Volume 8: The Clever Girl and the Imperial Tool Chapter 018 The Goddess Descends
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
A group of people rushed into the palace where Emiya was, shouting "Your Majesty" loudly. The leader was none other than General Bud, who had just been knocked unconscious by Emiya's domineering aura.
He was the last person to faint in the entire palace, but the first to wake up.
Then he hurried over with a group of guards and broke into the palace where the emperor was.
When General Bud rushed in, the first thing he saw was Emiya sitting on a chair, but at this time Emiya had used transformation magic to turn into a little emperor.
Seeing that the little emperor was fine, General Bud immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he saw Hephaestus standing next to Emiya, and the maid who was lying on the ground and had not woken up yet.
General Bud's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee on the ground, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Emiya said calmly, "I'm fine."
General Budd was half-believing and half-doubting, and glanced at Hephaestus sharply, "May I ask, Your Majesty, who is this woman?"
Emiya said, "You've come just in time, Lord Budd. Let me introduce you to this person, the one who caused everyone in the palace to faint. She is the deity from heaven, Her Highness the Goddess Hephaestus."
From the beginning, Emiya had no intention of hiding Hephaestus's identity. The identity of a goddess was enough to bring great convenience to Emiya in controlling the country.
When General Bud first heard that Hephaestus was the culprit who caused them to fall into a coma, he was a little alert, but when he heard the end, he couldn't help but look stunned.
"Your Highness the Goddess?" General Budd's first reaction was suspicion.
A thousand years have passed since the establishment of the empire, but no one has ever heard of the existence of gods. Instead, there is a group of people who are deceiving people under the guise of gods.
Therefore, even if Emiya, pretending to be the little emperor, said that Hephaestus was a god, General Bud still didn't dare to believe it. Instead, he suspected that Hephaestus was deceiving Emiya.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, Your Majesty, is this woman really the Goddess?"
Emiya turned his head and looked at Hephaestus, "That's what the general said, Your Highness the Goddess."
Hephaestus clicked her tongue. Even though she had no interest in acting, she was willing to cooperate with Emiya and released a trace of divine power.
In an instant, everyone in the palace, except Emiya, was crushed by this trace of divine power and fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move even a finger.
God’s grace is like the sea, and God’s power is like a prison!
Even General Bud, who was holding an imperial weapon, had to admit at this moment that even if the woman in front of him was not a god, she was an extremely powerful monster.
The other party just released his aura, and he was unable to move. He even felt that his internal organs and even his hard bones were wailing.
At this moment, Emiya slowly said: "Please take back your divine power, His Highness Hephaestus."
Hephaestus then withdrew her divine power, and General Bud and the guards immediately got a chance to catch their breath. After just a few dozen seconds, they suddenly realized that their clothes were soaked.
The whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.
General Bud lowered his head and clenched his fists. "Bud, thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you for the mercy of the goddess. I wonder what the goddess has come to ?"
Hephaestus looked at Emiya, asking with her eyes how she should answer this question. She couldn't just say that she came here for the imperial weapon, that would be too unworthy of a god.
Emiya smiled calmly. He had already made up an excuse, "Sir Bud, the goddess came down to earth this time because of my ancestor, the first emperor who founded the Millennium Empire."
General Budd was shocked.
Emiya continued, "Lord Bud, I just learned that the first emperor who founded this great empire a thousand years ago was actually a god from heaven. He made a mistake and was banished from heaven. He came to the human world and founded this great empire."
General Bud suddenly realized, "It turns out that the First Emperor is actually a god from heaven. This is incredible."
The empire was established thousands of years ago and has gone through countless storms. Anyone who mentioned the wise and capable First Emperor would express great admiration. Even if Emiya was just making up stories, General Budd did not dare to doubt it.
If he dared to doubt, Wei Gong could throw him into the bottomless abyss with just a casual remark about disrespect to the First Emperor.
"It is indeed incredible. I only learned from Her Highness Hephaestus that the First Emperor was actually a god from heaven. The empire encountered great difficulties this time, so Her Highness Hephaestus was asked by the First Emperor to come and help my empire overcome this crisis."
Hephaestus finally realized how unreliable a man's words were.
God damn, this is a complete rumor.
But General Budd dared not disbelieve it, and he immediately apologized to Hephaestus, "Please forgive my disrespect just now, Your Highness, it was my stupidity that I dared to doubt Your Highness's identity."
Hephaestus rolled her eyes and said, "Ignorance is not a crime."
General Bud was immediately moved, "You are so kind, Your Highness the Goddess."
Emiya continued, "Lord Bud."
"I am here."
"Her Highness Hephaestus has just talked to me. If we want to rebuild the Flag Empire, we need the help of the Imperial Equipment. But unfortunately, in the past thousand years, we have lost too many of our Imperial Equipment."
Upon hearing this, General Bud immediately said, "I will gather people and search for the lost imperial weapon."
Emiya shook his head and said, "I am glad that you have such an idea, Lord Budd, but there is no need to go to such trouble. Her Highness Hephaestus is the forging god of heaven. You will collect the information on making imperial tools and give the imperial tools you have to Her Highness Hephaestus first. Her Highness Hephaestus will definitely make a brand new imperial tool."
General Bud was an old stubborn man who was loyal to the emperor and trusted him to the extreme, so after hearing these words, he took off his imperial armor without hesitation.
Adramelech!
This is an armor-type imperial weapon. There are iron stakes on the arms that can enhance the striking power. It can also perform long-range attacks and even manipulate lightning to carry out heavy pressure attacks, collisions through the air, and transform lightning into energy balls for long-range attacks. It can also form lightning armor around the body, paralyzing anyone it touches.
This is a very good imperial weapon that combines long-range attack, offense, and defense.
Even among the forty-eight imperial tools, it can be said to be a very outstanding one.
After Hephaestus got the imperial weapon, she immediately began to examine it.
Emiya said calmly, "Lord Bud, take your men and go restore order in the palace first. Don't give the villains an opportunity to take advantage of you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
General Bud immediately responded loudly, and hurried away with his men to restore order in the palace.
As for the unconscious maids lying on the ground, they couldn't wake up for a while. After more than an hour, these unconscious maids finally woke up, and after getting up from the ground, they immediately apologized to Emiya.
Emiya waved his hand and did not pursue the matter against these maids. After all, it was not these maids who were wrong from the beginning.
On the other hand, with the help of General Bud, other people in the palace quickly woke up. By noon, order in the entire palace was restored, and there was no difference from the past.
And just at this moment, Minister Ernest arrived.
Without any notification, the fat man swaggered into the palace and came in front of Emiya who was eating.
"Your Majesty, I heard that a goddess has come to the palace?"
Emiya looked up and saw that the minister looked not much different from the one in the comics, a tall fat man. When he walked into the palace, he was holding a piece of meat in his hand and looking around with his eyes. He didn't pay any attention to Emiya at all and seemed to be looking for something.
Emiya knew that he was looking for Hephaestus. After all, the minister's mind was completely different from that fat body and he was a very capable person.
This guy killed the previous emperor and empress, then chose a little emperor who could be used as a puppet to ascend the throne from among the many heirs, and killed all the other heirs.
If you don't have the ability, you can't do this.
Moreover, Emiya remembered that in the minister's hands was the supreme imperial weapon passed down by the emperor's family.
This thing is the first and strongest imperial tool. It is the origin of imperial tools and the pinnacle of all imperial tools, so it is called the Supreme Imperial Tool. Legend has it that it has power comparable to that of gods, and only people with the blood of the emperor can use it.
The reason why the ministers kept committing suicide, controlling the puppet emperor, practicing tyranny, and oppressing the people was entirely because they were very confident in this imperial weapon, and believed that even if the revolutionary army attacked, they could turn the tables with the help of this imperial weapon.
But it turned out that he had gone too far.
So the final result was that he was tortured to death by the revolutionary army, a way of death that was quite consistent with what he had done.
Now, the reason why the ministers rushed here in a hurry was simply because they heard that the goddess had arrived and were afraid that the goddess would influence their control over the little emperor, so they wanted to test the goddess' attitude, or in other words, confirm the goddess' identity.
Emiya did not expose the minister's thoughts. He nodded and put a piece of meat into his mouth. It was the meat of some dangerous species, and the meat was quite delicious.
"Yes, Minister, Her Highness Hephaestus is my ancestor and a good friend of the First Emperor. She helped me to eliminate the enemies who betrayed the empire."
The minister's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he was indeed a minister of the empire, the problem was that nothing he did was good for the empire.
