Lord of Glory - Chapter 178
[Chapter 179 Control and Mastery]
The next day, when the warmth of the sun shone through the lush foliage again and fell on this unnamed forest deciduous field, the handful of ashes in the cave suddenly came alive. The ashes gradually emitted a gentle golden light, and began to automatically boil and bond together. First the bones, then the blood vessels and nerves, then the muscles and skin, and finally the white hair and nails. In the blink of an eye, an intact Paladin leaned against the stone wall naked.

In a trance, he opened his eyes. A golden light flashed from his eyes. In just one night, Palatine went from birth to death, and then to rebirth. Such an experience will be staged night after night in the long future. For a moment, Palatine seemed to realize something. Death is not terrible, it is just the beginning of life. When even the fear of losing one’s own life is gone, then the fear of death will never come again. Because he has no fear.
“Chance…qualification…price…” Paladin, with a blank face, murmured the three words that the gods kept talking about. Now he understands a little, the invisible law that dominates the world is based on opportunities, qualifications and costs. If there is gain, there is a price, but the price may also be an opportunity. You can also use this opportunity to qualify and pay the price again. The two complement each other and build the smallest forest survival and the most complex human society.
Paladin, who slowly stood up, glanced slightly, and under the special killing, only less than 300 elements were added. “It’s too slow, and it’s dangerous.” Paladin frowned as he walked out of the cave, only to see Abelly chewing on an armored corpse. Looking down, there were more than seven, eight or eighty corpses scattered all over the grass. Looking at the coat of arms on the armor, Paladin naturally knew that these were soldiers of the Duchy of Barbary. It was here to search for the murderer of the villagers.
Obviously, the wreckage of Paladin after hunting everywhere during this period has more or less attracted the attention of the high-level officials of the Principality. “Sure enough, it’s very dangerous, this place can’t stay any longer.” Paladin concluded. In the long run, it will not only attract the army, but even seriously enough to attract those guys from the Inquisition. It will be difficult to end then.
Looking at the grass covered with corpses, Paladin’s mouth revealed a faint smile. He had a daring plan he hadn’t tried, and perhaps, it was time to experiment.
Two months later, it is the spring when the flowers are blooming and the summer wind is blowing. In the conference hall of the Kingdom of Malta, all kinds of nobles and lords are sitting. Philip, who was wearing a Chinese robe, stared at the generals under the vote, causing these nobles to sit up one by one. Even the bright lights in the hall and the wide rectangular table in front of them could not give them a sense of security.
Indeed, over the years, their King Philip, the famous war madman, although mad, did indeed bring them more lords and gold coins. They are also happy to serve such a king on the battlefield. But since two months ago, Philip’s temperament has suddenly changed drastically, and the overwhelming taxation and a large number of compulsory conscription have made them very dissatisfied. Now it has also spent a large sum of gold coins to purchase a large number of weapons and horses from the neighboring kingdom of Norhad.
That’s their lord’s money! And Philip didn’t ask them at all when he used it! Naturally, some people stood up to oppose it, thinking that it was not suitable to fight again now, which had just been severely damaged. But the price paid by that noble colleague was cruel. The mummy hanging at the gate of the city has already explained everything.
“I’m going to attack the Kingdom of Nubia.” The hall that had been silent for a long time finally welcomed the gloomy Philip’s first words. It’s just that the nobles obviously disagree with this proposition. One of the marquis wearing a robe immediately stood up, frowned and patted the table and said rudely: “Your Majesty, we have been defeated soon, if we forcibly attack the Kingdom of Nubia, we will only be punished. The country is dragged into the abyss of destruction!”…,
Another noble immediately stood up and echoed: “The Marquis is right, the Nubian Kingdom has not received the threat of war over the years, and has a treaty with us, we should not take the initiative to attack this neutral and powerful enemy!”
Looking at these humans looking like they were greedy for money and afraid to die, Paladin, who was hiding in Philip’s body, suddenly laughed, his face even more gloomy: “It is because the Kingdom of Nubia is too strong that Aixinzhe and the Duchy of Kasmi will definitely join forces. Fight against him with us. The three-nation coalition will definitely be able to defeat this Nubia, so that we can expand our army with confidence and conquer more lands and women.” “I object!” As soon as Philip’s voice fell, a viscount stood up immediately , pointed at Philip and scolded: “If you want to see Inos in a hurry, do whatever you want, don’t drag me to the funeral!”
After the viscount finished speaking, he kicked off the stool and turned around and left. The other nobles saw this, but they hesitated a little, and they all stood up and left. On the contrary, Philip looked at these nobles who disobeyed him, but he did not show any anger at all. “I knew that there would be resistance. After all, no one wants to die.”
Suddenly, at this moment, a young man’s voice came from the front door. Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw a young man with silver hair and golden eyes, wearing a white robe, walking in slowly. “Who are you! How did you come in? Guard, guard!” Several nobles suddenly felt that the man was malicious, and immediately shouted loudly. But unfortunately, he couldn’t see the guards who had completely turned into piles of ashes outside.
Seeing this man walk in without fear, the nobles pulled out their sabres and stared at him vigilantly. The Viscount seemed to have realized something before, but he suddenly turned his head and saw that Philip was sitting in his seat in a relaxed manner, without a trace of nervousness. “Philip! Did you find this man! Answer me!”
The Viscount angrily raised his cross sword and pointed at Philip. But the man in front of the door, Paladin didn’t care about this at all. He took a step forward, and his eyes without sadness and joy showed detachment and emptiness. “My name is Palatine… Actually, there is no need to tell you your name…” “Wait!” The noble who suddenly noticed something was wrong looked at Philip and then at Paladin. As if to understand something, he pointed the cross sword at Paladin and asked, “What have you done to our king! You evil mage!” “Don’t compare me to those mages, human.”
Palatine strode forward, looking down at these aristocratic nobles. The almighty eye suddenly appeared on the forehead, and the golden light frightened the nobles to keep retreating! “What are you doing!”
These nobles are as weak and powerless as lambs to be slaughtered. But seeing Paladin slowly raising his hand, the Almighty Eye immediately burst out with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall dazzling! “I want your body…” Accompanied by bursts of mourning, the eyes of these nobles burst into golden light at the same time, and the Kingdom of Malta has already existed in name only.
Over the next few months, Lex of the Kingdom of Eisinch suffered the same fate. However, Paladin did not attach himself to the Grand Duke of the Principality. Perhaps considering the relationship between the Engelland Empire, Paladin had no plans to make this huge empire aware of it. A dark tide struck the four kingdoms with trepidation.
Everyone is afraid to fight again. Large quantities of armour and iron were in short supply. Soon after, the news that Archbishop Sariel resigned from the position of archbishop and recommended Paladin to the throne was particularly inconspicuous under the cloud of such a war.
PS: Possibly…I just said maybe. It may be on the shelves in early October… Everyone who has money will support the money field, and those who have no money will support the personal field… Let’s give some support for the sake of my brother who has written four books and finally put it on the shelves.
