The Song of Gendaya

The stone chamber is small and dark. A torch is swaying and rising on the wall, emitting orange-red dim rays of light.

Silith sat on the wooden chair in the corner with one hand resting her cheek in a daze.

She looked at Linde, who was lying quietly on the simple and generous stone bed in front of her, and his pale face was reddened by the fire. There was no expression on his face, only his chest was slightly undulating.

Since entering the temple, she has no idea how long she has stayed here. It should have been dark outside.

During this period, no one set foot here except for a girl who did not say a word sent her some food and water.

Being here is indeed a bit boring and boring, but as long as she thinks about Linde's condition, she can settle down and sit still.

This period of time was enough for her to think about many things in a daze, which made many things that happened before flashed through her mind again and again like a revolving lantern.

Now what she is most eagerly looking forward to is that Roentgen will appear with someone who can treat Linde's condition. Even if she knows that the real hope is so slim, a glimmer of hope is better than no hope.

But Roentgen has not returned. She may not have completed the interview with the Supreme Priest. Perhaps at this moment, she is discussing with the sages who are well-versed in medicine about the way to relieve Sinuwara’s tears. .

There are other possibilities... but Silith is unwilling to continue these meaningless conjectures.

In addition, she thought of Mrs. Tiana again. Since last night’s transformation, the old woman has rejuvenated, but it seems that everything is inexplicable for her history and past. Mystery. And she herself seemed to have some unspeakable connection with the highest temple of the Mother Earth God.

Since she entered this temple, no one has seen her again. Where did she go? What did you do? This has become another mystery lingering in Silith's mind.

The priest Givat does not belong here. He did not even step on the Level 1 step of the temple and then left with the carriage. He should return to the temple where he belongs.

Now she is the only one with Linde, but she can do nothing. If Leliana were here, would Linde's situation be much better... However, she still didn't trust the Demoness.

Thinking of this, Xilith couldn't help feeling a different kind of sentimentality in her heart.

She got up and came to the stone bed. She reached out and touched Linde's face. The handsome face moved slightly.

Silith suddenly realized that she never seemed to have looked at him so closely.

He really resembles Florian, especially the brows and lips, but they seem to be slightly different.

For example, the long eyelashes that beat from time to time, the firmer bridge of the nose, the contour of his chin is more rounded and natural than Florian, but there are fewer edges and corners.

"They really are just alike, not exactly the same..." Silith murmured.

She moved her hand down the boy's neck again, and she straightened his collar slightly.

The ancient treasure diamond called the Stone of Cida is still hanging on his neck. It is half exposed outside of his neck at this moment, and the rays of light that shine like stars are at this moment. Already dimmed.

Silith lifted this gem to the tip of her eye.

"Is this the Shida Stone?" The elf girl muttered to herself, "Apart from being beautiful, there is nothing special about it!"

She couldn't help but talk about it. I thought of my hometown Elantil, the royal capital Surialah, and even the other ancient treasure diamond inlaid on the throne of the Royal Father, the Heart of Harken.

Compared with the Ancient Divine Artifact kept by Elf Race, this small pendant looks so insignificant and loses all its luster.

She remembered that a few years ago, the mothers seemed to have told her about this gemstone. It is of the same origin with the Heart of Harken, and both come from the ancient god of creation, Willi, and they were all presented as gifts to the ancient kings of the elves.

Times have changed. I don’t know when the gemstone called the Stone of Hidden strayed into the world, and the heart of Harken has long been forgotten by the world as the essence of the Divine Item, and has become the status of the Royal Family of the elves. The symbol of...

"Oh..." The elf woman let out a light sigh.

At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps echoed from far to near in the outer corridor.

Silith listened quietly, she knew that the person was not alone, among them was Roentgen’s familiar footsteps.

So she hurriedly put the Stone of Cida back to the bottom of Linde's collar, and stood up and looked at the door.

It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open from the outside.

The first time Silith saw Roentgen walk in, her face was full of fatigue.

Behind Roentgen is another middle-aged Goddess officer wearing a high level priest's uniform.

Silith noticed that although the short-bodied Goddess officer looked ordinary, her eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, and she looked at everything in the room blankly. Kind of not anger and prestige feeling.

"Silith, I'm really sorry to have you wait until now, I brought my teacher Nancy Grand Priest..." Roentgen said apologetically.

"Oh...no...nothing..." Silith stammered, she seemed to be stunned by the eyes of the middle-aged Goddess officer behind Roentgen.

"Is that the child?" The priest Nancy didn't want to say too much, she went straight to Linde.

"Yes, teacher."

I saw that the priest Nancy began to carefully check Linde's pupils, tongue coating, and pulse, and there was no expression on that cold face.

"Untie his clothes, I want to see the wound." Priest Nancy said to Roentgen.

"Yes, teacher."

I saw the priest Nancy and Roentgen work together, unbuttoning a few buttons on Linde's chest, and turning the underwear up.

"Be careful not to touch polluted places." Nancy priest reminded.

When Roentgen just opened the accessories inside, her hands trembled.

"How come..." Roentgen's tone was panicked.

"Sure enough..." The priest Nancy also stopped her hand movement, she sighed coldly, "This is really Shinowara's tears, what a vicious method."

Out of curiosity, Silith also took a closer look. She couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, and tears immediately filled her eyes.

She saw that Linde's chest was ulcerated, the red flesh and the brown-green poison mixed together, and it was vaguely visible that the white ribs were about to be exposed.

"Priest Nancy, do you have a way to save it?" Hillie asked in tears.

"No." Priest Nancy's tone also became heavy. She regretfully shook the head, "Know that Shinowara’s tears are insoluble poison, and this is the second time I have met in this life. The last time I met was many years ago, it was on the body of a Falatis cult. At that time, his whole body was ulcerated very quickly. In the end, he didn't even leave any bones, and more of it was read in the ancient book. The record arrived."

"Is it so incomprehensible? In this famous school city, no one can help him?" After that, Silith's eyes dimmed. When she came down, she sat slumped beside Linde, despair shrouded her head, and she burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, Silith."

Roentgen covered his face with both hands, and started crying in a low voice.

And the stern voice of the priest Nancy resounded in the room again.

"Tears can't solve all problems? Do you want everyone in the temple to hear your cries and know what's going on here?"

Immediately stopped crying, but still sobbed quietly.

Silith is also trying to control the mood that collapses at any time.

"I'm going to find the highest priest, and several other great priests!" Roentgen said, he wanted to go out.

"Roentgen, you are calm! You forgot...who can you trust?" Nancy priest sternly stopped.

"But..."

"This...what the hell is going on here..." The disharmonious feeling appeared in Silith's heart again, she Turning to look at Roentgen.

And Roentgen's pretty face seemed to be unable to stretch anymore.

"Silith, I’m really sorry...this place is different from before. I don’t know exactly where it is....I can’t trust everyone here, except for my teacher. Outside! I really regret bringing you back here... This is no longer the temple of light and compassion that I have lived in since I was a child. It has been corrupted by evil."
