Chapter 115: Theocratic Bloodline

Looking at the nearly completed battleship "Mystery of Mystery" in the dockyard, Friedlier first raised his head, and then shook his head helplessly.

"Are you not satisfied with this newly built warship?" Oeve asked Friedreel.

"No, I'm okay with the boat... It's just.."

"Just what?"

"It's just Miss, I really don't understand why you put seven glowstone lamps in the bow of the ship?" Friedlier said helplessly, "Are you showing off your wealth to others?" ”

"I have no intention of showing off anything." "I just thought that since I was looking for a place where the seven stars swirled, placing seven sparkling glowstones would bring me good luck. ”

"Well, but why did you have the craftsman carve the bow of the ship into an ugly horse with wings?" "You know, it's very reminiscent of the horse named Swadir Farley in the myth of Fetton. ”

"Swadir Fali, the name doesn't sound too bad." Oeve asked, "If it's a mythical horse, it must have divine powers, right?" ”

"Divine power is there." "But it's synonymous with the hapless traveler." ”

"Uh.." Oiff said with a little embarrassment, "It seems that the cultural generation gap between Randy and Feiton is not small. But why is that horse called the unlucky traveler? ”

"It's a long story, but I'll tell you a story about the myth of Featon." Friedlier said.

"Then please speak, Mr. Taru, I want to hear it." O'Eve said.

"Okay." "At the beginning of the world, there was a group of gods known as the Aesirs who planned to build a huge wall in their homeland, the Aesir Domain, to defend against enemies from other realms, but they couldn't do it themselves. So they wanted to ask someone else to help, and then a frost giant from the Land of Mist came to the Aesir Realm as a craftsman and took the job. Of course, the Frost Giant also demanded a reward for the job, and that was to ask the Aesirs to give him the sun, the moon, and Freya, the goddess of love and beauty. ”

"That reward sounds excessive, and the Protoss promised him?" Oeve asked.

"Of course, the Protoss promised him." Friedreel continued, "But the Protoss also made a demanding request to him, and the Protoss demanded that he have six months to build the wall, and that he should not have any other giants or animals to help him except the horses. Although the Protoss' request was very harsh, the Frost Giant still agreed to the Protoss' request. Indeed, he only found one horse to help, and that horse was the god horse Svadir Farli just mentioned. ”

"Oh."

"Masvadir Farli worked around the clock to bring in a large number of stones to help the Frost Giants build the Great Wall, which greatly accelerated the work of the Frost Giants. Seeing that the Frost Giant was about to complete the construction of the wall in six months with the help of this horse, the gods who were worried about sending the sun, moon, and Freya began to panic, and at the same time, they began to regret their original decision. The repentant gods finally decided to send Loki, the god of stratagem, to thwart the Frost Giant's work so that he would not be able to complete his mission within six months. ”

"It seems that your God there is not very much of faith." "How did the god of stratagem stop the work of the craftsmen?" said Oive. ”

"Loki took the form of a beautiful mare who seduced Swadir Farli away so that the Frost Giant deprived of his right-hand man. And the frost giant, who has lost his horse, will naturally find it difficult to complete the task on time. Friedlier said with a smile.

"Oh, okay." "And then? ”

"Then the Frost Giant discovered the tricks of the Protoss, and he quarreled with the Protoss, but he eventually fell short of the power of the gods, and in the end, he was killed on the spot by Thor with his hammer during the quarrel." "Madvadilfari lost his master and his job, and he became a lonely and unlucky traveler with nothing," Friedlier said. ”

"Is the story over?" Oeve asked.

Friedlier thought for a moment and said, "On one more note, the mare that Loki incarnated into gave birth to a horse for Swadilfari shortly afterward, an eight-legged horse capable of galloping the sky and the sea, and traveling to and from the realm of the dead, which later became the mount of Odin, the leader of the Protoss. ”

"Phew," said Oive, "well, interesting story. But I will say that the horse which I have carved by the craftsmen has nothing to do with the horse in your Pheton mythology, nor does it have anything to do with the Pegasus named Pegasus in the ancient myth of Garland, of which Bulis speaks. ”

"Oh?" "And what inspired your order, Miss O'Eve, to sculpt this horse?" ”

"It comes from its own meaning." "The image of a winged pegasus itself represents dreams and pursuits, freedom and freedom. It fits my ideas and I like the way it looks. ”

Friedlier stroked his forehead and said, "With the strange name you gave to the ship, the seven glowstone lamps and this pegasus, I think the ship will be the focus of discussion among all the warriors when it arrives in Phyton." Perhaps, it will become a joke. ”

"Yes, but I don't care about that, all I care about is whether I can find the Philosopher's Stone and the rest of the keys in the future." O'Eve said.

"Okay, if you're happy." After looking at the Garland workers near the dockyard, Friedlier turned to Oeve and whispered, "But Miss Oive, I have one more thing I would like your consent to before I return to Featon. ”

"What's the matter?" Oeve asked.

"I want to. . . Load all the fake gold from the grotto onto the ship. Friedlier said.

"No, I don't allow it." Oeve said, "As I said, trading refined products is against the rules of our secret council. You've just gotten the president's approval to join our secret council, are you going to break our secret council rules during this new member observation period? ”

"Don't get excited, Miss O'Eve, I'm not going to trade them." Friedlier said with a smile.

"If you don't trade them, then what are you going to do with them on board?" Oeve asked curiously.

"I'm just going to throw them into the ocean."

"Thrown into the sea?" Oeve asked, confused, "You said you were going to throw all those gold coins into the sea?" ”

"Yes, I don't know if throwing those gold coins into the sea violates the rules of our secret meeting?" Friedlier asked.

"Throw it into the sea," Oiff thought about, "and... Of course it's not against the rules, but why would you do it? ”

"I told you before that I intend to take the throne of King Pheton from Rickliel." Friedlier said.

"Yes, so what?" Oeve asked with an indifferent expression.

"Don't act like you're not in business, okay?" Friedlier looked at Oiff and said, "I'm going to do something important, shouldn't you support me?" After all, when I become the king of Featon, it will be easier for you to find the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"You're right." Oeve pondered for a moment and said, "But how can I support you?" Allowing you to throw gold coins into the sea is even holding you? ”

"Of course." Friedlier smiled and asked, "Would you like to give me the fake money?" ”

"If you don't do anything that violates the rules of the secret council with the fake money, I am willing to give them to you to help you." Oeve said with some confusion, "It's just... I still don't understand why you want to throw fake gold into the sea. ”

"You'll find out when I throw the fake money into the ocean." Friedlier laughed and asked, "Speaking of which, Oive, why did you give this poor ship such a strange name?" Mystery of the mystery number, this is really a mystery. ”

"The name Enigma comes from the Book of Enigma, which is inscribed on the emerald slate." O'Eve said.

"Emerald Slate?" Friedlier asked.

"It is the enigmatic text left by Hermes, the ancient god of Garland with the double snake staff, and Thoth, the god of knowledge and magic of the Anka people, who has disappeared, and it is inscribed on the emerald stone tablet, which is the source of all alchemy." O'Eve said.

"The god of Garland you just mentioned, he is holding a double snake staff? Is it a double snake staff with two snakes standing together and a winged one at the top? Friedreer asked.

"Yes." Oeve asked curiously, "Do you know this?" ”

"I've seen that snake staff in some places." "Do you know what that means?" I've always been puzzled. ”

"That's about injuries and treatment." "One of the Serpents of the Staff of Hermes is a fiery serpent, and the other is a bronze serpent, the saliva of the fiery serpent has venom, which represents the inevitable suffering of mortals from injury and disease, and the saliva of the brass serpent, which contains a medicinal solution, which represents that people will eventually be healed. As for the wings above the serpent, they represent the will of the gods. The implication is that whether a mortal is injured or sick, or is healed and recovered, all of this is providential. ”

"Sounds interesting, but since one of them is a poisonous snake and the other is a medicine snake, why are they still entangled?" Friedlier asked.

"This," said Oeve after a moment's thought, "I don't know why, but in the legend of the Hurons, their prophet healed his people with a scepter that contained only one serpent, and according to legend, the sick man was instantly healed when they saw the bronze serpent on his scepter." ”

"A snake staff that heals when you see it..., do you think that kind of scepter really exists?" Friedlier asked.

"It's hard for me to say, maybe the scepter actually existed." Oeve then asked rhetorically, "You had a hard time believing that Nightfall had that power before you used it, did you?" ”

"I still think it just happened to be a change." "It's really magical, but I don't think it has a lot of energy," said Friedlier, holding the "Nightfall" around his waist. ”

"Can you feel it?" Oeve asked.

"No, I don't feel it." "I'm just worried. ”

Oeve smiled and said, "It's normal for everyone who owns an artifact to worry that its abilities will be depleted. ”

"Is your thorn poison also an artifact?" Friedlier asked, pointing to the spanning sword at Oive's waist.

"No, it's just a weapon made of special materials and impregnated with poison." Oiv looked at his saber and said, "There aren't many artifacts in existence, and not everyone is lucky enough to get them. Moreover, there have been few original artifacts that have been crafted in the past few hundred years, because both those scarce raw materials and the Philosopher's Stone are becoming more and more difficult to find. Many of the artifacts that exist are also mostly reforged from the remains or fragments of older artifacts from a long time ago. ”

Friedlier nodded, and then asked, "Miss O'Eve, I wonder if you've ever heard of an object that can see in the distance?" And the scene is still upside down. ”

"An object that can see in the distance," said Oiff after a moment's thought, "I don't understand what you mean, I don't think I've heard of anything like that." ”

"Okay." Friedlier looked at Garland Craftsman, who was repeatedly painting the hull, and said, "Maybe when you see that item, you'll understand what I mean." ”

"The object, it's the one you said you were talking about..... Is there the woman who is important to you? Oeve asked after a moment's hesitation.

Friedlier said, "Well, yes, at her's. ”

"What kind of woman is she?" Oeve looked at Friedreel and asked, "I suppose she must be a very noble and elegant woman, right?" ”

"Let's not talk about that now, and when you get to Fayton, you'll understand when you see her." Friedlier said with a smile.

"What's her name?" Oeve asked.

"You can always tell me this, right?" Oeve continued.

"Oh, of course, her name is Sibelis." Friedlier said.

"Sibelis... It doesn't sound like a Phetton name, it sounds more like a Garland or Randy. O'Eve.

"Yes, she's a Garlander." Friedlier said.

"She's a Garlander?" Oiff asked, a little surprised.

"Yes."

"Is that her last name or her first name? Or is she a commoner without a surname? Oeve asked.

"Siberis is her name. She has a surname, and her surname is Roland. Friedlier said.

"Roland?!" O'Eve's mouth opened wide in surprise, and she then asked, "Are you sure her surname is Roland?" Does she have long blonde hair and turquoise eyes? ”

"yes, how do you know?" Friedlier looked at Oiff curiously and asked, "Blonde and blue-eyed Garlandians aren't common, are they?" ”

"Oh my God, it's incredible." Oeve was shocked and said, "There must be something wrong, I'm going to ask Brulis." ”

"What do you want him to ask?" Friedlier asked, puzzled.

Looking at Oive, who had turned and walked briskly out of the dock, Friedlier walked over curiously. Not far from the dock, Oeve found Bruulis, who was preparing the sails. She hurriedly opened her mouth to him and asked, "Brulis, you told me before, which family of your Jialan people have a divine bloodline?" ”

"The Roland family." After putting down the canvas in his hand, Brullis looked at the stunned Oeve and asked, "Miss, why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"Theocratic bloodline, what's that?" Friedlier walked up to Brullis at this point and asked, "The Roland family?" ”

Bruulis looked at Oive's surprised expression, then at Friedrear's bewildered expression, and then he asked Friedrear, "Why did Friedreel suddenly ask about this?" ”

"I'm just curious, let's talk about it, Brullis." Friedlier said, "I want to know about the Roland family you just talked about, and the theocratic bloodline. ”

"Miss?" Bruulis asked, looking at Oive.

"Tell him." Oeve hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "Tell Friedlier about it too." ”

"Okay, then I'll talk about the Roland family first." Bloris looked at Friedlier and said, "The birth of the Roland family dates back to the ancient Garland period a long, long time ago. At that time, in the northern part of our Garan, there was a great king called the "Guardian of Mankind", who led his army to destroy the ancient Garan, Randi, Asol, Anka, Dimi, and once defeated Chanla in the east. He was invincible, never defeated in his life, and he used his invincible military exploits to build the largest empire in history, and that empire was named after him, the Empire of Alex Tander. ”

"Garland has such a powerful military leader ever existed?" Friedlier said in surprise.

Bruulis nodded.

"But I haven't heard of him, and it seems that he didn't make it to Fayton." Friedlier said.

"Alex Sandel, great monarch, he instinctively built a greater cause. Unfortunately, he died of illness on the way to further conquer Chanla, and he was only thirty-three years old at the time, which was really a jealous talent. If he hadn't died, I think he might have conquered the whole world. "And he was not only a military leader, a great king, but also a great scholar, a great alchemist, and his alchemy was taught by the great philosopher Arestot, who discovered the fifth elemental aether. ”

"Well, it sounds like he's really powerful, but you still haven't told me about the Roland family and the theocratic bloodline." Friedlier said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was looking forward to the great Garland Monarch just now." Brulis said, "The great king, he had no surname. But in order to cherish his memory, commemorate and support his descendants, people gave him the surname Roland. ”

"Oh, so Roland is also his last name. Is this surname rare in your Jialan? Friedlier glanced at Oeve and turned to Bloris to continue asking.

"It's not just rare, Friedrear. It was a one-way surname, a surname that only the descendants of Alex Sundell Loren, the guardian of humanity, possessed. The surname Roland is sacred in the hearts of the Garland people who remember him. Bloris continued, "In the millennia since Alex Sundel's death, the dynasty of Garland has changed constantly, but whoever is in charge of Garland has regarded himself as the guardian of the Roland family and provides for the descendants of the Roland family. Whoever fails to do so will be met with strong opposition and fierce confrontation from the Garland people. ”

"Sounds interesting, who is still alive with the Roland family?" Friedlier asked.

Bruulis scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about this kind of thing. This question should be clarified, and it should be asked to the person who provides for them, such as our current king. ”

"What if your king dies?" "In that case, who should I ask?" In other words, how can I tell if a person is from the Roland family? ”

"This.." Brullis thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to do. Unless someone from the Roland family goes to the Sanctuary to test the divine bloodline, no one can tell if a person is a member of the Roland family. ”

"Go to the Templar to test the theocratic bloodline?"

Bruulis nodded.

"Let's talk about the theocratic bloodline." "So what's going on?" ”

"Well, actually, unlike the Pope of Randy, who always crowned various kings and emperors on behalf of the gods, in our Garland, our patriarch has only performed one divine coronation. It was a thousand years ago that a great patriarch crowned the bloodline of the House of Roland. "Since then, whoever is in power has not had the royal power of the gods, but only the guardian of the Roland family. Therefore, in the hearts of the people of Jialan, the only people who really have the royal power given by the gods are the people of the Roland family who have the blood of the Roland family. ”

"Oh, I see." Friedlear continued, "And what about testing the bloodline?" ”

"In order to prevent anyone from impersonating the Roland family to gain honor and glory, the Patriarch ordered many priests to seal the blood samples of the Roland family in many churches. The blood samples were stored in a spell-covered spherical artifact, and once the Roland family dripped his blood onto the artifact, the artifact would crack. However, if someone else dripped blood on the spherical artifact, the artifact would not react in any way. "That way, we can test the truth of a person who claims to be from the Roland family." ”

Friedlier nodded when he heard this, he turned to look at Oeve on the side and smiled, "No wonder you were so surprised just now, it seems that the surname Roland is indeed very rare and surprising in Garland." ”
