Invade the white dove
Chapter 62 Home 16
The stone statue suddenly began to vibrate slightly, and a crack visible to the naked eye started from the base of the statue and quickly spread upward.Amidst the violent rumbling sound, the statue of Ao Shen was torn in half by some invisible force in an instant.
Julius looked up at the black fissure in the middle of the statue.
Ao Shen's benevolent smile was broken from the middle, splitting a black hole. In this deep space, in front of the empty temple, it was a bit creepy.
Julius immediately made a confession for the inappropriate thoughts he had raised.
But the moment he lowered his eyes, there was another small "click" sound from the base of the stone statue, like sharp claws scraping on metal.
The Ao Shen statue, which was barely maintaining its balance, finally collapsed amidst this slight tremor.
The sacred statue was torn apart, only the black base was still rattling tirelessly.
Julius put his hand on it in a strange way.
With a "click", the mechanism was turned on, and the surface of the statue's base suddenly lit up with a glaring white light. Amidst a burst of sobbing and awkward incantations like ancient sayings, a palm-sized black wooden box floated from the ground.
The carved patterns on it are simple and simple, and in the middle is the family crest of the Kleiss family - a white dove with wings spread.The four corners of the box have worn out the black and yellow wood background, and it seems that it has been handed down for many years.
Julis pointed his index finger at the sunken position of the white pigeon's eyes, and the lid of the box popped open quickly, and several pieces of squarely folded parchment fell out.
Black ink seeped through the back of the paper, and Julius recognized his father's handwriting.
He hurriedly picked up the paper.
It was still a letter from father to mother, but it was written after Julius was born.
These are several letters that have never been sent, and were treasured by the father in the secret room of the Baige family.
Julius fell to the ground, leaning against the edge of the stone altar, reading his father's thoughts word by word with the help of the ever-burning holy fire in front of the temple.
He knew that after his mother gave birth to him, he had a sudden hemorrhage, and Odong's top doctors were helpless.The mother held her last breath and wanted to say goodbye to her father, but she couldn't wait for her lover after all.
He also knew that his mother kissed his lips before she died, and King Fino, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand and dreaming of mother and child waiting for the return of the head of the family in a sweet dream, only saw his mother's cold corpse.
"I wanted to follow you, but our boy, he has a face as gentle as yours. But his hair, that terrible mark... I made a mistake, this is God's punishment, I have been with You swore to protect our baby even if you sacrifice everything. Merida, now is the time for me to fulfill my vow, even if it means killing everyone who knows."
This is a long letter, or list.The paper recorded in detail all the people in White Dove Castle on the day of the queen's birth—nobles, knights, servants, and even young children who came to beg for holy food to celebrate the birth of the heir.
King Fino wrote down their names one by one, and drew thick black lines on them.
The castle has undergone a major change. No one knows that the servants who were busy here before all slept at the bottom of the tall tower that was built three months later.
"According to the custom, the day after the birth of a prince, he needs to be worshiped by the people, but I took the baby as an excuse to protect him tightly. Although the truth will eventually be known to the world, but now, I can't control so much... ..."
In the tenth year of King Fino's succession, Queen Merida died in childbirth, and the little prince who lost his mother cried all night, dying, unable to accept the blessings of the people.
The letter doesn't end with "kiss you," but "forgive me."
Julius' index finger stroked the unfamiliar names on the letter.
110 The five bones thus had their names.
So what happened to the remaining skeletons?
He moved on to the second letter, written when Julius was eight years old.
"Merida, I almost lost him... I thought the poisonous servants could keep them secret forever, but I never thought that they would be willing to kill a child!"
Only then did Yulis know why he suddenly developed a strange disease when he was eight years old.
Anna, the cook of the High Tower—he still remembers how soft and sweet the milk cake Anna made for him—threw him into the water tank while he was playing in the kitchen.
The water tank is as high as an adult's waist, and if a child accidentally falls into it, there is no way to save himself.
But Julius survived.Although the persistent high fever almost killed him later, he survived.
"Fate, can fate really be inseparable? I obviously trapped that guy in a place in the tower where no one can ever reach, but that guy still managed to find Julius. I would rather take my life! … I'm afraid I'm going to commit the unforgivable sin, Lida, but it's necessary."
There is no doubt that "that guy" refers to Sotiria.But why is father so afraid of him?What kind of agreement is there between them?
But even in such a letter that was no different from a confession, his father was still evasive, and Julius had no way of knowing the origins of the Kles family and Sotiria.
But Yulis remembered that after the accident, the tower changed another group of servants.And every year after that, apart from Ivan who was with him day and night as a "stand-in for the prince", the other people who served him would be replaced with brand new faces.
Of course, the castle has changed its servants so frequently, but it has never seen anyone get out alive. If someone thinks about it carefully, they will definitely notice something is wrong.
Therefore, King Fino recorded in another letter his method of diverting people's attention-spreading panic.
"The Angel of Thoth pointed out a clear path for me."
This was the first time that Julius saw the name of the envoy of Thoth in the letter.
"The envoy told me the prophecy of the holy court. It turned out that the prince of the Garman Empire, who was born in the same year as Julius, was actually a son of hell. He will bring disasters to mankind, and the holy court must eradicate him before he fully wakes up. .I can secretly create a large-scale death on the border and lead it to that monster in the Garman Empire. The Holy Court will help me, and our people will also focus on the Garman Empire..."
When Julius was ten years old, a fierce conflict broke out on the border between Odon and Garman.Overnight, everyone in the border town of Odong disappeared mysteriously, and only the blood splattered in the houses showed what kind of evil deeds had been experienced here.
King Fino strongly condemned the Garmans' banditry, but Kyle, who had just ascended the throne, disregarded diplomatic etiquette and directly attacked the southeastern border of Austria.
As a result of the war, Odong ceded land and gave way.In the following years, border friction continued, and each time, it ended with Odong's surrender.
"I ordered people to spread the prophecy in the country that a red-haired messenger will come to Odong to save the suffering people, 'Hessiam', 'He who helps the world'. As long as there is a suitable time and a strong enough pusher, it is considered a red-haired, It can also be an object of admiration.
"That guy thought that by turning Julis into a redhead, I would be desperate enough to give our child away? This is impossible, that guy underestimated human wisdom too much, haha!
"...Merida, I don't believe in fate, our child...he should never be the victim of my reckless promise. The plan of the past ten years has been formed, and the next thing is to fulfill the promise of the Holy Court. Yuli Si, I believe in his ability, he will eventually become Odong's salvation, become a king respected by the people, instead of being brought back to a terrible, false, and precarious different world!
"...Merida, I love you, I love our Julis. Please forgive me for not writing to you again, Erdu is about to be captured, this is a necessary sacrifice, and my head will soon be Hanging high above the enemy's guns, but our children managed to escape from here. I believe that Julius' love for us will support him to continue.
"He will surely be the greatest ruler ever."
Julius put the letters back neatly into the box.
Sotiria is right, the truth suffocates people, even if he only sees part of the "truth" now, the heavy, mountain-like weight has made him unable to lift his head.
Innocent people died because of him, Odong's land was handed over by his father, and even Odong's destruction could not be done without his father's secret help. As "Hessiam", after defeating Kyle Mulder, he can sit on the Odon Throne dignifiedly.
"Father……"
Julius knelt in front of the cracked stone statue of the Goddess, laughing loudly.
**
Sotiria suddenly opened his eyes.
The thick white mist was originally drifting slowly around him, but at this moment it seemed to be startled by his movements, and it suddenly retreated.
Sotiria looked into the deeper darkness covered by thick fog in the distance.
"Three days." He muttered to himself, his voice was soaked by the mist, with a breathtaking majesty, even the indescribable monster hidden in the unknown immediately fell silent.
Sotiria looked at the huge, seemingly endless metal gate in front of him.
He has been waiting here for three days.
Although he didn't know what secrets were hidden in the secret room, and whether these short three days were enough for Julius to find the answer, he couldn't wait any longer.
After Julius returned to the territory of Odong, his mood was even lower than that in Stani City before, which he definitely never expected.
It had been seven or eight days since they returned to Odon, but during this time, Julius had been sleepless, and if Sotiria had not forced him to eat some bread, he would have dared to starve himself to death.
You must know that even a devil as powerful as Tatos needs to return to hell regularly to soak in hellfire to replenish energy.
No one could withstand such devastation.
And now, Julius has not come out of that secret room for three full days.Sotiria was sure that even if the secret room was filled with wine, cheese, egg tarts or pheasant meat, Julius would not touch it at all.
His little prince, his eyes are probably red at this moment, suffering from the irreparable truth of the past.
He could no longer allow Ulis to punish himself for a mistake he hadn't committed.
Sotiria's palm was covering his chest, and the position of the seal of the contract exuded a warm breath.Sotiria curled his lips, his little prince was secretly thinking about him.
Fortunately, he didn't tell Julis before, even if Julius closed his mind, as long as both sides miss each other at the same time, he can still feel the sweet, sour, soft feeling like being soft by a baby bird through the seal of the contract. The itching of the beak pecking at the fingertips.
However, just when Sotiria was about to convey his nostalgia back, there was a burst of scorching heat from the seal of the contract, and then, the faint blue light flickered twice, and quickly dimmed.
Julius' breath of life was rapidly draining.
Julius is in danger!
Sotiria put both hands on the door.
However, before he could make another move, the surface of the metal gate immediately lit up with a glaring white light, and a milky white current flashed in the mist, roaring and crackling towards him.
The lightning was so fierce that even the mist shivered and avoided it.
There was a burning smell in the air.
Sotiria's body was scorched black, but he remained motionless, holding the surface of the giant door firmly with both hands.He glanced up at the gathering thundercloud as if mockingly.
"You've been on the human land for a long time, don't you know who is your master?"
The thundercloud rolled silently, brewing with terrifying power, Sotiria spat out a mouthful of blood, and began to chant the spell.
The second wave of lightning sounded at the same time as the deep and awkward ancient language.
The third wave.
Fourth wave.
Sotiria's spell was interrupted several times, her silver-gray hair had long been scorched, her charcoal-black arms were ripped apart, and dark red blood dripped onto the ground, being absorbed by the metal gate.
But his palm never left the giant gate.
The speed of the incantation was getting faster and faster, and the lightning was dense like a cobweb, tearing through the thick fog.The sky and the earth were burnt to purple in an instant.
Just as the clouds accumulating above his head completely turned into thick black thunderclouds, and when the final blow was brewing, Sotiria suddenly raised his voice and looked up at the sky.
His palm suddenly glowed with blue fluorescent light.
The decoration on the door seemed to come to life in an instant, walking on the black lacquer surface.The originally decorated circular pattern on the metal door faded away, gradually forming two huge eyes, with blue flames burning in the pupils.
"Apetra!"
He snorted lowly.
The door trembled violently, and finally slowly opened a crack amidst an unwilling moan.Sotiria immediately dodged in.
The moment he stepped into the secret room, the Albion Temple collapsed with a roar, and countless blue flames jumped out of the darkness, illuminating the path under Sotiria's feet.
The flame tree appeared in the void again, and the white dove that was sleeping at the bottom of the tree turned into a motionless figure at this moment.
"Ulysses!"
Sotiria hugged Ulis, and the flame tree offered to hand over a branch to illuminate Ulis's face.
That pale, bloodless, lifeless face.
The curly red hair was smoothed by Sotiria, revealing a smooth forehead, and the thick eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyes, which perfectly blocked the eye sockets that had turned blue from staying up late.Her soft and kissable lips were slightly upturned, as if she was having a sweet dream.
Julius was in his arms, his body was soft, quiet and obedient, and he let him hold him without any resistance.
Everything is well-behaved and tranquil.
Except for the undulating chest.

Information now available:
King Fino played a big game of chess. The dead under the tower, the land voluntarily ceded by Odon, and the rumors of Hessiam were all to "protect" Julius.
Still wondering:
What the hell happened to "that guy" and King Fino?Was Julius's red hair really cursed by "that guy" as the letter said?
The task of seven thousand a day has been achieved.lie flat
