Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 87 Sacrifice Ceremony
301AC, August [-]th.

Finally came the day that everyone was looking forward to, everyone had breakfast early and headed to the mouth of Xinghe River.

Today they don't have to work, but go to the mouth of the sea to participate in the first sacrifice. They also want to know what will happen to them after the Sea Emperor converts them into Atlanteans.

Of course, what they are looking forward to more is not the conversion of blood, but whether Godzilla, the mythical sea god, will appear.

The Milky Way runs through the entire Neptune Island, and the mouth of the sea in the southeast is the location of the sacrifice.

In the past few days, Jack arranged for thousands of people to quickly build a sea temple. Because of the tight time, the temple looks relatively simple.

But it doesn't matter, the water is no longer deep, there is a dragon, and after Godzilla shows up, people will automatically ignore the simple temple.

The sacrificial time was set at ten o'clock in the morning, and Jack came to the Sea God Temple early to prepare.

Jack attaches great importance to this sacrifice, because it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a good opportunity to deify Jack himself.

Jack is going to rebuild the foundation of modern science, and also wants to accelerate the speed of industrialization, so it is inevitable to open up the wisdom of the people.

But Kaiminzhi is not so friendly to feudal society, and ancient society was unequal.

Once the people can read and write, they will unconsciously pursue equality, and then shout the slogan "Princes and generals are better than each other".

Especially human beings always like to make trouble for themselves after eating and drinking.

Therefore, Jack is going to simplify the pyramid from king, minister, and people to king, official, and people, so as to achieve disguised equality and alleviate social conflicts after the wisdom of the people is opened.

To put it simply, under the monarchy, officials and people are equal before the law.

Monarchy enacts laws and implements laws, but does not act within the rules of laws.

To realize this idea, it is necessary to deify Jack's own monarchy.

Let the monarchy and theocracy be integrated, the king is the incarnation of the gods and is not bound by secular laws.

In the ancient centralized feudal society, the monarch often used means of fooling the people to make the people have a superstition about themselves, thinking that the monarch and his heirs were the natural rulers of the country.

But how to make the people superstitious, often through three methods, the alienation of the race, the mystification of the person, and the sanctification of the personality.

But Jack wasn't sure if it would work.

But with Godzilla and Korak, even if the tree is crooked, Jack has the ability to fix it.

What's more, Atlantis is still an empire built from scratch.

There is still a big difference between the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the Free City-States of Essos.

"Hiss——"

Kraxhu let out a dragon cry, and then slowly landed beside Jack.

At this time, Jack was instructing the servants to arrange the pigs, cows, and sheep in good positions, and then he personally put the chicken, duck, and fish on the plates.

"Are the pine nut dishes and pasta fruit dishes ready?" Jack asked.

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty, four different dishes of fruit and four different pastries."

Korakxiu stared at the big three animals placed in front of him, obviously it was hungry again.

Jack patted Colaxxiu's head lightly, "When you go back to get some barbecue, don't steal it, or I'll let Poseidon peel off your skin."

Kraxiu shook his head and looked back, but it wasn't afraid of Poseidon, after all, it hadn't seen Poseidon yet, he just listened to Jack's words.

Time passed slowly, and everyone arrived at eight o'clock. Under Newgate's arrangement, they stood quietly in the open space in front of the Sea God Temple.

In the last hour, Jack sent a small bowl to everyone below, which contained half a bowl of water.

Everyone looked at the blood water in the bowl curiously, there was something red like gravel in the water.

Of course, this thing is not Jack's blood, but the dragon dung of Kraxiu. The dragon dung is soft when it comes out, but it will become as hard as metal as time goes by.

And dragon dung is ground into powder and put into water, it will form this kind of red quicksand-like "water of blood".

This thing is not the point. After all, the Atlanteans in ancient times made it up, so it doesn't matter whether the "water of blood" has any effect.

After ten o'clock, the sacrifice officially began.

Jack appears wearing a blue royal robe embroidered with Godzilla.

This is somewhat different from the traditional golden royal robe, but it fits the culture of Atlantis very well.

After getting used to it, there will be no awkward feeling.

Jack first read out the prepared sacrificial speech in Chinese.

Jack has no other ideas, but simply needs a language that other people can't understand, but can make others not understand.

Then three sticks of incense were burnt in the altar.

According to Jack's request, everyone knelt down and kowtowed after drinking the "water of blood".

Although the people behind didn't know what happened, they felt inexplicably solemn and knelt down one after another.

Jack did not kneel down at the front, but bent down and bowed. In myths and legends, the heart of the ocean and the newly born Godzilla are at the same level.

Then everyone kowtowed and bowed nine times at Jack's request, and then Jack took off his blue royal robe and came to the altar.

The altar is built near the shore, nine meters high and three meters wide, with a total of 33 steps. There is a half-person-high incense burner on the altar, and the sea is below the altar.

Jack jumped into the ocean with a leap.

Newgate stepped forward at this time and shouted loudly:

"The emperor goes to the sky, and shines on the earth."

"Spirit of the sea god, common people live in groups."

"Everyone has his own place, and the present and the past are out of place."

"."

Newgate read the words first in Valyrian and then in Common, making sure they all understood.

After finishing the reading, Newgate said to everyone: "His Majesty the Sea Emperor has already contacted the Sea God in the deep sea through sacrifices and the Heart of the Sea. It won't be long before everyone can see the Sea God."

Newgate was very guilty when he said this. He knew that Jack could breathe underwater, but what about Godzilla?
It can't be that His Majesty himself is wearing a leather suit to play tricks, right?
Newgate glanced at Kraxo who was looking eastward and westward, and thought that His Majesty would let Kraxo pretend to be Godzilla from a distance. At least it has a tail, and it can't be distinguished from a distance. .

Time passed slowly, and half an hour soon passed, and small-scale disturbances and discussions had already begun to appear in the crowd.

Many people began to worry in their hearts. Your Majesty is not pretending too much. I really feel that I have drowned in the sea with a mythical item like the Heart of the Ocean, right?
They sincerely recognize Jack's rule and believe that Jack is a perfect and beloved king.

But they also really don't believe that Jack can breathe water and summon Godzilla, the mythical monster that opened the sky.

That's right, this is what most people think about this sacrifice. They don't believe that Jack can breathe underwater and summon Godzilla.

In their view, although the story of the sea god opening the sky is wonderful, it is only a myth after all.

Whether it is the children of the forest, the ancestors, the Andals or the Giss, they all have their own myths and legends.

For example, the harpies that the Gis people believe in, no one has ever seen a live harpies.

Just when Newgate was thinking wildly, Kraxo suddenly let out a roar, and then flew into the air very anxiously, still roaring continuously from his mouth.

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden irritability of Kraxo. They didn't know if it was their own illusion, but they heard fear from the roar of Kraxo.

"Ang—!" A dull roar came, and the feeling of antiquity rushed over, making people feel fearful.

"Hiss——!" Kraxhu uttered a terrified cry, and it felt deadly danger and fear for the first time.
