The tomb where Darius and Nema hid is located in a deserted mountain, and is located in a very hidden place.

After leaving the road, Xin Sheng and Nima walked through the forest for more than an hour before they arrived at their destination. A variegated horse was leisurely grazing in front of the gate of the tomb. It should be Darius's mount, the previous horse king Bahram.

"Ye!"

Seeing this horse with a bad-looking fur, Pegas suddenly let out a wary cry, and the four hooves nailed to the horse's socks made crisp footsteps on the marble floor.

The variegated horse turned his head to look at the restless Pegas.

Perhaps it was because it had been domesticated for many years that it had lost its wildness as a horse king, or perhaps it was because it was older, it ignored Pegas's alert and continued to calmly bow its head and eat grass.

"Well~ quiet."

Under Xin Sheng's comfort, Pegas gradually calmed down.

Judging from Pegas' expression, it seems that it still remembers this horse king who left the tribe a few years ago.

"Don't worry, Bahram is very steady and will not take the initiative to provoke a fight."

Nima tied Mithra's reins to the tree beside him. Mithra, who had been running a lot, immediately lowered her head and drank water in the prepared bucket.

The alert Dahuang walked back and forth carefully in front of the tomb gate, as if she had discovered something was wrong.

Nima's eyes showed a look of praise: "Your hound is very good, you can actually discover the trap set by your father."

"Follow me closely, don't make mistakes. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Xin Sheng warned Pegas, who was still eager to try it out, and confirmed that this guy would not make trouble before continuing to follow Nima to the tomb.

It was not beyond Xin Sheng's expectation that Darius would set up traps outside the tomb.

They are now fleeing and may be found by the ancient order maintainers and the Order God Cult at any time. Necessary precautions are indispensable.

As a hunter who is good at setting traps, Xin Sheng was quite frightened when advancing in this tomb.

‘There are traps everywhere…’

After carefully advancing in the tomb for about 5 minutes, Xin Sheng finally saw a room with a flash of fire.

Nema did not enter the room immediately, but stood about five steps away from the door and shouted loudly: "Father, it's me! Nema is back!"

"Clang!"

A faint metal friction sounded, and a somewhat old and calm male voice came from the room.

"Nima, how was the mission done, and, who was the person you brought?"

In the quiet passage of the tomb, the footsteps of the two people were very obvious, and Xin Sheng was not surprised that the other party could hear the movement.

Nima took the lead to approaching the room, and opened her arms and hugged a white-bearded old man in a hood.

"Father, I'll introduce it."

Nima waved to Xin Sheng to approach: "This is a travel hunter from the ancient country of the East, Xin Sheng."

"He, like us, intends to destroy the control of the Church of Order over Greece."

"Far East?"

Darius was once a senior executive of the Persian Empire and had much more knowledge than his daughter Nimaguang.

Xin Sheng's appearance was different from the Greeks, so his eyes were staying under his hood for a moment.

"You come from the birthplace of silk?"

Persia, rooted in the Mesopotamian River Basin, also has a long history.

Although there was a period of time between Sumer, Assyrian and Babylonian civilizations that lived here in the early days, the Persians have always regarded themselves as ancient civilizations.

The Silk Road has not yet emerged in this era, but the exchange routes of Eastern and Western civilizations have actually been opened, but the exchanges are not very close.

At first, this trade route was not for exporting silk, but for importing Hetian jade from the Western Regions. The best-selling silk was also an unexpected surprise for the various vassal states in China at that time.

Darius once met merchants from the Silk Kingdom with similar appearance characteristics to Xin Sheng in Susa, one of the capitals of the Persian Empire.

Yes, one of the capitals.

The Persian Empire in the Xerxes era was very strange, with a total of four capitals, namely Suza, Ekbatana, Babylon and Pasépolis.

Xerxes I wasted a lot of manpower and material resources to build four capital cities. He and his court ministers took turns to rule one of the capitals all year round, which was extremely luxurious.

This is also one of the reasons why Darius decided to assassinate Xerxes I.

Darius has always firmly believed that his assassination of Xerxes I, who was controlled by the ancient Order of the Order of the Order of the Emperor was for his own country and preventing the king of the Persian Empire from becoming a puppet of the Order of the Order of the Order of the Order of the Order of the People.

Xin Sheng was quite surprised that Darius knew about the country of Silk, and he did not expect that the Persians in this era called China.

"Yes, I come from Qin, one of the extreme eastern vassal states. I am very happy to know you, Mr. Darius of the Persian Empire."

"Is the Persian Empire...hehe~"

Darius smiled self-deprecatingly: "We, who are not Greeks, actually happened to meet in this foreign country. This may be a kind of fate."

Darius slowly took off his hood, revealing an old and weathered face.

"Since Nema is willing to take you to our secret refuge, it means she has initially confirmed your position."

"No matter what, sit down and talk about it in detail."

Darius reached out and signaled Xin Sheng to find a place to sit down: "You can explain clearly what we can get from our cooperation with you, and what do you hope to get from us?"

Although Darius said it more bluntly, it was such an exchange of interests among allies.

Relying solely on the emotional card is impossible to maintain friendly relations for a long time, and visible benefits are the most realistic.

Darius and Nema are at the lowest point in their lives. The former Persian nobles can only hide in their tombs and take refuge. They must not want to live such a frightened life.

Xin Sheng sorted out his thoughts: "Nima did not tell me your detailed experience, but based on her words, I can probably tell that you should have angered the extreme order forces of the Persian Empire, right?"

"That's right."

Since Xin Sheng has entered this secret refuge, Darius does not intend to conceal him too much. When discussing cooperation, both parties need to express their sincerity.

"Just like the Greek Order Gods' Church, the Persian Empire also had its own extreme order forces, and their origins were much earlier than the Order Gods' Church."

"The ancient orderists who originated in Egypt were the dictators who were entrenched in the dark clouds above the Persian Empire and pursued an extreme order society."

The predecessor of the Church of Order was the Hermetic and was founded by the philosopher Pythagoras.

Initially, the purpose of Hermesians was to explore the mysteries of the world and to explore the legacy and knowledge left by ancient civilizations.

Some members of Pythagoras's Winton style split from the organization and formed a new organization on their own - the Order God Cult.

The history of the ancient order defenders has been relatively long. Both sides, who are both orderly forces, had contact during the Hippo War, and thus began to conspire and cooperate with each other in a similar way.

From Darius's perspective, he certainly wanted to completely eliminate the ancient order masters in the Persian Empire.

But calming down and considering rationally, Darius had to admit in frustration that it was almost impossible.

At least, it is impossible in the contemporary era where the prefaces of the ancient times are at its peak.

So, Darius began to train his daughter to inherit her mantle, allowing her to pass on the concept and will of resisting extreme order forces from generation to generation.

He hopes that his descendants will one day return to the original source of Persia and completely defeat the ancient rulers who secretly control the Persian Empire.

However, the ancient preceptor did not let Darius, who assassinated the puppet emperor Xerxes I.

Artaxerxes I, the son of Xerxes I, was not as obedient to the preceptors as his father, and even wanted to contact various channels to suppress the development of the ancient preceptors' power.

In order to avoid the merger between Darius and Artaxerxes I, a larger-scale orderly resistance force was formed.

While supporting Artaxerxes I's confrontational regime in Persia, the ancient preceptors stepped up their pursuit of Darius's father and daughter.

While listening to Darius' explanation, Xin Sheng gradually straightened out all the clues, and he also roughly understood Darius's demands.

Darius, who has experienced vicissitudes of life, has a simple purpose now. He is to pass on his concept of not surrendering to the orderly ruler and pursuing free thoughts, and he cannot completely eliminate the fire of resistance by extremist forces headed by the orderly ruler.

‘I am surely the ancestor of Amonet, the founder of the Invisible, and Darius, who was revered as a great pioneer by later assassins.’
