Chapter 211 (1/2)
At the end of the mural, the twin emperors designed a unique ritual to help the ethnic group bear the curse.
Orianna speculated that he should have received some booty in the process of sealing lukaccia, such as knowledge, books, sacred objects, mysteries, etc. this ritual should be designed in combination with these.
Later, in order to hold the ritual, he made a series of measures that seemed particularly absurd to outsiders.
First, I don't know what means I used to forcibly raise the plain forest area where the elves originated into today's elves garden.
With his strength at that time, he should not have been able to do such a thing. He mostly borrowed the booty from lucacia.
This aroused the strong opposition of the elves, but it was forcibly suppressed by the twin emperors by bloody and cruel means, forcing countless residents to leave their homes and be displaced.
Then he began a series of levies, forced a large number of civilian men and craftsmen, and began to build this huge temple.
For the Elven Empire, which had gradually declined at that time, it was just like making it worse.
The whole ritual process took nearly 100 years, and almost squandered all the money left before the elf empire.
During this period, several rebellions broke out in China, and the twin emperors were assassinated dozens of times.
Countless bards composed poems of his atrocities and sang them everywhere. From children to the elderly, they all thought he was a madman, mentally ill and a tyrant who wanted to lead the country to perish together.
But all these were forcibly suppressed by him with a strong force.
”They hate us, even if we want to save them...”
”This is also the suffering we should bear.”
”They will eventually abandon us...”
”This is also our responsibility.”
In the last mural, the twin emperors walked into the temple alone, closed the door tightly, leaving only a trace of their back.
So far, the story came to an abrupt end, and no one knows what happened later.
But they should have succeeded.
Because the elves still exist.
Even though they have declined to the point where they can't gain a foothold on the mainland and have been driven to isolated overseas islands, they are still alive.
No one knows about the yarakas in the same period
The twin emperors who saved the ethnic group are missing, and few people know his sacrifice. His history and records are strictly controlled. His final impression in the elves is fixed on the image of a ”crazy tyrant”.
Today, young elves like evya still have great prejudice against him and are afraid of him.
He saved the group, but was abandoned by the group.
”It's really not easy for a civilization to survive...”
Rohr sighed in a low voice.
”I wronged him. It turned out that he was such a great emperor...”
With emotion, evya knelt in front of the last figure, clenched her fingers and whispered in ELF language.
Probably something like a memorial?
As for Orianna, after sorting out the historical knowledge in her mind, she helped to supplement the following plot:
”According to some of our previous discoveries, the elves really began to decline from the time when the twin emperors were in power. At first, we thought it was caused by the emperor's poor governance. Now it seems that there is another secret.”
”Moreover, although the Elves were weakened after that, they did not have the opportunity. At least in the subsequent process of competing with humans for the mainland, they still showed great strength.”
”This shows that the curse was really borne by the twin emperors. After a thousand years of recuperation, the elves became strong again and showed signs of revival.”
”Unfortunately, they still maintain the same arrogance, make serious mistakes in judging the situation, and the extraordinary system is not perfect, it is too old, and underestimates the power of mankind, which leads to the end of living on a desert island.”
Rolle and Corey listened carefully, nodding their heads all the time.
Finally, Ariana did not forget to tell her:
”Cori, when you go back, you must sort out the story of the twin emperors. This kind of hero who made great sacrifices for the ethnic group, even the former enemy, deserves our praise.”
Kerry held her picture book tightly with both hands and nodded hard.
”Well, let's go to the last floor. There should be more stories recorded there?”
Rolle said again.
So they went up to the top of the temple and planned to see the final outcome of the twin emperors.
But the stairway was blocked by a huge stone gate.
The door is carved with the pattern of a ferocious monster with wings on its back, which is very similar to the pattern on the temple gate restored by evya.
This shows that evya's restoration is still in place.
”So what the hell is this? It's carved on two key doors.”
Rolle asked.
”Maybe this is what the god they believe in, lucacia?”
Kerry boldly speculated.
To be honest, this conjecture is not very reliable. There is a big gap between the huge lucacia pattern of the underground relics in the fertile valley and the one on the door, except that they all have wings and are very ferocious.
However, the historical records after artistic processing are like this. The images of the same character at the same time often show various differences because of the recorder's understanding, which is also a very common phenomenon.
The two images, originally carved by two civilizations, are quite different and normal.
So Orianna didn't refute, but touched Kerry's helmet and said as her mother praised her daughter:
”You're right. I also have such a guess. What we do in historical research is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify!”
”Ke Li also has such thinking. It seems that this activity has made great progress!”
Rolle couldn't help laughing. He benefited a lot from his trip. He not only solved the historical mystery, but also witnessed his daughter's growth. He was very happy.
However, the last door was not easy to open. Whether it was pushed or pulled or separated to the left and right, the door remained motionless, as if it had been completely sealed.
”Then... Only...”
He said, took out his sword and planned to open the door in a simple and rough way.
As a result, Orianna and Cori pulled his arm from left to right, and even evya hugged his waist from behind.
”That won't work!”
”Dad, no!”
”Please don't destroy the ruins of the great ancestors!”
emmmmm
Rolle had to take back his sword in embarrassment, and then take off the women wrapped around him one by one.
In other words, even if the daughter, how can the other two adult women not consciously give up? Are you not afraid of being taken advantage of by me?
”There's a way to open this door. There are words engraved next to it.”
For fear that rolle would be rude again, evya quickly picked up the magic guide light stick and lit up the walls around the stone gate.
At the top of the door is engraved with large characters written in elvish language: 'tomb of the abandoned'
It seems that the twin emperors have known their end and end, and have given themselves the title of 'deserter'.
Then, on the surrounding walls, some warning warnings are engraved:
”Don't disturb your Majesty's rest!”
”Don't approach, don't ask, don't explore!”
