Chapter 8 Dream interpretation is a difficult technical task
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly," said Sang Jie, "you said that when the Emperor was alive, he dreamed of a blood-red moon in the black sky, and to the left of the blood moon, a dim star devoured the seven radiant stars around it. When the Emperor woke up, he was troubled by this dream, and ordered all the priests and warlocks in the temple of Austa to interpret the dreamβ"
"Go on. β
"I don't know whether to continue or not, I fear it will touch His Majesty's sorrows. This dream is so unspiritual, and I am outraged that the priests who have eaten the empire for so many years have rewarded the great royal family with such prophecy. β
"Good, good. Mr. Sang, I thank you for your righteousness," Sether softened by Sang's tone and began to address the latter by Mr., an affectionate title that the Emperor would only use when he was in a better mood, "Let me tell if the prophecy that comes out of your mouth is consistent with what I remember." β
"The chief high priest reported to the Emperor, and they consulted the divine decree of the goddess and concluded that the dim star represented the kingdom of the Hidden Lotus that had been destroyed by the wrath of the gods in ancient times, and that the seven bright stars represented the seven kingdoms of the Alliance, and that the Devouring Seven Stars represented that the time would come when the Hidden Lotus Kingdom would re-emerge and annex the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. β
"Yes, that's right," the Emperor muttered under his breath, "and do you have any unusual opinions?"
"May I ask Your Majesty to give me a guarantee that you will not be unhappy to put me in the Black Grave after I have told my speculation. β
"I assure you in my capacity as royalty of VIAPH, say it. β
"You don't worship the goddess Austa like the emperors did," Sanjie said, "and you don't think that an alien god who comes out of ancient legends in charge of youth and strifefulness will bless your empire with prosperity and freedom from enemies." He stopped, and the Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce gaze.
"I agree with you, the proof is that if the goddess works," said Sandai, who was bold enough to continue, knowing that he was now using his head as a ball, but he knew his master's heart, and he was sure that Sether would throw his head back at him, "The Semians will not be conquered by our great emperor, and their king Shenterai has not been a captive in a pigeon cage for eight years?" The Emperor was merciful and spared his life for Santrai, and made him live in a prison with his blind son, Semmir, who was fed fine flour and honey, and dressed in soft linen clothes. What a great grace this is!"
"I would say that the unprecedented strength of the Viaphant Kai Empire today proves that the Emperor and you are the true gods alive. Your Majesty, you don't need to use unknown mountain gods, water gods, or goddesses to protect you. Your blessings are enough to protect the Viaphant Empire for eternity, and I would say it's all my faith!"
"So, the true meaning of that dream is that you are the blood-red moon, and you will pass through some unknown inheritance of the Hidden Lotus Empire, which may be people or things, in short, this is the meaning of the dim star, and then you will conquer the other six kingdoms and the numerous Yu Bang cities, and this is the meaning of the seven shining stars!"
Sanjie ended his impassioned confession with deep worship, and he lowered his head to stare at the carpet, waiting for the emperor to express his words.
Time passed minute by minute, the white lion on the balcony let out a loud lazy snor, and Sang Jie's voice seemed to hear the empress's voice, and it seemed that the number of people waiting for the emperor's summons was gradually increasing.
Could it be that the emperor didn't like what he had just said? Could it be that the emperor felt that he was unhappy because he had mocked the emperor......?
A pair of white slender hands firmly grasped his elbows, and the emperor personally helped him up, with a faint smile like a joke on his face, "My good Sangjie, your words are too much to the appetite of an emperor, how can I refuse? It seems that I am going to prepare a small reward for you again." Aha, it's going to make the baby angry, but I don't care, I can do whatever I want. β
Sang Jie's smile.
