Start with Island Lord

The southern suburbs of Platinum City.

The underground secret room of St. Glendan Monastery.

The Golden Archbishop Eilerson stood in front of the small statue in the secret room and said to the invited participants:

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, this is the tomb of St. Glendan, a sacred place favored by Mother Nature."

"Here, gentlemen can speak freely. Except for you, the news in it will not be heard by more mortals."

The secret room is not big, 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, with 18 long stone benches, each of which has one or two people sitting on it.

All these people are wearing thick hooded cloaks and masks under the cloaks.

Both the cloaks and masks are magic items, which cover their true identities tightly.

Of course, such a cover naturally cannot conceal Rosen's investigation.

Therefore, he clearly saw that the more than 50 people who came to the meeting were all well-known nobles in Platinum City.

It can be said that most of the bigwigs who have the final say in Platinum City are here.

This is not only because of the connections of the Golden High Priest, but also because the actions of the little king are really unpopular and have greatly infringed the interests of the nobles of the kingdom.

A more important reason is that if the eldest princess who has taken refuge in Weilan is welcomed back to the kingdom to serve as the queen, the power of the royal family will be greatly weakened, and the nobles will usher in a truly good life.

As for the Duke of Weilan behind the queen?

The Duke of Weilan is indeed very strong and has a high reputation, but he is far away in Weilan. He has a lot of things to do in Weilan, so how can he have the energy to take care of Levender's affairs?

After various considerations, the nobles gave Eilerson this face and borrowed the secret room of the monastery to hold a secret meeting to change the king.

At this moment, Eilerson's identity is not the high priest, but a political broker, and he also serves as a part-time meeting host.

He said: "Mother Nature has sent down a clear oracle, confirming that there is no real king in the palace."

Immediately, a noble questioned.

"But everyone in the royal family has confirmed that Lars (the little king's name) is of royal blood, so why can't he be the real king?"

Ellerson had already thought of an explanation: "It's very simple, because everyone in the royal family was coerced. The coercer has extremely strong magic power and despicable means."

This reason is sufficient. The means of the frost messenger Lafeng are indeed secretive and powerful, which makes people feel afraid.

But soon someone else said.

"Then the eldest princess may also be coerced by Duke Weilan, and this is our Levender's internal affairs after all, and Duke Weilan should not interfere."

Ellerson refuted loudly.

"Veylan is far enough away from Levender, gentlemen!"

"Even if the Duke wants to intervene, he can't intervene much."

"Levender is still our Levender after all. Everyone present knows this, otherwise you wouldn't come to this meeting!"

Ellerson looked around at everyone: "We all know that Lars is not a qualified king. He is too young, too willful, and his shoulders are too slippery."

"The current international situation is very serious. The world has reached a very critical node. We can't spend too much time and energy playing games with children."

"Even if he is indeed the blood of the Shila royal family, he is not worthy of being king. The eldest princess who has a good relationship with Weilan and has four rings of magic power is an obvious best choice."

"As we all know, Weilan is about to rise, and Duke Weilan is a prestigious eight-ring magician. Being able to maintain a good relationship with Weilan will greatly benefit the development of our Levender."

What he said is indeed correct, and it also speaks out the secret thoughts in the hearts of various nobles.

But after all, it is a big deal to change the king. If it succeeds, it will be good. If it fails, everyone present will go to the guillotine.

The risk is very high. If there is a traitor or a traitor present, everyone may be finished.

So before starting, we must deeply unify our thoughts.

Someone said: "Lafengge is not a simple person. I heard some secret news that he used some very evil means to break through his magic power to a very terrifying level."

"His magic can easily take our lives."

Ellerson immediately said: "Lafengge is indeed very evil and very powerful, but Mother Nature will protect us!"

When saying this, the face of the golden-robed high priest showed great piety.

But his piety was immediately exchanged for a low laugh.

"Ellerson, the natural religion is just deceiving those ignorant civilians. You and I both know that there is no real God in the world."

"Yes, I met you at the Moonlight Bathing Beach last month. When you were fighting with the girl in your arms, you told me that the girl was really exciting."

"Yes, yes, this seems to violate the church's precepts, haha?"

"Ellerson, either you come up with a real way to deal with Lafengge, or there is no need to continue now."

Ellerson took a deep breath: "I sincerely atone for my sins to God, and time will prove my words."

He is already old, and it is refreshing to be happy with the girl, but if you think about it carefully, it is just that.

Compared with the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment of receiving divine revelation and receiving divine power rewards, the former is insignificant.

Of course, he also knew that these words alone could not explain the group of nobles in front of him who had no faith and only interests.

Fortunately, he was prepared: "In Moonlight Town, there is a group of powerful warriors, exorcists from the Glorious Empire."

"Because Lafenge attracted the terrible evil demon, of course, he also attracted the attention of the Glorious Queen."

"I know that the warriors of the Glorious Empire should not appear in Levender, but in an extraordinary moment, we can only take extraordinary measures."

"What we have to do is to release these warriors into Platinum City at the right time, let them rush into the palace, and kill Lafenge!"

"Believe me, this group of exorcists in the Glorious Empire are very powerful. There are 70 fourth-ring magic masters alone, and there is a powerful 7th-ring magician leading the way."

"As long as we can cooperate, they will definitely kill Lafenge!"

After he finished speaking, the nobles fell into silence.

After a long while, someone nodded: "It sounds a bit reliable now."

"Ellerson, you just said that Lafenge attracted the real evil demon? What does that mean?"

Ellerson actually didn't know much. He knew about this from the divine revelation, but he only knew a little and didn't know the details.

But it doesn't matter, because he can make up the details on the spot, anyway, this group of nobles can't rush into the palace to verify.

"They are a group of evil demons that devour mana and disturb the minds of mortals. It is precisely because of the disturbance of the evil demons that the Xila royal family has made nonsense for the bastard king."

"Ellerson, where did you know these things? Did God tell you again?"

Some people's voices were full of sarcasm, and they didn't believe the words of the golden priest at all.

Ellerson was also very guilty, because he was just making it up.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, which was the praise from God.

Following that, a faint golden light emerged from the void above his head, and then slowly flowed down, covering Ellerson's entire body.

At the same time, a magnificent will also emerged in this underground secret room.

Every noble present felt this clearly.

More than half of the nobles on the scene were mages, and they had basic common sense of magic.

As great nobles, they also had knowledge far beyond ordinary people, so they immediately discovered the extraordinaryness of the golden light.

This light was born out of thin air, without the slightest fluctuation of mana.

In other words, this was not directed and performed by Eilerson.

This will that appeared out of thin air was indeed magnificent, like a towering mountain lying in everyone's heart.

Enshrouded in golden light, Eilerson's voice rang out, and the originally slightly hoarse voice became sacred and solemn.

"Dear mortal bigwigs, you may have great power and wealth in the world, but in the realm of the soul, you are either dwarfs or clowns!"

"Mother Nature has always been paying attention to the changes in the world. The reason why she remained silent is because we are all her people."

"She is tolerant, kind, and far-sighted. She tolerates some disrespect from her people."

"But now, the most serious blasphemy has appeared, and such evil must be purified!"

The great nobles immediately talked about it, and everyone's voice was full of shock.

In their impression, Mother Nature rarely responds to mortals' prayers, and rarely shows miracles. Her interference in the world has gradually decreased, even to the point where it can be almost ignored.

Many nobles who have grown up in the new generation subconsciously think that Mother Nature is a dispensable existence.

But now, the incomprehensible miracle is right in front of us!

Someone shouted timidly: "Ellerson, I admit that your method is very clever, but don't play tricks anymore."

Ellerson looked over and said: "Master Fowler, your cloak and mask are very clever, which can easily deceive many people's eyes, but it can't deceive God."

The person who shouted obviously trembled, and it was obvious that Ellerson was right.

Someone else shouted: "You guessed it by luck. No one can see through the good things passed down by my family. Guess who I am?"

"You are Marquis Nobundo."

"Uh~"

Obviously, he got it right again.

Someone immediately asked: "Since God is omnipotent, then I would like to ask you, God's spokesperson, how many children do I have?"

Ellerson felt guilty about this question because he really didn't know, but soon, he got the answer.

"You have no children."

"Bullshit, I obviously have five children!"

Ellerson was not a waste, he was very smart, and immediately sneered back.

"Go back and check it out, Count Bamut, your children don't look like you at first glance."

This immediately caused a low laugh, and it was obvious that there had been speculation about Count Bamut's son.

Count Bamut immediately found it difficult to accept: "Impossible! At least one or two must be mine! I'm very sure!"

Ellerson shrugged: "It's useless for you to tell me, you should go and ask your women."

"But I guess you are infertile, but your women want to inherit your property, so they use some clever methods."

"Shut up!"

Ellerson sighed and returned to the topic again.

"Gentlemen of Levender, remember that God is always with us and is silently protecting us."

"You, even me in the past, once forgot God and left Him behind, but now, when real evil appears in Levender, God stands up to protect us."

"This is an honor for mortals like us."

"Let us pray seriously."

After saying this, Ellerson clasped his hands in front of his chest, bowed his head and began to recite the prayer.

At the beginning, he was the only one reciting, and the nobles looked at each other, feeling at a loss.

They had not prayed seriously for a long time, and praying in this secret meeting that determined the future was a very strange thing.

But gradually, some people began to recite with Eilerson.

And once it started, a warm and calm power suddenly poured into their hearts.

This power made the painful heart calm, the confused heart firm, the jealous heart calm, and the angry heart relieved.

More and more people joined the prayer, and in the end, everyone began to pray.

A prayer ceremony lasted about ten minutes.

When the prayer ceremony ended, everyone still stood quietly in the same place, enjoying the comfort and pleasure of the peace of mind.

After a long time, finally a noble moved.

He took off the mask covering his face and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"God is with us indeed."

The second person took off his cloak: "In that case, let's do what God wants. It's never wrong to walk with God."

It was Marquis Nobundo.

The others also revealed their true identities.

Someone suggested: "We just covered our faces in front of God, which is disrespectful to God. Let's pray again with our true identities?"

Immediately someone echoed: "Ellerson, do it again."

Ellerson led the prayer again.

This time, the nobles' prayers seemed focused and pious.

Not far away, Finit Garden.

The Scarlet Assassins have surrendered and are rehearsing a new battle plan with the Imperial Shadow Guards in the large courtyard of the garden.

Rosen was watching from the side, and he

At the same time, he felt the situation in the underground secret room, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

"Since there are demons that bewitch people's hearts in this world, it seems reasonable for gods to appear to protect people's hearts."

The way of the Republic of Nahuat is very good, which makes people admire it very much and reflects the courage of mortals, but it seems not suitable for the Natural Alliance.

The church of the Natural Alliance has existed for thousands of years, and in its culture, natural gods occupy an extremely important and indispensable position.

Now, asking people to abandon natural gods and become saviors is equivalent to asking them to deny their own history.

This is not impossible, but it will definitely not be suitable for local conditions, and it will make Rosen spend a lot of extra effort, and there will definitely be many unpredictable chaos.

But starting from the Natural Church, using gods to protect people's hearts and using gods to achieve a united front can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, this method also has a problem, that is, there is no eternal true God in the world.

"I am also a mortal. I will die after my life. If I die, the true God will be gone. Then the people of this world will be miserable."

"What should I do?"

Rosen looked at the power of faith coming from the underground secret room and fell into deep thought.
