Chapter 135: Radian
Actually、Except for the Imperial Palace。 Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The entire Sky Empire Palace complex is divided into two pillared forest complexes, east and west, with corridors in the middle, adding up to a thousand rooms, all of which are connected by winding corridors and stairs as in the legend, and the complexity of the structure is amazing.
At the same time, to the north of the palace is an open-air square, and the stone slabs that line around the square are used to record the civilization and glory of the empire.
This is an elaborate masterpiece, it was once the starting point of an empire, and what is shown and recorded on it is an era of magnificence, an era in which glory belongs only to the Sky Empire.
Garees, the brilliant imperial architect, everything that was once painted on drawings and designed, became a reality.
Raised head, the golden pillars are engraved with the words of the god of the sky, "The works of the emperor are based on the throne of the emperor, and the throne of the emperor is based on authority." ”
"All the laws of the empire are maintained by the authority of the emperor."
The Empress of the Sky Empire winter, there are various relief details on the walls behind her, and all the murals maintain brilliant colors.
It's just that there is no expression on her face, and she is as dull as wood. The priests and servants of the temple in the main hall are all at a loss, you look at me and I look at you, and I can't understand the indifference of His Majesty the Emperor to such a big event at the moment.
Time bit by bit, until half an hour later, the empress, who had her back to everyone, turned around and officially spoke, "The Imperial Senate, those old men who have been clamoring all day long that the power of the Senate is higher than the emperor's authority, and claim to have inherited the will of the God of the Sky, what do they say about this incident?" ”
Thea, the representative of the eight sacrifices of the Pantheon, lifted her white floor-sweeping robe and stepped forward. The emperor who looked up at him said, "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, these old men in the Senate, although they are sincerely afraid on the surface, in fact, everyone is secretly celebrating, and there is finally no mountain on their heads. This is definitely a betrayal of the god of the sky! You should order these old guys to be hanged. ”
On the surface, Winter's face was calm, but secretly she had to admit that since Jessica, no one was worthy of the title of Imperial Sacrifice.
Can you imagine? As a servant of God, as a goddess. Her heart was filled with greed for power.
But then again, although Winter sneered at the woman at the bottom of the stairs, he still had to win her and the power of the temple to his side. Since the disappearance of the god of the sky, the originally centralized power has been torn apart, with the Imperial Senate holding the largest part.
In addition to the Emperor and the Holy Order Legion that did not participate in any conflict, tens of thousands of temples were the most active.
"There's the Legion of the Holy Order, and Uncle Weavers. With the support of Uncle Xianli, the gang of people in the Senate of the Empire, although arrogant, no one dared to attack the Emperor. This time the two holy cities and the Hurricane Temple disappeared. It was directly declared by the Senate that it was the Pantheon's guilt, that they had angered the gods who were standing in the sky, and that they had made the gods of the sky abandon the empire. ”
Although winter can make the Senate and the Pantheon fight to the death. But just now General Weavers brought the news, all the Holy Order warriors have lost their sub-divine skills and have all become ordinary warriors.
"The Celestial Wing Legion. Having lost their sub-divine powers, they are still the most elite and formidable legions in the entire empire. The authority of the Emperor can still be maintained. But it is undeniable that the Senate has at its disposal the Minotaur Heavy Legion and the Orc Night Legion. They were not afraid of themselves, the Emperor. They will no longer be afraid of the Heavenly Wing Holy City Legion that has lost their sub-divine power. ”
The truth is that if the Senate is allowed to burn these wretched clergy, their next goal will be to eliminate themselves, the closest to the gods of the sky, and impose their republic.
Imperial Priest Thea continued, "Your Majesty the Emperor, who values both beauty and wisdom, do you know? The old men of the Senate have been discussing it in the council, claiming that the Wood Elves have distorted the last commandment of the Sky God, and that the Sky God has not made you Emperor at all, but only that the Elven Sage Yulan will take good care of you. Now, the elves have left the Sky Empire and taken refuge with Rudolph, the traitor of the entire plane, who says you should be banished and stay with the wood elves. Also, His Majesty the Great Emperor ......"
Listen to the accusations of the Imperial Sacrifice against the Imperial Senate. Winter looked up, her gaze returned to the golden pillars, looking at the two lines of quotations from the god of the sky.
In the dark, a silent monologue.
"Brother, I don't want to be a big nobleman in winter. Winter just wants to be your sister. Ten years ago, Winter didn't listen to you, and if you're still angry about it, Winter begs your forgiveness again......"
It's been ten years, and in winter I thought that the birds couldn't fly in the sea, and I thought that I couldn't become the emperor.
It was ten years before she appeared, not that the bird could not fly over, but the end of the sea, there was no longer waiting, and she finally became the emperor in winter, and vowed not to shed tears, holding her eyes against the wind, and trying not to blink......
"Ten years, inherited the will of my brother. Every rule set by the god of the sky, every line of imperial law, cannot be changed. Now, the Imperial Senate, wanting to overthrow all this, decided to make them pay for winter! ”
Winter shakes his head, under the imperial crown, the usual scattered long is long today. She was declaring in the custom of the Berserker clan that there would be war.
"Go Thea, gather your temple guards. Send someone to convey my order, and General Weavers and his 20,000 Eagle Men will assemble at once. The most majestic Celestial Wing Legion, under the leadership of the Emperor, will attack the Imperial Senate in Beicheng District. ”
“…… Also, bring a message to the wolf king of Nature, Worf, and tell this old slippery head that if he doesn't want to be executed, he will immediately lead all the wolf legions to support his emperor. He also reminded him to think carefully about who gave him the crown on his head. ”
The order of the Emperor of the Sky Empire, Lidong, ignited a thorn hidden in the depths of the pupils of the Imperial Sacrifice Thea, and turned into a raging fire of thorns.
……
………………
Troll ruins - Hundred Demon Caves.
The quiet night in the forest was gradually washed away by the lit bonfire, and there were six hundred wolf soldiers lurking here, all of whom appeared.
At this moment, they were next to each other, kneeling on one knee in a dense formation, and the fierce and hideous wolf clan captain at the front of the formation didn't even dare to raise his head casually in the face of the young man standing in front of him.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Zoro's face was gloomy.
The wealth that was originally given to the descendants of the trolls last time has long been plundered by the wolf clan. And the rumor that there is a treasure in the troll ruins is nothing more than a rumor spread on purpose.
The wolf brigade was ordered to deliberately scatter some gold and silver coins on the troll ruins to create rumors.
Then come once every half a month and stay for five days at a time. Capture the adventurers who entered the troll ruins during this period and send them to the underground kingdom of the Splitting Mountain and Falls to be hard labor slaves.
The reason why it is necessary to obtain so many slaves in secret. From the mouth of the other party, it was learned that the king of the wolf clan, Worf, was secretly mining and secretly hoarding equipment and weapons.
As for what Wolf wants to do, it can only be guessed for the time being.
The object in Sauron's hand was a rectangular sheet with rounded corners and a pure gold plaque pierced at one end, with the mark of the master dwarf forger and the tooth of a tyrant lizard king who could not be impersonated.
There are two different lines of text on the front and back, and on the front side it reads in ancient Greek: "The oracle of the god of the sky is inviolable, and whoever disobeys it will be put to death." ”
The reverse side is written in symbolic characters that everyone knows, "Swear before the supreme god of the sky, and whoever will disobey or disobey the token will be put to death." ”
This gold medal will be studied in the recruit training of every Imperial soldier.
Ten years ago, such gold medals were actually tokens of Sauron's mobilization of troops, and there were only a few in total.
Regardless, this sacred object has been gone for more than a decade, and it is indeed a little scary to suddenly appear in the hands of a hurricane warrior today.
"Go back and tell Wolf. There is a command from the god of the sky, and I will personally convey it to him. Zoro threw the sign into the hands of the captain of the wolf clan, and at the same time raised his eyebrows, alluding to the few people who were arrested by the wolf clan soldiers not far away, and said indifferently, "Protect them and arrive safely in the city of nature!" ”
Sauron deliberately accentuated the word 'protection'.
The captain of the wolf clan, who had originally lowered his head, raised his forehead slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and finally spoke out to show compliance. "Yes!"
Moving to the middle of the group, Zoro told Evie, "Next. You will be escorted to the City of Nature by this group of wolf soldiers. ”
Just looking at the wolf clan's respectful attitude, no one doubted Sauron's words.
After all, the identity of the Hurricane Warrior of the Sub-God Clan is there, and in the Sky Empire, no one has dared to have the slightest disrespect for the warrior standing under the divine seat.
"What about you? Come with us, wouldn't you? It wasn't until this sentence blurted out that Evie realized that she was a little embarrassed.
What is the identity of the warrior of the Subgod Clan, and how can he be in the company of a group of lowly free people. Even Bassett, who has always been silent, couldn't help but secretly pull the corner of Evie's clothes, suggesting that she 'be careful' to speak.
Seeing these small details in his eyes, Zoro smiled indifferently. "I'll be waiting for you in the square of the City of Nature before sunset tomorrow."
After speaking, he asked the little dryad in the group, "Shui Zhu, do you want to return to your own people's side?" ”
The little dryad stared at Zoro and nodded firmly.
………………
Two figures, one in front of the other, walked in the depths of the narrow and dense forest, and the moon was obscured by the surging black clouds. Only a faint dark halo shines through from behind the thick clouds.
It makes the trees in front of you crooked and eerie.
And the water droplets, which have been two meters behind, can't help but speed up their pace and be cautious at this time. I'm afraid of losing it.
A gust of wind shook the treetops high up, and deep in the luxuriant canopy, there was a slow rustle.
I don't know when it started, in Zoro's pupils. A variety of beautiful buildings began to appear, and there are many traces of people cleaning.
"Glorious Queen, she's here." An exclamation.
Rustling footsteps are heard approaching. Zoro stretched out a hand, grabbed the tense dryad water droplet, and held up a cloud of red light with one hand, a transparent vesicle from this red light kept denting, propping up a stealth barrier of the Sky Holy City.
"Huh?"
A few minutes later, two adult male dryads, armed with spears and bows, looked at the empty grass and let out a startled start, and then quickly patrolled in other directions.
In a large ancient forest, these exquisite buildings around me appeared very abruptly. The little dryad opened her mouth wide in shock, she had never seen such a scene before.
The appearance is generally solemn and magnificent, the carving is meticulous, the structure is symmetrical and beautiful, whether it is seen up close or far away, it is unique and beautiful, challenging people's vision.
As he walked along the way, Zoro finally stopped in the heart of the city.
In front of him, a building with a hollow pattern supported a heavy and solemn temple with its towering columns.
Two black and thick towers with their sloping eaves-
Although the various buildings are piled up but not chaotic, the steps are accompanied by countless carved and shaped portraits, which are very suitable for the solemn greatness of the whole, it can be said that it is a huge symphony of stones, the buildings are perfectly harmonious, the whole is magnificent, and the compact arrangement is presented to the eyes, which makes people feel a little innocent and indifferent at the same time.
Once a sanctuary for the Wood Elves, it is now a retreat for the Glorious Queen and the Dryads.
In his sight, the heavily armed dryad warrior muttered, "Strange."
Then he walked up the white steps and respectfully returned upward, "Your Royal Highness, there is no sign of the intruder. But I think it must be the minions and watchmen of the Senate again. ”
Following the Dryad's sturdy body, in Sauron's sight. It was a woman who was almost 4o years old.
Although ten years have passed, her figure still maintains the ultimate beauty at the peak of youth - maturity, confidence, and beauty.
Her graceful posture, abundance, and wonderful shoulders show that she is a true beauty.
The blue eyeshadow that used to be used with a brush along the creases of the eyetails is no longer there.
The eye folds are outlined from the eyes of the glorious queen, slightly old.
"Okay, it's okay. This is a place protected by the god of the sky, and no one in the Sky Empire dares to offend this peaceful forest. Let's go down......"
A few minutes later, Sauron saw the Glorious Queen turn and walk into the building behind her. Her back, compared to ten years, is a little lonely, desolate, or what?
Sauron felt more like trying to write a mixture of words.
Holding on to the invisibility barrier, Sauron stepped into the ancient temple built by the Wood Elves.
In the eyes of the dryad, she saw that there seemed to be a crystal stone flickering in Zoro's eye sockets, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a slight arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. (To be continued.) )
