MTL - How To Wear a Goddess Statue-Chapter 4 oath of allegiance
There was a chirping of birds outside the window, Eleuil's eyelashes moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
She seemed to have a dream.
In the dream, the pictures in the growing memory flashed one by one, happy, mourning, and finally ended with the scene when the parents died.
This is not the first time the little princess has had such a dream. On the way of being sent to Cadella City, on the bumpy carriage, she had been awakened by such nightmares several times, and she kept her eyes open until dawn.
However, this time, the dream has changed.
The silver-haired river goddess actually appeared in front of him and said that she would help her return to Acht and ascend to the throne that was taken away by her uncle—
The little princess smiled self-deprecatingly.
Even though she had decided to stop believing in the so-called gods, she was still moved by this ridiculous dream. Could it be that in her subconscious, she was still blindly looking forward to being saved by gods?
How weak and self-deceiving.
Eleuil drove away the messy thoughts in her mind and got ready to stand up.
Don't think about it, even if the gods really exist, they will not have mercy on a "sinner's daughter" who was driven out of Acht.
From today, all unnecessary emotions should be discarded, even if you no longer believe in gods, you must pretend to believe in the goddess of the river in front of the priestess, otherwise she will be in this temple Hard to move...
Eleuil was thinking about the arrangement for the future, calm and methodical, and suddenly, her eyes were fixed.
The dull eyes of the silver-haired goddess.
Blue chalcedony, the symbolic stone of the goddess of the Ilu River.
The little princess picked it up and heard her heart beating suddenly.
"—not a dream?"
"Hopefully the little princess doesn't just take this as a dream."
Lotus floated above the altar and sighed softly.
Last night, after talking to Eleuil, she felt that the surrounding scene was a little unstable, transparent ripples appeared in the air, and the ground began to shake.
Luodus guessed that the dream is about to end, considering that the little princess may still not be able to see herself after she wakes up, in order to prevent the other party from taking this conversation as a false fantasy, she needs to leave a little reminder.
So Luo Tus took off the blue bead hanging on the collarbone and put it in the palm of the little princess.
She has an intuition that this bead can be taken out, because it is not a simple ornament, but more similar to the condensation of some kind of power, it was born to give it to believers.
As soon as the things were sent out, Luo Das was dizzy, and she looked no different. She even maintained an elegant and cold image and said: "The Ilu River will always protect you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was simply ejected from the dream.
When he regained consciousness, Luodus had returned to the sacrificial room where the statue was located.
She wasn't trapped in the statue and couldn't move, but she couldn't leave too far. The free range of movement was probably a circle with the statue as the center and a radius of one meter.
At least it didn't turn back into stone... Luo Das comforted himself like this.
Perhaps this is the consequence of the consumption of power?
While Luodus was silent, the main door of the sacrificial room creaked and was pushed open by the priestess.
This time, Eleuil's petite figure followed the priestess, half a step behind.
From the moment she entered the door, the little princess' eyes were tightly locked on the statue, as if she saw a real miracle.
A blue chalcedony bead was carefully held in her hand, warmed by body temperature for a while, but still cool.
The noble and dignified statue in front of him gradually overlapped with the figure of the **** in the dream.
One is a stone carving, and the other is an ethereal spirit body.
But even if she was high above, she really reached out to her.
Eleuil pursed her lips.
The priestess stepped forward and sang hymns as usual, then she looked at the little princess and said calmly: "I don't know what you figured out yesterday, so you came to me this morning and took the initiative. To swear allegiance to the goddess..."
" But remember, once the oath is over, you are a believer of the goddess. The Katiera Temple will not welcome any believer who turns his back on the goddess - even if you are a princess. Got it ?"
The little princess blinked and said seriously: "Please rest assured, Lord Priest."
Alas, he is also a child with a rough fate. If he can protect him in the future, he will try his best to protect him.
If it was in the King City of Aht, the oath ceremony of the princess would definitely be a festival no less than a festival, but Katiera is a remote town after all, and Eleuil’s own identity is currently a bit embarrassing , had to keep everything simple.
On the altar in front of the statue, three sacrificial candles with gold patterns on the surface were lit. The daily breakfast of the gods was removed and replaced by large aquatic flowers with petals still stained with dew , placed in a silver plate, is a sacrifice to the goddess of the Ilu River.
The priestess stood aside as a witness to the ceremony, her hands solemnly folded in front of her, and she said loudly: "Queen Eleuil, the great goddess of the Ilu River today will Come here and listen to your oath... He is the embodiment of all clear water, and all lies are invisible in front of Him, so, do the oaths you speak follow your heart?"
Eleuil knelt down on one knee and looked up at the statue. She was in a trance for a moment, but she quickly recovered and did not let the priestess notice her strangeness.
"What I say is all from the heart." She said reverently.
The priestess observed her expression secretly, and consciously satisfied, she lowered her head and continued to recite the clichés that must be read in such rituals, unaware of the complexity that flashed across the little princess' eyes.
After reading a long series of prayers, the priestess finally said: "Now, say your oath to the goddess."
Eleuil lowered her head deeply.
"Holy Rhodes, Immortal Rhodes, please listen to my promise—"
"I will always revere you, believe in you, never betray, never blaspheme, until my soul returns to the distant kingdom of gods, if I fail to keep my promise in the future, please let the Ilu River to punish the unforgivable betrayer."
She whispered the last oath: "...I swear to you in the name of Eleuil."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and picked up an aquatic flower placed on the altar.
This kind of flower is called snow tea, usually only white and light blue, it grows in the gentle flow of the Ilu River, and is regarded as the flower of Luodus by the Solancians.
According to convention, the last part of the oath ceremony is to kiss the petals of Xuetu, but for some reason, Eleuil gently swept the flower in his hand at the corner of the skirt of the **** statue, He bowed his head and printed a kiss on the petals.
She raised her eyes, her eyes sparkling.
However, it reflected Eleuil's raised face.
Tender and well-behaved, lovely and pitiful.
A wolf cub is still a wolf no matter how well behaved.
Luodus closed his eyes quietly and felt the strange waves surging inside the spirit body, like the gentle and regular rumbling of the Ilu River when it flows, playing a grand movement in a place where no one else is. Begin.
She knew that the **** from the idol was completely released at this moment.
After taking the oath, the priestess led Eleuil away, and Luodus followed briskly.
"Princess, from today onwards, you will be attending the temple school with other children, do you have any other wishes?"
Eleuil smiled and said, "I believe in your arrangement."
There was also a smile on the stern face of the priestess: "That's good, I'll take you to the front of the school, if you still have questions, any scribes and lower priests in the temple Answers are always available.”
"Um, thanks."
The school is located on the ground floor of a three-story building, not far from the worship room. The priestess sent the little princess here, and then bowed and left. As the head of the temple, she still has a lot of work to do.
Eleuil straightened her clothes and walked into the school with her head held high.
Lotus floated in front of her grandly, relying that everyone could not see her.
The so-called school can only be regarded as a classroom, the area is not large, and the total number of students is less than twenty.
The seating arrangement is very distinctive. Dozens of small tables and chairs are arranged in three concentric circles, leaving a wide gap on the same side for entry and exit. An old scribe who is a teacher sits in the concentric circle In the middle of the circle, shaking his head, he read the contents of a papyrus.
The arrival of Eleuil interrupted their learning process, and the little faces turned around, curious, excited, contemptuous and hostile, with different expressions.
The old scribe coughed: "Cough, you are the Queen Eleuil from Aht, right?"
The little princess politely said: "Yes, teacher."
Speaking, and saluting.
This shocked the old clerk, he quickly stood up: "I can't be this, please don't call it that..."
Although I know in my heart that this princess may have no future at all, she is still a princess! If this was before the death of the late king, the clerk in the remote temple would not even have the qualifications to see her, let alone be called a teacher.
Eleuil shook his head: "It is the teacher who imparts knowledge, I still know this, please don't refuse."
"This, this... alas, that's up to you. You can choose any empty seats here. If there are no other questions, let us continue to study this poem in praise of the first King Solan..."
Eleuil calmly walked to the outermost periphery of the concentric circle, and found a seat where no one was around.
Lotus' eyes moved back and forth among the students.
The Talsa she had seen before was also here, this arrogant girl looked at the old scribe intently, without casting any glances to Eleuil, but more children Bowing his head and exchanging meaningful glances, a restless atmosphere spread in this small room.
The little princess adapts very quickly. In fact, with her talent and the education she received in Wangcheng, the level of the children here is really not good enough.
But Eleuil is very quiet. Unless the old scribe asks her by name, she will never show her ability. Yes, it was the increasingly dissatisfied eyes of several students.
The class will not end until noon.
Seeing that the little princess had nothing to pay attention to, Luo Das looked at the top of her head, she controlled herself to rise abruptly, crossed the ceiling to the second floor of the small building.
Every temple must have a library.
The library of the Katiera Temple is located above the school.
The author has something to say:
2612: I am very irritable in the face of too simple lessons, but I have to pretend to be polite and polite, I really want to go back to the room to dream (?)
Thanks to the little cutie who cast mine!
