El Dorado, Western Continent.

Bright silver stars adorn the night, like sparkling and sparkling gems, shining on the western continent immersed in the festive atmosphere. In the quiet of the night, an inconspicuous meteor streaked across the sky, seemingly without a track, and as if following a trajectory, finally falling to the riverbank.

Boom ——!

With a loud roar, the deep crater collapsed, and the riverbank shook and set off huge waves, rippling one after another. A cold and strong wind carried a dark breath from the place where the meteorite fell, and the wind and sand mixed with the dead grass splashed like raindrops, and with the agitation of the air current, a ghost-like figure appeared.

From his point of view, a classical city stretched across the banks of the river, with boulder-filled urban areas and scattered small towns outside the city. The stars are lit up, and the long, straight and slender watchtowers rise from the ground, surrounding the city from near and far.

A little closer, a rammed-earth avenue follows the river to the city gate in the distance. There is a stone monument at intervals on both sides of the road, and there are traces of burning candles on the stone monument, and it is conceivable that the road in the first half of the night must be lit up, like a glorious road connecting to Eternal Paradise.

"In this kind of festival, the death of the Sun King and the turmoil of the thousand-year-old city will definitely be regarded as a bad omen. ”

Before the words fell, the ghostly figure was already in sight, as if it was dormant in the darkness.

......

On the towering white walls of the thousand-year-old city, countless lights gathered into a sea of light, the goddesses sang smoky chants, and the flags of the gods fluttered in the wind. Red petals fluttered in the air, falling from the sky like flocculents, and the golden gates, decorated with the emblem of the sun wheel, were opened, and the lintels were carved with majestic statues of the sun gods.

The city's main thoroughfares are covered with a carpet of red wool that runs in a straight line through the city to the gates on the other side. The priests holding white candles all showed solemn expressions, unfurled the banners of each temple, and marched forward in a long line.

Under the cover of night, the long line of priests holding candles was like nine long dragons, starting from the temple of the Nine Pillars God and leading to the reception platform of the Millennium City.

The reception platform is a prototype platform with a diameter of 100 meters, surrounded by twelve white minarets connected to the arches of the city wall, and the spire that pierces the sky is like a heavy cavalry spear, and twelve bronze bells are suspended from the spire, which swaying and roaring, releasing a thunderous majesty.

It is a special ritual for the priests to commemorate Good Friday, which originated at the end of the War of the Gods, the final battle in which the Golden Demon God concentrated his efforts to destroy the kingdom of the gods. At that time, the people who were blessed by the gods were war-torn and prayed for the gods, and finally waited for a miraculous victory.

This day is always remembered because the victory was not easy to come by, and because the gods fell in this battle, they called it Good Friday.

By now, far too long has passed since the time of Good Friday, and even the priests know only a vague legend:

Countless centuries ago, when the sky and the earth were not separated, and the world became one. The gods and the twelve golden demon gods started a protracted war, and in the end, the gods suffered heavy losses, but they barely ended up in a tie due to the internal conflict of the demon gods.

The dying gods used their last power to create a new world before they fell, trying to preserve the spark of civilization - this is where the Land of Light came from.

(El Dorado was just the name given to the Land of Light by the ranger trio, which was later identified with by Ivan as the El Dorado was in fact known to the locals as the Land of Light.) ）

......

On Good Friday, the Sun King, who had lived in the palace for a long time, would also leave the court and spread the glory of the sun to the people.

The two Sun Kings would set out from the court, follow the main road to the outskirts of the city, and then travel around the city walls throughout the Millennium City. In the process, people would also spontaneously go out of the city and wait on both sides of the road to see the Faces – in the belief that they would be blessed for a year.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The crowd screamed with excitement.

Guarded by a golden guard of honor, a holy white carriage floated on the horizon, drawn by eight noble white steeds. Leading the way were beautiful goddesses dressed in light veils, holding the golden sun wheel flag in both hands, and the flag was like a burning golden sun under the light.

"Long live the Sun King!"

"Long live the Sun King!"

"Long live the Sun King!"

The moment they saw the carriage appear, the people cheered and waved the burning torches in their hands vigorously. For a while, in the dark night, the outskirts of the city were like a fire dragon, shaking off its scales and claws with the noisy cheers, dancing excitedly.

Boom ——!

At the moment when the shouting reached its peak, the suddenly refreshing night suddenly cut two pale electric lights, illuminating the entire Millennium City in an instant. The meandering electric light fell from the sky, and the impartial carriage in the middle, the Sun King, who had been smiling at the people before, was instantly split into two charred and blackened corpses by the thunder.

The cheers came to an abrupt end.

The people who saw the Sun King struck by lightning at close range even fell to the ground, and one by one they were stunned on the spot, as if they had found themselves accepting what was happening in front of them.

Descendants of the sun god Atum...... How could the great son of God be killed by lightning?

This, how is this possible!

Is Thor ready to usurp the throne?

Panic spread like a plague through the crowd, and the jubilant suburbs quickly fell silent, and the expressions of countless people became dazed and frightened for a moment, and only the accompanying priests were the quickest to respond, scolding the petrified golden-armored guards and ordering them to welcome the convoy back to the court.

After a long silence as the guard of honor drove away in a hurry, whispering doubts spread through the crowd. The spread was as unstoppable as a flood, quickly spreading throughout the Millennium City—

On Good Friday, the Sun King Hefser and Thutmose were killed by thunder!

After the news spread, rumors suddenly spread in the Millennium City. Some people think that this is ironclad evidence of Thor's rebellion, some people think that it is a sign of the coming of the end, and some people think that the Sun King and his wife have lost the favor of the Sun God.

Because of the shocking nature of what happened, all kinds of rumors were supported, especially the rumor of the 'loss of divine grace'. People believe that the two sun kings did something angry and resentful, so that they were punished by God on the day of the festival and died tragically in front of the onlookers.

One-one-one-one-one-one

Millennium City, the Nexus Sanctuary.

Despite the rumors in the thousand-year-old city, the sacred place is as quiet and solemn as ever, and it is a place of meditation and prayer for the priests of Hades, and in some religious occasions it even holds thousands of people to pray together, so the interior is very majestic, with forty-eight white stone pillars supporting a majestic vaulted dome. Rows of silver benches close towards the central altar to form a centripetal fan-shaped space, imbued with a sense of spatial majesty.

The mysterious space is full of reliefs, densely arranged, and the light falls on the huge white stone pillars through the high windows, mottled with light and shadow, giving people a mysterious sense of oppression;

In the soft light of the morning sun, the High Priest Adizok sat on the throne above the altar, looking down on the temples without saying a word, his dehaired face full of anger.

"Your Excellency, Grand Priest!"

The priest of the Storm Temple stood up from his seat, looked at the throne behind the altar, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the people in the thousand-year-old city are panicked, and folk rumors are spreading, we must take some measures to curb the negative news that the two Sun Kings died by thunder!"

"What do you say you should do?" the Grand Priest looked at him with a sinking face.

"Set up a new king as soon as possible!" and then create some celebratory signs to dilute the negative news about King Hequeser and King Thutmose. At the same time, find some crimes that are unacceptable to the people, but harmless, and press them on the heads of the two former kings...... Confirm their crimes, and save the foolish people from thinking nonsense. The Storm Sacrifice replied in a loud voice.

"You know my mind best. ”

The high priest's face was slightly pale, and his solemn expression eased down, and his eyes looked around:

"To tell you the truth, what needs to be done, I have already ordered the people of the royal court to do it. The throne will be inherited by the sons and daughters of Kings of Hegaser and Thutmose, and will be enthroned tomorrow at noon!

"Understood!"

"Yes. ”

"We'll make sure everything goes well. ”

The priests who were named agreed one after another, and the oppressive atmosphere in the temple suddenly disappeared.

"Your Excellency the Great Priest!"

Just when the priests finally came out of the haze and returned to their normal minds, a ghost crying wolf howled suddenly came from outside the hall. With the displeased gazes of the priests, a golden-armored warrior rushed into the Nexus Sanctuary and shouted in an almost broken voice:

"Two crown princes...... The two crown princes have just been struck by lightning, and they are all dead!"

"What!?"

High Priest Adizok abruptly stood up from his throne, stretched out his hand and swung out a cloud of black smoke, which spread like a long snake in front of the golden-armored warrior, instantly grabbed the man's neck and lifted him into the air:

"How did you take care of the crown prince!?"

At this moment, he looked like an angry lion, his facial muscles squirming and full of protruding green tendons.

"The oath of our subordinates has nothing to do with us...... cough cough cough ...... The crown princes were being taught about the coronation ceremony when suddenly lightning fell from the sky and slashed them to death next to the altar of the sun. The golden-armored warrior stiffly choked the black smoke from his neck and replied with difficulty.

"It's lightning again......"

The Great Priest's face was churning with blood and blood, and his eyes flashed, and he directly twisted the other party's neck: "I don't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world, someone must be deliberately setting up a situation! Deliberately trying to disturb the order of the Land of Light!"

"Lord Eddyzok...... Who can make a small move right under our noses in the Millennium City?"

The priest of the Earth Temple raised his head, looked at the furious Edizok, and said with some hesitation, "Unless...... His power is far greater than ours...... But whose strength can surpass the Great Priest?"

"If anything, it's only gods...... In other words, thunder is divine punishment. A trace of horror flashed in the eyes of the priest of the Yulu Temple, and he said timidly.

"This can't be! The power of the gods has long since weakened, and there is no power left to govern the Land of Light, and only we can contact the gods. When the Sun King was struck by lightning, we didn't receive an oracle, so how can we say it's divine punishment!?"

"Then what do you mean by that these two accidents were coincidences?" said the Moon God Priest with a sneer.

"Is it not a coincidence, is it divine punishment?" the Storm Priest immediately retorted.

"I think it's divine punishment, maybe there's a god we've ignored somewhere in a forgotten corner of the Land of Light. He discovers the Sun King's secrets and learns that they are not really children of the gods, so Thunder kills them. The moon priest flicked his fingernails and replied in a tone of course.

"Enough!"

The high priest walked to the altar with a gloomy expression, looked at the raging flames inside the altar, and said coldly: "No one is allowed to spread the news of the crown prince's thunderstorm, if I know that someone has leaked the news, I will tie him to the copper pillar and roast him alive!"

After saying this, his words changed sharply, and his tone became steady:

"For the rest, go ahead as usual...... I will go to the people to pick two crown princes and let them inherit the throne tomorrow. ”

"Is this appropriate?" the Moon God Priest looked at him hesitantly:

"Inside the palace, it's not that no one has seen the two crown princes, and now that they are dropping their bags, they may be easily exposed by the people. ”

"What's wrong?"

High Priest Edizok raised his head, without looking at her, and looked at the rising sun that had just risen in the distance: "As long as all the people in the court disappear and shut up forever, no one will know the true appearance of the crown prince, and no one will reveal the news." ”

"That's what the high priest said. The Moon God Priest smiled and lowered his head, no more talking.

"When you go back, send someone to investigate these two lightning strikes...... I always felt like someone was doing something. The High Priest's eyes stared at the rising sun, and his tone gradually deepened and hoarse:

"All in all, tomorrow's ceremony is a must-have!"
