#107 - The gift and glorious grace bestowed by the Sun Goddess
Having both flowers and swords is a significant characteristic of the Sun Goddess. As the god of tactics and strategy, her grandest celebration is the triumphant celebration after the war.
Knights and followers who believe in the goddess will parade Violet's beautiful statue in a sedan decorated with flowers, human skulls, and gold, and enjoy the cheers and colors of the territory's army, people, and subjects.
In this world, flowers symbolize beauty, gold represents wealth, and human skulls mark human purity. Its meaning is not only to prove that this person has never been corrupted or fallen until death, pure and unblemished, but also represents noble sacrifice.
The Flame Sun Knights in the Sun Goddess Church is the most famous and powerful knight order that combines both flowers and reality. Their knights always wear the most high-profile and luxurious armor, charging forward bravely on the most dangerous battlefields.
So, on the way back, Su Li prepared four kinds of sacrifices for the goddess: a garland woven from beautiful flowers blooming between spring and summer, four pounds of Anarick Giant Spider's silk, a dagger made of gold by goblins, and a powerful giant wolf belonging to the Broken Toe Tribe's leader.
In short, these were all great gains from this battle. How can he show the power of defeating the enemy in this battle without showing the precious props he gained to the gods?
This is the case both in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Before dispatching troops, first brag about the size and strength of one's own forces to enhance military power and morale.
After winning, praise how powerful and terrible the opponent is to show the glory and triumph of one's victory.
After Su Li selected the spoils, the knights of the territory and the believers of the Sun Goddess followed Su Li to the Sun Goddess Monastery. Knights in shining armor knelt on one knee before the goddess statue, piously praising the goddess's glory and divine grace.
Hilder and Orstein knights personally held the sacrifices and followed Su Li and Captain Rong En into the monastery, piously placing the sacrifices on the goddess's altar.
After Su Li knelt down on one knee first, Hilder and Orstein knights knelt on his left and right, respectfully listening to Su Li's announcement to the goddess:
“Praise the just and generous Sun Goddess, the great Violet. You are the embodiment of tactics and strategy. Your light shines on us, enabling us to be brave and fearless in battle. Thank you for giving us strength, allowing us to overcome obstacles and defeat powerful enemies in this battle. We will always follow your guidance, defend our faith, and protect our homeland.”
At this time, Captain Rong En slowly walked to the altar, holding a golden long sword, touching each sacrifice one by one, and then said in a loud voice: “Today, we are not only celebrating victory, but also proclaiming the greatness and selflessness of the Sun Goddess. The sacrifices we offer are the victories and glory we have gained in battle. May the goddess accept this intention, and may the goddess's glory forever illuminate our journey!”
With Captain Rong En's declaration, in an instant, the fragrance of flowers and the golden light intertwined, and a sacred light descended from the sky, penetrating the entire dome of the monastery and covering the altar.
At this moment, the entire territory heard the ethereal and holy chorus from the kingdom of God, like angels praising the kindness and generosity of the gods, and like thousands of believers praying to the gods with piety and holiness.
The golden light began to spread outward from the monastery, from the monastery to the castle, from the northern highlands to the riverside grassland, all shrouded in sacred golden light.
From the knights kneeling on one knee outside the castle to the armed attendants organizing the spoils of war, to the halflings cooking, their faces showed uncontrollable great surprise.
This is a miracle! Most people may not see it once in their lifetime.
苏离(Su Li) also widened his eyes in surprise. A miracle really came.
The bright golden light was continuously pouring from the dome of the monastery onto the altar where the sacrifices were placed.
When the golden light dissipated, the sacrifices on the altar had disappeared, replaced by an eagle shield shining with golden light.
A burst of cheers immediately erupted in the monastery. The golden eagle is the symbol of the Sun Goddess. This goddess has bestowed divine grace!
Although Rong En is the Captain of the battle pilgrimage group, this was the first time he had seen such a scene of divine grace descending. His eagle-like sharp eyes were filled with shock and surprise.
Then he stepped forward, piously held up the golden eagle shield with both hands, and then turned around and solemnly handed it to Su Li.
“Respected pioneering Lord Sir, when I touched this eagle shield, I clearly heard the goddess's teachings to the priest.”
“This eagle shield is called Sun's Radiance. When your army is equipped with shields, the shields will refract brilliant light under the sun, reducing the probability of enemy ranged damage hitting your soldiers by at least 30%.”
“When you activate this shield on the battlefield, for the next period of time, the shields equipped by your troops will be transformed into magic weapons. After parrying the opponent's attack in melee combat, the damage will be completely reflected back to the opponent in the form of magic. However, in the next battle, they will lose their ability to interfere with long-range arrows until you win a great victory over your opponent and return to the monastery to pray, and this passive ability will take effect again.”
苏离(苏 Li) immediately grasped this sacred shield. A powerful sacred force flowed on the eagle symbol of the shield. After he grasped the shield, a powerful sense of solidity filled his body.
Although the gods did not reveal how defensive this shield was, 苏离(苏 Li) had a feeling that if the enemy directly hit this shield, the backlash sacred power would also make the opponent miserable, no less than a Wyvern hitting Orstein knight's Sun God Shield.
Then 苏离(苏 Li) handed the shield to Hilder with a smile and said: “Hang this shield on the wall of our castle hall to show the divine grace of the Sun Goddess to everyone. We are a territory protected by divine grace, this is our medal of glorious victory!”
Hilder immediately nodded happily, took the shield with both hands and held it in her arms, but she did not rush to go out, but said with a smile: “I have heard the cheers of the subjects outside, Lord Sir, you should go out of the monastery first and accept the knights' support and cheers for you.”
Hilder's words made sense, 苏离(苏 Li) nodded with a big laugh and said: “Go, you come out with me, today's honor is what we all worked hard to get.”
The three of them were of course happy to do so, and followed 苏离(苏 Li) to turn around and walk towards the monastery gate.
When they walked out of the monastery and crossed the monastery's simple gate, the sun shone from the outside, and the whole world suddenly became bright and cheerful. A burst of enthusiastic cheers resounded below the high slope.
Countless knights raised their swords and cheered excitedly at 苏离(苏 Li). A large number of the territory's subjects carried garlands woven with flowers and pottery pots filled with clear water, warmly celebrating the army's triumph and the divine grace the territory had obtained.
Whether soldiers or civilians, they were all greatly encouraged by the territory's sacred glory today, cheering and jumping for joy.
Philis was recommended out by the Lord Chancellor in the crowd to offer a garland to the Lord Sir as the territory's purest and most beautiful girl.
Her beautiful cheeks were flushed with excitement, and she was also shy of being the focus of attention, but more of it was the joy for the territory's army's triumph and the blessing of the gods.
Holding the garland in her hands, she came to 苏离(Su Li) with her voice trembling a little because of nervousness: “ Lord Sir, I... I represent the subjects to offer you a garland. All the territory will remember your glory and merits today for generations to come. Your glory and achievements will be spread to thousands of miles away.”
“We sincerely pray that the goddess will always favor you, and divine grace will be as it is today. The white dove of victory and the laurel of honor will always be with you.”
She was so nervous that she forgot an important blessing, when the sun rises, the morning light shines, the divine grace descends, and the beer is poured, it is time to sing hymns like a priest. The territory's greatest hymns is the Bauhinia hymns, you are the most glorious warrior. Your victory gives us hope.
But at this moment of happy and exciting celebration, no one will care about this little mistake. Flowers, beauties, knights, and heroes are intertwined into the most romantic picture at this moment.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the earth, the knights' armor and the flowers on the ground in front of the monastery were dyed with golden light, accompanied by the joy of victory, everything was beautiful.
And 苏离(Su Li), after putting on the garland that Philis put on her, directly leaned over and hugged the girl who exclaimed in surprise, and announced with a big laugh: “Taking advantage of this joyous moment, I also want to solemnly express my love to you. From the first moment I saw you, I have been deeply in love with you. Although vicissitudes reincarnation, this love will last forever, stand for thousands of years until the end of the world.”
“I want to invite you to be my third female courtier, and from now on live in my castle and bathe in the glory of the Bauhinia family.”
Listening to this heart-stirring love poem, the girl covered her wide-open mouth with a pair of jade hands, and widened her eyes even more incredibly. Lord Sir actually confessed to her, a farmer's daughter, in public!
Even if the girl was spring heart dawning, she would not dare to imagine such a romantic scene in her dreams.
She is just a farmer's daughter, a civilian who has not awakened extraordinary abilities. It is impossible to marry a knight as a legal wife. Being able to become the Lord Sir's courtier, and a courtier announced in public, is already the most perfect ending anyone can imagine.
How could she refuse this confession? How to refuse this moment of both flowers and romance.
The knights and civilians in the territory also looked here in surprise, but thinking of the peerless elegance of the figure last night, they could also understand the Lord Sir's excitement. Which man would not be 충동(충동: impulsive) for such a peerless beauty?
After all, this is a man's most successful and exciting moment, he should be in high spirits and do whatever he wants.
The women in the territory were also very moved, especially Hilder and Avril. The Lord Sir had just solemnly announced that Philis was the third female courtier, which was equivalent to publicly clarifying the status of the two of them.
This is undoubtedly a happy and pleasant moment for everyone!
