Chapter 181 You Will Never Be Rome (2.4k)
After the alliance was just announced, only one in ten nobles were left, and they knelt on the ground in fear and anxiety.
It’s over.
Completely finished.
They really didn't expect something like this to happen.
This should have been a simple transaction.
Looking at the kneeling crowd and the fleet above their heads.
Morn's finger passed over the Ring, and Erenion Gil-galad, the first and last Elf-King, was fully returned.
There is no need to demonstrate any power or divinity.
It is enough for Wang to stand up.
Because the existence of kings is the greatest power and dignity.
Noticing this, Kalu Judd lowered his head even more bitterly.
He now had no idea how this was going to end.
He appeared to put out the fire and then watch the elves leave.
But now, not only had he and everything behind him become the source of the fire, but all of it was also completely exposed to the elves.
His appearance even made the fire burn even more fiercely.
In the endless bitterness, Kalu Judd couldn't help but bow his head and ask:
"You said you came here to talk, why did you come here like this?"
Not as Erenion Gil-galad the Everlasting King, but as an unknown person whom no one could find.
This is obviously not something to discuss, because an unknown person is not qualified to do so. For an unknown person to say this would be a huge blasphemy and insult.
If you really want to talk, then why don't you just show up as the Eternal King?
If it was the king who came, their Steel Heart Church would also give in.
And he wouldn't be put in this pitiful situation where he couldn't move forward or backward.
Of course, he only dared to express his dissatisfaction in such a tactful way. More importantly, he didn't dare to do it, otherwise, he would have died there like his predecessors.
Although that is glorious, the glory of a dead person is worthless.
This is the principle in his heart.
In response to the voice of the mortal under his feet, Morn lowered his head and said:
"I've been here five days."
"On the first day, just by coming into contact with them, I knew that they were indeed pure-blooded elves, my race, and blessed by the Covenant of Six Kings."
"And you've been treating them like commodities for three thousand years. You're not going to tell me that I discovered something on the first day that you haven't discovered in three thousand years?!"
Moon's words made the nobles even more panicked, and Kalu Judd fell into complete silence.
In fact, everyone knows very well whether they are elves or not.
When Moon first met Doug, he had no real contact with them, so he thought that these girls were probably just like elves.
In this case, this is a completely internal matter of humanity, so Moon is really thinking about who he should stand up as.
Is it Trajan Westeros, the Lord of Sword and Shield, who is also a human, or Erenian Gil-galad, the Eternal King of the Elf?
But after really coming into contact with them and seeing the holy tree standing in the filth.
Moon knew that this was not some kind of appearance resemblance brought about by atavism.
Although no one knows why they lost the lifespan and power of the immortal species.
But this is a true pure-blooded elf.
From the soul to the blood, and to the most basic appearance.
An undisputed pure-blooded elf.
Even Moon could clearly tell which subspecies clan they each belonged to.
There are mirror elves, wood elves, water elves, and even high elves.
This is something Moon knew just by coming into contact with it.
There are so many of them, it's impossible that they didn't notice anything in three thousand years.
So, actually everyone knows.
It’s just that they ate the elves to death and couldn’t stand up because the king who left the wrong decree was no longer around.
The only person who could correct this mistake no longer has the possibility of doing so.
Therefore, they openly exploited the helplessness of history to indulge in their own malice.
But even so, they did not forget to pretend that their transactions were legal and compliant.
He didn't even have the courage to stand up directly, but still had to lean forward and take a big bite.
Since they were just pretending, Moon had no intention of discussing it sincerely.
Since they wanted to degrade the elves, who were extremely noble in everyone's eyes, into commodities, so that they could be played with at will in the hands of the rich and powerful, then Morn would let the noble and powerful people suffer a huge setback in the hands of the unknown people.
The presentation of the true copy of the Covenant of Six Kings was the final warning.
Although everyone, including Moon, knew that even so, they would not admit their mistakes.
The nobility has always been like this and has never changed.
But just as they symbolically gave the girls' parents a choice, Moon also symbolically gave them a chance.
Even this opportunity was given to them directly by Moon.
And they didn't ask the girls.
In Kalu Judd's silence, Moen raised his foot and stepped on his head and said:
"I am just giving you back your work in a packaged form."
Carew Judd had a lot to say, but he didn't dare. As mentioned before, if he dared, he would have died with honor.
Even Moon didn't remember seeing him.
I have clearly heard of his existence and know that he possesses a powerful sealed object.
And Moen, who was stepping on his head, continued:
"Why, you can't accept it? Others can bear it, but you can't?"
"Do you think you are a superior person, naturally superior to others, so you should enjoy privileges and exemptions?"
"So, what you can do, others can't do it for you?"
These are the words the King said to Kalu Judd.
But it’s also for everyone.
No one has the courage and qualifications to answer this question.
I neither dare nor have the means to refute.
In the past, they were nobles, extraordinary beings, and even demigods.
So their words are justice and righteousness. As for whether this is consistent with the facts, they don’t care, because no one can stand in front of them.
They are the powerful and are naturally nobler than others.
But now, there are people who can no longer treat them as civilians, but rather as mortals or even insects.
So when the king returned their deeds to them.
It was the first time that everyone realized how ridiculous this matter was.
Looking at Carew Judd who was completely speechless.
Moon's gaze finally shifted from the top of his head to the remaining nobles.
Among the powerful people in the world, those who are still alive at this moment are the most powerful among the powerful.
But the people in front of them are the real powerful.
So they were disheartened and anxious.
They traded the girls as merchandise, but they were no more than bugs before the King of the Elves.
Especially the emperors and the earliest nobles from the Old World.
To the noble who first asked to buy him.
Moon said to him:
"Trouble comes from the mouth, doesn't it?"
The noble pulled out his tongue without hesitation and then cut off his right hand.
He endured the severe pain and placed his tongue and right hand in front of his body with great respect.
It was a huge sacrifice, but he was extremely grateful because the king's eyes were away from him.
It is a great fortune to be able to survive the crime of treason.
Moon's gaze finally fell on the emperor who was still on the podium.
The emperor also wanted to cut off his tongue, but he was holding the knife and was afraid to do it.
Mo En shook his head with pity and said:
"Rome can be anyone, but never you."
The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the emperor himself was stunned.
Unable to become Roman, even the orthodoxy of bloodline and identity was denied.
For the nobles of the Old World, this was more deadly than killing them.
They were dissolute, extravagant, and vicious, but they were still noble because they were descendants of Augustus Julius.
They inherited the Holy Roman Empire!
But now, his limited legitimacy had been denied by the Eternal King himself.
He even felt that there was more to it than that.
