Chapter 24: You and I make a pact, build a country of hope (Ch 24)

“Make a covenant.”

This is a very sacred word.

God made covenants with man, more than one covenant.

As early as the creation of the world, when humans were still living in the Garden of Eden, God established the original covenant with humans, which included the responsibility of humans in the Garden of Eden to manage the earth, use its resources, and obey a series of prohibitions.

Later, when the great flood occurred, God made a new covenant with Noah and his family, which marked the beginning of a new world and the prosperity and growth of mankind.

As time passed, the last god to make a covenant with mankind was the Messiah, who was responsible for the salvation of the world. He made a new covenant with his disciples on Mount Calvary in Jerusalem. This covenant surpassed all previous covenants and became the guarantee of believers’ salvation and eternal well-being.

That is also the origin of the [Church of the Holy Trinity].

As a knight, Altria naturally knew about those sacred oaths – but she never imagined that one day she would become a “saint” who made a covenant with God.

Or, to be more precise, no one could have imagined that in this end-time when the Age of Gods was about to end, there would still be gods who could make a covenant with humans!

“That’s why I said before that it was the most unlikely time for a miracle to happen, but it did happen!”

The magician standing not far away marveled at the wonder of fate.

One was born in the end times and was destined to become the last monarch.

One is a god who should not have appeared in this era and has no room for development.

If these two great beings had developed independently without influencing each other, their endings would be completely predictable – they would simply be buried together with the era of gods that was about to disappear.

But now, these two great existences are connected together.

With the guarantee of God, the power of the king is no longer a rootless duckweed in the waves. With the support of the king, the glory of God is no longer an illusory castle in the air. The king uses God as a backing to build an indestructible kingdom; God uses the king as a tentacle to extend his will into the secular world.

The two complement each other.

“Therefore, I establish my covenant between me and you, an everlasting covenant.”

“Altria Pendragon.”

“As long as you are still the king of this country, as long as you are still willing to be the king of this country. Then I am willing to support your ideal country for you. I promise you that in that noble country, the end of the world where people suffer will never come.”

The sonorous and powerful sound fell to the ground like a mountain.

Not only Altria, but everyone present heard the oath and felt the power contained in the oath in the next moment.

“This, this is…”

Feeling the power suddenly surging from his body, Kai couldn’t believe it and his eyes widened.

Just at that moment, he felt that his strength had more than doubled.

What happened? He suddenly became stronger?

“No, it isn’t.”

After carefully feeling the changes in the surrounding environment, Kai has found the reason:

The concentration of [ether element] in the surrounding air suddenly increased.

The mysteries that were supposed to have been lost with the end of the Age of Gods have now all returned to this land – slowly, they have recovered to the concentration they had during the heyday of the Age of Gods.

Of course, such concentration has a range, which is roughly this small town – because Altria’s influence is now limited to this small town.

God’s promise is only effective in the king’s ideal country.

“This is the importance of God.”

“God is the pillar that connects heaven and earth, and also connects the surface and the inner side of the world. As long as there is a god in the world, these ether elements will automatically gather around him, instead of being lost to the inner side of the world in vain.”

“Although I don’t know what the long-term consequences will be…but at least in the short term, the crisis of the end of the world has indeed been temporarily resolved.”

Merlin seemed relieved.

But if you look closely at the expression on his face, you will find that he is not smiling at all at this moment.

…

Ignore the magician’s thoughts for now.

In short, under the witness of all the knights, God and the King once again made a vow to bring true peace to this island.

But, how to say it.

Compared to the shock or fanaticism in other people’s eyes, Altria always felt a sense of… absurdity and weirdness when she looked at the “White Dragon God” in the sky.

Well, Merlin had actually told her that he was a god, but he appeared in the world in the form of a dragon.

But in Altria’s eyes, Shirataki’s image has always been a white baby dragon with a striking big head – she had eaten with that cute baby dragon two months ago.

Therefore, looking at the giant white dragon in front of her that was so huge that it could be described as “blocking out the sky and the sun”, the girl did not feel any sense of reality at all.

She always felt that this was an illusion, something that the naughty little dragon had deliberately created to fool people.

But, unfortunately.

She tried to reach out and touch the white dragon’s body, but the smooth and cold white scales told her that everything that happened before her eyes was not false, but real.

“How about I take you for a ride?”

Shirataki stretched out his claws and held the girl in his palms. His huge body formed a sharp contrast with the petite body of the young queen. But at the same time, the onlookers believed from the bottom of their hearts that these were actually two giants of equal size “looking at each other”.

“good.”

Altria nodded and sat on Shirataki’s head, which was still very big after the evolution.

The next moment, the white dragon flapped its wings and took her directly to a height of ten thousand meters.

This was the first time in her life that she had been to such a high place. She stood there and looked down. In her impression, Britain, which was supposed to be vast and boundless, had turned out to be a small island the size of a fingernail, hanging alone in the far west of the world, surrounded by the sea on all sides.

“So small.”

She looked at the island, was silent for a long time, and finally uttered this emotion.

Compared with this vast world, that small island seems really insignificant.

But it is on this small and insignificant island that there is something that she is determined to protect with all her might.

“Let’s go back.”

“The people living on this island are still waiting for us to save them!”

Altria urged with a smile.

No matter what the final outcome is – at least at this moment, the girl felt from the bottom of her heart that she had really found a way to save the island.
