Chapter 428 What Bewitched You? ! (two in one)

For the Logos race, the significance of Ascension Day is incomparable to other festivals, and its weight is almost equal to that of Rebirth Day.In ancient times, just because Arr climbed the mountain and got the oracle, the Logos escaped from the first rational crisis, and the world's first prophet was born.

The priests began to prepare as early as one month before the summit day. They wrote all the thoughts and knowledge they had gained in the year on papyrus in the Law Garden, and held three sessions under the witness of King Numirda. A grand sacrificial ceremony.

The first one is held at noon on the square in front of the palace, the second one is at dusk, and the last one is inside the palace. This is a sacrifice that only the king and priests participate in, and it is also the most important. At that time, the priests will throw the papyrus into the fire, and the king of Numirda will kneel facing the sacred scriptures, pray to God with absolute humility, and beg for the promised fat.

The night of summit day.

King Numirda looked at the busy people in the palace. The maids were still desperately cleaning away the dust in the hall before the sacrifice. The priests standing aside either bowed their heads in meditation, or repeatedly recited prayers, and assumed the responsibility of the guard of honor. The guards surrounded the palace from the outside to the inside, stationed on both sides of the stairs, and they had been standing for nearly half a day.

Almost everyone here is busy for the most important sacrifice of the year, and they have no complaints or regrets.

In the palace, everyone exhausted all their energy for this sacrifice.

Because this is not just a sacrifice, but also a begging to the gods.

The Logos people left the paradise-like kingdom of Nus and left here, only for a better country, for the richness in the scriptures.

But until now, people have gotten nothing.

King Numirda touched the throne under him, and in the center of the palace, a stone tablet engraved with sacred classics stood quietly and solemnly. The piety of the ancient times seemed to come to the Logos people through small words, allowing them to share with them The ancestors worshiped the same god.

Looking at those steles, Numirda recalled the words of the "Book of Two Kings".

When King Tertullian led his people across the sea, the gods set off a storm in front of them, and the magnificent figure appeared in front of them, forcing Tertullian to submit to the gods several times.

The gods said: "We will be your new gods, and you should worship them!"

King Tertullian refuted their words, even though the gods punished them with thunder, they were still indifferent, and at the last moment he still whispered in his dying,
【"Lord, I only believe in You..."】

After that, God showed His great power and performed miracles, turning King Alesto into a swan, leading narwhals to quell the storm, and finally mended King Tertullian's body without even a single hair. Did not fall.

King Numirda sat on the throne, dazed.

His pet venomous snake is coiled around his wrist, his head is nestled down, his eyes are closed tightly, and he seems to be sleeping soundly.

The poisonous snake slept soundly. It was not the same poisonous snake as before, but a descendant of the poisonous snake that King Numirda first tamed.

King Numirda murmured to himself:

"Am I really another Tertullian?

Lord...have I done enough to make up for my mistakes? "

Caught in the busy palace, no one noticed King Numirda's words to himself. If anyone heard it, they would lose their blood and kneel down in panic, covering their ears, desperately throwing these words out of their minds. back.

These words are too terrible.

what does it meanIt means that the sage king of Logos is doubting himself. The king with absolute wisdom and grand wisdom suspects that he has committed a mistake. The king who they regard as a god wants to atone for his sins like an ordinary person.

That was enough to make the Logos people of this kingdom collapse in their faith.

King Numirda's eyes were slackened, and his consciousness fell into a burst of nothingness, which he has been doing for the past few years.

He is much weaker than before, and now he is more than 400 years old, which is the middle age of an elf, but his spirit has entered old age ahead of schedule, and under the perennial fatigue, the kingdom under his feet has almost exhausted his efforts.

In that chest cavity, there is a heart that is struggling in despair and is gradually dying.

King Numirda became more and more at a loss. He used to be brilliant for his achievements, but now he no longer has them. He once believed in his mission, but now they are all gone, leaving him with only endless regrets.

"Every mistake... has consequences..."

When King Numirda whispered this sentence, the maids in the palace retreated, the priests were ready to sacrifice, and the guards of honor stood upright, everything was ready for this grand sacrifice.

King Numirda came back to his senses, he stopped being confused, stood up from the throne solemnly, and greeted the sacrifice of begging for fat from the gods.

The poisonous snake was awakened by King Numirda's action. It quickly climbed down, nestled on the throne, raised its head, and hissed out the snake's letter.

The priests went up to meet him, and King Numirda took off the crown from his head and gave it to the high priest, and one of the priests presented him with a pure white shawl embroidered with thorns.

King Numirda came to the center of the palace, facing the burning brazier and the altar, and knelt on the ground, his cloudy and majestic eyes reflected the stone tablet in front of him.

There are braziers for lighting and heating on all sides of the palace, and the priests stand in front of them and stand across the braziers.

"at first,
Heaven and earth parted in darkness,

then,

God came to an age when nothing in the world had a name yet. "

Following the loud and pious voice of the high priest, the other priests prayed loudly. They looked up at the solemn stone tablet with great awe.

The high priest lit the papyrus in the law garden, and the sound of crackling fire echoed in the palace, and someone knocked the big bell above the palace, offering a bit of solemnity for this sacrifice.

"God said:"

"You were not born to be beasts."

"The king asked:"

"If we're not going to be beasts, what are we going to do?"

The priests led the way and chanted aloud devoutly:
"God said:"

"Be yourself,

Raise up your kingdom! "

Those are all words from the sacred scriptures. The pious voices gathered together, loud and solemn. King Numirda lowered his head and slowly recited his own prayers.

"I, Numirdah, reign over Logos in our country."

"Lord, I know what you have put me through, and now I beg you for salvation."

When the voice of this sentence fell.

Boom!

Outside the palace, thunderous footsteps suddenly sounded, as if hundreds of pairs of legs wearing heavy leather armor stepped on the ground, and the floor under their feet began to shake slightly.

King Numirda couldn't help raising his head, and the priests on both sides looked blank at the moment.

Outside the palace where the grand sacrificial ceremony was held, there were bursts of noise, the sound of swords and soldiers colliding like pots and pans flying randomly, and the hoarse warning sound tore apart the sacred atmosphere, and the fear of death was instantly transmitted to the palace through the sound. Inside, a priest rushed to the door, and saw countless cold metal lights.

Chaotic sound waves slapped the entire palace, and the priests saw a scene of panic that had never been seen since the establishment of the kingdom.

An expedition team composed of hundreds of people rushed to the palace, and the roar of battle spread across the entire square in an instant. into ruins.

"Rebellion!"

"Rebellion! The expedition has rebelled!"

The priests recognized the flag of the expedition team and shouted miserably. For a while, the whole palace boiled up. Under the threat of death, they fled in panic, knocked-down objects were everywhere. In the chaos, even The brazier was also kicked over, and the flames began to burn in corners that no one noticed.

Hearing the roar of killing, and looking at the priests fleeing in panic, King Numirda's complexion was pale, and he remained motionless, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Numirda, go away, get out of here.

Take the consequences for your mistakes, and so do I. "

The father's parting words reverberated in his mind again, as if the most patient hunter suddenly shot a cold arrow in the lingering ghost, and hit the most deadly place.

The scene in front of me is like a prophecy story with signs, everything has already been written in the book of God.

"Is this the redemption I'm begging for?"

King Numirda said in a daze.

The sound of killing is gradually approaching, the palace is in chaos, the flames are burning in the hidden corners, and the awakened poisonous snake shows a fierce look in fear... All kinds of wonders, just like the prayers he recited in his mouth just now, are happening at this moment. Got the fulfillment of God.

"Rebellion!"

"It's Prince Lie! He's rebelling!"

"Swear to the death to guard the palace, swear to the death to guard the sage!"

The guards who were used as guards of honor tried their best to resist the approaching expedition team. They were originally used as guards of honor. At this moment, they could not last long under the organized and premeditated attack, let alone buy much time.

"King! Go!"

"They won't last long!"

The few priests who hadn't fled tried their best to persuade the king to leave. As long as the king escaped from the palace, the rebellion would be quelled soon.

King Numirda did not follow the priests out of the palace. Instead, he stood up slowly, with a wry smile on his face, picked up his crown again, and approached his throne.

"If you go, go!"

"If this is all arranged by God, then there is no point in struggling."

"I'm willing to accept it all."

King Numirda returned to his throne, and now sat upright, high above him, a king of the Logos.

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

Before long, the priests all fled.

The expedition team had no intention of attacking the priests who served the gods, so they did not hinder the fleeing priests, and even took the initiative to give way or drive them away. Even the guards of honor tried their best to capture them.

Prince Luo Lie quickly stepped up the long steps of the palace, and rushed into the hall like a storm.

Behind him, followed by an old-looking shark.

No one cared about the burning of the flames, and the black smoke filled the air. In the palace, only Numirda was left on the throne.

The poisonous snake straightened up on the armrest of the throne, and it stared at Prince Luo Lie in front of it with great vigilance.

The soldiers of the expedition team who participated in the rebellion stood guard outside the gate and did not take a step forward without orders. There were only three people in the palace.

Prince Raoli raised his head, and when he saw his father on the throne, his hands trembled suddenly.

The father he revered, the sage of Logos, was sitting on the throne at this moment, waiting for his arrival.

"Father..."

Prince Raleigh trembled and said:

"You let your guard down on me..."

There was no trace of hatred in the prince's voice, but more of the fear of a child who disobeyed his parents. He rushed to the palace just for an answer. He naively thought that he and his father didn't have to fight to the death.

King Numirda stared at Prince Raoli and Merman Bohan, and for a moment, he seemed to understand something.

After a while, the king said slowly:

"I see, your mother was right...

You are really weak and easily influenced by others. "

The voice fell from the throne, and the poisonous snake raised its head, looking down at Luo Lie and Bohan.

"No, that's my choice!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Luo Lie immediately retorted.

"You just made the mistake of thinking it was your choice."

King Numirda's majestic gaze pierced his soul and hit the depths of the eldest son's heart.

Prince Luo Lie shuddered, he had an illusion that his blood was no longer flowing.

It was as if it was his father who forced the palace, not him.

At the critical moment, it was Bohan who held his shoulders and said:

"Look straight at him, straight at your father, Luo Lie!

We have no turning back.We've wanted an answer all along, haven't we? "

Prince Luo Lie finally came to his senses and looked directly at his father again.

King Numirda sneered, he stroked the poisonous snake on the armrest, and turned to look at Bohan,
"I probably should have killed you long ago.

But I didn't...God's arrangement is really wonderful..."

Bohan didn't get entangled with the sage. He knew that he was a bystander, and he only needed to witness the story in front of him and write it down.

He said nothing, and did not meet King Numirda's eyes.

"So, what do you want here?"

King Numirda glanced at the two of them, black smoke drifting behind the throne.

"Answers...we want answers!"

Luo Lie stated excitedly,
"Why, the paradise we were looking for never came?!
My land is still barren, our people are still toiling...

We have gone through so many tribulations, why hasn't God allowed us to grow fat? !
My father, the sage of Logos, what on earth have you been bewitched, so that you deviated from the way of God and have not yet completed the mission entrusted by God! "

The voice of questioning echoed in the burning palace, it was not only him alone, but also the questioning of almost all the exiles who covered up their pious prayers.

We are clearly here for a better world.

For this we have suffered, we have entertained the guests of death, we have endured the barrenness of the land, and still prayed.

Our king must have been deluded.

That's why God didn't promise that richness, and that's why our land didn't become a paradise.
