Chapter 57: The Duel
This is the end of the story in the mural. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Not to mention Ling Zifeng, he was very puzzled why there was a creature like a god in this plane. Not to mention the depictions on the murals, which are obviously some kind of ultra-high-tech civilization.
Just talking about the appearance of the Tower of Babel on the mural puzzled him.
It turns out that the Tower of Babel on the mural is just a small tower built on a high mountain cliff. That's right, it's just small.
When Ling Zifeng saw this, he also asked Mo Sandi, and Mo Sandi confirmed with an innocent face that this was the Tower of Babel. How dare such a small tower be called "Tongtian"?
However, the next mural immediately solved his doubts and immediately brought him even more doubts.
Because the mural shows that there is a special place at the top of the Tower of Babel, this place is built with a special device, and from the mural it looks a bit like a door with only a door frame, standing abruptly in the air.
The door is rounded, and the frame seems to be carved with dense symbols.
The mural then depicts a human entering the door, a ray of light rising into the sky, and the next mural is in the ethereal kingdom of God, the Garden of Eden.
Ling Zifeng's heart was shocked, "Isn't this a portal?!" β
His doubts grew more and more, and he gradually had some thoughts about the strangeness of this plane. An assassin beauty who did not appear in the original story, as well as her historic family background.
During the storm at Hot Springs, he had also felt the obvious fluctuations in magic. There are also floating stones and ancient myths that can now be seen in the city of Babylon. This is also the mural that is clearly a "portalγγγγγγ
All of this proves that this plane is definitely not simple.
His current luck value is 45%, and as long as it exceeds 50%, he can occupy the plane and return to the main god space. According to the Lord God of Time, the occupied plane can return again at any time.
He secretly made up his mind that when his strength increased, he must come back here to find out.
Of course, he must first be able to fly, or repair the damaged hanging garden, because the cliff north of the city is indeed not something that can be climbed by human beings.
However, these things need to be considered later.
What he needs to think about now is how to increase his luck by another 5%. There is also the question of how to fool Mo Sandi into entering the world of reincarnation.
The former problem can be solved sooner or later with the passage of time, and the latter problem Ling Zifeng has a bit of a headache. The beauty in front of him was so close to him that she couldn't see if she could be "abducted" by him.
After seeing the mural, the two left the library and walked straight through the corridor to the palace hall. The hall was packed with people, and they were discussing what was noisy.
When Prince Ganesa saw them coming, he said, "It just so happens that sister, you are also here, and we just happened to discuss whether to announce the restoration of the country to the outside world. After all, we have recaptured the capital, and I want to hear your opinions. β
Mosandi shook her way to show that she had no opinion, and everything was as Ganesa claimed.
Ling Zifeng asked with some interest: "What are the mainstream opinions now?" β
The prince looked left and right and said, "Now it is roughly divided into two factions, one faction believes that the restoration of the country should be announced immediately, and quickly send troops to recover the lost territory in the northwest. β
"On the other hand, it is too early to deal with the Persian counteroffensive that will come sooner or later."
After the prince finished speaking, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Ling Zifeng, waiting for him to reply.
Ling Zifeng thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said to everyone: "The Chinese have an old saying: build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king. It means that we must first stabilize our strength and then seek more benefits, and I agree with the second opinion. β
The prince said appreciatively: "Mr. Ling's words have won my heart, our strength is not stable now, and it is not suitable to be too ostentatious." β
With that, he looked at the people around him and raised his voice and announced: "I have decided to postpone the announcement of the restoration of the country, and all the soldiers will start preparing for the Persian counterattack. β
"Obey~"
The prince continued: "As for the reconquest, there is no need to put it on hold. I think that the 50,000 people who surrendered can accomplish this, and it happens that this is the place where the state promised to them is established. β
Hearing this unusually risky decision, Elder Seth opened his mouth to dissuade the prince: "These surrenderers, will they go back on their word. His Highness is afraid that it will be too risky to do this. β
Ling Zifeng shook his head and smiled: "Let me answer this doubt for the prince." β
"These surrenderers themselves do not belong to any party, and there is a real possibility that they will rebel. However, I believe that the interests are the key to these people's considerations, and they will definitely join the winner's side. β
Indeed, if these people were to establish a state, they would have waited and seen the form.
They will then choose to fall to the side of the winner.
Therefore, as long as Babylon can win the Persian Empire on a frontal battlefield in the future, the people of these subjects will naturally not have any more dissent.
When the deliberations were finished, everyone went about their own business. Ling Zifeng was invited by Mo Sandi to temporarily live in the concierge room of the palace.
After a few days of nothing, Ling Zifeng also asked the story of Mo Sandi's golden ball again in his free time.
According to her, the golden orb came from the Babylonian royal lineage. Some even believe that it is the "fruit of wisdom" stolen from the Garden of Eden, but neither Mosandi nor Prince Ganesa share this view.
They felt that this little golden ball was just some kind of creation of the ancient Babylonian ancestors. It can activate the broken hanging garden, or it can release the same shield as the floating stone with a limited release, and that's it.
However, Ling Zifeng firmly believed that there must be other unknown secrets in this golden ball. However, these things were not something he could figure out now, so he left it behind.
In the days that followed, Ling Zifeng soaked in the "library" to study the murals whenever he had time, and he wanted to see if there was any information that he had left out.
The rest of the time, he continued to practice martial arts and mana. Mo Sandi was by his side almost every day, and the two would learn from each other from time to time.
After several battles, Ling Zifeng was surprised to find that Mo Sandi's strength was much higher than he imagined.
Her dexterous and bizarre assassination methods, combined with her incredible speed, have formed an extremely terrifying combat technique. Ling Zifeng didn't even hold the weapon several times, and was bullied by Mo Sandi to put a dagger against his neck.
If he didn't use magic and martial arts, his battle with Mo Sandi would actually be more than one win or loser. However, if he used magic, Mo Sandi's small golden ball could completely block the magic effect.
In short, Mo Sandi is definitely a qualified candidate for the reincarnation team, which also makes Ling Zi more and more determined to "abduct" her.
The two "fought" while "cultivating feelings", and time passed day by day, and months passed in a blink of an eye.
Two months after the recovery of Babylon, the nobles began to leave, and they felt that the Persians could not raise a large number of troops to counterattack for a while, so they returned to their fiefdoms.
The prince of Ganesha also felt that the battle for the throne of Persia would not be certain for a while, so he also divided half of his men to recover the other territories that had not yet been occupied.
Before everyone left, Ling Zifeng couldn't help but think of the problem that his luck value had not yet reached the standard.
There are many reasons for this, the most important of which is that the Babylonian state is not yet stable, and it seems that the Persian counterattack will come sooner or later.
