When I looked up, I saw Her Majesty, whose smile was more dazzling than a gem:
"Sir Cromwell, welcome home!"
252 Quasi King (6k)
Looking at the Queen whose smile was as bright as a gem, Mozo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said:
"I also need to congratulate Your Majesty on his ascension to the Godhood! I am derelict in my duty for not preparing the appropriate gifts. I ask Your Majesty to punish me!"
According to convention, a powerful duke would need to prepare gifts for the emperor when he came to Beijing. Now he was meeting the new god, so he needed a gift of high quality.
So such words are very correct for lords and ministers.
After hearing these words, the smiling queen's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sadness. She then forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to burst out and smiled sincerely:
"Given your achievements, your safe return is already the best gift for me. In this case, why do you need to prepare so-called gifts?"
The Queen then stretched out her hand and said:
"Please stand up, Lord Cromwell."
Mozo also smiled and very naturally shook the Queen's hand before standing up.
This naturally made the Queen's mouth curl up a lot.
He was still himself, because she didn't mind him holding her hand at all, and she was even very happy about it.
However, this feeling came and went quickly, because after Cromwell stood up, he immediately let go of her hand.
This caused a hint of disappointment to flash across the queen's eyes.
But soon, her eyes were filled with more determination.
And she rarely thanked Andal in her heart, because if it weren't for him, she wouldn't be able to become a god, and she wouldn't be able to do all this today.
Sequence Zero of the Emperor's Path—the Lord of Glory. In his own country, especially in the imperial capital, the Lord of Glory is like the reincarnation of the original!
It is said that the original God once gave the sky, the earth and the ocean to his favorite eldest son, and promised him that he would be the master of everything. When he stepped on his land, he would be as great as his father.
Some people also believe that this may be the earliest concept of the emperor. The origin of the emperor's path also comes from this, but no one has yet clearly explained why the various paths were formed.
But no matter what, one fact cannot be changed, that is, Sequence Zero of the Emperor's Path can control everything within his own imperial capital, which naturally includes time!
In the Fog City, the earliest Isabel could turn back time was the moment she became a god.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the true god of the Emperor's Way, you can only make him leave your country, at least not in his capital. Otherwise, no one can defeat a living 'Original'!
As for why Isabelle wanted to go back in time, it was actually very simple.
She knew Mozo's answer, but she would not give up on Mozo, so she made a decision to redeem herself.
After thinking about this, the queen turned around and said casually:
"Although I have ascended to godhood, the future will still be full of troubles."
Mozo nodded in agreement with the Queen's words and said:
"That's true, but since Your Majesty has ascended to godhood, I'm sure many of these problems are not that big of a deal."
There are many difficult things in this world, but not so many for gods.
Although the Queen is a new god, she is still a god regardless of whether she is new or not.
The gods might embarrass the queen, but they would never take direct action like they did against Andal. At least they would not confront her head-on until the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable.
The gifts from many bishops also have this meaning.
Because Andal is only a Sequence One, while the Queen is now a Sequence Zero.
But having said that, there are certainly problems. At least Heather and Du Ze are a big problem, and there are also some domestic issues.
The dynasty is new and it is a time of turmoil.
Mozo said this in his heart with some emotion. The emergence of the dynasty seemed to be glorious, but in fact, only God knew how many troubles there were inside.
The Queen shook her head and said:
"You can't say that. Many things are so tricky and give you a headache just by thinking about them."
Mozo agreed and nodded with a smile:
"That's right. But do you have any plans?"
The queen who was waiting for this sentence immediately turned around and looked at Mozo and said with a smile:
"Indeed, but I think it would require a private discussion between the two of us. What do you think, Lord Cromwell?"
Mozo scratched his head and said:
"You should call me Mozo. I am more accustomed to this name."
This was not a big problem, so the Queen simply nodded and said:
"That's fine, but what do you mean?"
"Of course I have no problem with this, but is it so urgent? Please come over here."
As Mozo said this, he looked at the many messengers and bishops, and when the latter saw the gazes of Mozo and the goddess, they all smiled and said it was okay.
Are you kidding? How dare a mortal trouble God
The Queen raised her lips and said:
"Then there is no problem. Shall we go, Lord Cromwell?"
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
What else could Mozo say? Of course he agreed.
However, what surprised Mozo was that just as he agreed, the next moment he felt a flash before his eyes and found himself in the imperial garden.
This was the palace that Mozo had visited last time, where all kinds of rare and precious flowers were grown in the rooms.
But the difference from the last time was that this time not only was the Duke of Windsor not there, but even the maids and knights were gone.
There are truly only two people, him and the Queen. No, it’s one person and a god.
Mozo glanced around, and before he could speak, Queen Isabel, who was standing in front of him, said:
"There are only two of us here. No one and nothing will disturb us. This place is absolutely private. I am somewhat confident about this."
Mozo naturally had no reason to doubt this. If a god couldn't even do this, then what kind of god would he be? Wouldn't it be better to just sleep peacefully at home than to be a useless god
But this also made Mozo more serious. The Queen must have wanted to discuss some very important matters with him.
"So, Your Majesty, why did you bring me here? What do you want to say?"
The Queen looked at Mozo and smiled:
"When it's just the two of us, there's no need to be so distant and call yourself a subject. You've helped me so much. To be honest, I really don't know how to repay you."
The queen couldn't help but say:
"Let's put it this way, Ke, no, Mozo! Make a wish, and I will do whatever you want, no matter what it is. Remember, no matter what it is, I will agree to it!"
These words were very instructive, but Mozo just shook his head and smiled:
"I would be kidding if I said I didn't want you to repay me. But now that you've done that, I don't know what to ask for."
Mozo hopes that the Queen can help him, but he doesn't know how to help or how to ask for something in return from the Queen.
Such words made the Queen's eyes flash with more helplessness and disappointment, and then she smiled as if giving up:
"You are still the same as before. You are so selfless that I feel at a loss as to what to do."
"It's not that I don't ask for anything in return, but I really don't know what to ask for."
The Queen glanced at Mozo and said angrily:
"If you say so, then I will continue to ask you to work hard for me!"
Mozo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed like something big was coming!
Mozo immediately said seriously:
"Please go ahead."
After thinking for a while, the Queen said directly:
"You know, your contribution to me and this country is unimaginably huge. And you haven't received the due return at all!"
Hearing this, Mozo laughed embarrassedly. Yes, it was a loss that made people's scalp tingle.
Even when he looked back, he found it a little unbelievable that someone would help him so selflessly!
If this wasn't for some reason, then he must be a saint!
However, for Mozo himself, although this is a little unbelievable, it is actually easy to understand. He regarded everything as a dream and game that could be controlled.
All he wanted was an ideal drama and a perfect travel experience.
The Queen looked into Mozo's eyes calmly, then said jokingly:
"And it's because you don't ask for anything in return that many people think you are so devoted to me because you love me. Otherwise, they can't understand why you are so devoted."
Even though these words were said in a joking tone, they still caused Mozo to fall into a brief shock. After a while, Mozo came back to his senses, smiled, and then looked at the queen carefully and said:
"This, this is really, I don't know how to answer."
The Queen did not answer immediately. She just sat on a stone bench, crossed her legs, and leaned her head on it with her hands. Then she looked straight at Mozo and smiled:
"But this also gave me an idea."
Mozo frowned slightly and said:
"What does your majesty mean?"
The Queen looked at Mozo with some resentment and said:
"Thanks to the Grand Duke, many people now think that I am going to choose you as king."
After hearing these words, Mozo came back to his senses. He was stunned for a long time and his heart even skipped a beat.
After opening his mouth, Mozo forced a smile that was not so natural:
"This, this is really absurd. How could it be me, your majesty's king?"
Mozo wanted to say that those people were ridiculous, as they actually associated him and the Queen as a king and a god. But on second thought, it seemed that from the perspective of others, there was nothing wrong with this.
After all, in their eyes, Cromwell was a loyal minister who devoted his life to the Queen and died for her.
I guess after hearing this, he would think that there was something going on between the two of them.
Although in fact it was Mozzo who was doing it for the grand opera, and the Queen was inexplicably dragged into it and forcibly designated as the leading lady by him.
After scratching his head, Mozo leaned forward slightly and looked at the empress who had a teasing look on her face and said:
"This may be my fault. I can only ask Your Majesty to forgive me for a moment!"
The relationship between God and the king cannot be violated, but fortunately the queen does not have a king yet. So this should be just a funny thing for the queen.
But the two sides are ultimately in a superior-subordinate relationship, and at this moment there is even more of a gap between gods and humans.
So Mozo thought that as a minister he should be more careful. What if the queen said that this was not a joke, but a warning? If he was not careful, it would be a big problem.
The Queen also easily saw what Mozo was thinking, which made her look disappointed again.
Why must we strictly observe the distinction between ruler and subject
However, the Queen did not point it out, but continued with her steps and methods:
"I said, given our relationship, why do we need to be detained like this? No need to talk about subjects anymore! But for this matter, I want to thank the person who spread these rumors."
Mozo's face turned strange:
"I don't quite understand what your majesty means."
Isabelle still had a teasing look on her face in response to Mozo's question, but in fact she was already extremely nervous in her heart.
"Mozo, you should know that this is a time when the gods stay away from the human world."
This sentence not only reminded Mozo of Hevis and the others, but also aroused Mozo's curiosity:
"Yes, the gods are far away from the human world and live in their own kingdoms. Do you know anything about this?"
Mozo had asked the Two Sacred Trees why the gods stayed away from the human world, but just like the elves were xenophobic, the Two Sacred Trees also didn’t get along well with the gods. In addition, the Two Sacred Trees had their own limitations—even if they broke the sky, they were still just a tree...
