The Sun King's Evidence

Just when the high elves were holding a war council in the Phoenix Court, there was a peaceful scene in Britannia. The serfs were living a rare good life, social wealth was developing, productivity was improving, and the Eight Peaks Mountain With the dividends of the Great Expedition, social wealth and gold and silver circulated rapidly, towns and villages became more and more lively, and more workshops began to operate.

Today is the festival of the nature god Taal and the earth goddess Raya, known as the day of the summer solstice.

The history of Tal, the god of nature, is much older than the history of the empire. No one knows whether Tal became a god from a mortal or a god by faith, but there is no doubt that this god of nature and wilderness is the most influential god in the old world. One, he generally appears as a greasy old hunter covered in fur, unshaven and unshaven, who only uses a spear and a bow and arrow.

The appearance of Raya, the Mother Earth Goddess, is that of a kind, slightly fat middle-aged woman wearing many flowers and green leaves.

As mentioned before, Tal is the brother of the white wolf god Ulric. The belief in this god of nature in the old world has a history of at least three thousand years. Many studies have shown that Tal is a continuation of the "old religion". That is, the deity formed after the materialization and materialization of mankind's simple worship of nature. His history precedes the empire many years. Even when Charlemagne was hunting in the Black Forest near the Carolingian tribe, he would The next portion of the loot was sacrificed to Tal.

Tal is also known as the "god of god", which actually means god king. The god of nature and wilderness is undoubtedly the leader of human gods.

However, Tarr and his Natural Church faith were in decline in the Empire and Britannia.

the reason is simple.

There are not many benefits to trusting Tal.

The temple of Taal is broken. This god of nature hates performing sacrificial activities in towns. What he likes is to use stones to form a circle in the wilderness and forest, or to make whole huts, and use animal bones and furs. Raw meat can be used as a sacrifice. Tal hates his bishops and priests for collecting tithes or actively asking believers to offer sacrifices and tributes. He even hates their bishops and priests for participating in secular activities.

To put it simply, it is difficult for believers to make money in the name of gods, nor can they receive a large amount of divine favor from gods.

This is difficult to handle. There are very few benefits to being a follower of Taal. Apart from occasionally being blessed by the power of nature to enhance resistance to chaos and plague, strengthening physical fitness and honing combat skills, there are no benefits.

On the contrary, Tal, like Ulric, is a vengeful god. If you are a devout Tal believer, if you hunt a pig and offer it to the god regardless of the hind legs, Tal will be angry.

In any case, Ulric has given humans the courage and strength to fight, and the blessing and protection of the bonfire at night. If you shout the name of Ulric during the battle, you can occasionally get three or four times (or even ten times) critical hits. , Tal is even stingier than Ulric.

And today, Tarr's stinginess met its match.

A group of devout Tahar believers transported a large number of sacrificial livestock along the canal. They wanted to make a large-scale sacrifice on Taal's holy day to please the gods of their faith. Of course, this ship had to pay the canal fee. Tolls.

However, in addition to canal tolls, their livestock were impounded by knights and nobles from nearby lands.

The reason is simple. The knights and nobles in the nearby territory are having a grand outdoor barbecue banquet, and they need fresh ingredients.

And this was not the first time. When the canal passed through the territories of these knights and nobles, it not only brought convenience and smooth flow of freight, but it also gave them the opportunity to enrich their own pockets.

This is different from the Empire. For Britannia, the knights and nobles are brave, martial, and fight regardless of life and death, but this is different from the fact that many of them are greedy and greedy. There is no contradiction between bad management and being happy with achievements and showing off. Especially after the Great Expedition to Bafeng Mountain, many knights and nobles plundered, seized, and rewarded quite generously. Expenses suddenly increased greatly, society prospered, and a large amount of goods circulated. , and those knights and nobles who did not participate had to improve their appearance so as not to lose to others.

I am a knight, the guardian who protects you from the attacks of greenskins and chaos. What's wrong with eating a little of your food? In the name of ladies, without us, where would your current peace be?

This is what Baron Gubertin of Bordero thought and said.

It's a pity that today, the knights have thought too much. In Britannia today, the eight major churches of the old world have covered everywhere, and there are more and more free people. The changes in society have brought about the rise of new classes, which also represent After the old order was dismantled and rebuilt, the Taal believers no longer had no way to appeal. Instead, they united a group of citizens to fight back. They directly sued the Shrine of the Lake Fairy in Bordeaux and complained to the Holy Grail Knight responsible for the garrison. and the Lake God Prophet presented documents and a crossing permit indicating that he had paid the tithe in full to the Lake Fairy.

So on this day, the Lake God Witch Morgiana personally led a group of Holy Grail guards into the manor of Baron Gubaiding. They were drinking and eating meat, but the celebrating noble manor suddenly became silent. Gubai Baron Ding knew something was wrong. The knight who was already drunk and unconscious quickly led several knights in the manor to kneel down and said with a sad face: "I am only temporarily recruiting, Your Highness Morgiana. I want to hold a banquet temporarily. , in urgent need of some rich ingredients!”

"Rich ingredients? In the name of a lady?" Morgiana's face was cold, and her green eyes were burning with terrible anger: "Very good, Your Excellency Gu Baiding, a canal connects the north and the south, and the cost of passing the canal is 10%. Tax, give the lady one cow, two sheep and five chickens, but you withheld eighteen cows, twenty-five sheep, and fifty chickens. It seems that this canal in my knight kingdom was not built for the kingdom. In the name of a lady, the citizens of the kingdom are given convenient transportation and freight, but it seems that it was built specifically to provide benefits to you, Mr. Gubaiding?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!" Baron Guberding was so frightened that his whole body was weak.

"The lady has collected tithes, and now you are extorting money and detaining the goods in the name of the lady. Do you want Madam Yu to thank you? Your Excellency Gubertin!" Morgiana immediately signaled: "Take him down! Lock him up in a monastery! From today on, the title of Baron Guberding no longer exists! I declare that this family has been deprived of its title of baron and all the lands along the river have been confiscated! Bodrick will arrange for a new baron to be here! As for Mr. Guberding , just downgrade to a knight of the kingdom! Since he likes to hold parties in the manor, then just keep this manor for him!"

"From now on, if anyone uses the name of a lady to deceive others, line their own pockets, or affect the normal operation of the canal and cargo transportation for various reasons, this will be the case!"

"Yes!" The Holy Grail guards and the Lake God's prophets swarmed up and took Gu Baiding away.

Not far away, Ryan, Angron and Fulgan were standing on a hill, watching this scene.

Olika and Karona stood behind Ryan and Fulgan respectively. Olika looked at Karona with some doubts. Orika, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit and white suspender stockings, looked at this person with the power of God. The bloodline daughter of Aralos has doubts in her eyes, and she doesn’t understand why she appears in the Ember Legion.

Karona is somewhat hostile to Orika. In the eyes of the wood elves, the dark elves are undoubtedly enemies even though they are cousins. The dark elf in front of her is extremely powerful and possesses something that even scares Karona. It is obvious that this dark elf maid is not a pure saint realm powerhouse. There must be a god behind her who fully supports her.

"I think of the Empire." Angron looked at this scene, and the Primarch of the World Eaters shouted with some dissatisfaction: "It would be great if the Empire's national religion could also play such a supervisory role."

"The role of the Empire State Church is to get an extra share." Ryan shook his head: "This is different from the Lady of the Lake Church. The tithe collected by the canal is closely related to the church tithe. To put it simply, these nobles are greedy. If there is too much, the church will receive less. Therefore, it is best to let the church supervise. As the saying goes, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle. Everyone has his own place and performs his duties."

"As for which people are clouds and which people are water, that is something I should handle." Ryan closed his eyes.

In an instant, Fulgrim and Angron both felt that the shadow of that person seemed to appear behind their brothers.

The one who disgusted many primarchs, the one with the palm seal.

"Isn't the Church too greedy?" Angron shouted dissatisfied.

"No." Ryan shook his head and smiled: "Unlike the state religion, the church in this world has gods, and it is the true God who supervises it. It is whatever it is. The lady knows this very well. Her will is direct, and the church will be There will be no problem. This is different from the imperial state religion. We all know that my father sat on the Golden Throne for ten thousand years. Although he knew everything during these ten thousand years, he could not speak, and his spiritual power was Too powerful."

"So he needs Luo Jia." Angron shook his head. He hated thinking about problems with his brain.

"There are millions of bureaucrats in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs." Fulgrim spoke. The handsome, graceful, and graceful Emperor's Children Primarch Interface could tell that Fulgrim was in a good mood: "Millions of bureaucrats in the internal affairs department Ministry bureaucrats manage dozens of trillions of Imperial subjects on over a million worlds, and in fact, many bureaucrats spend their entire lives counting data on a large number of wrong, fallen, or out-of-date worlds.”

"From the introduction to the implementation of the policy, from Holy Terra to every cornfield in the agricultural world on the edge of the Star Torch, the responsibilities assumed have increased layer by layer, but the power enjoyed has decreased layer by layer. When there are problems with the policy, the ones who should be held accountable most Sit back and relax, and the officials and people who were coerced by the huge pressure of tithes and conscription have to bear all the consequences." Lion smiled and said: "Except for brother Guilliman and his Macragge."

"Therefore, the Supreme Lord of Terra and the National Church must worship my father as a god, because he cannot speak or move. If we don't lift him up and lift him up, how can everyone do things easily down below?" Fulgen nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, as the saying goes, it relieves the crisis of the king and father." Ryan laughed loudly: "In the name of the God Emperor, I will no longer need it, because my father and Luo Jia have begun to gradually take over the state religion."

Lion and Fulgrim laughed together, but Ferus, Angron's second son, was confused. He didn't understand what Lion and Fulgrim were talking about. The World Eater Primarch continued to yell angrily: "What on earth are you talking about? Also, why can you be sure that the state religion will get better after father and Luo Jia take over?"

"Because the church inherently has no position, the interests of the gods are the interests of the church, and the position of the gods is the position of the church." Ryan explained a little: "Before, they did things in the name of the God Emperor and reaped huge benefits, but now they The God-Emperor is back."

"Speak clearly if you want to, don't play riddles like this! Brothers, why are you like Guilliman Johnson and the others now, who like to say half the words and leave the other half?" Angron continued to yell unhappily.

"Hahahaha~ It won't be interesting if you talk about it." Fulgen laughed non-stop.

After finishing speaking, the three original bodies turned and left. Fulgrim rode on his pure-blood elf war horse, Angron rode on his hippogryph Nukelia, and Ryan picked up Orika and sat on his own mount. Imperius and Karona called a giant eagle.

The dark elf leaned obediently into Ryan's arms. Lilith's sunfire amulet was now hung on her plump breasts. The fire of heaven was burning on the amulet, and the soul of Sanguinius was stored in the sun. In the fire talisman, there is a pure and bright soul, and the pattern of blood-colored wings shines in the sun fire talisman.

The Sunfire Amulet represents endless hope and the power of rebirth. Only this ancient artifact that Lilith brought from the last era to the next can temporarily calm Sanguinius's soul.

Next, Llane, Fulgrim, and Angron will work together to see if they can awaken Sanguinius's sleeping soul.

As for undoing the curse of the Four Gods of Chaos, we still need the divine flames in the mantra scroll that Asuryan, the Phoenix Lord, gave to the Phoenix Guard Captain Kadroin on Fire Island. It is a unique thing in the world, even Even the Emperor cannot copy it.

"If you guessed correctly, it should also be from the previous era... that is, according to what my father said, it was the fire of heaven that Asurayan had before the fall of the spirit race." Ryan said to Fulgen: "It is said that the spirit race Before the clan empire, it was far more powerful than the human empire in the Golden Age?"

"Yes." Fulgrim nodded, and the Primarch of the Emperor's Son said without hesitation: "Judging from the records we found during the Great Crusade and the descriptions of the ancient saint servants of Lustria, it is indeed the case. The Eldar Empire is at its peak. At that time, it was much more powerful than the human empire in the era of our Great Crusade, but that was before the fall of the Eldar and the awakening of Slaanesh. After that, except for the Laughing God Xi Lego, almost all the Eldar gods were in the hands of Slaanesh. After falling, the God of War Kane was also blasted into thousands of pieces. Now it seems that they have been reborn in this world."

"I don't know if my father is as powerful as Asuryan in his heyday." Ryan showed his white teeth and talked about a scary topic: "I hope Ms. Celestine won't hear what I said."

"It is said that Asuryan, who was the main god of the Eldar at that time, was more powerful than his father in the main material universe, and his father's power in the subspace was much better than that of Asuryan." Fulgen also said casually, this is Crocker, the first-generation Old Demon Toad and the Demon Toad Lord, said that during this period, Fulgan learned a lot about the dusty secret history of the ancient saints from Crocker.

"Let's go, the ironclad ship from Haimen Pass, the Enterprise, is already approaching the Mannann dry dock. Let's go and see, brother Fulgen, whether your Saint Sophia is more powerful, or my Enterprise!"

"Get aboard, get aboard!"

"Open the champagne!"
