Chapter 9 The storm is coming
Early in the morning, Fultest Castle.
The woman lying on the bed had slightly shaken her shallow eyelashes, she opened a pair of slender eyes, staring at the exquisite crystal chandeliers on the ceiling. After a while, she lifted the warm velvet quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.
The morning light penetrated out of the window, reflecting her white skin as white as snow, smooth as silk, and a slim and sexy figure. At this moment, her whole body was smooth, and a star-shaped sapphire necklace in front of her neck was extremely eye-catching.
She came to the windowsill, took a deep breath, raised her clean and simple face, bent her eyebrows and diamond-shaped lips, and smiled and looked calm and joyful.
Since she believed in the goddess, she has lost many meaningless desires and is fulfilled and happy every day.
Not long after, the palace female official entered the bedroom and put on a luxurious white gold dress for her, and woven her hair into two long braids in front of the dressing table, hanging over her shoulders.
She admired the noble and beautiful images in the mirror, her pupils spread and she lost her mind for a long time.
"Princess... Your Majesty is waiting for you in the restaurant..."
...
Yada came to the dining place, an exquisite rectangular table that could accommodate dozens of people.
The table was filled with delicious dishes made of silver utensils: honey suckling pig, blueberry cod, charcoal grilled steak, steamed squirrel fish, fresh fruits, vegetables...
At the dining table was a middle-aged man, Fultest, the ruler of Temolia. The king was in his prime, with his thick brown short hair, hard facial lines, bright eyes, and a clean shaved chin.
The strong muscles under the white shirt are raised high and the back is straight, making them look extremely energetic.
He slowly wiped the gravy from the corner of his mouth with a white square scarf, and patted the chair on the left with his other hand holding the knife. The princess sat down.
"Hard-boosting, I've been waiting for you for two months for this breakfast." Fultest shrugged himself with a hint of complaining, "The poor and lonely old father has always wanted to talk to his daughter. Are you willing to give him a chance?"
"Dear His Majesty King Taimolia, you are not unaware that the church was founded and that it is too much to be busy. It will be better when this period of time passes."
"I will have a great time chatting with you!"
The princess smiled and hugged Fultest's hand and kissed him on the side face.
The king's face cleared a little, "How was the rest last night?"
"I've been sleeping well in the last two months..." Yada said with a cheerful tone, "Nightmare and insomnia have completely left me."
"Praise the gods! There is no better news than this..." Fultest smiled gently and handed over the cut steak to the princess. The steak looked less than three-quarters cooked, and a trace of blood was leached from the meat. "Try it, the fresh steak that just shipped from Malibo this morning was specially prepared for you."
"His Majesty the King..." Yada chewed the beef in small mouthfuls, her red lips opened and closed, graceful and calm, "You should praise the lady in the lake. It was her gift that healed me and helped me get rid of the insomnia devil and bad temper." Yada said, pouting her red lips, pushing the remaining steak to the other side of the dining table with some disgust, and her eyes turned to fresh fruits and vegetables, and the soft and tender squirrel fish.
"What's wrong? The steak is not delicious? Did the chef be lazy again today?" Fultest also tasted the beef, tender and juicy, with just the right mixture of original flavor and blood, and his tongue trembled in the deliciousness.
"There is no problem with the quality of the steak, and the cooking is just right." Yada was feasting on vegetables and fish, saying vaguely, "It's just that I haven't adapted to the smell of blood recently and want to change my appetite."
The smell of blood?
Fultest's face flashed with surprise, and the majestic king rarely loses his composure.
"Yada, if I remember correctly, you once said that you love the original sweetness of fresh meat." This is the gentlest statement. Although Yada has escaped the curse of the bloodthirsty demon bird and has been around for many years, unfortunately she still retains a bad habit - desire for blood. She prefers bloody meat, and sometimes even tastes the blood of living animals. This half-baked steak is one of her favorite foods.
"That was the past...I changed my mind. The bloody food was rude and cruel." Yada put down the fork in her hand and looked at her father's eyes seriously. "Under the lady's guidance, I quit this ugly habit... Green vegetables, red apples, baked bread, and fresh fish caught from Lake Vijima can make me better."
"My daughter..." Wrinkles appeared on Fultest's broad forehead. Logically speaking, it should be a great thing for his daughter to quit that habit, but his uneasiness and worries became more and more intense. "Vivian, a lady in the lake, is really like the legendary magic power and noble character? In just over two months, you have transformed you so thoroughly, just like a different person."
Fultest looked at his biological daughter again and suddenly discovered more details that he had never paid attention to before.
The princess of Termolia, his daughter, Bai Zhiyada, was not long ago a "independent woman" who was unruly, wearing leather armor, wearing daggers and whips, and wearing an assassin's temperament. But now, why has she suddenly become a royal noble lady with elegant and reserved words and deeds?
"Do you think it's not good?" Yada asked.
"How could it be, it's more boyish than before."
This transformation is naturally excellent, at least it will allow her to find a better husband in the future.
But the change happened too quickly and too quickly, like brainwashing, which made Fultest feel afraid, "The goddess in the lake is not like a god, but more like a devil who bewitches people's hearts..."
The princess of the dignified Taimolia must not be manipulated by some so-called god!
"Father!" Yada persuaded softly, "I understand that no matter how you boast about the goddess' character and divine power, you will not believe it. It is better for me to arrange a meeting to let you witness the miracles with your own eyes... As the high priest of the church, I have a certain right to speak in front of the goddess..."
Fultest shook his head and approached the teleportation creature rashly. It was too reckless and did not meet the original plan. "I have an appointment with Lao La Varedi first. The harvest festival is just after, which is the best time to hunt bears. In a few days, I will set off to the Baron to accompany him to hunt with him. Let's talk about it after meeting the goddess in the lake..." Fultest wrapped his daughter's left hand in his palm, with his eyes looking forward to it.
"Go together, good daughter."
"Next time I'll go... I'll eat it, so you can enjoy it slowly." Yada wiped the food at the corner of her mouth, stood up, looked out the west side of the window and smiled, "It's almost time for morning meeting, I have to rush to the temple area to preside over the ceremony for the believers."
Fultest lowered his head, a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, "I will continue to let Rudolph continue to be responsible for your safety..."
He finally looked at Yada deeply, "Good daughter, before leaving, I will give you a piece of advice, pay attention to your identity, first of all, you are the princess of Vigima, and then you are the priest, don't be overly addicted to religious affairs."
...
When Yada left, a sorcerer with a nose ring, earring and a sinister face appeared silently in the restaurant.
The mage bowed to the king's land at the dining table, "Your Majesty, the plan is ready, just one order... start the action immediately."
"Aza Javid, please confirm again that the blood of that person is really as you said, and can keep people young and have endless energy..."
"I promise! Your Majesty, the legendary goddess in the lake and the dragon are quite similar. The blood of these legendary creatures is born with magical medicines. It only takes a certain amount of adjustment to produce many magical effects. I just master the adjustment method... As long as you get her blood and add a little adjustment, you will definitely make you healthier and longer."
Fultest nodded, "Ahem... how is another thing going?"
"The fetal protection medicine has entered the final stage of stagnation, and it will be fine in three days." The warlock bent his waist into an arch bridge and approached the king's ear with great respect. "This medicine will definitely make the wife and son safe, and give you a healthy prince."
"Prince... the prince who inherits Temolia!" Fultest's brows stretched, and his serious face showed joy. "What are you waiting for? After you have done it, you will send the elixir immediately. I want to give her a surprise."
My beautiful Lu Yisha can't wait, right?
"As for your order, your Majesty! I have to say that there is only one god in the entire Vigima, that is you!" The warlock lowered his head and bent his mouth invisibly.
"I don't care about the gods. This action must protect Yada's safety!" Fultest paced around the dining table, his face flashing, "Try not to make her sad!"
...
When the two witch hunters came to the Temple District Square, there were already crowds of people.
Hundreds of believers gathered under the giant statue of the goddess in the lake, either kneeling down, staring blankly, or chanting verses repeatedly.
The witch hunter dressed with two swords on his back was extremely eye-catching among a group of working people. Before they approached the statue, knights of the White Rose Knights stopped him.
Fortunately, the knights who rushed over once accompanied the witch to the Black Tern Island to fight against the fallen half-fishermen, and formed a deep fighting friendship with them, so they did not use sharp swords and vigilance to deal with them, but instead they were warm greetings.
The knights also knew that the two had a good relationship with Princess Yada, so they easily put them close to the statue.
At the bottom of the statue, two girls in white robe stood quietly, one on the left and the other on the right. They left the middle position, facing the vast number of believers in the church, bathing in the Godly grace, is the position of Yada, the high priest of the Virtue Church.
But she hasn't arrived yet.
After Roy arrived at the statue, the goddess's fishtail blocked his body. During observation, the whole statue was rich as golden as the ocean, and the faith of all living beings was like surging waves.
Statue of goddess in the lake
Divine Incarnation·Container of Faith
??
"What is the essence of faith? It has attracted so many gods."
Following the instructions of the lady in the lake, Roy took out a diamond-shaped blood gem and pasted it on the statue. In an instant, a hazy golden light poured into the blood gem.
The witch hunter felt his palm sinking, and the blood gem began to struggle and shake like a living creature.
The strange phenomenon lasted for two minutes, and the abnormal movement stopped. At the same time, the surface of the gems was filled with dazzling golden light.
And the statue seemed to have been sucked dry, and no faith could be observed anymore, and it returned to its dull state.
