Huh? Are they all real?...

"what happened to you?"

The witch only snapped out of her daze upon hearing her companion's voice. She turned around and continued walking inside.

"No, it's nothing, let's continue."

"In short, Augustus, having completed his mission, voluntarily accepted the peaceful evolution proposed by the senators, which is why Rome remained so silent after his death. Because everything had already been rendered meaningless."

"However, Augustus's followers and admirers did not disappear. On the contrary, they possessed considerable power. However, they preferred to use their power elsewhere, just like Augustus, whom they followed!"

Upon hearing this, the knight exclaimed in astonishment:

"Did they build this place? The last followers of Augustus?"

"Yes, although Augustus is gone, his spirit has not died."

"Although he died in Rome, his spirit of giving everything for the world has not died."

"Augustus' followers foresaw that the gradually corrupt Roman aristocracy would attract the abyss's gaze, so they built this sanctuary to keep it away from the abyss. They wanted to protect Rome and its people in this way."

"For three ages, this sanctuary has protected Rome!"

This world is broken and fragmented, but there are always people who mend it.

This person used to be Moen, but then someone else took his place.

Although, like Moen, they did not realize that it was not only the Roman nobility who had fallen into corruption.

As the witch's voice faded, the heavy doors were pushed open by an invisible force.

Everything inside was revealed.

It was a simple sanctuary, and before them stood a high platform that was clearly an altar.

Looking at the tall altar, the knight instinctively wanted to kneel down.

He was also a high-sequence individual, and he knew very well what such an altar and arrangement represented.

The mural of the morning star on the wall and the depiction of the ferryman on the ground clearly indicate that the sacred object enshrined here is the remains of a saint!

So he immediately knelt down and began to simplify the holy emblem according to his own beliefs.

"Origin above, Lord above, I have actually been able to see the great Augustus!"

His words left the witch somewhat bewildered.

After a long silence, the witch finally revealed something embarrassing:

"This is not where Augustus is worshipped."

"what?!"

The knight nearly jumped up.

"Isn't this the sanctuary built by the followers of Augustus?"

“They built the sanctuary, but they did not enshrine Augustus’s remains there. Moreover, Augustus was only a mortal, and his remains could not do all that.”

For three eras, the abyss was isolated, and during that time, not a single recorded demon appeared in the world.

This is indeed a miracle that no mortal skeleton could accomplish.

"Who is enshrined here?"

Although he knew the witch was right, the knight still couldn't quite hold back.

Kneeling before the wrong person is quite something.

"Um, do you remember the person I mentioned before?"

The knight paused for a moment before saying:

"Is it that whatever is spoken of is the One who will appear?"

"Yes, these are the organs of this person. But I don't know exactly which organ."

The knight asked tentatively:

"How did you know?"

He was also a high-sequence individual, but he had never heard of these things before.

“A man wearing one of the Three Rings of the Elves told me this.”

The knight didn't ask if the other party was reliable, because he trusted what he saw and the witch's judgment.

"You've been acting strange these past few days. Is it because of what he said? What else did he say?"

The witch lowered her head slightly and looked down at her feet, saying:

He said that in a very, very distant time, before the Age of Gods had officially begun, in the beginning of creation when it was said that the world had never been asleep.

"He gathered his brothers and sisters, the firstborn children."

“He stood on the sun and spoke these words to his firstborn sons who were standing on the earth.”

"The six angels threw their blood-stained daggers into the well, and the well dried up and the water dried up, so that the way might be prepared for the demons who come from the evil land."

“And five unclean spirits, like frogs and vultures, will come, for they are the spirits of the devil, who do evil deeds and go out to the kings of the whole earth, to gather them together for war.”

The knight shook his head and said:

“I… I don’t quite understand. This sounds like a description from some church scriptures. Or rather, there are just too many similar texts.”

The witch continued:

“Not only that, He also said.”

"When the heavens were opened, a man on a white horse appeared. He judged and waged war in righteousness."

“His eyes were like flames, and he wore many crowns on his head, each crown bearing a name and each crown symbolizing the highest power in the world, but no one but him could see them or know those names.”

“He is dressed in blood-stained clothes, and his name is known to all and unknown to all. He leads the armies of heaven and confronts mankind. From his mouth comes a sharp sword that can slay nations. He will rule over them with a rebuking iron rod and tread the face of the gods.”

The knight said seriously:

"It's like some kind of mystical prophecy, so someone lured many people into participating in an unjust war, only to be defeated one by one by a great man."

As he spoke, the knight cursed in a nasty way:

"Damn it."

That's already happened!

And right before their eyes—six Roman angels who had betrayed Augustus were summoning armies of kings from all over the world in the name of the five fallen Romes.

They're about to go to war with Augustus, who's been crowned the ruler of the world by countless nations!

"What else did He say?"

Then another strange phenomenon appeared on the ground: a monster, resembling both flame and demon, crawled out from the earth. Its appearance brought about the death of a third of humanity because they did not believe in justice. Its advance brought about the death of another third of humanity because it devoured evil and grew stronger.

Only the last third of the people will be saved because they are kind, uphold justice, and wait for the knight on the white horse.

That was all the witch knew, but in the end, she shook her head helplessly and said:

"The one wearing one of the three Elven rings doesn't know what comes after. But I think that as long as we take good care of this sanctuary, people can live in peace."

The knight immediately produced a large number of runes and supplies.

"Alright, since this sanctuary is so important, let's be well-prepared."

But as he stepped forward, the runes in his hand fell to the ground one after another.

Because the altar was empty.

Chapter 252 The World Gathers Here (3k)

Looking at the empty altar, the knight turned around and asked:

Are there any protective measures in place?

The witch stepped forward solemnly, and only after confirming that there was nothing on the altar did she sigh and say:

“No. Someone must have arrived here before us and taken the holy remains. Although the Rubik's Cube in my hand is the only guide, it's been three eras. It's not impossible that someone accidentally stumbled in by chance.”

"However, since the Old Continent has remained unharmed for three eras, it means that the Holy Remains should still be in the Old Continent."

The knight said helplessly:

"From the very beginning, I've wanted to ask this: why did we enter such an important place so easily? Didn't the people back then think of leaving behind any guards or barriers?"

The witch shook her head and said:

"It seems that the characteristics of the sacred remains allow them to hide them without leaving any magical protection. As for guarding them, being too strong would attract attention, while being too weak would be meaningless. Therefore, this sanctuary has no protection other than being hidden underground."

In theory, that would be enough, because if the sanctuary were hidden away and no one knew about it, who could find the underground ruins in the entire Old World like a needle in a haystack?

Therefore, they left behind the Rubik's Cube prism as the only guide they could find.

This was also a popular method of hiding treasure in the Second Age.

And it truly leaves most people clueless about how to find the treasure without the corresponding instructions.

Even the prophets!

but now.

The knight said helplessly:

"So how do we find the Holy Remains now?"

The witch said wistfully:

"I do not know either."

-

With the vigorous peddling of six Roman angels.

The Romans finally assembled an extremely large army.

They came from all over the world, from various dynasties, empires, and duchies.

Although they are merely the standing armies of their respective countries, rather than absolute elite forces like the Dwarven Kingsguard.

But such a huge number is terrifying just to hear about.

According to the fishermen who make a living by fishing in the sea.

Throughout the entire day, whenever they looked up, they could see a vast fleet of airships in the sky.

They are arranged neatly, full of vigor, and incredibly majestic.

Meanwhile, on the Roman side, they saw such a massive army.

Everyone laughed.

Especially the last of the Roman nobles.

Although they paid a huge price, as long as their status and power could be guaranteed, it was nothing more than living a hard life.

And it's not necessarily a hard time; they can simply increase their exploitation!

In any case, without Augustus and his honor guard, could those lowly people still threaten their rule?

Totally impossible!

Since it's impossible, then they can exploit us however they want.

Otherwise, they can't really suffer themselves, can they?

For the Roman nobility, or even for most of the nobility in the world today, they would never compromise their quality of life in order to make life better for the commoners.

Even a wine glass that they might use and then throw away could cost more than a middle-class family's annual income.

The six Roman angels personally and warmly received the leaders from various places.

To be honest, even they had never seen such a large-scale operation before.

Looking at the airships that filled the entire sky, any one of the six Roman angels would have nodded in approval.

Great! If they lose again this time, they'll commit suicide on the spot!

They have gathered the forces of the entire world; they have many demigods, and even many angels like themselves.

Apart from the fact that the gods and kings were not present in person.
