Louis already understood what the emperor meant.
The Wrathful King took the initiative to let Louis feast with him, because there was a conflict of interest between the two, which was reasonable.
But the King of Wrath and the great sin of Envy do not belong to the same race, but he actively chose to let Envy devour him. The implied message is quite large.
Did the Troll Tribe secretly cooperate with the Church of the Abyss? It was not impossible. After all, the conflict between the Troll Tribe and Tunisia suddenly escalated because of a legendary priest who fanned the flames.
There was probably something wrong with the sacrifice. The Troll Empire hasn't found that guy yet, and the response given was that he had lost contact.
But there is no guarantee that the long-cherished wish of the Troll Tribe has been fulfilled. Some of the trolls are cooperating with each other, and seeing the current situation they will choose to hide.
Who is really willing to become a bandit?
Or maybe there was something wrong with the Wrathful King himself? After all, in Louis's opinion, the Wrathful King's behavior was very touching, and even he, who was of a different race, had to give him a thumbs up and say well done.
Sacrificing flesh for the tribe and embarking on a road to certain death is a decision that not everyone can make.
But it was so great and glorious that Louis always thought of conspiracy theories.
Louis did not want to doubt the heroism of the trolls, but if the Great Sin Envy really absorbed the power of the Wrathful King before him, then the mystery surrounding the Wrathful King would be too great.
Don't forget, the Roxy Empire has already confirmed that if they are killed passively rather than actively, the opponent can only inherit the authority and skills of the previous generation of sins.
The authority and skills possessed by the previous Jealousy and the current Jealousy are exactly the same.
wrong……
What happened to the Roxy Empire?
Louis was shocked by the mystery. He looked at the emperor hesitantly and said, "Your Majesty, do you know anything about the Rockhi Empire?"
The Emperor glanced at him and said, "Why, you don't trust your allies?"
Louis nodded: "The alliance between countries is a combination of interests. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
I don’t believe it now, and they won’t believe it in the future. At most, we will selectively support each other on some common interests.”
The Emperor nodded and said, "Your thoughts are consistent with Beatrice's. That's good. As the core of the empire's power, this is a quality you must possess."
"The key is, I feel that the Roxy Empire is hiding something very important. They have never directly fought against the Great Sin - Envy before, and they have no idea of Envy's various abilities.
Not to mention the comparison with the jealousy of the previous generation.
They were able to conclude that 'passive killing' and 'active gluttony' are different. In the former, the perpetrator cannot re-condense the power skills like me, but can only inherit the skills of the previous sin... Excuse me, Your Majesty, without the jealousy of this generation for comparison, how did they come to this conclusion? "
Louis was sure that the Honorary Emperor Roxy didn't know much about this generation of Envy, otherwise he wouldn't have been so shocked when he told him the details of his fight with Envy.
The succubus bloodline told him that the emperor was truly shocked, even... angry.
But he originally thought that the anger came from the invasion of his own country, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
The Emperor tapped the armrest with his skinny fingers and said, "Don't be too conspiracy-minded. Locke did reach the conclusion through his own experiments."
"Um?"
"How do you think the great sins of the previous generation came about?"
Louis was stunned for a moment.
According to the Rockhi Empire, the great sins of the previous generation came about through great sin experiments.
But judging from the emperor's attitude, it seems that this is not the case.
Seeing that Louis was puzzled, the emperor told him an old story.
The experiment of mortal sin has a long history.
There have been many disasters caused by serious sins in history, but there have also been many people who chose to help their fellow men.
Being able to inherit a great sin itself indicates that the host is gifted.
Regardless of whether geniuses have good moral qualities or not, it is a fact that they are born with an innate ability to cultivate strong character.
Gaining strength makes you less likely to be seduced by external things.
Just look at Louis.
He is very aware that with his past life experience, he can crush many chambers of commerce and gain a lot of profits with his new business model in this medieval world. However, he is not too obsessed with money.
Things that are too easy to get are less cherished.
The great sin of greed?
Why don't you let me be greedy and see? ! Louis has suppressed his greed all his life, all thanks to the accumulation of the time traveler.
Oh no, I forgot.
There is also a friendly sponsorship from the eldest wife.
For him, who lived in an old and run-down house with mortgage and car loans in his previous life, it was really a stroke of genius for him to package himself as a gift to his first wife at the beginning.
Dear, look at the palace you occasionally stay in and the prince's palace built specially for you, and go directly into the lie-down mode.
The kind that even greed can hardly control.
In the words of the Emperor, as long as the wild sins can be found as early as possible and guidance is started early, it is not so easy for them to go to extremes. Instead, they can become the pillars of the empire.
Therefore, the top powers are very keen on major crime experiments.
The Emperor said, "Do you know when the first great sin experiment in this era began?"
Louis subconsciously said, "It won't be 100 years ago again, right?"
What happened 100 years ago has almost become a joke to Louis.
Even now he still has to clean up the mess that happened 100 years ago.
The dark side of the God of Love born 100 years ago, the Mad King, the God of Love with a split theocracy, the mother-in-law being severely injured, the first Black Sun incident...
There are too many things that have been causing trouble until now because we didn't clean up our mess back then.
Oh yes, the White Tower started trying the big crime experiment not just in the past one or two years, the earliest plan also started at that time.
If this were to be posted at the special effects Ultraman theater next door, I'm afraid rumors would spread that "everything was planned by that adult."
The emperor's face darkened: "Of course not!"
Louis coughed and pretended to be listening attentively.
The Emperor then said: "The Great Sin Experiment began to become widespread more than a thousand years ago.
Although there were no records of world-destroying natural disasters at the time, each country had its own trump cards and capable people, which did not prevent them from realizing that there would be major changes in the next thousand years.
All the major powers you can see have conducted major crime experiments in the past 1,000 years.
The High Forest, the Hidden Forest, the Crucible, the Dragon Empire, Tunisia, Roxy...even Amn, which was established only a few hundred years ago, has begun the great sin experiment.
But starting an experiment doesn't mean you'll finish it.
The Dragon Empire started the earliest, and the one who was mainly responsible for the relevant work at that time was the Sapphire Dragon King."
Louis subconsciously glanced at the emperor and said cautiously: "What about that incident back then?"
He really didn't expect that this matter could be related to the Sapphire Dragon King who had passed away many years ago.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, the emperor never leaves with nothing. He will never refuse anything that can strengthen the country.
Louis suddenly realized.
Got it.
The Emperor immediately changed the subject upon seeing this: "In short, the Dragon Empire started the earliest, but it was extremely difficult to go from 0 to 1. Later, the Hidden Forest used some tricks to obtain some of the Dragon Empire's technology and began its own research.
But as their national strength declined, the experiments progressed more and more slowly.
Tunisia followed closely behind, unwilling to fall behind. At that time, Tunisia was at the peak of its national strength and had just won the war with the Dragon Empire. Naturally, it was in high spirits and began to delve into it.
But then you know, they were dragged into the war.”
Louis nodded.
He knew about this.
The Hidden Forest is originally located in northern Tunisia.
How can one allow others to sleep soundly on one's bed? The rise of Tunisia will inevitably lead to disputes between the two countries, and geo-economics will make the resources of neighboring countries flow towards the strongest country.
So the Tunisians and the Hidden Forest fought for a hundred years, which is known in history as the Tunisian-Hidden Hundred Years' War.
The war ended with the Secret Forest losing everything.
"Although Tunisia won the war, it's not easy for them either," said Louis.
The emperor nodded and said, "How could it be easy? Originally, Tunisia, which won the war, had the opportunity to reap the benefits of the war, but during that period, the troll tribe experienced a major expansion..."
The emperor nodded and then stopped.
Louis looked a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I have read the historical records, and I know very well how the Tower of Eternal Day came about."
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly. He had already deliberately ignored this topic, so why did this bastard bring it up again?
After all, this point has to do with our own family.
Yes, Tunisia was a little too powerful during its peak period.
At that time, it was not just the Hidden Forest and the Troll Tribe that were worried about them. Don't forget that southern Tunisia also borders the Unther Empire.
The high-spirited Tunisia encountered the Enser people who were in their development period at that time, and finally suffered a great loss.
Yes, the Emperor was not yet born.
Back then, the Holy Emperor Enther led his troops to war. The emperor was in front of the army and his dragon chariot led the way. He defeated the strong with the weak and plunged the whole of Tunisia into the quagmire of war.
This war caused both sides to lose firepower, but they were ultimately won.
The end result was that the two great human empires began a centuries-long confrontation. In order to prevent the conflict between the two sides from further expanding, a huge buffer zone appeared between the two countries.
That buffer zone is the no-man's land that the Adventurer's Guild is trying so hard to gain.
Tower of Eternal Day.
Why is it called the Tower of Eternal Day?
It is said that when the war between the two countries was at its most frenzied, there was no more darkness over that area, and the extraordinary power rising into the sky illuminated the entire battlefield for a long time.
"After this battle, Tunisia probably doesn't have the energy to maintain the Big Sin experiment, right?" Louis sighed.
The Emperor nodded.
The Great Sin Experiment requires killing a huge number of Abyss Demons and extracting the original fragments of the Seven Deadly Sins from their bodies.
This requires that the country that initiates the experiment must have incredible military strength, and these forces cannot be tied down by the other side.
That war not only wiped out Tunisia's war dividends, but also deprived them of the basis for continuing their experiments.
The Emperor smiled and said, "After the war, the Tunisian experiment was forced to end permanently. As the victor, we got some of their data. As for the Hidden Forest, they were already unable to maintain their internal conflicts before they were defeated."
Louis nodded.
From the timeline point of view, when the Elf Kingdom was pulled down from the seat of the overlord of the era, it was forced to split into three kingdoms.
At that time, the Hidden Forest inherited the most legacy of the Elf Kingdom. At that time, the Hidden Forest was the eldest brother of the Three Elf Kingdoms.
However, as time went on, internal conflicts arose, and Tunisia, which was at the peak of its power, declined as expected.
At the same time, the Supreme Forest, which had been developing silently for many years, began its own rise.
After many twists and turns, the Secret Forest was replaced by the Supreme Forest, and it was even forced to accept many unreasonable conditions in order to maintain stability.
One of the conditions is related to Louis.
That’s right, it was also during that period that the inheritance of the Eternal Blade fell into the hands of others and moved from the Hidden Forest to the High Forest.
This led to the event where the Emperor punched the Elf Grand Chancellor, tore the Elf King apart with his bare hands, and snatched the inheritance to the Empire.
As time passed, along with the rise and fall of nations, many years later, a half-succubus inherited the empire's legacy and became the new Eternal Blade.
"The Hidden Forest and Tunisia both stopped the experiments, and the Supreme Forest took over the Great Sin experiment. With the experience of their predecessors, they advanced the experiment faster than any other country in the past." The Emperor said with a smile, "But they still failed."
"Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get to us, right?" Louis said with a smile, "If they succeeded, I wouldn't be here now. But what's the reason for their failure?"
The Emperor blinked and smiled strangely: "The world will not allow another Elven kingdom to appear. The High Forest is willing, but we will not allow it.
Moreover, the destiny was not with them. At that time, the power of the Great Sin was not very active. There were only two Great Sins in the entire world, and the elves did not have a suitable candidate to bear the Great Sin. "
Louis understood.
The Supreme Forest was not in a favorable position at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people, so it was inevitable that the experiment would fail.
"As for countries like Forge and the Empire of Amn, the reason why the experiment failed is mostly because they were unwilling to invest or their foundation was too weak. In the end, even without any organization, the experiment ended in failure."
"Until we started?" Louis asked curiously, "No, judging from the time, it should be the Rockhi Empire!"
The Emperor laughed and said, “Congratulations, you finally realized the gap and reality.
You guessed it right. The Rockhi Empire is the most powerful empire in the entire history of mankind. It is a supreme empire that was created without any external help, but through personal beliefs and the sacrifices of generations of thirteen families. "
The Emperor's eyes were somewhat lonely: "Child, do you know? Tunisia, Enser and Monai once had the ultimate goal of becoming a country like the Rockhi Empire.
What a dream it is to create our own future with our own hands!
Even I couldn't do this. I am strong, strong enough to be the sun of the empire and the black sun of the enemy, but that's just me.
I hope you and Beatrice will have the opportunity to develop Enther into a great empire like Roxy in the future."
Louis nodded.
Even for himself and Beatrice, he wanted to develop the empire to a new historical height.
Because the enemies they face are also at a historical high.
At this time, the emperor suddenly said: "Louis, go to Loxie, I need your legion to help them.
The last glory of the human kingdom is about to be extinguished, but I sincerely hope that they can preserve the fire, a fire without interference from gods and foreign races..."
The emperor closed his eyes slightly.
Louis was shocked: "The Emperor also foresaw the turmoil in the Lokshi Empire?"
