The 2133rd chapter sacrificial ceremony welcomes everyone

The center of the New Proof Mountain City is an empty square.

This is a central area reserved for the future cultural construction of the city, and it will be surrounded by squares, such as cultural streets, parks, libraries and museums. But now, the owner of the city does not have the time to take into account these aspects, so the entire square can only be so bald, lonely and completely ignored.

Of course, it is not really that no one cares about it. At least a few days ago, there was a huge protest here. But I don’t say much about the result, using my flesh and blood to fight against the dictator who controls powerful violence is itself a self-destructive act.

The blood stains on the floor of the square that have not been washed and those corpses hung on wooden racks, which are withered like mummies under the scorching sun. Alexander killed them so frightened, and at the same time used this method to make them remember this lesson. As for the cruelty and cruelty shown by this method, Alexander didn't care at all.

He is the king of horses, holding the army that is most loyal to him. With this alone, he can be fearless. As for what the people want, he believes that the people's hearts can be controlled and played with. Just like when he became a pharaoh in Egypt, he was also a conqueror. Persia was an enemy of Egypt, but he was the great savior of the entire Egypt and was pushed to the throne of the pharaoh by the Egyptians. This is a gap in itself.

He believed that even after two thousand years, people's hearts would not change much. So as long as he can continue to be kind and powerful, it would not pose any threat to him.

As for those guys who attempt to play with him by kidnapping these people to fight for power, he can only say that he has left a good place for them on this square. The sun in West Asia is always right. I believe that under the sunlight, they will know what kind of mistakes they have made. It is not that they should not have such ambitions, but that they have chosen the wrong means and chosen the wrong opponent.

This destined that they would become losers. Alexander never kept his defeated opponents.

His attention was placed on the present moment and at the grand ceremony held on this square.

The gold that had been broken into many utensils and sculptures was melted into a pure gold statue of seven or eight meters high, and was erected in the center of the square. Around this luxurious statue, six huge pillars supported the sky.

Above each pillar is an exquisite sculpture. Among them are the sculptures of the king of Alexander himself, and the sculptures of Lao Yu, a scholar whom he regarded as the auxiliary slaughter. In addition, soldiers, war horses, dancers, and farmers are all different, representing almost all classes under Alexander. These are all built around the statue of God, which is enough to reflect their respect for this so-called God.

Of course, this is just a manifestation. If you really want to talk about whether people respect gods in their hearts, they also depend on their actual performance. And this point, the onlookers on the scene are a good example.

Almost all the dead who returned from the Kingdom of Death, so they understand more clearly what kind of favor they have enjoyed. Being able to live again is luck in itself. If they can further obtain the favor from the gods and truly regain their lives, they will definitely not be stingy in their faith.

So, almost all of them knelt on the ground, occupying almost every part of the open space on the square. Only a few places were left to the singing and dancing girls and the priests who supported the gold incense burner.

Here, dancers are not the identity of playthings. Their role is not to entertain the people, but to dedicate to the gods with their beautiful body language. They are the most beautiful dancers of all ages, and only gods and kings are qualified to worship the most exquisite dance skills.

Although people's hearts long for you, they must never blaspheme. By the same token, as servants of the gods on earth, the priests are naturally even more objects that they cannot blaspheme.

Most of these priests had their heads barefoot, and to be more precise, there was no hair on their bodies. They were covered with olive oil, wearing gorgeous priest robes in a shiny posture, and walking around the square with a gold incense burner in their hands. The curling smoke came out of the incense burner and lingered on the square for a long time.

Unlike the incense used in ordinary temples, their incense comes from the ancient Egyptian dynasty thousands of years ago. It is a magic incense with mysterious power. Mortals are prone to hallucinations when they are in it. If they believe in words in their hearts, then all kinds of illusions of gods coming to the world may appear in front of them.

This is a kind of guarantee. After all, even gods cannot say that they are paying attention to their believers at all times. They will inevitably have time to take a nap. If such a solemn ceremony is held while the gods are napping but cannot get the response they deserve, it will inevitably be embarrassing.

As servants of gods, priests should avoid such embarrassment as much as possible. Using this incense with psychedelic magic is obviously the best way to alleviate this embarrassment.

After all, among so many people, there will always be one or two sincere people who can see illusions. If you still question the authenticity of the gods and the necessity of rituals at this time, then pulling these sincere people into you will just show that your heart is not sincere? If your heart is not sincere, then it is not normal for you to apply for it and not be willing to summon you?

Of course, this ceremony cannot be done with such a means. Incense is just to set off the atmosphere. Since Alexander dared to hold such a grand ceremony at this time, he is naturally sure. With this determination, this proud and fulfilling king has appeared on the square.

The warriors holding golden sickle-shaped swords and wolves heads and eagle-headed masks entered the field first, and separated a passage in the crowd that could allow six horses to run in parallel. After them, the dancers took graceful steps, sprinkling flowers all the way. The priests walked solemnly, and the smoke turned their feet into clouds under their control.

The servants held up the gorgeous feather screen fan and unveiled it layer by layer. After that, the huge male elephant was dotted with gold and gems, holding the gorgeous gold chariot, and walking step by step from the distance with heavy steps.

Alexander sat on the chariot, waving his arms towards the crowd who worshiped and cheered at him with great enthusiasm. Personally, he has always loved this lively scene. The cheers and worships around him are undoubtedly proof of his great cause of conquest. As for some blood embellishment, it is not worth mentioning in front of this.

He can draw nourishment from this to continue his efforts, and in other words, he can get the satisfaction and pleasure that makes him happy from this.

In the past, this was something he enjoyed alone. Now, he didn't care about sharing it with someone. So after laughing and responding to the surroundings, he patted the people around him on the shoulders and shouted loudly at him.

"Look at it, Lao Yu. The great cause you and me have created together. Faced with such cheers, you cannot be as indifferent as you usually do. Come, wave your hand and let our subjects see you. This is the best way to establish your majestic image!"

The male elephant was strong and the chariot was not small, so he could naturally sit down. Under Alexander's deliberate arrangement, Lao Yu had a place beside him.

For this willful king, this is naturally nothing big. Since he said he wanted to share it with someone, he would not have the idea of ​​breaking his promise. However, as the right-hand man he relied on, the most trustworthy slaughter leader, Lao Yu could not be proud of it because of this.

He is a traditional person, and he is even more cautious. It is fate that the king and his subjects get along with each other, and it is a good thing that is just like a horse that meets Bo Le, right. And it is precisely because this is a good thing that he cannot make this a bad thing.

Just like the eternal legends of Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. The reason why they became eternal legends was not because of their sincerity in visiting the cottage three times and their wisdom in the world. It was because of their own trust in Baidi City, Liu Bei said that he could win himself, and Zhuge Liang devoted his efforts and worked hard to repay the kindness of knowing his grace.

Only when a minister can do this is extremely exciting and worthy of life. This is what Lao Yu believes, so in the face of Alexander's instigation, he just shrank his neck and hid himself in Alexander's tall figure as much as possible. Then he smiled awkwardly at him.

"Your Majesty, just try to have fun. I am old and can't accept this kind of lively scene."

"That's a pity. I had arranged a few pure girls to come and kiss you. Since you don't like it, then forget it..."

Rubbing his chin, Alexander seemed to have made some decision in Old Yu's somewhat grateful expression. Then, he also set his own posture and began to sit upright in the carriage.

Judging from Lao Yu's understanding of Alexander, this is undoubtedly a difficult thing. Because Alexander is just an unsatisfied person. Compared to sitting on the throne and watching his subordinates perform, he prefers to take part in the show in person and participate in all aspects. This is the most typical natural type of energy, and it is undoubtedly difficult to expect such a person to be quiet honestly.

But now, he became quiet. This made Lao Yu realize that he suppressed his nature for himself. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it moved Lao Yu. He immediately spoke out.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to suppress yourself. It is an honor for me to be able to sit by your side..."

"This is not possible." Alexander said stubbornly and confidently. "I promised that I will share the glory with you. And now I let you sit here not to embarrass you. Since you are not used to this kind of excitement, then we will be serious. Anyway, for our subjects, I am passionate or majestic, right?"

He squeezed his eyes, and there was a bit of joking in his words. This kind of joking made Lao Yu feel a little more emotional. He was cliché and chattering. But Alexander didn't give him this opportunity.

Although he often discusses and asks for advice with Lao Yu, this does not mean that he can stand Lao Yu’s nagging in his idle time. In his opinion, Lao Yu is really good at everything, has wisdom and is proficient. It is this nagging problem that makes people feel a little unacceptable.

Now is the time to be happy, and he doesn't want Lao Yu to disturb his mood. So at the moment, he said to Lao Yu.

"You are ready, are you sure you're sure it's foolproof?"

I was a little stunned. After all, it was not easy to swallow the words that were poured to my mouth. However, as a qualified prime minister, Lao Yu finally gave a quick answer.

"Your Majesty, nothing can be foolproof. But our hands and feet are fast enough. Even if there is a problem, she wants to find out that it should be after the dust has settled. That makes no sense..."

“So, everything goes as planned?”

"Yes, your Majesty. I've watched your performance!"

The first plan was proposed, and Alexander naturally took on the most important task without hesitation. The sacrificial ceremony is also because of this. Therefore, before the chariot came to the statue step by step, he jumped down from the elephant more than three meters high without saying a word. Then, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of subjects, he opened his mouth to the statue of the gold.

"According to the agreement, I am here, the great goddess. These three cities are now under my command. I have completed the agreement with you with my subjects. Therefore, please give us your gifts as we have agreed in advance. Please come, my goddess!"

He was very direct, and he forced Alexia to respond.

This is the disadvantage of the gods. When they become gods and show miracles, they will be closely related to the people who believe in them.

A powerful god may be able to separate such connections by virtue of his own, but Alexia's usurpation of his ability cannot do this. If it were only the scale of the ritual that Alexander had conducted in private, she would have to bear it. But the current large ritual of hundreds of thousands is enough to force her to the point where she had to deal with it.

She couldn't stand the feeling of even blocking her ears, closing her eyes and feeling countless voices whispering in her ears. So she simply appeared in front of Alexander with anger.

There was no special vision. Only the golden ship carried her suddenly on the square. She also suppressed her temper and questioned Alexander coldly.
