Chapter 304: The Sleep of the Heroic Soul
"How about we, let's sneak into the East Palace without Alyssa's secret!" Phoenix whispered. After several arguments with Elisa, she found that she could not get along with each other at all, and that in her opinion, the precepts of the church and the virtues of knighthood were meaningless things, but Alyssa made them all her course of action.
After the attack on the church headquarters, Phoenix did repent, but that was only in her attitude towards the church, and she let go of her old grudges with the church, but that didn't mean she could have compassion for the human race.
This is the most different point of ancient monsters and even ancestor-level monsters from humans.
From the moment they were born, they were at the top of the food chain, and they never needed to unite against foreign enemies, let alone understand human solidarity and society. Mercy was limited to the friends she knew, and to everyone else, whether he was a Theopharian, a pauper, or a nobleman of the imperial capital, it was the same for Phoenix.
It's like before the two worlds overlapped, she would never repent of burning a weak monster with her blazing flames. Alyssa, on the other hand, tries to instill in her emotions such as sympathy, pity, and affection.
"Well done Phoenix, this discovery is very crucial!" Lin Qiu spoke highly of Phoenix's discovery, and then in Phoenix's smug gaze, he changed his words and said: "But you have to stay here with Alyssa, the task of finding those instruments will be handed over to you, and you must first learn to cooperate with humans...... Give me the map, I'll go to Goeben first. β
"Hey, how can you do that to me?" Phoenix grumbled dissatisfied.
"It's crucial for you, you have to learn how to get along with teammates on the team who don't agree with you!"
With that, Lin Qiu put the map into the inner pocket of his clothes, he didn't even take the stairs, he propped himself on the eaves of the window and jumped down from the half-open window. This series of movements was extremely smooth, as if he had been rehearsed many times in his mind, Phoenix was stunned for a while, and when she wanted to catch up, she found that Lin Qiu's figure had disappeared under the attic.
"Farewell!"
Lin Qiu's voice seemed to echo in her ears when she jumped down.
Hey!
I knew she would have memorized the map!
Phoenix fluttered her wings and circled around the roof of the royal city, and the similarly constructed attic suddenly stunned her, and she had to give up the idea of chasing after the East Palace, and slipped back to her room in annoyance.
......
On the other side, the East Palace, the lower floor.
After tiptoeing into the East Palace, King Brydon finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The layout of the East Palace is modeled after the ancient imperial palace, and after leading their elders to die with Urusos, Theopharan later built it in their honor. It was a nominal palace, but it was also the resting place of the elders, and the moment he entered, King Bryden felt the solemn atmosphere that greeted him.
The hall was flanked by lifelike stone statues, each of which was a hero who had made a great contribution to Theopheran, including Brydon's ancestor, who felt the patriarch on either side scrutinizing him with stern gaze with every step he took.
"Ancestors, please bless us!"
King Brydon bowed his head and reverently meditated.
The East Palace was the only place for Theopharan, and even King Brydon himself hadn't been there a few times, so it was outside the range of the guards, so he didn't have to worry about being chased by the soldiers. Theopharan is at stake, and Brydon wants his ancestors to see what is happening to Theopharan and protect it as they have done in the past.
"The black abyss is down there. Walking past a row of stone statues, Brydon stopped.
The short distance he had just passed through was called the Sleep of the Heroic Soul by the royal family of Theopheran, and legend has it that every king would be scrutinized and baptized by his ancestors when he passed through it, and if he violated the way of kings, he would suffer the wrath of his ancestors.
Eric didn't say anything all the way.
The path to the black abyss was far from what he had imagined, he didn't know where the awe-inspiring in his heart came from, and every time he took a step forward, the more he felt a wave of energy. Suddenly, as if he understood something, he picked up the pendant on his chest, and the slightly hot energy was constantly emanating from the crystal, and the dim amethyst revealed a faint halo.
"It's ......," King Brydon was a little surprised.
This is the emblem of every leader of the Musa consortium. β
According to the brief history of the foundation, this pendant was handed down from the first head of the family. However, due to the special structure of the Musa Consortium, in addition to the Musa family, there are many once famous nobles, and not every leader is a descendant of the Musa family.
Most people see it as a symbol of leadership, but other than that, it's just a slightly expensive amethyst that has faded over the centuries.
A low roar ensued, and from the first statue, a moonlight-like silvery-white light slanted down from the high dome, illuminating each statue, and for a moment King Bryden had the illusion that his ancestors had been resurrected. He had never seen or even heard of such a spectacle.
The silver-white moonlight gradually converged to a point, and at the same time, the pendant in Eric's hand, under the guidance of the "moonlight", burst out into a pillar of light that rose to the unique shape of the dome, and the latter slowly turned in a circle, and then projected the pillar of light to the ground.
Then the silvery-white light faded, leaving behind a transparent human figure.
The humanoid form has a long twisted beard, and it does not look like a native of the imperial capital, but it is very different from the Theopharians. However, the silver-white figure startled King Brydon to take a step back, and he looked like he had seen a ghost, muttering "impossible" several times.
A statue was erected in his place at the Sleep of the Immortal, and his name is still remembered by Theopharan's people even after centuries.
Causom-Azouk.
A legendary figure of the same era as the original king Azi-Tris, after the victory of the First Demon Tide War, he was invited by King Teres to settle his family in the imperial capital. Of course, in the eyes of the Henrys, they were rivals, and their hatred of them was the same as their hatred of the Henrys.
But everyone knows that with the failure of the coup d'Γ©tat, the patriarch of Caucauso was executed by Henry I in the imperial capital, and the Theopharans built his statue to the forefront after establishing the new kingdom of Theopharan in his honor.
None of the corpses of the Patriarch of Causo were buried underground, so why was there a projection of him here?
After a long time, the brilliance dissipated, and the silver-white figure finally slowly opened its eyes.
