17. Private trysts
On a clear day, when Lilith came out of the little castle of Villard, which had shaded the day, she was immediately covered with golden light from the sun on the horizon.
I don't know if it's because of staying in a place where the sun hasn't appeared for too long, Lilith is a little uncomfortable, on the contrary, Verard is no different from usual, or is she a little happy today?
"Won't you feel uncomfortable with this weather, Verard?"
Even some of the passers-by around were looking for a shady place to walk, but Villad didn't have anything.
"Well, that's a misunderstanding of us, sister. "The sun's effect on me is limited to fighting at best, and of course, some of the weaker people will deliberately avoid traveling during the day. ”
After all, Villard still straightened her chest, and when she changed her clothes, she was at most regarded as a little girl with white skin, and her identity would not be suspected. After all, this is the area of the Church, and it's hard to imagine why Verard would set up an enchantment and make a home here.
So, what is it that makes you want to come out with me early in the morning?"
Lilith looked around, indeed, the atmosphere on the street today was a little unnatural, of course, not very depressing, but the kind of atmosphere that was close to a holiday celebration, as if, it was a holiday?
"Is it a holiday today?"
"Well, if it's for the Christians, maybe today will be more important than the New Year. ”
Verard nodded, "My sister probably doesn't live in this area of the church, so I don't know, it's about this time of year." The saints of the Church will personally fulfill their wishes in front of many believers. Of course. It has to be a reasonable, chosen desire to do it, like me...... Pagans will not be selected. Because the movement was so loud, I couldn't rest, so I simply took my sister over to have a look. ”
Saint......
Again, this familiar word, does it mean that in the past, the saints did not need to be selected every year?
"That. Doesn't the saint need to be replaced every year?"
"Theoretically, it is going to be replaced, but it is said that the current saintess has been serving for about ten consecutive years because she is too much in line with the image of the saints in the hearts of the believers, and of course she is still this year. ”
Verard is not too interested in the Holy Maiden, "I think that as long as she can fulfill other people's wishes every year, the position of the Holy Maiden can always be old." ”
"Too much in line with the image in the minds of the cultists?" Lilith frowned, although she didn't know exactly what the image in the minds of the cultists was. That's just that.
Temperament, physiognomy. And that's it......
A slight pain in the head came, it seems that the saint involved here is also something that you don't allow yourself to think about, but it's just a saint, why doesn't history allow you to think about it?
Could it be that this holy woman has any connection with herself?
The pain was already beginning to warn Lilith not to continue thinking, and in order to end the topic as much as possible, Lilith struggled to think about what else she could do.
"Verard, it should be too early, if you can, can you come with me to a place?"
When she saw the familiar streets of the church, Lilith had already thought of Frey, wondering, after all this time, what had become of Frey?
Despite the care of the Heroic Spirits, will she be able to live well?
"Verard, if you're going to be invisible, follow me. ”
......
The middle of nowhere, with its walls covered in vines, was as silent as ever. It's just that this time there are more than before, and there are a few figures that have a little impression of themselves.
Most of them were Frey's Heroes, and they seemed to be enjoying the morning with Frey.
"Sister, who is she?"
“...... Also a younger sister of mine. Lilith was reluctant to disturb Frey's happy time, it seemed that Frey had gradually forgotten the time, and she couldn't rush to meet her, otherwise, it would only wake her up from the wait, in that case, it would be worth the loss.
Although I really want to touch Frei's head again, I still have to wait until I return to the original world.
"Strange?"
"Well, I'm only one of those who plays with your sister...... Creature. Verard nodded, "There are entities, but they don't seem to have the aura that humans should have. ”
"They belong to the Heroic Spirits. Lilith was thinking about how to explain it to Villard, but it seemed that this remote street seemed to be more than just her own existence with Villard.
"Villard......" Lilith lowered her voice, "is there anyone here?"
There was no hostility, but the source of the sound seemed to be deliberately avoiding others, and despite this, because the surrounding streets were too quiet, there was still a sound of rustling.
Roland ...... I'm going to go there again later, what if I fail this time?"
It was a female voice that asked the question, but because of the low voice, even though Lilith felt very familiar, she still couldn't tell whether it was someone she knew or not.
In the distance, he could only see a person dressed as a paladin, leaning against a woman wearing a white cloak with her back to her.
Strangely, the church doesn't rule that paladins are not allowed to get married and have children, so why do they still have the same tryst?
"It's okay, take it easy. Didn't I remember you being so nervous the year before?" Probably because of the armor, the man didn't dare to have any physical contact with the woman, but just hugged him symbolically, "Moreover, they are all skilled processes, and it is impossible to fail." ”
"But I probably won't be able to do it because today ...... I always feel like ......"
The woman hesitated, but in the end chose to remain silent.
There is no excesses, and it is not to do anything embarrassing, why do you have to choose such a remote place to meet?
But speaking of which, the woman who wore a cloak and covered her back always gave herself a sense of familiarity, and even her voice seemed to be heard somewhere.
"Woo......"
Damn, the headache is here again, and what is it this time? Is it a sign that you shouldn't be here anymore? Or is it a warning not to talk to someone out of curiosity?
"Verard, let's get out of here first, it's not a good thing to peek into other people's private meetings. ”
The church bell has already sounded, and most likely this time the ceremony of the saint will begin. After glancing at the two men who were also about to leave, Lilith and Verard walked towards the square. (To be continued......)
