Chapter 71 Your preference (5)
The golden carriage drove smoothly to the entrance of the temple.
The temple is huge.
In addition to the six surrounding shrines of the subordinate gods of Creation God and a high tower in the center, there is a seminary on the periphery, and there are guards of the temple outside the seminary. The place where the carriage stops is the guard.
In order to show respect for the gods, within the scope of the inner area, no matter ordinary people with divine powers or bishops who hold the priesthood in the temple, no one can fly freely in the sky, and can only walk steadily on the ground.
Even Xu Jiao and Lilith got out of the carriage and walked in from the direction of the Sun Temple to the place where the guards were staying.
The golden arch is like a triumphal arch, towering high. In the center of the arch is a statue of a brilliant sun, which symbolizes the glory of the never setting sun shining on the earth forever.
No matter who walks under this arch, it is equivalent to receiving a blessing from the sun god. He will stay away from the darkness in his life and return to the light. Even the soul will be blazing after death.
Xu Jiao herself is not interested in these settings, but Lilith is fascinated by what Andrew said, just like when she first entered the carriage, her blue eyes followed the place Andrew pointed and looked around. When it comes time to salute, he will also devoutly perform the etiquette that a sun **** believer should have.
The believers, guards, and even those who were born to live near the temple, and ordinary people who were selected to serve the priests of the temple, all have the same yearning as Lilith on their faces, and even the degree of fanaticism is as bad as ever. and.
Although such a world full of gods was constructed by her, Xu Jiao at this moment really feels out of place among the people, because her expression is cold like a tourist, but fortunately she is a saint. Her identity has been revealed, and people see her as if she automatically brought a layer of divine light, and even her indifferent expression seemed to be noble different from all living beings.
Like a rose blooming alone in the corner.
Xu Jiao followed Andrew all the way in. Whether it was ordinary people or guards on the roadside, they would automatically salute them. Along the way, the guards’ armors were all golden, and even the people who served were more or less wearing them. Such a color, as if it could catch the favor of the sun god.
Passing through the place where the guards were, came to the Sun Academy.
At this time, the school did not have any school uniforms. Although the treatment in the college was very good, and various banquets were held every year, the seminary would not give the students who have not passed the selection in terms of clothing treatment, so I took a look. You can see the civilians and the rich inside.
There are descendants of declining nobles and powerful lords.
Xu Jiao scanned it roughly and saw several people dressed like princesses with exquisite clothes and beautiful fabrics. At the same time, she saw several plainly dressed people chasing behind a young boy, looking for asylum and willing to give to others. Called by slaves.
The magic seems to have not changed anything.
People who clearly have magical affinity come here as if they have been given a second life, but those deep-rooted things in the original world seem to be branded with their birth, even if they come to this place, Nothing has changed.
Lilith suddenly looked behind her
Take a step back heartily.
Xu Jiao heard that not far ahead, one of the girls guarding a princess dress came up proudly. After bowing to Andrew, she looked behind Xu Jiao, and said yin and yang weirdly. :
“Anna, come and see, isn’t this the sister who should help our hard-working mother at home to relieve the housework? How can this poor little beast dare to enter such a sacred place as the Guangming Academy? I think she may have shortcomings and lessons.”
The person she called Anna also came over, and she looked a bit similar to this girl, except that she had short hair and a bow in her hair, making her a bit playful:
“Of course, Grace, I guess she must have lied to an adult in order to get in. You see, she secretly changed her rag, and now she pretends not to know us. That’s not good.”
“We, as her sister, have an obligation to tell her that little mice who are not favored by the sun **** should not come to such a place.”
Xu Jiao felt the people hiding behind her trembling unconsciously.
Because she was clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, she almost clung to her.
It seems…
She is the most timid heroine she has ever seen.
Xu Jiao looked at Grace and Anna in front of her, and heard the pitiful voice behind her: “Ann, Sister Anna, Sister Grace.”
Andrew also glanced at Xu Jiao’s expression. Seeing that her expression was indifferent, she was a little unsure whether she wanted to come forward or not, so he laughed and said, “Children, there may be some misunderstandings in this.”
“Lilith is the girl we chose to serve the saint.”
“Holy woman?” Anna followed his sight and saw Xu Jiao with black hair and black eyes. Just now she wanted to ask Andrew if this was a heresy that was caught and dealt with. However, after listening to Andrew’s words, her eyes showed Completely surprised.
I even forgot to salute.
Grace pulled her a bit, and the two hurriedly gave a meeting ceremony. Grace smiled and said to Xu Jiao: “I’m sorry, we haven’t seen the saint yet. It’s a bit rude, I hope you can forgive me.”
Seeing that Xu Jiao didn’t care about it, she and Anna looked at each other and said, “But, to be honest, my sister is a little clumsy, and even has some small problems that are difficult to correct. If you want, Anna and I may Will do better than her.”
They were very straightforward… and started to recommend themselves.
Even in front of Lilith, he denied her without hesitation.
Xu Jiao looked at them with determination, and saw in their eyes the undisguised longing, which was the longing for power and the master.
Or you can call it ambition.
In front of these two powerful sisters, Lilith is like an inconspicuous weed on the roadside. She is inferior and timid. She seems so insignificant in such an open place where she can enthusiastically show love and self-recommendation with the gods.
Andrew came to the college to teach the children a few lessons before. He liked such a confident little girl very much, and immediately smiled at Xu Jiao and suggested:
“I think, if you like, you can indeed pick a few peers in the academy, let them enter the temple to accompany you, study and live with you, so that you will adapt faster.”
“Of course, this is just a trivial suggestion. All choices are up to you, my honorable saint.”
Xu Jiao’s expression moved, as if he was really moved by his thoughts.
Later, she turned sideways slightly, looked at Lilith behind her, and asked her: “What do you think?”
Lilith didn’t dare to lift her head. The fear of these two sisters went deep into her bones. She was shaking unconsciously. When she heard Xu Jiao’s words, she raised her chin blankly, gave Xu Jiao a quick glance, and swallowed. Spit, then said:
“me……”
Xu Jiao repeated patiently: “Do you think I should let them serve me with you?”
Lilith: “!”
She couldn’t believe that the saint would leave such a decision to herself. In her opinion, Xu Jiao’s words are more like a temptation. Some people say that no matter what **** they are, they like kind and tolerant girls. child.
So Lilith resisted her true thoughts and tried to squeeze a small sentence from her teeth:
“You…If you like it, it doesn’t matter to me or me. Sisters… They are all pretty and know a lot of etiquette. They have learned a lot in the seminary and they will definitely help you a lot.”
Hearing her words, Grace and Anna showed her a smile that was pretty acquainted with you.
Xu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard her say this. It was not that big, but it gave people a feeling that the decision she made was everything, and Lilith’s two sisters began to panic.
after awhile.
Xu Jiao curled her lips slightly, and followed her words and said, “Since your suggestion is so pertinent, maybe I should adopt it?”
Andrew was very eager to answer: “Congratulations, two ladies from the Yate family, you have obtained the qualifications to enter the temple, and there will be someone from the temple to guide you later, please wait here.”
Grace and Anna were overjoyed at the moment, and pulled their skirts to salute him: “Thank you, and may the light of the sun **** shine on you forever, my dear Bishop Andrew.”
…
Xu Jiao and Lilith’s group continued to walk inside.
Since knowing that the two sisters are also going to enter the temple, Lilith’s expression no longer has the same excitement, but has become depressed, like a bird caught from a branch into a cage. Lost the breath of liveliness.
The surrounding scenery could no longer attract her, even her pale blonde hair was dimmed.
Until Andrew first entered the Temple of the Sun to inform the Pope, leaving the two of them to wait outside.
Xu Jiao suddenly asked, “Lilith, are you upset?”
Lilith suddenly heard her care, pursed her lips, and observed her look. It took a long time before Lilith replied softly: “I…”
“Don’t lie to me.” Xu Jiao suddenly reminded.
Lilith could only swallow the phrase “It’s okay” that Lilith said, and changed it to another sentence: “A little bit, I think it’s too long this way. I’m a little tired, but I will soon Rest well!”
She promised Xu Jiao.
Xu Jiao stared at her sea-blue eyes, and said after a long while: “No.”
She pointed out: “You started to be unhappy when I promised your two sisters to serve me, Lilith, isn’t this your suggestion? Why are you unhappy?”
Lilith: “…”
She could not speak, but bowed her head in shame.
It seems that I am ashamed of showing my own despicable emotions so obvious.
Xu Jiao replied for her: “Because they abused them like your stepmother at home-treated you, you don’t like them, and you hate them.”
Lilith was shocked: “My Lord Saint…”
Xu Jiao continued: “In that case, why do you pretend to be very forgiving and live in the same room with them?”
Lilith blinked her eyes as if it was about to rain. After a long time, she replied softly: “God said, jealousy, disgust, hatred, all bad emotions, I…I don’t want Makes you think I am a bad boy.”
“wrong.”
Xu Jiao was much taller than her. At this moment, she leaned down and approached her with a soft fragrance of flowers: “God created angels and liked this race most. He gave them all the good qualities, kindness, justice, and glory, but there are still angels who fall Become a devil.”
“Later, God created mankind. Mankind was a failure with terrible negative qualities, but ultimately became God’s greatest source of faith.”
“Lilith, you are a human being, so you should have emotions. You can like others or not. There is no shame in this, you know?”
Lilith nodded seemingly.
Xu Jiao turned around again. After a while, Lilith’s hand gently pulled the fabric around her waist and asked carefully: “Then… Then I don’t like my sisters, can you? Don’t let them come?”
There was a smile in Xu Jiao’s eyes.
Then she turned her head and replied gently: “No.”
She said: “This is a punishment for your dishonesty.”
