A quarter of an hour ago, it was still overcast, and the sky was as thick as a rendered ink landscape, when suddenly a strong wind bent the whole plane tree, and a large number of leaves were overturned, revealing the white veins underneath the leaves.A butterfly tried to do a magnificent dance in the wind, but as soon as it tried to spread its wings, it was blown away by the strong wind, and the whole forest swayed in the wind, and the strong friction between the leaves made a rustling sound far away.We sat in a carriage, the curtain on the window has been blown out of the window by the wind, the coachman in front of him raised his head to look at the clouds overhead, the sun was still shining in the morning, and now it was like the god of water was pouring all the water of the heavenly river down, those black as ink cumulonimbus clouds drifted lower and lower, like thousands of horses galloping out of the herd, rushing madly towards the entire galloping plain, in the blink of an eye it was a heavy rain downpour, the raindrops of beans fell on the ground, raising a piece of dust, and in an instant it was extinguished by more raindrops.The coachman hurried the wagon to a slightly low and leafy golden apple tree, and in the face of the heavy rain he draped two pieces of sewn raw cowhide over the bodies of the two Gubolai horses, which were his lifeblood, and could not be left in the rain.Once sick, one can also go to the temple to ask for a cup of holy water, as long as you drink a bowl of holy water, lie on the bed and sleep quietly for a night, you will definitely be cured the next day.But horses can't, if these holy water are given to the horses to drink, it is disrespectful to the gods, and it will be punished, so once the horse is sick, you can only pray that it will get better soon, or give them some herbs and soaked beans, so that it can get better faster.So, the coachman, who has been pulling his feet for a long time, is more concerned about the health of his horses, sitting under the rain eaves outside the caravan and sticking out his neck to look at the clouds in the sky.After a while, he said very firmly: "This rain can't last long, it will clear up in a while, distinguished young ladies and young masters, please take shelter from the rain under this tree!"
”I saw that half of his body was exposed outside the eaves, although there was a raincoat sewn from leather, but the rain was still very cold, and the raindrops splashed on the wrinkled face of the coachman, which made his otherwise ruddy face a little blue, maybe because it was a little cold in the rain!
I said to him lightly, "Okay, it's raining too much, please come in and take shelter!"
”The coachman smiled at me reluctantly, shook his head stubbornly, and did not look at me, nor did he hide in the carport.In the city of El, all the grooms who drove the carriage were of untouchable origin, and they did not have a fixed place to live in the city of El, because their whole net worth was a carriage with a tent, and they could travel around the country with peace and security, which could be described as very free and comfortable.But there is only one bad thing, these people who do not have a fixed place of residence but have some assets, can only say that their status is a little better than that of wanderers.In this society where rank and status exist everywhere, the untouchable coachman is not qualified to be in the same room with us, and after I said this to the coachman, Lagertis could not help but look at me in surprise, and I explained with a smile: "I was only seven years old when I first came to El City, and I was chased by the children in the street and shouted: Stray boy, street boy, all this is given to me by my adoptive parents, and it is also the favor of Lady Luck, I don't think the coachman or the cook is any different from the current me, We all have to eat and drink, we all work hard for our own happiness, we all get sick, we grow old until we die, and I think each of us is the same. ”"But we're nobles!"
Becky didn't understand what I was saying and argued with me.I knew that I shouldn't talk too much on this topic, and that every word I said would make me even more of an outlier, so I just smiled and shook my head and said no more.The caravan is a two-wheeled black caravan that is not too big, I sat on the front side with Ying Li, Helena and Becky, and Lagertis sat on the back of the carriage, which made the caravan look very crowded, Ying Li was in a very good mood, even if it rained, it didn't affect her good mood, she kept looking at the scenery outside the window, and sometimes she would purse her lips and show a smile.We didn't take the carriage that Win Li had, and it is said that the carriage drawn by the strange beasts had gone to Sloit the day before yesterday to pick up a guest, and was not in the city, so we rented a caravan early this morning at the boarding station at the city gate and asked them to take us to the temple.Almost all the inhabitants of the city of El go to the temple by horse-drawn carriage, otherwise it is difficult to make a round trip in a day, and if you stay in the temple, the cost is by no means cheaper than a horse-drawn carriage.Of course, we don't care about those two small bucks, and now my Ma's magic grocery store and I are doing very much business, and I have to go there almost every afternoon to make ice.It's very simple for me, we've rented a small yard next to a magical grocery store, and although the rent is a bit expensive, it's worth the price because it serves as a warehouse for storing ice cubes, and we don't need to remodel it too much.The magic skill I cast on the ice wall can fill a room with ice cubes as long as a dozen times in a row, and because I have the rare bloodline talent of light blue ice flame, this talent not only allows me to have a good affinity for water element magic, but also adds a faint layer of ice flame to all my ice magic, and now the effect of these ice flames is not very obvious, but it also has some initial effects, that is, a layer of ice flame is attached to the appearance of my ice wall, if my opponent is angry, and wants to destroy the ice wall or ice shield, It will definitely be stained with the ice flame on the ice wall, which is a feeling that can freeze the bone joints, which can cause a noticeable slowdown effect, but the only drawback is that you must touch the ice flame.Not only does this extremely cold ice flame slow down the ice magic, but it also has an even more special effect that neither Ma nor I could have imagined, that is, these ice flames can keep the ice wall from melting for two days, and as long as the ice flame is still burning on the ice wall, the ice wall will never melt.So my horse and I had a very rudimentary ice store, but the ice was the best of all the ice merchants in El City.In addition, we brought back a large amount of magical copper last week, and of course we couldn't make all of them for free for Yerkes, and I also put some of them on consignment in the magic grocery store, and according to Ma, these red coppers are also very popular.These magical copper and demon's blood have a share of it, and I was going to divide these things into five parts and divide them among the big guys.But Ying Li insisted that the wealth should be divided into two parts, one for me, and she and Helena and Becky shared a share of the goods.Ying Li said that they were originally one, and they didn't help much, and now the entire Xinliu Valley is like my back garden, and the materials in it naturally belong to me.When she said this, I didn't care about it anymore, five bottles of blue fire ink made of demon blood have used more than one bottle in the past week, but the so-called magic catalytic magic scroll has not even touched the shadow of success, which makes me feel discouraged for a while.All in all, I've been a bit more wealthy lately, and I've always had some silver on me in case I needed it.The rain came and went quickly, the coachman uncovered the poncho on the Gubolai horse, carefully wiped the rain-soaked area on the Gubolai horse, and dried it with a dry rag before we continued our journey, along the way to the temple to pray and pray for holy water, but the dirt road in the forest became extremely muddy because of a rain, those mud stained on the soles of the shoes, it was difficult to take a step, the huge wheels left two deep ruts on the road, even if it was two adult Gubolai horses, It was also very difficult to pull the wagon on the dirt road, so I cast a wind ride on the whole carriage, and the pure white moonstone drum with a splendid silk ribbon was tied to it, and it floated in the air and swirled around me, and it looked very interesting, and the coachman looked at me in awe.Soon after, our group finally arrived at the foot of Mount Antia, twenty kilometers north of the city of El.It is said that the Lady Liberty once comprehended the true meaning of the Godhead and ascended to heaven here, and later her followers built a large-scale temple on this mountain, the whole temple is like a belt on the side of Antia, those high temple-type buildings, the entire Antian Mountain is enclosed, the whole temple is made of pure white marble, under the sunlight, the whole temple presents a gorgeous miracle light like Cloudsdale in the sun.It is a place blessed by the goddess, almost every few years there are miracles, in the province of Sloit there are many believers of the goddess of liberty, this temple is also very transcendent in the province of Sloit, many nobles have to go to the temple from time to time to pray for the blessings of the goddess.This temple recruits young girls as priests in the whole province of Sloit almost every year, and there are also some children from poor families who suffer to become monks in the temple, this temple can train nearly 100 priests for the Grimm Empire every year, which can be described as outstanding achievements in the past ten years.Speaking of the profession of priesthood, it is the clergy who have obtained part of the divine power of the goddess, and they walk on earth in place of the goddess of liberty, and the clergy in the temple are divided into types.Ying Li's aunt Angel Boulder is the chief priest of this temple, and the reason why Ying Li was able to accompany me this time is also to visit her aunt.And I couldn't hold back in the end, and asked Yerkis for a leave of absence this week, and rushed to the temple, just to see Sue with my own eyes and leave.We walked up the bluestone steps of the mountain, and there were some devout believers around us, who were prostrating step by step, and there were also people like me who walked directly along the clean and tidy mountain road and slowly entered the temple.When I came to the temple, I didn't go to the temple in front to pray to the Statue of Liberty, I went with Ying Li Bing in two ways, Ying Li took Helena and them to see her aunt, and I inquired all the way, the priest college was built at the back of the whole temple, and those houses had already been integrated with the whole temple, I stood at the door of the priest college and stopped a priest apprentice in a white priest's robe, and prayed for a priest apprentice to bring my news to Su, saying that I came to find her."
Sue?"
The priest's apprentice tried to figure out the name from memory, but was unsuccessful."
I'm sorry, I don't know her, but I'll get the word in!""
She's a priestess apprentice this year, I haven't seen her in two months, she's special, yes, she has some problems with her legs, she needs to be in a wheelchair all day!"
I did not give up lobbying the priestly apprentice, and said with some concern."
Is it a girl who has to be in a wheelchair all day?
Do you confirm her priestly apprenticeship in the Priesthood Academy?
”I nodded sharply, indicating that it was true.There was always a kind of uneasiness in my heart, I didn't expect to come to the door and want to meet Su, it would be so troublesome.The priestess apprentice looked exaggeratedly at my magic robe and said, "Ah, your girlfriend?
You're a magic apprentice, she's a priest's apprentice, and needless to say, the two of you are really a good match!
”I asked, "It doesn't matter if you don't know her, I also heard that she was accepted as a student by Bishop Andua, I would like to ask Bishop Andua if she has been practicing penance lately?"
”The priestess's apprentice beckoned to some of her companions who were walking inside, and told her to wait for a while, and after a while, the two of them exchanged ideas before she said to me again: "I don't know, but Bishop Andua is indeed in the temple, but I probably didn't have a big lesson from him yesterday, but I didn't see any of the priestly apprentices around him, and a girl in a wheelchair was following him." ”I was completely confused, and I didn't know what to do for a while, the priest apprentices here didn't even know Su, which means that Su didn't go to school at the priesthood college, so where did she go?
Since I didn't see Sue, I had to go back the way I came, the heavy rain wiped the sky very clean, the dark clouds on the blue canopy had all dispersed, looking up at the canopy there were only a few clouds, the cool breeze carried the humid air blowing over, making my pores all over my body feel comfortable, but my interest could not be raised in any way, because I didn't see Sue in the priesthood college, and even the students here didn't know Sue very well, what was this really going on?
Walking to the square in front of the temple, the whole square is paved with thousands of pieces of pure white marble, and there is a large statue in the center of Guangcheng.An angel with a pair of white wings on her back fluttering her wings, holding a broken rope in her hand, looking up at the sky, she is the Lady of Liberty to be continued.
