Chapter 20: Mother Earth
The fragrance of bluebell tea.
The camel hair carpet is soft and cozy, and the golden camel hair spreads all over the room, making it feel like you are in the desert. A brown stone ball floated on the roof of the room, without any fulcrum, and the ball floated out of thin air, slowly rotating in the air at the same speed as Pavatiga rotated.
Under the stone ball, a coffee table, two soft chairs, green smoke rising from the incense burner, two people lying on the soft chairs, quietly tasting the mellow aroma of bluebell tea.
There is no resplendent decoration, no art that fills the walls, except for the cozy carpet, everything is plain, as elegant and pure as the countenance of its owner.
This is the headquarters of the Earth Temple, but it is not an external reception room, but Archbishop Judy's private meditation room, and it is also the most mysterious place in the Earth Temple except for the central room, which has never been entered by outsiders since Archbishop Judy succeeded him.
Shure was the first, and probably the only one.
Shure sat across from Judy, and at this time, he no longer had the banter and playfulness that he usually wore on his face, nor was he solemn or serious, but just stared calmly at the brown stone ball that swirled overhead, as if this stone ball had a great attraction.
"I was thinking about it, but it's time for you to come over. Gently putting down the teacup, Judy smiled gracefully, "As a result, you're already outside the door, hehe, the reaction is a lot faster than I thought." ”
"Who did this? Shure was neither happy nor angry, as if he was just talking about a small matter that had nothing to do with him.
"Does it matter?" Judy asked, smiling, "Do you really need to find out?"
"Oh, yes, it doesn't matter whose proposal it is, what matters is that the Temple of the Gods approves of it. Shul shook his head and smiled, "Actually, they don't need to worry about it at all. ”
"If you're just a Battle Priest Shuer, of course no one will worry, not even if it's just Lord Luna's subordinate god. Judy tilted her head slightly, with a somewhat mischievous look, "But you're not, Lord Shuer, whether it is the master of strategy or the master of coordination, the future is one of the greatest existences, and he controls the entire rift space with one hand, how can no one worry?"
"Hehe, who knows what the future holds. Shuer drank the last sip of bluebell tea, looked at the stone ball and said, "I'm in a hurry, I should do these little things after I come back." ”
"So what?" asked Judy noncommittally, "are you ready to continue?"
"Of course it continues. Xiuer replied as a matter of course, "It's a normal small action, it's not a big deal, and there is no actual threat, except for the fact that the small action comes from the gods, which makes people feel complicated, there is nothing else unexpected, how can it affect the previous agreement." ”
"And, I think so. Judy nodded, "However, I have never been able to figure out why you had to enter my lord's dream. ”
"Isn't that what Lord Kaeya and you are asking for, Lord Judy. Shuer replied jokingly, "How can I say that I have to do this?"
"Oh, is it?" Judy was not angry, and said leisurely, "Okay, then the agreement is canceled, and you don't have to enter, my lord will wake up soon, and we will talk about it in detail when the time comes." ”
"Ahem, an agreement is an agreement. Shuer coughed a few times, why didn't he see him for a few days, and this female fox became more difficult to deal with. In the past, although she was cunning, she was at least affected by emotions, but when she saw it today, even the loophole of her emotions disappeared, "Okay, I admit it, I do have my own thoughts, but to be honest, my thoughts are too ...... It's better not to be private, otherwise, you will probably find it very troublesome. ”
"Is this a warning?"
"No, that's a statement. Shure shook his head and said, "Just like what you just asked me, mortals already have countless troubles, and there are some things that don't need to be answered to cause more trouble for yourself, at least not for you. ”
"Oh, because I'm just a mortal and don't have the right to know?"
"Heh, it's not that it's not qualified, but it's unnecessary, and there is an essential difference between the two. Shul sighed in a low voice, it is said that with Judy's mind and identity, she should not be so obsessed with this issue, just like Shull just said, this is not something she must know, but since she has already asked, Shull had to explain, "Don't pursue this issue anymore, I know that you want to eliminate possible unstable factors for Lord Kaeya in advance, but...... I'll explain it to Kaeya when I can face her. ”
"Huh. Judy did not comment on Shul's answer, but leaned back into the chaise longue and tilted her head to look at Shul.
"I ...... Wait......" Shuer's movement to put down the teacup suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, he raised his head little by little as if his muscles were stiff, and met Judy's gaze, "Lord Kaeya?"
"Huh. ”
No wonder, no wonder she felt that something was wrong with this she-fox just now, without the original cunning and-for-tat feeling in her words, and always felt a little strange, and then linked to her obsession with asking some questions that only Kaeya of Mother Earth should ask, Shure understood that sitting in front of him was probably no longer Archbishop Judy of the Mother Earth Church, but Mother Earth herself.
However, wasn't she asleep, so that even such a thing as calming down the chaos of the leyline's energy had to be done by Judy, how could she suddenly descend into Judy's body? It stands to reason that it is impossible for a sleeping god to come down casually. And, more importantly, when did she come? Why didn't she feel anything at all?
It would never have been there from the beginning, and Shure could be sure that at least when we met just now, Judy was definitely herself, so it could only come at some point in the course of the conversation. However, this act of the will of the gods descended was quite obvious to the priests, and as a senior high-ranking priest, it was impossible for Shur not to feel it.
It's weird.
"Well, it's Mistress Kaeya. Shuer stood up awkwardly and stroked his chest and saluted, knowing the identity of the other party, it would be a little inappropriate to lie down like this again, "I thought you needed to prepare in your dreams all the time, but I didn't expect you to be able to descend into Judy-sama's body." I always thought it was Judy-sama, and I don't know when you came, it's really rude, and I ask for your pardon. ”
Still no answer, Judy, or Kaeya, just smiled quietly.
"Or put it another way. Shuer suddenly understood something, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I...... When did you get into your dreams?"
"Oh, smart. ”
