Chapter 657: A History
Chapter 657 A piece of history
After opening the real door of the Hall of the Epiphany, a group of people continued to move deeper.
In addition to the high-tech "triangle irons", this ancient temple is also equipped with many mechanisms to prevent disturbance by outsiders.
The Traveler Team dismantled the objects as they walked, and soon picked up a large number of cores of energy constructs.
Jade kept praising Su's skills all the way, and the constant praise made it impossible for Su to suppress his smile!
Paimon was very worried, "What should I do...Su is almost drunk by her love potion!"
Kong didn't think there was any need to be nervous, because he could see that Su really had no romantic thoughts about Jade at all.
Although Jade is lively and a little carefree, she is actually very good at controlling distance. Although she is very close to Su, she does not deliberately do anything that is overly intimate.
Jade was very friendly to everyone in the Traveler Group. Although she mainly talked to Su, she did not forget about Sora and Paimon.
Soon Paimon changed his mind, "Jade has a good personality, she is warm and sweet."
"Maybe she rarely sees beautiful girls like Su, so she mistook her desire to make friends for love at first sight."
null:……
When you don’t know what expression to make, just smile.
Sora felt that when Paimon was alert, she was really alert, but her vigilance could be easily broken.
You can count on it, but not too much.
Not long after, Tirzad panted and asked everyone to take a break. Jade looked at everyone in excellent condition and Tirzad who was sweating profusely, and said speechlessly: "Tirzad's physical strength is like a child. No, even worse than when I was a child. He is so weak."
Tirzad wanted to yell, "You are such monsters!" But when he looked at the Traveler Squad, he held his words back.
Tirzad: "I... I am an indoor scholar. The biggest exercise I do on weekdays is walking to the office."
Tirzad really couldn't walk anymore, and no one present wanted to carry him, so a group of people sat down to rest.
Jade approached the group of travelers and chatted with them, telling them about her life since childhood and the interesting things in her mercenary work.
Paimon frowned, "I didn't expect you to be having a hard time too..."
Jade has the tenacity and carefreeness of a desert dweller. "It's not hard. I have my dad here. I'm happy every day!"
"Come to think of it, Dad also lived in the desert before, but he took me away from the desert when I can't remember much."
Jade grew up in the rainforest. After becoming a mercenary, she took on some jobs in the rainforest or on the edge of the desert. This was her first time to go deep into the desert like this.
Jade turned her head and looked at Gabriel who was leaning on the side. "Dad, tell us about your life in the desert. Just think of it as passing on your experience."
Gabriel remained silent as always, "…It's all in the past, there's nothing to say."
"Tsk, you're like this every time I ask you." Jade, who was rarely rejected by her father, was a little unhappy, but she didn't ask any further questions. She turned around and started chatting with the traveler team about other topics.
Jade: "Paimon is really good at flying. He can avoid danger without doing anything. So amazing! Can you teach me?"
Paimon was happy but dumbfounded at the same time, "How do you teach something like this?"
After resting for a while, everyone got up again to continue exploring and picked up a gold-inlaid stone slab in the sand.
Paimon: "It doesn't look like an ordinary thing. There are blue runes on it."
Su and Kong could not figure out the meaning of this rune. "I can't tell the specific meaning of each rune, so I can't interpret it for now."
Tirzad recognized it. "This is a stone slab on a pillar of the Red King's Temple. It's called the Holy Seal Stone. There are also a few pieces in the Wisdom Palace Museum."
After the death of the Red King, the desert city-states fought in chaos, and royal power kept changing. Some people engraved history on the stone slabs of these temple pillars.
The enemy kings dared not and were unable to destroy the things in the Temple of the Red King. The most they could do was to find stone slabs engraved with history that was unfavorable to them and bury them deep in the sand.
There are quite a lot of such stone slabs, but not every one of them has history engraved on it. Fortunately, this one does have some.
After Tirzad cleaned the grit and dust from the grooves, he applied special oil and ink, and then covered it with thin, transparent paper. After peeling it off, the history of the stone slab appeared on the back of the paper.
[…After the majestic figure of the Red King retired, the golden age of the Human King Parvizrawan…]
Tirzad explained: "This history is accurate, and the Palace of Wisdom also has records. After the disappearance of the Red King, all the city-states in the desert fought each other. Finally, a young man named Parviz unified all the city-states and became the only and legitimate king. Lavan is a respectful title."
"I seem to have seen this name..." Su thought for a moment and took out a book titled "The Story of Xirui and Xilin".
The content of this book is stories about the past told by the town spirit to the shepherd boy. Scholars believe that after removing those overly exaggerated fantasy descriptions, the "stories" it tells are real history that once happened in the desert.
An orphan raised by a giant bird was named Kisra, which means one who is given a good name.
This extraordinary orphan soon gained fame in the war and became a sage and hero among mortals. He was finally adopted as the son of the feudal lord Olmaz and given the name Parviz.
It is the human king Parviz who opened the Golden Age of the Desert as recorded on this holy stone.
Paimon was puzzled, "But isn't this book called 'The Story of Shirui and Shirin'? Where are Shirui and Shirin?"
Su briefly explained the follow-up. "Parviz made great contributions in conquering cities for his adoptive father, Prince Olmaz, and finally married his adoptive father's daughter, Princess Shirin. Shirui is his and Princess Shirin's son."
Paimon's eyes were full of dreams, "What a beautiful story about a hero and a princess!"
Paimon wanted to read the storybook, but Sue put it away.
Because the rest of the story isn't pretty at all.
Ormaz and his three hundred descendants died suddenly in Gur overnight, leaving only Princess Shirin and her husband Parviz alive in the royal family. Parviz naturally took over his father-in-law's position and became the new vassal king.
The father-in-law and his three hundred descendants died suddenly overnight, and the son-in-law ascended the throne as king.
It's just short of slamming "there is conspiracy and rebellion here" in the reader's face.
There is a series of messy and dark plots unfolding at the end of the book.
Their Paimon is simple and timid and cannot bear to read this kind of story.
Paimon, who didn't know the truth, chased Su to ask for the storybook. Seeing that Su was troubled, Jade stepped forward.
Jade: "Can Sue lend me this storybook first? I am rarely interested in books. Paimon, you are so kind, please let me take a look first."
Paimon thought of how Jade couldn't go to school in the rain forest because she was born in the desert, and he softened his heart, "Okay, then I'll lend the book to Jade first."
Sue breathed a sigh of relief and handed the storybook to Jade.
Su's eyes hinted: Thank you, you don't have to return the book, just remember to dispose of it after reading it.
Jade nodded and looked back: I will keep it well! I won't let Paimon find it.
