The second era, 376, January 1.
Twelve in the morning.
The new year''s ceremony starts at noon, and the whole process will last for one afternoon. The citizens of Athens will hold a large-scale prayer ceremony under the guidance of the priests. The place where the prayer ceremony was held was the central square, where several marble sculptures were made by the priests in a special way. The specific effect of Murphy was not very clear. At the end of the prayer, the citizens will be blessed by the high priest, followed by the miracles and the final ceremony.
In the early days, everything had to be simplified because there were not so many human and material resources.
Murphy''s plan is to wait for others to improve it automatically in the future.
There was little Murphy to do in the whole process of the ceremony, and the religious arrangements were all handled by the high priest. Besides, even if it was arranged by Murphy, he didn''t know what to do. All he had to do was stand on the altar in the central square when the miracle came.
Murphy can bow to the goddess, but religion must bow to him.
This is the minimum he can tolerate.
………………
The reason why there is a dispute between theocracy and kingship on the earth is that the God who claims to be God does not exist at all.
Even if it exists, it cannot affect the reality because of the rules.
According to the Old Testament, God''s most powerful power is just to enter the believers'' dreams.
But in this world, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, does exist.
And came to Murphy in person.
She should understand what it means to take what she needs. She needs faith. Murphy needs power.
The auxiliary system of total war is Murphy''s greatest reliance. As a God, especially a goddess of wisdom, she should not be stupid enough to fight for secular power with herself now. An ignorant and cowardly person will only fear those tiny possibilities, and wish to hold everything firmly in his own hands all the time. It''s a sign of incompetence and the worst solution.
Because it''s impossible.
The real power holder should prepare enough chips for himself before considering turning over.
Don''t you use a person because he is better than yourself? Do you not cooperate with a person because he may be your opponent in the future?
If so.
Then you will never be in power, you can only hide in a corner.
It''s hard to have absolute control of the world.
The real rule is balance and restraint, and interests and chips are the best way to control. Han Xin''s ability to be an emperor is more than enough, but what is his final outcome?
If you can understand.
Then the path of those in power is in your heart.

------------------------------------
Inexplicable fear is the best embodiment of incompetence and cowardice.
At one o''clock in the afternoon.
The heavy snow in winter has almost melted.
Warm sunshine fell on everyone, and the whole inner city of Athens maintained a solemn atmosphere.
Citizens gather quietly in the central square, where they will be guided by the priests for the final prayer service. This is a request for the gift of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the blessing of Olympus, which also marks the true formation of Athenian theocracy!
It was the only ceremony Murphy was present.
When praying, Murphy must preside with the high priest, which represents the harmony between theocracy and kingship, and the cohesion of power.
It means that all people in Athens will work together to make everything better!
Even an idiot knows the terrible consequences of fraternity. In such an era when everything has just begun and the foundation has just been established, if there is a contradiction between the governor and the high priest, I''m afraid Athens has no future! The centripetal force gathered by Murphy''s exhausting efforts may be destroyed in a moment!
In this unknown world, citizens need the protection of Olympus Gods and a spiritual sustenance.
But it needs the leadership of the governor and a leader who is brave and powerful!
Now it''s only by clenching your fists that you can be strong.
This is a very simple truth.
As for who will be the final winner in the future, leave this question to the future.
If you don''t even have this confidence, you don''t have to talk about the future.
How can we bear the responsibility if we are timid!?
What''s more, with the help of the auxiliary system of total war, who will be the last to laugh in the future.
It''s hard to say.
………………
Above the central square.
The priests chanted the ancient sacrificial rites, which seemed to have magical power in their voices, soothing the minds of all people.
Murphy stood at the front of the altar, surrounded by the high priest with a solemn face, followed by Helen, the chief priest of war and the priest of love. In the last place are the generals promoted by Murphy.
This represents the current distribution of power throughout Athens.
With the chanting of the sacrifice, a trace of golden light from the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
All bathed in the light.
Murphy looked around, then knelt down on one knee toward the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Under his leadership, everyone knelt down slowly toward the statue of Athena. Then, under the guidance of the high priest, the citizens of Athens began to pray and chant in a low voice the ancient sacrifices inherited from the era of the gods. In the solemn and solemn religious atmosphere, the spirit of all people began to condense, and a trace of invisible white light also floated from the people.
These white dots condense into silk threads, which are then connected to the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, through the high priest.
The golden glory is more prosperous!
All people feel a warm breath in peace and tranquility, and some diseases hidden in their bodies disappear.
The prayer is over.
Murphy got up slowly. In front of everyone, the high priest leaned slightly toward him, and then stood silently beside him.
This is another expression to all people, the citizens of Athens, the cornerstone and pillar of the territory.
Tell them.
Murphy, who represents the royal power, bows to the Olympian gods, but the high priest who represents the religion must bow to him!
If according to the Chinese saying.
This is the order of superiority and inferiority.
It also means that rules and systems have been formed.
The citizens cheered and praised Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and their wise and powerful Lord.
The golden light faded away.
The high priest''s bright eyes fell on Murphy''s body like stars, and her mouth drew a light smile. Looking at Murphy standing on the altar receiving the citizens'' cheers and respect, the high priest showed a little hesitation. Then, as if she had made some kind of difficult decision, she folded her fingers and began to sing a deep and obscure mantra.
Gradually dissipated golden light suddenly condensed, as if by some force.
These golden radiance converged to Murphy''s sky, and finally turned into a golden crown suspended on his head!
Wang!
Wang!!
Wang!!!
The citizens under the altar let out bursts of exclamations!
I don''t know who was the first to kneel down. It was like a wave. The citizens of Athens knelt down to Murphy one after another.
This is the will of the goddess!
They told themselves that the goddess was telling them that Athens would have a king!
………………
The golden crown lasted less than a few seconds.
On the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the invisible white light flashes, and the crown formed by the golden light disappears.
And the high priest''s soft face suddenly turned pale!
Her chest seemed to be pounded violently, and a trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
Raise your hand to wipe the blood from the corners of your mouth without leaving any trace.
The high priest looked at Murphy with a very nostalgic look. She was just as gentle as before.
At this moment, the gentle woman was a little breathtaking!
She turned slowly.
With a trace of loneliness, loneliness and relief, he walked towards the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
She walked very slowly.
It seems that I don''t want to finish this section of road so soon.

**********************************************************************************************
Outside the central square.
Altoria stood on the roof and looked at what was going on in the square.
Nearly 8000 citizens piled up the central square, but she found Murphy''s location at a glance.
"They really have their own gods!" The girl looked at the golden light on the statue and murmured.
A trace of blood from the ancient elves told her that it was really the power of the gods!
It is not the belief condensed by ancestor worship in human city-state, which can only be turned into light but has no effect. Faith is energy, but only the gods can turn them into real power!
All along, she was suspicious that Athenians had their own gods.
But now it seems.
Everything is true, they really have their own gods!
When the golden light turned into a crown suspended on Murphy''s head, the girl''s face suddenly burst out a ray of brilliance!
She pressed her long white fingers on the hilt of the "oath of victory sword" on her waist and whispered, "now, maybe it''s ok?"
Can you finally get rid of it?
Don''t you have to bear such a heavy mission any more?
When you give him the sword, it should be over, right? He is so excellent, as if he was born to be a leader! Should he do better than himself?
Maybe, when we get this done.
You can go to see your mother, right? Well, maybe we should go to forest forest. I heard that there are halflings there?
There should be a lot of delicious food, right?
Mother is a traveler under the moon, this time should not be in Emerald Forest, right?
Where to look for her?
The girl thought so, some distress in her heart, but the corner of her mouth could not help but outline a smile.

(this is the first watch. There''s another one in the evening.
It is gradually recovering. Please ask for the recommended ticket!)
