Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 6 The Queen's Secret

It turned out that King Solomon wanted to impress the Queen, so he came up with a special idea. He noticed that when the Queen was touching up her makeup during the palace meeting, the maid held up a pitcher and looked at the reflection to do it, and he knew her beauty. There is no such thing as glass in the country (anyway, it is a legend of the Aksum Empire, so the authenticity does not matter).

So King Solomon made a bet with the Queen:

If I could possess something that you have never seen, you would have to live in my chamber after nightfall.

The arrogant queen agreed, and then King Solomon "invited" her into another palace to let her see "a treasure she had never seen before."

As a result, in the corridor of the colonnade, the queen saw a piece of sparkling water on the floor. Without thinking, she picked up the skirt of her skirt and stepped over. However, when she lowered her head, she suddenly saw the spring under her skirt. She was so frightened that the queen immediately shrank to the pillar.

It turns out that King Solomon laid pieces of glass on the floor, but the Queen mistook it for water.

"King Solomon is really wise by nature!" Zhao Zhao bravely praised him.

Then the fourth mural was even more unbearable to look at.

The Aksum text underneath it is very strange and beautiful, like little flowers, but the content is a bit...

It turned out that the defeated queen could only admit that she had never seen glass before, so she had to stay in King Solomon's palace that night according to the bet. Unexpectedly, this scumbag took the opportunity to make further demands, "This night in my palace, You are not allowed to use anything that belongs to me, otherwise I will marry you, and then you will convert to Abrahamic monotheism."

The queen agreed again.

Sure enough, King Solomon used a dirty trick again. He added a lot of condiments to the dishes at the dinner. During the night, the queen was very thirsty. She had no choice but to pick up a jar, which was in the well of King Solomon's Jewish Kingdom. Produced clean water. The queen gritted her teeth and could only drink it. Then she kept her promise, came to King Solomon's palace room, and took off her clothes...

After hearing the translation, Zhao Zhao finally understood that, let alone a competition of wisdom, this queen was simply a gift from a thousand miles away.

Afterwards, the Queen of Sheba not only became pregnant, but also confessed to the man who conquered her that she had been guilty of worshiping polytheistic idols and converted to monotheism.

Later, the queen gave birth to a boy who inherited the throne of Yemen and Axum. Later, she went to the Kingdom of Judea and said that I was the legitimate descendant of King Solomon and should inherit the Kingdom of Judea, but no one paid attention to him. In anger, he conspired with his attendants and actually stole King Solomon's ring and the Ark of the Covenant. To avoid revenge, he hid in the remote Axum Mountains. This was the first emperor of this empire.

Therefore, the emperors of the Axum Empire all claimed to be Hebrews, descendants of King Solomon, and said that the Ark of the Covenant was with them, which was the source of this.

"I'm ashamed to say that Zhao Zhao came here this time with a merciless request." After reading, Zhao Zhao directly and solemnly made this request to the prince and the saint, "This is also the request of Basileus and Basilisa." Your Majesty’s sincere request.”

Prince Dilired then asked Zhao Zhao to state his request directly, and said that the people of the Axum Empire valued friendship the most.

"The tyrant Malala said before that the Ark of the Covenant was with him."

"No, here with us!" Sage Yasu said decisively.

"But this..."

Yasu hurriedly explained that when I was helping the prince escape, someone also stole the Ark of the Covenant, and now it is placed safely in the niche of this stone room.

In fact, there is no need to investigate what the Ark of the Covenant is and whether it is true or false. Zhao Zhao knows it very well.

Then the prince and the saint saw Zhao Zhao's eyes and slowly turned to the alcove at the end of the corridor over there...

About half an hour later, Zhao Zhao, who was almost sober, walked out of the room with a satisfied look. When he passed the fourteenth pillar, there was a flash of fire and someone suddenly appeared.

Zhao Zhao was startled, then came to his senses and realized that the man was the "rooster officer" who was competing with the Roman guards in the courtyard today.

The interpreter followed behind, and Zhao Zhaocai had a brief communication with this person. It turned out that his name was Yekuluo, who came from a prominent family in Amhara, and now served as a guard officer in the palace.

Yeculo's request was very simple, "I want to leave this country. Envoy, please take me to the great Rome. I want to see how great Basileus and his country are in your mouth."

It turned out that he longed to be an international student, and Zhao Zhao expressed his approval of his ideal.

In addition, Gawain also said that after the establishment of diplomatic relations, some young talents from Axum can come to Constantinople and accept the knowledge of Romanization. This can deepen Rome's control over the important eastern corner of Africa.

So Yekuluo was very excited and said that he would report it to the prince immediately, because his family, not even Prince Dilirod, could decide his whereabouts and direction.

Just as the young officer turned around to leave, Zhao Zhao asked curiously, "May I ask, where did the rooster feathers on your armor come from?"

"When I was thirteen, I saw a rooster that could only speak human language in my courtyard. It must have some kind of devil's power, so I drew my sword and cut off its head and ate it, and then made its tail feathers into armor ornaments. So now I am smooth sailing, and I will soon go to the court of His Majesty Gawain, which will help me reach the top." Yekuro did not hide it, and his eyes were full of ambition.

"It's great to be young!" Zhao Zhao sighed. He has been in Rome for many years and has a family. However, the news from his hometown made him hesitate and painful. But what is rare is that His Majesty and the Holy Queen still trust him so much. "A hundred acres of good land is not worth one acre." After Zhao Zhao said this, his mind became firm and he walked out of the palace slowly. The stars on the plateau were dense and low, and the light was connected. "Your Majesty, Holy Queen, you must return triumphantly!" Zhao Zhao stretched out his hand to the stars, just like stroking a bunch of Zhao Zhao had seen. Like the willows in the imperial ditch...

The new palace of Constantinople has been completed. Its architecture is centered on the original Acropolis in the Golden Horn. The old palaces around it have all been transformed into offices for guards and officials. Various flowers in the palace bloom in late spring and early summer. The tall towers around it adopt the style of the Crescent minarets. The artificial lake dug around the colonnade and hall draws water from the elevated aqueduct. Small boats of various colors float on it. Under the magnificent mural dome, the emperor and the queen sit side by side.

Below them are all envoys from various countries, gathered together.

During this period, Gawain not only actively wooed the Eastern countries, but also the Western countries. The reason he said was very shocking, "There are millions of foreign soldiers in the Oxus River in the East who are about to invade and sweep the entire world we know and live in. Now we must abandon the previous discord and war and unite - an iron curtain is about to fall on the Oxus River."
