Chapter 4: The Priestess of the Night
In a flat-roofed house made of loess, the god of law sits on a clay kang with a lily-like woman standing beside her. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The windows in the house are small but numerous, the lighting is very good, and all the tables and chairs inside are made of loess, and the surface seems to be coated with something, clean and smooth.
The house is very small, with only three rooms inside and outside, and the furnishings are simple, but clean and dust-free. The daily dining utensils are also clay bowls and clay pots, which are so simple that it is difficult for you to imagine that this is the home of the blood god.
"Tell me about your work last night. The god motioned for the moon crown to sit down.
Mooncrown sat on an earthen bench and nodded. When she came to the house of the god of law, she did not wear her black sacrificial robe, but simply wore a white robe, and her waterfall-like hair was tied up casually under her shoulders.
"According to your plan, all the 100 people in the Black Devil City who escaped were killed near Kunyue City, and Bai Yu, the son of the white pigeon, was detained by the king's order, and the white dove has been released back into the Black Magic City. β
"Very well, what about the others?"
"I assisted the Children of the Wind in killing the Lion-headed Serpent, and the Children of the Wind have been contained. β
"Why did you save the Sons of the Wind?"
"This person is the son of the Lord of Lingfeng City, and he has always had a holiday with the Black Magic City, and as a mercenary of the Black Magic City, he must know the military strength of the Black Magic City well, and the Black Magic City is also afraid of this, so he wants to take his life many times, this time I saved him, and he can be used as a surprise soldier to deal with the Black Magic City in the future. β
The Dharma God nodded and said, "Moon Crown, if there is anything I don't have time to take care of in the future, you can act on your own." β
The moon crown bowed her head and said, "Obey." β
"What are you going to do next, this Wind Child?"
"He is very talented, I think he can be put into the Magic Association to cultivate, if he succeeds, it will also be a weapon for me to worship the Blood City War. β
"You can arrange it yourself, and this kid will be in charge of you. β
"Yes. β
The god waved his hand, signaling that the moon crown was ready to leave.
Yuemian stood up and bowed.
"Moon Crown," the Fashen suddenly called out to her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "When it's just you and me, you don't have to be formal. β
Yuetian nodded and withdrew.
Walking out of the loess hut, in front of you is the majestic hall of the Magic Association, the building is towering into the sky, made of white jade, compared with the two, the home of the god of law is like a small dirt bag, unbearable.
The moon crown breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Fashen is a ruthless man, and although it is not good to say this, Yuemian feels that this is the most appropriate evaluation of him. The Dharma God is cold in front of everyone, but when facing the Moon Crown, it will be incomprehensibly warm, but the Moon Crown is still very afraid of him, and there is always a suffocating pressure when he is with him.
In the eyes of most people, the Fa God is a god and an existence that is admired and admired, but the real people around the Fa God can only feel a fear that goes deep into the bone marrow, even if the moon crown is no exception.
Yuemian thought about her thoughts, and before she knew it, she had already walked into the hall of the Magic Association, and the gatekeeper bowed and saluted, but she didn't pay attention. The Great Hall of Magic is ten floors high, and to go to the upper floors, you need to take a special lifting platform. All the dΓ©cor in the Hall of Magic is made of sapphires, and even the inside of the walls and floors are carefully paved with sapphires, and they are maintained daily by the Magician's apprentices. The moon crown walked up to the sapphire lifting platform, placed her hand on the crystal ball next to the lifting platform, and the magic passed through the crystal ball, creating a thrust and sending the moon crown to the top floor.
Sapphire is an effective conductor of magic, so the magic hall is made of sapphire not only for beauty, but more importantly, every facility in the temple can be controlled through magic.
There are ten floors in the magic hall, and the tenth floor was originally the residence of the gods of law and the attendants of the gods, but when it was the turn of this generation of gods, he refused to live in the hall of magic, and he did not want attendants. At first, everyone thought that the god of law was going to work hard behind the magic hall to build a crystal palace exclusive to the god of law, but the god of law used loess to build a low bungalow, which was not as luxurious as the ancestral tombs of many rich and noble families.
So the tenth floor of the magic hall belonged to the moon crown. On the other hand, sacrifices also belong to the attendants of the Dharma God.
There are five rooms on the tenth floor of the magic hall, the largest one in the center belongs to the god of law, after he refused to move in, the moon crown did not care, but lived in the attendant room on one side, and the remaining four rooms, including the law god room, have been empty. The Son of the Wind was brought here by her last night to stay temporarily.
The moon crown came to the door of the Child of the Wind and knocked lightly.
"Please come in. β
The Child of the Wind responded quickly, and the Moon Tian pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing the moon crown come in, the son of the wind took out a rag and wiped the crystal table, motioned for the moon crown to come in and sit down, and then began to rummage through the cabinets, and asked, "Does the girl like coffee or red wine?"
Yuemian was stunned in place, and suddenly felt a little misplaced, this should be her house, right? She reacted for a while, and said, "You don't treat yourself as an outsider?"
When the son of the wind heard Yuemian's question, he held red wine in one hand and coffee powder in the other, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Then you come in, I can't stand stupidly, right?"
"Put things down. Moon Mian looked at the Child of the Wind and said sharply.
So the Son of the Wind put what he was holding on the table and stood where he was, helpless.
"Come here and stand. β
The Son of the Wind walked to the corner of the door, as requested by the Mooncrown, and the Moonbeat looked at him before entering the house and sitting calmly on the crystal chair.
"Alright, come here. β
The Son of the Wind walked over obediently, and he suddenly felt a little miserable, but fortunately there were only two people, otherwise this face would have been lost.
He's numb! This woman must have deliberately tossed me because she saw that I was too handsome! The son of the wind began to comfort himself again, this was the most skilled job he had ever done.
"What to drink? white water or white water or white water?" Moonfront sat at the table, looking like a hostess.
"Well, I've already opened the red wine. The Son of the Wind was embarrassed and said softly.
"Oh, then go pour the bar. β
The Son of the Wind, who had just sat down, stood up again, took out two goblets, poured red wine, and brought them to the moon.
"Well, what are you doing standing? Sit down, you're welcome. Yuemian took the wine glass and suddenly became enthusiastic.
The Child of the Wind smiled bitterly and nodded, and sat down opposite the moon crown.
"Taste my Sumur red. The moon crown raised her glass.
The Son of the Wind was tossed, and at this time, he had just recovered his strength, and he was at a loss for scolding in his heart to this extent, which was really undignified. So he picked up the wine glass, shook it gently, and then leaned the tip of his nose over, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated, the moon crown stared at him, he didn't feel embarrassed, took a sip gently, and praised: "Good wine!"
Yuemian looked at the son of the wind and said lightly: "You look very professional." β
The son of the wind shook his head with a smile and said, "Shake it first, then smell it, and then sip it, and finally come to a 'good wine', this is a set of processes, I learned from others, in fact, I drink all the same taste." β
Listening to the reply of the son of the wind, Yuemian was stunned for a moment, and then her face flushed, as if she was a little angry, she stared at the son of the wind, carefully studying whether the young man in front of her was a fool.
"We mercenaries don't drink so elegantly, they all drink big bowls of liquor in one gulp. β
Yuemian was a little surprised, she carefully looked at the thin young man in front of her, and didn't seem to believe that he could drink so much, so she asked, "How many bowls can you drink?"
"A sixths bowl. The Son of the Wind replied without the slightest hesitation, as naturally as saying his name. Yuemian is somewhat sure, the boy she saved is indeed like a fool.
Yuetian didn't pay attention to him anymore, and raised the wine glass alone, shaking it gently, and the red wine stuck to the wall of the glass, crystal clear. The moon crown sat facing the floor-to-ceiling window, and the sun that had just risen shone a cold light through the ruby-like sumur dry red and cast on the moon crown's face. The moon crown quietly admires the beautiful colors of the red wine.
"It's beautiful!" exclaimed the Wind Child.
The moon crown raised her eyes to look at the Son of the Wind, and found that he was staring at herself, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say you, I said red wine. The Child of the Wind hurriedly explained.
Trying to control herself, she kicked him to the hard stone steps of the Magic Hall without taking a shot. She took a deep breath and reminded herself not to be stupid, and it took her a while to calm down.
"You don't have a good temper, don't you usually joke with you?" the Son of the Wind took a sip of red wine and looked at the moon crown in confusion.
"Except for the Dharma God, everyone has to kneel and talk when they see me. Yuemian said coldly, she took a sip of red wine, then frowned, put the red wine glass aside, and poured herself a glass of milk.
"I think I'm pretty good at blowing, you're a little girl, you can blow better than me. The Son of the Wind shook his head and took a sip of his wine, smiling incredulously.
"Stand up!" said the moon-crowned snap.
The Child of the Wind was startled and immediately bounced off his chair and looked at the moon crown with a surprised expression.
"I'm going to introduce myself formally," Moon Mian was really angry, she held the milk cup, sat on a chair made of sapphires, her face was expressionless, and her voice was cold, "I am the current Night Priest of Blood City, codenamed Moon Crown, responsible for the management of the internal affairs of Blood City, and I have all the power of life and death for members of the Magic Association." β
"Sacrifice to your lordship, I will be fortunate to meet you. The Child of the Wind bowed repeatedly.
"According to the blood worship law, you have to kneel down and talk to me. "The moon's eyes are like swords, and the killing is complete.
The Son of the Wind suddenly laughed, feeling the murderous aura emanating from the moon crown, he was much more at ease, the warrior who crawled out of the pile of dead people, this was the atmosphere he was familiar with.
"I am a mercenary of the Black Demon City, and I am not bound by the blood worship method. The Son of the Wind returned to the table and raised his wine glass.
"Then you'll have to die. The moon crown suddenly vanished into thin air, and at the same time, the Son of the Wind noticed that a dagger had been placed around his neck.
The Son of the Wind was taken aback, but immediately realized that this woman had the ability to move instantaneously, otherwise she would not have been able to go in and out of the arena at will last night.
After the surprise, there was only calm, and instead of giving in, the Son of the Wind picked up his wine glass and took a sip lightly, the action of drinking made his neck overflow with blood.
The Son of the Wind felt a slight tremor in the hand of the Moon Crown's sword, perhaps because of extreme anger, so he sighed and said, "Lord Sacrifice, I am a mercenary, do you think I am afraid of death?"
In the middle of the night, the blade was removed from the neck of the Son of the Wind, and the moon crown sat back down, her face expressionless, but the crimson of her face showed that she was not lightly angry.
"If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have saved me last night," the Son of the Wind put down his glass, looked at the moon crown lightly, and continued, "It's actually very easy to negotiate with the mercenaries, whatever you want me to do, just pay enough chips." You must have made a deal with me when you rescued me, right?"
"How much commission will the Black Magic City give you for taking this death mission?"
"I didn't take on the task of substitution, my mission was to kill the Demon Beast Lion-headed Serpent in the God-given gladiatorial arena. β
"How much commission?"
"Five thousand gold coins. β
"Okay, I'll give you fifty thousand gold coins, you kneel for me now," Moon Mian casually threw a token and continued, "Take it to the financial collar." β
The Son of the Wind tilted his head and stared at the moon crown carefully, the moon crown showed no weakness, and a pair of eyes revealed a piercing cold light.
In the middle of the night, the Son of the Wind threw off his robe and knelt down on one knee in front of the moon.
"Sure enough, it's a mercenary. Yuemian sneered.
"Can I get up?" asked the Wind Child in a deep voice.
"Yes. β
So the Son of the Wind stood up, patted the dust that wasn't there, and turned away.
"Where are you going?" said Mooncrown frowned.
"You saved my life, I gave you back a kneel, and now it's clear. I'm going back to the Dark Magic Corps now, and if I want to kill or listen to him. The Son of the Wind opened the door and walked out.
"Stop!" Mooncrown stood up, but the Son of the Wind didn't stop at all, and closed the door.
The moon crown urged the spell, tore through the void, and flashed in front of the Wind Child.
"Back in the Dark Magic, they'll kill you sooner or later. The moon crown stopped in front of the Wind Child, frowning.
"Don't bother with sacrifices. The Son of the Wind's voice was cold, and a pair of white wings suddenly stretched out behind him, and the wind raised the hair of the moon.
"You're going to fight me?" Mooncrown was a little surprised.
"As soon as you join the corps, you are not afraid of death. The Child of the Wind looked at the moon crown and entered the battle mode.
Yue Mian was stunned in place, if she fought, this would definitely be a one-sided killing without suspense, why was the young man in front of her so arrogant? Yue Mian was silent for a while, she understood that she couldn't kill the Black Demon City mercenaries in front of her.
"Okay, I don't have to press you as a sacrifice, let's sit down and talk. Yuetia's tone softened.
The Children of the Wind were unmoved, and the murderous plan was revealed.
"What's the matter, it's my wine that doesn't serve well?"
"Kneel down is your hospitality?" the Wind Child narrowed.
The moon crown pursed her lips and clenched her fists. She suddenly understood something, the young man in front of her, as a mercenary of the Black Demon City, was willing to sit in the Blood City and drink with the Blood City sacrifices, in order to repay the grace of his life, what he really cared about was not the commission, and he was really not afraid of death.
The Child of the Wind smiled coldly, bypassed the moon crown, and prepared to go downstairs.
Suddenly, the moon crown grabbed the sleeve of the Son of Wind's robe. The Son of the Wind frowned and turned around, finding that the Moon Corona had her head bowed and her body huddled together, like a little girl who had done something wrong, and the huge contrast made the Son of the Wind think that she was doing some trick.
"What are you doing?" the Son of the Wind raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry. The voice of the moon crown was low.
"What?" the Windchild thought he had misheard.
Yuemian raised her head and took a deep breath, she knew that she must not let go of the young man in front of her. The Fashen had just trusted her, and this was the first task she had obtained after judging alone, and she must not fail, but it seemed that she had already messed up. The boy had no fear of her, and he didn't obey her like the others. She suddenly felt lonely and helpless like never before, and there was nothing she could do.
Yuemian looked up into the eyes of the Son of the Wind, and after a while, she looked away again, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, can we go back and talk?"
The atmosphere instantly became weird, and the child of the wind never expected her to apologize. The little girl in front of her was thin and helpless, and her helpless appearance made the son of the wind unbearable, as if she were two people with a murderous priestess.
"Uh...... Well, don't look like that, weird. The Son of the Wind instantly looked like a deflated ball, and he was completely out of energy when dealing with such a girl.
Mooncrown nodded, then turned around and pushed the door open, and the Son of the Wind scratched his head and walked back very embarrassed.
