Chapter 48: To each his own mind

At the end of the year, most of the Hailar people who have been busy for a star year will slow down and give their bodies and minds a buffer time to plan for the new one-star year.

The young priests of the temple were not among the crowd for no other reason, and the end of each year meant that the temple had to prepare for the New Year's prayers, and if it was to catch up with the triennial pilgrimage, it would be even more busy.

Speaking of New Year's prayers, this ancient custom can be traced back to the history of Torrey Star, which is the earliest Torrey Star people in order to pray for a good new year, a good harvest of food, and all ritualistic group activities, most of which have the effect of unifying the spirit, so this custom has continued to this day.

Originally, these tasks should be led by the priests of the temple, assisted by the young priests, but the current priest, Prince Hull, that is, Yuheng's uncle, is getting older, and he was no longer dealing with the affairs of the temple a few years ago, and the royal family is still very caring and considerate to this kind old prince, and after the New Year's prayer next year, he will officially step down from his priesthood and enjoy a good retirement.

Therefore, in addition to the regular prayers, this year's preparations also include the resignation and succession of priests.

Shen Xu, as the only attendant of the young priest, had been busy like a spinning top for a month, and as soon as he hung up the communication of the head of the palace affairs office, he saw countless newly transmitted documents, and the number of unread documents that prompted them turned into a row of ellipses at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Highness, can you wait and pray to our great herald Queen Grey, if you don't come to deal with the papers, you will soon lose your most loyal attendant - me!" Shen Xue glared at His Royal Highness the Prince, who was standing in front of the statue of the goddess in the front hall with his hands folded and seemed to be pious but lazy, and issued an ultimatum to him.

The young man in a snow-white priestly suit in front of the statue slowly opened his eyes, and looked at each other with an almost innocent and somewhat leisurely look, and he thought it was very interesting to see the always gentle and elegant Shen Xue with his teeth and claws, but he knew very well that if he was blatantly lazy, this partner who had been with him since he was a child would really blow up.

"Thank you for your hard work," he walked over to Shenxue, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You don't have to worry about all the documents, I'll take care of it." ”

Shen Xue looked at Yu Heng's back, and only felt that the stuffiness that had been stuck in his chest for a month could be regarded as an outlet.

"Lord Shenxue, the design draft of the on-site layout has been sent to your database, please give feedback as soon as possible," there was a prompt sound from the bracelet, no one can organize him to take a big vacation after this work, not Queen Leina.

Inside the temple, Yu Heng sat quietly at his desk, looking at the hologram that had become huge because of too many documents for the convenience of viewing, and sighed silently, he thought that it was much better to be a young priest than to be a city lord, and now he regrets his youth and ignorance countless times.

Since next year's prayers and the succession of priests will take place at the same time, in addition to the various documents of previous years' prayers, there are congratulatory letters from the royal families of Vitley and Usanda and a list of members of the royal family who attended the succession ceremony.

He had thought that he would come to the temple to serve and live a life that had nothing to do with politics like Prince Hull, but obviously, Sister Leenna, Her Majesty the Imperial Queen didn't think so.

In fact, he had long expected the current situation, and the royal heirs of his generation were thin, which was also a responsibility that he could not shirk as a royal family.

He processed a lot of documents as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect that he hadn't looked at the data cloud for only three days, and he had accumulated so much work, if he continued to delay, Shen Xue was afraid that he would blow up the inner hall along with himself.

The last file was an encrypted file, and when decrypted, it contained a file and a hologram, and he waved his hand to release the magnetic field, activating the isolation mechanism of the inner sanctum, and then playing the hologram, which was an image from Queen Reina.

"Yuheng, this is the document submitted to me by the Government Council early in the morning on the establishment of a special project research group by the Life Research Institute, I hope that you two will be in charge of this project, the information of the experimental subjects has been sent to you together with the documents, whether this matter is related to the lifting of the research ban I will continue to investigate, I just need you to control the export of all research data, without my permission, no one can make any decisions without authorization." In the hologram, Queen Leina is holy and dignified, and her eyes reveal a complex look.

Special Projects Study Group? Duncan really can't stop for a moment, and the royal sister didn't tell him much, but in recent years, the atmosphere of the royal family and the government affairs yuan, as well as some strange actions of the Life Research Institute, even a person who doesn't care about government affairs can vaguely smell a trace of unusualness.

Who, exactly, is going to do what? Is it against the Horris Empire? Or royalty, or hiding a larger conspiracy.

His thoughts were interrupted when he saw the test subject of this particular project, Magnetic Storm? It was really surprising, he looked at the information and couldn't help but think, it seemed that he had inexplicably established some contact with this girl since he became a young priest.

The establishment of this project team made sense, this is the only chance for scientific theory to practice, from the current point of view, but he always felt that there were other reasons behind it that he did not know.

Seeing that his name was written on the document by the person in charge of the project, since the matter had come to this, he took advantage of the situation, and by the way, as the completion of Mr. Suga's entrustment, he thought so, signed his signature on the document, and submitted the document.

Remembering that night a few months ago, the girl who ran away quickly after getting the necklace, he couldn't help but laugh, maybe this arrangement wouldn't be so boring.

Duncan was late at night when he received the approval from the Special Projects Research Group, and he knew that with His Royal Highness there, there would be no obstacles to this document, but when he saw the name of the project leader, he couldn't help but be stunned, according to expectations, he was the best person to lead the project, but obviously this should be the order of Her Majesty.

But then he was relieved, this is fine, since Her Majesty wants to stand in the light, then he will take advantage of the situation and get rid of himself, the contest between His Majesty and His Royal Highness, if it is not necessary, it is better to keep his distance, and it is not yet the time for a showdown.

Duncan suddenly thought of a person, since His Majesty has such a layout, it would be better for him to simply confuse the public, be a favor, and divert everyone's attention here.

He put a name on the paper, Whitney, and it's up to her to take the chance.

In this way, a special project research team composed of three people was established at the Imperial Life Research Institute, and the other two team members did not know anything except the person in charge.

What Kan Shuang and Jin Renxi saw in the office of the hospital was the final draft of the research group document, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while, in fact, the current situation was originally expected by her, and there was no way to hide Yilan's special physique, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Obviously, she underestimated Duncan's acumen, but when she saw that the person in charge was Yu Heng, her hanging heart was a little relieved, about Ilan herself had already truthfully explained to Her Majesty, and this arrangement was obviously instructed by Her Majesty.

As for the other person, Whitney? Duncan actually arranged for her to be in charge of the data recording, which made it very surprising, this man would always do things that make people confused, there must be a special reason behind this abnormality, she must pay more attention.

"Renxi, Yilan's schoolwork should change in the future, you just have to cooperate, you just have to do whatever Yuheng wants, but no matter what, you have to report to me at any time," Kan Shuang looked at Jin Renxi, who also looked serious.

"Don't worry," he said, seeing that there was no Duncan's name in the project team, Jin Renxi's heart was a little relieved, he instinctively rejected this person, everything that person did made people feel full of intrigue and calculation, this time it would definitely be no exception, he must protect his students.

Suga looked out the window at the still foggy sky, and she always felt as if something was quietly coming, but she hoped that she was too worried.
