One night in mid-January 1035, Duke Robert summoned William to his study, and the bright candlelight illuminated their faces, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

"Father! Are you really going on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem? William asked with a frown.

William was adamantly opposed to his father's decision to go to the holy city of Jerusalem to atone for his sins, because he knew that the official pilgrimage in history cost his father his life and caused chaos in the Duchy of Normandy, which had just been restored to peace.

William, who has traveled back in time for the 21st century, could not comprehend the reverence of the people of this era for the holy city of Jerusalem.

So what is the holy city of Jerusalem?

It's a place where you have to go no matter how poor you are, even if you're singing and begging for food.

Even if you are a wealthy aristocratic businessman, if you have not been to the Holy City, then your life will be in vain.

Just like the feelings of those Tibetans in Tibet towards Lhasa, people who have been to Tibet have seen many people on the road to bow one step at a time, kowtowing 100,000 heads all the way to Lhasa, which is a kind of respect for the holy city.

Why, then, did the city of Jerusalem bear the name of the Holy City?

That's because it was here that the Christian Jesus was crucified, buried here, and miraculously resurrected here.

Why, then, do people make pilgrimages to the holy city of Jerusalem?

Because if a person commits a sin, he can atone for his sins by coming to the holy city of Jerusalem, and God can forgive and forgive him for any of his greatest sins.

If Duke Robert really wants to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, then from Normandy to Jerusalem, he will have to travel more than 10,000 kilometers through Germany, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Syria, and it will take at least a year to go back and forth.

With the backward food and lodging conditions and security conditions in the Middle Ages, people who traveled long distances often died on the way.

"Maybe it's a kind of atonement for my previous killings! Since I promised the title of Duke of Mandy, my hands have not known how much blood they have stained, and I have long been unable to wash away my sins, so I need to go to the holy city of Jerusalem to atone for my sins to God Almighty and Knowing. Duke Robert said with a sincere face.

"Father, if you need atonement, you don't have to go to the Holy City to atone for your sins, you can ask the Archbishop or even the Pope to pray to God for you and atone for your sins!

On the way to the Holy City, any accident could end your life, and if anything happens to you, I am afraid that the Duchy of Normandy will be in war again, and I will not be safe!

You want to go to Jerusalem to atone for your sins, and I can't agree to it anyway! William said with a solemn face and a resolute attitude.

William believes that there is a possibility, but not all, and this alone cannot convince William.

Looking at such a stubborn William, Robert saw that he couldn't convince William, so he sighed helplessly and said, "Well, I will tell you the real reason why I decided to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem!" ”

As he spoke, Duke Robert took out a golden disc from his bosom and laid it flat on the table.

William poked his head to take a closer look, and saw that the golden disc was twelve centimeters in diameter and five centimeters thick, and the whole golden disc was outlined with complex textures and some strange words, emitting a faint golden light in the dimly lit corner.

"William! Just place your hand on the gold plate and you'll get the answer you want! Duke Robert said solemnly.

"Yes!" William looked at the golden plate, swallowed, and stretched out his right hand to press on the gold plate.

Buzzing... Buzzing...

At the moment when William's right hand stroked the gold plate, the keyboard standing on the table suddenly shook and stood up, making a buzzing sound, and the texture on the gold plate suddenly projected a dazzling golden beam, stabbing William had to cover his eyes.

After a while, he finally got used to the golden beam of light projected on the gold plate, but when he opened his eyes, William saw this unforgettable scene.

The golden disc that had been placed on the table actually floated in mid-air and spun at a uniform speed on its own.

The golden beams of light projected on the gold disk gradually converged, and a hologram like a science fiction movie appeared in mid-air.

A large sphere appears in the picture, and with reference to the similar outline of the land above, William knows that it is the Earth.

Whether it is a strange-looking building or a variety of strangely dressed human beings, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have a civilization and technology far beyond what can be achieved in the 21st century.

William couldn't believe that there had ever been such a developed and advanced civilization on Earth, and even William from the 21st century was quite shocked by this, perhaps in the eyes of Duke Robert these scenes were the scenes of heaven where God lived.

Suddenly, the golden beam projected on the gold disk converged, and the floating gold disk began to rotate in the opposite direction, and the beam on the gold disk was projected again.

Surprisingly, the scene changed again in mid-air, a middle-aged woman in Greek-style clothing, a bizarre helmet and neck pads, floating in the air, her body exuding a divine aura that was dazzling and impossible to look at.

I saw her open her eyes, look down at William, and say expressionlessly: "My name is Minerva, the golden human of the first age civilization of the earth.

The civilization of the Third Age, the Black Iron Humanity will usher in a catastrophe in a thousand years, all humans and civilizations will be destroyed, and no one will survive!

Go find the Golden Civilization Artifacts scattered around, form them into guardians and activate it, and the Third Age civilization and the Black Iron Humanity will be saved from the apocalypse.

O my child, a descendant of the golden human blood!

You are the most gifted Black Iron Human I have ever met, and I will grant you the blessing of gold! ”

Minerva, who was floating in mid-air, waved her right hand, and a golden owl flew out of the void.

I saw it fanning its wings, and with a 'whoosh' rushed into William's mind, who was still in a state of confusion.

"Go and find the Golden Civilization Hallows, my descendants, may you succeed!"

The ethereal voice in mid-air was still echoing, but Minerva's figure had long since disappeared.

As Minerva vanished, there was a 'clang', and the golden disc floating in mid-air fell onto the table.

William looked over and saw that the lines on the gold plate had been reassembled and a map was marked with several shiny dots, the brightest of which was the Holy City of Jerusalem, while the rest of the dozen dots were dim.
