In the room, the flickering candlelight flickered and flickered, and the residual candles flickered and flickered, and the long night could not be warmed. Vicos lay on the bed and held the key high in the air in front of him with his arms, allowing the light of the candle to shine on the key, reflecting a mesmerizing light.

"The King's Vault. Vicos read softly, not knowing whether to hear it to himself or to Beniss, who was hiding in the key.

Feeling the tremendous energy coming out of his body, Vicos raised the corners of his mouth, which could be regarded as joy at the sudden increase in his ability.

"It's a pity that all the corpses on the deck were thrown into the sea. He blew out the candle and slowly placed the bedding on his body. Just now he stepped onto the deck to see if there were any corpses left, so that he could exchange the souls that wandered around the corpses for divine coins, but to his disappointment, the sailors were very fast, and they had already disposed of the corpses, of course, they were just throwing the corpses into the sea.

In the long night, the brig is still sailing slowly, and the ship that looks a little blurry in the moonlight looks very much like the mythical devil's ship full of undead.

"Chirp!chirp!!" On the clear blue sky, several seagulls glided by, and the freedom brought by flapping their wings made the seagulls can't help but chirp.

On the vast sea, the blue waves came from the edge of the sky and the end of the sea with rolling waves, and then slapped on the sea, splashing tens of thousands of crystal blue gems.

There is no doubt that it was another sunny day, with the sails blaring high in the wind and the sea, and the romantic scenery of aquatic animals jumping out of the water and rushing into the sea from time to time. The round sun in the sky is also unscrupulously swaying the heat, announcing his existence.

"It's here. The Great Lighthouse of Colesmang. Shabak stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. Said to the people around him.

As a knight who has been to the Holy Land many times, Shabak is very familiar with the Lighthouse of Colesman. This great miracle, built more than 1,000 years ago, still stands proudly on a cliff outside the city of Clesman.

The Lighthouse is 120 meters high, and with the base of the tower, the entire height is about 135 meters. The tower consists of three floors: the first is a square structure with a height of 60 meters and contains more than 300 rooms of various sizes that serve as fuel depots, engine rooms and dormitories for staff, the second is an octagonal structure with a height of 15 meters, and the third is a circular structure surrounded by eight stone pillars 8 meters high on the domed light tower. Above the light tower. There is a giant bronze statue of the cross that stands 8 meters high. The entire lighthouse is built with materials such as granite and copper, and the fuel for the lights is olive oil and wood. The entire lighthouse has an area of about 930 square meters. The clever designers also used the principle of reflection, using mirrors to reflect the light farther out into the sea. This incomparable lighthouse, lit up night and night, diligently navigates incoming vessels, and it brings a sense of security to the helmsman.

The exterior of the Lighthouse is very beautiful and elegant, and the internal structure is very intricate.

There are more than 50 rooms on several floors of the base of the tower, which are used for the accommodation of the staff on duty, office work or operation of various businesses. The three-story tower body is not suitable for overcoming the monotony. In order to obtain the artistic visual shape of the overall building, there are many layers of windows equivalent to buildings. The lower level of the tower is wide inside, and from here a sloping spiraling passage to the top of the tower was built. There are also 32 and 18 steps on the inclined ladder leading to the middle and upper levels, respectively. There is a manual lifting device in the middle, which is a small machine composed of cables, pulleys, and frames to transport items vertically. It is used to transport torch fuel and various items to ensure that the torch is not extinguished day and night all year round.

The role of the torch is to have a concave metal mirror in addition to its own flame glow. The dazzling light of the torch reflects the lighthouse, allowing ships from 60 kilometers away to see the lighthouse in the distance. So as not to get lost. You can go straight to the port of Colesmang. There is also a religious overtone to this, and this design also warns the world that only by following the light of the cross (Holy Religious Church) can one lead to heaven.

The history of the Colesmang Lighthouse dates back a thousand years. The story of a hundred years after the Holy Church had just become the state religion of the Tolian Empire.

The Tolian Empire, an unprecedented behemoth, ruled over 10 million square kilometers of land and ruled over more than 100 million people in its heyday, and no country could be arrogant in front of him, because the Tolian Empire was powerful enough to kill it in an instant.

Under the governance of the Tolian Empire, the science and technology and production of the entire continent have been greatly developed, and the living standards of the people are unprecedentedly comfortable. In addition to a well-developed drainage system, there are also baths where people can relax after a long day's work, and a city square where city residents can relax physically and mentally.

This may be an empire that should last forever, everyone at the time thought so, but it was clear that such an idea was impossible.

The slave owners were poor and extravagant, and lived a life of extravagance. Their residence is often an ornate building. Among them, there is a cloister for exercising before bathing, and there are heating rooms with different temperatures that are connected to each other. Every time you enter a heating room, the temperature rises again. The person who bathes in the heating room waits until the whole body is sweating thoroughly before rinsing with warm water, then taking a cold shower, and finally, applying ointment all over the body to prevent cold. In order to show off the luxury of the empire, the emperor often held grand events on various festivals and anniversaries. A big bureaucrat held a parade celebration for his son, and spent 2,000 pounds of gold in 7 days. The extravagance and corruption in the court were even more fearless, and there were hundreds of royal beauticians alone.

Coupled with the invasion of foreign races, the emptiness of the treasury, the degeneration of the aristocracy, the relaxation of the army, and the demise of slave owners, this great empire that was like an invincible empire on the continent finally collapsed with a bang. On his otherwise majestic body, large and small states were established one after another, but of these, only the Empire of Tolea was the legitimacy of the Tolian Empire, although this country has long since lost its former glory.

It was also during that period that the Clesman Lighthouse was in a frenzy of his own beliefs, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. This towering miracle was built to guide the lost Lamb to the Holy City.

(Seems a bit far away...... Vikos recalls his impressions of the Tolian Empire in his head. Looking at the Clesman Lighthouse, which was getting closer and closer, he smiled self-deprecatingly. These great empires are like a mirror to him, but he always believes that he will eventually become the emperor of emperors and the king of kings. "If the world is very beautiful, nine points are in Clesman. "On the harbor, a pilgrim who had made a long journey, fell to his knees reverently, reciting a phrase from the Sudler.

Pale beige limestone blocks, mountains and green trees. The green is verdant and the white is dazzling.

At night, the tranquil ancient towers, towering city walls, sacred cathedrals, and the Grand Duke's palace are decorated with various lights, like a dreamy fairyland.

Dusk is at its most beautiful in Collesman, when the warm sunlight casts on the stone walls of the city's buildings.

The city is filled with golden light, bright and beautiful, and the holy city of the Holy City erupts in the most primitive way at this moment.

In "Golden City Collesman", it is sung, "The breath of the mountains and forests is as refreshing as wine, the city of gold." The city of bronze, the city of Colesman, full of light, I sing for you forever with my voice......"

How old is the history of Colesman?

If we look at the Holy Texts alone, the city has been inhabited more than 2,000 years ago. The great "beloved" King David. The ruler of the kingdom of Josser, who was loved by God but was eventually punished by God for the loss of his son.

"God is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. My God, my Rock. He is my shield and my horn of salvation. It is my high tower, and one thing I have asked God for, and I will seek, that I should dwell in the house of God all the days of my life, and behold his beauty, and ask in his house, and that thou hast come to strike me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin, but I have fought against thee in the name of the Lord Commander of hosts, who is the God of the army of Jose, whom thou hast despised." David's faith in God is evident from these words. But the Holy City has more to do with him than that.

Another of David's sons, Solomon, was a wise and beloved king, and his wisdom could be seen in one thing.

Solomon governed the nation with the wisdom given to him by God and properly handled civil disputes. Deeply loved by the people. One day, two women came to Solomon and begged him to judge the case. They all said that the baby was their own. Solomon had one of the guards bring the children, saying that they would be split in half and divided between each of them. As a result, the child's biological mother knelt on the ground and stopped the sword in the guard's hand. She cried out that she would rather give up the child than hurt a single hair of his hair. The other woman, however, was indifferent to the child's life and death. Solomon understood at a glance: "The woman who does not want to kill the child is the mother of the child." ”

And so many of these went on, so Solomon became a wise ruler in the hearts of the people. During this period, Solomon purged political enemies internally, consolidated political power, strengthened the walls of Kolesman, and rectified political discipline, and vigorously carried out diplomatic good-neighborly activities abroad, so that the kingdom of Yozer entered a period of prosperity.

During the reign of King Solomon, the kingdom of Jozer was powerful and the people were well-off. In gratitude for God's gift, Solomon prepared to build a palatial temple to honor him. It took Solomon seven years to build a temple dedicated to God. The temple was built on a small hill in the northeastern part of the city of Coles. The temple door faces east, and in front of the door are two bronze pillars ten meters high and two meters in diameter. The temple is rectangular in shape, 36.5 meters long, 11 meters wide and 17 meters high, and is divided into three parts: the courtyard, the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies in the world.

Because the walls of the temple were made of huge stones, ten pieces of cedar wood were covered, and then gilded with gold, the temple appeared to be extremely golden.

It's just that hundreds of years after Solomon's death, this great temple was destroyed by the outside, and now, after several reconstructions and destruction, this temple is left with only a wall, watching the life and death of the world.

"This is the great city, God's blessing!" said old Jock, who had disembarked from the boat, put down his wine bag and knelt on the ground, praising the splendor of the holy city of Colesman.

The act of kneeling on the ground like old Jock did not attract strange glances from the people around him, because this kind of thing happened all the time in the harbor, because this is the holy city! It is the holy city where the Holy Son preaches and suffers!

The travelers and sailors who disembarked in the harbor saw old Jock's actions, and they all put down their men. He gently bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

"Hallelujah. A deep voice shouted from the mouth of a stubble-faced sailor.

"Hallelujah!" a pilgrim in a shabby trench coat stepped off the boat. Kiss the dirt of the holy city with his lips.

"Hallelujah!!" came down another ship that had just docked a somewhat staggering old man, who put his cane on the ground. He threw his hands on the ground and praised God.

"Hallelujah ......" An ignorant young boy who was brought on a pilgrimage by his parents, although he did not understand the meaning of the pilgrimage, still spoke of Hallelujah in a childish voice like those who knelt.

Watching the things that the travelers who had just disembarked were doing, the whole port suddenly fell silent, whether it was the porter carrying the goods, the vendor selling things, the official who recorded the entry and exit of the ship, and the guards patrolling the port, everyone stopped their movements and watched the movements of the disembarkers.

In the first, the walk-in porter knelt on the ground, "Poof!" and a vendor pressed his head to the ground.

It's like it's contagious. One by one, each person struck the earth of the holy city with his knees and drew a large cross in front of him with his outstretched palms from his forehead to his chest and from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, expressing supplication, praise and thanksgiving to God.

The "Hallelujah !!!!!!" resounded in the harbor with a sound that shook the sky like a huge wave.

Atonement! That's the purpose of the pilgrims. Every human being is born with sin, and even a newborn baby, although he has not sinned in any of his own, is a sinner and needs God's salvation because he was born with original sin.

One after another, the ships moored on the shore seemed to be affected by the cries, and they were shaken from side to side by the sound waves.

The birds gliding in the air looked at the dense crowd of kneeling down below, and their dark eyes revealed a kind of incomprehension. It has no understanding of what these humans are doing in its obscurant mind. After a chirp, he turned and flew away, heading for the other side of the sea.

The giant sword that the old knight Shabak was carrying was also placed on the ground by him, but unlike the others, he did not put his forehead on the ground. Instead, he made an intimate contact between his forehead and the sword body. There is something more important in his heart than God, and perhaps his already paranoid belief is also a kind of faith.

Vicos, on the other hand, fell to his knees as well. But instead of praising God, he looked at the empty air in front of him with a strange look. There seemed to be something in that air that attracted him. "Five hundred ......," Vicos muttered the number in a gloomy alley of the street.

His tone was so strange, as if there was endless magic in the number. There are puzzles that he can't solve.

In fact, when he was in the harbor, when he was kneeling on the dirt with the others, he found that a panel suddenly popped out in front of his eyes, and this suddenly popped up panel like the huàn panel he had seen in the Vault Realm.

A line of words appeared on the panel, "There is the power of faith around, worth 100 divine coins, do you want to collect it?"

This sudden line of words made Vicos a little confused, and he looked at the people around him who were kneeling on the ground praying sincerely, and wondered if even faith could be redeemed.

The answer is yes. As more and more people worship the number on the panel, the face value of the number becomes larger and larger, and when it reaches five hundred, the number no longer beats.

In line with the truth that it is cheap and does not take advantage of nothing, Vikos pressed the option of collecting, and then Vikos saw white light clusters rising from the bodies of the worshippers. The white light slowly rose into the sky, and flew towards the key that Vikos was hanging around his neck.

But Vicos looked at the faces around him, and found that these people didn't notice the change in space at all, and they were still praising God religiously. In other words, these white balls of light can only be seen by Vikos himself.

At the entrance of the dark alley, Vicos took out the key inside his clothes, and looked at the mysterious key that glowed strangely in the darkness, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

At this moment, he was a little confused, what was this key, who was Beniss, what was the purpose of the witch, and who was himself?

Bernice's relationship with the key can be seen from her words, their relationship is one, she is the key. The key is her. But her relationship with the key is more like a mysterious attachment, and the key is the medium through which she manifests herself in this world. The Key is also the gateway to the Vault Realm. In other words, the Vault Realm - Benis - Key – all three together make up one thing. That is, the [King's Vault] is an item, in which the key is the medium, Benis is the storage zài who is responsible for trading, and the Vault Realm is the space where the vault is stored.

But the question arises again, how could the [King's Vault] be sealed in the witch's twelve treasure chests, so there is only one explanation for the contents of these treasure chests were sealed inside. If you say this, you may be suspicious of nonsense, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are two different meanings in this seal. One is sealed inside by the witch herself, and the other is that the witch owns these chests, but the items in the chests are not sealed by her.

Judging from the fact that Bernice didn't know the witch after she was summoned, it is possible that this [King's Vault] was not sealed by the witch herself. If that's the case, then the question arises, who sealed these items in the treasure chests? And even if they were, why didn't the witch open the chests herself? Could it be that Benyss only has the power to manage the items in the space? But from the perspective of the witch's unlimited power in the space, this assumption is also unlikely. And before leaving the space, he also obtained a long sword given to him by the witch, although this long sword is just a beautiful style, and it seems that there is no great use for ceremonial swords at present, but it can be seen that the witch has the ability to teleport the items in the space to reality.

So why doesn't the witch appear in reality like Benis, is it the lack of a medium?

"Damn it!" Vicos slammed his fist against the wall. All sorts of questions flooded Vicos's mind. These questions swelled and grew in his mind, like a demon that made him feel painful, haunting his ever-moving mind. Vicos had a feeling. If you continue to think like this, you will definitely fall into this labyrinth of thinking. It's like the death labyrinth of the Minotaur, but he's not the mythical hero who eventually kills the Minotaur. Moreover, in this age of monotheism, how can these ancient polytheistic myths come about?

Vicos removed his fist from the wall, straightened his clothes, and walked slowly out of the alley, towards the avenue beyond the alley.

Four ten-meter-wide avenues traverse the entire city of Colesman, dividing the entire Colesmang into three major areas and nine districts. In contrast to the usual circular layout of the city centered on the city square, the layout of the city of Collesmangcheng is divided by these four avenues. The four avenues are arranged in a zigzag pattern, and the middle area is the inner city of Colesman, where the monarch of Colesmang lived, and the largest church in the whole of Colesman, an ancient church with a strong Basilica style.

Grand Duchy of Colesman, ruler of the Holy City, holy sovereign. But the establishment of this kingdom was not as glorious as his title. His establishment was a total invasion, a dehumanized massacre and a religious purge!

"You, those who listen to me, those who truly believe in God, who have been endowed with power, strength and great souls by God, whose ancestors were the pillars of the world of the Holy Religious Order, whose kings fought against the invading of the pagans - I call you, to cleanse your religion from the dirt that covers the world...... Ah, brave knights, faithful parishioners, invincible descendants of your ancestors! Do not let your children get bogged down in their own affairs, but remember the Savior's oracle that he who loves his father and mother more than me does not deserve my blessing. Those who forsake their property, their parents, their brothers, their sisters, their wives and their children for the sake of my name will be rewarded a hundredfold and will receive eternal life!" With the decree of the then Pope, in his provocative speech, the whole world of holy religion set off a wave of march to the East, known as the "First Crusades".

"Colesman, the center of the earth, fertile and rich beyond a single piece of land in the world, is another paradise full of joy. We are full of poverty, hunger and sorrow, the old people are almost dead, the carpenters are nailing the coffins, and the mothers are holding the bodies of their children, grief-stricken...... Catholics, the country of the East is so rich, full of milk, goat's milk and honey, spices, pepper and gold and precious stones. Who will not become a rich man there?, and dye the cross red as your emblem, and you will be the 'Crusaders,' and the Lord will bless you with invincibility!"

However, at this moment, the ancient city welcomed a young squire, or a man who was about to become Viscount Boseksen. (To be continued......)
