The next day, the king again sent someone to invite Roddy into the palace. 【】

The carriage protected by the Royal Knights entered the palace directly, but it did not go directly to the hall where the king talked to Roddy every time, as he had done in the past.

In the middle of the palace, a carriage that looked a little smaller was changed, and the people of the Royal Knights who were guarding did not go with them, only two officers of the Royal Knights accompanied Roddy, and took advantage of the inconspicuous carriage to go out through the other side door of the palace and go directly to a high ground behind the royal capital.

The whole layout of the capital city of Sauron looks like an oval-shaped city, in the center of the city is the palace of King Sauron, and behind the palace, there is a high hill that is actually a low hillside.

I don't know why, when the royal capital city was built, the city wall had already included this highland, and a forest behind the highland naturally became a royal garden.

And the carriage in the palace came out, perhaps to hide people's eyes. Because Luo Di's convoy entered the palace with great fanfare, and no one would have thought that the dignified envoy of the Empire of Light would go out through another side door of the palace in an inconspicuous carriage without any guards.

And without any guards, this is also what the king meant: he already knew that Roddy was strong, and with those guards, it was at most a façade.

The carriage went directly to the royal garden behind the palace, the environment here is similar to the hunting ground that Luo Di has seen in the tulip family fiefdom, there are fences on the periphery to separate the garden, and there are small teams of cavalry patrolling back and forth, responsible for protecting the safety of the royal garden.

Roddy wanted to ask the two officers of the Royal Knights who had brought him with him, but those two people refused to say a word since they got into the car, and when Roddy asked any questions, the other party's answer was: "This is an order from His Majesty the King, and I am only ordered to ask the Earl to go." ”

Gradually, in the middle of the garden, there is a small open area, and a simple palace has been built in the middle. Four outposts protected the palace in the middle, and a pair of soldiers in the armor of the Royal Knights patrolled back and forth.

The carriage stopped here, and Roddy got out of the carriage with some doubts, and followed the two officers into the palace.

This palace is more of a big house than a palace.

Although it covers a large area, it is only three floors, and it is not as rough as other Sauron-style buildings, but has a somewhat delicate and delicate feeling.

However, as Roddy walked into the building, the interior still highlighted the standard Sauron-style architecture: Iron Will!

Metal candlesticks, black ironwood furniture, tables and chairs, the dark fireplace next to it, and the bright red carpet underfoot, this black and red city decoration all reflect a sense of "iron and blood".

And walking into this room, Roddy has already gone through three checks.

The two officers who led the way consciously did not follow, and the king was alone in the room sitting on a chair in front of the fireplace, with his back to Roddy.

"How's it going? It's not bad here, isn't it?How does it compare to the gardens of your family fiefdom?" said the king's voice from behind his chair.

Luo Di laughed secretly in his heart, this king is still trying to test his identity, otherwise, why would he say something like "family fiefdom"?

Luo Di deliberately smiled lightly: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, I am an earl, where do you have your own garden." However, the layout here is somewhat similar to the hunting ground of the Tulip family's fiefdom. ”

The king stood up, and Roddy noticed that His Majesty King Sauron was not wearing the elaborate robes of the past, but a military uniform! a golden inner armor was worn over his body, and a bright red cloak was draped behind his back.

The king stood there, holding a small dagger in his hand, and looked at Roddy with a smile on his face.

"Lord Roddy, do you know what I brought you here for today?"

Roddy shrugged: "Your Majesty doesn't want me to hunt with you, does you?" ”

The king laughed, but Roddy did not discern any pleasure in his laughter—on the contrary, the king seemed to be hiding his nervousness with laughter.

"Your Excellency Roddy!" the king's face became serious: "I want to show you the biggest secret of the Sauron royal family for hundreds of years today!

Roddy subconsciously frowned.

Hmph, what's this guy's idea?

I'm afraid there must be some reason to tell your secrets to others. Luo Di didn't believe that the other party would be willing to reveal his secret for no reason. God knows what this king wants from himself.

Roddy narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty, I hope you don't let me see anything too amazing - I'm not very daring." ”

The king whispered, "Are you very bold? ”

Luo Di smiled leisurely: "I'm not afraid of anything else. It's just that I know someone else's secret, and I have to bother to keep this secret, for fear that one will accidentally reveal it...... This kind of thing is really too troublesome. ”

The king laughed again. Then he walked to the fireplace, thrust the dagger in his hand into the mouth of one of the relief beasts on the wall, and twisted it.

A creeping sound came from behind the wall, and after a series of rattles, the wall above the fireplace slowly turned!

The entire wall slowly turned, revealing a dark space behind it. Behind a dark passage is a spiral of steps, all the way down......

Roddy was a little surprised: "This is ......"

The king smiled a little proudly: "Your Excellency Roddy, this is the biggest secret of the Sauron royal family for hundreds of years!

Luo Di took a deep breath, tried his best to hold back the curiosity in his heart, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you suddenly called me here and showed me such a scene, hehe, what do you mean......"

The king raised his hand and gently stroked the dagger inserted in the mouth of the relief beast, and did not answer Roddy's words, but suddenly asked back, "Roddy, do you know the history of the royal family of Sauron?"

Luo Di was stunned, and then said, "Your Majesty, is this a test for me? After all, the two big 6s are far apart, and because of the relationship between the two sides, there has been very little contact, and I really don't know much about the history of your country...... All I know is that the kingdom of Sauron is the most powerful of the kingdoms of Roland6. Your country owns half of the land of Roland 6, has the most powerful army of all Roland kingdoms, and ......" Speaking of this, Luo Di deliberately glanced at the king with his gaze.

The king sighed and said, "There are still ...... Sauron is also a kingdom that has always secretly dared to oppose the Temple, right?"

Roddy didn't speak, but the expression on his face was clearly acquiescence.

The king nodded, his fingers lightly cocking the dagger he was rubbing, and said in a deep voice, "What you said is good. The Kingdom of Sauron can be said to be the only force among the many kingdoms of Roland 6 that has the capital to compete with the temple...... For a long time, the 'Sages' sent by the Temple to the Kingdom of Sauron have not been able to fully gain authority, which is completely different from the 'Sages' sent by the Temple to other kingdoms, you must know that in other kingdoms, the authority of the Sages can even be above the king! Only in the land of Sauron, the supreme authority will always belong to the royal family! It can only belong to the royal family!!"

Speaking of this, the king seemed to be a little excited, but soon he sensed that his emotions were out of control, he took a deep breath, and according to the emotions in the heart of the Lord, the king slowly said another sentence: "This pattern is not only because the royal family of Sauron 'dares' to oppose the temple!!"

"Oh?" said Roddy.

The king's voice gradually deepened, and his tone was a little reminiscing: "In your opinion, the Empire of Light is undoubtedly the largest empire in the world at present! You own the entire Great 6, and the imperial power can be above everything in the empire! A powerful empire has the strength to proudly face any enemy who dares to challenge...... But did you know that the Empire of Light is not the only great empire that has appeared in this world! Once upon a time, there was also an ancient empire in this world!!"

According to the canons of the Cult of God, the origin of mankind comes from Roland6, and the canonical records of the Cult of God only begin with the countless small kingdoms of Roland6...... Hahahaha...... It's ridiculous!!" The king's eyes were like lightning, and there was a bit of anger and sorrow in his voice, he clenched his fists and whispered: "Hundreds of years before the era of the Divine Cult canon!

"Oh?" Roddy's eyes lit up. It was something he had never heard of before.

Whether it is the Great 6 of Light or the Great 6 of Roland, although the two Holy Sees are hostile to each other, the beginning of the canon is almost the same, and the record of history also begins from the "Dark Age" a thousand years ago.

In the earliest history of mankind recorded in the canons of the Divine Cult, it seems that at the beginning, Roland Da6 was composed of countless small kingdoms and tribal forces, and mankind was scattered and fought on its own. Then, after a long scuffle, the first great Pope, Moses, was born, leading humanity across the Thundering Strait and beginning the war to conquer the southern Bright 6 Kara people...... Then it was the humans who took over the Great 6 of Light and exterminated the Kara people. And the division within the Cult of God became two Holy Sees, the North and the South.

The Great 6 in the South and the North, both with countless small kingdoms, continue to be chaotic.

And just because of the emergence of a great emperor in the Empire of Light, the Abbasid Great, and the emergence of a group of invincible commanders of the Tulip family, and Danton, a guy who is good at creating miracles. In the end, the Bright Empire of the Southern Big 6 stood out, unified the Southern Big 6, and established a Great Empire - which is also the only huge empire recorded by Roddy that can own the entire Big 6 in history.

Could it be that the Empire of Light was not the first empire in the history of mankind??

The king gradually showed a somewhat miserable smile: "The canon of the Divine Cult, good! good!!" His tone was a little solemn: "In this world, how many evil things are carried out in the name of 'truth'!!"

Roddy was smart enough not to speak, and waited quietly. He knew that the king's story was far from finished.

The king's eyes were filled with a look of remembrance: "All the records of antiquity have been erased with the advent of the 'Dark Ages'. The canon of the Cult of God, a lie that almost distorts history! It can actually blind the whole world!!Lord Rodi, I tell you, in ancient times! On this big 6 at your feet, there was once a great empire! This empire had tens of millions of industrious subjects! It had a million valiant troops! It owned the whole of Roland6! All races, whether it was humans, or the now famous chameleon blood, or the legendary elves or dwarves, were all under the rule of that great empire! The name of that empire is 'Shaga Empire'!!"

"Shaga Empire?" the shock on Roddy's face was real. An unfamiliar name, but to be able to have the entire Big 6, no matter what, this name shouldn't be unfamiliar!

"Yes!" the king smiled lightly, "The place where you are standing now is the imperial capital of the Shaga Empire in ancient times......! Well, even a little longer ago...... This is the palace of the Shaga Empire!!"

A few thoughts flashed through Roddy's mind like lightning, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "So what does this have to do with the royal family of Sauron...... I see!"

The king nodded and said solemnly: "The royal family of Sauron is actually the only bloodline of the royal family of the Shaga Empire in ancient times!" He sighed: "No one has ever known this secret, even the temple, they think that the royal family of the Shaga Empire has long been extinct!

He raised his eyelids to look at Luo Di, and said slowly in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Luo Di, I have even told you this secret today, and I have regarded you as an ally that you can absolutely trust!

Roddy was indifferent - he knew that the king had told him all this big secret, obviously in order to win over himself and gain his trust - and the other party's quid pro quo was undoubtedly to make himself admit that he was the Duke of Tulip!

Seeing that Luo Di didn't speak, the king didn't care, but said slowly: "In Roland's ancient language, the meaning of the word 'Sauron' is to revive! The kingdom of Sauron, the mission of the royal family of Sauron, is to revive the great empire of our ancestors!"

The king's face was slightly distorted by excitement, and he seemed unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and the hand that held the dagger trembled slightly.

"Your Excellency Duke Tulip!" the king spoke slowly, he glanced at Roddy, and seeing that Roddy did not object to the title this time, he was satisfied, and continued: "Are you interested in going down with me to see the great relics of our Saga royal family, and the secrets of mankind left behind in ancient times?"

After speaking, he slowly stretched out his hand to make a movement on the steps behind the fireplace, and smiled softly: "Please!"
