Sinia, who had been brainwashed by Oswald for a year, was shocked to hear the name of the God of Light, Phae. The girl, who had been crying like a puppy, suddenly stopped crying and said, sobbing, "Can I see him in the tomb of God? I want to go..."
The old medical officer said kindly, "You can go to the tomb of the god and see his bones."
Sinia was silent for a moment.
Oswald, who "likes Phae very much," could not bear to listen to this. He glared at the old medical officer and asked, "Why did the Great Elder of the Spirit Race let them go to the tomb of Phae?"
The old medical officer waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe in the old gods or the Empress gods?"
Oswald replied, "I do not believe in either. I believe in myself. However, I am more inclined to the old gods."
Sinia turned to look at him. "Is it because of Phae?"
Oswald rolled his eyes and covered her face with his hands, lest she make trouble again.
"Your Majesty should know that the God of Light is not only in charge of light but also in charge of war and health. The Great Elder said that the source of witchcraft is the same as the gods, and they cannot solve it. Your Majesty, have you heard of the legend of the tomb of the God of Phae? The most widely circulated one is that there is a Silver Sparrow Holy Grail in the altar of the main hall of the Tomb of Father God, and the cup is full of holy water."
Oswald was skeptical. "Is it still useful after so many years?"
Fortunately, he was the emperor, otherwise, if he said this in front of the faithful believers of the old gods, he would have been beaten.
The old medical officer hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a sentence. "At least the original Emperor Besseman succeeded, or else there would be no successor."
This was the most important thing.
Oswald pondered for a moment, then said to the old medical officer, "I understand. Do you still have a way to find that book?"
The old medical officer bowed again and said, "I will try my best."
After the old medical officer and the servants had been dismissed, only Oswald and Kevin remained in the study. Kevin could tell from Oswald's expression that he did not place all his hopes on the tomb of the God of Phae. After all, it was not a place that ordinary people could enter.
There were many different accounts of the tomb of the God of Phae circulating in the world, but they all had one thing in common: it was dangerous.
They had not read the book that the old medical officer had mentioned. The official records of Besseman's era did not mention the strange disease, but they did vaguely mention that Besseman had come to revere the god of light, Fae, in his later years. If this was indeed due to the old medical officer's explanation, then it was understandable.
It was also conceivable that many soldiers had been lost in the attempt to enter the tomb of the gods and reach the main hall. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for the vagueness of the official records.
Oswald rubbed his ears and narrowed his eyes. "The tomb of the God of Phae... This is not a good option. It would cost too much to send people in, and it's not worth it. What are you thinking about?"
Kevin had been leaning against the window and staring at the flying insects outside in a daze. When he heard Oswald speak, he turned his gaze to him and said, "If you want to go to the cemetery—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from outside the door. "Your Majesty, the Royal City Patrolling Army is urgently reporting!"
