Chapter 124 Queen Selena
In the magnificent temple in the middle of the imperial capital, hundreds of temple knights in heavy armor, and almost the same number of nobles wearing luxurious robes, stood neatly and quietly under the high platform.
There are thousands of people on both sides of the huge array, but only a small area is occupied in this huge and magnificent temple.
Hundreds of meters high, huge stone pillars with several people hugging each other, occupying the entire wall, even if you raise your head hard, you can't see the whole picture. There is also a huge relief sculpture made of black stone in front of them, more than ten meters high and nearly 100 meters wide. The huge stone platform connected by dozens of wide steps made these thousands of people deeply feel their own insignificance. In front of Chen Mo, who was high on the throne, they felt that they were like ants, humble and insignificant.
After all, there is a real god sitting on that throne! And they are just a bunch of mortals.
Chen Mo summoned all the ministers in this temple, which he had never been to since it was built. Naturally, there was something important to announce.
Looking at the people standing with their heads bowed and solemn below, Chen Mo on the throne had a solemn face, and said slowly with recollection in secret.
"It has been eight years since I came into this world."
Chen Mo's majestic voice sounded in the temple, and thousands of people standing neatly below the temple could clearly hear every word he said.
"Now that the werewolves are gone, the continent is unified, and my people live in peace."
"I should go back too."
The people below listened to what Chen Mo said, and they were still full of reminiscence and reverence. When they heard that, when Chen Mo said that he was leaving, they were all surprised.
"Owner!"
"His Majesty!"
Chen Mo is their belief. Their loyal master has been leading them forward and guiding them. Now, he suddenly said that he would leave, which made the people below feel at a loss for a while and fell into incomparable panic and confusion.
Seeing this, Chen Mo frowned slightly, raised his right hand and pressed it lightly, the chaotic people below instantly became quiet, and looked at Chen Mo on the throne with hesitation, their god, their emperor, is going to leave them?
However, some people also reacted slowly. Their emperor is not an ordinary person, but a true god from the heavens, and it is impossible to stay in the world forever.
Now the entire continent of Europe has been unified, the werewolves have been eliminated, war, hunger, poverty are all a thing of the past, hardships and hardships, the days of precariousness are gone.
God has rescued His people from despair and brought them a stable and prosperous life. Naturally, it is time to return to the kingdom of heaven. After all, that is the kingdom of God.
Without caring about the people below, Chen Mo raised his head and turned his attention to the gate opposite the main hall.
"Selena!"
Chen Mo's voice was majestic and grand.
As Chen Mo's voice fell, the door of the hall slammed open, and dazzling light came in from the outside. The whole door was like a golden door of light, dazzling and holy.
Under the gaze of thousands of people in the hall, a petite figure slowly walked out of the holy light.
Selena was wearing a holy and elegant white long dress with soft golden hair draped behind her head, walking slowly towards the crowd with light footsteps.
The two rows of huge stone pillars in the middle of the hall formed a wide passage. Selena's small figure crossed the rows of stone pillars, passed between the knights and officials, and came under the stone platform.
Everyone on both sides looked at Selena with puzzled expressions, not understanding what Chen Mo did when he summoned her.
Only standing under the high platform, and the four Andrews at the front of the crowd, calmly looked at little Selena with a small face, walking past them, and was climbing towards the high platform. There was no surprise on their faces. color.
Selena held the skirt in her little hands and stepped onto the high platform step by step, before Chen Mo.
Looking at the petite and beautiful little Selena in front of him, Chen Mo's majestic face showed a kind look, he slowly stood up from the throne, and put his right hand on Selena's small head.
In the suspicious eyes of the people below,
Chen Mo's low and majestic voice sounded slowly.
"In my name, today, Selena is canonized as the saintess of the temple, to rule the temple, and to be my apostle in the world."
Hearing Chen Mo's canonization, the people below who had just recovered from the shock of Chen Mo's imminent departure were not too surprised.
Chen Mo had not paid much attention to the temple and beliefs before. This temple was built under the auspices of Andrew and others.
Now that Chen Mo is about to leave, it is reasonable to choose a devout believer to be canonized as a saint and to spread his faith for him.
However, what Chen Mo said next shocked them.
"The throne of the empire is held by the saintess. Today, Selena is crowned as the queen of the empire!"
As the majestic voice echoed in the hall, Chen Mo raised his hands, took out a gorgeous crown inlaid with diamonds from the void, and gently put it on Selena's head.
The city lords and officials below looked at the little Selena who was put on the crown by Chen Mo, and many people's eyes flashed with incomprehensible rays of light.
Originally, when Chen Mo was in power, they were still very afraid of the emperor who was as strong as a god and defeated and conquered them, and they did not dare to have any thoughts that they should not have.
Chen Mo's later titles of nobility based on their achievements were not high, and they did not have the right to recruit soldiers, so they honestly served Chen Mo with peace of mind.
It's just that Chen Mo now claims to be leaving and passed the throne to a teenage girl, which makes many people who are only afraid of Chen Mo's power have strange thoughts in their hearts.
They are willing to surrender to Chen Mo. Although many people do not believe in Chen Mo's identity as a god, it does not affect their fear and obedience to Chen Mo at all.
But a teenage girl wanted to be their queen, but she couldn't make them obey willingly and dedicate their loyalty like Chen Mo.
Just when many people's eyes flashed, Andrew, Victor, Amelia and Marcus, who were at the front of the queue, fell to one knee when Chen Mo's voice just fell. , shouting loudly.
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
Behind them, hundreds of temple knights naturally have no doubts about Chen Mo's decision. Now that Selena has been canonized by Chen Mo as the Holy Maiden of the Temple, the Queen of the Empire, she is the one they need to protect and obey.
"Crash! Crash!"
Following Andrew and the others, hundreds of powerful temple knights in heavy armor knelt on the ground neatly, shouting loudly.
"Long live Your Highness!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
The deafening voice echoed throughout the hall, causing the hearts of the noble officials standing beside them to throb, and it seemed that breathing became a little difficult.
Many nobles with different thoughts looked at the tall, powerful and imposing temple knights on the opposite side, and wisely erased the thoughts that had just popped up in their minds.
There are these terrifying temple knights who are invincible and invincible for Chen Mo, who are so loyal to Chen Mo, who have conquered the entire European continent for him, plus the assistance of the four dukes who hold most of the power of the empire, no one can shake it. This little girl who came out of nowhere was the queen.
That being the case, why would they kill themselves by hitting a stone with an egg? They are actually quite satisfied with their current life, and more rights are not within their grasp.
So, after a group of temple knights, the city lords and officials who were in charge of administrative affairs across the empire also fell to their knees and shouted.
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"
The performance of the people below Chen Mo was all in their eyes. For those city owners and officials, Chen Mo did not take it to heart, nor did he have the slightest worry.
No matter how powerful they were once they were counts, marquis or dukes, and how powerful they were, but now, they are just ordinary administrative officials who can manage local affairs and handle government affairs for Chen Mo.
Among them, the highest title is now a viscount, and many more do not even have a title. This is entirely based on their political achievements and performance.
People with excellent ability and loyal enough, Chen Mo doesn't mind giving them higher titles, or even transforming them into vampires, but unfortunately, apart from Victor, none of them are so good or loyal enough.
It's just that they need their help to manage this huge empire now, and Chen Mo doesn't care about their loyalty.
After all, even if they want to rebel, they need to have enough strength, but obviously, they do not have the strength to threaten the empire.
They have absolutely no access to military power, and administrative power is also checked and balanced against each other.
Therefore, their only choice is to do their job well and accumulate merits in order to obtain higher rewards, money, titles, fiefs, these are the real things they can seek.
At the same time, Chen Mo has already made other arrangements for this. The war is over, and the loyal knights of the Temple Knights no longer need to fight to kill the enemy.
In the past three years, in addition to being responsible for training new troops, they have been learning cultural knowledge and cultivating administrative capabilities under the arrangement of Chen Mo. After all, most of them have no experience in managing places and dealing with government affairs. A lot of people don't even know the word.
However, for vampires, the most important thing is time. They have enough time to learn slowly, and eventually they will grow enough to take on the burden of being the lord of a city. At that time, they will replace these officials and take charge of the entire empire.
These officials will be rewarded according to their performance, return to their manor, enjoy their retirement, or become a new vampire, really join the ranks of the rulers of the empire.
To die on a gorgeous bed, or to gain immortality with a scepter, it all depends on their own choice.
