Chapter 231: Zhu
Before dawn, Nicole habitually stood in front of the idol, ready to lead the people in prayer. But an unexpected person stopped her - cousin Mera. They stared at each other in silence, and finally Nicole took a slight step back.
Nicole's concession did not delight Mera, only the most devout could stand before God, and Nicole was clearly no longer fit for the position. For Nicole's sake, for the sake of the family, for the sake of everyone here, she had to stand up.
They have always been good sisters, and I believe Nicole will understand her. She didn't dare to talk to Nicole on the night of the gods' coming, because such whispers were blasphemy against the gods.
From an early age, she feared the darkness until the light found her. In her sleep, the light left no shadow in her world. Soon after, she became a wizard, a useless wizard. She could summon a soft light in her palm, and that light was neither dazzling nor warm. It's just cold, soft, just like her character.
With the company of light, she finally got rid of the entanglement of the night. This made her gradually cheerful and bold, but far from courageous. Compared to Nicole, her audacity is more like a timid child peeking his head out from the back of his parents.
In the former Sitong Town, she was the first to kneel. It doesn't make sense, it's just instinct. The boy suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, darkness surrounding him. No one knew what she saw, and the darkness of the bottomless abyss had already swallowed everyone, but they hadn't chewed it.
The next few days were the most torturous days of her life. Until the light came, the glimmer of light in her body also jumped. She saw light and darkness go hand in hand, and she saw light carrying darkness in her palms......
She bowed herself reverently at the feet of the light, for that was her destination, and she humbled huddle in the darkness because of his strength. The light accepted her piety, as evidenced by the pendant hidden in her breast.
The darkness in Wings is long gone. That day, the glimmer of light in Mera's body was high, and she knew that the light had driven out the darkness. Ability doesn't fool her, intuition doesn't fool her, the glimmer that has been with you for years doesn't fool her—the darkness is gone.
She marched with the army and witnessed true blood and fire. Witnessing his cousin, Nicole, sinking into darkness day by day.
That's not right!
But as a mortal, how dare you speak of the gods. She had to make her cousin realize her mistake and make her understand the greatness of the light. Sooner or later, my cousin will be able to understand her painstaking efforts.
Today, she wears a plain white robe, how can she, as an apostle of light, be contaminated with the color of the night?
She gently held out the pendant hidden in her chest, she wanted to tell the world the favor of the gods, she wanted her cousin to understand that this was the will of the gods. And she has no choice!
A glimmer of light lit up from her palm, and fate had already shown her the way.
At the end of the ceremony, she turned her gaze to her cousin, hoping that she would wake up, but in exchange for only a departing back.
......
After a busy day, Nicole stood in front of the statue of the god of the dark night in the square of Yong'an City, dressed in black. Everyone looked at her, with suspicion, with a hint of distrust.
Mera has a token from the gods, do you have it? If not, why are you closest to the gods?
Nicole ignored the gaze behind her, and she slowly fell to the ground and began to pray. The voice echoed through the silence of the night, but no one responded.
Last night, she finally saw the grandeur of the light, but she didn't like it, she didn't like it very much! The light was too domineering and arrogant, and she finally understood the sweet and salty taste of the light when it came to the former town of Sitong—it was the smell of blood.
When I entered the city today, there was no living creature in Yong'an City. Last night's light swept away everything, and that light was cold and blind, and could not be refused, not escaped, or even surrendered. Without the tolerance of the dark night, the light is too severe.
Nicole meticulously completed the prayer, then walked through the crowd and towards her tent. As she left, the sound of prayer grew, and it was still loud and loud, except for a hint of reverence.
How can we mortals understand the will of the gods? Last night the light did not force her to turn her back on the darkness, and the darkness did not keep her away from the light.
So Nicole didn't pay attention to anything outside of her, she just prayed in her heart: I am the apostle of the night, walking in the darkness and mist. I offer light in darkness. When the punishment comes, I give you a choice - life or death.
Nicole ignores the object, but it comes to her door, and Mera asks Nicole to hand over the military power.
In the face of this unreasonable request, Nicole shook her head, "My rights are given by the gods, and the gods did not issue an oracle when they came here last night. And you, how dare you challenge the authority of the gods?"
Nicole's words shocked Mera that the gods had not given her any rights, and she was in a daze. She looked panicked away from Nicole and ran back to the statue of light to confess softly.
After a night of repentance, Mera looked a little haggard, but still led the crowd through the prayer in the morning light. She temporarily dismissed the idea of fighting for power, and only begged Nicole not to say last night's words in public.
She's now—not in the right name, not in the right words. I just hope that there will be fewer incidents and let her spend this time safely. But the heavens did not fulfill the wishes, and in the evening someone stood between Nicole and the idol.
Now we are all slaves of God, and there is no obvious difference in identity. Mera got a bad head and she opened everyone's ambitions. And Nicole's compromise also made some people see opportunities.
Nicole knew she couldn't get close to the light, but she didn't think anyone here would be more qualified to be near the darkness than she was.
She raised her voice and said, "The gods will give the verdict, and you don't deserve to stand in my way. ”
Someone snorted disdainfully.
Disdain, even if it was directed at Nicole, but this was before the idol. In the midst of the horror of the people, the idol came to life. The souls of countless war dead emerged from the idols, turning into a whirlwind of souls that surrounded Nicole and the others.
There was a howl in the wind, and no one could see what was going on. When the whirlwind vanished, Nicole was the only one standing there intact.
The darkness never left, it was always around. When she was wrapped in the whirlwind, a ray of warmth rose from the pendant on her chest, gently protecting her. The scream of the soul turned into a soft whisper, boasting of the tranquility of the night.
Nicole stepped over the filth on the ground and walked to the foot of the idol and raised her head. Looking at the face that was hidden by the mist, he showed a gentle smile.
Mera stared at her cousin's back, watching her raise her head to face the idol and listen to the sound of prayer. As everyone began to respond to the prayers mechanically, their nails gradually pierced into their palms......
