Chapter 6: The Temple of Water

Among the gods, if any of the believers came up and asked for Shur to kick him, there was only one possibility, and Shul didn't even have to use his brain to guess who was so obsessed with his ass.

"Lisa, remember, when you meet people wearing this kind of robes in the future, try to stay away as much as possible, they are very violent, and they like to kick people's butts for no reason. ”

"Uh-huh, I remember. The girl nodded vigorously, hehe, don't ask, it must be my brother who has done something bad again, thinking about it, the girl still nodded in agreement with a serious face, but, looking at this girl's clothes, it should belong to the mortal walker of a certain god, so that people, are you really not afraid of the gods to blame? Divine punishment is very terrible, even if it is only a punitive punishment.

"Don't be afraid. Xiu'er waved his hand indifferently, "It's not so easy to send down divine punishment, it is impossible to master this ability so quickly, don't worry, the goddess she serves...... I'm sorry I was wrong, please forgive me, I'll just turn around and kick you. ”

It seems that what is complicated for mortals does not seem to be so troublesome for the gods, even if it is just a newborn god, it can be easily done.

A few simple words, but the distance between the two sides has been shortened a lot, at least the swarthy girl looks a lot more relaxed, the little guy began to seem to be very afraid of life, has been hiding behind the old archbishop, only curious big eyes are bright, but at this time knowing Shuer's identity, she is no longer afraid of life, and has been following Shuer's back and around, like a tail, causing Lisa to look unhappy.

Of course, Saf is unhappy, mainly because she is dissatisfied with her place being robbed, but the female swordsman is an adult after all, and she can't meet the same as an underage girl who meets for the first time.

Laughing and laughing, the group had already stepped off the high platform and walked slowly along the streets of the Lion City.

Although the Rose City is also prosperous, it is only a capital under the jurisdiction of a duke after all, and compared to the Lion City, it has lost a lot in momentum. The Lion City is the capital of the Emerald Empire and represents the face of the Emerald Empire, so whether it is commercial or civil, all the buildings are built in a very atmospheric manner, and you can feel the momentum at a glance.

The inhabitants of the Lion City also carry the typical self-confidence of the inhabitants of the imperial capital, even if they are only civilians, they can see the pride that is faintly revealed in them, proud of the city they live in, proud of the capital.

Even in the face of the aristocracy, the attitude of the commoners has hardened a lot, most of them can maintain an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, it can be seen that in the end, in the end, it is the capital, under the gaze of the emperor, the officials dare not do too much, if it is in some small territory cities in the countryside, the nobles have the power of life and death to the commoners, and the attitude of the commoners will be significantly different.

The bluestone-paved road seemed to be regularly repaired, and the pavement was smooth and clean, and there was no sign of wear and tear to be seen, which was completely different from that of some poor temple. The building is also made of blue stone, which is a property of the nearby Winged Mountain, well, that's right, named in honor of the wheat-heavy winged people.

Different from the pavement, the cyan buildings are simple and heavy, the walls are mottled with time, every notch, every crack, may represent a touching story, caressing the wall, as if you can feel thousands of years of history coming from between.

The further you go, the less people flow, the more sparse the building, but the larger the scale of the building, especially after leaving the inner city, you often can't see a single person for a long distance, only the various noisy sounds of the craftsmen, coming from the surrounding buildings that serve as factories.

Wendy's temple, Lord of Lakes and Rivers, is located in the middle of nowhere, less than two kilometers from the inner city walls. Linda and McRae, who joined halfway, breathed a lot heavier, and the two children of the Dark Moon Temple, Eddie and Sophie, also walked out of breath, but Lisa, who was also a minor, and the first substitute of the Lord of the Desert and Oasis both looked relaxed, and it seemed that this swarthy little girl's strength was not so simple.

As soon as they approached the Temple of Water, Shul and Lisa sighed at the same time.

This is a normal temple.

Occupying at least one square kilometer, the towering temple building is magnificent, and the long chant comes out from the temple, as if the divine voice is transmitted from the kingdom of God to the mortal world, and on the square, there is an endless stream of believers who come to the main hall to worship, and many believers have to kneel and bow down every step they take to show their devotion to the gods.

In front of the hall, the female statue of a middle-aged woman exudes a sacred atmosphere, although it is not a holy icon, but it carries more power of faith, and it will also be dyed with the brilliance of the goddess.

"Welcome to the realm of my lord Wendy. As soon as he ascended the stone steps, the archbishop, who had been walking side by side with Shullisa, suddenly took a few quick steps forward with the other water priests, and entered the temple first. After they entered the door, of course, they did not walk away on their own, but turned around, led by the archbishop, and the six priests lined up behind them, and came out again, until they walked through the door of the temple before stopping, "I, Orana, the servant of the Lord of the Lakes and Rivers, on behalf of all the believers of Lord Wendy, thank you for traveling thousands of kilometers to participate in the celebration of the Water Curtain Festival, and may the friendship between the river and the moonlight never fade." ”

This is the most formal welcome ceremony.

In the past, greeting at the harbor of the float boat was just a means of showing closeness and respect, and it was not a formal ceremony. But now it is different, before entering the temple, the archbishop of the gods personally greets him, representing the highest level of courtesy, not only for the people of the Darkmoon Temple, but also for everyone to see, as a declaration of the close relationship between the two parties.

At this time, the situation is different, and if Shuer comes forward to deal with it, it will seem arrogant, and it is only understandable that the person with the highest status in the team must respond to the other party, but Lisa, who is underage, is participating in this kind of activity for the first time, can she really do all this?

As it turns out, yes.

"The river flows endlessly, the dark moon hangs in the sky forever, and the friendship between the river and the moonlight will never change like the Lord you and I serve. Lisa took a deep breath, shook Shure's hand vigorously, and then resolutely let go, took two steps forward and walked ahead of everyone, and replied calmly, "In the name of my lord, I, Lisa, the servant of the Aphotic Moon, on behalf of all of the Darkmoon Temple, offer a congratulatory gift to the Water Curtain Celebration, may the rushing waters never cease, and may the waters of tranquility remain clear forever." ”

In a perfect response, in front of the worshippers who were shocked by the sudden solemnity inside and outside the temple, he publicly offered carefully selected congratulatory gifts, which not only responded to the other party's declaration, but also showed enough respect for Wendy-sama, so that both parties got a satisfactory result.

Very good, although the voice is slightly stiff due to excessive tension, but the words and actions are very decent, and the response does not make the dark moon dusty, it seems that Lisa has really grown up and can face it independently.

Looking at the girl's back, Xiuer sighed secretly, his slightly melancholy gaze was quite complicated, his vision seemed to span endless time and space, he saw decades ago, saw his hometown, saw the familiar immature figure, and for the first time he was forced to face the outside world. This time, I will never let the tragedy happen again, I promise.

It was only then that a slight commotion came out from among the unknown believers in the vicinity, and quickly spread to the surrounding crowd.

It's amazing, look at the feet of Archbishop Orlana, who has stepped beyond the temple gates. How long has it been since Lord Orana has personally gone out to greet visitors? Not to mention those members of the Imperial Family and even the Emperor himself, the two Archbishops of the God of War and the Lord of the Mountains came to visit together a few days ago, and Lord Orlana only greeted the door, and did not step out of the door.

That's the servant of two powerful gods, especially the god of war, the believers have already exceeded 10 million, and the strength is unimaginable, the servant of these two people is not qualified to let Lord Orlana come out, who is coming now, is it the servant of the Lord of the Sea and the Storm or the Lord of Ice and Snow, who is also the main god of the water system?

What?Goddess of the Dark Moon?Who is that?I have vaguely heard of this name, it turns out that there is such a god, but what is the Moonless Moon? Is there any other moon in the sky besides Lady Silvermoon? I can't see it, and it's too nonexistent.

For a while, all kinds of whispered inquiries continued to echo inside and outside the temple gate, and it seems that the matter of Lord Orlana's arrival will be passed on for a long time, even if it is just as an after-dinner conversation, but there will be many, many people, remember the name of Luna, the goddess of the dark moon.

Ahem, I'm really sorry for not having a sense of existence, Shuer rolled his eyes frantically in his consciousness, but he knew that this time he owed a lot of favor.

The affairs of the temple are essentially no different from secular political affairs, especially the communication between the two temples, many things do not need to be said explicitly, and cannot be said explicitly, they are all reflected through the small details between words and deeds.

Orlana is not a fanatic like Kelly, she has been an archbishop for decades, and has been keeping the huge Water Temple developing steadily, naturally it is very standard, and what her words and deeds represent, she must know better than anyone else.

Because she knows it, the attitude she shows is very interesting.

Yes, Shuer did a great favor to the Water God Temple, adding a god to the Water God Department, which made a great contribution to the improvement of the strength of the God Department. But this is only the relationship between the commission and the commission, and the establishment of a friendly temple relationship between the two parties is enough to repay his contribution, who knew that as soon as they officially met, the other party sent such a big surprise.

There is no love in the world for no reason, even between temples, it is impossible to give a big gift for no reason, and Orlana must have her deep considerations in doing so.

"Heh, it seems that this water curtain festival is not as simple as imagined. Tapping his thigh, Shul smiled thoughtfully.
