Chapter 295 Temple of Water
Among the gods, if any believer wants to kick Xiu Er when he comes up, there is only one possibility. Xiu Er can guess who is so obsessed with his ass without even using his brain.

"Lisa, remember, if you encounter people wearing such holy robes in the future, try to stay away. They are very violent and like to kick other people's butts for no reason."

"Yeah, I remember." The girl nodded vigorously, hehe, no need to ask, her brother must have done something bad again. After thinking about it, the girl still nodded in agreement with a serious face, but looking at this girl's Clothing should belong to a mortal traveler of a certain god. If you say this, are you really not afraid of being blamed by the god?Divine punishment is terrible, even if it is only an exemplary punishment.

"Don't be afraid." Shuer waved his hand carelessly, "It is not easy to impose divine punishment. It is impossible to master this ability so quickly. Don't worry, the goddess she serves... I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me. I, I will turn around and kick you right now.”

It seems that things that mortals find complicated are not that troublesome to gods. Even newly born gods can do it easily.

A few simple words brought the two parties closer. At least the swarthy girl seemed to relax a lot. The little guy seemed to be very afraid of strangers at first and kept hiding behind the old archbishop with only big curious eyes. She was bright and energetic, but now that she knew Xiu Er's identity, she was no longer afraid of strangers. She kept following Xiu Er around like a tail, which made Lisa look unhappy.

Of course, Safu was also unhappy, mainly because she was dissatisfied with being robbed of her position. However, the female swordsman was an adult after all, and she couldn't have the same experience as the underage girl she met for the first time.

While joking, a group of people had already stepped off the high platform and walked slowly along the streets of Lion City. Walking in this thousand-year-old capital is another feeling from the city of roses.

Although the Rose City is equally prosperous, it is after all just the capital of a duchy. Compared to the Lion City, it loses a lot in terms of momentum.Lion City is the capital of the Emerald Empire and represents the face of the Emerald Empire. Therefore, whether they are commercial or civilian, all the buildings are very grand, and you can feel the imposing momentum at a glance.

The residents of Lion City also have the typical self-confidence of the residents of the imperial capital. Even if they are just civilians, you can see a vague sense of pride in them. They are proud of the city they live in and proud of the capital.

Even when facing the nobles, the attitude of the common people has become much tougher, and most of them can maintain a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. It can be seen that this is the capital after all. Under the gaze of the emperor, officials do not dare to go too far. If it is in In some small territorial cities in the countryside, the nobles have the power of life and death over the civilians, and the attitudes of the civilians will be obviously different.

The road paved with bluestone seems to have been repaired frequently. The road is smooth and clean, with no trace of wear and tear. It is completely different from some poor temple.The building is also built with blue stone, which is a product of the nearby Feather Wing Mountain. Well, yes, it is a mountain named in memory of those Winged People who value wheat.

Different from the road surface, the green buildings are simple and thick, and the walls are covered with mottled marks of time. Every scratch and every crack may represent a touching story. Touching the wall, it seems that you can feel the countless numbers. Thousands of years of history come from between.

The farther you go, the less people flow, the sparser the buildings, but the larger the scale of the buildings, especially when you leave the inner city, you often can’t see a single person when you walk a long way, only the various noisy voices from the craftsmen , coming from the surrounding buildings that serve as factories.

The temple of Wendy, the Lord of Lakes and Rivers, is located at an unwilling place after leaving the inner city, less than two kilometers away from the inner city wall.Linda and McCree, who joined halfway, were breathing heavily, and the two children Eddie and Sophie of the Dark Moon Temple also left panting, but Lisa, who was also underage, and the first lord of the Desert and Oasis The agents all looked relaxed. It seemed that the strength of this dark little girl was not that simple.

As soon as they approached the Temple of Water, Shure and Lisa sighed at the same time.

This is considered a normal temple.

Occupying an area of ​​at least one square kilometer, the towering temple building is majestic. Long hymns are heard from the temple, as if the divine voice is transmitted from the Kingdom of God to the mortal world. In the square, there is an endless stream of believers coming to the main temple to worship. , many believers have to kneel down and worship every step they take to show their piety to the gods.

In front of the temple, the statue of the goddess, which appears as a middle-aged woman, exudes a sacred aura. Although it is not a holy statue, it carries more power of faith and will be dyed with the glory of the goddess.

"Welcome everyone from the Dark Moon Temple to the territory of our lord, Lady Wendy." As soon as he climbed the stone steps, the archbishop who had been walking side by side with Shuurlisa suddenly took a few steps forward with other water priests. Be the first to enter the temple.After entering the door, of course they would not walk away on their own. Instead, they turned around, led by the archbishop, and six priests lined up behind them, and came out again. They did not stop until they passed the door of the temple, "I, Oran Na, a servant of the Lord of Lakes and Rivers, and on behalf of all the followers of Lord Wendy, thank you for traveling thousands of kilometers to attend the Water Curtain Festival celebration, and may the friendship between the river and the moonlight never fade."

This is the most formal welcoming ceremony.The previous greeting at the airship port was just a way to show closeness and respect, and was not considered a formal ceremony.But things are different now. Before entering the temple, the archbishop of the gods personally greets him, which represents the highest level of courtesy. It is not only for the people of the Dark Moon Temple, but also for everyone to see, in order to declare the close relationship between the two parties. relation.

The situation is different at this time. If Shuuer steps in to deal with it, it will appear to be overstepping. It is only understandable that the person with the highest status in the team responds. However, Lisa, who is underage, is participating for the first time. Can this kind of activity really do all this well?

As it turns out, you can.

"The river flows endlessly, and the dark moon hangs forever in the sky. The friendship between the river and the moonlight should never change, just like the masters we each serve." Lisa took a deep breath, shook Shuer's hand firmly, and said resolutely. Let go, take two steps forward and walk in front of everyone, and respond calmly, "In the name of our Lord, I, Lisa, the attendant of the Lightless Moon, represent the entire Dark Moon Temple, to the Water I would like to offer my congratulations on the curtain celebration. May the rushing water never stop, and may the tranquil water remain clear forever."

A perfect response. In front of the worshipers who were shocked by the sudden serious scene inside and outside the temple, he publicly presented carefully selected congratulatory gifts. It not only responded to the other party's announcement, but also showed enough respect for Lady Wendy. In this way, both parties Satisfactory results were obtained.

Very good. Although her voice was slightly stiff due to excessive tension, her words and movements were all appropriate, and her response did not make Dark Moon dusty. It seemed that Lisa had really grown up and could face it independently.

Looking at the girl's back, Xiuer sighed secretly. His slightly melancholy eyes were quite complex. His sight seemed to span endless time and space. He saw decades ago, his hometown, and that familiar person. The childish figure was forced to face the outside world for the first time.This time, I will never let tragedy happen again, I promise.

Only then did a slight commotion spread from the surrounding believers who didn't know what was happening, and quickly spread to the surrounding crowd.

It’s so surprising, look at Archbishop Olanna’s feet, they have already stepped out of the temple gate.How long has it been since Lord Olanna went out to greet visitors in person?Not to mention the members of the imperial family and even the emperor himself, the God of War and the Archbishop of the Lord of the Mountains came to visit them a few days ago. Lord Olanna only greeted them at the door without taking a step out of the door.

Those are the servants of two powerful gods, especially the God of War. There are already more than ten million followers, and their strength is unimaginable. The servants of these two people are not qualified for Lord Olanna to come out to greet them. Who is coming now? , could he be a servant of the Lord of Ocean and Storm or the Lord of Ice and Snow, who are also the main gods of the water system?
What?Dark Moon Goddess?Who is that?It seems that I have vaguely heard of this name, so there really is such a god, but what is the dark moon?Are there any other moons in the sky besides Lady Silvermoon?Why can't you see it? It has no sense of existence.

For a time, all kinds of low-pitched inquiries continued to echo inside and outside the temple gate. It seems that Lord Olanna’s greeting will be spread for a long time. Even if it is just a topic of conversation after dinner, there will be many, many people. Remember the secret. The name Luna, the moon goddess.

Ahem, I'm really sorry for not having a sense of presence. Xiuer rolled his eyes crazily in his mind, but he knew that this time the favor was too big.

In fact, the affairs of the temple are essentially no different from secular political affairs, especially the communication between the two temples. Many things do not need to be said explicitly, and cannot be said explicitly. They are all reflected through small details in words and deeds.

Olanna is not a fanatical believer like Kelly. She has been the archbishop for decades and has been keeping the large-scale Water Temple in a stable development. She is naturally very good. She is sure of what her words and deeds represent. Know better than anyone else.

Just because she knows it, the attitude she shows is worth pondering.

Yes, Shuer did help the Water Temple a lot, adding a god to the water god system, which greatly contributed to the improvement of the god system's strength.But this is just a relationship between entrustment and being entrusted, and a mutually friendly temple relationship between the two parties has been established, which is enough to repay his contribution. Who would have known that the other party would give such a big surprise as soon as they officially met.

There is no love for no reason in the world, even between temples. It is impossible to give a big gift for no reason. Olanna must have deep considerations in doing this.

"Haha, it seems that this Water Curtain Festival is not as simple as imagined." Shuer tapped his thigh and smiled thoughtfully.
