Chapter 245: Murals

"Here ......"

"Here, this is the truth of history!" the king's voice carried a bit of vicissitudes. 【】

Behind the stone gate, there is a space with a radius of about a few tens of feet. The walls are dotted with gemstones, emitting a soft glow driven by magic. And on that wall, there is a mural of brilliant lights!

The top of the entire space is in the shape of a round arch, and in the center of the top of his head is a six-pointed star magic array, and Luo Di can clearly feel the soft magic fluctuations coming from the magic array. And what surprised Roddy even more was that the floor of this room was ...... It's like a pool-like space. From the first step into the stone gate, as far as the eye could see, the silver light on the ground flashed, and the water waves were calm...... The ground here is filled with mercury!!

And just in the middle, there was an old-fashioned pontoon, which seemed to float on mercury.

As the king and Roddy stepped onto the old-fashioned pontoon, the mercury liquid on both sides of the pontoon fluctuated faintly, and Roddy could clearly feel that the ground under his feet was a little floating, obviously these old-fashioned boards were suspended on the mercury in an unknown way.

Standing on top of a stone pontoon, there is no direct access to the murals on the surrounding walls. However, the patterns on the mural can still be clearly seen.

The king sighed, "Roddy, you can see these frescoes clearly. You only have an hour at most! This place has been maintained by the magic array for a thousand years! It can only be opened for an hour every day, and when the time comes, we must go out so as not to destroy the magic array!"

Roddy didn't seem to pay attention to the king's words, and his full attention was already focused on the first fresco after entering the door......

The pattern on the first mural seems to be very simple, and in terms of carving skills, it is also relatively simple, and it seems to be the most old. The pattern on the ground shows an image that intrigues Roddy:

At the bottom of the picture are a group of humans, both men and women, dressed in different costumes, their faces full of reverence and reverence, as if they were looking up at the white building above the picture as if they were worshipping. The building was simply set in the background, and it looked like a tall building full of divine aura, and on top of the tall building, there was a person!

The man was dressed in a white robe, his face was naturally unclear, and his hands were outstretched, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world in his arms. There is only one long fluttering, which looks quite imposing!

"What is this? Is it a god that those people worship? Is that person standing on top of the building a god?" asked Roddy in a low voice, frowning.

"No!" the king sighed, "the one who is worshipped is not a god!"

"Oh?" said Roddy, surprised.

Then the king whispered in a sigh: "The one who is worshipped is the founder of the Shaga Empire, the first emperor of the empire, Julian!"

The king's voice slowly echoed in the space: "This first mural tells the story of the founding of the Shaga Empire! This is the first day of the Empire, when my ancestor, Julian, was speaking to the people!

"What did he say?"

The king smiled bitterly: "What he said is that mankind should be a united world! And every man should be free from birth, and our souls should not be imprisoned by any shackles! In this world, human beings should have independent personalities and souls...... And not the slaves of the servants of the gods!"

Roddy's mouth opened wide, as if taken aback. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Now I kind of understand why the Shaga Empire fell...... The first emperor of the kingdom for you uttered such blasphemous words......"

His gaze turned to the second mural.

On this mural, there is a huge room. The whole room takes on a circular theater-like shape, and many people with different expressions sit on the dense round seats around it, and these people are dressed beautifully and luxuriously, and some are simple and simple. It's just that everyone's expression is the same sacred and solemn. And in the middle, surrounded by the surrounding seats, was a small high platform, on which stood a man in a white robe, who had an elegant expression and held a scepter high in his hand.

To Roddy's surprise, there was still a line of text left at the bottom of the mural......

"What does that mean?" said Roddy, frowning.

The king narrowed his eyes and said slowly in a deep voice: "The affairs of mankind should be decided by humans themselves!"

Looking at Luo Di's somewhat surprised gaze, the king smiled and explained: "Actually, this mural mainly records a very important historical event in the Shaga Empire - the formation of the 'Council of Parliament'! The 'Council of Parliament' is a special political system of the Shaga Empire! In the Council of Shagas, the emperor is not the only dictator! The Council is the representative of the people, whether it is a nobleman, a commoner, or a knight, any class has its own representative to participate in the Council!" The man in the middle of the picture is the then Emperor of the Shaga Empire, who is listening to the opinions of representatives of various classes and then making some decisions based on their opinions. “

Roddy let out a long breath and sighed, "This is really a strange political system!"

The king said lightly: "It is not surprising at all! The founder of the Shaga Empire said that freedom and rights belong to all. The emperor is not a dictator, but a guide!"

Luo Di glanced at the king deeply, and then said solemnly in a serious tone: "I express my highest respect to Your Majesty's ancestors!"

Unexpectedly, the king did not feel the slightest smugness, but his expression was a little sad, he just shook his head, and did not react to Roddy's words.

The two of them then looked down.

The third and fourth murals record some of the history of the Shaga Empire, and there is nothing peculiar about it. The only thing that shocked Roddy was that the Shaga Empire, which existed in ancient times, was really an existence that made Roddy very fascinated...... And strangely, these murals don't mention anything about the existence of the Cult of God - was there no Cult of God in this world at that time?

The style of the fifth mural has completely changed!

The first four murals are in a style full of harmony and peace, or with a sense of exuberance, which is in keeping with the free and egalitarian environment of the Shaga Empire.

And the fifth mural, the style of painting has changed dramatically!

On the screen, there is a row of gallows!!The gallows of men in black robes are hanged there...... And at their feet, there are some corpses that have already died!

Some of the surrounding onlookers were clearly civilians, and their faces looked as if they were cheering.

What surprised Roddy even more was that he was very familiar with the clothes of those hanged people!!

The people in black robes who were hanged on the gallows were clearly dressed as members of the Cult!!

Hell! Roddy was shocked in his heart! The people of the Cult of God were actually hanged in public??

In the current era in which Luo Di lives, the Cult of God is almost the most sacred authority, and only the Cult of God hangs others, and people in this world who have never heard of the Cult of God are hanged in large numbers!

Underneath the mural, there is still a line of text!

This time, the king did not wait for Roddy to ask, but had already read the line out first:

"Humanity does not need the shackles of the soul! anyone who tries to put shackles on our souls will be ready to be punished by death!"

Roddy listened to the king's words, and the shock in his heart could not be expressed in words!

From the picture and below, it is clear that the Shaga Empire is opposed to the existence of the Cult! It can even be said that they regard the theology of the Cult as a heretical and evil religion......

In other words, the Shaga Empire is simply an empire that does not believe in gods!

"Shocked?" the king smiled wryly, looked at Roddy and whispered, "Frankly, when I first came here and saw these things, I was also shocked!"

Luo Di took a deep breath, and then spit out heavily, his face still a little strange: "In the era of the Shaga Empire, the Divine Cult was the target of suppression, right?"

"Yes!" the king whispered, "My ancestors believed that human beings were born free, and that our spirits and souls should not be imprisoned by the so-called gods! Although the gods are such high beings, they have no right to interfere with our world! Therefore, ......" The king glanced at the mural: "In the era of the Shaga Empire, the cult of gods was declared illegal and banned by the decrees of the empire! All the gods were hanged ......"

Roddy was silent for a moment, and suddenly he smiled!

His smile was a little malicious, and he muttered in a low voice, "What a beautiful time it was!"

"Oh, is this what you're asking for?" the crown prince looked at the smiling Nidis in front of him and frowned, "Miss Nidis, you're really going to make trouble for me." ”

Nitis still smiling so charmingly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this matter is just as easy as a finger for you, would you refuse a friend's request for help?"

Nidis sighed, "Your Majesty, you know that too. I have a lot of business in Roland 6, but the current situation of Roland 6 really makes me feel at ease...... In the event of a war, we powerless businessmen will be the first to be unlucky...... That's why I was forced to make such a move. I came this time to clean up the business of Roland 6 and temporarily return it to the Bright Empire, but I don't have the ability to transport back so many goods and property myself. Besides, now that the king has decreed a ban on the sea, my fleet will not be able to go to sea...... It just so happens that you are the commander-in-chief of the navy, so if I don't ask you for this, who else can I ask for?"

Arwen still frowned: "However, since it is an order from His Majesty, I can't disobey it!Miss Nidis, you are transporting your property back to the Empire of Light, such a move...... Hum. ”

"Your Highness!" Nice's face was a little unhappy: "Do you doubt my friendship with you? Although my business in Roland 6 is not large, the tax I pay every year is never less than a gold coin!

"Okay!" Arvin hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed, and said slowly, "I guess you'll get the news soon." We have reached a peace agreement with your country, and a large number of warships will be transported to the Empire of Light in the near future, and there will be naval escorts at that time...... I can help you with a small favor, and when the time comes, you will transport your possessions to my fleet and arrive in the Empire of Light without a hitch...... Miss Nice, I'm helping you do this for the sake of our many years of friendship!"

Niceh smiled with satisfaction, and then immediately said: "Thank you for your generosity! In addition, I know that your country is preparing budget funds for the war because of the recent situation, and I am willing to donate 500,000 gold coins to your country as a personal friend! Please accept a small gift from my friend!"

Arvin glanced at Nidis, and suddenly said, "500,000 gold coins?" hehe...... Miss Nice, I'm starting to wonder how much property you have in Roland 6......"

Nidith smiled and didn't answer.

The crown prince immediately shook his head and smiled: "Okay! Since I promised something, I will never break my promise! Miss Nidis, we haven't seen each other for a long time! Please stay in the royal capital for a few more days these days, and let me do my duty as a master...... Well, and this Mr. Dark, I heard that Miss Nidith said that you are a master of archery, and I must ask you more for advice!"

Nitis and Darkk glanced at each other, and Nydith immediately smiled, "Of course, Your Highness Alvin, I won't be here for a few more days, and I don't want to go back right now anyway." ”

"Oh?" said Arwen smiled.

"yes!" Nitis pretended to sigh, and then said loudly in a joking tone, "Don't you know that I'm being hunted down by the enemy in Guangming 6...... Now I don't dare to go back right now. ”

Arvin only thought she was joking, just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Dark, on the other hand, glanced at Nitis with a bit of helplessness in his eyes - only he and Nydine knew in their hearts that this was no joke.

Because of Nitsh's identity, the blood clan of Bright Big 6 is secretly chasing Nitsh, and this time I came to Roland Big 6, on the one hand, to accompany Nice to deal with some business matters, and on the other hand, to avoid the blood clan!
