The somewhat upset Augusta was still sleepless at this moment, walked out of the room and came to another remote corner of the palace, which was originally a cold palace where erring concubines were imprisoned. However, this place was completely abandoned after Augusta took out his father, and now there is another special guest living here.
The two elite guards in full body armor who were guarding the door opened the door without saying a word. When Augusta entered the small palace, the two stood back to their original positions like stone statues.
The four strong women waiting here in the palace dormitory immediately bowed and backed away when they saw Augusta. Augusta walked straight over and saw the elf girl sitting on the bed like a frightened bird. When she saw Augusta, The Star girl seemed to have seen a nightmare and a monster. Her young body hugged the quilt and kept retreating, but she seemed to realize that she had no room to retreat at all. The only thing the girl could do now was to bury her head without saying a word. .
"Did she say anything?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this child still hasn't said anything today. Your Excellency Leonas has also come to ask before but there is still no answer."
The weapons factory located in the secret valley within the Kalsemmen Empire was completely destroyed, and the reason was the little girl named Elsa in front of him, a powerful black dragon~ No! Strictly speaking, two black dragons broke into the valley and wreaked havoc, with the purpose of taking away the girl. In the end, the half-elf female mage hired by the empire, the director of magic technology, fought with Tenaya and the black dragon. In order to destroy one of the black dragons, Tenaya cast an unknown magic that froze the entire valley into an ice cellar.
Everything in the valley was destroyed. The arsenal that had invested dividends and compensation from the war with the Kingdom of Creses was reduced to rubble in an instant, and all the funds were wasted. Although there is a backup of the data analyzed by Tenaya in the Imperial Secret Bureau, it is impossible to resume production in a short time.
Thinking of this, Augusta couldn't help but get angry and wanted to kill someone to vent his hatred. However, compared to the loss of money, the most terrifying thing was probably that the battle with the black dragon attracted the attention of the gods above the sky!
God!
This is such a contradictory word. People who believe in it mean it an unparalleled and terrifying power, while those who don't believe it mean it is just a ridiculous hoax. In the past, Augusta was not a devout believer, even if he planned to be baptized and become the adopted son of the Pope. In my opinion, the overlord Garcelik once pulled the god off the altar, slaughtered its believers, burned its temple, and almost trampled the god into the mud. However, the gods did not punish Overlord Garcelik, but in the end the Overlord's empire was destroyed in the hands of mortals. The gods do not seem to be as powerful as imagined. If the gods are really omnipotent, then why would they allow the existence of the overlord Garserik? If they are really powerful, why would they allow the existence of demons who are their enemies
Or so to speak. Do gods really exist? Are the stories written in the so-called miraculous urban scriptures and holy scriptures true? Or is it just a fairy tale written by an ordinary mortal. In other words, the god is actually just a more powerful creature, just like the legendary dragon or titan~
Augusta once had doubts, but as his confidant, Leonas could not tell lies, and the feather he brought back, given by an angel, did not belong to this earthly world. Gods do exist, and they have never let go of their concern for the earthly mortals.
"What do you know, why are those black dragons looking for you?" Augusta suddenly looked at Elsa and asked.
“┉┉┉┉”
Regarding this question, Elsa just lowered her head and said nothing. In fact, even Elsa didn't know why it became like this. Originally, although she was often teased like a doll in Tenaya's hands, as a The half-elf female mage gave Elsa more freedom, and Tenaya even agreed to learn magic, something Elsa didn't dare to hope for. The maids surrounding Tenaya also have very good attitudes, at least they don't treat themselves just like goods or pets like they do now. In Elsa's opinion, staying with Tenaya, whether it takes decades or hundreds of years, at least there is hope for her to be free.
But now all hope is gone.
Elsa had no idea why the dragon wanted to catch her. She was just an ordinary little girl. And it is even less likely that his clan is involved with the legendary dragon. Why he wants to catch him at all costs, he really doesn’t know.┉┉
Elsa didn't answer and Augusta had no choice. Leonas, who had returned with Elsa before, explained the situation. The mage also used spiritual magic on Elsa, but the completely unaware elf girl could not provide any information at all. A bit of useful news.
"Keep an eye on this child and don't let her have any accidents, do you understand?"
Augusta was helpless and left at this moment. The Kalsemmen Empire had always been a country that split from the Perlas Empire established by the original overlord Garserik. After witnessing the turbulent years of this continent for two thousand years, , I have always been eager to restore the order of the Overlord Era.
However, the Overlord's establishment of the Perlas Empire does not seem to be entirely accomplished by himself. Many important information and documents have been passed down in the secret library of the Kalsemmen Empire, which shows that the Overlord once received the assistance of some mysterious forces in the Yanold Mountains. Augusta once questioned this rumor as if it were a god. He was dubious, but after going to the Kingdom of Kalut to purchase Elsa from the Mercenary King in the Free City, the other party brought a piece of news that forced Augusta to re-evaluate whether the rumors about the Overlord were true or false.
Faron, the great mage of the Tower of Sages, went to the Yanold Mountains with three sacred artifacts passed down from the Overlord Era!
The so-called three sacred artifacts of the covenant are the rumored proof that Overlord Garserik has concluded a contract with a transcendent existence. These three things were scattered after the collapse of the Perlas Empire. Among them, the Tower of the Sage held an ornament, the Kingdom of Creses held a contract document, and the Kalsemmen Empire held an ornament. Dragon scales.
The Grand Magister of the Tower of Sages took one of the sacred objects to the Yanold Mountains, and it was also during the most important period of internal reform in the Tower of Sages. This really makes people have to doubt Farorn's intentions.
If the legend is true. Overlord Garserik really made a contract with an unknown force and used its power to unify the entire continent. So, as the inheritance of the Perlas Empire, can the Kalsemmen Empire also make a contract with it
But now it's too late, the gods have noticed the Kalsemmen Empire. After the end of the Overlord Era, both the Holy Capital and the Holy Holy See in the east and west of the mainland have always regarded Overlord Garserik as a taboo subject. The Kalsemmen secretly analyzed the technology of the Overlord Era and produced the Demon Knight, which had been used for two thousand years. The former war machine that almost swept the entire rebel army was the ambition of the Kalsemmen Empire. His own ambitions were almost completely exposed.
Thinking of this, Augusta couldn't help but clenched his fists. Although he hadn't received the news yet, you can imagine how the Holy See would react after learning about it! Even though the Kalsemmen Empire has now truly become the strongest country in the eastern part of the continent, the Holy See, which was originally a behemoth that transcended the secular kingdom, now has the support of real gods behind the Holy See. Where will your own destiny and the destiny of the entire empire go because of this disaster!
For a moment, Augusta couldn't help but be confused. His Royal Highness, who was originally wise and could always see through everything, didn't know what to do next.
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
Confused?┉┉
In the divine realm of the sky, the goddess Ishtar is observing the sand grains in a mortal world in her own divine kingdom. The goddess sitting quietly by the pool looks at the confused figure in the pool. The Kalsemmen Empire Prince Augusta Brannis!
With a face that was full of holiness, there was an expression that was half-smiling. The goddess's white, jade-like fingers crossed the clear water. After a wave of water, Augusta reflected in the water suddenly transformed into the appearance of a child. The intermittent Augusta emerged from the water. Everything he experienced since his birth was revealed without reservation. From the son born to the king's beloved concubine, he started to move forward step by step, overthrowing all obstacles and even ousting his own father. A young man in his twenties became the uncrowned king of an empire.
"My God, please allow me to impose severe punishment on Augusta and the Carlseman Empire for their blasphemy over the years."
On one side, a tall angel was looking at Augusta in the reflection. Five pairs of wings that were like streams of light exuded a burning and powerful spiritual light. He was wearing airtight golden armor and was more than two meters tall. His body was as majestic as a mountain that could never be climbed, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, filled with warmth and anger.
Ishtar waved his hand gently, opened his pink lips and said, "Do you think it is blasphemy?"
"You dare to question the existence of gods and try to restore the kingdom of those who once blasphemed God. You foolishly control a power that you cannot understand and try to start a new war in the world. This kind of behavior must be severely punished!" The angel said harshly! said.
"Haha~ Even though I am ambitious and a little daring, my ability shown over the years is indeed beyond doubt┉┉"
Ishtar chuckled a little and said indifferently: "As an emperor, if you don't have even a little bit of passion, you will fail. There is a saying among mortals that is right. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Likewise, A king who doesn’t want to make great achievements and just wants to be content with the status quo is definitely not a good king.”
"My God! Do you want to forgive what this bold man has done?"
Ishtar waved his hand gently and the scene in the pool changed again: "Those who make mistakes will naturally be punished, but the method of punishment is not just to give pain. In fact, in the final analysis, Pearl more than two thousand years ago The Rath Empire is actually an era of complete unity that I long for.”
"The era of unity┉┉" the angel muttered and repeated this word.
"It's just that Garserik was born too early, and he also found the wrong person to rely on. Otherwise, the Perlas Empire would have become the most glorious era┉┉"
There was a hint of inexplicable regret in the goddess's tone: "For more than two thousand years, this continent has been divided into pieces. The arrival of the new Star Children will allow me to usher in a new sublimation, and this fragmented continent may It’s time to usher in a new ‘emperor’.”(~^~)
