Chapter 437: Divine right of kings, the legal principle of witch rule! (Please subscribe)
“Great Lord!”
“I pray for your blessing and offer you generous sacrifices!”
“You are everything The source is the beginning and end of all things, the master of all mysteries!”
“.”
The wet, muddy, and dangerous swamp should have been a forbidden area for humans. However, at this moment, after several months of hard work and the death and disappearance of a large number of prisoners of war, a prototype of a magnificent pyramid-like building was built from huge stones. , appeared in the swamp.
There is no doubt that this is a miracle formed by human power.
Ignoring the many captives, laborers, soldiers maintaining order, and majestic knights who are still busy, on the high platform of the pyramid, the carefully selected girls are singing loudly in praise. language.
They have beautiful faces and wear pure white clothes, which is in sharp contrast to the swamp environment, as if they have emerged from the mud and are not stained.
On both sides of the pyramid, there are burning fire pillars filled with fuel. While creating a sacred atmosphere, they also drive away mosquitoes and other creatures from the jungle.
After all, for humans, fire is always the most effective method against beasts.
A year has passed, and the witch's appearance is no different from before. After all, she prayed to Chen Shou for witchcraft to maintain her appearance, but the decorations on her body are completely different.
At this time, she was still naked, exposing her snow-white feet, but the clothes that were originally woven from vines and bark turned into expensive silk, and she was jingled with gold and silver. The accessories are even more sparkling.
Of course, what is more eye-catching is the crown she wears on her head, which looks like a crown made of thorns.
Step by step, walk towards the pyramid.
Behind her were two teams of strong warriors carrying boxes, and a skeleton warrior who followed silently, with many traces of battle on his body.
"Master!"
"Witch King!"
"."
Everywhere he passed, soldiers, prisoners of war, or laborers were all Kneeling down on the ground voluntarily or forcedly, like wheat being harvested, and instantly became shorter by a large amount.
Showing great power and strength.
The witch ignored these people and walked directly onto the high platform, past the girls singing hymns, and stood in the central area.
Bang!
One by one, the strong warriors put down the boxes and opened them one by one. What was revealed inside were various items.
From the perspective of ordinary people, most of these items seem useless, and some can even be classified as garbage. But if you look at it from the perspective of a mystic, each of these items above, all shimmering with mysterious light.
These are the mysterious items that the witch obtained after breaking into a large number of noble territories and plundering their collections in more than a year.
And she obviously also understood what she really relied on to go from an ordinary farm girl to where she is today, so after the situation stabilized a little, she couldn't wait to start this grand event. of sacrifice.
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs!
This principle is the same in other worlds.
The witch is no longer satisfied with her current status, she wants to go one step further and become the king of everyone!
But it's not an easy task. As the territory expanded, a large number of people were included in the rule, including some former nobles and knights. The witch deeply felt that it was no longer feasible to use fear to rule as before.
Fear can only deceive the ignorant people, and is no longer effective for the original and current ruling class.
Many nobles know the existence of mysterious power and even keep mysterious items, so the mystery of the witch is actually just that to them, unless she is powerful enough that one person can suppress countless people , otherwise she must rely on others to maintain her rule.
However, this involves a problem, that is, legal rationality.
If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.
In this world, aristocratic rule is taken for granted. Although the witch used mystical power to temporarily change this status quo, she still cannot change this deep-rooted concept in the minds of countless people.
Before this, she was just an ordinary peasant girl with no connection with the nobility, so she naturally had no legal basis for such rule.
Strong power can rule for a while, but not for a long time.
Because this means that if other people also have strong power, they can rebel at any time without any psychological burden. The one with strong soldiers and horses is the emperor!
Therefore, witches must find a legal basis for their rule, preferably one that will silence everyone and convince them.
Some people under her command suggested that she marry other great nobles and recruit them as "royal husbands". In this way, when they give birth to children, the offspring will naturally have the legal basis to rule. and rights.
Then the suggester was thrown into the swamp by the witch.
Because this is simply harboring evil intentions!
The reason why the witch has her current status is due to her followers who carved up the noble land, servants, and wealth. At the same time, they are also the witch's strongest supporters, because before this, these people were just Slaves, freemen, or fallen knights.
These people are also the group of people who are most opposed to aristocratic rule.
If a witch chooses to marry a noble, it will be tantamount to betraying her own base. Fear and suspicion will breed, and rebellion will follow!
Not to mention that the witch alone is weak compared to any noble family. Once she marries the other party, she will lead the wolf into the house. Once she loses power or dies, she will make a wedding dress for others. .
But if the legal principle of rule is not sought from the aristocratic status, then there is only one other direction that the witch can choose:
Divine power!
The divine power of kings governs the people in the name of God.
So she took this opportunity to gather people to build an altar. The sacrifice was not only to please the master and make the other party satisfied with her behavior, so as to give more rewards, but also to push the other party to the altar. Consolidate your rule.
In her mind, it's a win-win.
After placing the sacrifices, she lifted up her skirt and knelt down respectfully.
In an instant, the knights standing behind him, the girls singing hymns, and the large number of followers and soldiers all knelt down like waves of wheat blown down by the wind.
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet, and only the crackling sound of the fire pillars could be heard, as well as the witch's high-pitched prayer:
"O mysterious master, the origin and end of all things, I pray for your coming"
< br>As the witch prayed, the surroundings became quieter and quieter. Even the chirping of birds and insects suddenly disappeared, and a green light glowed in the sky.
Everyone is waiting with bated breath.
However, at this moment, a change suddenly occurred!
A girl who was singing hymns suddenly took out a dagger and rushed towards the witch with a ferocious look on her face.
