Chapter 67 Six Pillars of the 66 Empire
Chapter 67 66. Six Pillars of the Empire
Under Sera's care, the condition of the stupid dragon recovered quickly. The scales on his body regained their luster, the rotten smell in his mouth was relieved, the inside of his mouth was no longer covered with foul-smelling mucus, and his teeth were cleaned by the two puppets under Sera's command.
The stupid dragon cooperated with Sera's treatment obediently throughout the whole process. Except for occasionally scratching Sera and asking Lulu how long it would take to go home, he stayed quietly in Sera's yard at other times, chasing the passing birds and bees and being in a daze for a whole day.
After a long time, the birds were not afraid of the stupid dragon. They landed on the stupid dragon one after another, chirping and shouting, as if they wanted to call their friends to check in at this magical attraction together.
Compared with the leisure of the stupid dragon, Sera was much busier.
As the chosen one of God, it is not okay to be lazy every day. You have to go out and show up.
It was the spring ploughing season, and Sera was going to the fields to pray to the gods for a good harvest this year.
Both serfs and ordinary people were impressed by Sera's holy posture and solemn expression when she prayed, and they could not help but follow her to pray to the unknown God of Light to give the land a good harvest and abundance.
After finishing the spring ploughing prayer, Sera went to the cathedral where the statue of the main god of the Holy Kingdom, Silver Maple, was located.
As soon as she appeared, the young Bishop David came up to greet her happily.
"Sera, the chosen one, I heard it again, I heard it again!"
Sera was speechless, but the smile on her face had to be maintained.
"What was it this time?"
"Uh... Actually, I heard it, but it seemed that I didn't hear it... or I didn't hear it clearly?"
David's words perfectly explained what it meant to listen to the words of the king as if they were his.
David seemed not to notice the embarrassment and continued, "It's okay. As the Chosen One said, as long as I continue to maintain a pious heart, I will definitely be able to hear the words of the God of Glory in person."
"The God of Glory bless you."
Avoiding David and other bishops who seemed to be in a meeting, Sera walked around the cathedral for a whole circle, making sure that most people here saw her appear, and then turned and left.
She didn't want to be entangled by the princes and nobles who happened to visit, and drag her to discuss the God of Glory, accompany them in prayer, and listen to their confessions.
The confessions of the princes and nobles were boring. They were not truly repentant, nor did they regret it. They just came to seek comfort in their hearts.
The baron who confessed that he tried to seize other people's property should still do it after returning home.
The earl who secretly harmed his brother to become the heir of the family, hypocritically asked the God of Glory to find the murderer for him, and cried uncontrollably under the main statue.
The nobles who claimed to be kind to their serfs in exchange for the blessing of the God of Light symbolically distributed a few pieces of moldy black bread. Suddenly one day, they got lucky and thought that the prayer was effective. They immediately asked the serfs to work twice as hard to earn back what they had eaten before.
Sera never thought that there was anything wrong with not believing in God and becoming God's chosen one. How many of the believers who came to pray were cleaner and purer than himself?
They believed in the supreme goodness and pure light in their eyes, but after returning, they did stories that could only be told after nightfall.
Compared with them, Sera's disregard for the God of Light was nothing.
Sera was about to leave, but he never thought that the high priest Stuart caught up with him.
"God's chosen one, there are two guests from the Solon Empire who may need your company... Are you busy with something else?"
Sera's smile froze, but then returned to normal.
"No, there is nothing urgent. The guest from the Solon Empire is not Princess Tanya, right?"
"No, no, no, it was Fedina, one of the six pillars of the Solon Empire, who brought an unknown guest, and has been staying under the main statue of the Silver Maple for a long time. I heard from a duke that the one from the Fedina family had said before that he wanted to see you, but because you were not there, he did not mention it again... and he also wanted to go to the Silver Maple Tree to take a look."
Sera commissioned the librarians of the Holy Kingdom to find content related to "Yas". Today happened to be the agreed date, and her mind was not here at all. She planned to punch in and leave as a routine.
However, Fedina's identity is very special.
Six hundred years ago, the spirit of infection swept across the Mera continent, and countless countries were destroyed in this catastrophe, causing the major races to put aside their past grudges and cooperate with each other.
On the ruins of many kingdoms in the area where the Solon Empire is located, the six leaders reorganized an effective resistance.
Under their leadership, the predecessor of the Solon Empire not only repelled wave after wave of invasions, but also successfully waited for the arrival of the coalition forces of other races and worked together to kill the Infected Spirit.
After the Infected Spirit ended, the Solon Empire was established, and these six leaders were also called the Six Pillars of the Solon Empire.
As time passed, no matter how strong the family was, it could not escape the fate of decline.
At first, the Six Pillars had a great influence on the Solon Empire, but their successors were not up to the task, and the Solon Empire was strong, secretly suppressing the Six Pillars, stripping them of their influence, leaving only honorary titles, so the Six Pillars gradually began to decline.
Today's Six Pillars are no longer the pillars that supported the empire in the past, but a passionate passage in the history books, and also a sculpture placed on a high platform for people to admire and worship.
With the prosperity of the Solon Empire in recent years, the Six Pillars have become increasingly unknown.
If it weren't for Roye Fedina, the most amazing warrior of the Fedina family in recent years, I'm afraid even Sera would have forgotten this history.
After all, the Ferdiner family is famous for its expertise in martial arts and its ability to match high-level magic with pure power.
Sera walked slowly into the church where the Silver Maple main statue was located.
Roye Ferdiner, with short flaxen hair, was wearing a silver-white chainmail and sitting in the first row of chairs. He looked up and looked at the main statue that was copied from the Silver Maple sacred tree, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
Hearing Sera's footsteps, Roye turned his head slightly.
"Glorious Chosen Sera Ophelia greets you."
If Sera hadn't seen him in person, she would never have believed that Roye was an adventurer rated as crystal-level, and his strength was almost equivalent to that of a sixth-level magician.
Roye exuded a bookish air, and even the lines on his face looked very soft when he smiled, unlike those killer embryos who were ready to draw their knives and chop people at any time.
Roye introduced himself politely and coughed at the same time.
The girl who was sitting not far away and reading a book shuddered and stood up belatedly.
"Xia Leim... Hello."
The self-introduction was so brief that it couldn't be any briefer. I didn't know whether Xia Leim was her first name or last name...
The long black hair was unkempt and fell in a mess. The light blue eyes covered by it were a little sleepy.
Xia Leim's face was very attractive. She had some baby fat, but she looked cute and lovely. She was the kind of person who would want to take another peek if you took a glance at her on the street.
Sera suddenly fell into deep thought.
How many times did he peek at Lulutis when he first met her?
Roye completed the introduction for Xia Leim.
"Xia Leim Qian is a magician."
Sera repeated the name, and something in the depths of her memory was awakening.
The Qian family of the Six Pillars?
This is a rare thing. If Sera remembers correctly, in order to prevent the six pillars from contacting each other, the Solon Empire divided their fiefdoms to the six most remote places in the empire when the six pillars just declined, under the euphemistic name of "opening up the wilderness and guarding the border".
As time goes by, the six pillars that are far apart have less and less contact, and the replacement of heirs has also made the friendship of the older generation more and more rare. It is said that there are internal conflicts among the six pillars.
Now two of them have gathered here, and they seem to have a good relationship?
"Can I call you Roye?"
"Please."
"So, Roye, what do you want to pray for under the Silver Maple Statue today? Do you want to pass on your wishes to God through me?"
Roye turned his head and looked at the main statue made in imitation of the Silver Maple Sacred Tree, and asked: "I heard that under the sacred tree, you can hear the voice of the God of Light and be protected by the God of Light. Is this true?"
Sera: "The pious will naturally get it."
Roye was silent for a long time, and then asked: "People with good intentions can get responses, and people with evil thoughts will be spurned... But if you have good intentions, but you have to use evil thoughts to successfully spread good intentions... What will God think?"
Roye's eyes are clean and clear, reflecting the sacred posture of the statue in his eyes.
Seeing that Sera was hesitant to answer, Roye smiled apologetically: "Yes, such questions should not be asked to God."
Sera also smiled.
"I won't ask you what you are longing for, but you already have the answer in your heart, so why bother to ask God?"
Roye pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
"Let's change the subject. I heard that God's Chosen Sera is a friend of the great magician Lulutis. So does God's Chosen know her whereabouts?"
Sera became alert. Why did everyone miss Lulutis after she disappeared?
Isn't she here for the Shaman rebellion?
"You might as well ask Princess Tanya. She and Lulutis are also close friends. Maybe she can have some information that I don't know?"
"Tanya... I can't talk to her." Roye stood up and patted the confused Shalem lightly, which made her shudder.
"Thank you for the company of God's Chosen. I have a question... Can I really not go to the sacred tree?"
Sera just smiled and didn't answer.
Roye took Shalem's hand and bowed slightly to Sera and left the cathedral.
Watching the two men leave, Sera was thoughtful.
"Did something happen to Solon that we don't know about?"
"Why is it that since Lulutis Sandman put down the rebellion, so many things have become unclear?"
