Summoning Total War

Second Age Era, January 1, 376.

At twelve o'clock in the morning.

The New Year's ceremony begins at noon and the entire process will last for an afternoon. Athenian citizens will hold a large-scale prayer ceremony under the guidance of the priests. The prayer ceremony was held in the central square, where the priests used special methods to make several marble sculptures. The specific effects were not clear to Murphy. After the prayers, the citizens are blessed by the high priest, followed by miracles and final rituals.

In the early days, everything had to be simplified because there simply weren't that many manpower and material resources.

Murphy's plan is to wait for others to automatically complete it in the future.

Murphy had almost nothing to do with the entire ceremony, and all religious arrangements were handled by the high priest. Moreover, even if he asked Murphy to arrange it, he didn't know what to do specifically. All he had to do was stand on the altar in the central square when the miracle came.

Murphy can bow to the goddess, but religion must bow to him.

This is the least he can tolerate.

………………

The reason why there is a dispute between divine power and royal power on earth is because the god who claims to be God does not exist at all.

Even if it exists, it cannot affect reality because of rules.

According to the records in the Old Testament, God’s most powerful power is only to enter the dreams of believers.

But in this world, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, does exist.

And he personally came to Murphy's side.

She should understand what it means to each get what he needs. She needs faith, and Murphy needs power.

The auxiliary system of "Total War" is Murphy's biggest reliance. As a god, especially a goddess of wisdom, she should not be stupid enough to compete with herself for worldly power now. An ignorant and cowardly person will only be afraid of those small possibilities and wish to have everything firmly in his hands at all times. This is a sign of incompetence and the worst possible solution.

Because it's simply impossible.

The real people in power should prepare enough chips for themselves before considering a comeback.

Would you not use a person just because he is better than yourself? Would you not cooperate with someone just because he might be your opponent in the future?

If that's really the case.

Then you will never be able to become a person in power, you can only hide in a corner and indulge in obscenity.

It is difficult to have absolute control in this world.

True governance is balance and restraint, and interests and bargaining chips are the best channels for control. Han Xin's talents are more than enough to be an emperor, but what will be his final outcome?

If you can understand.

Then the ways of the Power are already within you.

----------------------------------

Inexplicable fear is the best manifestation of incompetence and cowardice.

One p.m.

The heavy snow in winter has almost melted.

Warm sunshine fell on everyone, and the entire inner city of Athens maintained a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Citizens gathered quietly in the central square where they would perform final prayers under the guidance of priests. This is a request for the gift of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the blessing of the Olympian gods. It also marks the true formation of the theocracy of Athens!

This was the only ceremony Murphy attended.

When praying, Murphy must preside together with the high priest, which represents the harmony of divine power and royal power, and represents the cohesion of power.

It means that everyone in Athens will work together to make everything better!

Even an idiot knows the terrible consequences of fratricide. In such an era where everything has just begun to lay a foundation, if there is a conflict between the governor and the high priest, I am afraid that Athens will have no future! The centripetal force that Murphy spent all his efforts to condense may be destroyed in an instant!

In this unknown world, citizens need the blessing of the Olympus gods and a spiritual sustenance.

But what is more needed is the leadership of the Governor, a wise and powerful leader!

Now only when the fist is clenched can the blow be strong.

This is a very simple truth.

As for who will be the final winner in the future, let’s leave this question to the future.

If you don't even have this bit of self-confidence, there is no need to talk about the future.

How can you take responsibility if you are timid? ?

What's more, with the help of the "Total War" auxiliary system, who will have the last laugh in the future.

It's hard to say yet.

………………

On top of the central square.

The priests chanted ancient sacrificial texts, and the sound seemed to contain magical power, soothing everyone's minds.

Murphy stood at the front of the altar. Next to him was the high priest with a solemn face, followed by the chief priest of the god of war and the priest of love, Helen. The last positions are the generals promoted by Murphy.

This represents the current distribution of power throughout Athens.

As the sacrificial chant was chanted, a ray of golden light shone from the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

Everyone was bathed in the light.

Murphy looked around, then knelt down on one knee towards the statue of the goddess of wisdom Athena, and under his leadership, everyone slowly knelt down towards the statue of the goddess. Immediately, under the guidance of the high priest, the citizens of Athens began to pray, chanting in low voices the ancient sacrificial texts inherited from the age of the gods. In the solemn and solemn religious atmosphere, everyone's spirits began to condense, and traces of white light spots invisible to the naked eye also floated from everyone's bodies.

These white light spots condensed into threads and were then connected to the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, through the high priest.

The golden brilliance is even stronger!

Everyone felt a warm breath in the tranquility and peace, and some diseases hidden in their bodies also disappeared.

The prayer ends.

Murphy stood up slowly. In front of everyone, the high priest leaned over to signal to him, and then stood beside him silently.

This is another message to everyone, the citizens of Athens, the cornerstone and pillar of the territory.

tell them.

Murphy, who represents the royal power, bows to the Olympus gods, but the high priest who writes the religion must bow to him!

If you follow what China says.

This is the order of superiority and inferiority.

It also means that rules and systems have been formed.

The citizens cheered and praised Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and their wise and mighty lord.

The golden glow gradually dissipated.

The high priest's eyes as bright as stars fell on Murphy, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Gentle eyes stared at Murphy, who was standing on the altar and receiving cheers and salutes from the citizens. The high priest showed a slight hesitation in his expression. Immediately, she seemed to have made some kind of difficult decision. She folded her fingers and chanted a vague and profound spell in a low voice.

The golden light that gradually dissipated suddenly condensed, as if it was controlled by some kind of force.

These golden rays of light gathered in the sky above Murphy, and finally turned into a golden crown suspended above his head!

king!

king! !

king! ! !

The citizens under the altar let out bursts of exclamations!

I don't know who was the first to kneel down, but like a wave, the citizens of Athens knelt down towards Murphy one after another.

This is the will of the goddess!

They told themselves that the goddess was telling them that a king would be born in Athens!

………………

The crown condensed by golden light lasted less than a few seconds.

On the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, a white light invisible to the naked eye flashed, and the crown made of golden light dissipated.

And the high priest's beautiful face suddenly turned pale!

Her chest heaved violently as if she had been hit hard, and a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

He raised his hand and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth without leaving any trace.

The high priest looked at Murphy with extremely nostalgic eyes, and she smiled lightly, as gentle as before.

At this moment, this gentle woman turned out to be breathtakingly beautiful!

She turned around slowly.

With a hint of loneliness, loneliness and relief, I walked towards the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

She walked very slowly.

It’s as if he doesn’t want to finish this journey so quickly.

outside the central square.

Arturia stood on the roof and looked at everything happening in the square.

The central square was crowded with nearly eight thousand citizens, but she still found Murphy's location at a glance.

"They actually have their own god!" The girl murmured as she looked at the golden light falling on the statue.

A trace of blood inherited from the ancient elves told her that it was the power that truly belonged to the gods!

Rather than the faith condensed by ancestor worship in human city-states, that kind of energy can only be turned into light but has no effect. Beliefs are energy, but only gods can turn them into substantial power!

She had always been skeptical that the Athenians had their own gods.

But now it seems.

It's all true, they really do have their own gods!

When the golden light turned into a crown and floated above Murphy's head, a gleam of light suddenly burst out from the girl's face!

She pressed her long white fingers on the hilt of the [Oath-Sword of Victory] at her waist and murmured in a low voice: "Maybe it's okay now?"

Can we finally be freed?

No longer have to shoulder such a heavy mission?

When the sword is handed over to him, everything should be over, right? He is so good, as if he was born to be a leader! He should be able to do better than himself, right?

Perhaps, wait until this matter is finished.

Can you go and see your mother? Well, maybe I should go to the Forest in the Woods. I heard there are halflings there?

There should be lots and lots of delicious food, right?

My mother is a Moonwalker, so she shouldn't be in the Emerald Forest at this time, right?

Where to find her?

The girl thought so, feeling a little troubled in her heart, but a smile could not help but appear on her lips.
