Chapter 237 Night City
The sanctuary is a typical Baroque style, with gorgeous decoration and strong colors.

The young Priestess took office for the first time, with a dull smile on his face, his noble eyes half closed, and the complicated robes trimmed with gold silk that symbolized his status were spotless. sculpture.

He heard footsteps approaching unhurriedly. The boy closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the deep eyes were completely silent, and a vast wasteland was deposited.

The gatekeeper of the temple rang the bell. Today was the coronation ceremony of the priest. Fez Square not far from the tall building was busier than ever.

The crowd was surging, and the chirping sound mixed into a heat wave rushing towards the towering ancient building. After the eighteenth bell ended, the people were silent for a moment, and then there was a tsunami, celebrating the revival of the temple.

"boom……"

The fireworks exploded, and the brilliant colors of magic accompanied by the breath of fireworks flew up into the sky. Even in the daytime, the colorful blessings could not be concealed.

"Welcome to the Priestess!"

"Great, the temple is finally open again, Dawn City will definitely become stronger and stronger, God bless, everything will be better and better!"

"Sam, you stepped on my foot...Damn it, what's the matter with you, still stepping on it? See if I don't give you a good meal!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, eh? I said friend, you are so unkind. You are obviously the one who wants to put your feet on the road I must pass. Even God will think you deserve it, hahahahahaha..."

Laughing and cursing, telling each other joy, people were playing on the green grass outside the temple, watching the ceremony of the priest's appointment. Many people squinted their eyes, trying to remember the demeanor of the new priest under the gradually warming sunlight.

"Your Excellency, there will be a banquet in the afternoon. The president of the Magician's Guild, the heads of noble families in the city, and..." The newly appointed paladin finished reading the long list and looked up at the young priest.

"You can arrange it, I have no objection." The young man's voice was clear and mellow, like a pot of clear wine, he paused, lowered his head and focused his eyes on the scroll, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his slender white fingers rested on the scroll One corner, haven't turned the page for a long time.

The young man stared blankly at the ancient text on the scroll, and when he touched a familiar pattern, his breath stagnated.

Although the paladins had already been selected and well-trained, it was their first day at the temple. The new priest seemed unpredictable.

Tolan gave a standard knight salute, and then took his leave. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the boy buried in his book, closing the door softly and leaving to change the guard with his companions.

"How is it? Did that priest make things difficult for you? I heard that he has a bad temper, and after killing his opponent in the arena, he would destroy the corpse..."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense. Didn't someone clarify it later? The one who died was an evil wizard who killed people like hemp. The high priest was maintaining law and order in the city. Besides, it was just right to burn the body, saving us an extra job."

"Oh, yes."

The astrologer's predictions were not wrong at all. The 16-year-old boy stood out from many opponents. The Priest stood under the exquisite colored window, holding a thick parchment scroll in his hand. The outline of the colored window perfectly uses light and shadow. smile, the religious patterns on it are beautiful under the light.

But none of these can compare to that young man, with the delicate patterns on his back, and his face is neither sad nor happy. Even on such a grand occasion today, his emotions are so light that they are somewhat depressing.

On the way home, Tolan was still thinking, Your Excellency Priestess really doesn't look like a boy, he seems not interested in anything and is immersed in his own world.

He thought of Lord Reynolds in the past, and he rarely showed extra emotions in front of the public. Could it be that all priests must cut off love and love?

----

The moon hangs high in the sky, and there are few stars at night. On the bright side, this banquet is to celebrate the selection of the priests of the temple. In fact, the undercurrent is hidden in the interlaced sound of changing cups, and the false and the real are also confronting each other.

Bourne was sitting in a corner of the dinner party. His indifferent attitude scared away many businessmen who wanted to get close. Some nobles were very troubled by the arrogant temperament of the new priest.

They simply ignored Bourne, only treating him as young and frivolous.

What's more, at his age, it is inevitable that he will have a bit of personality when he is in a high position at a young age. The nobles have all been beaten by mysterious people. If anyone wants to control Bourne as a puppet because of his young age, that person will probably be wiped out.

Thinking of the means of the mysterious man, the nobles present all felt chills.

Really, that girl is too cruel.

I don't know who she is from the young priests, forcing them to make an oath. Before Burne Russell is 20 years old, if he dares to think badly, he will wait for the oath to take effect.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it now. In short, there is only one chance." The girl's hood was half hidden, her smooth jaw line was like the most exquisite artistic sculpture, her red lips curled up in a nasty arc, and she warned: "You know you are right?" Every word the witch swears has a strange effect, and I think no one would want to suffer retribution."

"Before he grows up, please restrain your bad ideas."

The girl disappeared out of thin air. If it wasn't for the remnants of magical energy in the air and a handful of dust in the corner—a protective scroll bought by the nobles with a lot of money, people might think that they were just having some hallucinations.

The Capet family's continuous success depends not only on judging the situation, but also on a humble enough attitude.

"Bourne... my lord, cough cough." Lawrence Capet was still a little uncomfortable, and soon he praised kindly: "I have seen that you have a good talent in magic, but I didn't expect you to be a high priest now. Yes, I still remember that you were only so tall at that time, sitting in the classroom and studying the homework left by the teacher carefully..."

It was not easy for Lawrence to find Bourne. Bourne deliberately used some small tricks to reduce his sense of presence, so that others passing by would not notice that there was still a person pouring himself a drink in the corner.

The young man obviously drank a little too much, there were a few wine bottles scattered in front of him, he propped his head up and looked up at the speaker, his blurred eyes froze when he saw a beautiful face.

Mrs. Capet's lips moved, she wanted to say something, and realized that the current identities of the two of them, and the clear boundaries that had been drawn, had not crossed the threshold after all.

She stood behind Laurence Capet, like the relatives who usually go to dinner here, keeping her own place and keeping silent.

Lawrence Capet didn't notice his wife's abnormality. He took care of Burne Russell in the past, and it was only because of an accidental kindness. He didn't know that his current wife had a mother-child relationship with the high priest in front of him.

If he knew, Lawrence would probably have to consider how to make the best use of this relationship.
