Chapter 34: The Statue of the Gods
Legend has it that 2,000 years ago, Caesar, the founding emperor of the El Empire, single-handedly built a unique gladiatorial arena in one day to shock the Quartet.
On that day, the dust was flying, and Julius Caesar stood here, he swung his sword in his right hand to cut the green mountains, and held the shield in his left hand to level the black lake, with respect for the gods in his eyes, and recited the incantation of the holy order in his mouth.
This covers the sky and the earth, and the power of moving mountains and seas makes many later generations fascinated.
In fact, when Su Ya said that the gladiatorial arena would be demolished, the people did not have no complaints in private, and the symbol of Julius Caesar was demolished for some slaves and death row prisoners who could not be put on the stage, is it worth it?
If Su Ya hadn't broken out about the topic of treasure hunting later and grabbed everyone's attention, I'm afraid her reputation would continue to decline without knowing it, which is why the empress didn't stop her.
However, if today, if someone asks whether the demolition of the gladiatorial arena is worth it, then all those who have witnessed Su Ya's feat at this moment will reply loudly: It is worth it!
It is not necessarily that the gladiatorial arena rebuilt by Su Ya is more spectacular, but that Julius Caesar is an earth magician, no matter how brilliant his construction is, it is also the work of earth and stone, this, everyone's house is also made of earth and stone, which is not unusual, but if it is a building cast by ice and snow, the process is dazzling like a miracle The building rises from the ground, that kind of shock, unless you see it with your own eyes, ordinary people can't imagine it.
She shouted "Snow", and the snow fell all over the sky, covering the desolation, and she drank "Freeze" again, and the crystal-like foundation was frozen. The wind and snow swept the moonlight trees scattered in the crowd and flew into the crystal clear heaven and earth on that side, supporting the entire gladiatorial arena to be built at a crazy and gorgeous speed.
The pattern on the arch coupon is mysterious, the railing is delicate and meandering, and the ice sculpture on the side of the mount is simple and cute, and one qiē is a qiē, all striving to be exquisite and dreamy. But this was not enough, when Su Ya embedded the refined hundred golden gates and two hundred silver partition windows into the walls of the gladiatorial arena, the entire gladiatorial arena seemed to come alive, because everyone felt the flow of magical aura, but it was mixed with an indescribable sense of sacredness. That feeling came from the images on the doors and windows—sitting or standing. Laughing or crying, compassionate and beautiful.
"Who are these portraits, they all look amazing......"
"yes, yes, I feel like my magic matches the breath coming from that portrait!"
There was a lot of discussion. Someone said uncertainly: "Could it be...... I've seen the image of the gods?I've seen it on a worn......out magic fragment."
Since someone can guess it. It's not in vain that she went to such a great length. That's right, these are indeed statues of the gods, and it's been 10,000 years since the gods fell. Those myths and stories have long been lost to history, let alone some portraits?
After the decisive battle in the City of Time, the statues of the ancient battlefield of the gods reminded her one after another that she "can't forget it".
However, she had long forgotten about it.
Su Ya thought about this matter for a long time, but there was no clue, so just now, inspired by the furnace carving her statue on the furnace wall, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and ordered the furnace to carve the statues of the gods and goddesses on the doors and windows of the gladiatorial arena, telling the world, she wanted to know, she can't forget jì, but forgot jì, does anyone remember?
She was standing here, waiting for someone who knew the truth to come to the door, and Su Ya even had a strong premonition that that person was by her side, watching her.
"Suya, Suya?" Tarot's helpless voice sounded in her head, "Come back to your senses, what are you thinking?"
"Ah, no," Su Ya blinked, a little embarrassed, "I'm just very satisfied with the gladiatorial arena I built, and I think too much unconsciously, hehe~"
"Everyone is still looking at you......"
Su Ya subconsciously looked down, and sure enough, the dense crowd of people below were looking up at her, probably thinking that she was thinking about something important, and even the initial discussion was quiet, and the little griffin just flapped its wings quietly and flew in place.
Uh, she has actually finished building it, but she is just a little complacent, admiring her masterpiece, okay, okay, since everyone is still waiting for her ultimate, then she will satisfy everyone, Su Ya silently, looked at the beautiful gladiatorial arena again, and finally realized that there was something else to add.
She took out the scepter of light from the magic bag again, and the people who had experienced the darkness naturally cheered when they saw the light, and they all shouted the slogan that Su Ya had shouted before: "The gods are above, God bless the empire!"
In the midst of the cheers, Suya patted the little griffon's head and signaled it to fly to the highest point of the gladiatorial arena, which was a dome with the banner of the El Empire in the center, and she jumped onto the dome and planted the Scepter of Light next to the flag, and the light illuminated the golden sword and silver shield on the banner exceptionally brightly.
Then, slowly, slowly, she crouched down, muttered in her mouth, held the scepter of light in both hands, lowered her head, and released the magic of light in the most pious posture, the gladiatorial arena cast by ice and snow was like countless mirrors of light, the moonlight tree was also suddenly spiritual, and the statues of the gods were calling in a trance: Come, let's pass the light in all directions!
The whole world is like daylight, and she is the queen of this world!
That night, all of them returned to their hometown, a distant, warm place in their dreams.
Overnight, the fear of the dark elves was gone, and one glance at the scepter of light in the center of the city seemed to be inserted into the clouds, and everyone was thinking: Come on, hell dark elves, we will make you look good!
Her Majesty Cleopatra, as usual, went into the wooden house in the royal garden to visit her twin sister, Princess Susan, before going to the main hall to attend business.
The empress followed her gaze, but the eldest princess Susan quickly turned around and blocked the window, as if this could prevent the empress from knowing a qiē, to which the empress "sneered" and smiled: "My dear sister, you are still so naïve, Su Ya really doesn't look like a child of the two of you." ”
The child was cunning, proud, vigorous, indomitable, dazzling enough to destroy her wings.
But this is a parent, hehe, the dead nest man will not talk about it, her sister, has always been immersed in the past for so many years, and wasted time to achieve nothing, knowing how terrible her sister is, but still pinning hopes on her: "Sister, you promised me," Princess Susan said eagerly, "As long as I cooperate obediently, you will let Su Ya go!"
"Back then, when I brought you back, I said this, but now she is coming to trouble me, what do you want me to do?" the Empress Xià threw the question to her own sister.
"How could it be, how could this be? I didn't leave any clues in the first place, how could she find here," Princess Susan was really flustered, and she didn't stand or sit on the table, "No, no, I'm going to tell her, let her get out of here, sister, I beg you, please let me see her, I will persuade her well, I promise!"
"Well, I actually told the kid yesterday that you would go with me at the birthday feast, and she would be there. ”
"Really, would you really like me to see her? Thank you, dear sister. Princess Susan burst into tears of excitement.
"No need," Her Majesty waved her hand, casually dropping a sentence "It's not early, it's time for me to deal with affairs", and stepped out of the wooden house, obviously the reaction of the people in the house was what she expected, but the empress had an indescribable amazement.
That child, because of you, she made such a big noise, dazzling the crowd, because of you, like a lion cub probing its claws, she wants to fight against me, but you, as your own mother, have to persuade her to escape.
You won't succeed, ignoring the safety of your own mother, just because you are afraid of me, the enemy who killed my father......, how can she agree? Sit up and take notice.
I don't know the children I gave birth to, so don't blame me.
Don't blame me, you're so incompetent.
Step by step up the steps, step onto the unattainable but cold throne, the Cindy lady who followed her walked a few steps quickly, knelt on the steps to set up the table for her, the empress picked up the quill on the side, dipped it in ink, opened the top parchment scroll, saw that Cindy had not retreated, and glanced over: "Anything else?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this morning Su Ya sent me a transmission scroll and asked me to report to you that it will take some time for the slaves and death row prisoners to be captured in the gladiatorial arena, and in order for the gladiatorial competition to be held as scheduled in two days, and your birthday banquet will be more lively, she will invite the students of the Imperial Royal Academy to participate in the competition, in addition to that," Cindy paused, "She also invited some students from the Alice Academy of Magic, saying that it was a grand event. ”
"She's inviting the few people who are left in Time City's 'Ten Years of Covenant', right?"
"Yes," Cindy nodded, "do you need to stop her?"
"No need," unexpectedly, Her Majesty the Empress smiled and shook her head with a smile, "I took back my previous words, this child is really good at demagogy, I underestimated her before." ”
Now that you know it, you can still laugh, and Cindy said she couldn't understand: "Your Majesty, I'm worried that if this continues, we will be very passive about Time City's strategy. She had a hunch that as long as the group of students in the City of Time entered the imperial capital, after Su Ya's operation, they would soon become the entire empire again, Ah No, they would be the stars of the entire continent, look at Lu Fei and Luce, it has only been a few months, and even the Giant Canyon on the other side of the continent knows that the little princes of the El Empire all look the same!
"It doesn't matter, I can't fight anyway. ”
"......" the strict female official Cindy said that for the first time in her life, her great monarch made her want to complain! (To be continued......
