Chapter 127: Ancient Relic (6K)

On Monday, the streets of Vienna in the Holy Roman Empire gradually began to come alive.

Merchants who come early in the morning to sell fresh produce and vegetables, steam wagons from afar, and drunkards who have just finished a drunken night and are ready to go home make up the daily scenery of the streets of Vienna.

Occasionally, a few candidates with painting tools on their backs are hurrying and trotting, ready to find a good place to depict the sunrise over Vienna.

It seems like it's just an ordinary day in the art capital of Vienna.

Until, some newsboys took out their loudest voices and shouted out what may be the most sensational and crazy news after the confrontation between the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire.

"Extra, extra, Her Majesty Empress Margaret of the Holy Roman Empire personally announced, unanimously approved by all the electors, that the first crown prince of the empire, Ludwig, has obtained the first succession to the throne of the empire!"

"Today, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ludwig will appear in Vienna for the first time."

"Louis, Duke of France, William, Duke of Germany, Karl, Duke of Austria...... The Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, led by them, have declared that the succession of Crown Prince Ludwig is valid and valid."

"Her Majesty Empress Margaret personally conferred the title of Swordmaster on Crown Prince Ludwig in recognition of his outstanding achievements in Roman swordsmanship."

"Princess Anastasia has expressed her willingness to withdraw from the competition and renounce the first inheritance of the Holy Roman Empire."

This news is so amazing, so explosive, so crazy!

When the newsboys brought the tenfold newspapers to the streets of Vienna with the official newspapers working overtime overnight, many people did not believe the news at all.

"Crown Prince Ludwig, who is that?"

"Which son of David I of the Bavarian Grand Highway is what kind of political joke this must be for the son of the Duke of Bavaria to inherit the Holy Roman Empire."

"Where did the third-rate newspaper lace news come from, Crown Prince Ludwig, growing out of the ground?"

The drunken drunkards haha, and some people were really curious to buy the newspapers that these newsboys were selling.

As a result, the hands trembled, and the whole person's eyes became round.

This is not the kind of third-rate tabloid newspaper that specializes in the news of the Empress and the story of the Lily Palace.

Times Post, Paris Daily, Austrian News, Le Monde.

Publication of the French Times, newspaper of the Confederation of the Holy Roman Empire.

All of them, the most official and authoritative media of the Holy Roman Empire.

For the first time in history, the front page of all newspapers carried a portrait of a student of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.

"Crown Prince Ludwig!"

"Great Ludwig!"

"A new generation of Roman swordsman, Ludwig!"

"Praise to Rome, Crown Prince Ludwig returns to the Holy Roman Empire!"

All of them are words of praise for the Crown Prince Ludwig.

It's understandable that a newspaper was typographed wrong.

All authoritative newspapers are misprinted, and this possibility is absolutely zero!

"A brief biography of the Holy Roman Crown Prince from the Far East, Ludwig."

"Great Ludwig, my struggle."

"What made our Crown Prince Ludwig fall off the list at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna?"

"High prices for works from the time of Crown Prince Ludwig's death in Vienna, starting at 3,000 gold pounds!"

The front-page headlines focused on Crown Prince Ludwig's personal information, and the rest of the pages began to be revealed by the major official newspapers.

Among them, the price of the same fishing rod used by Ludwig has skyrocketed, and those practice paintings that Ludwig himself does not remember where they were lost are already legendary fantasy works.

On this day, the entire Holy Roman Empire, no, the whole world, blew up.

The illegitimate son of Her Majesty Empress Margaret of the Holy Roman Empire?

Heir to the Holy Roman Empire from the Far East, the fourth Roman god

Blood.

A new generation of genius crown princes with the strength of Juggernauts, the first heir of the Holy Roman Empire whose allegiance was unanimously approved by the Council of Electors.

Snatched Anastasia's first inheritance, the future master of the Holy Roman Empire.

"No, I don't believe it, how could Her Majesty Queen Margaret have an illegitimate child!"

Some wept bitterly in the streets, burning all the newspapers they had bought with portraits of Crown Prince Ludwig, and their dreams were shattered.

"Oh my God, the fourth Roman god blood, or the illegitimate son of His Majesty Margaret, I don't even dare to write like that!"

"Why was the crown prince of our Holy Roman Empire born in the Far East, returned to Vienna at the age of eighteen, and failed to enter the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts?"

"God bless Rome!"

"Long live the Holy Roman Empire!"

"Another male Roman god blood was born, and sure enough, the heavens are endless, which is the best proof that Rome has been blessed by the gods."

"No wonder the ceremony in Vienna to celebrate the centenary of Her Majesty Empress Margaret's reign has never ended, and that's why!"

France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Africa, and the territories of the Holy Roman Empire all published this news destined to go down in history.

In particular, in Vienna, the capital of art, the citizens who got the news gathered near the Vienna court, completely surrounding a huge court.

"Long live Crown Prince Ludwig!"

"Your Majesty, can you let us meet Crown Prince Ludwig, just meet us!"

"Finally, it's finally here, and there's a successor to the Holy Roman Empire."

"Long live Her Majesty Empress Margaret, long live Crown Prince Ludwig, long live Princess Anastasia!"

"The Holy Roman Empire is the only legitimacy of Rome!"

Under the surging crowd, if it weren't for the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire who had mobilized enough troops, these hundreds of thousands of people would have rushed directly into the Vienna court.

Inside the Viennese court, in the ruins of the Senate, in front of the throne of the Alps, Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire looks at Ludwig on the throne with a smile.

"Do you hear that, that loud cheer."

"They are all waiting for you, waiting for Ludwig, the crown prince of the Holy Roman Empire."

"As a son of Rome, you cannot escape your historical mission."

"Roman is old, and the mission to perpetuate the blood of the Roman gods is up to you."

"Look around here, it's all the history of Rome, the pride of Rome."

"If you're right, time in this world has been accelerated, and they are witnesses to it."

According to the original plan, the identity of Crown Prince Ludwig will be revealed after the tour of the Alpine Throne.

The reason for the postponement of this decision was that Ludwig told Anastasia and Margaret the truth about the world, as well as certain special items from Margaret's memories.

At this moment, these objects were brought to Vienna by Margaret herself from the Treasury of Great Britain.

"If you're right, the world's supernatural powers are awakening, then these things must be the first to show supernatural powers."

"Because they have been praised by countless people in the thousand-year-old history of Rome, and they have enough mystery."

Margaret began to introduce Ludwig to these famous relics of Roman history.

The first piece, the laurel of the moon.

It is a crown woven from the branches and leaves of a laurel tree, which is still verdant after thousands of years, without any signs of withering.

"In the hundredth year of the Roman calendar, it was discovered, it was a miraculous laurel tree, but unfortunately the hunter who found the laurel tree did not know the goods, so he hacked it to death, and finally weaved this laurel with this never-withering branch and leaf."

"For a long time, this laurel crown was regarded as the best poem against Rome

The reward of man is to bestow the honour of wearing laurels on the poet with the most votes at the annual festival."

"Ludwig, try."

Margaret gently placed the moon laurel crown on Ludwig's head.

A cold breath poured from the moon laurel and quickly washed Ludwig's body.

"A product of 10,000 years ago, and it didn't die, it just changed shape."

"The attribute is moonlight, and there is no corresponding transcendent bloodline yet."

Ludwig opened the Absolute Time Sense and observed the laurel of the moon to arrive at a correct answer that no scholar could possibly know.

The encounter with the golden cat on Neverland was a great upgrade of the power of the bloodline for Anastasia and Margaret.

Ludwig didn't have that kind of ascension, because he had already reached the transcendent tipping point that this world allowed.

His 100 points, which is the upper limit of this world, are currently only 100 points, and Anastasia and Margaret have only passed the passing line now.

At this point in time when the upper limit of strength temporarily touched the ceiling, Ludwig received "wisdom beyond this world" from the golden cat.

Perhaps, the reason why he can understand the message of those extraordinary fish is precisely because of this.

The blessing given to him by the Golden Divine Cat is another level, something more precious than the power of the bloodline.

"Moonlight attribute, this is an extraordinary trait that has not been recorded......

"The war fanaticism of the primordial, my tail, Anastasia's golden rule of wealth, your sense of time."

"It's all Roman divine blood, but the transcendent characteristics are completely different."

"The rules of the transcendent world are really unpredictable."

Margaret took out another Roman relic, this time a silk robe.

"In the 150th year of the Roman calendar, a gift from the Far East, silk with the characteristics of invulnerability, because of this dress, the whole of Rome once set off a frenzy of silk."

"The trade with the Far East also created the later Tsarist Russian Empire."

"The Roman branch of the Tsarist Imperial State passed through the Silk Road and reached the end of the continent."

"It's a pity that since the death of the first generation, this holy relic has also lost its luster and was once broken."

Ludwig's fingertips touched the silk robe, which had obvious signs of age, and frowned slightly.

Strange, it's a completely different breath from the moon laurel just now.

Is this really a creation from the Far East, the imperial state of Tsarist Russia?

Why does he have an inexplicably familiar taste on this dress.

In particular, a certain piece of cloth in the center is even more familiar, and the feeling of rubbing it up is as if I have wiped it more than once.

"Shhhh

Ludwig tore it hard, tearing the priceless historical artifact to reveal the tiny piece of cloth.

"Weaving Fabric...... The material used to weave the garment, the source of the garment's extraordinary power."

"If the Extraordinaire of the Moon Laurel just now is one, the upper limit of this piece is more than ninety-nine."

"However, not everyone is qualified to wear this garment, and it needs to be activated with extraordinary power."

"The attribute is...... Ice and snow."

Ludwig pinched the fabric and shook it gently.

Silver crumbs flew out of the fabric, and after about a minute, a new silver transcendent garment appeared in front of Ludwig and Margaret.

Perfectly fitting Ludwig's figure, slender yet gorgeous.

At the corners of the sleeves, there is a wing pattern woven with silver silk threads.

Wearing it on Ludwig, Ludwig naturally has a noble temperament that is beyond the world.

It wasn't something anyone could learn, it was a miracle woven by the power of mystery and the blood of Roman gods.

Even in this world where the transcendent is the upper limit, weaving is also exhibited

showed his own characteristics as a material for divine clothing.

After all, this is a material that the son of Tianxiang has personally woven with the silk threads of his own body.

"It's, it's amazing!"

"Ludwig, how many more surprises do you have to bring me......

Margaret looked with envy at the completely stereotyped silver-white woven cloth garment, which was a superior level of extraordinary equipment recorded in Roman history.

It doesn't even look like a product of the current world, with a beauty that is completely different from all known civilizations.

If she had known that this dilapidated Roman relic still had such properties, she might not have been willing to give it to Ludwig.

Look at the point, Margaret.

Rome is yours and Ludwig's, isn't his stuff yours?

Next, there was a set of holy relics, which Margaret herself brought back from her trip to Great Britain.

"The inscription of the gods, a stone tablet older than Rome, one of the origins of the Church."

"It is said to be written in the words of God, and it has not been cracked until now."

"Ludwig, how old are these steles?"

After learning that Ludwig's talent was related to "time perception", Margaret found the strongest connoisseur in the world, and the current accuracy rate is 100%.

He said that time in the world had been accelerated, which was exactly what Margaret was wondering about the speed of time.

The sun has been going on for a whole century, and there is really something wrong with it.

This time, it took Ludwig a quarter of an hour to decipher the historical traces of these steles of the gods.

"The history of these steles is ...... Millions of years!"

"A million years ago, this world civilization doesn't have that long history!"

Margaret was completely stunned, the recorded history of human civilization only dates back to about 7,000 years ago.

It's not surprising that the laurel tree is 10,000 years old, and scholars have found large plant communities in the New World that appear to be tens of thousands of years old.

You say that a million years ago, there was a civilization that could leave such an inscription?

That's a hundred times different from the earliest known history of the entire human civilization!

"Yes, it's all from millions of years ago, and I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes."

"I'm mistaken, the time acceleration in this world may have started a long time ago."

"They may be the earliest traces of civilization in this world."

"The words recorded above do not belong to the system of the present civilization."

Ludwig was also taken aback, realizing that he had completely underestimated the history of civilization in this world.

"What's written in it?"

Margaret was in high spirits.

"The Seven Seas...... There are seven princesses......

"Keeping the promise...... Conduct the Great Trial......

"When dusk and night are staggered......

"The Black Moon will descend on the earth, and the princesses will have to make a choice......

"Only the winner...... You can get that divine ......."

"The only ......"

Ludwig deciphered the words recorded on these ancient stone tablets, which was also thanks to the blessing of the golden cat, so that he could understand these ancient words without barriers.

"Sounds like some kind of prophecy."

"What was civilization like a million years ago?"

"Seven seas, seven princesses......

Margaret thought for a moment, but this was a completely unforeseen state of affairs.

Unfortunately, astronomers have not observed any "black moons" at all, and there is no record of it in the pre-Roman church.

Margaret seriously doubted that the priests of the church could not decipher the inscriptions of the gods, but only regarded these ancient stone tablets, which had not been eroded for millions of years, as miracles.

In a sense, yes.

The history of mankind is only about a few thousand years, and these million-year-old stone tablets, even in the eyes of Margaret in the age of science, are miraculous things.

So far, the holy relics that Margaret personally brought to Vienna from the British treasury have been identified by Ludwig.

The laurel wreath of the moon and the garment of woven cloth are perfectly suited to Ludwig and are truly ancient relics of Roman heritage.

However, those inscriptions of the gods seem to have nothing to do with Rome, and what happened in a million years, the latecomers can only fantasize about it.

"Do you want to wear my Pegasus boots?"

Putting the laurel wreath on Ludwig with her own hands, and watching him wear the extraordinary garments made of woven fabric, Marguerite felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Less than ten relics were left in the entire history of Rome, the moon laurel wreath and the silk garment were given to Ludwig.

Pegasus Boots, Butterfly Hairpin, and one of the Roman Twin Shortsword is held by Margaret.

Leave a little more for Anastasia, and there will be very little left of the already small inventory of Roman relics.

On the younger brother Roman's side, there should be some special easter eggs, which are Margaret's eternal pain.

"No need......

Ludwig looked at Margaret's slender feet and the Pegasus Boots that Anastasia had also wore, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

The slightest change was immediately noticed by Margaret.

Because, she has been looking at Ludwig, looking at him who will be personally given the crown prince by herself.

Life is truly wonderful.

It was just an ordinary Roman holiday with Little Thea, but I met him.

He changed them, and he changed the history of the world.

Before we met him, a century passed like a dream.

After meeting him, the world became so colorful, and every day was different.

"Ludwig, I'm sorry."

"Actually, I know that you don't like to be the crown prince of the Holy Roman Empire."

"It's because of me, and little Thea, that you made the choice."

"It's us who forced you to accept this identity."

"The only thing I can win for you is the freedom not to marry politically."

Margaret's fingertips touched Ludwig's cheek from behind and brushed his forehead in an indescribably endearing way.

At this moment, Margaret is not Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, but simply "Mary" who apologizes to Ludwig for what she has done.

"Well, I don't like being the crown prince."

"But, you need, and there are many people who need me to do this."

"At that time, when I saw that fantasy god, I realized something."

"I...... Maybe it's something special for this world."

"I can't get back the part of my memory that is blank."

"There's only one thing, that's for sure."

In Ludwig's mind, in the black and white world, the teenager who looked younger than him was looking at the world with him.

Strange, time-distorted, a world with many unthinkable things.

"You are very important to me." (Will Silver Concubine be one of you?) )

"You're special to me." (You are the ones who made me understand what beauty is and what art is).

Some kind of resonance was generated.

The figures of the two gradually fit together, and many mysterious trajectories in Ludwig's pupils were spreading.

Endless killing, can't erode my heart.

Defeating ghosts and gods will not satisfy me.

For that goal, you have to keep going.

Can't stop here, so you'll choose to become Holy Roman Emperor

The crown prince of the country.

For you, they are special, unique beings.

Being with them is the only way you can find answers.

"You're really not good at expressing your feelings."

"Sluggish, wooden, always going fishing."

"Even so, I'm ...... Very satisfied."

Margaret put on Ludwig's laurel crown and took his hand.

Today is the day when the world will be changed.

Today is also the day when Margaret chose to give up her status as Her Majesty the Empress and walk by Ludwig's side in another way.

If time is accelerated, it will be accelerated, there is no way to do that kind of thing anyway.

Ten thousand years, one million years, is meaningless for the lifespan of the transcendent bloodline is only three hundred years old.

Only at this moment, the hand she held his hand was so real.

She made a choice.

Her Majesty's mission is over, and the successor of the Holy Roman Empire will appear to the world today.

Ludwig, you are Rome.

You will proclaim to the whole world under the witness of the inscriptions of the gods.

The time of Ludwig has arrived!
