Chapter 320 Story and History

Beyond the planet is an endless void. The void is essentially endless, but conceptually it is surrounded by a world barrier. Outside the world barrier is a distorted void that does not even have the concept of existence. Even gods cannot survive for a long time. Reside in the Twisting Nether.

In the endless twisted void, worlds large and small are distributed like bubbles. If you want to travel between worlds, apart from using loopholes in the space barrier such as alien projection, you can only forcefully cross.But this is almost impossible. Forcible crossing requires not only two violent breakthroughs in the space barrier, but also walking through the twisted void. This is something that even the gods cannot do. Can it really be achieved by machinery alone?
"The rules of the world are different, and it may not be impossible to achieve it under the rules of another world. When we first entered the alien world, we encountered a world where we could use machines to fly into the void, where we could even use machines the size of a city. Metal vehicles transport tens of millions of ordinary people through the void, but it is impossible under Parvatiga's rules. However, crossing the space barrier is unheard of, after all, tearing the barrier apart , it’s not just a matter of world rules.”

"But this is not the point. Where it came from, what principle it uses, and why it comes, we can all talk about it later. The most important thing now is to find a way to destroy it so that the surrounding areas can return to normal. Otherwise, we can only hope. It will turn off on its own after being activated for a while, and it must turn off before everyone dies."

"What will happen to the Emerald Light after it is destroyed?" Solan is indeed a court mage, and his focus clearly represents the official position of the Emerald Empire. "You just said that the Emerald Light was emitted by it, then once it is destroyed, If it is destroyed, the Emerald Light will never appear again."

"Master Solan, you are still thinking about the issue of the Emerald Light." Shuer shook his head and said, "I thought that the focus should be on how to save the lives of the people in the city, well, also Including our own.”

"The emerald light is a symbol of the empire." Solan frowned and said reluctantly, "It represents the national destiny of the empire. Once it suddenly disappears, there will probably be big trouble."

"I think most of the members of the royal family, including the emperor, and all the residents of the capital of the empire have all died. The chaos caused is definitely more serious than the sudden disappearance of the emerald light, at least for the emperor himself." Xiu Er Suddenly sneered, and said with obvious dissatisfaction, "I believe that knowing the current situation, the Lion King would probably raise his feet in order to express his approval of destroying the target. After all, compared with his life, the importance of the Emerald Light is negligible , I’m afraid he can’t wait to destroy that thing as soon as possible.”

"Ahem." Olanna coughed a few times, reminding Shuer not to speak too much.Although the clergy are free from the secular world and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial power, no matter what, it is a bit too much to ridicule the supreme leader of other countries in front of others.

"Well, I admit that what I said is indeed a bit too much, but I don't intend to apologize, because he deserves it." Xiu Er said with a sullen face, "My lord has confirmed that the heart of the city will remain in its current state, at least it can If we support it for another 44 hours, it will be enough time. In this case, why not listen to me tell you a story."

"All of my colleagues are excellent clergymen. They must have some understanding of history. They must have heard about the history of the Emerald Light and the establishment of the Emerald Empire. However, I have another version of this story here."

"The official version is that about 6000 years ago, the Lionheart Knights led the pioneering group on an expedition into the wilderness. They saw the Emerald Light Disease for the first time and was protected by it. They believed that this was the blessing of the gods and the gift of fate. Therefore, He settled here permanently. After that, the news spread. In the past thousand years, countless people regarded this land as a land favored by fate and immigrated here. This new settlement took this opportunity to develop rapidly and open up the road. In the later period of the era, it had become a powerful empire.”

"However, the other version is more interesting. The beginning is the same, but it is different until they arrive here. The actual situation is far less embarrassing than in the story. Although there is indeed a lack of food and drinking water, it is not to the point where there is no fire source. . In fact, they were sitting around the fire at the time, perhaps discussing whether to stop temporarily to look for food the next day. But before they could finish the discussion, they saw a ball of fire falling from the sky, dragging a long path in the air. The trajectory hit them near them."

"Meteors are not uncommon, but meteors that almost hit them are different. They were startled at first, and then became curious. The Lionheart Knight personally led an exploration team and followed the trajectory of the meteor to the ground. past."

"A steaming fireball is not difficult to find. The Lionheart Knight found the target quickly. After a closer look, he found that it was not a meteorite at all, but a metal fragment with man-made traces. Well, it was half the size of his body. The piece of metal is obviously a fragment of a large piece of equipment."

"It was still in the pioneering era, and people's knowledge was far less rich than it is now. They couldn't understand how special this piece of metal was. They just regarded it as an ordinary piece of meteorite and parts. After looking at it but finding no other abnormalities, the exploration team withdrew. After all, a piece of metal is not easy to mix well."

"If they had set out directly early the next morning, there would have been no Emerald Empire. But they didn't. Instead, they decided to stay for a day to look for supplies. They were busy until the next night, and then the Emerald Light appeared. ." "Twenty-one emerald lights, the most obvious one, appeared next to them. Looking at the location, the Lionheart Knight knew that it was the piece of metal he saw yesterday, plus he found food nearby. and water source, a set of plans were immediately born in their minds, and they immediately decided not to move forward, but to build their city here."

"So, while they were building the city, they spent some time finding all the falling objects that night. According to their original idea, they wanted to use their luminous properties as sacred objects to help them recruit immigrants. Unexpectedly, at night , unexpectedly discovered that light can penetrate obstacles and shoot into the sky, and it is particularly conspicuous. How could such a good opportunity be missed? The Lionheart Knight immediately changed his original plan, simply hid all the fragments underground, and then concocted a The beautiful story makes the emerging Lion City a city favored by destiny in the eyes of the world."

"Actually, it can't be said that they did anything wrong." Olanna could easily imagine what happened at that time and said with a wry smile, "After all, it is too dangerous to open up territory and challenge the wilderness. Use lies appropriately to improve your performance as much as possible. I think even my Lord will understand the success rate."

"Yes, if this is just the end of the matter, then I won't say anything. As a high-risk profession like a pioneer, his behavior is normal." Shuer curled his lips and sneered, "But, 20 years ago, The story has a follow-up."

"Archbishop Summer?" Olanna was stunned and immediately remembered, "I remember Archbishop Summer came to the Lion City 20 years ago. He visited me at that time. I remember he also visited this generation of Lion Hearts. King, is this the reason for this?"

"Well, that's it. The old bishop is here to pay a visit to the Lion-Hearted King on behalf of my lord. 20 years ago, my lord discovered that the pendant left over from the past had a brief energy change, and it was very subtle, indicating that those Along with the meteorite rain, the fragments that my lord thought were no threat and let go are not as safe as imagined. Therefore, my lord sent Lord Samer to remind the emperor of the empire and suggested that he destroy the fragments to avoid accidents."

"Oh, no wonder you were dissatisfied just now." Olanna sighed helplessly, "Lionheart King is rather... stubborn."

"It's more than just stubbornness." Shuer said with a sneer. "He denied it and refused to admit that such a thing happened. Lord Summer made it clear that my lord had personally observed all this. To deny it would mean to accuse my lord. After lying, he changed his story and said that the Lionheart King's bloodline had been severed several times over the thousands of years, and many records had not been handed down. He only vaguely knew the truth. As for where the fragments were hidden, he did not know. Even if you want to cooperate, you can’t do it.”

"Haha, it's a high-sounding reason, but it's simply flimsy. When Lord Summer said that with the light of emerald as a sign, the location of the fragments can be easily traced, and my Lord also knows the approximate location, he finally exposed the real truth. On the grounds that this was a secular matter and the internal affairs of the Emerald Empire, and the divine authority had no right to intervene, he resolutely refused the suggestion of destroying the fragments, and turned around and left rudely, leaving Lord Summer alone in the palace, and even We don’t even have the travel expenses for the return trip...Ahem, let’s not mention this for now.”

"So, this incident actually had a chance to be avoided 20 years ago. If it had been handled properly at that time, it would not have ended up today. But in order to safeguard his authority and interests, he insisted on his own opinion, and as a result, even Lisa was Being involved and facing these unknown dangers. Tsk, just for this reason, I said that no matter how much he said, he deserved it, and I will never apologize for it."

No one accused Seul of being rude, even the priests. Everyone asked themselves that if this happened to them, they would be as angry as him.However, Sapphire and Moria knew very well that Shuer was not just angry, but full of anger. Everything else was easy to say, but being rude to Luna's agent put Lisa in danger. Everything that cannot be tolerated should be blamed on the Emperor of the Jade Empire. Fortunately, Shuer always likes to hide his inner emotions, otherwise he would have exploded on the spot.

"That's the specific situation. In short, the Lionheart King needs to be informed of how the matter will be handled. It doesn't matter whether he cooperates or not, but this is the Jade Empire after all. Even out of politeness, he should be informed. Your Excellency Thorane, I I am too lazy to deal with such people, so I can only trouble you about this matter. The top priority now is to deal with the fragments that are related to you as soon as possible. The remaining ones, my Lord said, there are no signs of abnormality for the time being. Whether to deal with it or not, let him do it himself. Decide."
