章 1493: Magic Soldier (Part 2)

The goddess took Saleen on a detour around a vast compound, heading straight for the Hall of Gods.

Saleen then asked cautiously, "Are you the one who designed the Hall of Gods?"

"No. His majesty was the one who designed it," she said. Despite the First Dynasty being gone for tens of thousands of years, the goddess addressed him as 'his majesty' nonetheless. He had been the one and only mage in the entire empire who was more powerful than her in every way.

Saleen did not ask any further. He followed the goddess to the back of the Hall of Gods. She pushed opened a secret door and entered.

Seeing Saleen's puzzled look, she then explained, "His majesty left a backdoor as well, back then..."

"I get it." Saleen made it clear that he understood. The goddess might have been very, very close with the emperor all those years ago.
