dark moon

Chapter 357 As always
"Praise the clear water, praise the purified water, praise the Holy Spirit, it is holy." Standing on the high platform, standing next to Archbishop Olanna, the underage Archbishop Lisa of the Dark Moon Temple raised her hand, and the faint light fell , tiny sparkling dust fell from the sky and landed on everyone's heads and shoulders, making all the audience feel as comfortable as if they had just soaked in hot water.

More and more people gathered in the square, and new spectators kept asking people around them about the abnormal situation in front of them. It was really unexpected. During the opening speech of the Water Curtain Festival, clergymen from other churches were brought to the stage. But what’s rare is that the last time was... when was the last time? Anyway, it was a long time ago.

The audience below were whispering to each other, but the two priests on the high platform were calm and composed, always facing the water believers below with the smiles unique to the priests.

You're so calm, I'm almost crying, okay?
Being stared at by tens of thousands of people, Lisa's legs were trembling. If she hadn't put on light makeup, there would be no color left on her face. Goddess sister bless you, it turns out that being stared at by so many people is such a terrible thing. , I really don’t know how my brother can get used to such a scene. Can I go down and hide for a while?

Fortunately, Xiuer's usual training had the desired effect. Even if the girl was crying crazily in her heart, she remained calm on the surface, and a wide range of magical arts were released easily and accurately.

According to the practice of previous years, after Archbishop Olanna and His Majesty the Emperor delivered speeches, the parade around the city officially ended, followed by a city-wide carnival. Citizens spontaneously formed teams, put on various fancy costumes, and acted as warcraft and warriors. , a play was staged in the streets and alleys in which intelligent creatures defeated the monsters and won the right to survive.The royal family provided plenty of free food and drinks for everyone to enjoy, sweating and laughing until the sun came up in the morning.

But this year, it seems that this event will be postponed for a few ten minutes. The believers all know that Lord Olanna brought others on stage at this time, and his intention is self-evident.

The more core believers have long known that people from the Darkmoon Temple will give a speech at the ceremony, but they are surprised that the current situation is obviously not that simple. Lord Olanna actually asked the other party to show God before him. Well, I'm afraid the Water Temple will have another ally.

Not only the believers were surprised, but even the emperor, who was sitting in the rest area on the high platform, spoke and smiled as usual, but his eyes were filled with astonishment. The confidentiality measures on both sides were very good, and even the emperor was not informed in advance. Seeing everyone's curiosity My heart was aroused, haha, it seems that Xiure's idea of ​​keeping it secret in advance was very effective.

"Children of the Lord, the person next to me is the Archbishop of the Dark Moon Temple, a mortal walker of the Aphotic Moon, and Archbishop Lisa, the apostle of the goddess Luna. Seeing this scene, everyone should have guessed in their hearts. It's here, yes, today, here, on behalf of the Water Temple, I invite everyone to witness the alliance ceremony between the Water Temple and the Dark Moon Temple." Olanna's voice was spread by countless sound transmission circles. , spread throughout the city, "Praise the guardian moon, praise the lightless moon, praise the Holy Spirit, it is holy."

After the brief introduction, Olanna nodded to Lisa with a kind smile and gave up her seat in the middle.

The girl stood still for a moment, then took a step forward to stand in Olanna's original position, looking down at the dark crowd below.Phew, Sister Goddess, Grandpa Summer, you are all watching. My brother has already achieved this step. From now on, my brother and I will protect the glory of the gods.Brother, don't worry, I know your intentions. This is my stage and my battlefield. I will work with you to continue to win on this special battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, Lisa put aside all distracting thoughts and started her first battle under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.

"Are you really okay with this?" In a corner under the high platform, a group of people were secretly hiding out of the sight of the spectators. They gathered in a group and looked towards the high platform. A quick look would have made them suspicious. If they weren't dignified, Archbishop Minnie was accompanying him, and I am afraid that the city guards who maintained order had already come to inquire.Angela, who was supposed to be sitting in the rest area to watch the ceremony, was actually present. She looked at Lisa on the high platform a little uneasily and scolded in a low voice, "Since the alliance was confirmed, that fool has always thought that you were the one to take the stage to speak. You are the one to speak this afternoon." I just told her that she would appear on the stage, but she was not prepared at all. If she doesn't perform well, although Lady Luna won't blame her, she will probably blame herself for a long, long time."

"Oh, you really care about her."

"Who cares about her, you idiot." Angela couldn't even find an excuse to explain, so she could only blush and try to hide it.

"She has been mentally prepared for a long time. This is her responsibility, a task assigned to her by Archbishop Summer. Oh, in fact, as early as five years ago, before I showed up, she was already ready to take over this responsibility. I was mentally prepared, but she was still too young at the time. I took over this responsibility for her for a few years, and now it’s time to return it to her. You see, even if she wasn’t prepared in advance, she performed perfectly, didn’t she? Even if you go up there, it’s nothing more than that.”

"Hmph, I'm much better than her." Angela wrinkled her nose, but Lisa's performance did make her worry gradually fade away. Well, she was already thinking about provoking, "You can't tell, you guy You actually speak seriously occasionally, is it because Lady Luna's kind heart has finally washed away the filth in your heart?"

"You are really an idiot. Just believe what I say. Thanks to you, you are considered a priest. Don't use your brain to think about it. How could she think that I will appear on the stage? You have seen such a scene where a battle priest appeared. Is that for others to see the joke, so we have been rehearsing for several days in advance.” Facing Angela who gritted his teeth angrily, Xiuer sneered disdainfully, “Tch, a mere silver idiot, dare to You are provoking me. When I was talking seriously, you were not born yet. When facing the elderly, don’t you understand what respect is?"

Poking, poking, Xiure felt someone poking him: "Huh? You never understand what respect means when facing older people."

When she turned around, she saw Moria, who had been holding back for half the night, pointing to her nose happily. Well, she was really an older person, and she had no room to refute.

"Obey, I'll give you hay, go and nibble on it."

"Hehe." Sapphire secretly smiled shyly against the warm deerskin. It was great like this. Two familiar people, noisy and noisy, and they could finally go on like this forever without having to worry about that person anymore...

Safu looked up at the VIP lounge on the high platform, um, very good, my eyesight is bad, and I can't see anything clearly, that person must be on it, I really want to know what method Xiuer used to reverse his attitude So thorough.

I remember the evasiveness and panic that that person showed when we passed each other in the afternoon. This is the first time in my life that I have seen you show such an expression, Father.Oh, everything is over. I'm afraid there will be no intersection between us in the future. As a daughter, let me wish you peace for the rest of your life for the last time.But I won't miss you, Father, ever.

Saff was in a daze looking at Count Sullivan's position on the high platform, thinking about her own thoughts, so she didn't notice that at some point, Angela had pulled Seul aside and even released the isolation field.

"What are you going to do? Let me declare in advance. I am not interested in children, idiots, or barbaric guys. Even if you want to seduce me, at least put it on... Stop, put away the scepter. , put away the sacred objects, and speak well if you have anything to say, so as not to cause a murder during the festival."

When it's time to give in, you must give in, otherwise you will be the one who gets beaten. "I really want to beat you to death." Angela glared at Xiure angrily, lowered her voice and asked, "Seeing this female swordsman, I suddenly remembered something, you don't really want to confess her father's crime Dedicate the book to Lady Luna."

"Stop making trouble. To serve the gods, you must conceal things that should be concealed. How could I be considered a high-level cleric? How could I do such an unprofessional thing." Shuer curled his lips and said, "Let my Lord know that she just protected A mortal would turn around and curse her. No matter how much she doesn't care, she won't be happy. I won't do such stupid things to deliberately make her unhappy."

"It turns out that you knew. Knowing that you didn't tell me earlier, my lord sent down an oracle to remind me... Well." Suddenly covering her mouth, the girl looked around as if nothing had happened, pretending that she had not said anything just now.

"Oh, praise the bright moon, and thank Lady Diana for your care, whether it is for my Lord or for me." It was rare for Xiure not to tease Angela.

"Then how are you going to deal with it?" Compared to Lisa and Saff, Angela has been exposed to people with complicated attitudes and knows that some things are not that simple. "If he recovers later, I'm worried that he won't be like him." So honest now."

"Count Sullivan? You don't have to worry about him in the future." Seul glanced at the high platform coldly, "After everything is over, I will give that piece of paper to Duke Silver Fox as a gift. I want to pay tribute to a man who has lost his beloved daughter. For an old man who has endured for more than ten years, there is no better gift than it. Oh, it may not be easy to force him to death, but if you want to make him unable to recover within a few generations... Tsk, what are you hiding from?"

Angela secretly took a step to the side and decided to stay away from this guy in the future.

"Shuer, Xiuer." Xiuer followed the voice and looked over. Archbishop Minnie was waving at him. She didn't go to the VIP seat today, but hid in the corner with a few people, which was considered to be a face for Shuer. .

Seeing that other people didn't follow with interest, Archbishop Minnie nodded in satisfaction: "What are you going to do in the future?"

"You mean Lord Anika's mission?"

"No, that will take a while, and there is still some preparation work to be done." Minnie shook her head, "Literally, I'm just asking you what your plans are."

"As always, nothing will change."

"Even if you already know what will happen in the future?"

"Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, don't we still have to live a normal life today?" Xiu Er shrugged, "But don't worry, I will try my best to live on and will not delay Lord Anika's mission."

"As long as you understand, the future will become more and more dangerous, so try to survive." Minnie was silent for a moment and added, "Not only for my master's mission, but also for Moria."

"I understand, thank you."

"Oh~~~" A wave of cheers interrupted the conversation between the two. The speech on the high platform had ended, which meant that the Water Curtain Festival had officially begun.

"Everyone." After the cheers faded, Shuer clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the Dark Moon Temple members around him. "This mission has come to a successful conclusion. Enjoy the celebrations you have never experienced in these two days. In two days, Let’s set off for home.”

"In such a hurry?"

"No way, we are not as leisurely as you in the Silver Moon Temple. Ten days later, the apostles of Lord Simon, the Lord of the Sky, will be waiting for me to meet in the Temple of the Gods. This is a big deal, hehe, a big deal that people can't wait for." . Moria, when the time comes you come back with us and you will have a new job."

"Eh? But I'm moulting recently."

"Then go too!"

　The content of these two chapters in the plan was originally ten chapters, but contrary to nature, it was compressed into two chapters. It's so uncomfortable.

　　The sixth volume is over. After the finale of the two chapters tomorrow, the seventh volume "The Other Side of the Sky" will begin. I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you.
