In the center of the royal capital, there is a huge lake.

The lake is clear and the sun shines on it, making the lake surface look like a layer of gold yarn, which is particularly dazzling.

The waves of water swam through it from time to time, bringing out a series of pleasing scenes.

And in the center of this lake, there is a place like an island in the middle of the lake.

There, a chalk castle rose from the ground, located on it, and also located in the center of the entire lake, separated from the plain, with only a huge stone bridge connecting it, as the only road to reach the chalk castle, standing on the lake.

"Wow..."

When Lumiya and Melica saw this scene, they were so amazed that they could not speak, and their eyes were shining.

“This is really…”

Even Sheen couldn't help but feel a little amazed. It can be imagined how beautiful this scene is.

People came from all directions, gathered in front of the bridge, and checked by the knights guarding the bridge, entered the bridge one by one, and headed towards the chalk castle.

That is simply the most magnificent view. If it is a tourist attraction, it will definitely be a hot rhythm.

No, it's already popular now.

The evidence is that more and more people come from all directions, including the nobles on horse-drawn carriages and fully armed adventurers, which are very lively.

Vivian brought everyone here, and after a brief inspection by the knight at the entrance of the bridge, he walked onto the bridge deck.

"Did you see it?" Vivian led the way forward while pointing to the chalk castle on the island in the middle of the lake and said to Sheen and others: "That's the palace."

The palace castle of the Kingdom of Mitra is located on the lake in the center of the capital, and can only be reached through this only bridge road.

And there is no doubt that the so-called "most important place" mentioned by Vivian earlier refers to this.

"No...I didn't expect that the palace was built on the lake..."

Lumiya hasn't reacted to the stunning yet.

"Yes, it's so beautiful."

Merica even looked at the clear lakes on both sides of the bridge and the towering and beautiful chalk castle, with joy on her face.

As an elf close to nature, Merica should like it here very much, right?

Sheen fell in love with this place a little bit, looking around and asking Vivian.

"So can the palace be easily accessible?"

Not only Sheen and others, but also the civilians and adventurers in the royal capital could walk casually on this bridge and head to the palace. This situation was indeed somewhat beyond Sheen's expectations.

But this time, Sheen was wrong.

"Of course not possible. Not to mention the palace, even this bridge does not allow ordinary civilians and adventurers to pass through, otherwise there is no need to set up a bridge-guarding Knights in front of you." Vivian explained: "This bridge will only be open to the public at noon every day. Although it will not allow ordinary people to enter the palace, if you just cross the bridge to go to the island in the middle of the lake, the Knights will not stop it."

"Why?" Sheen asked his question without much hesitation, saying, "If you don't want to be passed by casually, there is no need to open it to the public at noon, right?"

Unless there is some special reason.

Vivian explained this special reason.

"Because there is not only a royal palace on the island in the middle of the lake, but also a temple."

Vivian pointed to the side of the palace.

Under Vivian's guidance, Xien and others saw that there was indeed a sacred and solemn palace next to the palace.

"That is the largest and most important temple in the Kingdom of Mitra. All temples in the Kingdom are dominated by it and are controlled by it. The clergy and believers in the temple also regard it as a holy land. Once they come to the capital, they will definitely come to worship. In addition, newborn children also need to come here to receive God's blessings. The island in the heart of the lake cannot always be closed. Therefore, only at noon every day, the island in the heart of the lake will be open to the public. Except for suspicious people, they will be stopped, and the rest can easily pass."

Vivian looked to the direction of the temple and his eyes flashed.

"There is also a gate in the temple that can connect to the God Realm. Through that gate, people can go to the God Realm. The goddesses in the God Realm also come to the human realm through that gate. Therefore, that temple is extremely important to the entire kingdom and even the human realm. If it were not for the fact that the brave men who built this country defeated the devil king, I am afraid that the palace would not dare to build it to be bigger and more brilliant than that temple, let alone the temple is located next to it."

In this world, theocracy is far more important than theocracy.

Of course, it is not absolute.

For example, the brave man who defeated the Demon King a thousand years ago would even respect the three goddesses, so the temple of the gods would be willing to sit next to him. If it were in other countries, this would never have happened.

Furthermore, divine power is more important than royal power, so it depends on the object.

Even if the gods are the creator and guide of the human race, there are also classes among the gods. If they are only subordinate gods, their identities are naturally much more noble than ordinary civilians. But if they are more noble than nobles or even royal families, that is impossible.

Therefore, although the human race follows God's teachings, it does not completely obey God's orders, but still depends on status.

Generally speaking, the status of royal families and nobles is already higher than that of lower-level gods. For example, the royal family in this country established by the brave man is no different from that of superior gods. Only the existence of the three goddesses can make the royal family in this country surrender.

And if it is the royal family or aristocrats of some small countries, their status is not even comparable to that of the lower gods.

To sum up, which side of the divine power or the royal power has more power depends on different occasions and different people. Because this country is a relationship established by brave people, the status of the royal family cannot be underestimated. The gods must give enough respect.

but...

"In recent years, there has been another reason for opening up the island in Lake Heart."

Vivian changed his mind and mentioned this topic.

Sheen was attracted to the attention.

"Is that reason the treasure of the kingdom you just mentioned?"

Sheen asked this question with curiosity.

"That's right."

Vivian nodded and said so.

"About seventeen years ago, an existence called the Sutra was born in the Kingdom."

Hearing this sentence, Sheen was stunned.

Because Vivian's words told Sheen that the treasure of that kingdom seemed to be a person.

The same is true.

"She is gifted and as soon as she was born, her magical power alarmed the gods and asked the goddess of fate, among the three goddesses, to cross the border to bless her."

"She is the direct successor of the royal family, that is, the descendant of the brave, with high potential and even hailed as the modern brave."

"She was already tenth at the age of four, and even as she was tenth at the age of ten, she even rose to thirty. When she was an adult two years ago, her level was sixty, and she was the first genius in the kingdom and even the entire human world."

"The kingdom regards it as the pillar of the future, and even more as the pinnacle of the world's future, so she takes the legendary knight commander as her teacher and learn from him."

"Because of her amazing talent and appearance, the people have long regarded her as a spiritual pillar. If they cannot see her safe and sound every day, there may even be a riot."

"So, another reason why Lake Heart Island is open to the public is to make the people feel at ease."

"In other words, now is the time for her to come out for inspection."

While talking, Vivian and his party arrived at the island in the middle of the lake and came to the palace.
