Chapter 351 The King's Golden Stool (Part 2)
Comparing the vision of [God's One Eye] and the naked eye, Lin An basically understood the truth of the [Sanshen] base platform.
Its actual area is only as large as an artificial island. When different members connect to Lin An's "little soul", he will see the space they created.
In other words, each [Sanshen] can give Lin An a new illusion.
But no matter how the soul world changes, the substance in front of him is just a bare water platform and four chairs.
However, as the actions of the Queen Mother of Charo and the three descendants of Ashanti ended, a cloud-like pattern like an eye suddenly appeared in [God's One Eye].
Is this really happening?
Before Lin An can confirm the authenticity, the sky suddenly darkens and thunder rumbles.
The "eye" covered with thick white clouds opens, and a gold-decorated stool rises from the bottom to the top. It is made of gold that is almost impossible to look directly at. There are not many patterns, but it exudes an indescribable dignity.
The kingly aura mentioned in online novels is nothing more than this. Lin An thought.
Under the curious and cautious gaze, the golden stool stopped at the center of the Sanshen.
Its height was twice that of the lion-skin chair where the Queen Mother of Charo sat, and it was even more out of tune with the chairs of the other three people.
With it as the highest point, the height of the four seats formed an isosceles triangle with a fault.
It seems that [Sanshen] had countless powerful mystics at its peak, and the one sitting on the golden stool was the king of the gods, the orthodox heir of the bloodline and culture of the Ashanti Empire.
Unfortunately, from the Middle Ages to the modern times, in the thousand-year-long secular war, the descendants of Ashanti were killed by the Xizhou family, and even genocide, and the glory of the past was long lost.
Modern people rarely hear the name "Ashanti", which represents glory and wisdom. The last time this nation was widely known in the world was a funny MyTube video-"Black people carrying coffins", the traditional funeral culture of the Ashanti region.
It is quite sad that the former empire has fallen to this point.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this stool represents the spirit of our Ashanti nation, and all the strength and fearlessness of this nation depends on the safety of this golden stool."
The silver lips of the Queen Mother of Charo opened and closed, and her ethereal voice announced solemn mottos.
"For the unity and prosperity of the Ashanti Kingdom, we should always be loyal to the custodian of this golden stool - he is the king of the entire Ashanti region, the incarnation of the sun god Nyakopen, and the person who sits on this seat will become the ruler of this land."
She picked up a gem-studded knife, picked up her dreadlocks, and "clicked" to cut the end of one.
"Please cut off a nail and a lock of hair from everyone present."
The other three gods cut off their nails and hair with tools according to her request, and handed them to her with both hands.
The Queen Mother of Charo picked up the empty cup on the stool, kissed the wall of the cup, spit out a kind of medicine from her mouth, and mixed everyone's cut nails and hair in it.
After stirring, she will apply the medicine on the golden stool.
As it was wiped, the golden light gradually weakened, becoming easier to be seen by the naked eye.
"Dead ancestors, gods of the sky, and the sun god Nyakopeng and the god of space! Please purify this stool that represents the royal power, and don't let disaster befall us - Odwira!"
Odwira means "purification" in Ashanti.
A mysterious art related to purification and "appearance".
Lin An watched the actions of the Queen Mother of Charo. After reciting the spell, she sat back on the chair, and the other three sat down one by one, silently surrounding the golden stool in the center.
The medicine slurry flowed down the corners of the stool, blended into the land, and disappeared, and the baptized stool was completely visible to the naked eye.
This stool consists of three parts, the base is rectangular, the top is generally as wide as the base, and the whole is concave.
Strange fluctuations filled the air, Lin An widened his eyes, and the system's indifferent prompt sound sounded synchronously.
"By observing the [Ashanti Great Philosopher's Words], the radiation value of the [Mysterious Encyclopedia] increased by 1%, and your resonance and understanding of the [Astrological Sage] attracted the medium 'Lantern Goddess' x1."
"Due to the radiation of the 'Lantern Goddess', your pollution level increased by 0%."
"By observing the [Ashanti Great Philosopher's Words], the radiation value of the [Mysterious Encyclopedia] increased by 1%, and your understanding of the [Astrological Sage]..."
"Due to the radiation of the 'Lantern Goddess'..."
This is a relic containing the "Lantern Goddess"!
Ashanti Great Philosopher's Words?
And the [Astrological Sage]...
If I remember correctly, when Lin An absorbed the medium of Kevin's mysterious item, the system also mentioned this [Astrological Sage], indicating that the "Lantern Goddess" item held by the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce was once the same as the golden stool, from the same individual.
The Duke said that in order to slowly decompose the remains of the alien, he used the [Agnia technology] of the pre-civilization to continuously split his spirit for four thousand years and made a large number of replica containers.
Therefore, almost all the relics of the "Lantern Goddess" held by the aristocratic families came from these replicas.
Could it be that the astrologer was a "man-made man" based on Anxius like Messiah and me?
Suppressing the thoughts that were about to surge, Lin An took a deep breath and asked calmly: "Charo, what is this?"
The scattered gods obviously didn't know that the relics they had preserved for generations would lose a trace of pure "Lamp Goddess" energy after just one meeting. Queen Qialuo cleared her throat and spoke.
“Do you know the story of the golden stool that fell from the sky when Osei Tutu came to the throne?”
"I have heard a little bit. It is said that on the day the first king of the Ashanti Empire ascended the throne, a stool made of gold fell from the sky and stopped on his knees. Since that day was Friday, the stool was called 'Friday's Golden Stool'."
This story is a typical case of "artificial myth" in the history of theology, but the golden stool is a genuine relic of the "Goddess with the Lamp".
Lin An had a hunch that this had something to do with the so-called [Astrology Magi].
"Yes, it represents the Ashanti throne and is a symbol of royal power."
Queen Charo folded her hands on her slightly bulging belly and walked down from the chair for the first time.
“Everyone regards the golden stool as a gift from the sun god, and believes that the Ashanti Kingdom is a blessing from God. It can be said that Ashanti is a country united by the myth symbolized by this golden stool. It is the Ashanti people. A symbol of the national spirit.”
“For hundreds of years, this stool has never been occupied by anyone, not even a king. During grand celebrations or ceremonies, Ashanti kings would just pose, pretend to sit on it, and then return to their seats. , put your arms on the golden stool.”
“Not only that, just like the sacred king, the golden stool cannot touch the ground. One of the items that the chiefdoms under the Ashanti Empire must pay tribute every year is elephant skin or elephant ears to place the golden stool. "
Lin An had heard about the tradition of over-perfectionists in Nanzhou, who believed that the king or anything that symbolized royal power was sacred.
The integrity or health of these people and objects is closely tied to the destiny of the country.
The Ashanti King's body must not be defective in the slightest, he cannot hit, let alone be hit, walk barefoot, and his buttocks must not touch the ground.
It was believed that any such thing happening would bring harm to the entire country.
The king's final ceremony before his death was even more solemn and sacred. People would not speak out about his death, but chose to express it in implicit ways, such as "the tree fell down" or "the lights in the house went out."
If a king dies in battle, it becomes taboo to keep silent.
"This is a stool that represents 'royalty and divine status' and whoever truly possesses it will become a king recognized by the gods of the sky and the sun."
Queen Qia Luo picked up the animal skins that were padded under the chair, and the other three Sanshen followed the same pattern and took out the furs belonging to their own chairs and placed them under the four legs of the golden stool.
"And we want you to have it, ranger."
"I see, this is both your 'reward' and your 'plot' to lure the tyrant to take a detour." Lin An raised his lips, "He was eager to conquer Lacon O not only to expand his territory, but also to get this gold stool."
Queen Qialuo smiled and said nothing, her five eyes shining with crystal light like streams.
"The reason why the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce firmly occupies Lakonao is because it does not want the tyrant's power to further increase. If Jacob, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, could not be the 'King of South Continent' required by the Golden Stool due to blood problems, he would have long ago Take it for yourself."
"Not necessarily." Queen Qialuo added, "He didn't take away the golden stool because he was taboo about another rumor."
"Rumors?"
"The last Ashanti king died in battle in front of the Golden Stool, and the kingdom fell apart." Queen Charo smiled, "Of course, rumors are just rumors. Ashanti people don't talk about kings who died in battle, they will say 'I Haven't seen him'.
Good guy, he comes with the curse of destroying the country.
In any case, once he accepts the golden stool given by Sanshen, Lin An will immediately become the first target of the tyrant's attack.
Then again, according to the rumored tyrant's character, after capturing Lacon O, he would immediately attack Bantu.
Since sooner or later we will face this cruel and arrogant Southern God, one of the [Seven Sins Demon Lords], it is better to accept the Golden Stool first and strengthen the overall strength of [World Tree].
In addition to the "Lamp Goddess" medium absorbed, Lin An sensed that there were more fragments of divinity inside the golden stool.
Just like Jericho's [Holy Shroud], that time Lin An went back in time and absorbed three mediums, but his Adam Kadmon ritual was still successful.
Queen Qialuo happened to mention "real possession"...
Does absorbing or activating the remaining energy of the Golden Stool depend on the difference in individual godhead?
Lin An, who was thoughtful, controlled the [Philosopher's Stone], lifted up the golden stool wrapped in four animal skins, and left. The scattered gods sat back on the chairs that represented their respective statuses.
"There is no doubt that we pushed naive young people into the pit of fire." The only man touched his chin.
"Hahaha, believe the forest ranger! At least he is the strongest person in Lakon'ao and Bantu!" Mother Koum said optimistic words while saying pessimistic words.
"Queen Mother, are you reluctant to part with the golden stool? After all, it is the treasure of the kingdom." The third woman said keenly.
"No, just recalling the past life." Queen Qialuo's three eyes looked at the three people respectively, and two eyes looked at the sky. "The temperament of the forest ranger seems a bit familiar..." (End of this chapter)
