Chapter 329: Meiyi and Wine
Serena looked at Mei Yi, who was giggling with the sub-human people, and said to Pelty, "Pelty, is it my delusion?" I always felt that Meiyi seemed to be closer to the people of the subhuman race. β
"Most of the people here used to be residents of Xiaoshi Village, Avocado Village, Blackberry Village, and Qiuju Village, and they were all commoners, not nobles. When he was in the kingdom of the Asians, we called him a stranger, but we never discriminated against him. He doesn't have any lumps in his heart, does he? β
Serena suddenly realized. Think about it carefully, when I first saw Mei Yi, didn't I dislike him a little?
She looked at the admiration and gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Mei Yi, and thought of the elves and goblins and human beings who were all over the streets of Luoshui City just now, and she couldn't help but have a thought in her mind:
There are a lot of people in our Meloway, and they probably worship Meiyi as a god, right?
When she saw Sha Si, Mei Yi smiled and said, "Adjutant, I finally saw you." β
Sha Si also smiled and said, "Yes, King Meiyi, I and many people in Beicheng have come to visit relatives. I was so amazed that in just over two years, Melove had become so magnificent. β
Mei Yi said: "I will not forget, the people of the sub-human race dragged their families to the deserted Mei Luowei at that time to build a new kingdom with me. I won't forget that you sold all your jewels to buy the materials you needed to build the new kingdom. β
Shath's eyes were red: "Okay, don't say that anymore." We're friends who have been through life and death together, and I'm glad we can do something for you. β
She looked up at the sky, then at the beautiful houses around her, and said, "What we get is no less than what we give." Okay, okay, I'm just a soldier, I really can't speak, let's go to the temple, the glazed protagonist and Lord Brigitte are in a hurry. β
Mei Yi turned back to greet Serena and Kira, and walked towards the temple.
In the temple, there are portraits of the goddesses who appeared in the history of the subhuman kingdom.
The first goddess is Liuji, the ancestor of Liuli.
The penultimate goddess is Ruri's own sister Ruhime.
The most recent goddess is Betty.
They who were ostracized and cold-eyed in their lives probably would not have imagined that one day they would be placed in the temple to be worshiped and admired.
As the archbishop of the living goddess cult of the subhuman kingdom, Ruri personally presided over the worship ceremony. The ritual is as simple as the sub-human clergy such as Ruri and Erin placing flowers and cakes in front of each person's portrait.
After doing this, Liuli gave some pastries to Mei Yi and the two queens, Mei Yi looked at the delicate snacks in her hand, ate them all without hesitation, and said softly: "This is much better than the so-called sacrament of the Emilia Temple." β
Serena said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense in the temple. You're blaspheming! β
Liuli said: "Queen Serena, it's not that serious. Our goddesses are all mortals, which is not the same as the meaning of 'goddess' in Goddess Emilia, and is more similar to the 'holy woman' in the anthology of fairy tales of flower spirits. β
Meiyi looked at Betty's portrait for a long time, and finally reluctantly left, and said softly as she left, "Betty, let's go." Life is short, and it won't be long before we meet again. β
After Mei Yi and the others came out, other sub-people began to go in one after another to worship these goddesses who had saved the kingdom, but had lost their minds under the indifference and cruelty of their relatives, friends and the kingdom.
After returning to the palace, Serena said angrily, "Meiyi, what are you doing today? Why is it always a joke on such a solemn occasion in the temple? Do you know how untimely this is? β
Mei Yi smiled and said, "Ha, I'm sorry ......"
Serena was furious and said, "As a king, you have to set an example......"
Mei Yi said: "Where did I not set an example? β
Serena said loudly, "The last time I went back to the Elven Kingdom for a party, many people told me that the king of MelovΓͺvi does not look like a king, do you know how uncomfortable I feel in my heart? β
Mei Yi couldn't be more happy than his temper, he stood up, glanced at Serena coldly, and said, "On the first day of the new year, I don't want to quarrel with you, if you like the aristocratic culture of the elf kingdom, then go back to celebrate the New Year, you might as well experience more." I'm sorry, I'm a commoner king who has disgraced you! β
After speaking, Mei Yi put down the book in her hand, left the study without saying a word, and walked downstairs.
Serena was stunned for a moment, tears fell uncontrollably, and her heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden.
What am I angry with him this New Year?
After sitting in the study for a long time, Serena wiped away her tears, went downstairs, and asked Pelty, "Have you seen Meiyi?" β
Perti shook her head, and Serena asked several people in a row, but everyone didn't know where Meiyi had gone.
Serena panicked all of a sudden: Is Meiyi really angry? He hadn't been angry with me in years.
Just when she was a little at a loss, Brigitte came back in a dragon bird. She jumped off the dragon bird's back lightly, and when she saw Serena's anxious look, she said, "Nana, how did you lose your soul?" β
Serena said anxiously: "I quarreled with Meiyi for a few words, and the others were gone!" β
Brigitte laughed dumbly: "The king actually quarrels with people? Or with you? What's going on? β
Serena said: "He didn't know what was going on today, he was joking in the temple of the goddess Emilia and the temple of the goddess of the world, I was a little angry, so I said a few words to him...... And he got angry. β
Brigitte comforted: "Okay, Nana, don't be angry with Meiyi anymore, he's also under a lot of pressure." Originally, he didn't want to go to the Temple of the Goddess of the World, but he didn't think it would be good not to go, so he finally went. When he looked at Betty's portrait, he was about to cry, and after making a joke, he suppressed the tears. β
Serena was speechless for a moment and said, "I ......"
Brigitte said: "Okay, okay, think about it, he is only twenty years old after the New Year, and all the people are pinning their hopes on him, and he is also very demanding of himself." In the New Year, let him have a good rest. No matter how tight he is, he will be crushed. β
Serena argued, "I don't think he's usually busy. ...... than you."
Brigitte looked at Serena for a long time and sighed, "Queen Nana, a person weaves cloth day and night, without eating or drinking, and the amount of cloth woven is less than the amount of a steam loom in a minute. Do you compare us to him with sincerity in trying to make fun of us? β
Serena: "......"
Brigitte said, "Okay, let's go find him quickly." Why should you be unhappy on the first day of the new year? He's definitely in that place......"

After Betty's death, she was buried in the cemetery of the Rose City.
On the lawn covered with roaring snow, countless black swords were inserted.
One of the swords had a thin chain with a ring of snowflakes and swords on it.
Mei Yi came to Betty's grave, shook the snow on the ground, sat on the grass, looked at the big sword in front of her, put down the flowers in her hand and the pastries she prepared, and said softly: "Betty, I'm coming to see you." Sorry, it's been a long time. It's been a year since you're gone, and I haven't come out yet. β
"Today, I went to Viser City and met your little sisters, as well as your sister Belea. She has a very cute daughter, Bella, who looks quite like Belea. Frankly, I'm a little worthless for Belea, she deserves a better love. However, life is like this, the world is so big, it is really a miracle that we can meet. β
Mei Yi held the cold ring hanging on the big sword, and her voice was a little choked: "But, compared to you, she is really much better." At least she's alive, but you're gone. You're still so young, and the road ahead of you is still so long...... But you ...... Actually, you already knew, I can't get you back to the way you were, right? I also know that my wedding stung your heart......"
As she spoke, Mei Yi was already in tears.
Mei Yi looked at the overcast sky above her and muttered, "It's going to snow again soon." When you're still around, I'm always busy, and I don't have much time to spend with you. It's nothing to do today anyway, so let me stay with you for a while. Isn't it too cold compared to Koishi Village? β
Mei Yi took out a bottle of wine from her arms and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I brought this thing, and it will warm up a lot if you drink it." β
He uncorked the bottle, drank it with a clatter, and said, "What a good thing, the older you get, the more troubles you have, the more you will feel that wine is really a good thing, and it can make you forget these unpleasant things for a while......"
* * *
Brigitte said, "Nana, Meiyi must be at Betty's grave now. I can tell that he must have been touched by the sight of so many sub-people in Wether City today, especially Betty's sister. β
When Serena heard this, her heart was slightly relieved. She said angrily: "He's too angry now, I just said a few words to him, and he ran away." I'm not going to look for him! Anyway, he was hungry and went home. β
Brigitte said helplessly: "Okay then." Ruri and I are going to a party in Luoshui City, and I hope you will be reconciled when you come back tonight. β
When she woke up in the afternoon, Serena looked at the heavy snow flying outside the window, and her heart suddenly moved, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
What could happen to him? Serena thought.
When it was almost dark, she went downstairs, and the palace was already in chaos. Qiluo, who was so anxious that the big man was full of people, saw Serena coming down, so he asked, "Nana, have you seen Meiyi?" β
Serena was stunned for a moment and said, "In the morning, Brigitte told me that he might have gone to Betty's cemetery. β
She inadvertently noticed the sky outside the window, and said in shock: "It's getting dark?!" Hasn't he come back yet? β
Qiluo didn't have time to answer her, so she hurriedly took Mei Fan, Perti and others to fly towards the cemetery on the dragon bird.
When Kira and the others found Meiyi, they found him lying in front of Betty's grave, holding an empty wine bottle in his hand, with a smile on his face, and his whole person was about to be buried in the snow. When I touched my hand again, there was no heat at all.
Kira screamed in fright, and the terrible scream pierced the thick night, and the whole person immediately fainted and fell into the snow.
