Chapter 5: Falling into a Dream
The return of the scavenging team and the abundant harvest soon spread throughout the village, and some people who worked in the village rushed over as soon as possible.
It was exactly 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was bright, so nearly half of the villagers were still working in the lower district of Kotar City, and most of the remaining were elderly people and adults who did not have stable jobs.
Roddy's mother worked as an hourly wage worker at a lime mill in Downtown, and there were five hours before the end of the day, not counting overtime.
This is quite difficult for Roddy, who can't wait to see his mother smile.
However, at least you can see your father and Dai.
Roddy's father was the only carpenter in the village, and in addition to repairing fences, houses, tables and chairs for the residents at very low prices, he would make his own small puppets to sell in the lower part of Kotatar City on Saturdays.
And Dai is the girl who prayed for each member of the scavenging team before leaving, her full name is Dai Haldanes, she has a surname that only nobles have, and she is obviously a noble girl, but for some reason she came to Leo Village with her housekeeper and became a priest, staying for five years.
This also made the villagers from the initial wariness and doubt to the current acceptance and love.
In the past five years, Roddy has the best relationship with her, and the two are also of the same age, Dai is seventeen years old, and Roddy is eighteen.
"Welcome back. ”
Dai said softly to Luo Di with an expressionless face, Luo Di grinned in response, he knew that Dai had always been like this, and it was already very unusual to be able to say this sentence to himself alone.
"Father!"
Roddy saw his father standing on the periphery at a glance, and was about to squeeze over but was grabbed by Gusfu's arm, and when he looked back and saw the captain's serious expression, he suddenly realized that he still had to accept the blessing and arrange to go to the church hall on duty.
"I'm sorry... I thought I could say hello to my family first. ”
"It's for your family. ”
"Hmm... I know, thank you, Captain. ”
Luo Di honestly stayed where he was, watching Gu Sifu and Dai bow their heads and say a few words, and found that Dai looked at him frequently, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, because he found that Dai's eyes were full of worry!
I couldn't help but wave my hand at her, as if to say:
You see, I'm in good spirits!
Then I saw Dai's butler, Mr. Old Thier, standing between the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally, and glancing at himself intentionally or unintentionally.
Roddy quickly shrank his head, he found himself more afraid of this old butler named Old Tyre than his stern father.
"I've already told Dai the details, and she will arrange it depending on the situation, so let's go with her now. ”
"Ahh
It hasn't been announced who found the relics...
"Well... I understand. ”
Roddy hurriedly followed behind Old Till, and when he left, he found that his father was still looking at him from the periphery, and after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth, but there was no sound, but the meaning of the mouth shape was still conveyed:
"Father, don't worry. ”
I don't know if Gusfu will help me explain it to my father and mother.
Roddy muttered to himself and followed Old Tyre to the only church in the village.
The church is not large, with no carved glass, no floor-to-ceiling silk curtains, just a relatively empty space with rows of seats for listening to the service, not even a decent sculpture, but the motifs that symbolize order and law are still not missing.
"Sit here. ”
Dai remained expressionless, while Old Tyre deliberately staggered with Roddy and closed the door to the church.
Not knowing if it was a delusion or what, Roddy felt threatened by Old Tyre.
It wasn't until Dai reminded him again that Roddy came back to his senses and sat honestly in the chair designated by Dai.
The next ritual was something he had never seen before.
Dai took out a small green bottle, and then opened it, and suddenly a refreshing fragrance spread, Luo Di took a sip hard, and gradually felt that his spirit was becoming more and more relaxed, and at the same time, Dai's voice came slowly, as if singing, gently and softly.
By the time he came to his senses, it was all over.
"No problem, no need to go to the hall again. ”
Roddy looked at Dai stunned.
Is that the end of it? No need for a ritual?
He thought it was different from his usual prayers, so he was looking forward to it, and it turned out to be no different from what Gusfu had done in the Forsaken Lands...
Wait a minute!
Roddy realized what Dai meant.
"Don't need to go to the hall?"
"Hmm. Dai nodded softly.
That's great!
Roddy exclaimed to himself, and even wanted to hug Dai to share his joy, but old Tyre, with a gloomy face, dispelled the idea.
Not having to go to the church office meant he could still participate in tomorrow's exploration! More importantly, he had heard that going to the church hall was not a good errand, not only would it be a waste of a week, but he would also have to deal with the strange clergy called the Guardians.
"Then I, can I go home now?", Roddy looked a little expectant.
"Hmm. Dai, still expressionless.
"Ha, that's great!", Roddy said goodbye to Dai and Old Thiel happily, just walked to the door and remembered something, turned around and said happily:
"Dai, I've found something good this time, Captain Gusfu said that I can exchange at least fifty gold pounds, and I'll apply for some when the time comes, and then I'll go to the lower city to buy a new set of sacrificial clothes for you!"
Dai listened quietly, looked down at the sacrificial clothes on her body, and nodded imperceptibly.
After Roddy left, old Tyre, who had been silent, spoke:
"Miss, is there any problem?"
He knew that his young lady was not proficient in 'falling into a dream', and he had to use special props to simply peek at a corner of the sea of knowledge of others, but it still had a considerable effect on ordinary people.
As Dai's closest person, Old Thiel was keenly aware of the slightest strangeness in the young lady's 'dream'.
Dai nodded, but didn't say anything, instead remembering the man she had seen in Roddy's dream that scared Roddy.
Every word he said was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and she was a member of the Haldanes family and had learned the language.
"Tyr, help me find a book on the Gudesa language, the older the better, preferably involving the second generation. ”
Old Thiel bowed slightly, indicating understanding.
As a qualified housekeeper, he does not ask too much about the master's thoughts, all he has to do is let the master invest his excess energy on important things.
......
As soon as Roddy arrived at the door of the house, he saw the captain come out with his feet raised, and the two were a little surprised when they met, and Roddy was surprised that the captain had a soft smile on his face, which he had never seen before.
"Don't need to go on duty?", Gusfu quickly guessed the reason, quickly adjusted his facial expression, and straightened his face again.
What did my father say to the captain to make the captain so happy?
Roddy looked at his father behind the captain with some suspicion, and said without any prompting:
"Captain, will you stay for dinner?"
