Chapter 14 Lord of Logos (1)
The town looked not far from the mountain, but it was actually a long distance. In addition, the place where Ella and the others landed was a mountain range. If they wanted to go down the mountain, they had to circle around the mountainside, and the road they wanted to walk was even longer.
"Your Majesty, look over there!"
Amy pointed at a huge rock ahead with extraordinary excitement. The rock seemed to have been cut by countless knives, with thousands of ravines and vaguely taking the shape of a goat.
"oh."
But Ella replied weakly. Amy had overdrawn a lot of physical strength yesterday, but now she is refreshed. Ella hasn't done anything, but she is so tired that she can't walk anymore.
Although the huge stone Amy pointed at was unique in shape, it couldn't make Ella cheer up. Along the way, she had seen many similar cut stones - this seemed to be a special local landform. At first I saw it, I felt novel, but after seeing it too much, I felt nothing.
"When will it arrive..." Ella complained, then turned back to Paracelsus who was behind, shouting, "Paracelsus, hurry up and catch up!"
Hearing Ella's urging, Paracelsus hurriedly, holding a large bag of stones and hurriedly chased after him.
"Why are you walking so fast? Look, this is flammy ore, this is copper ore. There seem to be many metal veins in this mountain range!"
"It's not my territory, so what if there are mineral veins..." Ella murmured in a low voice.
To the west of the sky, the sun is already close to the horizon.
In order not to sleep in the wild, Amy and Paracelsus had to stop looking around and speed up their pace of progress. In this way, when the sunset rose, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Your Majesty! Look here!"
Amy once again exclaimed a surprise.
"Hu, Hu, Amy, didn't you say that you shouldn't be surprised? I'm tired of seeing these stones. If you can't spend enough energy, you can carry me..."
Ella complained while catching up with Amy, but when she saw what Amy was referring to, she was stunned:
After bypassing the peaks that blocked the view, what appeared in front of us was an extremely vast plain. At the end of the plain was a wider sea, swallowing and spitting out the bright sunset. The whole world was covered with ruby-like rays, extremely gorgeous.
But what surprised Ella was not the beautiful sunset, but the circle of mountains surrounding the plains. Just where Amy pointed her finger, a mountain was cut halfway. The knife was so straightforward and powerful that it was more like being split by a person than a natural erosion.
Similar scenes reappeared again and again on the many mountains surrounding the plains. Some seemed to be chopped down by an axe, some seemed to be cut off by a knife, and some seemed to be penetrated by a spear... If these many hills are regarded as a body, then this body is simply scarred!
Amy asked blankly: "Your Majesty... Is this an ancient battlefield for the gods?"
Paracelsus's voice came from not far away: "Come here! Look at this!"
Ella walked to Paraselsus and saw him digging the soil with a stone. A rusty breastplate gradually emerged from the soil under his digging. Paraselsus pulled the breastplate out of the soil with great force, but saw that the side edge of a sword and the spearhead of a spear were exposed under the breastplate, and there were obviously more weapons buried below.
"Your Majesty, there are also here!"
Amy waved a spear that had just been dug out of the soil. The wooden handle of the spear had been completely corroded, leaving only a rusty spear tip.
Weapons buried in the soil like this are everywhere on this plain. They silently tell travelers passing by: An extremely tragic war broke out here.
What Ella was particularly concerned about was that many of these weapons were in the style of the Tianfang Empire - although it was a border, it was far away from the other end of the Tianfang Empire. If the Qiqiu Empire and the Tianfang Empire really had a battle here, then the Qiqiu Empire at that time would have been on the verge of a destruction of the country.
Ella looked up and looked at the sky, plains and sea in the distance. The red glow was like blood flowing out of those wounds, covering the entire plain.
She had roughly guessed where they were now.
"A thousand years ago, the powerful magician who claimed to be a son of god created the Tianfang Empire, and then rushed westward and attacked the Qiqiu Empire on a large scale."
Ella took Amy on the beach and told Amy about the history of the Seven Hills Empire.
"The Seven Hills Empire was defeated repeatedly and fell into two-thirds of its territory. At that time, the emperor of the Seven Hills Empire was still called Augustus, not the current Barcelona. At that time, Augustus was defeated more than 20 consecutive times and was forced to flee to the Peloponnese, but was caught up by 130,000 enemies before crossing the Gulf of Corinth. Augustus had only 10,000 guard troops, and the leader of the enemy was the terrifying magician who claimed to be the Son of God. Augustus was unwilling to surrender, so he fought a decisive battle that determined the life and death of the Seven Hills Empire."
"I know that battle," said Paracelsus. "The place of the decisive battle was the 'Nagna of the World', which is said to be considered by the Seven Hill Empire as the center of the entire world."
"The navel of the world?" Amy asked curiously.
"That's a myth. In order to determine the center of the world, the god king Zeus asked the two eagles to take off from the two ends of the world respectively. Finally, the two eagles met in one place, and that place was the 'the navel of the world'. However, I have only read this story in very ancient documents. This statement has not been said for hundreds of years in the Seven Hill Empire."
Paracelsus couldn't help but laughed: "Are you really not wrong? The gods of the Qiqiu Empire actually have to determine the center of the world in this way?"
Ella glanced at Paracelsus with dissatisfaction: "As a result of the battle, the magician who claimed to be the Son of God died in battle. The 130,000 troops of the Tianfang Empire scattered like birds and beasts. The Qiqiu Empire took this opportunity to regain a large area of land that fell and continued the empire to this day."
Ella took Amy to turn a corner, and a towering cliff suddenly appeared in front of her. The cliff was polished and smooth, with several ancient and powerful words engraved on it:
"In the seventy-seventh year of the empire, Emperor Nero, the ruler of the Qiqiu Empire, and the great Augustus, defeated the Tianfang Empire here."
