Goddess Wanhua Mirror

"Your place should be Pine Tree Village, right?"

"Yes, it is Pine Tree Village, which has been moved here for three and a half years."

"That's right, but why are there so many people?"

The green armored female knight muttered, lifted the blindfold on the upper half of the visor and looked around. It is not said that everyone in the village is fat and strong, but at least the complexion is normal, which means that the standard of living should be okay.Moreover, there are almost 2000 people watching the excitement on both sides of the street within sight.

This made the female knight murmur in her heart. The situation in the village in front of her obviously had a way out of the information she had obtained in advance, and the difference was not as simple as a star and a half.

End of this chapter

In front of a large crowd of onlookers present, the female knight took off her helmet, revealing a coiled head of fiery red hair and a youthful and heroic handsome face.

The fly in the ointment was that there was a large burn scar on the right side of the lady knight's forehead, which made the overall score slightly reduced.

The female knight's name is Sharo Lumley, she is the eldest daughter of the current Earl of Lumley, the captain of the warlord of the Earl's Spike Legion, and to put it bluntly, she is the head of the military police. Come to inspect the northern border area.

More than three months ago, the Earl suddenly received a request for help from Jie Gang, the deputy head of the Silver Wing Knights who was out on a special mission, saying that their mission in the Void Forest had failed, and it had also brought disaster to many pioneer villages on the border. , These people are in urgent need of rescue, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this cold winter.

After the earl received the news, he immediately opened a warehouse to release grain. Although the villages of the pioneers on the border were all directly under the royal family and did not belong to his earldom in name, the earl and the current king were close buddies, and he himself He is a very benevolent lord, so he didn't do anything to save the refugees.

The army escorting the relief food quickly returned to the earldom after sending the food to the border area.Afterwards, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow in winter, and limited by the backwardness of communication means, the Earl was completely unaware of the situation on the border. However, in a responsible manner, he sent his daughter to the border to check the local situation after the ice and snow melted in spring. , if there is any difficulty, the earldom will do what it can and provide assistance according to the actual situation.

With the order given by his father, Sha Luo led a team of warlord cavalry to the border. As soon as they arrived in Ximu Town, they found that the situation was far worse than they had imagined before they came.

At the beginning, the Earlland sent a total of enough food for 1 people for four months and several thousand sets of cotton clothes to the border area. Considering that the actual population here is only more than 1 people, the food should be used sparingly. There must be some left in their own hands, and it shouldn't be difficult to survive this winter.

However, when Shaluo arrived in Ximu Town, what he saw was a bleak scene of starvation everywhere. In Ximu Town, which received all the relief food, more than a thousand refugees died of freezing and starvation in one winter. Can be buried hastily, but most of the living people are yellow and thin, only the mayor and his party who crawl out to welcome them are full of fat, fat pigs!

Sha Luo knew without asking, that this group of people must have done some heinous and nasty deeds, so he asked his subordinates to arrest them without hesitation, and asked the situation clearly after a few whips.

It turned out that as soon as the relief food was delivered to Ximu Town, the mayor of the town and the priests of the local Four Seasons Goddess Sect conspired to send all the food and supplies in the name of their unified distribution.

The escorting troops were anxious to get home before the heavy snow closed the mountain, so they gave them everything without hesitation.

As soon as the escort troops left, the mayor immediately greeted his men and moved everything to his warehouse.Refugees from outside the town, no matter what village they are from, can't take even a grain of grain from them for nothing. They have to pay a lot of money to buy it, and even exchange their daughters.

As for the residents of this town, except for the mayor and the priest's henchmen, they can only get a small amount of food, which is barely enough to survive.These inhuman beasts hoarded all the relief food given by the earl and hoarded it, waiting for the road to open in the next spring, so that they could sell it for money.

In the end, Sha Luo brought a whole troop of cavalry to Ximu Town before they could finish their dreams of making a fortune.

Sha Luo, who learned the truth, was furious, and directly "hanged" the mayor and his henchmen one by one.

The priests in this town are also their accomplices, but after all, the Four Seasons Goddess Sect is very powerful, so Sha Luo spared his life. He just took off the priest's robe, whipped him severely in public, and then sent someone to arrest this guy. Bundle them up and send them to Wolfhelm City, the capital of the Earldom.There is the northern main hall of the Goddess of the Four Seasons Sect there, I believe the bishop with squinting eyes will understand what she means.

After getting rid of the greedy mayor and his gang, Shaluo immediately took out all the relief food they had embezzled, and quickly distributed it to the local townspeople. The villages also suffered. Many refugees went to a place called Songshu Village to seek asylum after seeking help from Ximu Town to no avail.

Later, the village also sent people to the town to ask for help, saying that they had taken in thousands of refugees there, and they came to ask for relief food when they heard that the town had relief food, but the stingy mayor threw them some rags, and later The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the town never heard from Songshu Village again.

Knowing this situation, Sha Luo suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Thousands of refugees had gathered in Songshu Village, but they failed to get a grain of food from Ximu Town. Now that more than three months have passed, she can hardly imagine the situation. What a horrible scene of hell it will be.

Holding a glimmer of hope, Sha Luo personally brought a batch of relief food, and found two guides who knew the way to rush to Songshu Village.She had already prepared for the worst in her heart, but when she came over to take a look, she found that the situation here was many times better than Ximu Town.

The two guides also burst into tears when they saw the local villagers. If they knew the situation here was so good, why did they stay in the town in the first place!

Judging from what I have seen with my own eyes, Songshu Village has obviously survived the crisis safely. Compared with Ximu Town, it is like a world of difference.

Both sides have survived this winter by drinking soup, but the soup in Ximu Town is made of moldy old grain and sawdust, while in Songshu Village it is minced wild boar.In addition, take a bath and sauna regularly, and dance two sets of "blessing dance" with the priest every day.Not only have the villagers never been hungry, but their physical fitness has also improved.

Sha Luo didn't expect the situation here to be like this. In fact, if she could leave Wolfhelm City two days later, she would be able to wait for Hamilton and Jie Gang who just came back from the border. I went to another place, so I couldn't send out the information about Songshu Village in time.

But no matter what, it's better to have nothing to do in the village than to starve all over the place. Just as Sha Luo was about to ask the village head in front of him carefully how you survived this winter, there was a white-haired man next to him who was not tall but not small. The nun suddenly said to her very rudely.

"I said, Miss Knight, who is dressed like a big green pepper, can I trouble you to make way a little bit, there are newlyweds who are eager to go to the wedding ceremony behind this, and you are standing in the middle of the road like this, it looks very awkward Public morality!"

End of this chapter

Aina's voice can be described as shocking and weeping ghosts and gods!

Ordinary people would usually behave submissively when they saw a knight lord, especially one with aristocratic status, just like Rom beside him, the village head, he didn't even dare to raise his head too high now.

If you meet a knight passing by normally, the old guy will not be shrunk like this, but the red-haired female knight in front of her is obviously unusual. First, she is wearing a more gorgeous style of special armor, and second, there is always someone carrying the family crest on her back. Zhang, so without her introducing herself, the old man could tell at a glance which family she was from.

But Aina didn't understand this, thinking that Lu De didn't teach it!

In normal times, the little nun would definitely be charged with "colliding with nobles" for her actions just now. If there is no bishop-level religious high-level support to intercede, a whip will definitely be indispensable.

But fortunately, Sha Luo is not the kind of arrogant and domineering nobleman. Her father taught her since she was a child that as a nobleman, she should integrate her arrogance into her bones instead of superficial, and be kind to those who bring her wealth. Those religious gods are as hypocritical as they always say one thing and do another.

So Sha Luo waved his hand to stop the subordinates behind him who wanted to attack, and turned to look at the old village who was already trembling with fright.

"Mr. Village Chief, my people and I rushed here and brought relief food that was intercepted by Ximu Town. Can you arrange a place for us to stay first?"

"Yes! Immediately! I will arrange it now."

Hearing that the noble female knight in front of him stepped down the steps, old Rom immediately jumped up, called his eldest son, and led all the knight masters to the resting place.So the knights and the grain carts continued to move forward, and soon passed the main road, allowing the newcomers to continue to the temple.

The female knight looked at the marriage pattern she had never seen before, and then glanced at the simple temple standing on the hillside not far away and the surrounding villagers who seemed to be completely unaffected by the disaster, feeling more and more suspicious in her heart.

"Shield, take everyone to set it up, chopping board, file, you two get off my horse and go over there with me to have a look."

Under Sha Luo's order, the cavalry team split up, and the large group of people continued to move forward, while Sha Luo himself led two of his men, pretending to be watching the excitement, and walked towards the temple with the crowd.

Intuition told Shaluo that all unusual things in this village would find answers in that seemingly inconspicuous temple.

At this time, on the side of the temple, Lude was standing at the door, frowning and looking towards the direction of the village.He had already seen the group of knights carrying the banner from a distance just now, and guessed that they should be someone from the official family, and it seemed that a lot of relief food had been brought to the cart.

Lude reckoned that the knights who brought the relief food were probably wondering at the moment. Anyone who saw the current situation in Pine Tree Village would inevitably have doubts in their hearts.In this world, there has never been such a thing as "one party is in trouble and all parties are supporting". As long as the lord is willing to open a warehouse to release food, even if it is not in time, he is already a very good person.

However, Songshu Village can survive the disaster by itself, and even save thousands of refugees, which seems unreasonable to the lord!

At this time, Hume jumped to Lude's side, muttering in a low voice.

"Hey! See that guy in the green armor over there who looks like a big green pepper? She's the leader of the group of knights, be careful."

"Ok, I know."

Lude nodded. Although he still doesn't know what the knights over there want to do, he must not panic at this time.

Soon, sixteen couples walked to the door of the temple, and Lude welcomed them into the hall with a smile.

Since the lobby can no longer accommodate more than 3000 people from the whole village, only couples who are going to get married and relatives and friends who have received invitations can come in this time. Just like entering a movie theater with a ticket, everyone has a corresponding seat. , just enough to fill up.

Sha Luo walked over with two of his subordinates, and the dead leaves stopped him.The female knight saw that the opponent was so big, he looked like a mountain without armor, and she was very courageous when she stood there, thinking why such a good seedling didn't come to serve as a soldier, it would be a pity to guard the gate of the temple .

"You can't enter without an invitation."

"Presumptuous! Do you know who you are talking to?"

"Okay, chopping board! They are getting married."

After restraining his restless subordinates, Sha Luo didn't want to start a conflict now for no reason.She had been secretly observing the reactions of the villagers around her all the way just now, and it was not hard to tell from the eyes that the people here had some resentment towards herself, or the government she represented, but they dared not express it clearly due to the difference in force. Show it.

At this time, Hume came over, pulled the fallen leaves aside, and spoke in a humble but decent tone.

"I'm sorry, my lords. My younger brother is a little dumb. I've neglected you. I'm here to apologize to you. At present, a group wedding is being held in the temple. If some distinguished lords want to watch the ceremony It's busy, I can help a few people arrange it, I believe it should not be difficult to temporarily add a few chairs in the front row, but if you want to find my priest, I'm afraid you will have to wait a little while, please forgive me. "

Seeing that Hume was smiling and his manners were very decent, Shaluo couldn't help but look her up and down. Her dark wheat-colored skin didn't look rough at all. She was either pampered or had practiced fighting qi and martial arts. Her metabolism was faster than ordinary people, so outsiders In the skin is reflected.

However, what made Sha Luo slightly uncomfortable was that this female warrior, like the two nuns just now, had a very eye-catching bulge on her chest.

"What the hell is this temple, why is it bigger than one?"

Muttering a few words in her heart, Sharo didn't show any expression on her face. She threw a gold coin at Hume and said with a smile.

"Even if you come to watch the ceremony, you will also find your priests. This little money should be regarded as a small gift for today's newlyweds. Please pass it on your behalf."

"I will definitely deliver it. Please come with me."

Under the leadership of Hume, Sha Luo and his party also entered the temple. The villagers next to them saw it, and at most murmured a few words. They had long been accustomed to the "truth of this world" that the nobles enjoyed various privileges.

In fact, if it is worse, the Duran Kingdom has already been considered. People in the village have heard more than once from foreign merchants that the nobles of some countries outside have great privileges beyond imagination, and even some places have been implementing it. Horrible decrees such as "Right of the First Night".

Everyone guessed that the female knight who just went in probably didn't come to exercise the right of first night.Even if she really had this idea, the dozen or so grooms inside shouldn't be at a loss!

End of this chapter

In the hall of the temple, couples were holding hands in the aisle, waiting in line to receive the blessing from the priest, and the seats on both sides were already full of relatives and friends, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Everyone has never participated in this type of wedding. The process is not complicated but very interesting, even single dogs can enjoy it.

However, due to the arrival of Sha Luo and his party, the originally noisy hall of the temple has become much quieter.Sha Luo also felt that it was inappropriate for a nobleman to come to watch a commoner's wedding, but in order to find out what happened in Songshu Village, she had to sit here.

On the stage, Lu De glanced at Sha Luo who had been staring at him, but he didn't panic at all on the surface, and he still presided over the wedding with ease.

The newlyweds came forward one by one, and Rudd would ask each of the men and women the same oath.

"Mr. Goudan of Pine Tree Village, are you willing to solemnly swear in front of the god of love and desire, Sabul Cohen Yenis, that you will be loyal to this love in the future, regardless of life, old age, sickness or death, or poverty and wealth, and you will be loyal to this love with your lover, Miss Erya?" Love each other and grow old together?"

After the two-time questioning, basically no idiot on both sides will suddenly say "I don't want to".Lude will then give each of them a brass ring infused with a faint holy light as a witness to their marriage vows.

These sixteen pairs of rings were made by the blacksmith Bank. Although they are blessed with real magical powers, because the rings are small in size and the brightness does not need to be very high, it can be said that the power consumed is negligible, but for married couples However, the significance of this ring is extraordinary.

In fact, Lude later discovered that these couples who received the ring had a very good relationship after marriage.Because the rings on their hands will always remind them that the promise they made in front of the goddess today, this kind of power to care for a happy marriage is not a kind of divine power!

In this way, a pair of couples signed a vow under the witness of the goddess. Lude could finish a pair in three to five minutes with his oral work, and all sixteen couples were married soon.Seeing this, all the relatives and friends present stood up and applauded, and Sha Luo had no choice but to follow the atmosphere and nodded silently at the same time.

"This marriage is really interesting!"

However, leaving aside this interesting wedding ceremony, Shaluo sat and watched for a long time, this temple gave her a very strange feeling!

The first point that bears the brunt is the two statues in front, which are pretty good-looking, but no one in other people's temples said that they are dedicated to the two gods, and she has never heard of these two lustful goddesses.

Unlike ordinary illiterate people with mud legs, Sha Luo was born in an aristocratic family with a long history of family education. In addition to practicing martial arts and fighting spirit, he also has a lot of social etiquette and theological knowledge that nobles need to use.

However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't remember any sects that believed in these two goddesses in Duran Kingdom or other surrounding countries.

Medicine God Evelina?Eros god Sable Cohen Yenis?

Who and who are these f*cking things! ?

Fortunately, this temple gave Sha Luo a good first impression, neat, clean and solemn, and the old priest looked decent, not the kind of treacherous person.However, Sha Luo didn't really think that the other party was harmless just because the other party looked like a good person.

After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds and their relatives left the hall one after another and came to the gate of the temple.Sha Luo also followed, and saw sixteen brides holding bouquets in their hands, lined up in front of the gate towards the temple, and on the slope side, there were many young men, women and children gathered, and everyone was paying attention Staring at the bride, they seemed to be expecting something.

"What are they doing?"

"I don't know, some kind of religious ceremony?"

Sha Luo and the two subordinates looked at each other, when the priest came out and said to the brides in front of him with a smile.

"Let's get started! Pass happiness to others."

Hearing Lu De's words, the brides all threw the bouquets in their hands behind them vigorously, and everyone on the side of the slope stretched out their hands, wanting to fight for the bouquets thrown over.

Lude took a look at the situation on the side of the slope, and said to himself that it was fortunate that he had asked someone to shovel the remaining snow in advance, and let Hume and Fallen Leaves watch below to prevent any accidents. Next time there is a bouquet toss, it must be changed. safer place.

After some scrambling, all the bouquets were in the hands of the new holders.Sha Luo was at a loss as to what was being robbed at first, until she heard a bride tell the person who snatched the bouquet that it was time for you to marry XX, and she realized it.

"Hmm! It's really interesting."

So far, the wedding ceremony is officially over. The couple and their relatives and friends expressed their thanks to the priest one after another, and then returned to the village one after another. The band has been prepared in the square. Today, the whole village will get high and dance the dance until dark. .

Lu De declined the invitation of the villagers, saying that he was getting old, and it was already very difficult to do a blessing dance that was good for physical and mental health every day, and dancing other dances would definitely kill him.

Seeing that the priest refused, everyone didn't force it, but they still invited him to sit down later, no one in the village would not welcome him.

When the crowd dispersed, Shaluo finally had the opportunity to meet this old priest who was loved by the villagers and exuded a unique temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Priest."

"Hello, Miss Knight, what can I do with the old man?"

"I am Sharo Lumley from the Lumley family, and I am here to inspect the distribution of relief food in the border area on behalf of the Earl. Please forgive our negligence a few months ago, and hand over the food we sent to someone who should not be entrusted people."

"It's understandable that no one is a sage and no one has faults. Thanks to the Goddess' mercy, we managed to survive."

"Mr. Priest, please forgive me, I'm really curious. There are so many people in your village. How did you manage to survive this winter without receiving relief food? Just three 40 yuan tombstones. Please believe that I don't mean anything else, but the situation on your side... is really unusual."

Sha Luo's words sounded reserved, but the meaning was clear enough. Lude also knew that she would definitely have questions about this, so he spoke slowly as he was prepared.

"This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. If you don't mind, please go in with the old man. Let's sit down and talk slowly. I promise to explain the whole process clearly. To be honest, I At this age, the bones of the body are really not comparable to young people, just now presiding over the wedding and standing for so long, the legs and feet have started to tremble a little."
