Chapter 159 Because the King is gone (4k)

At the request of the new king, the coronation ceremony, which was as brief as possible, ended here.

However, no matter how brief the ceremony is, there will still be a lot of audience with envoys from all parties after the coronation.

Originally according to Ansha's plan, the audience with envoys from all parties was to be held directly in the audience hall.

However, this was rejected by Moon.

The reason is that many envoys did not come from very wealthy countries, and it would be difficult to accept their audience and gifts in public.

It might bring embarrassment to their country.

After all, what they consider to be gifts worthy of being presented to gods and kings may be a complete joke in the eyes of others.

It was a reasonable request and would also demonstrate the new king’s kindness.

So Ansha didn't object.

He also personally planned which envoys should come to the court in the same batch and which envoys should be separated.

After all, there are many envoys whose clan leaders are enemies behind the scenes.

Keeping them together may not be a good thing.

Moon looked at the list that Ansha had personally arranged.

From the beginning to the next whole page are people I know.

At that moment, Moon broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Ansha would have anyone think he was Trajan through and through.

But at the same time, these guys are also well-known figures.

It is not impossible that if one or two people find out the clues directly through body movements or something.

It's no joke once your identity is exposed.

So Moon is very attentive and careful about these things.
-
The first envoy to meet the emperor was an old acquaintance of Morn - Trapolis Dusk, one of the Golden Flower Lords.

Among the many messengers representing the gods, he was the first to arrive, so he was naturally ranked first.

Elves have always attached great importance to etiquette and elegance. In the past and now, human nobles basically learn from the long-eared ones.

It was also because of his presence that Morn did not wear the ring during the entire coronation ceremony.

At the instruction of the Everlasting King, the Twelve Golden Flower Lords joined forces to forge the Sword of Fools, and then the Everlasting King went to the Mountain of the End alone and forged the Lord of the Rings that truly concealed the uniqueness in the flames of hell.

It was used as a sword hoop and incorporated into the Fool's Sword for sealing and camouflage.
On this point, the Twelve Golden Flower Lords not only know about the Sword of Fool, they also know about the Lord of the Rings.

At least Roselorien knew it well.

Moon wasn't sure whether Roselorian had told them everything after all these years.

Anyway, we have to be on guard.

When he saw Trapolis walking up to him and Ansha holding an exquisite little box under the protection of the royal knights.

Although Moon seemed very relaxed, he was actually extremely alert.

Eternal King is a very early account.

Since I was not familiar with the game, it took a very long time.

Therefore, the Twelve Golden Flower Lords are one of the NPCs who have accompanied Moon the longest.

And now, not only did the NPC come back to life, he was also standing in front of him.

Morn tried very hard to recall what he had done as the Eternal King.

Try your best not to make similar actions.

Moon also wondered if he was making a big deal out of nothing.

But immediately, Moon denied this.

Because the higher the sequence, the stronger the inspiration.

In this case, if I, who am the Eternal King, really give the other party a sense of familiarity because of a certain action, then the pervasive inspiration may really bring bad things.

The same applies to the rest of the people.

"Terrapolis Dusk, one of the twelve golden flower lords, follows the great Eternal King and swears to serve the Holy Tree for life."

Under Morn's gaze and voice, Trapolis knelt on one knee and saluted:

"I am honored that you are willing to remember these things, respected Sword and Shield King! Even the elves far away from the human world have heard of your greatness and kindness."

"It is truly Baratheon's greatest fortune that you can become the king of this land and lead the people of this land, Your Majesty!"

With every character Trapolis spoke, Ansha's chest straightened up a little more.

Yes, my teacher, my king is so outstanding.

You all should take a good look at it!
Look upon the great figure of our King and offer praise and congratulations.

Moon had no reaction to Trapolis's praise.

He had heard so much praise from Lord Jinhua that his ears were almost callused.

Moon clearly remembered that it was because these elves were talking about the great king and the supreme being every day.

This made Moon feel from the bottom of his heart that these were just a group of NPCs who could only repeat their lines and flatter the players.

Who would say these things every day?
Moon just watched Trapolis's reaction carefully to see if he noticed anything wrong.

Fortunately, no problems have been seen so far.

Sure enough, in the kingdom of Dust of Light, I can still breathe a sigh of relief.

But immediately, Moon couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

Because he saw Trapolis suddenly raised his head and looked at him, and said with a slightly complicated expression:

"To be honest, Your Majesty the Sword and Shield King, you really remind me of my Majesty."

No, how did you see that I look like 'me' next to Ansha? !
Ah, damn, it seems to be right.

After a brief moment of shock, Moon burst into laughter:

"The Everlasting King, the great Everlasting King, the merciful Everlasting King. To my surprise, a Golden Flower Lord would say that I am very similar to such a great being."

"Tell me, my friend from the Holy Tree. Why do you know this?"

You said, I will change it immediately.

In response to this, Trapolis shook his head in surprise and said:
"I'm sorry, King of Sword and Shield. I, I can't tell you why. It's just that when I saw you, I thought of my majesty."

Having said this, the Golden Flower Lord fell silent.

Moen became more and more nervous. You won't react, will you? !
But on the surface, he still had to appear curious and calm as if nothing had happened.

To be honest, Moon had never encountered a time when his acting skills had to be considered so much.

And the biggest problem is that this is only the first person.
After a moment's silence, Trapolis continued:

"You are as kind and great as His Majesty. You are both supreme kings, enjoying the love of the gods alone."

"But, but you, like His Majesty, are willing to treat every mortal gently and equally."

"I was once just a humble wood elf, not a member of the high elves, and I have never witnessed the glory of the holy tree. I couldn't even get close to the Forest of Lolthlorien."

"It was Your Majesty who abolished these so-called regulations, and it was Your Majesty who discovered and accepted me as his personal follower."

"It was His Majesty who completely united the elves. His Majesty made us understand what it means to be of the same race and what love is. We have kept it in mind till now."

"If it was the Primordial who shaped the blood and bones of the elves, and the Holy Tree gave us prosperity, then His Majesty the Eternal King was the one who gave us our hearts."

“And without heart, there is no civilization.”

As he spoke, Trapolis lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry, King of Sword and Shield, I'm sorry to say this in front of you, but in front of a king as great as my majesty, I can't help but think of my majesty."

"You, you, do you know why this is happening?" I don't know if it was a thought that emerged subconsciously or driven by something else.

Trapolis suddenly looked up at Moon and asked this question.

Do I know why?

Of course I know, you are talking about me!

But I can’t tell you this, Ansha is right next to me!

One God and One King is an iron rule. Moon didn't know how the Origin and the world would react if he blatantly violated this iron rule.

But Morn knew how the other gods would react.

The king is God's most precious treasure and the only one that he will never abandon.

I won’t even share.

The angels given to the king and the women around the king are not shared, because they are not even human beings in the eyes of the goddess.

It's just an object, a toy.

At most, it can be called a high-end toy.

But what if there was another goddess involved.

That would be a declaration of war. The king would be fine, but only one of the goddesses would be left.

And what will happen to the world in this process is something only the original knows.

Anyway, Moon doesn't think the world can withstand another war of apocalypse.

However, Morn could never understand why the sacred tree and the shadow were still safe and sound.

So how to answer?
If I give a bad answer, this guy will probably find out!
In a flash, Moon chuckled and said:
"The Lionheart King, the Moon King, the Rose King, His Majesty the Eternal King, and other supreme kings are all my role models."

"When I was young, whenever my teacher told me stories about the kings, I was fascinated."

"That's why I've always vowed that if possible, I must become a great king like them."

"I am very lucky. I met my goddess and fulfilled the vow I made when I was young."

Moon held Ansha's hand and looked seriously at Ansha, who tilted her head slightly because of blushing.

Moon's answer was very clever.

It shows that there were many such kings in history, and he was just a later follower who happened to become king.

And in the end, Moon also deliberately emphasized Ansha to remind Trapolis invisibly that one god and one king is an iron rule that has never been violated.

Sure enough, Trapolis nodded without any thought and said:

"Yes, in my long life, there have been many kings and gods who are as great and kind as my Majesty. They are all true nobles who absolutely match their status."

"King of Sword and Shield, I am honored to meet an equally great king in this era!"

"Therefore, please accept the gift from the elves."

Trapolis gently opened the box he had been holding.

There were two things lying quietly inside.

A leaf as clear as emerald green jade and a pair of silver gloves.

The first time he saw them, Moon knew who they came from.

The leaves are from the sacred tree, and the gloves are definitely from Roselorien.

While Morn was still watching, Ansha had already spoken:

"Is that a leaf from the sacred tree?"

"Yes, Goddess Ansha. This leaf comes from the Holy Tree. And the pair of silver gloves comes from Lord Shadow. They are woven with the silk of the demon spider Shelob under the Mountain of the End."

"The Demon Spider Shelob, I've heard of it, a dark demon that almost became a god. It is said that it was killed by His Majesty the Eternal King?"

Trapolis smiled and said:
"It almost became a god, but it was not His Majesty the Eternal King who killed it, but Lord Shadow!"

Shadow killed the spider?!

If you say so!
Moon was surprised and said:

"Sheluo established the throne of Shadow?"

Not many people knew about this, but it was not surprising to Trapolis.

After all, it's normal for people to guess this.

Regardless of the monsters that met the twelve trials at that time, they were all numerous and famous.

"Yes, His Majesty the Eternal King specially gave the monster the name Sheluo to complete Lord Shadow's last trial."

Damn it, I should have killed that spider if I had known!

Otherwise, why would it come to this? !
By the way, why did I let the spider go?

Ah, because there should be a spider monster underneath Mount Doom!

How else to pay tribute to The Lord of the Rings! ?

Thinking of this reason, Moon really wanted to slap himself.

All the trouble I had was caused by this damn tribute.

And Roselórien, I called you Roselórien on purpose, shouldn't you compare yourself to Galadriel, the Queen of Elf?

Why are you going to kill Shi Luo?

Moon was almost in tears.

After a long while, Mo En smiled brilliantly and asked:
"Can I ask a question? If you don't feel comfortable, you don't have to ask."

"You terrify me, Sword and Shield King."

"Just, what do you want to ask?"

In response to Trapolis's question, Moon asked directly:
"Loslorian Shadow, she became a god, so who is her king? Why can I only find some groundless rumors?"

"And those rumors are a little hard to believe."

Morn knew the answer, but he wanted confirmation from the elves.

A Golden Flower Lord is obviously the best choice.

In response to Moon's question, Trapolis said directly:
"Because Lord Shadow's king has also passed away."

"So, so Lord Roselorien's king is really?"

"Yes, King of Sword and Shield, Lord Shadow's king is also His Majesty the Eternal King. From the beginning to now, the elves have always had only one king."

This was the answer he had known for a long time, but when he actually confirmed it, Moon still felt a little overwhelmed.

Forcing himself to act understanding and surprised, Moon nodded and asked the question he wanted to know most:

"But, there has never been such a thing as two gods and one king. I feel overwhelmed. So?"

This is the greatest blasphemy known to all.

So much so that Moon didn't know how to phrase it.

Trapolis still answered Moon.

Because Morn did remind him of the Everlasting King.

He lowered his head and gave the answer in an extremely lonely voice:
"Because the king is gone, that's all."

Because the king is gone, it's not two goddesses hostile to each other.

They were just two poor gods who had lost their queen and were cuddling together for warmth.

But the king is still there.
