Chapter 425 Independence! The Kingdom of Cecil!(1/2)
Bruno habitually wanted to turn back, but...this is the last page.
Although there are many vague words and sentences in the middle of the diary, those are no longer important.
Because... with these scattered passages, Bruno can already connect what he knows with the content in this diary.
This also explains why the Idars found the corpses of the Holy Cult Army near the Asset Basin, and why the magic concentration in the western part of the empire decreased for no reason during this period!
There is only one reason, that is... the church wants to create God!
Or...
Someone wants to become a god!
O'Brien!
Bruno had a deep impression of the name O'Brien because... this guy who stole the corpse of the god recorded in the diary, and this other identity - the first pope of the Church of Light!
Bruno didn't believe that it was just the same name and surname, because... everything was so natural.
Why does the church hate magic? Why does it take a lot of effort to find magic wells distributed throughout the continent?
Because only by reopening these magic wells with the residual thoughts of the gods, so that the magic power on this continent will dissipate, can the power of faith be condensed and the gods be born again!
And obviously...
My own approach is simply right!
Although the existence of magic industrialization and the development of magic transmission cannot be said to have made the entire eastern part of the empire full of magic again, at least the magic power on this land flows again and begins a new cycle.
Only magic technology can compete with the church, and only the development of magic industry can completely shatter the church's plans!
really……
As a time traveler, I am the real son of destiny!
As for the stolen corpse in the diary... If Bruno expected it was correct, the corpse must be somewhere in the Auguste Desert!!
"Creel!"
Thinking of this, Bruno shouted outside the door.
"Duke, what are your instructions..."
He had been waiting outside the door just now and did not dare to leave a step. After all, this is the highest level of secret since the establishment of the Principal of Idar!
"Didn't you ask someone to inquire about the Auguste Desert a long time ago? Why hasn't there been any movement until now?!"
Seeing that the Duke's face was slightly unhappy, Crael hurriedly said: "Report to Duke, the Agure Desert is very active and the vast majority of the land is unmanned land and deserts, so..."
"alright!"
Hearing this, Bruno couldn't help but wave:
"This matter is urgent. Find out what the church is hiding in the Agure Desert. If there is not enough manpower, draw from elsewhere. If there is not enough funds, increase funds. Before the church shows its fangs, the CIA of Idar must submit a report to me!"
"clear!"
Seeing Bruno's serious expression, Crael quickly promised with confidence.
"In addition... Lak Frey made a great contribution this time, and he will be appointed as the Director of the Overseas Territory Management Department of the Idal Government Affairs Department, and will perform his duties after the completion of the Babylonian Tower."
After saying that, Bruno waved his hand, and Crael carefully retreated from the study, leaving only Bruno himself, staying in the seat and pondering.
only……
What Bruno didn't expect was that
The 539th year of the New Calendar is destined to be a peaceful year.
The church's entrance made the original situation turbulent, and what Bruno learned on this day was that these secrets about the Church of Light were just an appetizer before the chaos began.
...
In the west of the empire, on the south bank of the Chishui River, Luen City.
A small three-story building that is not conspicuous is located in the prosperous and prosperous Xicheng District of Luen City.
Most of the residents living nearby hide in their homes and spend the winter with the vigorous burning fire.
but……
The long and cold winter makes the entire street look a little empty, only those ragged refugees crouched under the wall and spent every minute and every second with difficulty.
As the situation in the inland state of the empire became increasingly corrupt, even the nobles in the western part of the empire gathered many strong refugees during this period.
But at this moment, they were already thin and shivering in their thin short clothes.
Their faces were blue and they lived through this cold winter almost entirely on their own survival instinct.
indeed,
The nobles in the west were also accepting refugees, but... not all lords could dig out the savings of their family for generations like Bruno, Duke of Idal, and save refugees through labor-for-relief.
On the street, several soldiers from Luen City were walking slowly with a simple cart, which was filled with a pot of extremely light vegetable soup.
Although there was very little food distributed to the refugees, the soup was at least hot, and it was steaming in the cold winter, attracting the refugees present to look at each other.
The refugees showed desire in their eyes, but at the same time, their eyes also contained obvious fear.
They dare not fight for it, because if they are not careful, they will attract the soldiers' punches and kicks.
"This damn errand!"
The leading soldier cursed with great dissatisfaction: "There is no oil or water to catch, it's simply unlucky!"
"It's almost done. After I've given this pot of soup, I can go back." A younger soldier pondered: "But... this pot is not enough for them to share..."
"What do you care about so much?! These are not things that people like us should worry about. If you send it out earlier and go back, you will almost freeze to death..."
...
"Squeak..."
Listening to the noise outside the window, Mark Merton opened the window, and the slightly old coffin made a sound that was not as crisp as the squeezing and deformation of the wood.
Standing by the windowsill, he looked at the streets and alleys in Luen City from afar, and recalled his hometown again.
If I was in the Principal of Idar at this time...what were probably doing?
Anyway...
The winter days in the Principal of Idar will definitely not be as deserted as the city of Lun.
Under Lord Bruno's rule, the Idars would never allow themselves to huddle in their rooms. Whether it was a construction site in winter or a market on the street, people and business trips could be seen in every corner of the Principal of Idar.
You know, the Idars are wearing thick cotton coats, which is enough to resist the cold wind. When winter is relaxed, they can do some miscellaneous work and earn some wages. Isn’t that good?
At this moment... the Principal of Idar, located in the eastern part of the mainland, is probably another lively scene, right?
Mark Merton came to the west of the empire half a month ago. He was the envoy of the Principal of Idal. He visited the west of the empire on behalf of the Duke of Idal Bruno Stuart and delivered letters from the Duke.
As a native Idal, Mark Merton witnessed the great changes in the eastern part of the empire with his own eyes and heard about the prosperity of the empire in countless times.
However……
When he actually came to this land located in the western part of the empire, he felt particularly disappointed.
Perhaps the nobles on this land are extremely wealthy, but... the living conditions of the people on this land are simply incomparable to the Idars!
Sometimes, Mark Merton is even angry about the harsh living environment of the local people.
At this moment, he clearly realized that only the Stuart family... can give ordinary civilians a hopeful future!
only……
No matter how angry you are,
Mark Merton knew his identity clearly and his duties. He was the messenger of the Principal of Idal and the duke's voice-over.
As for the living conditions of the people on this land... they cannot be changed by themselves.
and……
In just over half a month since I came to this land, the western part of the empire had undergone earth-shaking changes!
The western part of the empire...is independent!
Yes,
Independent!
This is definitely explosive news!
Even when Mark Merton just heard about it, he was completely confused!
Duke Carter's assassination seemed to make the entire western part of the empire panic, and then... Duke Lun raised his arms and shouted, and the nobles in the western part of the empire strongly supported it.
then……
Arriving in the north to the Carter Heights and to the south to the Norman River Plain, a brand new independent kingdom officially stands on the land in the western part of the continent.
And the name of this country is called the Kingdom of Cecil!
The Kingdom is named after the Cecil Mountains that run across the central and western part of the continent, which means that the Kingdom hopes that it can be as firm, fearless, unyielding, and... forever standing!
To be continued...
