The moon in the east and the sun in the west, day and night alternate.
Time flies, and the years fly by.
It is the early spring of 12635 in the Leitings continental calendar.
Another year has passed since Chang Luofeng and Li Xun left Nimbuende Sanctuary.
The war between the major intelligent races headed by humans and the demon army is intensifying.
The northern countries on the mainland have strengthened their food armaments production capacity and continued to supply the southern countries at low prices.
The landlocked countries in the central part of the country are vigorously preparing their troops and continuously transporting troops to war-torn areas.
However, the Sigurd Empire, which originally advocated force, has ceased operations this time, which is extremely unusual.
The Sigurd royal family ordered its lords to temporarily prohibit all active forces in the country from participating in the war, waiting for the unified order of the empire.
Such a move immediately aroused people's suspicion.
There are rumors that the empire has obtained a large number of new weapons from people from other worlds and is training and reorganizing its army.
There are also rumors that the people from other worlds who arrived in the Leitings continent this time are different from the past.
They are not lost travelers in the stars, nor are they individuals or organizations that break through the shackles of space, but a whole world of life with great power.
Regarding the above statements, the empire adopted a silent attitude of neither denying nor admitting it, and allowed the rumors to ferment.
In the view of the Sigurd royal family, the news about the cross-border arrival of the Earth and Star worlds will spread throughout the continent sooner or later.
It is only a matter of time before the Earth people cooperate with other countries.
It was impossible for Sigurd to achieve monopoly regardless of the war situation, national strength or morality.
What the empire has to do now is to win at the starting line.
Taking advantage of the infancy of the Earth Star people, Xu Yifa enhanced their relationship, exchanged technology to develop new armaments, and expanded the scale of cooperation in all aspects.
In the end, through the integration of civilizations from the two worlds, national power is rapidly enhanced to achieve the goal of surpassing other countries.
The term agreed between King Barnt and the Earth Star Mission is three years.
Within three years, the Empire will provide the mission with a large amount of material resources and personal protection measures free of charge, and promises to lead Earth humans to formally contact the mainland countries when the foundation of the mission is solid three years later.
Sun Qian and Old John saw this clearly.
To put it nicely, it is assistance and protection; to put it worst, it is a disguised technological blockade.
However, there is nothing wrong with the empire from the perspective of its own interests, and they are also happy.
The Earth-Star Alliance's foundation in Readings is too weak and it really needs resources, protection, hiding identities, and time to transport personnel and materials and establish a stronghold.
The Sigurd Empire, where Leiyin is located, is the best partner at this stage.
Unlike the tense situation on the mainland, Nimbuende Sanctuary remains peaceful and peaceful today.
It's just that the center of the Holy City is a little more noisy than before.
When people pass by the Temple of Ishtar, they can't help but look at this majestic temple and then start whispering to their companions.
"Hey, have you heard? Miss Sirilla's contractors are going to enter the 'Time and Space Corridor' today."
"What? It's only been two years since the last time I recruited a contractor... It's Miss Sirella."
"It takes at least five years for the disciples taught by the God Knights to be qualified, right? The gap is too big. Miss Sirella is indeed my idol."
"Hush! Do you want to die? If other god knights hear this, your life will be at risk!"
Ignoring the gossip of the people around them, Xu Fei and his group were stunned.
Looked up.
The huge pure white building with a diameter of about 300 meters and a height of about 70 meters can be seen as far as the eye can see.
Whenever he looks up at this carefully polished and carved Ishtar Temple, Xu Fei can't help but feel shocked.
Lower your head.
A 100-meter circular square composed of light yellow pebbles is laid out at the feet, giving people a sense of luxury embedded in the heart.
On the edge of the square are wide roads paved with sleepers that extend to both sides and then connect to other squares.
In this way, six squares and six roads formed a huge hexagram on the vast land.
"Every time I see it, I feel like...tsk, it's so rich..." Xu Fei sighed.
For him, who has been living in an old and shabby bungalow, he cannot understand such an extremely luxurious building. He heard that this was the residence of a goddess in the past.
"Yes, it's much more luxurious than Longhu Mountain..." Fu Zhexing nodded in agreement.
The main halls of the peaks of Longhu Mountain have faded over time, and have been repaired and patched day by day. The head master has never thought of overturning them.
After all, my sect is also the holy land of Taoism...
Look at people again, this gap...
"Two idiots who have never seen the world. When you go up there, I will kill you if you embarrass me."
Suddenly, cold words came from behind, causing the expressions of Xu Fei and Fu Zhexing to freeze instantly.
Bang bang!
After the muffled sound, the two of them were kicked high into the air mercilessly by Sirela.
The dizzy feeling like a roller coaster lasted for about ten seconds.
Xu Fei felt the strength on his butt gradually disappear, and then he fell into a huge emerald window in a parabola shape.
thump! Gulu gulu...
The word 'big' hit the crystal clear floor, and Xu Fei rubbed his butt and got up.
thump! thump! thump!
Immediately afterwards, there was a dense sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from behind.
You don't need to look back to know that those are your companions.
I didn't dare to let go of my consciousness and looked around with only my eyes.
On the top floor of this pure white majestic temple, stands a beautiful female statue made entirely of blue crystals.
That should be Ishtar, the goddess of time and space believed in by Nimbuend Sanctuary, and also the goddess of Venus in the myths and legends of humans on Earth.
Under the stone statue, a strange altar in the shape of a dodecahedron rotates slowly, and twelve old priests in red surround it motionless.
I heard from the guys in the tavern that these old men and women have been standing here for thousands of years. They were unsmiling and just watched the changing of the seasons quietly.
"Cirella Alstorfen... The emerald skylight is the return journey of the divine bird Morabi... Your rude behavior... is contempt for the gods... We cannot allow it..."
A wizened old woman among the red priests slowly opened her eyelids, frowned and glanced at the black-haired girl who was walking carelessly.
"Shut up, Juna. In order to maintain your self-awareness that is on the verge of collapse, it is better to think less. If that smelly bird comes back and has any objections, I will roast it again."
Sirilla raised her chin, seemingly not taking the red priest's rebuke seriously, and her tone showed no respect for her elders.
"Ahem! Welcome, young contractors, may the goddess's protection be with you."
Suddenly, an elder in white robes holding a platinum scepter appeared in front of the altar at a ghostly speed.
When he saw Sirilla, a kind smile immediately bloomed on his old face.
This is Kruger, the high priest of the Ishtar Cult in Nimbuend Sanctuary.
Xu Fei narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the man who appeared to be the highest authority in the Holy Realm.
Thinking that he was the high priest, the time was just right to intervene to smooth things over...
