Chapter 111: Robert's Pilgrimage (Part II)
William picked up the golden disc that had fallen on the table with both hands, rubbed it with both hands, felt its material and touch, and couldn't help but think to himself:
"This delicate and smooth touch, the smooth contours of the arc, the straight, silky and shiny upper and lower surfaces, it can be said that the entire golden disc has no grain protrusions to speak of.
The material was so hard that I pinched it with my hand and left no traces.
Complex textured symbols are engraved on the upper and lower mirrors, and if you look closely, these textured symbols contain other loop imprints.
What a treasure that can only be made with advanced materials and unimaginable processing technology!
This material cannot be compared with even the most advanced titanium alloy material and graphene material in the 21st century, and even the most advanced lithography machine in the 21st century cannot engrave the texture circuit on the gold plate.
This kind of treasure is definitely not something that can be created with the technology that humans possess today.
It seems that what Minerva said is true, she is really the golden human of the First Age civilization!
The Black Iron Humans of our Third Age civilization will really suffer the impact of the catastrophe, and this earth will become the end of the world! ”
"William, you should have promised me a pilgrimage to the holy city of Jerusalem!" Robert came to William's side, pressed his hands on William's shoulders, and said solemnly: "This is God's arrangement, the angel Minerva who lives in the Garden of Eden has handed over the people who will prevent the end judgment to our father and son, we can't escape, this is our mission!" ”
In William's view, the so-called Garden of Eden is actually the world where the Golden Civilization of the First Age is located, and the so-called Golden Human Minerva may really have a person, but what appears in front of William is definitely not an entity, and it may be more appropriate to see her as a preset artificial intelligence program.
As for the apocalypse and the golden civilization holy weapon she mentioned, William could only treat it with the attitude of 'I would rather believe it than believe it not'.
Judging from the ultra-advanced technology content contained in the gold plate in William's hand, perhaps the holy weapon made by integrating all the advanced technologies of the golden civilization may really have the kind of power that Minerva said!
"Father, I see your reason for going on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem." William looked up at Robert, nodded in agreement, and then asked puzzledly, "Since the search for the Golden Civilization Artifact requires the bloodline of a golden human, isn't there anyone else with the bloodline of a golden human?" ”
In the face of William's repeated questions, Robert looked helpless, patted William's shoulder with both hands, and said helplessly: "It's a pity, William!" I've tested it with all the Normandy family members, even relatives outside the family.
But alas, nothing happened!
According to family documents, this gold plate handed down from the Normandy family seems to have reacted only to the descendants of the Normandy family's line, and only one of them in each generation had access to it.
Unfortunately, we are the only ones in the Normandy family who can do it now! ”
"In that case, why don't you let me go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in your place? Let me go around the world in search of the Golden Civilization Hallows? William looked up and asked rhetorically.
Although William accepted the mission of finding the Golden Civilization Artifact and stopping the apocalypse, he could not accept the separation from Robert, and he had a hunch that he might never see his father Robert again after this separation.
"No way!" Robert yelled at William, suddenly squatted down, hugged William tightly with both hands, put his head against his little head, and said with tears in his eyes: "You are my only son, the hope of my Normandy family, I can't let you risk your life!"
I'll leave this mission to my generation of adults!
William, as my descendant, your mission is to carry on the mission given to us by God and to continue the bloodline of the House of Normandy and the Golden Humans! ”
"Father, why don't you wait until I am an adult and have offspring before going to the Holy City? Wouldn't that be safer? William asked.
"Nope! According to the location of the Golden Artifact shown on the gold plate, it is feared that the Golden Artifact in this part of the Holy City of Jerusalem has been found.
If I don't take action, I'm afraid we won't be able to find this golden artifact in the holy city of Jerusalem again in our lifetime! Robert shook his head helplessly and said.
"Now that you've made up your mind, I'm not going to stop you!
However, please pay more attention to your own safety and bring more riders and escorts to ensure your safety along the way.
Please come back safely! William saw that he couldn't move Robert anymore, so he nodded in agreement.
"William, my son, you must take care of me when I'm gone!
Although as an incompetent father, I can't give you a stable upbringing, and I can't hand over a complete duchy to you, but I will leave Duke Aaron II and some cronies and nobles to protect you for me! Robert said with tears on his face and a guilty face.
"Father, I will protect myself well. I will live strong until you return safely! William stretched out his hands, gently stroked Robert's tears, wiped the tears from his face, and said strongly.
"William, you are so strong and brave that I can trust you with the Duchy of Normandy!" Robert handed the golden disc on his desk to William and said, "Take it!" This gold disc handed down from the House of Normandy is a testimony to the God-given mission of salvation to the House of Normandy, and it will be owned by each generation of the House of Normandy.
Now I give it to you, and I hope that you will pass on this mission to your children and grandchildren, and do not forget it! ”
"Yes, Father, I will do it! I will pass on the mission of salvation until there is one more person in my children and grandchildren, who will inherit this mission of salvation and carry it out from generation to generation! William took the golden disc with both hands and solemnly promised.
"William, worthy of being my good son!" Seeing William's solemn promise, Duke Robert said with great relief: "In three days, I will hold a ceremony for you to be crowned heir to the Duke of Normandy.
At that time, I will ask all the nobles of the Duchy of Normandy to declare their allegiance to you, including Kay, Earl of Mortan, who had been hostile to you, and William, Earl of Urburg.
At the same time, I will also leave Arlen II, Duke of Brittany, as regent of the Duchy of Normandy, to protect you when you are too young to rule! ”
"Father!" Faced with Robert's words that seemed to explain the aftermath, William couldn't help but sway, crying and threw himself into Robert's arms.
