Horland's Rebellion Twelve

The Four Sacred Church of the Twelve

No matter how he recalled it, Gustav also came to King Heland for the first time. However, he, who was supposed to be a guest, acted as a guide and took Gallolin, Xilu and Loide straight through the streets and squares to his destination. Such a familiar road makes people wonder whether he has not really visited this place... Because even King Garolin himself took quite a long time to be familiar with the layout of the whole royal city when he was young.

After the follower Gustav's journey, Gallolin vaguely guessed his destination:

"Are you going to the 'Great Hall'?"

"If the history of your country has not changed... the name of the cathedral should still be 'Orson', right?"

"It has always been regarded as a sacred place by the people in the name of the former king. Of course, the name of the Great Church will not be changed at will."

"That won't be what I expected, and since I didn't go the wrong way, the result will definitely not disappoint me."

"Your familiarity with King City is really surprising. If I remember correctly, it should be the first time you have come here, right?

"It's true. In fact, even I myself am surprised by this. If I want to find a suitable reason... It's because I have been vaguely feeling that there is a force pulling me."

"The so-called power..."

"I can't explain one or two, maybe... this is the guidance of the ancestors!"

"Your words are really inexplicable..."

"Please don't care if I'm talking to myself. Of course, I have to tell the truth... The charm of King Hland is really extraordinary!"

"Your Excellency is joking... How can Heland be as charming as you said in the eyes of the Millennium Kingdom?"

"I don't mean those buildings... Otherwise, your country will be inferior to Haier Milan, which is only a hundred years old. I really mean the citizens of your country.

Gustaf pointed to the citizens on both sides of the street. Most of them continued to work as if no one was around, and some people occasionally glanced at the conquerors with disdain or angry eyes, which made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward, but Gustav laughed without hesitation:

"I know that my country has been defeated and surrendered, but I still treat the victors who walk with the king in such an arrogant manner... It is indeed an extremely wise choice for me not to destroy Hland, otherwise I may die in their revenge... Such a nation is more terrible than Haier Milan. ."

"Make you laugh... Our people have been like this since their ancestors. Even in the face of the king himself, they may not bend their knees, and for the characters who attack or conquer our country, even if they do not do what you are worried about, they will certainly seem extremely unfriendly... ”

"So that's it. No wonder we walked all the way, and no one came to greet your majesty."

"Speaking of this... Maybe they think that a defeated king is not qualified to accept their courtesy!"

"It's really confusing to know who is the real owner here!"

Gustaf laughed twice again and then stopped:

"It seems that this is the... 'Orson' Basilica. As I thought, it is the only one that has preserved the ruins of the former Silas style in the Kingdom of Hland.

The priests and knights guarding around the Great Hall found that the visitors had the intention to go straight into the forbidden place and pressed the weapons around their waists to come forward. Gustav turned his head towards Garolin:

"Your Majesty, are these loyal knights trying to block our way?"

Galloraine shook his head at the knights to signal them to retreat. And these knights also seemed to understand Hland's current situation and the king's dilemma. After looking at each other, they silently retreated to both sides.

"Please take a good look now... The only and most complete relic of our country's Sierras in Hland!"

Xilu and others raised their heads together as Gustav said... Although on the whole, the layout of the Great Hall is not much different, the top is mostly square spire, and the dome is generally used to enter the Great Hall, and the statue of the goddess of War is undoubtedly the style of Sierras.

"Why hasn't the Kingdom of Heland abandoned or rebuilt this cathedral? And even the statue of the goddess of war has not been replaced? Don't the people have any objection to this?"

Silo was full of uneasy questions, which made Galorin show a wry smile:

On the contrary, the people asked the royal family to keep it. I don't know why... Maybe they have a strong sense of nostalgia for their ancestors, or maybe it's because they will be punished by God for acting on the Great Church at will!"

"Whatever reason... is incredible. The history of the Kingdom of Hland is really full of elusive wonderful feelings... In my view of a kingdom with only a hundred years of history, I can only deeply feel my shallow ignorance.

"You are flattered, Your Excellency Queen Selysia. In fact, in the eyes of the Millennium Kingdom, we are all equally shallow. No matter what the reality is, the former civilization of Sierras has really fascinated me, but history is such a simple and almost ruthless definition. Sierras ended the history of the continent for reasons that I can't understand..."

"Isn't this a great irony? However, for me, since everything is based on God's will, there is no room for sighing.

"Are you avoiding history like this?"

"How can it be... I'm a barbarian who never looks at history."

Gustav responded with self-deprecatingly and stretched out his hand forward. The ancient gate made a heavy dull sound and slowly opened the embrace of history. However, the first thing that greeted them was countless dust from the sky, which made Dexi Lu cough for a while.

"It's really rude... Because it hasn't been opened for decades, it's helpless to become like this."

"Why? Since it is a Great Hall, it should not be closed for a long time, right?

"Because even the king has to respect the opinions of the high priests... For decades, our country has had an inevitable rejection of the goddess of war, so in order to take care of the servants of those goddesses, we had to temporarily close this place... It's ridiculous to say. I don't know why after I became king. This kind of thing has happened, and the former kings have never worried about it..."

"Maybe it's because you expected to be the enemy of our country? I have never believed in those so-called servants of God, and many prayers full of lies come out of their mouths all the time, so that I have the desire to fall asleep every time I hear them..."

Gallorine shook his head full of white hair, and the uneasiness on his face was like a thick cloud before the thunderstorm:

"Mr. Gustav... Please allow me to say that although I have no right to interfere with your faith, it is stupid to disrespect God after all. In this world, the power of gods still exists... At least in the era of our hearts, please be careful in your words and deeds.

"Huh? It seems that I did lose my words just now. Your Majesty Gallolin, I will keep your advice in mind.

"This is my pleasure..."

Even so, the uneasiness on Garolin's face has not subsided. Perhaps he understands that the king in front of him is by no means a stubborn person who can be moved in a few words. Gustav did not continue to answer and entered the Great Hall:

"The history of thousands of years will be opened again by me, Gustav... The ancient Engeia Cathedral, and your children stand in your arms again!"

Gustav raised his hands and recited them loudly as if praying to the gods. His prayers were also mixed with ancient terms that Xilu and others could not interpret, which made everyone behind him have a strange look.

"Engea... is the oldest name of the Great Hall, isn't it?"

Loed asked in a low voice, and Xilu nodded:

"That's right... Engea means 'supreme' in the ancient language of Sierras, so this cathedral should first worship their ancestors and gods, including some memorable warriors."

"That is to say... the same definition as the 'Spirit Hall'?"

"That's it, but the Yingling Hall is the legendary place. In fact, there are similar places in Heil Milan, that is, the Faris Basilica in the royal city. However, thousands of years apart, the descendants of Silas are still so religious here, which is really strange. Of course, it may be that our understanding of Sierras itself is still at a thin level, and we can't deeply understand what kind of profound definition there is in their culture..."

"I'm afraid this problem is not only for Silas. Any kingdom, even the century-old Haier Milan, is so profound that I can't easily spy on it. So we don't have to feel too weird about it.

"Your idea is not a mistake... But I'm really curious about what's hidden in this cathedral."

"This... I suddenly remembered the past when we were in that ancient ruins."

"You mean... the ruins where we went with Lulu in the past? After tossing around there for a long time, he almost lost his life, but in the end he got nothing!"

"That's it... So I'm wondering if this cathedral is the same? After spending countless efforts and even stirring up a war, he finally found that there was nothing in the cathedral... Isn't that ridiculous?

"If that's the case... I'm afraid I'll feel unspeakably sad before it's ridiculous!"

"It's true..."

Gustaf, who had been addicted to prayer, finally put down his hand and sighed as if relieved:

"Finally... it can also be temporarily relieved."

"Rem relief?"

Driven by full curiosity, Xilu finally couldn't help asking:

"Please forgive my rudeness, Mr. Gustav... Can you tell us what your motivation is for doing this? What does this cathedral mean to you?

"If I answered that there is nothing but my ideals and thoughts of my ancestors... What would Her Majesty think?"

"If you are not joking... Maybe I will cut off your head here!"

"It's really the same as what I thought..."

Gustaf laughed:

"So the answer will never be that simple, otherwise I will come here to be equivalent to a child's family wine! In this cathedral, there are countless treasures that the ancestors of Silas are proud of, and that's why I came here.

"Is the treasure... a valuable property buried in the city?"

"Please don't imagine me as such a greedy and stupid person, Your Majesty. My so-called treasure is a legacy left by my ancestors... It is a great legacy enough to shake the world!"

So not to mention Xilu, even Gallolin is surprised:

"What kind of treasure can be as mysterious as you said? I have been in power here for decades, and I have never heard of such a legend... Is there really an ancient heritage hidden in this cathedral as you said?

"In fact... if I can't see it with my own eyes today, I can only think that this is just a daydream."

"That is to say... until now, you are still not sure of the authenticity of it?"

"Please don't be so urgent, Your Majesty Garolin. Since I have come here, I absolutely believe in my intuition."

Gustaf waved to the servant behind him, who then presented a small wooden box with him. After opening the lid of the box, Gustav took out a stone slab engraved with ancient words:

"Does the Queen recognize this stone slab?"

After a careful look at Xilu, if she notices:

"Is this..."

"The original stone slab, an ancient artifact taken from the sacred moonlight."

"So... Is it your Excellency to attack the college and seize the slate?"

"It's not the master, it's just that they assisted each other, but they didn't expect that after buying the slate, they couldn't let it see the sun again until today... Presumably it has been waiting for this day for a long time. Didn't His Majesty the Gallolin wonder why he hadn't discovered the secret of this cathedral for decades? This doubt can be solved today.

Everyone confusedly followed Gustav into the Great Hall, and the knights guarding the door immediately closed the door tightly, as if it was a great blasphemy because everything in it was seen by unrelated people. However, the people who entered the Great Hall were inevitably surprised. The first thing to greet them was not the imaginary statues, murals and other decorations - it should be said that the whole Great Hall was empty except for the four walls, and in front of them was Franke in a cloak!

"How can you..."

Xilu couldn't help asking in surprise first, and then understood the reason for the matter:

"So... have you found the last relic?"

"For your blessing."

In Farnde's hand, a crystal ball that looks like a ruby is shining:

"This is the last ancient heritage I have been looking for, 'Zero of Empty'. What a miracle... After thousands of years, there is no damage at all. It is worthy of the greatest wisdom crystallization of our ancestors. My mission is coming to an end. Thank you for your selfless assistance. If I can survive the final test, I will do my best to repay you, especially Her Majesty... I really appreciate it."

Xilu understood that he was referring to the fact that she handed over the magic wand "hot eyes" to him, and couldn't help smiling:

"Don't worry about this, I hope you can achieve your long-cherished wish as soon as possible. Just... Why did you choose us as partners? Isn't Silas a more ideal choice?"

"Maybe it's because I have more trust in you... Of course, even if my wish is urgent, I will not choose the enemies of my ancestors as partners for cooperation, although cooperation is not against it."

Fland lifted his hat, and after seeing his silver hair, Gallolin suddenly realized:

"Did you turn out to be the legendary ancient ancestors? No wonder you can freely get out of here..."

"Of course, the ruins of the ancestors, of course, only pure descendants like me can enter at will without the slate as a catalyst. I'm really sorry to disturb your country, and I will always keep your kindness in mind.

"Farnde... How do you just say that you won't be a companion with the enemies of your ancestors'?

Xilu's question made Farnde hesitate for a moment before exhaling gently:

"The enemy of the ancestors refers to Silas."

"Serath?"

"The disappearance of Risselofen's history on the mainland is not a large-scale migration, and it is less likely to be extinct by the Kingdom of Sierras in those years because of the legendary disaster or other... Although the ancestors had powerful magic that made the gods feel afraid, they could not resist Silas's many plots and tricks, and finally perished in the difficulties of internal diplomacy... Most of the treasures left by the ancestors were also destroyed in the war, and the rest were only those that could not be easily broken by their powerful magic. It's just an object. Although I deeply hate this... But since Silas has left many treasures for his ancestors in this cathedral, I will not complain much about Mr. Gustav. And I am by no means the kind of vulgar person who lives for simple revenge. However, before leaving, I would like to advise His Excellency Gustav that although the rest of the ancestral heritage is powerful, once it is used to interfere with the balance of history, it will become useless waste and even a source of nightmares. Please think about it again and again.

"I am really grateful for your advice, but please let me say something... Aren't you interfering with the balance of history? The inability to resurrect is the theorem of nature, and it is also the unavoidable true knowledge of you and me. Can you advise others to follow the laws of nature, and you can't do this?

"It is precisely because I have fallen into this irredebable stupid situation that I don't want you to repeat my mistakes... Good luck, I can't see the wheels of history, but I believe you can do it."

After Fland smiled and saluted, he disappeared from the crowd like air. Xilu couldn't help frowning and "hummed":

"It's 'return' magic again... He is really a guy who likes to pretend. Obviously, he is staged a tragedy with no way out, and he still doesn't forget to preach to others... This kind of person is really indescribable annoying!"

"But... it makes people feel indescribably sad. Maybe this is the last time we meet, when his ideal is achieved..."

Loide's sentimental sigh made De Xilu hang her head helplessly:

"Yes... I haven't heard of anyone who can successfully launch a 'change of soul', so... what's the need to do this, that guy!"

"Love that belongs to us... can't be understood by outsiders. That's probably the truth. We don't have to criticize him more."

"That's right... Then Mr. Gustav, it's your time."

"I'm so scared."

Gustaf took a few steps forward and came to an ancient wall full of words similar to the stone plate in his hand:

"It should be here... exactly as I know. Next, as long as..."

Gustav raised the slate in his hand, which slowly floated from his hand as if it had been absorbed by some force, looking for his home as if he had an autonomous consciousness. The whole process lasted only two minutes, and the slate was silently embedded in the imperceptible gap, and then the ancient words on the whole wall began to glow with a dazzling red luster. Xilu involuntarily covered her mouth:

"This is..."

"I found the belonging of my companions... Even on a stone slab can be clearly conveyed. In a word, we have succeeded. Next, let's wait for our ancestors to open the door of fate.

The words on the wall are like regular and undulating keys, swimming slowly and rhythmically for a week, as if they are showing the glorious memory of civilization inherited from ancient times to the people present, but because they are not familiar with these more like picture letters, everyone has no choice but to starve their breath. About five minutes later, the red light on the wall finally faded.

"Is it over?"

"It's just the beginning, Your Majesty."

In response to Gustav's voice, the wall began to make a slight roar, followed by a violent vibration. With the center as the boundary, the wall moved left and right separately until there was enough space for one person to pass through before stopping.

"Sure enough, there is an unknown secret... And this secret actually needs ancient slates as a catalyst. It seems that God's will is to have Silas to complete this ancient dream, not my Kingdom of Heland. Fate is like this, and there is really nothing to say.

Galloraine took a step forward with emotion:

"I didn't expect to wait a minute behind this ancient wall! What is this?"

"Hmm?"

The old king shouted in surprise, and the unknown people came forward together, and then they were shocked by the scene in front of him:

"This is...!"

No wonder people are shocked... Behind the wall is not the spiral staircase or the entrance to the basement as imagined, but a completely empty dark space. Only a slightly blue diamond-shaped magic portal is opening an unknown embrace to everyone.

"Is it... another world behind this wall? A world built by magic?

Xilu immediately recalled her previous experience on the isolated island of Libita Lake... and the magic portal in front of her was the same as before. It seems that the miracle created by ancient magic in this regard is really extraordinary... Just thinking about it, Xilu felt a tremor. But Gustav took a step forward without care, and one foot had stepped into the portal:

"Then... let us witness with our own eyes what kind of world is hidden behind this door! This wall has been waiting here for hundreds of years, just for the arrival of this moment! If you retreat at this time, it seems that you will be laughed at by those ancestors... Don't you think so?"
