The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
"It can be said that... the story of the Sun God has been passed down for many years, and most of the records are in the ancient portraits in various temples and stories passed down orally." said the high priest.
"So that's how it is."
Instinct told him that the high priest probably had something he was afraid to say.
He had indeed spoken Nyarlathotep's name during the ritual, and at that moment he felt [nervous!].
Even though it was just a small change in state, Sean noticed it no matter how well he hid his expression...
Nyarlathotep.
This name was undoubtedly that of an ancient god, for he had heard it from his enemies before, and the high priest's appearance clearly indicated that he had heard of this name before.
But now that the Sun King is present, it is not convenient for him to ask. At least he should wait until there is no one around, or come here alone one day.
Anyway, I will stay in Jagun for a long time in the future...
At least I will stay in the capital of Jagun until Frelia comes, so I have plenty of time to talk about these things slowly.
The three continued to walk deeper into the mausoleum.
The royal mausoleum is the burial place of almost all the members of the Izdihar family, except for a few who were beheaded during the difficult war and buried with only their clothes.
Almost everyone else is buried here.
And his mother, the previous queen, who brought him honor, was also lying in a crystal coffin.
"The previous queen passed away not long ago, so it hasn't been completely sealed yet... I suggested this to the king before, but at the time I thought I should wait a little longer. Now it seems that waiting was the right decision."
"Otherwise, Your Highness might not even be able to see her." The high priest behind him explained.
Sean walked closer to the transparent coffin.
This thing uses some special materials and magic to maintain internal stability. Now, except for the skin color turning pale, the face of the person lying there can still be seen intact.
It was much more beautiful than the portrait displayed in Thelemien's house, although Sean guessed that his mother was about forty or fifty years old when she died.
But the years have only left a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and overall she looks more like a woman in her thirties.
Lie in it peacefully and calmly!
I don't know what this feeling is. Maybe it's really a blood connection. When Sean saw the woman lying in the coffin, his heart was also extremely heavy...
He looked at her a few more times, as if to imprint her features in his memory.
"When did she die?" he asked behind him.
"About three years ago," replied the Sun King.
Three years ago...
Before I came into this world, I was one year ahead of Baron Viger.
What a pity!
The couple were unable to see each other for more than ten years, and finally died sadly in places thousands of miles apart from each other.
I felt someone holding my shoulder.
"We will remember her and everything she did." The Sun King's words brought Sean back to reality.
Suddenly, the assassination attempt on Baron Weigel came to my mind again.
"How did my mother die?"
He turned and looked at the two of them.
At this moment, the High Priest and the Sun King fell silent at the same time, and a look of "difficulty!" and "mixed emotions!" appeared over their heads.
"Why, this falls under the category of not being able to tell me?"
"Not really, don't think too much about it, Sean. I should have told you about this a long time ago, but you just came back yesterday and there is a huge sacrificial ceremony today, so I didn't tell you." He looked at the high priest beside him, and his eyes seemed to ask him to speak.
Royal matters are sometimes difficult to discuss, especially when they involve people of higher status, and an outsider is needed to speak on their behalf.
"Your Highness, the Queen has actually been in a bad mood since she returned."
"Not feeling well?"
"Yes, I felt like I had completely changed. I was constantly nervous, and in the end, I even got sick." The high priest was hesitant as he spoke, and it was obvious that he had been picking out the good things to say.
"Actually, my sister stopped caring about state affairs after returning to Jagun. I once wanted her to continue on as the Sun King, but she refused and spent a lot of time studying other things."
"What are those specific aspects?"
"For example, the ancient theologian. She had been researching a legend about the southern sea, but in the end, nothing came of it."
"In fact, there are many churches that study this ancient theology, but many of them are hostile to each other. If Your Highness thinks about the country, it is best not to touch any temple other than the sun god." The high priest's reminder had a hidden meaning, and probably only Sean could tell that he was talking about what happened just now.
It seems that he has indeed heard of the name Nyarlathotep.
[Time Ruler] However, he inexplicably told himself useless things. Since the ability of the Lord of Time allowed him to know this name, it means that it is something related.
"So my mother died while researching these things?"
"She fell asleep like a normal person and never woke up again. I've always believed that the knowledge of these ancient evil gods murdered her. Otherwise, with her level 17 Orderer abilities, no one could have assassinated her so quietly."
Poof!
What!
Orderer level 17.
Such a high level...even Sean couldn't believe it.
Level 17.
It is half a level higher than Melsusa. Although it is only half a level, when you reach such a top level, it is very difficult to increase it even by 0.1.
