Chapter 53: Funerals and Rituals I

Possessed by a demon, Shilinya is very sure that Kayla must be possessed by a demon, because the other party's eyes are always on the book behind her. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Perhaps it was because the book behind him had attracted the attention of the demon in Kayla's body, so Shilinya was able to communicate with Kayla normally for the rest of the day. However, in the time after this, Kayla was reluctant to leave Shilinya for half a step, whether it was bathing or sleeping, and she also did not want to communicate with others too much.

A large temple is piled up from the ground with white and blue marble, and there is a large amount of stained glass describing various myths and stories on top of the temple, and the large wooden door that enters the temple is ten meters high, and it is necessary to use various levers to open such a gate, and there are exquisite wood carvings and paintings on the wooden door.

Beyond the gate, there is a 30-meter-high marble sculpture that is almost as high as the temple behind it, which is the sculpture of Leverdeon, the god of the cycle of life and death. Leverdeon is the deity in charge of the cycle of life and death, wearing a robe that wraps around the whole body, and the large hood on his head completely obscures the deity's face. The deity who presides over the cycle of life and death is also a model of justice and integrity, and the sculpture depicts Raffedion holding a scale in his right hand, representing justice, and every soul that reaches him will be judged justly, and a scavenger who hates all undead creatures who violate the natural path of the cycle of life and death, and the flaming sword in his left hand represents his determination to kill all undead creatures.

The decoration of the temple, the rather ornate and intricate religious frescoes, the various gold and silver utensils arranged in the interior of the temple, the huge chandelier hanging from the roof twenty meters high, and a miniature statue of Leverdeon in the middle of the temple, all indicate the wealth of the church of Leverdeon.

Shilinya was in this huge temple, and she had to admit that this one church had extraordinary influence in the entire empire, almost on an equal footing with the church of Gavion, the god of war and domination, whom the rulers tried their best to admire, but the latter did not have such a large financial support and source compared to it.

War and domination are things that the ruling class should worry about, but the cycle of life and death is something that every ordinary person has to worry about.

Now it is just a branch of the Church of Leverdeon in the city of Anjitan, but the level of luxury and luxury is comparable to that of various palaces in the fairy tales of the earth, and the value of it is even more than that. The small temple in Luou Town is not at all comparable to it, and on the one hand, it also reflects how great the difference in the nature of this region is.

Although he had heard about the wealth of the Church of Leverdeon, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still frightened by the reality of the other party. When she was in Luou, Shilinya was skeptical of all the richness she heard from Dalton about the richness of the Church of Leverdeon, because the small temple in the town was just an ordinary little house.

Today is the burial day of the long-missing Duchess Alicia, and the bishop of the Church of Leverdeon has prepared for it in advance, from various personnel arrangements and various utensils to use.

There were many people who came to attend the funeral, and the variety was very rich, including elves, orcs, and humans, among which, Shilinya also found several white orcs from the Western Continent. In addition to the fact that many of these races were important figures in the local political and business circles, there were also many vassals who fought side by side on the battlefield of Cold Creek, and Duke Ian, an enemy a few days ago, sent his own envoys to attend the funeral.

Shirinya pulled Kayla who was clinging to her to bypass the large crowd and reach a more secluded side of the temple. Here, Kane waited for the arrival of the other early.

"Kayla, now follow Uncle Kane to the temple and perform a simple ritual, don't worry that it won't hurt. Shilinya softly ordered the little girl who was clinging to her waist, "Listen to your sister, okay?"

Kayla held Shilinya's hand even harder, as if she would be separated from the other party by yin and yang if she was not careful, and Shilinya's order did not have any intention of being executed.

"Don't do this, okay?" gently stroked the other party's slightly curled long hair, trying to let the other party relax, but Kayla did not let go because of this, on the contrary, the other party was more powerful, making Shilinya, who was being held, feel very painful.

In desperation, Shilinya could only ask Kane on the side for help, hoping that this mage leader could use his skills to control the other party.

Compared with Shilinya's gentle policy, Kane's approach is violent and direct, relying on the advantage of physical fitness to directly drag the little girl around Shilinya's waist away, but Kane, as a court mage, should know the severity of the attack, right?

Watching Kayla, who was almost crying, being dragged away, Shirinya didn't feel good.

Yesterday, after learning about Kayla's description, Shilinya immediately discussed the matter with the court mage Kane, and in the end, both of them came to the conclusion that Kayla was possessed by a demon. After communicating with Alain, it was agreed that Kayla would be taken to the temple of Leverdeon for purification during the funeral. However, at the end of the discussion, Kane also wanted to study Shilinya's sleep problems at night as reported by Dalefield, but these were rejected by Shilinya one by one.

If it weren't for the purification, the sooner the better, and Raffedion's temple had a strict schedule, and there was no funeral ritual for Kayla.

The purification ritual is not to do something inhumane, but to make people stand in the middle of the priesthood, and the shaman keeps chanting scriptures to the target to drive away the demons that possess him.

With enough confidence in such a formal organization, Shilinya did not waste too much time here, because there was a second funeral for her mother to be held here, although it felt strange, but she could not afford to slack off in the slightest.

Kane dragged the struggling Kayla to an inconspicuous door to the temple, where a godmother was waiting for her arrival.

This is a young godmother, the pure white robe on her body completely envelops the other party's body, the wide hood covers the other party's hair, only a few golden slightly curly hairs are exposed in the gap between the hoods, the white veil completely covers the other party's face, only a pair of purple, emotionless eyes are displayed in front of the world.

"Please leave this little lady to me. "Delicate and mature voice, but there is no emotion to speak of.

Kane felt that this godmother was a little suspicious, not only the other party's voice without any emotion, but also the other party's purple eyes displayed in front of him. It seems that in his own cognition, except for the Imperial Imperial Family of Tanny Arin, there are few people with such purple eyes.

"Who is Your Excellency? I don't think I've seen you. Kane asked the other party uneasily, and there was a big problem with the other party's eyes and the tone of his voice.

"I'm new here, Godmother Rosan. Master Kane has been out on the road for many years, so it makes sense that he doesn't know me. It was still such an inorganic tone, and the gaze of the godmother who called herself Roshan was like a pool of stagnant water, and there was not necessarily any fluctuation at all.

"Really?" the other party's answer did not alleviate Kane's doubts, because the other party behaved like a machine, or a puppet, without any emotional changes or mood swings, which had to be suspicious.

"I want to see Priest Adam, who is presiding over the ceremony!" Kane did not believe the other man's words, and now it was safest to call out his acquaintance and confront him in person.

Rosanne's godmother didn't resist Kane's request, but tapped lightly on the door behind her, and called out to Kane in a voice that had no emotion to speak of.

Kane originally wanted to see the suspicious figure in front of him reveal his identity, but the door that opened immediately and the person who appeared cleared more than half of his doubts.

"Kane, do you have anything to do with me?" a middle-aged priest with a Mediterranean hairstyle poked his head out of the room, this was the same priest Adam that Kane wanted to confront face-to-face, and he was also someone Kane was more familiar with.

"Can you introduce me to this new godmother?" Kane hugged Kayla in his arms, in case the other party's conspiracy was exposed and he did something extreme.

"What's the matter, you're interested in our Rosanne Godmother?" Adam answered Kane's question without hurrying, just playing a small joke with the other party first.

"Rosanne's godmother was recently transferred to this side from Midure, and now she's a wonderful godmother for us. Adam gave Kane a brief introduction, but because of the time, the other party didn't want to explain to Kane in depth, "Our ceremony is about to begin, don't stand here, hurry up and send this little lady in!"

The confirmation of the acquaintance cleared most of the doubts in Kane's mind, and he could only put Kayla in his arms into the hands of this suspicious godmother.

Kayla didn't struggle as Kane had expected, but calmly looked at the mysterious godmother in front of her, allowing her to carry her into the room where the ceremony was taking place.

The door closed, and Kane still felt that this godmother was suspicious, not as simple as Adam had told him.
