138 Reasons for opening up to the outside world (ask for subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )

In the very center of the royal capital, there is a huge lake.

The lake is crystal clear, and the sunlight shines on it, making the surface of the lake seem to be covered with a golden veil, which is extraordinarily dazzling.

From time to time, the waves of water ripple in it, bringing a pleasing scene.

And in the center of this lake, there is a place like an island in the middle of the lake.

There, a chalk castle rises from the ground, and in the center of the lake, separated from the flat land, only connected by a huge stone bridge, which stands above the lake as the only road that can reach the chalk castle.

"Wow..."

When Lumia and Merika saw this, they were already speechless with amazement, and their eyes sparkled.

"It's..."

Even Sheehan couldn't help but be a little amazed, you can imagine how beautiful this scene is.

And the people came from all directions, gathered in front of the bridge, and after being examined by the knights who were guarding the bridge, they entered the bridge one by one, and went in the direction of the chalk castle.

It's a magnificent sight, and if you want to be a sightseeing spot, it's definitely a hot rhythm.

No, it's all hot now.

The evidence is that more and more people are coming from all directions, including nobles in carriages and heavily armed adventurers.

Vivien came here with the others, and after a brief examination by the knights at the bridge, they walked up to the bridge.

"See?" Vivien led the way as she pointed to the chalk castle on the island in the middle of the lake, and said to Sheehan and the others, "That's the palace." ”

The castle of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Mithra is located on a lake in the center of the royal capital, and can only be reached by this only bridge road.

Needless to say, this is what Vivien was referring to by "the most important place".

"No... I didn't expect the royal palace to be built on the lake..."

Lumia hadn't yet reacted from her amazement.

"yes, it's beautiful."

Melika looked at the clear lake on both sides of the bridge and the majestic and beautiful chalk castle, and her face was full of joy.

As an elf who is close to nature, Merica must like it here, right?

Sheen had fallen in love with the place, looking around and asking Vivien.

"Is the palace a place where you can enter casually?"

Not only Sheen and others, but also civilians and adventurers in the royal capital can casually walk on this bridge and go to the palace, which is indeed a bit unexpected by Sheen.

But this time, Sheehan was wrong.

"Of course not, not in normal times, let alone the royal palace, even this bridge does not allow ordinary civilians and adventurers to pass, otherwise there is no need to set up a knight order to guard the bridge in front." Vivien explained, "The bridge is only open to the public at noon every day, and although it still won't allow ordinary people to enter the palace, the Knights won't stop it if they just cross the bridge to the island in the middle of the lake. ”

"Why?" Without much hesitation, Sheen asked his own question, "If you don't want to be passed casually, then there's no need to open it to the public at noon, right?" ”

Unless there is some special reason.

Vivien explained this particular reason.

"Because there is not only a royal palace on the island in the middle of the lake, but also a temple."

Vivien pointed to the side of the palace.

Under Vivien's guidance, Sheehan and the others saw that there was indeed a sacred and solemn palace next to the palace.

"It is the largest and most important temple in the kingdom of Mithra, all the temples in the kingdom are dominated by it, subject to its control, the priests and believers in the temple also regard it as a holy place, once they come to the royal capital, they will definitely come to worship, and the newborn child also needs to come here to receive the blessing of God, the island in the middle of the lake cannot always be closed, so only at noon every day, the island will be open to the public, except for suspicious characters will be stopped, the rest of the people can easily pass."

Vivien looked in the direction of the temple, her eyes flickering.

"There is also a door in the temple that can connect to the divine realm, through that door, people can go to the divine realm, and the goddesses in the divine realm also come to the human realm through that gate, therefore, that temple is extremely important for the entire kingdom and even the human world, if it weren't for the fact that the establishment of this country was the brave man who defeated the demon king, I am afraid that the palace would not dare to build a bigger and more brilliant temple than that temple, let alone let the temple sit next to it."

In this world, divine power is far more important than royal power.

Of course, not absolutely.

For example, the brave man who defeated the demon king thousands of years ago will even be respected by the three goddesses, so the temple of the god clan will be willing to sit next to it, if it is changed to another country, this situation will never happen.

Moreover, divine power is more important than royal power, and that also depends on the object.

Even if the Protoss is the creator and guide of the human race, there are also classes in the Protoss, if it is only a lower-level god, the status is naturally much more noble than the average commoner, but it is impossible to say that it is more noble than the nobles and even the royal family.

Therefore, although the human race obeys God's teachings, it is not completely obedient to God, and it still needs to look at status.

Generally speaking, the status of the royal family and the nobility is already higher than that of the lower gods, like the royal family of the country established by the brave, the status is not even different from the higher gods, only the existence of the three goddesses at the level can make the royal family of this country bow down.

And if it is the royal family or small nobles of some small countries, then their status is not even comparable to that of the lower gods.

To sum up, which side of the divine right or the royal power is more powerful depends on different occasions and different people, and this country is due to the relationship established by the brave, and the status of the royal family should not be underestimated, and the divine family must give enough respect.

But...

"In recent years, there has been one more reason for the island to open up to the outside world."

Vivien shifted gears and brought up the topic.

Sheehan was drawn to attention.

"Is that the reason the treasure of the kingdom you just mentioned?"

Sheen asked curiously.

"That's right."

Vivien nodded and said.

"About seventeen years ago, a being known as the Arcana was born in the kingdom."

Hearing this, Sheehan was stunned.

Because, Vivien's words told Sheen that the treasure of the kingdom seemed to be a person.

And so it is.

"She is extremely talented, and as soon as she was born, her magic power alarmed the Protoss, and the goddess of fate among the three goddesses crossed over to bless her."

"She is the direct heir of the royal family, that is, the descendant of the brave, with high potential, and is even known as the modern brave."

"She was already level ten when she was four years old, and she was even promoted to level thirty when she was ten years old, and when she became an adult two years ago, her level was sixty, and she was the first genius of the kingdom and even the entire human world."

"The kingdom regards it as the pillar of the future, and even more so as the apex of the future of this world, so let her learn from the legendary knight captain and learn from him."

"Because of her amazing talent and appearance, the people have long regarded her as a spiritual pillar, and if they can't see her safe and sound every day, there may even be riots."

"Therefore, another reason for the opening of the island is to reassure the people."

"That said, now is the time for her to come out and make rounds."

While speaking, Vivien and her party arrived at the island in the middle of the lake and came to the palace.

At the same time, a commotion appeared.
