Chapter 1: The Temple of Revival

"Xi Xi Suo, Xi Xi Suo", the sound of small footsteps, accompanied by the early morning mist, sounded in the depths of the Dark Moon Temple, and the footsteps continued again and again, as if someone was pacing there repeatedly, walking for half an hour.

The insects had stopped, the birds had not yet sounded, and at five o'clock in the morning, it was the quietest time of the day, and the entire inner courtyard of the Dark Moon Temple was silent, only the faint sound of footsteps lingered in the dark inner court.

After a year, the Temple of the Dark Moon has undergone drastic changes, and if you haven't visited it in the last time, you probably can't believe that this is the old and dilapidated endangered building in the past, full of ruins and broken walls.

The previous works have been completed, the abandoned building materials accumulated in the temple for hundreds of years have been completely emptied, the half-collapsed stone hall, the tilted stone pillars, only half of the statues remained, and the decaying wooden houses have all been cleaned up, and walking in the temple, there is finally no need to be afraid of being smashed and injured by the garbage that has been close to these histories, not to mention the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes that occasionally emerge from the rubble pile, losing their habitat for hundreds of years, and they can only move helplessly.

The floor was re-paved with stone bricks and slabs, cut from the black gravel best suited to symbolize the dark moon, heavy, sturdy, and understated, like the lightless moon hanging high in the canopy. The places that were not covered by the stone brick floor and stone road were already full of plants, and with the friendly assistance of the Forest Temple, the transplanted flowers and shrubs had become thriving in only a short time, although the price was that a dozen or so forest spirits had been tossing in the temple for a month, so that the Rose City was not at peace, but the great Lord Lisa felt that it was still worth it, and it was not only her own family who was tossed, and the entire outer city of the Rose City had endured a month's ordeal, and there was nothing unbalanced in her heart.

The effect is excellent, through the efforts of the forest spirits, the Dark Moon Temple has become the most beautiful of the five main halls of the Rose City, between the majestic temple buildings, the green grass is like a brocade of flowers, along the heavy stone road all the way through, in the breeze and the fragrance of flowers, listen to the teachings of the Dark Moon Goddess.

Uh, of course, if you ignore all the screaming grass dotted around the lawn.

In the process of transplanting plants, the forest spirits accidentally mixed the seeds of some of the endemic plants of the Maika Forest Scream Grass into the seeds of the regular lawn, and then planted them together in the Darkmoon Temple. This screaming grass is no different from ordinary lawn grass, and it can even help the surrounding plants better absorb the nutrients from the ground, making them grow healthier and more lush, and its only drawback is that it will ...... Scream.

Yes, usually nothing is wrong, and you can't notice anything unusual at all, but once the screaming grass is damaged a little, it will emit a piercing scream, although this kind of scream for self-protection is not particularly loud, but it is abrupt and sharp, enough to scare people into fear. One day, after listening to the sermon reverently, a group of lovers were wandering hand in hand on the lawn of the outer courtyard of the temple, muttering to each other in their sideburns, and suddenly a terrible and shrill scream sounded under their feet, well, something similar had already happened.

For this reason, the believers of the Darkmoon are quite distressed, but for them laymen, there is no way to solve the problem, Screaming Grass is extremely difficult to distinguish from ordinary Voltaine grass, unless all the lawns are removed, I am afraid that the nightmare of Screaming Grass will only continue forever, it is really ...... Congratulations.

However, there is a good and bad thing in everything, and this virtually solves a big problem that plagues most temples. Temples with a large number of worshippers always faced a problem, the temple was visited by a large number of people every day, and these worshippers preferred to move on vegetation when they were active in the outer courtyard rather than stone paths, resulting in repeated trampling of vegetation and so much damage that a large amount of money was invested every year to replenish the destroyed plants. And the number of believers in the Darkmoon Temple has skyrocketed in the past year, and the natives of the Rose Capital alone have an average of five believers visiting every day, cough cough, it is already a lot for the Darkmoon Church, but it never needs to face the problem of trampling on vegetation, it must be admitted that this is the biggest credit of the Screaming Grass, well, it's just that the inner court is good if there are no such things.

In the eyes of the Darkmoon believers, the Screaming Grass is a lingering nightmare, but in the eyes of the other group, the Screaming Grass is simply the cutest plant, selflessly providing them with a rich entertainment experience in their extracurricular life.

That's right, it's the students of the Temple of Knowledge and Wisdom at the First School of the Darkmoon Church. The name of the school is outrageous, but it can't be helped, this is the result of many deliberations, and it can no longer be changed, so when every student writes about himself, he will silently complain about the decision of the name, well, it is an innocent priest.

Over the past year, the number of students in this strange new school has increased, and by now it is close to two hundred, which I have to admit is a very staggering number, and even one of the founders of the school, the acting headmaster, Ms. Suff, did not expect the number of students to grow so quickly.

However, if you think about it, you are not stupid, and seeing that the number of believers in the Temple of the Dark Moon has increased significantly, and the temple itself is becoming more and more valued by other temples, parents are of course more willing to send their children to study for the work-study opportunity of helping in the temples. Not only the low-level civilian families, but even some small nobles or small businessmen wanted to send their second son and second daughter to the school of the Dark Moon Temple, also for this opportunity to serve the temple.

Ms. Saf did not refuse to come, education did not distinguish between high and low, and the capacity of the school is not yet saturated, and it is not time to compete for admission resources, so there is no need to choose between high and low. As for whether a certain provost has charged some resource occupation fee in the name of the temple in the name of a temple by a certain provost, well, Ms. Saph's eyesight is not very good, and she can't see clearly.

Nowadays, the favorite amusement of these children in the school is to step on the screaming grass, and when it is time for the end of class, the children will flock out and run around on the lawn of the temple's outer courtyard, and whoever is lucky enough to trigger the scream will be the envy of all the children. To be honest, it's a boring entertainment, but for the sake of them being locked up in the classroom every day during the day, and their energy is nowhere to vent, I can't criticize them.

Fortunately, the Screaming Grass generally only rages in the outer court, and does not have much impact on the inner court of the dark moon. After all, there are very few core personnel who can enter the inner courtyard, and after knowing about the screaming grass, they often deliberately avoid the lawn and choose to take the formal stone path, so there are few abrupt screams in the inner courtyard.

However, this morning, after half an hour of shredded footsteps, the silence of the temple was suddenly broken by a piercing scream, accompanied by the wailing of the screaming grass, and the screams from the maiden.

Lisa's cry.
