How to wear a goddess statue

Through the sedge-woven curtains, the morning light fell softly on the face of the sleeping little princess. Her brows had already been unconsciously relaxed, and she was sleeping peacefully.

There was a chirping of birds outside the window, and Eleuil's eyelashes moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

She seemed to have a dream.

In the dream, images from the memory of growing up flashed one by one, joyful, mournful, and finally ended with the scene of the death of the parents.

This is not the first time the little princess has had a similar dream.On the way to the city of Kadela, on the bumpy carriage, she was awakened by such nightmares several times, and kept her eyes open until dawn.

However, this time, the dream has changed.

The silver-haired river goddess actually appeared in front of him, saying that he would help her return to Acht and ascend the throne that was taken away by her uncle——

The little princess smiled self-deprecatingly.

Even though she has decided not to believe in the so-called gods anymore, she is still aroused by this ridiculous dream. Could it be that in her subconscious, she is still blindly expecting to be saved by the gods?

How weak and self-deceiving.

If this continues, not to mention returning to Wangcheng to rehabilitate his parents, even growing up safely will be difficult.

Aleuil chased away the messy thoughts in his mind and prepared to get up.

Forget it, even if the gods were real, they would not be merciful to a "sinner's daughter" who was cast out of Acht.

From today onwards, all unnecessary emotions should be abandoned. Even if you no longer believe in gods, you must pretend to believe in the river goddess in front of the priestess, otherwise she will be unable to move an inch in this temple...

Aleuil was thinking about the arrangements for the future, calm and methodical. Suddenly, her eyes froze.

On the snow-white bed sheet, a round bead was quietly buried in the pillow. The pure light blue was very familiar, like the two blue chalcedony inlaid in the eye sockets of the statue, and even more like the plain eyes of the silver-haired goddess in the dream. .

Blue chalcedony, the symbolic stone of the goddess of the river Illu.

The little princess picked it up, and heard the sound of her heart beating suddenly and violently.

"—wasn't it a dream?"

"I hope that the little princess will not just regard this as a dream."

Rodas floated above the altar and sighed softly.

Last night, after she had a conversation with Eleuil, she felt that the surrounding scene was a bit unstable, transparent ripples appeared in the air, and the ground began to shake.

Rhodes guessed that the dream was coming to an end. Considering that the little princess might still not be able to see herself after waking up, in order to prevent the other party from taking this conversation as a false fantasy, she needed to leave a reminder.

So Lotus took down the blue bead hanging from his collarbone and put it in the palm of the little princess.

She has an intuition that this bead can be taken out, because it is not a simple ornament, but more similar to the condensation of some kind of power, and it was born to be given to believers.

As a result, as soon as the things were sent out, Luodas felt dizzy for a while. She showed no abnormality, and even maintained an elegant and cool image and said: "The Yilu River will protect you forever."

As soon as the voice fell, he was ejected from the dreamland neatly.

When he regained consciousness, Rhodes had already returned to the sacrificial room where the statue was.

She was not trapped in the statue and couldn't move, but she couldn't leave too far either. The range of free movement was about a circle with the statue as the center and a radius of one meter.

At least it didn't turn back into stone... Rhodes comforted himself like this.

Perhaps this is the consequence of depleting power?

Just as Rodas was silent, the main door of the sacrificial room creaked and was pushed open by the priestess.

This time, Eleuil's petite figure followed the priestess, half a step behind.

From the moment she entered the door, the little princess' eyes were locked on the statue, as if she saw a real miracle.

A blue chalcedony bead was carefully pinched in her hand, and it was warmed by body temperature for a while, but it was still cool.

The noble and dignified statue in front of him gradually overlapped with the figure of the god in the dream.

One is a stone engraving, and the other is a misty spirit body, which is close in front of the eyes, but also gives people the illusion of being far away.

But even if she is high above, she is indeed the one who reached out to herself.

Eleuil pursed her lips.

The priestess took a step forward and sang praises as usual, then she looked at the little princess and said calmly: "I don't know what you figured out yesterday, so you came to me this morning and asked to swear loyalty to the goddess..."

"But please remember that once the oath is over, you are a believer of the goddess. The Kadella Temple will not welcome any believer who betrays the goddess—even you, the princess. Do you understand?"

The little princess blinked and said seriously: "Please rest assured, Mr. Priest."

"You are a princess, so you don't need to use honorific titles for me in the future." The priestess frowned, but seeing Aleuil's appearance, her heart softened again.

This young princess is still very obedient. The silent look yesterday may be because she is a newcomer and she is not ready yet.

Alas, he is also a child with a rough fate. If I can protect him in the future, I will try my best to protect her.

If it was in the city of Acht, the swearing-in ceremony for the princess would definitely be as grand as a festival, but Kadella is a remote town after all, and Eleuil's own status is also a bit embarrassing at the moment, so he had to keep everything simple.

On the altar in front of the statue, three sacrificial candles with gold patterns engraved on the surface were lit. The daily breakfast of the god was removed and replaced with a large aquatic flower whose petals were still stained with dew, placed on a silver plate , is a sacrifice dedicated to the goddess of the Ilu River.

The priestess stood aside, as a witness of the ceremony, her hands solemnly folded in front of her body, and she said loudly: "Prince Eleuil, the great goddess of the Ilu River will come here today, and listen to your oath ... He is the incarnation of all clear water, and all lies are invisible to Him, so, do the oaths you utter follow your heart?"

Aleuil knelt down on one knee, looked up at the god statue, and was in a trance for a moment, but she quickly recovered and did not let the priestess notice her strangeness.

"Everything I say comes from my heart." She said devoutly.

The priestess observed her expression secretly, felt satisfied, then lowered her head and continued to recite the routines that must be read in such ceremonies, without even noticing the complicated flashes in the eyes of the little princess.

After reading a long series of prayers, the priestess finally said: "Now, say your oath to the goddess."

Eleuil bowed his head deeply.

"Holy Rhodes, Immortal Rhodes, please listen to my promise—"

"I will always respect you, believe in you, never betray, never blaspheme, until the soul returns to the distant kingdom of the gods, if I fail to keep my promise in the future, please let the torrent of the Ilu River punish you the forsaken of forgiveness."

She finished the last oath softly: "...I swear to you in the name of Eleuil."

After speaking, she stood up and picked up an aquatic flower placed on the altar.

This kind of flower is called snow tea, usually only white and light blue, it grows in the relatively gentle flow of the Illu River, and is regarded as the flower of Rhodes by the Solancians.

According to the usual practice, the last part of the swearing-in ceremony is to kiss the petals of Xuetu, but for some reason, Aleuil lightly brushed the flower in his hand on the skirt of the statue, and then lowered his head to print on the petals. a kiss.

She looked up, her eyes sparkling.

That gaze was aimed at the statue, but the little princess didn't know that she was looking at the spirit body in front of the statue, and there was no image of Rhodes in her eyes, but Eleuil was reflected in Rhodes' eyes. Upturned little face.

Gentle and well-behaved, cute and pitiful.

But no matter how well behaved a wolf cub is, it is still a wolf.

Rhodes closed his eyes quietly, feeling the strange waves surging inside the spirit body, just like the gentle and regular rushing sound of the Ilu River flowing, playing the opening chapter of a grand movement in a place where no one is around.

She knew that the shackles from the statue were completely untied at this moment.

After taking the oath, the priestess led Eleuil away, and Rhodes followed briskly.

"Princess, from today onwards, you will attend classes in the temple school with other children. I wonder if you have other wishes?"

Eleuil smiled and said, "I trust your arrangement."

There was also a smile on the priestess' rigid face: "That's good, I'll take you to the front of the school. If you have any questions, any scribes and lower priests in the temple are always ready to provide answers."

"Well, thank you."

The school is located on the ground floor of a small three-story building, not far from the sacrificial room. The priestess sent the little princess here, then bowed and left.As the head of the temple, she still has a lot to do.

Ailuil straightened his clothes and walked into the school with his head held high.

Rhodes relied on the fact that no one could see her, so he floated in front of her majestically.

The so-called school can only be regarded as a classroom, the area is not large, and the total number of students is less than 20.

The seating arrangement is very distinctive. Dozens of small tables and chairs are arranged in three concentric circles, leaving a wide gap for entry and exit on the same side. An old scribe who is a teacher sits in the middle of the concentric circles, shaking his head and reading aloud. The content of the papyrus.

The arrival of Aleuil interrupted their learning process, and one by one small faces turned around, with different expressions of curiosity, excitement, contempt and hostility.

The old scribe coughed: "Ahem, you are Princess Eleuil from Acht, right?"

The little princess said politely, "Yes, teacher."

Said, but also a salute.

This startled the old scribe, and he quickly stood up: "I don't deserve it, please don't call it that..."

Although she knew in her heart that this princess might not have any future to speak of, she was still a princess!If this happened before the death of the late king, the scribes in the remote temple would not even be qualified to meet her, let alone be called a teacher.

Aleuil shook his head: "The one who imparts knowledge is the teacher, I still know this, please don't refuse the teacher."

"This, this... Well, it's up to you. You can choose any empty seat here. If there are no other questions, let us continue to study this poem praising the first King Soran..."

Eleuil calmly walked to the outermost edge of the concentric circle, and sat down in a seat where there was no one next to him.

Rhodes looked back and forth among the students.

The Talsa she had seen before was also here. This proud girl looked at the old scribe intently, and did not cast any glances at Eleuil, but more children lowered their heads and exchanged meaningful glances. , A restless atmosphere spread in this small room.

The little princess adapted quickly. In fact, with her talent and the education she received in Wangcheng, the level of children here is really not enough.

But Aleuil is very quiet, unless the old scribe asks her by name, she will never show her ability. Even so, she still received praise from the scribe. Convinced eyes.

Classes don't end until noon.

Seeing that the little princess had nothing to pay attention to, Rhodes looked up, and she controlled herself to rise up suddenly, passing through the ceiling to the second floor of the small building.

Every temple must have a library.

The library of the Kadella Temple is located above the school.

The author has something to say:

2612: Facing an overly simple course, I am very irritable, but I still have to pretend to be courteous. I really want to go back to my room and dream (?)

Thanks to the little cutie who throws thunder!
