Chapter 144 Kingdom and Guild
Chapter 144 Kingdom and Guild
There are many guilds on the continent of Edeos. Some of them rely on each other, some restrain each other, and some fight each other.
Guilds of all kinds have their own beliefs, ideas and pursuits.
Some guilds pursue power blindly, some pursue harmony within the guild, some take entertainment as their mission, and of course there are a few guilds that take killing for fun and cause disputes everywhere.
In short, there will be as much diversity in the guild as there are personalities among the people.
Since there are human beings, there will be power organizations. There was originally only one unified kingdom on the continent of Edeos - the Edeos Empire.
However, due to the carelessness of a certain king of the empire, the originally harmonious empire began to split, and the lords who split apart each proclaimed themselves kings and ruled their own territories.
The emergence of territory was accompanied by the emergence of conflicts. The boundaries of territory in the early days were not clear, which led many kings to launch wars for their own interests.
The long war lasted for hundreds of years. The brutal fighting led to the people's miserable lives, and the population of the entire Edeos continent dropped sharply during this period.
In addition to wars, people would also be attacked by monsters from time to time, which made the already difficult lives of the people even more miserable.
In some countries, due to lack of personnel, even underage children were forced to go to the battlefield. It is said that this is a tragedy that has never been seen since the holy war to liberate the continent of Edeos.
Just in the late stage of the endless struggle, hope finally appeared.
Stateless, neutral organizations known as "Guilds" joined the battlefield.
They used their magical powers to repel the armies of various countries without any harm. Even the coalition of many countries could not defeat the members of the guild. They also used their powers to repel the monsters that were causing trouble in various places.
The suppression of absolute power eventually swept all the battlefields. The kingdoms finally succumbed to the power and signed peace agreements.
The leader of the "Association" also attended the meeting where various countries agreed to sign a peace agreement.
No one would have thought that the leaders of the "guild" were actually a girl and a boy who looked to have just turned eighteen.
The girl with straight brown hair walked up to the meeting host's seat and sat down, and the white-haired boy followed and sat next to her.
Seeing that the representatives of various countries had quieted down, the girl immediately spoke.
"Hello everyone! It's our first meeting, thank you for your guidance. We are the leaders of the 'guild', and we are the supreme commanders of the people who interrupted your boring fights."
Representatives from various countries stared at the girl without saying a word.
"The power that defeated you is God's grace. You may have forgotten who is the real ruler of this continent because of those boring wars!
You have forgotten the freedom and comfortable life that the God of Light and the God of Darkness have given you, and you are determined to start a war and cause great suffering for the sake of the little interests in front of you? Is this allowed by the two main gods?"
The girl's questioning made all the representatives present silently lower their proud heads, which was a sign of reverence for God and submission to power.
"Besides, you are really sorry for what you have done! He has done so much for you! You don't even cherish the good life in front of you! You are wasting his hard work in vain."
Everyone knew that the ■ mentioned by the girl was referring to the warrior who led the Edos Empire to victory over the overwhelming demon army during the holy war. This was also a legend from thousands of years ago that only the nobles and the royal family knew about.
The young man with white hair and black clothes gently hugged the girl who was already crying and took over her unfinished work.
"Perhaps you don't know why we are enemies with you all and why we gathered you all here to sign a peace agreement."
The boy paused for a moment, then continued the topic in an extremely authoritative tone.
"Light and darkness will be with everyone! And His will must continue.
He does not like war, but He took up arms right here where we are sitting today!
As His first and last servants, we do not want to waste His efforts.
Therefore, the God of Light and I will give the power of grace that we originally sealed back to the people of the Guild, so that they can use our power to maintain peace on this continent of Edeos."
The representatives of the kingdom were shocked. They never expected that the creator god of the continent would appear before them. What they didn't expect was that it was the power of God that defeated them.
"Use this power well! No matter who it is, as long as they have faith in us, they will gain our power to a certain extent.
Just use this power to live a good life! We allow you to establish your own guilds, but if you abuse the power of this grace, don't blame us for being ruthless in the consequences..."
After the representatives signed the peace agreement, they returned to their respective countries with the will of the two gods.
Soon after, the first guilds appeared on this continent, and just as the two gods had said, those who joined the guilds with faith in their hearts immediately gained incredible power.
Some people become extremely strong, some become extremely agile, some can use magical powers, and some can summon strange things.
All kinds of extremely magical powers appeared on the continent, and the continent also underwent various changes due to the addition of new powers.
Unconsciously, an inseparable relationship was formed between the kingdoms and guilds.
The power of the guild has become a symbol of the kingdom's strength. The kingdom will raise various commissions and assign them to the guild to provide financial support for the guild's mercenaries, and sometimes allocate additional budgets to cover the guild's daily expenses.
Slowly, peaceful life returned to the continent of Edeos, and the people also gained convenience because of the emergence of the guild.
For example, materials that no one dared to collect before can now be commissioned to be collected by the strong people in the guild. And because collection has become convenient, prices have unknowingly become less high.
For example, moving things previously required a lot of manpower or livestock, and the efficiency was not very high, but hiring mercenaries made it easy. People's daily lives have changed dramatically.
Although some kingdoms would use the power of the guild to provoke other kingdoms, for a long time no princes or nobles dared to defy the will of the two main gods.
The kingdoms generally lived in peace with each other, with only minor conflicts at most, and no one dared to start a large-scale war.
Over time, it became a tacit agreement among the kingdoms that no war could be launched no matter how big the incident was.
Until now...
In the Blue Collar Empire Palace, a man in gorgeous clothes sat on the throne. A servant came to him and whispered something, and the man laughed excitedly.
"Hahahaha! Bring that bitch Yamila up here!"
Outside the door, a beautiful dog-woman was escorted up by four guards, and the leader bowed respectfully to the man.
"Report to the king! Yamila is here!"
"Alright! You guys go down!"
The king nodded in satisfaction, the guards retreated, and the king smiled wickedly at Yamila.
"Hey! Don't think you can scold me just because you're an idol. Let's see if you're just as good in bed!"
On the day of the competition, Jamila suddenly went crazy and cursed at the spectators. The king was also present. The king was so furious that he left the scene and ordered people to secretly arrest Jamila.
Just when the king was about to do something, a panicked guard suddenly ran in from outside the door.
"Something bad has happened!"
The king's mood was disrupted! He roared at the guard who rushed in.
"How dare you! Can't you see I have something else to do? Get out!"
The guard knelt on the ground trembling with fear, but still did not retreat.
"Report to the King! Something really bad has happened!"
Seeing his look, the king waved his hand impatiently.
"Bring this bitch to my chambers, you say! If it's not something important, you should know the consequences!"
The king sat back on the throne and looked at the guard kneeling on the ground. The guard immediately handed a letter of information to the king's servant. The king opened it and slammed the table.
"Another guild has been destroyed! This is the second one! Who the hell did this? Bring me the map!"
The servant presented the map in fear. The king opened the map and found that the two destroyed guilds were both close to the Ike Empire that bordered him.
"Great! You, the Ike Empire, actually dared to attack me! Someone pass the order down..."
