Chapter 1123: The Great Shrine of Ellands
After a few more days, the panda finally got ready and set off for heaven.
Because he had a formal "entry permit", he didn't go to Xingzhao's research institute and used the portal to go to heaven - that's almost a smuggling act, if it's a half-blood angel like Cameron, it's fine, like him People, if they use that method to pass by, they will be suspected of causing trouble.
What he chose was to go to the Kingdom of Ailanz and borrow the huge altar outside the royal city "Brilliant Ailanz".
The large altar of Ai Lanz is dubbed "the Temple of Heaven" by the passers-by. It is probably the largest man-made building in the history of the Western Land. It is over 1,200 meters high, and the base is over 3,300 meters long. It is bigger than Jade Emperor Peak, the main peak of Mount Tai.
Even with the power of magic, this incomparably grand altar—or the great temple, consumed incalculable human and material resources. Fortunately, Liu Daoqing learned his spells from the magic book left by Ernst Lopez, the sage of moving mountains, and used the method of moving mountains as an aid. Otherwise, perhaps until now, this spectacle has not been completed.
This building is so huge that every evening, its shadow will cover the entire Royal City of Ai Lanz in advance, allowing the night of the city to come earlier. And in the morning, because of its reflection, the daytime in Island City is significantly brighter than other places.
Because of its existence, the entire land near the King City of Ellants has sunk a lot. Although the traversers used a lot of spells to strengthen the crust, such a huge and heavy thing was pressing on it, and the huge weight was always a problem that could not be completely solved.
In the end, Eric found a solution. Through a huge magic circle, part of the gravity of the huge temple was converted into power, and it was supplied to the city of Elanz and several surrounding water sources, thus completing the world-famous spectacle "Ai. Lanz's Rainbow Fountain".
Walking on the steps leading to the large altar at the top of the temple, if the weather is good and your eyesight is good, you can clearly see dozens of rainbows, big and small, all around. It was a magnificent scene created by sunlight falling on the water source that was turned into a fountain because of the magic circle.
Liu Daoqing accompanied the panda. The two of them did not bring any attendants or bodyguards, just like two ordinary tourists, walking up the steps.
Except for a specific period, under normal circumstances, the Great Temple does not have any special security measures. It is almost impossible for mortals to cause damage to such a huge structure. Even if you want to engrave a line of "Zhang San is here" on the ground, because the magic circle protecting the Great Temple will spread any damage to it to the whole. Unless you really have the power to move mountains, don't try to damage it in the slightest.
The annexes of the Great Temple—the temples of various churches, large and small, as well as a series of memorial halls from the Warring States Period to the Thracian Period to the Elanz Period of the various families headed by Ailanz, etc. Enjoy the protective effect of this magic circle. But those places are guarded, and it is not easy to destroy them.
Besides, what if it was destroyed? It's no hassle to fix...
"When you wanted to build the spectacle, we all said 'the spectacle is wrong for the country'. As a result, after so many years, the spectacle has also been built for you, and the national strength of Ai Lanz has not suffered any loss." Panda walked while walking. Sigh, "It seems that we are not good enough in economics!"
"This is called stimulating domestic demand. There is demand for production. Strong demand can effectively promote production and stimulate the development of the national economy." Liu Daoqing wore a linen robe and leaned on a green bamboo stick, but said words that were completely incompatible with this outfit. "Before we crossed, the country was desperately building houses to speculate on housing prices and boosting domestic demand."
"Are you sure that will work?"
"God knows, I didn't plan to use it anyway." Liu Daoqing smiled, "We, Elants, don't need to engage in any real estate economy. After all, it is still an agriculture-based society. If agriculture is done well, the whole society will be stable. Next Leave it to my daughter to do it."
Panda smiled: "When is your wife going to abdicate?"
"Come on, she has been complaining a lot during this time, because of worrying about national affairs, her wrinkles have increased - I think she probably wanted to retire impatiently after seeing Ada grow up and be able to handle national affairs. "Liu Daoqing said, "I guess... She may have arranged her bedroom next to the board game room."
Thinking of Her Majesty the Queen, who was usually majestic but always wanted to play the dice again on the board game stage, Panda couldn't help but want to laugh.
In order to avoid cheating, the dice of the board game table uses a fully automatic dice thrower. The entire dice thrower is made of magic inert materials. Whether you are a martial arts master or a magician, you can never control the number of dice.
This greatly increases the uncertainty of the board game adventure, and also makes a large group of people addicted to it all day, unable to extricate themselves.
Katarina, the queen of the kingdom of Ellands, is a board game party who is heavily addicted. If there are people in this world who are unwilling to be kings in order to play games, Panda thinks, she must be the first.
Fortunately, their child Ada has grown up. She, who has been educated by the king over the years, has been gradually taking over state affairs recently. I believe that Liu Daoqing and his wife are not far from retirement.
"After retirement, what are you going to do?" Panda asked.
"Probably practice on the altar." Liu Daoqing thought for a while and replied, "Over the years, the Huangtian Mutual Aid Federation has established branches everywhere in the Western Land, and the scale has become very large. But I don't know why, but they still keep in touch until now. Less than 'Yellow Sky'... I plan to study this topic after I retire, and see if I can cross the block of the endless sea and connect to the East."
"What if you can't?"
"Then I'll go to the Eastern Land." Liu Daoqing said, "Anyway, I also need to go through the catastrophe before I can completely temper my blood into a 'true dragon'. There is no catastrophe here in the Western Land. If you want to cross the catastrophe, of course You can only go to the East."
"You have a good life, what are you doing to cross the robbery? It's very dangerous."
"Anyway, we are all immortals, so what's the danger?" Liu Daoqing smiled nonchalantly, "The most is to deduct experience points, it doesn't matter."
While speaking, the two had already walked through the memorial area on the ground floor of the Great Temple, past the temple area on the middle level, and came to the way to the altar area on the top floor.
Several Huangtian Mutual Aid Federation staff came up, probably wanting to introduce some "tour instructions" to them, but just halfway through, they recognized Liu Daoqing's identity, so they didn't come together, just far away After bowing from afar, he stepped aside.
Liu Daoqing and Panda returned the salute with a smile, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Their footsteps were fast, and they soon came to the altar on the top floor of the Great Temple.
The altar was empty, without any special sacrificial supplies, only neat yellow slates.
Except for the time for special sacrifices, this place is usually so empty, and there is no sense of majesty or mystery at all.
The panda walked to the center of the altar, nodded his thanks to Liu Daoqing, and poured divine power into the medal on his chest.
After a while, a white light descended from the sky and enveloped him inside.
This is the light of reception from heaven, which will take him to the world that ordinary people can only reach after death.
