Chapter 119: The Moon with Water Dew and Golden Branches
It's already July, and even the high-altitude sacred mountain of Kalunriel is gradually feeling an inexorable heat, with only the nights being slightly cooler.
Lorraine Hill left the Judgment Department and returned to the direction of Aquarius.
Walking on the path between the peaks, you can see the scattered and sparse lights on the mountain wall opposite or below, dotted with the dark night and the peaks.
Although some swaying figures could be seen, it was too far away so their voices could not reach here. Only the occasional crackling sounds from the torches on the side of the road could be heard.
The ashes after burning had a faint smell of burnt ashes, and as the flames drifted over the bottomless mountain stream, they disappeared into the empty night.
Perhaps because he had solved many of his previous doubts, Lorraine Hill felt a little more relaxed inside, and his steps were also a little faster.
She opened her arms, took a few quick steps on the path close to the mountain wall, and then jumped directly.
The cool night air washed over her, causing her clothes to flutter around and make a whirring sound. She was flying in the air like a bird.
It is still quite a distance from Aquarius Palace. Without the giant eagle to carry it, it would be too slow to walk back.
Although being seen might cause a moment of surprise, there is nothing we can do about it. With this thought in mind, Lorraine Hill speeded up again.
The clothes on his body were slightly moistened by the cold dew in the mountains. About 20 minutes later, a slender and beautiful figure slowly landed at the Aquarius Palace halfway up the mountain, which was a remote corner of the Aquarius Palace.
Lorraine Hill straightened out his messy hair and clothes, and then walked towards his residence.
At night, there are still lights on in many buildings, and a few nuns are walking in and out. Some are laughing and talking about today's interesting things, some are discussing which cosmetics and perfumes are better, and some are complaining quietly about the holidays.
Too little or something like that.
A young nun also unknowingly joined the team and walked along the crowd towards a bright building where Aquarius' dinner was served.
There are bright copper candlesticks in the hall, and nuns are sitting next to the rectangular table. Most of their clothes are similar, mainly black, but there are also many differences, such as cuffs, collars, and badges on their chests.
The cuffs of trainee nuns are all the same black as their clothes, while the cuffs of formal nuns have a circle of white to distinguish them.
Further up, some nuns in charge of the palace have a silver circle on their cuffs and collars, while higher-ranking nuns have a gold leaf pattern.
The badges are also slightly different. There are small water bottles with graceful curves, which represent healing and care. There are prismatic water bottles with straight lines. They are mostly responsible for logistics, such as pharmaceuticals, material procurement and deployment, etc. There are also water bottles in
There is a small silver star. These nuns are the combatants of the Aquarius Palace. Most of them hold silver cross swords and are strong-willed. They usually maintain the security of the Aquarius Palace to prevent those who behave badly from bullying the nuns in the palace.
"What does this kid want to eat?"
When Lorraine Hill walked to the meal selection window, the kind aunt said so.
Are you talking about me? Lorraine Hill looked around for a moment. It seemed that there was no one else there, but he was not young, either. He should be 17 years old...
"Why don't you have some of this today? It's steamed lotus root cake. It's made from the East. It tastes pretty good, but everyone doesn't eat much and order less."
She brought over a plate containing white steamed cakes, which were still slightly steaming.
"Okay, thank you." Lorraine Hill stretched out his arms, and his white hands were exposed from the wide cuffs.
"Hold it and don't spill it." The aunt put the plate in her hands and took a small wooden spoon and placed it next to the plate.
"Yes." Lorraine Hill nodded, took the fragrant steamed cake, and carried it to a corner of the hall.
Although it is a meal time, the place is not crowded because the nuns all take turns to eat.
After Lorraine Hill sat down, he dug out a small piece of steamed cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth. It was still slightly hot and had a soft and waxy texture with a faint sweetness.
She tasted it slowly and took a look at the situation in the hall.
Most of the nuns came here to dine in twos and threes. Here they did not talk about gods, practice, work, etc., but more about small things in life, hobbies and the like.
During normal work, in order to maintain the image of the church and Aquarius, everyone will behave very formally, but after a long time, they will feel a little depressed. Meals have become a rare time for recreation and relaxation.
Many nuns are not very old. They are also young adults who are full of curiosity about life and the world. Naturally, they also have more things they want to talk about.
Regarding the origins of the church members, most of them are not from the Holy Land, but from branches all over the mainland.
The Angel Church will establish some schools in big cities to educate gifted children and help them become extraordinary.
In return, after graduation, these people will become the supplementary personnel of the local church, and the outstanding ones will come to the Holy Land for further training. After completing the training, they will be transferred to branches in various places to assume responsibilities.
Of course, the most gifted geniuses will be recommended by the church to go to Emenas to receive a better education there, and then return to the sanctuary.
Ingrid had such an origin. She was adopted by the church as a child, became an excellent knight, and then studied at Emenas.
Most of the ordinary extraordinary beings trained by the local church can only stay in Sequence 2-3, while the outstanding ones who can come to the Holy Land to further their studies may advance to Sequence 4-5 in a few years. And in the end, the best ones will graduate from Egypt.
The genius who returned from Menas can probably reach Sequence 6-7.
As for Sequence 8, it depends on personal opportunities and struggles, while Sequence 9 is the favor of God. It is difficult to find one among millions of people. This requires talent, will, struggle, opportunity, etc., to break through.
itself, the state of perfection achieved.
As the largest organization in the Western Continent besides the country, the church has countless extraordinary people under its command. Among them, there are three Sequence 9s on the surface. But secretly, according to many people's speculations, there should be 1-2 Sequence 9s with the same combat power.
existence.
In addition, most of the Sequence 8 extraordinary beings hold important positions in the church. Their number is about 30-40, and they are distributed all over the mainland, some in Greenland, some in the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms, and some in the Southern Islands.
Although he is a member of the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, there are actually many factions within the church, and sometimes he may not necessarily be entirely on this side.
It can be expected that if Cang Cui unifies the Western Continent, the church organization will still exist, so they are not particularly concerned about resisting Cang Cui's invasion.
The reason why I joined the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms back then was because of the situation. Several surrounding countries had joined. If I didn't join, I would be isolated. In addition, 70% of the members in the church came from the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms, and most of the members also had their will.
It affected the later decision-making. Finally, Xuehua United was able to be established.
And while Lorraine Hill was eating steamed cakes, a beautiful woman walked into the hall here. She was wearing a close-fitting and pure white robe, with exquisite sleeves, waist and collar.
gold leaf pattern.
And this woman also holds a scepter that looks like a golden moon in her hand. The patterns and halo on it all indicate that this is the scepter priest of the Aquarius Palace, the angel sequence of the church 9·The Moon of Dew and Golden Boughs
