Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

If you were in a small city like Iscalon and you went out for a walk instead of being at home at night, you would definitely be caught and questioned by a passing night watchman.

But in Karad, a quite prosperous imperial capital, there is no curfew system.

It is very common for people like Milin to wear a long robe at night and walk around in small groups outside without fear of the wind or cold.

However, it is rare for someone like Mirin to visit the Temple of the Guardian instead of taking a bath in the bathhouse, watching the opera at the Grand Theater, watching the fighting competition at the Colosseum, or even having some late-night snacks.

Among the four major attractions, it is more focused on life and entertainment than the other three attractions. As the place where the empire was established, the Guardian Temple has a stronger political significance and is not a place suitable for night tours.

Out of respect for the empire, I traveled thousands of miles from my hometown grassland to come here. Milin said to the guard who stopped him with words that seemed to come from the heart, but were actually sincere.

When he arrived here, Milin had already used the skills inherited from His Majesty Palpatine to change the details of his appearance, making him look more like a herder living on the grasslands.

Even people who are familiar with Milin, when they see Milin's current appearance, their first reaction will be I seem to know this person, but I don't seem to know him.

Regardless of whether the Highland King spread the word about the Cathay Assassin Master all over the place, at least be careful.

Judging from the clothing and armor, these soldiers guarding outside the Guardian Temple are just ordinary imperial soldiers. At most, they are slightly better equipped, and they are not those temple guards.

But even so, Milin's attitude was not arrogant at all and he said:

I heard that the Mountain of Light is a symbol of the empire. Especially at night, it illuminates the world like an everlasting lamp.

Who told you that this place is more suitable for night tours? After Milin's free compliments, even though he was not the target of the compliments, the guarding soldier still smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ah, did my friend deceive me? Milin's face also showed a very cooperative expression of being deceived.

That's not true. The Mountain of Light is open to worshipers at any time, but... However, there are really not many people who come to visit at night. Even if there are, they are envoys who have organized a group.

Regardless of the cost, the Mountain of Light is illuminated day and night. This is also the reason why the empire wants to show off its strength in this way.

But as the empire was essentially divided into three parts, foreigners like Milin who came to pay homage were rare.

Although the city's defense was completely lax, the guarding soldier was still very serious and did not simply let Milin in.

Milin's insistence on the guard soldier immediately attracted the attention of others. A young man wearing a temple guard robe came over and asked:

What happened?

Sir! The soldier saluted quickly and talked about Milin, a tourist who wanted to visit the Mountain of Light at night.

Perhaps it was because of Milin's praise of the empire just now that the soldier used more tactful words when introducing Milin.

All in all, if he had the right to decide, he would definitely let Milin in for a visit.

At the same time, Milin also hesitated for a moment, and then followed the soldier to salute the temple guard... to be precise, he should be a young man who was a temple apprentice.

The right amount of hesitation and strange confusion showed that Milin didn't know that the person wearing such a robe was the real administrator of this temple.

After listening to the soldier's words, the temple apprentice, who looked to be in his early twenties, did not immediately let Milin in, nor did he drive Milin down the mountain.

Instead, he looked Mi Lin up and down with a thoughtful look on his face.

Faced with this attitude, Milin also showed a slightly angry expression, but he could hold it back in a foreign country.

Which tribe of grassland people are you from? After examining Milin, the temple apprentice thought for a while and asked.

Qi Yanbu, Bo'er Jin's family, Temujin. Milin tactfully borrowed the name of Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation.

As a result, Milin's natural answer made the temple apprentice stunned for a moment.

Although he knew that the grassland people were divided into tribes, he knew at most a few big tribes worth paying attention to, such as the Urhun Tribe and the Kugit Tribe.

If Milin said these names, he could ask a few more questions to identify whether Milin was lying.

But Milin directly threw out a tribe that he had never heard of, but it sounded like they were grassland people, which made him a little blind.

However, the vague sense of force made the apprentice realize that the names Milin mentioned were not fake, so he nodded and said:

Okay, come in, the temple will always open its doors to every visitor.

Thank you very much. Milin thanked him immediately.

You're welcome, Temujin, is this your first time coming to Kalad? the apprentice naturally accepted Milin's gratitude and asked.

That's right. How did you find out? Milin asked curiously.

Only people who come to Calad for the first time will not go to the Grand Theater or Arena after coming out of the Baths. Instead, they will be attracted by the light of the temple.

The temple apprentice said with a smile.

In other words, the bumpkin is ignorant and only knows how to follow the light.

I see... Milin, who was very cooperative, turned around and looked at the city down the mountain.

Standing on the Mount of Light and looking down from above, the oval-shaped Colosseum is the most eye-catching building. However, in this era of lack of adequate lighting equipment, although there is movement in the Colosseum at night, it is not as beautiful as the Mount of Light. It's really a bit different here.

As for the Grand Theater, another attraction in the imperial capital, Milin didn't even see its location.

Milin, who withdrew his gaze, looked at the temple disciples beside him with an expression of horror.

The temple apprentice who understood Milin's look said:

It just so happens that it's my turn to keep vigil today, so let me take you to visit the Guardian Temple?

It was obvious that the apprentice was still not at ease with Milin, a grassland man who came to visit the Guardian Temple at night, so he decided to follow him throughout the whole process.

Milin, who knew very well that the other party's excuse was to find a reason to spy on him, said without any concern:

Then I would be even more grateful. Is this called the Guardian Temple?

Yes, this is the temple to commemorate the last guardian. The last guardian once announced the establishment of the empire in this temple.

The temple apprentice who said he wanted to show Milin around immediately entered tour guide mode and said:

That's right. Are you the manager here? Milin acted as if he knew about this for the first time.

I am only the guard responsible for guarding this temple. However, the last guardian disappeared after the establishment of the empire. We, the temple guards, are also temporarily responsible for managing this temple.

The temple apprentice explained to Milin in detail, and at the same time pointed out his identity to Milin in his words.

Then how do I address you, sir? Milin, who showed that he understood the other party's words, immediately lowered his figure further and said.

Kylo Ren also said his name to the temple apprentice who did not hide his thoughts.

I was shocked, it turned out to be Zhong Er Lun. When did Zhong Er Lun and Highland King become the same era? And you didn’t even change your name?

You seem surprised by my name? Kylo Ren said strangely.

It doesn't sound like a name from the Empire. Milin asked with a stunned look on his face. No matter what the question was, Milin was indeed stunned now.

Oh, I was a Stygian before joining the Temple. Kylo Ren seemed to often see others express surprise because of his name, Kylo Ren replied.

Are there foreigners in this temple? Milin used more questions to cover up his surprise.

Of course, the temple already existed when the Empire was still the Republic. Kylo Ren said with undisguised pride.
