After Becoming The Tyrant CH 186 Extra 2: The World You Want Part I
In 2022, Metzl, the capital of Legrand.
The weather in September was sunny, and people wore thin coats and walked on King's Avenue planted full of roses. The Royal Museum stood at the end of the avenue. It was now the largest museum in the world, and even included the Cathedral of St. Wyth inside. The Royal Museum had recently released a number of important medieval documents.
It even contained a personal letter from the greatest monarch Legrand ever had, Pureland I.
It was precisely because his letter would be on public display today that there were so many people on King's Avenue.
"Hello everyone, we have now arrived at King's Avenue, and in front of us is the entrance to the Royal Museum. As you can see, there are many people near me... Oh my god, it is exactly the same as when the crown of King Pureland I was on display last time."
The sweet-faced female reporter struggled to move forward among the crowd.
In the live broadcast video, comments flashed across the screen instantly:
[In what year and month can I have the Iron Rose Badge: Ah! I went to that exhibition, but there were too many people! I queued from morning to night, but by the time the museum doors were closed I still didn’t get to see…]
[The medic dog wants to be burned at the stake: The one before me! I saw it hahahahahahaha]
[This dog actually wrote 6,000 words: The medic dog before me, you are now under assassination]
The female reporter glanced at the comments while moving forward, and saw a dense barrage of "The medic dog before me, you are now under assassination", and even some bosses specifically threw high-energy barrage comment, the content being "I curse the medic dog to never be burned at the stake", which aroused the anger of other potential medical students.
Seeing the chaotic barrage comments, the female reporter's smile stiffened, and she began to worry about whether her live broadcast video would be reported for being too bloody.
But this thing... was really hard to describe!
Everyone around the world knew that Legrand's highest scientific award was in the shape of a burning stake and the highest industrial excellence award was a guillotine. This was a glorious tradition in Legrand, which originated in 1432. King Pureland I erected seven stakes at the original site of the First Academy of Sciences in Legrand, and in 1433 arranged a guillotine for each person in the first batch of heavy industry professionals. During the reign of Pureland I, many heroes emerged in Legrand, and countless geniuses also left their names in history.
Without exception, these geniuses had possessed either a stake or a guillotine.
Later, the stake and the guillotine became Legrand's highest awards. The burning stake even made it out of the country and into the world, becoming the symbol of the Abyss Alliance's highest award.
When the imagery of the Abyss Alliance's highest award was announced, the spokesperson of Legrand, who was the representative, solemnly explained on the podium the design concept of the medal based on the burning stake.
"...We all know that in the dark Middle Ages, the theocracy represented by the cross suppressed free thought, turning truth into fallacies and science into evil. The use of the stake the Holy Court used to burn scientists on as the highest scientific award is to commemorate those who have devoted themselves to the truth, and also to promote the spirit of truth and never give in to any authority..."
The spokesperson spoke vey righteously, but New Era netizens did not give him any face.
——What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just a fan of Emperor Pureland.
——Official rainbow fart!
——Who doesn’t know of Legrand’s number one male idol, the official licking dog works too hard to cover up
——Hahahahahahahahaha the winner in the end is indeed the burning stake! Weep away, Guillotines
——Damn you! The Guillotines protest! Under the official skin is definitely the Burning Stake Party! This is unfair competition
——Haha, it’s quite funny how the Guillotines are unwilling to admit defeat.
…
As everyone knows, there was a pair of sworn enemies in Legrand's academic world who have been fighting for a thousand years, namely the "Burning Stake Party" and the "Guillotine Party". Both discriminate against each other and uniformly against everyone who did not possess either.
Seeing that the live broadcast video might be shut down at any time due to bloody violence, the blonde female reporter quickly stopped a passerby for an interview: "Which exhibit do you most want to see after coming to the museum this time?"
The female reporter's move had an extraordinary effect, and the barrage comments’ attention was quickly diverted.
Because they found that the person who was stopped seemed to have an unusual identity.
King's Avenue was a rather special place.
During the "Rose Crisis" in 1432, King Pureland himself led the Ingres’ soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Cathedral of St. Wyth, and had passed through here. Later historians called the incident in which Pureland I beheaded the usurper Duke Grice at St. Wyth Cathedral the "re-coronation" of Pureland I, and this road became the "Coronation Road."
Later, in the 19th century, when the streets of Metzl were re-planned, a voting resolution was passed, and this historical "Coronation Road" was determined to be named "Pureland I Avenue", referred to as "King's Avenue", to commemorate the greatest monarch in Legrand history.
Out of respect and love for this "last monarch of the Middle Ages and the first monarch of the new century", no one was allowed to drive through King's Avenue but could only walk here. Even if the president of the League of Nations came, it would be the same.
In the past, when reporters stopped for interviews, they often encountered some great characters.
This time also seemed to be the case, and in fact, it might even be a little more special.
The man who was stopped by the female reporter was very young, with dark blond hair neatly combed back, very clear gray eyes and handsome features. He wore an expensive and elegant handmade suit, and there were even bodyguards in black suits around him——although the bodyguards were also sweating from being squeezed in the crowd.
And his face quickly shocked the netizens watching the live broadcast video.
Dark blonde hair! Gray eyes! And facial features very similar to the portrait of Ferri III!
——Wasn’t this the young prince from the Bressi royal family, Legrand’s mortal enemy, from the other side of the Abyss Strait?!
The young prince of Bressi, Charlie, who was said to be "most similar to King Ferri III". He was the most rebellious prince in the Bressi royal family. When he was sixteen years old, he refused to study at the first-class Karl University in Bressi and instead applied to go to Legrand's First College——which made the Queen of Breast angry enough to almost announce that he would separate from the Bressi royal family.
Prince Charlie was clearly a little surprised to be stopped, but he quickly smiled and replied with a somewhat excited tone: "Of course it is to see the personal letter of King Pureland I. This is the first time that Great Emperor Pureland's personal letter has been made public…"
In a moment of excitement, he blurted out "Great Emperor Pureland", which was the respectful name given to Pureland I by fans.
The faces of the bodyguards around Prince Charlie turned dark instantly.
The barrage comments were already laughing themselves silly:
[Eternal Rose: Hahahahaha, will Ferri III really not be mad at you?]
[History makes people go bald: My descendants have actually become fans of my mortal enemy?]
[Don't ask me to check for plagiarism: The one before me, the relationship between Ferri III and Pureland I is not that bad. Didn't they form an alliance during the Holy Army movement?]
[When will the notice from the First Academy come to me: Above, you mean the kind of alliance in which the two countries fall out again immediately after recuperation?]
[Descendants of the Dragon Slayer: The heart of a monarch is dirty. There are no eternal allies between great powers, only eternal interests. Tsk tsk.]
…
Prince Charlie realized his gaffe and hurriedly coughed: "I mean... he was really a very outstanding king. There are many monarchs born to be kings, but there is no one as outstanding as him. He personally ignited the darkness of the Middle Ages which had lasted a thousand years. If Pureland I had not successfully resisted the 200,000 Holy Army of the Holy See, then Bressi's restoration plan..."
Prince Charlie's self-correction was only getting darker and darker, and the bodyguards on the side could no longer listen.
Now, they were afraid that the hot search topic "Prince Bressi is a fan of Great Emperor Pureland" had reached the top of the list. If he continued to talk anymore, the Queen would really announce his separation from the royal family again.
The bodyguard stepped in and forcibly ended the interview on the grounds that "the exhibition was about to begin."
The female reporter had no choice but to let go of this walking hot topic creator: "In that case, let's quickly enter the exhibition hall. I hope that everyone will have better luck today and can successfully see the personal letter of the Great Emperor Pureland."
