Chapter 4, Miracles

As one of the two oldest goddesses of origin in the kingdom, the belief of the Holy Mother of Silver has branches throughout the continent, although because of the eternal war of origin that continues to this day, the Holy Mother of Silver lost most of her priesthood in the battle with her twin sister - the Lady of the Night, resulting in a great decline in strength, and was once forced to seek the protection of other gods and become someone else's subordinate god, his influence has not faded, and the believers of the Silver Holy Mother in the kingdom are not the strongest group, nor the most numerous, The influence is not small.

Aaron followed behind Miss Reverend, his steps still vain and his physical condition was poor.

This large open-air altar in Shenhai is the center of faith in the Church of Our Lady of Silver in the country, and as the two step out of the ward, Aaron sees more people.

Under the bright canopy, in the dense shade of the trees, by the clear pond, the Holy Warrior Guards and Priests of the Silver Lady were treating several injured beast adventurers, one of whom had a pair of fluffy cat ears and rounded cat paws, and was covering his head to be treated by a female paladin.

Beast-eared mother! Aaron couldn't help but look a few more times.

It's so cute.

Bestiality is a terrible infectious disease in the kingdom, this acute disease will gradually turn the infected into beasts controlled by appetite and killing desires, and there is almost no cure, the only hope is the salvation of the Silver Virgin, the good and neutral beasts almost all believe in this god, and the evil beasts are mostly believers in the hunting god Marat.

Miss Pastor, who was leading the way, noticed Aaron's movements, her steps were a little slower, and her words were stern: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Huh?" Aaron paused for a moment, and then he realized that Miss Reverend would be mistaken.

Am I that bad?

"You've never looked at them twice before." Miss Priest turned, her silver-rimmed robe dancing in the air with her movements, her thick ponytail flicking with the fragrance of bellflower flowers: "They are unpopular with humans, they are considered cursed by humans, are they?" ”

"You're right." Aaron nodded slightly, and the young viscount looked at the guards not far from the entrance of the altar: "I'm just thinking, what is the so-called justice?" These beasts who are being treated by you are also beasts, and the ones who have caused countless disasters to the kingdom and even the entire kingdom are also beasts, and I should hate them, but I only think they are cute. ”

"This shows that human beings are emotional creatures who like to evaluate people based on their appearance, and secondly, it shows that after experiencing life and death, even a noble child like you has grown." Miss Priest's eyes stared at him behind the mask, and Aaron gave her a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

"Hey, isn't it you half-elves who are most surprised?" Aaron immediately complained: "Susar's law stipulates that you can enter the city as long as you meet the conditions, but I really saw your half-elf gathering place and refused to let them enter when I saw ugly and short guys!" ”

"They're half-elves! And I, Eleanor! As if pricked with a needle, Miss Reverend changed her attitude to a little irritation, and said, "Don't confuse me with them!" ”

"Yes, you're not a half-elf, you're Eleanor." Aaron said calmly, "And I'm Aaron, a human being, or a viscount, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Sorry, it's a bit of a stereotype. Miss Reverend was stained with a hint of red glow on her face by Aaron's words, and her delicate pink face flushed with shame, and her tone gradually softened: "I apologize to you. ”

"I accept." Aaron had no intention of arguing with her, he just wanted to hurry.

Otherwise, that ogre Gurk becomes bigger and is the end of Aaron.

Eleanor's mind was filled with doubts.

She always felt that the man in front of her was a bit not like the Aaron Salian in her impression, they had met many times, and Aaron would appear with his family on the festival of the Silver Lady every year, in Eleanor's impression, Aaron was a mediocre aristocratic child, cautious and serious, with a lot of aristocratic arrogance and self-consciousness superiority, but good parenting and discipline made him carefully cover himself.

For example, this group of bestiacs, when Aaron used to come to the festival, Eleanor could clearly feel that he was afraid that the curse of bestiality would spread to him and always kept his distance, but often pretended to be as friendly as possible and did not discriminate, wearing gloves to shake hands with the bestiacs, and giving them gifts.

There was a private joke among the priests and paladins that the last Viscount Salian's greatest merit was that he had no faults, and that his greatest weakness was that he had no merits.

Eleanor used to think so, to this day.

"You saved my life, Miss Eleanor, you are my benefactor, and I am the one to whom you should be thanked." Aaron said quite seriously: "I can swear to the Silver Lady of Silver, and I will repay it." ”

"If saving lives is just for payment, then what's the difference between us and the cunning believers of the Night Lady?" Eleanor shook her head: "True kindness should not be based on the kindness of being rewarded, when you expect to get something in return to save people, then maybe the Silver Mother is not for you." ”

"Taught." Aaron pondered for a few seconds, and respectfully applied the aristocratic salute to Miss Pastor: "Miss Eleanor's words, I have gained something. ”

Is this man really Aaron Salion? Miss Pastor couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It seems that he was wrong before, this is a person with dragon scales in his belly (referring to Neixiu), he is not as simple as he seemed before.

Thinking of his background, Miss Pastor sighed softly.

Neither of them spoke again.

Aaron turned his attention to the altar.

Suren is a goddess of the chaotic and good camp, unlike the order camp, she has few requirements for her temple, her temple can sometimes be a few random stones in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains to demarcate the boundary, put a silver moon shrine in the center, or a magnificent and magnificent temple, this goddess does not care about this.

A sparkling pond and a garden reflecting the glow of the goddess in the moonlight are indispensable.

As Aaron stepped into the heart of the altar, he could feel the power of the Silver Lady permeating every corner of the altar, and during the day, the surface of the building was also shrouded in a layer of moonlight, and on closer inspection, layers of moonlight swam down the walls of the temple like a tidal wave, and the walls were carved with the battle between the Silver Mother and the Night Ladyβ€”from its origins to the present, the struggle between them has never stopped.

Unlike some of the gods, who demanded uniform dress, the Church of Our Lady of the Silver did not have much dress code, there were aristocratic women dressed in fine clothes full of precious stones and flower crowns, and there were also old women wearing brown linen robes, dressed in shabby clothes, and sweating on their foreheads with basins of water.

Eleanor led Aaron to the center of the temple, where a six-meter-high stone statue of the Virgin of Silver stood with a silver moon in both hands, looking down on the living beings with a sad face.

Aaron stood still and did not move.

In the realm, the temple is actually a dangerous place, because the temple of the gods often functions as a fortress and a refuge, where the divine power of the gods is attached to the shrines, sculptures, holy objects, books, murals and other symbols, and as long as the divine power of the gods is not exhausted, it will not fall easily.

So in many sieges, the temple was often the last battleground.

He felt the moonlight seem to notice him, and the flowing light gradually gathered around him.

"Salian, what do you ask for help from the Great Silver Lady?"

A noble lady in a rich silk gown stepped out of the temple, she was plump and richly dressed, her hands were full of jewels, her cuffs and neckline were inlaid with pearls, she stepped on a pair of high-heeled moerskin boots, two silver chains swayed gently with her steps, her clothes were embroidered with the motif of the vine and the moon, and her long hair was tied into a noble lady's hairstyle by a delicate moon crown.

Of course, what caught Aaron's attention was that her gorgeous gown was low-cut.

Her child can eat at least one and a half years old, right?

She is the chief high priest of this open-air altar, Lady Silver Star.

He couldn't help but look at it twice, clear his throat, and change his tone to a humble one: "Yes, I am in some trouble and must ask for the favor of the Silver Virgin, only He can save me." ”

Lady Silverstar looked surprised, her eyes flashing with moonlight, and she stared at Aaron, "Not even regeneration?" ”

Lady Silver Star is a Master Priest and a quasi-legendary powerhouse.

As long as she is willing, not to mention that all the wounds are healed, even if there is only one head left, as long as she is not completely dead, she can create another living person!

"I don't know, I fell under a spell that caused devastating damage to my body, to my soul." Aaron pleaded sincerely, "The energy of this spell is still in my body. ”

Lady Silver Star was even more surprised, her eyes widened, and her white face was full of incredible expressions: "Then you are still alive??!! ”

Aaron nodded awkwardly, "I don't know how I survived, I was hit by a spell unleashed by the sorcerer's old ruler, the Sect Master. ”

Yes, there are also cases where regeneration cannot be recovered, that is, the injured person has negative energy such as curses and continuous magic (which cannot be dispelled), in which case regeneration can only help the recipient recover his body, and the negative effects will persist.

"You're such an immortal boy, the last of Salian." Lady Silverstar's surprised expression hadn't recovered yet, she really hadn't seen anything like this.

This kind of negative energy spells of continuous curse are all high-ring magic high-ring magic magic magic high-ring magic skills, if she hits, she is not ten percent sure that she will be able to survive the spell, and this viscount only has the strength of a first-order apprentice, he is not dead, he can still move, and he can still speak!

Our Lady of Silver, this is a miracle!

The priest who was standing next to her was equally surprised, she opened her mouth, but finally did not say anything.

She believed that the great Silver Madonna would make just decisions.

The words that Lady Silverstar originally wanted to refuse stopped at the corner of her mouth, she reached out and pressed Aaron's head, and the divine moonlight shrouded the young man who was kneeling on one knee: "That's right, there is indeed a negative energy in your body that is eroding you. ”

After saying that, she didn't make a bigger move, but was silent.

"Dad, the gods don't live in the mortal world, so why do they need temples?

Silly boy, the temple is where the gods do business with mortals. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€” kingdom jokes

The joke makes it clear how mortals are in relation to the gods, and the role that temples play in them.

Regeneration is the Seven-Ring Divine Technique and the strongest Divine Technique that Lady Silver Star can unleash at the moment, and releasing it is a huge burden for Lady Silver Star, she needs to pay a huge price and be weak for a long time.

If the regeneration technique can't cure the young man in front of her, then she has only one choice left - use the divine power stored in the open-air altar to release the Nine-Ring Miracle Technique, and seek the help of the Silver Holy Mother Suren.

This meant that she had to pay for the accumulation of divine power that had been stored in this altar for tens or hundreds of years, and she needed to consume all the efforts she had put into the long accumulation for this young man since she had been the chief high priest.

These costs are almost impossible to measure in monetary terms.

Aaron sensed the other party's hesitation, and the young viscount immediately said, "Lady Silver Star! I'm willing to pay the price, but I don't have so much money on hand right now, I can only swear that I will repay the Silver Lady for what she has done for me, I can sell my mansion in Susar, I am the Viscount of Salian, and the royal family gives me 800 gold lion coins a year, and I can give 500 ...... No, 600 to the church! ”

Aaron was categorical when he said these words, he was very clear about his situation, and seeing that Ms. Silver Star was still hesitating, he gritted his teeth and continued: "In addition, there are some relics, antiques, souvenirs, weapons, and jewelry left by my parents at home, please give me a little time to sell them, and I will definitely pay them back!" ”

"Not enough." Lady Silverstar shook her head slightly, she looked at Aaron's determined appearance, and her eyes were full of memories.

Aaron's face turned pale, he took a few deep breaths, thought for a while, and then said: "The Salian family has revered the Silver Virgin for generations, and the family has been passed down for seven hundred years since the ancestor Lyudorf............"

"I remember when you were a kid and you came here with Manuel to participate in the festival." Lady Silver Star interrupted Aaron's words, and a look of remembrance appeared on her plump face, "I'm sorry about your business, it's not fair to you. ”

"The world is so impermanent, and in the face of sudden disasters, we can only accept it." Aaron seemed a little disappointed, he spread his hands and wanted to get up: "In this case, excuse me." ”

It seems that we will have to try our luck in another place.

That's it, that's it?

"Follow me." Lady Silver motioned for him to follow.

"The release of the miracle will take a long time to prepare, and it is up to us to receive the help of the Silver Lady, and I can only wish you good luck, the last Salian."

"Ah...... Be! Aaron nodded in disappointment, and then couldn't help but have a look of ecstasy on his face.

This is the opportunity he earned.

His only chance to break the game!

β€”β€”β€”β€” I was the dividing line of the only chanceβ€”β€”β€”β€”

In the chamber inside the altar, Aaron took off all his clothes and sat cross-legged in the center of the chamber naked.

As Lady Silver Star sings, the murals on all sides of the chamber glow with a silver moon at the same time, and the idols of the four goddesses light up at the same time, and the idols seem to come to life in the flowing moonlight, and they reflect the white moonlight at the same time, reflecting Aaron's body from all four directions.

Aaron only felt a cold feeling of comfort rise from his body, he felt as if he had entered an illusory space, the strong smell of milk came from his mouth and nose, and he opened his arms to show that he had no ill will.

There is being who accepts him.

Aaron felt his soul continue to rise, rising with the light of the moon, his body became lighter and lighter, he seemed to return to the age of infant babbling, he tried to speak, his mouth was a faint milk sound, a pair of gentle hands held him in his arms, in a trance, he seemed to see a loving woman, looking at him with gentle eyes.

He continued to rise until the moon was close at hand, until he landed on the moon.

Under the moonlight, among the two holy white trees, there stood a slender beauty under the moon.

"Welcome, my child."

She faced Aaron, spread her hands, and two long long sleeves of sheer silver tulle fell to the ground along her movements, the maternal light on her body as soft as water.

"I heard you need my help? My baby? Do you have any problems? Tell me and I'll help you out. ”
