The defeated psionic warriors quickly brought the news of Mu Yuli's return to the study of the first family of the thirteenth silver city.

At this moment, there were four old men sitting around the long table in the study. Among them, the old man sitting in the first place is tall and ruddy-faced, and he is the contemporary head of Peter's family-Brandon Peter, ninety-six years old this year, is the second most powerful saint in the thirteenth silver city after praying for rain; The old man sitting on Brandon's left side, with a capable figure, named Colin Burns, is the head of the second family of Silver City 13, and he is also a strong man who has been in the Holy Rank for many years; As for the thin old man on Brandon's right, he is the head of the third family of Silver City Thirteen - Morton Lei Ling; And the last one, sitting opposite Brandon, the gray-haired old man, named Jiang Xiao, is the head of the fourth family of the thirteenth silver city, who is in his sixties this year and has not yet entered the holy rank.

After hearing the news, Brandon picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it, and said: "It's useless for the little girl to come back, as far as I know, she hasn't stepped into the Holy Rank yet, as long as she doesn't get the support of our four major families, she won't want to enter the Temple of Prayer for Rain." "According to the rules of the diocese of Notre-Dame, if the successor designated by the former priest has less than 65% support in the local area, her rights will be revoked, and another sacrifice will be sent by the temple of the moon.

"Old Peter, we must not let her become the next generation of rain sacrifices, this little girl has always been unpopular, she is ruthless in doing things, and she never leaves any room, if she is allowed to take the throne, we will have a sad life in the future." Colin of the Second Family said hatefully. Two years ago, when his eldest great-grandson was studying at the Central Yincheng Military Academy, he accidentally provoked Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, and as a result, she designed and murdered him, grabbed the handle, and directly broke his spine. He is still lying in a hospital bed and unable to take care of himself.

"I am in favor of it, if she takes the throne, she will definitely support the eight major families to govern together, thus reducing our influence." Morton chimed in. Silver City 13 has always had eight nobles, but the fifth to eighth families are declining and have been pushed out of the decision-making circle by them. However, with the support of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, they may be able to resurrect and return to the council of Silver City 13.

"Hmm." Jiang Xiao nodded, but didn't say anything. The Jiang family originated from the Far East and has been engaged in business for generations. Compared with the other three aborigines of the Northern Wilderness, their relationship is not so close. In addition, the head of the family, Jiang Xiao, only has the strength of a fifth-order psionic power, so most of the time, the Jiang family maintains a low-key and neutral attitude, which is why the Jiang family can still be one of the four decision-making families in the thirteenth silver city despite the lack of force.

"Unless...... "Brandon," said Brandon, looking around, "she must hand over that thing and show enough sincerity to give us her bow." ”

"That thing...... "does Morton really exist?" For so many years, I have never seen a rain prayer offered to the rain. ”

"I've heard the elders in my family say that they can't be wrong." Brandon said.

"Hmm......" Colin nodded thoughtfully, agreeing.

While the four family heads were discussing the matter, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley took Mu Yu Qinxin and Eugene Lombal and twenty-four iron guards armed to the teeth to the temple of praying for rain.

She stared at the towering entrance, stepped up the stairs in front of the temple, and walked straight into the temple, when she was stopped by a red-clad guard.

"Please identify yourself ......"

"Smack!" As soon as the other party spoke, he was slapped out by Mu Yu Lily of the Valley. In an instant, I saw the red-clothed guard spitting blood and teeth flying more than ten meters away, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping. fell to the ground for a while, and I didn't know whether I was dead or alive. She is so strong in order to warn those who are ready to make a move, so that they should not rush to take a stand. Otherwise, if she succeeds in becoming the master, she will carry out internal cleansing without mercy.

After passing through the gate, as she walked into the dimly lit candlelit temple and gazed at the familiar statue of the rain god, scenes from her childhood came to mind. Suddenly, she seemed to see her young self, kneeling in front of the idol and praying carefully, and behind her, the kind old woman......

Skirting the statue and entering the arched door at the back, and through a stone passageway, she and her sister came to a hut. Gently pushing the door open, I saw a few candles lit in the hut, a quiet and peaceful scene. It's just that the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant water, which makes people feel nervous. Standing in the doorway and looking in, in the flickering light of the fire, an old woman was lying on a small bed, covered with transparent hoses.

The two sisters suddenly relaxed their steps, quietly came to the bed, and silently watched the old woman who had raised them. At this moment, her eye sockets had sunken deeply, and by the time the lamp ran out......

The slightly flickering candle flame reflected the kind and calm face of the adoptive mother, and heartache, reluctance, longing, helplessness, and pity poured into my heart, making it difficult for myself.

Time flowed quietly, and I don't know how long it was, and I woke up praying for rain. When she saw her two daughters standing in front of the bed, her eyes, which had been godless, suddenly lit up.

"Mother, we're back......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley called softly.

"It's good to be back...... It's good to be back......" said the old woman with a weak nodding head. At this time, the two sisters were about to step forward, but she stopped them with her eyes. Then, with great difficulty, she lifted the quilt, took out a long sword wrapped in rags from her side, handed it to her eldest daughter, and told a dusty story......

"This sword...... It is a relic of a friend from that year...... He sent someone to the southern city...... Please help him...... Put the remains of comrades-in-arms ...... Sent back to the end of the world...... He is a Holy Wolf Guardian...... also died in that brutal war...... This sword...... He left it to me...... The only thought ...... It also symbolizes ...... The remnants of the north and our ...... of the Temple of Prayer for Rain Friendship ......"

"My life...... Never used it... Because whenever I see it...... will think of him...... I can't help the torment of that longing...... Today...... I'm going to see him...... He once said...... He will wait for me in heaven......"

"Now...... I'll pass it on to you...... Please remember...... It represents camaraderie ...... Instead of killing......"

As if in the light of day, the old woman suddenly struggled to her feet, and untied the strips of cloth that were wrapped around the sword. The dim hut suddenly shimmered with silver light, and the walls were snow-white with the shining blade of the sword. Upon closer inspection, it was a gorgeous and delicate silver sword, the hilt of which was inlaid with red, yellow, and blue gemstones, and was emitting a faint shimmer.

"It's called the Elegy of the Sky, and it's one of the three artifacts made by the Northern Remnant with the power core of the Eden, and it's also the most powerful, representing the power to tear the sky apart."

"Please make good use of it......" After handing the sword to Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, the old woman lay down again. As if tired, she didn't speak again, just quietly stared at the ceiling.

After a long time, the old woman turned her head, looked at the two daughters, and called softly, "Lily of the valley...... Hearts ......"

"Mommy......" the two sisters replied in unison.

"You have to live well...... Be humble among sisters...... Mutual Love...... Please remember...... Lily of the valley represents happiness...... The heart of the piano represents happiness...... Mom wants you to ...... Happily ever after...... Happy Forever...... Happiness...... Happy...... Happiness...... Happy ......," the old woman repeated, her voice getting quieter and quieter......

Her love is like her life, as quiet as a lake, as long as a stream, as solemn as a mountain, and as warm as a fire.

When they recovered from their stupor, and finally realized that their loved ones had left forever, their feet suddenly went limp, and they fell on the edge of the bed, and began to sobbed quietly......

There is no worse death in the world, the most painful pain.

The next morning, the two sisters, who were red-eyed, called the nuns over and asked them to say goodbye to the rain sacrifice one by one. In the end, they took another look at their mother, who seemed to be asleep, and the white sheets that had been covered for her. Next, they gathered all the nuns and staff and arranged the follow-up.

Prayers, burials, vigils, and ......

During the funeral, the major nobles, major forces, city officials, and civil organizations of the thirteenth silver city sent people to the temple to mourn the old woman who had guarded them for many years. At the same time, the thirteenth silver city lowered the flag at half-mast and mourned the city.

When the news of the fall of the rain sacrifice reached Iron Mountain, scavengers, homeless people, vendors, and townspeople also sat in silence, after all, everyone had eaten her cheese bread and received a little favor to a greater or lesser extent. Although it is not a lot, in this dark and bleak world, it is like a trace of fire, which makes people's hearts warm.

At this moment, on a corner of the street of Iron Mountain Town, a little boy was crying quietly, and behind him, an old man with one eye was caressing his back and sighing quietly.

"Alas...... Cry cry cry, you know crying, it's really useless! ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Pray for rain and sacrifice is dead, we ...... Do we still have cheese bread to eat this year? The little boy asked, sobbing.

"There must be...... old man guessed, but the little boy cried even harder.

"Woooooooooo......oo You said it should...... That is, there is no ......" "Maybe there is?" "I want to eat cheese bread, and I want the blessing of the rain god." "Alas...... Good people don't live long, but disasters live for thousands of years. ”

"I wish I could live forever so that we would always have cheese bread to eat." The little boy said suddenly.

"She's still alive, she's gone to heaven, where there must be many old friends waiting for her." The old man said.

"What are you waiting for her to do? Do they want cheese bread too? The little boy asked curiously.

"Cheese bread in heaven is whatever you want, they don't need it." The old man explained.

"Then why are they waiting for her?" The little boy asked.

"Perhaps......," said the old man, smiling lewdly, "they want something else." Before he knew it, the old man wanted to be crooked......
