Chapter 8: The Pilgrimage II

At half past four in the morning, an alarm rang in the hotel bedroom.

There was a sound of Suo Suo on the bed, Ilan struggled on the bed a few times and opened his eyes, the sky outside the window was foggy, the glass was a little hazing, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in Torrey City, which was located in the north of the empire, was large.

"Lan Lan, get up and clean up, meet your Aunt Mary's family in the hall at five o'clock, and we'll leave early," Rosa said as she helped Ivan sort out his coat.

"Oh~ I know," Ilan slowly sat up from the bed, and then walked slowly to the bathroom, from before to now, getting up early is really the biggest obstacle in Ilan's life.

Take out the pink and purple dress that was ordered half a year ago, put on the dress, and turn around in front of the mirror, I have to say that Aunt Mary's vision is really good, the skirt is slightly supported by the white lace petticoat, and the heart crystal necklace lined with the hollow pattern is very beautiful, after wearing, Yilan took the crystal hairpin given by Sister Chen on her birthday last year, and then took out the heart-shaped goggles that Sister Chen gave her "carefully" selected yesterday, two heart-shaped lenses are worn on the face, it can only be said that this style is also thanks to the cute face given by her parents, otherwise it is really difficult to control.

At five o'clock, everyone gathered in the hall, Shuanghui will start at 6 o'clock today, the time is still early, the two families slowly walk towards the pilgrimage platform.

The sky was tingling gray, the street lights were still on, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians, all dressed in formal and ornate clothes, as if they were going to a grand and solemn ball.

Yilan, who had just gotten up and was still a little confused, was walking forward with everyone in a daze, and suddenly felt a warm palm, and saw Gu Xingyan holding his hand, slowing down and staggering some distance from everyone.

He hurriedly took out a few pieces of candy from his coat pocket and stuffed them into Yilan's hand, and whispered, "Don't eat it during the pilgrimage, and eat it when it's over," After speaking, he grinned at Yilan, revealing two tiger teeth, and then hurriedly pulled Yilan to catch up with everyone.

Yilan let Gu Xingyan pull him away, his palms were very hot, as if he could drive away the cold of the early morning, and put his other hand into his coat pocket to keep warm, the few sugars just now and Gu Xingyan's residual warmth, I think he has been holding it in his hand for a while.

"Brother, you pull me away, I'm sleepy," Yilan leaned his head on Gu Xingyan's arm, the weight pressed on him, squinting his eyes and walking forward, he was already a little refreshed by the outdoor temperature, but at this moment, his palms were warm and a little sleepy came up.

"Then you can close your eyes, and I'll take you away," Xingyan leaned closer to Ilan, making her more comfortable.

Ivan and Rosa shook their heads helplessly, their daughters are good at everything, but they can't get up early, they have tried all kinds of methods in the past few years to no avail, even if they go to bed early, little Ilan will be confused as long as she gets up early.

After a short time, you will come to the pilgrimage platform located directly below the temple, the huge pilgrimage platform is built against the mountain, and the stairs extend from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, the higher the view, the more expensive it is.

After completing the formalities at the entrance of the pilgrimage platform, the two families walked to the position halfway up the mountain, this time Marlene and Ivan bought the top-level pilgrimage position with the imperial coat of arms, which was also the first time they pilgrimage in such a good position, and everyone was very happy.

When they reached their seats, there were only a few minutes left before Shuanghui appeared, and everyone sat quietly in their seats, put on their goggles, and looked reverently at the sky in front of them.

The gray sky slowly brightened, a wisp of golden-purple light broke through the clouds, and then countless rays of light tilted down, Eland and Nehe appeared from the clouds, most of the double stars overlapped together, as time passed, the double stars completely coincided, the golden light of Neh was covered by Elan, the sky was bright purple, the bright purple light of Eland Star instantly enveloped the real pilgrimage platform, people bathed in the light and prayed sincerely.

Ilan was shocked by the scene in front of her, and it was not only the intersection of the stars that shocked her, after all, the earth had seen a total solar eclipse before, she was shocked by the piety of the Nehes, she was infected by the atmosphere and relaxed to feel the light of light, and her heart gained an indescribable peace.

Ilan suddenly felt a wave of energy in her body, which was similar to the feeling she felt every time she did ability training, she immediately relaxed her body, trying to control this feeling, after all, the surrounding environment was full of metal, and it must not be out of control at this time, and she didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Between breaths, just felt that he was in control of his body, a hairpin sent by Sister Chen above his head suddenly flew up, Yilan reached out to grab it but grabbed it, she immediately tried to control the magnetic force to attract the hairpin back, but the hairpin not only did not come back, but began to fly in the air, and saw it fly to a corner of the last row of the pilgrimage platform in a few turns in the air.

Ilan looked at the family members who were silently praying around her, gritted her teeth, and walked lightly in the direction where the hairpin disappeared, she had to get the hairpin back before others found out, she was too young to be treated as a monster so early, she knew too little about the world's view of magnetism, and she must not risk exposing herself too early.

There is a very narrow staircase in the corner of the last row, and there is no end to the mountain, there is still half an hour before the end of Shuanghui, Yilan decided to go up and continue to look for the hairpin, this is not far from her position just now, there is still time to do it, she sped up and ran up, and after a few turns, she saw the hairpin flying in the air, Yilan hurriedly caught up, but unfortunately she was still a child, and she already felt a little weak.

A few bends, a gate appeared in front of her, Ilan hid by the wall, and secretly looked into the door, inside was a very large temple, except for the candles lit in many niches on the wall, there seemed to be no one, she soon saw the hairpin that fell in the corner of the main hall, Ilan dared to walk in gently.

At the innermost part of the hall stands a huge white statue of a woman, dressed in a simple skirt, her hair falling to her feet, holding a bouquet of Malicloth flowers in her left hand, which is lifelike carving, and her right palm is stretched upwards as if to welcome something.

Ilan hurriedly shook her head, there was no time to be in a daze, she ran to the corner next to the statue, picked up the hairpin, she had to hurry back, passing by the statue again, she couldn't help but look at the statue again, the woman's expression was sacred and peaceful, looking at the statue always made her feel a rare sense of peace in her heart.

"Are you lost," a voice suddenly sounded not far behind Ilan, startling her to turn around immediately, and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground.

The person who came was a white-robed young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, half of his face was covered by a silver mask, his long black hair was simply tied in a braid and hung down on the back of his head, and his emerald green eyes looked at Yilan through the mask.

"I... I, I'm lost," Ilan's brain spun rapidly, if there was no accident, this should be the temple on the top of the mountain, I didn't think much about it when I was in a hurry just now, this person was obviously a person in the temple, she couldn't tell the truth, and when she was in a panic, she actually followed his words.

The young man looked at the little girl's panicked eyes in front of him and the hairpin that fell to the ground, and a smile flashed in his eyes, as if he was frightened by himself.

He just went to the apse to deliver the papers, and when he came back, he saw a little girl in purple looking at the statue in a daze, there is no permission for outsiders to see the entrance, just now he secretly manipulated the magnetic perception, and found that it was affected by the magnetic fluctuations of the double star, and the forbidden magnetic field of the entrance was disturbed to cause the entrance to appear.

He walked towards the little girl, preparing to take her away, otherwise Shuanghui would end and the ban would be activated, and it would be difficult for her to come out of the temple again.
