Chapter 1: Tears of the Goddess and Gardia

The train they were riding slowly drove into a huge eggshell-shaped building. It is the largest air-rail station in the sky city of Leogis.

When the train came to a complete standstill, the flow of people poured out of the train like a tidal wave.

"The students from Class D gathered here. I saw that Ishka found a relatively empty place and waved to the students who got off the bus.

"There are a lot of people, and if you don't pay attention, it's really easy to get apart. Ah Soft finally got out of the crowd and ran to the meeting place.

"Alice, please see who else hasn't arrived. Ishka said, looking at the people who had gathered.

"Got it. Alice began to count the numbers.

"Are you all here?" said Ishka, standing at the front of the D-class line.

"Well, everyone's here. Alice replied.

"Good work. ”

"It's okay, I'm a magician in this class anyway. ”

"Then everyone follow the team, don't get lost. Ishka beckoned.

"Hey, Ah Ruan, look, that's not Roy from Class B, he's looking here. Lachlin gave her hand a gentle nudge.

As soon as he saw Roy, Ah Soft's face instantly turned red, and the whole person immediately turned his back to him.

"Why, what happened to that boy of yours?" said Xiwei on the side, as if he could see something.

"No, nothing has happened. Ah Soft replied in a panic.

"Come on, Shivi, I'll tell you......" Lachlin pulled Shivi past her, biting her ear.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Ah Soft grabbed Xiwei.

"What do you say?" Alice returned to the group.

"Come, I'll tell you too. Lachlin saw that the audience had increased, and she became more and more excited. I saw that Secy was silent.

"Ceci, it's better for you!" Ah Soft took Secie's hand movingly. saw that Secy quickly shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Lachlin told me a long time ago about you and Roy. I saw that Ah Soft's expression instantly froze there.

"Hey, you guys, don't talk about it, follow along. Ishka reminded from the front.

As soon as you step out of the platform, you will find a spacious waiting hall. The entire hall is topped by a huge glass dome, through which sunlight shines directly into the hall, giving the whole hall a sense of transparency. Walking out of the hall, I came to the square in front of the station, and there was a statue of a woman standing in the center of the square, only to see her hands slightly open, her head slightly raised, giving people a feeling that she was about to jump up.

"Who is this sculpture?" asked Soft curiously.

"It should be the statue of Gardia, the eight-winged angel who saved this land. Alice said.

"Why didn't you carve out her eight wings, didn't she look like a normal human?" said Laclin, gesturing as she painted.

"It is said that it is because before the Demon King invaded, Gardia seemed to have given up her identity as an angel and planned to live as a human being. Therefore, in order to achieve her wishes, later generations molded her into an ordinary person. Ceci said.

"Wow, you know that!" Lachlin said admiringly.

"No, isn't there an introduction in the brochure you sent out before the trip!" she said, pulling out a thin booklet from her backpack. "Look, this is the introduction to the goddess square in front of the station. ”

"Huh, goddess, she's not an angel. Ah Soft asked curiously. "Could it be that a goddess and an angel are the same?"

"Of course it's not. Angels are the general name of the celestial race, while goddesses are status symbols, not only have higher authority, but also have a great increase in power. The Celestial Realm will forge special artifacts for it. Ceci paused and continued, "However, Gardia was only added as a goddess after being sealed, so her artifact was never used and remained asleep. ”

"I know! I know!" Lachlin interjected. "The shape is a red gemstone like a teardrop, so it is called the tears of the goddess. It is now preserved in the main hall of the Great Temple!"

"It seems that we will be given a tour of the Great Temple in the afternoon, and we will soon be able to catch a glimpse of it. Alice looked forward to it.

"That's how the heavenly realm is contrived, if you want to add her as a goddess, why do you want to seal her, I like to do strange things. Xiwei, who had been beside him and didn't speak, suddenly said coldly.

"It's not for nothing. Ishka seemed to hear Shivi's words, "Because it's a thanksgiving, from the heavenly realm, and from the people of this continent." ”

Shivi didn't say anything more.

At this time, several buses came to the square.

"Finally arrived, picked us up for the car to the hotel. Ishka's run was back at the front of the line.

After an hour's drive, Ah Soft finally arrived at the hotel where they were staying. The room is arranged for two people per room. Soft was forced to be separated from Xiwei. She suddenly had a feeling of being like a tiger. After lunch at the hotel's restaurant, in the afternoon they boarded the bus again and went to the center of the city, the Great Temple.

As the center of the city, the Great Basilica is a great intimidating building, with a wide staircase on the front, and the first thing you see when you walk up the stairs is a huge arch. In addition to humans, there are also elven and celestial people. Entering the door, you will find a spacious hall with a central column made of crystal and a red gem inside, which shines with a fantastical light.

"Look, that's the Tears of the Goddess. Alice pointed to the jewels on the pillar and said excitedly.

"Yes, I would love it. Xiwei said with interest.

"Don't mess around, or I'll be rude to you. Ishka whispered.

"The artifact, it's really different. Lachlin sighed as she watched. "It would be nice if you could give it to me. ”

"Don't dream, this kind of thing, it's good to be able to see it in our lifetime. Don't be too greedy. ”

"Dreams, dreams, do you know?" Lachlin put her hands on Alice's shoulders. "You can't lose your dreams in life, you know? ”

"What dreams, are you daydreaming?" Alice put her arm around Lachlin's shoulder. "Wake up!"

"Okay, don't make trouble, in front of so many people, you are still making such a fuss. Ceci said from the side.

"This is Gardia's artifact, I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to use it?"

"You're so pale!" Secy noticed that Soft was staring at the gem and didn't move.

"It's nothing, suddenly people are a little uncomfortable. Ah Ruan felt that he was a little unstable.

"Seeing that your face is very bad, let's go back to the car and rest first. Ishka said with concern.

"Then I'll send her back, I just don't want to visit the enemy's lair. Xiwei said.

"The enemy's lair?"

"Hehe, Xiwei, your analogy is so humorous!" Ishka smirked stiffly as she poked Xiwei with her hand.

"yes, I'm kidding everyone, haha!" Xiwei also laughed stiffly, and hit back hard with his hand.

Seeing that the two of them are you, I'll be here, and if they continue like this, as if they were going to fight, Ah Ruan hurriedly dragged Xiwei away.

"Ishka's relationship with Xiwei has always been stiff. Lachlin whispered.

"Well, maybe they're having some holiday," Ceci said in a low voice.

"Don't scare Chaila, just let it be. Alice said.

"Yes, that's right. ”

In the evening, Ah Soft, who returned to the hotel, collapsed on the bed tiredly. Ever since she saw the Tears of the Goddess, she had always felt very weak, but she saw that Xiwei next to her was in unusually good spirits.

"You're so alive at night, what a weirdo. ”

"Are you ignorant, we immortals are nocturnal, and night is our hunting time. ”

"Hunting?!" Soft looked horrified.

"Yes. I haven't sucked blood in a long time, and I've been feeling a little thirsty lately. As she spoke, Xiwei licked her lips with her tongue.

Ah Soft couldn't help but swallow. "You don't want to make me your prey, do you?"

"What do you say?" Xiwei had already pounced.

"Smack~" The door of the room was kicked open. "I knew you were going to attack her. Ishka ran in menacingly.

"Hmph, you can't help but rush in and pull in?" Shivi seemed to have expected Ishka to break in. "I already knew you were waiting outside the door. ”

"You know, still doing it?"

"yes, I did it on purpose. ”

"You!"

"What's wrong with me, come and bite me!" Shivi grimaced at Ishka, opened the window, and jumped out.

"Want to run? It's not that easy. Ishka jumped out as well.

"......" Ah Soft was left alone in the room.

It's okay, the noise is gone, and I'm going to take a good rest. Ah Soft thought happily.

And so the calm night passed......
