Today is destined to be a big day for those who live at the foot of the mountain. Because there are men of God, not one or two, but hundreds and thousands. In fact, it is not uncommon for them to meet one or two gods by chance, and the lucky ones will be called to the front to ask a few words, and the luckier ones will be rewarded for this, but this is the first time like today.

First, a little ink appeared on the snow-covered peaks, and then the ink began to flow and extend, gradually turning into a long snake and winding down the mountain. It was also it that made the silver snake that appeared later a little dazzling. The silver snake came in a hurry and gradually chased after it, but when it overtook it, the head of the snake paused for a moment, so that the whole team was in confusion.

As a glow suddenly lit up, chaos came and went as fast as it came. But the matter did not subside, the speed of the two long snakes dropped suddenly, and there was no longer the feeling of flowing clouds before, and there was a little more solemnity out of thin air. The route has also changed considerably, and it is no longer as winding as before.

Ryo regretted leaving the team a little, and even more regretted some of the previous arrangements. If you are still in the lead, you will definitely not try to surpass each other. If the leader of the team is a group of old people, he will definitely not be so impulsive.

Alas-

Over the years, although it has not expanded as much as the sacrifice, it has still absorbed a group of young people. What seems to the gatekeeper is a difficult thing to look back on, but it has a great attraction for many young people. Compared with the older generation, this group of stupid children doesn't know what blood is, and they don't know what cruelty is, even if they are attracted by blood and cruelty.

No one wants their children to be involved with the gatekeeper, not even the gatekeeper himself. Some things, some positions, it is enough to have them.

God is merciful, at least in this respect. After dominating the world, or after unifying their hometown, the treatment of their slaves has also risen, and those eye-popping fat shortages have not hesitated to let go of them. Even after the test of the rest of his life, he was a little nervous when facing this.

So they have a very wide range of options, and there are many ways to show their piety. In fact, the sacrifice is a very good choice, is there a more suitable person to become a sacrifice than being born in Winged City?

The answer is yes, no!

So, why be a gatekeeper?

Many times, many things, even the gods ignore the presence of gatekeepers. The ranks of the priests continued to grow, and so did the ranks of knights and warriors guarding the sacrifices, but the gatekeepers remained the same. For that, they are very grateful.

People are always selfish, and the gods are resigned to this. Those knights and warriors are just the product of the transitional period, what could be more convenient than to keep the children around and teach?

Even the gods will fight on the battlefield, so why should these godly servants need protection? It's just an excuse to keep the people closest to you.

It won't be long before these young men will shed their armor and change into cloth robes, and they will be transformed into rudimentary sacrifices. Of course, ceremonies are a must, and important people from all parties will also attend. The oath of one question and one answer is very solemn and very solemn. It's just that there's too much warmth in it that makes it all seem more like a big coming-of-age ceremony.

What should come will come eventually, and there are children who suddenly change their words in the process of taking the oath.

"Would you like to be a priest?"

"No, I want to be a gatekeeper......"

When he heard this, even he couldn't sit still.

No!

He has the right to refuse, and very resolutely. It's a pity that children who haven't experienced wind and rain are more stubborn and resolute. Although it is very clear that the child will change his mind immediately as soon as he puts it on the fire and roasts it, it will also ruin the child......

Sometimes, things are just as helpless and funny as they are. Many of the children of the gatekeepers became sacrifices, and the children of the sacrifices became the gatekeepers.

The children of the gatekeepers will not provoke the Night Sacrifice, they have been exposed to another inheritance since childhood, and they are trying to survive in death. No one dares to guess the gods' minds, so always prepare for the worst. Thankfully, as the children grew older, the gods did not require them to accept this lineage.

Even if they didn't finally take over the inheritance, the children knew that although the Night Sacrifice had not experienced the most tragic battles, those trials were even more cruel. Think about it, how many of the Dark Night Believers ended up going to the Northland? Life and death, at least they could end up happy, but what about the choice? Moreover, there was still plenty of time to think and hesitate.

In those years, he threw his followers away in the dark night, and he didn't care. There is no reward for doing well, and there is no punishment for doing badly. and go wherever you want, and convert if you want to......

In fact, he is not sure what choice he will make, but he is very sure that he will not let his children provoke such a group of people.

Unfortunately, the priests apparently had a different answer. From their point of view, there were once so many Dark Night Believers who converted their faith, and in the end, only a handful remained. So, who is the victor? Even with the extraordinary reputation of the Night Rite, the answer is obvious.

"Look!

Those sacrifices, that bishop was once our men......"

Of course, the older generation will not despise the night sacrifice because of this, but just use it to elevate themselves. But what about the children who have heard such words?

He bowed slightly again, then got up and said to Nicole, "It's all the children of old acquaintances......

"Kid?"

Nicole nodded, and a long aria came out of her mouth, followed by the night rituals that marched forward in unison. The song sounded both familiar and strange to Ryo, and it took a moment for him to react - it was the original ode. At that time, the idol of the god of light and night had just stood in the city of Wings......

"I've been wondering, how can I be in awe?" Nicole sighed, "and there were some things that I didn't know until you mentioned these children.

Whether or not we believe in the light of the night rituals, our reverence for it never diminishes. There are some things that the gods are not allowed to forget, so we dare not forget. The hymns that have been sung are part of us, recorded in the canons of the night. Although we no longer believe in the light, we see them in every sacrifice, remember them, and sing them when necessary.

Awe will also be retained because of it.

I should thank you, and these kids, for making me figure things out. Rest assured, I don't embarrass these children, I just want them to learn to be in awe.

Not only to the great gods, but also to you and me, the mortal beings who walk on behalf of the gods. ”

Ryo nodded, "It's better to be taught by you than by outsiders." ”

With the words, the two teams moving forward moved more slowly, as the older gatekeepers slowly gathered their strength at Ryo's signal, and began to chant in a low voice with the priests.

Some things are only hidden in the heart, but they will not be forgotten. Like an experience once upon a time, like the great gods described in this hymn......

It hugged the big black cat and walked into the crowded swarm with a smile, and it hugged the big black cat and walked towards the demon army on the other side with a smile, not caring at all about the swarm that had stopped, and ......

So Ryo finally remembered why he believed in the light - because he had been hiding from the darkness.

Perhaps, that's why the parables made themselves here. Remember what you have faced and tell these children what they will face......
