May 22nd——
History books of later generations are destined to record this day.
The first human Eternal Pope Aiwas married Queen Isabel I of Avalon in the Church State. Humans entered the Holy of Holies for the first time. Queen Avalon ascended the throne under the witness of the current Eternal Pope. The New Helasar Empire was established. Empress Julia proclaimed herself emperor and issued the "New Helasar Declaration"...
--The next day, newspapers around the world went crazy.
Anyone who has read a book knows what kind of big event this is. For most people, this event is even bigger than the advent of the Fallen Angels——In fact, only the Star Antimony people can feel the advent of the Fallen Angels, and this event spread throughout the Helasar countries in just one day.
Avalon, Star Antimony, Iris...even the elves of the Church and the trolls and goblins of the southern continent are discussing this matter; the ancient Parthian Kingdom was alarmed, and several good lords sent envoys to Avalon at the first time, and even the distant Taichu Empire sent a long congratulatory letter with a ceremony.
For a while, the whole world was probably only the dwarves living in seclusion in the mountains of the Northland who didn't know about this.
For the people of Avalon, this is undoubtedly a good thing-
Although Avalon has been merged into the New Helasar Empire, it does not mean that Avalon will lose their queen.
According to the rules of the New Helasar, the new Helasar Empire no longer has nobles. Isabel has also given up the royal power, but the core ruling power of the Avalon region is still the Round Table Hall...but the original Round Table Hall was only for knights to enter, and now it needs to go through a round of popular elections to let the unpopular knights come down and let some civilians enter.
As a matter of course, as the beloved queen and the granddaughter of Queen Sofia who is even more beloved, Isabel will inevitably be selected into the new cabinet. Her words and deeds still have a huge influence... but now she will no longer be the core of the country.
As for the diamond crown blessed by the crown master at the coronation ceremony, Isabel is now placed in the round table hall - on the seat where the queen originally sat.
As a symbol of authority and the incarnation of the silver-crowned dragon, it supervises the meetings of the round table hall.
Therefore, at least for the people of Avalon, there is almost nothing unacceptable about the reforms of the new era. Moreover, the three kinds of paper money issued by Avalon - white coins, red coins and copper coins, themselves symbolize the silver-crowned dragon, the candle and the sand clock, and so do the beliefs of New Herasl...
The only difference is that the order has changed.
The currency of New Herasl will become the gold coin represented by the sand clock, the silver coin represented by the silver-crowned dragon, and the copper coin represented by the candle in the order of respect. The Mint has printed new banknotes and coins according to the new currency designed by Isabel herself. It is expected that the first batch of new coins will be produced within a week. After that, currency exchange business will be opened in all parts of New Helasel, and the old currency will be exchanged for the new currency at a certain preferential rate. This currency inflation will accelerate the replacement of the old currency.
As for the law, it is basically adjusted based on the laws of Avalon - the new regulations will be based on the laws of Avalon and Star Antimony, eliminating a large number of unnecessary laws. The same is true for taxes, which have been significantly reduced.
In Avalon, the only ones who are not very adaptable to this reform are the arbitrators of the Arbitration Hall. According to the rules of the Arbitration Hall, they need to reduce diplomacy as much as possible and alienate others to ensure that their arbitration will not be forgiven due to personal feelings. Now they must also show their faces in order to maintain their position in the Round Table Hall... Even so, a group of arbitrators are destined to leave the Round Table Hall.
Therefore, for most Avalonians, they believe that the New Herasl Empire was rebuilt with Avalon as the main body - Yulia herself grew up in Avalon, and so did her brother Aiwas; and her sister-in-law is Isabel, the last queen of the Kingdom of Avalon.
No matter how you look at it, they are all family members!
In Star Antimony, the resistance to reform is unexpectedly small - this is mainly due to the first generation of Red Prime Minister and Fallen Angel.
The two of them basically killed almost all the nobles of Star Antimony. Now the political situation of Star Antimony is in chaos, and the unemployment rate is conservatively estimated to be as high as 60%. More than 80% of the areas of the entire Star Antimony have been completely paralyzed.
Public security, taxation, government affairs and various public health services have been completely suspended - most people have stopped working. Therefore, if you are sick or injured, you can't find a doctor or a priest; the shops on the street have been robbed and smashed, and the remaining shops, unless they are opened by extraordinary people, are basically closed for safety; no one can put out the fires caused by fighting or malicious arson, and can only wait for natural heavy rains.
It is almost impossible to withdraw money from the bank - after many banks were robbed, you have to make an appointment many days in advance to withdraw money from the bank, and you have to go through a rather rough search and suppression before you can withdraw money in a closed environment. And there is a high probability that you will be greeted by poor people who are waiting for you as soon as you go out.
A large number of counterfeit coins began to become popular in the market. Most of them were crudely made and could be said to be fake at first glance; but there were also many real counterfeit coins mixed in - they all came from the private coin factory of the former Count of Leipzig, which was the real reason why the Count of Leipzig could always generously treat all talents generously: he gave them all fake gold coins that he had minted himself and could be mistaken for the real thing.
It’s just that Count Leipzig was relatively cautious when minting counterfeit coins - he would launder them through a channel before using them, and he didn’t dare to mint too many at a time, fearing that it would disrupt the market. But now Count Leipzig is dead, but his private coin factory is still open... Now that Star Antimony has become so chaotic, who cares about the future?
I don’t even know if there will be a future!
So the unrestrained printing of coins caused the entire Star Antimony market to collapse. The prices on the surface have generally risen by 30% in just over a month... but most things are not available. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but that no one is selling it. In the black market, the price has exceeded three times.
For the remaining Star Antimony people, it is impossible for them to trust their king anymore - anyway, Valentine VII who became a ghost, Valentine VIII who became the Son of the Moon... and the mother of that VIII, the queen of the VIII, welcomed the Fallen Angel and turned into a succubus Louise, all made it impossible for people to have any good feelings towards the Valentine family, and it can even be said that they were completely embarrassed.
At this point, the currency and economy of Xingtan can no longer be saved, and the only way is to completely overthrow and reissue the currency. In this case, it is a blessing to be able to merge into New Helasel - perhaps only in this way can they survive.
Aiwas believes that Princess Noel is one of the few old royals who really wants Xingtan to get better. Her most loyal clown Lalo is indeed a prime minister with strong political skills.
But the problem now is that the train has fallen into the abyss. No matter how capable people are, they can't press the brakes.
She tried for more than half a month and found desperately that she could do nothing - or, she originally had a way to try to save it, but not many people were willing to listen to her.
Her unconditional joining of New Helasel essentially means the demise of the Xingtan Kingdom. But at least it was not destroyed by the Iris people, which is a kind of comfort.
Therefore, some Xingtan people believe that the resignation of the Valentine family is justified; although a few people think this is a traitorous act...However, how can returning to the Helasel Empire be considered traitorous?
The Avalonians do not have such a strong sense of belonging to the Helasar Empire. After all, the original founders of the country, the Knights of the Round Table, were pioneering knights who came out to fight against the giants because they did not like the atmosphere of Helasar.
But Xingti is different...
According to Xingti's cultural education, they have always regarded themselves as the orthodoxy of the Helasar Empire - the costumes of Xingti nobles are almost the same as those of the late Helasar Empire. Whether it is music, paintings, clothing, jewelry... all are the last style of the Helasar Empire, and there has been no correction or change for hundreds of years.
This is also the fundamental reason why Xingti's aesthetics and art have hardly developed: What identity do you have to be qualified to engage in artistic innovation? Can you be as awesome as your ancestors? Can your power alone surpass the thousand-year tradition of the Helasar Empire?
—— Innovation that no one recognizes is naturally equivalent to "mistakes".
The influence of this group of traditional returnists is very large in Xingti. They themselves are the ones who encouraged the Helasar Empire to merge again... and now that the opportunity has come, they will naturally continue to suppress other factions. Originally, their enemy was the royal family, but now even the royal family is on their side.
As for the opening of the path - Xingti is the country with the most open path. The only thing that they can't accept is the "supernatural registration system".
Because they don't trust the original Xingti royal family, nobles and the son of the moon, they are very worried about the leakage of their information.
Any battle in the supernatural field is essentially an intelligence war before there is an overwhelming gap. At least it must be three against one of the same level, two against one of the higher level, or two energy levels higher than the opponent to be considered a crushing victory. And if you can hide your path, profession and energy level, it is very likely to defeat the opponent with the weak.
In other words, if the energy level and profession they registered are leaked, the opponent will arrange assassinations in a way to restrain him, and they will have almost no ability to resist; the restraint relationship in this world is too obvious.
At present, Xingti's greatest resistance to the New Helaser Empire is here - and in fact, their worries are right. Because Aiwas taught Yulia to collect information and intelligence from all people, just to make targeted strategies to ensure that every supernatural can be suppressed and arrested.
But soon people will realize that the enforcement of this law is actually quite lax.
It is not like Avalon, where any illegal supernatural person can be arrested or even killed, but another mode - for example, if you only register the profession of second-level wizard, then you cannot use third-level spells or other supernatural abilities in public, otherwise it will violate the safety law and need to be fined, imprisoned or "compulsory labor" to punish according to the impact.
The so-called compulsory labor is actually to recruit.
It is impossible to let the upper supernatural above the fourth level sweep the streets.
In other words, this law is not so strict - even if you really use illegal abilities without registration, at least you will not be sentenced to death. In this way, it is actually equivalent to suppressing the possibility of abusing supernatural abilities in disguise...
It is probably equivalent to the punishment for drunk driving. As long as there are no serious consequences, the punishment will not be too severe; if there are any consequences, the punishment will be increased; and with this decree as an excuse and deterrent, there is a reason not to drink or not to drink randomly, thus optimizing the atmosphere of the whole society.
There was no reaction from the Black Eagle Territory either - they have been a vassal state for more than a hundred years, and the only difference is who they are sons to. At least the new father looks rich and powerful, not only reasonable and cultured, but also very gentle to them. That's enough.
Narcissus Territory is a little stuck.
Because the one who really has the right to join the New Helaser Empire is the descendant of the Narcissus Duke - the pure-blooded little princess of the Moon's Son. She was supposed to be in Star Antimony, but she could no longer be found after Star Antimony fell into chaos. The mages wanted to enter, but they couldn't, and they were almost dying of anxiety.
And the only one who had strong resistance and disgust to the New Helaser Empire was the Iris People.
Or more precisely - the Moon Children of Iris.
