Although the Church of Light tried its best to cover the cover, the news still spread. Not only one or two slaves escaped that day, but other slaves who escaped still leaked the news.
The rumor about the discovery of the Golden King's tomb in the Bull Mountains spread instantly throughout the Cretan Empire. Even many surrounding countries knew the news, but more secretive and terrifying news was also hidden in it.
The Empire of Crete, the imperial capital of Nea, is also known as the Lion City. The royal palace is located in the north of the center. This is the cultural center of the entire human race. Although it is not the richest city on the continent, it is also the city with the deepest cultural heritage. .
This can be seen from the city's architectural culture, people's clothing, population density and business activity. You can see crowds of people everywhere, the system is perfect, and most people are living below the standard. But even so, there are slums and a large number of slave living areas hidden in the darkness.
The building of the palace is very grand. It is made of white marble. It is tall and magnificent. It was built by craftsmen from all over the Cretan Empire. Based on the original palace of the Kingdom of Nia, it took three generations of emperors and took decades to slowly build it. .
A young man carried a long sword and poured straight into the palace. He removed the long sword at the door and walked all the way towards the depths of the palace, passing through the gorgeous corridors and palace gardens, and came to a place at the back. In the small courtyard, I saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes taking a nap in the palace next to him, drinking milk tea!
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The young man stepped forward and saluted the emperor. Emperor Iliad VII put down the book in his hand and looked at the young man: "Count Evans, why are you free to see me today?"
Count Evans looked at the book held in the emperor's hand, raised his head and asked, "Is your Majesty reading Dodd's epic?"
Iliad VII nodded: "The many ancient rumors recorded in Dodd's epic, especially the stories and the rise and fall of the three dynasties of gold, silver, and bronze, are worth learning from!"
Evans immediately said: "Does Your Majesty remember Akhenaton?"
Iliad VII suddenly laughed: "The first king recorded in history, the epic hero who enlightened mankind from ignorance, the Golden King Akhenaten, no one will forget him!"
Iliad VII frowned: "Why did you mention what the Golden King was doing? Also, you came to me today with something serious to say, right?"
Earl Evans immediately said: "What I want to say is exactly related to him. Your Majesty, in the Bull Mountains of Castro Province, the tomb of Akhenaton, the King of Gold, was discovered. Viscount Turner excavated the Tomb of Gold. The King's Mausoleum, the Sword of Royal Power was stolen from the mausoleum. Your Majesty the Emperor, the legendary Sword of Royal Power has appeared. At present, the Red Priest of the Church of Light, Hodep, has gone to the Castro Province and blocked it. Bull Mountains, should we take action too!"
Iliad VII frowned, not as happy as expected: "It's just a sword. Those things in the legend cannot be taken completely seriously. If the Church of Light wants it, just give it to them!"
"But Viscount Turner actually did something like robbing a tomb. It has completely brought shame on the nobles. He must be severely punished!"
Earl Evans immediately said: "Viscount Turner is dead, and all the blood knights and more than a dozen formal knights under him have all killed each other in the mausoleum, as if they were cursed, and only a few are left. The slaves escaped, and one of the slaves brought out the Sword of Royal Power. We are searching for him with all our strength, and have found him in a small town in Castro Province. We are currently arguing with the church about the ownership of the person!"
"But this is not the most important thing. From this slave's mouth, we got a more important news!"
Iliad VII became interested: "What news?"
Count Evans took a long breath: "They found divine blood in Akhenaton's coffin. It is said that when Akhenaton received the divine revelation, the Archangel Pharos sealed a drop of his divine blood Inside a gem, the King of Gold was given. It was by borrowing divine power that the King of Gold was able to defeat the orcs and unify the human race!"
"And according to what the slave said, from the gems at that time, they also saw the scene of the Golden King receiving divine revelation. They saw the appearance of the god and what the god said!"
"say what?"
"Those who drink the blood of gods can become descendants of gods and borrow my divine power!"
Iliad VII's hands suddenly tightened and his eyes shrank: "Find me that slave at all costs!"
Evans became excited. Didn't he come here just to show off in front of the emperor? If he succeeds, his status will be further improved: "Where is the Church of Light?"
Iliad VII waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, our Cretan Empire cannot tolerate the interference of the Church of Light!"
Evans immediately retreated and began to take action. In addition to the Church of Light and the royal family of the Crete Empire, major private families and various secret forces also received the news and took action one after another.
Rumors about divine blood spread everywhere, especially the divine saying: "Those who drink divine blood can become descendants of gods and borrow my divine power!"
Everyone was even more agitated and couldn't help themselves. Everyone hoped to become a blood descendant of God, become a complete spokesman for God, and master the power of God. For a while, the legend about the blood of God and the King of Gold was infinitely discussed. It is so exaggerated that even children in the countryside chant this divine word.
Even other countries have received the news, and the forces in the Cretan Empire have also begun to take action. The sword of royal power was robbed several times on its way back to the imperial capital, the Lion City. Countless people were acting in secret, and even those on the border The army was also moving quietly, and countless perspectives were cast on a subordinate province of the Cretan Empire.
Suddenly, the storm surged, and a slave named Mark spread to everyone's ears and attracted everyone's attention. The news that he took away the divine blood from the tomb of the Golden King also spread, and the entire Kass The whole province of Teluo was searching for him.
At this moment, in a small rural village in Castro, on the hillside, a large group of sheep gathered together to eat the grass. A girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old at most was driving the sheep. She is the slave of the lord, a shepherdess, wearing a piece of rag that cannot be called clothes at all. There are many layers of patches on it, but it is very clean. Her skin is slightly dark, and her face is covered with freckles. A girl's youthful and active atmosphere!
As the sun set, the afterglow of the sun shone on the hillside, and the sheep screamed, creating a beautiful and harmonious pastoral scene. However, at this moment, a man crawled out from the foot of the mountain, dripping with blood.
"Kelly! Kelly!"
When he started to drive the sheep back, he was counting the sheep, but he found the figure of his father Mark, but at this moment Mark was hit by a sword and looked like he was dying!
