Life as a Landlord in Global Games
Chapter 118: A Divided Country
Outside the Sand Temple, two people suddenly appeared on the golden sand.
"It's so dangerous. If Grandpa High Priest says a few more words, my father will probably banish me from Anas City."
The little prince named Lou Mianjing patted his chest, looking frightened.
In this country, apart from the will of King Anas, the high priest has the greatest power. He can even decide the life or death of a royal family member.
Rather than saying that divine power is under the power of the king, it is better to say that divine power is only under the will of King Anas. After all, almost all the extraordinary beings who maintain the order of the kingdom come from the Sand of Time Temple.
People's reverence for the temple is far greater than the royal power.
"Let me take you to see the Shebenaro Garden first. It was built by my father and my mother."
The little prince made a suggestion, and Jiang Ke naturally would not refuse to accept it.
only……
"Isn't Shisha Temple in the city? Why is it surrounded by desert?"
Jiang Ke looked around and said doubtfully.
"This is the Consciousness Sand Realm. It is only used to prevent people with ulterior motives from approaching the temple." Lou Mienjing motioned for Jiang Ke to follow him, and the two of them stepped into the seemingly boundless desert one after another.
The moment she stepped into the sea of sand, Jiang Ke felt an inexplicable fluctuation. The scenery in front of her changed, from a desert to a road paved with jade and gold.
The road is flat and wide, with green leafy plants swaying in the wind on both sides, and the breeze brings a cool breath.
Compared with the hot desert just now, it is completely different.
"This is the way to know the truth. Only those with a truly pious and calm mind can walk on this path and reach the Shisha Temple."
Following the direction pointed by the little prince, Jiang Ke saw the temple standing behind it and... the golden river surrounding it.
Rivers like streamers surround the temple, and gold, jade, and various treasures flow in the rivers. But among them, white skeletons can also be seen floating.
Those are clearly human skeletons!
Jiang Ke was silent for a moment and asked aloud:
"Then what will happen if you are someone with an impure heart?"
Lou Mianjing was walking leisurely in front. When he heard Jiang Ke's question, he just said in a nonchalant tone:
"You said those are just inferior third-class people. All they long for is the legendary treasures of Shisha Temple and the blessings of gods.
They cannot set foot on this road, so they can only travel through the vast sand of consciousness. A very few lucky ones will wash away the filth in their hearts in the sea of sand.
Successfully entered the Time Sand Temple.
But the rest can only be buried in the sea of sand and become part of the sand realm of consciousness."
He paused, but kept walking, and his tone was a little helpless:
"They always long for God's gifts, and all they want is to get something for nothing.
It is clear that we are now in the "second generation" and the country is in need of people's efforts, but we will only place our hopes on Wei Li.
It’s so stupid.”
Listening to his hateful tone that he wanted to kill all those people, Jiang Ke asked again:
"What is the second generation?"
She had seen this in the memory of the scholar named Su Ying. Although she felt that it was quite impressive, she had no more information about it.
Jiang Ke thinks this thing should be very important.
"The second generation is the direction of this era predicted by the high priest of the temple: natural disasters of war, ignorance and famine will spread, and the world will gradually move towards the last era.
That is, the era of struggle.
In this era, the entire world will perish in war and destruction, and then the next era will begin in the ashes of the world."
Lou Mianjing answered all questions and even added:
"My father sent the High Priest and General Zhi Ge to the outside world to find treasures that can take the Era Roulette directly past the second generation and the struggle generation, and directly into the next era.
Legend has it that at that time, people did not need to work or fight, food and mead could be obtained by just thinking about it, and people's life span would reach a thousand years.
This era is called the Age of Consummation.”
If you look at the function of that card... this may not be difficult. Isn't this the original paradise created by the Star God?
With that endless energy, people really don't have to do anything but have fun.
But...why didn't King Anas use it?
Just when Jiang Ke was confused, Lou Mianjing seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying softly:
"I don't think my father would use it even if he got it."
"Ah? How do you know?"
Jiang Ke raised his eyebrows and said.
Lou Mianjing didn't know what was wrong with him. He thought Jiang Ke looked very friendly and had the urge to tell her everything.
But in a trance, he saw golden bands of light extending from the sky in all directions. He suddenly stirred and swallowed what he wanted to say, and remained silent until he left this road.
Although Jiang Ke was strange, it was already a very strange thing to come here. She could accept it if it was any weirder... so she didn't ask any more questions.
The road has come to an end.
After leaving the gold-paved avenue, the two of them truly arrived at Anas City.
Jiang Ke, who had no idea that she had lost important information, looked around curiously. This was an exotic scene she had never seen before.
Everywhere feels novel.
On both sides of the neat road paved with stone slabs are various well-planned buildings. Residential houses and shops are mixed together. It does not look chaotic at all, but has the atmosphere of life.
The people here almost all have high noses and deep eyes, and their facial features are very three-dimensional. There are almost no ugly ones. Every body shape is quite excellent.
They are either selling small commodities or busy making a living.
Compared to the miraculous buildings and mysterious high priests he saw in the Sand Temple just now, Jiang Ke indeed felt that this place was more comfortable.
but,
Jiang Ke also noticed keenly: There are indeed many people selling various spices and meats here, but almost no one sells food.
"Jiang Ke, the high priest has told me that you have food and other supplies that we urgently need. If you want to gain merit, you must first go with me to the Shebenaro Garden I just mentioned."
"I thought it was a garden. Where is that?"
"It used to be a garden, but now it is a place where poor people gather. Didn't the high priest tell you that merit can only be accumulated by people praying to the Shisha Temple?"
"That's not true. The high priest told me to let me stay for a few days and then send a priest to count the supplies I brought."
"Grandpa High Priest is right, but your supplies still need to be distributed to the people, and then they have to go to Shisha Temple to pray before it can be regarded as your merit."
"...This is really complicated."
"If it's something else, there's no need for it, but for the thing you want... you can only use this method."
Jiang Ke listened and felt very, very strange.
Just now, I saw that he didn't care about the common people at all, but now he actually said that he had to rely on public opinion to get out the treasure. This extremely fragmented social environment made Jiang Ke really more and more curious about what kind of country this is.
