Chapter 280: The Seven Acolytes of the Goddess Emilia
Astrada was about twenty years old, the eldest of the archbishops, dressed in a rosette cardinal and with three black ribbons tied in her long silver hair.
Mei Yi thought for a while, and then said, "Archbishop, can you tell us your thoughts before answering your question?" ”
Astrada smiled slightly, "The Goddess Emilia Teachings don't answer this question. Fifteen hundred years ago, when the monsters were driven away and the elven kingdom was established, everything seemed to be getting better and better. However, not long after the death of the goddess, the major lords fell into a long-term slaughter, and the evil consequences continue to this day, with frequent coups and fierce battles among nobles. Looking at history alone, I really can't believe that the world is going to get better and better. ”
After a pause, Astrada said, "However, now that there is such a variable as Melovia, I can't see it clearly." Especially a while ago, the amazing productivity and organizational mobilization that Flora showed made me wonder if there was any possibility for the world to change for the better. ”
Mei Yi thought for a moment and said, "We also have a huge variable, Warcraft. No matter how great the kingdom we create, as long as the threat of demonic beasts is not completely eliminated, our beautiful kingdom may be reduced to ruins at any time. At least for now, I'm just willing to believe, but there's no guarantee that the world will get better. ”
Illya comforted Mei Yi and said: "On the issue of dealing with Warcraft, whether it is the True Spirit Palace or our Goddess Palace, the position is the same as that of Mei Luowei. The Elven Kingdom has always been the most reliable support for Melove. Even if Megalet ...... I mean, even if ...... You can also come back to ......."
Mei Yi smiled, "Back to the Elven Kingdom? How can it be? Don't forget, Archbishop, that I am the king of Melove, and I will never choose to be a bereavement dog at any time. I've already told Agiro on this trip that the monster is really going to pass through the Tianlu Mountains, and that's the matter of her and the Elven Kingdom. Because, we must have all died. ”
Illya's pupils shrank suddenly, she looked at Mei Yi and his wife and minister in shock, and found that everyone looked as usual, and there was no wave on their faces, and then she knew that Mei Yi was serious when she said this.
There is only Liuli, and her eyes are shining with an unpredictable brilliance.
Mei Yi said: "Acting Pope, I came this time, first, to visit the main temple, second, to meet the deceased, relatives and friends, and third, to exchange opinions on the fight against demonic beasts. I learned that the information on the Warcraft killed in the history of the Elven Kingdom is stored in the main temple, and we want to borrow it. Although Mei Luowei has defeated a lot of magical beasts so far, they are all demonic beasts below the advanced level, in case we encounter a legendary level or above, or even a mythical level, we have no information to follow. ”
Illya's face changed suddenly, her lips moved, and she exchanged glances with the other archbishops, and said, "I'm sorry, King Meiyi, I really can't help this matter. Indeed, our goddess temple has information on all the demonic beasts killed by the kingdom, even including the mythical demonic beasts killed by Goddess Emilia. However, these materials can only be called up by Pope Klapeossu. I ......"
Mei Yi smiled tolerantly and said, "I can understand." Pope Carppeossu has traveled and does not know when he will return? ”
Archbishop Cocoria, who had an incomparably beautiful face and piercing eyes, said: "Illya, you can be blunt, even if Pope Klapeosu is here, it is impossible to borrow these materials. Needless to say, outsiders, even us cardinals, can only see a small part. ”
Seeing Meiyi's inquiring gaze, Illya snorted, "Yes...... That is true. That was decades ago, and no one knows why the Pope made that decision...... I...... I'm ......"
Mei Yi smiled tolerantly: "I can understand." ”
"I don't understand!"
In some empty offices, Liuli suddenly said this, startling Mei Yi.
Seeing that all eyes were focused on herself, Liuli said lightly: "Forget it, I can understand again." ”
Under the table, Kira gently held her hand, and Ruri's excitement slowly calmed down.
Now it was Illya's turn and several priests to be embarrassed.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Mei Yi changed the subject and said, "When I was in the Elven Kingdom, I rarely saw books about Templar Knights. Can you tell me a little bit about it? ”
Illya said, "The one who guards the palace is called the Knights of the Palace, and the one who guards the main temple is called the Templars or Templars. After the monster was driven away, some of the followers of the goddess Emilia were made lords or officials of all ranks, and the other part established a goddess temple to publicize the deeds of the goddess Emilia. The temple of the goddess did not have such a transcendent status as it is now, coupled with the fact that it often criticized the tyranny of some lords and nobles, it often suffered retaliation, and even the evil act of burning the main temple occurred. ”
"The previous generations of popes had gone to war with the goddesses, and felt that not only could the kingdom created by the goddess Emilia but also the temples not be able to protect the kingdom created by the goddess Emilia alone, so they began to recruit Templars to protect the temples and church property in various places. These knights were basically recruited from among the war orphans adopted by the temple and were educated by the temple from an early age and were loyal defenders of the Goddess Cult. Of course, the armed force of a few thousand people is not a small number, and it has also been suspicious of some elven kings. Now there are about 4,000 people, and when they put on armor, they are Templars, and when they take off their armor, they are priests. ”
"Are you all Templars, too?" Mei Yi asked.
Illya smiled, "Of course. ”
Mei Yi was a little puzzled, and wondered: "After all, you are old, Lilith is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how did she suddenly go from the Templars to the position of cardinal?" ”
Illya and the others had a black line on their faces: We are older after all......
Illya thought for a moment and said, "Lilith is the eighth cardinal appointed by the Pope himself, codenamed 'God's Persistence'. She grew up with the Pope and was gifted with all the books in the temple, and when it came to theological cultivation, it was difficult for me to attain it. The so-called Tianzhong Talent, that is. ”
Mei Yi nodded and said, "Oh, this is rare, I have read all the books, and I will go to the Goddess Hall of Commercial Street to consult her another day." ”
During the meeting, someone knocked lightly on the door and said, "We've been talking for three hours, why don't you take a break?" ”
As soon as Mei Yi heard this somewhat lazy voice, the whole person became excited, he stood up with a snap, and rushed towards the visitor: "Sister Luo Luoqi......"
Luo Luoqi looked at Mei Yi who was rushing towards him, his heart was hot, he stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, Mei Yi couldn't take a step forward. Luo Luoqi looked at Mei Yi's eyes and sighed, "How many times have I told you, don't hug me!" I'm a cardinal. ”
Mei Yi scratched her head and said, "I still remember what I said a few years ago?" ”
Although Luo Luoqi had a straight face, there was already a smile in his eyes: "Are you still reasonable?" You are now both a king and a father, please be mature and steady, okay? ”
"Oh...... Oh......"
Serena and Kira secretly felt a little funny when they saw that Mei Yi was like a quail in front of Luo Luoqi, and she was very obedient.
So, after the meeting, Mei Yi wandered around the temple's archives and showroom.
It was there that he saw the portrait of the goddess Emilia for the first time.
The portraits of the goddess Emilia on the market are all prints or poor line drawings, but the painting in front of me is extremely detailed, like a photograph.
Mei Yi looked at Serena, then looked carefully at the portrait of the goddess Emilia, and said softly: "Nana, you are really a little similar, the goddess's genes are quite strong." ”
Serena whispered and viciously, "Don't talk nonsense! Blasphemy against the goddess is a felony! ”
Mei Yi turned to Qiluo and said, "Did you already have lipstick at that time?" Lipstick color for the goddess...... It's bold. It turns out that more than 1,000 years ago, elves were popular to wear red eyeshadow under their eyes. ”
Kira whispered, "Don't make me laugh. ”
Mei Yi shrugged her shoulders and walked forward, carefully looking at the armor and weapons that the goddess had used, as well as Reisuke, and the emblem of the Ai family.
Liuluo introduced on the side: "There are dozens of long swords used by Goddess Emilia on display here, and the forging industry at that time was far inferior to now, and when Goddess Emilia cut off a sword, she would immediately replace it." ”
Mei Yi and his entourage looked at the dozens of broken swords, and their hearts were quite shocked.
Walking forward, a bust of a blonde girl suddenly appeared in front of Mei Yi's eyes.
Seeing Mei Yi's surprised application, Liuluo said, "This is the portrait of the ancestor of the human race, Melohia. ”
Mei Yi exclaimed, "Qiluo, you and your ancestors are simply out of the same mold. The portrait of Melohia's ancestor hanging in your house is so abstract that I haven't seen it yet. ”
Serena also exclaimed: "It's true! ”
Kira heard Serena say the same, and she couldn't say anything more, but nodded shyly.
She had already heard her mother say that she was the most similar to her ancestors among the descendants of the Mei family.
The portrait of Melohia is about twenty years old, dressed in light armor, holding a long sword in both hands, extremely beautiful and heroic.
Qiluo saw Mei Yi clasping her hands together, bowing a few times to Melohia, her heart was warm, and when she heard what he said, her face was suddenly covered with red clouds - Mei Yi said in a reciting words: "Lord Melohia, your greatest achievement is to expel the demonic beast with the goddess, and the second is to give me a gentle, beautiful and kind wife......
Liuluo, who was commenting on the side, looked at his brother-in-law helplessly, and said in his heart: Others don't dare to come out when they come here, he is good, he is a relative, and he is a judge of the goddess, fortunately, he is the only one here, and if he is replaced by another cardinal, it is estimated that he will be angry on the spot.
