The Modern Age of the Mysterious

The boots made a pleasant rustling sound on the lush grass. The night dew wetted the legs of her trousers, but Aaliyah didn't care. She just walked in the cool forest, with Catherine following behind her.

There are many broken and fallen trees in the Evernight Forest, but these have been covered by moss and new vegetation, and little sparks are threading their way through this quiet forest. The nightingale's chirping could be heard in the distance, and the little creature looked at the two visitors curiously with its bright eyes.

Aaliyah stopped and took a deep breath of air scented with vegetation. Sean had brought her here before. It was quiet and safe. She liked it here and wrote more than one poem about it.

Some fire appeared in the woods, and it was the daughters. They approached under the light of the torch and greeted Catherine and Arya from a distance. The blade is a black cloak, while the fire is dark red. Blade and Fenghuo suffered heavy casualties in the last demigod battle, and will reappear as the forest recovers. Scars will breed stronger power. After the devastating blow to the Evernight Forest, a new kind of daughter appeared in this Kingdom of God - "Grass Basket". Her green cloak symbolizes the healing of Ms. Hershey. The power of Eternal Night Forest was precisely because she often carried straw baskets to spread seeds and dew, which allowed the Evernight Forest to regain its vitality so quickly.

Aaliyah and Catherine walked to the edge of a large lake. It turns out that there is no such lake in the Evernight Forest. This is also one of the geographical changes that occurred in the last battle. Fortunately, the Kingdom of God introduced the river, making it a new land of vitality and a group of daughters. While I was washing my hands by the lake in the distance, there was faint chatter and laughter.

Standing quietly by the lake, Aaliyah looked at the quiet lake. She turned back and said, "Catherine, how did Sean know you?"

"Didn't he tell you?"

"I said it." Aaliyah seemed to be in better condition, her expression softened, "But I always feel like he didn't tell the whole story..."

"What did he say?"

"He said that he met you on the night of the New Testament. At that time, he was deceived into a dangerous spiritual world, and it was you who brought him out."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, he just won't tell the details."

Catherine smiled: "At that time, he refused to believe me in the spirit world. He was fooled by the resentful spirit behind him and almost lost his soul. After he came out, I scolded him like crazy!"

"Hahaha..." Aaliyah smiled, knowing that Sean had hidden the key to the story.

"His face was white at the time, and he was obviously very frightened. I thought at the time..." Catherine chuckled, "This guy may not live long in the New Testament.

"Who knew that we would be chatting in the Kingdom of God he built today?"

There is Sean's atmosphere here, and there is Olivia's atmosphere here, which makes people miss and feel at ease. Aaliyah seemed to think of something again, and her face became gloomier again.

"Let's go to the mansion and have a look." Catherine pulled Aaliyah and left.

In the last battle, the black mansion completely collapsed. Only black bricks scattered among the grass and trees could be seen, and the walls barely outlined in the shape of a frame... After seeing the collapsed mansion, you can clearly feel the six demigods. the power of. They destroyed the place quite thoroughly.

The mansion can also recover itself, but compared to the forest, the mansion's recovery is not as fast. The black bricks are still trying to grow, trying to rebuild the structure of the first floor. Depending on the progress, it may take a long time for the mansion to return to its original appearance.

"Have you been there?" Catherine pointed to the basement entrance of the mansion. The scattered bricks on the entrance have been cleared away, and a sloping double cellar door can be seen. Aaliyah shook her head. So, Catherine led her into the basement.

Although the upper part of the mansion had been completely destroyed, the basement was intact. They walked in the stone corridor, passed several tribute temples, and walked directly into the central axis temple...

As soon as she entered the original Night Wind Temple, Aaliyah was so surprised that she stopped in her tracks. Compared with the somewhat decadent situation outside the door, this place seemed like a secret place that had never been disturbed. Thousands of candles were burning in the temple, like a sea of ​​light. These not-hot rays of light illuminate Aaliyah's delicate face, and her eyes are swaying with light...

"these are?"

"These are the 'candles of faith' of the Night Wind believers." Catherine suddenly realized that Sean had said the same thing when he brought her here. "Each lit candle represents the belief in the Night Wind. Deep faith in Ms. Hershey.”

Such a piece of candlelight is like a clear starry sky on a summer night, with endless stars. Although Ms. Hershey suffered severe injuries, and although Sean and Olivia were exiled to outer space with their lives uncertain, people's faith still exists, quietly and firmly...

Aaliyah and Catherine walked slowly and silently in this sea of ​​light. They looked up and saw the mysterious and holy statue of Lady Hershey in the center of the temple. The candlelight was reflected on this detailed black stone carving.

Those little warmth gathered together, as if following some kind of will, silently healing the two people who came here. Unknowingly, tears shone in Aaliyah's eyes. She has the soul of a poet, and she can easily pass through those candlelights and see those innocent and determined people, who are all working hard to live their lives.

Each of them has hidden pain and unknown fear in their hearts. Each of them knows that the goddess was injured and the leader is missing. Now is the "dark age" of Night Breeze, but no one's faith is extinguished. A more diligent and pious attitude to encourage each other and move forward bravely...

When the goddess and the religious capital are gone, ordinary people still support this belief.

"Sean and Olivia will definitely come back." Aaliyah looked at Catherine, tears streaked across her face, and the tears reflected the candlelight, "I wasn't sure before, but now I know - they will definitely Will be back."

Catherine nodded: "Yes."

"So, before Sean comes back, we must take good care of them..." She turned around and looked at the lovely burning candles. "The goddess once favored them and watched over them in the dark night. Now they are determined to wait for God's return.

"We must not let them down."

When Aaliyah made a sincere wish, the Kingdom of God responded to her will. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com A silhouette clad in black robes appeared in front of them. He had a gray head and calm and deep eyes...

Mr. Shawshank Rogers reappears in the Central Temple.

Aaliyah knew that he was Sean's clone in Night Breeze's faith, and walked over with some surprise. In an instant, the wisdom and memory of Night Breeze's faith emerged in the minds of Catherine and Aaliyah. The poet looked at the actress—if it was playing, it had to be her.

Catherine stared at Shawshank, trying to pour her thoughts into it...

Mr. Rogers, who had been missing for many days, finally moved. He looked down at his hands, and then walked firmly in the temple.

Catherine played Shawshank Rogers through her mind, gently sweeping the sea of ​​candles with her right hand. In an instant, more than three thousand believers saw Mr. Rogers' resolute face in their small night shrine.

"Followers of Ms. Hershey, you have shown extraordinary courage and perseverance in my absence. I salute you.

"As you can see, Night Breeze Faith has suffered a severe blow from the outside, but everything has passed and we have survived.

“Today, the lady is still safe and sound, still watching over us in the depths of the night.

"There is no need to be afraid or hesitant. I will lead everyone and continue to let the night wind stir in the world."

In the underground temple, more than three thousand flame candles burned violently almost at the same time, and the immortal silver flames bloomed with a light that could not be seen directly for a while. This island of light pushed back the surrounding darkness in a large circle...

"They will come back, for sure." In this light that seemed like daylight, Catherine whispered.
