Without waiting for Su Xiaoting to answer, one of them was already excited: "Yes, you will go with us, your current level is completely enough for those fierce beasts in the forest." This is a rare opportunity to fight~"

In his heart, he secretly decided to find the boss when he went back, and he had to grind until he let Xiaoting go with him, not to mention that he couldn't think of a reason for the boss to refuse.

After listening to his series of recommendations, Su Xiaoting also had some longing, not to mention that her current duty is to be a personal guard, and she can also get the opportunity to fight. Let's just say that since the secret of the blood was discovered, she has no interest in playing.

Although Mu Ling is civilized and backward, she once again experienced the sense of freedom of birds entering the deep forest and fish jumping into the sea.

In order to see the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of his friends, he was more concerned than Su Xiaoting himself, and was determined to use this sacrifice to help her break through to level 4 as soon as possible.

Three days later, Su Xiaoting was indeed selected as one of the accompanying guards, and accompanied Ji Yuning to Shennu County to participate in the sacrifice ceremony.

In addition, more than 20 responsible generals from various departments, under the escort of more than 80 entourage guards, rode more than a dozen carriages to the temple of the Goddess Peak.

The tower in the city sounded three times, it was around 9 o'clock, the convoy slowly drove out of the blue-gray city gate in the pious kneeling of the people along the street, looking at the men, women and children kneeling on the side of the road, after Ji Yuning's carriage drove away, they all slowly turned to the direction of the goddess county, solemnly clasped their hands, and silently recited prayers in their mouths, Su Xiaoting was a little moved by the piety of the people.

As soon as they got out of the city gate, the convoy sped up, and Su Xiaoting, who was riding side by side behind Ji Yuning's carriage, couldn't help but clench the reins.

This time, they took the overland route, which was a lot more travel, and it was expected that they would arrive in the territory of Shennu County in the afternoon, and then rest and repair for the night, just in time for the sacrificial ceremony to be held tomorrow morning.

Su Xiaoting sometimes thinks about it, and feels that people's adaptability is really incredible, but it has only been more than a week, and after more than a year of sitting in a fool-like suspension car, she has actually adapted to the life of traveling by horse, but it may also be because she has experienced an era of material poverty, which is different from the real future ladies.

Just when the team had been riding for half an hour and her legs began to be a little sore, Ji Yuning's voice came from the carriage: "An Ting, come in, I have something to ask you!" ”

Hearing this, Su Xiaoting turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to one of them, and got into the carriage that Ji Yuning was riding.

"City Lord, do you have something to do with me?"

Ji Yuning held a book in his hand, his posture was a little lazy, leaning on the sheepskin cushion specially designed for the carriage.

"Well, I heard you're looking at Boundless Ambition! Where do you see? ”

Su Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, looked up at the city lord who was a little different from the usual impression of Zhilan Yushu and tall as pine, and bowed her head and replied:

"Well, the upper part of Boundless Ambition has just finished reading."

A few thoughts had already turned in her heart, could it be that Ji Yuning wanted to understand the senses of the people of the United States about this, or to test her understanding of the Boundless Land?

Ji Yuning seemed to turn over a page of the book, hummed lightly, and said, "Since you like reading so much, you might as well take a look at this book again." ”

With that, he picked up a book in his hand and handed it over.

Su Xiaoting took it in surprise, this book is similar to those books in the library, it has an ancient and simple atmosphere, and the book on the cover - "Divine Revelation"

Ji Yuning explained in a timely manner: "This book records the legends related to the goddess Sephonene, you are not from here, you may have questions at tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony, you might as well find out." ”

So that's the case, Su Xiaoting secretly said that the city lord thought about it thoroughly, the so-called following the local customs, if she didn't know what kind of jokes she made at the celebration, it would be too embarrassing. I couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude on my face, "Thank you, City Lord, I'll take a quick look." ”

With that, he was going to get up and get out of the car.

"This carriage is wide, so look at it! If you have any questions, I'm always ready to answer them. ”

Su Xiaoting was still hesitating, Ji Yuning had patted the cushion beside her and said, "There are soft cushions and pillows here, you can just feel free, if you are afraid of motion sickness, you might as well sit here." ”

Su Xiaoting's eyes were a little round, there was nothing wrong with this carriage being wide, but if she had to share a carriage with a city lord with an aura of two meters eight, she felt more comfortable sitting on the wheel and blowing the wind.

But the other party said so frankly, if she refuses again, won't she become a gentleman with the heart of a villain? What's more, when she encounters such a sympathetic boss for her subordinates, she can't bear to brush off the other party's kindness.

Su Xiaoting turned her heart sideways, thanked her softly, and glanced at the position in the car, Ji Yuning had already moved to the side of the back seat, and the vacant space could still accommodate two people.

And there is a window on each side of the back seat, which is fully illuminated, and the carriage is much more bumpy than the car, Su Xiaoting is no longer hypocritical, and sits on the other side of the back seat.

At this time, Ji Yuning had continued to bury his head in reading, his posture was leisurely and lazy, Su Xiaoting couldn't help but relax her shoulders and leaned back, the sand-colored sheepskin cushions were moderately soft and hard, which could indeed effectively alleviate the bumps of the carriage, and after a while, she fell into the world of the book.

One of them outside the car was pulling the reins for Su Xiaoting, thinking that she would come out soon, but who knew that except for the beginning when he seemed to hear a few words from the two, there was no sound in the back.

I was about to go to the window of the car to listen to the movement, but I was stabbed in the back.

"I mean, what are you kid wandering around?"

"Ahh He leaned over and asked:

"Huh? What do you say the boss is looking for Xiaoting? It's been half an hour, why hasn't there been any movement at all? ”

"Movement? What more movement do you want? Ah Tao glanced at them one by one and teased: "Don't make a mess, the boss is worried that your apprentice can't ride a horse, is it possible that you also want to go to the carriage to sit?" ”

“…… What is there to sit in a carriage? But how did I forget this stubble, it's still the boss's thoughtfulness! One of them scratched his head with a smile, his apprentice had fine skin and tender meat, so naturally he shouldn't be exposed to the wind and sun.

"That is, who is the boss? Let's go, let's talk to the other two. ”

As she passed the carriage, she glanced vaguely at the inside of the carriage, her eyes flashing with gossip and joy.

Time in the car is silent, this legend of Sephone almost subverts the modern version that Su Xiaoting knows, if it were not for the same name, and some stories faintly overlapped, this is almost a new god.

She remembered that Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of grains in Greek mythology, but one of the many children of Zeus, and was not well known.

Persephone's most famous story is that one day, she was playing with other lake fairies to pick flowers, and the earth bloomed with fragrant daffodils, and when Sephone was attracted to it and wanted to pick them, the earth suddenly cracked, and Hades, the king of Hades, who was driving a black carriage, appeared, carried the frightened Sephone into the carriage, disappeared into the cracks, and brought her back to the underworld to marry the queen of the underworld.

Grief after the loss of his daughter, Demeter left Olympus to search everywhere, causing everything to stop growing.

Zeus could not make the earth barren, so he sent someone to pick up Sephone, but Hades gave her four pomegranate seeds, forcing Sephone to return to the underworld for four months a year, so when she was on earth, the world was lush with vegetation and abundant grains, and when she was in the underworld, the countryside would be barren and everything would wither.
