Chapter 245 Mural

"here……"

"This is the truth of history!" The king's voice was a bit vicissitudes.

Behind the stone gate is a space of about a few dozen meters. The gems inlaid on the wall emit a soft light driven by magic. On the wall are a series of murals with brilliant light!

The top of the entire space is a round arch shape, and in the center of the head is a magic circle of six-pointed stars. Roddy could clearly feel the soft magic waves coming from the magic circle. What surprised Roddy even more was that the ground in this room... was simply a pool-like space. From the first step to entering the stone gate, looking around, silver light flashed on the ground, and the waves were calm... The ground here was actually filled with mercury!!

And just in the middle, a pontoon bridge of stone slabs was laid! The stone slabs seemed to float on mercury.

As the king and Roddy stepped onto the stone slab pontoon bridge, the mercury liquid on both sides of the pontoon bridge faintly brought out a little fluctuation. Roddy could clearly feel that the ground under her feet was floating. Obviously, these stone slabs were suspended on the mercury in an unknown way.

Standing on the stone pontoon bridge, you cannot directly contact the murals on the surrounding walls. However, you can still clearly see the patterns on the murals.

The king sighed: "Rody, please see these murals clearly. You only have an hour at most! This place uses magic circles to last for thousands of years! You can only open a square of one hour every day. Once the time comes, we must go out to avoid destroying the magic circle!"

Roddy seemed not to care about the king's words, and his full attention had been focused on the first mural after entering the door...

The pattern on the first mural seems very simple, and in terms of carving techniques, it is also relatively simple, and it seems to be the oldest. The pattern on it shows a picture that interest Roddy:

Looking down at the bottom of the picture, there are a group of humans in various clothes, including men and women. Their facial expressions are full of respect and piety, and they look up at the top of the picture as if they were worshipping - above is a white building, which simply uses the vision as the background, and looks like a tall building full of sacred atmosphere. On top of the building, there is a small person standing!

The man was wearing a white robe, and his face was naturally unsightly. He opened his hands, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world in his arms, with only one long hair floating, looking quite imposing!

"What is this? Are the gods that those people worship? Is that person standing on the building a god?" Roddy asked in a low voice.

"No!" the king sighed: "The person who was worshipped is not a god!"

"Oh?" Roddy was a little surprised.

Then the king whispered in a sigh: "The person who was worshipped is the founder of the Shaka Empire, the first emperor of the empire, Yulian!"

The king's voice slowly echoed in this space: "This first mural tells the creation of the Shaka Empire! From now on, it seems that the exact age at that time is no longer verified. This picture records the first day of the creation of the empire. My ancestor, Yulian, was speaking to people! What he said at that time has been passed down!"

"What did he say?"

The king smiled bitterly: "What he said is that human beings should be a united world! And everyone should be free from their origins, and our souls should not be confined by any shackles!! We should doubt everything, and should not blindly worship. In this world, human beings should have independent personality and souls... not slaves of those servants of God!"

Roddy opened her mouth wide, as if she was a little surprised. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "Now I have a little understanding of why the Shaka Empire was destroyed... because your first emperor said such blasphemous words..."

His eyes turned to the second mural.

On this mural, there is a huge room. The whole room is a circular shape similar to a theater. There are many people with different expressions sitting on the dense round seats around. These people are dressed in exquisite and luxurious, and simple. However, everyone's expression is the same sacred and solemn. In the middle surrounded by the surrounding seats is a small high platform, with a man in a white robe standing on it. The man looked elegant and held a scepter high in his hand.

What surprised Roddy was that there was a line of text left under the mural...

"What does that sentence mean?" Roddy frowned.

The king narrowed his eyes and said slowly in a low voice: "Human affairs should be decided by humans!"

Looking at Roddy's somewhat surprised gaze, the king smiled and explained: "In fact, this mural mainly records a very important historical event in the Shaka Empire - the establishment of the 'Congress Council'! The 'Congress Council' is a special political system of the Shaka Empire! In the Shaka Empire, the emperor was not the only dictator! The 'Congress Council' is the representative of the people. Whether it is a noble, a civilian, or a knight, any class has its own representative and participates in the 'Congress Council'! The man in the middle of the picture was the Emperor of the Shaka Empire at that time. He was listening to the opinions of representatives of various classes and then making some decisions based on their opinions."

Roddy sighed, "This is really a strange political system!"

The king said lightly: "Not surprising at all! The founder of the Shaka Empire said that freedom and rights belong to everyone. The emperor is not a dictator, but a guide!"

Roddy glanced at the king deeply, and then solemnly said in a serious tone: "I express my highest respect to Your Majesty's ancestors!!"

Unexpectedly, the king was not proud at all, but his expression was a little sad. He just shook his head and did not react to Roddy's words.

The two continued to look down.

The third and fourth murals record some of the history of the Shaka Empire, and there is nothing strange about it. The only thing that shocked Roddy was that the Shaka Empire that existed in ancient times was really an existence that made Roddy very fascinated... What was strange was that these murals did not mention anything about the existence of the Divine Cult - was there no Divine Cult in this world in that era?

The style of the fifth mural has changed completely!

The styles of the first four murals are full of harmony and peace, or a bit of prosperity. These just fit the tone of freedom and equality of the Saga Empire.

And the fifth mural has undergone a huge change in style!

Above the picture, there are gallows!! On the gallows, people wearing black robes were hung there... and at their feet, there were some dead bodies!

Some of the people watching around were obviously civilians, and their faces seemed to be cheering.

What surprised Roddy even more was that he was very familiar with the clothes of those who were hanged!!

Those who were hung on gallows and wearing black robes were clearly dressed as gods!!!

Hell! Roddy was shocked! The people from the God Cult were actually hanged to death??

In this era when Roddy lived, the Divine Cult has almost the most sacred authority. There has always been only the Divine Cult hanged others. There has never been a large number of people in this world who have never heard of the Divine Cult being publicly hanged!

There is still a line of text under the mural!

The king had already read out the line of words before Roddy asked:

"Humans do not need the shackles of their souls! Anyone who wants to put shackles on our souls will be ready to be punished by death!"

Roddy listened to the king's words, and the shock in her heart could not be expressed in words!

Judging from the picture and the text below, the Shaka Empire was obviously opposed to the existence of the Divine Church! It can even be said that they regarded the Divine Church theology as a heretical and evil religion...

In other words, the Shaka Empire is simply an empire that does not believe in the divine religion! They do not believe in the gods!!

"Shocked?" The king smiled bitterly and looked at Roddy and whispered: "Frankly speaking, I was shocked when I first came here and saw these things!"

Roddy took a deep breath, then vomited heavily, his face still with a little strange: "In the era of the Shaka Empire, the Divine Cult was the target of suppression, right?"

"Yes!" the king whispered: "My ancestors believed that humans were born free. Our spirits and souls should not be confined by the so-called gods! Although gods are this high being, they have no right to interfere in our world! So..." The king glanced at the mural: "In the era of the Shaka Empire, the gods were declared illegal and were explicitly prohibited by the imperial decrees! All charlatans were hanged..."

Roddy was silent for a while, and suddenly he laughed!

His smile looked a little malicious and muttered in a low voice: "What a wonderful era!"

"Oh? Is this your request?" The Crown Prince looked at Nidise who was smiling slightly in front of him and frowned: "Miss Nidise, you really can cause trouble for me."

Nydise still smiled so charmingly and whispered: "Your Highness, this matter is just a matter of ease to you. Would you refuse a friend's request for help?"

Yawen stood up, he walked back and forth a few steps before stopping, staring at Nidise and said in a deep voice: "Is it that simple to bring that batch of goods to the Guangming Continent?"

Nydise sighed: "Your Majesty, you know. I have a lot of business in Roland. But the current situation in Roland really makes me unable to rest assured... If the war begins, the first one who is unlucky will be us, those of powerless merchants... That's why I was forced to do such a move. This time I came here just to clean up the business in Roland and temporarily return it to the Empire of Light, but I don't have the ability to transport it back. Besides, the king has issued a ban on seas, and my fleet cannot go out to sea... It just so happens that you are the commander of the navy. If I don't ask you for this matter, who else can I ask for?"

Yawen still frowned: "But, since it is the order of Your Majesty, I cannot disobey! Miss Nidith, you transport your property back to the Empire of Light. Such a move...huh."

"Your Highness!" Nidise looked a little unhappy: "Do you doubt my friendship with you? Although my business in Roland is not big, I never miss a gold coin every year! The current war situation is urgent, are you just watching your good friend suffer huge losses?"

"Okay!" Yawen hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, and he said slowly: "I guess you will get the news soon. We have reached a peace agreement with your country. In the near future, a large number of warships will be shipped to the Empire of Light, and there will be a navy escorts... I can help you with a little help. At that time, you can transport your property to my fleet and arrive at the Empire of Light smoothly... Miss Nidise, I helped you do this for the sake of our many years of friendship!"

Nidith smiled with satisfaction and immediately said: "Thank you for your generosity! In addition, I know that your country is preparing for the budget funds for the war due to the recent situation. I am willing to donate 500,000 gold coins to your country as a private friend! Please accept a little gift from my friend!"

Yawen glanced at Nidise and suddenly said, "Five hundred thousand gold coins? Hehe... Miss Nidise, I'm starting to be a little curious now. How much property do you have in Roland Continent..."

Nidise smiled without answering.

The crown prince shook his head and smiled and said, "Okay! Since I promised, I will never go back on my word! Miss Nidise, we haven't met for a long time! Please stay in the capital these days for a few more days and let me do my duty as a master... Well, and this Mr. Dark, I heard from Miss Nidise that you are a master of archery, so I must ask you more questions!"

Nidise and Dark looked at each other, Nidise immediately smiled and said, "Of course! Your Highness Yawen, I don't care about playing here for a few more days. Anyway, I don't want to go back immediately now."

"Oh?" Yawen smiled.

"Yes!" Nidise pretended to sigh, and then said loudly in a joke tone: "You don't know, I am being chased by enemies in the Light Continent... I don't dare to go back immediately now."

Yawen only thought she was joking, but just smiled lightly and said nothing.

But Dark glanced at Nidise, with a little helplessness in his eyes - only he and Nidise knew in his heart that what he said just now was no joke.

Because of Nidise's identity, the blood clan of the Light Continent is secretly chasing Nidise. This time, when I came to Roland Continent, I accompanied Nidise to deal with some business matters, and on the other hand, I was also avoiding the blood clan!
