Little Priest's Cat Diary

A hoarse and thick female voice came from behind, and Mia subconsciously looked back.

Someone stepped out of the shadows, and his snow-white hair was particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.

It was a middle-aged woman, slightly shorter than him, wearing a dark green robe.

On her coiled snow-white hair, she wore a canopy made of emerald green branches and leaves.

On the wrists of her hands are jade-like and crystal-like bracelets, which are translucent milky white.

Apart from that, there are no other ornaments on the whole body.

Before Mia could speak, she heard a meow.

The little black cat that had been squatting under the huge stone pillar walked to the feet of the priestess, but instead of rubbing against him coquettishly, it meowed again at the priestess.

The priestess lowered her head, met the golden eyes of the black cat, and smiled.

Then, she looked up at Mia again.

Mia looked at the middle-aged priestess who appeared in front of her.

On the way to the temple, Fanaya had repeatedly told him that the priest had a pivotal position in their clan.

Because the priest is the agent of God.

The words that come out of her mouth are the will of God.

Even the patriarch of Hitaya must obey the will of God.

At that time he asked Fanaya, who is the god you believe in?

Fanaya shook his head without answering.

Now standing in front of this giant stone pillar, Mia understood.

Luna Goddess Davia.

This is the deity believed by the Hitaya family.

It's not that there are no people in the world who believe in the Moon God, but they also believe in the three main gods.

But the Hitaya people are obviously different from those people. They belong to a very rare tribe that only believes in a single god.

It is said that this is only true of tribes that are regarded as kin of a god.

"It's been a thousand years..."

The voice of the middle-aged priestess was extremely thick.

Her words sounded like a sigh.

Her appearance is ordinary, but those eyes that stare at people seem to be able to see through the depths of people's hearts.

"Son, do you know what the word 'hitaya' means?"

"..."

Miya didn't answer.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the priestess said just now and what he said now, so he could only look at the priestess with puzzled eyes.

The priestess leaned over and held out her hand.

The sun fell on the bracelet on her wrist that looked like jade but not jade, like crystal and not like crystal.

When the originally translucent milky white bracelet is illuminated by light, it reflects a blue luster like sea water.

Mia finally reacted.

This bracelet is... a moonstone.

As soon as the priestess stretched out her hand, the little black cat jumped on the back of her hand, then trotted along her arm, and ran onto the priestess' shoulder.

Squatting on the shoulder of the priestess, it stared at Mia with a pair of golden eyes.

"'Hitaya'...in the ancient language it means 'those who watch'."

The hoarse voice of the priestess echoed in the silent hall.

She stared at the huge stone pillar in front of her.

"Our family has been guarding here for a thousand years, waiting for the return of 'the Lord'."

Mia was silent for a while, and he said, "Why did you tell me that?"

After a pause, he continued to ask: "Why do you want to see me? I don't even know why I came there."

The priestess smiled.

If it was said that her expression was a bit solemn and heavy at the beginning, then her smile now reveals a bit of gentleness.

"Not urgent."

She looked at the boy gently.

"Son, listen to me tell a story patiently first."

She smiled and said,

"Maybe...it should be called a legend?"

…………

millennia ago.

In that ancient era, humans on the earth were blessed and protected by the gods.

The gods gave human beings a status above other creatures.

Under the blessing of the gods, human beings thrive on the earth and live a life of abundance and carefree.

However, the gully is hard to fill.

Human nature is greedy.

Unknowingly, their desires began to swell.

When desire rises, darkness follows.

Pride, jealousy, lust, greed, laziness, etc., those sins gradually corrupted human beings, and they began to become arrogant, fighting with each other, and slaughtering other creatures wantonly.

Sin spread across the earth, and the whole earth became a miasma.

Finally, the fallen humans angered the gods, and they decided to destroy all evil humans.

The gods created a flawless woman.

She has a demonic allure, even the most beautiful goddess can't compare to her charm.

Her gaze can charm everything, and all men who see her will be crazy about it.

This incomparably beautiful woman brought disaster to the world.

The kings on the earth fought frantically for her, and countless people died in one endless war after another.

And when human blood flowed all over the earth due to killing, disaster struck.

First, the plague spread.

Then, the strong wind raged and swept everything high into the sky.

At the same time, thunder and lightning flashed, and landslides and ground cracks.

The vibrating ground split open, and the ferocious mouth was like an invisible monster devouring countless people.

Hot lava gushes from the cracked earth, eroding the fleeing people.

The sun and the moon are gone.

Some places are so dry that no grass grows.

In some places, the flood was raging, as if it wanted to wash away all the sins on the earth.

And amidst these catastrophes, the war has not stopped.

Every day, countless people die because of killing each other.

Humanity has plunged into the abyss of despair.

When human beings were going to be destroyed step by step, a small group of kind-hearted people fled to the seaside.

The tsunami roared to swallow the people by the sea.

These people knelt by the sea in despair and prayed to Sepul, the god of the sea, with tears.

At the moment when the waves were about to engulf everyone, suddenly, the waves more than ten meters high split from the middle.

Cracked waves rush past people.

People's eyes widened.

They saw, in the parting waves, a young man was walking towards them slowly stepping on a huge sea beast.

The beloved son of the sea god came to the world.

The tsunami calmed because of him, the storm stopped because of him, and the earth stopped trembling.

The moment the boy appeared, all disasters were gone.

That is...the 'hope' bestowed upon mankind by the benevolent Sepul.

A boy with blue eyes.

God's son.

He has beautiful eyes that are as blue and clear as the sea, and he has a benevolent heart like the sea god.

His tolerant and gentle mind is like a vast and boundless sea.

He took the rescued people to the continent filled with darkness and disaster.

Wherever he went, the flood receded.

Where he stepped, the earth stopped shaking, and the mountains stopped collapsing.

Lava recedes deep underground.

The plague dissipated.

He let the bright sun shine down on the earth again.

He let the gentle moonlight bless the world again.

When all natural disasters disappeared and the world returned to peace, the young man led his followers to quell the war.

The boy is gentle, but he is also tough.

He grants forgiveness to those who recognize the sin and are willing to stop the war.

Those who refused to stop the war, he led his army to completely defeat the opponent.

Countless people followed behind him, believing in him almost fanatically.

Thanks to his efforts, the chaos on the earth subsided little by little.

Soon, human beings finally returned to a peaceful and peaceful life.

Hope to return to the once desperate world.

However, as said before, the gap is hard to fill.

When everything on the surface calmed down, the undercurrent hidden in the darkness began to surge.

Human desires are endless.

Power is insane.

That day, in the dark night, under the gentle moonlight.

The sharp sword pierced from the shadow pierced the boy's chest.

The boy fell on the rocks by the sea, his blue eyes lost their light forever.

The 'hope' that saved humanity.

In the end, it was also destroyed by human hands.

That night, the blood that flowed from the boy's chest flowed into the sea, dyeing the sea in blood.

That night, the originally gentle moonlight also turned into a shocking blood red.

The blood-red moonlight shrouded the earth, with a madness that seemed to want to destroy everything.

There seemed to be mournful and frantic cries in the whistling wind.

all night long...

…………

………………

While the middle-aged priestess was talking in a hoarse voice, the little black cat squatted quietly on her shoulder.

All of a sudden, it let out a cry, and then jumped up, lightly jumping from the shoulder of the priestess to the shoulder of the boy.

It moved to the side of the boy, and gently licked away the teardrops on the boy's cheeks with its small pink tongue.

The priestess stopped talking.

She looked at Mia gently.

She said, "Why are you crying?"

Mia raised her hand, his expression was dazed.

When his fingertips touched the wetness on his cheek, he was also a little dazed.

Why are you crying?

he does not know.

He only knew that when he heard the legend, he felt very sad.

Very uncomfortable.

His chest seemed to be tightly blocked by something, and he could hardly breathe.

He raised his head blankly, and his eyes met the eyes of the goddess on the huge mural on the stone pillar.

Although the goddess in the mural had a majestic look and the anger in her eyes was like thunder, but just like what he had seen in that ancient temple, he seemed to be able to see a deep mourning from the cold face of the goddess.

That kind of sadness... inexplicably infected the bottom of his heart...

He... is he...

"'Mourning Davia'."

Following Mia's gaze, the priestess also looked up at the mural.

"The name of this mural."

"But not everyone can see her mourning."

After saying that, she turned the topic back to just now and continued talking.

"After that, the 'hope' was lost, and the human beings who were originally united by the same belief were torn apart again."

"They dispersed slowly, or rebuilt their homes, or established new kingdoms, and started their lives again."

"But there is a group of people who saw the Son of God appearing from the sea and saved them from the tsunami with their own eyes, guarding the place where the Son of God died."

The priestess closed her eyes.

She repeated the words she had said in a chanting voice.

"[After a thousand years, he will return from the sea again]."

"'Hitaya', the watchers, our family has been watching for the return of 'him'."

The young man stared blankly at the mural, and the tears reflected light water on his slightly pale cheeks.

The little black cat gently licked away the tear stains on the boy's cheeks, rubbed its fluffy head against the corners of the boy's eyes, and meowed softly, as if to comfort the boy.

After a long time, Mia withdrew her gaze and looked at the priestess again.

"I still don't understand...how do I..."

The priestess smiled softly.

"It's okay if you don't understand."

She said, taking off a bracelet from her wrist, holding Mia's hand, and putting the moonstone bracelet on Mia's wrist.

She held Mia's left hand that had just been put on the bracelet with the remaining right hand that was wearing the bracelet, and led the boy towards the outside of the temple.

The door is open.

Bright sunlight pours down.

Dazzlingly bright.

Mia narrowed her eyes, and after getting used to the sunlight, he was surprised to find that the bottom of the temple was already full of people.

When he was listening to the priestess tell the legend in the temple, the Hitaya people had gathered in front of the temple at some point.

He stood on the steps and looked down, and saw Fanaya standing in front of him.

Fanaya's eyes fell on Mia's hand held by the priestess, and her pupils shrank slightly.

The two moonstone bracelets reflect each other in the sun, and the milky white reflects the blue shimmer.

The priestess raised her hand.

The temple became silent in an instant.

"According to the will of the great Devia—"

The thick voice of the priestess spread in the open space in front of the temple and reached everyone's ears.

She held Mia's hand and held it forward.

"This young man will inherit the name of Priest of the Moon God in the future."

"He will lead the Hitaya family on a new path in the future."

The loud voice of the priestess echoed in front of the temple.

After a moment of silence, the Hitaya people below lowered their heads deeply.

That is God's will, and they will obey it faithfully.

……

………………

It was already evening, and in the outer hall on one side of the temple, a group of people sat on the ground surrounded by people.

There is a low table in front of everyone, with delicious food and wine on it.

"Wait, you just became the successor of Lord Priest?"

Shiva looked at Mia blankly.

"Master Priest, that's the Priest of the Moon God, Da, man, hey!!"

He jumped out word by word.

"Let's not say that you are not even a Hittaya, you have only been in our clan for a few days!"

"...I don't know how it became like this."

Mia is also dumbfounded.

One inattentive, he changed from a priest of the sea god to a priest of the moon god.

He himself was caught off guard.

"This is... Fanaya! You are talking! What are you thinking?"

Fanaya, who had been thinking, glanced at her friend.

He said: "I remember that every priest has to choose a few guards."

Shiva: "..."

This old hen protecting the calf is hopeless.

He still wanted to speak, and the priestess who called him and Fanaya to accompany Miya to the banquet came in from one side.

Shiva immediately shut up and sat down obediently.

As soon as the priestess appeared, the atmosphere became much more serious.

Everyone shut their mouths and quietly ate the food on the table in front of them.

The hall was quiet, with only the slight sound of eating.

While eating, Mia fed something to the little black cat stuck beside him, and wondered whether to ask the priestess directly about the location of this forest and whether she knew about the country of Portoyas after eating. The problem.

After making a decision, he stabilized his mind, picked up the water glass and drank.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and a young Hittaya rushed over.

"It's not good! My lord priest!"

He said to the priestess in panic.

"Emperor Sardis of the Portoyas Empire is here!"

puff--! ! !

Miya spit out all the water in a mouthful.
