How to wear a goddess statue

Chapter 098 Priest Selection

After some discussions, Eleuil and Ruiya initially reached a consensus.

The princess will send someone to compile the hymn created by the little priest into a book and spread it out. If luck is good enough, it will spread to every corner of the Solan pantheon, which will invisibly increase the influence of Ruiya herself.

This is the most ideal situation.

When the discussion was over, Rhodes was no longer in the hall.

The god himself failed to survive the third psalm, so he found an excuse and went back to the room.

Aleuil chuckled, imagining the mental activities of Rhodes, and lowered his eyes to sort out the thick stack of poems.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous piece of paper came into view. It was also printed with Ruiya's delicate handwriting, but it was not a compliment.

The queen's movements stopped.

This is a long narrative poem, which tells how the goddess Rhodes appeared in the dream of a timid young priest, and personally gave her trust, allowing her to regain her confidence and grow into a qualified priest with devout belief in the gods.

Eleuil: "..."

She has grown up, and she is no longer the little girl who was overwhelmed and overwhelmed by such a small matter. She doesn't care about what Rhodes thinks of Rhiya differently.

——Princess calmly pressed the page to the bottom.

Since it is a collection of hymns, there is no need for narrative poems to be included in it, and it is normal that they will not be published.

Having said that, Ruiya seems to be good at writing long narrative poems.

"Have you heard what I swear to Goddess Rhodes?"

Ruiya said in confusion, "What?"

The oath of the princess has been spread in the city of Acht, but Kadella is too remote, and Ruiya hasn't heard any rumors yet.

"I'll tell you, besides that, I'd like to ask you to write a long poem about it."

"A poem that can be remembered."

Ruiya subconsciously checked her fingers, a little hesitant.

"If possible, I would like to know what it is first."

Aleuil spoke briefly, his tone was flat, but he could hear a bit of showing off after listening carefully.

"Laudas allowed me to be her follower, and also agreed to make the oath public to the world. That's why I'm asking you."

The little priest was stunned when he heard it, and after a while he was fascinated and said: "So that's the case, it's possible to do this, and I'm willing to swear to the goddess—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the princess.

Aleuil's eyes were calm and cold, and he solemnly stated: "No, I am the only one who can do this."

The ambition that had just been raised was shattered, and the young priest hung his head in despair.

Nevertheless, she assured: "I will do my best, Your Highness."

Unbeknownst to Rhodes, Ruiya, a rising star in the literary world who is actually better at being a bard than a priest, is already brewing her second fairytale work.

The creator would never have thought that this long poem would be included in the official mythology collection in the future, and like more subsequent works, it would become a part of the orthodox mythology system.

Only Eleuil.

The princess, who was not yet 20 years old, tapped the paper twice with a quill pen, and an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which disappeared in a flash.

As if to have seen that series of lines.

The selection of the High Priest of the River Temple can be said to be the most formal and eye-catching large-scale assessment in the past few years. The candidates not only come from the priest system, but also some dignitaries took the opportunity to send their own sons and daughters to the assessment list.

If he is really chosen, he will be transformed from an ordinary family member into one of the few people who stand at the top of the theocracy system. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

The first assessment is a written test, which tests memorization and writing.There is no doubt that this is Ruiya's specialty, and she will enter the next round without any suspense.

The second assessment was talent, which was also not difficult.Those who can serve as priests are more or less talented. The harp and dancing skills are bonus points, and singing is even more basic. Otherwise, they can barely sing praises, so how can they preside over the ceremony as the high priest.

Compared with competitors, Ruiya, who has been the chief priest of the Kadella Temple for several years, is obviously more comfortable.

What's more, she presided over a ceremony independently, and she was much better than everyone present in terms of experience.

After the two assessments, Ruiya passed both.

So far, there are only ten candidates left after hundreds of candidates.

Among the many candidates, Ruiya seemed inconspicuous. Now that there were fewer people, more people noticed her.

Where is she from?The border city of Kadela.

Although it is a remote town, it still has the name of "the original temple". The most important thing is that the princess was exiled there.

Oh... sounds a little subtle.

Many people chatted secretly, thinking that there was a good show to watch.

Different from the first two selections that tested one's own ability, the third selection was called "God's Will". There were only two examiners, one of whom was the current high priest.

Saige, the high priest of the river, supported his sick body and was assisted to the assessment site. He needed to choose half of the ten people, and his future successor was among these five people.

In the open space in front of the river temple, young people lined up, anxiously waiting for the verdict.

It was considered a rather important occasion right now, and Horst, as King Sauran, naturally had to come to the scene when he had nothing more important to deal with.

He looked at the energetic candidate with an expectant expression, as if he was very pleased.

Only for a certain moment, gloomy eyes cast on Priest Saige's back, wishing to pierce him with his sight.

Just last night, Horst learned that Rhiya from Kadela was among the candidates, so he went to the River Temple to visit Saige without saying a word.

On the surface, it was the king who was condolences to the seriously ill courtiers, but in fact he told Saige openly and secretly-don't leave Ruiya behind.

Saige is not in good health, and his temper is not too lenient. He immediately mocked: "Your Majesty, cough, are you teaching me to practice favoritism? Cough cough."

Horst, who has always been an upright person, couldn't stand it, so he prevaricated at will, and slipped back to the palace in desperation.

Facts have proved that Seger didn't take Horst's suggestion seriously at all. If it was the past, he might still be a little scrupulous, but now he is dying of illness, why do he care so much?

So as soon as this upright high priest came on stage, Ruiya was selected among the five candidates. In order to add trouble to Horst, he nodded and smiled at Ruiya: "I wish you success, son."

Horst: "..."

He had reason to suspect that Sager was deliberately playing a naysayer.

No matter what he thinks, the assessment has finally reached the final step.

The other examiner in the third assessment was not a human being, but a blue heron.

In the warm spring and summer seasons, there are always a group of blue herons perched on the lake inside the river temple. Whenever they hear the singing of the goddess, they dance accordingly, as if they are really worshiping the gods.

Due to this characteristic, the final selection has always been fixed.

The candidates have to sing hymns one by one by the lake, and whoever can attract more blue herons to dance or approach will be the final high priest candidate.

The spectators followed the candidates and came to the quiet and beautiful lake.

It can be seen from a distance that a group of birds with slender necks and beautiful figures are resting here, some are floating on the water, some are close to the shore, and their long legs are taking graceful steps.

Aleuil whispered: "Do you still remember the giant fish in the lake in the city of Eluleila?"

……of course I remember.

Sensing her breath, they scrambled to jump on the water, abruptly bringing a unique welcome performance, which almost caused a sensation.

Rotas silently moved behind Aleuil, using her to cover his figure, lest the group of blue herons flap their wings and come over when they saw her, affecting others' exams for no reason.

A smile flashed across the eyes of the princess, she raised her hand and tapped on Luotus's wrist, and then looked towards the lake with widened eyebrows.

When I looked at it, I caught a glimpse of the eyes of a certain dignitary, who seemed to be looking forward to something, showing a secret joy that couldn't be hidden. Horst also looked in the same direction as this person, but his expression management was much better than him Many, only showing a trace of strange expression.

Eleuil frowned slightly.

"Rhodos."

"Ok?"

"Do you think there is something wrong?"

Rotas was still standing behind the princess without moving, but his eyes were slowly closed, sensing the surrounding things.

In an instant, her eyelashes moved slightly.

"That thin and tall man looks a bit unnatural." Luo Das paused for a moment, opened his eyes, his eyes turned cold, "It's a special kind of fragrance, can you smell it?"

Eleuil shook his head.

Perhaps it is because the divine sense is originally more sensitive than the human sense of smell, or perhaps, this kind of smell is difficult for humans to smell.

This candidate was ranked third, and he was deliberately staying away from the lake at the moment. The blue heron who was closer to him looked around, looking confused.

"Probably something to attract animals."

Being far away, I don't want to take advantage of the opponent who is singing hymns at this time.

Aleuil quickly matched people with each other.

That dignitary with an earnest face is the father of this thin and tall man.

Rhodes actually didn't feel angry, it was just a little ridiculous.

This kind of feeling of cheating with all means, only to be caught by the inspection inspector... Maybe return the stolen goods and get it.

The coldness in Aleuil's eyes was much more than hers.

Using such a small method in the selection of the high priest of Lotus is simply writing disrespect to the gods on the forehead, which is unacceptable to believers who devoutly believe in the river goddess.

"Please rest assured, I will not let them succeed."

The princess whispered, ready to expose the tall and thin man when he stepped forward.

Rhodes: "Wait a minute."

Frost blue eyes looked at the lake, showing no emotion, and after a while he said thoughtfully: "In this link, after all, the competition is not who can attract the blue heron, but who is more in line with the spirit of the gods. Yes or no?"

Aleuil thought of something, nodded hesitantly and unwillingly.

"Then it doesn't matter." Rhodes said lightly.

Eleuil: "..."

She will not worry about gains and losses, and will not feel crisis about it, but——

The princess looked quietly at Ruiya's back.

The little priest in the waiting area: "Ah Choo!"

Rhea looked around blankly.

What is going on with this long-lost chill in the summer?

The author has something to say:

How can believers be called jealous?

Competing for favor at best.
