Chapter 4: Who has such talent?
"Ding, the Acedia System detected that the host's words and actions did not meet the reward conditions yesterday. Please arrange the host's work and life reasonably."
Roger immediately grinded his teeth and felt heavy in his chest. He wished he could challenge Queen of Eternal Night right now.
"No!!! Su-sure enough.... my system reward has been lost because of the queen's action!!!"
I once spent entire three days doing various tasks just to find ways to keep you happy.
I have not failed to keep you happy, but now you're doing this to me?
What a good fellow!
Roger lay flat on the bed with expressionless eyes, feeling weak, pitiful, and helpless.
I've been doing nothing, but the Queen of the Eternal Night sent a group to sneak attack on this waste of a brother, I can't handle it!
Forget it. I should be optimistic.
The empire is vast, and the queen of eternal night manages everything every day.
This time she came to see the son of an old minister. After this visit... I'm sure I won't see her again right?
After that, he laid down deciding to sleep his day away, So what if he didn't get the treasure chest for one day?
Yes, it's just a day!
Roger's state of mind gradually calmed down. Angelina saw that the light in his room was still on and pushed the door open.
The girl with blue hair could not help but smile helplessly when she saw her brother lying flat on the bed in his familiar posture, showing the eyes of a man who was lost in his dreams.
This smelly brother was still so lazy even after becoming a Marquis.
She sat down by the bed, rubbed Roger's head, and whispered:
"Have a good rest. Tomorrow we will hold a celebration of knighthood for you. We have to get ready early in the morning!"
Roger's mind exploded again as soon as he heard it.
What ceremony to celebrate, the ceremony to celebrate the loss of my daily treasure chest?
Sister, why do you want to kill people‘s hope?
And he has to get up early for this stupid celebration?
He disdainfully said, "It's just a celebration, let's not hold it!"
Angelina thought, "It's alright not to do it. But just in case someone says you're disrespectful to her majesty, I'm afraid she'll intervene..."
If someone saw Roger's smile now, they would say it was uglier than his sister's cry.
"You can do whatever you want. I like noisy celebrations the best!"
He knew that this could not be avoided.
……
……
At the same time, in the palace.
The queen of eternal night summoned the left Prime Minister Margaret, the dean of the school of magic, the Grand Admiral of the Empire, the foreign affairs adviser, and other military ministers to jointly discuss how to deal with the affairs of the Church.
There are seven main gods in this world, each with their own church.
The gods were in different factions and groups and fought against each other endlessly.
The Jade Vine Empire expelled the seven God Church in the war that swept the seventeen countries.
Now, three years after the completion of the unification war, the churches of the seven Gods have successfully negotiated with the queen of eternal night, made various promises, and issued various threats. All so they could preach within the empire.
The Queen of the Eternal Night hated the Gods from the depths of her heart.
But the Church of the Seven Gods were too powerful.
It is too much trouble, to offend all of them at once, even for the Empire.
This matter has been discussed many times. Tonight, Margaret, the left minister, stepped out confidently: "I have a plan!"
She was petite with her silver hair flowing down like a waterfall. She looked like some kind of demon. Her red horns and red eyes made her look beautiful, evil, and threatening.
Margaret always liked to wear black dresses, showing off her proud figure without affection. Her eyes were wild and proud. And her mouth always seemed to have a faint smile on it. There was always an indescribable temptation to her.
Listening to her:
"Your Majesty, I have come up with a perfect plan, that is to use the hatred of the gods against each other to win over and resist one group. This way the Empire will allow only three gods to preach!"
"In this way, we take all the benefits, drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, and let the seven gods fight against each other first then let the victorious three church regiments to resist against a foreign invasion. The Empire will concentrate on destroying the survivors of the seventeen countries!"
"This is also a delaying measure. When the Empire gathers the territory of 17 countries and doubles its strength, the submission or expulsion of the Seven Gods church will be in your Majesty's hands!"
After she finished speaking, all the ministers praised her and were convinced:
What a move, driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!
What an amazing plan!
Very subtle and very scheming!
This is the equivalent of killing two birds with one stone!
Only three places are needed, but the Church of Seven Gods can fight in a dogfight, and the Empire will benefit!
Margaret truly is worthy of being "The First Poison of the Empire"!
Orphaned with half-demon blood, but able to ascend to the position of the Left Minister, relying on her scheming little mind!
However, the Queen of the Eternal Night hesitated to speak.
People began to wonder. the Left Minister’s plan seemed so perfect. Isn't your Majesty satisfied?
Margaret was also puzzled, wagging her tail and looking forward to her majesty, only hoping for her praise.
After a long time, they finally heard the queen of eternal night sigh:
"Margaret, your plan was very good, but there are some things I just came to know of."
"Your Majesty, do you have any new information to disclose?" Asked the dean of the school of magic.
The queen of eternal night nodded and said in a heavy tone:
"I just got some clues. I accidentally connected the ancient scrolls we found in the ruins of the Veronica Dynasty to spell out a creation myth completely different from the current seven God doctrine."
"The seven gods say they created the world, but in the oldest version the seven gods were all made by God-King Amiras from the same dark source."
"The divine king... Is a guest from the ectopic side, not an indigenous God born from our world?"
"The secret Dharma association had found the birthplace of the God-King, which was a dead world turned into ruins. We have collected some debris, which reacted to the sacred emblem of the seven gods."
"This is enough to show that the gods are indeed united, and their struggle is just a play in order to make our world into a dead ruin!"
The dean of the school of magic suddenly realized: "The true goal among the gods is that they are acting to facilitate a harvest of faith?"
Margaret was also shocked: "Shit, the gods deliberately let us play driving the tigers to swallow the wolves. They calculated on a whole different level... Damnit, damnit, damnit!"
The Grand Admiral of the Empire, the foreign minister, and others were also shocked
If these gods were cunning snakes, treating all the nations of the world as the source of their faith, feeding on that faith and siphoning the life out of the world, what should the Empire do?
Everyone looked at the Queen of Eternal Night.
For such a big event, only the queen can make a decision.
The Queen of Eternal Night's eyes was very firm:
"Now, there is only one path the Empire can take. That is to fight the Seven Gods Church to the end and not allow any church to preach. We must avoid providing nourishment for the enemy!"
Her eyes were shining and burning with hatred.
If the gods wanted her country to do whatever they want, they would have to go through to her!
All the ministers said in unison, "Your Majesty is holy and bright. I am willing to follow your majesty to the end."
Dean Hall sighed: "Fortunately, your majesty is superior in strategy, otherwise we would all have fallen into the evil scheme of the gods."
Unexpectedly, the queen of eternal night shook her head: "This time, it wasn't me who saw through them..."
Although she is harsh, she is clear about the rewards and punishments. She will not be greedy for the credit of her officials and claim that she did it herself.
The ministers immediately became curious: "Your Majesty, who is it that has such a great talent? He should be taken in as a strategist!"
The queen of the eternal night couldn't help laughing when she saw each persons' exppresions.
She subconsciously wanted to show off her unique talent: "I went to Charles' house this afternoon..."
Margaret immediately cried out in horror, "It's impossible. That virgin with blue hair can't even use magic. How can she see through the real relationship between the gods?"
A hundred thousand warning signs rose in her heart.
On the right, Angelina is in charge of internal affairs, finance, and agriculture, and on the left, Margaret is in charge of military intelligence.
The two people would never cross the river and betray the empress.
But the tacit cooperation is only superficial, and they often compete secretly.
Angelina intends to study the relationship between the gods!
Margaret was like a little tiger whose territory had been invaded and roared in her heart.
Okay Angelina I thought you were a virgin.
Now I find that you are not only a virgin, but also a bitch!
Didn't I tell you about the gods earlier?
You knew the relationship between the gods, but you didn't tell me.
Oh, just to see me make a fool of myself in front of your majesty, right?
Haha, knowing the face without knowing the heart!
Angelina, Angelina, you pretended to be gentle and kind, but you had a snake and scorpion of a heart inside?
Angry!
Very angry!
Hateful!
Especially hateful!
I lost to the lady with blue hair!
Sooner or later, I will expose your hypocrisy with my own hands!
