April 1st is April Fool's Day.
Four itself is the holy number of the path of wisdom, just like "The Tantra of Fool's Song" itself is also the tantra book of the path of wisdom.
This is the day when the elves commemorate the death of Dionysus the Fool before the arrival of the Eternal Age.
Not many humans today still remember this incident.
At the beginning, Hengwo had not ascended to the position of Pillar God, and Xitiansi had not yet been born; the era of "beasts" had not yet ended, and the rule of "power" still existed - in the world of endless darkness, Everything is so primitive and savage. The winner takes all, the weak eat the strong.
Fools walk the earth, crazy and eccentric, flattering those big figures as "sages", but harshly point out their selfishness, ignorance, stubbornness, madness and greed. Even the church and the pope often appeared in his criticisms.
He sympathized with those mortals who were helpless and precarious in the war of gods. He called them "fools" and scolded them, sympathized with them, and praised them at the same time.
He naturally offended many people.
However, the Fool also has many friends, and he can indeed fight. So it just makes people feel extremely helpless. When big shots in many places saw the Fool coming, they treated him respectfully and courteously, fearing that he would say something disturbing again, or record his scolding words in poems that would be passed down through the ages.
He himself is a strong man, but he stands on the side of the weak.
The sun had not yet risen at that time, and the Fool was the only fire in the dark night.
The fool dares to deny even the gods - in the past, the Tiansi was called "God", while the apostles were called "Congshen". Even the extraordinary beings and phantoms of the fifth energy level can be called "demigods" or "false gods".
People look up at the sky, and all the stars in the sky are gods.
When people see the gods on earth, they must bow and bow.
Although the Fool himself did not become a god in the end, his will remained. In order to commemorate the Fool, April 1st became the "Fool's Day", just like the holy days of other pillar gods.
...Although the Fool himself may not agree with this matter.
However, on this day, people's crazy actions and arrogant words are usually forgiven, because they can be called "commemorating fools and imitating fools' speeches." And many people will also mix the truth with their lies on this day, and those speeches that seem to be true and false are more like fools.
At first, people set the "time when you can lie" as "before the sun rises." Later, because the schedule of normal people did not match, it was gradually changed to before noon, that is, before the sun that illuminates the sky and the earth reaches its peak.
But later, people gradually forgot the name of the Fool.
Today, the name "The Fool" only exists in occult books and exists as a piece of mysterious knowledge. There is only the inheritance of April Fool's Day left in the world, but people have long forgotten thisFor whom lies are told.
The church was stuck in announcing the lifting of permanent neutrality in the morning of this day - if it had been another day, perhaps the controversy would not have been so big.
People were arguing fiercely, but they didn’t know whether what they said was true or false.
——Maybe people already knew the truth from the beginning, but some people wanted it to be false.
In Avalon, there isn’t much concern about this. On the contrary, many people regard it as a talking point - after all, everyone knows that the pope of this generation is an Avalonian, or their minister, who is about to become their prince!
This is one of our own!
Isn’t that a happy event when the shackles and chains are taken off?
But in today's Star Antimony, this news has caused intense confusion-
At this moment, the Children of the Moon in the Red Castle gathered together.
The first Red Chancellor Peng Bonazi is dead, and now the leader of the Children of the Moon naturally becomes Queen Louise.
She is a powerful enough Moon Child, and now she is the power agent of the orthodox royal family - Valentine VII is her husband, Valentine VIII is her child, in other royal families With no one jumping out to inherit the throne, it was only natural for her to help the "bedridden" Valentine VIII act as an acting official.
When they heard that the Theocracy had lifted its neutrality, their first reaction was—could this be aimed at them?
“Don’t worry.”
Louis looked gloomy, but her mood was quite stable: “According to the rules of the Theocracy, ours is a change of rights within the country...ours The father is Peng Bonazi. He is one of the founders of Xing Antimony, and he is not an outsider from any point of view."
"...But the problem is, "There is a young man." The Son of the Moon asked cautiously, "The current Pope is Aiwass Moriarty, right? As a human being, will he really follow the traditions of the Theocracy?"
"—He must follow. "
A middle-aged man who looked about forty or fifty years old spoke with a strong tone - he is General Lister, who is also the Minister of the Navy of Star Antimony.
Because of the special characteristics of the Moon Children, when they control the upper echelons of a country, they often try to give priority to controlling their navy. If the navy is not firmly in their hands, they can easily be trapped somewhere by the weakness of "moving water", or drown in the sea. Therefore, those who control the ships must be their own people.
Before minister Liszt became a son of the moon, he was sent to the Theocracy for more than ten years. It can be said that they are the experts of the Theocracy among the Children of the Moon.
“The elves in the Theocracy are not saints without desires. Their cardinals are also divided into several factions, one of which rigidly follows all traditions, and this faction is almost the voice of The biggest.
“And Aiwass is just a generation.pope. He is not the real Pope... According to the White Saint, she will succeed the Pope before the end of the year. In other words, he is just a transitional person. In this case, the Theocracy will not let him have too much power. "
"Is it possible," Louise modestly asked General Lister, "that the founding of the Eternal Theocracy was not led by Pope Moriarty? "
"This possibility exists, but it is not very likely. "
The Minister of the Navy shook his head and said seriously: "It's just like what I said - because the opinions within the Theocracy are always divided, so if it is a 'unanimous' resolution, it must be There are external forces intervening and interfering with the thinking of the cardinals.
"The cardinals of the Theocracy are all stubborn freaks. Everyone is as weird as a dark figure, and there is no possibility of compromise on issues of principle, even the Pope's The order may not be executed, so if they can pass it collectively, something must have happened.
"I think that first of all, we can rule out the possibility that they founded the country to interfere with the situation in Star Antimony. After all, the current situation in Star Antimony is nothing more than a small fight... We haven't even started a civil war. Although the War Department has surrendered to the Society, they have not launched an attack on us, have they?
"In the long lives of the elves, there have been many more serious things than this. For the elves, the current chaos in Star Antimony is not even worth sending out paladins for mediation-otherwise if The Theocracy has clearly expressed its attitude of "I don't want you to continue to fight." Do you think we will continue to fight like this?"
"...Of course not."
Louis was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded and admitted.
I have to say that if the Theocracy really puts pressure on them... they may be really timid.
They have always believed that Pomponazzi was the first person under the Pope. But that was the first person "under the Pope" after all. Not to mention, Peng Bonazi is no longer here.
And the person who killed Pomponazzi is in Star Antimony - if the Theocracy puts pressure, they can really take advantage of it.
In that case, at least they can retain their influence and power.
Because they have never failed, they just succumbed to the pressure of the Theocracy...
But who can withstand the pressure of the Theocracy?
Then people will understand them.
But if they were really run over by the Theocracy, the situation would be completely different.
Fortunately, after General List's analysis, he has basically been able to rule out this situation...
Louise also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the worst case scenario of "The Theocracy intends to directly intervene in the Star Antimony situation" can be ruled out, then other scenarios are actually acceptable.
The other side.
The War Department has a very serious attitude towards this.
They have some ideas about thisA completely different perception from Moon Child.
——The Theocracy is here for them!
And they also gave the reason -
"Tell me," Master Walter said with a serious face, "who leaked it.
