Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Faced with the two girls' respective good reasons, Roja naturally couldn't refute it. In desperation, the boy could only agree to the three of them participating in the ancestor worship ceremony to calm down the fight.

Naturally, both Charlotte and Alisa were dissatisfied with this, but in the absence of Cartier, the decision-making power for the Akat family's affairs rested with the young man, and on the other hand, time was a little too late.

Leaving aside the fact that Master Andrew's team is about to enter the city, even the New Year makes Roja's time extremely tense.

At this time last year, Roja missed the New Year at home because he went to the east to help Noelle. This year, he should have made up for it. After the war on the front line, the chances of Cartier returning home were greatly reduced. This year may be the last chance.

Under such circumstances, Roja must rush back to Acate as soon as possible to reunite the family, and the matter of worshiping the ancestors must be resolved quickly. As for the rules that seem to be unreasonable, they can't manage so much now.

After Roja made a decision that everyone would participate, Rose's various departments also started to operate at full capacity, and the ceremony went smoothly on the second day after the remains of the Alder family from the Sanjiehui were brought back.

There was a surge of people in Rose City that day, and they were all people who had heard the news and came to watch the ceremony. On the other side, the Rose army outside the Shia Temple sent heavy guards, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

The three representatives of the Acate family who attended the ceremony attended the ceremony one after another, and as some of the remains and blood of the ancestors were reduced to ashes in the holy fire of the temple, Roja's heart finally relaxed a little.

The long ringing of the bell accompanied by the ringing of the flames made Roja filled with emotion for a moment. Now, after thousands of years, letting the desecrated ancestors go to the ground is probably the only thing Roja can do for them, and After dealing with the past, the dark-haired boy was finally able to focus all his attention on the future.

The young man who thought this way looked at the passage in his body that had not moved, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Chapter 520 Parting Time

Worshiping ancestors is undoubtedly a serious matter, but from Roja's point of view, it is also a troublesome matter to some extent.

Inside the simple and elegant Temple of the Primordial Mother Goddess in Rose City, the black-haired boy looked at the remains of his ancestors quietly burning in the flames and said nothing, while behind him were two girls carrying the same stone box.

The black stone box is not an ordinary material, but it is specially made of the stone of requiem transported from the north of the Theocracy. It has been the designated coffin material of the Akat family for thousands of years. As long as the body is put in it, no matter what the external environment is There will be no necromantic phenomenon in the change.

For the nobles, it is very damaging to the prestige of the family if the ancestors make a fool of themselves, and obviously, no one would want their ancestors to come out of the grave to enjoy life in the underworld occasionally, so the Requiem Stone is almost inevitable Choose, but this time it's not a coffin.

After the team led by Master Andrew returned to Rose, Roja had checked in detail the remains of the ancestors of the Alder family found by the Saint Jiehui. Regrettably, most of them were blood and internal organs, and there were not complete ones. The human body structure, and because of its millennia, is in a poor state of preservation.

This kind of situation naturally cannot be put into the coffin, and after touching it with his hands, Roja did not feel any soul remnants in it, so he couldn't see the memory of his ancestors like the tree priest did once.

The black-haired boy was quite disappointed, but he was not too surprised. After all, compared with the heart preserved by the tree priest, although these remains were also thousands of years ago, they were already simple dead things.

It was also because of this that this time Roja was not as sad as before, and was more like dealing with the remains. After a little discussion with Charlotte, the two unanimously decided to burn the remains on the spot.

St. Jay's demand for these blood and remains will never stop because they are buried in a coffin. The two are almost 100% sure of this. In order to cut off the thoughts of cultists, Roja can only choose to be in the original goddess. Dispose of these things in the temple.

Looking at the burning flame of mantra, the two girls holding the stone box in their hands have serious faces. Due to the customs of the original Goddess, today's Elisa and Charlotte are wearing clothes with white as the main color. It looks exceptionally delicate.

Alisa's silver hair and white-toned dress are as eye-catching as the snow in early winter, while Charlotte's brown-red hair and white-toned clothes form a sharp color difference, giving people a priestly look. Holiness.

The beautiful scenery formed by the two girls is amazing, but beside them, the black-haired boy is thinking about other things.

Today is the day when Roja and others pay homage to their ancestors. This can be said to be well known. Both Charlotte and Alyssa have indeed focused all their attention on this solemn event, but in fact Roja For him, today has another meaning, that is, today is the day of his complete recovery.

After experiencing the death fight with [Lord of Death Tide], Roja's body has been in a weak state, the Crown Stone is temporarily unavailable, and the channel with Altasia is not opened for some reason.

Regarding this point, Roja didn't think too much at first, after all, whether it's because of Altasia himself or Roja's body, time can solve it.

The witch's quarrel happened occasionally in the past, but most of the time he was fine after a few days, and Roja's body was also recovering steadily. In the peaceful atmosphere after the battle, the black-haired boy could completely ignore it. Choose to wait slowly.

However, as time went by, things gradually exceeded the boy's expectations. It has been more than a week since Gulandar and others returned, but Artasia still hasn't moved at all.

Today, when worshiping the ancestors, Roja's body recovered completely, and the use of the crown stone also returned to normal, but there was still no movement from the Witch King. This strange situation made Roja extremely uneasy.

The contract concluded by the bloodline of the Acate family is not something that can be perfunctory. For an ancient king like Altasia, it has already passed away, and Roja is the anchor of her existence in this world.

Just like a boat without a fixed point will drift away from the shore and disappear into the boundless sea, if Altasia is not connected to the anchor point of Roja for a long time, it is likely to be swallowed by the other shore again, and follow the rules of the world again, Enter the ranks of the dead.

No matter what the Witch King wants to do or what opinion she has on Roja, these are the consequences she cannot bear, and with the teenager's understanding of the white-haired witch, Altasia will not do such a reckless act lift.

Wasn't it voluntary by the witch, that is to say, it was some kind of coercive force?

Looking at the raging flames in front of him, the black-haired boy couldn't help but frowned slightly, thinking about various possibilities in his mind, but until the bell of the temple rang, and the hymn began to be sung amidst the sound of musical instruments, Roja's mind Still don't have any clue.

"Honey? What's the matter?"

"No, nothing."

Seemingly realizing that Roja's mood was wrong, the brown-red-haired girl asked softly during the ceremony, but upon hearing Charlotte's concerned words, Roja smiled and shook his head, showing that he was fine. The appearance made the girl feel at ease, and at the same time she sighed inwardly and pulled her attention back.

There is still too little information now, and it is really hard to do anything just by relying on imagination, so I simply don’t think about it for the time being. No matter what the situation on Altasia’s side is, Roja has no good way to deal with it when he has no clue. For Roja now, there are obviously more urgent matters.

After the hymn, the remains of the ancestors of Alder's family had been burned, and the blood had been destroyed. With the completion of the most important part of the ceremony, the two girls also stepped forward and put down the requiem stone box in their hands. Roja put the remains in by himself.

After some meticulous operations, the black-haired boy completed the transfer of the remains with a serious face, and the two girls who were supposed to be wives also stepped forward one after another, carefully covering the stone box and sealing it.

At this point, the ceremony of worshiping the ancestors finally came to an end, and the crowd watching the ceremony burst into applause, while the two girls on the other side each held a stone box to salute the crowd.

The salutes of the delicate girls caused another round of applause, and Roja, who saw this scene, was also relieved, and secretly sighed for the blessing of his ancestors, and finally survived this difficulty.

Because Alisa and Charlotte quarreled too much yesterday, Roja made an exception and let both of them participate in the ceremony, but what the black-haired boy didn't expect was that the problem was not resolved.

Just like what Roja did just now, the last step of this ritual of worshiping ancestors requires a bone picker and a keeper behind him holding a stone box to work together. Generally speaking, it is a husband and wife among the descendants, After Roja became the bone picker, the identity of the custodian became the focus of the struggle between Alyssa and Charlotte, and she had no intention of backing down.

After all, for the two girls, if they just participated in the ceremony and failed to become the custodians, it would be like being raped on the spot. It is better not to participate in this ceremony, and after understanding this, Roja also started to get dizzy, no It is good to know exactly who should be the custodian.

To be honest, although the position of the custodian is important, in Roja's eyes, the two girls can actually be competent by anyone. Now if you have to choose one, it is tantamount to killing three people with two peaches.

However, what Roja didn't expect was that just when he was extremely entangled, Andrew, who escorted the remains back, gave him a word to clear the sky.

"After our collection and sorting, we can basically confirm that these remains and blood are from two people..."

"!"

The white-bearded old man who said this was a bit cautious, worried that Roja would feel uncomfortable when he heard the news, but what he didn't expect was that the black-haired boy suddenly had a strange expression after hearing this, and then put his hands together Putting palms together and praying to the sky and the earth, it looks like the ancestors are showing their spirits.
