Chapter 559 Divine Power Crystal
Constantinople was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Eastern and Western Roman Empires had been officially divided for a hundred years. The situation of the Eastern Roman Empire at this time was slightly better than that of the Western Roman Empire.

After all, the Western Roman Empire was famous. It was the capital of the Roman Empire and possessed a large amount of wealth, which attracted many barbarians who wanted to move south.

The Eastern Roman Empire had its capital, Constantinople, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and was not as wealthy as the Western Roman Empire, so the Eastern Roman Empire had always simply defeated the Western Roman Empire and forced it to pay tribute.

During this period, the Eastern Roman Empire had already submitted to the Hun Empire and paid a huge amount of tribute, after which the Hun Empire stopped attacking the Eastern Roman Empire.

At the same time, the Ostrogoths, who had posed a huge threat to the Eastern Roman Empire, were also conquered by the Huns.

The pressure on the Eastern Roman Empire was actually greatly reduced as a result.

At the same time, other enemies of the Eastern Roman Empire did not have the strength to threaten Constantinople, which gave the Eastern Roman Empire a chance to recuperate.

When Richard arrived in Constantinople, it had not become depressed due to the war. Instead, a large number of ships and caravans came to trade.

This can be said to be a rare peaceful place in the whole of Europe.

Richard secretly searched around Constantinople. He used his mental power to scan, but did not find anything special.

Even the largest church in Constantinople was carefully checked, but there was no trace of holy relics there. However, in the monastery at the back, Richard found some ascetics and scarabs preserved by these people.

This scarab was stained with some of the Son of God's blood and possessed some magical powers, but they were not very powerful.

After searching and finding no other holy relics, Richard began his journey to Jerusalem in the east.

Jerusalem at that time was not as famous as it is in later generations. It was just a small city. After the Romans conquered it hundreds of years ago, they did not pay much attention to this city.

But Jerusalem is indeed a fertile land. After all, there are many deserts and Gobi to the east.

At this time, Jerusalem became the center of monotheism with the support of Rome. A large number of churches were built in the city, and there was also a Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

During this period, Jews were still not allowed to live in Jerusalem. Many of the people living here were Romans, their slaves, and some Arabs.

When Richard came here, it was still very peaceful. Although the Western Roman Empire was in turmoil, it was hardly affected here as it was thousands of miles away from Rome.

They don't know that the past few decades have been a rare period of peace for the city of Jerusalem. Then, the Arabs in the East began to rise, and the rising Arabs began to attack here in waves.

The Arabs would later create another monotheistic religion that was extremely similar to the Creator Jehovah. Richard even suspected that this was the creation of the Creator in the Old Testament of the monotheistic religion under another pseudonym.

After all, the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament in the monotheistic religion is too great. Richard suspected that the aspects of other gods swallowed by the Creator were not digestible. In the end, the split aspect gained independence and became a relatively independent god.

If this is true, then things become more interesting.

This split god used the trick of the Son of God to almost monopolize the monotheistic faith, and the original belief in the Creator must have plummeted. This split god even wanted to turn around and devour the original Creator in the Old Testament.

In order to fight against this split aspect, the Creator in the Old Testament had to compromise and even start a new religion.

Richard was just guessing about these things. After all, this was too similar to monotheism.

After arriving here, Richard began to use his mental power to scan the entire city. With his powerful mental power, he soon discovered an underground palace hidden under the city.

The underground palace is not big, and many passages inside have collapsed. This place should have been excavated during the Kingdom of Israel. When Israel was destroyed, the first holy object of monotheism, the Ark of the Covenant, was hidden in the secret passage.

Richard scanned with his mental power and found that the Ark of the Covenant, which was said to contain the Ten Commandments stone tablets agreed upon between the squids and the Creator, was not placed here.

I guess he has been taken away.

After all, such an important thing, with such powerful power, could not possibly stay here. Those squids should have taken it away, but no one knew where they hid it.

In addition to some utensils, the underground palace also preserved some armor and weapons, gold and silver jewelry, and some food. These things should have been left behind by the Kingdom of Israel.

Richard even speculated that the squids left these things because they wanted to restore their country. Unfortunately, they were facing the Romans in their heyday.

Not only did they lose Jerusalem, they were even directly expelled, and until now, they are not allowed to enter here.

Richard found a passage in a cave outside the city, then entered the underground palace and collected the gold, silver and jewelry stored inside.

As for weapons and armor, after hundreds of years, many of them have become rusty. It is better to forge new ones than to scrap them down.

After taking away the gold and silver items, Richard began to scan the area around Jerusalem.

According to the records of monotheism, after the savior of monotheism was nailed to the cross, he was secretly taken down and buried in a nearby valley.

Because the situation was critical at the time, not many people knew about it. At that time, neither the squid priests nor the Romans allowed monotheism to develop. Monotheism could only be buried secretly.

Richard began to scan the valleys around Jerusalem, a task that was not difficult for him. Although the Son of God had reincarnated in a mortal body, his body still possessed the power of a god.

This body should actually be considered the incarnation of the gods.

The body of a god's incarnation is completely different from that of an ordinary person. Even if the god takes away most of the divine power when he leaves, the remaining divine power is still obvious.

Even after hundreds of years, these divine powers would not weaken much.

Soon, Richard discovered a valley where a divine power was entrenched. Richard rushed there without hesitation.

This is a remote valley. The valley is not very big and the surroundings look ordinary. There are not even any obvious signs.

The location where the divine power resides is in a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave has been blocked by rocks, and there is a large amount of yellow sand buried outside the rocks.

Almost hard to detect.

Richard waved his hand gently, and a whirlwind appeared, blowing away the surrounding yellow sand and revealing the rocks underneath. Then Richard pushed the rocks away and entered the cave.

The cave was very dark and filled with a rotten smell.

After Richard entered, he quickly found a simple wooden coffin. There was a divine power in the coffin, but there was no corpse inside.

There was only a piece of linen, a few blood-stained nails, and a crystal of divine power.

According to monotheism, the savior will return to the kingdom of God three days after his death.

The god must have taken back his divine incarnation, but this divine incarnation had died and could not take back all the divine power. The remaining divine power gathered into a divine crystal. The shape of this divine crystal was similar to a bone, but it looked crystal clear and emitted a faint golden light.

Of course, the god should have left behind more than just these. He should have also left behind some holy bones. After all, he needed to preach, and leaving behind holy objects was also to strengthen the power of religion.

After all, there is a piece of holy bones in the monastery.

In addition to this divine power crystal, the linen cloth and several nails next to it also contain some divine power. Although the divine power is not too strong, it is enough for this low-magic world.

Richard directly put the three things into the space, and then restored the surroundings to their original state.

Richard then left Jerusalem and set off back to Rome. With the holy relic in hand, he was ready to look for the right person.

Richard was going to choose a radical ascetic from the Arian sect as a saint. These ascetics were almost the most determined believers and they would not change easily.

And if they get the so-called "blessing from God", doesn't that just mean they are favored by God and what they insist on is right.

At that time, these people would naturally not agree with the Roman Catholic Church's approach.

When Richard returned, he took a ship directly from Jerusalem to Constantinople and then to Rome.

Richard did not stay in Rome, but headed directly north and returned to his territory.

At this time, the war in the north had just ended. As he expected, the Hun Empire was defeated, but the Roman Alliance also suffered heavy losses. Both sides stopped fighting and went back to rest.

Although the Roman alliance won this battle, it suffered heavy losses. The king of the Visigothic Kingdom was killed on the spot. At the critical moment, the prince of the Visigothic Kingdom stood up, took charge of the situation, and continued to lead the Visigothic soldiers to resist the Huns' attack.

At the critical moment, they successfully blocked the Hun army and won the opportunity for victory in the war.

After the war, the prince immediately led the army of the Visigothic Kingdom to evacuate and return to the Visigothic Kingdom.

The news of the king's death has been passed back. If he cannot return as soon as possible, his brothers who remain in the kingdom will not give up the throne to him.

His Royal Highness the Prince must go back and fight for the throne as soon as possible.

Without the Visigothic Kingdom's army, the remaining Roman coalition forces lost their absolute advantage and had to withdraw. This war ended in such a whimper.

The victorious Aetius began to lead his army back to Rome, and the reputation of this Roman protector reached an unprecedented height.

Richard looked at the grand welcome ceremony prepared for Aetius outside the city of Rome, shook his head slightly, and then turned to head for his territory.
