Fichet and I were separated and each was taken into the bathing room by the priest in white.
The person who led me into the room was a guy in his thirties. He pointed out the various bathing tools in the room to me one by one and explained the steps for bathing.
"...Your Excellency should know everything!" He said: "Then, I won't waste your time."
I was already confused by the numerous bathing regulations, and I nodded my head and wanted him to get out of here as soon as possible.
"There is another question..." He took a few steps, then turned back and said, "Your Excellency is a civil servant and a military commander... So what should you wear?"
"I..." Yes! What should I wear?
"I think you'd better wear armor." He thought for a while and then said, "This is more in line with your temperament, okay?"
"Okay!" I didn't care what I wore.
"Then I'll prepare it for you." He walked out and soon took a pair of armor and placed it on the stone table next to him.
"Why don't you go out?" I saw that he didn't even have the slightest intention of leaving: "Don't look at me!"
"That's right, Your Excellency the Governor." He moved his body: "I must watch you when you bathe in holy water for the first time in order to guide you correctly."
"It's just a shower, I can do this myself." I was stunned, thinking that this was a temple, and after all, I didn't say anything out loud: "Get out of here!"
"No, your Excellency the Governor! This is my responsibility..." Maybe he saw that my face was not very good, so he was a little bit afraid: "If I go out now, I will be punished..."
"It seems you have to stay in this room with me?"
"Yes……"
I lowered my head and thought about it, why don't I give him a beating? It seemed like this wouldn't solve the problem...
"Come here." I waved to him: "I've thought about it."
After putting on the beautiful silver armor, I started to sit on the chair and look at someone's hurried back. He was tidying up the mess I had made with a grimace on his face, and folded the clothes I had changed and put them in.
cabinet.
"Do you remember what I just taught you?" I asked him: "You can follow it later."
"I understand." He whispered: "But don't look too proud, or you will be seen through..."
"Good job! I can't tell that you are still a careful guy." I patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the method I taught you is very useful. If you are more flexible, I guarantee that you will be very quick.
Just get promoted."
After walking out of the room, I started to look a little unhappy on my face, but I was snickering in my heart. Because in my armor, there were dozens of contraband items in three categories; including one black iron and one magic dagger, magic necklace and
One ring each, and dozens of packets of various medicinal powders of unknown purpose...
"Is Governor Cohen ready?" A high-ranking priest in white clothes was standing outside waiting. While asking me, he looked at the priest who was bathing with me.
"Yes, sir, Governor Cohen is ready." The guy next to me said calmly: "I have been accompanying Governor Cohen and I have not seen anything that violates the regulations."
I tried not to laugh. I used paralysis to put this unfortunate guy in the corner and used it as a clothes hanger. My clothes were still covering his head. It was strange that he could see something! But this guy is very calm and he will definitely have a bright future in the future.
.
"Okay, then Governor Cohen, let's go this way."
People gradually arrived, and there were a total of eleven people from the three empires who were qualified to meet. There were three people from the Tanxi Empire, three people from the Bansai Empire, and the remaining five people were all from our Sbia Empire. Or maybe it was me.
Come on! Why are we all standing together, and the people from the other two empires don’t look very friendly when they look at us... Isn’t it said that the Divine Alliance is as close as a family?
As I walked, I told Fichet my thoughts. The boy wore a well-fitting dress after taking a shower, and his long flowing hair was tied back with a hair tie. Under the background of two blue eyes, a face
It seems to be emitting a faint brilliance...I, I really want to beat him up and paint his face black.
"It's not surprising, even a family will have friction." Fichet looked at me: "Whoever can perform better during the audience will be more important in the future. Even the prince, in the days after he ascends the throne
It will be much better.”
I see, for the sake of our future good life, it seems that I have to find some way to highlight Fichet's advantages. However, this guy doesn't seem to have any advantages... Anyway, he has far fewer advantages than me.
We were arranged to stand next to a small square. The ground of the square was covered with a thick layer of fresh flower petals, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers filled the surroundings. Three priests in red directed their subordinates to draw a magic circle with a gem as the center.
.
They chanted the incantation and used their fingers as pens to draw two circles, one large and one small, on the ground. The circles were placed together, with a distance of no more than two feet. Wherever their fingers drew, they would immediately flash.
A faint white light is emitted to form lines, which gradually become clear and bright.
After drawing the circle, some people began to write runes on the four opposite corners outside the circle, and some people filled in various patterns inside and outside the two circles... It didn't take long for this small magic circle with rhombuses and corners to be completed.
.And all the priests who participated were sweating profusely, as if this had consumed a lot of their energy.
The three priests in red nodded to each other.
"The master of all things in the world, the maker of all orders, the master I serve all my life, His Majesty the God of Light!" The three red-clothed priests each held staffs and chanted in unison: "Please allow your most humble servant to give us your
Use this method to open the road to you, to the sacred place that countless creatures yearn for - the Holy Mountain of Light!"
As they chanted, the staff began to glow red, and the aerosol-like red light condensed into three beams of light that shone on the gem in the center of the magic circle. The gem was instantly reflected bright red.
The runes outside the circle reacted first, projecting a faint white light upward to a distance of three people high, like a shadow reflected in the water, and then each rune emitting dazzling light floated up, above the three people high.
Wandering up and down in the space...
When the two circles inside and outside, as well as all the lines and patterns, all floated up, the ruby in the center of the magic circle seemed to be awakened and began to emit colorful light, eventually forming a faint colorful light curtain that enveloped the entire magic circle.
The magic circle is alive.
Watching this gorgeous magic circle taking shape little by little, I have to admit that the priests are indeed quite powerful. Uncle Wilbur can't make it anyway, at least I haven't seen him do it.
A flash of bright light interrupted my random thoughts... When I looked closely, two shadows had appeared in the array. Because of the light curtain, I couldn't see clearly.
They walked out slowly, with their white and small feet naked, stepping on the flowers covering the ground and walking to the outside of the array. Their eyes scanned everyone and finally stopped on the faces of the three red priests.
The red-robed priests knelt down on one knee and bowed in salute while praising loudly.
After seeing the statues in the Square of the Gods, I knew that the Gods of Light had wings, and I understood their general appearance. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be surprised.
But when these two women from the Light God Clan appeared in front of me, I was still stunned.
They were wearing white robes, the style was so simple that it looked like a piece of cloth was draped casually around the body. It was only fastened on the left shoulder with a silver ornament the size of a brooch, and a thin silver belt was tied around the waist with a knot.
The place hangs down a little.
There is no hairband on her head, only a laurel wreath woven from branches of an unknown plant. Her long golden hair hangs down to her waist. The color of her skin... is a gentle and comfortable white, full of soft beauty.
The light is like a piece of warm jade melted into the skin. The facial features are extremely regular, thin and curved eyebrows, big and bright eyes, slender and straight nose, small and red lips... Although they do not look exactly the same.
, but I always feel that they conform to certain rules, or... patterns?
As far as these two women are concerned, except for the two white wings on their backs, their body shapes are similar to those of humans. It can even be said that any one of my four wives is more beautiful than them.
But the casual look from their brows is the key point. The heart-wrenching peace and the unfathomable depth made me have to focus on them... Damn it! I should have seen their exposed feet.
Or their rounded shoulders, how nice it would be if their lips were a little more pouty, and their breasts...
"Cohen!" Someone was tugging at my clothes. I turned around and saw it was Fichet.
"What are you doing?" I asked him unhappily, and then I realized: "Your Highness?"
"Salute!" Fichet glared at me, and I realized that everyone was kneeling on the ground, and I was the only one standing there stupidly.
"Ah? Salute? Oh... I'm sorry! Right now, right now!" This was not an ordinary scene. I laughed and hoped everyone could forgive me, but almost everyone glared at me.
"Two adults!" the red-clothed officiant whispered: "Two adults, please forgive Governor Cohen for his mistake. He must have been so shocked by your saintly face that he forgot the etiquette."
"Priest in red, you don't have to worry about it." A female protoss on the left turned to look at me: "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you two adults! Don't worry." But the old bastard, the red priest, went on to say: "I will let Governor Cohen stay, and we will educate him until he is in line with etiquette."
Although the guys from the other two empires kept their expressions, I knew they must be very proud, while the four Fichets looked at me with worried faces.
The protoss on the left did not directly answer the red priest, but turned to me and asked: "Governor Cohen, what do you think?"
I smiled apologetically: "If you say I can go, I will go. If you want me to stay, I will stay!"
"I have no right to decide whether you should go or not. We are just here to pick you up." She glanced at me and then at the companions beside her: "Is that so, Venina?"
"There should be eleven people on the list this time." The protoss named Venina said: "Red priest, I suggest you not to do unnecessary things."
"Ah! That's not the case." The red priest shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that Governor Cohen will be rude..."
"Even if Governor Cohen does something wrong, I will tell him personally." Venina said: "This is not what you should care about. You stand down! We have to leave."
"Yes." The red-clothed priests fell on the ground again: "Send two adults."
"Everyone, follow me." Venina turned around and entered the magic circle. The white light flashed and disappeared.
Everyone walked in one after another, and I was dragged at the end. When I walked past the protoss, I smiled at her.
"What should I call you?" I said: "Noble goddess."
"Ive," she said, "go in quickly."
When we stepped out of the magic circle, we were already in a valley in the Holy Mountain of Light.
It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, but the sun is shining brightly in the valley, and the warm sunshine shines on the body and feels very comfortable. The jade platform with the magic circle is surrounded by lush, colorful flowers and plants. I am ashamed that one of them is the most beautiful. I have never seen most of them, and I only found a relatively familiar orchid among them. The climate here allows them to bloom in full bloom, with colorful colors.
Along the jade paved path, we walked through the valley. Among the flowers and flowing water, strange animals ran past from time to time, or they simply stayed on the roadside, enjoying the sunshine while looking at us carefully from head to toe. , some are bowing with their legs in the air, and some are docile and docile while walking leisurely.
"The big garden, the zoo and the hot spring..." I looked around: "Master Yves, this place is really nice!"
"You walk faster." Ivo said behind me: "Don't call me sir."
"Then what should I call you?" I stopped and turned around and said, "Is it..."
Before I could finish speaking, her body disappeared in a flash. When I turned around, I saw her walking in front of me.
"Sir, please don't scare me!" I said, "I'm so timid..."
"Are you timid? Aren't you?" Ive replied: "Don't call me Sir."
"What have you heard? You must not believe it. They are all rumors, and rumors are unbelievable, sir." I looked at her back and carefully looked at the white feathers on her wings, feeling in my heart. Thinking about how to get a few to take home: "Actually, I am the most honest..."
After turning a few more passes, an extremely vast plain appeared in front of us. As far as the eye could see, there was a majestic snow-capped mountain. Various palaces of different styles snaked up the road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The people in front were stunned as they walked out of the trail, marveling and gasping for air.
It was a pain for me that they suddenly stopped, because I was thinking about something! I didn't pay attention! So I bumped into Ive's back! If I was going to die, my fragile nose happened to touch the hardest part of her wings...
"Ah..." screamed, and I squatted on the ground.
Although the force of the collision was not great, the cost of my first contact with the body of the gods was painful. I don't know what happened to Iv, but my whole face was numb and sore, and nosebleeds appeared along with tears.
"Why are you so careless?" Yves turned his head and looked at me, his eyes unnatural. With a wave of his slender fingers, my nosebleeds had stopped, and the uncomfortable feeling had dissipated a lot.
"I...I..." I stood up and shouted to the front: "Whoever was in front was first!"
"It's our country's Prince Letu! What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? My greetings to you... woo! woo woo woo!" Before I could curse, my mouth had been sealed by Yves' magic.
"Nothing, you can go first!" Iver said calmly to the others: "I will take Governor Cohen to wash up."
"Okay, you have to catch up quickly." Venina from the front said.
I followed Yves very faithfully to a small fountain, and used the hand without the ring to clean the blood on my body.
"Wash it!" Ive stretched out a hand and said, "Give it back to me."
"What else, sir?" I said sincerely: "This is the first time we have met! I don't owe you anything, sir... As for you, sir, if you want a meeting gift... I am a poor governor...
I have never taken bribes... I am dedicated to serving the people, and I am honest and upright..."
"Give me back what you took from my wings." Ive said, "Also, don't call me your lord."
"What do you have on your wings?" I was shocked: "Are you sure it's me? It's possible for others to fish in troubled waters!"
"I know, it's you." Ive's expression of neither anger nor laughter made me puzzled: "You bit it with your mouth when you bumped into me, and hid it in your wrist guard when you held your face with your hands. You cursed me to distract me.
Is the focus right?”
"Am I right?"
"What do you want?" I said with a frustrated look on my face: "Cut me into pieces? Or tie me up in a square and burn me into a barbecue?"
"I haven't thought about it." Ivor looked at his slender fingers: "Maybe it would be good if I just made you disappear."
"No way? You are the kind goddess I admire most... Is there any discussion?"
Ive shook her head, but she was listening attentively.
"Let's discuss it...goddess." Seeing that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, how could you let it go without any reason?
"My province is rich in products. How about I build a special temple for you, sir? You can come and take a walk when you are free..."
Yves still shook his head: "I'm not interested in these."
"This...goddess, you are now giving me a hard time." I spoke carefully, with an ambiguous look in my eyes, preparing to sell someone to her: "Do you...do you...want to...it doesn't matter, just leave it to me."
!”
"Cohen, Cohen, your tongue will be pulled out one day." Ive glanced at me and was so scared that I shut up immediately: "Tell me, why did you do this?"
Hearing her say this, I knew I was fine today, who cares about the future!
"That's right! I have four wives..." I said: "I want to give them tiaras. Seeing the tiaras is like seeing you..."
"You have more than four feathers there."
"Oh, it's like this. Although I am young, I only have four wives now." I was a little embarrassed: "But there may be a few more in the future... so I should prepare in advance!"
"You took my feathers just to please your wife?" Yves looked a little angry: "And you reserved them for other unrelated women?"
"No! This is just an excuse." I immediately changed my words: "Actually, I saw that you looked very bored after walking, so that everyone would have an excuse to come out and relax. Look at how sunny it is here..."
Before I finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curled up and she laughed. This smile was like the warm sunshine in the harsh winter.
"So you scared me just now." I patted my chest: "I was scared, I was scared."
"So you don't know that I'm scaring you?" Ive said, put his feet into the spring water, and handed me a small box: "You cunning guy, have you thought about it a long time ago?"
"Put the feathers in!" She padded her feet in the water: "Don't let them fall out."
Watching me put the feathers into the box, she then taught me a spell, and the box disappeared in a flash in my hand.
"Just read it again when necessary." Ive said, "Don't put anything else in it...Forget it, it's useless to tell you this."
Because before her warning could be uttered, I recited the incantation again to summon the box, and already put the dagger, necklace, etc. inside.
"My respected goddess Yves." I sat down next to her: "Why are you so kind to me?"
"Am I good to you? I don't think so." Yves turned to look at me: "First, I can't put the feather back on it anymore. Second, I can't do anything to you. Third, I really mean
It’s very boring.”
"Why are you bored?" I said, "You are God, God!"
"Gods can be bored too, and I'm not a priest, I'm just a little maid."
"Little maid?" I was really surprised this time: "The little maid who scared the three red priests so much that they didn't dare to move?"
"Isn't it possible?" Ive said: "The three old men are so annoying. They are very verbose every time they come. No matter who the other party is, they will kneel down. Just listen to his last sentence and you will know what he will say next!"
I couldn't help laughing and told her about the hug, which made her laugh so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.
"Okay, we should leave, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with them." After a while, she stood up and said, "I have to tell you, don't be rude when meeting other gods, otherwise you will be miserable."
"Like...who?"
"I don't know who else will be responsible for receiving you this time." Ive said to me: "But you will definitely meet Charlotte and the God of War Dawid."
"Why do you know that it must be these two gods who receive us?" We are already familiar with each other, so I no longer use "you" to address Ive.
"Because I am Charlotte's maid, and the God of War Dawid will seal you."
"Really? Charlotte sounds like a female name!" I said.
"You should call her Princess Charlotte Knach of the God of Light! Because she is the youngest daughter of His Majesty Pamizzi Knach, King of the God of Light." Ivor looked at me with a half-smile: "
She will meet you three times, so you should figure out how to express yourself!" (To be continued)
