After Becoming The Tyrant

When the witch leader came to Mezl Castle, he came with gratitude, and when he left, his gratitude had turned into awe.

She found a power she had never seen before in many people in Legrand, such as the scholar who swore to take down the sun, such as the theologians who argued in the tavern.For the first time, the descendants of the ancient snake of the extreme north saw something more powerful than the ancient snake of the world longed for in countless dreams.

Although she still doesn't know what it is.

After returning to Legrand No. [-] Institute of Pathology, the witch leader who was riding a broom showed a happy smile in front of his clansmen who were looking at him nervously.

"Your Majesty is willing to accept us as Legrand's subjects!"

She held up the king's handwritten letter and said loudly.

Pretending to be calm these days, the witches who couldn't hide their nervousness cheered.

While the witches were cheering, someone was in deep disappointment and anger.

That is Bishop Anil and the theologians around him.

………………

No matter how the city wall made of paper and grass is built, it will eventually collapse.

Although Bishop Anil and the others had long been disappointed with the Holy Court, the facts always made them more sad.

"Holy Lord, what are these for?"

An old theologian moaned in despair in the royal archives that the king specially opened for them. Most of the theologians who left the holy city and came to Legrand were more or less skeptical, but the truth was so nakedly laid out. When they were in front of them, the pain caused by the collapse of the ancient beliefs was still unacceptable.

"What else is real? What else is false?"

His sad and angry question echoed in vain, and the expressions of the theologians gathered here were not very good, and the atmosphere was dead silent.

Together with them are a group of Legrand's most outstanding historians.This is probably a somewhat strange joint work, and their purpose is to test the Pope's system.Bishop Anil didn't know the king...or how long the Rose family had been preparing for this day. The historian who came to assist them was surprisingly familiar with the history of the Holy Court.

This is not something that can be done in one generation.

Countless historical materials have been carefully preserved, and many historians have repeatedly studied it. If it were not for the constant attention of the monarchs of the Qiangwei family from generation to generation, it would be difficult to achieve this level.

This gives theologians the feeling that Legrand has been preparing for today all along.

In the end, it accumulates steadily.

The concept of "the pope has absolute power" is unshakable in the hearts of saints. The universal supreme power of the pope is one of the most basic and oldest beliefs of believers.

But now everything is falling apart.

"The Decrees of Lucado was promulgated in 677 AD, and the compilers were Cassido, Andem, and Dieter...they were canon jurists at that time." Bishop Anil officially compiled the first volume The decree that came out was placed on the table, the faces of the theologians were ashen, and the historians looked calm.

"The papal precedents it cites are all fictitious. In fact, this is a forged decree."

Lord Wally, Head of the Royal Historical Academy, said calmly.

He was an elderly man with silver hair and blue eyes, wearing a crimson double-breasted coat with a dark gold medal pinned to his chest.The medal is somewhat similar to the rose badge, but it is different. The relief on the medal is a straight and drooping sword, and roses are coiled around the sword.

The historians behind Earl Wally pushed the doubts and evidence that they reasonably sorted out during this period into the middle of the long case.

""Tiante Decree Collection", the Holy See Academy integrated and issued it in 1113."

"70.00% fake."

"The Cattani Letter to the Pope..."

"A neat deception, unfortunately, it's also fake."

……

"My dear gentlemen."

Earl Wally stood up, and he looked around the people around the long case. His voice was deep and powerful in this vast archive.

"What constitutes the throne of the noble Holy Father? As you and I have seen, it is countless elaborate lies. But the truth is true, and the best lie is just a lie after all. It is our deep sin to make all this public. Are they guilty, or are they, who will commit these deceptions in the name of the eternal Holy Lord?"

Silent.

The theologians looked at the scroll in front of them in silence.

"I believe that gentlemen will make the choice that true believers should make."

The Earl of Wally bowed deeply to the theologians, and then got up and left with the Royal Academy of History, leaving room for this group of theologians whose last trace of trust in the Holy Court had completely collapsed.

Walking into the courtyard, Earl Wally looked up.

The sun is shining.

This is near the end of spring.

Midsummer is coming, and the sun will be burning like a fire.

………………

The king walks among rows of tall bookshelves.

This is the Royal Library, which is housed in the School of History of the Royal Academy.If theologians are lucky enough to ascend to its upper floors, they will find that they are right.

Legrand's historians' familiarity with the history of the Holy Court did not come out of thin air.

In the Royal Academy, there are many historians. They stepped here when they were young, and they stayed here from youth until they were gray-haired and faltering.Some of them spent their entire lives trying to verify the authenticity of a document hundreds of years ago, and some read countless boring and heavy historical materials in order to study the real reason behind a small battle between the holy court and heretics ...

They are unknown, and their figures are drowned in the vast sea of ​​historical materials.

In high society, they are called "fools who study useless science".

However, in the eyes of the king, they are also the best hunters and trackers - on another battlefield.

The Legrand Royal Academy of History has been established for a long time, almost on par with the history of the royal family.This obscure department has been doing one thing for so many years, that is, like a hound, following the footsteps of the Holy Court in the fog of history.In this battlefield, they, like the jurists and theologians of the Holy Court Academy, are extremely patient hunters.

Legrand has been preparing for today's counterattack for too long.

The Qiangwei family didn't know where Legrand would start the first chapter of the rebellion in the future, so they chose the most stupid and stubborn method.

——They kept all the history they knew, and collected information about the enemy like greedy spiders.

On this battlefield, all gray-haired and unknown scholars are brave knights.

"Good day, Your Majesty."

Earl Wally found the king in front of the bookshelf labeled "Materials on the Battle of Holy Spirit Bay in the 1st century-2nd century". He lowered his voice and saluted the king respectfully.

The king nodded slightly at him, and walked out of the library with him, and came to the study of Earl Nevori at the Royal Academy.

The Earl of Wally reported to the king the results of the research on the "House of the Pope".

"Forged decrees?" The king flipped through the report summarized by Earl Wally, and laughed sarcastically. "Antique dealers should be thankful that they don't have too much interest in counterfeiting antiquities."

"Perhaps the antique dealers are better at counterfeiting than they are, Your Majesty."

Lord Wally smiled.

He is more familiar with the king than others, because most of the manuscripts of the Qiangwei family history that the king read during his childhood enlightenment were compiled by him.The Duke of Buckingham had brought the king here when he was a child, and it was the Earl of Wally who was in charge of receiving the king.

He is also a member of the Rose family.

Unlike other members of the royal family, the Earl of Wally was weakened by a serious illness in his youth.Therefore, after he was knighted by Charles the Lion King, he never worked hard on a horse, and instead took root in the study of chronicles.If someone has a heart to conduct a detailed investigation on the members of the Legrand royal family, he will find that among the members of the Legrand royal family, almost every generation has someone who has become a historian.

Within the Qiangwei family, they are called——

Hanging sword.

They are the swords that the Qiangwei family hangs over their heads.

The lifespan of a mortal is so short, but the Qiangwei family, as a mortal, has such a long history to remember.They will stick to it from the end of the legendary era until the arrival of this thousand-year kingdom.Birth, old age, sickness and death, a hundred years is already a change of generations for mortals, and between life and death, memory and hatred are just forgotten.

However, in this world, everyone can forget, except the Qiangwei family.

If they forget too, who will wake up those alchemists who went to the fire?Who will pass on the wrath of mortals from generation to generation?

So there is the "Hanging Sword".

In every generation of the Qiangwei family, there will be people who quietly retreat from the political arena and hide in the shadows that no one can see.

Giving up glory, giving up fame and fortune, they became the thick and silent cornerstone of this family.

Hatred cannot be forgotten, heroes who died cannot be forgotten, fighting spirit and persistence cannot be forgotten.The younger generation of the Hanging Swordsmen are working to replace the older generation, recording the deeds of all the ancestors of the Qiangwei family, all the battles they have experienced, and all the sufferings they have endured, and become all children who have the blood of Rose. big story.

At this time, history became a seed, planted in childhood, and eventually grew into a towering giant tree.

Hanging swordsmen, in this way, they hang the shame and mission of the millennium on the head of the family.

Because of this, even after 1000 years, when mentioning the "War of God's Punishment" that caused the Legrand Empire to fall apart overnight, every Legrand monarch will have a haze in his eyes.Because of this, even after 1000 years, characters like Mad King Henry, William III, and the Duke of Buckingham will appear.

In front of the gods, mortals live like mayflies, living and dying.

But mortals who live and die in the morning and evening have defeated time.
