Chapter 050: The Temple
β¦β¦
The timing was just right, when the elevated aqueduct and the Sky Temple were completed at the same time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info made Sauron's eyes suddenly open, most of the living facilities were completed, and the entire territory was in an orderly manner.
Witness the morale in the province soar from 100 to 200 at once. This not only means that the overall combat effectiveness has risen to another level. In addition, all production in the territory is doubled in efficiency.
While the Hawkmen lost their Great Chieftain and main legion, the Freemen showed their loyalty by farming more diligently. As long as the slaves were fed, they worked harder. Secretly aware of the quiet changes taking place within the territory, Zoro ignored the data in his mind.
It seems that the whole temple building is like a forest of columns, giving people a sense of solemnity, tranquility and harmony.
Walked in front of the newly completed Temple of the God of War, raised his head and looked up, the rectangular temple was surrounded by colonnades. The temple is surrounded on three sides by two rows of 160 huge columns, each 10 meters high, supporting the massive roof above.
Only the upper part of the shrine in the center of the temple is not roofed. So that people can also look up at the blue sky inside the temple, and their hearts and souls can also reach the sky from here and be with the god of war.
As the line of sight moved, the lower part of the marble column body was also seen, and there were different forms of figure reliefs. The shape is beautiful, the form is realistic, and it is lifelike. On the edge of the frame, there are also carved reliefs of various eagles, which are delicate and exquisite, and exquisite.
"The Eagle King's territory seems to have discovered a group of highly skilled sculptors and artists."
Under Sauron's gaze, the Eagle Man Elder led a group of human elders in white robes and nodded to the Eagle King.
β¦β¦
The completion of the elevated aqueduct not only provided a continuous supply of clean water in the territory, but also added a holy color to the Temple of the Sky God.
The pillars around the temple are surrounded by water jets in the shape of eagles' heads. Clear water pools longer than two meters can also be found everywhere. All of these make the Sky Temple a masterpiece of the highest level of architecture.
The general style of this temple building is solemn and elegant, with harmony, magnificence, and sublime beauty, giving people a sense of solemnity and grandeur. AndγJust as Sauron expected, the statue of the sky god made of pure gold, standing there, subverted the previous visual sense, and brought more glory to the territory!
Relying on the Sky Temple as the background, the Eagle King sacrificed and swept many subjects, whether they were eagle people or slaves, and he smiled and encouraged, "For our prosperity!" For the glory of the gods! β
As soon as Sauron's words fell, the Eagle Man Elder was just a group of Eagle Man warriors around him, so he couldn't wait to raise the spear in his hand and cheered in a roaring voice, "Cheer, salute my king, salute the new Eagle-Strike Grand Canyon ruler!" β
"The glory of the god of the sky shines, and he will be a great king!"
It is a sacrificial ceremony and a coronation ceremony. When the Great Chief and the High Priest become one, the Eagle Man will give birth to its own king from this day onwards.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The seemingly ordinary cheers are actually a signal of a change of power.
Witnessing the cheering, uplifting crowd reminded Sauron of an allusion to a long, long time ago, a group of people, holding rough beaten stone tools, tied around the girdles sewn from animal skins.
Looking at the world with the curious eyes of a newborn baby. In the vast wilderness of the earth, in front of the vast sea, under the infinite mysterious starry sky, they are confused by their own insignificance and insignificance.
The grass and trees wither, birth, old age, sickness and death, the sun and the moon run...... They are afraid of the invisible but unstoppable power, and a sense of fatalism arises.
Fate is always incomprehensible and inescapable, making people blind.
Because of the belief in the existence of God, people feel the warmth of shelter and light, and the dark and cold souls are redeemed.
So, with great gratitude, fate was covered with piety and worship.
"Praise be the body of the sky, who is our refuge, our city, our God, our rock, our refuge."
To become the much-anticipated Eagle King Sacrifice, there are many conditions to be met. -- First of all, it must be a symbol of piety, and when it is recited and prayed during the ceremony, it must be able to infect everyone present with a magnetic voice.
Apparently, Sauron did just that.
In the past days, he did live a seemingly frugal life, and his words and deeds were in line with the image of a divine servant.
As an affirmation and reward, today, she will be officially crowned as a king.
The corolla of wild olive branches, the texture of which is today replaced by gold.
"Congratulations, Lord Briham, twenty years ago, you became a servant of the gods of the sky. By making progress, you become a glorious sacrifice! And today, you will be crowned king. β
A pair of small silver eyes, sometimes extraordinarily eye-catching, but these eyes can speak, and they are always a reminder of Zoro. This is the symbol of the king.
When the golden corolla fell, Sauron bowed his head slightly,
"Praise be to the god of the sky, I will fulfill my duty!"
In the queue behind him, there was the crisp singing voice of a human girl. Among them, there are special holy flame bearers, holy shield bearers, holy spear bearers, water bottle bearers, etc., and most of them are pure and beautiful human maidens.
It was an honor for these pure maidens, meaning that they would have the opportunity to be chosen and not to be a slave again.
β¦β¦
"Blessed are the gods! for he will shelter us. β
With these data, Sauron placed his hands solemnly on his chest, but for a moment, the Eagle King sacrificed, and only the whites of his eyes appeared in his pupils.
For the first time, the gods showed their miracles, and for the first time they established contact with mortals, it was a shock to Sauron.
In his consciousness, he seemed to look directly into a pair of strange eyes, and suddenly, Zoro was stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, a golden roar caused the skin on his face to contract, and Zoro's lips closed tightly, suppressing the call that was about to be made.
Buzzββββββββ
From the Temple of the Heavens, there was a majestic sound. Rushing out of the forest of columns, a low metallic sound burst out, grimly shaking everything around it.
Even though he had heard the legend of 'God's Gift' for a long time, at this moment, Sauron still took a short, spasmodic breath, and his nerves tensed a little.
The sudden miracle made the noisy screams of the lively people, but the sound was deafening and drowned out everything, and it reverberated noisily, and hung low over the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon.
In the era when civilization was just emerging, people, whether rich or poor, had a common spiritual pursuit, that is, faith and reverence for God. Witnessing the miracle with your own eyes, there will be a dampness in your eyes, and many people will tremble, faint in ecstasy, or be stuck to the ground with 'glue' and will not be able to get up.
But at least, Sauron won't. Because the so-called god of the sky, - did not appear.
The only hint of tension faded, and Zoro remained calm, slowly adjusting his breathing. It's hard to say if it's a miracle, but it's at least a supernatural phenomenon.
At the same time, above the glacier, the shadow of a huge ship swayed, like a water monster caught in a school of fish.
Like an illusion, on this land shoreline, there are many thin shadows of masts one or two inches long, and clusters of sails, like bunches of snow-white flowers shining under the blue sky.
"God-given trade, which can sustain space trade with the kingdom of the gods for three days."
Flashing through the data in his eyes, Zoro's deep pupils shimmered, like two bright lights peeking into the unknown. In the silver eyes, there was only longing and hope, blooming with sparkling light, flowing like a stream.
Buzzββββββ
The second metallic hum pierced the air, and at the same time as the 'God-given Ship' appeared on the shores of the Dead Sea, a second vision appeared in the sky above everyone's vision. As far as the eye could see, it was a round burning sphere, which seemed to be neither large nor small, about two to three meters in diameter.
Sauron's gaze was still pure and warm, but now it added a deepness, as deep as the calm sea in the night.
Upon closer inspection, he found that the middle of the sphere was hollow, and only the outer ring of the sphere was burning. With the circle of heat waves, the fireworks in the sky are dazzling, like a flickering sunset, the last ray of sunlight shining on the earth, condensed in the air for a long time.
The smoke swirled and the black tongue spat out, and in an instant, sparks burst out of the smoke. Most of the subjects had their mouths wide open and looked panicked. Only Sauron's gaze was fixed, his brow furrowed.
As the fireball appears, it sputters rapidly until it disappears.
A set of data gradually gave a new light to his clear eyes, "Through God's gift, I got an unknown target reward - the Sky Temple." β
Although the scorching sun has not yet shone, the sand beside the road has already shown a timid light. The disappearing fireball, on the surface of the illusory sea, stirred up a giant ripple. Quickly streaked across the shore, then condensed into two sparks in Sauron's eyes, and disappeared into the depths of his eyes in an instant.
"Summon the Sky Sanctuary and collect 0/10,000 crystals."
I didn't see the so-called temple.
As his eyes flowed, his eyes reflected such a set of data that he had never seen before, which not only made people feel a little confused, but also made him slightly distracted.
Suddenly, a bright light pierced the eye membrane, and the feeling of dizziness and weakness swirled in the minds of onlookers.
When he noticed the colored light on Zoro's body, Jessica's lips trembled, and she reminded in a trembling voice, "My king! Your body ......"
Stared at by a pair of distracted eyes, Zoro finally realized that the colored light came from his pocket.
A hard object escaped from the pocket in the palm of his hand, stretched out in the sunlight. The surface of this crystal stone is surrounded by a strong halo of multicolored light, like a bright star that has been left behind in the world.
It just confirms the saying, "There is no waste in this world, but the treasure is misplaced and becomes waste." β
Zoro swept the crystal stone in his hand, and immediately realized something, and the light he deliberately suppressed in his eyes suddenly became active. The eyebrows are curved like bows, bouncing over the silver eyes. His eyes are keen, and it seems that he can see anything very clearly.
ββ¦β¦ Send scouts to the Red Grand Canyon and tell Archon Rudolph to go to the Gobi Desert to collect 10,000 crystal stones, hurry! βββ
Looking at the back of the Eagle Scout, shaking his wings. Zoro counted the time in his heart, from here to the bloodstained Grand Canyon, it didn't take even half an hour to fly.
The sun will set in less than 5 hours. So, Rudolph had to collect 10,000 crystals in two and a half hours.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Trade circulates like blood, circulating in a body called 'civilization'.
"My king, in the ancient records, when there is a temple, it will be the symbol of the subtheons. In other words, we eagle people will become the lucky ones favored by the gods, and become a whole god race. The Hawkman's excitement was evident from the exaggerated expression on his face.
Knowing that the Sky Temple was related to the sub-god race, it was like a curious stone pressing on his heart, which made Sauron's heart flow with a warm feeling. But the 'God-given trade' was just around the corner, and he had to seize and cherish the limited time he had for three days.
In the past three months, Sauron has no leisure to worry about the busy days every day, and always keeps his heart in the busy things and devotes himself to them.
Now that the harvest time has finally arrived, Sauron can't help but look at the Sky Temple, and there is a light of inspiration in those bright eyes.
"Ship now!"
With just one order, the doors of more than a dozen warehouses in the Eagle Strike Grand Canyon were all opened, and all kinds of local products such as gold, precious stones, furs, and medicinal herbs were transported to the shores of the Illusory Sea.
Sweeping a large cart of supplies, loading a large ship of light and shadow on the coast. From the data in his eyes, Zoro knew that when these ships of light and shadow passed through space, it seemed that only the clergy could go out to sea with the ships. In addition, the quota in Sauron's hands can only send one diplomat.
As more and more ships of light and shadow approached, a gentle breeze, a cool and fishy smell of the sea came to the surface, and there were orange-red fiery clouds, a deep color that almost rendered half the sky.
The wind on the horizon swept up the thick clouds, and it was the clouds that gathered all the clouds there, forming a huge whirlpool. The surface of the illusory sea resembles a white portico, and around the porch, there are many heavy cloud curtains, as if a carpet is spread downward, quietly waiting for the 'light and shadow ship' to pass through it.
Looking at this strange scene, smelling the fishy wind of a sea water that has never been seen on the shore of the illusory sea.
The 'illusory sea', which had been immovable by thunder in the past, actually began to flow slowly, entering the whirlpool behind the cloud curtain porch.
Sauron was looking at the God-given trade, his silver eyes were sometimes bright and innocent, sometimes gloomy and deep, sometimes sharp and cold. (To be continued.) )
