Chapter 427 Forcing the palace (two in one)

The Logos labored in the sun.

During the busy season of farming, they planted seeds, cultivated, diverted water for irrigation, and built granaries. The hunting teams left the kingdom one after another and embarked on a journey to hunt for prey. The fishing ground is busy, they change the water source, sow the fish seeds, dry the sea salt... Besides these, the rest of the people also have their own jobs, textiles, construction, and King Numirda recruited people to join the expedition and sent them out of the kingdom. To open up new city-states, the whole kingdom is caught in the busyness of labor.

Everything is boring and numb.

The Logos people who used to live comfortably in Nus seem to have forgotten how to live in the past.

People work day and night, and they don't know why they work. Poetry, literature, and music are gradually abandoned, and their tiredness can only be exchanged for food that is barely full.

The land is too barren.

So barren that the population of the elves has not experienced a large-scale growth since the day they landed.

The servants and priests of King Numirda would often visit among the Logos people, and those who represented the king taught other Logos people, which was mixed with praise for King Numirda, as if one day, When the mission is accomplished, God will give them the fat.

The people of Logos obeyed and obeyed without much complaint. Because they were looking forward to milk and honey, their bodies were covered with blood and sweat.

The barren land under their feet has brought them sufferings that no one knows how many ancestors have never experienced.

Dying from exhaustion, starving, dying from expeditions, being executed...the people of Logos have seen more deaths of all kinds here than in the past 200 years combined.

Prince Raleigh inspected the land under his feet.

He walked to the large wheat field, under the dry and loose soil, there were grains of wheat buried. The prince bent down, stretched out his hands to grab the soil, and rubbed it briefly, and the soil clods were broken. The land here is So barren.

Luo Lie looked up, and he saw the Logos people working hard, the stench of sweat swayed in the air, and the farmers hung their heads timidly, welcoming the prince's scrutiny.

"What was life like before...?"

Prince Luo Lie asked the shark behind him in a low voice.

"I have been to Nus many times, and all I know is that the elves sow seeds when spring comes, and then let them grow, and they can harvest directly in the coming year. They not only live on the ears of wheat, but there are inexhaustible resources in the forest. berries, prey.

Other races always think elves are noble because they seldom see elves as farmers. "

Bohan told Prince Raoli what he had seen and heard in Nus.

Luo Lie looked at the cowering farmers and said softly:
"But here, everywhere."

The prince walked through the wheat field, and the peasants knelt down when they saw him approaching. They praised King Numirda in low voices and offered compliments to the prince.

Prince Luo Lie frowned, and he said:
"What do I deserve from you?
I didn't do anything for you, did I? "

After the voice fell, the farmers present fell silent for an instant. They lowered their heads and didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, a farmer raised his head and said:
"You are the son of the Holy King!
God gave the mission to King Numirda, and he will do the same to you in the future. "

Prince Raleigh was stunned.

At this time, another farmer said:

"Prince! How great is your father.

Those priests said that he was the representative of God, and he was the way to salvation.

We cannot lose him now, and if you succeed, we cannot lose you. "

Prince Raleigh was silent.

I don't know how many Logosians, facing the barren land in front of them, pinned all their hopes on King Numirda and on the mission of his father.

King Numirda is not only the king of a country, but also the spiritual foundation of the exiles.

The farmers lowered their heads, folded their hands together, and recited the scriptures, most of which were the words of the "Book of Two Kings" and the content of the Numirda epic.

Prince Luo Lie left here, and he and the mermaid Bohan walked in the kingdom while talking.

Most of the time, he asked Li Lie, and Bohan replied that the eldest son of King Numirda was born in the Kingdom of Logos. He had never seen the Kingdom of Nus, so he was curious about it.

From the mouth of Bohan, a foreigner, the scene in the Kingdom of Nus is so beautifully outlined, and there are more details.

Bohan had more praise for Nuth than Prince Raleigh had ever heard from him.

"Since the Kingdom of Nus is so beautiful, why are my people dissatisfied?"

Prince Raleigh couldn't help asking,

"Why did they leave there and come to this barren place?"

After pondering for a moment, Bohan slowly replied:
"There have been too many stories in this, the differences between the two races, the dispute of belief, the mission of God...

But to put it simply, I think it's probably because...

Mortals... may not be content,
You always want to pursue better, you always want to climb up...

Even if you don't know what the destination is, before you come here, you still place your expectations of the paradise here. "

As he said that, Bo Han thought of something, and continued:
"In this world, among so many races, only you elves have a rational crisis...

why?
Because you are too rich, you don't have to worry about survival, and your spiritual world is so mature, and your life span is so long, so that you will collapse because of reason, and you will fall into crisis because of reason. "

After hearing Bohan's explanation, Prince Luo Lie couldn't help but think about it for a while.

The reason why the Logos people traveled across the ocean and came to this new world under their feet is precisely because they no longer have much pursuit of survival.

"Maybe...the Kingdom of Nus is not corrupt."

Prince Raleigh whispered, expressing his thoughts to Bohan,
"Those priests have exaggerated the fall of Nus to us countless times, and even said that God's punishment will fall on them one day.

Even the Logos people from Nus firmly believed in these words, and firmly believed that my father would eventually fulfill God's mission and receive the promised ecstasy.

But my father... was bewitched. "

Upon hearing this, Bohan continued to ask:
"So... when will King Numirda complete his mission?

What has he been bewitched, so that he has not yet become like King Tertullian..."

Bo Han stopped talking, and did not pursue further.

Even as a merman, he also believes that King Numirda has a mission, and he also wonders why King Numirda still failed to complete the mission.

Is it really as Prince Lie said... Bewitched by something?
Prince Luo Lie and Bo Han tirelessly searched for the answer to the question.

The sage of Logos...what was he bewitched by?

The people loyal to Prince Luo Lie cooperated with him with all their strength, trying to find the answer to the question. King Numirda was bewitched. It was not only the thoughts of Prince Luo Lie, but also the thoughts of countless exiles.

Those exiles have personally experienced the beauty of Nus, even though they did not spurn Nus when they left Nus, they had infinite yearning for the kingdom under their feet, but now... when the cold reality appeared in front of them, they again Nor has the ability to spurn Nuth's depravity.

Along with this, the nostalgia and longing for the homeland of the exiles deepened day by day, as well as the desire to return to the Holy Land.

Because everything he has experienced now is not like the trial that King Numirda claimed, but more like a punishment from God.

Realistic suffering has brought about inner bewilderment and hesitation. Today's Logos people cannot lose Numirda. They worship Numirda as a representative of God, but they also want to find an answer.

But Prince Lie and Bohan also couldn't find the answer.

They can see that the king of Numirda has a lot of things to do every day, and he is worried about the land under his feet every day. He wakes up earlier than the farmers, and handles government affairs piled up. He patrols the kingdom every month to punish those incompetent priests or other officials. , he prayed devoutly to God, presided over every celebration, and offered countless sacrifices to God.

In King Numirda, they couldn't find any signs of being bewitched, nor could they see any slack in him.

His character is undoubtedly a virtuous king.

Even Prince Luo Lie, who was sure that his father was bewitched, could not help but suspect after various investigations...

"My father...was he really bewitched?
He is still so wise, whether it is political affairs or belief, he has never slackened..."

Luo Lie even saw that recently, his father was far more diligent and devout than before, like a craftsman trying to repair something.

As if only so...

God will see his service and piety, and give the fat of the scriptures.

"Perhaps...bewitched a long time ago?"

After going through various investigations, Bohan guessed so.

These words hit Prince Luo Lie's mind like a bolt from the blue.

Now that there is no sign that King Numirda was bewitched, could it be that his father was bewitched long ago?
And that "before".

How long ago?
"God, what was my father bewitched by? So that he strayed from your way?"

Prince Raleigh asked in prayer.

He searched for too long, but he still couldn't find the answer, so he could only turn to God for help.

What was it that bewitched his father?

Are they the gods that King Tertullian saw back then?

Or those souls who died along the way?
Prince Luo Lie believed that there must be some kind of power beyond the reach of mortals that bewitched his father.

And what my father is doing now, the hard work he is doing now, and the pious devotion he is doing today are all like a redemption, like bearing the consequences for his past mistakes.

Gradually seeing the tip of the iceberg, Prince Luo Lie felt that he had to do something.

I must not sit back and watch the people of the tribe go on in a daze.

Prince Luo Lie had hope in his heart, and gradually he had a very bold plan in his heart.

As long as you do something yourself, everything will develop in a better direction, won't it?
..........................................

More than ten years have passed.

In order to have more settlements, King Numirda will hold an expedition every five years and send an expedition team to open up, but the harvest has been very little. This continent is not yet ready to nourish civilization. Most of the places are small villages.

And this time it was almost the same.

The only difference is that Prince Luo Lie participated in this expedition.

He asked his father to lead the clansmen to open up new strongholds, and King Numirda saw it as an opportunity to train his heirs and readily agreed.

Just as other races have no curfews on grand celebrations, this kingdom belonging to the exiles also has no curfews on such days as summit day, rebirth day, sacrifice festival, and holy festival.

At that time, there will be no guards patrolling the lights on the street, and the logos people who have gone through toil will finally have the opportunity to stop and rest, and revel in the night.

Prince Luo Lie had been preparing for that summit day for a long time.

Ascension Day is an ancient festival that has been passed down to the present by the Logos people since ancient times. It is said that on that day, Yar climbed the mountain, finally saw the face of God, listened to the oracle, and became the first prophet in the world .

On that day, poems about the prophet Yar will be sung everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the priests will pray all night for this and offer their devout faith to God.

At the same time, on that day, the expedition teams who went on expeditions to open up new city-states will also return to the kingdom.

Thinking of the approaching royal city, Prince Luo Lie slowly clenched his hands.

As the leader of this expedition, he is deeply loved by his soldiers. He wears the same clothes as them, carries the same luggage, hunts the same beasts with the same spear, and even kills the same beasts in the villages established by the expedition. farming.

Although only five years were but a fraction of the long lifespan of the Elves, their soldiers loved him more than King Numirda far away.

At night, the expedition team camped on the coast outside the king's city, and they were only one day away from the king's city.

In the middle of the night, the merman Bohan walked out of the waves and came to the camp of the expedition team.

Prince Luo Lie received him, and he found that, compared with elves who are not easy to age, time has left more traces on mermaids.

"Do you really want to do this? List the princes."

After exchanging pleasantries, Bohan asked slowly.

Prince Luo Lie looked firmly and said:
"For this day, I have prepared too much, and my people have waited too long!
We can't wait any longer, tomorrow I will get an answer from my father! "

Long before Prince Luo Lie joined the expedition team, Bohan learned of Prince Luo Lie's plan. As a mermaid, he has always won the trust of Luo Lie.

Forcing the palace...

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the return of the expedition team, taking advantage of the summit day when the curfew was lifted, he forced his father into the palace!

He had to know, from his father's mouth, what had bewitched the sage of Logos!
