Chapter 102: Crowned King of Nine Kingdoms!

In the solemn and dignified beastman folk song "Song of Amenos", nine kings stood in a row, half-kneeling on the ground.

They showed their dark necks, waiting for Horn's coronation.

Picking up a crown made of branches and flowers, Horn solemnly placed it on King Hitten's head.

Then he took Bonard's jar of holy oil mixed with lard and smeared it on the king's forehead.

Taking two steps back, Horn picked up the crooked scepter with the Chinese character "吳" on it and tapped Queen Hitten on both shoulders and forehead.

"With the help of the Holy Father, the Holy Mother, and the Holy Missal, I will protect the Papal States and its citizens by law and doctrine, as a king should do, within the limits of my power."

Horn recited with a straight face.

And King Hittian bowed his head: "I promise in the name of Myrcella to the people entrusted to me."

After saying this, Horn picked up a patchwork bag and tied it around King Hitten's bucket-like waist, hanging it on the corner of his apron.

Horn signed his own name, Alvin, on the coronation document that had been stamped in advance with a carrot seal, and handed the document to Queen Hiden.

Kneeling on one knee and receiving the document with both hands, Queen Amazon of Hittia officially became the queen canonized by the Papal States.

The Hittian Kingdom with a population of 53 finally became a vassal state of the great empire of the Papal States with a population of 1,200.

congratulations.

"The ceremony is over!" Bonard shouted in a mysterious voice.

The coronation ceremony of the king was actually a way to appease the barbarian tribes in the early days of the Aiel Empire.

No one knew where these beastmen heard this from, or whether it was passed down from ancient times, but they were demanding to be enthroned like someone trying to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat.

My Big Al died early!
But in order to avoid being harassed, Horn had no choice but to obediently play along with them.

Anyway, this is not the first time, and Horn is already very familiar with it.

In this way, all nine queens were crowned one by one. Horn handed over the last document, rubbed his sore arm and looked up at the sky.

Seeing that it was getting late, just as Horn was about to say goodbye to these queens, Queen Hiden suddenly came to Horn's side.

"Your Majesty, besides the canonization, I actually have another request. I would like to ask you for a holy oil."

Horn handed over the lard ointment in his hand: "You want this?"

"Not this one, the yellow one."

After talking to the old lady Queen for a long time, Horn finally realized that she actually wanted some allicin.

How did she know that? Horn gave Busak a questioning look.

Bushak pointed to the released prisoners who were standing obediently beside the sedan chair.

They probably saw Madeline using allicin to treat diarrhea and fever.

Horn was in a dilemma now. Other things would be easy to deal with, but this allicin was used to save lives, and its shelf life was less than a month.

"We can exchange clothes and herbs, as well as food or slaves, as tribute in exchange for the holy oil."

Seeing Horn's hesitation, the queen immediately pleaded.

Madeleine suddenly coughed lightly and walked to Horn's side: "We can ask them to exchange garlic and herbs. We brought a small distiller, and Chilvis can operate it..."

Due to the cooler weather and the swampy environment, many people did catch colds, and the medicinal materials were consumed very quickly.

As for the small distiller, it belonged to Chilvis. Since the fake liquor had to be moved around, a large distiller could not be used.

"Okay, you can exchange them with herbs and garlic. You can discuss the exact amount with Boussac and Madeline."

After the talk, the old ladies finally left satisfied, and Horn also thought he could set off, after all, it was getting late.

But he found that the guards who came with the queens stood there motionless.

"What, what does this mean?"

"The recruited warriors, these are the strongest warriors in our kingdom, are you dissatisfied?" Hearing Horn's words, Amazon turned back from the path and asked in surprise. Horn finally remembered after being reminded by Bonard.

This is another old tradition of the El Empire.

When they established a kingdom, they would also recruit warriors from the kingdom to join.

Many high-ranking officials and generals of the Aiel Empire were descendants of warriors and leaders from various barbarian kingdoms.

As time goes by, those kingdoms that are close to the mainland and have a deeper degree of Alization will even go ashore and transform into organized legions.

During the Holy Aiel Empire, they disintegrated into kingdoms.

For example, the predecessor of the Frankish Kingdom was the Frankish Legion, and the predecessor of the Frankish Legion was the Gothic Kingdom.

The predecessor of the Kingdom of Leia was the Imperial Guard, and the predecessor of the Imperial Guard was the Kingdom of Celia.

Forget it, there are only eight or nine of us anyway. Horn patted the shoulders of these female warriors and said, "Great, then you should set up a guard, called the Varangian Guard, which means axe warriors in the El language. Your name is Gelgo, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied the female warrior from the Kingdom of Hittian.

"You will be the captain of the Varangian Guard."

After settling these female warriors and bidding farewell to the queens for the last time, Horn finally set out on the journey forward.

The autumn sunlight appears somewhat patchy in the mist rising from the swamp.

The fragrance of flowers, cooking smoke and the smell of grass are intertwined together, making it difficult to breathe.

It has to be said that with these Varangian female warriors, Horn's marching speed became much faster.

Most of the problems and pitfalls encountered during the swamp march can be basically avoided by these Varangian female warriors.

Several people who were poisoned by snakes were also detoxified by them using homemade herbs.

Madelan looked at the Varangian guards who were exploring the way ahead and said, "In fact, I have never understood how they can speak Norn? They have never been out of the Black Bone Swamp, let alone the Norn Kingdom."

"Because Norn is the language of the natives of this land." Horn shook the reins nonchalantly, "The continent we are on was originally called Norn Continent, but later the Norns were driven to the reservations in the east and north."

"We are the ones coming?"

"What else?" At this point, Horn suddenly remembered something. He controlled the horse, took a few steps back, and came to Sissi's side.

"Brother Xixi, I noticed today that your face looked strange when you talked about Lilith. What's wrong?"

As Sissi walked, she kicked away a spider that crawled out of the mud: "I've heard of the name Lilith before."

"Which witch is it?"

"No, it's not." Sissi shook her head and brought up another topic, "Do you know what god the Flesh and Blood Court believes in?"

"Do they have gods they believe in?" Madeleine came up and asked curiously.

Horn thought about it carefully. He remembered seeing it in the files of his church: "I think it's called the Lord of Immortality?"

Xixi glanced at him and said, "Yes, the god they believe in is called the Blood Clan's Ancestor, the Immortal Lord.

Because their doctrines are careful not to associate anything with God, they do not say whether the Immortal is male or female, nor do they give a name or a picture of him.

But the people of the Sicheng Hermitage once brought out a document from the ruins of the old Aiel Empire. The events recorded in the document were vague and bizarre.

We have always believed that it was forged by the Sicheng Hermitage, because the document said... the founder of the blood race was called Lilith, and she was Myrcella's twin sister."

Although during this period of time, Horn had already become numb to everything.

But when he heard the news, he couldn't help coughing violently.

Doesn't this mean that...

Besides having a mother who is a goddess and the Holy Lord of the church, I also have an aunt who is the ancestor of the vampire clan?
