Chapter 121: Round Table
The phantom clone shattered in front of the mural, and Cassia outside the pyramid felt it for the first time.
The strange thing is that he didn't feel any malice, and the power of the oppressive clone was not very strong, but his clone was too weak, and it was too far from the body.
But what was in that secret room buried deep underground? What did the doppelganger see, it was like a cat's paw scratching in his heart for the inquisitive Cassia.
After thinking about it again and again, seeing that the desert night was getting cooler, Cassia minimized his sense of existence, tried to avoid people, and came to the shadow of the pyramid.
Touching the thousand-year-old rock, he lay down, resting his head on a boulder, and then closed his eyes.
The power of life continued to pour out of the sea of consciousness, and a normal-sized 'cassia 'appeared' on the side of the body.
The two cassias opened their eyes and looked at each other for a moment, smiling at each other.
Ontology: "Over to you." ”
Clone: "Don't worry. ”
Ontology: "Damn retarded." ”
The clone smiled, turned and walked through the boulder towards the inside of the pyramid, while the main body closed its eyes again, carefully manipulating the clone.
Cassia passed through countless boulders to the center of the pyramid, and then plunged headlong, the deep layer of soil could not hinder the clone in the slightest, but Cassia was still a little unaccustomed to this feeling in his sight.
Eventually, the surrounding soil layer disappeared abruptly, and Cassia landed steadily in the chamber.
Perceiving it, the secret room is about ten square meters, rectangular, although empty, but there is no artificial exit, temporarily removing the possibility of theft, and it is so deep, the ghost can know that there is still a space underground.
After discovering nothing else, Cassia followed the strange feeling to the front of the three murals.
"The first doppelganger saw these three murals?"
Cassia was careful, and the body outside also frowned, and the life force continued to supply the past, while ensuring that contact could be disconnected at any time.
Cassia slowly raised his head, and the first picture was still by the Nile, where countless people worshiped the nine figures that appeared in the sky.
"Nine Paths, the Nine Pillars God of Egypt?"
After nothing unusual for a long time, Cassia looked at the second mural.
In the mural, the flood is monstrous, the people are up and down, a mess, above the flood, the original majestic figures of the nine realms ignore the tragic situation below, and bow to an oval object in the sky that exudes light.
"Huh?" Cassia sneered, the round light, the first thing he thought of was the sun god 'La', but the one led by the Nine Pillars God below should be 'La', so what is it on it?
Suddenly, the familiar feeling began to strengthen from the mural, grinding towards the doppelganger, the body outside was stunned, and the stomach felt hot, and the vitality of the body not only did not disconnect, but strengthened the supply a lot.
In the dark secret room, the clone emitted a faint golden light, and the strange power that came out of the mural collapsed and disappeared at the touch of a button.
Before Cassia could react, the strange feeling was gone, and the mural on the wall was no longer strange, and began to slowly weather, falling a fine sand.
"Not good!"
Cassia quickly looked to the other side, where the third mural was half weathered, the lower half of the human body had disappeared, and the upper half, nine Egyptian gods, side by side, with glowing oval-shaped objects on their heads, had stepped into a circle.
At this glance, the three murals all turned into fine sand, and the clones stood in place for a long time, carefully examined the surroundings with their own eyes, and finally returned to the outside and merged with the body.
Cassia opened his eyes and looked at the bright galaxy in the sky, silent for a while, thinking about what had just happened and the contents of the mural, he gently touched his stomach.
"Is that you?"
......
......
The capital of the Solan Empire, Sears
In order to facilitate the management of the new empire, Ferrante did not make too many changes in the place name, and even the new capital was also chosen in Sears.
The original headquarters of the Aeolian Church was relocated and a new church, the Church of Light, was built.
Yes, the Church of Light, and across the street from the Church of Light, the headquarters of the more magnificent Church of the God of War is located.
The two churches were adjacent to each other, something that the United Kingdom of the South, founded by Ferranch, did not have.
Even in the sea city of Idores, the Poseidon Church and the Church of Light are separated by a district.
It was also the first time that the inhabitants of Sears had seen two churches next to each other, and in their minds and perceptions, there should not be only one faith and be hostile to each other?
The explanation given by the royal palace is that there is freedom of belief, and even if the king has his own beliefs, he will not force his people to be spiritual slaves.
Such a statement, coupled with a series of decrees after Ferrante ascended to the throne, quickly stabilized the Solan Empire, which should have been chaotic for a while.
Of course, Ferrante learned the term freedom of belief from his eldest brother.
Things turned out to be as Cassia expected, in the valley, the ruins of the Temple of the God of War did not make Ferrante openly give up the light, so the back hand left by Cassia came in handy.
If you don't want it, then I'll shoehorn it into you.
Ferrante fought on the battlefield all his life, and the knights of the Church of Light at the beginning of his command also changed from a majority to a small part.
As for other ordinary soldiers and generals, many of them have become firm believers in the god of war, especially those bigwigs in the army, as if their lives have ushered in a second spring.
As Ferrante said: It is better for people to have faith.
As for him himself, not only did his strength rise further, but his prestige also spread throughout the Hokuriku, when did people ever see someone who could be favored by two gods at the same time?
There are even rumors among the deep alleys and alleys that the first king of the Solan Empire, Ferrante, is the true son of the gods.
Ferrante didn't stop such rumors, because he didn't know if he had faith or ...... Belief in what.
This is also why, in addition to the God of War Faith, the Light Faith also appeared in the Solan Empire.
There is another reason, and that is the compromise, Ferrante's compromise with Alena, after all, the two ...... Or friends.
Sears Palace, outside the main hall, Sophia took Ferrante's arm and quietly accompanied him around the main hall.
The patrol guards in the palace consciously hid far away, avoiding here, and went up to hang around at this time, not looking for death.
"I still don't like the way you wear armor, isn't that regular dress I made with my own hands? ”
Sophia said, her palm caressing Ferrante's back, this armor has been with him for most of his life, although it has been repaired countless times, but the blood stains in some of the knife marks cannot be erased.
Ferrante chuckled, and the eyeballs of the guards, who had good eyesight in the distance, were about to fall.
Holding Sophia's hand, Ferrante said in a rare whisper: "I rubbed the spice today." ”
"What's the use of that?"
"There's a meeting, and you can't wear your regular clothes...... Actually, I don't like the way you look in that Inquisition leather armor. ”
"I ...... I'll go and come back quickly, you take care of your son. ”
Ferrante nodded: "Don't worry, when I finish the meeting, send someone to go with you." ”
Sophia nodded, holding her arm with force, and the two walked around the hall twice, and then Ferrante entered the hall, and Sophia stood for a while and then left the place.
The hall was brightly lit, a large round table was placed in the center, twelve knights were seated in a circle, and Ferrante sat on the main seat, the long sword encrusted with rubies reclining on the chair.
"Your Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty. ”
The knights stood up and saluted.
Ferrante pressed his hand, "I'm still used to you calling me boss." ”
"Hahahahaha......"
Laughter filled the hall for a while, and the twelve knights remembered their childhood memories at the same time.
More than twenty years ago, in Sears, fourteen of them followed Ferrante, and one by one they rushed to the stake.
But now there are two people missing, and in the interception battle of the Rider Grand Canyon that year, there was not one out of ten out of three hundred knights, and two of the fourteen brothers were also left there.
If they had survived, how good would it be now......
Ferrante was silent for a while, then put away his laughter: "The question of the nobility will be handled according to what was said before, and all the rights of all the nobles will remain unchanged, except for fiefs and private soldiers. ”
"Then they'll all become big businessmen. Someone teased.
"Big merchants are big businessmen, exchanging fiefs and private soldiers for a life and countless gold coins, and there is no reason why they should not agree. ”
Ferrante nodded: "Nobility should be reflected more in virtue than strength...... By the way, tomorrow you will send six of you and Sophia back to Tria to escort His Excellency Slum home. ”
The twelve people looked at each other, Slum was the former deputy head of the Light Paladin, and it was he who brought the exchange group to Sears back then.
It's just that now that he is old and sick, Ferrante found him in the dungeon after taking Sears, and he almost didn't recognize him at the time.
"Boss, did you need six people to escort Lord Slrom and the eldest sister?"
Ferrante glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth curled: "When you get to Tria, you will know." ”
