Chapter 1468 Story
At that time, King Glonus of Phoenicia was also a very accomplished king. He eliminated the rebellion and banditry caused by the extravagant and lustful kings of previous generations, and at the same time managed the country. The borderlands were pacified and the Phoenician kingdom, which had fallen into decline, was revived for a time. However, although this king was capable and accomplished, he was also a cruel and superstitious monarch. He had a problem that many other kings shared, that is, he firmly believed that after death, people would ascend to another world and be reborn again.
In order to allow himself to enjoy the authority of the present generation after his death, he ordered the massive construction of his tomb, and at the same time asked the wizards in the country to use evil magic and witchcraft to kill a large number of people who served him People and soldiers were made into human figurines for burial and placed inside and outside his mausoleum.
After this was done, Glonus was not satisfied. He felt that he would be too lonely in the past, and he also hoped that his beloved would accompany him to another world. Therefore, he once again ordered his five favorite princesses to bury him alive before he died, and let the great wizard of the palace handle all these matters. Finally, the king allowed the princesses to bring their favorite treasures and choose them. The most shrewd and capable maids were buried with them because they could still serve them in another world. Amanda was one of the funeral maids.
Alice sighed: "No matter how smart a king is, sometimes he cannot escape his own life. There are too many such stories in history. However, he has harmed so many innocent people in vain. Life." But Alice quickly thought of a more important question: "What is the tomb of King Phoenician like? Is there any danger hidden there? Rune stones?”
Amanda shook her head lightly and said faintly: "I am just a maid. I don't know much about the mausoleum and His Majesty. Since my death, my consciousness was sealed into a magic bottle by the great wizard, and I have been falling into a deep sleep until someone puts it in my hands." The magic bottle moved and was taken out of the underground palace, and I gradually woke up. Therefore, I almost didn’t know anything about the situation in the mausoleum. It was only when those people took me out of the mausoleum last time that I quietly emerged from the bottle. After taking a look, it seems that there are many terrible things chasing them."
"So there is danger in the cemetery of Glonas." Alice remembered what Cobochin said. He said that they were hindered when they entered the mausoleum. In the end, only their leader and a Sudemit man entered the mausoleum. This also proved that there was danger in the mausoleum, and it was not small. In fact, as the Princess of the Demon Moon, Alice has not deliberately learned about this knowledge, but she has heard some rumors. No matter which generation of kings you belong to, they are worried that their graves will be dug up after their death, so they often set up many magic mechanisms in their graves to prevent the invasion of tomb robbers.
Alice asked: "When you were trapped at the bottom of the Moon Drinking Lake for so many years, why were you shouting for help, and why did you kill so many people?"
Amanda lowered her head. Said, "I don't really want to harm anyone, I hope someone can Find me. I am a consciousness attached to the magic bottle. The sunlight during the day will dissipate the magic power I am attached to, so I can only come out at night. I want to tell the people in the village that I am trapped at the bottom of the lake. I hope they can take me away, but they But they thought I was a female ghost and never came near the lake at night. I had no choice but to use some means to lure them into the lake. You don’t know how terrible the time at the bottom of the lake was. It's like being in prison, day and night I can only face those fish and Shrimp, you can't go anywhere. Yunyue Lake is my big prison. I don't want to stay at the bottom of the lake anymore. I want someone to take me away."
"But you can't leave the bottom of the lake now. Open the magic bottle, where can I go?”
Amanda is similar to Rodman Garcia, whom Bing Zhixie met in the forest and snow fields. They both used magic to attach their consciousness to a certain object. It's just that Garcia is attached to a fighting spirit that cannot be eliminated after thousands of years, while Amanda can only act with the help of a fragile magic power.
Amanda felt sad: "You are right, where can I go after leaving Yinyue Lake? I..." She was a little confused and helpless, looking at this strange world, for her Everything in this world is strange. Moreover, she had been living in the ancient kingdom of Phokani since she was a child. She learned from Bing Zhixie that after thousands of years, the kingdom of Phokani had long since disappeared, leaving only a desert wasteland, which made her even more at a loss as to what to do.
Seeing her like this, Alice couldn't bear it, so she said: "Well, before you think about your future clearly, just follow us for now. We will send you there when you make a decision. Where you want to go."
"Thank you." Amanda nodded gratefully.
Alice asked her to go back into the bottle, and then Bing Zhixie also came over: "Are you done talking to her?"
"Yeah."
"Then continue on your way." Bing Zhixie glanced at the magic bottle in Alice's hand and asked, "Won't you give it back to me?" "No!" Alice Si hid the magic bottle behind her back and said, "I found the magic bottle first, so I should keep it for safekeeping." She ran to the Dudu Bird and corked the magic bottle. After entering the package, he ran back and pushed Bing Zhixie out of the woods and said, "Master, nothing will happen to the magic bottle if you leave it here with me. You can rest assured and leave it to me for safekeeping."
"Huh?" Bing Zhixie was a little embarrassed and was pushed onto the back of a bird by Alice, so she had no choice but to ignore the matter.
……
The construction of Ilsius City did not stop just because Podocasiji had established a foothold here. Since the destruction of Dorentel in the east, the St. Vikia government intends to rebuild the western business district, and Safim sees it Seizing this opportunity, we intend to expand the construction of Ilsius and build it into a commercial city connecting foreign countries and the country. Now many refugees who have fled from the east have chosen to settle nearby, and the population has increased. Coupled with the resources that Penal Gate has obtained through many cooperation with the government and the funds accumulated over the years, Safim is focusing on developing industries. , allowing their financial resources to gradually get on the right track. With ample funds, he had the ambition to rebuild the new city.
In the Civic Center, Safim happily admired the gradually expanding city model on the large round table in his office. Although this place is called a municipality, it is actually only in name. It has become an area actually controlled by the Prisoners' Gate. They only need to pay a small amount of tax to Sindmore, and they can carry out legal self-government here. . This is also the reward promised to them by the two generations of King Saint Bikeya. Safim is very satisfied and satisfied with this.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
A clean-cut official with neatly combed hair, who was actually a member of the Prisoners’ Gate, opened the door and walked in. It is very standard for subordinates to treat their superiors and say to Safim: "Sir, Di Kui please come over."
These standard procedures and standard attire were all deliberately arranged by Safim. Now that he has begun to govern this area, he hopes to govern it well and make everything presentable.
"Di Kui? What does he want from me?" Safim asked. If it had been before, he would have gone over immediately and would not have asked his subordinates. But in the past two years, he and Di Kui still had some different opinions on how to govern this land.
Bodokasiji did not like Safim’s management methods. He believed that the Penal Gate should continue to use the past methods to rule the land, and should use killing and plunder to obtain funds, rather than asking for money. A government official dances with the policies implemented by the empire. He believed that Safim's approach would only make the Prisoner's Gate gradually become like the government, and eventually it would be controlled and annexed by the imperial government and become part of San Bikoya again. What he wants to establish is a country within a country, a zone that is not under the control of Saint Vicoia. Even if he wants to make changes, he should not use the current method.
