Episode 8: Alexandria Council and Decree

"So, what do you say? Can you grow it?

"It takes some trial and error, but it's probably possible enough"

Erkühl nodded contentedly at the landlord nobility's inquiry.

It is good to have proclaimed a public meeting, but soon the bishops cannot travel instantly from all over the world, and they will need a variety of lower preparations.

So Erkühl was in the meantime on an inspection of the province of the genus Misr.

Specifically, it is a check as to whether it is possible to grow rice and sugar.

I first looked for a landlord to grow rice for me.

Rice, I couldn't find a weird landlord inside to grow a weird cereal called, but I finally found a human being to grow it because Elquille offered some aid.

I have already given ten landlords seeds and slaves with experience raising rice.

It takes at least three years to hope for a stable harvest…

It would be worth just multiplying by three months.

It should be noted that sugar cultivation has already begun in the direct jurisdiction of the emperor and on the private property of the royal family.

Erkühl inspected this one as well, but it seemed to be going well.

"By the way, have you had any trouble lately?

"Trouble, is it?

"Whatever you want."

Landlord troubles Elkühr by putting his arms together...

"Right...... I haven't been damaged, but I hear some irrigation installations are aging. Because some irrigation facilities in the state of Mistle are centuries-old."

"Guys, don't say the same thing"

Erkühr laughed bitterly.

During the inspection, Erkühl had various people…

I spoke to the landlord nobles, clerics, merchants, peasants, and dwarfs...

The most popular opinion was' cure me of water '.

For a long time the Empire was in financial difficulty, leaving water cures and irrigation alone.

And it came to pass, and it came to pass.

(I think I just wipe the ass of my predecessor...)

Erkür remembers Emperor Hadrianus.

He was never an incompetent person.

The fact is that Emperor Hadrianus' cavalry-focused 'military reform was shooting targets, and ministers, bureaucrats, soldiers such as Galphis, Christos, Lucanos, Todoris, etc. were so good that there was no point in complaining.

If I were to raise the issue, would the stuffing be a bit sweet?

"Well, we get our hands close when it comes to curing water. Don't worry."

"... Yes, I'm afraid for His Majesty the Emperor's wise eye"

The landlord answers with a face he doesn't seem to have much to expect.

I guess you fully understand that the central government has no money.

Well, Elquille knows that, too.

The prospect of securing funds stands.

All we have to do is hold a public meeting.

"Welcome, you're out. Millennia (...) Below"

"Ho ho ho... you've grown a lot, Elkür (...) Your Majesty"

In the port of Alektia, Erkür was welcoming one old woman.

Wrinkles floated on her face, her hips bent, and her hair silver hair lost its luster.

But the voice is ringing and doesn't make you feel old.

In front of the Emperor of the Lemurian Empire, the stately figure reminded him of a time when he was once young and shining.

The name of this old woman is Millenia Peter.

He is the supreme leader of Mesianism, the Princess Witch (Medium). (* Even a woman is a princess)

The first princess witch (Medium) was an orphan girl picked up and raised by the Son of God.

The girl was later revealed to be an 'angel' who obtained the human body, sent to God to serve the 'Son of God'.

Later the Son of God and the Princess Witch (Medium) will be executed...

The "Son of God" left no children, while the Princess Witch (Medium) left no children. (According to one theory, he is a son with the Son of God)

The child inherited the abilities of the first princess witch (Medium).

That is the second generation of princess witches (Medium).

Then over the centuries, the princess witch (Medium) came to teach Mesianism instead of the Son of God.

Ultimately, after Mesianism became the Reichstag of the Lemurian Empire and the Emperor ruled the earth on behalf of God, that is, 'God's proxy on earth', the princess witch (Medium) decided to assist her.

In other words, the relationship between the Son of God and the Princess Witch (Medium) was to be recreated.

Currently, the Princess Witch (Medium) is based in Lemuria, the old capital of the Lemurian Empire.

This is because the first princess witch (Medium) martyred in Lemuria.

Historical princess witches (Medium) have a mission as tomb guards for the first princess witches (Medium).

That's why Archbishop Lemuria, who assists the princess witch (Medium), and Archbishop Nova Lemuria, who assists the emperor (proxy for God), are in a confrontational relationship and contend for the right of first...

I shall not highlight it here.

Note that the Princess Witch (Medium) has a slight mix of Long-Eared (Elf) blood.

This is because Emperor Lemuria, who made Mesianism his national religion, married the princess witch (Medium).

Modern princess witches (Medium) have faded blood and are human beings.

"You were as tall as I was when I put the crown on your head. May I ask your height?

"It's one hundred and seventy-five, millennia. Well, it's growing."

Elquille laughed.

Such two appearances were as if they were grandmothers and grandchildren who had not been reunited in a long time.

By the way, a princess witch (Medium) is usually called a princess witch (Medium) and never gets called by her name, and Emperor Lemuria is also the Emperor. Her Majesty is normal, and never gets called by her name.

Considering that Elquille and the Princess Witch (Medium) are calling each other names...

It is well understood that the relationship is reciprocal.

Meanwhile, a little further away from the two, the other two held hands soothingly.

"This is, Lord Lucanos. Long time no see. Looking good." (Screw you and die soon, you ballless bastard)

"Yeah, thanks to you. You look good, too. Above all. Lord Kronos" (it is in front of you to die, you bald bastard!!!

The person Lucanos is shaking hands with hard is Kronos Krollius.

He is the Archbishop of Lemuria.

In other words, he was the enemy of Lucanos.

Each other's faces are soothing, but each other's hands are gripping each other with all their might.

"... why don't you get your hands off me quickly?

"No, go ahead"

"Oh, no problem."

If you let go of your hand first, you will lose.

A wand is swung down on those two heads.

Gotun!!

The two of them didn't accumulate and held their heads down.

Elquille was the king, and the princess (Medium) beat each other's men in the head with a bishop's staff.

Don't fuck around, let's go.

'Cause you're not a kid either.

The two followed, perhaps, after their Lord.

"Well gathered, gentlemen. We will now hold the First Conference of the Lord of Alexandria."

Elquille today proclaimed looking around at the priests gathered from all over the world at this time.

The priests celebrate the holding with applause.

(After all, do the Alektians refuse to attend? Well, should I not be here?)

Erkühl had once sent a letter asking for the Alexetian clergy to attend as well... but they ignored it and were absent.

I guess I thought you'd get slapped.

In fact, all the priests gathered in this communion were Orthodox.

It's a reasonable decision.

If you are absent, if you decide to exclude "it's unjust!! I can argue."

If you don't fight, you won't lose.

"You all know very well. At present, we Mesianism are in danger. In the east, Holy Fire is expanding its power, and in the west, the Westerners… the heretic Beasts (Warbeasts) are forming a nation and spreading distorted teaching"

In the former western half of the Lemurian Empire, beasts (Warbeasts) who believed in Western teachings had built a nation and shredded its outpouring.

Few Orthodox followers were in the west, and Mesianism was on the brink of a critical situation.

"Also...... there are a large number of Alektians in the territory of our Lemurian Empire. And most importantly......" The Sacred Statue Problem "!! We Mesians must prevent division. That is the reason for this public meeting"

And Elquille spoke.

Next, the princess (Medium) rises.

"We must be united. The unity of doctrine is essential for this purpose. I want you all to help me."

Both Erkühr and the Princess Witch (Medium) are applauded.

Screw you...

The Duke of Alexandria meeting began.

The Duke of Alexeia meeting proceeded to the 'covenant' street, which Elquille and the princess witch (Medium) had tied in advance, and ended without any particular turmoil.

At this time, I will only write about the commonly known as the "Alexandria Creed", which will also have a major impact on the public meeting after it has been finalized.

· Repeal the 'New Orthodox' made by the emperor Hadrianus. Using old-fashioned orthodoxy as orthodoxy, the Alektians are eliminated.

· At last, Emperor Lemuria and the Princess Witch (Medium) are obliged to eliminate the 'neo-Orthodox' priesthood.

· Worship and respect for the Holy Statue are attributed to the image, not to the Holy Statue itself. Worship of God is distinguished from worship of the Holy Statue, and only God is the object of worship. (Translation: Sacred statue is safe)

-The Sacred Statue Destruction Decree issued by the emperor Hadrianus is repealed.

· Honorably, the Archbishop of Lemuria is the head of the Five Archbishops. But its authority is equal to that of the Five Archbishops, and its status is equal.

· Thereafter, the doctrine shall be laid down by three decisions: the princess witch (Medium), the emperor, and the council; any decision without the approval of the three parties shall be null and void, whether before or after this council.

· The Princess Witch (Medium) gives the Emperor a crown and assists the Emperor.

-The emperor protects the princess witch (Medium) and guarantees her status.

Again...

Same day as this public meeting, same time.

Erkühr had sent another, completely different decree into imperial territory.

The decree, commonly referred to as the "Alexandria Decree", contained the following contents.

Preface

The Lemurian Empire must be one.

The imperial religion of the Lemurian Empire is Mesian, and its doctrine is valid only for the things laid down in the Congregation, otherwise heretical, pagan.

But there are many heretics, pagans living in the Lemurian Empire, and they are subjects who rule taxes on the Lemurian Empire and sometimes fight as soldiers.

Their rights must be protected.

Article 1.

To erase and quell the memories of all the events that took place until Yu (Erkür) issued this decree today, on this day, and during the strife that preceded it, both sides, as things that did not happen.

Article 2.

The Alektians are Messians who have different doctrines, believe in the same God, and are the people of the Book. The right shall therefore be retained, exercised and accepted without discrimination, notwithstanding any covenant to the contrary.

Article 3.

Allow the establishment of the Archbishopric by the Alexetians in parallel with the Orthodox on an exceptional basis in the case of Alexetians (Misr) and Orontians (Shria). However, the Emperor has the right to hold office.

Article 4.

Other paganism and heresy must in principle be eliminated. However, those who pay the 'head tax according to the number of possessions' will be treated as subjects of our country, recognising their freedom of belief and religious practice, and recognising their rights on an equal footing with those of Orthodox and Alektian Mesians.

Article 5.

Pagans and heretics who have responded to their conversion to Orthodox or Alektian will be treated in the same way as Orthodox and Alektian from that date on.

Article vi

Religious facilities and associations of heretics report their activities to the Emperor, as well as the names and addresses of their faithful.

Article vii

The personhood taxes imposed on heretics, pagans are as follows…

……

……

……

Pagans who reject the above, heretics take the sword.

I give you guys a 'Bible, a goner or a sword' option.

I mean, at this time today, Elquille...

At the same time as squeezing doctrine into orthodoxy in a public meeting...

It recognized freedom of worship in imperial territory.
