After going through a series of wars against demons, especially after occupying two demonic empires, Sbia has become a divine empire bearing supreme glory, and together with the Pota Empire "cooperating with Sbia to attack demons"
It also greatly increased her prestige. When people in Sbia were surging and their loyalty to the royal family reached its peak, she was also surrounded by the envy and jealous eyes of other empires. Of course, these empires that failed to benefit from the demons were all
Instead of sincere congratulations, they will only regret that they did not seize the good opportunity.
The Temple of Light on Paradise Island once again acted as the almighty person after the incident. Not only did it send a message of praise within the alliance, but it also sent a special envoy to come with gifts to express condolences. Although this special envoy did not have a high position, he was very impressive and did not meet anyone along the way.
, the huge team of special envoys arrived at the Holy Capital of Sibia and stationed directly in the temple. Then the high priest of Sibia was sent to send a message to His Majesty Cohen to come and meet.
"Special envoy of the temple? Do you want me to come and see you?" After hearing the news, His Majesty Cohen, who was discussing the details of the march to Riva with his staff, was a little confused. Since he came to the throne, he has rarely dealt with temple officials.
It was hard for His Majesty Cohen to understand that a special envoy who was so trustworthy and fearless of death appeared at this time, "Weird things happen every year, and there are so many this year!"
This sentence contains His Majesty Cohen's anger, because in Emperor Sibia's view, the priests of the temple should not easily provoke him if he did not go to the temple to trouble him. Did they know that he
What are you doing so that you can take advantage of this critical moment to launch a threat? But your plan to send troops is so meticulous that the forward troops that set off secretly even reached the border. There is no reason for anyone to know!
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still had to meet the special envoy of the temple, otherwise it would be useless to be labeled as contemptuous of the gods for nothing. Cohen left the matter to the staff, first told the state minister and the imperial concubines about the situation, then put on a formal dress and brought him close
Wei, went to the Holy City Temple in a mighty manner. His Majesty the Emperor, who has never had a good look on the temple, led his troops all the way through the streets and alleys. The residents of the Holy City kneeling on the roadside thought that the temple was going to be in bad luck again - this
The situation is almost exactly the same as what happened to the temple last time!
The Temple of Light located in the Holy Capital City still looks so tall and majestic from a distance, but when you arrive at the square in front of the temple, careful people can find the broken floor tiles under your feet. A dozen white-clothed priests in charge of communication stood at the gate of the temple.
At this place, His Majesty Cohen stepped out of the carriage and could tell the difference between these priests with just one glance - the robes of the Sibia priests were old, and some of the corners of the robes were frayed, while the priests from the Paradise Island Temple not only
His bright attire, temperament and demeanor are very different from others.
Since the new emperor came to the throne, due to His Majesty Cohen's indifferent attitude, the Temple of Light has had almost no activities in Sbia, and has no say in national affairs. Naturally, it cannot collect much wealth, and not only cannot guarantee its annual upward growth
To pay tribute, daily expenses have to be maintained by funds allocated by Paradise Island. The high priest once complained to the people around him that he was not as good as the high priest of Tansi. Being able to push the high priest of the temple to this point can be said to be the best in the divine alliance.
This is the only one.
Entering the gate with a group of guards, His Majesty Cohen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Although the current situation of the Sibia Temple is not good, it is far from being so bad that the robes are frayed. He wears such attire on purpose.
It's okay to embarrass yourself in front of some people... From this point of view, is it the cardinal priest who has great power? Or is he the person who has been appointed to succeed the red priest?
"Good day to His Majesty the Emperor." The high priest of the Sibiya Temple was waiting inside the second gate. He saw His Majesty Cohen walking from a distance and quickly made a series of blessing gestures. "The light of the Light God Clan will always shine on Your Majesty. Keep Your Majesty away."
Sickness, sorrow and trouble.”
"The high priest is so generous. He actually came so far to pick me up. I can't bear it!" Suppressing the disgust in his heart, His Majesty Cohen put on a smile on his face and pulled the high priest side by side along the long road.
We walked up the stairs to the tall main hall of the temple together, "I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss you quite a bit. Are you busy these days? I haven't seen you enter the palace to bless you for a long time."
"Your Majesty is joking. Your Majesty has so many things to do and is old and incompetent. How dare you go to the palace to make trouble?" the high priest replied with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold the door knocker of the main hall, and sang to Cohen for the first time.
Taiwan, "Isn't it the same with His Majesty the Emperor? Ever since I took office in the Sibia Empire, I have never seen Your Majesty come to the temple to pray to the God King of Light!"
Seeing the high priest provoking him with such language, Cohen immediately became wary. He stopped, looked at the high priest and smiled, slowly moved his steps, and made a half circle around him.
His Majesty Cohen's strange behavior attracted the attention of all the priests nearby, but the two priests in white standing close to the door lowered their heads and remained motionless, as if they were two stone statues.
"Yes, I have never been to the temple." In order to buy more time for himself to think, His Majesty Cohen slowly walked back to his previous position with a smile, and then said arrogantly: "The high priest wants to know the reason behind this.
?"
"I am old and ignorant, so I have to ask Your Majesty for advice." Seeing Emperor Sbia suddenly become arrogant, the high priest was overjoyed.
"Not coming to the temple to pray to the Gods of Light does not mean that I have not prayed elsewhere. I have proven that I am a very pious person, more pious than anyone else. As for the reason why I don't come here...
…" A strange smile appeared on His Majesty's face, and he replied loudly: "The Sibia Empire doesn't owe you a single copper, but you actually managed the Holy City Temple into such a miserable state, and you showed your displeasure to the Light God Clan in such a dilapidated place.
Praying is simply blasphemy!”
"You...you..." The high priest could not imagine that Cohen would suddenly turn against him, and he was very angry.
"You, you, you, your mother's head!" His Majesty Cohen has finished speaking the truth, and will never leave time for the other party to defend himself, so he throws a basket of swear words over his head, fully demonstrating his true nature, "What is today?
Days? Look at what you're wearing, you're just like a fucking beggar, what the hell are you doing in the temple? Get out of here!"
Then, His Majesty the Emperor showed with actual actions that he is not an emperor who only talks about his strength - he stretched out his hand and ruffled the hair of the high priest, and by the way, he broke the ribbon on his chest.
The priest ran over to persuade him, but was pushed to the ground by Cohen. No matter who the envoy was in the main hall, the high priest couldn't follow him in his current state.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." Amidst the noise, the two priests standing like stone statues beside the door came to life. They first stopped His Majesty Cohen who was messing around with a cold word, and then pushed the main door slightly open.
The voice said: "Please come in."
The cold words came out, causing Emperor Sibia to retract his hand that seemed to be still wreaking havoc. When he turned around freely, the smile on His Majesty Cohen's face had become very pure, and his whole temperament had also changed.
Graceful, heroic, generous and elegant - all smart people know that since you have achieved your goal by some means, you must find the step to get down at the appropriate time.
Pushing the door open slowly and steadily, His Majesty Cohen stepped on the floor of the main hall, looked up, and was secretly surprised.
The huge main hall was filled with large white fog, making it impossible for him to see anything. This was not the case just a moment ago! Without any hesitation, Cohen's first reaction was to take two steps forward, stop, concentrate, and observe carefully.
Looking at everything around him, countless tiny golden light spots emerged from under his uniform, slowly floating in the space with a ten-arm radius centered on him, not only hiding Cohen's true position, but also using his own swimming
The trajectory brought up streams of air, forcing away the white mist that was approaching.
The door behind him slowly closed at this time, making a soft "click" sound, which also plunged the entire main hall into darkness. Why is this? Could it be that the so-called special envoys are just a cover, and their real purpose is to murder or imprison themselves?
?
"Emperor Sibia's courage seems to have become very small." A light, emotionless sentence came from the darkness, faintly echoing in Cohen's ears, and Cohen had already vaguely guessed the identity of the special envoy, because ordinary people
It is absolutely impossible to imitate this tone when speaking. This is the unique tone of the Guangming Clan when speaking - a soft white light appeared in front of Cohen, gradually condensed into a human shape and became clear, and finally turned into a golden figure.
Tall man in armor.
"Um... do we know each other?" His Majesty Cohen looked at the shining golden man from the Protoss in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. If the special envoy is really a member of the Protoss, then he should send someone he is familiar with, such as the God of War.
Members of the Protoss are coming! Why would they send a guy they don’t know? So Cohen asked: “Are you the special envoy?”
"I am not a special envoy. I am the God of War. This time I am accompanying the special envoy." The protoss man shook his head. Only then did Cohen notice that this bright protoss actually had a pair of huge wings stretched out behind his back.
So I was surprised again. Because the protoss would never show their wings on ordinary occasions, only very formal occasions were exceptions. But now, do the aloof protoss need to arrange a very formal occasion to receive an emperor like themselves? I am not prepared.
His Majesty Cohen couldn't help but retreat in his heart, preparing to rub oil on his feet, "If I went to the wrong room, then I will go back."
"Please! Emperor Sibia." The protoss man turned slightly sideways, then raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Cohen, "You did not go to the wrong room, the special envoy is waiting for you."
Before the words of the God of War dissipated, a pure white light strip was projected straight downward from the roof. The soft and bright white light strip completely dispelled the darkness and fog in the main hall, just like laying on a light-recognizable floor.
A carpet of light was created, and the scattered light showed everything in the main hall in front of Emperor Sbia, making Cohen, who was not afraid of anything, take a breath of cold air.
A white light belt runs through the entire main hall, one end is connected to the main hall door, and the other end is connected to the luxurious giant armchair at the end. Along this white light belt, twelve members of the Light God Clan with their wings standing on each side, twenty-four pairs
The huge wings unfolded one after another in the main hall, just covering the super vast main hall. When people look at it, they will not feel that the space is wasted, nor will they feel that the space is small.
There is a huge armchair at the end of the light strip. Actually, it is not accurate to say huge, because the width of this chair is only three times wider than the throne that His Majesty Cohen sits on daily, but there is no height of any kind.
The chair can be compared with it. It can even be said that the height of this chair can be compared with the main city wall of the Holy City! Such a height, coupled with the brilliant golden light emitted from the entire backrest frame, make this chair majestic, holy and inviolable.
The style is clearly outlined.
On the fabric part of the usual armchair, there is a whole piece of extremely pure red that goes up to the roof and down to the ground. The fine flashes on it flow and change as Cohen's subtle eyes wander. After Cohen became the emperor, this kind of red
He can often see flashes and knows that this is the reflection unique to the rarest type of rubies on the continent. However, it is impossible for the current Majesty Cohen to search for enough rubies to set this chair. This is simply impossible.
Not even that! Not to mention the giant ruby on the top of the chair back, which made Cohen regret not opening the main hall when the soldiers surrounded the temple. It was a priceless treasure!
Under the soft light from all directions, His Majesty Cohen looked at this luxurious armchair that was sold to support the entire imperial army for ten years, and stepped onto the white light strip in the center of the main hall. It felt like he was walking on a warm
In the Royal Garden in spring, the fresh fragrance in the surrounding air, the breeze adapting to the temperature, and the softness and hardness of the path underfoot are all exactly the same as in my memory...
After walking less than three steps, there seemed to be music ringing in his ears. His Majesty Cohen stopped to distinguish carefully and found that it was really music. It was quite soft and melodious, and the melody and rhythm were thousands of times better than court music.
Emperor Sibia couldn't help but look left and right curiously, but he couldn't see where the music was coming from. After a long time, His Majesty Cohen finally realized that he was an emperor after all, at least on the surface he shouldn't be like the third emperor.
A country boy who once entered the imperial garden put aside all the calculations in his mind and moved on.
Halfway through, I finally saw the figure of the special envoy. There is no doubt that this is the first time His Majesty Cohen has seen such a gorgeous protoss, which is very different from the last time he saw the protoss on Paradise Island. The special envoy is sitting in the main hall
On the back chair at the end, there is the most dignified and quiet sitting posture. Although she is not as tall as His Majesty Cohen, because there are six pairs of huge floating wings intersecting behind her, and her figure is right in the center of the main hall's light,
Therefore, in terms of temperament, he is so holy that people almost dare not look at him.
His Majesty Cohen stopped thirty steps away from her - it was not required to do so. In fact, if he moved forward, His Majesty Cohen would not be able to see the full picture of such a majestic envoy. This was very important to Cohen.
It's a pity, of course not. But despite this, His Majesty Cohen is still a little dissatisfied because the special envoy's face is covered with a scarf and his face cannot be seen. What kind of trick is this? Could this make the special envoy more visible to others?
Did he feel a sense of mystery and majesty in his heart? However, Cohen could feel that the eyes of the special envoy projected on him through the veil were very peaceful, much gentler than the eyes of other protoss.
The man from the Protoss who previously claimed to be the God of War appeared beside the special envoy. He glanced at Cohen first and then said, "Your Highness, the Emperor Sibia has come to see you at Your Highness's summons."
His Majesty Cohen was used to seeing the Protoss flying around without warning, and knew that this was their unique bad habit, so he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and saluted the "special envoy" who was sitting upright, caressing his chest.
The special envoy did not react at all, but the God of War next to her raised his eyebrows at this moment, took half a step forward with his sword in hand, and sternly reprimanded Cohen, "Bold Emperor Sibia! Your Highness did not kneel down when meeting the Princess of the Light God Clan!
"
Seeing the God of War looking like he was about to kill someone, Cohen was a little confused, but he immediately realized: Although he is familiar with the eldest princess of the God Clan, he is not familiar with the followers around the eldest princess! Such a level of etiquette in
Of course it was a big crime in the eyes of the followers... But what! Now that it was like this, His Majesty Cohen was unwilling to soften in front of these followers, so he put on his face a look of shock and innocence, hoping that he had been wronged.
The eldest princess can excuse herself.
This expression is a skill that every emperor must master proficiently, and it was not difficult for Cohen to do it, very smoothly and naturally.
"It's okay. I believe Emperor Sibia is not being rude on purpose. Emperor Sibia, what do you think?" Sure enough, the special envoy waved his hand to signal the God of War to step back, but the strange thing was that Cohen couldn't be sure for a moment that this was the voice of the eldest princess.
.
"Of course, of course, I felt the incomparable sacredness and solemnity, so I lost my composure. Please forgive me, the special envoy." His Majesty Cohen followed suit, "Because I didn't know in advance that it was the princess of the Gods who came, so I was not well prepared. Please forgive me."
Princess, please forgive me."
"I didn't allow the notification." The special envoy paused and changed the subject, "Emperor Sibia, do you know why I came to Sibia this time?"
"Ah! I'm just a little human being, and I can't guess the holy will of the Gods of Light at all." Cohen, who looked pious and humble, carefully pretended to be stupid, "I still need to ask the special envoy to make it clear."
The special envoy was silent for a moment, then reached out and took off the scarf that covered his entire face, revealing his breathtakingly beautiful face, and asked: "So, does Emperor Sibia know now?"
The little princess is actually the little princess of the Light God Clan!
No matter from which angle you think about it, the person who comes to Sibia at this time and is interested in meeting Cohen should be the eldest princess, because except for the one time she visited Paradise Island, almost everything related to Sibia is about the eldest princess.
The princess takes care of everything.
But why is the little princess from the Protoss who has always hated Cohen coming this time? (To be continued)
