Chapter 859 Gom Thorn Test!
After breakfast, Paul followed his father, mother and family ministers to the spacious square.
They stood quietly, looking up at the sky, waiting for the emperor's messenger to come.
Not long after, a huge spaceship gradually emerged from the clouds.
It was like a giant beast soaring in the sky, slowly approaching the ground. Finally, the spaceship landed steadily in the center of the square.
The hatch slowly opened, and the first to come out was a group of ceremonial guards holding the emperor's edict and wearing gorgeous costumes.
They walked out of the cabin solemnly and solemnly in a uniform pace.
Following closely behind was a navigator wearing a special space suit.
The interior of these space suits seemed to be covered with precious spices, and even the inside of the helmet was filled with the smoke of spices, but they could still easily identify the road.
This is the ability of navigators to predict the future. They can see what consequences they will bring to themselves after each step they take, and it is also the secret of their safe travel through the universe.
Finally, the emperor's messenger finally appeared.
He was thin and dignified, and his splendid clothes showed his noble status. Paul could not see the other person's facial features clearly because of his dark skin.
The messenger appeared with the Holy Mother of the Sisterhood, who was wearing a black robe and a veil on her head. Her face was covered by shadows, making it difficult to see her true expression.
Leto Atreides looked calmly at the group of people who were constantly walking towards him, with a slight smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Mentaita beside him and asked softly:
"How much does it cost for these people to come to this ceremony at such a great cost?"
Mentaita beside him had no expression on his face, but his eyes flashed quickly like lightning.
With his extremely powerful computing ability and accurate grasp of the price of space routes, he gave the answer almost instantly:
"Sanming Navigator, their round trip will cost about 1460060 space ropes."
Duke Leto's face suddenly showed a trace of displeasure. It was just a decree, but it was so extravagant. The emperor was too extravagant.
At this time, the emperor's envoy holding a golden scroll slowly walked out from behind the crowd.
He walked slowly along the gorgeous carpet, and the carpet made a slight rustling sound wherever he passed.
The emperor's envoy came to Leto and bowed slightly to perform a standard etiquette.
After the ceremony, the messenger stood up, cleared his throat, and began to read the emperor's will in a solemn and majestic voice:
"Thanks to the endless grace and gifts of the great emperor, Shaddam Corrino IV, the Padishah Emperor who ascended the supreme golden lion throne of the known universe, I stand before you as a pioneer of change.
We will be witnessed by members of the court, representatives of the Space Guild, and the Bene Gesserit prophetess. The emperor has ordered:
The Atreides family will immediately take over Arrakis and rule this place. Do you accept the order?"
"We are Atreides. We will never resist the order. We will never abandon our faith. The emperor asked us to bring peace to Arrakis. The Atreides family will not fail in the mission!"
Leto stepped forward and shouted in response, swearing to accept the order.
"Atreides~"
"Atreides~"
"Atreides~"
The surrounding Atreides family generals also shouted in response to the Duke's will.
Next, Duke Leto stepped forward and sealed the family crest with gold wax, completing the last step of the ceremony.
After taking the imperial edict with the seal, the emperor's messenger led his men away directly
……
……
That night, the entire Caladan seemed to be shrouded in a thick black curtain, with dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder.
The heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, washing the earth, making bursts of roaring sounds.
The rain hit the windows and roof violently, forming a noisy symphony.
In this noisy rainy night, Paul lay quietly in bed, listening to the fierce rain outside the window.
The raindrops splashed on the ground, interweaving with the whistling of the wind into a unique movement.
Gradually, this rhythmic sound was like a lullaby, leading Paul into a sweet dream.
At the same time, above the airport of the Atreides family, a bright light cut through the night sky.
A huge aircraft, like a giant beast from outer space, slowly landed on the apron.
As the hatch slowly opened, a group of mysterious figures filed out.
These people were dressed in long black robes, wrapped tightly from head to toe, and even their heads were covered by a thin veil, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with psychic light.
They walked hurriedly and in unison, quickly heading towards the family mansion.
At this moment, Mrs. Jessica, who was in the hall of the mansion, was pale and panicked.
She knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly, and she was tremblingly waiting for the arrival of the group of uninvited guests.
Her originally slender and delicate hands were now tightly twisted together, and her knuckles had turned white due to excessive force.
"Holy Mother Helen!"
Jessica lowered her head and saluted the Virgin Mary.
"Bring him here!"
There was no emotion in Helen's tone.
"Holy Mother, he is not yet an adult, and we are testing him now...!"
Jessica said with a troubled look on her face.
"Bring him to see me!"
The Virgin cannot be refused to emphasize.
Nympho
Nympho
Paul in his sleep suddenly felt that someone gently pushed his shoulders.
He opened his eyes in a slamming, and saw that his mother Jiecica looked at him in horror, and lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Child, wake up! Dream.
The wake -up Paul's eyes were full of confusion, but he still sat up and put on his own dress.
Paul followed her mother's rapid footsteps and passed through the long corridor, and finally came to the door of Jessica's room.
When I walked into the room, Paul saw the Lady of Helen who was sitting on the main position at a glance.
She has a tall posture, exuding a awesome atmosphere.
Although I can't see the face, I can feel her strength and cold from the majestic gas field.
After Jessica returned to the room, he whispered, "I brought him."
However, the Virgin Hyon did not respond to Jessica's words, but turned his head directly, staring sharply at Paul, and commanded in an unquestioned tone: "Go out!"
Facing this sudden customer order, Jessica seemed a little overwhelmed.
But she was still calm and turned to look at Paul. Her hands that she had nowhere to place because of her nervousness unconsciously wanted to hug and soothe him, but in the end, she did not touch him ...
In the end, Jessica just whispered this Paul: "You must do it according to the Lord of the Virgin ..."
After Jessica finished speaking, he left directly, closed the door of the room, isolate everything inside and outside,
"Did you drive my mother out of her room?"
Paul looked at the Virgin in front of her, but did not give her a good look.
"Come here ~~"
The Virgin's voice is not loud, but it is like a thunder in Paul's ears.
Suddenly, an irresistible force shrouded Paul. He only felt a sudden darkness in front of him, and the whole person lost consciousness instantly.
When Paul resumed awake again, he found that he didn't know when he was standing in front of the Virgin of Hemon.
Before he had time to make any response, another majestic order came: "Kneel!"
This order is like Taishan's compression of eggs, which contains majestic spiritual energy.
Although Paul tried his best to resist, his body did not listen at all, and he kneeling on his knees involuntarily.
Until this moment, Paul came back like a dream at the beginning of his dream. He looked up at Lady Hemon with a resentment, and asked the geology of his teeth and asked: "How dare you use the sound of words to me!"
However, for Paul's questioning, the Virgin Haron never even looked at it.
From beginning to end, she looked down on the grandson who accidentally came to the world because of her daughter's rebellion.
Immediately afterwards, the Virgin Hemon held a sharp Gum thorn and slowly pushed the tip of the needle to Paul's neck.
This is the sister who will assassinate the utensils, and the surface is coated with cyanide, which can make people die instantly.
At the same time, she ordered Paul into a bronze box with her right hand in a cold tone.
Although Paul was unwilling, he had to do it with Gum thorn on his neck.
But soon, he felt that he seemed to put his hands into the burning charcoal fire, and the hot flame burned his skin relentlessly.
In the blink of an eye, Paul felt his hand skin began to turn black and curled up quickly.
The original strong muscles gradually became crispy under high -temperature burning, and then peeled off one by one. In the end, only a piece of black bones were exposed.
The severe pain stimulated Paul's nerves, which made him unable to make a low scream,
However, although Paul was full of endless fear and struggle at this time, he did not dare to pull his hand out of that mysterious box.
There is no reason for him. As long as he has a slight motion, the poison needle close to his neck will instantly pierce his skin. The venom can flow through his whole body and take his life.
This is not a normal test, but a level that all men who have participated in breeding programs have not avoided the breeding plan.
Once failed, even if he lives fluke, it will become a piercing man like Earl Ronghasimir.
There is no way, a person with high purity spiritual blood veins has no firm will, and he must not be worthy of his descendants.
Only those who have the courage to face the unknown fear can have the opportunity to get the dawn of survival.
After all, as Kuishad Hudlack, the person who has the great mission, he wants to accept the memory of all the ancestors.
And these memories are not all beautiful and kind, and there are a large number of parts that are full of sin and evil.
If the heirs are afraid when facing these ancestors' memory, they will soon be rejected by the memories of the ancestors of those evil spirits and gradually control them by those memories.
At that time, this person will be completely transformed into a huge spiritual energy that knows the past and the future and has countless ancestors.
To make matters worse, if this existence still has huge power, it will undoubtedly be a devastating disaster for the entire world.
Therefore, every man involved in the breeding plan must learn to overcome fear, and you must not show the slightest timidity in front of the ancestors.
Fear is a mortal killer, and fear will bring destruction. When the fear comes, they must face the fear.
They must learn to let fear go with the wind, open their hearts and face the fear until it disappears completely.
Jessica outside the door listened anxiously to her son's screams from inside the house, her heart was broken, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, muttered something, and recited prayers devoutly, praying that God would have mercy on her poor child and let this terrible test pass quickly.
The long wait seemed to have no end, and every second seemed to be infinitely stretched, which made people suffer.
Finally, the creepy screams stopped, which meant that the Gom Thorn test was over.
The Virgin slowly retracted the cold-shining poison needle in her hand, and stared expressionlessly at Paul, who had just experienced the painful torture in front of her.
Although Paul's body was still trembling slightly at this moment, he still stood up again firmly.
He looked down at his intact right hand, and his heart, which had been hanging for a long time, was slightly relieved, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, his heart was still full of doubts and fears, and he had no idea what he had just suffered.
At this time, the powerful aura of Mother Helen seemed to be slightly softened because of Paul's outstanding performance.
She was rarely willing to answer questions for this ignorant boy: "Just like sifting gold from a pile of sand, we need to sift out the best from the crowd.
If you are like a beast, and you can't even restrain your impulse, then I will never allow you to continue to live in the world, because the power you are about to inherit is too great!"
Hearing this, Paul couldn't help but frown, and asked back with a puzzled face: "Why? Is it just because I am the son of the Duke?"
Obviously, Paul was still very proud of his noble birth and his identity as the heir of the Duke, and he didn't realize the deep meaning of the words of the Mother.
Facing Paul's complacency, the Virgin frowned and said bluntly: "Because you are Jessica's son, you are born with too many rights, child!"
Her tone clearly revealed her deep contempt for the so-called duke title.
In the eyes of the Virgin Helen, the so-called duke's power in front of Jessica, who was named the 88th generation breeding Virgin, was simply a joke and could not be compared with her own.
You know, the Virgin Helen is a thorough feminist. In her eyes, men are just pure biological gene providers, and there is no value at all.
