Volume 2 Storm Chapter 36 The Priest Who Was Attacked! (Ask for recommendation votes~)
Outside, the crowds gradually turned into a sea of people, and more and more night market stalls were set up in the middle of the town, and the sweet and fragrant smell of the food wafted into the small shops of Timi, lingering on the noses of Hangichiro and Thea.
"Gollum ......"
"Goo......
Both were hungry and their stomachs made a noise of protest!
By this time, Itina had been lying on the table for nearly three hours and woke up in a daze.
'This guy should have had enough rest, too. ’
Koichiro was about to wake her up.
As a result, after Itina opened her eyes, she opened her mouth and said: "Your Excellency, I'm so sleepy, ah~" said and covered her mouth and yawned.
The playful Thea had a plan, shook her fluffy fluffy fox tail with a little flattery, and said, "Your Excellency, why don't you stay in Colum Town tonight, you can watch the festival is quite fun......"
Speaking of the back, Xia's head was almost buried in her chest, and her voice became quieter and quieter.
'Ah, I'm so embarrassed to let you know my playful side......
Hangichiro touched his chin, seeing that the sky was getting darker, it was not safe to take advantage of the night to rush to the mountain road, after all, there was no such invention as a lamp here, and it would not be too late to go back tomorrow.
Timi on the side echoed, "Yes, yes, let's stay for one night, my house is good and cheap!" ”
"Ah, well, let's have two rooms......"
Hanichiro's money bag has gone through a day of scattered wealth, and his round figure has lost nearly half of its plumpness.
"Yay! Soon~ I will have a dinner made by myself for you later! ”
Timi jumped to the counter with excitement, took out a quill pen, dipped the juice from the ink cartridge and wrote it down, then staggered back, took two of them from the key ring that hung on the side of her pocket and solemnly handed them to Koichiro.
"Take good care of it, it's in the innermost two adjacent rooms on the second floor!"
Sure enough, he was a nice owner and immediately served dinner after staying, which is a common delicacy in the town of Collum.
The hospitable Timi prepared enough for five people, and the three of them beckoned Timi to have a full meal together.
On a long white wooden table with a blue top, a golden candlestick is placed, and the chef is a skilled chef of Timi, and the dinner is a cheese and seafood gratin, because the town of Collum is close to the sea, rich in seafood, and the raisin doughnuts and strawberry doughnuts made by Timi are also very tempting with a small circle of colorful powdered sugar.
"I don't remember the last time I ate seafood in Tokyo, but it's a bit homesick to be able to eat good seafood in another world," says Koichiro, munching on his meal in silence, feeling a sense of happiness in his heart.
It was nearly nine o'clock, and it was still very lively outside, and the crowd did not mean to disperse.
"Go out and have a look, Your Excellency", Koichiro gladly accepted Thea's proposal.
"Itina? What about you? Thea asked, wide-eyed.
"Hmm...... I'm sleeping, I'm not going", Itina waved her hand sleepily and went upstairs.
Itina went shopping all day and still felt tired after a while.
'Okay, I have to leave this little bird that has been released from the nest for a day to rest alone', Thea looked at the background of Itina's footsteps going upstairs and spread her hands helplessly, in fact, she was happy in her heart, she could be alone with Lord Ernest!
--
When Thea and Koichiro walked out, Timi quickly put away her plate, and then hid in the room to change into a costume that she didn't usually wear.
Under the pale pink robe, a navy blue skirt with a wide collar reached to the ankles, a flowing cloud tie around the waist, bells with priestly gold stripes on the hands and ankles, and a short pendant with water ripples around the head.
This is the priest's dress at the festival.
The priests on the continent of Teyvat are required to be unmarried women, and first of all, she must be a faithful believer in the original god.
In the Aztec kingdom, the priests helped to take care of the church of the original water god Atilina, lived in the church, helped the common people to treat some incurable diseases, and also prayed for the blessings of the people in the town.
"Really, why did you ask me to substitute for me today......" Timi muttered quietly as she changed into her priestly clothes as she was about to go out.
She had never heard of the priest's work being a substitute, and she had been forced to study the work of a priest for nearly a week, so she couldn't help it, after all, it was a friend's request, so let's do it.
After changing into a cumbersome priest's robe, Timi went back to her room, took out a cane stored here by a good friend in the cupboard, and looked at the cane carved with unfamiliar patterns, Timi's big eyes were full of doubts.
"She said that after the priest's blessing dance, the cane is lit to the ground, and then the power of the Eye of God gives to the water can be released, and then the band will play next to the fountain, so that the final curtain call of the autumn festival can be completed, right?"
Timi had repeated her friend's instructions many times, for fear of forgetting some of the details that she had been rehearsing the other day.
"What is the Vision? It's better to get a shower when you release the water jet......"
Timi just thought it was also a blessing mantra for the priests.
Timi affirmed her thoughts, and clenched her fists to cheer herself up, "Come on, you can do this job!" ’
With that in mind, Timi picked up a shower with half a bucket of water and prepared to go out.
At this moment, under the moonlight, a dark shadow passed on the roof.
The tight and well-proportioned figure is wrapped under the black leather coat, a pair of rabbit ears and beautiful black hair, the lace half-mask can't hide the bright light of the watery eyes, and the thin lips are tightly pursed out of an evil and seductive arc.
"Huh!" The woman let out a chuckle, 'Found you, Messenger of the Gods!' It seems that there is a very good source of income again! ’
Nexus, carrying a large suitcase, wanders around various countries, specializing in hunting messengers of the gods, and then kidnapping and selling them to the underground Colosseum in exchange for large sums of money to support her in a romantic and luxurious life.
Although she is also a messenger of the gods, she has no intention of saving the world with the ability that so many people can't ask for, she just wants to make money quickly and live a good life, this is because ......
"Anyway, the messenger of the gods, the ability to protect himself is a little bit, most of them will not be tortured to death if they go to the underground Colosseum, it doesn't matter, it is better to let me enjoy it for a while!" ’
Since discovering that it was a good "job", Nexus has become more and more emboldened after doing the same twice.
"Ripple...... Bang Chang ......"
The originally flat glass inside the window appears in the middle of the window, and then gradually expands, dividing the glass into four parts.
After a shrill sound, the window frame crumbled.
"Boom......"
Then, the sound of something shattering to the ground.
A crack appeared in the middle of the glass of the window, which was kicked by the woman with all her might, and she sneered disdainfully, "There is nothing as strong as my Nex's ice." ”
"Huh? Isn't it, there are bear children making trouble at this time? ”
Timi couldn't help but pout and curse, this is really hateful, why do these boys always love to smash her window, is it because she is the best tempered proprietress in Collum!
Don't be so interested in attracting attention!
So she hurriedly wanted to run downstairs to check, obviously she had already found a craftsman to reinforce the house, how could this happen.
Nexus was agile, hanging upside down from the roof and falling directly to the second floor of this small bungalow, and then, Nexus hid in a blind spot, restrained his aura as a messenger of the gods, and watched silently.
Seeing the timing, the silly-looking priest in front of her really didn't seem to notice her visit at all, and Nexus was pleased with that.
Just as she was dressed in a complicated costume and had little room for mobility, Timi was ready to take the first step.
Suddenly!
Timi's long braid with an aqua blue headband was grabbed by a hand from behind, and then pulled back hard, and her foot seemed to have tripped over something.
"Ahh
There was a sharp pain in the scalp at the back of his head, and before he could touch his head, Timi's socked foot slipped, and the whole person rolled down the stairs.
"Hahahaha, stupid", Nexus laughed out loud without sympathy as she looked at the clumsy girl, and felt as if she had crushed her intellect.
"A god messenger like this kind of waste will probably be sold to the underground Colosseum and won't live for ten seconds, right? It's probably a colosseum that can only be used as a ticket for ticketing, and it's even more useless than the previous one, how can God give good qualifications to such people. ”
Nexus, who made a trick behind him, saw that with a "gently" push, this divine messenger was powerless, and he rolled down and couldn't get up at the corner of the stairs, and he was also a little proud.
"Anyway, it's good to get the money quickly. Tie it up and take it away. ”
"Da"
She walked downstairs from upstairs like a judge.
"Don't come here."
"Da"
The sound of the tipping of his high heels on the ground drew closer and closer to Timi, and a huge suitcase was also open to her, and Timi seemed to be afraid that she would be loaded in the next second.
"Well, I'm not going to kill you", Nexus walked into Timi, crouched down on one knee beside her, pinched her chin and raised her head.
Then, Nexus hypocritically took off the priest's crown that Timi had just wore, glanced at it and threw it aside, "This thing is not valuable, let's exchange it with my sister for something valuable." ”
Timi fell to the ground on her side, trying to struggle to get up, but the pain in her ankle came and went, and the weakness of her lower limbs made her unable to support it, so she had to move backwards by grabbing the floor with her hands.
She looked at the woman dressed as a bunny girl who walked towards her step by step with fear, and she trembled incessantly, and her lips trembled so much that she couldn't shout a word for help.
While the woman pinched her chin and looked at her......
Timi, who was trembling and retreating, suddenly touched a bell that had fallen to the ground, and she was so frightened that she grabbed it as a life-saving straw.
It's a handbell with a priest's gold stripe!
'God save me, save me, O God! ’
It's like a cry without any power to fight back.
'God, please don't forsake me......'
Two lines of tears were soaked in snot, and the timid Timi was directly frightened and cried, and the makeup performed by the priest who was about to go out was a ball on her face.
'I'm not a believer in you yet, but I've rehearsed to be a priest, save me......
The handbell depicting the priest's gold pattern was held tightly by a trembling Timi, and it made a small crackling sound.
