Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 458: , Lorgar and the State Religion

Ryan first lived in Teresa's wizard's tower for a day. The sorceress took advantage of the suitable winter weather to study magic, and lingered with Ryan for one night and took the initiative to drive him away, but Veronica was very idle. Witch Garland simply followed Ryan, and she was naturally nourished, with a red light on her face.

A few days before the Winter Veil Festival, Ryan launched the "Earl Walks the Grassroots" activity. As the champion of the god's choice of the fairies in the lake, Ryan Macado personally came to Red Fish Village, visited the village elders, and traveled all over the village. The streets and alleys of the serfs, to learn about the income of the serfs and the living conditions of the serfs. After Lane came here, the lives of the serfs have undergone earth-shaking changes. At present, hunger and poverty are gradually moving away from this village. Seeing that everyone has surplus food at home, this makes The count praised again and again.

Afterwards, Earl Lane came to the home of the old man in Hongyu Village, extended his holiday wishes to him, gave him the gift of two fish, and greeted the old man's family situation cordially: "Is it inconvenient to enter the city? Security? How is the situation? Is the cost of seeing a doctor high?"

Facing the earl's cordial greetings, the village elder smiled and said, "It's all the earl's leadership. Now the roads are smooth, the law and order are guaranteed, the medical treatment is convenient, and life is getting better and better."

After watching the village elders, the earl and his party came to visit the old man Yves' home again. Yves is a physically disabled veteran, suffering from rheumatism and other diseases, and there is no one around to take care of him. Blessings, the veteran was moved to tears: "I am 58 years old this year, watching the changes of the whole village, the environment is getting better and better, life is getting more and more beautiful, this is the earl's gift."

"Did you eat well? Did you dress warmly?" When he opened the old soldier's iron pot, Ryan found that the minced meat porridge was stewed in the pot. The earl was very happy. Ryan kindly said that if there was any difficulty, he had to respond to the knight, the veteran. They all fought with their own lives and evil, and they have contributed a lot to the stability, unity, and harmony of Brittany. Kingdom knights in various villages should pay attention to understand the needs of veterans and service soldiers, and let them feel To the care from the fairies in the lake and the spirit of chivalry, but also to strengthen the training of soldiers, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in war.

After the visit, the Winter Veil Festival also came. Surya officially convened Ryan's entire backyard in the name of his wife to hold a turkey banquet. The banquet discussed how to develop Ryan's potential and reasonably allocate Ryan's public time. The question of who came first was discussed in depth and a consensus was reached on many contents.

Ryan himself was forbidden to participate in this banquet, and he didn't know what the women were talking about. Later, he learned from Orika, who was more relaxed, that they had signed an "agreement" after many competitions that day. , the fairy in the lake also signed the agreement.

But Ryan didn't have time to pay attention to that banquet.

Because the Emperor came, with the Word Bearer Primarch Lorgar.

On the day of the Winter Veil Festival, deep in the Xialong Forest, in an underground cave.

The four emperor's imperial guards looked around vigilantly, any disturbance would usher in their sharpest counterattack, while Angron sat on the side with a complicated expression, he watched the emperor's supreme power channeling Ryan's spirit and Will, purifying his former brother, murmured, "Father, I thought you would catch Petrabo first, so I could chop his stinky face with my axe."

The Emperor first set his sights on the straw hat worn by Angron, and then continued to focus on transforming Lorgar: "If you want to capture Petrabo, even if I do it myself, I must at least lose. There are only 50% of the preparations for the 3,000 Imperial Guards."

"That's Petrabo. He spent 10,000 years building a fortress waiting for others to attack, but unfortunately no one will go." Angron shouted: "I knew when I was the craziest, Petra Bo and his fortress can't be touched."

"There is no fortress that cannot be broken, and there is no trial that cannot wait. Luo Jia will pay the price for what he has done." The Raven Guard Primarch Clarkson, with skin as pale as snow and hair as black as graphite, stood in the distance. , he was less reticent than before, looking at Angron, Clarkson said a few more words, and there was something deeper in his tone - if anything.

"If the trial is always late, it means that it didn't come." Ryan purifies Luo Jia, the strength of the Ascended Primarch is really not that good, at least he feels much more relaxed than before, while channeling energy, while whispering : "At least, the trial is 10,000 years late, and even more late for many traitors."

"Exorcism is done, only all enemies are destroyed, their breath is wiped, their souls and bodies are purged from the world, all records of their past and existence are lost in time, the first evil will be executed, threatened From the beginning, only when all the records and names of the enemy and the scrolls in which their stories are written are destroyed, the real victory will come." Clarkson said to Lane: "From the Codex of Asterta, Kiri Mann wrote."

"Lorgar did the same thing." The Emperor opened his mouth and looked at the Word Bearer Primarch lying on the slate, with no more expression on his icy face: "He is on a planet that worships the evil god. Growing up, he didn't learn anything except faith, he was taught since childhood that the meaning of life is faith, don't care about what you believe, but care about piety or not."

"He just needs an object of belief. Before I arrived in his world, the object of his belief was the evil god. After I arrived in his world, the object of his belief was me. After I discovered the problem and finally stopped it After that, Luo Jia felt confused, he realized his mistake, but the core of belief in his soul remained unchanged. After lacking the object of belief, he was like a traveler in the desert, frantically looking for any water source, The thing named Luo Jia is stuffed with belief, since you can't believe in me, then go find a new belief."

"He began to consult countless scriptures and scrolls, looking for the so-called true gods, the truth of the universe, and I - what is the nature of the creature called the Emperor, and in this way, he reached the Eye of Terror and saw the Four Chaos Gods, And embraced his new faith with an ecstatic attitude, he had lost his goal before, so Chaos God gave him one, Lorgar was like a puppy who saw a frisbee, he didn't care what the goal was, he just needed Others gave him one, Chaos gave him, and he led the Word Bearers in all their loyalty."

"How pious I used to be, and I hate it now, am I right? Lorgar, my son?"

The purification is over, the Word Bearer Primarch with a bald head and ancient spells engraved all over his body seems to have lost everything, and he said with a deadhearted heart: "You can even transform me, who has willingly embraced Chaos, back into it. The original way, father, the great emperor, you used your supreme power to take everything from me, I finally found my destination, and you cruelly deprived me of my faith again, even so, you still do not Are you willing to admit that you are indeed God?"

"How long are you going to hold on to that lie?" Hearing Luo Jia's words, the Emperor's face changed slightly, and the displeasure of the Lord of Humanity was expressed in his tone: "I don't want to argue with you anymore. This question, because it has no meaning, 10,000 years have passed, the big mistake has been made, and the human race is almost completely irreversible."

"Because of this, human beings need belief, and human beings exist for belief. Father, what kind of **** are you and your empire already? The only thing that keeps your empire alive is what I brought to you. , Faith." Lorgar was pressing on, but the Word Bearer Primarch stared at his father, his creator, with a gaze that was so mad that he was almost crazy, and that was so pious that he had no ego: "The end of the Age of Apostasy proves that Everything, two, one, human beings need faith, and two, you are God."

"...I will change the situation." The Emperor was silent at first, then continued: "In my own way."

"Your way? Yes, your way, because no one can stand against you, no one can stand against you, who can stop you? The Inquisition? The Council of the High Lords of Terra? Or the Imperial Church? No, none of them can stop you. You, they ruled your empire in the name of the **** emperor, and now that you are back, they shot themselves in the foot, and you have finally become what you hated the most." Luo Jia spoke like a A gracious priest, but his words were as sharp as a sword: "Look, a feast, Chaos, undead, greenskins, worms, they feast upon the carrion of your empire, if not for Your return has ignited the fire of hope, and the empire has long since disappeared, even so, you still firmly believe that you are not a god?"

"I'm not a god, Lorgar, this is the last time I talk about this." The emperor was always cold and calm: "Stop your wise judgment and self-righteous cognition, isolate chaos, and embark on evolution and enlightenment. This is the ultimate evolutionary direction of human beings, I am not a god, never will be.”

Ryan, Angron, and Clarkson sat lined up on a bench each, drinking Dwarf Bagman beer and listening to the conversation between the Emperor and Lorgar.

"Brother, do you want sausages?" Ryan took out a plate.

"Give me some, oh, I like black pepper flavor." Angron nodded.

"Brother Clarkson?"

"Honey flavored."

"Here, this is the best raw honey."

The three primarchs sat together eating and drinking. Compared with people like Guilliman who liked to think all day, neither Angron nor Clarkson were the ones who were entangled in this problem, but for Ryan , the Emperor is his father, that's all, he doesn't care whether the Emperor is a **** or not, as the Primarch of the Grey Knights, all he has to do is fight evil in the name of the Emperor.

On the other side, the debate between Lorgar and the Emperor continued.

"So you think your imperial truth can defeat Chaos? Do you think the truth of Chaos is that simple? Chaos comes from the Warp, and the Warp is made up of all the emotions of all creatures in the entire universe, the more you fight it, The more you realize that you are actually fighting against yourself, why do I embrace Chaos, because Chaos is indestructible, never, do you know that you and your Empire's truth almost led to the birth of the Fifth God of Chaos?" Luo Jia's face The expression is very complex, on the one hand is the emptiness of awakening, and on the other hand is the despair of shattered hope: "What is the essence of God? It is the sum of all biological consciousness and finally forms self-consciousness, and you, father, you The projection in the warp is a carrier strengthened by the beliefs of all beings. You can deny it, but some things have changed in the 10,000 years that you sat on the golden throne. I fell because I accepted that you are not a **** opinion, but I have the exact opposite of what you have instilled in me through decades of investigation."

"You are God, my father, the God I believe in told me that he is not God but I found out that he is God, so contradictory, so divided, you tore me in two, you drove me crazy! Overturned everything in me!"

"Do you know how painful it is to persecute a person to repeatedly deny his beliefs?! But you did this to me twice! You persecuted a person who believed in gods since childhood Convert to you instead! Then force your most faithful believers to give up their beliefs! I am forced to kneel in front of you and admit my mistake." At the end, Luo Jia's expression was almost crazy, and he said hoarsely: "In After I was forced to accept that you are not God, I found out through countless signs that you are indeed God, but I have accepted that you are not God, I almost went crazy! I am not your toy, rather than continue to suffer Your lies, I might as well embrace Chaos, at least they are happy to accept their beliefs!"

"So I admit that in the age of the Great Crusade, some of my handling was wrong. I thought that the spread of imperial truth would be able to keep mankind from corruption, but I didn't realize that the effect of forcing was counterproductive, because it did not provide spiritual Religious fanaticism makes it easier to unite the masses than to educate mankind with reason and science." The Emperor nodded this time in agreement with Lorgar: "We need some changes, some subtle changes."

"I'm glad we can reach an agreement~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Father, if you realized this problem earlier, I wouldn't betray you at all." Luo Jia is still angry, he feels empty from body to spirit, he Subconsciously trying to grab the last straw: "You won't spend so much time catching me back and transforming me, tell me, father? What do you want me to do for you? You need me, right? Yes? Is it?"

"I need a new Book of Words, rewritten sentences, better illustrations and more inspiring stories, and I need someone to help me manage and reform the state religion." The Emperor said to Lorgar, "You are An important piece of the puzzle in my plan."

"Huh~" Luo Jia let out a sigh of relief after listening to the Emperor's words. This is what he wanted. He was needed by his own god. The thing that supports the thing called Luo Jia is composed of both belief and being needed.

"Give me some time to think, father, I don't know which book I want, the Book of Chaos Lorgar or the Book of Holy Words, do you want a demon prince or a dark apostle to become the Primarch who is in charge of the state religion for you? The third time you want to destroy my belief like this, I know that after being transformed back by you, I can't go back to Chaos, but I need a little time." Luo Jia scratched his scalp with his fingers in pain: " You are always so easy."

"Okay, while I go to Lustcia and come back, you can stay here with Ryan, and then we will return to Terra together." The Emperor closed his eyes and fell into a brief silence, in his thoughts It seems to be recalling something, and no one knows the thoughts of the Lord of Humans.

"Lane." After the brief silence, the Emperor turned to Ryan and said, "Bring your wife to Angron's cabin in the woods."

"Suria-Kumani-Antry-de-Winfort, as my imperial concubine, I want to see her."

"it is good!"
