Chapter 14: The Beginning
"Miss, how is the ceremony going?"
Although the steward Old Tyr has always been on one side, because the psychic ritual is to establish a connection with the gods, it itself has the realm of the gods, so when the gods descend, a special barrier will naturally form between the invokers, so the old Tyre is not aware of what is happening.
Dai nodded tiredly, and after getting up, her feet softened, but fortunately, the housekeeper Old Til saw the opportunity quickly, and stepped forward to hold her.
"It seems that my Gudesa language needs to be learned from scratch. Dai smiled wryly, and after sorting out the traces of the ceremony, she looked at Old Till's serious and concerned expression, thought about it, and told him.
"What is certain is that I did summon the Fallen God, but I didn't lose my soul for it. ”
This was one thing she was very sure of, but this time the psychic ritual didn't achieve the desired purpose, but it wasn't for nothing.
Although the gods are elusive beings who override all beings, Dai can still be sure that this time the psychic ritual did not disgust the fallen gods, which means that the next attempt can be continued.
"Tyr, help me prepare for the second channeling ritual. ”
The housekeeper who had just breathed a sigh of relief had a stunned face, and was about to open his mouth to persuade but was interrupted by Dai Shengsheng.
"My body has been branded with order and law, so what is there to worry about dedicating my faith to the fallen gods?"
Dai's calm tone made Old Tyre sigh, order and law prevented the young lady from advancing in strength, and dedicating her faith to a fallen god could indeed offset this shackle.
For the Haldanes family, perhaps the fallen god is the best choice, but this road is destined to be thorny, and the slightest mistake will have to face the thunderous wrath of the church, even if it carefully avoids the eyes and ears of the church, the last thing to face is still the fallen god who shows his greedy face.
Although the fallen gods are both gods, they are greedy, and the advantage is that they can actually fulfill your desires, rather than relying on daily prayers.
After cleaning the basement, old Tyre walked ahead with a kerosene lamp, and Dai refused his request to help, so old Tyre walked very slowly, and after a long time Old Tyre spoke:
"Miss, Roddy's father is dead. ”
Dai was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked:
"When?"
"Just before the young lady began the psychic ritual. ”
Dai was silent for a while, looking a little lonely, and her tone was full of helplessness.
"The village of Leo today is unfortunate enough. ”
.....
Roddy stared blankly at the wooden bench in front of him, where his father had been sitting just a few breaths ago, but now it had turned into a small, mysterious stone with a faint blue light.
Since he was a child, he loved to listen to mythological stories and fantasize about having mysterious powers, which is one of the reasons why he took the initiative to join the scavenging team.
But he never thought that his curiosity about the mystery led him to witness the death of his teammate and his father turned into a stone in just one day.
"Roddy, I will leave a special stone when I die, and you will give it to the priest of the church. ”
His father's words still echoed in his mind, and Roddy finally realized that there was a real mystery in this world, and the cost of touching it was beyond his ability to bear and imagine.
He begins to fear the mystery and begins to be cowardly, but the heat in his chest forces him to face the reality that his father passed on the mystery to him before he died.
The mystery he was curious about and revered finally opened its doors to him.
"No... No... It's not what I want..."
Luo Di clenched his chest violently, clutching the mysterious pattern on his chest into his palm, not caring at all that the flesh embedded in his fingers had already oozing red blood.
His voice was hoarse and deep, his emotions remorseful and dazed.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the deafening thunder was coming in waves, and Roddy slowly let go of his chest, the sharp pain stimulating him to understand the truth of all this.
"Father..."
Roddy called softly, slowly lying on the stool, taking the stone into his arms to feel the residual temperature, feeling the cruel reality.
"It turns out that death is such a common thing. ”
Luo Di's tone was unexpectedly calm, and then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put on his shirt neatly, wrapped the stone left by his father in cloth, looked back at his sleeping mother, and walked out into the street in the heavy rain, he was going to the church, and gave it to Dai, to complete what his father had told him.
He had realized that his father's actions might be to protect his family.
And he will find that reason.
The road to the church was not far, but the heavy rain drenched him from head to toe at such a fast speed that the slightly curly ends of his hair against his face made him look a little embarrassed.
When he arrived at his destination, Roddy tightened the cloth bag in his arms, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door of the church, realizing that this seemed unreasonable, so he wrinkled his face, twisted his nose hard, and tried to squeeze his tears, but found that there was nothing, but fortunately, the rain was heavy enough.
The knock on the door also became rapid and forceful, and it seemed that Roddy was so flustered and uneasy.
"Dai!!Open the door, open the door quickly!!"
With Roddy's anxious voice, the door slowly opened, and the old butler Tyre looked at Roddy in surprise, and hurriedly got out of the way and invited Roddy in.
"What's the matter?"
Roddy looked flustered, frightened, and uneasy, trembling and speaking in a very weak tone.
"My father, my father died, and he left this thing for me to give to Dai. ”
Roddy did a good job, in fact he didn't need much disguise at all.
The housekeeper Old Thiel took the cloth bag cautiously, and did not ask how Roddy's father died, let alone what was in the bag, but methodically led Roddy to the backyard and prepared a change of clothes, and pointed to the bathroom.
"Miss is doing something urgent, it takes some time, you go take a shower first and wait for a while. ”
Roddy opened his mouth to say something, but the old butler interrupted him at the right time.
"Wait, sometimes it can make people calmer, you may need to calm down, it won't be long before you can see Miss soon. ”
Roddy didn't shirk anymore and opened the bathroom door with his clothes.
Old Tyre, the butler, did not leave until he heard the sound of water.
At the same time, Luo Di noticed the housekeeper's departure, so he took off his shirt and looked at his left chest in the mirror, the clear red fingerprints and the blurred blood stains made the mysterious pattern even more weird and bloody.
This is the only thing his father left him, and the only clue.
