It was not only the Assyrian Empire that received the news. The Holy Empire obtained the report of the discovery of King Auther tomb earlier than the Assyrian Empire.
In the face of this news, no man could stay sane, especially those high-ranking nobles. What's more, the Holy Empire declares to be the spokesperson of Gaia, the God of Creation, and the Holy artefact discovered should be handed to thy.
The Pope gave the order to depart. In any case, he must get the sword bestowed by Gaia, Excalibur. At the same time, they sent the most elite holy knights to the sunset mountains of the Frith Star League to seized the tomb of Auther. The commander was Cardinal Titus.
When Titus arrived, the outside of the tomb was in a mess. The carcasses were piled up here for a long time, no one cleared it, and it gave off an awful stench.
Titus, who's of noble birth, didn't care about it and led a team of knights directly down the tomb, and soon arrived at a room full of paintings and statues depicting tales.
Surprisingly, after the looting, the place is still untouched. No one dares to damage the murals here, let alone grab them.
"The stories of the old did not lie. The King face of against Gaia thy self." Tirus spoke his voice low, yet uncaring. Like that of the lion roar, unmoving and arrogant yet humble.
Under the light of the torch, the passage on the mural is striking. Others are frightened of what is shown, but Tirus is not afraid, because he is a righteous believer, he would gladly die in the name of Gaia.
"Summon our man, this is an important sign of God in the world. Tell them to bring these Holy texts to the church ." Tirus ordered and then strode to the last stone room. The last stone room was his goal of coming down.
The surroundings of the last stone chamber are the messiest, with corpses and ooze everywhere, plus it's a cave, hermetic, and the air is very awful, one nose could smell the iron from the decaying corpses.
Tirus endured the stench and rapidly walked to the high platform, and then his body froze.
Because what was in front of him was a scrap of ruins, and the Gaia statue that had stood here was destroyed.
Tirus body trembled. This was infuriating, God-image is of great significance to the Holy Empire. It is precisely because of the True Status of Gaia that they can publicize their orthodox beliefs, with one more. The power of the Holy Empire would have soared to new heights.
Therefore, even at this crucial moment when all forces of the Empire were searching for Excalibur, he was sent to this tomb.
But now, the true Status has ceased and been destroyed by others.
"Who, who the hell, dare to blaspheme God and demolish the True Status? This bastard! Is he not afraid of being cursed? Not afraid of the wrath of Gaia and the Holy Empire" Tirus roared, his once humble voice has to turn into that of a madman, but after a long time he settled down, he ordered: "Check! go and Check, who has been here, who dared to destroy the God-image, this sinner who took away the body of King Auther, must be found!"
"Master Bishop, Excalibur has not been found yet. Is it not too irrational for us to use our hands to track down the blasphemer?" A young Knight said. He was the son of nobility, a youngster, and most young Holy Knight are devoted but they fancy the blade more.
Tirus was taken aback, but soon he made up his mind: "The sword bestowed by God will be tracked, and the blasphemer must also be traced. We are believers of the Great God Gaia, and we absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of blasphemers, understood."
When Tirus said so, his inferiors had nothing to say. They were as angry as Tirus because they were also devout devotees of Gaia.
After a short time, the Knights scattered from the sunset mountains, their purpose is to search for the whereabouts of the blasphemer.
After deploying his man, Tirus was about to leave, but before leaving. Unawares he walked to the stone platform where Auther body was placed, and then he picked up a drop of blood from the stone platform.
"Absurd, why is there blood here?" He mumbled
Titus was very alarmed. There were corpses everywhere in the cave, but there were none on the high platform. One was because there was nothing worth robbing on the high platform, and the other was because people had a certain respect for it, so the high platform was pristine. Nothing but the ancients stones.
But weirdly Tirus saw a drop of blood and the blood looked odd, like a red jelly, in a state between solid and liquid.
"Could this be, King Auther blood?" Tirus asked in awe, and then made a decision to cover up these drops of blood with his cape, and waited for his man to return, to send it for study at the Institution of Fire, they are dwellers of the unknown, seekers of truth.
This was just a small battle in the search for the Excalibur, but it had an exceedingly far-reaching impact.
The Frith Star Alliance is located between the Holy Empire and the Assyrian Empire. Initially, the Holy Empire is closer to the Frith Star Alliance than the Assyrian Empire. Therefore, they have a greater chance of getting the Holy sword.
But because at this vital moment, they drew a part of their power to track down the whereabouts of the so-called blasphemer, resulting in limited power to compete for Excalibur. Thus, the sword, Excalibur was finally obtained by the people of the Assyrian Empire. It was brought to King City in the least time.
When he saw Excalibur, Dracule the first was overjoyed. He picked the sword. The alloy long sword that was enhanced by Origin was as light as a feather, but it chops iron like mud. Dracula held it with one hand. He then pulled out his sabre and slashed against Excalibur, his sabre was cut into two, and the split was as smooth as a mirror scratch.
"Hahahaha, this is indeed a mighty sword, a sword given by God, A Holy Artefacts, Excalibur!." Dracula chuckled wildly, and then wondered: "But, I came for its secrets, it said that Excalibur is the key to become a king chosen by God? Why is nothing happening?."
"Your Majesty, I believe it might be because you did not get the permission of God. I think you should pray to the Creator first, with the blade in hand." Darius who aided him in obtaining Excalibur advised.
Dracule nodded repeatedly, feeling that Darius's assertion made sense. Forthwith he gave an order: "Let the Pope prepare for the ceremony. I will pray to the Creator and ask Gaia to grant me the power of late king Auther."
But the truth is simpler, If you seek to get the power of the world, you only need to close your eyes and concentrate for a while. It doesn't require too complicated a method, but for those who do not know the method, it's more arduous than reaching the sky.
However, Darius's suggestion made Dracule a step closer to learning the power of Star Dust, The Three Heavens.
As mentioned, due to the split a thousand year's ago the church and the Imperial family were on an equal term, but after the rebellion undertaken by Dracule. The new church is now ruled by the Royal Family, Dracule himself.
In other words, in the Assyrian Empire, royal power is higher than theocracy.
After receiving the order of the Emperor, the Pope of the new Church immediately gathered the upper echelons of the Church. According to the ancient rule.
