How to wear a goddess statue

Gods don't dream, and the scenes that flash in their consciousness when they are asleep must be the real or possible future of the past.

Thinking through layers of water curtains, cruising through kaleidoscope-like tunnels, leading Rhodes to see the past in memory.

The day of crossing seems to be just an ordinary day.

The sky was drizzling and the mist was hazy. Lotus put away the umbrella and put it in the storage area, and walked slowly into the National Museum with the fellow travelers.

The ancient Solan special exhibition area displays some cultural relics from that era that have survived to the present. They lie quietly in special glass-sealed showcases, silently telling the glory of the kingdom.

Solancia lived 3000 years apart from the modern era of Rhodes, and was listed as one of the greatest ancient civilizations in human history by historical researchers. Unfortunately, she has long been lost in the long river of time, leaving only these incomplete The records of cultural relics have made future generations painstakingly guess, explore and explore.

In my memory, Lautas has slightly curly black hair, and his appearance is eight-quarters like that of the river goddess, but he is more friendly.

Unlike other excited and active tourists, Rhodes was as quiet as a painting. She walked and stopped in front of the showcase, and finally stopped by a separate showcase.

a mirror.A round bronze mirror inlaid with gold on the edge and inlaid with sapphire in the center. The gold frame is engraved with snake patterns, and the snake letter reaches the tip of the tail, enclosing the mirror that has been shining for thousands of years.

As if he had attracted all the attention, Rhodes unconsciously leaned forward, and indeed saw his own face in the mirror.

But no, the person in the mirror has very light hair, classic clothes, and a look of desperate determination, that's not her.

In the next moment, the mirror image was reversed, and the world was turned upside down. In the suffocating feeling of being plunged into the chaotic deep sea, Rhodes lost consciousness.

This is all that happened, or rather, all that she thought, before the River Goddess regained her senses as a stone statue in the Kadela Temple.

Why didn't I notice it before? Those memories in modern times are as old as they happened in her previous life. Luo Dasi attributed this feeling of being separated from another world to the illusion caused by time travel, but the truth is probably that she has been separated from the past by thousands of years.

Whether at the beginning of the establishment of the myth system, she had already come to Solancia at that time.

What kind of role did he play to be able to wake up the incarnation god at this time?

Rhodes didn't know, but she wanted to know.

On the dome of the temple, the dots of stars beside the river line are twinkling.

Every short period of time, a ray of light would fall from above, sink into the pool where Rhodes was, and be crushed into tiny stardust, which would be absorbed into the body of the god little by little.

The whole process is slow and orderly, and there are countless light spots flickering in the place where the faith gathers. If you want to fully collect them for your own use, the time spent will be measured in years.

The fingertips of the gods moved slightly at this moment, and they returned to silence.

The speed at which the light spots of faith fell then accelerated a bit.

Even in his deep sleep, Rhodes seemed to remember that he had to do it as soon as possible.

Because there are still people waiting for her to go back.

With the murmur of the water, Eleuil walked out of the hole in the rock of the secret training ground, took off his coat expressionlessly, and jumped into the water.

Swimming across the Baiyilu River that flows through here, the princess stood drenched on the opposite bank, beckoning casually, and two golden eagles swooped down, throwing a change of clothes and a large cloth towel on her outstretched arms .

Eleuil wiped off the water drops, put on his coat, and prepared to go back to the Kadela Temple.

Today is her last day in Cadella.

In a few days, the holiday will be over, and the princess must return to Digbia before then, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of military discipline.

In fact, before that, Eleuil set off to return after wanting to participate in the festival, but after the festival was over, she couldn't help but stay there, procrastinating until there was no longer any delay.

In the past few days, Eleuil basically spent time in the sacrificial room. In terms of starting the sacrificial room, she worked harder than the two priests of the temple.

Without knowing it, everyone in the temple praised the princess for her devotion to the goddess Rhodes, and lamented that it was no wonder that she was the only one favored by the goddess.

On the last day, Eleuil went to the secret valley, stood in front of the wide Baiyilu River, and suddenly realized that no one would take her across the river this time.

There are no avatars of gods, and no Miss Messenger.

Eleuil still swam over by herself, the river was still cold in early spring, she felt a little wronged.

Even if something happened to the Kingdom of God, even if the Goddess is really busy, you can always let Miss Messenger come over, right?At least, you can respond to her even once.

However, no.

So the princess began to worry again, whether something serious happened to the kingdom of the gods, so that Rhodes was so exhausted that he couldn't spare any extra thoughts.

Thinking of this, she became extremely worried, wishing she had the ability to know what happened, even if she could help a little...

In such wild thoughts, Eleuil, who should have been able to enter through the main entrance openly, wandered all the way to the back wall of the temple.

After all, after climbing over the wall for three years, it is a matter of habit.

Aleuil came to his senses and pressed his forehead, thinking that it would be okay to turn over the wall again.

She took two steps back, and was just about to run up to use her strength to cross the wall, when the tip of her ear moved suddenly, and her expression suddenly changed.

The subtle sound of wind mixed with the sound of clothes rubbing and the woman panting and groaning, fell into the ears of the princess.

Of course Eleuil knew what that sound was.

She was with the army and killed the Sanurs who looted the villages of Solan. When they reached the occupied villages, they always saw the ugliest greed. Those greedy Sanurs plundered food and cloth, and also plundered defenseless women. , show the ugly without any scruples.

But at this moment, what Aleuil heard was a similar sound, but instead of the fierce struggle, there was more cautiousness in fear of being discovered.

... unforgivable.

How dare, how could anyone dare to do such a thing in the temple of Rhodes? !

Fright and killing intent ruled Eleuil's will in an instant. Like a vigorous feline, she climbed over the fence without a sound, and with one hand on the saber at her waist, she walked towards the bushes where the sound came from.

She didn't hide her footsteps, so the faint movement disappeared immediately, and in the deathly silence, the rustling of dressing sounded again.

A disheveled strange woman came out from behind the bushes. She was wearing the clothes of a low-level priest and tried her best to maintain her composure, but her face turned pale when she saw the princess.

Eleuil's sword was already out of its sheath, Sen Leng said: "Where is the other person, tell him to get out."

The woman shook her voice: "There is no one else, only me, only me here."

"Could it be that I look like I have ear problems?" Eleuil sneered, "Now—come out."

Anger was burning reason, casting a dark shadow in her eyes.

The killing intent honed on the battlefield for a year was undisguised. The woman almost fell to her knees, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

The bushes were pushed away suddenly, and another person rushed out, opening his arms to block the lower priest behind him.

"It's me! I forced her to be with me!"

The familiar face made Aileu pause for a moment, she knew this person's face, it was a young female clerk who had taught her, and her attitude was quite friendly.

two women?

Aleuil's eyes turned between the two, his expression went blank for a moment, he felt his throat tighten for no reason, he had a premonition that something was about to be pierced and he was about to face something, and he was strangely at a loss.

The female scribe was still saying: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's all my fault, I forced her to come..."

The lower priests scrambled and said, "No, I tricked her by taking advantage of her young age and ignorance. Please punish me."

Aleuil was silent for a moment, then retracted the sword into its sheath.

"Prostitution in the temple should be expelled according to the law, and you will never be allowed to step into the temple again." Her speech speed unconsciously accelerated a little, "You go to Priest Muya to receive punishment yourself."

The two who were hit by someone froze in place.

"I thought you were going to kill—"

The lower priest quickly covered the female scribe's mouth, and quickly said: "We will go now, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

Aleuil nodded, turned around and walked away, his steps were graceful and correct, without any abnormalities.

It was evening now, but the princess did not return to her yard. She wandered around a few times and finally went to the shrine room.

In the past few days, Eleuil especially liked to talk to himself here, like an ordinary girl sharing her feelings with her family, chatting one-sidedly with the cold stone statue.

But this time, she looked up at the statue and couldn't say a word.

The princess even thought of a rhetoric: Someone is desecrating your place of worship, and I arrested you. Are you happy?

She can say with a smile, coquettishly, no matter what, it is professional to talk about being cute and passing the princess, but these words seem to have a substance, and it is neither swallowed nor swallowed.

She couldn't say anything, so she lowered her eyes without saying a word, and sat under the altar with her back to the statue, in a daze alone.

This year, Eleuil will be 15 years old.

It was the young Muai's age, at the age of 15, girls in Solancia could almost think about marriage, but Eleuil never thought about it.

Under the slightly dim candlelight in the sacrificial room, the light of blue chalcedony pierced the eyes of the princess.

Did he not think about it—or did he not want to think about it?

Aleuil raised his hand suddenly, turned the amulet over, and the side inlaid with blue chalcedony beads was clasped tightly to his chest, and disappeared from the field of vision.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, but there was still a gentle and light frost blue swaying in front of her eyes.

With her back against the altar, the princess was sleepless all night.

Early the next morning, she bid farewell to the priestess and Ruiya, and rushed back to the barracks alone.

The sun was setting when they arrived, and Mortis stepped forward carelessly, wanting to compete with her. Lena saw that it was not good, so she quickly stopped the guy, and said to Eleuil: "The journey is tiring, Your Highness is not very good, Why don't you go back to the tent and rest?"

Eleuil did not refuse Lena's kindness, she was indeed very tired, she went back to the tent and lay down, but she didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

Lying on her own side, she couldn't help thinking that Rhodes had slept on the other side before.

The princess tossed and turned, and finally rolled to the opposite side with the quilt in her arms, closed her eyes with some secret satisfaction and guilt, and soon fell asleep.

------

In the secret valley covered with greenery, the warm sunshine in early summer is indescribably quiet and beautiful.

"Ai Lu."

A familiar voice behind him called her with a smile.

Eleuil turned around, and the goddess of the river was standing there, her silver hair shone like rays of light on the surface of the Bai Yilu River, and it was like ice and snow on the river covered in winter, her blue eyes contained a genuine smile.

She stood there like another light source between heaven and earth.

The goddess opened her hands and called her name again: "Ai Liu."

Aleuil took half a step back, with a struggling and longing look on his face.

Rhodes didn't move, maintaining a posture of wanting to hug, as quiet as a pond trapped in the lowlands.

Eleuil looked at her, and she looked at Eleuil.

After a long time, the princess raised her lips suddenly, and the thin mist filled the golden eyes. She whispered:

"You are always tormenting me, Rhodes."

With long and slender fingers running through the cloudy silver hair, she said, "Please close your eyes."

Then he raised his other hand without hesitation, covering the eyes of the gods, and the rose-colored lips were printed with light-colored lips.

She kissed the god after all.

Before the dawn dispelled the night, Eleuil sat up from the bed, with tears still in the corners of his eyes.

It was not dawn, and everyone in the camp did not wake up. In the silence, she heard her heartbeat like the end.

In a trance, the pictures that had been sealed in the depths of memory for many years came to mind.

Acht City, a luxurious royal palace, the queen mother hugged her who was still young, and sang a ballad of Solancia in a low voice.

Love, the arrow in Aditya's hand.

You bring torment and yet are sought after.
