Chapter 1389

Concave-Convex World.

「Woman… woman? Is Caesar a woman? 」

Although his appearance is still unclear, that voice is undoubtedly a woman's, which made Lei De involuntarily tap his own head, momentarily wondering if something was wrong.

Moreover, from the sound of it… he seems not very old?

As a ruler in the history of Weng Fulosi, isn't he supposed to be a man with a big beard and arms thicker than his neck?

Thinking this, Lei De instinctively poked Monteszuma with his elbow.

「Hey, Zumar! Did you hear that? Caesar is a woman! 」 Lei De exclaimed excitedly, 「You aren't the one who usually likes to follow Lord Jiaduolus to study 'the King's Exemplar', are you? Now there's a girl queen just like you! 」

「…You talk too much, don't disturb my writing. 」

「Zumar, what are you writing? 」

「I'm recording Caesar's speech just now in front of the people. 」 Zumar, one hand holding a small notebook, the other hand gripping the pen already turned into a blur on the page, 「When someday I return to the royal family, her speech might come in handy, 'To win glory, win peace'…… Hmm, what's the next line again? 」

Lei De proudly swayed his body: "It's 'Let future generations forever remember your great deeds'!" Zumar, Zumar, you can see I remember it clearly, right? I can help you record every word Caesar said like a projector~

「Alright, I want details. 」 Zumar slightly lowered his head, the eyes hidden by the headscarf rarely showing a hint of curiosity and longing, 「Caesar… actually is also a woman like me? And judging by the voice, she sounds quite young—could a girl also become the ruler of Aohema? What has she gone through before……」

——

「In the epic, this battle is called the 'First Siege of Aohema'. It is said that after the war, people discovered in the city that every place burned by fire displayed the same inscription. 」

「That is a name. It belongs to Aohema's first and also last tyrant: 'Caesar' Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela. 」

「…」

「「…Star, are you listening? 」」

「In the darkness came Xilian's voice, accompanied by a gentle push of the body, 「Star… Star? 」」

「「…Honestly. You said you wanted to review history once, yet you fell asleep yourself? 」 Xilian increased the shaking force in his hand, 「Hurry up and wake up, if you don't get up, I can only…」」

「As soon as Star opened his eyes, he saw Xilian with a drooping little face, eyes unblinking, staring at himself. 」

「「…You're awake now, so I won't use the waking magic on you. 」」

「Star rubbed his swollen forehead and stubbornly said, 「I was just resting my eyes. 」」

「「Alright~ I'll go with your~ 'resting my eyes'. 」 Xilian looked around; nearby were buildings quite familiar to Star… of course not that familiar, the stone pillars that in memory had collapsed and were as ancient as historical relics now stood intact before her eyes. 」

「「We've arrived at the destination. Familiar place, the Hall of Three Fates of Destiny. If nothing unexpected, it should be shortly after Talandon's fall……」 Xilian gazed at the main gate of the hall before him, 「At the same time, it's also the epilogue of the first Fire Pursuit Journey. 」」

「「Epilogue? Did we arrive late? 」」

「「Don't worry, the timing is just right. The first Fire Pursuit ends with the trial of 'Law'; we need to find a demigod before the fire seed is returned and gain their trust. 」 Xilian lowered his head, 「The task is somewhat arduous; we need to hurry. First, let's figure out how to get to Aohema. There people come and go, making it easy to gather information…」」

「In that case, as a ruler, Caesar should be more suited to lead the Fire Pursuit Journey than Aglaea, right? 」

Ishikawa felt it very strange; if Aohema had always had a decisive ruler determining the direction of the Fire Pursuit Journey for a thousand years, then in the future there would be nothing for Kaines and those senators to do.

With a steadfast ruler leading the Fire Pursuit Journey, Aglaea could also save a lot of energy spent sparring with the Senate.

「「It's obvious, Ishikawa, Aohema's political system has also undergone a bloody transformation. 」 Silver Gyokkou put down his pen, lifted his head from a pile of documents, 「At that time, the Aohema city-state was probably in a stage similar to a monarchic era; the Senate and the People's Assembly had already formed. As for Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela…… her power should have been constrained by the Senate, but perhaps she herself wielded great influence in the military, so she intended to shift from aristocratic republic directly to military dictatorship. 」」

Ishikawa recalled Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela's earlier enviable eloquence in speech, feeling that if she successfully became a demigod, she could team up with Aglaea and the others for life as golden heirs, becoming a shared destiny community for the Fire Pursuit.

With Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela's prestige, simply standing on high ground and calling out would leave no room for those who oppose the Fire Pursuit.

「「But looking at the results, Caesar's era was more like a fleeting bloom. When Star and Danheng arrived in Aohema, there was hardly any record of Caesar's history, not even her name mentioned. In contrast, her subordinate, the female general Heseyin, left a deep impression on Safair…」」

——

「「Before Xilian's words had even finished, a heated argument suddenly came from the hall beside him. 」」

「「Tyrant! Take your executioner and get out, we don't welcome you here! 」」

「「Shut up! You collude with the dagger-axe, plotting rebellion, your crime deserves death——」」

「「Star and Xilian quickly exchanged a glance. 」」

「「What's the commotion, someone arguing? 」」

「「There's more than one person. The atmosphere is also very tense; if we get dragged in, it'll be troublesome…… Star, let's first find a hidden corner, hide and observe the situation? 」」

「「Star nodded, bringing Xilian along as they sneaked into the inner hall, only to see a group of people surrounding an old man with white hair in the center below. 」」

「「Huh? That isn't……」」

「「Looking down from the railing, only Heseyin and Tibao could be seen standing behind a few soldiers holding long swords, Tibao's face full of worry, obviously she did not want the situation to push toward bloodshed. 」」

「「Heseyin's gaze was cold, tilting her head to stare at the old man before her and the monster behind him. 」」

「「You lot with golden blood, villains, twisting the divine oracle, attempting to slay the gods……」 The old man trembled with anger, pointing at the crowd before him and shouting loudly, 「What heavenly stars, the gods who created the Titans… look at this world, what have your atrocities turned it into! 」」

「「Xilian was momentarily dazed, looking up at Star: 「What? Did he… mention the extraterrestrial stars? 」」」

「「This… this how could it be possible…」」
