Chapter 123 Thunder Temple
Of all the vampires, only Andrew, Amelia and Victor have obtained enough perfect blood to strengthen their strength.
In addition to Chen Mo and Alexander Kovinas, the strength of the four of them is already the strongest in the world, and they are even higher than Marcus, who has lived for hundreds of years as the ancestor of the vampire.
Like all other knights, Marcus only got a drop of perfect blood to relieve the vampire's flaws, and he didn't know the origin of this drop of blood, he always thought it was a gift from Chen Mo.
Before, Chen Mo didn't mind Marcus' ambition, because as long as he was there, Marcus would never betray.
Many people have ambitions. As long as they are not rebellious, Chen Mo allows their ambitions and wants to rule the human race? Yes, he has now achieved it. As one of the four dukes of the empire, Marcus has stood at the top of the pyramid of power.
It's just that Chen Mo is about to leave now, and he will not leave any hidden dangers to the empire he built. If Marcus shows any desire for the throne, Chen Mo will not let him walk out of this room alive.
Fortunately, Marcus was not blinded by the desire for power and knew that the throne of God was not something he could control. In this case, Chen Mo didn't mind letting him continue to be the Duke of his Empire and the Elder of the Blood Clan.
After all, Chen Mo's vampire knights were formed with his help, and Marcus is indeed a great contributor to the establishment of this huge empire.
As for whether Chen Mo will think again after Chen Mo leaves, Chen Mo is not worried.
First of all, he does not dare to overstep now. What he fears and fears is Chen Mo's identity as a "god". Even if Chen Mo leaves, he is still the god of the empire. The deterrent effect will not be reduced at all, but will become a high-hanging sword. Always remind me Watching him, a true God is watching his every move from heaven.
And even if he really had some thoughts, with Andrew, Amelia and Victor around, he would never be able to make any waves.
In the movie, Victor has been steadily suppressing Marcus, the ancestor of vampires, and firmly holds the power of the vampire empire.
Because most of the vampires are the subordinates of Victor and Amelia, who were once lords, Marcus has the name of the ancestor of vampires, but he is alone and can't command many vampires at all.
Now, Andrew and Victor are firmly suppressing Marcus in terms of strength and power, and Chen Mo believes that they will be optimistic about him.
Looking back from Marcus, Chen Mo was a little embarrassed for a while. Originally, he wanted Andrew to take over the empire. He has followed Chen Mo the longest, the oldest, and the strongest. The original Hundred Knights was formed by him. and trained.
In addition to the four dukes, the eight marquis with the highest title were also the eight people who lived with him to the end in the werewolf slaughtering village. He is also the eight captains of the original Hundred Knights, the current Silver Knight.
Although their status is not as good as that of noble lords, who are good at commanding, and are also the three elders of vampires in the movie, Victor and Amelia, but they are only below them, when it comes to the prestige and call of the Knights of the Temple Strength, the eight of them are still above Marcus.
As Andrew's original companions and subordinates, they are brothers and sisters with him, and their feelings are extremely deep. They are brothers who can trust each other with their lives. For Andrew, they are absolutely supportive and obedient.
With the help of the eight of them, plus Amelia, Andrew will have no problem taking over the empire, and it can be said that he is the best candidate at present.
Of course, the most important thing is Andrew's absolute loyalty to Chen Mo.
In the entire Knights of the Temple, although all the knights are very loyal to Chen Mo, including Marcus, their degree of loyalty is still different.
Even believers in God have different levels of belief in God, with different degrees of piety.
Marcus belongs to the kind of belief that fears gods, but still considers his own gains and losses.
It is not a whole-hearted devotion of oneself to God.
He will not betray God, but he will not give up everything, even his life, for God, and follow him without hesitation.
However, the Andrew Society, the Amelia and Victor Society, the Eight Marquis and the original Hundred Knights, and even the remaining knights who were strictly selected to join later would all firmly follow Chen Mo.
As long as Chen Mo gives an order, even if they want to go to a strange place full of difficulties, dangers and challenges, where the enemy is stronger than them, start from scratch and continue to fight, they will still give up their current titles and territories without hesitation. , power and wealth, follow him without hesitation.
Because their loyalty and belief in Chen Mo has surpassed their own lives, and Andrew is undoubtedly the most loyal and firm in their beliefs. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, Chen Mo will come back without hesitation. hand over the throne to the emperor.
Status, power, wealth, beauty, nothing can corrode Andrew's steel-like loyalty to Chen Mo.
Therefore, Andrew is currently the best candidate to take over the throne.
It's just that Chen Mo made a miscalculation this time. He never expected that Andrew's belief in him was too devout, and he was resolutely unwilling to accept the emperor's position in front of him.
But this is also understandable. For a devout believer who believes in gods, even if the gods in the temple leave his throne, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the idea of sitting up. For him, this is a blasphemy to the gods. It is impossible to allow yourself to do something blasphemous.
The best candidate he expected, but because he was too loyal, was resolutely unwilling to accept it, which made Chen Mo a little unexpected.
Just when Chen Mo had a headache, a silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded in his ears. Chen Mo couldn't help showing a smile and paced to the window.
Through the glass window, Chen Mo looked down, and saw that in an open space not far below, little Selena was chasing and playing with William.
The tall and strong William was chased around by the little Selena who only reached his waist, wearing a snow-white princess dress, while the petite and lovely Selena chased after him with her claws and claws, giggling happily.
After being seduced by Chen Mo with a large bag of candy, she pinched her nose and drank a test tube of the perfect blood from Chen Mo. Little Selena's body was also strengthened. Despite her petite body, her strength and speed were high. Amazingly strong.
Because her body has not yet fully developed, her strength is not particularly terrifying, and it is slightly stronger than ordinary vampires, about three times that of ordinary people.
But in terms of speed, little Selena is on par with William, the ancestor of the werewolf, and even the petite Selena is more flexible than the tall William.
No matter how hard he ran, he couldn't get rid of Selena who was closely following his ass. In the end, William was careless and couldn't dodge in time. Selena grabbed his clothes and had to stop and run in frustration.
Selena proudly stretched out a small hand towards William, William lowered his head and slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to the happy little Selena with a face full of reluctance.
Selena grabbed the candy from William's hand and carefully stuffed it into her small pocket, smiling happily, her big eyes curved into crescents.
Chen Mo stood in front of the window, looking at little Selena who was giggling happily because she won a piece of candy, a smile slowly evoked the corner of her mouth.
...
Located in the center of the imperial capital, there is a vast, magnificent and towering Gothic building complex, or more appropriately called a palace.
It consists of many tall and majestic buildings. Surrounded by many churches, bell towers, palaces and towers, the central one is a giant palace that is taller and more majestic than all the surrounding buildings. It belongs to the gods believed by all the people of the empire, the Thunder Temple of their emperor Chen Mo.
Except for the reinforced concrete beam-column skeleton, the main body of the temple is made of the same dark and hard black stone as the Black Stone Castle.
Two rows of dozens of black giant stone pillars with a height of 100 meters support the entire hall. The space inside the temple is extremely wide and tall, making people feel their insignificance deeply when they are in it.
On the surrounding tall walls, huge reliefs are carved, recording the entire process of Chen Mo's leadership of the Knights to kill werewolves and conquer Europe.
The whole temple is deep and heavy, solemn and solemn, and being in it, one can't help but feel awe, and the expression becomes solemn and solemn.
Although the whole temple is mainly black, the interior of the main hall does not appear too dark.
There are dozens of wide glass windows on the dome of the main hall and on the surrounding tall walls. The sunlight from the outside poured into the entire hall from the top of the high temple through these windows.
Above the main hall, dozens of wide black stone steps are connected to a wide platform, and a tall and majestic black throne is located in the middle of the platform, that is the throne of God belonging to Chen Mo.
The gate of the temple has been closed since the day it was built, and no one can enter the temple, but today is very different.
At this time, in this magnificent and magnificent hall, hundreds of temple knights wearing silver heavy armor and engraved with the emblem of the nine-headed dragon on their chests are standing neatly on the right side below the throne.
On the other side, there are hundreds of nobles who are gorgeously dressed and graceful, standing silently with their heads bowed respectfully.
They are the major city lords, governors, and the main administrative officials of the various departments of the empire. They are the people with outstanding ability selected by Chen Mo from the many nobles who have taken refuge in. They manage the vast territory of the empire for him. kind of government.
The noon sun came in from the huge glass window above, and projected dozens of huge golden beams of light in this vast and towering hall. Those bright golden beams added a sacredness to the black hall. and magnificent.
Chen Mo sat on the high platform with his back against the throne, quietly looking down at the thousands of courtiers below.
