What Mozo has to do, naturally, is to throw this opportunity to the nobles.
After hearing what Mozo said, the nobles of the old seven kingdoms all swallowed their saliva, and then looked at each other and their neighboring inmates through the cell door.
Apparently, they knew something useful.
However, they still had some concerns about this. It was not that they didn't think Mozo would not let them go, but they were afraid that after speaking out, they would be targeted by another dynasty.
To offend one dynasty is already a huge disaster, but to offend two at the same time is truly a nightmare.
Mozo knew it was time to fan the flames himself:
"Do you think that distant worries are more important than nearby fires? Distant worries may not kill people, but nearby fires can really burn you!"
In a word, the reality was told to the nobles.
In response to this, the nobles of the old seven nations all laughed bitterly:
"You are right, Your Majesty."
Thinking about the future is a luxury for them at the moment, and all they have to do is to allow themselves to have this luxury.
After saying this, the nobles of the old seven countries immediately started talking at once.
What was quite beyond Mozo's expectations was that they knew unexpectedly much more
For example, how many soldiers and armaments the Du Ze Dynasty promised to provide them, how much territory and gold pounds they would hand over to the Du Ze Dynasty afterwards, and when and how the Du Ze Dynasty would dispatch high-sequence assistance to them, etc.
Although these things all went bankrupt with the defeat of Emperor Andal, they were still good cards for Loran. After all, mastering these cards would give him more lingering power and gain a lot of concessions when he was wrangling with the Duze Dynasty.
But what Mozo couldn't understand was what was going on with Andar. Did he really cultivate these guys as his confidants? Shouldn't these guys who were left after being killed by him be a transitional means for Andar to use and then discard
Why did he tell these nobles about these important things related to the Duze Dynasty in such detail? You should know that Andal not only told these people a lot of things about him and the Duze Dynasty, but also told them everything he had done.
For example, during what period in Loran he killed some key figures.
Ah, I understand. Emperor Andal told these people these things not because he wanted to train them as his confidants, but to enable them to tell me these things
This old guy wants to do both! On the one hand, he hopes to become a god with the help of the Duze Dynasty, while on the other hand, he secretly digs a hole for the Duze Dynasty.
Before Mozo could continue thinking, a nobleman closest to him told him a piece of news that shocked him:
"Your Majesty, the false emperor once told me personally that the King of Light of the Duze Dynasty, in addition to cooperating with me, also had close contacts with another group of forces!"
"And the false emperor is quite sure that this force should be the old survivors of the Monger Dynasty! It seems that they are going to deal with the Victory Church?"
After hearing the words "Mong Dynasty" and "Victory Church", Mozo's pupils shrank and he stood up from his chair.
How could the matter between Loran and Duze actually involve the long-destroyed old dynasty and the prosperous Victory Church
"Are you sure?!"
"Your Majesty, I can't be sure, because this is just what the false emperor told me. However, when he said this, he was very sure! But other than that, I don't know anything."
"And the one against the Victory Church is just my personal guess. After all, as you know, the Monger Dynasty was defeated by the Victory Church."
Mozo frowned and said to the other nobles of the old seven kingdoms:
"Does anyone else know anything related to this?"
This matter involves a lot of things, and Mozo really hopes to get more useful things.
But all Mozo got in response were bitter looks of people who hated themselves for knowing nothing about this.
After a hint of helplessness flashed across Mozo's eyes, he asked a few more questions, but these nobles were no longer able to say anything.
After shaking his head, Mozo read out the names of three nobles, including the one who mentioned the Mong Dynasty.
But what surprised the nobles was that Mozo said to them:
"I swear in the name of Her Majesty the Queen that your three families will retain their titles, wealth, and most importantly, fiefdoms. However, I cannot pardon the death penalty for you three personally."
"As for the rest of you, since you have revealed useful information, I can assure you that although I will deprive your family of their titles and territories, I will allow them to become civilians with their wealth."
In response to this, after a brief moment of shock, most of the nobles said with great gratitude:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Mozo nodded slightly in response. However, some nobles cursed loudly that they could not survive or keep their family titles even after vomiting.
But when it comes to cursing, all they dare to shout is this:
"You Purge King!"
These nobles were already at their limit in "insulting" Mozo by using a nickname they had come up with that was somewhat derogatory but difficult to tell exactly where it came from.
Because they are afraid that life will be worse than death and that death will be unpeaceful.
Given the relationship between God and the King, if they uttered any truly evil names, they would probably be lucky to end up living a life worse than death.
This is also a common weakness of the nobility. They have clearly reached a dead end and are ready to let loose, but they are still hesitant and timid. This is really funny and pitiful.
What was beyond the nobles' expectations was that after hearing this title again, Mozo turned around with a smile on his face and said to them:
"Thanks!"
This made all the nobles even more stunned. Didn't he know that this title had a derogatory meaning? Wasn't he afraid that this title would spread widely because of his thanks
But Mozo said with more laughter:
"I admit that I purged countless people back then, but who did I kill? It was corrupt nobles like you! I killed people in the court of Fog City and made rivers of blood, but I did not touch the countless people under the court, and I even repeatedly protected them!"
"You think that King Purge is an insult to me? No. You have misunderstood one thing. Whether a word is derogatory or complimentary ultimately depends on how the world thinks of it, and the world's opinions are not yours."
"So what if people call me the Purge King? They won't think it's an insult to me. They will just think it's very fitting for the king's deeds and achievements!"
"So I want to thank you. After all, the title of Purge King is many times better than Butcher."
After saying this, Mozo left with a smile amid the stunned gazes of countless nobles.
Taking on the title of King of Purge for himself and attributing it to his own achievements will make the world automatically strip away the derogatory meaning and turn it into a commendatory one.
In fact, Mozo felt that besides being very interesting, this would also make the real king chosen by the queen in the future feel much better.
After all, the fake king got a bad name with a negative connotation! As for relying on himself to make the word "cleansing" completely positive from then on.
Mozo doesn't think he has such a big face and achievements.

When Mozo walked out of the Fog City Prison shaking his head and laughing, Queen Isabel in the palace also put down the documents in her hand thoughtfully.
After she rang the bell, the female officer who had always served her pushed the door and walked in.
The female officer, who was wearing an outfit that looked more like a maid than a court noble, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Isabel is a goddess and a queen, so most people in Fog City still like to call Isabel "Your Majesty" without adding the prefix "Goddess".
"My Cromwell, no, my Mozo seems to have thought of his own king name."
The female officer immediately laughed and said:
"That's a good thing, but what kind of honorific did Lord Mozo come up with?"
The new king's name, pure curiosity alone was enough for the female official to ask.
The Queen knocked on the table and said:
"Do you think the word 'purge' is a positive or negative word?"
"This word doesn't have a clear definition, but most of the time, it has a certain derogatory meaning, right? Could it be that this is what Lord Mozo likes?"
The word "purge" is a neutral word in this world, but in recent years it has gradually become a derogatory word.
The Queen stopped tapping her fingers on the table and smiled:
"That's true, but my Mozzo said, well, to be honest I still like the name Cromwell, but never mind, since he likes it, let's just call him Mozzo."
The Queen had been obsessed with the name Cromwell for hundreds of years, so it was indeed a bit troublesome for her to change her mind suddenly, but it was not a problem.
Because the most important person has returned to her side. Apart from this, Isabel can accept anything else.
"When my Mozo was interrogating the nobles of the old Seven Kingdoms in prison, he said this about the evil title of Purge King that those guys intended to give him."
The queen, who told this to the female official, laughed from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, she was no longer the emperor of Luolan, nor the god of the new dynasty.
Just a girl in love talking about her lover.
The female official naturally saw this, and she smiled gently at the queen.
Your Majesty's heart is finally no longer lonely.
"He said that with his achievements and love for the people, no matter how bad the name is, it will be turned into the most appropriate praise by the public. What do you think?"
After a slight hesitation at the Queen's condensed words, the female officer smiled and said:
"Whether a word is positive or negative is not something that can be determined by scholars in a few words in books. Throughout history, there are countless words that have changed from positive to negative because of public opinion. Similarly, there are countless words that have changed from negative to positive."
"And considering Lord Mozo's achievements and status, I think this is indeed the case. And I personally think that the words that have been changed from derogatory to complimentary due to Lord Mozo's achievements are more worthy of Lord Mozo's status!"
"I'm sure that once this matter gets out, it will become one of the favorite poems of the bards. My majesty, perhaps in the streets and alleys of the foggy city, countless people will spread and discuss this matter everywhere."
The Queen also smiled and nodded:
"That's it, then."
Isabel knew very well that Mozo really liked this title, so she was prepared to help promote it.
Anyway, given their current situation, she couldn't make Mozo the real king. In this way, the title of king couldn't be officially determined. In this case, she could just wait and see during this period of time to see if everything would develop as she and Mozo expected.
If that doesn't work, just arrange for someone to interfere with public opinion. Anyway, it's not a formal title.
There was no need for the Queen to say anything more. The female official who knew what to do immediately bowed and left.
In this way, what Mozo thought was impossible slowly became a reality under the promotion of the queen who was always paying attention to him.
As Mozo said to Andal, the most impossible thing in this world is impossible.
-
At the same time in Rivendell.
After finally dealing with the mountain of government affairs, he finally stood up from the throne of the Sun King yawning.
At this time, a high lord also walked quickly into the Sun Palace.
He did not think there was anything wrong with La sitting directly on the throne of the Sun King and working there. He said:
"Respected La, Luoye has sent a message that Queen Isabelle of Loran will leave Loran soon to open up her own kingdom of God. At the same time, all matters of the Loran Dynasty will be handed over to the Purple Mask of the Wuxiang Courtyard, that is, Mozo Klein who came to our Sacred Tree Forest a while ago."
After hearing these words, La's face, which had just smiled because he had handled the government affairs, instantly turned gloomy.
La sat back on the throne that symbolized the highest power and glory of the elves, and after placing his hands on the armrests and crossing his legs, he raised his head and said coldly with an extremely oppressive aura:
"I know all this. I just want to know about that bastard named Mozo. Is he going to become king soon?"
The high lord knew that La seemed to be very dissatisfied with Mozo for some reason.
But he still felt that he couldn't openly call a prospective king a bastard. Although he was currently under the protection of the Twin Sacred Trees, there were still some things that couldn't be messed up. After all, this was a sign of respect for the gods and the king.
So the Elf High Lord could only say from the side:
"Um. Your Excellency, we have a good relationship with Wuxiang Courtyard."
"What's good about that? The people in Wuxiang Courtyard are just a bunch of voyeuristic villains and clowns. Such people are not worthy of being called friends of the elves. They are not worthy of being respected by the elves!"
As for the High Lord who still didn't know Mozo's true identity, he could only scratch his head and said:
"Well, maybe as the Purple Mask of the Wuxiang Courtyard, this human named Mozo's identity is not very good, but no matter what, he is a quasi-king!"
He was able to suppress his anger, but after hearing the word "quasi-king", he gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"This doesn't change the fact that he's a jerk!"
She was really blind at the time and actually believed that bastard who said he had nothing to do with that bitch Isabelle!
Now, the new god has ascended the throne and the new king will be established!
But what was even more unacceptable to La was that Isabelle had surpassed her!
Regardless of identity or distance...
This made La feel extremely frustrated. Under such circumstances, La only said a few angry words to Mozo, which could be said to be quite restrained.
The high lord was increasingly confused about La's thoughts. Why did she have such strong malice towards that Mozo? However, he still wanted to advise her:
