Ark's Journey to the Demon God
Page 124
The electors chose Lord Utica and let him ascend the throne in the name of Witch-King. From then on, he ruled Leitania safely for ten years.
However, ten years later, for unknown reasons, the Witch King suddenly changed his temperament. He became cruel and crazy. For example, the Emperor of Gaul persuaded him to surrender. Frankly speaking, Corsica I wanted to annex Leta. Leitania is not unreasonable. From the many specialties of Letania and various cultural remnants, it can be seen that Gaul once owned Letania, and at least had the status of nominal master and servant. However, However, the Witch King broke through the defense. He directly purged all the Gaul envoys without hindering the international view, and then declared war on Gaul on his own.
As the leader of a country, the Witch King's behavior at that time was actually no different from madness.
Because the power of Letania was too small, and Victoria, Ursus, and Casimir did not have time to fight at that time, in the eyes of people at the time, the Witch King was able to conquer the entire Gaul with just a mere Letania. Now, it's like Ah San versus Wuchang
It's like a declaration of war.
But the development of history is so dramatic, with the cooperation of various countries and the powerful force of the Witch King himself.In the battle between the four emperors, the arrogant Gaul unexpectedly lost, and this time the defeat was so complete that the country was directly destroyed. The Witch King's reputation reached its peak. This is why he was so violent but still had so many followers.
However, decades after the Battle of the Four Emperors, the Witch King's tyranny continued unabated. Although the Witch King's achievements were dazzling enough, such a tyrannical monarch was left useless, so it would be better to replace him.
"Replace?"
The messenger boy chewed the cake and murmured: "Didn't the electors already choose the Witch King as the leader of the country? The Witch King is still alive, what if he doesn't agree to be replaced?"
"Normally speaking, changing the emperor means changing the dynasty. In Great Yan, this is an outcome that requires rebellion... But Leitania is different. The current monarch is not good enough, and the electors can secretly depose him. Then choose a new king, wait until the time is right, and then attack directly to completely overwhelm the Witch King."
"How can the electors be so capable?" The messenger boy put the knife and fork on the plate and said: "The electors, to be honest, aren't they just a group of nobles? In a competition of force, are they really the Witch King's opponents? Old sir, I have heard that the Witch King is a supreme master and is notorious on the continent of Terra... Before I traveled here, I heard many people mention his legend."
In those half-true and half-false legends, the Witch King is to the Leitanians what Zhang Liao is to Jiangdong, a being who can stop children from crying at night.
How many troops do the electors have and how strong are they who dare to replace the Witch King?I'm afraid that as soon as I arrived at the foot of the tower, I was taken away by the Witch King's combo of moves.
"That's why I say there is something wrong with the current system in Letania."
Shen Muke curled his lips. He did not approve of the elector system at all.
Can the quality be guaranteed if the nobles choose the monarch?This is just a lie to children.
What criteria did the nobles use to choose their monarch?What does he look like?Cultural literacy?Or emotional intelligence quotient?Or what achievement?
None, for the lords, there is only profit!That’s the only requirement!
The electors will choose whoever is in their best interest.
Back then, when they chose the Witch King, they most likely chose the Witch King because of his strength. Because Letania had not yet gained a stable foothold and Gaul was eyeing it, the electors needed a suitable and powerful character to stabilize their power. Hold their ground, and it turns out they did it. The Witch King's power did stabilize Leitania, and their short-term goal was accomplished.
However, their long-term goals are a disaster.
In Shen Muke's view, the Witch King may not know how to govern the country at all. All the decrees he issued are basically random. If he wants to build the Sunset Hall, then build the Sunset Hall; if he wants to experiment with infected people, then use infected people. experiment.Later, the Witch King was destroyed, and the unscrupulous and careless behavior of his remnants became the true legacy of the Witch King.
A man who knew nothing about governing a country managed to rule Leitania for decades by force of arms. In the original plot, the Witch King was finally abandoned by the emperors in 1076 of the Terra Calendar, was defeated by the Twin Queens, and finally fell. In the tower.
Why did the electors choose twin queens?Because only they can defeat the Witch King in terms of hard power and can change the monarch. If you let others do it, they don't have the ability to do it, you know!
This is the limitation of the electors. They are not making choices, but doing business and bargaining.They always solve the most difficult problem at hand first, and then put other problems on hold. When everything becomes irreversible, they immediately move to the next link, choose a new substitute, and then kick out the old one. This week repeats itself.
This method does bring convenience to the electors of Leitania, but for ordinary people in Leitania, this is much more exciting than a horror movie.
They were completely led by the chosen emperors. Not to mention freedom, even survival was a problem. In the original plot, after the twin queens came to the throne, Leitania seemed to be getting better. However, from [Operator Black] It can be seen from the voice of the key] that this is just burying naked blood in the ground. It is not that it is gone, but that it cannot be seen on the surface.
Sitting in front of the table, Shen Muke remained silent.
There is only one way for Letania to have a free future.
Abolish the electoral system and give the right of choice to the people!
Chapter 8 My name is Bryce
In the cafe, the messenger boy listened to Letania's situation, finally put down his knife and fork, sighed and said:
"Before departure, I once petitioned the Pope, hoping to go to a country full of romance and art. For this reason, I gave up Victoria, Colombia, and Syracuse... I originally thought Leta As a hometown of music, Nia should be as beautiful as Rutland... Now it seems that this place is not worthy of its name."
Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Your understanding is correct, little brother, Laitania is indeed the hometown of romantic music, but the fly in the ointment is that the current Laitania is a tyrant. The country, the music here is certainly beautiful, but it’s a pity that there is only one.”
The autocratic monarch will not allow any other notes to appear. Along the way, Shen Muke discovered that almost no one displayed their musical talents on the streets. Everyone seemed to be forced to suppress their nature. The impression of Lai, the hometown of music,
Tania, that's not the case.
The Witch King's rule has reached the level of anger and resentment, and both the electors and ordinary people have reached the end of their tolerance.
If the Witch King hadn't stayed in the tower all year round, and the tower had resisted all invading enemies, he would have been overthrown long ago.
However, nothing is absolute. Shen Muke already has a reliable prototype, but it just needs the cooperation of some people...
Shen Muke picked up the already cool tea cup, drank the milk tea, and said to the messenger brother: "Let's go, find a place to stay first, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"Well, old sir, we, the couriers of all nations, have documents and can apply for residence from the local officials... I won't bother you to spend any money."
"Are you sure you don't want to live with me?" Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you want to go find the Witch King's men with the document?"
"So I leave everything to you!"
The messenger brother bowed very smoothly, "Everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation during this period is up to you!"
In the face of the overall situation, the messenger brother completed the closed loop of his thoughts in one second. No matter what the purpose of contacting the talkative old gentleman in front of him, at least he should not have any bad intentions. After all, he is just a messenger. Firstly, he has no wealth, and secondly, he has no possessions. He only has the equipment on his body, which is not worth much. If the old gentleman is really malicious, there is no need to talk to him so much.
Therefore, Shen Muke's image in the messenger brother's eyes has become that of a talkative outsider, just like in the legend of Dayan.
When an expert outside the world does something, how can I figure it out all at once?Since someone sincerely invited me, it would be a bit disrespectful if I didn't go, wouldn't I?
( ̄ ▽  ̄)
"Don't always call me [Mr.], I'm still young." Shen Muke corrected with a smile: "My name is Agaritu, what is your name?"
The messenger brother nodded and said: "I understand, Mr. Agaritu, my name is Abraham."
"…Good name."
……
Around Xizhaoting Square, Shen Muke randomly found an elegant small hotel and stayed with Brother Abraham.
Although he was prepared in his heart, when the hotel owner saw the flute in Shen Muke's arms, his reaction still surprised Shen Muke.
"Old sir, we are allowed to hold musical instruments here...but for the safety of you and your companions, you'd better not play it here..."
Shen Muke was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is this? Isn't Letania allowed to play?"
"Is this your first time here?"
"That's right."
"That's it..." The boss walked to the door, looked around, closed the door, and said, "You probably don't know yet, right?"
"what do you know?"
"Witch King... His Majesty the Witch King, Lord Gertrude, responded to the Witch King's order and searched for those who had both musical talent and magic talent in the territory. He gathered them and sent them all into the tower. …”
Sent to the tower?
Shen Muke frowned, what is the Witch King going to do?You're not going to do any fancy things again, are you?
For a tyrannical scum like the Witch King, the most vicious thoughts and speculations were not enough to express his corruption. Shen Muke just thought about it briefly and felt exhausted.
It seems that he needs to act as soon as possible. Waiting for the Twin Queens and the Electors for everything will not work.
"Understood, boss, please don't worry, I won't play the flute here."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Shen Muke put away the flute and pulled another one at Abraham who was staring directly outside——
"Let's go, let's talk about it later."
"Oh oh oh, got it."
……
At night, the bright moonlight shone, reflecting Shen Muke's face.
In the sky are two moons, which are undoubtedly the products of pre-civilization.
It's a pity that Veselheim is not Volemund, so we can't see the wonderful moonlight... But it's not bad, at least it's better than the moonlight in Londinium. This shows that Leitania, a country specializing in magic, has not suffered any pollution. of.
Ta-ta-ta-ta...
"coming…"
Shen Muke raised the corner of his mouth, put on his gray robe, covered his scales inside, opened the window gently, and stepped on the wall with his feet.
call--
The night wind was cold, blowing on his face, and he just floated in the air on the wind, moving up like a ghost.
On the roof of the hotel, a figure was looking down, stopping in every room, as if looking for someone.
"Don't look for it, I'm already here."
In the silent night, Shen Muke's sudden sound made the other party suddenly startled. The wand he held tightly in his hand was drawn out, and a bright spell was released!
Facing this blazing light, Shen Muke just raised his hand gently, and then held it like picking fruit——
In the face of the other party's horrified eyes, Shen Muke took hold of "Light" and squeezed it hard!
hiss--
Like a misfired firecracker, Shen Muke crushed a spell with just his scale-covered hands.
what monster is this? !
The other party realized in an instant that the gap in strength between the two was too big and he was no match!
He pulled out a short whistle, his treasured possession and a last resort.
He put the short whistle in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and blew it.
U--
The whistle was not loud, but rather strangely low, like a flame burning calmly.
As the whistle sounded, there were really hot flames surrounding the opponent. The flames wrapped around his body and gradually surged upward.
The other party waved the magic wand in his hand vigorously, and the fire was controlled and condensed into a huge fire snake!
Fire snake?
Shen Muke clicked his tongue in surprise. He had known this trick before, but he only needed to use Aini's Fire Jade.
"Do you want to use music and flames to cover yourself? It's really interesting. Are you trying to scare the snake away?"
Feeling the sights coming from all around, Shen Muke curled his lips. It seemed that he couldn't stay here any longer.
The Sunset Hall is one of the Witch King's buildings, and Vesselheim is the territory of the Gertrude family. The Witch King's followers have no reason not to keep an eye on this place day and night.
It's a pity that it was exposed too quickly. It's all the fault of the person opposite...
Shen Muke stretched out his hand and took out a baton from his waist.
"Don't try to use music and spells against me, little spy!"
Shen Muke raised the baton in his hand high. Under the moonlight, the silver ring on the middle finger of his left hand reflected the flame. In the dark night, it burst out with a light comparable to the sun!
"Bow down to the King of Music! My name is Bryce!"
Chapter 9 The Devil's Laughter
Vesselheim, suburbs.
hiss--
The divinity moved the air, and the next second, Shen Muke appeared here holding a baton.
Accompanying him were Brother Abraham, the masked spy, and various items scattered in the open space.
When the cold wind blew, Brother Abraham woke up from the cold. He suddenly took off the blindfold from his eyes, and then he found that he was wearing pajamas in the wild!
"Oh my God! Am I dreaming?!"
Seeing Brother Abraham hurriedly picking up his clothes from the side, Shen Muke came over and said with a smile:
"The sleep quality is okay. Didn't you hear such a big noise just now?"
"What happened just now? Mr. Agaritu? Aren't we sleeping in the hotel?" Brother Abraham looked at Shen Muke in confusion, then pointed at the spy beside him and said:
"Who is this again?"
"A secret agent."
"what happened to him?"
The secret agent sat on his knees on the ground, staring straight ahead, his eyes blank, as if he had lost consciousness.
"Ah, this... not everyone has enough mental strength to teleport. He shouldn't have reacted yet, right?"
Shen Muke walked up to the spy and took off the mask on his face, revealing a young face.
