Chapter 432: The Golden Soul, the Wrath of the Moon God
During the spread of the Wrath of the Moon God, it was proposed to abolish the 'Wrath of the Moon God' and change the religious system, but it was opposed.
Fifteen hundred years ago, believers from many countries and regions united against it and declared that the existence of the moon god was a virtue that should not be destroyed.
Eventually, the Kingdom of Egypt came to an agreement with the leaders of a number of countries - they agreed to ban the Wrath of the Moon God, but the doctrine of the Wrath of the Moon God could not be lost.
Over the years, as the doctrine has been perfected, so has the reverence for the 'Wrath of the Moon God'.
In modern times, this religion, which has been passed down to this day, is like a holy place, worshiped and embraced by thousands of people, and there are countless believers.
However, this mysterious religion has also left a stain on history.
At the end of the seventh century AD, the king of the Kingdom of Egypt and a group of nobles discovered that the goddess of the moon enshrined in the temple of the moon was not a true deity.
The figure of this mysterious goddess is far more than two meters tall.
She was much taller than normal, twenty or thirty meters tall, wearing heavy armor, a helmet on her head, and a sword at her waist.
The most striking thing is the eyes, which shimmer with scarlet light, full of madness and brutality.
Clad in metal armor like a legendary troll, she stood in the moonlight, exuding a suffocating intimidation.
At that time, a nobleman told the king that the wrath of the moon god had gone out of control and turned into a monster, and demanded that the idol be expelled.
The king of Egypt and his ministers discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to remove the idol.
As a result, the city was devastated that night.
Countless insects and ants crawled all over the idol, frantically gnawing and biting, devouring it completely.
The goddess of the moon turned into a dark fog and disappeared into the night.
Countless monsters, demons, and skeletons appeared in Egypt, attacking villages, towns, and cities, causing heavy casualties and deaths.
The Egyptians panicked and asked Heaven to send a messenger to save them.
An elderly Egyptian mage found a passage to the moon and led a small number of believers on a journey to the moon.
On the moon, they found the remains of the goddess of the moon and retrieved her bones.
However, on the morning of their departure, the moon suddenly broke apart and collapsed, turning into a meteorite and falling into the ocean, disappearing.
The Egyptians were overwhelmed with grief and indignation, hating their own insignificance and stupidity, and if they could be given another chance to choose, they would never dare to blaspheme!
Leon stared at the giant statue in the picture, and vaguely felt that this giant statue was somewhat familiar in his heart, but he didn't know where he had seen it.
"Maybe it's a coincidence."
He shook his head and looked away at the old man, "So, where did the giant's remains come from?" ”
"Soon after the moon shattered, we found the remains of the giant." The old man replied, "Because it has been too long, the remains have been seriously decayed and are not suitable for preservation, so they are placed in the museum." ”
"Museums?" Li Ang was slightly stunned.
"The person in charge of the museum told us that the bones of giants are hard and not easily damaged. Therefore, he asked the staff of the museum to cast a skeleton from a special material, inlay it with precious stones, and apply oil paint to create a new statue to commemorate and appease the people. ”
The old man continued: "Because of our Egyptians' love for ancient Greek culture, the Wrath of the Moon has been preserved forever to this day. ”
"I see."
Leon shook his head and examined the statue closely.
He finally understood why he felt familiar.
That giant statue is the gold ornament on the "crown of the ancient Roman Empire"!
Leon once saw a gold ring on the statue of Anutstagul, and that gold ring was exclusive to the royal family of the ancient Roman Empire!
A vague image came to his mind, an ancient Roman city, with many buildings standing in the forest outside it, and one of the tallest buildings was this golden statue!
"Romans, descendants of ancient Babylon?"
He whispered, continued to observe the structure of the sculpture, and muttered, "According to this structure, the material of the statue itself seems to be ...... Gold, silver and bronze? ”
"That's right," the old man nodded, "Gold, silver, and bronze were all the main alchemy materials in the ancient Babylonian period, used to forge weapons and armor, and used to build houses.
Unfortunately, with the progress of science and technology, gold, silver and copper have gradually withdrawn from the metallurgical industry and have been widely used in other industries. ”
"It's ...... The style of ancient Babylon, ah......"
Leon touched the tip of his nose and looked up at the sculpture's chest.
There, inlaid with a crystal ball of yellow clarity.
The surface of the crystal ball is covered with strange patterns, wriggling and twisting like a living thing, containing a certain inexplicable charm.
Li Ang looked closer for a few seconds, and suddenly his pupils shrank, revealing a shocked expression.
"This thing...... Not ordinary crystals. ”
Li Ang said in a deep voice: "It's ......"
"This is that legendary piece of equipment, [Golden Soul], carved by the hands of a pharaoh named Akmund Vladimir, the crown prince of the ancient Roman Empire."
The old man's indifferent tone resounded in Leon's ears, "When you see it, you can remember the history of ancient Babylon."
I've heard a passage.
The ancient Babylonians believed that only by collecting the seven jewels could they open the doors of the Golden Palace and obtain the Golden Throne. ”
"The Golden Throne?" Leon asked, "What is this for?" ”
The old man shook his head and explained, "It is said that the Golden Throne symbolizes the glory of Egypt, the ruler of power, wealth and wisdom.
The owner of the Golden Throne needs to sit on the Golden Throne in order to call on the country and command the soldiers.
However, the Golden Throne was not fixed and could be touched by every Egyptian.
The successive kings of the Egyptian dynasty had the opportunity to sit on their thrones and overlook the land of Egypt.
If anyone can ascend to the throne, it will prove that he has the only right to rule all of Egypt in the eyes of the Egyptians! ”
"This ......"
The corners of Li Ang's mouth twitched, "Is it so exaggerated?" ”
The old man nodded seriously, "Of course, the legend of the Golden Throne, which is widely circulated, is a sacred relic that we Egyptians believe in and pursue. ”
After a pause, he continued: "In our Egyptian realm, there have been many Egyptians who have tried to control the Golden Throne.
But they couldn't even touch the throne, let alone get it.
Even if he can ascend to the golden throne, he will not be able to command the Egyptians in the whole country, and he can only become puppets.
However, every dynasty in Egypt's history has not declined, relying on the power of the Golden Throne on the one hand, and the wealth accumulated by each dynasty on the other, to keep the dynasty running and prospering. ”
"I see......"
Li Ang was thoughtful, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said curiously: "Since you all know about the Golden Throne, why do you still hold the ceremony of 'sacrificing the Moon Goddess'?"
