Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

The king always has endless political affairs to deal with during the day.

Since the temple's existence, many believers who suffered injustice would directly file a complaint with the temple. There were even murderers who confessed to the statue, hoping to have the gods forgive their sins, only to be caught red-handed by knights lying in ambush.

This shows that the temple that has accompanied the empire for thousands of years is not completely useless.

only......

The rotten flesh that needs to be dug out must be dug out. If it is not done right, the empire will only go to its doom.

The system was still undergoing reconstruction. He had established offices in various cities across the empire, taking over the functions of the original temples. Because these were new institutions, he, the king, had to personally monitor and exert pressure to ensure the implementation of policies.

Though the gods were dead, those who depended on them yearned for a comeback, especially the established nobles, who had amassed vast wealth thanks to the gods' favor.

Without the gods, his source of income would be cut off. You can imagine how big the backlash would be.

The Hutt family...

It is the leading family among them.

He didn't know that the two nobles, Hutt and Xilai, who had fought each other to the death and were incompatible with each other in the past, would actually shake hands and make peace one day.

If their ancestors knew about this, they would probably point fingers at them and scold them for being unfilial.

It can be seen that there are no absolute enemies in the world, but there are no common interests.

Hurt is a loyal believer of light, while Seeley is a believer of darkness. They were both trying to gain power and money for themselves before, and their different goals naturally led to a life-and-death struggle.

He took advantage of the death of the gods to directly cut off the source of their troubles, declared their gods dead, completely blocked their way forward, and caught them off guard.

Now, the believers who were forcibly suppressed are ready to fight back, and the forces in the dark have accumulated and are waiting to launch the final attack on him.

There is a sense of urgency that the true purpose will be revealed.

The king put down his presentation, feeling a little tired. Where would they begin?

Finé had been sent out of the royal city by her. With the witch around, there was no need to worry about her safety.

Unfortunately, the Queen had a bad relationship with the witch, and letting her leave with Shen Jin would be torture for her. He was also worried that if the Queen angered Shen Jin, her life would be in danger, so he had to keep her in the palace for protection.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The queen waved away the maid's message and walked to the study herself, carrying a bowl of sweet soup.

The king was resting on the dragon throne, his hair streaked with gray, his eyes growing cloudy.

Due to his hard work, he looked much older than his peers and was already an elderly king.

The queen approached step by step, carrying the soup, but the image of the young king kept flooding into her mind.

The heir was imposing and ambitious, the most dazzling eagle in the empire. His eyes were once blazing, reflecting everything in their depths.

The queen suddenly thought of herself and wondered if she also had a few more white hairs.

The king watched her arrive and smiled familiarly, "Why did you bring it here in person?"

Then she seemed to complain, "I thought you resented me, staying in your palace all day and didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore."

He was indeed a good king and tried hard to be a good husband.

The Queen placed the sweet soup on the desk and sat down on the chair next to him: "How could that be? Your Majesty, I love you the most."

Her eyes fell on the unclosed letter, and her pupils dilated.

The Hutt family's power has grown tremendously, and their members live in every city in the empire.

Although they are not the direct branch of the main line, they also use the surname Hutt and consider themselves members of the tribe.

She would never stand up for the side branches. In her opinion, the side branches were just slaves serving the main branch, enjoying the glory of Hutt. It was not a pity to die, as there would be many people joining the main branch.

But she saw the king's approval.

"Your Majesty, when you confiscated their property, why did you make their names known to the entire nation?"

In the past, he would remove the Hutt surname from them and punish them as civilians.

The king paused holding the sweet soup and put it down.

"Now that the god is dead, Hurt shouldn't be recruiting followers in the name of a god's messenger. By doing this, isn't he directly opposing the empire?"

"The crime of treason can only be punished in this way to serve as a warning to others."

The Queen's eyes were deep: "But Your Majesty, do you remember that I am also from the Hutt family?"

"You, but you are not my queen?"

The king still had a smile on his face. "In the past, you didn't believe in God, and you were ignored by the Hutt family, so you came to me. Why do you need to plead for them now?"

He paused, thinking of the obstacles he had set for the Hutt family in the court recently, and then he understood: "Your father and brother have come to you?"

"Don't worry about it. Just let them come to me in the future."

The Queen's hand, holding the sweet soup, froze in mid-air. She suddenly remembered how, in order to secure her position, she had always considered herself his confidant...

After ten or twenty years, the king has become convinced of it.

A smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and she said, "Your Majesty, try this soup. Is it still the same as you remember?"

"I haven't done that in a while."

"it is good!"

......

Shen Jin wandered with Finé to fulfill his goal as a bard.

Both of them were wearing long linen skirts and walking across the dry and cracked land.

“Why is there a drought?”

Finé squatted down, her fingertips touching the cracked earth. Not far from her, several farmers looked worried. Their faces had been sunburned to a brownish red.

The farmer was old and was kneeling on the farmland, making the most standard prayer posture, praying to the gods for rain.

Before technology could interfere with nature, natural disasters were an unsolvable problem. They had no other options but to place their hopes on an unknown god.

Finé heard their prayers and held Shen Jin's hand tightly: "Is this really a punishment from God?"

"But teacher, you said there are no gods here."

"Then why do they have to encounter this?"

Shen Jin didn't say anything, but just walked step by step with Finie.

They came to a distance of a thousand meters.

This is actually a very close distance.

There is a castle there, owned by the Duke of Cili.

Just a kilometer away, there are green trees and the excess water is channeled into fountains, becoming part of the decoration.

"Disasters are the result of an imbalance in energy, and we currently don't have the conditions to intervene."

Shen Jin and Finé kicked open the castle door.

Amidst the whistling sound, she led Finé closer step by step. The white jade tiles, the laughing crowd, the clear water spraying high into the sky, and the curved rainbow were comparable to heaven.

"But there is always a way out."

"There should have been a glimmer of hope amidst the disaster, but you see, they blocked it."

"You, what are you doing! I am the Duke, this is my territory, how dare you two lowly people trespass?"

The noise of the gate being kicked open attracted the attention of the castle owner, a middle-aged nobleman in gorgeous clothes, who confidently led his guards forward to drive them away.

"Look."

Shen Jin laughed and said, "There's no need to reason with this kind of scum."

So she clenched her right fist and attacked the crowd directly.

Finé's eyes widened.

Just, that's it?
