Chapter 604: A Gaze from the Gods
Augusta, a somewhat distraught, was still sleepy, and walked out of the room to another remote corner of the palace, which had been a cold palace for erring concubines. However, it was completely abolished after Augusta's father, and now another special guest lives here.
Without saying a word, the two elite guards in full armor guarding the doorway opened the door, and when Augusta entered the small palace, the two stood back like stone statues.
The four healthy women who were waiting here in the dormitory of the palace immediately saluted and retreated when they saw Augusta, Augusta walked straight over and saw the elf girl sitting on the bed like a frightened bird, and saw the Augusta girl as if she had seen a nightmare and a monster, her young body held the futon and kept retreating, but she seemed to realize that she had no room to retreat here, and the only thing the girl could do now was to bury her head without saying a word.
"Did she say anything?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, this kid still hasn't said anything today, His Excellency Leonas has also come to ask before, but there is still no answer. β
The weapons factory in the secret valley in the territory of the Carl Sulmen Empire was completely destroyed, and the reason was that the little girl named Aisha in front of her, a powerful black dragon~ No! Strictly speaking, two black dragons broke into the valley and wreaked havoc, with the aim of taking this girl away. Eventually, a half-elf mage hired by the Empire to engage Tenaya with the Black Dragon, froze the valley into an ice cellar with an unknown spell cast by one of the Black Dragons, Tenaya.
Everything in the valley was destroyed, and the arsenal that had invested the dividends and reparations from the war with the Kingdom of Kreses was reduced to ruins in an instant, and all the funds were lost. Although there is a backup of the information that Tena has parsed out in the Imperial Secret Bureau, it is impossible to resume production in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Augusta couldn't help but be angry and wanted to kill people to vent his hatred, but compared to the loss of money, the most terrible thing was probably the battle with the black dragon that attracted the attention of the gods above the sky!
Jinni!
What a contradictory word. Those who believe in it mean unparalleled terrifying power to it, and those who don't mean it just a ridiculous hoax to it. Augusta was not a devout believer, even if he intended to be baptized as the Pope's son. In his own opinion, the overlord Garselik once pulled the god down from the altar, slaughtered its followers, burned its temple, and almost trampled the god into the mud, but the god did not punish the overlord Garselik, but in the end the overlord's empire was destroyed in the hands of mortals. The gods also don't seem to be as powerful as they seem. If the god is really omnipotent, then how could he allow the existence of the overlord Garseric, and if it is really powerful, why would it allow the existence of the demon who is its enemy!
Or in other words, do gods really exist? Are the stories written in the so-called miracle city scriptures and holy scriptures true? Or are they just fairy tales written by ordinary mortals? In other words, the ββ gods are actually just more powerful creatures, just like the legendary dragons and titans~
Once Augusta had doubts, but it was impossible for Leonas as his confidant to speak falsely, and the feather he brought back from the angel was indeed a being that did not belong to this world, and the gods did exist, and he never let go of his attention to the earthly mortals.
"What the hell do you know. Why are those black dragons looking for you?" asked Augusta, who suddenly looked at Elsa.
ββββββ
For this question, Elsa just blindly lowered her head and did not say a word, in fact, why it became the way it is now, even Elsa is not clear, although it was often teased like a doll in the hands of Tenaya, but as a half-elf female mage, Elsa gave Elsa more freedom, and even learned magic, which Elsa did not dare to hope for, Tenaya agreed. And the maids around Tenaya also have a good attitude, at least they don't just treat themselves as a cargo or a pet as they do now. In Elsa's opinion, staying by Tenaya's side, whether it takes decades or centuries, at least has a chance to be free.
But now all hope is gone.
Why the dragon was catching herself, Aisha didn't understand at all, she was just an ordinary little girl. And his own clan is even more unlikely to be involved with the legendary dragon, why should he catch himself at all costs. I really don't knowββ
Elsa didn't answer Augusta and couldn't do anything, Leonas, who had returned with Elsa earlier, explained the situation, and the mage had also used psychic magic on Elsa, but the elf girl, who was completely unaware, couldn't provide any useful information at all.
"Take care of this child, don't let her have any accidents, understand?"
Augusta is also at a loss at the moment, and has always been the Empire of Carl Cermen as a country that split from the Pellath Empire established by the former overlord Garseric. After witnessing two thousand years of turmoil on the continent, he has always longed to restore the order of the overlord era.
However, it seems that the Overlord did not establish the Pelas Empire by himself, and many important materials and documents have been circulated in the confidential library of the Karlsemon Empire, indicating that the Overlord had been assisted by some mysterious power in the Arnold Mountains, and Augusta was as suspicious of this rumor as he was of the gods, but after going to the Kingdom of Karut to buy Aisha from the mercenary king of the Free City. The other party brought the news that Augusta had to re-judge whether the rumors of the overlord were true or false.
Faroen, the archmage of the Tower of the Sage, traveled to the Arnod Mountains with three covenanting relics that had been handed down from the Overlord era!
The so-called three Contracting Relics are proof of the rumored pact between the Overlord Garseric and a transcendent being, and these three things were scattered after the collapse of the Perras Empire, among which the Sage Tower holds an ornament, the Kingdom of Kreses holds the Treaty Instrument, and the Karlsholmon Empire has a dragon scale.
The Archmage of the Tower of the Philosophers took one of the relics to the Arnold Mountains, and it was at the height of the reform within the Tower of the Philosopher. This really makes one wonder about Farron's intentions.
If the legend is true, the overlord Garserick really made a pact with some unknown power to unify the entire continent with its power, then can the Karl Sermon Empire, which inherited the legacy of the Perras Empire, also make a pact with it?
But now it's too late, the gods have noticed the Carl Cermen Empire, after the end of the Overlord Era, both the Holy Capital and the Holy See in the East and West of the Continent have always regarded the Overlord Garseric as a taboo topic, and Carl Cermen secretly analyzed the technology of the Overlord Era and produced Demon Knights. This kind of war machine, which once swept through almost the entire rebel army two thousand years ago, the ambition of the Carl Soulman Empire, its own ambition can be said to be almost completely exposed.
Thinking of this, Augusta couldn't help but clench his fists, although he hadn't gotten the news yet, but he could imagine how the Holy See would react when he learned about it! Even though the Carl Cermen Empire has now truly become the strongest country in the eastern part of the continent, but the Holy See, which was originally a behemoth beyond the secular kingdom, is now even more upper, and there is the support of the real gods behind the Holy See, where will his own fate and the fate of the entire empire go because of this disaster!
For a while, Augusta couldn't help but be confused. His Royal Highness the Prince, who was originally wise and always able to see through everything, didn't know what his next move should be.
ββββββββββββββ
Confusedββ
In the heavenly realm, the goddess Ishtar was observing the grains of sand in a mortal world in her kingdom of gods, and the goddess sitting quietly on the edge of the pool looked at the confused figure in the pool, Augusta Branis, the prince of the Continent of the Sulmen Empire!
With a smile on her holy face, the goddess's white jade-like fingers swept across the clear water, and Augusta in the reflection after a wave of water suddenly turned into a child, and the intermittent Augusta showed everything he had experienced since birth without reservation, starting from the son of the king's favored concubine to advance step by step, knocking down all the obstacles to the point of elevating his father. A young man in his twenties became the uncrowned king of an empire.
"My God~ For Augusta's blasphemy with the Carl Sulmon Empire over the years, allow me to give him a severe punishment. β
On one side, a tall angel is gazing at Augusta in the shadow. The five pairs of wings like streamers emitted a scorching and powerful aura, and the body of the airtight golden armor that was more than two meters tall made it as majestic as a mountain that could never be crossed, and the eyes that seemed to be burning with fire carried a warm anger.
Ishtar waved his hand slightly, and his pink lips whispered, "Do you think it's blasphemy?"
"To dare to question the existence of the gods, to try to restore the kingdom of those who once blasphemed the gods, to foolishly grasp a power that they cannot understand, and to try to start a new war in the world again, must be severely punished!" said the angel in stern terms.
"Hehe~ Although he is ambitious, although he is a little bold. The ability that has been shown over the years is truly unquestionableββ"
chuckled and Ishtar looked a little indifferent: "As an emperor, if you don't even have a little **, then you will also fail." There is a saying among mortals that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a king who does not want to make a distinction and just wants to be content with the status quo is never a good king. β
"My God, will you forgive the deeds of this bold man?"
With a flick of his hand, the image in the pool changed again: "Those who make mistakes will naturally be punished, but the punishment will not be just by giving pain. In fact, after all, the Perras Empire more than 2,000 years ago was actually the era I longed for, an era of complete unification. β
"The Age of Unityββ" the angel muttered to himself.
"It's just that the former Garseric was born too early, and he also found the wrong person to rely on, otherwise the former Perras Empire should have become the most glorious eraββ"
There was a hint of inexplicable regret in the goddess's tone: "It's been more than two thousand years, this continent has been divided for more than two years, and the arrival of a new son of the stars will usher in a new sublimation for me, and this divided continent may also usher in a new 'emperor'."
