No one knows what exactly Allen and Princess Lana talked about, let alone what kind of agreement they reached.
But just one day later, Kingdom's envoy left Ye Lan Tyr and embarked on the journey back to Royal Capital.
Watching the gorgeously decorated carriage disappear at the end of the main road, Artoria finally couldn't help but ask, "Allen, are you sure you want to do this? Isn't it too despicable?"
"Despicable?" Allen smiled and shook his head. "No! We are trying to save the nine million civilians in this country who are oppressed by the Decay aristocratic class at the cost of minimal casualties. In addition, isn't the crown what you desire most in your heart? Although you say you have let go of your past obsessions, are you still unwilling in your heart? Believe me, only by saving and reshaping this country can you truly get rid of that painful and desperate memory."
"You... how do you know this?!" Saber's eyes widened in surprise.
At this moment, she felt as if she had no clothes on and was standing naked in front of the other person. All her secrets and thoughts were seen through.
"Don't forget, I am your Master, and I know very well what you have gone through. Some things are not just easy to let go of. What do you need to do to compensate for the subconscious guilt. So go ahead and do it. I believe you will not fall in the same place twice." Allen gently patted the girl's shoulder and encouraged her.
You don't need to ask to know that he plans to use Princess Lana, the mole, to have Artoria disguise himself as a man again and ascend the throne as King's illegitimate son.
As for the process, it is also very simple.
First find a way to kill the two Prince who have the right to inherit, and finally use magic to hint and control King to make him recognize the illegitimate child in public.
In this way, when old King dies, the last male bloodline of this royal family will naturally become the only successor.
By then, with Princess Lana's brains and Saber's force and leadership ability, clearing out those Decay nobles will be as easy as eating and drinking.
"Save a Kingdom who is in crisis?" Artoria had a longing look on his face.
After a while, she sighed slightly and said, "I don't know if I can do a good job. But thank you anyway for giving me such an opportunity. Don't worry, I will not evade responsibility and will try my best to do my best."
"Relax, there is no need to be so nervous. You are not alone this time, I will find enough helpers for you." Allen said meaningfully.
"Are you referring to the young princess?" Saber asked in an uncertain tone.
Allen nodded without thinking, "Well! She is a very smart and talented woman. In terms of the means of governing and ruling the country, there is probably no one in this world who can do it better than her."
"I have never doubted Lana's talent. But her behavior and thoughts make me feel uncomfortable." Artoria frowned subconsciously.
Through a short conversation, she had seen how powerful this Golden Princess was, but she was full of disgust and contempt for the behavior of betraying his sellers and friends without mercy.
Upon hearing this slightly "childish" remark, Allen immediately corrected her. "You don't need to like her, you just need to use her talents.
Remember those books I told you to read?
A qualified ruler will never let personal preferences affect his judgment.
Instead, the right people will be sent to the right positions, and laws and rules will be used to restrict everyone's behavior.
Reward if you do well, punish if you make mistakes.
Only in this way can the entire country become orderly, develop rapidly, and enter a state of prosperity.
What's more, Princess Lana's situation is a little different.
Although she has a human body, her way of thinking is closer to that of a monster. "
"Understood! I will work hard to overcome this psychological rejection." Saber nodded thoughtfully.
After all, she is no longer the King Arthur in history. She has learned a lot of knowledge about modern society and will never make those stupid mistakes again.
Just a few days after Kingdom Delegation left, the empire's envoys also negotiated and entered Yelan Tyr, the border fortress city they had always wanted to capture.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but Slane Theocracy's team also passed through the city gate at almost the same time.
Since the two countries have been very close in the past few years, Bloody Emperor immediately had a lively conversation with High Priest, who was leading the team, which made the mayor in charge of the reception quite uneasy and frightened.
If possible, he hoped that these two enemies who were eyeing Kingdom would get out of here as soon as possible.
But unfortunately, in front of Slane Theocracy, who is the oldest and most powerful human being and regards himself as Guardians as a race and civilization, let alone a mere mayor, he has to bow his head obediently even if King comes.
In this way, both parties were talking and laughing, and came to the gate of the Hunter Association hand in hand.
Seeing the endless flow of people coming in and out of the hall, Bloody Emperor immediately pretended to be moved and praised, "Your Excellency Allen is truly the light of hope for mankind! He was able to develop a newly founded organization to such an extent in such a short period of time. Although we have never seen it before, we sincerely admire his spirit of dedication for the entire human race."
"Your Majesty, I completely agree with your point of view. In this world, there are still too many monsters and Alien Race that threaten the survival of mankind, want to destroy our cities and villages, and turn us back to the state of bullying and oppression six hundred years ago. Therefore, only by uniting can we defeat those powerful enemies. What Hunter Association is doing now is to give those warriors a sharp sword to kill monsters and Alien Race and defend the interests of mankind."
High Priest Although he looks very old, he still sounds sonorous and powerful when he says these words.
On the way here, he had already heard the remarks made by Allen not long ago, and he must have believed in his heart that this was the seventh god that the state religion was looking for.
As long as it is confirmed that the other party is a player, the subordinate propaganda agencies will immediately take action and start a vigorous god-making campaign.
"That's right! That's why I came all the way here in person, hoping to open a branch in Ouvientale, the capital of the empire. You should know best that the pressure from monsters and Alien Race we face is much greater than Kingdom." Bloody Emperor hinted meaningfully.
High Priest instantly understood the thoughts of the young Emperor in front of him, and responded with a smile, "Of course! I completely understand your thoughts and also support this reasonable request. The most important thing is, Ye Lan Tyr The surrounding land should have belonged to Theocracy, but it was later occupied by the Kingdom. I think that since Hunter Association intends to shoulder the important task of defending human interests, it should be given a piece of land as support."
"Yeah! I think Ye Lan Tyr is good. How about our two countries join forces to put pressure on the Kingdom and ask them to hand over this illegally occupied city and let Hunter Association take charge of the management." Bloody Emperor pursed his lips and revealed a playful smile.
"It's great that Your Majesty thinks so! You are indeed the wisest monarch since the establishment of the empire."
After getting the answer he wanted, High Priest immediately complimented the other party.
"No, no, no, the empire cannot be what it is today without the support of Theocracy."
"That's so kind of you!"
In just a few sentences, Bloody Emperor and High Priest completed a political transaction.
Immediately afterwards, the two took the lead into the crowded and noisy hall. Under the guidance of Sakura's projection, they followed Mercury Staircase to the room on the second floor.
This time, Allen did not receive the other party on the island located at Azerath, but in a room filled with various magic weapons, equipment, potions and props.
As soon as he walked in the door, Bloody Emperor was almost blinded by the dazzling and gorgeous magic halo.
I saw countless shelves densely packed in a huge basement.
On the shelves, there are various magic items including various armors, armors, weapons, accessories, rings and necklaces, and there are so many colorful potions that you can't see the end at a glance.
The only thing these things have in common is that they all contain amazing magical energy, which can be clearly felt even from more than ten meters away.
"Are you... kidding? Can someone pinch me? I want to make sure it's not an illusion of my eyes."
One of the Four Knights of the Empire, "Thunderlight" Bajud Peshmel opened his mouth in shock.
He can guarantee that even the wealth of the emperor's treasury and treasure house cannot be compared to one ten thousandth of the wealth here.
"Shut up! Don't embarrass yourself here."
Four Knights of the Empire The only woman - "Heavy Blast" Renas·Rockbruise stepped on her colleague hard and scolded in a low voice.
As for High Priest on the side, after seeing this, he immediately determined that the harmless-looking boy in front of him was a player.
Because except for players, it is impossible for anyone in this world to have such a huge collection.
Not only that!
Even if all the weapons and equipment of Six Gods and Eight Greed Kings are put together, they are not more than one-tenth of what is in this room.
Many of them have obviously reached the level of Divine Artifact.
Seeing the greed and desire inadvertently revealed in the eyes of the guests, Allen gently put down the two-handed sword in his hand and said with a smile, "Sorry, I am preparing logistics supplies for the Hunter Association's hunters so that they can select and exchange them, so it is really rude to meet guests in such a place as a last resort."
"Hahahaha! No! I don't feel rude at all. On the contrary, it feels eye-opening." Bloody Emperor used a burst of hearty laughter to cover up his previous gaffe.
"I feel the same way. Your Excellency Allen, please allow me to offer you my most sincere greetings on behalf of Six Gods, and at the same time express my admiration for your actions in creating Hunter Association and defending the interests of all mankind." High Priest bent down and bowed deeply.
His action instantly caused an expression of disbelief to appear on the Imperial man's face.
Because Theocracy does not have Supreme Leader such as King or emperor, the status of High Priest is to a certain extent on the same level as the monarchs of other countries.
If coupled with strong personal strength, it even surpasses the monarchs of all human countries.
Therefore, apart from bowing to Six Gods, High Priest will never bow to any secular King or emperor.
But now, a powerful High Priest actually saluted the president of the Hunter Association!
This unusual behavior immediately aroused Bloody Emperor's vigilance and suspicion.
"No! I should express my respect to those six seniors. You must know that they led mankind out of the dark era in the most difficult period. Compared with Eight Greed Kings and Thirteen Heroes who did not know what they were called later, they are the ones who truly brought hope to the world." Allen revealed the fact that he was Transmigrator in a very obscure way.
Especially the word "senior" can make people who know the inside story immediately understand the meaning.
High Priest heard this and immediately raised his head excitedly. "You are indeed..."
"Shh! Don't say it. Just know it yourself." Allen put his right index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture.
"Understood! Please rest assured! No matter what you want to do, we at Slane Theocracy will support you unconditionally." High Priest expressed his attitude without hesitation.
"What I want to do is actually very simple! That is to destroy all countries and civilizations established by Alien Race and monsters! Let humans become the unique masters of this world. And Hunter Association is the cornerstone to achieve this goal. So whether it is an empire or Theocracy, I will open a branch to ensure that the entire human race is covered."
Allen didn't hide anything and openly expressed his inner thoughts.
Although in the original plot, Theocracy appeared as a villain at the beginning and attacked Karn Village.
I want to use this to draw out Warrior Chief from the Kingdom and get rid of it so that the empire can annex Kingdom faster.
But in fact, from a human perspective, Theocracy is an out-and-out Guardians, shouldering the responsibility of resisting powerful Alien Race and monsters.
The blood and sacrifices paid for this are more than those of other human countries combined.
Moreover, Slane Theocracy has also implemented a household registration system and a parliamentary system, which can be said to be the model closest to a modern country in the world.
Therefore, Allen planned to have in-depth cooperation with this country from the beginning.
"You mean... let all human beings get careers?!" High Priest was obviously stunned by this grand plan.
"Yes! Only in this way can we suppress the monsters, Alien Races and ferocious beasts that keep multiplying like rats to the maximum extent. Through continuous killing, humans will eventually give birth to strong ones. When the number of strong ones reaches a certain level, even the strongest Dragon Races will be pulled down from the altar and become livestock that can be slaughtered at will."
When saying these words, Allen's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
"Um... Your Excellency! May I ask what the maximum level of the profession you have given me can reach?" Bloody Emperor cautiously asked.
From the conversation between Allen and High Priest, he could already sense that the person in front of him was definitely comparable to or even stronger than Six Gods and Eight Greed Kings.
"The upper limit?" Allen rubbed his chin and made a rough estimate, and quickly replied, "If you reach the full level and learn to use Life Energy, it should be enough to pose a threat to guys like Eight Greed Kings. Of course, this is just speculation. I need a clear reference."
