Chapter 842, The Banquet of the Primarch (Part 1)

Just when the high elves held a war council in the Phoenix King's Court, Britannia saw a group of peaceful scenes. The serfs lived a rare life, social wealth developed, productivity increased, and Bafeng Mountain The dividends of the Great Expedition, the rapid circulation of social wealth and gold and silver, towns and villages are becoming more and more lively, and more workshops have also started to work.

Today is the festival of Taal, the god of nature, and Raya, the mother of the earth, called the day of the summer solstice.

The history of Tal, the god of nature, is much older than the history of the empire. No one knows whether Tal became a god by mortals or by faith, but there is no doubt that this god of nature and wilderness is the most influential god in the old world One, he generally appears as a greasy old hunter with fur, unshaven, and unkempt, who only uses spears and bows.

The appearance of Laya, the goddess of the earth, is a kindly middle-aged woman who is a little fat and wears many flowers and green leaves.

As mentioned earlier, Tal is the brother of the white wolf god Urik. This god of nature has been believed in the old world for at least three thousand years. Many studies have shown that Tal is the continuation of the "old religion". That is to say, the gods formed after the materialization and materialization of human beings’ pure worship of nature. His history was many years earlier than the empire. Even when Charlemagne was hunting in the Black Forest near the Carolingian tribe, he would cut The next part of the spoils was sacrificed to Taal.

Taal is also known as "godofgod", which means "god of gods", which actually means god king. The god of nature and wilderness is undoubtedly the leader of human gods.

However, Tarr and his Natural Church beliefs were on the decline in the Empire and Britannia.

the reason is simple.

There aren't many benefits to Xintal.

The temple of Tal is broken. The god of nature hates sacrificial activities in towns the most. What he likes is to use stones in the wilderness and forests to form a circle, or the whole broken hut, to take animal bones and furs, Raw meat can be sacrificed. Tal hates his bishops and priests for collecting tithes or asking believers to offer sacrifices and tributes, and he hates bishops and priests for participating in secular activities.

To put it simply, it is difficult for believers to collect money in the name of the gods, nor can they get a lot of grace from the gods.

This is very difficult. Being a follower of Tal has very few benefits. Apart from being able to occasionally receive blessings from the power of nature to enhance resistance to chaos and plague, strengthen physical fitness and hone combat skills, there is no benefit.

On the contrary, Tal, like Urik, is a god of vengeance. If he is a devout Tal believer, Tal will be angry if he hunts a pig and sacrifices every pig's hind legs to the god.

No matter what you say, Urik has brought courage and strength to human beings to fight, and the blessing and protection of the bonfire at night. If you shout Urik's name in battle, you can occasionally hit three or four times (or even ten times) crit , Tal is even more stingy than Urik.

And today, Tal's stinginess met its match.

A group of devout Taal believers transported a large number of sacrificial animals along the canal, and wanted to do a large-scale sacrifice on the holy day of Taal to please the gods they believed in. Of course, this ship was to pay the canal Tolls.

However, in addition to canal tolls, their livestock was seized by the knight nobles of the nearby domains.

The reason is simple, the knight nobles in the nearby territories are holding a grand barbecue banquet in the wild, and they need fresh ingredients.

And this is not the first time, when the canal passes through the territories of these knights and nobles, it not only brings convenience and smooth freight, but also gives them the opportunity to use their hands and fill their pockets.

This is different from the empire,

For Brittania, the knights and nobles are brave, martial, and disregarding life and death when fighting, but this and many of them are greedy, poor at management, and eager to make great achievements. It is not contradictory to put on a show, especially after this expedition to Bafeng Mountain, many knights and nobles plundered, seized, and rewarded them quite generously. The expenses suddenly increased, the society was prosperous and a large amount of goods were circulated, and those knights who did not participate The nobles had to improve their pomp so as not to lose to others.

I'm a master knight, a guardian who protects you from the attacks of greenskins and chaos, what's wrong with eating something from you? In the name of Ms., without us, where would your present peace be?

Lord Cooperting of Boldereau thought and said so.

It's a pity that today, knight lords think too much. Today's Britannia, the eight churches of the old world have covered four places, and there are more and more free people. Social changes have brought about the rise of a new class, which also represents With the disintegration and reconstruction of the old order, Thar believers no longer had nowhere to ask, but united a group of citizens to fight back. They directly sued the fairy shrine in the lake in Bouldero, and complained to the Holy Grail Knight in charge of the garrison. He and the Lake God Prophet showed the documents that he had fully paid the tithes of the fairies in the lake and the passing permit.

So on this day, Morgiana, the witch of the lake, personally led a group of Holy Grail guards into the manor of Lord Baron Cooperdin. Baron Ding knew something was wrong, and the knight lord, who was already unconscious from drinking, hurriedly led several knight lords in the manor to kneel down, crying mournfully: "I'm just requisitioning temporarily, Your Highness Mogiana, temporarily, I want to hold a banquet , urgently need some rich ingredients!"

"Abundant ingredients? In the name of a lady?" Morgiana's face was cold, and her blue eyes were burning with terrible anger: "Very well, Your Excellency Guberdin, a canal runs from north to south, and the passage of the canal is Fisher Taxes, one cow, two sheep, and five chickens were handed over to the lady, and you deducted eighteen cows, twenty-five sheep, and fifty chickens. It seems that the canal in my knight kingdom was not built for the kingdom, no In the name of a lady, you gave the citizens of the kingdom convenient transportation and freight, but it seems that it was specially designed to provide benefits to you, Your Excellency Gu Boding?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"The lady collected tithes, and you are still extorting and detaining the goods in the name of the lady. Do you want Madam Yu to thank you! Your Excellency Guberdin!" Mogiana immediately signaled: "Take it down! Lock it up in the monastery! Starting today, the title of Baron Cooperding will no longer exist! I declare that this family has been abolished the title of baronet and confiscated all the fiefs along the river! Boderick will arrange a new baron here! As for this Mr. Cooperting , just downgrade to a knight of the kingdom! Since he likes to hold parties in the manor, then only keep this manor for him!"

"From now on, if anyone uses the name of a lady to deceive others, enrich their own pockets, and affect the normal operation of the canal and cargo transportation for various reasons, they will be handled according to this!"

"Yes!" The Holy Grail guards and the prophets of the lake god rushed forward and took Gu Boding away.

And not far away, Ryan, Angron, and Forgen were standing on a hill, watching the scene.

Olika and Karona stood behind Ryan and Forgan respectively. Olika looked at Karona with some doubts. Olika, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit and white suspender stockings, looked at this man with the power of God. The daughter of Alaros, whose eyes were full of doubts, did not understand why she appeared in the Legion of Ashes.

Karona is somewhat hostile to Olika. In the eyes of the wood elves, the dark elves are undoubtedly enemies even though they are cousins, and the dark elves in front of them are extremely powerful and possess some kind of power that even scares Karona. Obviously, this dark elf maid is not a pure sanctuary powerhouse, there must be a certain god behind her who is fully supporting her.

"I think of the Empire." Angron watched this scene, and the Primarch of the World Eaters yelled with some dissatisfaction: "It would be great if the state religion of the Empire could also play this kind of supervisory role."

"The role of the state religion of the empire is to share an extra share." Ryan shook his head: "This is different from the Lady of the Lake church. The tithe collected by the canal is closely related to the church tithe. To put it simply, these nobles are greedy. If there are too many, the church will receive less, so it is best to let the church supervise, as the saying goes, the cloud is in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle, each in his own position and performing his own duties."

"As for which people are clouds and which people are water, that's what I should deal with." Ryan closed his eyes.

In an instant, both Fulgrim and Angron felt that there seemed to be the shadow of that person behind their brother.

The one that many Primarchs loathed, the Handprinter.

"Won't the church become more greedy?" Angron yelled dissatisfied.

"No." Ryan shook his head and smiled: "Unlike the state religion, the church in this world has gods, and it is supervised by the true God. As much as it should be, the lady is very clear about this. Her will is direct, and the church will be There will be no problem. This is different from the state religion of the empire. We all know that my father has sat on the golden throne for ten thousand years. Although he knew everything during these ten thousand years, he could not speak, and his spiritual power Too strong."

"That's why he needs Lorgar." Angron shook his head, he hated thinking about things with his head.

"There are millions of bureaucrats in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire." Fulgrim opened his mouth. The handsome, suave, and graceful Emperor's Son Primarch interface, it can be seen that Fulgrim is in a good mood: "Millions of bureaucrats in the internal affairs Bureaucrats manage tens of trillions of imperial subjects on more than a million worlds, and in fact, many bureaucrats spend their lives counting vast numbers of wrong, fallen, or outdated worlds."

"From the introduction to the implementation of the policy, every cornfield in the agricultural world from the sacred Terra to the edge of the Astronomican has increased responsibilities, but the power enjoyed has decreased. If there is a problem with the policy, those who should be held accountable Sit back and relax, but the officials and people who are coerced by huge tithes and conscription pressure have borne all the consequences." Ryan said with a smile: "Except for Brother Guilliman and his Macragge."

"Therefore, the supreme lords of Terra and the state religions have to regard father as a god, because he can't speak, he can't move his body, and if he is not held up, how can everyone do things down there?" Fulgan nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, as the saying goes, the danger of the emperor has been relieved." Ryan laughed loudly: "In the name of the emperor, it will not be used in the future, because father and Luo Jia have gradually begun to take over the state religion."

Ryan and Fulgrim laughed together, only Angron Ferrus couldn't figure it out, he didn't understand what Ryan and Fulgrim were talking about, and the Primarch of the World Eaters continued to shout angrily: "What are you talking about? Also, why can you be sure that the state religion will change for the better after Father and Luo Jia take over?"

"Because the church has no position by nature, the interests of the gods are the interests of the church, and the position of the gods is the position of the church." Ryan explained a little: "Before, they did things in the name of the emperor and made a lot of money, but now they The Emperor of God is back."

"If you want to say it, make it clear, don't play charades like this! Brothers, why are you like Guilliman Johnson and the others now, like to say half of the talk and leave the other half?" Angron continued to yell unhappily.

"Hahahaha~ If you talk about it, it will be boring." Fulgan couldn't stop laughing.

After finishing speaking, the three Primarchs turned and left. Forgen rode on his pure-blood elf warhorse mount, Angron rode his hippogryph Nukelia, and Ryan picked Olika up and sat on his mount. Imperius and Karona called a giant eagle.

The dark elf leaned obediently in Ryan's arms, and now Lilith's sunfire amulet was hung on her full chest. The fire of heaven burned on the amulet, and the soul of Sanguinius was stored in the sunfire amulet. In the fire talisman, it was a pure and bright soul, and the pattern of bloody wings shone in the sun fire talisman.

The Sunfire Amulet represents endless hope and the power of rebirth. Only this ancient artifact that Lilith brought from the previous era to the next can temporarily calm Sanguinius' soul.

Next, Ryan, Fulgrim, and Angron will work together to see if they can wake up the sleeping soul of Sanguinius.

As for unraveling the curse of the four gods of chaos, you still need the flame island, the flame of the gods in the mantra scroll that Asuryan, the lord of the Phoenix, bestowed on Kazhuoyin, the captain of the Phoenix guard, is a unique thing in the world, even Even the Emperor can't replicate it.

"If you guessed right, it should be from the previous era... that is, according to what my father said, it was the fire of heaven that Asuryan had before the death of the spirit race." Ryan said to Fulgen: "It is said that the spirit race Before the clan empire, it was far stronger than the human empire in the golden age?"

"Yes." Fulgrim nodded, and the Primarch of the Emperor's Son said without hesitation: "From the records we found in the Great Crusade and the descriptions of the ancient holy servants in Lustria, it is true that the Eldar Empire is in full swing. At that time, it was much stronger than the human empire in the era of our Great Crusade, but that was before the death of the Eldar and the awakening of Slaanesh. After that, except for the laughing god Xi Lego, almost all the gods of the Eldar were in the hands of Slaanesh Falling, God of War Kane was also blasted into thousands of pieces, now it seems that they have been reborn in this world from Nirvana."

"I don't know if my father is as powerful as Asuryan in his heyday." Ryan showed his white teeth, and said a very scary topic: "I hope Ms. Celestine won't hear me."

"It is said that Asuryan, the main god of the spirit race, was stronger than his father in the main material universe at that time, and his father's strength in the subspace was much stronger than Asuryan." Fulgan also said casually, this is The first generation of the old devil toad, the great lord of the devil toad, Crocker, said that during this period of time, Fulgan learned a lot of secret histories of ancient saints from Crocker.

"Let's go, the ironclad ship from Haimen Pass, the Enterprise is already approaching the Mannan Dry Dock, let's go and see, Brother Fulgan, your Saint Sophia is better, or my Enterprise is better!".

"Get on board, get on board!"

"Open the champagne!"
