Racing?
Su Yun looked down at the smoke and dust rising from the stadium, feeling helpless.
Both Jasmine and Isis have bodies that are far superior to humans. Although they are competing in a car race, if they were pulling the horses instead, the car might run even faster - but if you look at it this way, the car race is actually a fairly fair competition, because the speed of the horse will become a limiting condition for the plague...
Is it unfair to compare with humans? So internal competition?
In terms of pure control and riding skills, Isis is definitely better than Jasmine.
I saw two cars moving side by side, but one was slightly ahead, and I could see the driver's long light-colored hair shining in the sun from a distance.
The other chariot, which was slightly behind, was also very aggressive, but its rider had dark red hair.
"Neither of these two children are wearing helmets!" The queen stood beside Su Yun, frowning and muttering, "It's really unsafe!"
"What's the big deal? Young people should have this kind of spirit!" The emperor was very impressed. "This is what young people in Naples should be like."
The two chariots circled the field again before reaching the finish line to decide the winner.
Isis won.
Loud cheers broke out from the stands. The emperor and queen were the first to applaud, followed by the dignitaries, and Su Yun also applauded politely.
The loudest noise came from the racetrack.
There were not just two racing cars on the racetrack. Su Yun could also see many guards loyal to the royal family. Most of them were children of aristocrats, a small number were sons of wealthy businessmen, and there were almost no civilians.
These guards were also divided into two factions, one belonging to the Crown Prince and the other to the young general.
Isis's identity is set at only 26 years old, the youngest general in the history of Naples. Moreover, this identity is not just a dry favor from the emperor, but is accumulated from real merits in suppressing rebellions - this glorious empire in its sunset has enough rebellions for Isis to suppress.
Su Yun was thinking about setting the question when the noise in the distance suddenly doubled in volume. Su Yun looked up and saw Isis riding a horse towards him, and Jasmine also climbed on the horse behind him.
——Very good, I remember that I am a human being now and need to ride a horse.
Isis was already close to the stands. She saw him holding up the laurel wreath in his hand and said excitedly, "Your Highness! Please accept it!"
This knight of light always seems to have a lot of enthusiasm, and his deep green eyes are like
It is like a glow that infects everyone around it.
Alice's expression twisted for a moment, and her expression was only seen by the little white snake on Su Yun's wrist. The little snake spit out its bright red tongue and rubbed the wrist under it stealthily.
The audience in the stands also burst into discussion at this moment. Some whispered that this was against the rules, while others stared at the general in the stands with jealousy and disgust, but no one dared to say anything loudly, and the puppet couple just watched with a smile.
Su Yun also smiled helplessly. He leaned over and said, "It's a beautiful victory prize. I'll take it. Thank you."
There were ripples in Isis's emerald green eyes, as if the sun was setting into the depths of the blue sea.
Jasmine arrived soon after, and his expression was very well controlled, and anyone who saw it saw a perfect smile: "General, the laurel wreath is not something that can be given away casually."
Isis did not argue with him, but said solemnly as if swearing an oath: "Everything I have belongs to your Highness, just the laurel crown."
What's the use of giving it as a gift?

Isis believed in his god.
A knight dedicates himself to God, which is different from a slave who belongs to his master. A knight never asks for anything in return, but only seeks to be followed and admired.
The knight is willing to use his life to defend the reputation of God, and to offer the most sincere love to his God in this world created by the gods.
This selfless emotion is different from that of the priest. Isis retained her self and had her own ideal, which was to let all living things in this world return to death. She was loyal to her lord, but the king was under God, and her king was also madly chasing after his father God. She followed her own virtues, which were to worship gods and death.
Except for Theresa and Flora, Isis cannot understand the other brothers who are also plagued by the plague. In his eyes, Alice is a poor brother tortured by jealousy, Jasmine is a weak coward who has lost her spine, and Julia is hypocritical, greedy and unambitious.
As for Anita - this was the brother that Isis despised the most.
Shouldn't one be able to return to eternal peace after losing one's life? Why should one cling to the gods' palace to survive?
But none of this has anything to do with Isis. He shouldn't make fun of his brother who was born with defects. He has his own mission and responsibilities.
He guarded his God, and that was enough.

Su Yunshou received the crown from Isis, but he did not give it to the attendant casually. Instead, he kept it in his hand. At this time, Jasmine and Isis had already climbed up the stairs one after the other.
tower.
The puppet couple began to express their love and praise for the heir in various ways according to the setting, while Isis stood directly beside Su Yun and asked in a low voice: "Did you see my game?"
Su Yun nodded: "You are very skilled."
"There is no sport in the human world that I am not good at," Isis whispered, "But I have been asleep for so long, maybe my ability to appreciate art has declined a bit and I can't keep up with the current trends."
Ai-country girl-Li-knows-nothing-Si: ...
"The ability to appreciate art will never decline." Su Yun didn't see Alice behind him, and he couldn't help but correct her, "From ancient times to the present, the true core of human art has never changed."
Isis whispered: "You are right, it is indeed like that!"
The two of them lowered their voices when talking, which sounded more like intimate whispers. Jasmine stood aside and listened to the human's wave after wave of boring compliments, her heart repeatedly synchronized with Alice's.
Can anyone be better than me in art appreciation? What is there to talk about?
"Thank you all for coming." Jasmine decided to break the deadlock, "I hope you all will come to the dinner tonight."
He made the invitation as he quickly walked over to his god, "Let's go... why did you come back just now?"
Su Yun could only answer again: "I went to watch a fight today."
"You like this?" Jasmine said, "Then let's arrange a gladiatorial show for tonight."
Jasmine fulfilled the role of the crown prince to the fullest, and he achieved perfection in all aspects, including militarism and extravagance. Almost all the enjoyment facilities in the palace were now taken care of by Jasmine, and the palace therefore earned a nickname similar to "Sacred Mountain".
"No, I don't like it." Su Yun refused. "Ordinary singing and dancing will be fine."
Jasmine: “What about food?”
Su Yun thought about it seriously and said, "Is it all right?"
The Emperor and Queen had already left the stands hand in hand, and Jasmine also left side by side with his God. He had a seat next to the Father God, while the rest of the brothers could only stand behind them.
What is the use of Alice's persistence? This is the human world. Passively following God can only see the back of God the Father forever. Only by standing beside God the Father can you see his eyes.

The evening party began.
The banquet hosted by the royal family was so luxurious that it could surpass the fairyland in mythology.
The emperor and queen were of course in the first place, followed by the two princes, and then the Senate and the ruling officials.
Officials, each of whom is capable of shocking an entire territory, but they are just insignificant characters in this banquet.
The warm-up song and dance had already begun. Jasmine was very strict in reviewing the performances, and the vast majority of human dancers would not get permission from him. Therefore, more than half of the dancers were servants of the gods. These stunning dancers shuttled between the curtains, becoming the best embellishment of the banquet hall.
The adults sitting in the seats were still a little reserved, and no one touched the dancers at this time. However, after a few rounds of drinks, the situation would be different.
The dishes were served next. As solemn music sounded, slaves carried whole animals into the hall. They were common livestock such as pigs, cows, and sheep that had been carefully prepared, followed by game such as deer, ostriches, camels, and rabbits, and then rare birds such as chicks, peacocks, and thrushes.
Meats are classified as staples, each with a large number of coordinated side dishes, and there seems to be an endless supply of drinks and sweet accompaniments.
With Jasmine in charge and the divine servants involved in the production, the taste of all the food is naturally top-notch.
Of course, so much delicious food could not be eaten up, and in order to enjoy more delicious food, the guests at the table would basically induce vomiting after eating, and then continue to feast on it. This shows the extravagance and wastefulness of this empire.
The rich wine made people dizzy, and the drunk people showed their true colors one after another. Not to mention the tug-of-war with the dancers, those who started to act crazy were politely sent away by the servants.
Su Yun's body made it impossible for him to feel full or hungry, but he ate very moderately. The taste of the food was no longer important to him, but watching this ancient banquet did make him feel very interesting.
Why do humans like extravagant things? Perhaps, in addition to showing off their status and satisfying their desires, this is also a kind of inner guarantee for their ability to survive?
The atmosphere was getting lively when suddenly a man in armor strode into the banquet hall: "Your Majesty! Another rebellion broke out in the southwest!"
This shout was like a thunderclap, and it immediately woke up all the half-drunk people present. However, the rebellion did not panic the dignitaries. Many people shouted for the rude man to leave. They were blaming the messenger officer for ruining the wonderful dinner.
Although people were disappointed, Isis was in high spirits. She put down her wine glass and turned to Su Yun: "My God, would you like to go with me to the southwest? There is a new religion rising in the world, and Theresa is also there."
The author has something to say: The religion that emerged in ancient Rome swept the world

Come, guess what Isis’ true identity is.

Muah!
