Screams of fear rang out in the meeting hall. Joktan's head rolled a few times on the ground and stopped in front of the King of Ninawa. He immediately fainted. The others curled up at the side and did not dare to speak. They were all frightened.
Fennec! Was this the end? Ning Lu's serious tone was filled with reproach." What did I just say? Everyone involved must pay the price! Every one of them! Don't you understand?』
The son of the castellan of Lixian City was stunned. He looked at the furious Ning Lu in confusion, then at his trembling father who was standing beside the castellan of Lixian City, Enmakar. It was as if he was not listening to the king at all. So Fennec asked,"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." I don't quite understand your…"
"Everyone! Ning Lu pointed at the letter and shouted.
" I don't know who else…" Before Fennec could finish, a slap landed on his face. Fennec was completely stunned. After a while, he suddenly understood something. He looked up at King Ning Lu's face and said in horror, Princess Ninthar?』
"Bring her here first. Ning Lu said coldly. Then he ordered the cabinet officials," Today, all the citizens of Barbilim will stop production for a day. Tell everyone to gather at the square of the Central Avenue. I have something important to announce.
Fennec was still standing there. Ning Lu glared at him. What are you still doing here? So Fennec went out. This time, it didn't take long before he brought Princess Ningsar in.
'Daddy? What happened? Why did you call me here? The princess was sleepy because she had just been woken up from her sleep.
Ning Lu didn't say anything. He just pointed at the letter. The princess went forward to read it and then cried out in horror,"This is impossible! This letter was fake! Dad, who gave you this letter? This was a forgery! Jotan would not say such things! As Princess Ninsar spoke, she saw the bloody head on the ground and covered her mouth with a scream that sent chills down one's spine.
"Not just this one! This is all from your closet! King Ning Lu lost his usual gentleness in front of his daughter and roared," Suppress this beast to the square!』
Fennec didn't carry out the order at first, but when he remembered that his father was still in Ning Lu's hands, he had no choice but to leave with the princess. The others followed, and a few soldiers carried Joktan's head.
'Daddy! 'Father...' Princess Ninthar cried and called out to her father. But Ning Lu ignored him.
After everyone left, Great Mage Enzac walked up to Ning Lu and whispered,"" Your Majesty, is it necessary to go to such an extent? Ning Lu rolled his eyes at him and continued walking. Enzac was getting impatient." At first, I thought you only wanted to punish that arrogant young man, Joktan. That's why I forged these letters and notes for you. I even helped you put them where the princess usually hid her letters. Alright, now that I know that you're doing this for the sake of power struggle, I can understand, but isn't it too much to involve framing the princess..."
Before Enzac could finish speaking, Ning Lu drew his sword and stabbed it into his heart. When he died, Ning Lu called for someone to collect his body and told them that the princess's magic teacher, Enzac, had just tried to attack him. He was probably involved in Jotan's coup. With that, he strode towards the square in the city center. At this time, the people in the city put down their work and came here to listen to their king's speech. Ning Lu whispered a few words to the soldiers behind him and then walked forward.
At the top of the stone steps, King Ninsar took Princess Ninsar, who was still crying, from Fennek's hands and grabbed her hair. He stepped forward and kicked the princess's back, forcing her to kneel in front of all the people in the city. Then he said to the crowd,"This morning, we found out that she colluded with the Prince of Ninawa to assassinate me and seize the throne. The strategists who opened the letter with me and the kings of the countries present witnessed it with their own eyes!" As he spoke, he signaled the soldiers behind him to throw the head in front of them. The people in the square immediately let out sighs and whispered conversations.
"The law is not noble. Even if she committed a serious crime, she must be punished with the common people! Ning Lu took out a dagger and quickly slit Ninsar's throat. The commoners, officials, and nobles were all terrified. Seeing this, the King's Guard Fennec drew his sword and swung it at Ning Lu. Unexpectedly, he was hacked to death by a few soldiers who had been waiting for him to make a move.
Blood splattered all over the stone steps in front of them. However, no one dared to say or move at this moment. Everyone was enveloped by this extreme fear.
When the princess was completely dead, King Ning Lu of Sinadi said to the crowd,"" I have unified all the countries on this land, allowing everyone to live a rich, happy, and stable life! All of these achievements are due to me, and I believe that you won't have any doubts. Do not attribute your happiness to Eya and Damganunna! And it's all thanks to me! It was the courage of me and all of you that made all of this happen! From today on, you seven countries and the people of this city will build a pyramid in Barbilim. The top of the pyramid will reach the sky to commemorate me and my achievements! When the tower is built, the gods of the earth will know that we do not need them! Then they will scram out of our land!』
As a result, countless men and women in the eight countries were forced to make bricks. Out of fear, they did not dare to disobey orders. They were driven to the city center to work under whips. Even pregnant women had to participate in the construction of the tower. Even when she was about to give birth, she was not allowed to leave. Therefore, when the child was born while she was making bricks, she could only put the child in her apron and carry it on her back before continuing to make bricks.
Soon, the kings, elders, nobles, farmers, shepherds, fishermen, and people from all walks of life began to secretly flee their countries and spread out. Fifteen descendants of the land of Japheth, thirty descendants of the land of Ham, and twenty-seven descendants of Shem who had been brought to this land from other planets were collectively called the descendants of Shem because they could not trace their ancestral land. They moved away from Sinna one after another and scattered to various places. Over time, they forgot their mother tongue and each had a new language. The Gomes of the land of Japheth became Simerians and went to the far north. The Madai, the ancestors of the Medes, had gone to Mount Taihe. The Yawan went to the sea to the west, the Tuba, the ancestors of the Luwei, went to the northern highlands, and the Meshe, the ancestors of the Phrygian, went with them. The Tiras went to Thrace.
The Hafnid had gone to Nubian; The Maxi went to Camet, the Fu went to the desert west of Camet, and the Fu went to the desert west of Camet. The Canaanites headed to Canaan.
The primitive races had stopped people from going to Elam. The Lutherans went to Lydia, but only the Assyrians, Arameans, and Arpachshad remained. As for Joktan's brother Peleg and his brother's many illegitimate children, most of them either went south or stayed in Sinnath.
By the time the tower was four hundred and sixty-three cubits high, work had stopped because the people of Cinna had dispersed. The cities were now abandoned, and in the palace, even the male and female servants who were usually responsible for cleaning and tidying up had left. When Ning Lu was the only one left in the huge palace, he finally began to cry for his daughter's death.
That day had arrived. In the evening, he came to the half-built tower and looked toward the northern plateau, waiting for the predicted eruption of Lake Nemrut. A gust of cold wind blew from the top of the tower, drying the tears on Ning Lu's face. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief and relaxation. At this moment, the empty city was only accompanied by the stars in the sky. However, as time passed, he began to feel anxious. It was not until dawn rose from the east that he realized that he was still alive when he was woken up by the chirping of birds. Nothing had happened that night, and everything was calm.
