to the western part of the empire half a month ago. He was an envoy from the Principality of Idar, visiting the western part of the empire on behalf of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, to deliver the Duke's letter.

As a native of Idar, Mark Merton witnessed the great changes in the eastern part of the empire and heard about the prosperity in the western part of the empire countless times.

However……

When he actually came to this land in the west of the empire, he felt particularly disappointed.

Perhaps the nobles in this land are extremely wealthy, but... the living conditions of the people in this land are simply not comparable to those of the Idar people!

There are even times when Mark Merton feels resentful of the poor living conditions of the local people.

At this moment, he clearly realized that only the Stuart family... could give ordinary people a promising future!

only……

Resentment is resentment,

Mark Merton clearly knows his identity and his responsibilities. He is the envoy of the Principality of Idar and the mouthpiece of the Duke.

As for the living conditions of the people on this land... they cannot be changed by themselves.

and……

In just over half a month since I came to this land, the western part of the empire has undergone earth-shaking changes!

The western part of the empire...is independent!

Yes,

Independent!

This is definitely breaking news!

Even when Mark Merton first heard about it, he was completely confused!

The assassination of Duke Carter seemed to make the entire western part of the empire become jittery, and then... Duke Luen raised his voice, and the nobles in the western part of the empire gave full support.

then……

Reaching the Carter Highlands in the north and the Norman River Plain in the south, a new independent kingdom officially stood on the land in the western part of the continent.

And the name of this country is called Cecil Kingdom!

The kingdom is named after the Cecil Mountains that run across the central and western parts of the continent. The implication is that it hopes that the kingdom can be like the Cecil Mountains, persevering, fearless, unyielding, and... standing forever!

"Lord Mark Merton..."

The attendant gently opened the door and said, "His Majesty the King wants to see you."

"I see……"

Hearing this, Mark Merton nodded gently. He had been waiting for this moment... for a long time.

…

The lord's castle of the Bullard family has become the temporary palace of the Cecil royal family.

Luen City on the Chishui River became the capital of the Cecil Kingdom.

At this moment,

Cecil King Manqun Blood, the original Duke of Luen, is sitting in his family castle, waiting for the audience of the Idar envoy.

King Cecil Manquin Blood was actually somewhat unfamiliar with the principality located in the eastern part of the empire.

Of course, he has heard various rumors about the Principality of Idar, but after all, it is thousands of miles away from his own territory, and the words of the merchants are not entirely trustworthy, so...

Until now, Mankiw Blood's impression of the Principality of Idar still stayed in the past. In his view, it was a powerful aristocratic kingdom that could defeat the attacks of the Odin Empire with new weapons.

Then……

No more, that’s all.

As for other things, like why the Idar people were able to defeat the Odin Empire, and how powerful the new weapons in their hands are...

Mankiw Blood didn't know any of these questions.

only……

At this moment, in his hand was a letter from the Principality of Idar.

And this letter is a little bit special, because... it is a handwritten letter from Arnel Blood, the advisor of Master Idar!

His son has become the mage consultant of the Principality of Idar, which undoubtedly makes him a little surprised, no... very surprised.

It even made him have great doubts about the true strength of the Idar Principality!

Manquin Blood thought he knew very well how much his son weighed. An ordinary mage apprentice could actually become the mage consultant of the Principality of Idar, and he mentioned something shamelessly in the letter. The school of Idar…

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

But……

Leaving aside Arnell, there is one thing to say...another personal letter from Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, to some extent strengthened his determination to declare the independence of the west!

In fact, Mann Blood has been wary of the Church of Light from a long time ago.

This is not because the church is greedy, nor is it because the church preaches, but because... in Mankiw Blood's view, the Church of Light does not seem to be bright at all!

This is not a joke,

Don’t think that Bruno is the only one who would place people in the Church of Light!

In fact, the church in the entire western part of the empire can definitely be said to be leaking.

otherwise……

How could the Church of Light specifically dispatch personnel from the Inquisition to awaken the magic well deep in the Cecil Mountains with the fragments of the gods without disturbing the local church? !

Due to the constant vigilance against the church,

From the time when the magic power concentration first dropped, Mankiw Blood felt that this was related to the church.

The Church of Light is definitely planning something secretly, but...he can't tell what the deep secrets of the Church are.

after all……

Mankiw Blood did not have someone like Mike to lick the talent, nor did he have the opportunity to allow his men to infiltrate the Holy City, or even infiltrate the core institutions of the church.

so,

Bruno's letter was highly valued by the Duke of Lune, who is now King Cecil!

Especially when the church officially intervened in the internal affairs of the empire, this made his vigilance towards the church reach its peak!

and……

Duke Carter has been assassinated, so the next person to be assassinated...will he be himself? !

King Cecil was clearly aware of the coming threat, so... the nobles in the western part of the empire decided to stay together and directly kicked the Norman royal family away, relying on the population and land in the western part of the empire to support themselves!

And the reason why he summoned the envoy from the Idar Principality was also very simple. He wanted to... marry his daughter!

That’s right! Marry your daughter!

Political marriage is an extremely common bridge in this era. Mankiw Blood clearly knows that if he succeeds, the Blood family will become the most famous family on this continent.

But if he fails, then the Brad family may not be able to escape the fate of destruction.

so……

He wants to hedge his bets!

Although he feels that the Idar Principality located in the eastern part of the empire is somewhat unreliable and thinks that the Idar school of thought is very nonsense, it is undeniable that... the Idar Principality is definitely the absolute protagonist in the eastern part of the empire today!

He strives for independence in the western part of the empire, then marries his daughter to the Principality of Idar, then establishes a relationship with Prince Rez, and disperses the family branches to all parts of the continent...

All in all, Mankiw Blood will never allow the slightest problem with the inheritance of the Blood family.

and……

He needs an ally!

This directly caused Mark Merton to be confused when he met King Cecil.

He thought he was here to discuss business with King Cecil, such as weapons, grain, ore... these things can be sold!

This kind of trade can not only make money for the Principality of Idar, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net can also disrupt the situation of the empire.

after all……

The reason Anel sent that letter was just one of the purposes of reporting safety. The deeper purpose was to praise the power of Idar Principality's weapons and equipment and the abundance of supplies, thereby setting the tone for the subsequent trade.

But what the hell is it when people come up and say they want to marry their daughter? !

Is there any mistake?

To put it nicely, you are fighting for independence for the benefit of the nobility in the western part of the empire, but to put it bluntly, you are rebelling!

As a rebellious noble, you are not thinking about buying some weapons to equip the army. Instead, you have a soft spot for weddings and funerals. This...

This question is beyond the scope!

Mark Merton won’t answer either!

Although he is an envoy representing the Duke of Idar, before coming here, Mark Merton only thought about how to do business and how to stir up the muddy waters while striving for greater interests for the Duke of Idar!

As for what King Cecil said, it is obviously not his envoy who can make the decision!

but……

After being confused for a while, Mark Merton had another thought... His own Duke was still unmarried, so it would undoubtedly be an excellent choice to marry into a wealthy and well-known family like the Bullard family.

so……

"Dear His Majesty King Cecil, I wonder which princess you want to marry?"

"My little girl, Leah Blood."
