How To Wear a Goddess Statue

The sun shines through the pillars of the temple and falls into the sacrificial room, paving the golden road, and the marble statue of the goddess stands at the end of the glorious road, solemn and quiet.

This place is empty.

…but just no one.

Luodus wanted to sigh, but she could only think about it, because stone statues would not sigh.

That's right, Luotas at this time is the stone statue standing in the temple.

of.

Luodus was trapped in the stone body for three days, unable to move, unable to speak, from the initial bewilderment to the current calm, she has accepted the change from a modern person to a statue Facts of ancient gods.

It doesn’t seem to be accurate to say that he travels through a stone statue. Luotas has some kind of enlightenment in his heart. The **** is the carrier of his own consciousness. The current embarrassing state will not last forever. and opportunity.

At this time, the sound of slow and steady footsteps suddenly sounded outside the shrine room, from far to near.

The visitor is the main priest of this temple, an elderly woman who always has a straight face. She comes every day at this time to perform the daily sacrificial ceremonies, and she is pious from beginning to end Extremely, meticulously.

The priestess stood in front of the statue and placed the tray in her hand on the sacrificial altar. Luodus knew what was inside without looking at it—steaming fresh bread, honey roasted meat, Pomegranate and wine.

The ancient Solan believed that the gods also needed three meals a day, so the first thing the chief priest of each temple got up in the morning was to bathe and burn incense, and then bring a plate to the gods serving breakfast.

Of course, the statues cannot eat, so these sumptuous meals will be taken down and distributed to other priests as snacks after a few hours on the altar, which is euphemistically called the Holy Communion.

Lotus, the victim of this sacrificial tradition: "…"

She couldn't hold back, and sighed in her heart.

The priestess naturally didn't know what the **** in front of her was thinking. She placed the sacrifice, took two steps back, closed her eyes and recited the hymn of the gods. This is also the content of her daily prayer.

The priestess did not end her praise until the heat of the bread and roasted meat had completely dissipated and became cold and hard, and she bowed deeply.

, a new believer has come among us, will you give her the honor of stepping into this place?"

She paused for a few breaths, as if the statue had already answered, then turned to the door and said, "Come in."

There are still people? Luo Das was a little surprised, she had only heard the footsteps of the priestess before, when...

In the sight of Luodus' exploration, a small figure walked in from the door, and the footsteps were barely noticeable without listening carefully, as light as a cat.

This is a young girl, she looks no more than ten years old, she is wearing a simple white linen dress, her thin and straight black hair will reach her shoulders, and a small face is expressionless , only the slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her nervous alertness.

The girl looked up at the statue without speaking.

The priestess said solemnly: "This is the **** you will serve in the future. He is the incarnation of all clear water, and the goddess of the Ilu River who benefits all things! Eleuil, you should greet the goddess here. Pledge allegiance."

Eleuil.

Luo Das, who was still looking at the little girl, was suddenly stunned, because she was quite familiar with this name, or in other words, no one who knew ancient Solan would not know this name.

There have been several queens in the recorded history of ancient Solan, and Eleuil is not one of them, but her experience is the most legendary.

The princess lost her parents when she was young, and was exiled to a remote temple by her uncle who succeeded to the throne, where everyone thought she would die silently and silently , but she survived.

Not only that, Eleuil also set foot on the battlefield, made great achievements, and finally led the army loyal to her to return to the king city and compete with the then prince Romul for the throne.

She almost succeeded, but unfortunately that miraculous life ended in a glass of secretly poisoned wine.

The Epic of Ancient Solan praises her:

O majestic Eleuil!

Your bow and arrow are gilded with the radiance of the gods,

Your name makes the enemy dare not be arrogant,

Your deeds will live on in the frontiers of Solan,

Eleuil, Uncrowned Queen!

—At this moment, the Uncrowned Queen is just a little girl who has just been exiled. As soon as she lost her parents, she was deprived of the treatment of a princess and reduced to a strange and remote place. This is probably her most confused. and tough times.

Across from the statue, the little princess did not say a word after saluting, and she did not swear loyalty to the goddess, the priestess could not help but reminded: "Every schoolchild who comes here must believe in faith. Goddess of the Ilu River."

Eleuil was unmoved, silent and stubborn.

Bar."

Luodus wanted to see more of this little princess, but Eleuil had turned around and walked out quickly, the priestess shook her head again and again behind her, chanting to the god, the general meaning is nothing more than It is to ask the gods to forgive, to forgive the child's disrespect.

No, I don't care.

Lotus thought silently.

In the incomplete historical records, Eleuil does not seem to have a **** of faith. She does not use the name of a **** as a middle name like other royal families. Lan's rare atheist.

Lotus was also an atheist—until she became a **** herself.

She recalls Eleuil's performance.

Against the light, those clear golden eyes stared directly at the eyes of the deity, without evading, as if trying to convey something, but also seemed a little bit of grievance, as if left by the ethnic group, alone A wolf cub walking in the ice and snow.

It is impossible to say that my heart is not touched.

But she is a stone statue, even moving is a luxury, what can she do?

The priestess left quickly, pulling the curtain to block the sunlight as she left, leaving the dark and quiet room for the deity to the statue.

The time cannot be deduced from the offset of the sunlight, and I don't know how long it has passed. Just as Luodus was concentrating on pulling the memories related to Guthran from his mind, the curtain was suddenly pulled away.

The little princess went back and forth, she stuck out half of her face behind the door, carefully observed for a moment, and then slipped in quietly.

What is she doing?

Lotus became curious.

Eleuil stood opposite the statue, only a little higher than the altar, and looked very small at the feet of the statue.

In the sacrificial room where no one was watching, she raised her face and carefully observed the statue, her eyes moved inch by inch, from the vivid water waves carved on the pedestal to the fine lines of the long skirt, From the drapery symbolizing the Ilu River to the eyes inlaid with blue chalcedony.

The statue is lifelike, her blue eyes drooping slightly, as if she is looking at the visitor with gentle and compassionate eyes... But the corners of her mouth are tightly pursed, and there is no arc like a smile at all, no joy or no joy Sadly indifferent.

the favor of…

Eliuil took a deep breath, imitating the tone of the priestess chanting a hymn: "Lotus, the great goddess of the river, I hereby pray for your coming."

Her voice was immature, but with an innate imperiousness, she was not humble or arrogant when she said the prayer of request.

The idol did not respond.

No matter how vivid, the statue is still a stone.

If it really exists, please appear in front of me—"

The final sound dissipated in the empty room, and there was only a long silence.

Eleuil bit her lip, and a watery mist gradually accumulated in her eyes. With a slight blink, two teardrops rolled down the corners of her eyes.

She is more sensible than children of the same age, and she was clearly the princess who was pampered in the palm of her hand before, the only royal bloodline of this generation, but now she lives alone in this strange temple.

Parents died in front of her, no one can be trusted, no one can rely on, only rely on yourself.

It was replaced by other children, who had already been panicked and hid in the corner crying in the dark.

But Eleuil clearly realized that the danger is like a shadow, and she must plan for herself from now on, so as not to die here silently and never return home.

She is not qualified to cry.

The little princess raised her hand to wipe off the remaining water marks on her face, trying to hold back her tears, but she didn't notice where the two tears fell.

Suddenly, there were faint voices coming from outside the door, and someone was coming this way.

Eleuil's eyes froze for a moment, she looked around vigilantly like a small beast, and then took a run, lightly turned over the narrow high window of the sacrificial room, and quickly fled away.

If Luodus could speak at this time, she would definitely stop the little princess: Don't rush to run, those who are joking outside are temple employees, not qualified to step into the worship room - you It's much safer to stay here than to run out!

However, she couldn't make a sound at this time, and even if she could, she wouldn't have time for him.

The two drops of tears from the little princess fell on the toes of the statue protruding from the skirt corners, and gradually penetrated into the crystal clear marble.

But what they brought to Luodus was not the coolness of water droplets, but a strange warm feeling that quickly spread from the toes to the whole body, causing her to close her eyes involuntarily.

…Wait, close your eyes?

On the third day after crossing, Luodus finally broke free from the **** of the idol and made her first move in ancient Solancia - closing her eyes.

The author has something to say:

Finally, it's the brain hole I've always wanted to write.

The river goddess Luodus, the name comes from the lotus lotus, and the pronunciation is not exactly the same.

Little Princess Eleuil, homophonic 2612, very easy to remember (?)
