Chapter 211: King James Decree
The Temple of the Moon is now crowded with people fleeing for their lives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoAlthough the scene is not chaotic under the full efforts of the priests to maintain order, it is always a little chaotic.
Those who are tired of running for their lives will relax when they reach a safe place, and most of them will only be left with the joy and exhaustion of the rest of their lives. As a result, most of the refugees simply stayed in a safe corner and sobbed quietly, comforting each other. There are also people who slowly search in the crowd, trying to find out their acquaintances and relatives. But the lucky ones who find friends and relatives are always in the minority.
Therefore, the people who had regained some strength gradually gathered around the moon well in the main temple of the moon god, and prayed to Elune with the water from the well.
The High Priest serves as the supreme leader of the Temple of the Moon. It is incumbent upon us to stand among believers and reassure the Goddess for her people. When she heard Tyrande enter, she was weaving through the crowd, healing the wounded with the powers bestowed by her powerful goddess, and reciting Elune's prayer to calm the wounded hearts.
In fact, she was the only one who heard what Tyrande said. She stood up, looking at the refugees at her feet in embarrassment, and then looked up at the distance, where the black smoke rising from the ground rose into the dark clouds in the sky. It was as if everything had been swallowed up by darkness, and it was a source of despair. The high priest subconsciously invoked the name of the goddess. "Elune, may your light dispel this terrible darkness."
Tyrande hung his head and listened silently to the prayer of the High Priest. Then he said, "My friend Malfurion and Senarius, the king of the forest, have told me that they will summon the demigods here to resist the Burning Legion. But it is certainly not safe for civilians to stay here. ”
"I see, you're right. My baby. The high priestess beckoned, motioned for several priestesses to come to her, and began to make arrangements. Sisters. Now immediately allocate manpower, take care of the elderly, children and the wounded, and you have to get out of here with everyone. ”
"What about you, High Priest?" Tyrande asked, confused and surprised.
The High Priest smiled. "Of course I'm going to stay."
"Why?" Tyrande asked, puzzled. "High Priest, we need your guidance."
The High Priestess reached out and touched Tyrande's face, wiping the dust off her face, revealing Tyrande's deep purple face. Unlike the ornate and delicate patterns that most girls love, Tyrande's face pattern is a pair of unpretentious dragon wings.
"Good boy, all it takes is courage to stay, but I have more difficult things for you to do."
The High Priest took a small box from his bosom and handed it to Tyrande.
"I've been thinking about why the goddess sheds precious tears for the humble us."
Tyrande stared at the box in amazement, she could almost guess what was inside, but it was incredulous.
The High Priest saw that Tyrande did not take the box, so he stuffed it directly into Tyrande's hand. She touched Tyrande's cheek again, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I met you that day, and I knew then that Elune had chosen you for me."
"What are you talking about? High Priest. Tyrande stammered, her mind a little confused, and the small box between her hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds of weight to weigh her down.
The High Priest stared at her, his gaze as bright and gentle as moonlight. "And now, I'm even more sure of that, Tyrande. You are the child who has been favored by Elune. ”
"No...... I ...... "Tyrande wanted to excuse himself, to say that he wasn't that special. She was just an ordinary member of many pious priestesses, who had done trivial things, and was not as remarkable as the high priest had said.
But the high priest doesn't seem to think so.
"Elune was the one who led me to you." She placed Tyrande's hand over the box. "Elune will certainly guide us out of this dark time."
"I'm sure of that." Tyrande had no objection to the second half of the High Priest's words.
"I've been watching you, Tyrande." The High Priest continued, "You have courage, determination, wisdom, and the most devout heart for Elune. Now, I'm just going to ask you one thing. ”
She stared at Tyrande and asked, "No matter what happens, will you choose Elune first?" ”
"Of course!" Tyrande answered the High Priest almost without hesitation.
The high priest smiled slightly, but his words became more and more severe. "If your future lover and Elune's temple are in danger at the same time that you need to rescue, which side will you choose? Tyrande, swear to Elune, speak your choice. ”
"I ......," Tyrande was speechless by the high priest's presence.
Future Lovers......
Wife......
It can't be ...... anyway
Tyrande's heart suddenly became very sad, but something became clearer.
"I, Tyrande. Style. ”
Tyrande raised his left hand to the water in the moon well, which symbolized the incarnation of the goddess, and put the other hand to his heart, and swore an oath: "Swear by the name of the goddess - I will defend the glory of the goddess to the death at all times, protect the name of Elune, and fight Elune's enemies to the end." Until my soul returns to Elune's bosom, and swears to die. ”
The High Priest waited for her to finish her vow, and finally smiled contentedly.
"Get on your knees, kid."
Tyrande knelt down as he was told.
The High Priest's hand rested on top of her head: "I bless you in the name of the moon goddess who sees all things, the great Elune. Tyrande. Tone, Elune's next High Priest. ”
Although they had a hunch, everyone, including Tyrande, was shocked by the words of the high priest.
Tyrande, in particular, really felt like a dream.
Serving Elune was her wish and her ideal, and sacrificing everything for Elune was her mental preparation. Therefore, in her opinion, the oath she made just now was not persecuted by the high priest, and every word was exactly what she wanted in her heart. But she didn't expect that the high priest would directly declare her as her heir right now. Such a great and dazzling glory made her feel more trepidation than joy.
"This ...... It's not appropriate. High Priest. Tyrande's heartfelt excuse. How could someone as inexperienced as me have such an honor? There are many, many sisters who know the temple better than I do! I'm just a newbie. ”
The title was set, and the high priest pulled her up.
"I'm still the High Priest." Her tone became lighter, as if she had solved a major matter on her mind. "So you'll have to listen to me, little girl."
