A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Festival of the gods.

Aaron Landis once a grand ceremony in 14 years.

As an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, the Aaron Landis believed in many gods, and countless myths and legends spread on the earth.

Among them, the "Gods of Aaron Landis" that the Aaron Landis people often blurted out, generally refers to the 13 main gods of Aaron Landis.

...

The chaotic world is invisible, day and night.

Brilliance was born in it.

The great sun **** Shamash, he brought the light to the world.

...

The ancient mythical ballad sang like this.

According to legend, the sun **** Shamash was born first.

In the second year, the **** of the night was also born for the moon **** Nanna.

In the third year, Maghe, the **** of the earth, was born.

The supreme deities of these three gods divided the heavens, the sun and the moon and created Aaron Landis.

In the ten years after the birth of Aaron Landis, every year, a new **** was born.

Thirteen gods are the gods of Aaron Landis.

Every year is the birth year of a deity.

Thirteen years is a reincarnation.

The fourteenth year is called the year of the gods.

It is not only the beginning of commemorating the birth of the great sun **** Shamash, but also the end of the birth of thirteen gods.

Aaron Landis holds a grand ceremony every year.

It was a ritual sacrifice to the gods of Aaron Landis, and a ceremony to proclaim the king's majesty to the people.

And in this year of the year of the gods, it will be called the festival of gods.

This is the most grand and solemn festival of Aaron Landis.

…………

It was midsummer, and it was the brightest season for Aaron Landis.

On this day of the festival of the gods, the hot sun shines on the earth.

Before the majestic palace, there was a square of gods that was so wide that the margins were barely visible.

In the square, at the end of Tongtian Avenue, a high tower rises above the earth.

It is so tall and magnificent, like standing on a cloud.

On both sides of the avenue, red-golden flags fluttered high on the Gods Square.

The golden lions on the flag will roar out of it at any time, their huge eyes staring at the avenue.

Along with the rumbling noise, a fiery red chariot drove from a distance in the sky bathed in golden sunlight.

Above the chariot, the two knights who claim to be the strongest of Aaron Landis control it.

On the left is a black knight in black armor.

On the right is the blonde sun knight.

After the fiery red chariot, the royal knights wearing crimson armor followed, and the cluster of fiery tones looked far away, as if the flame chariot ignited the ground it passed.

As the chariot like a flame slowly moved forward, the soldiers standing on both sides of the avenue raised their silver guns in their hands and slammed down to the ground.

They exuded as terrifying as they were on the battlefield, and almost at the same moment, they all leaned down and knelt down to the ground.

The flag flew under the hot sun and danced in the wind.

The strangled horse gave a clear hiss, and in the eyes of everyone, the chariot of flame slowly stopped before the high platform.

With a roar, a huge figure leaped from the tall chariot above the square.

The golden lion stood proudly on the ground, with a golden brown mane undulating like a wave in the wind.

Before the might of the king of beasts, even the trained Shenjun had a slight restlessness, but was immediately pressed down by two powerful knights, one left and one right.

A hand clapped on the majestic lion's head, showing his majesty to the crowd. The lion turned his head and shook his huge head at Gallan who had already got off the chariot.

Garland smiled, stroking Nega's mane, and then looked up at the platform in front of him that seemed to rise into the clouds.

His gaze flickered for a moment.

In a flash, fourteen years have passed.

Fourteen years ago, it was this day, the year of the gods, the festival of gods.

At that time, still very small, he was taken off the tall chariot by the man.

Fourteen years ago, on this day, after following that tall figure, he walked up to this high platform and became the man's younger brother.

The man said that he would guard him like guarding Aaron Landis.

The man said that he would protect him and Aaron Landis until he returned to the hands of the gods.

...Brother Camos...

Everything seemed to happen just yesterday.

But now, fourteen years have passed.

A reincarnation has passed.

Garland walked forward, the long snowy cloak spreading behind him, laying on the stone steps he walked through.

The gold pattern on the edge of the cape shone like a starlight in the sunlight.

The gold crown of lapis lazuli impregnated with a little blood was worn on his blond hair.

The male lion was with him.

The 13 high priests of the gods are arranged on both sides of the stone steps, and the right hand is pressed against the heart. When King Garland passes by, he bows his head deeply.

Garlan looked up, and after looking at the high platform, the thirteen giant statues of the gods fanned out.

He looked at them. They lowered their heads slightly, and the huge eyes embedded in the gems seemed to be watching him.

As Gallan walked slowly on the stone steps of the high platform, the herald's loud voice resounded between heaven and earth on the herald on the side of the square.

According to the practice in the rituals of the gods, in the ceremonies, every achievement made during the reign of the king of Aaron Landis must be read out in public.

Before the gods.

Before all the people of Aaron Landis.

The achievements read shall not be deceived, forged, or boasted.

Otherwise, false lies will anger the gods, especially the sun **** Shamash.

If it is dark during the ritual, and the clouds are overshadowed by sun, it means that the lies have angered Shamash.

The punishment of Samash will fall on the lying king.

Among the dynasties, there are many Aaron Landis kings who have just failed to make achievements in the past few years or are too faint and have no achievements. The square is silent.

Such an occasion would be extremely embarrassing.

However, even if embarrassed, there is no Wang dare to falsify in the festival of the gods.

It stands to reason that King Garland has been in power for five years and the time is not long, but no one in the crowd is worried about this embarrassing situation.

What the young king did during his reign made the whole Aaron Landis change with each passing day and flourish.

It can be said that although King Garland has only been in office for only five years, the achievements of several kings who have been in power for decades in the past generations may not match him.

However, the confounding situation still happened.

In the past, Wang basically read it before walking the stone steps.

However, this time, until King Gallan had completed all the stone steps, and the man had already reached the throne of the high platform, the Herald had not yet finished reading all the achievements of King Gallan.

Therefore, King Garland could only continue to stand and wait for him to finish reading.

Under the scorching sight that everyone gathered on him, the herald sweating on the forehead hurriedly speeded up his speech, and he also smiled bitterly.

This is unprecedented.

This strange situation has never happened in the past.

Garlan stood quietly, stroking the big lion beside him.

The high priest of Samash who stood on the high platform behind Galan stood tall, and his usual majestic face seemed expressionless, but his eyes could not conceal a pride.

The high priests and the ministers under the platform, after a brief look at each other, smiled.

After a while, the anxious screaming commander finished reading and breathed out in the bottom of his heart, and then, sweating himself, he couldn't help laughing.

With a smile, he suddenly felt a cold face, as if it was rain.

Suddenly, the commander's heart snapped.

Is it cloudy and raining?

how come--

He looked up with a drum in his heart, then he froze.

The sky is still high in the sun, and the bright sun is shining on the ground, but under the scorching sun, there are thin raindrops falling from the sky.

As a transparent bead curtain.

The quiet and silent Plaza of the Gods suddenly made a slight noise, and the eyes of the herald who looked up at the sky suddenly widened.

The fine raindrops reflected the sunlight, reflecting a little colorful luster.

Above the platform, the young king sat on the golden throne.

Behind him, over the giant stone statues of the gods behind the throne, a beautiful rainbow crossed the sky, looming, like a bridge connecting heaven and human.

Shocking scene.

Like a miracle.

...

Garland.

Son of the gods.

King of Aaron Landis.

The wise king.

You are guarding the land of Aaron Landis.

Your merits are praised by all.

You are my immortal glory of Aaron Landis.

…………

……………………

One day passed and it was late at night.

The vision that took place at the festival of the gods spread almost throughout the royal city in a flash.

Everyone said that it was a miracle.

It was a symbol of the gods admiring and guarding King Garland.

Even in the middle of the night, they were so excited and sleepless that they talked about the beautiful and shocking scene with their relatives and friends at home.

Therefore, the Wangcheng, which has always been silent, is still brightly lit at the moment.

The palace was quiet, and the lights went out one by one.

However, the owner of the palace did not stay in it.

In the night, Gallan, accompanied by a group of people, came across the palace.

It originates from the northern border, runs through the end of the Enki River throughout Aaron Landis, passes through the king city, and falls into the sea at the end.

The palace is at the end of the Enki River.

At the other end, far away from the palace, is the tomb of King Aaron Landis.

A river separates life and death.

The tomb of the king was built as grand and magnificent as the palace of living people, but without the gold and other colorful tones embellished on it, it was pure white from beginning to end.

It symbolizes the ultimate destination of the soul that is washed and washed with lead dust and turned into pure white and flawless after death.

In the night, Garland stood quietly in front of the magnificent white palace mausoleum.

Five years ago, he personally sent Brother Camos' sarcophagus into it.

Since then, he has not been here once.

...And now he was finally able to face the tomb of Brother Wang calmly.

The chief of the woman followed him, staring at the white mausoleum in a trance.

After a while, she looked back and looked at Gallan.

"Your Majesty, are you really here tonight?"

She asked softly.

"You are tired and need a good rest..."

Garland looked back at her and smiled softly.

He said: "Tapti, I want to talk to Brother Wang well tonight."

"I want to tell him that I worked very hard... I did a lot of things, and I protected Aaron Landis very seriously..."

After a pause, he raised his hand and put it on his lips, humming uncomfortably.

He whispered: "Also, that thing, me, cough, anyway, before proclaiming it to the public, you must tell Brother Wang first, otherwise Brother Wang will be angry."

The female chief was stunned for a while, and when she reacted, she couldn't help laughing.

"To be sure, he will be angry."

She laughed out loud.

"No, whether you say it or not, King Camos will be angry."

"Um... I also know..."

A cough suddenly sounded beside him.

auzw.com The high priest of Samash who was on the side was coughing hard and interrupted the conversation.

Garland and Tapti glanced at Xiemuer at the same time, then turned their heads at the same time.

Although he stood a little farther with a team of guards, the ear-witted one-eyed knight turned his head and the smile at his mouth could not help but overflow.

The high priest who sensed this glanced at Kehos unpleasantly.

He said seriously: "Watch out for warning."

"Yes, Your High Priest."

Kehuos replied with a smile, turned around and arranged the guards he brought to important places one by one to prevent others from entering.

Then he watched Gallan, the chief lady and the high priest walk into the tomb of the king.

Although it was a meniscus, the stars shone and covered the earth with a faint starlight, so the sky was not dark.

Kehuos just stood for a while, and suddenly, a familiar tall figure appeared here in starry light.

He stunned slightly, and his expression appeared.

"Your Majesty they have entered."

He said to the person coming.

According to the regulations, no one can break into the tomb without permission of the king.

The golden-red eyes were like rubies burning in the flames in the dark night, glancing at Kehuos lightly.

"I'm waiting for him outside."

Huimus answered.

Then, his gaze turned to the white king tomb standing quietly in the night.

…………

A white palace.

Above the white stone wall, the relief of Ornas, the **** of the underworld, came to life.

The huge white wings that she spread enveloped the mausoleum's palace.

This is the palace of the Underworld.

The sarcophagus of King Camos has been sealed into a deep underground palace. Above the hall on the ground, a huge stone monument is erected.

There is a crystal clear white jade stone monument with a height of three people, which is glowing in the warm yellow light.

The lower half of the giant stele engraved the great achievements established by the Lion King's life, and the color of the carving was infiltrated with blue paint.

The upper half of the stele is engraved with a mysterious and ancient pattern. On the earth, the king wearing a gold crown rides on a lion with wings, and his wings spread upward to the rune representing the sun.

The engraving of the pattern is gold-plated.

It symbolizes that the sun **** Samash sent his own mount to take the owner of the tomb to the kingdom of the gods.

Garland leaned over and placed a cluster of fresh white lotus flowers under the white jade stone monument.

Legend has it that the white lotus flower worn by the goddess of the underworld was born from the tears of people who lost their loved ones into the underworld.

There were also transparent water droplets rolling on the white petals, which dripped to the bottom of the stone tablet.

"Sorry, Brother Wang, it took so long to come to see you."

The chief lady and the high priest stood quietly on both sides, while Gallan sat down on the stone steps directly under the stone after laying down the bouquet.

No system, no manners.

The high priest's eyebrows moved slightly, but he glanced at Gallan, but he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Today is the festival of the gods, do you remember? Fourteen years ago, on this day, I followed you to the high platform."

Sitting on the stone tablet with his left knee bent, he leaned on the stone tablet like this. Garland tilted his head slightly, put one hand on his knee, and looked at the void, as if looking at the memories of the past.

He smiled softly, his eyes soft, as if talking to King Camos.

"In a blink of an eye, it's been five years since I put on your crown."

"I think I have done very well in the past five years."

Garland said with a smile, tilting his head and looking at Xie Muer.

"Is it, Xie Muer?"

The high priest glanced at him and gave a soft hum.

"Look, Brother Wang and Xie Muer have admitted, so I definitely did not lie to you."

"I did a lot of things... Um, although there are some things I don't know if you will agree, but I think that is good for the future of Aaron Landis, so I think you should not object to Brother Wang. "

Garland whispered that the things he did in these years, pile by pile, piece by piece, even a little thing, and the changes of Aaron Landis in these years, bit by bit , All said.

He seemed to have something to say.

His expression is like a child, shouting to his elder brother what he has done, proudly showing his achievements, and looking forward to his praise.

Garland spoke for a long, long time.

The high priest and the chief woman stood quietly, and only a clear voice echoed in the empty hall.

I don't know how long it has passed.

In the hall shook by the warm yellow fire, it seems that time cannot pass.

It wasn't until the glimmer of light on the horizon that shone far into the hall that Galland finally finished.

The night has passed.

Garlan stood up and pressed one hand against the stone tablet.

"There is one last thing..."

He said softly,

"Brother Wang, I have someone I like."

"When I was in Judas City, I said I liked Huimus, but I lied to you."

"But now, I am serious."

"I like Huimus, I want to be with him all the time."

Garland bowed his head, and his long blond hair slipped off his shoulders.

His hand rested on the stone tablet, and his forehead rested gently on the cold stone tablet.

"I know, you will not object. After all, when I lied to you, you said, no matter what kind of thing, as long as it is my decision, even if the whole world is against, you will stand on my side. "

Slender eyelashes fell on the cheeks.

Garland closed his eyes.

He said softly, "...Is it, Brother Wang?"

Quietly for a while.

The chief woman ascended the stone steps, and she reached out her hand and leaned on Garland's shoulder.

"That's just King Camos' bravery."

Tupiti, who grew up with King Camos since childhood, knows his character well.

"He said that, I guess, he must be thinking about finding a chance to beat Master Heimus hard."

Gallan froze for a moment, then turned to look at Tapti, then smiled.

"It seems to be the case."

He said with a smile.

"If King Camos is still there, with his character, probably every day from now on, he will make excuses to teach Master Heimus."

"Ah? Not at all?"

"In matters related to you, King Camos's mind has always been very narrow. I actually think that maybe one beat every day will not be relieved. He will probably beat people three times a day."

"Uh, this seems a bit..."

"I said, if so, he was fine when he was young and strong. What if he waited for him to be older and older, but he couldn't beat Master Heimus?"

Garland's golden eyes blinked.

"Then I let Huimos deliberately lose to him?"

"If King Camos sees that Lord Huimos is pretending, I'm afraid he will be more angry."

"Well, then he will lose his temper."

Silent for a minute.

"Tapti."

"Ok?"

"Are we saying bad things about Brother Wang?"

"It should be counted."

"Then you say, if all the bad things we say here are heard by Brother Wang, is he angry now?"

"……I think it is."

The young king glanced at his chief officer.

Then, again laughed at the same time.

Behind the two smiling at each other, the high priest stood there expressionlessly.

The morning sun came in, illuminating the white temple, and the cluster of white lotus flowers under the stele.

…………

……………………

When Tapti followed Garland and walked out of the gate of the king's tomb, the sky was dim on the distant horizon.

After walking out of the place covered by the eaves, suddenly a cold drop of water fell on her cheek.

Immediately after, there were a few more drops.

The sky did not know when it rained.

Not big, just a hazy drizzle.

Tapti wiped off the rain dripping at the corners of his eyes, looked up, and he was startled.

She saw Huimus standing not far away.

Obviously it wasn’t just here, as long as I watched the man’s lacquered black hair wet by Yelu, I could guess that this person might have been waiting here all night.

He stood quietly, with drops of water dripping from the wet hair of Yelu falling on his shoulders.

His entire portrait melted into the night.

No, or between heaven and earth, he is like the incarnation of night.

However, when this man who turned into a dark night looked up at Gallan, his eyes, his face, and his whole body seemed to light up in a flash.

Like the moon that shines when it is illuminated by the sun.

"Hymos."

She heard Garland shouting the name of Huimus and trot towards him.

For a long time, Tapti did not like Huimus very much.

Actually, it wasn't because she didn't like Huimus close to Garland.

The real reason is that she doesn't like Huimus's look.

This man's eyes are always bottomless, like a dark abyss with no end in sight.

This man, his hunger never ends.

His arrogance and ambition, like a flame burning everywhere, could never be satisfied, making him more dangerous than anyone else.

Tapti always thinks so.

But now, standing behind Garland, she saw the look on Huimus' face.

Heimos stood there, extending his left hand to Galland who walked towards him quickly.

She was behind, unable to see Gallan's expression.

But she saw Gallan raise her right hand and stretched it forward, as if to put it on the hand that Huimos reached towards her.

The hands of the two will soon be held together.

She saw Huimos gaze at Gallan more tenderly than anything else, and smiled at Gallan.

She had never seen such a bright and contented smile on this man's face.

That smile is as if he already has everything and the whole world.

…………

Never mind.

The female chief stood quietly, watching the scene.

fair enough.

She thought, her lips smiling.

This... is also good.

The hazy drizzle fell from her eyes like a broken bead curtain.

In the rain, Garlan's hand, which was about to be placed on Huimos's hand, stopped suddenly.

Tapti's pupils suddenly dilated.

Suddenly, without warning.

Before everyone, she watched her prince fall forward.

The long blond hair that flew up when she fell fell across her eyes.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

………………

The fine rain fell from the bright sky.

The fountain fell in the pool, and the stone statue of the star goddess Isdar stood quietly in the courtyard.

The drizzle wetted the stone statue little by little, and the rainwater gathered to the corners of her eyes. After a long time of accumulation, a water mark slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Like a teardrop falling in the eyes of the goddess of destiny...

That was the beginning of fate and the end of fate.
