Chapter 2: The Rose Prince

Legend has it that when the craftsmen asked Emperor Xiaotian where the new imperial palace was built and what materials were used to build it, the Emperor pointed to the holy mountain next to the Holy City of the Church at that time.

At the time, everyone thought he was joking, but they didn't expect him to mean it. ”

......

"No one knows why the Emperor Xiaotian had just finished the war on the continent at that time, and the Church of God was still fleeing with his family, and the situation was not very stable, so he started the construction of the Tower of Eternity, and this tower was a mystery from the beginning of construction to the end of construction.

But I guess he's not just going to have fun anyway. ”

......

Legend has it that there are church texts that in the lost antiquity there were also ancient tribes who built a similar great structure called the Tower of Babel, but later the greater Holy Spirit thought that the Tower of Babel had offended the authority of the gods, and sent down seven nights of thunder to chop the Tower of Babel and the ancient tribes that built it into ashes.

I've heard that the Howling Emperor was also struck by lightning, but he wasn't hacked to death......"

......

"Personally, I don't think the Tower of Eternity should be called the Tower of Eternity, it should be called the Tower of Rebellion. ”

......

――Quoted from "History of the First Four Ages of the Empire: The Tower of Eternity" (by Emperor Chen)

The white doves on the Heroic Square in the Eternal City of the Manhua Empire have long been too fat to fly because they are fed by tourists who come and go, and the pigeon with its fat body always flaps its wings a few times, and then falls down after flying less than a few meters high, and then continues to peck at the bird food left by the tourists with its fat body.

Di Xue sat on a long stone bench not far from the giant stone statue of the Howling Emperor in the Heroic Square, and with some difficulty took her eyes off the yellowed and worn "History of the First Four Ages of the Empire" in her hand.

He waved away a pigeon beside him that had no food to eat, and smiled meaningfully, the bright midday sun shining on his face, giving his normally pale skin a rosy glow.

"Uncle Xu, is this genuine?" Di Xue turned her head to look behind her and asked with some amusement.

The old servant behind him stepped forward, and the old servant was wearing a butler costume with gold tattoos on the black placket, looking a little retro literary temperament.

The old servant also replied helplessly, "Big ...... Great young master, this was released in the year 462 of the Empire, and it is already the earliest version that can be found, but it is ...... Even so, I think the original manuscript must have been abridged when it was first released. ”

Di Xue nodded very seriously and solemnly: "I think so too." ”

Then he gasped again and exclaimed, "Then how exciting do you think the original will be?!"

As historians and writers of the empire have unanimously agreed, the greatest literary significance of the History of the First Four Ages of the Empire, compiled by the legendary prince Emperor Chen of the Fourth Age of the Empire, is to prove ...... Someone can really write history as a big collection of bad jokes!

No one will really look at "History of the First Four Ages of Empire" as a history book, because it is not a history book at all......

As Emperor Chen himself said, no one knows why Emperor Xiaotian built the Tower of Eternity, and no one knows why he wrote this book.

Di Xue thought that the answer was simple, and that it was due to a certain bad taste that his ancestor had always had

Di Xue shook her head helplessly, handed the book in her hand to Uncle Xu, and then stopped speaking, as if she was in deep thought.

He sat on an inconspicuous long stone chair in the Eternal City's Heroic Square, which was more than ten miles in circumference, and there were many such long and rectangular stone chairs for visitors to rest.

Di Xue is also like an ordinary tourist, enjoying the extraordinarily bright sunshine this afternoon.

But he didn't just come to bask in the sun, of course he didn't come to read a book, in fact he was waiting for someone.

The giant stone statue of the Howling Emperor not far behind Di Xue was still holding a book in one hand and a sword in the other, majestic and inoffensive.

The Tower of Eternity in front of him was still broken into the sky for thousands of years, and the two were relatively speechless, like him, who didn't like to speak.

Di Xue raised her head and squinted slightly, his pure eyes were the same color as the blue sky today, with a high nose bridge and thin lips, even a woman would sigh to herself, just as his sister Di Lan often teased him, her younger brother had the same name as a woman, and a woman's face.

Di Xue sighed and said, "I've been looking at it for more than ten years, but I still can't see how 'high' this tower is. ”

Uncle Xu behind him smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, many people can't see it like you. ”

If you ask an Imperialist how tall the Eternal Tower is, he will say to you, "Eternal Tower, it's as tall as the sky!"

In fact, only those who have been to the Eternal City, the capital of the Empire, know that the Eternal Tower is not "as high as the sky!"

Because it's higher than the sky!

The Eternal City is shining brightly today, and there are only a few white clouds in the clear blue sky, so when you try your best to raise your head to more than 90 degrees, you can only see the Eternal Tower silently reaching the end of the sky, and the huge tower body gradually becomes smaller and then invisible, and you can't see the spectacular scene of the huge tower body of the Eternal Tower piercing through the clouds when it is cloudy.

But it was precisely because of this that Di Xue was even more regretful, because the sky was so empty and unobstructed, he still couldn't see how "high" the Tower of Eternity was.

The furnace sun gradually shifted, and when it walked past the Tower of Eternity, it seemed to be cut in half by the huge tower, and the magnificence was indescribable.

As time passed, the shadow cast by the huge tower of the Tower of Eternity gradually disappeared into the giant stone statue of the Howling Emperor on the Heroic Square, Di Xue got up, since he still couldn't see it, he didn't look at it anymore, he had waited for that person for a long time, and since he couldn't wait, he didn't wait anymore.

"Let's go, go to the seminary. Di Xue's voice was a little cold.

Uncle Xu brought the carriage in response, the wooden carriage was simple but gorgeous, gorgeous and atmospheric, with a beautiful rose flower badge on it.

Two snow-white white horses trampled on the hooves, and Uncle Xu drove the carriage towards Beicheng. The carriage passed by the Tower of Eternity and went around the tower without making many stops.

Due to the implementation of the New Imperial Deal in recent years, several royal palaces and confidential places near the Tower of Eternity have been demolished and transformed into civilian areas, and horse-drawn carriages soon drove into the lively bazaar.

The "Imperial Palace" is so close to the private houses that the Manhua Empire is unprecedented.

The Imperial soldiers patrolling along the way stopped and saluted when they saw Di Xue's carriage, which was their proper etiquette.

However, many of the Empire's civilians also made way for the carriages, stopped and watched the carriages pass, or even bowed slightly to their chests as a sign of respect.

The Rose Empire is open-minded and open-minded, and it does not require its people to salute when they see the royal family, and the imperial commoners of the Eternal City do so not out of reverence for the imperial power, but because the merits of the imperial family in the past generations are indeed worthy of their respect.

An imperial young man who was drinking coffee under the awning on the side of the road, put down the coffee cup in his hand, watched the carriage with the beautiful rose badge gradually move away, and asked his companion curiously, "I don't know who this traveling imperial family is?"

His companion immediately laughed at his loneliness and said, "You don't know this, our empire is so easy to travel, and it is naturally the prince of Emperor Xue who likes to ride in a carriage, and who likes to ride this thing now." ”
