The prosperous lord of the Rose Dynasty attempted to challenge the rule of the Seven Gods, become the king of the gods, and create an enlightened king with unprecedented freedom and equality in the Western world. Theobit I... died on his ascension celebration.
It also confirmed that sentence again... Water can carry a boat and capsize it. Because of people's cheers and worship, he blocked the confusion from the ancient spirits, controlled his true heart, and became a god.
But because of people's betrayal and the collapse of prosperity in an instant, it was reduced to ashes.
In that last moment, he probably had no regrets, but maybe he still had regrets.
Lin Xi saw the card that flew out of Theobit I's fingertips and fell into the crowd.
The black card was imprinted with a lifelike black dragon.
Just one glance was enough for Lin Xi to recognize that this was a positioning map.
If Theobit I crushed it, he could instantly summon a powerful and tyrannical dragon.
"Why didn't he crush it?"
"Is it because of the love for this world? Or is it because of expectations?" Lin Xi sighed slightly in the fairy lantern.
Theobites I fell.
His soul did not stay as he wished, but was taken away by the ancient spirits he had digested.
Bai Xuan and Bai Fan didn't have time to catch it.
As for Lin Xi... it was already inconvenient for him to take action again, because there were obviously too many mythical beings gathered near the Rose City.
But Lin Xi was not disappointed either.
He had gained enough from such a trip and a visit.
Even Bai Xuan and Bai Fan... they gained a lot.
As a cultivator, it is necessary to expand your horizons and accumulate knowledge.
Why is it that immortals who have developed normally and have lived for more than three thousand years can almost defeat other beings of the same level but different types?
Because immortals and immortal cultivators are not only almost all fully developed, but also highly expandable.
Its name is spread throughout the world, and the extremely powerful Tiangang Earthsha Technique. From its roots, it is actually to imitate different gods, different demons, and different types of strong men, and then merge into one body, with endless changes and possessions. Very comprehensive ability, enough to cope with any disaster and environment.
This is the so-called technique of avoiding disasters.
If all the disasters can't do anything to you, then can't they be regarded as avoided?
After the death of Theobit I, the divine source he left behind belonged to the goddess of the moon according to his agreement during his lifetime.
Under the blessing of the Moon Goddess, although the Rose Dynasty needed to change its political system and no longer resisted the 'settlement' and 'management' of the Church of the Seven Gods, it was not overthrown and the royal family was not destroyed.
On June 13, the year 3121 of the Advent Calendar, with the recognition and permission of the Church of the Seven Gods, Roja, the eldest son of Theobit I, was about to ascend the throne and become the new ruler.
At the same time, he also declared that the Rose Dynasty would become a kingdom of theocracy, and the status of the Pope of the Seven Gods would be higher than that of the king.
Any city with a population of more than 30,000 must have a formal Church of the Seven Gods. Otherwise, the city will be considered 'illegal' and will be sanctioned by the Kingdom's military.
And wizards...whether they are white wizards or black wizards, will be hunted down, and any wizard who resists is allowed to be killed on the spot. At the same time, dark races such as werewolves, vampires, and ghouls will also be completely expelled from the Rose Dynasty.
And just three days later, Roja, who was about to succeed to the throne and become the new king with the help of the Church of the Seven Gods, died in the bathtub with black blood flowing all over his body.
The death was miserable and horrific.
Apparently he died from a curse.
On July 2nd, the white wizards will send their second son Simba to the throne.
But within two days, Simba died under the trampling of horse hooves and shattered into mud, leaving no trace of his body.
Since then, the descendants of Theobit I have died unexpectedly, causing panic among people.
Several illegitimate children, real or fake, who wanted to stand up to reap benefits and have great luck, went into hiding one after another, and no longer dared to talk about their blood relationship with the royal family.
On February 13, year 3122 of the advent of the gods, at the strong request of the white wizard Gan Mei, the seven-and-a-half-year-old Princess Sophia will inherit the throne.
However, because it was not recognized by the Seven Gods, Sophia's throne was not 'orthodox'.
To the outside world, Queen Sophia of the Rose Dynasty can only be regarded as a 'regent', but cannot be called a real 'king'.
In the Rose Palace, Queen Sophia, who had just succeeded to the throne, was holding tightly in her hand the pendant left to her by her father before her ascension ceremony.
The pendant with its gentle light protected her and escaped several fatal assassinations.
Ganmei even reminded Sophia many times not to let this pendant leave her body.
Because the curse of the seven gods has not gone away... it has always been entangled in the royal bloodline, and it will last forever.
That night, seven-and-a-half-year-old Sophia cried like an ordinary girl for the last time in front of her father's portrait.
From now on, the innocent and naive girl will die with her father.
The one who survived... was Queen Sophia, who was about to make the world look at her with amazement. She was a woman who had both bad and bad reputations, but who was strong enough to hold on to the broken ship of the Rose Dynasty and forge ahead.
In the dilapidated Rose Square, there is no longer the bustle of the past, and the prosperity it once had is just like a dream.
Everyone who passed by the square was in a hurry, and the gloom on their faces clearly showed that they no longer had the past longing for the future and the expectation for a better life.
Banks collapsed, businesses suffered massive losses, factories were shut down, and farmers' harvests were also very sluggish... The entire country was shrouded in desperate misfortune and fog.
At this time, Bai Xuan and Bai Fan returned to the square.
Bai Fan even felt deeply for the first time...why some demons would become gods who dominate everything in other worlds.
Because they don't have to destroy everything, they just need to fiddle with the sad fate, which is enough to plunge the world into despair, and then carry out harvest after harvest.
This undoubtedly means that bandits have become officers and soldiers.
Road robbers also become toll collectors.
"Let's just return empty-handed!" Bai Xuan said with complicated thoughts.
Although Bai Fan didn't feel sorry in his heart, he still showed melancholy on his face: "Who knew... Theobit I did not fall into the hands of other gods, but his own spiritual fire lost control and burned himself to ashes. "
"If we had rushed forward... we would have been melted by the fire."
Bai Xuan cheered up and said: "Forget it! I didn't expect to be able to repay the debt so smoothly. Besides, this debt will not be repaid entirely by the two of us. Wait a minute... I have found an idea and settled it for a while. Even if it doesn't work, Immortal, holding a three-foot sword, going retrograde to attack the immortal... is no problem!"
What Bai Xuan said was so natural that Bai Fan could only remain silent after hearing this.
Sure enough, he didn't understand the world of true genius.
But it’s really... hateful!
The old bard sat in the corner of the square.
Under the dry fountain, the lonely shadow reflected the coldness of the sun, blowing off the withered leaves.
The petals of the rose have long since dried up.
There are only a few scattered leaves still hanging on the withered branches.
"The streams flow slowly, and they will also converge into a broad sea. The flowers that have become mature as time goes by! My heart has withered. The beauty that I believe in my heart! It all seems so stupid now, and now I have to leave. Come on, the sunset... keep me here, let's go!"
The bard's song sounded lonely and cold.
Time began to accelerate into some meaningless speed.
In the 3162nd year of the advent of God, Queen Sophia disappeared in the fire that burned the palace, ending her legendary and tragic life, with ups and downs but lamentable.
When the palace that once represented the last glory of the Rose Dynasty burned into ruins.
Theobite II succeeded to the throne. He took the throne for less than three months before he died under the scissors of his lover.
Then came the third life, the fourth life, the fifth life, the sixth life...
They were all cursed by the Seven Gods. No matter how they resisted and escaped, or even broke up with each other... at the age of thirty, they would all die, and they would die at the hands of the one they loved.
Either directly or indirectly.
They also searched for the secret of Queen Sophia's immortality.
Some people speculate that it is because Queen Sophia's throne is not orthodox and has not been recognized by the Seven Gods.
So even though she has ruled the Rose Dynasty for forty years, she is only a regent and will not bear the curse.
Some people also think that it is because Queen Sophia has achieved true love and affection that even though she married the Orc King, she was not killed by the Orc King.
Until she fell in love with the Elf Prince, maybe there was the shadow of the Elf Prince deep in the rebellion.
Some people think that it is because Queen Sophia has some kind of protection left by Theobit I.
It was that power that resisted the curse from the Seven Gods and allowed Queen Sophia to escape misfortune.
The Rose Kings of the past generations have also been committed to searching for the legacy left by Queen Sophia to see if they can find a way to break or resist the curse.
Three hundred years later, Theobit VII succeeded to the throne and became king.
After four years in power, Theobit VII, who was not far from his thirtieth birthday, was even more frantically looking for a way out.
He became a famous tyrant.
All the women who slept with him, no matter how ugly or beautiful they were, no matter their age or origin, would be coldly executed by him the next day.
The servants who serve him also change every few days, and no one can stay long.
He allowed himself to become cruel and indifferent, preventing in-depth communication and further emotions from anyone.
I want to prevent that day from coming.
In September of the same year, a businessman returned the treasure that was rumored to have belonged to King Theobit I to the king, hoping to obtain the distribution rights for the rose water exclusively provided by the royal family.
Theobit VII opened the treasure box containing the so-called relics of Theobit I.
In addition to some ordinary jewelry and some incomplete manuscripts, what most concerned Theobit VII was the card depicting the shadow of a black dragon.
When he picked it up, Theobit VII seemed to feel a voice echoing in his mind.
Crush it and tear it apart, and he will get help and become stronger than ever before. He will crush everything...whether it is the so-called fate or those high-altitude...gods.
