Chapter 489 - 424: Logos’s Holy King (Two in One)
A hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Pastures, fisheries, mills, and other facilities had been built; countless trees had been felled by slash-and-burn, leaving behind open farmland; canals had been dug and sea salt had been dried. The people of Logos had finally settled into a life that was modest yet stable. Stone altars facing the direction of the Holy Land rose from the earth, adorned with exquisite murals of several Prophets and four Holy Scriptures engraved on stone tablets, interpreting the unchanging beliefs of this race throughout millennia.
The people of Logos revered Nu Mirda as king, kneeling daily towards the Holy Land and living a life of prayer to God.
The Royal City had gradually been perfected, with low houses lined in rows, streets varying in size, contrasting starkly with the grand and magnificent Palace, whose main body was constructed from premium stone material. The walls featured fine reliefs crafted by artisans, and a statue of King Nu Mirda kneeling on one knee while raising a scepter stood at the grand staircase—this posture symbolized the power bestowed by God to reign over the Kingdom. This splendid palace was the tallest building on the ground, ostensibly the core of the entire Royal City, the soul of the Kingdom.
From his higher vantage point, King Nu Mirda saw the Pattern Garden filled with wheat. In front of the stone tablets inscribed with Holy Scriptures, a group of young priests recently selected for the Pattern Garden chanted the contents softly, their hands clasped together, looking utterly devout.
The Pattern Garden was the soul and spirit of the elves. Since the era of Prophet Al, ancient priests had wandered among the golden and full wheat spikes, contemplating the laws of the world, understanding the truth of the world, and studying the ultimate truths—the origins of theology and the gathering place of reason.
King Nu Mirda slowly descended from his height, accompanied by guards, to this Pattern Garden.
"Great king chosen by God, Holy King!"
"We will forever submit to your scepter, kneel before your crown, and praise God’s grace together."
