The Great Temple of Light is a magnificent building.
Looking around, there are tall, snow-white boulder buildings everywhere inside and outside the temple. In the center of the temple gate courtyard, there is actually a huge, magnificent and lifelike building, probably tens or hundreds of meters tall. The tall statue of the goddess of light, Lucillis!
At a glance, its luxury and magnificence directly compares to the royal palace and castle in the Kingdom of Karsus.
However, if you think about it carefully, this is actually inevitable.
After all, the 'Cult of Light', or 'Lucilis Cult', is one of the few, or even the only large-scale church on the continent of Elusalia, and the Goddess of Light Lucili Sri Lanka is a well-known existence on this continent, and it can even display divine power, respond to believers, display magical arts, perform miracles, etc. Therefore, it can have many believers and can build such a large temple here. A temple is a matter of course.
Today, Annie was walking around and naturally came here. This is Esdru, a place known as a holy place, which is also the location of the Great Temple of Light.
Anne has heard of this place. It is said that the idiots Alvin, Hain and Liana who were rescued by her outside that small village came here immediately and tried to seek asylum. .
As for the result...
Of course, the Imperial Army openly attacked this holy place without mercy, and forcibly drove Alvin and the three of them out of here.
Then, a series of things happened, in which the three of them ran to Karsus, Karsus was almost destroyed, and they were almost burned to death when they went to visit the great magician who used the art of reincarnation.
Of course, those things all happened in the past and have long since become unimportant. What matters now is that Anne is here.
"..."
╭(⊙o⊙)╮
Anne saw at a glance that there were many fresh traces of attacks on the huge decorative pillars and corridors outside the temple gate. Some were caused by magic, and some were left after slashing with swords, and they still remain to this day. No repairs were made.
Obviously, the battle that took place here was definitely not as easy as Alvin and Hain said. Otherwise, it would definitely not have left so many traces, and there seemed to be a faint trace of blood on the ground. Taste it.
At the same time, Anne also saw that there were still many Templars, priests and monks patrolling and on duty inside and outside the gate, and there were many elite Holy Pegasus cavalry occasionally flying by in the sky.
It is obvious that after this great temple was raided and intimidated by Imperial Army soldiers, the senior officials of Lucilis Cult in the temple must have immediately mobilized the power of the church and urgently raised the security here. and defense level, and also dispatched a large number of high-end church armed forces.
That was the real reason why Anne could see so many monk soldiers, cavalry and Pegasus troops entrenched around this temple.
However, Annie just looked at and guessed those things casually, and she would definitely not take them to heart.
Besides, she just wandered here to have fun, and out of curiosity, she followed the devout believers to take a look at the excitement, whether the defense here has been upgraded, or how many powerful Templar defenses there are. , then it has nothing to do with her.
"ha!"
ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
Because the monks and Templars standing guard on both sides of the gate had no intention of blocking or questioning the believers, Anne passed directly unimpeded and skipped to the courtyard inside the gate, where she was able to see the huge " Goddess of Light' statue.
"Wow……"
(°ー°〃)
Anne looked up at the statue and subconsciously let out a soft breath.
It was a beautiful big sister carved from white stone. Her exposed skirt exposed a huge long leg up to the root of her leg. However, the other party was wearing safety pants, so it was not I'm worried that those fat people will be seen by those devout believers who first want to worship and raise their heads to pray after coming in.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"It's really big!"
(⊙o⊙)
"but……"
(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)
"Isn't it just a broken stone statue? It doesn't seem to be anything special."
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
Anne ignored the chattering believers and the priests who were preaching around her. She just looked up for a while, then curled her lips and made some comments, then planned to turn into the temple and go shopping. Places I haven’t been to.
Anyway, she herself seems to have many, many similar statues in countless worlds, but she never pays attention to the boring prayers of those boring believers. Compared with those boring appeals, she also Might as well listen to the murmurings of her little bear.
(…)
(¬㉨¬.)
"Let's go Tibbers..."
~o(▽`o)=3 =3 =3
"!!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
However, before Anne left, maybe she saw that she was the only one who did not pray to the statue, or maybe she heard the disrespectful words she just said to the goddess?
Anyway!
At this time, an old man wearing a white priest's robe suddenly appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Anne just right.
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Bald old grandpa, you are blocking my way, can you let me go?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"You almost stepped on someone just now!"
(。◕ˇεˇ◕。)
Anne first looked up at the smiling old man standing in front of her, then blinked. Then, of course, she asked him to give way without being polite at all and complained.
This place is so big, and the bad old man in front of her couldn't stand anywhere, but he just stood in front of her and refused to give way. He was obviously looking for trouble.
Therefore, Annie's tone of voice when speaking was not polite at all, she directly inserted her waist and glared at the other party angrily.
"oh?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Although he said that, the bad old man had no intention of getting out of the way, and kept grinning. Obviously, the other party did it on purpose.
"??"
(ー`´ー)
"The bald old man, can you let me go now?"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"I want to go in and see if there's anything interesting inside!"
♪٩(´ᵕ`๑)۶⁾⁾
With that said, Annie, who didn't want to talk to the other party, planned to walk forward and go around the other party.
"sure."
"but……"
"There is a temple inside. It is an extremely sacred place, but there is nothing fun about it."
Shaking his head and saying that, the bad old man just took a step back, but stood in front of Annie, and still had no intention of getting out of the way.
"how do you know?"
(•́へ•́╬)
Annie said that whether it was fun or not, she would only know after she went in, and she didn't need the other party to come here to meddle in her business.
"hehe."
"I am the bishop here, of course I know."
The old man said with a smile, not paying attention to Annie's impatient and angry expression at all.
"correct!"
"Little girl, I just heard that you seemed to have said something to the statue that shouldn't have been said, right?"
"Can you tell me about it?"
"you……"
"Why do you think that way?"
At this time, the old man leaned down, showed a twisted and dry smile, and asked tentatively.
"ah?"
+
"this one?!"
(⊙o⊙*)
Anne was startled for a moment, and then she quickly came back to her senses.
She didn't expect that the other party would come specifically to find trouble with her because of that kind of thing. She thought it was because of something else!
"Bald old man, are you too narrow-minded?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
"They were just talking casually."
(ʘ̆ωʘ̥̆‖)՞
"Besides, it's just a statue to begin with. There's nothing special about it. Shouldn't people tell people about it?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Then, Anne, who was outspoken and without any scruples, of course directly expressed all her inner opinions and thoughts.
And as for whether she offended the gods or something, what does that have to do with her? Anyway, she wasn't familiar with that goddess of light, so what would happen if she said a few words to her?
"Well……"
"That's true."
Although he said that, judging from the suppressed expression of the bad old man in front of him, he definitely didn't think so in his heart, and he definitely didn't agree with Anne's point of view.
"But……"
"Here, it is not just a statue of a god. At the same time, it also represents the great and omnipotent goddess Lucilis herself."
"Those words you just said..."
"If the goddess hears it, she will be angry."
"Do you think that's okay?"
But there was no other way. If he disagreed or disagreed, the old man could only try his best to guide in a persuasive manner in a tone that children could understand, understand and accept.
"Just be angry if you're angry!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
"What can it do to others?"
୧(‾◡◝)୨ꔛ♩
Anne pouted her lips indifferently and made a funny move.
"you!!"
At this time, the old bishop couldn't help but feel a little angry, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
He did not expect that the little girl in front of him would be so naughty, and that she would speak such treacherous words in front of him, the archbishop, in this extremely sacred place.
However, Qi Guiqi, he had no good solution.
After all, the other party was just an ignorant little girl, and he couldn't just let the Templars subdue her and throw her out like he did with the heretics who came to cause trouble.
"OK!"
ε=(´ο`*)))Alas
Seeing that the other party looked pitiful, and the other party was also the bishop here, with a bald head, and looked very pitiful, so Anne did not plan to say more, lest she really made the other party angry.
"It's okay if people don't talk about it, right?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
So, she had no choice but to change the topic and reluctantly said something soft.
"..."
The old man's face looked a little better.
Of course, just a little bit, because he could see that Anne's expression still looked disapproving, so he was not very satisfied with this attitude.
"Really!"
(′~`●)
"It's just a stone statue, and it can't speak. So what happens to it? Can it jump out and bite people?"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
However, before the bald bishop could figure out how to rebuke or guide, Anne began to talk to herself carelessly again, and glared at the huge statue angrily.
"you!!"
At this moment, the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. At the same time, his hands began to tremble slightly, and it seemed that he almost died with a roll of his eyes.
At this time!
"Huh?!"
!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
Anne suddenly exclaimed, then turned her head very quickly and looked at the statue.
"No way?"
(lll¬▽¬)
"Were you really heard?"
₍₍٩(__*)₎₎
In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, the statue still has not changed at all.
However, Annie was not an ordinary person. Although the other party's behavior was very secretive, she still discovered: At this time, there was a layer of faint white light surrounding the huge statue. At the same time, she also discovered that the statue Those slightly shining eyes seemed to be watching her secretly, intentionally or unintentionally?
"What are you looking at?"
|ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎ
"Are you really stingy enough to jump out and bite someone?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)!
"Let me tell you, people are not afraid of you!"
Q(`⌒´Q)
Anne immediately responded to the statue that was peeping at her.
Of course, Anne did not say the above words directly in front of the old man. She just reflected them back to the statue of the god who was peeping and watching her in the form of thoughts.
To others, she just looked back at the statue with some curiosity, without making any extraordinary movements or words.
'...'
Soon, I don't know if Anne's words had any effect. The white light covering the statue quickly dimmed and disappeared completely.
"you!"
"where is your family?"
It was only then that the bad old man in front of him, the bishop, seemed to have regained his composure.
He didn't notice anything unusual about the statue from beginning to end, he just looked around angrily.
"Where are they?"
"I want to talk to them!"
Since he couldn't reason with the little girl, the bishop of course planned to go to the other party's parents.
Then……
He might add insult to injury and accuse the little girl in front of him of being disrespectful to the goddess just now. Then, it would be best to signal the other person's parents to give him good guidance or teach him a lesson when he goes back, for example, spank the other person's butt hard so that he can let the other person know it. Does the other party have a deep memory?
Perhaps, only then can we guide the lost lamb in front of us to the right path?
"family?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"But they won't tell you where it is!"
(。•̀ꌂ-)✧
Anne knew what the other person meant and made a big face for him
Moreover, she would not say that her family, her father, the mysterious warlock Gregory Hastur, and the shadow witch Amorin's mother were living happily in the voodoo land, and they would not care about her. What's going on!
Furthermore, the voodoo land is far away from here, and the other party's boring idea of filing a complaint will definitely never be realized.
"goodbye!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
"Aha!"
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
After saying that, and making a big face for the other party again, without waiting for the other party to respond, Annie quickly accelerated past the other party, followed the crowd and jumped into the temple.
"you you you……"
Behind him, the bald old man wearing a white bishop's robe was so angry that his outstretched fingers became stiff, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
