dark moon

Chapter 477 The historic meeting at the end
Delia turned off the indoor light, climbed into the soft bed, stretched her tired body comfortably, let out a contented moan, and showed a sweet smile.

Everything in my memory is still so clear, the deserted house, rough meals, cold beds, and indifferent neighbors. Even if I am among the crowd, I still only taste loneliness and isolation.How many times have I woke up from nightmares calling my parents’ names, with cold tears streaming down my face? How many times have I happily dreamed of my parents coming back to me again, letting me immerse myself in the love of my parents again, only to wake up and find everything Just a phantom.

The hardship of life and loneliness made Delia unusually precocious. At a young age, she understood too many things about the world that she should not have known. However, even so, there was still hope hidden in her useful heart. Hope. You can go back to your parents and call them Mom and Dad again.

The wish actually came true.

The cabin with a suitable temperature, the fully automatic service of intelligent machinery, the rich and delicious food, the fluffy bedding that only appears in dreams, and the dearest father and mother.

Those are the two people that the girl loves most, and they are also the two people who love the girl the most. They know that they are not related by blood, and they know that everything is just a memory in the virtual world, but this attachment is real, and they cannot be separated no matter what, even if they are separated by a few years. Ten years later, a girl can still call her mom and dad without hesitation.

Although her parents are extremely old, according to the judgment of the medical robot, her father only has a few months to live at most, and her mother will also die in one or two years at most. At that time, she will lose her newly found relatives again, but Dili Delia was already very satisfied, being able to accompany them through the last part of their lives, being able to cuddle up with them every day and enjoy the bright starry universe outside the ship, Delia felt that this was already the greatest happiness.

What's more, there is new faith and the hope brought by the goddess.

The goddess bestowed miraculous abilities. The most devout self mastered the first basic divine technique in just a few days. Although the success rate was very low and it had almost no real effect, the most it only made oneself glow. But this has broken the understanding of the Brown Star civilization for thousands of years, completely subverted the persistence of the Brown Star people, and made the girl completely fall into the embrace of faith. She decided to follow the goddess closely and never waver. She believed , as long as everyone is devout enough in their beliefs and works hard enough, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and win a future for civilization.

This must be the best gift that fate has brought to me, the girl thought, no, it is not fate, this is the gift that uncle brought to me, and uncle is the gift that fate has brought to me, hee, uncle is the best gift Okay, thank you uncle.

Thinking of Xiure who left, Delia was a little uneasy. This crazy behavior of actively breaking into the Great Rift was unprecedented. None of the previous victims could come back. Although in Delia's eyes, Xiu'er I am already omnipotent, but the girl still can't suppress her worries. Uncle, please don't let anything happen to you. When you say goodbye, can you tell me personally that we will meet again, even though my parents are He said, even if you won't be in danger in the Great Rift, you will definitely have no chance to come back. But I know that you have never lied to me, and you will definitely not do it this time. You will definitely appear in front of me again, Just smile and pat me on the head.By the way, you still owe me five gold grains as a reward. You are the worst kind of guy who can even refuse the reward of a child. I can only forgive you if you appear in front of me safely next time. Well, just I even forgive you for letting those guys take away such a large amount of equipment.

It was such a big pile, so much that Delia chuckled when she recalled it. Even the powerful Superman could hardly move it, especially the thick, short, bearded one, who was about to be overwhelmed by the cargo on his body. It is said that it is a job benefit for Sister Wei. It is a lie again. How can Sister Wei use so many equipments? Moreover, I have never heard that the external equipment of artificial intelligence also includes anti-gravity levitators and ion thrusters. Those included are things that only the floating city can use.Moreover, the reason for taking away so many general-purpose computers was to find a group of boyfriends for Sister Wei so that she would not be too lonely by herself. What a stupid uncle. Sparks are about to appear in Sister Wei's eyes. Uncle, just wait. Well, when you go back, the painful life will be with you for a long time, hehehehe.

Along with happy thoughts, Delia's consciousness gradually blurred and she fell into a deep sleep. Lying on the bed, the girl had a happy dream. In the dream, there was no source of disaster, no fleeing fleet, and no crisis-ridden universe. There is no despair that follows, just a normal world and a normal life.In the dream, my parents regained their youthful appearance and stayed with me all the time. They lived in a small but warm house. In the dream, I went to and from school like a normal child and spent a wonderful childhood. , in the dream, one night, someone rang the doorbell, and when he opened the door, he saw that the uncle was standing at the door with his friends, showing a kind and familiar smile.

The next moment, Delia woke up from her dream.

At least she felt like she was waking up from a dream.

Where am I?The girl sat up and thought blankly. She was sure that she was not on the bed where she fell asleep, or even on the familiar Jackdaw, because as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the dark and deep starry sky.

The ground beneath her was rough and hard, and above her head was the night sky with twinkling stars. The breeze blew gently across the girl's cheeks. There was no metallic smell in the wind that she was accustomed to on the spaceship, and it was pure and ethereal.

Looking up, a water-blue planet hangs in the starry sky. Huge stars are like fireballs, slowly rotating around the water-blue planet. There are unknown things further out than the stars. Hundreds of them are still there but not there. , half-real and half-virtual images of the planet, are also rotating around the blue planet in their own orbits.Farther away, billions of stars emitted little bits of starlight, the sky was filled with brilliance and starlight twinkled.

Looking down, I saw dark red land under my feet. It was barren and barren, without any plants or the breath of life. I leaned over and grabbed a handful of dust. The soil was dry and rough. When I rubbed it in my hands, it looked like gravel. It was clear. They are not beautiful, but they give the girl an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

What planet am I on?The girl blinked her confused eyes, completely confused as to what was happening. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she stood up suddenly and looked behind her. Behind her was the same starry sky, not as she imagined. A terrifying and dark source of disaster.

No source of disaster?Or on the other side of the planet?The girl frowned and had a bolder idea, or am I no longer in the original world?

However, she could no longer think too much. When she looked back, she discovered that this place was not a deserted star, because when she turned back, she saw a magnificent temple, quietly sitting on the Not far behind her.

Delia had never seen a temple, and had never heard of it even in childhood stories. She only had the memory of her education period, and had heard such an ancient name several times. It was just a noun, and she couldn't even imagine the image. .However, when she saw this temple, the girl immediately thought of this term. In her heart, only the name temple was enough to describe the building complex in front of her.

Spacious squares, towering statues of gods, tall buildings, white jade stone steps, endless majesty and mystery, coming from the building complex, it seems that you can directly feel the majesty of the gods.

"Dang, Dang, Dang", several long bells rang from the depths of the temple. The bells had endless penetrating power, as if pointing directly to the depths of Delia's soul, making her unable to help but feel a sense of The urge to prostrate.

Walking along the bell, the girl walked under the statue and looked up at the statue. The goddess's long hair was spread behind her, her head was slightly lowered, and she looked down at the world with an expression of compassion.There is also an inexplicable feeling of intimacy. When the girl sees the statue, she feels as if she is seeing her mother, safe, relaxed and defenseless.

"Is this... the temple of the Dark Moon Goddess?" A strange thought arose in the girl's mind. She was clearly in two worlds, and this was clearly impossible. But the first thing Delia thought of was this final thought. Impossible answer, "Strange, if that's the case, why did I come here? Shouldn't I be sleeping on the spaceship? No, am I still dreaming now? It's just that I spent too much time praying during the day, which caused me to dream at night. Here? That’s not right. Even if it’s a dream, I’ve never seen a temple. How could I dream of such a real scene, and... my five senses... are so clear, it doesn’t feel like I’m in a dream at all.”

The girl's heart was full of doubts, but she also had small expectations. She already believed in the goddess devoutly, and deep down in her heart she was looking forward to visiting the goddess's palace and offering her loyalty to the goddess in person. Now she had such a good opportunity. , even if it was just in a dream, the girl decided to enter the temple and look for traces of the goddess.

Panting, she climbed up the long stone steps and pushed open the door of the temple with all her strength. After passing through the solemn hall full of carved stained glass, the girl stood on a stone platform at the end of the hall and looked down at the empty Space and rows of long tables and chairs.This must be a place where spiritual leaders preach doctrines, the girl thought, imagining herself standing on the stage wearing a holy robe, facing thousands of Brown Star believers below, skillfully explaining the goddess's will to the believers.

Hee, after posing in a few decent poses, the girl snickered and shook her head, as satisfied as if she had completed a proud prank. After confirming that the hall was empty, she quietly opened the door behind the hall and entered. Inside the building complex.

As soon as I opened the door, my eyes suddenly opened up.Behind the door is a spacious courtyard with blooming flowers and green grass. In contrast to the barren and barren outside, this place is as beautiful as a dream.In the garden, white stone pillars point directly to the sky. Beautiful patterns are carved on the stone pillars, which seem to be extraordinary and exude a gentle atmosphere.

"The palace of the Dark Moon Goddess is really a beautiful place." Although there was no reason, Delia was certain in her heart that this was Luna's temple. The beauty and grandeur here were indeed far beyond the girl's imagination. Unfortunately, , if the little one knew that this beautiful building was just a crumbling ruin in the real world, he would definitely cry.

"Where is the goddess?" Thinking this in her heart, Delia's sight seemed to be attracted by something. Through the barriers of flowers, plants and trees, it focused on a small building inside the temple.Compared with other buildings around it, the target is not conspicuous, and there is nothing special about it, but once the girl saw it, she couldn't take her eyes away, as if there was a voice in her heart telling her, that's where you want to go. place.

Then go and have a look. With this thought in mind, Delia slowly walked towards the goal. She relaxed all the way without any vigilance. This is the temple of the goddess, and it is the safest place in the world. As the goddess As a devout believer, what should we worry about?

However, for some unknown reason, the closer Delia got to the target, the slower her pace became, and a shadow cast over her heart. The sharpness and spirituality of the priest made her keenly aware that once she walked into the target , everything will change, maybe... someone is waiting for her arrival inside.

"I am Delia who wants to be the hero of the Brown Star civilization." The girl told herself, "What else is worth fearing?"

Encouraging herself in her heart, the girl plucked up the courage and walked into the target building. As soon as the door opened, the girl was shocked and froze on the spot.

There was no light source in the room, but Delia seemed to see countless lights. There was no sound in the room, but the girl seemed to hear loud and holy hymns echoing in her ears. There was almost nothing in the room except a jade statue as tall as a person. Standing in the middle of the room, exuding endless majesty, making mortals feel ashamed, and in front of the statue, a girl wearing a crown and a black holy robe is kneeling to the statue, with a focused and pious expression, with deep nostalgia .

Who are you?Delia was certain that this girl, who was about the same age as herself, was definitely not the Dark Moon Goddess she believed in. But just as she was about to ask, the girl who was kneeling stopped her with a wave of her hand.

The girl did not express surprise at Delia's appearance, and did not even look back at all. She just raised her index finger to make a silent gesture, and then gently patted her side, as if sending an invitation to a familiar friend. Just as casual.

Delia was stunned for a few seconds, looked at the black robe on the other party's body, and confirmed that it was the same style as her own. Then she let go of her doubts and vigilance towards strangers, and walked slowly to the girl, imitating her appearance, He knelt down in front of the statue, clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and prayed silently.

"There is not much time left today. I will only say it once. Remember it carefully and don't forget it." The girl finally finished her prayer. Her voice was clear and sweet, but her tone was serious and even a little heavy. "I am Lord Luna in the mortal world. The representative of the Church, the archbishop of the Dark Moon Temple, and the first apostle of Lady Luna. From a doctrinal point of view, all personnel appointments of the church in the mortal world must be approved by me. Especially for someone with your status, it should be approved by me. It only takes effect if I bless you in person. This is not a useless ritual or etiquette. According to the rules, this ritual has its own specific meaning. If it is not carried out, you will not be able to exercise the authority of the agent in your world."

"However, due to your particularity, it is difficult to hold an authorization ceremony in person in the short term in a practical sense, so we can only use this method. Fortunately, although the method is different, it is still recognized by the laws of the world in a sense, and there is complete The effect. Therefore, today I ask for the goddess’s permission to summon your spiritual body into the goddess’s kingdom. Although it will take some effort, it can avoid the obstacles of the world barrier and allow the two of us to communicate face to face.”

"As a child of the goddess, I don't want to waste too much of your divine power, so I will omit the meaningless ritual steps in front of you and let's start directly." Lisa finally turned to face Delia, With a holy smile on his face, he did not draw a circle on his chest like a Dark Moon priest should do, but stretched out his hand like a mortal, "Well, let's get to know each other, I am Archbishop Lisa, you can call me Li Master Sha, of course, I also allow you to call me by my first name."

"I... I'm Delia from Brown Star, nice to meet you." The girl bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, then held Lisa's outstretched hand, "According to what you said, I should be Brown Star of the world's..."

"The district bishop, the top church leader next to the archbishop, of course, is a different system from the battle priest, and there is no comparison." Knowing that Delia didn't know the details of the church, Lisa took the initiative to complete the self-introduction for her, "You Nice to meet me? But, I'm not happy to meet you."

"Huh?" Delia exclaimed briefly, looking at this strange girl in confusion.

"Actually, I am very happy that you have joined the ranks of Dark Moon believers. You have brought sufficient faith to the goddess and have also brought great help to the development of the church. Based on this, I am more than willing to join you. Welcome, even full of gratitude." Lisa explained faintly, "But, personally, I don't actually like you, because with your appearance, everyone has more things to worry about in the future, and the worries are also reduced. More, the most important thing is that I am the one who should stand by my brother's side, but you distracted my brother's attention as soon as you appeared, and he even placed the honor of establishing the faith channel on you and me. , and asked me to cooperate with him in lying."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Delia looked puzzled and didn't understand Lisa's nonsense at all. "Who is your brother? Also, why are you lying together and what honor?"

"Oh, it's nothing. It seems that brother is really lying again." Lisa showed a naughty smile, wrinkled her nose and said slyly, "Brother is sometimes stupid and completely ignores that we can meet like this. However, I I can guess why my brother lied. Seeing as he was thinking about me, even though I didn’t like it, I still reluctantly pretended not to know.”

"So, who is your brother?"

"What do you say?"

"Is it uncle? No way!" Delia's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you uncle's sister?"

"Ha, if you call him uncle, then I will feel more at ease." Lisa's eyes became more kind when she looked at Delia, and even her smile became much kinder. "This is the end of the self-introduction. Now we are officially start."

"Huh? Oh, good."

“Under the light of the dark moon, in the name of the first apostle of the Aluminous Moon, Delia is recognized as the Bishop of the Brown Star World District and granted the responsibility of exercising authority on his behalf... Praise the Lord, praise the Aluminous Moon, it is holy. .”

"Seiya."

　Oops, calm down and don't argue, it's such a waste, right? Hehehehe, Pi is very happy now.
