Chapter 7 Mondy II

"Your Highness, it's getting late now. We should go back a long time ago." Thorben's tone was full of uneasiness and concern.

"Tolburn, what am I talking about to you? I'll call me Roddy outside." Mondy said as she looked at the stage.

No matter how many times he looked, the bulges on both sides of Thorben's forehead always made Mondy feel funny, and his short hair made it worse.

Thorben sighed and said reluctantly: "Rody, it's time for us to go home."

"Wait a little longer, Thalburn, I've just arrived at the wonderful place now."

Mondy's favorite drama, "The Age of Heroes", is being performed on the stage.

The drama tells the story of the "Seventeen Years' War" more than 300 years ago. At that time, many heroes of the Apollion family emerged. They suppressed the rebellion, resisted the offensive of the Saverios in the East, and unified the Duhoyet continent from defense to offense in one fell swoop.

"Sir Imbel, we are surrounded! What should we do?" the soldier shouted at the silver armored knight in the center of the stage, looking at the enemies around him.

"Nemir is here, we will fight to the last one! Get your weapons ready!" Imbel pulled out the long sword from his hand and put it on his shoulders, with a resolute look on his eyes, ready to greet the enemy troops forward.

At this time, smoke and dust rose everywhere on both sides of the stage, and artificial horse hooves and horse neighing came.

"Amber Cavalry! It's Lord Elwad! We are saved!" the soldier shouted excitedly.

Mondy doesn't remember how many times he has watched the performance of "Heroic Age" so that he can memorize every line.

"Amber Knight" Elwald Apollion was his favorite historical figure as a child and the most powerful knight in the history of the empire.

He is the elder brother of "Human King" Imbel, and he is remembered by future generations for his unparalleled martial arts and transparent amber-like orange-red armor.

Elwald was wearing amber armor and holding a cavalry rifle. He was wearing a war horse made of wooden strips under his crotch, supported by four wheels to move.

He took the lead and killed the enemy in front of him and fled in disguise.

"elder brother!"

After driving the enemy away, Elwade dismounted and took off his helmet and walked towards Imbel.

"My brother!"

Imbel opened his arms and hugged Elwade, "History will remember this day, remember you!"

After the speech, the performance ended, the two of them bowed to the audience and thanked them together with the other performers.

"good!"

Mondy and the other audience members stood up and applauded.

The scene they performed just now was the last battle between the Hastza Empire and the Savirios.

Imbel was surrounded by ambush while leading his army through the wetlands. At a critical moment, his brother Elwad and his "Amber Cavalry" arrived at the battlefield and successfully rescued the siege, ending the final resistance of the Saverios.

To commemorate the end of the war and the feat of "Amber Knights", the nearest city next to the battlefield was renamed Amberia, meaning "City of Amber".

"Sure enough, no matter how many times you read the classic, you won't feel bored!" Mondy said to Thorben.

"Prince... His Highness Roddy, we have finished watching the performance, it's time for us to go back," said Thorben.

"Don't be so anxious," Mondy smiled, "Don't you think this story and performance are wonderful? The martial arts of the Amber Knight and the Human King are unparalleled in the world, and the deep affection of their brothers has also been passed down as a legend by the world.

Although Elwad died young, Imbel also rejected his subordinates' proposal to be emperor because of grief. But half of the credit for Agrik III, the son of the human king, was called the "Great Man."

"This is indeed one of Hastza's most classic history, but the church says that drama will make people addicted to entertainment and interfere with daily life and work." Thorben replied seriously.

"Church? Oh." Mondy didn't react at the first time, "I realized that you are a church member of the Supreme God and you still have a beard."

Since the Empire was forced to allow the Holy Palassis Empire to preach within its territory, the influence of the Supreme Gods has grown and spread like weeds and cannot be eradicated.

“It is not necessary to shave when you believe in the Supreme God, Your Highness,” said Thorben. “I think a lot of the teachings they say are very helpful to me, and I can find peace in it.”

After saying that, he closed his eyes with his hands closed.

"It's night now, there's no sun, so where do you face when you pray?"

Mondy knew some rules of the Supreme God Church, such as facing the direction of the sun when praying, because the sun is their Supreme God.

"At night we face the east, facing the avatar of the sun, Imnacha."

The direction Thorben faced was indeed towards the east, the direction of the Holy Palassis Empire.

"All right."

Mondi couldn't stand the Supreme God Cult, the Holy Palassi Empire, and even more so did the Emperor Imnacha Apollion, who had made himself the incarnation of the sun.

Why do idiots convert to this belief?

During the "Apostate Rebellion" a hundred and twenty-three years ago, the young emperor Igomel V was defeated in the battle with "Apostate" Igonud Apollion.

Although the empire blocked the rebels' offensive at the Kubao, it was finally forced to cede most of the territory, including the capital Xingyue City, and the right to preach in the remaining Hastza Empire forever.

The insignificant sun god Avesu was regarded as the supreme god and also named himself the "Holy Lord" of his incarnation. This arrogance will sooner or later bring Nemir's punishment.

The Star Pantheon headed by Nemir is located just north of the square, at the intersection of Fengxing Street and Renwang Street.

A faint torch shines on the corners of its ancient stone structure and the mosses on it.

After the crowds watching the show gradually dissipated, Mondy discovered that two men were painting something on the exterior wall of the temple.

"What are you doing!" shouted Thorben and ran towards them.

After hearing the shouts, the two of them immediately put down their work and ran straight into the alley behind the temple, leaving behind the unfinished red graffiti and paint buckets.

Mondy walked up to check and saw that "Pseudo-God Nemir" was written on the wall, and a few letters were missing in the end.

"Damn it." Mondy cursed.

"His Highness Mondy," Thorben did not chase into the alley, "It is not safe here, we have to go back."

"Did you see what they look like?" Mondy asked.

"No, it's too dark." Thorben shook his head.

"I need to say something to the priests in this temple, so that they can pay more attention to these troublemakers in the future." Mondy looked angry.

This is the largest temple in Madkalin City, where the blessings and sacrifices participated by the royal family were completed, and its high priest was also his uncle Bechar Apollion.

"I didn't just talk about you."

"I understand below."

After saying that, the two walked into the temple.

The darkness outside was replaced by the torch light inside the temple, and the walls inside the building were covered with textures of alternating gold and gray.

There is a painting on the dome that tells the story of the gods headed by the star god Nemir and humans living together in the Star Hall.

This is a legendary scene before humans violated the gods and were permanently exiled to the human world.

In front of the center of the temple is the statue of Nemir.

Sitting on the throne, he was as tall as five people. Nemir placed his left hand on the armrest and his right hand held a gray sphere in front of him, which people called it the "eternal lens".

Through the Eternal Lens, Nemir can see the stars and all things on earth, their past, present, and future.

Nemir was graceful, with strong and well-developed breasts and abdomen under his half-covered robe, and he had a thick beard and curly hair like the Hastza.

His eyes were staring at the eternal lens, observing and examining people's every move.

In front of the magnificent statue of God, a sense of humility arises naturally.

In his sigh, Mondy vaguely heard the sound of dripping water coming from the statue and smelled the metallic smell in the air, which gave him a bad feeling.

Mondy began to focus and looked around quickly.

Unfortunately, the blood flowing from under the Throne of Nemir proved that his guess was correct.

"Your Highness, Prince." Thorben pulled out the short sword from the scabbard tied to his right leg, protected Mondy behind him, and steadily approached the statue behind him.

"Your Highness Prince Mondy, I don't think you would want to see this." Thorben turned around and said to Mondy.
