"Who is Merlot?" Everyone was at a loss, "What do the thorns and vines represent?" ”

One of the officers suddenly hissed and frowned, "Merlot...... Merlot ...... How do you feel a little familiar? ”

Regarding the things of the old god era, most people only recognize the "Divine Calendar", and the rest of the bits and pieces of supplements are scattered and recorded elsewhere, one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, and the books are complicated. And the true and the false are confused, and it is difficult to tell whether it is well-founded or pure nonsense.

It's almost the same for ordinary people to read a few books, and it's rare to search around and chew them all over.

But everyone in the Ugin Iron Rider knew that the officer who spoke could be regarded as a collector in this regard, no matter how bits and pieces of things could be turned over by him, probably among all the people here, he knew the most about the rumors of the Old God Era.

So when he muttered like this, it attracted everyone's attention, and even Osvid couldn't help but glance at him.

Seeing that the officer frowned and thought for a long time and didn't come up with anything famous, Osvid reminded: "Is it familiar or familiar?" This makes a big difference. ”

You may have an impression when you see the words again, but you may not be able to react to them just by listening.

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and rewrote the name on the ground in the words of today: "It's this Merlot." ”

Sure enough, I heard the officer cry "ah", and then slapped his thigh and said, "I've really seen it, but I'm not very impressed......

He looked down and thought about it for a moment, and then said, "It seems that his name is mentioned in only one book, and there are only a few words." The book was old and broken, and it was very unreliable to read, so I didn't read it carefully...... It is as if the goddess Theenis created a child, named him Merlot, and gave him the right to live with him in the sacred lake of Ana. ”

"And then?"

"No, there's so little content related to him, and it's obviously not an important person." The officer spread his hands, "When the gods fell, all the gods of the old era, including the gods they kept and those who lived in the palace, died, and this Merlot must be the same." ”

The clue about the name came to an abrupt end, and it was impossible for everyone to spend it in this place all the time, so they had to put the matter on hold for the time being.

Osvid ordered the two stones with their footprints and names on them, and led the team home.

When I entered the tomb from the outside, I only felt that it was thrilling and dangerous, but now I went out of the tomb smoothly and did not encounter a little stumble.

The group followed the familiar path back to the original road, past the Eternal Life Waterfall to the top of the mountain, and then swooped down and fell back to the bottom of the mountain.

Speaking of which, they didn't really spend too long in the underground tombs, but the long darkness that seemed to never see the light always made people feel like years. Seeing the light of day again, even if it was a rainy and gloomy day, made them feel a sense of relief that they had not felt in a long time......

"Tomb of Light......" Osvid looked back at the white-headed hills, and felt that this was a great irony. Fae, who once represented supreme light and hope, wondered how he would feel if he knew that he was trapped in such a place after he died. If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will be tormented by this gap and stagnation......

Such a deity, even if he is unconscious with his eyes closed, should lie in the sun and be with this open and vibrant world.

At the foot of the mountain, the members of the elite team who were in charge of keeping watch were still there, and when they saw Osvid and Kevin descending from the sky, they all looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, Commander Fassbinder, how-"

Osvid looked down at Kevin, who was lying in front of him, and said to everyone: "It's just too tired, the holy water has been obtained, go back to the city!" ”

The giant eagle let out a long sigh and led the long team to break through the clouds......

There is a long river in the country of the Golden Lion, called Sousse, which begins in the Great Rift Valley, the highest point of the city of Sant'Antis, and its tributaries pass through various towns and ends in a shallow anchor in the Crowe Plain outside the country.

At one time, it was rumored that the shallow anchor was the former Anasacred Lake described in the Divine Calendar.

In any case, the River Sousse is a veritable source of life for the Golden Lion, and the altar pool on the altar in the central square of Sant'Antis leads to it.

Osvid: They received a total of three water bladders of holy water. According to the priest, throwing holy water into the altar pool and letting it flow into the Sousse River will save the lives of a nation.

To be on the safe side, Osvid poured holy water into only one of the water bladders and issued a national order.

On weekdays, the people of the Golden Lion Country use the Suser River as their main source of drinking water, and at this time, various towns and cities have lined up along the river, and even the Ugin Hanging Palace and the base camps of the major legions have also distributed drinking water sources mixed with holy water.

After a night, some people with extremely mild symptoms of sandstone had already felt the effects of the holy water slightly, and the stiff parts of the sand were faintly perceptual, and they were not as stiff to the touch as before. However, because the effect is slow and subtle, some even doubt that it is due to psychological factors.

But in the afternoon, when some of the people with petrified fingers could bend their joints slightly, everyone finally decided that the holy water really worked!

On that day, the whole Golden Lion Kingdom seemed to come back to life from its decline, and the villages, towns, streets and bazaars began to speak again, and the mood of those who escaped was always exceptionally happy and bright, as if any movement could amuse them.

The commander of the Imperial City Patrol rushed to the emperor again at noon that day, and the content of the urgent report sent was ridiculous: "Your Majesty! The residents of the two main roads of Changteng Street and Freesia Street have opened their windows! I also heard laughter coming from several houses! Hahahaha! ”

He was beaten out by Osvid with the parchment roll in his hand in a series of "haha" sounds.

"I specially allow you to take a lunch break, go to the Divine Courtyard to take some medicine, and then come to me to sell stupidity." Osvid threw away a sentence angrily.

The garrisons to the west and north also sent back urgent military reports indicating that the soldiers in the garrison camp were also beginning to show signs of recovery, and were in good condition, and would soon return to normal. Mio's letter was as smelly and long as a footwrap, and the second half slapped a whole page of sycophants against Kevin and Osvid, and it was so fancy that Osvid's teeth were sore.

To tell the truth, although His Majesty the young Emperor still looks like he still has a tense face and looks pampered, he is actually in a very good mood.

The insect plague has not been completely solved, but the people of the Golden Lion who have holy water are full of confidence. At nightfall that day, the people of the Imperial City even spontaneously held a prayer meeting in front of the altar in the central square.

Almost all those who could move around came, and they shouted three times in the direction of the Hanging Palace, repeating the etiquette of the new emperor when he ascended the throne, and then they surrounded the statue in the center of the altar.

In the middle of the altar pool stands a huge pillar relief, on which are carved the three main gods of the old period, the queen god, and a mighty lion.

Although Osvid did not mention the digging of graves in the national decree, he did mention the holy water of Fae, the god of light.

The people who had saved their lives prostrated themselves to the ground on the side of the statue of Phae on the giant pillar, thanking the God of Light for his wishes and blessings that spanned thousands of years.

Oswald stood on top of the tower of the Hanging Palace, his hands propped up on the piers, and looked down on the gathered people in the shadows.

When he first sat on the throne, he didn't feel that there was anything to compete for and look forward to in this position.

He likes to do everything himself, hates to pin his hopes on others, and hates to be entrusted to others, and even once felt that the position of the emperor means that he has to take on the safety and future of other unrelated personnel, which is too troublesome and boring.

But at this moment, when he saw that the whole city was cheering, he suddenly felt that the things on his shoulders were a little heavier, and it didn't seem so bad.

While everybody was very happy, there was one person who was very unhappy.

This man is none other than the former god of light, Fae, and now the commander of the Bronze Army, His Excellency Kevin Fassbinder.

I don't know if it was because the emperor was drugged too hard, or if it took too much energy to heal the wounds in the tomb before, Kevin fell asleep for longer than the last time, he slept for a whole week, and his bones were really crisp.

Kevin opened his eyes before he had lost his stamina, and with an empty expression of "who am I, where am I?" stared at the thick dome of the palace for a long time before turning over and sitting up.

As soon as he moved, he heard every joint in his body crunch, like a rusty four-wheeled carriage.

Fortunately, I woke up, and if I slept again, I should be paralyzed directly......

Kevin laughed at himself, squinting sleepy eyes, and raised his hand to rub his sore neck.

As a result, as soon as the hand was raised, there was a crisp sound of "bang", like the sound of metal colliding. And my wrist is probably weak, and I only feel heavy when I move, and it's quite strenuous.

In short, it's weird!

Kevin frowned, lifted his eyelids, glanced at his left hand, and instantly all the sleepiness disappeared, and he woke up completely.

"Which underwhelming little brute gave me handcuffs and leg irons?!" Kevin felt that he must not have woken up, he was still dreaming, maybe he dreamed of the night in the dungeon of the Northern Emerald Kingdom again!

But soon, all the memories of his brain were connected - before he fell asleep, he was still in the main hall of the Tomb of Phaelde, and that bastard of Ausveld dared to plot against him and drugged him.

Kevin: "......" hehe.

Who put on these handcuffs and shackles, do you need to say?

At that moment, he especially wanted to go back in time, back to the shore of the sacred lake of Ana, thousands of years ago, and he must catch Tenes and Phaesar and completely brainwash them: let you be idle and scatter beans to make people, look at your dear brother's current bear appearance, the offspring you have created are simply turning the world upside down, okay......

It's a pity that he has no divine power now, except that he can't die, he is almost no different from ordinary people, he can only stare at the handcuffs and shackles, and silently vomit a mouthful of old blood in his heart.

No, you'll have to find some handy tools.

He muttered this, and then carefully glanced around the room.

This is probably a dormitory somewhere in the palace, and the specifications are not even much worse than Osvid's, but the interior decoration is brighter than there, not as sober as there, and it looks like a place for young people to live.

The handcuffs and shackles that Osvid had made for him were quite humane, not tied to the bed, and the chains were long enough for him to move freely around the room, but he couldn't go out.

Kevin rolled over and got out of bed, didn't bother to look for his shoes, just walked barefoot around the house, unceremoniously rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"What are you looking for? If it's something that can be unlocked, such as a small stick or something, then there's no need to be busy, there is no need to be busy. Osveld's voice suddenly sounded, it sounded lazy, the pace of his speech was slow, and the end of the note dragged out a nonchalant tone, not as cold and hard as before.

It's a pity that in Kevin's ears, it is full of "hey, you can't hit me" provocation.

Of course, this is mainly due to the subjective additions of His Excellency Fassbinder himself.

"I said—" Kevin was rummaging through a half-length cabinet, straightened up when he heard this, simply propped his elbows on the top of the cabinet, and said in a very lazy posture, "Don't think that I really dare not whip you if you become emperor." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was standing in the doorway, personally holding a silver disc containing enticing aromatic food and even a glass of fruit wine. He pointed to the winding chains in the room with his chin and said, "I knew you dare, so I locked it beforehand." ”

Kevin shook the chains on his hands: "What?" How many chains can lock me? ”

Ausvid condescendingly freed his hand, made a respectful "please", and said, "Not necessarily, in case you can break the chain with your bare hands, I am still mentally prepared." ”

Kevin: "......" He really can't tear it down with his bare hands now.

"Okay." Kevin rolled his eyes angrily, lazily dragged the chain back to the bed, pulled a piece of the chain and played with it in his hand, and asked, "Tell me, what happened to me that I was so ingenious to treat me so ingeniously?" I also helped you open the door of the temple and get holy water, dear Your Majesty, are you a fish and forget in a blink of an eye? ”

Osvid stared at him for a moment and said, "Do you know how long you've slept this time?" ”

Kevin glanced out the window, it was still raining heavily, and he couldn't see the day: "How long?" ”

"Seven days." Osvid said, "The dose I gave you is actually very small, I asked the medical officer, and it can make you sleep for one night at most, but you have slept for seven days, why do you need me to tell you?" ”

Kevin pouted.

"If I'm not mistaken, the last time you fell asleep because you woke up from underneath, it was the equivalent of coming back from the dead. Even then you only slept for three days and three nights before recovering, but this time you slept for seven days. Oswald narrowed his eyes and said lukewarmly, "You have walked in the tomb of the gods, and it takes even more energy than you have died, I don't believe you didn't expect it in advance." ”

Kevin lifted his eyelids and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Osvid: "Do you remember what you told me before you left?" When you say you want to go to the tomb alone, the tone is as relaxed as going to a meal, and the result? ”

Kevin shrugged his shoulders, still unconcerned: "As a result, I did get to the holy water without any problems, didn't I?" ”

Osvid didn't bother to argue with him about this, but said categorically: "I bet that if I don't lock you up, you wake up today, and you dare to continue playing around tomorrow." ”

Kevin couldn't help but laugh: "Am I sick or owed?" Nothing to do. ”

Osvid agreed: "It is indeed owed. ”

Kevin: "......"

He almost wanted to smash the Emperor's noble face with something, but unfortunately all the things in the house that could be attacked were confiscated by Osvid.

In the past, he still thought that this kid just had an awkward personality, and at some times he was a little abnormally paranoid and extreme. Now it seems that where is this awkward, this is perverted, okay!

Let the pervert be the emperor will kill people, do you Golden Lion Kingdom have the sea in your head......

"I didn't say you couldn't unlock it." Osveld raised his chin and said, "Accept your fate, you will be relieved when you have rested enough." You're going to have that kind of wound on your body for the next two days. ”

Kevin: "...... I'll take care of you if you get it, the bigger it is, the more lawless it is. ”

"I made them make something, there was baked rabbit meat, roasted orangutan fruit, and I remember you seemed very interested in both of them." Osvid was about to enter the door with a silver platter.

As a result, Kevin leaned on the head of the bed very scoundrelly, patted the wooden cabinet next to him, and said lazily: "I've been rolling in the cemetery for so long, I have to take a bath, I have to soak in the hot spring pool, otherwise I can't eat." ”

Obviously, it was impossible to dig a hot spring pool for him to bathe in the dormitory, and he had to go out to wash it.

Osvid glanced him up and down expressionlessly, and said, "I'm sorry, you just took a shower in the morning." Didn't you even notice that you had all changed your clothes? ”

Kevin: "......"
