Chapter 590 The Restoring Temple
"Xixisuosuo, Xixisusuosuo", the sound of thin footsteps, accompanied by the early morning mist, sounded deep in the Dark Moon Temple. The footsteps continued over and over again, as if someone was pacing there repeatedly, one after another. It only takes half an hour to walk.

The chirping of insects has stopped, but the chirping of birds has not yet started. It is five o'clock in the morning, which is the quietest time of the day. The entire inner courtyard of the Dark Moon Temple is silent, with only the faint sound of footsteps lingering in the dark inner courtyard.

A year later, the Dark Moon Temple has undergone earth-shaking changes. Those who have not been there recently may not believe that this place is the same old, dilapidated and endangered building in the past, with ruins and walls everywhere.

The previous projects have been completed, and the abandoned building materials accumulated in the temple for hundreds of years have been completely cleared away. The half-collapsed stone hall, tilted stone pillars, half-remaining statues, and decayed wooden houses have all been cleared away. Walking in the temple, finally, There is no need to worry about being smashed by these historical garbage anymore, let alone the poisonous insects and snakes that accidentally emerge from the rubble. They have lost their habitat for hundreds of years, and they have no choice but to move.

The ground was re-paved with stone bricks and slates, cut from black gravel that was most suitable to symbolize the dark moon. It was thick, solid, and low-key, just like the lightless moon hanging high in the sky.The locations not covered by stone brick floors and stone roads have been filled with plants. With the friendly assistance of the Forest Temple, the transplanted flowers, plants and shrubs have become prosperous in only a short time, although the cost is a dozen or so. The Lin Jing struggled in the temple for a month, causing no peace in the Rose City. But the great Lady Lisa felt that, well, it was still worth it. It was not only her family who was tortured, but also the entire outer city of the Rose City. After enduring a month of suffering, there is nothing unbalanced in my heart.

The effect is outstanding. Through the efforts of the forest elves, the Dark Moon Temple has become the most beautiful one among the five main temples in the City of Roses. Between the majestic temple buildings, there are green grass and flowers, along the thick stone slabs. Walking along the road, listening to the teachings of the Dark Moon Goddess in the breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

Well, of course, that's assuming you ignore those screeching grasses dotting your lawn.

During the process of transplanting plants, the forest elves accidentally mixed some seeds of the Screaming Grass, a unique plant in the Macca Forest, into the seeds of ordinary lawns, and then planted them together in the Dark Moon Temple.The appearance of this kind of screaming grass is no different from that of ordinary lawn grass. It can even help the surrounding plants better absorb nutrients from the ground, allowing them to grow healthier and more lush. Its only disadvantage is that... scream.

Yes, they usually live peacefully and can't notice anything strange at all. However, once the Screaming Grass is slightly damaged, it will emit a piercing scream. Although this scream for self-protection is not particularly loud, it is abrupt. And it's sharp enough to scare people to the point of trembling with fear.You can imagine that one day, after listening to a sermon devoutly, a group of Christian couples were wandering hand in hand on the lawn outside the temple, rubbing their clothes and whispering, when suddenly a shrill scream sounded at their feet, well, something like that has already happened.

For this reason, the believers of the Dark Moon are very distressed. However, for laymen like them, there is no way to solve the problem. It is extremely difficult to distinguish the screaming grass from the ordinary lying grass. Unless all lawns are eradicated, I am afraid that the screaming grass will The nightmare can only continue forever, which is really... gratifying.

However, everything has its pros and cons, and this virtually solves a big problem that plagues most temples.Temples with a large number of believers always face a problem. There are many people visiting the temple every day. Compared with the stone pavement, these believers prefer to walk on the vegetation when they are outside the courtyard. As a result, the vegetation is repeatedly trampled and damaged so seriously that every year A large amount of money must be invested to replenish the destroyed plants.The number of believers in the Dark Moon Temple has skyrocketed in the past year. For Rose City locals alone, the number of believers who visit every day is as high as five on average. Ahem, this is already a lot for the Dark Moon Church, but there is still no need to meet. Regarding the problem of trampling vegetation, we must admit that this is the biggest contribution of the screaming grass. Well, it would be nice if there were no such things in the inner courtyard.

In the eyes of the Dark Moon believers, the screaming grass is a lingering nightmare, but in the eyes of another group of people, the screaming grass is simply the cutest plant, selflessly providing them with a wealth of life after school. entertainment experience.That's right, they are talking about the students of the Temple of Knowledge and Wisdom in the first school of the Darkmoon Church.The name of the school is outrageously long, but there is no way, this is the result of many discussions and cannot be changed, so when each student writes their self-introduction, they will silently complain about the decision of the name, um, it is Some innocent priest.

Over the past year, the number of students in this strange new school has been increasing, and now it is close to 200. I have to admit that this is an astonishing number. Even one of the founders of the school and the acting principal Sa Ms. Fu did not expect that the number of students would grow so fast.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that everyone is not a fool. Seeing that the number of believers in the Dark Moon Temple has increased significantly, and the temple itself is becoming more and more valued by other temples, parents are of course more willing to pay for the work-study opportunity of helping in various temples. The children were sent to read.Not only the lower-class civilian families, but also some small nobles or small businessmen hope to send their second sons and daughters to the school of the Dark Moon Temple, also for the opportunity to serve the temple.

Ms. Saff is open to all comers, and there is no distinction between high and low in education. Moreover, the school's capacity is not yet saturated, and there is no need to choose between high and low before it is time to compete for admission resources.As for whether a certain provost, under the instruction of an unscrupulous priest, collected some resource usage fees from these wealthy families in the name of the temple, well, Ms. Saff's eyesight is not very good, so she can't see clearly.

Nowadays, the favorite entertainment activity of these children in school is to step on the screaming grass. As soon as get out of class time comes, the children will flock out and run around on the lawn outside the temple. Once anyone is lucky enough to trigger the screaming grass, If you bark, you will be envied by all the children.To be honest, it is a boring entertainment project, but considering that they are locked in the classroom to study every day during the day, and have nowhere to vent their energy, we cannot blame them harshly.

Fortunately, the Screaming Grass usually only wreaks havoc in the outer courtyard and does not have much impact on the Dark Moon Inner Courtyard.After all, there are only a few key personnel who can enter the inner courtyard. After learning about the Screaming Grass, they often intentionally avoid the lawn and choose the formal stone path, so there are very few sudden screams in the inner courtyard.

However, just this morning, after the soft footsteps lingered for half an hour, the piercing screams suddenly broke the tranquility of the temple without warning. Along with the wailing of the screaming grass, I was reminded of the screams from the girl. .

Lisa screamed.
