I am God Chapter 49: : I am the messenger of God
The newly crowned star is ready to abolish slavery and undo the fate that King Jesser imposed on the wretched in the name and power of God.
Or rather.
A curse for generations.
She had witnessed the horrors of the slaves firsthand, and was horrified by the horrors that have not changed from generation to generation.
She is going to amend the code, as long as the code stipulates that even if these slaves will always bear the imprint of the punishment of the wise king, nobles and merchants are prohibited from buying and selling them as goods and slaughtering them like fish.
In the palace, several ministers and a group of nobles were furious.
"This is tradition, this is the law."
"It is recorded in the code written by the wise king that slaves are guilty people and they should be punished."
Xing was not frightened by the actions of the ministers and nobles. She is not a tough person, but she has an indescribable stubbornness when facing the right thing.
"Then change the code."
The minister strongly disagreed: "That is the code set by the wise king, the law set by King Jesser."
"Even if you are the current king, you should maintain the will of the former king."
Xing sat on the throne, his body motionless but his eyes did not show weakness: "What if King Jesser is wrong?"
Minister: "How could King Jesser be wrong."
The difficulty far exceeded Xing's expectations.
Obviously, almost all powerful figures and nobles are strongly opposed to Xing's approach.
Without slaves, who would take care of their fishing grounds, and how would their bone workshops work?
Who should do their caravan coolies? Who should protect and serve their extravagant life?
The scene froze.
However, even if the royal power declines, it is not something ordinary nobles can resist. Compared with the ministers and powerful figures below the stars, they are more guilty and afraid.
Someone came out from the crowd and knelt under the steps in front of the throne.
"Queen!"
"I have obeyed your will, but amending the code is not a simple matter. It is necessary to summon the scholars who compiled the code to study it. It will take time."
Xing was born in a family of blood descendants of the royal power, high above the sky temple.
She knew that issuing a decree and carrying it out were two different things, and the nobles of the Sinnsay Kingdom had long learned to obey others and contradict others.
But as long as the ministers give in, she will take the first step.
At this moment, Xing is very happy, thinking that she has accomplished a great event, she goes to Polo happily, and wants to share her sense of accomplishment with him.
The sun shines on Polo through the window, making his whole body seem to be shining.
Polo was laying out stone chess pieces on the table, when he saw the stars coming, he immediately turned around, showing a smile like the summer sun.
"Star!"
"Come on, this is a game passed down from Samo city-state, it's fun."
The Queen took off her crown and sat beside Polo.
Polo chattered with Xing about the rules of stone chess, and even fiddled with the chess pieces, explaining how he got them from a treacherous businessman. Trying to deceive him with rhetoric.
Xing also listened carefully. She was anxious to express her inner excitement, but she was not so anxious when she heard Polo's voice.
It seems that as long as he is by his side, there is a sense of peace of mind.
When Polo finished speaking, Xingcai looked at Polo with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
"I spoke to them today."
"I will abolish King Jesser's slave clockwork and delete it from the law code."
Looking at Xing, Polo stood up exaggeratedly, and praised Xing with an exaggerated expression.
"Star!"
"I admire you so much, you are doing the right thing."
But he frowned again, raised his finger and shook it.
"But those people will definitely not give up so easily, Xing, you must be careful of them!"
After traveling for so long in the Kingdom of Xiyin Sai, he no longer understands anything like before.
Xing was not afraid, she said in a serious tone.
"King Jesser is wrong, as a priest of God, I should reverse his mistakes."
"Turning the craftsmen who built the Sky Temple into slaves is only his idea, not God's will."
Then she looked at Polo: "And I'm not afraid of them, because"
"I have you."
Having reached this point, Xing felt that something was about to come out of his chest.
She is shy and excited, but she knows her choice.
I also understand my own heart.
She stood up excitedly, looking at Polo's face.
"Polo!"
"Come on! Stay with me!"
"I can share the royal power with you, everything about me is yours."
The naive and romantic Polo stares blankly at Xing, not understanding what Xing is talking about.
Knowing that the star called out to him: "Polo!"
"I like you."
Polo's face flushed instantly, and he felt at a loss.
"Ah!"
"But I'm not going to stay here!"
"Polo still wants to travel, to witness the miracles in this world and more"
Polo stumbled while speaking, his mind went blank.
He suddenly thought of an excellent reason, a reason that could not be explained at all.
"I am the messenger of God, I must return to God."
"I'm here to find the God's Descent, and I must complete the mission of God."
Looking at Polo with star eyes: "Then what?"
"Will you come back?"
Polo was afraid of promises, he avoided Xing's eyes.
"I don't know either."
"There are many things in the temple, and God has many wills that need me"
"And there"
Xing saw Polo's hesitation, he didn't want to stay by his side.
He is a free and unrestrained person, not subject to any constraints, even if that person is himself.
But she plucked up the courage to say what she wanted, but she didn't expect the expected response. Xing felt extremely ashamed and extremely angry.
Xing didn't want to hear Polo's lame rejection anymore, she took out a slate and put it on the table, then turned and left angrily.
"Your magic!"
"You only care about this, you know this."
"It's yours now."
"Let's go!"
"Never come back again."
She had already finished it a long time ago, but she didn't take it out because she was afraid that Polo would leave.
Polo opened his mouth, but in the end he could only keep silent.
Xing walked outside angrily, she was waiting for Polo to call her back, or to come forward to comfort her, but there was no movement behind her.
She turned her head, wanting to see Polo's movements.
But I found that there was only a piece of starlight left in the air.
And there was no shadow in front of the table.
Xing immediately ran back and stopped in front of the table, the dreamy starlight continued to overflow and disappear,
"Polo!"
Xing called Polo's name, but the other party was already gone.
Polo really left, and fled without a word.
She somewhat regretted the impulsive move just now, and she felt that she had lost the most important thing.
But she did not express her regret, but shouted towards the surroundings of the palace.
"Let's go."
"I have the Ruhe troll, I am the queen of Shiinsay, and I am not as weak as before."
"I'm strong now."
"I"
"I don't need you."
