Chapter 252 The World Gathers Here (3k)

Looking at the empty altar, the knight turned around and asked:

“Are there any protective measures?”

The witch stepped forward solemnly, and after she confirmed that there was nothing on the altar, she sighed and said:
"No. Someone must have arrived here before us and taken the holy remains away. Although the magic cube in my hand is the only guide, it has been three eras, and it is not impossible that someone accidentally broke in because of good luck."

"But since the Old Continent has remained safe and sound for three epochs, it means that the Holy Relics should still be in the Old Continent."

The knight said helplessly:
"I wanted to ask from the beginning, how come we can get into such an important place so easily? Didn't the people back then think of leaving behind some kind of guard or isolation magic?"

The witch shook her head and said:

"It seems that because of the characteristics of the holy remains, they can only hide it, and there is no way to leave any spells of protection. As for guarding, too strong will attract attention, and too weak will be meaningless. Therefore, this temple has no protection except for being hidden underground."

Theoretically, this is enough, because the temple is hidden away, and if no one knows about it, who can find the underground ruins in the entire Old Continent?
To this end, they also left behind the Rubik's Cube as the only guide that could be found.

This was also a popular method of hiding treasures in the Second Era.

And it really makes most people not know how to find the treasure without corresponding guidance.

Even the prophets!

but now.
The knight said helplessly:
"Then how do we find the holy remains now?"

The witch said sadly:
"I do not know either."
-
With the strong support of six Roman angels.

The Romans finally gathered an extremely large army.

They came from all over the world, from various dynasties, empires, and principalities.

Although they are only the standing army of their respective countries and not the absolutely elite troops like the Dwarf Kingsguard.

But such a huge number is terrifying just by hearing about it.

According to the fishermen who make a living from fishing in the sea.

Throughout the entire day, no matter when they looked up, they could see a huge group of airships in the sky.

They are arranged neatly, look vigorous and majestic.

And on the Roman side, looking at such a huge army.

Everyone started laughing.

Especially the last of the Roman nobles.

Although it was a huge price to pay, as long as their status and power could be guaranteed, it would be nothing more than a hard life.

And it may not necessarily be a hard time, they can just increase the intensity of exploitation!
Anyway, without Augustus and his army of honor, could those untouchables still threaten their rule?

Totally impossible!
Since it is impossible, you can just squeeze it.

Otherwise, they can't really make themselves suffer, right?
For the Roman nobles, or for most of the nobles in the world today, they would never affect the quality of life of the untouchables in order to make their lives better.

Even a wine glass that they may throw away after using it is worth more than a middle-class family's annual income.

The six Roman angels personally welcomed the leaders from various places with great enthusiasm.

To be honest, even for them, it was the first time they had seen such a big scene.

Looking at the airships that have filled the entire sky, any one of the six Roman angels would not be able to help but nod.

That’s great! If they lose again this time, they will commit suicide on the spot!

They have gathered the forces of the entire world, they have many demigods, and even many angels like them.

Except that the gods and kings were not present in person.

There was almost no absence of that dynasty or the Orthodox Church.

This even includes those long-eared creatures that were previously unreachable!
To be honest, when seeing the rigid elves and stubborn dwarves appear, not to mention the Romans, even the other countries were stunned.

In short, except for the Pure White Dynasty which was in a national mourning, everyone who could come came.

The Roman envoys did not dare to go to the Pure White Dynasty at all. They did not dare to provoke a goddess who had just lost her husband and might go crazy at any time.

The cold and elegant Moon Goddess It can be said that the pure white Aurora is a goddess who is not good at fighting, but the Old Continent is not qualified to say so.

It is easy for a true God to clean up the Old World.

So everyone tacitly agreed to ignore the Pure White Dynasty as if it didn't exist.
-
And at this moment within the Pure White Dynasty.

Crown Prince Adela also changed into a dark lacquered mourning dress.

The entire palace has changed from its previous pure white color to its current dark black lacquer color.

Although the court officials still respected him as a prince, Adela could clearly sense their despair about the future.

What will become of the goddess after losing her king?

There are so many examples in this world.

Not to mention the distant past, just take the Moon Goddess who killed the king as an example. She is an extremely obvious example.

After the Moon King died, she has been trapped in the sky, and people cannot even see the cold dark moon that represents her except on certain days.

During this period, even though the vampires chose to embrace the Blood Moon, an extremely obvious act of betrayal, they were unable to get Dark Moon to even look at them.

There is also the Storm Goddess who sank herself into the depths of the Storm Ocean after the death of King Richard the Lionheart. Even though the Round Table is still there, the chivalrous spirit that countless people once yearned for has been trampled upon in the name of God by the gradually out-of-control Storm Church.

The current Storm Church and the former Knight Church are two completely different entities.

The Round Tables were also powerless in maintaining the spirit of chivalry and the last bit of dignity of the Church of the Storm.

Even though she was not a goddess yet, but only the Goddess Ansha, the ruling light of the first angel of Sequence, was disheartened during the twenty years after losing the Sword and Shield King.

In addition, there are many examples right in front of them. The goddesses, the kingdom without the king, and the church are constantly telling them how worrying their future will be.

Everyone knew that the beauty promised by Pure White was a false dream, because everyone knew that Aurora only loved herself at that time.

Everything outside of her is just a beautiful embellishment for her to decorate herself.

But at least that's what people within the Pure White Dynasty really think.

So they were also worried about the future of the goddess and the dynasty.

The only thing they can hope for now is that the goddess can be like the Shadow Sun.

Although she is also a goddess who has lost her king, at least the Shadow Sun has been leading the elves forward on behalf of the Eternal King.

But, is it really possible?
No one knows about this.

The same is true for Adela.

He could only comfort his brothers and sisters and go to his mother's bedroom alone.

After his father passed away, he, the last of the royal bloodline, was the only one who could still talk to the goddess.

Seeing the prince coming, the pure white knights who were guarding the place on their knees stood up and left.

They were unable to follow the goddess and the king in the final battle, so they were unwilling to stand up.

Adela knocked gently on the dark, closed door.

After knocking several times, there was no response at all.

This made Adela sigh and push open the door.

The pure white goddess showed no reaction to his arrival.

She had been standing blankly in front of the only decoration in the hall - a huge portrait of the White King.

Looking at her mother like this, Adela couldn't help but lower her head.

Then he knelt on one knee and said:

"Mother, I'm here. Everything is fine in the country now. Don't worry, I will definitely lead this country forward for you and my father!"

At this moment, Adela was a little reluctant to get up.

Because he really felt so tired. When the king suddenly passed away, everything in this huge dynasty inevitably fell on his shoulders.

And with his mother, the only place where he could find a little respite.

Even though he is a prince, he is still a mother's child.

Although, neither his mother nor his father actually loved him.

But he can't keep running away. He is the last hope of this country. If he runs away, who else can stand up?

His brothers and sisters simply cannot support this country.

"Mother, I will leave first. I will come to see you in the evening."

After Adela finished speaking, she stood up with difficulty and prepared to leave.

But before he completely left the hall, he heard the long-lost call:

"Adela!"

It was his mother's voice, and the unexpected call made Prince Adela turn around instantly.

Did the mother cheer up?
What surprised Adela even more was that his mother actually said to him:

"You, you've always wanted that ice pony as your messenger, right?"

Mother, do you still remember this?
My mother really cheered up, and she didn't just love my father, she still remembered me, her biological son, and she still remembered what I wanted!
Adela actually cried at this moment.

Adela knelt on the ground in tears:
"Yes, but mother, I don't want it anymore. I don't want anything anymore. I just hope you can cheer up!"

The goddess changed from her pure white dress to black mourning clothes and walked up to her son.

After hesitating for a moment, she squatted down carefully.

He raised his hand and touched Adela's face.

But she didn't wipe away her child's tears, she just kept stroking them.

Looking at this face that is more similar to her own than her husband's, the goddess's face is filled with disappointment and helplessness.

"Let's go to the spirit world and I'll help you catch it."

Adela wanted to continue to reiterate that she no longer needed this.

But looking at his mother's look of disappointment and loss.

He still nodded:

"Okay, mother, let's go to the spirit world and take a look."

This made the goddess' face glow with joy:

"Well, let's go to the spirit world now, let's go catch it. You've always liked it, and he told me about it. He always told me that once things settle down, he will go with me to help you catch the white ice Pegasus!"

It's not the mother who remembers, it's the father who remembers.
The joy on Adela's face also froze slightly.

But seeing that his mother finally took some action other than standing still, he followed her to the spirit world in silence.
