Chapter 2266
Wisdom and Hope
...
There was a familiar knock on the door, but no response came. However, Atratome was no longer surprised.
He opened the door skillfully, walked in, looked at the familiar layout around him, and shook his head quietly.
Since the last communication, this house in Taixifeng has been registered under his name.
However, out of respect for Ishtar, the goddess of victory, Atratome would treat her with respect and maintain due respect every time she came to this house.
However, compared to the expectations in his heart, everything that was shown in reality made Atlatomei feel what reality is.
There was no sound as before, nor were there any magical objects left behind as before, as if those things had never appeared.
If it weren't for the spear in his hand and the armor on his body, which truly showed all of this, he might have really had such thoughts.
The route of righteous words and the occasional flash of words suggested one route after another, telling him that this matter was not that simple.
"Gods are gods after all. To be able to achieve this level must have cost a huge price. It turns out that we cannot rely too much on gods for such things..." Atratome shook his head and looked at the statue in the middle of the room again. It was so perfect and dazzling.
This statue is different from other victory goddesses Ishtar, and also different from the general public's impression of Ishtar.
In this statue of the goddess, one cannot see the beauty and richness displayed in ordinary statues of Ishtar.
Ordinary people can see more things from this goddess, more things that belong to the battlefield, things that do not carry other divine duties.
Whether it is the sword or shield in the goddess's hands, the wings behind her and the crystal clear eyes, they all indicate that this goddess statue is not pure Ishtar.
In fact, in Atratome's heart, he had his own unique insights and understanding of the myth that was circulated in the Parthian Empire.
According to the content of the myth, the god who ultimately saves the country must be a powerful and majestic goddess.
Among all the gods, apart from the God of Creation, the only god who has strong power and is responsible for this aspect is the goddess of victory Ishtar.
However, Ishtar has always existed, and the result they faced was not prosperity, but gradual extinction. This is inconsistent with the content of the myth and the legend.
If myths are false, then these rumors are naturally false as well, which is not a big deal.
However, Atratome, who understood these powers and mysterious forces, naturally knew the power behind the seven nobles, and also knew that there was another side to this world: gods existed and possessed corresponding powers.
In this case, myths and legends naturally have their possibilities.
And the results that can be produced by combining these things together, and the results that can be obtained by making a reasonable inference.
It was the goddess statue that Atratome was looking at at that moment. "Ishtar, the goddess of victory, the goddess in the legend, the goddess who saved the country from danger, could it really be you?" Atratome glanced at the goddess statue, and murmured with doubt and confusion.
In addition to the existing gods in this world, there are also newly born gods.
If it is really possible to save this country and the future of this nation, what are the chances that it is a god who once existed?
Compared to this, are the possibilities of gods who have not yet appeared more likely?
For example, wisdom and hope, the priesthoods that these people have not appeared, are they more likely to be?
With reverence for the gods, Atratome slowly walked into the house.
At the same time, the Pamir region underwent completely different changes, whether for Li Jue and others or for Kabechi and others.
The passage of time will bring completely different kinds of complexity. For Li Jue, in addition to the normal training time every day, he begins to imagine the guys who can become his opponents, and prepares for them.
Especially after he learned that the Yuan family had left, Li Jue had more and more such thoughts.
The reason was very simple. He believed that his military advisor would never put them here for no reason.
If the purpose was just to find a place for them to settle down, why would they choose such a place?
What kind of people are their military advisors? How could they ignore their existence?
They need to be adequately prepared before the military advisor needs them, and after waiting for the order to be issued, they should be able to live up to the advisor's trust and perfectly execute the corresponding order.
But for Kabechi and others, the chain reaction brought about by more and more people passing through and leaving the Pamir region is completely different.
Especially since the direction these people are heading is not towards the Padya Empire, the meaning is really different.
"Strange, how long have we been here? And so many people have left here? Could it be that the silk trade is becoming prosperous again?" Cabecchi, who obviously knew about the silk trade in the first half of the year, scratched his head and looked at these people heading northwest, expressing his inner doubts.
They have always wanted to go to Chang'an and stay in Chang'an, so Kabechi could not understand what kind of ideas and concepts these people had when they left the Central Plains and went to such a remote place, into a no-man's land, into an area without the rule of the Princess of the Han Empire.
"Let's not talk about whether the silk trade is prosperous. Even if the silk trade really starts again, it will not go in that direction..." Jia Kui obviously knew more about this, so he just gave a simple explanation without giving too much explanation, even though the person in front of him was Cabecchi.
In Jia Kui's view, a person whose entire head and body are filled with desires for a princess of the Han Empire.
However, as Jia Kui was explaining and telling the story, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes as he looked in that direction.
The large number of people leaving, in addition to expanding territory, actually has another meaning.
That is the dispersion of power within the Han Empire itself. Regardless of whether this power is autonomous or passive, it means that it will be extremely difficult for the future Han Empire to be like it is now, where a single word is spoken and the whole world obeys, and a single edict is received and no one dares to disobey.
After all, the emperor is far away and the sky is high. This is never a joke.
"I see..." Confused, Kabechi nodded on the spot... (End of this chapter)
