honor me as god

Chapter 844
Dreams filled with memories are as intoxicating as fine wine, but one cannot be immersed in dreams forever, one must wake up eventually.

Roman opened his eyes, the room was dark, but the sky outside the window already had some hazy morning light, it was dawn, and it was also the quietest time in the whole world.

Roman didn't stay in bed. After washing, he walked out of the bedroom and looked into the distance. There was a thin autumn rain in the sky. The wind picked up and scattered the raindrops, causing ripples when they fell into the stagnant water.

There were many people who woke up early like him in the open space outside, and they must have been unable to sleep on the eve of the war.

At daybreak, the rebel army will take the initiative to launch an offensive. After this battle, who will survive and who will die on the battlefield forever, no one knows. Why not enjoy the last peace before the start of the blitzkrieg now.

Roman didn't go downstairs, but went upstairs. He stayed in front of the room at the end of the corridor. The wind gently fiddled with the concealed windows and doors, making a creaking sound, as if singing a song.

This is Nicole's room. Looking from the window, she is still sleeping soundly on the bed, her small body curled up into a ball, and she is still sucking her fingers childishly, like a well-behaved bunny.

"How old is he, still eating fingers?" Roman murmured softly to himself, and went into the room to help Nicole pull the quilt to cover her cold shoulders. He looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping face and meditated, and finally patted her On the back of the head, "It doesn't seem too big."

Roman helped Nicole close the creaking windows, closed the door and left quietly.

Two hours before the assembly time, Roman found Shangguan Ba ​​who was eating breakfast in the cafeteria, and asked, "Has your sister woke up yet?"

Shangguan Ba ​​replied honestly: "Get up, she's on the roof over there."

Luo Man came to the roof of the building that Shangguan Ba ​​had mentioned. Sure enough, Shangguan Xue was sitting on the edge of the railing holding a flower umbrella, silently looking at the eastern sky. shimmer.

Shangguanxue noticed the person coming, and glanced this way, but said nothing. After all, she was not familiar with Roman, and the two of them probably didn't have more than ten sentences in total since they worked together.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and Roman wanted to take the initiative to open up the conversation, so he walked up to Shangguanxue and took out a candy from his arms: "Do you want candy?"

Shangguan gave him a white look, and began to speak mercilessly: "How old are you, and you ask others if they eat candy, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Roman gave an embarrassing apology. He subconsciously treated Shangguanxue the same way he treated Nicole. Although they were both short, their temperaments were completely different.

The atmosphere was so awkward, Roman didn't know how to talk to Shangguan Xue, and stood in place and shut himself up.

Shangguan Xue was blowing the air well, but there was a person standing next to him suddenly. It was not wrong to chase people away, nor was it wrong to continue to blow the air. She couldn't help feeling a little bit on pins and needles, so she took the initiative to ask: "Why are you looking for me?"

Roman quickly answered: "Ah, yes, I want to ask you something, that's... that's it"

Under Shangguan Xue's suspicious gaze, Roman hesitated for a long time, and asked cautiously, "Can you make a safe talisman?"

Shangguan Xue thought she had heard it wrong, and asked with a puzzled face, "What talisman???"

"Peace Talisman!" Roman gestured in the air with his hands, and explained, "It's the kind of thing in your Far East legends. It has been illuminated, has divine power, and when worn on the body, it can ward off bad luck and eliminate disasters, and seal evil spirits. Can you help me?" I'll make one! Just ask for a price!"

Shangguan Xue was stunned for a long time, and looked at Roman with stupid eyes: "Brother, have you made a mistake? I am an onmyoji, not a fortune teller."

Roman asked cutely: "Is there any difference?"

Shangguan Xue lost his temper completely, and said weakly: "Of course it's different. Those fortune tellers are all charlatans, and our onmyojis are all people who seek truth from facts and never engage in metaphysics."

"Don't read in the book that the onmyoji seeks the gods and asks, and the soul communicates with yin and yang. It's all made up by the royal family to create power. Our ability is to control curses and kill people, nothing else."

"The peace talismans are here. Are you Doglanders so superstitious?"

Roman was a little reconciled, and asked: "But... peace charms are very common in the Far East."

Shangguanxue said helplessly: "It is very common, but in the final analysis, it is a superstitious thing. You can wear it if you like it, but it is useless if you wear it."

Seeing that Roman was dumbfounded, Shangguan Xue couldn't help laughing: "You don't really think that the peace talisman can help people prevent bloody disasters, do you? Please, if it's really that useful, I'll get myself a thousand peace talismans to wear on the battlefield." Doesn’t God have a thousand lives?”

Roman asked blankly: "Is the peace talisman really useless?"

Shangguanxue said slowly: "You say it works, it's really useless, even if you find some natural and earthly treasures as raw materials, ask the chief onmyoji to consecrate them, and make you a top-level safety talisman, it's not as good as a simple defensive talisman." Charms are easy to use—of course, except for onmyojis, no one else can use them."

"However, it is not accurate to say that it is not useful at all. At least it can be regarded as psychological comfort. It is like shouting twice before a fight to cheer yourself up, similar to that effect."

After hearing this, Roman sighed sadly: "Hey, it's a shame that I still have such great hopes."

Shangguan Xue glanced at him, and said in a mocking tone: "Why, the big battle is coming, I am afraid that I will die too soon, so I want to get a safety talisman to save my life?"

"It's not for myself." Roman whispered, "I want to ask for one for someone else."

Shangguan Xue was a little puzzled, she thought for a moment, and soon realized something, a deep smile appeared on her face: "For Nicole?"

Roman was surprised: "How do you know?"

Shangguan Xue snorted: "If I can't see it with your little thoughts, then don't be an onmyoji. Hey, do you like her?"

Crimson began to climb up Roman's cheeks, the hot face formed a temperature difference with the surroundings, and there was faint smoke, and he began to stutter: "What?! We are comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, do you understand? To comrades-in-arms Please be safe, yes, is there something wrong?"

"I can't tell, a big man can blush, so innocent." Shangguan Xue was amused by Roman's performance, and couldn't help laughing at him.

Roman is at a loss now, his face is flushed, and he just hangs his head and doesn't speak.

Shangguanxue coughed lightly, and brought the topic back: "So, do you still want the safety talisman?"

Roman froze for a moment: "Didn't you say it was useless?"

Shangguan Xue caressed the umbrella in his arms, and said quietly: "It's useless, everyone is mortal, life and death have a destiny, and it is not the way of ghosts and gods that can be changed arbitrarily. But..."

"In my opinion, the peace talisman does not need to have any effect. It is a kind of heart, entrusting people's yearning and affection. At least it is very romantic, isn't it?"
