……

The downwind sailboat flies across the sea and breaks the waves. The horn of the bow pierces the blue waves, separates a waterway and bravely advances, leaving a shining silver trail.

"..."

Ivan walked to the captain's cabin on the top floor of the sailboat, took the lookout mirror from the crusader, and looked at the scene on the shore in the distance.

The rising sun dyed the surface of the sea red, and pieces of white sail shadows floated from the thick morning mist. The shimmering light on the water surface suddenly seemed to slide over the white clouds.The flags hanging on the top of the harbor fortress were also dyed red by the rays of the sun, like huge red silk fluttering, rows of hazy hulls on the berths were faintly discernible, the pointed masts were pointing directly at the sky, and hanging from the top of the poles was easy to identify colorful lanterns.

Among them, the flag flying on the tallest building in the harbour, impressively bears the iconic character of the Heibolun Development Consortium—this sea area has obviously been taken over by the forces of the invaders.

Although he was mentally prepared, Ivan still felt very uncomfortable after seeing this scene, feeling like he was on fire.

After all, he has lived in this world for 13 years, and has long regarded Menis as his second hometown. Now his hometown has been colonized by arrogant people, and the feeling can be imagined.

"Disputes between countries sometimes need no reason at all. Weakness is a crime."

Ivan put down the lookout glass and handed it to the crusaders beside him. He looked so gloomy that he could gather dark clouds and raindrops, and forced himself to cheer up and said:

"What Mines lost to was the interstellar warship, the star destroyer, and the mechanics, not the Hyperion development consortium, let alone their system. As long as we catch up and learn all the technologies mastered by the invaders, we can make Get them out of Hyperion."

Although his words were clichés, due to their different positions, they still resonated with most of the crusaders.Everyone who was originally gloomy looked like they had taken a cold shower and recovered a lot of energy.

At this time, the mentality of all the subjects of the Menesian Empire was very close to that of Daqingguo after the Opium War. Although they were hurt by the beating, their mentality was still very healthy, and they were basically in a state of oral dissatisfaction.

However, this kind of spiritual self-confidence will definitely not last long. With the establishment of a stable rule by the Hyperion Consortium, after the Menesians see the terrifying material wealth of the interstellar civilization through various channels, the self-confidence of civilization will inevitably be shattered into glass scum.

"..."

Looking at the people who had recovered their spirits, Yiwen felt chills in his heart, feeling like a catastrophe was imminent.

He can now conclude that Menis's mental state after the collapse of civilization's self-confidence must be countless times worse than the mental state of Da Qingguo after the Sino-Japanese War.

At that time, any kind of moth can emerge in the country, and the Federation will become the ideal paradise for many locals.If there is nowhere to say, someone climbed up and shouted - eliminate local tyranny, the world belongs to the federation or something!

Even if it's not so extreme... But as long as the federation gives some guidance and all citizens pour their inferiority complex and anger on the backwardness of the system and civilization, the rule of the dynasty will naturally disintegrate.

Then... the Sun King himself is finished.

Thinking of this, Yiwen suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and the head on his neck felt unstable for a while, and he always felt that his head would fall to the ground at any time.

Only then did he truly realize that the relationship between himself and the Menesian Empire had long been inseparable—the day when the dynastic rule of the Menesian Empire was destroyed was the time when the death knell of the Sun King tolled.

"At this point, if I don't think about resisting anymore, I'm just deceiving myself!" Ivan stared at that side from a distance, with a gloomy violence seeping out of his eyes.

Chapter 30 Siblings Meet

The second lair of Ozymandis is not located in an inconspicuous desert oasis like the Temple of Nut, but in the Fayon Oasis near the royal capital.This is a densely populated land, and it is also a nearby transportation hub, so the appearance of strange faces is not easy to attract others' attention.The high priest probably set up this secret den because he took a fancy to the huge flow of people here and felt that it would be convenient for spying on information.

In order to avoid premature exposure, Ivan left the large force at sea, and came to Fayon Oasis alone with the scriptures of Hades and the head of Ozymandis.

When he approached the oasis town, an indifferent scene appeared in front of his eyes. Soldiers, roadblocks, and cold swords were like a military fortress approaching a war.The sky was gray, and occasionally one or two signal lights flickered; searchlights that flickered on and off hung in the corner of the sky, emitting a blazing white light.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Yiwen sighed silently, knowing that he was late.

Now that Ozymandis's second lair has also been taken away, there is no way to contact the rest of the chief priests for the time being, so he can only take one step at a time.

He stopped, squatted on the ground, and before the sentry guards of the army arrived here, he took out the prepared ribbon from his arms, and wrapped the Holy Book of Hades and the box containing the head of Ozymandis in the same way as wrapping the gift box. up.

"Put down the things in your hands and hug your name!"

The crowned knight snarled while raising his halberd, aiming his sharp blade at Ivan, and forming a pocket array with an open gap, he surrounded him like a gust of wind.

"Don't get excited!"

He left the 'gift box' with both hands, stood up and took off his hood, and at the same time reported his name as requested by the other party:

"I am Ivan Amenemat Amenemhat, the king of this country, and I want to see my cousin."

"He's real!"

Among these guards, someone who had obviously participated in the coronation ceremony immediately confirmed his identity.

……

In the 'protection' of two teams of corona knights, Yiwen turned onto a branch road in the center of the town and walked 300 meters along a row of muddy gray houses.With a warm south wind mixed with the smell of ripe fruit, a green lawn slowly unfolded in the field of vision.

It was a flat land covered with delicate grass blades and vines, surrounded by sharp iron fences and jagged rockery.A mysterious manor is built on it.

The layout of the manor is not too big, with a radius of only a few hundred meters. Several rows of thick display boards are neatly placed on the grass, marking the holy scriptures of the Saintess’ Court—the so-called Saintess’ Court is actually a brothel, although Painted with a holy religious overtone...but that just makes it more irritating to some people.

After Yiwen saw these signs, two eyeballs almost jumped out of their sockets. His cousin, the queen of Menis, the strongest incarnation of the sun god, actually settled down in the brothel.

Does she really know where this is! ?

"Cousin lives here!?" He asked a little angrily.

"Reporting to Your Majesty...the queen doesn't care about this kind of thing, she just likes the environment here...we have all persuaded..." The corona knight who answered also had a rather embarrassed expression.

"..."

Evan was speechless.

Perhaps because of sufficient financial resources, the architectural style of the Temple of the Holy Maiden is several grades higher than that of the surrounding area. The overall appearance looks like a hollow ring, with the main building of the Temple of the Holy Maiden in the middle, and the surrounding parking lot, stove, and laundry room , Stable Rob is around the estate.

As Ivan moved forward, he looked at the surrounding scenery—the faint skylight shined on the wooden house through the mottled clouds, and a few birds flew by in mid-air. curtain.

If it is not a kiln, this is a good place for vacation and leisure.

"Your Majesty, the queen is meditating, and we cannot enter." The corona knights stopped in front of the door and returned his two gift boxes.

"..."

Yiwen picked up the hastily prepared gift box, kept calm, and opened the door of the Temple of the Holy Maiden.

The moment the sliding door was opened, a faint scent of incense came to the face, and the dust in the air danced in the light.

It seems that it has been sorted out, and there are not many furnishings in the space, which makes it very spacious.Half of the wooden sofa on the right has no armrests, so you can lie down or sit on it. The walls are pure white and partially decorated with carved patterns.The log-colored floor is shiny, the pillars are painted clean white, and painted with golden papyrus, and books and penholders are scattered on the floor.

"It's finally back."

Words like silver bells came from the window, and Ivan turned his head slightly in surprise, and found that the window was connected to a greenhouse on the side, separated by a curtain in the middle, and he was almost ignored by himself.

"Can you come back to prove that Ozymandis is dead?"

Elleme opened the curtain and stood by the window, the clear skylight poured in through the window, drawing a pleasing silhouette for her.
