I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

The golden carriage drove smoothly to the entrance of the temple.

The temple is huge.

In addition to the six surrounding temples of the subordinate gods of the Creator God, a high tower in the center, and a seminary on the periphery, there are guards of the temple outside the seminary. The carriage stop is the place where the guards are.

In order to show respect for the gods, within the scope of the inner area, no one can fly recklessly in the sky, no matter whether it is ordinary people with divine power or bishops who serve as priests in the temple, they can only walk steadily on the ground.

Even Xu Jiao and Lilith got out of the carriage and walked in from the place where the guards lived in the direction of the Sun Temple.

The golden arch stands tall like a triumphal arch, and in the center of the arch is a statue of a brilliant sun, which symbolizes that the glory of the sun never sets will shine on the earth forever.

No matter who walks under this arch, it is equivalent to receiving the blessing from the sun god. They will stay away from darkness in their lives and return to the light. Even their souls will be blazing after death.

Xu Jiao herself is not interested in these settings, but Lilith is quite fascinated by what Andrew said, just like when she first entered the carriage, her blue eyes looked east and west along the place Andrew pointed, and when she met When it is time to salute, he will also piously perform the etiquette that a Sun God believer should have.

The believers, guards, and even the ordinary people who were born to live near the temple and were chosen to serve the priests of the temple all had the same yearning as Lilith on their faces, even more fanaticism. and.

Although such a world full of gods and fanaticism was constructed by her, at this moment Xu Jiao really feels out of place among the crowd, because her expression is cold like a tourist, but fortunately she is a saint. Her identity has been made public. In people's eyes, she seems to have automatically brought a layer of divine light, and even her indifferent expression seems to be different from other living beings.

Like a rose blooming alone in the corner.

Xu Jiao followed Andrew all the way in. Whether it was ordinary people or guards on the side of the road, they would automatically salute them. As far as I saw along the way, the armor of the guards was all golden, and even the servants were more or less wearing gold armor. Such a color, as if it could be favored by the sun god.

Pass through where the guards are, and you will come to the Sun Academy.

At this time, there was no such thing as school uniforms in the school. Although the treatment in the college was very good, and various banquets were held every year, the seminary would not give the students who had not passed the selection treatment in terms of clothing, so at a glance You can see the common people and the rich inside.

There are also descendants of fallen nobles and powerful lords.

Xu Jiao glanced roughly, and saw several people dressed like princesses in exquisite clothes and beautiful fabrics. At the same time, she also saw a few plainly dressed people chasing after a young boy. as a slave.

Magic seems to have changed nothing.

People who clearly possess the affinity for divine arts come here as if they have been given a second life, but those deep-rooted things in the original world seem to be imprinted with their birth, even if they come to this place. Nothing has changed.

Lilith suddenly moved behind her

I took a step back heartily.

Xu Jiao heard that not far ahead, one of the girls who were guarding a princess dressed as a princess walked over arrogantly. After saluting Andrew, she looked behind Xu Jiao and said in a strange way. :

"Anna, come and have a look, isn't this the younger sister who should help our hard-working mother at home to relieve housework? How dare this little poor thing enter such a sacred place as Guangming Academy? I think she may have a lesson to teach."

The person she called Anna also came over. She looked somewhat similar to this girl, but with short hair and a bow on her hair, which made her look a bit playful:

"Of course, Grace, I guess she must have secretly lied to some adult to get in. You see, she even changed her dishcloth secretly, and now she pretends not to know us, That's not good."

"As her elder sister, we have the obligation to tell her that a little mouse that is not favored by the Sun God should not come to such a place."

Xu Jiao felt the person hiding behind her tremble unconsciously.

Because she was clutching the corner of her clothes so tightly that it was almost on her body.

It seems like...

The most timid heroine she had ever seen.

Xu Jiao looked at Grace and Anna in front of her, and heard a pitiful voice behind her: "An, Sister Anna, Sister Grace."

Andrew also glanced at Xu Jiao's expression, seeing that her expression was indifferent, and he was a little confused for a moment whether she wanted to stand out, so he smiled and smoothed things over: "Children, there may be some misunderstanding here."

"Lilith is the girl we chose to serve the saint."

"Saint?" Anna followed his gaze and saw Xu Jiao with black hair and black eyes. Just now, she wanted to ask Andrew if this was a heretic who was arrested and dealt with. However, after hearing what Andrew said, her eyes revealed Full of surprise.

He even forgot to salute.

It was Grace who pulled her, and the two hurriedly greeted each other. Grace smiled and said to Xu Jiao: "I'm sorry, we haven't met the saint, and I'm a little rude. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing that Xu Jiao didn't care about it, she and Anna looked at each other, and said: "However, to be honest, my younger sister is a bit clumsy in doing things, and even has some small problems that are hard to correct. If you want, Anna and I may Will do better than her."

They were very straightforward...began to recommend themselves.

He even denied her without hesitation in front of Lilith.

Xu Jiao looked at them steadily, and saw the undisguised desire in their eyes, which was the desire for power and superiority.

Or you could call it ambition.

In front of these two strong sisters, Lilith is like an unremarkable weed on the side of the road. She has low self-esteem and timidity, and she seems so insignificant in such a place where she can openly show love and recommend herself to the gods.

Andrew came to the academy to teach the children a few lessons before, he liked such a confident little girl very much, and immediately suggested to Xu Jiao with a smile:

"I think, if you like, you can really pick a few peers in the academy and let them enter the temple to accompany you, study and live with you, so that you will adapt faster."

"Of course, this is just a trivial suggestion. All choices are up to you, my venerable saint."

Xu Jiao's expression moved, as if she was really moved by what he said.

Then, she turned her body slightly, looked at Lilith behind her, and asked her, "What do you think?"

Lilith didn't dare to lift her head, her fear of the two sisters went deep into her bones, she trembled unconsciously, when she heard Xu Jiao's words, she raised her chin blankly, glanced at Xu Jiao hastily, and swallowed spit, and then said:

"me……"

Xu Jiao repeated patiently: "Do you think I should let them serve me with you?"

Lilith: "!"

She couldn't believe that such a decision of the saint would be left to herself. In her opinion, Xu Jiao's words were more like a temptation. Some people said that no matter what god they are, they all like kind and tolerant girls. Son.

So Lilith suppressed her true thoughts and tried to squeeze out a small sentence from her teeth:

"You... If you like it, it doesn't matter to me, my sisters... They are all good-looking and know a lot of etiquette. They have learned a lot of knowledge in the seminary, and they will definitely help you a lot."

Hearing what she said, Grace and Anna showed her a smile that you still know.

Hearing what she said, Xu Jiao raised her eyebrows a little. This wasn't too big, but it gave people a feeling that her decision was everything, which made Lilith's two sisters start to worry.

after awhile.

Xu Jiao hooked her lips slightly, followed her words and said, "Since your suggestion is so pertinent, maybe I should adopt it?"

Andrew continued in a very polite manner: "Congratulations, two young ladies of the Yate family, you have obtained the qualifications to enter the temple. Someone from the temple will guide you later, please wait here."

Grace and Anna were overjoyed and pulled their skirts to salute him: "Thank you, and may the light of the sun god shine on you forever, my dear Bishop Andrew."

……

Xu Jiao and Lilith continued to walk in.

Ever since she found out that her two older sisters were also going to enter the temple, Lilith's expression no longer showed the excitement just now, but instead became depressed, like a bird caught from a branch and put into a cage, Lost the lively breath.

The surrounding scenery could no longer attract her, and even her light-blond hair was darkened.

Until Andrew first entered the Temple of the Sun to report to the Pope, leaving the two of them to wait outside.

Xu Jiao suddenly asked: "Lilith, are you unhappy?"

Lilith suddenly heard her concern, pursed her lips, observed her expression, and answered softly after a long time: "I..."

"Don't lie to me." Xu Jiao reminded suddenly.

Lilith could only swallow the phrase "it's okay", and replaced it with another sentence: "A little bit, I think this journey is too long, I'm a little tired, but I will soon Rest well!"

She made a promise to Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao stared into her sea-blue eyes, and said after a while, "No."

She pointed out: "You became unhappy when I promised your two sisters to serve me, Lilith, isn't this your suggestion? Why are you unhappy?"

Lilith: "..."

She could not speak, but bowed her head in shame.

As if ashamed of himself for displaying his vile personal emotions so clearly.

Xu Jiao answered for her: "Because they abused you at home like your stepmother, you don't like them, and you also hate them."

Lilith was startled: "Your Excellency the Holy Maiden..."

Xu Jiao continued: "In this case, why do you pretend to be tolerant and stay in the same room with them?"

Lilith blinked her eyes, as if it was about to rain, she answered softly after a long time: "God said that jealousy, disgust, dislike, are all bad emotions, I...I don't want to Make you think I'm a bad boy."

"wrong."

Xu Jiao is much taller than her. At this moment, she bent down and approached her with a soft scent of flowers: "God created angels, and he likes this race the most. He gave them all the good qualities, kindness, justice, and brilliance, but there are still angels who fall. Become a demon king."

"Later, God created human beings. Human beings have bad negative morals and are failures, but they eventually became God's greatest source of faith."

"Lilith, as a human being, you should have emotions and desires. You can like others or not. There is nothing shameful about it, you know?"

Lilith nodded with a half understanding.

Xu Jiao turned around again, and after a while, Lilith's hand gently pulled down the fabric around her waist, and asked cautiously: "Then...then I don't like my sisters, can you please?" Don't let them come?"

There was a smile in Xu Jiao's eyes.

Then she turned her head and replied gently: "No."

"It's your punishment for being dishonest," she said.
