The Sun King's Evidence

Ryan first stayed in Theresa's wizard tower for a day. The sorceress took advantage of the favorable weather in winter when she wanted to study magic. She lingered with Ryan for one night and then took the initiative to drive him away. Veronica was very free. The Witch of Gloria simply followed Ryan's activities, and naturally she was nourished and her face glowed red.

A few days before the Winter Veil Festival, Ryan launched the "Earl Goes to the Grassroots" activity. As the divinely chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, Ryan Macado personally came to Red Fish Village, visited the village elders, and walked around the village In the streets and alleys, we learned about the income and living conditions of serfs. After Ryan came here, the lives of serfs have undergone earth-shaking changes. At present, hunger and poverty are gradually moving away from this village. Seeing that everyone has surplus food in their homes, this makes The count praised him repeatedly.

Later, Earl Lane came to the home of the village elder in Red Fish Village, extended holiday blessings to him, sent him a gift of two fish, and cordially asked about the village elder's family situation: "Is it inconvenient to enter the city? Public security How is the situation? Is it expensive to see a doctor?”

Facing the count's cordial greetings, the village elder smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the count's good leadership. Now the roads are smooth, public security is guaranteed, medical treatment is convenient, and life is getting better and better."

After visiting the old man, the Count and his entourage visited the old man Yves' home. Yves is a physically disabled veteran who suffers from rheumatism and other diseases. There is no one around to take care of him. Faced with the gift given by the Count, Blessing, the veteran was moved to tears: "I am 58 years old this year. I see the changes in the entire village. The environment is getting better and better, and the life is getting more and more beautiful. These are all gifts from the earl."

"Are you eating well? Are you dressed warmly?" Opening the veteran's iron pot, Ryan found minced meat porridge stewed in the pot. The Earl felt very happy. Ryan kindly said that if he has any difficulties, he should report it to the knight. Veteran They all fought against evil with their lives, and they have made a lot of contributions to the stability, unity, and harmony of Britannia. The kingdom knights in each village should pay attention to understanding the needs of veterans and serving soldiers, and let them feel To receive care from the Lake Fairy and the spirit of chivalry, it is also necessary to strengthen the training of the soldiers so that they sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war.

After the visit, the Winter Veil Festival also arrived. Sulia officially gathered Lane's entire backyard in the name of his wife and held a turkey banquet. At the banquet, they discussed how to develop Lane's potential and reasonably allocate Lane's public time. The issue of who comes first and who comes last were discussed in depth and consensus was reached on many aspects.

Ryan himself was not allowed to attend the banquet, and he didn't know what the women talked about. Later, he learned from Orica, who was relatively loose-spoken, that Sulia and the others seemed to have signed an "agreement" together after many competitions that day. , the fairy in the lake also signed the agreement.

But Ryan didn't have time to pay attention to the banquet.

Because the Emperor has come, taking with him Lorgar, the Primarch of the Word Bearers.

On the day of the Winter Veil Festival, deep in the Chalon Forest, in an underground cave.

The four Emperor's Imperial Guards looked around with vigilance. Any sign of trouble would usher in their sharpest counterattack. Angron sat aside with a complex expression. He watched the Emperor's supreme power channeling Ryan's spirit and spirit. Will, purifying his former brother, murmured: "Father, I thought you would capture Petrabo first, so that I could chop his stinky face with my axe."

The Emperor first focused his attention on the straw hat Angron was wearing, and then continued to focus on transforming Lorgar: "If you want to capture Petrabo, even if I do it myself, I must be prepared to lose at least The preparation of three thousand forbidden troops is only 50% certain."

"That's Petrabo. The fortress he spent ten thousand years building is waiting for others to attack, but unfortunately no one will go." Angron shouted: "I knew even when I was at my craziest, Petra Beau and his fortress are untouchable.”

"There is no fortress that cannot be breached, and there is no trial that cannot wait. Lorgar will pay the price for what he has done." Clarkson, the Raven Guard Primarch with skin as pale as snow and hair as black as graphite, stood in the distance. , he was a little less taciturn than before. Looking at Angron, Clarkson said a few more words, and there was something deeper in his tone - if anything.

"If the trial is always late, it means it didn't come." Ryan purified Luo Jia. The strength of the demon-ascended primordial body was indeed not very good. At least he felt much more relaxed than before. He whispered while transmitting energy. : "At least, the trial is ten thousand years late, and even for many traitors, it will be even longer."

"The task of eradicating evil has been completed, only all enemies have been destroyed, their breaths have been wiped out, their souls and bodies have been cleared from the world, and all records of their past and existence have been lost in time. The culprits must be punished. From the beginning, true victory can only come when all the records and names of the enemy and the scrolls with their stories are destroyed." Clarkson said to Ryan: "From the Holy Code of Astarte, Kiri Written by Man.”

"Luojia did the same thing." The emperor spoke fluently. He looked at the Primarch of the Word Bearers lying on the stone slab, and there was no more expression on his cold face: "He is on a planet that worships the evil god. Growing up, he learned nothing but faith. He was taught from an early age that the meaning of life is faith, and it doesn’t matter what you believe in, but whether you are pious or not.”

"He just needs an object of faith. Before I arrived in his world, the object of his faith was the evil god. After I arrived in his world, the object of his faith was me. After I discovered this problem and finally stopped it, Afterwards, Luo Jia felt confused and realized his mistake, but deep in his soul he needed the core of faith to remain unchanged. After missing the object of faith, he was like a traveler in the desert, frantically looking for any water source. The thing named Luo Jia is filled with faith. Since you can’t believe in me, then go find a new faith.”

"He began to consult countless scriptures and scrolls, looking for the so-called true gods, the truth of the universe, and the nature of me, the creature named the Emperor. In this way, he arrived at the Eye of Terror and saw the four gods of Chaos. And embraced his new faith with an ecstatic attitude. He had lost his target before, so the Chaos God gave him one. Luojia was like a puppy who saw a Frisbee. He didn't care what the target was, he just needed it. Others gave him one, Chaos gave it to him, and he led the Word Bearers in giving all their loyalty."

"How pious I was before, I hate you now. Am I right? Luo Jia, my son?"

The purification was over. The Primarch of the Word Bearers, who had a bald head and ancient spells engraved on his body, seemed to have lost everything. He said with despair: "You can even transform me who has willingly embraced Chaos. The original appearance, father, the great God Emperor, you used your supreme power to take away everything from me. I finally found my destination, and you cruelly deprived me of my faith again. Even so, you still couldn't. Are you willing to admit that you are indeed God?"

"How long will you continue to hold on to that lie?" After hearing Luo Jia's words, the emperor's face showed a very subtle change, and the Lord of Humanity's displeasure was expressed through his tone: "I don't want to argue with you anymore. This question has no meaning anymore. Ten thousand years have passed, a big mistake has been made, and mankind is almost in danger of catastrophe."

"Because of this, human beings need faith. Human beings exist for faith. Father, what kind of rags have you and your empire become? The only thing that keeps your empire alive is what I brought to you. , Faith." But Luo Jia was pressing forward step by step, and the Primarch of the Word Bearers looked at his father, his creator, with a gaze that was so fanatical that it was almost crazy, and so pious that he had no self: "The ending of the Age of Apostasy proves For everything, there are two things: one, human beings need faith, and two, you are God."

"...I will change this situation." The Emperor was silent at first, and then continued: "In my own way."

"Your way? Yes, your way, because no one can oppose you, no one can fight you, who can stop you? The Inquisition? The Council of the High Lords of Terra? Or the Imperial Ecclesiarchy? No, none of them can stop you You, they rule your empire in the name of the God Emperor, and now that you are back, they have shot themselves in the foot, and you have finally become what you originally hated the most." Luo Jia spoke like a A kind priest, but his words were like sharp swords: "Look, a feast, Chaos, undead, greenskins, bugs, they are enjoying a gluttonous feast on the carrion of your empire, if it weren't for Your return has ignited the fire of hope, and the empire has long been doomed. Even so, you still firmly believe that you are not a god?"

"I am not a god, Luo Jia, this is the last time I will talk about this issue." The emperor was always cold and calm: "Stop your smart judgment and self-righteous cognition, isolate yourself from chaos, and embark on evolution and enlightenment. This is the ultimate direction of human evolution. I am not a god and never will be."

The three primarchs, Lion, Angron, and Clarkson, were sitting on a bench, drinking dwarf Bagman beer and listening to the conversation between the Emperor and Lorgar.

"Brother, would you like some sausage?" Ryan took out a plate.

"Give me some, oh, I like black pepper flavor." Angron nodded.

"Brother Clarkson?"

"Honey flavored."

"Here, this is the best raw honey."

The three original bodies sat together and ate and drank. Compared to people like Guilliman who like to think all day long, Angron and Clarkson were not people who struggled with this problem, and for Ryan , the Emperor is his father, that's all, he doesn't care whether the Emperor is a god or not, as the original body of the Gray Knight, all he has to do is fight against evil in the name of the Emperor.

On the other side, the debate between Luojia and the Emperor continued.

"So you think your imperial truth can defeat Chaos? Do you think the truth of Chaos is that simple? Chaos comes from subspace, and the composition of subspace is the sum of all the emotions of all living things in the entire universe. The more you fight against it, The more you realize that you are actually fighting against yourself, why do I embrace Chaos, because Chaos cannot be eliminated, never can. Do you know that you and your empire's truth almost led to the birth of the fifth god of Chaos?" Luo Jia's face His expression is very complicated. On the one hand, it is the emptiness of waking up, and on the other hand, it is the despair of shattered hope: "What is the essence of God? It is the sum of all biological consciousnesses and ultimately forms self-awareness, and you, father, you The projection in the subspace is a carrier strengthened by the beliefs of all living beings. You may not admit it, but certain things have changed in the ten thousand years since you sat on the Golden Throne. I fell because I accepted that you are not a god. point of view, but my decades of investigation are completely contrary to what you have instilled in me.”

"You are God, my father. The God I believed in told me that he was not God and I found out that he was God. So contradictory, so divided, you tore me in two, you drove me crazy! In just one sentence, you Overthrown everything I had!"

"Do you know how painful it is to force a person to repeatedly deny his faith?! But you did this to me twice! You forced a person who has believed in gods since childhood Turn to you! Then force your most loyal believers to give up their faith! I was forced to kneel in front of you and admit my mistake." At the end of the sentence, Luo Jia's expression was almost crazy, and he said hoarsely: "In After I was forced to accept the view that you are not God, I discovered through countless signs that you are indeed God, but I have accepted the view that you are not God. I almost went crazy! I am not your toy. Instead of continuing to endure it Your lies, I might as well embrace chaos, at least they are willing to accept faith!”

"So I admit that some of my handling methods during the Great Crusade were wrong. I thought that the spread of imperial truth would keep mankind away from corruption, but I did not realize that the effect of forcible implementation was counterproductive because it could not provide spiritual support. Compared with the use of reason and science to educate mankind, religious fanaticism can unite the masses more easily." The emperor nodded this time to agree with Luojia's point of view: "We need some changes, some subtle changes."

"I'm glad that we can reach an agreement, father. If you had realized this problem earlier, I would not have betrayed you at all." Luo Jia was still angry. He felt an emptiness from body to spirit, and he subconsciously wanted to catch it. The last life-saving straw: "You won't spend so much effort to catch me and transform me. Tell me, father? What do you want me to do for you? You need me, right? Right?"

"I need a new Book of Sacred Scriptures, rewritten sentences, more beautiful illustrations and more enlightening stories. I need someone to help me manage and reform the national religion." The emperor said to Luo Jia: "You are An important piece of the puzzle in my plan.”

"Huh~" Luo Jia let out a sigh of relief after hearing the emperor's words. This is what he wants, to be needed by his own god. The thing that supports the thing named Luo Jia is composed of both faith and being needed.

"Give me some time to think, father, I don't know which one I want, the Book of Chaos Lorgar or the Book of Holy Words. You want a demon prince and dark apostle (Chaos Devotee) to be in charge of the state religion for you. Primarch? This is the third time you want to destroy my faith like this. I know that after being transformed by you, I can't go back to Chaos, but I need some time." Luo Jia held it with his fingers in pain My own scalp: "You're always so relaxed."

"Okay, you can stay here with Ryan between the time I go to Lustria and the time I come back, and then we will return to Terra together." The Emperor closed his eyes and fell into a brief silence, his thoughts He seemed to be remembering something, and no one knew what the Lord of Humanity was thinking.

"Lane." After the brief silence ended, the Emperor turned to Lion and said, "Bring your wife to Angron's forest hut."

"Suliya Kumani Antri Dwin Ford is my canonized imperial princess, and I want to see her."

"good!"
