Chapter 1096 1094 So, Birthday Celebrations Are Really Unlucky! Murphy Warmaster

Chapter 1096 1094. So, birthday celebrations are really unlucky! War Marshal Murphy

The Songhai people basically hold large-scale ceremonies in conjunction with their beliefs. Needless to say, the Creator is too high-ranking, so it is not easy to trouble Him to celebrate birthdays. Therefore, the symbols of the moon and the sun are very important.

After all, death and rebirth are a very important part of the cultural tradition of the Songhai people.

Unlike most celebrations that start during the day, the Songhai people start the celebration when the moon rises at night, which makes it difficult for those "foreign guests" who have a regular schedule. For example, the wolf girl who likes to go to bed early and get up early has already started yawning, but on the other hand, King Louis, who likes to hold banquets in his own palace, is very adaptable to this rhythm and is in high spirits.

The heads of state of various countries were arranged to watch the ceremony on both sides of the Pharaoh's palace. The heads of the 33 pilgrim families came on stage one after another, presented the carefully prepared gifts to the emperor of the Sand Sea, and recited the family mottos that had been passed down since the beginning of the era according to the ancient tradition.

Speaking of the Pilgrim Family, there is really something to say.

Each of them has his own unique style, which is not only reflected in the family emblem and flag, but also in the unique responsibilities they shoulder in the Songhai Empire. When Tracy had nothing to do these days, she analyzed the political structure of the Songhai Empire for Murphy.

It was a typical "feudal oligarchy" system.

The 33 families not only controlled their own oasis fiefdoms, but also shouldered a series of "national responsibilities" in the Songhai Empire.

For example, the impoverished Bom family is the most important supplier of sand dates and wine in the Songhai Empire. The family of the little mummy has the largest wine production and sales network in the Songhai Empire, and there is also an outrageous thing such as the sales franchise of more than 19 oases recognized by the empire.

The Ptolemy family, which currently presides over the royal power, is the "military nobles" in the Pilgrim family system. In addition to the Pharaoh's Songhai Guards, the Ptolemy family has the most elite scarab corps and infantry system in the Songhai Empire.

The father of the current Pharaoh, Thutmose I, was the military marshal of the Songhai Empire before he took over the ruling power.

After stripping off the hidden coat, it is not difficult to find that the important links in the entire empire's business, livelihood and political system are almost all controlled by the thirty-three families. It can be said that the thirty-three oases owned by the Pilgrim family are the ruling foundation of the Songhai Empire.

Although the pharaohs of other oases are also powerful, they are all juniors in front of these "ancient nobles".

After Tris's detailed explanation, Murphy discovered that the Songhai Empire actually followed the "family politics" set.

It's just that there are too many clans in their country, and they maintain a very wonderful homeostasis under the checks and balances of dynamic balance. In addition, the Creator's legacy promotes the development of productivity, so that political drawbacks have not yet affected the stability of the country.

However, there are actually dangerous signs within the Songhai Empire.

The most obvious one is the Mamluk rebellion three hundred years ago. It was originally just a border oasis pharaoh who wanted to go to war with the elves. If it were in other countries, such a thing would be serious, but there would actually be ways to curb it, but it would not work in the Songhai Empire.

The Mamluk family was one of the most solid supporters of the Empire's Dead Moon Church at the time. Its subordinates were in charge of most of the Dead Moon Church's material transportation, which led to the involvement of most of the Dead Moon Church when the Mamluk Pharaoh launched a rebellion.

If it weren't for the fact that Um Zhanxin, the silver dwarf architect who is currently serving as an honorary elder of the Stonemason Brotherhood in Transia and drinking wine, hadn't destroyed his brainchild, the Skybridge, the war would have directly led to a direct confrontation between the two ancient countries. It was also because of that accident that Pharaoh Bom I stepped down in disgrace, and all possibilities of establishing friendly diplomacy between the Songhai people and the elves were completely cut off.

"When I came to the Songhai Empire, the father of the current pharaoh, Thutmose I, was only a marshal and had not yet succeeded, but the then pharaoh Badis I had already been working hard to weaken the power of the Thirty-Three Pilgrim Families.

Supporting ordinary oasis pharaohs to participate in the politics of the empire, began to squeeze the power of the pilgrim families.

In addition, with the support of the kings of the underworld, the reforms went smoothly."

During the lively birthday banquet, Tris, who was watching the ceremony, explained to Murphy with her heart:

"The successor Thutmose I was very long-lived and was also the longest-serving pharaoh in the history of the Songhai Empire. He spent a full 14 0 years to smoothly introduce new forces into the empire's politics, and the current pharaoh has inherited his father's mantle in his 62-year history of ruling. If he continues to promote this strategy, it is estimated that when His Majesty Khufu inherits the throne, the power of the Pilgrim Family will be suppressed to a normal level.

According to my research on the historical context of the alien world, I speculate that by that time, Khufu will probably begin to centralize power, and the Songhai Empire will most likely get rid of its current isolation and begin to spread its influence on a large scale outside the origin. "

"That will be at least a hundred years later."

Murphy held Tris's hand.

He maintained a serious expression and answered with the flow of his heart:

"I guess you and I didn't know where to go to have fun at that time, if this world still existed at that time."

"Well, I'm really happy and touched to hear you say that, my dear smooth-talking little Murphy."

Tris stretched out her voice and said:

"But are you sure you're just going to have fun with me? Without Adele and Shani?"

". If you insist on thinking so, I can only be speechless. Adele will definitely go with us. In addition, I emphasize again that Shani and I are innocent. Don't fan the flames! If the outrageous things that our idle little players are doing are detonated, Shani will probably come to my house and strangle me to death."

Murphy shook his head and sighed:

"When we first met, I told Shani that she was not good at playing politics. But that guy always likes to jump in. "

"It's not Shani's fault."

Tris, who always had a lot of opinions about Grand Duke Shani, spoke for Shani in an unusual way. She explained:

"Shani has experienced the destruction of the country and the demise of the family.

She witnessed with her own eyes how the kingdom left by her father was usurped by the powerful minister Rurik. The bloodline of the hero king was slaughtered overnight, forcing Shani, who was still a spirited old girl at the time, to give up her human identity and escape into the midnight to survive.

It is precisely because of what she has experienced that the Romanov family finally After regaining the throne, she naturally did not want to let the young Angelina repeat the same mistakes. However, she had been in the midnight for too long and her personality had become very extreme.

It was impossible for people who entered the midnight not to be affected.

She felt that she was responsible for her descendants, but in the eyes of us outsiders, Shani had violated the most taboo in politics.

She was trying to turn the wolf girl into an obedient baby. The worst thing was that the wolf girl clearly had the "appearance of the emperor". Her every move was exactly the same as the legendary hero king.

Such a hegemonic thought , how could he be obstructed by the power from midnight? "

"That. I understand what you mean, Tris, but can you please not use these weird metaphors. "

Murphy complained:

"It is said that Mannis has been poisoned by the rotten plots of the other world and there is no cure. I think your condition is not light. What emperor's posture, what hegemony. You are the Grand Duke of Blood Eagle, you should not watch these. "

"I like it! What's your business?" Tris replied fiercely, and ignored Murphy, leaving the vampire lord helplessly looking at the performances of the birthday celebrants in front of him.

The oasis pharaohs of the thirty-three families quickly completed the process, and then the gifts presented by foreign heads of state came. The vampires ranked first, all because of the light of Lord Paying. Just by relying on the exaggerated friendship between the Lord and every pharaoh, the other kings and heads of state had to stand aside.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Songhai Empire was built bit by bit under the watchful eyes of Lao Pa. The Lord is the historical living fossil of the Sand Sea Empire. Didn't you see that the current Pharaoh had to treat the Lord with the courtesy of a junior?

It is impossible not to do this!

Others who say that they held you in their arms when they were young are probably joking, but the Lord said that he held you in his arms when he was young, which must be true.

Under Murphy's watchful eyes, the gorgeously dressed Lord Palano came forward on behalf of the Blood Alliance Clan. This showy guy wore the most gorgeous armor and made himself a long-tailed cloak. He held an exquisite box in his hand, which contained something that others could not understand.

However, when he came forward, the Pharaoh stood up from his throne for the first time.

"The remains of the fallen Lord of Hunting, the last remnants of an evil god in the material world, were carved into a protective gem by Lord Paying with the techniques of the Eastern Kingdom, entrusting protection and blessings."

Palanno raised the gift in his hand high, and he said in a chanting tone:

"May the glory of the Creator shine on you, may midnight protect you, may the sun, moon and stars be with you! Happy birthday to you, respected Emperor of the Sea of ​​Sand."

"Good! Good, good, good."

The Pharaoh was very happy, not only because this gift was really powerful, but also because he knew Lord Paying's cold personality very well. Now that he could make a gift by himself and give it to him, it meant that the Lord recognized his authority as an emperor.

For a ruler who considered himself a junior, the emotional value of being recognized by this gift was immeasurable.

He picked up the exquisite ornament on the spot, but did not wear it on himself. Instead, he tied it around the neck of Crown Prince Khufu beside him in front of all the spectators.

The meaning is obvious.

Following behind Lord Palano was the gift from the Blood Eagle Clan. When the giant sharks and their burly fellows carried the thing into the palace, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some timid ladies even screamed.

Mainly because this thing was a bit

Well, not very suitable as a gift.

It was a pile of gnoll heads made of strange metal.

The craftsmanship was not sophisticated, but it showed the despair and anger of the gnolls before their death. The base was made of very strange stone. It was broken, but there was some kind of power restraining it, so that the broken stones surrounded the metal statue.

As the birthday representative of the Transians, Lao Qin stepped forward and introduced loudly:

"This is the spoils captured by our Transian warriors when they conquered the Lord of Hunting. The broken throne of the evil god is used as the base, and the metal left after the defeat of the Burning World Demons, the pioneers of chaos, was purified by Governor Murphy to make the main body.

The metal used for embellishment on the top of this sculpture named "The End of the Evil God" comes from the remains of the Creator's artifact, the Scepter of God, after it was completely released.

We believe that this sculpture, which represents the power of the Creator to defeat evil, is the best gift for the birthday banquet of the Emperor of the Sea of ​​Sand.

The Transians worship courage and follow justice. May the Songhai Empire be forever protected by the power of the Creator, and may the Songhai people always walk on the path of following the God of Creation.

Happy birthday to you, the owner of thousands of miles of yellow sand. "

The first half of Lao Qin's introduction only made the Songhai nobles present feel excited, but when he said that part of the sculpture was made using the Creator's artifacts, those Songhai people who were pious or pretending to be pious suddenly exclaimed and cheered. The Pharaoh also nodded with satisfaction.

He stood in front of the throne and admired the sculpture.

To be honest, the production techniques of this thing are really terrible, but as Lao Qin said, the various symbolic meanings contained in it are indeed extraordinary for the Songhai people.

Next to him, Prince Khufu also puffed up his chest.

After all, he personally participated in the crusade against the Lord of Hunting. The God's Scepter that killed the evil god to the ground was also launched from the solar ship he commanded. He earned himself the title of "God Killer" at a young age. The future is promising.

"Oh, if only I could have been gentler."

Murphy sighed in his heart:

"For example, if you can leave something like the skull of the Lord of Hunting, wouldn't that be more honorable today?"

He thought so and looked at the more lively and grand birthday banquet scene. Next were the gifts prepared by King Louis and the Wolf Girl. Murphy was curious how the two kings would express their goodwill towards the Songhai Empire.

The Pharaoh sat back on his throne.

The two consecutive tributes of precious things made him feel happy and made a gesture. Khufu next to him immediately stretched out his hand on the plate next to him and brought a glass of wine to his father.

Pharaoh was not a drinker.

But today is his birthday, and as the owner, he deserves to enjoy a little indulgent happiness.

He held the wine glass and looked at the Sealand Royal Guards who walked into the hall and the Nord Guards standing further away. He was also curious about what kind of gifts these two countries were going to send.

The cold drink was put into his mouth, and the mellow wine slid down his throat and into his body, making the Pharaoh feel warm and comfortable.

At the same time, Murphy, who was about to have fun, suddenly heard a scream in his ears:

"Murphy! The timeline is disturbed at this moment, and the future of the Songhai Empire suddenly becomes unclear. Be careful! Something is happening to stop it, hurry!"

"!!!"

Mannis gave Murphy an angry warning.

He raised his head and looked up, just in time to see the Pharaoh remove the wine glass from his mouth. He ignored the etiquette and rushed forward, rushing to the Pharaoh's throne like a ghost. As the latter looked at him in surprise, he knocked the wine glass over with one hand. On the ground.

The amber wine flowed all over the floor, the mellow aroma spread throughout the palace, and the omega energy was transferred to the Pharaoh's body along Murphy's left hand that clasped Thutmnes II's arm.

Emperor Shahai, who had felt nothing before, felt unspeakable pain rising from his body at this moment.

He understood the whole story at this moment.

"Please, protect my country, Creator."

The Pharaoh only had time to say these last words, and then he twitched on his throne under the gaze of all the guests. Balls of pale smoke emitted when the poison of chaos was purified rose from his body, like It's like he's spontaneously combusting.

Murphy tried his best to save Thutmnes II's life, but the poison he drank in his mouth was too strong, and even the Pharaoh's still-dead body showed signs of turning into a chaotic creature.

"Hold on, there's still hope!"

Murphy said to the Pharaoh who was holding on to his arm and enduring terrible pain:

"Fortunately, I prepared for this situation in advance. I will temporarily seal you Mosna! Activate the beta sealing component! Come to my direction, quickly!"

The next moment, the effect of Time Exile was exerted on the Pharaoh by Murphy, forcing him to return to the state before he had just drunk the poisonous wine. However, the poison of Chaos could not be removed so easily, and the Pharaoh's expression was still painful.

"The despicable vampire assassinated our emperor in public!!! Loyal Songhai people, take action and control these murderers! Don't let them escape!"

Just as Murphy was trying his best to purify the toxins from the Pharaoh's body, a sharp and inflected scolding sounded from the chaotic crowd.

That was shouted by the pharaoh of a certain pilgrim family. The moment he finished shouting, the guy crushed a talisman and disappeared into the air.

The Lord who was summoning the Holy Spear knew something was wrong when he heard this shout, but before the vampire guests could react, the mummy dancers who were preparing for a performance outside the palace rushed in in a "killing assassin" manner. In the palace.

The Pharaoh was indeed assassinated, and everyone present was suspected!

Amidst the shocking shouts and commands of the Death Moon Priests, in the chaos, and in their dance-like advancement, the players in front were rushed away before they could resist. In an instant, more than six binding spells were thrown at them. On Tris, the scarlet witch gritted her teeth and resisted, but Adele, who was just about to become invisible next to her, was affected and was forcibly held in place.

Knight Palano immediately stepped forward to rescue the lady when he saw her in danger, but was entangled by a group of mummy dancers. The siege of six golden assassins made the Rose Knight lose sight of one thing. In a few seconds, he was nailed into three blazing sun trees that were specially designed to attack vampires. Cone, which made Palano let out an extremely undignified cry of pain.

this kind of thing

These bastards obviously came prepared!

"Bang"

The Beta Seal Components of the Warmaster were pushed by the flying backpack accelerator and smashed under the throne of the Pharaoh in the chaos. The Pharaoh, who had lost his mind, was then put into the opened biological capsule-like jar by Murphy.

"Khufu! Fulier! This device can temporarily suppress the chaos toxins in the Pharaoh's body."

Murphy turned around and took out the necessary evil. At the moment when he spread his wings to break through, he said to the panicked crown prince and princess:

"Everyone except you is suspicious. Don't let anyone else touch him! Take him to the Holy City of Origin. I will wait for you there. Don't be afraid! The Creator is watching here, and I will not sit idly by.

Be sure to protect yourself!"
