dark moon

Chapter 61 A peaceful day ([-])

It was four fifty in the morning.

It was just dawning, and the morning light shone through the colored glass into the temple, heralding the beginning of a new day.

This is the residence of the bishop and the best bedroom in the Dark Moon Temple.

The bedroom not only has a beautiful wooden wardrobe, a bright glass mirror, a flat and stable desk and chair, but also an expensive crystal lamp.Although the crystal energy table lamp is only lit on festive days, it has become the most enviable thing for the six young apprentices in the temple.

The bishop is so happy, this is the unanimous thought of the six little guys.You can sleep in a bedroom with glass windows and watch the stars at night. The walls of the bedroom are cleanly painted without any cracks. Even the floor is flat and there are no annoying dents on the stone slabs. How can you live in a room like this? , it must be as happy as bathing in the radiance of the goddess.

Lisa actually thinks so too, but her focus is obviously different from that of the young apprentices.

The wardrobe, bed, tables and chairs were all made by my brother himself. Even the wood was chopped from the wilderness outside the city. Every board was stained with his sweat and smelled of love.

My brother also repaired the walls and floor with his own hands. It took three days of busy work. Every uneven place on the slate floor was carefully filled, and every crack on the wall was repaired and painted, making the whole house look like new. The same.

As for the favorite full-length mirror and crystal lamp, they were blackmailed by my brother... no, they were brought back in a friendly exchange. The seller even burst into tears of gratitude in order to feel the kindness of the goddess.

Living in this room, you can feel your brother's care all the time. For the great Lisa, this is simply the second happiest thing in the world, even with the first happiest thing - and Dark Moon. Adults together - in comparison, it's only a little bit worse, a very, very small little bit.

Happy Lisa can be immersed in happiness every day, but not now. Now she has more important things to do.

The bishop's bedroom was a suite with two rooms inside and outside, and Shur slept in the outer room.

Ever since Lisa left the projection of another world and returned to the temple four years ago, she would wake up from nightmares every night and huddle in the corner all night, too afraid to fall asleep.But the stubborn little guy never said anything. He pretended to be strong every day, as if nothing had happened, but his spirit was getting worse and worse.

In order to help her get out of the nightmare, Shuer could only move to the outside of the bedroom to protect her so that she could feel safe.The results were remarkable, and Lisa really felt safe, because every night the little guy would sneak out, climb into Shure's bed, and fall asleep in his arms.For young Lisa, apart from the embrace of the goddess, this is the safest place in the world.

Now Lisa has stopped having nightmares, and she no longer falls asleep in Shuuer's arms every night, but moving things like the bedroom is too troublesome, so she might as well continue to make do with it like this, well, at least two people That's what they say.

Shhh, stop arguing, Lisa needs to focus!
Like a little hamster, he stuck his head out of the ajar door and peered into the dark outside through the dim light.The outside is as old and desolate as the other rooms in the temple. It turns out that my brother doesn't care about his own life at all.

She crept out the door quietly using her hands and feet, and sure enough, there was no sound at all. This was Lady Lisa's own sneaking technique, which was so much better than those stupid thieves.

Sneaking, sneaking, the little animal Lisa approached Shure's bed little by little.Ha, this idiot brother is still sleeping with his head covered. Hum, let’s see how you can escape the clutches of the big devil Lisa this time.

"Huh", he suddenly opened the quilt, the big devil jumped up high and threw it on the bed: "Falling object attack from high altitude, stupid brother, it's five o'clock, it's time to get up!"

However, there was only a quilt on the bed, and there was nothing under the quilt. Shuer was not here at all.

"No!" Lisa exclaimed and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"Humph, it's too late." My brother's mocking voice came from above my head, followed by the quilt covering my head.

"Hahahaha, idiot brother, let me go, haha, I kicked, I kicked, hahahaha, don't scratch me, I'll kick again." The girl, who was scratched with her head covered, twisted her body and laughed wildly, and the girl did not forget to repair her legs from time to time. After kicking her feet a few times, cheerful laughter echoed in the quiet temple. The peaceful and peaceful day of the great Lisa began with laughter.

Five fifteen, cleaning time.

In the bathroom, two people, one tall and one short, one on the left and one on the right, stood in front of the bronze mirror to wash themselves.Wearing the same style of pajamas, her hair and clothes were in a mess from the recent scuffle. Little Lisa was still dressed roughly due to excessive physical exertion, but neither of them could hide the joy on their faces.

Brushing, brushing, the toothbrush shook up and down, with the same frequency, the same posture, and even the same brushing position. Such coordinated movements, it was obvious that the two of them had brushed their teeth like this many, many times.

"Gululu", the girl who was gargling rolled her eyes and suddenly turned her head, only to find that the idiot brother had already slipped out of the door, leaving her with only a mocking back.

"Hmph, wait and see!" The girl waved her toothbrush threateningly, and the girl smiled sweetly.

05:30, morning reading time.

Morning is the time of day when memory is best. This unfounded myth, purely to deceive people into getting up early, is unknown when it spread.But it doesn’t matter, morning reading is a tradition in most churches anyway.Reciting classics, recording incantations, and memorizing prayers. Before morning, priests holding scriptures and endorsements can be seen everywhere in the temple areas of various cities. If you go to the temples, it is even more exaggerated. Almost the whole city is there. The endorsement is simply an amazing event.

"Praise the dark moon, bestow the light beyond sight, and cleanse the invisible evil in the world."

The inner courtyard of the temple was littered with broken stone pillars and half-collapsed stone halls.It would take an astronomical amount of gold coins to repair it, and even a huge sum of money would be needed to clean it up, so they just left it like this first, and it turned out that it would last for hundreds of years.

The broken stone pillars were covered with moss and vines, and the collapsed stone hall had long become a home for small animals. The two figures of the brother and sister, one big and one small, sat on the stones and read in the morning. A few small animals Chasing and playing around Lisa's feet, they have been living in peace for many years, and they have become too familiar with each other. They are not afraid of this little girl.

However, they don't dare to go to Xiu'er. Even if they cultivate their mind and character for a few years, the bloody aura accumulated on their bodies over decades is not easy to fade away. Small animals are the most sensitive, so of course they don't dare to come over easily.

"Praise to Dark Moon, who uses his sacred body to protect the world from threats from outside."

Lisa recited the Praise of the Dark Moon solemnly, and Lisa's little face was extremely pious.

Shuuer doesn't need to endorse. For a person who has moved half of the Great Library of the Temples into his brain in two years, asking him to sit there and endorse it is simply an insult to his memory. , but sharing the joys and sorrows with my sister is a brother's bounden duty, so even if I remember the position of every word in the holy book clearly, I still have to recite it out loud with Lisa, back to back.

06:30, breakfast time.

The restaurant is very spacious. It was built with the intention of hosting a large number of clergymen to dine together, so the space is very large. However, now the huge restaurant is empty, with only a long table and ten chairs.

One corner of the long table has been broken, but the break was carefully smoothed and wrapped up to prevent the wood from hurting people. The backs of several chairs were also cracked, but they were fixed again with nails. It's pretty solid to lean on.As for other furnishings?hehe.

Shuer and Lisa were sitting at both ends of the long table. Three men and three women, and six children between the ages of six and eight were sitting on both sides. They were dressed in small coarse cloth holy robes and were waiting expectantly for the food.Of course, although the few apprentices looked very hungry, as if they had been hungry for several days, it could be seen from their faces that they were at least well fed and clothed, and would never be malnourished.For the temple in distress, this is no easy task.

Soon, Talina and another nun in her 40s each brought over a small basket of bread. It was soft and delicious white bread, and it actually had a strong aroma of butter. Could it be said that today's bread Can you put butter on bread?The expectations among the young apprentices became even stronger.

"Thank you to the Dark Moon for giving us a stable life, allowing us to enjoy sunshine, clean water and food."

Shuer and Lisa took the lead, and several children followed their example, drawing circles on their chests, closing their eyes and whispering prayers of thanksgiving. However, the naughty children were chanting prayers, and their eyes had already been opened secretly. , staring at the fragrant butter and the toasted brown bread with greedy eyes.

"Pa", an oil paper bag was thrown on the table by Xiuer. Even though the package was tightly wrapped, you could still smell the attractive aroma emanating from it.The children's eyes brightened even more. There was no doubt that this was bacon, the meat that could only be eaten for dinner every day.

In the big cities of the Kola Kingdom, meat is not particularly expensive, and most families can afford it. Even families below the poverty line can eat it every few days if they want.

However, there are ten mouths waiting for food in the Dark Moon Temple, especially seven minors with big appetites. The daily food expenses are not small, and it is not easy to have a meal of meat every day.

Fortunately, Xiuer is not an ordinary clergyman. It is not difficult for him to run tens of kilometers to hunt in the wilderness outside the city every few days. Animal skins and bones are useful materials. As for Meat, of course, becomes a delicacy.

"Lisa is just growing, so how can she cope with eating only bread every day?" Shuer said, "As for the other six, who cares what happens to them?"

This is said, but the children's meat supply is never cut off every night, and occasionally there are extra meals, such as this morning.

"This is to supplement Lisa's nutrition. She must have not eaten well in the past few days since I was gone. She has become hungry and thin. She must eat more." Shuer said with a straight face, "You guys are not allowed to snatch it."

"Brother, don't be like this, I can't eat so much." Seeing the aggrieved expressions of the young apprentices, Bishop Lisa was as gentle as a saint, "Come, let's eat together, everyone has a share."

"Yeah, Sister Bishop is the best." Amidst the cheers, the children made faces at Seul and gathered around Lisa, eagerly waiting for Sister Bishop to share the delicious bacon.

The two nuns looked at each other and smiled.

Glory goes to the Dark Moon, and gifts go to the bishop. Loyalty to the church and to His Majesty the Bishop, sometimes, needs to start from the little things bit by bit.

It seems that Lady Lisa is a fast learner.
