Chapter 247 Ryan’s mysterious past
Arthur Lane, the founding emperor, lived for more than a hundred years, but his reign was actually not very long.

When the Lion Empire was officially established, he was already in his forties, and several years had passed since he killed the dragon.

According to historical records, Arthur Lane has mainly dealt with the issues of the remaining dragon clan and the Dragon Cult in the past few years.

After suppressing two large-scale counterattacks by the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan finally compromised and all members left the mainland for distant overseas lands.

The Dragon Worship Cult also completely collapsed, most of its classics were lost, and its followers quickly decreased.

By the time the Lion Empire was established, there were no more dragons on the mainland, and there was no Dragon Worship Cult anymore.

Later, the Golden Kingdom of the Dwarves, the Mountain Kingdom of the Orcs, and the Emerald Dream Forest of the Druids... These countries were established one after another, and they were established with the help of Ryan.

During Arthur Lane's reign, he was very kind to various races and was happy to help these races establish their own countries.

During this period, the intelligent races on the mainland had very good relations and could really be called a nation of brothers.

In Heki Stone's information, Amberxiu also found that there was a drought in Lane. The druids came overnight to help with rainfall. The dwarf kingdom sent gold and the orcs sent food. The disaster had not caused much impact. It's already been resolved.

Huggie Stone showed a slightly sarcastic smile and continued: "Then Arthur Lane came back. After almost twenty years, he reappeared, and then passed away not long after. Other kingdoms sent their weight All the ministers came to attend his funeral. This was originally a good opportunity to restore the closeness between the countries.

Huggie Stone agreed with Ambrose's statement and continued to introduce the history of that year.

"There is no relevant record of what happened specifically. Only a certain fable of the elves mentioned similar content. It is said that after the king died, the demons surrounded his body, trying to tear off a piece and swallow it. Next. The king's wife sacrificed herself to drive away all the demons."

Amber Xiu really didn't expect that the sudden disappearance of an emperor would have such an impact. It seems unreasonable, but if you dig carefully, you can find this outrageous but very reasonable explanation.

It is difficult to calculate the specific time accurately, because the emperor left a letter and then disappeared suddenly. Ryan concealed this for a period of time, so that the historical records of other countries are not very accurate.

"After all, they are only worried about the safety of Arthur Lane. Now it is confirmed that no one is trying to murder this hero. Now that the matter is out of the way, it shouldn't be difficult to restore the previous relationship, but it happened at the funeral. question."

"When checking the information, I discovered that during this period, various countries sent envoys to Lane in large numbers and with extremely high frequency. They should all be to investigate the disappearance of Arthur Lane. And this situation will make Lane feel that these few This kingdom was interfering in its own internal affairs. It was also during this period that the Lion Empire promulgated many new policies and began to restrict foreigners from entering Ryan.

In the history of the Lane Empire, Arthur Lane did not disappear, but directly passed the throne to his son, and he retreated behind the scenes.

The transformation of the Lane Empire happened to be at this time.

Huggie Stone consulted many ancient books that had been handed down to confirm that there was chaos in the Lane Empire at that time. He then compared military records with investigations in other kingdoms and came to the inference that Arthur Lane was missing.

But this honeymoon period was short-lived, as Arthur Lane only served as emperor for less than thirty years.

"From envoys to businessmen, from officials to civilians, they are all investigated as spies. Although no serious conflicts have been recorded, Ryan experienced an economic decline during this period. This is because most of the Foreign businessmen have left Lane for various reasons.”

Ambrose nodded and said, "They will think that someone killed Arthur Lane. Conspiracy theories are also part of human nature."

Arthur Lane chose to abdicate when he was almost eighty years old.

Amberxiu said very dissatisfied: "Don't sell it, otherwise your time to ask questions to Arthur Lane will be deducted."

Huggie Stone said unhappily: "You are such a bad listener and are not cooperative at all. Well, let me simply say that there was an accident at Arthur Lane's funeral. Not only did the relations between the countries not ease, , but became even more nervous.

Huggie Stone said to Amberxiu: "Actually, I don't know if this second emperor should be blamed. The disappearance of Arthur Lane has a great impact, and every kingdom is very concerned about the safety of this holy king. . If the people of Lane try to hide it, it will only make people in other kingdoms think the worst."

"and after?"

It's not clear why the founding king left Heki Stone. He looked through the history books of the mainland and couldn't find any clues at all.

Amberxiu couldn't help but said: "What a weird story. It couldn't be that Arthur Lane's queen died at the funeral, right? What does it mean that the devil is fighting for the king's body and wants to take Arthur Lane's body into pieces and take him home? Roast it and eat it?”

But Huggie Stone shook his head and said: "That's not true. According to records, this queen died earlier than Arthur Lane and did not live to be more than a hundred years old. So it is impossible to be at Arthur Lane's funeral. Appear.

"As for the body of this king, I haven't found any relevant information. Perhaps, we can get the answer from the elves. Aren't we familiar with the elves? They should have more detailed records." Amber Xiu did invite The former Elf King came over, but he was preparing to discuss business. Now that his curiosity has been aroused by Heggy Stone, he really wants to inquire about it when the time comes, hoping that the Elf King will not become the Riddler.

"Go on, what happened next?" Amberxiu asked.

"Later, after the funeral, the relationship between various countries and Ryan became even worse. For a long time, the atmosphere was tense, and a fight almost broke out. From that time on, Ryan's attitude towards foreigners became even worse. As time went by, As Lane continued to grow stronger, and decrees were issued one after another, foreigners went from being discriminated against, to being hostile, and then to being enslaved. Over the past thousand years, Lane's policies have become more and more extreme.

"When it came to the eleventh emperor of Lane, he set a rule that was enough to plunge the continent into war. He declared that any human being was a compatriot of Lane, and Lane would not tolerate any crime that harmed humans. Even if it happened in other kingdoms Ryan will pursue everything that harms humanity to the end.”

Ambrose sneered and said, "I know this. Ryan's complete unreasonableness started from here."

Until now, there are still humans who are unwilling to join Lane. Not every human being can agree with Lane's extreme religious and racial policies. How many people who have not received Ryan's education since childhood are willing to sacrifice for the empire?
But Ryan is so domineering, turning all humans into excuses for them to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

Huggie Stone said: "I cannot understand that the Lord of the Morning could bless such a person."

Amberxiu shook his head and said, "No, you are mistaken. The Lord of the Morning has not blessed any Emperor Lane. Except for Arthur Lane, there is no one favored by God in the royal family."

This was mentioned when he was chatting with Apoptotic Rose. Apoptotic Rose said that in the entire history of Ryan, no emperor had ever been blessed by the gods, or even listened to the oracle.

Of course, this matter was well hidden by the royal family, and outsiders did not know the details and had no way of prying into it.

After all, if there are such things as oracles and blessings, you can't guess if others don't tell you whether they exist.

Huggie Stone retorted: "Similarly, there are so many paladins in Ryan who say they have not been favored by the Lord of the Dawn. Who would believe it?"

Amber Xiu did not argue with him on this issue because it was a debate that had been circulating on the mainland for a long time.

When a god blesses a person, does it mean that he blesses the country where that person lives?

Countless people have been arguing about this debate for thousands of years, but to no avail.

Some people think that the people of Lane are blessed, which means that the Lord of the Dawn loves the country of Lane, because 99% of the people who are blessed will become high-level officials in the country. It is impossible for the gods not to know the symbolic meaning of this, and it is impossible not to do so. Know the consequences of blessing.

But some people say that the Lion was blessed because this person was loved by the Lord of the Dawn. The Lord of the Dawn probably didn't care about this country at all, so the symbolic meanings and results are all imagined by mortals.

No one can ask the gods personally to get the answer, so in the end they can only quarrel, and then everyone keeps their own opinions.

Amberxiu did not stand for any theory. He did not like any unfounded speculations, especially speculations about gods. There are so many gods, each with a different personality. Some people like individual believers, and some people like the whole body. This is for sure.

What are you fighting for? Is there any unified standard?
But if it were to focus on the Lord of the Dawn, Amberxiu would prefer the latter. The Lord of the Morning only loves those who truly practice his teachings, not the Llane Empire. It's just that because Ryan has been promoting truth, goodness and beauty for so many years, there are too many young people who have this belief.

Just like Allen, Amberxiu didn't find any moral flaws in him. Except for his weak strength and not very smart mind, he was perfect in other aspects.

People at the top may be using this to deceive people, but young people really believe it and practice it. In this way, even though he was deceived, the Lord of the Dawn would not be stingy in giving blessings.

This is Amberxiu's own conjecture. It can only be said that the evidence currently available is consistent with this conjecture, and no contradiction has been found yet.

If this could be proven, the Lion Empire would not be so scary.

No matter how powerful an empire is, if it starts to collapse from within, no one can save it.

Assuming that these speculations are true, the internal problems of the Lane Empire must have been very serious, and many people should have noticed it.

"In the entire Ryan, who will discover this problem first?"

Amber Xiu was thinking, and an old face with an unsmiling and extremely serious face appeared in his mind.
