Realm of Power

"Have you decided?" The black-haired emperor had a complicated look on his face, and his eyes fell on the pretty face of the Order's female pope, Potamia, whose fair face seemed to be dyed with a layer of moonlight.

"The moment I left the Order Country, I had already decided. Although I don't know what lies ahead, at least I am countless times luckier than the ancestors of the Order Country eighty years ago." Putamia's mouth curled up slightly. With a smile, there was no denying, and the beauty of the pair was gradually replaced by the deep love of the sea. They stared at the black-haired emperor without blinking, returning his fiery gaze, and showed their inner feelings to the emperor without any reservation, which was better than a thousand words. Thousands of words, endless love words

He was not surprised that the emperor guessed what he was thinking. Following the guesses he made during his trip to South Héro, the descendant of the Holy City had a vague feeling that the black-haired emperor was definitely the same person who founded the Holy City. There is something related to the prophet Ferran in the city, or they are the same kind of people. Does the return of the prophet mean...? Putamia's delicate body trembled, her eyes looked at the dazzling stars in the sky, her high and attractive chest The ups and downs became even greater, and my mind seemed to be focused on the sky. Let the wild moonlight fall on her body, and the finishing touch with this figure and posture is beyond beautiful.

Unlike other ordinary people who attribute the empire's strength to the ability of the imperial army to conquer and fight, and to the fact that the empire has an unrivaled military god emperor, as the leader of the Order State, Potamia is more aware of the empire's strength. The military is just a facade. The true source of the empire's strength is the new system and new model established by the man in front of him in the empire.

As for this model, Pudamia only discovered in the original records of the Holy City discovered during this trip to the south that what Prophet Ferran did in the Holy City more than a hundred years ago was almost exactly the same, abolishing the nobility and The status distinction of civilians grants the status of all Chinese people. As for the development model of the country, the first step is to establish the dominant position of the merchant system, rather than the later religious order model.

Putamia hesitated for a moment, then bit her lips with her pretty rosy face and white jade teeth and said, "Your Majesty may not know that the Holy City built by Prophet Ferran was actually not the Holy City that was later known, but A city also built on a merchant system "

The black-haired emperor's eyes flashed with surprise. In fact, he also felt that Cornonia, where the Holy City is located, is indeed very suitable for commercial development.

The entire eastern inland sea is an important transportation area connecting the western continent. Whether it is sea transportation or land transportation, it is the middle hub connecting the eastern and western continents. Thousands of miles of desert areas and the great wilderness in the north combine the western continent's Obarro and Zhongbia in the Eastern Continent and the Central District were separated by the Gulf of Aden. The three major regions at that time had very little exchanges. However, they were able to establish the Holy City as the transportation hub of the Eastern and Western Continents at a glance, and left a large blank space for the Holy City's later expansion.

The black-haired emperor sighed inwardly. Sure enough, Prophet Ferran did not know the three major regions at all like others. Instead, he had known the locations of the three continents for a long time, so he vigorously developed commerce by occupying commercial transportation arteries. , the Holy City has just gained a foothold in Cornelini. With the booming business, the influence of the Holy City can also expand rapidly. So what happened to the religion of the Holy City in the later period?

"The religious order model was established after the Holy City priests gradually took control of power after the disappearance of Prophet Ferran." Seeing the emperor's confusion, Putamia took the initiative and said, "The early Holy City was indeed a commercial capital, not a commercial capital. To be honest, when I discovered this, I was dumbfounded in the Temple of Heaven. I also didn’t know until then that the Temple of the Order Kingdom was actually just like the Sky Temple. It hid too many secrets. It was in line with the Temple of Heaven. Leave what you need , everything that did not conform was destroyed, and the original real holy city was gradually deified. At the same time, all books that were not in line with the purpose of the temple were ordered to be destroyed. Even Prophet Ferran, the temple was gradually no longer mentioned internally, except for the real At the top, there are very few people who know that the prophet's name is Ferran. Most people only know that the holy light can illuminate more than ten miles ahead, but how many people know who the prophet Ferran is. All they know is the temple priesthood. This is The current situation at that time”

Regarding the actions of the Holy City, Potamia smiled bitterly and was not able to comment on the actions of his predecessors, but said that he could understand that the temple could not announce to the outside world that the prophet Ferran who founded the Holy City was actually a person who went around soliciting people to do business. A businessman, not a god to be worshipped!

The Temple is not righteous, let alone orthodox. On this point, Potamia's long-standing confusion was all cleared up during this trip to the south. No wonder there were many inconsistencies in the original Temple records, especially about the eighty-year history. The recent incident in the South of Héro further highlighted the justice shown by the Temple side, saying that the South Héro branch had betrayed the Holy City and the Temple, and even pursued the Temple priests, which ultimately led to the destruction of the entire South of Héro. Luo's divine punishment,

However, the reason why the Southern Branch is acting like this is extremely vague. The blame is that the Southern Branch is ambitious and has not obeyed the instructions of the Holy City for a long time. There is no mention of what the sacrificial group did after arriving in the south. Fortunately, the temple in charge of records in the South Héro branch is still there.

Potamia let out a long sigh, her voice full of endless regret, her beautiful eyes covered with a melancholy look, and she said softly, "The Temple of Heaven is different from the southern branch, and has a neutral status, otherwise it would not have become a thorn in the side of the Eero royal family in the north. , and the Temple of Heaven itself is a full-time record. It was established by the most loyal disciples who followed Prophet Feran. In terms of identity and orthodoxy, it far exceeds that controlled by the temple priests in the later period. The Holy City, as recorded in the Temple of Heaven, is not a holy city, but a dangerous place abandoned by the prophet. The Temple of Heaven mentioned that the prophet bluntly stated for more than a hundred years that there is a huge danger buried under the Holy City, which is enough to destroy everything. It is dangerous, so it is necessary to leave the Holy City. The Holy City is the first half of Prophet Ferran's life. The Temple of Heaven records the traces of Prophet Ferran after he left the Holy City, which finally ended when Prophet Ferran disappeared in the Sea of ​​Mist."

"As for that incident eighty years ago, the records of the Temple of Heaven should still be objective." Putamia turned away and said calmly, "After Prophet Ferran disappeared, some people returned to the Holy City, and there were also The sixty-seven disciples and followers who followed chose to settle down in the south of Elero, waiting for the prophet's return and establishing the Temple of Heaven. These people established the prototype of the southern branch, using the eyes of God left by the prophet Ferran and the Ruins discovered south of Hérault"

"These people gradually developed another model in the southern part of Hérault that is completely different from the temple civilization in the northern Holy City. Different from the northern Holy City that constantly excavates the ruins under the Holy City in order to highlight its own miracles, the southern branch More willing to follow the will of Prophet Phelan and pursue self-development route, turning the so-called ruins into huge projects that can be used, not just decorations for glory. The results are self-evident. Although the holy city in the north has become a sacred city, and although it is regarded as a city of miracles, it is We must rely on contributions of various materials from all directions to produce Maintain, over time, the priests in the northern holy city have naturally become accustomed to being superior to others and despising everything. Even the southern branch, in their eyes, is just a group of country bumpkins who only know how to farm. The result of this lack of foundation is that the holy The city collapsed, and no one around was willing Extending a helping hand, the wanted priests fled to the south in a hurry. "" However, after arriving at the southern branch, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the southern branch, the priests raided the southern Hérault branch, not only snatching away the information that controlled the large river. The Eye of God, and even want to use the Eye of God to control the Sea of ​​Mist."

"Control the Sea of ​​Mist!"

A cold light flashed in the black-haired emperor's eyes, and he let out a heavy exclamation. He guessed correctly. This sea of ​​mist was definitely not a natural phenomenon. The final destination of Prophet Ferran indeed represented the Holy City. The biggest secret! The scope of the Sea of ​​Mist is four to five hundred miles. If the things covered by the Sea of ​​Mist are so big, it would not be described as shocking. In the mind of the black-haired emperor, it is natural to imagine an extremely huge thing. , a huge aircraft hundreds of miles away was hanging above his head, and he couldn't help but shudder. Such a large aircraft can already be called a space fortress level!

"It's hard to say whether the Sea of ​​Mist is a land-based kingdom of God, but it is definitely an extremely powerful weapon. If something happens to the Holy City, then the Sea of ​​Mist may be the second Holy City."

Seeing the black-haired emperor losing his composure, Potamia finally burst into a smile. In an instant, she could not help but reveal her excitement. A pair of delicate hands lifted up the long hair on her cheeks and said in a deep voice, "The first generation of the temple is the prophet Ferran's." Assistant, followed the prophet and participated in many incredible explorations. For this The understanding of the world is not under the prophet. Prophet Ferran's abandonment of the Holy City was regarded as a betrayal by this assistant. This assistant who later seized power recorded these words of Prophet Ferran in the secret files of the temple, and It was also mentioned that the key to opening the Sea of ​​Mist is the Eye of God, and the Sea of ​​Mist can be moved!

"The sacrificial group took a desperate risk and activated the God's Eye to summon the Sea of ​​Mist. Everything was going smoothly, but one of the God's Eyes exploded during the control, causing the area to collapse and the large rivers to suddenly change their course. It is said that many of the extremely deep water in the rivers were instantly destroyed. Evaporate, large amounts of water mist rise, and then Heavy rains lasted for three months, and floods were raging. Because of the floods, no one noticed that the sea of ​​mist originally located on the southern coast was like a roaring carriage that had started but could not brake, from overhead, inland in these three days. The areas are close to each other by a full three hundred and fifty miles."

"Three hundred and fifty miles!" The black-haired emperor couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. A huge object hundreds of miles away passed overhead, and it wasn't just a roar of thunder. At this speed, it wouldn't take half a month to cross the entire Erault area.

"Yes, three hundred and fifty miles, an average of more than a hundred miles a day. This is what the Temple of Heaven recorded during the disaster. It should not be wrong." Putamiya nodded solemnly with a pretty face, and the trip to the Temple of Heaven It played a huge role for her. The records of the Holy City and the records of the Heavenly Temple were finally combined decades later. She spent four days copying down the records of the Holy City in her memory and used them in exchange for the Heavenly Temple. The records of the temple and the historical truth shocked the female pope more and more, and she became even more difficult to extricate herself.

"If you follow the normal speed, you can reach the summoning place in three days. However, because the Eye of God failed, the Sea of ​​Mist finally hovered over the Luoshan Mountains one hundred and seventy miles north of the coastline. The yellow sand originated from Luoshan Mountains. The mountains then expanded northward, eventually causing most of the southern part of the Hérault to become a barren land, and the southern part of the Hérault was not allowed to grow. Although they did not move north, many descendants of the original disciples of the Prophet Ferran still chose to stay in the south and wait. The descendants of these people eventually became the princes of southern Eero, although the years have made these southern princes and families forget to wait for the prophet's return. mission, but the entrustment to protect the Temple of Heaven was still passed down, and the Southern Alliance was established because of this!

"And now, according to the observation of Tianmiao, in the eighty years after the disaster, the Sea of ​​Mist has been returning to its original location. Especially in the past two months, the speed of the Sea of ​​Mist has been intensifying. Just yesterday, the position of the Sea of ​​Mist was It has moved twenty miles, and just now, didn't His Majesty notice that stars can already be seen here, which means that the Sea of ​​Mist has begun to deviate from the coastline. The Tianmiao predicts that the Sea of ​​Mist will reach the sea in ten days at the latest. Will leave the seaport location "Pu Damia slowly turned away from her delicate body, returned to her previous divine posture, and said calmly, "Your Majesty's army is waiting for you. The naval warships even reached Kentam's house in the south. The nearest one is only fifty miles away from the seaport. Although it is still unable to I know what His Majesty wants to do, but I think that the Empire has invested so much power in the southern part of Hero, and even supported a pro-Empire force to take power. Apart from the Gulf of Aden, the home base of the Aden people, there should be nothing that can be seen in His Majesty's eyes. "

"No wonder you keep looking up at the stars?" The black-haired emperor narrowed his eyes into a thin line.

"The stars seem to be eternal, and they still have an end. I just wonder, if the sea of ​​mist is moving, then the sky above us is also moving. The return of the prophet may not be a lie, but the way of return is different. "Pudamia has a beautiful face, her lips parted, as if she had exhausted all her strength, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she suddenly leaned into the arms of the black-haired emperor, listening to her showdown style with a voice full of musical beauty. The black-haired emperor couldn't help but confess There was a tremor, and he resisted the urge to hold her in his arms. Just as he was about to speak, Potamia suddenly took out two fingers, pressed them on his lips, shook his head lightly, and said softly, "No need to speak, that's it." Just hold me, even if it's only for a minute, no Blame me for being too direct, because I don't know if there will be another chance to meet." Putamia's lips became hot and soft, and she picked out the jade hand on his neck, and the black-haired emperor's nose was full of Putamia's hair. and the fragrant scent of her delicate body.

Putamiya pressed her cheek against his and gasped softly, "There is a secret document about the Eye of God in the Red Dragon Palace in the Gulf of Aden. If possible, please bring it back for me!"

The keyboard of my laptop was broken and I had to send it back to the factory for repairs, which took three days.
