Looking at the curious eyes of his only friend, Krich stopped joking, showed a mature and wise expression that was not commensurate with his age, and whispered: "Akqi, you still haven't Understand.
Go read the ancient books in the temple. Since the gods came to our world, "opened the people's wisdom and herded the believers", in that era, dozens of cities and thousands of villages and towns in the entire archdiocese even had a stationed "divine realm". There's a time when there's no hero.
The ¡®blasphemers¡¯ that the gods encountered this time will not be easy to deal with. An unprecedented big change is about to happen! "
"Big change" His companion's answer made Akzi dumbfounded, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. In a panic, he relaxed his hand, and the bucket pulled by the pulley fell back to the bottom of the well with a 'plop'. An extremely terrifying thought arose, and he stammered and said in a dry voice: "You, you mean the gods will fail?"
"Oh, Akchi, don't make such ominous predictions. If the gods lose the war, our sacrificial families will definitely be destroyed as well.
Not to mention those powerful alien 'blasphemers' who will invade our world and kill them all, even those suppressed traitors. Don't look at them now as cowardly as rats hiding in the ground, without the deterrence of the gods. They will turn into angry mountain leopards and tear us apart. "Krich slapped his friend on the head hard and scolded him in a low voice.
"Then, what do you mean?" Although Akqi received a slap on the forehead, he felt inexplicably much better. asked in confusion.
"Is your head filled with mud?" Krich sighed and lowered his voice and said: "Those alien 'blasphemers' have been fought by the gods with all their strength. If the gods are really like you said, If we fail, we, the descendants of the sacrificial family, will have a hard time escaping with our lives no matter what we do"
"Krich, you, didn't you say not to make such terrible predictions?" Although he really wanted to hear his friend answer his questions, Akzi couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the terrifying predictions made by Krich. Interjected.
"I mean if, if, Akqi," knowing that the companion in front of him was really scared. Krich comforted. Bian opened the dice cup: "The gods we believe in are so powerful, the possibility of failure is very small, but in a fierce battle, many gods will surely fall.
If the great god of morning. Unfortunately, His Majesty Apunasi fell into eternal sleep. Then we, the sacrificial families who serve him, have lost our greatest reliance. It will inevitably fall apart.
But our rich religious knowledge and ability to read and write make us completely different from ordinary people and are very useful. There is a possibility of being recruited by other gods in the future.
At that time, do you think there is a better way out for a young man who has a reputation of working tirelessly and devoutly serving the gods, or for a young man who relies on his family to serve the gods for generations and feels that he will definitely become a noble priest, so he is idle all day long? "
"Ah, Krich, you, you are so cunning," Akchi was stunned for a while, then blurted out and asked: "Then what if His Majesty, the God of Dawn, did not fall?"
"Of course that is the best, my friend," Krich replied with a holy expression: "If the great Lord Apunasi survived the war with the 'blasphemers' from the outside world, then he will definitely The divine power is greatly increased, and there is a chance to annex many followers of the fallen gods.
As a descendant of the priest family who has served His Majesty for generations, I volunteered to clean the shrine every day during his wars, scrubbed the sacred pillars with clean water, and prayed that His Majesty would return victorious. If such deeds were spread, I might directly become the priest of the new parish. It's possible, isn't it? "
"Krich, you are so 'pious'" Aqiqi opened his mouth, feeling that he had nothing to say for a moment, and finally spoke after a few seconds.
"So Aqqi, shouldn't you learn to serve God devoutly like me?" Krich nodded in a soothing voice as if preaching, acknowledging his friend's 'praise', and said: "Don't waste time, drink the water quickly. Bring it up, we have to clean the five sacred pillars before dinner."
After being stunned for a moment, Akzi nodded unconsciously and said: "You are right, Krich, I should learn from you and serve the gods devoutly. This is a good thing that will make a lot of money" He shook the windlass with his hands and feet. He lifted the bucket and poured it into the copper basin on the ground.
After that, the two teenagers worked together to lift the basin filled with water and walked out. When they were about to step out of the wooden door of the courtyard, Akzi suddenly looked at his friend and whispered seriously: "Krich, you know Well, in fact, I have always felt that the luckiest thing is to have you as a friend, others will never be able to treat a reckless fool as sincerely as you."
"Seven years ago, if there hadn't been a reckless fool who ignored everything,Che blocked the hand crossbow of the 'faithless person' in the market for me, and I, a smart person, had long since turned into gopher excrement in the soil. "Krich looked back at Akzi's grateful eyes, and also lowered his voice and said with bright eyes: "From then on, I swear that you will always be my best friend.
The cunning and mercurial Creech and the reckless and brave Akzi will definitely leave their names in history together and become the 'shepherds' known to everyone in the 'Green Fire World'. "
Young and ambitious, young people who have not encountered many setbacks are always high-spirited. It seems that it is a matter of course to achieve amazing achievements in the future. The last words of his friend made Akzi nodded in sympathy and straightened up unconsciously. He lifted his shoulders and scrubbed the sacred pillar, looking as proud as a archdiocesan priest.
However, when the sun completely set and the 'meal bell' rang before evening prayers in the temple, the young man became panicked, threw away the cloth and said: "It's so late by accident, Krich, hurry up, hurry up, Let¡¯s go to the canteen quickly, if we¡¯re late we¡¯ll definitely get slapped with a ban.¡±
"Akqi, if you are wandering in the market, you will definitely get hit by eating late, but now we are late because we are cleaning the sacred pillars. Do you really think that the chief priest Aikhan will slap you on the back for this kind of thing? "Is that so?" Krich saw his friend's panic and asked with a smile without any panic at all.
"Of course not. Oops, I'm really dizzy." Akqi suddenly realized and touched his head. He was about to squat down to pick up a cloth and continue to wipe it in front of his eyes. The thick wooden pillars carved with complex patterns and lifelike mythological pictures suddenly stopped. He was stopped by Krich, "Although you won't be punished, it's always bad to be late for too long. The sacred pillar is almost wiped off. Let's go to the canteen."
"That's great, I just felt so hungry." Akqi touched his belly and nodded, and poured out the dirty water in the copper basin with his friend. The two walked on the flat stone road and crossed from one side to the other. After passing the main hall of the temple, we came to a wooden house covering an area of ??several hundred square meters next to the kitchen.
He carefully pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a table in the center of the wooden room, which could accommodate dozens of people dining together. The rectangular log table lit with a candlestick shaped like a dense tree crown was already full of people. The two teenagers lowered their eyes. , walked quietly to the wooden chair at the back of the middle, and quietly sat down.
At the main seat of the large wooden table, a middle-aged man with a square face, an aquiline nose, who looks energetic and a solemn expression is giving instructions to a sturdy young man on the right who is still wearing half leather armor even before eating. , watching Creech and Akci walk into the wooden house, he kept saying as if he didn't notice: "Anyway, we must pay attention to the security of the town.
The Holy Fire Festival is coming, and the gods are on an expedition. The peace in the parish depends entirely on the religious warriors to maintain it. As their leader, you must be careful. "
"Yes, officiant." The young man wearing leather armor bowed his head and responded.
"Acolyte Amanda, you took over the throne of Apunaxi earlier than I did. I think that in such a special period, I don't need my reminder, and the unruly people caught by the Soames warrior commander will be dealt with fairly." Looking at it. The leader of the parish armed forces looked respectful, and the square-faced middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to the left hand side of an old man with kind eyes and a gentle temperament and said.
"Please rest assured, Master Priest, I will let all the 'lawless people' in the town know that even if the gods from the God Realm go on an expedition to other worlds, the order they created will not be shaken at all." The old man smiled kindly and said in a slow tone. .
"That's good." The square-faced middle-aged man nodded again and turned his attention to his eldest son.
As the chief priest who shepherds believers on behalf of the gods and has full authority over the secular world, even if the parish he presides over is just a small town, he still has a formidable majesty. Under his stern gaze, he is not afraid of anything, even if he meets his father, he is like a river frog. When he met Akqi, who was like a python, his body unconsciously shrank into a ball, and his head almost dropped to the bottom of the wooden table.
"Akchi, for the believers of His Majesty Apunasi, the prayer after dinner is the most important ritual of the day besides the 'dawn prayer', but you actually came to the dining hall after the dinner bell rang. "Seeing the eldest son's cowering look, the square-faced middle-aged man's expression became even uglier unconsciously, and he said in a cold voice: "This is a big mistake, do you know?"
Hearing his father's harsh accusation, the brothers sitting next to Akqi all showed secret expressions of joy. Only Keric secretly pinched his friend's thigh, coughed lightly and explained on his behalf: "Honorable Priest Akhan Brother Akzi was late because he took me to scrub the sacred pillars outside the temple with clean water. He accidentally forgot the time.
We originally planned to clean the shrine again, but because we always want to wipe the shrine spotlessly" Before he could finish his words, he heard the kind-hearted old man sitting next to the square-faced middle-aged man frowning. Said loudly: "KStrange, if you still keep silent, there is no room for you to quibble in front of the officiant. "
And following the old man's roar, a dazzling five-color light suddenly illuminated the dark night sky. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
