Chapter 425 The Saint of Logos (Two in One)

Thirty years passed in a flash.

Pastures, fishing grounds, mills, and other facilities have been built. Countless trees have been cut down under slash-and-burn cultivation, leaving an empty farmland, canals have been dug, sea salt has been dried, and the people of Logos have finally lived a life that is not considered rich. But they lived a stable life. A stone altar rose from the ground toward the holy land. Several exquisite murals of prophets were drawn on it, and four sacred scriptures were inscribed on the stone tablet, interpreting the belief of this race that has gone through thousands of years.

The Logos people respected Numirda as king, knelt down facing the holy every day, and lived a life of praying to God.

The royal city has been gradually perfected. Low houses are row upon row, and the streets and alleys are of different sizes. In stark contrast to it is the tall and splendid royal palace. There is a statue of King Numirda standing in front of the long steps. He kneels on one knee while holding up his scepter. This gesture symbolizes the full power God gave him to rule the kingdom. This glorious palace is the tallest building on the ground. It seems to be the main body of the entire royal city, the soul of the kingdom.

King Numirda looked down from a height, and he saw the Law Garden full of wheat. In front of the stele engraved with the sacred scriptures, a group of young priests newly selected into the Law Garden whispered the content of the scriptures. They put their hands together, Looks very pious.

The law garden is the soul and spirit of the elves. Since the time of the prophet Yar, the ancient priests have wandered in the golden and full ears of wheat to think about the laws of the world, understand the truth of the world, and study the ultimate truth, which is theological. The origin is also the place where rationality gathers.

King Numirda slowly descended from the height, and accompanied by his guards, he came to the law garden.

"The great king, the holy king chosen by God!"

"We will always obey your scepter, bow before your crown, and praise God's grace together."

As the prayer ended, the priests, led by the high priest, knelt down on one knee in front of the king, praising his greatness and God's arrangement together.

King Numirda faced the crowd and smiled with satisfaction. He praised the piety of the young priests a few words, and the latter showed ecstatic expressions and kissed the wheat on the ground excitedly, as if pleasure.

This was extremely rare in the former Nus Kingdom.

This is not a natural tradition of the Logosians.

The barren environment has created the supreme worship of kingship. King Numirda is not only regarded as a new Deltrian, but also gradually regarded as the representative of God in the world. He is called the "Holy King" and stands in the At the top of the pyramid, the priests became the "angels" guarding the throne, and the rest of the Logosians were undoubtedly a solid foundation. They were silent, obedient, and prostrated under the reverence for King Numirda.

"Priests, we are going to have a new law code."

King Numirda said slowly,
"This is a kingdom bestowed by God, so this code is also a code bestowed by God."

All the priests who participated in the codification of the law nodded one after another. They maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, and praised the wisdom of King Numirda in unison.

They knew what the code contained.

At the beginning of the code, it stated the supremacy of King Numirda—the holy king chosen by God, and his kingship endowed by God. After that, it was stated that the code was the embodiment of the law and opposed the code Those who are enemies of faith and rejected by God.

King Numirda needed this code to completely consolidate his status and achievements at the legal level.

The reason is that he is keenly aware that,

Although this new kingdom, the Kingdom of Logos, got rid of the ignorant stage at the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom, its development has reached its limit and stagnated.

The new world under the feet is too barren, whether it is food or water, or even trees, stones and other resources are too limited, and the Logos who lost the assistance of the narwhals cannot develop to the bottom of the sea. This is a closed world. It is a kingdom isolated from the outside world.

King Numirda had vaguely foreseen the turmoil that would come sooner or later.

....................................

Bohan walked in the streets and alleys.

More than 100 years later, the mermaid messenger is no longer young, and has recognized his position - he is a witness, a narrator who has almost no sense of existence.

It was the evening prayer time, among the row upon row of low houses, the Logos people knelt on the ground and kept reciting the prayers in the "Book of Two Kings". In this epic written by the priests, the king of Numirda is often put together with the gods, in the spirit of being given a mission. The identity of the holy king appeared, he created countless brilliance, established a great country different from Nus, and became a king with absolute wisdom and magnificent wisdom. Under God's arrangement, he and his descendants will hold The kingship bestowed by the gods ruled the Kingdom of Logos until the next ten thousand years.

In that epic, there are many passages that Bohan has never heard of.

Like miracles in shadows, angels appearing in storms, thorns burning out of thin air.
He witnessed with his own eyes that the Logos people came to this continent under many difficulties, and was reused by King Numirda as an assistant to manage the merman. He is the person who knows King Numirda best in this kingdom.

That is why he could see that many passages in that epic were hearsay, many praises were fearful, Numirda was portrayed as an infallible king, and the Logos lived a life of worship. The life of the saint.

"God... Is this your arrangement?"

Bohan murmured to himself.

Under the influence of many years, he no longer doubts the mission of King Numirda. Although the King Numirda in the epic does not match what he sees in reality, King Numirda is still a king and a king who has been given a mission. .

Praising day and night, the Logos people gradually became...unable to lose this king, unable to lose their "King Deltullian", King Numirda was integrated into their beliefs and traditions as a holy king.

"God...the land you gave them is so easy to mold people...even the elves are molded to learn to crawl..."

Bohan murmured in a voice only he could hear.

More than 100 years have passed, and the hatred of the past has long since disappeared, replaced by a swamp of confusion.

The merman messenger fell into this kind of confusion, not only did he not get out of it, but he got deeper and deeper.

Those exiles voluntarily followed King Numirda, they left the depraved Nus in their eyes, and embarked on another journey of seeking God, just for a new paradise.

But until now, Xanadu has not yet been established.

Kingdoms are isolated, but isolated from the outside world... doesn't always mean Xanadu.

After all, hell is also cut off from the outside world, isn't it?

"Have they all forgotten?"

As a half-bystander, Bohan couldn't see the truth under the fog,

"God... What is the mission you gave King Numirda?"

Is all of this arranged by God?
....................................

Under the sound of praise, the new law code was established.

The holy king of the Kingdom of Logos—Numirda, people worship this supreme king, praising his appearance and the arrangement of God, as if under the rule of this absolutely wise king, the Kingdom of Logos is the real paradise.

With the new code came another king who was dethroned.

At the beginning of the establishment of the new kingdom, King Numirda followed the tradition inherited from King Tertullian and established two kings in the kingdom. As the authority of King Numirda was infinitely elevated, the latter gradually became a kind of Dispensable spiritual symbol.

But now, this spiritual symbol has been rejected by the new law, and the entire Logos people, from civilians to priests, have only one king—Numirda.

The exiles feared King Numirda infinitely. When he appeared in the streets and alleys, almost all Logos people would kneel down and chant words of praise like scriptures.

Bohan witnessed all this and recorded it from another angle.

After the abolition of the double kingship, King Numirda made a throne out of marble and covered it with gold, and for his eldest son, he made a seat of succession out of gold thread wood and wrapped it in silver. He ordered the priests to write an epic about the eldest son, And the name taboo is also inscribed on the code.

King Numirda held a grand celebration for the new law code. In the name of God, he made the Logos people bear a heavy yoke and do hard work. People served Numirda as if they were serving God.

The celebration is no longer a celebration, but another kind of labor.

In the palace, Bohan was doing clerical work for Numirda. In his spare time, he wrote down what he had seen and heard for more than 100 years.

The hands of the former mermaid messenger trembled a little, he was already old, and the lifespan of the mermaids was not as long as that of the logos, they were only half of the elves.

On the papyrus, every time Bohan writes, he has to think about the words and sentences for a long time.

It's a...his own history book.

Since ancient times, King Jaresto has asked people to record history and the greatness of God, and thus the "Book of Kings and Prophets" was born. From then on, almost every generation of Logos kings will compile the Even if their history books are not regarded as sacred classics, their elegant words and accurate descriptions are still outstanding.

Bohan knew that King Numirda would have his own history books, and the priests would do their best to praise his achievements and compliment his greatness.

That will be regarded as the official history of this kingdom by future generations, and it cannot be doubted or questioned.

But Bohan felt that the words and sentences he wrote would be more real than the history recorded by the priests.

It took nearly half the night for the mermaid Bohan to write a full three pages of papyrus, which recorded the big and small stories before and after the establishment of the new law code. In his writing, King Numirda was not perfect. The king who entrusted the mission showed a treacherous and cunning side. He acted decisively and cruelly. He did not hesitate to depose another king as a commoner. After many days, the king died of illness in his own house for no reason. .

"The great...King of Numirda...the holy king chosen by the gods..."

Facing the papyrus in his hand, Bohan whispered to himself.

As a half bystander, he clearly saw that the exiles did not get the paradise they wanted.

But in the sound of praise day and night, in the worship of the Holy King, everyone was repeatedly told that they had received the grace of God.

The barren new world has taught the proud elves to obey.

"God...what exactly is the mission you entrusted to King Numirda?
Wasn't he... another Tertullian king? "

Countless confusion invaded Bohan.

He sat down in the dark, with his head down, and fell into a daze, and a deep sense of powerlessness invaded him.

a long time.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Bohan's thoughts were interrupted, he sighed, stood up, and opened the door.

Seeing the person coming, the merman Bohan hurriedly took a step back, then knelt down on one knee.

"Prince Luo Lie...how do you..."

It was Prince Luo Lie, the heir of the kingdom, who came to disturb Bohan in the middle of the night.

He is young, enthusiastic, full of sense of justice, and has a strong will like his father. At the same time, he is gentle and approachable, not only deeply loved by his father, but also praised by ordinary people.

Looking at Prince Lie in front of him, Bo Han was full of confusion.

He didn't know why the heir would visit at this curfew time.

"Please get up, Sir Bohan."

Prince Raleigh said, he squeezed into the room holding the torch.

Bohan stood up and asked in confusion again:

"Prince Lie, it's very late...why are you..."

Prince Luo Lie turned his head and said:

"Just call me Luo Lie."

However, he did not answer Bohan's question, but leaned on the light of the torch and looked at the papyrus on the desk.

Bohan was a little nervous for a moment, but he didn't dare to go up to stop him.

Flipping through the text on the papyrus hastily, Li Lie asked:

"Don't you use lights to write? I couldn't see any light source before I came here."

"Luo Lie... You know, we mermaids live in the deep sea..."

Burhan explained it this way.

Luo Lie touched the papyrus above, and he whispered:

"I heard from others that you are compiling a history book... Now it seems that it is true.

Mr. Bohan, the father you wrote is different from the father written by the priests..."

The merman Bohan was very nervous for a moment, and the polite smile on his face froze.

But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just listen to Luo Lie say:
"The father you wrote about is more real."

"Thank you for the compliment,"

Bohan paused, and asked for the third time:
"So, what are you here for?"

At this moment, under the reflection of the torch, Prince Luo Lie slowly turned his head, with a trace of sadness in his voice,
He said slowly:

"Bohan, my father... seems to be bewitched."
