Master Overlord
Chapter 62
The struggle for rights has never had the option of reconciliation. Mr. ilu is familiar with the history of the Kingdom, and he has no doubt about it.
Olivido III had three sons. The second son died of disease when he was young. That was more than 20 years ago.
The eldest son was granted in the south of the olivido family. He should have become the next king for olivido IV, but he was captured in the serf riots more than ten years ago, escorted all the way to the king''s capital, and finally died at the hands of a group of serfs.
The death of his eldest son made Olivier III hate the Duke of the South and his nephew, which was well known by the nobles in the royal capital, and even the civilians heard and talked about it.
People say that the big prince was killed by the Duke of the south. If it weren''t for his ruthless suppression and uncompromising attitude, the serf coalition army didn''t dare to kill a prince. It was he who forced the serf coalition army into a desperate situation and killed his cousin.
There are even rumors that the serf riots were a conspiracy planned by him to clear the obstacles to his accession to the throne, because the riot serfs originally came from the southern territory under his command.
The Duke of the South suppressed the serf riots and resolved the crisis in the royal capital, but king olivido III didn''t even want to see him, which made Duke Rost lose face and leave angrily with his vassals.
After the death of the eldest son, the younger son became the king''s last hope. Prince jodhry olivido, who was originally sealed in the west, was recalled to Whitestone castle. The king specially sent two gold guards to protect him.
Gold robed guards are the king''s front guards. There are seven of them. Except for the captain, each of them has fighting strength of more than silver.
The golden guards came from all the families in the kingdom. They won the king''s martial arts competition and vowed to be loyal to the king and the royal family until they died.
However, even with the protection of a large number of court guards and gold robed guards, the old king olivido III still failed to avoid the fate of losing his heir.
Seven years ago, the third prince jordrie olivido suddenly died. According to the news from the Bachelor in the court, the prince''s death was very tragic.
Before his sudden death, the prince had a high fever. During this period, he kept asking his servant for water to quench his thirst. Then he was roasted by fire, his eyes were red, and after he was in a coma, before the king and the court doctor arrived, Prince jodhry was close to his sudden death.
It is said that after death, his eyes were red and bulging, his skin was pale and chapped, and the whole person was like a dried corpse with red eyes after baking.
The shock of the bereavement plunged the elderly Olivier III into despair. He didn''t attend his son''s funeral and left everything to his son-in-law, Mond fravi, Duke of the East.
It is said that the king did not even shed a tear.
Since then, olivido III ignored the government. He only cared about one thing, that is, the construction of the Church of the God of light in the king''s city.
The king is no longer like a king. He is more like a supervisor or a devout believer.
In order to build the church, the king did not care about gold coins. He not only took out the Royal savings, but also levied new taxes. It is said that more than 10000 slaves were invested in the construction of the church alone.
Most of these slaves were serfs who had rioted in those days.
Under the insistence of the Kingdom, in just six years, a magnificent God of Light Church adjacent to the white stone castle of the palace was built.
Of course, only the main body of the church has been completed. Up to now, there are still nearly 100 painters working in the first God of Light Church. They have drawn all kinds of legends and miracles in the God of Light Church on stone columns, walls and domes.
In addition, there are dozens of sculptors responsible for carving various gods.
According to the news back to the school city, there is a statue of the God of light up to ten feet in the temple of the church!
The statue of God wears a gold crown, holds a sword and is plated with gold! It is said that when the lamp behind the statue is lit, the whole temple of the God of light will be bathed in golden light.
Olivido III is near despair, Xuecheng analyzed. He abandoned his belief in the former king. Even if the statues of the former kings were covered with dust, he did not care at all. As a king, he began to worship at the feet of the gods and believed in an illusory and groundless God.
With the support of olivido III, a devout believer, the priests of the God of light began to become active in the king''s capital. The king was assisted not only by the bachelor, but also by the priests.
The royal family was once the most important sponsor and patron of the school city, and worked hard for the development of the school city.
However, the transformation of olivido III and the rise of the God of light have greatly damaged the development and status of the school city. In the palace, the priest''s suggestions can be trusted and adopted by the king more than the bachelor''s degree.
After losing the full support of the royal family, the situation of Xuecheng became more and more difficult. The nobles in Dongjing drove away the Bachelor in the castle, and the life, research and training of new people in Xuecheng were also greatly affected.
Worse and more worrying than these is the hidden danger that the whole danze Kingdom seems to be about to be dragged into the vortex of war.
Olivido III was devout and never took charge of politics except as a spectator. The power of the kingdom was controlled by the court prime minister and Duke Monde Flavi of the East.
The Duke of the East is the promoter and supporter of the rise of the God of light.
The other side allowed the God of light to develop believers in the East, bewitch civilians and expel heresy, so as to win over the people and promote the idea of divine supremacy.
The idea of divine supremacy is not only foolish, but also full of doubts once it is recognized by nobles and civilians.
God does not exist, which is very certain by the scholar IRU. Since God does not exist, how can God exercise his supreme power? This supreme power naturally falls into the hands of those believers who call themselves God, more specifically, the priests.
The priests of the God of light are just traitors who steal the name of God and try to seek secular power under the pretext of divine power.
The development of the God of light is a disaster, and the practice of Duke Mond flavy puts the peace of the kingdom in a precarious situation.
As the Duke of the East, it''s impossible for him not to understand the harm of the supremacy of theocracy. Knowing this, the other side still strongly supports the God of light. The purpose of the Kingdom''s prime minister is well known in the East. Many Eastern nobles even began to call him "the king waiting for coronation".
The biggest enemy that prevented Mond Flavi from taking the crown was not the legitimate heir of the Kingdom, Rost olivido, Duke of the south.
The Northern Territory has obviously been dragged into the vortex of this power struggle. The Duke of the Northern Territory and the Duke of the southern territory have an attitude of deliberately trying to eliminate the aristocratic forces loyal to the royal family in the territory.
At the moment, the only thing that is still stable in the four borders of the kingdom is the west border. However, they have judged the school city of the farit family in the west border. They are not indifferent to the struggle, but just waiting for the opportunity.
Sitting on the rock, Mr. ilu looked anxiously at the road leading to the upper river. At the moment, the food in his mouth was tasteless.
In order to resist the development of the God of light, the Duke of the South also began to support religious forces. Before long, the South will be like the East, no longer welcoming the existence of the bachelor.
"The school city needs reform," thought Mr. ilu.
