Chapter 668: Holy King

It seemed like a bomb was thrown on the square, and the huge commotion started to roll up like a strong wind.

Robben also looked at the Second Prince in amazement. This matter... seems to have made a little mistake, and you still raised your hand and sweared. Robben was very suspicious of whether the Second Prince missed a word in a hurry.

After swallowing, Robben quickly put his voice into the second prince's ears, "I said you can't brag, but you can't just say anything. I admitted that Nalan and the other demons came in front of everyone yesterday. You can change your words immediately today. Is this loophole too big?"

The second prince had a serious face and looked like he was willing to take responsibility for every word he said, and seemed to have not heard Robben's words at all.

"My people are quiet and quiet." The sound of the sound of the roaring in the square has been endless for a long time, and the second prince had to speak out again to stop it.

Finally, the residents' voices in the square became weaker. The second prince continued: "The demons once invaded the continent and killed many humans, but now the demons have disappeared for countless years. You all really believe such lies with the words of those gods who don't care about us at all?"

He raised his hand and pointed directly at Robben, "Duke Robben is a human being. He grew up in the empire since he was a child. His identity can be verified. People, you can come up with a reason to convince yourself. Why do those extremely vicious demons obey the orders of a human and follow him?"

When the Second Prince asked, the sporadic discussions in the square disappeared immediately, followed by a sound of doubt. This question is really unexplainable. How could the demons obey a human? When this Duke Robben was in the imperial capital, he would also walk back and forth on the streets of the imperial capital. The warriors around him who were called witches were very respectful to him. Moreover, those warriors who were called witches were not only beautiful but also very kind when they occasionally ran to the street to buy things. They did not seem to match the legendary demons.

The joy on the second prince's face flashed, "My people, in this world, there are many creatures with horns on their heads, our cattle and sheep, many monsters in the mountains and forests, and even dragons. There are many creatures. You only heard of them but never saw them. For example, those elves who came to help the empire fight, and there are many creatures. You may not even hear of them... For example, Duke Robben's subordinates..."

There was a sound of surprise in the square. Could it be that Duke Robben's subordinates were not humans?

"The subordinates of Duke Robben came from a hidden forest in the empire. They were not in conflict with the world and lived a life of practicing magic all day long..."

When Robben heard the second prince say such words, he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it immediately. This crude statement was used to fool the second prince. Unexpectedly, this guy is now taking it out to deceive the people...

The second prince is still saying: "They are not humans we know, but they are very similar to humans. Perhaps they are a branch of our human ancestors. Of course, this is no longer verified. Everyone knows about Duke Robben's past. He is a ranger. He has traveled on the mainland, killed undead mages, and slaughtered dragons. But he discovered the tribe, and no one knows what happened, and his subordinates are the female tribesmen in this tribe."

Robben seemed to be relieved at this distance, and seemed to finally tell the lie more perfectly. He lies in front of these tens of millions of people without blinking. This requires considerable skill. Robben has to admire...

"As for..." The second prince obviously hadn't stopped talking yet, so he paused a little, and the sound in the square became less and less.

"As for the incident that Duke Robben admitted yesterday, I have to clarify that Duke Robben's words are not true."

Obviously, the credibility of this sentence is much lower than what the Second Prince said just now, and there were quite a lot of doubts in the square.

However, in the face of these doubts, the second prince was not busy at all, but said quietly: "My people, you should understand the feelings of a person, and you should understand the feelings of a person who has given many people for the empire and for the people he protected. After Duke Robben took office, he made many contributions to the empire and sacrificed a lot of things himself. Have you seen it? In the battle yesterday, in order to protect everyone and to protect this country, Duke Robben lost an arm. Before that, Duke Robben had already paid too much, and what he got yesterday was just ruthlessly abandoning him under the lies of the enemy... If it were me, I think I would say those words too."

There was no sound in the square, and almost everyone shouted yesterday to kill Robben.

"I don't blame you, because when faced with powerful forces, sometimes we are powerless, and we will involuntarily choose to believe those lies. The Duke of Robben will not blame you, but... this is a rational idea. People... have feelings. We don't need you to repay too much, but we need your support. The empire needs your support. My people. I need your support."

The ruler is really a scattered thing... Robben couldn't help but start muttering in his heart.

There was silence in the square, and sporadic cheers began to sound. Soon, these cheers sounded...

Robben sighed. Ordinary people who are far from the truth are always so easy to deceive, always so easy to believe others' words. They shouted at themselves yesterday, but now they are starting to cheer at their own shadows. This completely opposite relationship has changed so quickly...

The cheers in the square were getting louder and louder, but Robben was not moved at all. This support was really cheap, and among the cheering crowd, I don’t know if the second prince arranged in advance to hold it in...

"My people, Duke Robben has protected us. He had an adventure while traveling on the mainland. His magic cultivation has reached its peak. You don't have to doubt why he was so powerful at a young age. You should be glad that Duke Robben, who has obtained powerful power, is willing to use this power to protect us instead of doing it freely."

The cheers on the square continued to rise, and many residents began to clap, and the clapping sounds quickly formed. The cheers and clapping of millions of people were shocked and the platform was trembling slightly.

Robben was paying attention this time. The people who started clapping seemed to be very evenly divided among the crowd around the square... Seeing this, Robben couldn't help but sigh again.

"Duke Robben, please tell everyone a few words."

Robben was shaking his head secretly, and the second prince suddenly turned around and threw away his right to speak. Robben was stunned immediately, but saw the second prince looking at his shirt pocket with relief.

It seemed that he wanted to be a speaker, and Robben took out the note from his pocket helplessly.

"My people" Robben began to recite loudly.

"In the past days, I have served the empire wholeheartedly and have never had any slackness. My only wish is to hope that the empire can be prosperous and strong, and that all the names of people can live and work in peace and contentment..."

Robben was mechanic, chanting...no sound.

Although the second prince looked over with confusion and urging eyes, Robben could not continue to read it anymore. His tone of voice was too inconsistent with the things on the note, and these things were not what he wanted to say at all.

Seeing Robben suddenly stopped, the residents around the square all showed doubts on their faces. I wonder if the Duke of Robben was still angry about what happened yesterday.

With his hands in a ball, Robben put the note into a ball while the second prince kept winking at him.

Robben felt much more comfortable when he put down his hand.

After coughing, Robben continued to say loudly: "I am very sorry, the residents of the imperial capital have prepared my speech, but when I see you, I feel that even if my words are hundreds of times more, they are not enough to express my meaning. I really, thank you very much."

Cheers sounded again in the quiet square.

"I don't know how to say anything. What I prepared before were all stupid things. Don't laugh..."

Robben's casual words immediately made laughter sound in the square.

"Actually, I am an ordinary person like you. But some things are lucky or unfortunate to come to me, so today's Robben. Like you, I want to live well. Of course, I also hope that the empire can develop well and hope that the people of my country can be safe. I don't have such a powerful force to change anything, and I can't promise you anything, but... I can guarantee that I will lead my subordinates to work hard to usher in peace and a happy life for you. This... is probably what I want to say, thank you."

As soon as Robben finished speaking, the square suddenly heard a louder cheer than ever before.

The second prince turned his eyes and looked at Robben, with a smile on his lips. Although the statement was a bit clumsy, the effect was very good.

"People, please be quiet, please be quiet"

The second prince suppressed the voice in the square and said loudly: "Today, I not only want to clarify these things for Duke Robben and the Empire, but also to commend Duke Robben. The previous invasion of the Lothar Empire, this time I defeated those evildoers who claimed to be gods. I will commend Duke Robben for these two achievements together."

Shocking cheers broke out in the square again.

The next thing was very boring. At least Robben thought so. I don’t know how many ministers came forward to read what they said. It seemed that some were legal terms, some were the specific reasons for their contributions and some details of the situation. The descriptions of some things were as if they were seen by the minister himself at that time. The descriptions were even more true and credible than what they had experienced in person...

Robben was at the mercy of others, picking up something and reading it on the side according to the text on it, and then pressing his hand on the empire's code to swear. Robben originally valued his vows very much, but Robben now understands that he was not himself at this time, but a politician's vow was just used to say when he needed to swear. Robben also understood this truth today... After a while, Robben accepted the award from the second prince, and putting badges, pendants and other things on himself...

After such repetition, the residents in the square were getting more and more excited, but Robben himself was already drowsy.

"Robben, everyone is watching the spirit."

Robben, who had drooped his eyelids, was shocked, but he saw that the second prince, who was not the fifth medal, was whispering to remind himself.

"When will it end... I came after breakfast, and now my stomach is rumbled..." Robben asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation. Robben glanced at the sky. It should have been ten in the afternoon. Fortunately, the residents could stand in the cold square for so long in such a cold weather. Even if the crowds are warmer, they must be very cold under their feet..."

"Hungry? I just drank two pots of wine for dinner yesterday. How dare you say you are hungry?"

Robben thought for a while and continued to attract people's annoyance, "The food is eaten by yourself... If you don't eat it... who's blame?"

"There is another procedure. After finishing this, we can leave here."

"Then get a little faster."

The second prince really wants to push the guy in front of him directly from this high platform. He has worked hard to almost burst his mind from last night to now. He thinks about how to solve this problem. However, in a hurry, he has to risk to persuade all residents to take risks. If this time fails, he will be labeled as a demon incarnation, and the empire will be directly coup. Now this guy doesn't eat a meal in time and is clamoring to say he is hungry...

Knowing that this time was the last one to award merit, Robben became a little more energetic and listened carefully to the Second Prince's speech to all the people.

"In view of the indelible contributions made by Duke Robben to the Empire, I decided to grant Duke Robben the position of "Saint King" and part-time Duke of Foreign Affairs of the Empire"

There was still a cheer in the square, and this time the cheer was filled with surprise. The sound rushed up, and Robben almost felt that he was about to be swept away by the sound.

Although the sound of the square was very high, Robben had a string of question marks on his head.

"What is the Holy King? It is even bigger than the Duke of the Empire?" Robben whispered to ask while the second prince brought him a medal.

The second prince pretended to be calm, and now his muscles twitched hard, "Robben, you damn guy, shut up now."

I don't know what I said again, so Robben had to shut up tactfully, hoping to go back soon. I guess Sasha and the others must be anxious, maybe...

Just as Robben suddenly found that in a corner of the square, the crowd suddenly made a way out. After that, Sasha, Fanny, Sue, Lilith, Carlisle and others with confusion all appeared in their sight.

Obviously, Sasha and the others didn't know why the residents around now seemed to have no hostility from yesterday, but instead looked very respectful.

"My wife called me back to eat..." Robben didn't think much, and suddenly said something came out of his mouth. Then he immediately realized his mistake and immediately shut up.

The second prince calmly faced and brought the last medal to Robben, whispering: "Now... we can indeed go back to your camp."

"Hmm?" Robben was surprised, "You go too?"

"Shut up"

He shouted viciously in a very low voice. The second prince turned around and walked into the green magic circle again, shouting loudly: "My people, the Holy King has come to the empire again, now... I want to choose the location of the temple myself."

Robben and the second prince, who were full of doubts, left the Empire Square in the super gorgeous carriage. A large number of residents followed behind, and even followed the streets for several days. Some streets in the imperial capital were empty for a while, while some were infiltrated...

Robben looked outside in the carriage, took the crown to the opposite side in confusion, and kept wiping the sweat. He asked, "Is this... the direction we are going to the military camp?"

The second prince said angrily: "Then where do you think you are going? Are you in a hurry to go back for dinner, isn't this just right?"

"But...what are you going to do?"

The second prince really wanted to jump up and punch his face with a puzzled face now.

"Uh...why are you doing such an ugly face? I mean, what did you think about choosing the position just now?"

The second prince stared at Robben for a long time, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Roben, what is the Holy King?"

Robben was stunned, "I want to ask you?"

Obviously, the second prince was extremely surprised by Robben's answer, "You... don't you know about the Holy King?"

Robben suddenly realized that it seemed that he had made another mistake. He had been in this world for a long time. Many times he was absolutely familiar with everything in this world and would never seem so inconsistent and stiff as he was at the beginning. But now it seems that his homework has not been fully achieved. This Holy King seems to be a common sense thing... but he doesn't know at all...

"I mean... Isn't it strange that you named me the Holy King like this?" Robben quickly changed his words.

The second prince's puzzled eyes slowly faded away, and he leaned back and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, which made Robben breathe a sigh of relief.

"There are not many places in the imperial capital to build large-scale palaces. The open space in the military camp is the only place. I will not occupy that area unless I have to. However, this also has an advantage. The sky can finally be covered. Seeing that thing lies above the imperial capital, I really feel very powerless."

"You mean, you're going to deal with that huge void space?" Robben couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, if you don't deal with that thing, I'll deal with it for you."
To be continued...
