Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

August 9, 301AC.

The day that everyone had been looking forward to finally arrived. Everyone finished breakfast early and walked to the estuary of the Galaxy.

Today they did not have to work, but went to the estuary to participate in the first sacrifice. They also wanted to know what changes would happen to them after the Sea King converted them into Atlanteans.

Of course, what they were looking forward to more was not the conversion of blood, but whether the mythical sea god Godzilla would appear.

The Galaxy runs through the entire Sea King Island, and the estuary in the southeast is the location of this sacrifice.

In the past few days, Jack arranged thousands of people to quickly build a temple of the sea god. Because of the tight time, the temple looks relatively simple.

But it doesn't matter. The water is no longer deep, and the dragon is spiritual. When Godzilla appears, people will automatically ignore the simple temple.

The time of the sacrifice was set at ten o'clock in the morning, and Jack came to the temple of the sea god early to prepare.

Jack attached great importance to this sacrifice, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a good opportunity to deify Jack himself.

Jack is going to rebuild the foundation of modern science and speed up the pace of industrialization, so it is inevitable to enlighten the people.

But enlightenment is not so friendly to feudal society, and ancient society is unequal.

Once people can read and write, they will unconsciously pursue equality and shout the slogan "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species?"

Especially after eating and drinking, humans always like to make trouble for themselves.

So Jack is going to simplify the pyramid from monarch, ministers and people to monarch, officials and people, so as to achieve disguised equality to ease the social contradictions after the enlightenment of people's wisdom.

Simply put, under the monarchy, officials and people are equal before the law.

The monarchy makes laws and implements laws, but does not act within the rules of the law.

To realize this idea, Jack's own monarchy must be deified.

Let the monarchy and theocracy be integrated, the king is the incarnation of God, and is not bound by secular laws.

In the ancient centralized feudal society, monarchs often use the means of fooling the people to make them superstitious, believing that the monarch and his descendants are the natural rulers of the country.

But how to make the people superstitious often uses three methods: deification of race, mystification of person, and sanctification of personality.

However, Jack is not sure whether this method is effective.

But with Godzilla and Korakshu, even if the tree grows crooked, Jack has the ability to repair it.

What's more, Atlantis is an empire built from scratch.

There is still a big difference between the seven kingdoms of Westeros and the free trade city-states of Essos.

"Hiss--"

Korakshu made a dragon roar, and then slowly landed beside Jack.

At this time, Jack was directing the servants to put the three major animals of pigs, cattle and sheep in place, and then personally put the three minor animals of chickens, ducks and fish on the plates.

"Are the mountain fruit plates and noodle fruit plates ready?" Jack asked.

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty. Four plates of different fruits and four plates of different pastries."

Koraxu stared at the three large animals placed in front of him, and it was obvious that he was greedy again.

Jack patted Karakhu's head gently, "Let's go back and have barbecue. Don't try to eat it secretly, otherwise I will let Poseidon peel your skin."

Koraxu shook his head and retracted his gaze, but he was not afraid of Poseidon. After all, he had not seen Poseidon yet. He just listened to Jack's words.

Time passed slowly. At eight o'clock, everyone arrived. Under Newgate's arrangement, they stood quietly in the open space in front of the Temple of Poseidon.

In the last hour, Jack asked everyone below to give a small bowl with half a bowl of water in it.

Everyone looked at the blood water in the bowl curiously. There was red sand-like things in the water.

This thing is of course not Jack's blood, but the dragon dung of Korakshu. When the dragon dung first comes out, it is soft, but as time goes by, it will become as hard as metal.

When the dragon dung is ground into powder and put into water, it will form this kind of red quicksand-like "blood water".

This thing is not the point. After all, the Atlanteans in ancient times made it up, so it doesn't matter whether the "blood water" has any effect.

After ten o'clock, the sacrifice officially began.

Jack appeared in a blue royal robe embroidered with Godzilla.

This is a little different from the traditional golden royal robe, but it is very consistent with the culture of Atlantis.

There will be no awkward feeling after getting used to it.

Jack first read out the prepared sacrificial words, and he used Chinese.

Jack had no other ideas, but simply needed a language that others could not understand, but could make others feel powerful.

Then three incense sticks were lit in the altar.

According to Jack's request, everyone drank the "blood water" and knelt down to worship.

Although the people behind didn't know what was happening, they felt inexplicably solemn and knelt down one after another.

Jack, who was at the front, didn't kneel down, but bowed. In mythology, the Heart of the Ocean and the newly born Godzilla were of the same level.

Then, at Jack's request, everyone kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and then Jack took off his blue imperial robe and came to the altar.

The altar was built close to the shore, nine meters high and three meters wide, with a total of thirty-three steps. There was a half-man-high incense burner on the altar, and the sea was below the altar.

Jack jumped into the sea.

Newgate stepped forward and shouted loudly:

"The emperor is above, shining on the earth."

"The spirit of the sea god, all living things."

"Everyone has his place, no matter now or in the past."

"."

Newgate read it once in Valyrian, and then in the common language to make sure everyone could understand it.

After reading it, Newgate said to everyone: "His Majesty the Sea King has contacted the sea god in the deep sea through sacrifice and the heart of the ocean. It won't be long before everyone can see the sea god."

Newgate was very guilty when he said this. He knew that Jack could breathe underwater, but what about Godzilla?

It can't be that His Majesty himself is wearing a leather suit and doing something tricky, right?

Newgate glanced at Korakshu who was looking east and west, and thought that His Majesty could let Korakshu pretend to be Godzilla from a distance. At least he had a tail, and he couldn't be distinguished from a distance.

Time passed slowly, and soon half an hour passed. Small-scale commotion and discussion began to appear in the crowd.

Many people began to worry. Did His Majesty pretend too much? Did he really think that he had a mythical item like the Heart of the Ocean and drowned in the sea?

They sincerely acknowledged Jack's rule and believed that Jack was a perfect and beloved king.

But they really didn't believe that Jack could breathe in the water and summon the mythical giant Godzilla.

That's right, this is what most people think about this sacrifice. They don't believe that Jack can breathe underwater and summon Godzilla.

In their opinion, although the story of the sea god opening the sky is wonderful, it is just a myth after all.

Whether it is the children of the forest, the ancestors, the Andals or the Gis, they all have their own myths and legends.

For example, the harpy believed by the Gis people, no one has ever seen a living harpy.

Just as Newgate was thinking about it, Korakhu suddenly roared, and then flew into the air very anxiously, and kept roaring.

Everyone was frightened by Korakhu's sudden irritability. They didn't know if it was their illusion, but they actually heard fear from Korakhu's roar.

"Ang——!" The dull roar came, and the sense of ancient times came to the face, making people feel fear.

"Hiss---!" Korakhu screamed in fear, and it felt deadly danger and fear for the first time.
