Chapter 245: mural

Chapter 245 Mural
"Here……"
"Here is the truth of history!" The king's voice was a bit of vicissitudes.
Behind the Shimen, there is a space about tens of meters in radius. The gems inlaid on the walls emit a soft light under the drive of magic. And on that wall, it was a pair of murals with radiance!
The top of the entire space is in the shape of a round arch, and in the center of the head is a magic circle of a six-pointed star. Roddy can clearly feel the soft magic waves from that magic circle. What surprised Roddy even more was that the floor of this room... it was basically a pool-like space. From the first step of entering the stone gate, looking around, the silver light flashed on the ground, and the water waves were calm... The ground was filled with mercury! !
But just in the middle, a slate pontoon was laid! The slate seemed to float on mercury.
As the king and Roddy stepped onto the flagstone pontoon, the mercury liquid on both sides of the bridge faintly brought out a little fluctuation. Roddy could clearly feel a little floating on the ground under his feet. Obviously these flagstones were used in a kind of unknown. What method is suspended above mercury.
Standing on the slate pontoon, you cannot directly touch the murals on the surrounding walls. But the patterns on the murals can still be clearly seen.
The king sighed: "Rody, you can read these murals clearly. You only have one hour at most! This place is maintained by a magic circle for a thousand years! Only one hour a day can be prescribed. When the time is up, we must go out. So as not to destroy the magic circle!"
Roddy didn't seem to care about the king's words, all his attention had been focused on the first mural after entering the door...
The pattern on the first mural seems to be very simple, and in terms of carving techniques, it is also relatively simple, which seems to be the oldest. The above pattern shows a picture that interests Roddy:
Looking at the bottom of the picture, there is a group of differently dressed humans, including men and women. Their facial expressions are full of respect and piety, and they seem to look up at the top of the picture as if worshipping—a white building on top, that The building simply uses the distant view as the background. It seems to be a tall building full of sacred atmosphere, and on top of the tall building, there is a small person standing!
The man was in a white robe, and his face was naturally unclear. He opened his hands, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world in his arms, with only one long hair fluttering, which looked quite imposing!
"What is this? Is it the that those people worship? Is the person standing on the building a god?" Roddy frowned and asked in a low voice.
"No!" The king sighed: "The person who is worshipped is not a god!"
"Oh?" Roddy was surprised.
Then the king whispered in a sigh: "The person who is worshipped is the founder of the Shaka Empire, the first emperor of the empire, Julian!"
The king's voice slowly echoed in this space: "This first mural tells of the creation of the Shaka Empire! From now on, the exact age of the time is no longer able to verify. This picture records the creation of the Empire On the first day, my ancestor, Julian, was speaking to people! What he said at the time has been passed down!"
"What did he say?"
The king smiled bitterly: "What he said is that mankind should be a united world! Everyone should be free from birth, and our soul should not be imprisoned by any shackles! We should doubt Everything should not be blindly worshipped. In this world, human beings should have independent personality and soul...not the slaves of those servants!"
Roddy opened his mouth wide, seeming a little surprised. After a long time, he couldn't help but sighed: "Now I kind of understand why the Shaka Empire would perish... because your first emperor said such blasphemous things..."
His eyes turned to the second mural.
On this mural is a huge room. The whole room presents a circular theater-like shape. There are many people with different expressions sitting on the dense circular seats. These people are dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes, but also simple and plain. It's just that everyone's expression is the same sacred and solemn. And in the middle surrounded by the surrounding seats is a small high platform, on which stands a man in a white robe, who has an elegant look and holds a scepter high in his hand.
To Roddy’s surprise, there is still a line of text under this mural...
"What does that mean?" Roddy frowned.
The king squinted his eyes and said slowly in a low voice: "Humans should decide on human matters!"
Looking at Roddy’s somewhat surprised gaze, the king explained with a smile:
In fact, this mural mainly records a very important historical event of the Shaka Empire-the establishment of the'Parliamentary Council'! The'Parliamentary Council' is Shaka. A special political system of the empire! In the Sharjah empire, the emperor is not the only dictator! The'Parliamentary Council' is the representative of the people, whether it is a noble, a commoner, or a knight, every class has its own representative. Participate in the'Parliamentary Council'! The man in the middle of the picture is the emperor of the Shaka Empire at the time. He is listening to the opinions of representatives from all walks of life and then making some decisions based on their opinions."
Roddy sighed and sighed: "This is really a strange political system!"
The king said lightly: "It's not surprising at all! The founder of the Shaka Empire said that freedom and rights belong to everyone. The emperor is not a dictator, but a guide!"
Roddy took a deep look at the king, and then solemnly said: "I express my highest respect to your majesty's ancestors!!"
Unexpectedly, the king was not at all proud, but his expression was a bit sad, he just shook his head, and did not respond to Roddy's words.
The two then looked down.
The third and fourth murals record some of the history of the Shaka Empire, and there is nothing strange about it. The only thing that shocked Roddy was that the Shaka empire that existed in ancient times was really a very fascinating existence for Roddy... and strangely, these murals did not mention anything about the existence of gods. Things-Is there no religion in this world in that era?
The style of the fifth mural has completely changed!
The style of the first four murals is full of harmony and peace, or with a bit of thriving beauty. These are exactly in line with the free and equal tone of the Shaka Empire.
As for the fifth mural, the style of painting has undergone tremendous changes!
On the screen, there is a gallows! ! On the gallows, people in black robes were hanged there...and under their feet, there were some dead bodies!
Some of the onlookers around were obviously civilians, and their faces seemed to be cheering.
What surprised Roddy even more was that he was familiar with the clothes of those who were hanged! !
Those who were hanged on the gallows and dressed in black robes were clearly dressed as religious believers! ! !
Damn it! Roddy was shocked! The religious people were actually hanged in public? ?
In the current era where Roddy lives, the religion is almost the most sacred authority, and only the religion hangs others. In this world, people who have never heard of the religion are publicly hanged in large numbers!
Below the mural, there is still a line of text!
The king did not wait for Roddy to ask this time, he had already read the line:
"Humans do not need the shackles of the soul! Anyone who tries to put the shackles on our souls will be prepared to be punished by death!"
Roddy listened to the king's words, and the shock in his heart was beyond words!
Judging from the pictures and the text below, the Shaka empire is clearly opposed to the existence of the religion! It can even be said that they regard theology as a heresy and evil religion...
In other words, the Shaka empire is simply an empire that does not believe in religion! They do not believe in gods! !
"Shocked?" The king smiled bitterly and looked at Roddy in a low voice: "Frankly, when I came here for the first time, I was shocked when I saw these things!"
Roddy took a deep breath, then vomited heavily, his expression still a little strange: "In the era of the Shaka Empire, the religion was the target of suppression, right?"
"Yes!" the king whispered: "My ancestors believed that human beings were born free. Our spirit and soul should not be imprisoned by the so-called gods! Although the gods are such lofty beings, they have no rights. Interfere in our world! So..." The king glanced at the mural: "In the era of the Shaka Empire, the religion was declared illegal and was explicitly prohibited by the decree of the empire! All the clubs were hanged..."
Roddy was silent for a while, then suddenly he laughed!
His smile was a bit malicious, and he muttered in a low voice: "What a beautiful time that is!"
"Oh? Is this your request?" The crown prince looked at Nedith who was smiling in front of him, and frowned: "Miss Nedith, you will really trouble me."
Nedith still smiled so charmingly, and whispered: "His Royal Highness, this matter is just a piece of cake for you. Would you refuse a friend's request for help?"
Yawen stood up. He walked a few steps back and forth and then stopped, staring at Nidis and said solemnly, "Is it just as simple as taking that shipment to Bright Continent?"
Nidis sighed: "Your Majesty, you also know. I have a lot of business in the Roland Continent. But the current situation in the Roland Continent really makes me unable to rest assured... If the war begins, the first thing that will be unlucky is us. Powerless businessman...That’s why I was forced to make such a move. I came this time just to clean up the business in Roland mainland and temporarily return to the Bright Empire, but with so much goods and property, I I don’t have the ability to transport it back. Besides, now that the king has imposed a ban on seas, my fleet cannot go to sea...It just so happens that you are the commander of the navy. I don’t ask you for this, but who else can I ask for?"
Yawen still frowned: "But, since it was your majesty's order, I can't disobey it! Miss Nedis, you transported your property back to the Light Empire, such a move...huh."
"His Royal Highness!" Nedith's face was a little unhappy: "Do you doubt my friendship with you? Although my business in Roland is not big, the annual tax revenue has never been less than one gold coin! The current war situation It's pressing, are you just watching your good friend suffer a huge loss?"
"Okay!" Yavin hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed. He slowly said, "Presumably you will get news soon. We have reached a peace agreement with your country, and there will be a large number of warships in the near future. Ship to the Bright Empire, there will be a navy at that time... I can help you with a small favor, when you transport your property to my fleet, you can reach the Bright Empire smoothly...Miss Nedis, I only helped you to do this for the sake of our many years of friendship!"
Nedith smiled with satisfaction and immediately said: "Thank you for your generosity! Besides, I know that your country is preparing budget funds for war due to the recent situation. I am willing to donate 500,000 gold coins to your country as a personal friend. Please accept a little gift from my friend!"
Yawen glanced at Nidis, and suddenly said, "Five hundred thousand gold coins? Hey...Miss Nidis, I am starting to be a little curious now, how much property do you have in Roland mainland..."
Nedith smiled without answering.
The crown prince shook his head and smiled: "Okay! Since what I promised, I will never break my promise! Miss Nedis, we haven't seen each other for a long time! Please stay in the capital for more days these days, let me Do your job as a master...Well, and Mr. Dark, I heard from Miss Nedith that you are a master of archery, and I must ask you more!"
Nedith and Dark looked at each other, Nedith immediately smiled and said, "Of course! Your Highness, I don't care about spending more days here, anyway, I don't want to go back right now."
"Oh?" Yawen smiled.
"Yeah!" Nedith pretended to sigh, and then jokingly said loudly: "Don't you know that I am being chased by my enemies in Bright Continent... Now I dare not go back right away."
Yawen only thought she was joking, but just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
But Duck glanced at Nedith, with a look of helplessness in his eyes-only he and Nedith knew in their hearts that the sentence just now was not a joke.
Because of Nedith’s identity, the blood clan of Bright Continent is pursuing Nedith secretly. This time he came to Roland Continent. On the one hand, he accompanies Nedis to deal with some business matters. On the other hand, he is also avoiding the blood clan!
