In the place closest to heaven - the holy mountain Wilankono, the top of the world and the top of faith in the hearts of millions of believers.
At the foot of the mountain lies the Holy City of Light, Josa, the imperial capital of the Holy Noah Empire, one of the two most powerful human empires.
From the top of the Holy Mountain, you can overlook the entire Holy City. The Holy City of Josah and his loyal subjects surround the Holy Mountain like a gorgeous and indestructible crown on the majestic forehead of Wilancono.
In that vast urban area, those devout believers live; in the dense streets and lanes, red-spire churches and glazed-tiled towers are intertwined...
Even on the top of the holy mountain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, Liya could still hear the ringing bells in these towers from time to time on the hour: the heavy but comforting echo of the "clang clang"...
Such an echo full of faith will stir up the pious heart of every believer.
"Josa under the radiance is really the most beautiful scenery in the world?" Liya couldn't help but sigh, even though she had been in this holy mountain for more than ten years.
But whenever she looked down at this glorious city at this sacred moment, she couldn't help but praise it in her somewhat meager words.
She, Liya Dolanlina, as a glorious temple priest, can spend her whole life in this holy realm and dedicate her faith to the goddess of light.
This is the highest honor her family has received in many years, and it is also the honor she is most proud of in her life as a believer in light.
Being able to serve the great God of Light in the realm closest to God is an honor that many believers dream of!
The radiance of the moon shone on the flawless white holy mountain, covering it with silvery light. In the tall bell tower made of precious stones on the top of the holy mountain, the largest brass bell rang the twelfth bell.
"It's midnight?"
Liya put down the porcelain kettle in her hand and was watering the delicate but lucky flowers and plants in front of the temple.
The gentle evening breeze blew her white skirt and floated with these beautiful flowers.
The most beautiful white rose still has a little water droplets on it, and it is also decorated with silver glow under the bright moonlight, so it has a dreamlike beauty.
Liya stared at that incredible rose flower, as if she couldn't help but be fascinated. The crystal water drops dripped on its white and delicate petals, making it more and more attractive and beautiful.
"Um?"
A hand as beautiful as the white rose gracefully stretched out its two slender, white fingers to hold the rose's rhizome covered with ugly spikes. With a gentle tug, the delicate flower arrived.
Those same delicate hands.
"This flower is so beautiful...but its rhizome is so ugly..."
The beautiful person sighed, put the rose on the tip of her nose, leaned over and sniffed it gently. She closed her beautiful eyes, enjoying the refreshing fragrance of the flower with a look of ease on her face.
"Excuse me, Priest Liya. I'm sorry, I didn't notice you admiring the flowers just now." The beauty smiled apologetically, but her smile was a more beautiful scenery than the white rose.
"It doesn't matter, Your Highness Yushiniya, your smile is a more beautiful scenery than that rose. If this rose can make you show such a touching smile, I won't mind." Liya gave this without hesitation.
A beautiful woman praises her, and such praise comes from the heart and out of respect for the noble person in front of her.
"Priest Leia, you have done me a favor. Such an appearance is actually a burden for a knight... Haha, is this beautiful flower called "White Rose"? Forgive me for my ignorance."
"Is that so? As a knight, Your Highness Yushiniya's talent for both beauty and strength is really enviable!" Liya smiled, teasing the person in front of her.
Facing Liya's teasing, Yushiniya waved the flowers in her hand helplessly.
"Ah, yes, the child in your hand is a white rose. This is a very rare flower now! So it is normal if His Highness does not know. But why does His Highness, who is always busy with official duties, come to the Holy Mountain so late?
"
"The Pope...is His Excellency the Pope here?" Yushiniya avoided the question. Obviously, if Liya didn't know about it, then this matter was no longer at a level that a priest like Liya could understand.
"Ah, your Excellency is in the main hall now, he should be waiting for you!" Liya immediately understood the secret of this matter. Although she is a highly trusted temple priest, there are always some things... that she cannot understand.
.
"Okay, excuse me... Miss Liya, I wish you a happy midnight!" The beauty gave her a friendly smile, and then she walked past Liya gracefully.
Liya looked back at the knight in sacred armor. She looked at the man's back with longing eyes until she gradually disappeared under the moonlight.
She smoothed her hair, which had been messed up by the evening breeze at some point, and began to recall the deeds of that adult:
Euthynia L. Timothy, one of the three heads of the Knights, also serves as the ninth Supreme Judge of the Inquisition.
Possessing sword skills that impressed the famous sword master, he was the most gifted paladin in history.
The first person under the Pope, the strongest knight who makes enemies fearful.
Such a legend turned out to be the humble and beautiful person in front of her.
"What an incredible person?"
Liya looked at the bright full moon. That beautiful person seemed to make the moonlight lose its color.
The noble knight commander was walking on the shortcut leading to the main hall. The stone slabs from Gilan were paved on this path.
But even though she was heavily armored, she didn't leave a single trace on the fine-grained but fragile stone slab.
Looking through the sparse tree shadows towards the magnificent Temple of the Goddess of Light, the white spire left a holy and mysterious silhouette in the hazy moonlight.
Was it a year or two years ago when you last came here?
She can't remember clearly...
The concept of time has gradually become blurred for her, and the time when time has truly become lost will probably come soon, right?
The white rose in her hand is so beautiful under the moonlight. No wonder Priest Liya, who loves beauty, was fascinated by it.
Thin fingers like white ivory carefully unfold the delicate buds of the flower, and the refreshing fragrance of the rose becomes even more intense.
Perhaps she was fascinated by the fragrance of flowers, so she took off the medal representing military achievements on her chest and replaced it with this delicate flower.
Generally speaking, unless there is an emergency, the pope will not use a bull to summon her.
Now the area under her jurisdiction and garrison is not peaceful.
Even if nothing happens at the station, it would not be a joke to let the top commander leave.
But if the matter is urgent - then why be so secretive?
Turning around, she stepped onto the main road. The stone slabs on the main road were made of white stones from the foot of the mountain. There were 8,000 steps leading directly to the main temple.
Because it is for believers to visit the sanctuary on open days, the steps were designed to allow hundreds of believers to walk at the same time. In order to build the steps, the pope who was overjoyed at that time hollowed out four large quarries near Josa and spent a lot of money to build the steps.
It took ten years to build.
Now this century-old staircase still requires a lot of manpower to maintain and maintain every year.
However, these labors are all undertaken by the believers, and the Holy See does not need to spend much.
But now, at this time, she was the only one climbing on the empty steps, oh, no! There was also the bright moonlight accompanying her, illuminating the front for her on the white stone steps, leaving a noble and elegant figure beside her.
shadow.
Like those ordinary believers, she climbed the stairs step by step. This was her piety and belief in God.
I don’t know how long it’s been…
Is it a moment?
Or just for a while?
She no longer cared about it since she was a child. She still approached the temple step by step as before and lowered her noble head.
Finally, her feet were no longer the undulating steps, but flat stone slabs. She didn't stop until she crossed the knee-high threshold. () The second trial is updated the fastest. Want to meet more like-minded people
