People are standing in orderly ranks. The yard is lit by the fire. The shadow of a date palm is reflected on the mud wall. To Lin Luoran and Yang Lisha's surprise, they are not slaves of the Agebels. The bearded Babylonian man they saw in the afternoon is hiding in the crowd and pointing disdainfully to them. Those people clearly are soldiers because they are holding spear-like weapons and shields.
Are they soldiers of the Neo-Babylonian Empire? Maybe they are patrolling the city wearing short leather armors that look like skirts. If they weren't coming to catch them, Lin Luoran would be very interested in these soldiers who live more than two thousand years ago.
"You know how to get out, right?" Although Lin Luoran loses her Reiki, she can still do Tai Chi. It's not difficult to run away from a team of poorly armed Babylonian soldiers.
Yang Lisha nods, "Don't kill them. I can feel that there are powerful cultivators in this city!"
“How did I fall asleep?” Lin Luoran touches the cold stone bed and sits up immediately. She is in a palace decorated with a lot of gold foil. It is as bright as daytime inside. The Babylonian architectural features make Lin Luoran realizes that she is in the palace and does not wake up after passing the test of the Tower of Babel and get back to the twenty-first century. However, she clearly remembers that she sneaked into a group of maids and went somewhere similar to the side hall of a palace. Why does she sleep on a bed here? Most of the ordinary people in Babylon wear linen clothes while what is put on the stone bed is authentic silk. “What did the textbook say when I was in school?” Lin Luoran thinks. Didn't the Silk Road arise in the Western Han Dynasty? Why are there silk sheets here? Lin Luoran is resentful, but she then feels that she is too childish and hilarious. The original history of this world shatters little by little afte
Amytis was Nebuchadnezzar II's wife who came from mountain areas of Media. Nebuchadnezzar II built the Hanging Gardens because Amytis missed the scenery in the mountains of her hometown. The Hanging Gardens puzzles many historians and no one knows whether it really existed. If Lin Luoran didn't return to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, she would probably be moved by such stories written in historical documents. However, she never forgets the Median princess is also a cultivator of Huaxia although the princess in front of her blushed when she mentioned Nebuchadnezzar II. The surname of the woman in Shenyi is Ji. Amytis doesn’t know the meaning of it, but Lin Luoran who comes from Huaxia cannot ignore it. In this era, the Zhou Dynasty is about to fall. The Spring and Autumn period has begun, but the royal family of Zhou is still the rightful ruler. Every one from Huaxia is familiar with names such as Ji Chang and Ji Fa. Their stories are written in The Legend
Marduk is the god of Babylon. The Babylonians believe the king’s power is granted by Marduk, and the monks are the god’s servants. People in Babylon must get protected by the god, so they try to please him as hard as they can, hoping to obtain his grace to protect their city and country.The Temple, as a place where Marduk comes down to stop temporarily, is a sacred place that only the king and monks are allowed to have access to it. Only on special days can the king go into the temple with his wife—in this case—Amytis, the princess of Medes to get Marduk’s blessings.The ritual is long. Lin Luoran has nothing to do, but to pretend to be faithful, and wait outside the Temple like others.Besides the Temple stands a stone tower. It is about fifteen or sixteen meters tall, only a head taller than the towering and solid inner city wall. It is not conspicuous, and even looks a little shabby compared with the majestic Temple.All the co
“My priest, this is just part of the stars above us. Is there any problem calling it the star atlas?” Lin Luoran blinks her eyes, pretending to be innocent.The priest stares at her with his experienced eyes. Lin Luoran knows it comes to the vital point, so she just stares back at his wrinkled eyes innocently. This is a battle of stamina and calmness, and she cannot afford to reveal the secret of the jade stairs, nor the fact that she is a woman coming from the future. So, the only solution is to keep pretending.Huaxia people’s facial organs are flatter than the Babylonians and Lin Luoran looks like in her twenties with low personal ability. The priest stares for a long time and chooses to believe her words. It is not because of Lin Luoran’s behavior is so excellent that he is fooled, but deep in his heart he doesn’t believe an eastern girl like her with low personal ability have any connection with the abstract star atlas.However, Lin Luoran
Where do I come from?The fake saintess doesn’t know how to respond. Time flies and she has a quiet, wonderful time. She stays on Earth for a long time, even longer than the time she has spent on her mother planet. It’s normal she cannot think of the name of her mother planet in a minute.“Open the Tower of Babel, priest. I don’t have time to play with you.”Lin Luoran is smiling though there are still tears on her face. This expression stings the fake saintess and she grabs Lin Luoran from the floor.She gnashes her teeth and whispers beside Lin Luoran, “No matter what planet you belong to, what is the point if your host is too feeble?” Of course, she uses the standard interstellar language so that other people cannot understand.The “saintess”, or the “honored oracle” with whom others acquaint, is always cold and elegant. She has never been so hysterical before, so people may wonder what Lin Luoran says to her to mak
The crystal ball emits an appealing light. Before Lin Luoran feels happy, she sees how capable the priest is.His hands are full of blue veins. With a slight move, a star on the dome shines unnaturally and the cold light of it fills in the room. The temperature drops dozens of degrees. It is at noon in Babylon, and shall not be cold like that. The vapor evaporates from Lin Luoran begins to freeze on the skin.She is not the only one that begins to freeze. Everyone except the priest begins to freeze.On normal occasions, everyone can easily get off that thin ice, even though Lin Luoran herself can escape from that without using any spell. However, now she acts as if she gets hit by the root spell. The only thing she can move is her eye, so she can do nothing now.A small link connects between the star and the crystal ball. By a few glances, Lin Luoran recognizes the star is the moon. Thinking about the coldness in the room, she find
"Master Mu, hurry up and hit them on the west!" Master Guo lies prostrate on dunes. His mouth is full of sand. There are some foreigners in robes. Every time they wave the sticks in their hands, a fireball or an ice bomb falls. They don't seem to belong to the Vatican. “Where the hell are we?”, Master Guo thinks. Master Mu has already made the gesture of spells with his right hand, "Don't rush. Wait for a while." Their enemies are powerful and in great amounts. The Wakan of Master Guo and Master Mu is not boundless. Master Guo fights randomly. He feels pretty good, but there is no rule at all. When their Wakan is used up, they will soon be captured by the foreigners. What is going on here? Is it their illusion? The scene is too realistic. Master Guo and Master Mu have been here for a few days and just gone through a large forest of "monsters". They are so unlucky to be ambushed after all that happened. Howeve
Miracles falling into the earthly world doesn't affect the wedding of Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Babylon at all. Instead, the miracles give an incomparable blessing to the noblest bride and groom in the empire. Inside the Tower of Babel in the inner city, cultivators are on the edge of a fight. Outside the high walls, people of Babylon are worshipping on their knees. Their devotion to the Marduk Temple turns into support for the king and his new wife. The blue iris flower in the corner of Amytis's eye looks charming in the sun, but it is less touching than her smile. The princess from the mountainous country of Media is approved by the people of Babylon because the miracles fell. Amytis is still a teenage girl. She never thought of something like this could happen. She thought that she needed to work hard to get the people's approval, but God gave her a favor. Amytis and Nebuchadnezzar II stand side by side on the splendid and majesti
