Chapter 402: Legal Morality, Empire, and Chaos Bracelet
Chapter 402: Legal Morality, Empire, and Chaos Bracelet
Sunan sat down in the living room area and nodded to Vascos.
Vasco was very excited, his face flushed as if he had discovered some treasure.
Su Nan has heard about the current situation of the Law Church.
A month ago, Michael VIII, in order to gain the support of the major churches of the Order Pantheon and at least keep them neutral and not support the Storm Kingdom, used the "Church Merger" to tempt the Pope of the Papal States.
But if the churches merge, the dignity and reputation of the legal church will be destroyed.
Vascos, who was originally the Patriarch of the Universal Empire, also had to face and be forced to admit the fact that the God of Law was not the God-King of the Order Pantheon.
And this is the foundation of the legal church.
This means that Vascos will face the possibility that the Church of the Law may be disintegrated, or at least become a small and insignificant church.
Michael VIII would do anything for the throne.
Vasco, who had been in despair, now seemed to see hope, and might even think that this was the will of the God of Law.
But Sunan undoubtedly wanted to make Vasco sober up, so he clapped his hands and allowed Blom, Vasilyan, and Warwick, who were obviously not easy to deal with, to enter the reception room.
When Vascos and the church leaders saw three powerful warriors enter the room, they immediately realized that Sunan in front of them was not a person without any foundation who could be manipulated by them.
Sunan said: "For some reason, I am also the Storm Lord of the Storm Kingdom."
Sunan tapped the table.
When Vascos and his bishops heard Sunan's words, they were unable to react for a moment. The one favored by the God of Law... is the Grand Lord of the Storm Kingdom?
How could this Sunan be so successful under the rule of the two churches of the celestial gods?
Hearing this somewhat familiar argument, Vascos paused and said with difficulty: "Sir Sunan, what do you think of the Storm Kingdom?"
Vascos was a little worried about Sunan. If he said something similar to what Michael VIII said, then he would be happy for nothing.
After all, the Storm Lord is notoriously pious and stubborn.
He was worried that Sunan might still identify with the Storm Kingdom.
Sunan tapped the table and said, "The territories of the Storm Kingdom and the Nicomedia Empire were originally the core areas of the Eastern Human Empire."
"The world is in chaos. I think the two countries should merge and restore the glory of the empire, that's all."
"In addition, the foundation of the Storm Church is in the Holy United Empire, not here. Therefore, the church of the empire is still the Church of Law."
Although Sunan had supported a bishop in the Storm Church, in terms of closeness, he was actually closer to the Law Church.
The most important thing is that he can confirm a fact from Emperor Caspian - the Lord of Law may really be in a semi-fallen state.
Therefore, there is less shadow of the true God behind the Church of Law, and cooperating with the Church of Law is far better than cooperating with the Church of Storm.
Patriarch Vascos showed a delighted expression. "Sir Sunan, we all agree with your point of view."
"The empire should be restored to its former glory. The Nicomedia Empire was not the real empire."
"So...what do you think of Michael VIII?"
Sunan knew that this was the Patriarch's last confirmation as to whether he had any intention of seizing the throne of the Nicomedia Empire.
Sunan said: "Michael VIII is a usurper. That's all."
"And I need your church to announce that he is a sinner at the time I want."
Patriarch Vasco's eyes twitched a little, and he said quickly: "But unlike the Storm Church, the tradition of the Eastern Human Empire is that the Patriarch has no power to interfere with the emperor or judge the emperor. The emperor's authority is above the Patriarch."
“We don’t have the power…”
Sunan looked at Warwick.
The old butler Warwick took out a whole scroll, spread it out, and said, "I investigated the life of Michael VIII and found that he obtained the throne by becoming the regent of John IV of the Lascaris family."
"Then, with the help of outside forces, he became co-emperor."
"What we can confirm is that he used blatant violence, blinded the young John IV and imprisoned him in a military fortress."
"Secondly, he launched a military coup and killed the young John IV, the original regent."
Patriarch Vascos looked at Warwick in confusion. He was happy that this favored one was so concerned about the affairs of the throne. This meant that he might have a chance to get rid of Michael VIII who wanted to merge the church.
But he was still confused, because what Sunan's housekeeper said was known to everyone.
Patriarch Vascos said to Sunan, "Sir Sunan, Michael VIII has indeed committed many evil deeds, but these have nothing to do with him being the legitimate emperor."
Warwick interrupted the Patriarch and said, "No, he is not the legitimate emperor."
"Next, here's the key point. I entered the city of Nicomedia and investigated and collected evidence from the citizens of the empire when Michael VIII became co-emperor. I discovered a problem - Michael VIII became emperor in a hurry and did not go through the two normal procedures."
"First, after he is elected, he must accept a public election by the citizens of the capital. Only after he passes the election can he become emperor."
"Second, he needs the Senate's certification."
Patriarch Vasco looked thoughtful.
Indeed, the emperor of the Eastern Human Empire is very different from the emperors of other countries. The emperor here needs to be elected by the citizens of the capital and authorized by the Senate.
In essence, the emperor of the Eastern Human Empire was elected.
Although the practice changed later, the golden age of the Eastern Human Empire was a period when a series of emperors who were not of family bloodline were elected and in power.
Therefore, these two steps were indeed retained in later laws.
It just became a formality.
Patriarch Vasco nodded. "From this perspective, he is indeed suspected of being a tyrant who usurped the throne. However, the empire has long been accustomed to this, emperors who came to power through conspiracy and military coup..."
Sunan said indifferently: "The decline of the empire began with the decline of the law, and the decline of the law began with the decline of morality."
"Military, economic, and diplomatic efforts are futile in trying to revitalize the empire."
"The only correct path is to restore traditional moral values and respect for the law."
"Michael VIII is an illegal emperor, and his predecessors were also illegal emperors. I will pursue the responsibility for a thousand years. Within a thousand years, all emperors who came to power in the same way as him will be vindicated."
"One is one, two is two. The law never allows ambiguity."
"One violation of the law is equal to thousands of disgusting crimes. I came to this land to administer the law for you."
Sunan's words shocked all the senior clergy of the Law Church. Patriarch Vascos stood up and said to Sunan, "You are worthy of being the Lord of God's Favor. Your devout understanding of the law is beyond our reach."
Su Nan glanced at him indifferently.
The Old Law Church had no other choice.
Now the divine family of the Nicomedia Empire had been almost suppressed by Michael VIII in advance.
For the throne, Michael VIII was willing to sacrifice his own sister, and he was also willing to take the initiative to downgrade the Church of the Law and make it a subordinate of the Papal States. This was extremely humiliating for him and weakened his power as an emperor.
Patriarch Vascos said to Sunan, "During this period, we will contact the nobles who are trustworthy and dissatisfied with Michael VIII."
"With just your order, we can wage war against the tyrant."
"But do you have your own army? Without an army, it would be very difficult to force the tyrant to step down voluntarily."
Sunan drummed his fingers on the table. "Don't worry about the army. I have enough troops."
"What I want is orthodoxy, legitimacy and people's hearts. If I want, I can take off Michael VIII's head right now, if Mary doesn't mind."
Mary Palaiolo, who was standing aside, bowed to Sunan at the right time.
"Your Majesty, I am your subordinate now, so I will naturally put your interests first. I only ask that you leave some branch bloodlines for the Paleologian family."
"Besides, Michael VIII poisoned me."
"He and I are almost enemies."
Patriarch Vascos and a group of senior clergy looked at the sneering Blom, Warwick, and Vasilian, who had remained silent but seemed to have something against them.
Although they didn't know who these people were, they could all feel something.
Perhaps, dealing with Michael VIII has never been a problem for these people.
Only one bishop looked at Patriarch Vascos.
The Asia Minor region is much more open than the Storm Kingdom. There are wizards, monsters, etc. here, so some people from the Church of Law have begun to doubt the identities of Sunan and others.
However, Patriarch Vascos ignored their suggestive looks and coughs, smiled at Sunan, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to address you as such. The grace of our Lord has appeared, and this already represents the will of our Lord."
“After all, the will of the law and the people is also the will of our Lord, the Lord of the Law.”
"Then I will win the hearts of the nobles of Nicomedia for Your Majesty. I will wait for Your Majesty to lead the army north and make the sinner who attempted to merge the church and blinded the eyes of the legitimate emperor pay the price he deserves."
Many of the senior clergy of the Church of the Law were about to react and there was no need for them to doubt or verify Su Nan's identity.
Because the Lord of the Law has given Sunan the most powerful proof - the mark of the Law Code on his forehead is the greatest proof.
Even if Sunan is the most evil demon king, as long as the Lord of Law recognizes him, they, the believers, will have no choice but to recognize him.
After some greetings, both sides had some preliminary understanding of each other, and Sunan asked the old butlers Warwick and Bloom to escort these church leaders away from his private estate in Miletus.
In the reception room, Mary said to Sunan, who was sitting on the sofa, "Your Majesty, Patriarch Vascos, will this trip be successful?"
Su Nan shook his head. "It will definitely fail."
Mary's eyes widened in confusion.
Sunan looked at the fireplace not far away, and suddenly the flames in the fireplace jumped up, causing the temperature in the room to begin to rise. It was already winter now.
"The clergy of the church are not very good at doing things."
"Secondly, the more people there are, the greater the chance that the plan will be exposed."
"Among the nobles that Patriarch Vascos has won over, there must be someone who wants to curry favor with Michael VIII. He will definitely reveal the information about this matter to Michael VIII."
Mary looked puzzled. "Then Your Majesty, why didn't you stop the Patriarch before?"
Su Nan smiled and said, "Is it necessary to stop it?"
"I don't need any military assistance. I just want legitimacy, so I want your brother to know about my existence. I want him to go crazy. Based on Mr. Warwick's judgment of his past experiences, Michael VIII is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals and has no bottom line."
"He doesn't even resort to dirty tricks when he's cornered."
"He will take the initiative to do whatever it takes to deal with anyone."
Sunan said: "But the most important thing is that I think he will invite the warlock group in Stormwind Castle to help him."
Mary had heard from Sunan before that in Stormwind Castle, the warlock group had completely sidelined the royal family.
Moreover, there is a primitive god of death in Stormwind Castle. Even when Sunan fought with him before, he could only barely escape and suffered a great loss.
There were no telling how many warlocks and energy creatures there were in the palace. Sunan's capable werewolf butler, Wolf Three, couldn't even get within five thousand meters of the palace.
Sunan said: "As long as the warlock group divides its forces, I can capture those high-star warlocks safely and easily. Mary, those high-star warlocks are very nutritious. If I can't digest them all, I can even give you some."
Mary smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"I have gained a lot since I met Your Majesty."
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could I become a second-ring wizard today, and a powerful ghoul at that."
After Sunan dealt with the matter, he returned to the study and continued his research on magic. Occasionally, the witch from the 'world' would knock on the door and come in to ask a few simple questions.
Later, Sunan got tired of being asked questions, so she simply arranged for an ordinary werewolf messenger to follow her. If she had any questions, she could ask her through the wolf pack effect.
The most important thing is that there is time to delay the werewolf messenger's questioning, so the "world" witch can take the opportunity to think about the problem more.
Five days later, in the study, Sunan completed a special model of potion magic - the second-ring potion magic [Twin Injection Spell]. He also completed the research on the Chaos Werewolf King and successfully produced a chaos bracelet.
These are all magics obtained by digesting the magical knowledge in the Great Central Library of the Assyrian Empire.
Su Nan looked at the Chaos Bracelet flying in front of him. There were dark magic patterns flashing on the surface of the Chaos Bracelet, just like an electric circuit. At the same time, there was a circle of spells hidden on the inside of the wrist.
The above means——[synchronization, connection, mimicry...]
Sunan smiled and said, "A golden werewolf hunter who wears this bracelet can cooperate with the hunter mask and the chaotic aura of this chaos bracelet, and use the abyss network progressive transformation to transform into a chaos werewolf elite."
"This way, the fighting power of my wolf pack will be raised to a new level."
