Chapter 12: The Maiden's Prayer
The girl's consciousness exceeded Gu Jiancheng's expectations.
As the middle-aged knight left on the way, Gu Jiancheng tried to break away from the girl's body.
If it has always been from the perspective of a girl, then his harvest here is all due to luck.
He was still thinking about what kind of state he was in at the moment, why and why the ruins were here.
Just now he heard the girl mention the "Plantagenet Empire".
Before he came in, the title of the contract in his hand indicated the Plantagenet Empire.
It seems that he was able to get here, and it had nothing to do with that contract.
And the contract of the King of the Abyss......
Gu Jiancheng didn't have a good evaluation, but he vaguely noticed that this ancient god seemed to have some kind of paranoia about the contract.
At least Gu Jiancheng hadn't heard of a contract signed by the stars with anyone, from the gods to the dependents, without exception.
He couldn't help but think deeply about the source of the decline of the Great Abyss Dao and even its disappearance, wouldn't it be the one that Huo Huo didn't get from this "pit daddy contract"?
If you want to embark on the road, you have to sign an unequal contract first, and I am afraid that you will be scared away directly!
No, it's because he's small, so he can't deceive people on the road first, and then boil the frog in warm water.
"Your Highness, please take a bath and change your clothes, and in an hour, we will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you at the temple."
The middle-aged knight bowed and took his leave.
Gu Jiancheng: (a''one)
What did he just hear?
Shower and change clothes?
This...... Is it appropriate?
While his thoughts were fluctuating, the maiden had already stepped into the depths of the temple, accompanied by the maid.
The environment is quiet, and there is a pool at the end, and under the service of the maid, the dresses fall at the feet of the girl.
Although Gu Jiancheng has always maintained a perspective that is in sync with the girl, he inevitably sees some snow-white places.
The sound of the snow-white jade arm stirring the water of the pool reached his ears.
Gu Jiancheng forcibly stabilized his mind and kept himself from thinking about it, he was not a gentleman, but he did not have the habit of taking advantage of others' unpreparedness to peep into their privacy.
Gu Jiancheng: (êȘăêȘ)
It's unrealistic to empty your brain, and the sound of the water is really exciting.
For the sake of the present, the only way to divert attention is to use more important things.
At this moment, Gu saw Chengfu to his heart, and thought of which name was missing from the contract.
He was suddenly excited, and his heart was like a bush blown by a breeze, revealing the flowers in the depths.
Could it be that the purpose of his coming here is to fill in the name on the contract?
It's not impossible......
If the assumption is true, then the reason and purpose for his presence seem to have been found.
Although it cannot be confirmed, at least there is a direction to explore.
In addition, Gu Jiancheng noticed a problem -
Why is there a situation where a contract is hand-decided by [Dayuan] with a mutilated name?
Does this also mean that within this civilized empire, there is a great abyss signer at this very moment?
There are many doubts and problems......
Just as he had succeeded in diverting his attention and pondering, the maiden had finished bathing.
Gu Jiancheng came back to his senses, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire his noble personality.
To be honest, he suspected that this suspected Dao sign was the girl herself, or her loved ones, such as ancestors or something.
Otherwise, why did he possess the girl's body?
"Your Highness, please step forward and accept the royal inheritance."
Under the magnificent and grand hall, led by the Gawain knights who had appeared before, a group of knights in heavy armor stood on both sides, all of them with solemn faces, bowing their heads to welcome the arrival of the girl.
An indescribable silence and solemn atmosphere enveloped the temple.
"I declare, the coming-of-age ceremony, officially begins."
A deep and majestic voice came out from the mouth of an old man in gorgeous clothes in front of him, adding another solemnity to the main hall.
The hall was lit with countless bright candles, and there was no extra darkness.
The girl stepped forward slowly.
"Kid, are you ready?"
"Yes, Your Excellency High Priest. I've been preparing for this day. The girl replied softly.
Her gaze was so resolute that the old man couldn't help but be moved.
He pointed to the golden crown at the top: "In accordance with the ancient etiquette of the royal family, the coronation ceremony will begin next month, and in the following month, His Highness will need to pay homage to Dayuan until he obtains the approval of His Majesty Constantine and inherits the throne of the ancestors of the past." â
The girl nodded, "I understand." â
The old man's lips squirmed, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Good luck, the stars have left us, and His Majesty the great Constantine is gone, I hope you can succeed in getting a response from Your Majesty." â
Gu Jiancheng heard the title of "His Majesty Konstantin" again.
Is the long-lost King of the Abyss "Konstantin" his real name?
The girl did not reply.
She raised her head and looked at the top statue, her gaze suddenly hazy, as if covered with a veil, wandering outside the object.
No one knew what she was thinking, not even Gu Jiancheng.
What's more, Gu Jiancheng at this moment has no time to experience the girl's feelings at this moment.
He followed the girl's gaze to the altar in the deepest part of the temple, and his eyes met the statue in it.
At this moment, his cranial nerve pain seemed to be burned red by a soldering iron, and a deafening chaotic sound sounded in his ears.
In reality, he was probably already half-kneeling on the ground, holding his head and hissing and roaring, but at this moment he didn't react, just stared at the idol in front of him in amazement.
The idol of a god almost indistinguishable from his face.
Just like what I saw in a bronze mirror not so long ago.
This moment.
Gu Jiancheng's eyes saw broken pictures one after another.
White, black......
No, it's the color of nothingness, everything is nothing! In the depths of the endless void, someone has carved a path!
It was not a single man, but an overwhelming group of warriors, as if stretching from the easternmost part of the world to the far west, charging with their horns, wearing uniform pitch-black armor, turning into the deepest black in the world, the black that engulfed everything......
In a blur of consciousness, the familiar and unfamiliar whisper echoed in his ears again.
It was a humble and earnest prayer, coming from a distant world, and converging into one name.
In the midst of all these chaotic but unanimous calls, there was a voice that seemed to be captured, infinitely amplified, getting louder and louder, until it reached his ears clearly.
Even though they didn't get along for a long time, Gu Jiancheng still accurately identified the source of this voice-
That's a girl's voice!
ââŠâŠ The Supreme King of the Abyss, I am willing to give everything I have, and please let me be the last sun in the eyes of the 560 million people of the empire in the only time I have left......"
In a trance, Gu Jiancheng seemed to hear himself unconsciously open his mouth to respond to this prayer.
The voice was so tired and slight, but it was full of undeniable majesty, as if in front of him, the mountains and rivers were diverted, and the sun, moon and stars would all shift!
- Accurate.
