Chapter 84: The Mystery of Tia's Origin (Part II)
King John and Helena looked at each other, and finally John spoke first,
"Actually, your true identity is a fragment of the Eternal Stone."
"The Stone of Eternity? The Stone of Eternity on the Staff of Eternity as recorded in the Book of Apocalypse? ”
"Yes, you also heard it just now, the oracle that appeared in the Apocalypse of Destruction on the day you were summoned by the Apocalypse: The Stone of Eternity is about to gather, and your mission will be completed, to dedicate your life to reshape the body of the great God of Creation. After Medaril learned about it, she kept in retreat in her 'Tomorrow's Palace' for three days and three nights, and on the day she came out, she just said: 'The princess will complete the five-colored stone, and the world will be redeemed by this.' ’”
"The 'Stone of the Five Colors' is the 'Stone of Eternity', which means that you are indeed our daughter, but you are unique in that you were born with a mission from God, and whether we accept it or not, this is fate."
Helena looked sadly at her daughter.
"Since Tia is one of the fragments of the Eternal Stone, why are the demons chasing us?"
Alan felt that things were not so simple.
"I talked about the fact that on the day of Medaril's accident, the "Creation Poem" was stolen together. "Creation Poem" is a demon thing, Alan, do you know? ”
"Hmm."
"Oh? Would you have known? ”
King John thought that Alan would ask about the "Creation Poem", but he didn't expect that Alan seemed to be very familiar with the background of "Creation Poem".
"My father told me."
"Oh, even in Wangcheng, there shouldn't be many people who know this secret, it seems that your father once held an important position in Wangcheng, and if you have a chance, you have to introduce your father to me."
John didn't go any further, but continued,
"This "Creation Poem" was sealed a hundred years ago, but on the day Tia was summoned by the "Apocalypse", "Creation Poem" also had a tendency to break the seal. The seal of "Creation Poem" was originally cast with divine power, so Tia is the only person with divine power in the entire Stewart Kingdom. I, Helena, and Medaril agreed that Tia's divine power should be used to strengthen the seal, and the prototype of the seal was hidden in the Eternal Fall. ”
"So, the Eternal Fall is the only key to unlock the seal?"
Alan finally pieced together the clues in front of him and understood the ins and outs of these things. However, I still feel that there is something missing, but I can't remember anything.
"John and I have always kept Tia hidden in this royal city and protected it. Since Medalil's accident, it has intensified, and in order to protect her, he even refuses to let her participate in any social activities. This is perhaps the most wrong thing we can do as parents, but there is such a thing as no end. Let the child's childhood be so lonely"
Helena looked at Tia sadly.
"Mother..."
Tia lifted her Krinolin skirt and raced to Helena, her hands hugging her tightly.
"Your Highness John, since the Demon Race needs the 'Eternal Fall', the several attacks we encountered on the way back make me feel that their goal is not just that. It seems that they would have preferred to have Tia and take her captive. ”
Alan touched his forehead, thoughtful.
"In recent years, there have been some rumors circulating in Wangdu. As Tia grows older, she longs to be in touch with the outside world. Study ores to learn spells better. More than once he has mentioned to us going out to practice. However, we rejected them, and part of the reason was this rumor. ”
"What kind of rumors? Father, is it about me? ”
Tia asked uneasily.
"In the past ten years, the demons have not only sent many murderous devils, but also sent a lot, the so-called 'missionaries', they are actually composed of the lowest-level demon 'ghost servants', although their direct attack ability is very weak, but they are very good at demagogic people. Spread rumors in Odaheim and neighboring villages outside the royal capital, using the "Genesis Poems" in their hands to create so-called "miracles", establishing branches of "Creationism" in various cities, and preaching the release of everyone's desires to save the world. ”
King John paused and continued,
"They spread that in the treasury of the royal capital, there is a book of "Apocalypse of the World", which is a book of oracles that can save the world, and this book shows that if the oracle can get the blood of the princess, it will make the 'Eternal Stone' intact and return to the 'Eternal Staff' of the God of Creation, so that the God of Creation will awaken and drive away the demons of the world. So that those who have been harmed by the demons can also come back to life. Gradually, these rumors circulated from city to city. Finally, it was passed to the royal capital. Over the years, there have always been "Creation Religion" followers who have been bewitched by the "Creation Poem" to come to the king to ask for their lives, with **, suicide in public and other radical behaviors, asking for the sacrifice of the princess. There are even more cults or non-governmental organizations. ”
"What are the demons doing all this for? The oracle in the Apocalypse only says that I can complete the 'Eternal Stone', as for how it is complete, there is no exhaustive explanation, and maybe it doesn't necessarily require the sacrifice of anyone's life! Besides, if I can wake up the Apocalypse, shouldn't the demons be even more afraid? It's because of this book of gods that the seal of the demon god is not the most feared artifact of the demon race? ”
Tia asked, puzzled.
"The purpose of the demons has not yet been clarified, but it is almost certain that the demons do indeed hope to open the Apocalypse by obtaining Tia. Today's demon gods are too perverse, why they do this, or they don't have a clue."
King John seemed to have aged a lot at once when he spoke of these things that troubled him. He is responsible not only for his daughters, but also for those who were originally kind, but were bewitched. Get them back on track, but it seems, something is not out of control right now.
"Your Highness John, that is, even if the oracle mentions that Tia can complete the Eternal Stone and save the world, you will not let your daughter take the risk?"
Although Alan knew the answer, he still wanted an affirmative answer from John's mouth.
"Yes, Tia is our daughter, we love her very much, even if the world really comes to the point where it needs to be saved with her sacrifice, as a father, as the king of the kingdom of Stewart, I will be the first to stand up, my daughter will be protected by me, and my country will be protected by me, not by such a child. If you can't even protect your own children, then what kind of king will you become and what planet will you save. ”
King John got up from his seat excitedly, and Tia looked at his father, deeply moved, and shook each other's hands with his mother.
