Chapter 68: As Always
"Praise the clear water, praise the purifying water, praise the Holy Spirit, holy. Standing on the high platform, standing beside Archbishop Orana, the minor Archbishop of the Darkmoon Temple, Lord Lisa, raised his hand, and the glimmer of light fell, and particles of glittering dust fell from the sky and fell on everyone's heads and shoulders, making all the audience feel as if they had just soaked in hot water.
More and more people are gathering in the square, and new spectators are constantly joining to ask the people around them about the abnormal situation in front of them, which is really unexpected, and it is rare to see the priests of other churches on the stage during the opening speech of the Water Curtain Festival, and it was ...... last time When was the last time it came, it was a long time ago, anyway.
The audience below exchanged their heads and ears, but the two priests on the high platform were calm, always facing the water believers below with the characteristic smile of the priests.
I'm so calm and calm, I'm already crying, okay?
Being stared at by tens of thousands of people, Lisa's legs are trembling, if it weren't for the light makeup, I'm afraid there would be no blood on her face, goddess sister bless, it turned out to be stared at by many people, it's such a terrible thing, I really don't know how my brother can get used to such a scene, can I go down and hide for a while.
Fortunately, Xiu'er's usual exercise has played its due effect, even if the girl is crying frantically in her heart, she is still silent on the surface, and the large-scale magic is also released casually, accurately.
According to the practice of previous years, after the speeches of the Archbishop of Orlana and His Majesty the Emperor, the parade around the city officially ended, followed by a carnival of the whole city, and the citizens spontaneously formed a procession, changed into various strange costumes, played the role of monsters and war officials, and staged a play in the streets and alleys in which intelligent creatures defeated monsters and won the right to live. The royal family provided plenty of food and drink for everyone to enjoy, and sweat and laugh until the sun rose in the morning.
But this year, it seems that this event will be postponed for dozens of minutes, and the believers know that Lord Orlana has brought others to the stage at this time, and the intention is self-evident.
The more core believers had long known that someone from the Darkmoon Temple was going to speak at the ceremony, but to their surprise, the current situation was obviously not so simple, and Lord Orlana actually asked the other party to show his divine grace before him, I am afraid that the Water Temple will have another ally.
Not only were the believers surprised, even the Emperor who was sitting in the rest area of the high platform, although he was smiling as usual, but there was also a stunned look in his eyes, the secrecy measures of both sides were done well, and even His Majesty the Emperor did not know in advance, seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, heh, it seems that Xiu'er's idea of keeping secrets in advance is still very effective.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this one beside me is the Archbishop of the Dark Moon Temple, the mortal walker of the Lightless Moon, and the apostle of the goddess Luna, Archbishop Lisa, seeing this scene, everyone should have guessed in their hearts, yes, today, on behalf of the Water Temple, I invite you to witness the alliance ceremony between the Water Temple and the Dark Moon Temple. Orana's voice spread throughout the city under the spread of countless sound circles, "Praise the Moon of Protection, praise the Moon of Lightlessness, praise the Holy Spirit, holy." ”
After a brief introduction, Orlana smiled kindly and nodded to Lisa, giving up her position in the center.
The girl stood for a moment, then took a step forward and stood in Orana's original position, looking down at the crowd of black pressure below. Huh, sister goddess, Grandpa Summer, you are all watching, my brother has done this, and the glory of the gods will be guarded by me and my brother in the future. Brother, don't worry, I know your intentions, this is my stage, my battlefield, I will work with you to continue to win on this special battlefield.
Taking a deep breath, Lisa put aside all distractions and began her first battle under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
"Are you really good like this?" In the corner under the high platform, there was a group of people sneaking out of the sight of the spectators, forming a pile and looking at the high platform, and the probe looked very suspicious, if it weren't for the majestic Archbishop Minnie beside him, I am afraid that the city guards who maintained order would have come to inquire about it. Angela, who was supposed to be sitting in the rest area to watch the ceremony, was actually present, looking at Lisa on the high platform with a little uneasiness, and reproached in a low voice, "Since the alliance was confirmed, that fool has always thought that you were the one who came to the stage to speak, and you only told her this afternoon that she would appear, she was not prepared at all, in case she behaved badly, although Lord Luna would not blame her, but she was afraid that she would blame herself for a long, long time." ”
"Heh, you really care about her. ”
"Who cares about her anymore, you idiot. Angela couldn't even find an excuse to explain, so she could only blush and try to hide it.
"She has long been mentally prepared, this is her responsibility, it is the task given to her by Archbishop Summer, heh, in fact, as early as five years ago, before I appeared, she was already mentally prepared to take over this responsibility, but she was too young at that time, I took care of this responsibility for her for a few years, and now it is time to return it to her. You see, even if she didn't prepare in advance, she behaved perfectly, didn't she? Even if you went up, it would be nothing more than that. ”
"Hmph, I'm much better than her. Angela wrinkled her nose, but Lisa's performance did make the worry in her heart fade away, well, she already had the intention to provoke, "I can't see it, you guy actually speaks seriously occasionally, isn't it that Lord Luna's benevolent heart has finally washed away the filth in your heart?"
"You're such a fool, you believe what I say, you're a priest, and you don't even think about it, how could she think that I was on the stage, have you ever seen this kind of scene by a battle priest? That's going to make people see the joke, so we've been rehearsing it for days in advance. Facing Angela, who gritted her teeth angrily, Shul sneered disdainfully, "Hey, even a silver fool dares to provoke me." When I speak seriously, you haven't been born yet, and in the face of the elderly, don't you know what respect is?"
Pok, poke, Shuer felt someone next to him poke him: "Eh, in the face of the elderly, you have never understood what respect is." ”
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Moria, who had been holding back for half a night, was happily pointing at her own nose, well, she was really an old man, and there was no room for refutation.
"Be obedient, give you hay, go and nibble on the side. ”
"Hee-hee. Wearing the warm deerskin, Saf secretly smiled shyly, it was so good, two familiar people, familiar noisy, and finally able to go on like this forever, without worrying about that person......
Saf looked up at the VIP rest seat on the high platform, well, it's good, my eyesight is not good, I can't see anything clearly, that person must be on it, I really want to know what method Shull used to make his attitude change so completely.
I think of the dodgy and panic that person showed when he passed by in the afternoon, and this is the first time in my life that I have seen you show such an expression, Father. Oh, it's all over, I'm afraid there will be no intersection between us in the future, as a daughter, let me wish you peace for the rest of your life one last time. But I won't miss you, Father, never.
Saf was looking at the position of Count Sullivan on the high platform in a daze, thinking about his own thoughts, so he didn't notice that at some point, Angela had pulled Shur aside, and even released the Isolation Realm.
"What are you going to do, I declare in advance, I'm not interested in children, I'm not interested in stupid, I'm not interested in savage guys, even if you want to seduce me, at least put on ...... Stop, put away the scepter, put away the holy things, have something to say, and don't cause bloodshed at the festival. ”
When it's time to back down, you must back down, otherwise you will be beaten.
"I really want to kill you. Angela glared at Shul angrily and asked in a low voice, "When I saw this female swordsman, I suddenly remembered one thing, you don't really want to give her father's confession to Lord Luna." ”
"Don't make a fuss, serve the gods, what should be concealed must be concealed, how can I be considered a high-level priest, how can I do such an unprofessional thing. Shuer pursed his lips, "Let my lord know that the mortal she just guarded turned his head and cursed her, even if she didn't care, she couldn't be happy, so I wouldn't do such a stupid thing to deliberately upset her." ”
"So you know, I know that if you didn't say it earlier, my lord sent an oracle to remind me...... Not. Suddenly covering her mouth, the girl looked around casually, pretending that she hadn't said anything just now.
"Oh, praise the Bright Moon, and thank Lord Diana for her love, both to my Lord and to me. It was rare that Shul did not tease Angela.
"So what are you going to do?" Compared to Lisa and Saf, Angela has been in contact with people with complex attitudes and knows that some things are not so simple, "If he recovers later, I am afraid that he will not be as honest as he is now." ”
"Count Sullivan? Xiuer glanced at Gao Tai coldly, "After everything is over, I will give that piece of paper to Duke Silver Fox as a gift, I think there is no better gift for an old man who has lost his beloved daughter and endured it for more than ten years." Heh, it may not be easy to force him to death, but I want him to be unable to slow down for a few generations...... Tsk, what are you hiding. ”
Angela secretly took a step to the side, deciding to stay away from this guy in the future.
"Shul, Shul. Shuer followed the voice and looked over, Archbishop Minnie was waving at him, today she did not go to the VIP seat, but accompanied a few people to hide in the corner, which can be regarded as giving face to Shuer.
Seeing that the others didn't follow, Archbishop Minnie nodded with satisfaction: "What are you going to do in the future?"
"You mean Lord Anika's mission?"
"No, that's going to take a while, and there's some work to be done. Minnie shook her head, "Literally, I'm just asking you what your plans are." ”
"As always, nothing will change. ”
"Even if you already know what the future holds?"
"Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, don't you have to live a normal life today?" Shure shrugged, "But don't worry, I will try to live and will not delay Lord Anika's mission." ”
"It's good that you know, the future will be more and more dangerous, try to survive. Minnie was silent for a moment, then added, "Not only for my lord's mission, but also for Moria. ”
"I understand, thank you. ”
"Oh~~~" The tidal cheers interrupted the conversation between the two, and the speech on the high platform had ended, which meant that the Water Curtain Festival had officially begun.
"Everyone. When the cheers wore off, Shur clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the members of the Darkmoon Sanctuary around him, "This mission is over, enjoy the celebration you have never experienced before, and we will leave for home in two days." ”
"In such a hurry?"
"No way, we are not as laid-back as your Silver Moon Temple, in ten days, the apostles of Lord Simon of the Sky will be waiting for me to meet in the Temple of the Gods, this is a big business, hehe, a big business that people can't wait. Moria, when the time comes, you will go back with us, and you will have a new job. ”
"But I've been moulting lately. ”
"Then go too!"
