How to wear a goddess statue

Like other main gods, the ceremony of the sun god is presided over by the high priest, that is, the concubine.

This is a grand ceremony held every eight years. In the midsummer, this day is usually clear and cloudless, and the sun is bright and warm, with considerable brightness and heat.

What the concubine has to do is to cross the entire city in an uncovered float, and finally return to the Sun Temple to complete the ceremony under the sun beam.

For others, it may just be a little bit of sun and heat, but for Naymar, it is an unbearable torture. She hates and fears the sun, which may be a shadow that she cannot get rid of in her life.

Horst has always known this.

Can you not understand?When Naymar was sent out of the royal city, he was still the most trusted partner who followed the former king, and he had witnessed her screaming in the sun with her hands up to cover her face.

Horst believes that this fear will not disappear with the passage of time, but the facts have indeed proved that the concubine Shen is extremely resistant to the light of open flames, and has reached the point where she is reluctant to use candle lamps in her daily life.

Under such circumstances, suddenly appeared Aleuil who might succeed her, how could Neymar object?

I'm sure I wish he could send Eluil to Surinia as soon as possible!

Horst was very sure, but after waiting and waiting, he didn't get the letter from the concubine agreeing to cooperate. Instead, the spy came back alone, with a tangled expression on his face, and explained the "theory on the concubine Eleuil" in a serious manner.

Horst: "..."

What absurdity is this?

The staff around him hesitated, and they all persuaded him to give up this plan. After all, once something has something to do with the gods, it will be troublesome for everyone.

The problem is, Horst doesn't believe in God very much.

The gods are high above, how can they care about the affairs of the world, otherwise, according to the argument that murdering the royal family will be rejected by the gods, he should have paid the price for his original actions, how could he sit on the throne safely for so many years ?

Having said that, Eluil's so-called oath and inexplicable power are indeed a bit strange...

Horst stared into the distance with heavy eyes, without saying a word.

For a long time, he laughed thoughtfully.

So what if Eleuil is treated differently by the gods?

After breaking her oath, are you still afraid that Goddess Rhodes will continue to favor her?

Horst felt the long-lost excitement, just like waiting for the opportunity to do it nine years ago, and now he can't wait to see how Eleuil is rejected by the gods she believes in.

------

On the other side, Rhodes' carriage stopped near the city gate.

It was early morning at this moment, and the air was still moist with morning dew and morning fog. She sat by the window, closed her eyes and meditated.

Eleuil is not here.

Ever since she was named a general, she has become visibly busy. Not only does she have to attend court meetings on a regular basis like other courtiers, but she also has to meet with many more people every day.

Unlike ordinary generals, the princess cannot go to the barracks outside the city, which is where the city gate guards are stationed.

Horst was just trying to prevent her, he wanted to be a high-ranking general, that's fine, I can give you any title, but you can't get military power.

A commander in name only cannot make any waves.

Aleuil was exceptionally calm, but secretly established contact with the deputy commander of the city gate guards, and kept it from the commander, without revealing the slightest bit of information - the position of the commander of the defenders used to belong to Mortis, but later changed Cheng Horst's confidant is in charge. If this person finds out, the follow-up will be a little troublesome.

At this time, Eleuil was out on business, so he didn't sit here with Rhodes and wait for others.

That's right, wait for someone.

A few days ago, news spread from the temple that the high priest of the river goddess, Saige, was seriously ill. It is said that there is not much time left.

The priest's health had always been poor, and this time the situation was extremely dangerous. Neither the temple pharmacist nor the court physician could do anything about it.

Once Saige dies of illness, the position of high priest in Yilu River will be vacant. Unlike the hereditary priesthood in various places, the high priest is usually selected from among many outstanding candidates, and it will inevitably be a lot of trouble.

So, after passing the preliminary examination, the young priests and heirs of the river temples in various parts of Solancia were summoned to Acht.

——If they can stand out from the many candidates, they will become the new high priests.

A train team drove into the royal city, and behind the carriage windows covered with linen curtains, young girls looked out of the windows curiously.

"This is the royal city!" The girl couldn't bear to look away. "It's much more prosperous than our city. If you can pass the selection, can you stay here forever?"

"I don't know if the assessment will be difficult..." Another young girl wringed her fingers, fidgeting.

There were five girls sitting in a carriage, and four of them were chatting. There was only one girl who was very petite. She lowered her head to write and draw on paper, and did not participate in the discussion.

Until the girl next to her asked her: "Riya, where are you going to live, will you live with us?"

It stands to reason that candidates from all over Solan should be arranged to live in the temple, but there are too many people and the temple space is limited, so candidates are encouraged to solve the accommodation problem by themselves.

The consolation is that... the expenses are reimbursed.

Ruiya thought for a while, and just about to nod, she inadvertently glanced out the window, but suddenly saw Rhodes.

The other party was also sitting in a carriage with a calm and leisurely expression. Noticing Rui Ya's gaze, she tapped on the window edge lightly as a signal.

Ruiya's round eyes suddenly widened even more, and she almost blurted out—Master God Envoy!

But she quickly adjusted her mood and apologized: "No need, I see someone I know, let's go first."

The young priest happily jumped out of the carriage and went straight to Rhodes, leaving several girls in the carriage looking at each other.

Not seen for more than a year, Ruiya is still the same.

Baby face with round eyes, petite and petite, obviously a few years older than Aleuil, but still looks like a little girl who is underage.

Ruiya ran close, and then whispered joyfully, "My lord, God Envoy!"

Luoda, who passively put on the angel's vest in front of Priest Kadella, paused, nodded and said, "Long time no see, Ruiya."

Receiving such a response, Ruiya's cheeks flushed with excitement.

As expected of Goddess Rhodes's envoy, she is still as approachable as before, yet detached from the mundane world.

Recalling her mother's entrustment before leaving, Ruiya clenched her fists, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

In order to better serve the gods, this selection is only allowed to succeed, not to fail!

After the initial joy passed, Ruiya suddenly remembered:

"Is Your Royal Highness here?"

"Well, Ai Liu has something to do, I'll pick you up."

"Come back with you—I mean, can I live with you?"

"Of course, if you have other arrangements..."

Rhodes glanced at the carriage parked not far away.

"No." Ruiya waved her hand slightly, smiling shyly and sincerely, "I'm wondering where I should live, it's great that you are willing to pick me up."

Goddess Rhodes Bless!

Ruiya murmured silently in her heart.

So, when Aleuil returned to his mansion after finishing his work, he saw two people sitting opposite each other in the foyer.

Luo Dasi was quietly holding the tea, with a calm expression on his face. Only the princess who knew her well could detect a trace of well-hidden embarrassment.

Ruiya held a stack of thick papers in her hand, and was reading aloud with cadence and emotion. You can hear it without listening carefully. This is a compliment to the goddess of the Illu River.

Eleuil decided to turn to Rhea first: "...what are you doing?"

Ruiya insisted on reciting a hymn before saluting: "I have seen Your Royal Highness, and I am asking Your Excellency Lorca to read the hymn I wrote to the goddess."

Your Excellency Lorca——in front of Eleuil, this is what Ruiya and her mother always called Rhodes.

Regarding the "fact" that the young female scribe was actually an envoy of the gods, the two sides tacitly understood it. The priest mother and daughter made a logical guess, while Eleuil knew that the other party had misunderstood and did not intend to point it out.

Just kidding, I don't know how fanatical it will be if I find out that the incarnation of Rhodes is in front of me if I am so devout in the face of the guessing envoys.

Maybe he will chasing Rhodes and chant hymns.

Eleuil thought half-jokingly before.

Now, however, this scene is actually happening.

Rhea didn't even know the real body of Lotus, and she was already inviting her to taste hymns, talking about the pious and pure faith, and the mother and daughter were among the best even among the priests.

but--

"You wrote it yourself?"

Ruiya nodded. The little priest, who was no longer afraid to communicate with others, was obviously more confident than before. She carefully held a stack of hymns in her hand, and said with pride: "This is my belief in the goddess. As a Priests, you should write more poems praising the goddess for the believers to sing."

Aleuil walked over, naturally sat down next to Rhodes, put his chin on her shoulder, and said casually: "Let me see."

She took the page full of psalms and carefully flipped through it.

Luo Dasi is used to the closeness of the prince and daughter, anyway, he is not in front of outsiders, Ai Liu can rely on it if he wants.

Ruiya's pupils trembled.

Having been the high priest for a few years, she has seen many more people than before, and her horizons are wider. Seeing this scene, she feels that something is not right.

My Lord God Envoy and Your Highness don't seem to get along so close before... Maybe.

While being confused, Aleuil put down the paper and praised: "It's well written."

Ruiya immediately put aside the doubts just now: "Really? Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."

Aleuil is not particularly talented in literature and art, but in this era, appreciating poetry is a necessary skill, and she is no exception.

In the eyes of the princess, Ruiya's poems are somewhat similar to the bard's style, which is suitable for the public to understand and sing, and can also match the aesthetics of the self-proclaimed noble, powerful and wealthy businessman.

Very useful.

The princess made a judgment immediately.

The two discussed this and commented on the deletion and modification of words and sentences on the spot.

Rhodes listened to the "Aura of the Goddess" on the left and the "Clear and Holy Water of the World" on the right, his eyes gradually became dull and expressionless.

The author has something to say:

Rhodes: "..."

The sense of shame is gradually numb.JPG

I am back!

It feels so good to end the exam. I even dreamed that I could code words during the exam week. Who gave me the courage and confidence qvq

There are no code words for a few days, and it feels a bit dull. Fortunately, the time after the exam is relatively free, and the daily update will be resumed next, and it will be adjusted slowly.
