Chapter 1089 Responses of Various Countries

May 22nd—

This day will definitely be recorded in the history books of later generations.

The first human Eternal Pope Aiwas married the Queen of Avalon, Isabel I, in the Theocracy. Humans entered the Holy of Holies for the first time. The Queen of Avalon ascended the throne under the witness of the current Eternal Pope. The New Herasil Empire was established. Empress Julia proclaimed herself emperor and issued the "New Herasil Declaration"...

——The next day, newspapers around the world went crazy.

Anyone who has read a book knows what a major event this is. For most people, this event is even bigger than the coming of the Fallen Angels - in fact, only the Stars can feel the coming of the Fallen Angels, and this event spread throughout the Hellas countries in just one day.

Avalon, Star Antimony, Iris... even the elves of the Theocracy and the trolls and goblins of the southern continent were discussing this matter; the ancient Parthian Empire was alarmed, and several benevolent lords immediately sent special envoys to Avalon. Even the distant Taichu Empire sent a long congratulatory letter with a ceremony.

For a while, perhaps the only people in the world who didn’t know about this were the dwarves living in seclusion in the northern mountains.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the people of Avalon.

Although Avalon was merged into the New Herasl Empire, it does not mean that Avalon will lose their queen.

According to the rules of New Helasar, the new Helasar Empire no longer has nobles. Isabel has also given up the royal power, but the core ruling power in the Avalon region is still the Round Table Hall... It's just that the original Round Table Hall was only for knights to enter, but now it needs a round of popular elections to let unpopular knights step down and let some civilians enter.

As a matter of course, as the beloved queen and the granddaughter of Queen Sofia, who is even more beloved, Isabel will inevitably be selected into the new cabinet. Her words and deeds still have a huge influence...but now she will no longer be the core of the country.

As for the diamond crown that Isabel was blessed with by the Lord at her coronation, it is now placed in the Round Table Hall - in the seat where the Queen originally sat.

As a symbol of authority and the incarnation of the Silver Crown Dragon, it oversees the meetings of the Round Table Hall.

Therefore, at least for the people of Avalon, there is almost nothing unacceptable about the reforms of the new era. Moreover, the three kinds of paper money issued by Avalon - white coins, red coins and copper coins - themselves symbolize the Silver Crown Dragon, the Candle and the Sand Clock, and so does the faith of New Herasl...

The only difference is that the order has changed.

The currency of New Herasil will be represented by the gold coin represented by the Sand Clock, the silver coin represented by the Silver Crown Dragon, and the copper coin represented by the Candlestick in order of respect. The Mint has printed new banknotes and coins according to the new currency designed by Isabel herself. It is expected that the first batch of new coins will be produced within a week. After that, currency exchange business will be opened in all parts of New Herasil, and the old currency will be exchanged for the new currency at a certain preferential rate. This currency inflation will accelerate the replacement of the old currency.

As for the laws, they were basically adjusted based on the laws of Avalon - the new regulations would be based on the laws of Avalon and Star Antimony, eliminating a large number of unnecessary laws. The same was true for taxes, which were significantly reduced.

In Avalon, the only ones who are not very adaptable to this reform are the arbitrators of the Arbitration Hall. According to the rules of the Arbitration Hall, they need to reduce diplomacy and alienate others as much as possible to ensure that their arbitration will not be forgiven due to personal feelings. Now they must also show their faces in order to maintain their positions in the Round Table Hall... Even so, a group of arbitrators are destined to leave the Round Table Hall.

Therefore, for most Avalonians, they believe that the New Herasl Empire was rebuilt with Avalon as the main body - Julia herself grew up in Avalon, as did her brother Aiwas; and her sister-in-law is Isabel, the last queen of the Kingdom of Avalon.

No matter how you look at it, they are all one of us!

On Star Antimony, the resistance to reform was unexpectedly small - this was mainly due to the first generation of Red Prime Minister and Fallen Angel.

The two of them had basically killed almost all of Star Antimony's nobles. Now Star Antimony's political situation was in chaos, with a conservative estimate of 60% unemployment, and more than 80% of Star Antimony's areas were completely paralyzed.

Public security, taxation, government affairs, and various public health services were completely suspended - most people stopped working. Therefore, if you are sick or injured, you can't find a doctor or a priest; the shops on the street were looted and smashed, and the remaining shops, unless they were opened by extraordinary people, were basically closed to ensure safety; no one could put out the fires caused by fighting or arson, and you could only wait for the natural rain.

It is almost impossible to withdraw money from the bank - after many banks were robbed, you have to make an appointment many days in advance to withdraw money from the bank, and you have to go through a very rough search and suppression before you can withdraw money in a closed environment. And there is a high probability that you will be met by a poor ghost who is lying in wait as soon as you go out.

A large number of counterfeit coins began to become popular in the market. Most of them were crudely made and could be seen as fake at first glance; but there were also many real counterfeit coins mixed in - they all came from the private coin factory of the former Count of Leipzig, which was the real reason why the Count of Leipzig could always generously treat all talents generously: he gave them fake gold coins that he had minted himself and could be mistaken for the real thing.

It's just that Count Leipzig was relatively cautious when minting counterfeit coins - he would launder them through a channel before using them, and he didn't dare to mint too many at a time for fear of disrupting the market. But now Count Leipzig is dead, but his private coin factory is still open... Now that Xingti has become so chaotic, who cares about the future?

I don’t even know if there will be a future!
Therefore, the uncontrolled printing of currency caused the entire Star Antimony market to collapse. The prices of commodities on the surface had generally increased by 30% in just over a month... but most things were unavailable. It was not that they could not afford them, but that no one was selling them. On the black market, the price had already tripled.

For the remaining Star People, it was impossible for them to trust their king anymore. No matter how you put it, Valentine VII who became a ghost, Valentine VIII who became the Son of the Moon… and Valentine VIII’s mother, Valentine VIII’s daughter, who welcomed the Fallen Angel and turned into a succubus Louise, made it impossible for people to have any good feelings towards the Valentine family. It could even be said that they had lost all face.

At this point, Star Antimony's currency and economy could no longer be saved, and they could only completely tear it down and reissue the currency. In this case, being able to merge into New Herasl was a blessing - perhaps only in this way could they survive.

Aiwass believed that Princess Noelle was one of the few old royals who really wanted Xingti to change for the better. Her most loyal clown, Lalo, was indeed a prime minister with strong political skills. But the problem now was that the train was already falling into the abyss. Even the most capable people could not press the brakes.

She tried for more than half a month, and found in despair that she could do nothing - or rather, she originally had a way to try to save him, but not many people were willing to listen to her.

Her unconditional joining of New Herasl essentially meant the demise of the Star Antimony Kingdom, but at least it was not destroyed by the Iris People, which was a consolation.

Therefore, some Star Antimony people believed that the resignation of the Valentine family was justified; although a few people believed that this was an act of treason...but how could returning to the Hellassar Empire be considered treason?

The people of Avalon did not have such a strong sense of belonging to the Herasil Empire. After all, the original founders of the country, the Knights of the Round Table, were pioneer knights who came out to fight the giants because they did not like the atmosphere of Herasil.

But Xingti is different...

According to Xingti's cultural education, they have always regarded themselves as the orthodox of the Helasar Empire. The clothing of Xingti nobles is almost the same as that of the late Helasar Empire. Whether it is music, paintings, clothing, jewelry...all are the style of the last generation of the Helasar Empire, and there has been no modification or change for hundreds of years.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xingti's aesthetics and art have hardly developed: Who are you to be qualified to engage in artistic innovation? Can you be as awesome as your ancestors? Can your power alone surpass the thousand-year tradition of the Helasar Empire?
——Innovation that is not recognized by anyone is naturally equivalent to "mistake".

The influence of this group of traditional returnees is very large in Xingtan. They are the ones who encouraged the reintegration of the Helasar Empire... and now that the opportunity has come, they will naturally continue to suppress other factions. Originally, their enemy was the royal family, but now even the royal family is on their side.

As for the opening of the Dao, Xingti was the most open country in the Dao. The only thing that they could not accept was the "Transcendent Registration System".

Because of their distrust of the original Xingti royal family, nobles and Moon Children, they were very worried about the leakage of their information.

Any battle in the supernatural realm is essentially an intelligence battle before there is an overwhelming gap. At least three people of the same level are fighting one, two people of a higher level are fighting one, or two energy levels higher than the opponent to be considered a crushing victory. And if you can hide your own path, profession and energy level, it is very likely that you can defeat the opponent with the weak.

That is to say, if their registered energy levels and occupations were to be leaked out, and the other party planned an assassination attempt in a way that restrained them, they would have almost no ability to resist; the restraint relationship in this world was too obvious.

At present, the greatest resistance of Xingti to the New Helasar Empire is here - and in fact, their worries are correct. Because Aiwass taught Yulia to collect information about everyone in order to develop a targeted strategy to ensure that every extraordinary person can be suppressed and arrested.

However, people will soon realize that the enforcement of this law is actually quite lax.

It's not like in Avalon, where any illegal supernatural person can be arrested or even killed, but it's another model - for example, if you only register for the second-level wizard profession, then you cannot use third-level spells or other supernatural abilities in public, otherwise you will violate the security law and be punished by fines, imprisonment or "compulsory labor" depending on the impact.

The so-called compulsory labor is actually a form of recruitment.

It's impossible to let the superior extraordinary people above the fourth energy level sweep the streets.

In other words, this law is not that strict - even if you really use illegal abilities without registration, at least you will not be sentenced to death. In this way, it is actually equivalent to suppressing the possibility of abusing extraordinary abilities in disguise...

It is probably equivalent to the punishment for drunk driving. As long as no serious consequences are caused, the punishment will not be too severe. If some consequences are caused, the punishment will be increased. With this law as an excuse and deterrent, there is a reason not to drink or to prevent people from drinking indiscriminately, thus optimizing the overall social atmosphere.

There was no reaction from the Black Hawk Territory either - they had been a vassal state for over a hundred years, and the only difference was who they were sons to. At least the new father seemed to be rich and powerful, and not only was he reasonable and cultured, he was also very gentle to them. That was enough.

The Narcissus collar was slightly stuck.

Because the one who really had the right to join the New Herasl Empire was the descendant of the Narcissus Lord—the pure-blooded Moon Child Princess. She was supposed to be in Star Antimony, but after Star Antimony fell into chaos, she could no longer be found. The mages wanted to enter, but they couldn't, and they were almost dying of anxiety.

The only people who have strong resistance and disgust towards the New Herasl Empire are the Iris People.

Or to be more precise - the Moon Children of Iris.
