In the center of the royal capital, there is a huge lake.
The lake is crystal clear, and the sun shines on it, making the lake surface as if it is covered with a layer of golden gauze, especially bright and dazzling.
The water waves dangle in it from time to time, bringing up bursts of pleasing sights.
And in the center of this lake, there is a place like an island in the center of the lake.
There, a chalk castle rises from the ground and sits on it. It is also located in the center of the entire lake. It is separated from the flat ground. Only a huge stone bridge connects the past. It is the only one that can reach the chalk castle. The road stands on the lake.
"Wow... "
Lumia and Melika saw this scene, they were already so shocked that they couldn't speak, their eyes gleaming.
"This is really..."
Even Sean couldn't help being a little surprised. One can imagine how beautiful this scene is.
People came from all directions, gathered in front of the bridge, passed the check of the knights guarding the bridge, entered the bridge one by one, and headed for the chalk castle.
It is simply magnificent scenery, if it is used as a tourist attraction, it is definitely a hot rhythm.
No, they are all hot now.
The evidence is that more and more people are coming from all directions, among them there are even nobles riding in carriages, and fully armed adventurers, which are extremely lively.
Vivian came here with everyone, and after a brief investigation by the knight at the bridge, stepped onto the bridge.
"Did you see it?" Vivian led the way while pointing to the chalk castle on the island in the lake, and said to Xien and the others: "That's the palace."
The palace and castle of the Kingdom of Mithra is located on the lake in the center of the capital, and can only be reached through the only bridge.
And there is no doubt that the so-called "most important place" mentioned by Vivienne earlier refers to this.
"No... I didn't expect the palace to be built on the lake..."
Lumia hadn't reacted from the surprise yet.
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
Melika looked at the clear lake on both sides of the bridge and the towering and beautiful chalk castle, her face full of joy.
As an elf close to nature, Melika should like it very much, right
Sean liked this place a little bit, and while looking around, she asked Vivian.
"So the palace is a place where you can go in casually?"
Not only Xien and others, but even civilians and adventurers in the royal capital can walk on this bridge casually to go to the palace. This situation is indeed a bit beyond Xien's expectation.
But this time, Sheehan was wrong.
"Of course not normally, let alone the palace, even this bridge does not allow ordinary civilians and adventurers to pass, otherwise there is no need to set up a knight guarding the bridge in front." Vivian explained: "Only every This bridge will only open to the public at noon on Sunday. Although ordinary people will not be allowed to enter the palace, the Knights will not stop it if you just cross the bridge to the island of the lake."
"Why?" Sean raised his own question without much hesitation, and said: "If you don't want to be passed through casually, then there is no need to open to the outside world at noon, right?"
Unless there is a special reason.
Vivian has explained this particular reason.
"Because there is not only a palace on the island in the lake, but also a temple."
Vivian pointed to the side of the palace.
Under Vivian's guidance, Xien and the others saw that there was indeed a sacred and solemn palace next to the palace.
"That is the largest and most important temple in the Kingdom of Mithra. All the temples in the kingdom are dominated by it, and under its control, the priests and believers in the temple will also regard it as a holy place. Once they come to the capital , Will definitely come to worship, and new born children also need to come here to receive God’s blessings, Huxin Island cannot always be in a closed state, so only in the three hours of noon every day, Huxin Island It will be open to the outside world, except for suspicious people who will be stopped, everyone else will be able to pass easily."
Vivian looked in the direction of the temple, her eyes flickering.
"There is also a door in the temple that can connect to the gods. Through that door, people can go to the gods. The goddesses in the gods also come to the human world through that door. Therefore, that temple is important to the entire kingdom and even the human world. Both are extremely important. If it weren’t for the establishment of this country by the brave who defeated the Demon King, I’m afraid the palace would not dare to be built larger and more brilliant than that temple, let alone let the temple sit next to it."
In this world, divine power is far more important than royal power.
Of course, it is not absolute.
For example, the brave who defeated the demon king thousands of years ago would even respect the three major goddesses. Therefore, the temple of the Protoss would be willing to sit next to it. If it were changed to another country, this situation would never happen.
Furthermore, divine power is more important than king power, and that depends on the object.
Even if the Protoss is the creator and guider of the human race, there are also classes in the Protoss. If it is only a lower-level god, the identity is naturally more noble than the ordinary common people, but it is impossible to say that it is more noble than the nobility or even the royal family. Thing up.
Therefore, although the human race obeys the teachings of the gods, it is not completely obedient to the gods, it still needs to look at the status.
Generally speaking, the status of the royal family and nobles is higher than that of the lower gods. The status of the royal family of a country built by this brave is no different from that of the upper gods. Only the existence of the three goddesses can make this country. The royal family bowed their heads and became courtiers.
And if it is a royal family or a small nobleman in a small country, then their status is not even comparable to that of the lower-level gods.
In summary, whether theocratic power or the royal power is more powerful depends on different occasions and different people. In this country, because of the relationship established by the brave, the status of the royal family cannot be underestimated, and the Protoss must give sufficient respect.
but...
"In recent years, there has been one more reason for Huxin Island to open to the outside world."
Vivienne Yufeng turned around and mentioned this topic.
Sean was attracted.
"That reason is the treasure of the kingdom you just mentioned?"
Sheehan asked such a sentence curiously.
"Yes."
Vivienne nodded, and said.
"About seventeen years ago, an existence called the treasure was born in the kingdom."
Sheeen was stunned when she heard these words.
Because Vivienne's words told Sheen that the treasure of the kingdom seemed to be a person.
The fact is also true.
"She is very talented. As soon as she was born, her magic power shocked the Protoss and made the goddess of destiny of the three big goddesses cross-border blessings for her."
"She is the direct successor of the royal family, that is, the descendant of the brave man. She has high potential and is even known as the modern brave man."
"She was already rank ten when she was four years old, and she rose to rank thirty when she was ten years old. When she became an adult two years ago, her grade was sixty, and she was the number one genius in the kingdom and the entire human world."
"The kingdom regards it as the pillar of the future, and even the culmination of the future of this world, so she asked her to worship the legendary knight captain as her teacher and learn from him."
"Because of her amazing talent and appearance, the people have long regarded her as a spiritual pillar. If she can't see her safe and sound every day, there may even be riots."
"Therefore, another reason Huxin Island is open to the outside world is to give people peace of mind."
"In other words, now is the time for her to come out for inspection."
During the conversation, Vivian and his entourage arrived at the island of the lake and came to the palace.
At the same time, a commotion appeared.
