Realm of Power

Just like a patient recovering from a serious illness, the southern part of Hérault, which has not had rain for decades, is slowly regaining its vitality. As the yellow sand drifted away, dots of buildings appeared among the ruins. Like wild grass that had been destroyed by fire sprouting again, the sentry tower covered with green vines showed an irregular angular shape in the distance. In the rain, the gray spiers of the ruins of the city stood quietly in this majestic area. gap between plains

"Is this what you asked me to see?"

The black-haired emperor's curious eyes fell on the end of the granite steps in front. Of course, he came to the edge of the Sea of ​​Mists not just out of curiosity, but because of another important reason, the invitation of the Pope of the Order, Potamia, Luke Feiya. , a ruin in the south of Hérault, one of the first ruins exposed after the edge of the yellow sand dissipated.

At this moment, in the front, Pope Potamia, whom he had not seen for nearly a month, stood there with a solemn face. He was wearing a long white dress and his flawless face was as crystal clear as jade, giving him a feeling as crystal clear as snow. , the whole person is like a ball of white snow, staring at a life-size bronze sculpture. The black-haired emperor's brows are slightly furrowed. Putamia's state gives people a very abnormal feeling.

A person can suddenly change his temperament and even appearance.

Can even the skin change? As the pope of the Order State, Potamia is a famous beauty in the southern part of Hero. She is unparalleled in beauty. However, because the Order State is located in the subtropical sunshine zone, her skin is not as white as that of the Nordic Barrow women, but slightly. There is a hint of exotic red, and at this moment, Putamiya's entire skin shows an unconventional snow-white color.

"Whose bronze statue is this?" The black-haired emperor took a deep breath and tried to free himself from the mental influence.

It was a young man wearing a military uniform. Although part of his face was ruined by the yellow sand in the south, it could still be seen that he was a very tall and handsome young man. He held a sword in one hand and looked straight into the distance, feeling sad and sad. , in the young man's eyes looking into the distance, there was an unknown sadness. Looking at the bronze statue, the black-haired emperor's eyelids suddenly jumped. There is no reason. This feeling is very mysterious. It is obviously the first time for me to come here, but why does it feel familiar, as if the dream soul has lingered here thousands of times. The black-haired emperor knows very well that he has never seen this statue before. The reason for this fateful illusion is entirely because of the statue itself.

Obviously, this statue has an impact on the spirits of the people around it, similar to a hypnotic effect. Seeing such a thing in the almost semi-deserted south of Erault made him feel incredible. Sure enough, it can make the goddess Potamia stick. What we are looking for even if we risk our lives to sneak into the southern part of Hérault, we cannot associate it with the word normal.

"I said this is the first pope of my holy city, do you believe it?" Putamia turned around in a pretty dress and smiled playfully at the black-haired emperor.

"The first pope of the Holy City?"

"Yes, Ferran, the high priest of the Holy City." When speaking of this name, Putamia was full of respect. "He was also the first prophet of the Holy City and the creator of the Holy City. He founded the Holy City more than two hundred years ago and later established it. Suddenly disappeared in the south of Hérault. The establishment of the southern branch of Hérault was to find traces of the prophet. What he left behind created the prosperity of the south of Hérault."

"The founder of the Holy City!"

The black-haired emperor was also frightened by this name. The civilization of the Holy City was obviously the legacy of some pre-civilization and was actually founded by this so-called prophet. However, he vaguely felt that he had heard of this name, but for a while I can’t recall it, but judging from the reverent expression on Pudamia’s face and having a statue in the south of Hérault, it’s enough to show that Pudamia What Damia said is not false. What Potamia risked his life to go to the south to find is probably the founder of the Holy City, but this should also be a figure from more than two hundred years ago. The Holy City itself It has a history of more than a hundred years, and eighty years have passed since the collapse of the Holy City. No matter how powerful the founder of the Holy City is, he will not still be alive.

"Prophet Ferran is a human being, not a god." Pope Potamia seemed to understand the thoughts of the black-haired emperor, and smiled. "Prophet Ferran was born in a ducal family of the Kingdom of Langya and is a famous general of the Kingdom of Langya. , had led the army several times to defeat the invading seven desert states, but because he was a direct descendant of the royal family, and a man who was good at conquering and fighting, Famous generals with royal blood are always tabooed by those in power. He has made many meritorious deeds but has never been reused. He was transferred to a remote area of ​​the kingdom to guard. During the battle of Shahe between the kingdom and the seven desert states, the 200,000-strong main force of Langya Kingdom was completely defeated. The army was wiped out, and the troops from the seven desert states marched straight into the central area. King Languya and the Minister of Military Affairs disappeared in the chaos.

Although the Kingdom of Languya finally ceded half of its land to the Seven Desert States and allowed the Seven Desert States to withdraw their troops, the huge losses could no longer be compensated.

In the following year, the main central force of the kingdom fell. The royal family left no strong heir. The central power was paralyzed, and the princes everywhere were ready to take action. The first person who jumped out was the princes of the Istan region in the southeast of the kingdom, Thoradin Roco, the first emperor of the Istan Empire. This Thoradin Roco once swore an oath to serve Languya, but now King Languya He is dead, and the blood of the royal family has been cut off. Therefore, Thoradin Jun is no longer bound by the oath, and will change his flag and name to "Istan" from now on.

Faced with this blatant act of rebellion, the weak central government was unable to suppress it, while other princes with heavy military forces were watching with concern. Only Felan, who was located in a remote area, took action and mobilized An army of 20,000 crusaded against the Istantian Army. In the Henrosa area of ​​eastern Istanbul, the Ferran Army and the Istanbul Army launched a fierce battle. It lasted for two days and two nights. In the end, the Ferran Army penetrated the Istanbul Army's main formation and won.

Just when the news of the great victory came, another bad news came from the capital of Langya.

The army guarding the capital rebelled. In the bloody dusk, the guard of the capital surrounded the palace. Armored infantry rushed in from the main entrance of the majestic palace. The palace guards resisted desperately. The Palace of the God of War, which represents the glory of Langya, became a rebel. The battle with the royal defenders Rivers of blood flowed everywhere. In order to cover up their crimes, the rebels set fire to the palace. A large group of cavalry shouted along the street, "Kill whoever dares to put out the fire!" The residents of the royal capital remained silent, watching helplessly as the flames soared into the sky and burned down the royal palace. and the three hundred years of treasures of the Langya Kingdom. The next day, the rebel commander officially announced to the rectification mainland that "there was a fire in the palace. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to rescue the last member of the royal family, Her Royal Highness Princess Rosina."

On the third day, Karasu, the Royal Guard Corps, officially announced the destruction of the Languya Kingdom. The princes from all over the country started to stand on their own. After three hundred years of rain, the once powerful Languya Kingdom was completely broken. The angry Felan counterattacked the Royal Capital. , in the battle of Heshan, Feilan attacked with 10,000 troops The royal capital's 30,000-strong guard force was defeated, and Karasu fled with only five of his guards. He almost became a prisoner, but managed to escape by hiding among the dead. Later, in the battle of Langya's royal capital, Another 30,000 guard troops were defeated... Within a month, the world was shocked. Feilan's army of less than 20,000 continuously defeated nearly 100,000 troops in the royal capital, driving the surrounding princes to despair. The broadest alliance ever formed was formed.

The surrounding princes simultaneously launched a siege on Feilan's army, swarming in from all directions with absolutely superior strength. From the southeast, from the northwest, from the coast, from the inland, and from all over the roads leading to the capital, soldiers and horses covered the sky and the sun. Knowing that there was a huge disparity in strength, the Ferran Army actually fought on a par with the entire nation, and even had the upper hand. In the end, the princes were forced to agree to use the Lancia Valley where the Holy City was later built as the Fiefland Army's fiefdom.

Potamia paused, looked at the bronze statue, and then at the black-haired emperor, "Military God Wushuang, this looks a lot like you, doesn't it? And I can always predict things in advance. Sometimes I have to think , you are the Prophet Ferran" Pudamia said lonely Standing quietly, her slender waist was straight, her hair was gently blowing, her face was as white as frost and snow, her expression was calm, but for some reason, she gave people a sad feeling and couldn't even cry. The sadness has penetrated the entire soul. While she was speaking to the black-haired emperor, her gaze was directed towards the bronze statue, towards the western sky beyond her reach. In the hazy fog, she looked up at the sky, her flawless white face shrouded in a layer of holy light, her gaze There is a desolate determination in it,

If you could go back in time and let yourself choose again, how would you choose? Or is there a better way to get the best of both worlds? Looking up at the bright starry sky, the black-haired emperor sighed. Dealing with Potamia was something the empire needed to consider. When he was deep in thought, Potamia looked at him quietly, at his frowning eyebrows, and at his outline. His clear face, the slightly raised wrinkles between his brows when he was thinking, and his resolute and calm eyes when he was concentrating.

Finally, the black-haired emperor asked in a deep voice with a cold face,

"What does this have to do with the Sea of ​​Mist?"

Deciding to break the atmosphere, Potamia invited him here in the name of the Sea of ​​Mists, otherwise the black-haired emperor would not have come to keep the appointment, because he could feel that Potamia was already in a state of frenzy. In a crazy state, and he can still escape from the Wildland Legacy variant alive, he definitely has a mental problem.

"The Sea of ​​Mist is the place where Prophet Feran last disappeared. It is most likely the entrance to the land of God mentioned by Prophet Feran. When our ancestors of the Order fled to the south, they discovered the truth of this secret based on the records of the Holy City. , just when the entrance was about to be opened, we suddenly encountered a rebellion from the Erro Southern Branch. We had no choice but to give up! "

Putamia's eyes were bright and frightening. She shook her head slightly and smiled helplessly. She knew that the emperor had already made his choice. "As time goes by, no one still remembers the name of Prophet Ferran, even me. They all believed that the original Prophet Ferran was just a figure fabricated by the Holy City. He even gave up his faith and wanted to become the queen of the Order State. However, In the Sky Temple of the Empire, I unexpectedly learned the name of Prophet Ferran. Does Your Majesty know how shocked I was when I heard the name of Prophet Ferran? It turns out that Prophet Ferran really exists and was the founder of the Holy City. They even reached the Ikadiva continent, and it is said that the place where the last remains of Prophet Ferran seemed to have been discovered by His Majesty, and was even ordered to be completely banned by His Majesty! "

"Prophet Ferran of the Sky Temple? The man who founded the Sky Temple and was subsequently expelled from the Sky Temple!"

The black-haired emperor's face changed slightly. He remembered who Prophet Ferran was. Prophet Ferran of the Sky Temple, the lunatic who made the Sky Temple try its best to cover up. It's no wonder why Prophet Ferran was regarded by the Salanders. Respected, he was abandoned by Salander's senior management in the end. Originally, he always thought that Prophet Ferran was a young man. , but now judging from the time, Prophet Ferran in Salander's era may have been old. If Prophet Ferran was the first pope, then Pudamia should be a descendant of Ferran, thinking of Salander The fate of the descendants of Ferran is like a curse. It seems that signs of madness will begin to appear after the age of thirty.

This should be some kind of genetic disease of the bloodline

It is conceivable that the old Prophet Ferran was even more crazy and terrifying, trying to copy the Holy City model in Salander. And the Prophet Ferran at that time was not the Prophet Ferran in the early days of the Holy City. At most, he was similar to Pudami. Even Salander's senior management thought it was too scary and unreasonable for Ya to be in such a crazy state, but it was obviously impossible to kill this madman.

So let’s just go into secret exile! In the end, there was only one female guard following the old man Felan.

The original scriptures of the Sky Temple record that the Prophet Ferran was not a Salander, but suddenly appeared on the migrating fleet at that time. He did not know where he came from or where he went. The place name mentioned made Salander The Germans have no impression at all. The Salander Sea is hundreds of miles northwest of the Obaro continent, but Prophet Ferran is It disappeared along the southern coast of Hérault in the south of Obarro. The distance in between is four to five thousand miles. The Salanders would not know that these place names were thousands of miles away in South Hérault even if they broke their heads. In the area, the elderly Fei Lan may have really found the entrance to the Kingdom of God on land, but when he came out, he was already thousands of miles away.

Poor old Feilan, I guess he was deceived.

This teleportation deviation is a bit large... The black-haired emperor narrowed his eyes into a line. He has always suspected that the land of God is not on the land at all, but in the sky, above the Sea of ​​Mist. This is the Sea of ​​Mist. The reason why the center is always moving is that the origin of the prophet Phelan is unknown. After he got old, he found that he had mental problems and wanted to go back. The only problem is how to get from the land to the air. In this era, there are neither airplanes nor anything that can fly, but if the land If the Kingdom of God has the ability to teleport, that is another matter.
