How To Wear a Goddess Statue

Chapter 58: before the bar mitzvah

    The short stop in Tennier City was just an episode in the caravan itinerary.

      , as well as a trip to find a possible boost.

    The former is the main, the latter is the second.

    In other words, the process of attracting supporters for your own future is also a kind of tempering.

    Until early November of this year, the caravan had finished most of the journey and stopped at a city in the middle of Solan that believed in the river goddess. They will stay here for a while, because the princess The eighteenth birthday is approaching.

    She needs a bar mitzvah at the Temple of the River Goddess.

    For this upcoming important ceremony, many of the comrades have no real feeling.

    The boss who is decisive and considerate in daily affairs, even if he looks young and young, who will really treat her as a girl who is not yet adult? This fact has been subconsciously ignored for a long time.

     

    And strangely—

    "It seems that the woman in charge of the ceremony is Lorgar."

    "You mean the one who has always been inseparable with Her Royal Highness?"

    "That's impossible, isn't it wrong for a female official to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony, shouldn't it be the priest of the temple here?"

    Several caravan members had nothing to do, sitting and chatting outside a freight store that cooperated with the caravan.

    As members of the escorted caravan, they know a lot about the princess, and they also know that there is a blue-eyed female officer beside her Highness, but even the coming-of-age ceremony can be performed by the female officer To host, which inevitably makes people puzzled.

    "Her Royal Highness is not a nonsense person. I want to say that the female official Lorca may have a special identity, otherwise an ordinary female official will stand in front of the statue to preside over the ceremony, who knows if it will cause Luo Erjia The displeasure of Goddess Tus."

    One of the caravan members had an idea.

    "I think so too." Someone echoed, "Have you ever seen that female officer take the initiative to talk to someone other than the princess? No! Look at her attitude towards the princess, so naturally, I don't believe it. This is what a female official should do."

    "I understand!" The third person suddenly realized.

    "What do you find, let's hear it."

    The third person's tone was mysterious and plausible: "The female official Lorca should have been left to His Highness by the previous king, otherwise how could His Highness trust her so much? I guess, the identity of the female official is just a disguise, maybe someone else In fact, he is a priest of Akht, or he is a court lady, or a relative of the first queen, or he is not qualified to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony of His Highness, is he?"

    Several others agreed and nodded.

    But at this moment, a deliberate low cough suddenly came from behind them. When they heard this voice, they turned their heads in a hurry and saw the deputy commander of the army, Lena, who was wearing strong suits.

    Lena is not a personal soldier but a personal soldier, and usually follows Her Royal Highness around the princess. Sure enough, they saw the princess herself.

    "Your boss let you in to move the goods."

    Lerna folded her arms and showed a mocking smile.

    The princess looked at a few people across the valiant female military attache, her long eyebrows raised slightly, and her expression did not show happiness or anger.

    Beside her, the "female official" who was the center of the topic just now looked indifferent and did not cast her eyes here.

    Caravan members, look at me, I look at you, and immediately did not dare to arrange the princess's private affairs.

    Lerna shrugged, she actually felt the same way about what these guys were whispering together.

    Lerna knows more than these people. For example, the female official named Lorca was not a female official at all, but a temple scribe.

    With the princess entering the frontier army, her identity became the cavalry of the Guards.

    When she went out, she transformed herself into a female official.

    Whether it is the royal guard or Lena, they are very loyal to the princess. They will never talk about these things that outsiders don't understand.

    In spite of this, it was inevitable to secretly think about it, guessing the origin of this young woman who was deeply trusted by the princess.

    If it's just the scribe that the princess met at the Katiera Temple, this kind of love and trust that makes others feel frightened is too much.

    Therefore, Lena also felt that Lorgar should be someone familiar to the princess in the palace. Maybe the previous king had a hunch and arranged it in advance, or maybe Lorjia was loyal and did not change, so she followed all the way. Cadella…

    Anyway, Lorgar must be a close existence close to her family for His Royal Highness.

    Eleuil: "Lena."

    Lena gave a shock: "Yes!"

     "Everything that needs to be discussed is over. You watch the delivery of goods. Let's walk around the city and go back before evening."

     "Okay, please rest assured, Your Highness."

    Lerna watched the two figures leave side by side, and suddenly froze for some reason.

    She also watched the princess grow from childishness to what she is now, and she was used to seeing the backs of the two close to each other. No matter how she looked before, it seemed like an elder with a little girl, an older sister with a younger sister , is still the same intimate, but somehow less that kind of natural warmth.

    "Isn't there going to be a conflict? It's not like that."

    Lerna tapped her chin, bewildered, and in the end she had to blame her eyes being wrong, it was a strange feeling.

    In this sub-city where the goddess of the Ilu River is the main belief, the signs of snow tea flowers and blue herons can be seen everywhere, prayer boards hanging at the entrance of shops, blue heron sculptures at the intersection, people coming and going Amulet worn on...

    Some are delicate and lifelike, some are rough and only shape can be seen, but they are all equally vivid.

    Outside the public garden not far away, a child lost his amulet and cried anxiously.

    The adults are so anxious and distressed about the lost amulet. For most people, the amulet is the most valuable jewelry on the body.

    Luo Das passed by and moved his fingertips lightly.

    The amulet left in the crack of a floor tile suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared again by the pool at the entrance of the garden.

    The lord raised his head inadvertently and was stunned: "Look at that, is it your amulet?"

    The child hurried forward to look at it and laughed: "It's mine, it's mine! Look, Mom, I've bitten this horn before!"

    The lord just breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to Goddess Luodus for blessing—" Then when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly became angry, "You won't let me worry, even the amulet. Dare to bite, this is disrespectful to the goddess, do you know?"

    Luodus closed his eyes and walked by calmly, the mother and son would not know that the loss and recovery of the amulet was related to a passing deity.

    Sometimes, Luodus will use his supernatural powers to participate in such little things.

    It can be regarded as a random response to the wishes of the believers, or it can be regarded as some kind of experiment, but she is not eager to know the answer.

    About whether divine power can be used and under what circumstances, other gods have already concluded it. She is now groping by the way, and when she goes to the kingdom of God to participate in the banquet of the gods, she can naturally be verified.

    "You seem to enjoy helping out."

    Eleuil sighed aside.

    Luodus smiled: "After all, he is my believer."

    When they said this, they happened to pass a small shop selling local weaving products. Eleuil stopped here and glanced at a snow tea pattern embroidered with silver thread. on the hair band.

    Eleuil picked it up, looked at it carefully, and paid the shop owner.

    Then turned and placed it on Luotus.

    The princess said with her mouth: "Today's sacrifice."

    Luo Das just picked up a waist ornament to take a closer look. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing. He shook the waist ornament and responded with a slow mouth: "So, today's gift from God?"

    "I take it bluntly."

    The princess said aloud, but her movements were very gentle.

    The shop owner looked left and right blankly, but he didn't understand what the two young ladies who looked like aristocrats or wealthy businessmen were playing a riddle.

    But it doesn't matter, just get the money.

    The boss smiled and added two transactions to the ledger.

    This roaming stops near the back city gate.

      The road of the most despised class except slaves.

    Almost every city has such a neglected corner.

    During her travels, Eleuil always consciously and comprehensively allowed herself to see as much as possible.

    Of course, she had also explored this kind of place before, and she did not let Luodus go with her.

    Luo Tus actually wanted to know her views on the poor and slaves, but the princess never mentioned it, and Luo Tu Si did not ask.

    This is not an easy question to answer.

    When I returned to my temporary residence in this city, I just stepped on the evening, just in time for dinner.

    Lotus returned to the room after dinner, took off his robe, and looked down at the headband that Eleuil bought.

    At that time, for convenience, I tied it directly on my wrist, but now I can try it.

    Facing the bronze mirror standing on the table, Luo Das pulled her long hair, tied it tightly with a hairband, looked at the figure in the mirror, thought about it for a moment, then closed upper eye.

    The shape and shadow in the mirror gradually changed, the black hair turned silver, and the face changed in subtle ways. When he opened his eyes again, it was the original appearance of Luodus.

    "It is true that silver hair is more suitable."

    Luodus whispered to himself, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly after a while.

    Whether it is a sacrifice or a gift from God, in essence, it is a small gift given every day.

    When I see a gadget that I am interested in, my first reaction is to pick the right one and send it out, and at the same time I am also the object of the other party's gift. , is something that is hard to imagine.

    Speaking of gifts…

    My thoughts naturally jump to the coming-of-age ceremony a few days later, and the congratulations that are already in preparation.

    I originally wanted to ask a messenger to help bring it. For the sake of safety, it might be more appropriate to separate my incarnation to get it myself.

    Then here comes the problem.

    —How is the incarnation divided?

    The author has something to say:

    Hey, it's really hot today, walking outside is like being roasted by fire, entering the bedroom is like entering a steamer.

     

    Whenever this happens, I feel that it is good to be non-human.

     

    But no, I can only pack up the mat tomorrow qvq
