Chapter 206 Past and New Image

Inside the collapsed church, the setting sun shone through the broken glass windows, and the late dusk glow showed colorful ripples.

Chu Ming moved his sleeves, and vines climbed up to move the fallen stones away, clearing a path leading to the courtyard.

The two of them walked quietly in the desolate courtyard, feeling some subtle feelings in their hearts.

"Wait a moment."

Isabel smiled and stopped Chu Ming. She came to the fallen tree in the courtyard and squatted down. After hesitating, the girl stretched out her hands to dig up the soil above.

Chu Ming took a look and stepped forward to help.

He squatted next to the girl and peeled away the soil on top, revealing the clay pot inside.

When Isabel saw that the clay pot was still there, she couldn't help but frown.

Chu Ming asked curiously: "What is this?"

The girl smiled mysteriously, "I can't say it now. I'll tell you later."

Chu Ming shrugged, laughed helplessly, grabbed the girl's muddy hands, and used witchcraft to wash away all the mud.

The two climbed up the old stairs to the attic.

It's just that after the royal capital was captured by the dark wizard, the church was ransacked by the dark wizard, leaving it in a mess.

Coupled with the erosion of rain and strong winds, the furniture inside has experienced weathering, peeling off and many collapses.

When Isabel saw the scene in front of her, her eyes inevitably dimmed a bit.

Chu Ming stared at her fair face. He waved his hand, and dream manifestation witchcraft appeared. Three dream shadows appeared behind him.

Among them, the dream that belongs to the church attic continues to expand and gradually expand into reality.

The dilapidated and collapsed furniture in the attic gradually faded away, Chu Ming's dream came to reality, and Isabel's attic temporarily returned to what it looked like a few years ago.

The girl turned around and scanned the entire attic. The familiar feeling returned, and she felt a sense of peace of mind.

Her sky-blue eyes swayed like pure sea water with little ripples.

"Thanks."

Chu Ming didn't speak, just smiled and rubbed her long golden hair.

The two came to the window sill and looked at the entire royal capital as before.

Chu Ming's dream came to the entire royal capital, and the streets outside the window temporarily returned to their previous appearance, but the city without people was missing something after all.

They stood in front of the window chatting and reminiscing about the past until nightfall, when Chu Ming took the girl and left the attic.

After Chu Ming left, the dream subsided and the attic room returned to its desolate look. The cold moonlight shone in and the room became quiet.

After taking Isabel out for a walk, the girl felt much better.

After returning to the camp, Chu Ming said goodbye to Isabel who was reluctant to leave, and found Edel who was busy in the camp.

"Why are you back so early?"

A look of surprise appeared on Edel's face.

Chu Ming spread his hands, "I'm just here to ask how you plan to restore order to the entire empire."

When Edel heard this, he felt a little heavy in his heart, "This time the God of Hidden Rooms ravaged the empire and destroyed a large number of towns. The number of people suffering from aberration disease increased significantly, and the knights and wizards also suffered heavy casualties."

"I plan to hold a grand funeral first, erect monuments for these people who have passed away, and record their achievements. This will also give comfort to the people who have lost their loved ones."

"Nearly half of the empire has fallen, there are ruins everywhere, and there are dark wizards watching..."

Edel rubbed his temples with a headache.

"I hope this funeral can help people come out of the shadows and look forward again."

Chu Ming stared into Edel's eyes and smiled: "This is not enough."

"If we want everyone to get out of the shadow of the past, there must be something new enough to wash away the haze of war."

Edel was stunned for a moment, "What you are talking about is..."

Chu Ming slowly said: "The new king has ascended the throne."

After hearing this, the man's heart pounded, and he hesitated and said: "Narende, are you talking about me? I may not be very..."

Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "Edel, believe in yourself. As the world's number one wizard knight, I believe that your name as the king of wizard knights will spread throughout the world in the future."

"Only you can convince those counts and the people."

Edel asked doubtfully: "What about you?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "I will probably choose to visit the world outside the empire."

"That's right..." Edel sighed, "If I had the legendary power, I would choose to go out and have a look."

"Don't worry, I will clear all obstacles for the empire before leaving."

…

The two chatted happily in the camp until midnight, and then summoned the earls who had been planning to meet Chu Ming to announce the new king.

Not only did the several earls not object, but they were overjoyed and strongly approved of Edel's ascension to the throne, and seemed a little impatient.

In the view of these earls, Edel himself was the earl of Fengyang Empire, and it was legal to take over the throne of the empire.

Secondly, compared to others, Edel is more kind...er, or easier to fool.

However, with Chu Ming here, they would not dare to put eye drops on Edel even if they had ten courages. The legendary intimidation was no joke.

Moreover, Edel himself is also an epic, and he is too young compared to old men like them. The future is limitless, and the empire may be able to shine with new glory in his hands.

After Chu Ming finalized the enthronement matters with a group of counts, he planned to announce the news that Edel was about to ascend the throne on the day of the funeral, and held an enthronement ceremony after the order of the empire was restored.

Half a month later.

With the help of the wizard, the carving of the stone tablet and the construction of the cemetery went smoothly, and it took only two weeks to complete.

The funeral was held as scheduled at the Cemetery of Heroes next to the Guankou Fortress.

On the day of the funeral, light rain fell in the sky, and mournful wails echoed throughout the cemetery.

Watching the corpse of a famous knight, wizard or citizen being buried under the stone monument, people's emotions that had been suppressed for several days were finally released, and the scene was filled with a sad atmosphere.

After burying the past, everyone present looked worried, full of confusion about the future.

At this moment, Edel and a group of counts stepped forward to announce to everyone that they were about to ascend the throne, and promised to restore order in the empire as soon as possible, severely punish the escaped Count Daun, and expel the dark wizards who threatened the order.

Edel announced his accession to the throne and all his promises, and then looked at everyone present anxiously.

Burrett happily wiped the tears from his eyes and applauded with the knights and the wizards of the Tower of Knowledge.

The confused people also reacted at this time, their eyes gradually became brighter, and they clapped their hands to welcome the arrival of the new king.

Chu Ming looked at Edel with a serious face at the distant pass, chuckled and walked towards the south.

Three days later, Chu Ming found the Daun family who had defected to the southern border and the limit-breaking wizard who accompanied them.

What's ridiculous is that after the limit-breaking wizard saw Chu Ming coming, he wanted to use the super-giant demonic skeleton dragon vine that Chu Ming taught him to deal with him.

Chu Ming just waved his hand, and the nine forbidden dragon-transforming vines surrounded the wizard and the summoned demonic dragon vines like a group of dragons. After a few seconds, only some demonic dragon vines were torn apart.

of juice, the wizard completely disappeared from the world.

Seeing this scene, the members of the Daoen family lost all their souls and could not resist. They followed Count Daoen and knelt down on the ground, begging Chu Ming to let them go.

Chu Ming took back the staff he gave to the wizard, and touched the sky with his right hand. The huge night curtain blocked the sun, wrapped everyone in the Daun family, and teleported towards the pass.

One day later, the news that Chu Ming had captured Earl Daun spread throughout the camp. People who had not yet left the camp gathered together. Many of them were people who were deceived by Earl Daun to go to the Earldom of Winter and were infected with the aberration disease. Even if

The church has cured their aberrations, but more than a month of suffering has made them hate Earl Daun.

On the same day, Edel personally sent Count Daun to the guillotine. After the knife fell, blood spread all over the ground.

Seeing this, the earls fell silent and looked at the expressionless Chu Ming and Edel on the stage. They had a new understanding of the new king who was about to ascend the throne.

After the execution, the pass camp began to be dismantled, and the residents lined up in long lines to return to their original territories.

For Edel, the problem of the Southern Territory needs to be solved urgently. They also need to take back the Southern Territory from the dark wizard and rebuild the Southern Territory.

It is not difficult to retake the southern territory. As long as the knights march south, they can retake the occupied towns from the loose and unorganized dark wizards.

The difficulty is how to allow the population of the northern border to flow, so that the people of the border can spontaneously build the southern border, and live in the southern border for a long time, becoming the southern border population.

Moreover, after fighting the dark wizard again and again, Edel found that the loose knights of the earldom were difficult to mobilize at critical moments, and sometimes they would oppose the king's regime.

After realizing this, Edel was determined to change the previous aristocratic system and improve the appeal of the Southern Territory to the people, so he immediately found Chu Ming and asked him about other ways to govern the Southern Territory.

In a room in Guankou Fortress, Chu Ming put down the book in his hand and looked at Edel in surprise, "You mean you want to strengthen the centralization of the empire?"

Edel was stunned for a moment. Although it was the first time he heard the word centralization, he couldn't help but nodded.

"Narende, I just said that it is definitely right to find you."
