Chapter 86: During the sage time, men are willing to think about profound questions, give advice on the world, and write passionate words.
Mo Cheng didn't say why he knew so much about it. Margaret didn't try to find out. She just frowned and said, "Mad King Dom, many records about him were lost with the destruction of the Vahlan Empire. It's really hard to get a clear picture of what happened during that period."
"Priest, do you know anything about the time of Mad King Dom?"
Mo Cheng lowered his head, pondered for a while and said, "I do know a little."
Mad King Dom, the founder and destroyer of the Vahlan Empire, the first and last king.
An empire that once united various countries and used its extremely high personal prestige to force neighboring countries and nations to abandon their borders and form the Vahlan Empire. At that time, the empire was at its peak and its sword once approached the territories of other races.
At that time, everyone thought that the Vahlan Empire would become an empire of eternal heritage, and Dom would become a king that must be mentioned in the history of mankind and even the history of the continent of Korval. However, all the changes came so suddenly and so quickly.
Kings of various countries, nobles within the country, and popes of many churches once joined forces to impeach Dom with the intention of exiling him.
Naturally, Dom was unwilling to be exiled by the traitor, so he gathered his troops in the imperial capital and staged a drama of "Eighteen Princes Fighting against Dong Zhuo" with many nobles.
What Mo Cheng knew was very brief, and there were many missing pieces of information. For example, no one could understand that all the nobles, popes, wizards, and even civilians at that time wanted Dom to step down. As a founding king, this situation was almost impossible.
However, in history, the only trace Dom left was the derogatory titles such as "Mad King", "Crazy King", and "Sleepless King". There is not even a record of his final outcome.
"The history of Mad King Dom has always been a mystery to historians. Let's concentrate on thinking about how to complete the mission. After all, Captain Margaret, you only have one chance."
Realizing that she seemed to have strayed from the topic, Margaret turned her focus back to how to complete the task.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Cheng stood up and said goodbye, and would come back tomorrow. Before Margaret sent Mo Cheng out the door, she stopped him and said, "Reverend Mo Cheng, why do you think Mad King Dom was impeached and betrayed by everyone?"
Margaret couldn't figure out what had to happen to make everyone think that this king was unqualified and to exile Dom, who founded the empire.
Mo Cheng smiled and said, "You'll have to ask Guanghui about this. I don't know either."
After leaving Lauren Frost's house, Mo Cheng lowered his head slightly. He knew a lot about Mad King Dom, but it was inconvenient for him to reveal the source of the information to Margaret. Most importantly, the information might not be accurate.
As to why he didn't tell Margaret...
My knowledge of a certain person's history comes entirely from a long serialized H-story of nearly a million words, but it's a secret that cannot be told until I die!
The posts in the [Foreign Land] forum include normal equipment matching skills, difficulties in clearing dungeons, which forces are having major operations in a certain place, and other information exchange posts for players.
But there are also some Liu Bei posts that write fan fiction about other characters, some even explicit H fan fiction. The fan fiction of Mad King Dom happens to be an evergreen in the forum.
The description is explicit, but the writing is okay, which attracted a lot of LSPs to browse and once became the top post on the [Foreign Land] forum.
It is well known that men enjoy thinking about deep questions while spending their sage time, while also making suggestions and writing passionate articles.
Therefore, in addition to replies such as "The author of the post is a good person, may good people have a peaceful life" under the fan fiction posts of Mad King Dom, the most common ones are crazy comments about the empire's situation, policies, and people's hearts at that time.
Some guys got so excited about the heated discussion that they simply went to the ruins of the former Vahlan Empire in the [Foreign Land]. Some became historians, some became tomb robbers to look up records about the mad king in the materials buried with the nobles, and some simply robbed scholars' materials.
Of course, more often than not, I did it all over again.
Mo Cheng couldn’t remember much of the crazy keyboard politics and quotations from classics by the forum brothers, but he still remembered some of the things that were agreed upon by everyone.
"Mad King Dom can be divided into two periods. One is the period of the wise ruler who established the empire, and the other is the period of the mad king who was rejected by everyone. The wise ruler and the mad king are definitely two fucking different people!"
"What can be done to make an emperor have no followers or supporters? What can be done to make the last army rebel against him? What can be done to make the nobles and popes jointly impeach the emperor of the empire, and all the common people will not say a word?"
"Dom even carried out enlightenment for the whole country, implemented several large-scale policies to benefit the common people, and started to confer titles for military merit, giving the common people a chance to rise up. But not a single common person in the entire empire dared to speak out in support?"
"Shit, I found something new, about Dom's subsequent actions. After Dom's army rebelled, they simply ran to the alien's territory, and then five years later they led the alien army into their former territory."
"What the hell, what kind of emperor is this? The human emperor led an alien army into his own territory . Did the screenwriter of this background take too much Five Stone Powder?"
"Extra, Extra, I have completed a mission from the elves. I learned that when the elves sent troops to Vahlan, the leader was the eldest princess of the elves. I don't know her name because it has been crossed out. Now I am being chased by a group of pointy-eared people. Which brother can come to help me?"
…
"From all the above clues, we have come to two conclusions. Either the wise ruler who founded the empire and the mad king who was driven away are two different people, and the mad king's ability is not enough for him to establish an empire. It is like letting Hu Hai become Qin Shi Huang."
"Another conclusion is that the Vahlan Empire is fucking fake. There is no wise ruler, no mad king, and no Dom. The entire empire, the entire five hundred years of history, is all artificially fabricated! Dom, and the entire Vahlan Empire, is a fantasy created by the kings, nobles, mages, and civilians of several countries. But in the end, the fantasy got out of control, and what emerged was not the [wise ruler Dom], but the [mad king Dom]."
"[Dream King Dom] may not refer to the nonsense Dom said later, but Dom's existence is a king dreamed up by several countries together, a king dreamed up by the people, the Dream King Dom!"
"The following is the information I stole from the mage towers of the royal chief mages of three countries. It overlaps quite a bit with my guess, so I'll upload the information first. I won't talk about the other things for now. The three chief mages are trying to catch me and give me a gift package for human experiments."
After the information was uploaded, it sparked another heated discussion in the forum because more puzzles emerged.
