36. Chapter 36(1/2)
"Who is Merlot?" Everyone looked confused, "What does thorns and flower vines mean?"
One of the officers suddenly "hissed" and frowned, "Melo...Melo...why does it feel a little familiar?"
Regarding the old God era, most people only recognize the book "Divine Calendar". The rest of the scattered supplements are recorded elsewhere, with a lot of books. Moreover, the true and false are confused, and it is difficult to tell whether it is well-founded or pure nonsense.
Most people read a few books, and rarely search them everywhere to chew them all.
But everyone in the Wujin Iron Cavalry knows that the officer who spoke can be regarded as a collector in this regard. No matter how lies or corners it is, he can find out. It is probably the one here who knows the most about the true and false rumors of the Old God era.
So when he muttered, he attracted everyone's attention, and even Osvid couldn't help but glance at him.
After seeing the officer, he frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. Osvid reminded: "Does it look familiar or familiar? This is a big difference."
You may have an impression when you see the text you scanned out again, but you may not be able to react by listening alone.
He said this, stretched out his finger and wrote the name on the ground in the present text: "It's this Merlot."
Sure enough, the officer screamed "Ah", then slapped his thigh and said, "I have seen it, but I don't have a deep impression..."
He lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "It seems that only one book has mentioned his name, and there are only a few words. The book is old and broken and unreliable, so I didn't read it carefully... It seems that the goddess Tenes created a child, named him Melo, and gave him the right to live in the Holy Lake of Ana."
"Then what?"
"No, there is too little content related to him, obviously not an important person." The officer spread his hands, "When the gods fell, all the gods of the old era, including the divine objects they raised and those who lived in the palace, died. This Melo must be the same."
The clues related to this name came to an abrupt end, and it was impossible for everyone to spend all the time being to waste time, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.
Osvid ordered the men to bring the two stones with footprints and names, and took them to the team to go home.
When I entered the tomb of God from outside, I felt thrilling everywhere and full of dangers. Now I went out of the tomb of God but I didn’t encounter any bumps.
The group returned along the way, passed the Yongsheng Waterfall and rushed straight to the top of the mountain, then dived and fell back to the foot of the mountain.
Speaking of which, they didn't really stay in the underground god's tomb for too long, but the long darkness that seemed to never-see light always makes people feel like they were as long as a year. Seeing the sky light again, even the cloudy sky light on rainy days made them feel a long-lost feeling of ease...
"Tomb of the God of Light..." Osvid looked back at the Baitou Hill, feeling that this was a great irony. Fae, who once represented the supreme light and hope, knew that he was trapped in such a place after his death, he didn't know what he would feel. If any ordinary person had been tortured by this gap and stagnation...
Such a god, even if he closes his eyes and doesn't feel anything, should lie in the sun and be with this open and vibrant world.
The elite team members who were in charge of watching at the foot of the mountain were still stationed there. When they saw Osvid falling from the sky with Kevin, they all looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, Commander Fassbender, how did he--"
Osvid looked down at Kevin lying in front of him and said to everyone: "I'm just too tired. I've got the holy water and go back to the city!"
The giant eagle screamed and led a long line to break through the clouds...
There is a long river in the Golden Lion Kingdom, named Sousse, which starts with the Great Rift Valley at the highest point of the city of Sant'Antis, and the tributaries pass through various towns and end with a shallow bore on the Cro Plain outside the country.
There was once rumored that the Qianbo place was the former Holy Lake Ana described in the "Divine Calendar".
In any case, the Susse River is a veritable source of life in the Golden Lion Kingdom, and the altar pool on the altar in the central square of San Antis leads directly there.
Osvid and his friends received a total of three water capsules of holy water. According to what the priest said, throwing the holy water into the altar pool and allowing it to flow into the Susse River can save the lives of a country.
To be on the safe side, Osvid poured the holy water from one of the water bags into it and issued a nationwide order.
On weekdays, the people of the Golden Lion Kingdom use the Susai River as the main source of drinking water. At this time, various towns lined up long queues by the river. Even the Wujin Xuan Palace and the major legion base camps distributed drinking water sources mixed with holy water.
After one night, some people with extremely mild slim symptoms had already felt the effect of holy water slightly. The rigid parts were vaguely perceptive, and they were not as stiff as before. However, because the effect was slow and subtle, some even doubted whether it was a psychological factor.
But in the afternoon, when some people who petrified their fingers could bend their joints slightly, everyone was finally sure that holy water was really useful!
That day, the entire Golden Lion Kingdom seemed to have come alive from its decay. The countryside, towns, streets and markets began to speak again. People who escaped the disaster were always particularly comfortable and bright, as if any movement could amuse them.
The commander of the Imperial City Cavalry Commander rushed to the emperor again at noon that day. The content of the urgent report sent was ridiculous: "Your Majesty! The residents of the two main roads, Changteng Street and Xiaoxuanlan Street, have opened the windows! I also heard laughter from the houses of several families! Hahahaha!"
Amid a series of "haha" sounds, he was beaten out by Osvid with the sheepskin roll in his hand.
"I'm very allowed to have a lunch break, go to the priest's house to take some medicine and then come here to be stupid." Osvid threw out a angrily.
The two garrisons in the west and north also sent back the expeditionary military newspapers, indicating that the soldiers in the garrison camp also began to show signs of recovery, in good condition, and were expected to be able to return to normal soon. Mio's letter was as smelly and long as the foot binding cloth. In the second half, he flattered Kevin and Osvid on a whole page, and made Osvid's teeth sore.
To be honest, although the young Emperor still looks tense and looks calm and unstoppable, he is actually in a good mood.
The insect scourge has not been completely resolved, but the Golden Lion people with holy water are full of confidence. At night that day, the people of the imperial city even spontaneously held a prayer meeting in front of the altar in the central square.
Almost all those who could walk around came. They shouted three times towards the direction of the Xuan Palace, repeating the etiquette of the new emperor ascended the throne, and then surrounded the statue in the center of the altar.
In the middle of the altar pool stands a huge cylindrical relief, engraved with the three main gods, the rear gods of the old era, and a powerful lion.
Although Osvid did not mention the digging of graves in the national order, he mentioned the holy water of the God of Light, Phah.
The people who had relieved their lives were lying on the ground piously on the Phae statue on the giant pillar, thanking the God of Light for his holy wishes and blessings that have spanned tens of millions of years.
Osvid stood on the high tower of the Hanging Palace city wall, holding the wall piers with both hands, overlooking the gathering people under the shadows.
When he first sat on the throne, he didn't think there was anything worth fighting for or looking forward to in this position.
His former growth environment shapes his personality very self-centered. He likes to do everything himself, hates to pin his hopes on others, and hates to be entrusted to others. He even once thought that the position of emperor means taking on the safety and future of other irrelevant personnel. It is too troublesome and boring.
But at this moment, when he saw the whole city cheering, he suddenly felt that it was not that bad to have something on his shoulders heavier.
When everyone is very happy, there is one person who is very unhappy.
This man is the former God of Light, Fae, and the current commander of the Bronze Army, His Excellency Kevin Fassbender.
I don’t know if the emperor was putting too much medicine or if the wound healed repeatedly in the tomb of God before was exhausted, Kevin was sleeping longer than the last time. He slept for a whole week and really slept with his bones.
When Kevin opened his eyes, the drug had not yet reached the momentum. He looked at the thick and atmospheric dome in the palace for a long time before turning over and sitting up.
As soon as he moved, he heard the sound of "crunching" turning in every joint of his body, like a rusted four-wheeled carriage.
Fortunately, I woke up, but if I sleep, I should be paralyzed all over my body...
Kevin laughed at himself, squinted his sleepy eyes, and raised his hand to rub his sore neck.
As a result, when I raised my hand, I heard a crisp "crash" sound, like a metal collision. And my wrist probably fell asleep softly, and I felt heavy when I moved, which was quite difficult.
Anyway, it's very weird!
Kevin frowned and raised his eyelids to glance at his left hand. In an instant, all sleepiness dissipated and woke up completely.
"Which little beast that deserves to be beaten up puts handcuffs and shackles on me?" Kevin felt that he must have not woken up and was still dreaming. Maybe he dreamed about the dungeon of the North Emerald Kingdom again!
But soon, all the memories that were interrupted in his mind were connected - before he fell asleep, he was still in the main hall of the tomb of the God of Phea. The bastard Osvid dared to plot against him, and he was covered in a look of drug.
Kevin: “…” Hoho.
Who is the handcuffs and shackles? Is it still necessary to say?
At that moment, he especially wanted to go back to the holy lake of Ana million years ago. He must grab Teres and Phisa and completely cleanse them: Let you be idle and sprinkle beans to create people, look at your dear brother's current bear appearance, the descendants you created are simply going to be in awe, okay?
Unfortunately, he has no divine power now, and he is almost no different from ordinary people except that he cannot die. He can only stare at the handcuffs and shackles, silently vomiting a mouthful of blood in his heart.
No, you have to find some handy tools.
He muttered this and then carefully glanced around the room.
This is probably a sleeping house in the palace, with the specifications not even much different than that of Osvid. However, the decoration inside is brighter than that of the other side, and it is not as stern as there, and it looks like a place for young people to live in.
The handcuffs and shackles that Osvid created for him were quite humane, not tied tightly to the bed, and the chain was very long, enough for him to move freely in the room, but he just couldn't go out.
Kevin turned over and got out of bed, too lazy to find shoes, so he walked around the house barefoot, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets without hesitation.
"What are you looking for? If it's something that can be unlocked, such as a small stick, you don't have to be busy, there is no such thing as that." Osvid's voice suddenly sounded, sounding lazy, his speech was slow and slow, and his tail sound was dragged out in a casual tone, not as cold and hard as before.
Unfortunately, Kevin's ears were filled with the provocation of "Hey, you can't hit me".
Of course, this mainly comes from the subjective additions of Your Excellency Fassbender.
"I said—" Kevin was turning over a half-body stand-up cabinet. Hearing this, he straightened his waist, and simply put his elbow on the top of the cabinet, leaning against it in a very lazy posture, "Don't think that if you become emperor, I really don't dare to slap you."
His Majesty the Emperor was standing at the door, holding a silver disc with scented food and even a glass of fruit wine. He pointed to the winding iron chains in the room with his chin and said, "I know you dare, so I locked it in advance."
Kevin shook the chain on his hand: "What? Can a few chains lock me?"
Osvid condescendingly freed up a hand, gave a respectful "please" and said, "That's not necessarily the case. What if you can remove the chains with bare hands, I'm still mentally prepared."
Kevin: "..." He really can't remove it with bare hands now.
"Okay." Kevin rolled his eyes in anger, and sat back to the bed lazily with the chain, grabbed the chain and played with it in his hands, asking, "Tell me, why are you so innocently rewarding me? I also helped you open the gate of the temple and get the holy water. My dear Majesty, are you a fish in a blink of an eye?"
Osvid stared at him for a while and said, "Do you know how long you've been sleeping this time?"
Kevin looked out the window and it was still raining heavily, and he couldn't see the day: "How long?"
"Seven days," Osvid said, "The dose of my trauma I gave you is actually very small. I asked the medical officer that it can make people sleep for one night at most, but you slept for seven days. Is it because I need to tell you?"
Kevin curled his lips.
"If I guess correctly, the last time you fell asleep was because you woke up from the bottom, which was equivalent to resurrection from the dead. Even so, you only slept for three days and three nights before recovering, but you slept for seven days this time." Osvid narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You have traveled in the Tomb of Gods, and it is even more energy-consuming than you have died. I don't believe you didn't expect it in advance."
Kevin lifted his eyelids and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Osvid: "Do you still remember how you told me before leaving? When you said you wanted to go to the Tomb of God alone, your tone was as relaxed as going to have a meal. What was the result?"
Kevin shrugged, still distracted: "As a result, I did walk to the Holy Water smoothly, right?"
Osvid was too lazy to argue with him about this, but instead made a decisive move: "I bet that if I don't lock you up, you will wake up today and continue to fight your life around tomorrow."
Kevin was amused and crying: "Do I be sick or owe it? Why are you going to have fun if you have nothing to do?"
Osvid agreed: "It's really worth it."
Kevin: “…”
