"Do you have anything to do?"
Old Sheila got up from the rattan chair, opened her eyelids, but her eyes were a little cold, and she said slowly to Suldak:
"It's about Rita. She's old enough to marry, and now there's a nice young man in the village who's courting her."
"Oh!" Suldak remembered that according to the legal system of the Green Empire, young people can get married as long as they have attended the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
In this way, Rita is a big girl.
Suldak thought for a while and said, "If two people like each other, I will prepare the dowry."
Hearing what Suldak said, the expression on Old Sheila's face softened slightly, and then said: "Well, he is the captain of the security squadron, Danila Knight."
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the captain of the Badlands Security Squadron, and Suldak had some impressions of him.
"Do you need me to meet with him, or get to know him from the side?" Suldak asked old Sheila.
Old Sheila shook her head, paused, and said, "I know that you are performing garrison missions on other planes, and it is not easy to return to Wall Village, but for Rita's wedding, if you can come back, you should try to come back once. "
It turned out that he wanted to attend Rita's wedding. Surdak nodded and said:
"Of course, as long as you set a date, you can write to me, and I will come back as scheduled..."
Old Sheila lay down on the wicker chair again, looked at the sky with some emptiness in her eyes, but said in her mouth, "Thank you, Duck!"
Suldak smiled at old Sheila.
But when he turned around, he sighed softly.
It can be seen and felt that she was missing her son at that moment...
Chapter 897 That Fish Is So Big
Karp of the carpenter's workshop had already prepared the first batch of wooden windows and doors, and Suldak took the batch of wooden doors and windows back to Dodan Town.
Aphrodite returned to Pustule Mountain with Luke. For the succubus, this trip seemed to have nothing worth remembering, and it was simply extremely boring.
After Suldak returned to Dodan Town, he immediately moved out the batch of wooden doors and windows, and sent people to Aung San on the other side of the row building in the slum area.
Nearly half of the townhouses in the slums of Duodan Town have been built. This half is built with stone foundations, while the upper half is made of wood. The construction process is extremely simple, so the construction speed is also very fast. amazing.
Even without doors and windows, many Aboriginal people have moved back to their new homes.
The doors and windows that Suldak brought back were not their priority, but the foreign businessmen and adventure groups who paid for the terraced buildings. Arranging buildings is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
The terraced buildings here have not been completed yet, and Mrs. Luna has already sold some small townhouses, basically earning back the money invested in the town in advance.
Different from these townhouses, the funds for the construction of the Temple of the Two Goddesses were raised from the nobles of the town, but the funds raised by the nobles were limited to the construction of the Temple of the Dawn, and the other Temple of the Night Goddess was actually the Dak paid out of his own pocket, only to fulfill one of Selena's wishes.
It's just that the construction scale of this temple of the twin goddesses is a bit large now, and the back garden of the temple alone spans the north and south banks of the Dodan River.
……
Surdak was standing on a slightly muddy street. Not far away, a group of aborigines were cleaning up the silt on the street. The silt needed to be cleared out, and then a layer of coarse river sand was laid on it before the bluestone slabs could be laid.
There was a smoky smell in the street, Aung San was panting and brought people running over, asking them to remove the doors and windows here.
After handing over the doors and windows to Aung San, Suldak didn't stop here, and ran directly to the construction site of the Twin Goddess Temple.
Baron Martineau held a blueprint in his hand, stood on a high platform, and directed the workers to lay tiles on the roof.
The main building of the temple has basically been completed. Surdak turned from the dense wooden shelves and walked into the hall of the temple where the gate has not yet been installed. The walls inside have been painted with a layer of white ash, and the whole room looks extremely bright.
The inside of the hall looked very empty, with some building materials strewn about on the ground, and it was estimated that twenty rows of long wooden chairs would be placed in the hall.
On the high platform in front stood a huge humanoid statue. This statue was seven or eight meters high and was covered by a piece of linen cloth dyed black. Suldak guessed it was the goddess Shirin.
Above the head of the statue is a raised dome, the top windows are inlaid with some stained glass, the light shines in from the roof, and the whole hall is full of colorful colors.
Suldak went to the foot of the statue, and the statue's bare feet, which were more than one meter long, stepped on the stone platform. Each toe looked extremely round, but it was a pity that you couldn't see it any further, and they were all covered in black cloth.
There are some painted murals on the wall behind the statue, but it looks like a night sky full of stars.
Suldak wanted to find something he was familiar with from this star map, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything. There were also some simple reliefs on the stone pillars on the surrounding walls, but they were not very clear. Fixed on the stone pillar for carving.
There is only one hall in this temple, and the living room of the clergy is connected to it at the back. There is a spiral staircase going up on the right side. Going up this staircase, you can reach the bell tower above the temple.
"How did you come……"
Selena came out of the room behind the temple and asked in surprise when she saw Suldak standing in the hall.
Surdak turned his head and saw that Selena was carrying a bucket of dye in her hand, and some white paint was also stained on her body, so he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Paint the wall, look...that wall was painted by me!"
Selena pointed to the star map of the night sky on the wall behind the statue, and said with some pride.
"Not bad, where does this star field represent?" Suldak asked.
Selena smiled and said, "Probably the star field that can be covered by the Goddess' divine sense, she told me in a dream..."
She gave a 'you know' look.
Selena led Suldak around the Temple of the Evernight, and then walked out through the back door under the leadership of Selena, finally avoiding those dense wooden shelves.
"It's well built..." Surdak said standing in the back garden.
A group of workers are leveling the land in the back garden of the temple. The semi-circular pool has been connected to the Dodan River, and there is also a semi-circular pool on the opposite bank. The two are connected together to form a circular pool in the garden.
The clear river flows slowly through the middle of the pool, the banks of the river have been built with stones, and the entire back garden has begun to take shape.
Signa and Nika were squatting mysteriously on the stone platform by the river, when they saw Suldak and Selena walking from a distance, they quickly got up to meet them.
Although he didn't see anything, this made Suldak feel very abnormal.
"Dark, you're back..."
Signa quickly ran to Suldak, put her arms around his thighs, and said cutely.
"You two try not to play by the river, and you don't know how to swim. The river looks quite deep..." Suldak said to Signa.
Selena is very good at swimming, but as a daughter, Signa is not very good at swimming.
The four of them walked out of the back garden and walked along the river to the riverside wooden house. From the Temple of the Twin Goddesses to the riverside wooden house, it took less than 10 minutes to walk, and the distance was very close.
Along the way, I met some aborigines who went to fetch water from the river. When they saw Selina, they stopped and saluted. However, many of them didn't seem to know Suldak, the mayor of Dodan Town.
"Is it going well for you to develop believers here?" Suldak asked Selina.
Selena nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face and said: "Not bad, they feel that their current life is bestowed by the goddess..."
"Oh, that's good!" said Surdak.
"By the way, I think it will be inconvenient to develop followers of the Dark Goddess to the indigenous tribes in the hills and mountains and the Invercargill Forest?" Selina asked Suldak with a smile.
"Is there any inconvenience... But if you want to do these things, you need to get rid of the tribe chief first." Suldak reminded.
After finishing speaking, he glanced across the sparkling river, and actually saw a splash of water churning out from the distant river, like a big red carp...
Chapter 898
Wilkes City was dimly lit at night.
Under the moonlight, the surface of the river outside the city was sparkling, and the city was noisy, but the moat outside the city was very quiet.
Sia swam out of the city along the inland river, and swam a few times in the moat, thinking that the knight would wait for her hidden somewhere on the bank, and took the precious dagger he dropped by the way, and took the opportunity to ask her for it. A little bit of good.
She had even thought of a reason for rejecting him.
If he dares to act recklessly, she will show him some color.
Along the way, she suffered a lot while being packed in a glass jar.
Hateful humans, stupid humans, greedy humans, cunning humans, she cursed secretly in her heart...
She is the daughter of the sea, and she has never thought of living on land, especially in a big fish tank that cannot be turned over. This is simply an insult to the sea people.
When she learned to pray to the Sea God, the High Priest of the Sea Clan warned her to accept the favors of others, remember to be grateful, and remember to reciprocate if she has the ability.
She hid in the water plants at the bottom of the river. The water plants in this moat were not so luxuriant, so she could only stick to the gravel on the river bed, wondering if she would give him something after returning the dagger.
She waited in the moat for a whole night, and it was almost dawn when she realized that he had no intention of seeing each other again.
What a proud and cold person!
But what should I do, I don't know where this river can lead?
Siya didn't go upstream, finding the source of the river didn't help her, she wanted to swim into the sea.
But before that, we still have to get rid of breakfast.
The fish in the river was a bit bland, and the fishy smell that couldn't be concealed really made her feel hard to swallow.
Xi Ya went downstream along the river. She didn't know that she swam for several days and nights, thinking that she could finally follow the river into the vast and boundless sea like before.
At that time, maybe we can meet other sea people, so we can find out the direction of the Seven Realms Sea.
But when she swam to a crack in the abyss, she realized that this might be the end of all rivers.
There is no sea in front of it, but a bottomless big crack, and waterfalls hang on the raised rocks.
Fortunately, she swam more carefully, otherwise she would be brought into the ground by the river.
She didn't want to live in the dark underground valley, where not only was it cold and frightening, it was also prone to nightmares.
She was so frightened that she continued to swim back. There are many canyons here, and all the rivers seem to have opened up cracks in the earth, and the rivers here also have countless confluence points, like a piece of broken mesh with dense meshes laid flat on the earth. fishing net.
In this treacherous canyon, she did not know how many torrents and eddies she avoided, and she was a little desperate to find that she was lost in these rivers.
She can only go upstream along the river, so that she may be able to find the source of a certain river.
But the journey was not so smooth, she always met some natives standing by the river holding a harpoon to catch fish, and when they saw a big fish, they would howl and rush into the river, throwing the harpoon in their hand. Far and accurate.
She also met a giant catfish hiding its body in the sand. Its huge mouth has infinite suction. If it weren't for a one-horned bison that came to drink water first from the shore, it might have been swallowed into the stomach of that catfish. That would be her.
Xi Ya was so frightened that she ran away in panic in the river.
She decided to go upstream, across the canyon, to find a safe place for herself.
When she went upstream, she realized that there was actually a large plain in front of her. Although the river here was wide, the water was very shallow and the current was not so fast.
A shadow flitted across the river, and she raised her head from the water... What are those flying in the sky?
A giant bird jumped into the river, and the splash was like a water bomb exploding on the surface of the river, and its two sharp claws almost caught her.
Xi Ya flicked the three-colored fish tail, and hid in the soft sand and stones of the river bank in the next second, but the giant bird was always wandering in the sky, refusing to leave.
She dared not come out to swim during the day, it seemed safer at night.
Just going upstream, she found that the river was getting thinner... This made her a little anxious.
She originally wanted to find a spacious lake to live temporarily, but who would have thought that after swimming for so long, she couldn't find a livable place.
She even thought that after the river dried up, she would lie on the beach and be dried up in the sun, her scales would be curled and peeled off, and her beautiful, wet, seaweed-like hair would turn into black dried seaweed...
God of the Sea, I don't even dare to think about it!
Until she saw the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, even the river became cold. The trout in this river were delicious and sweet. There were no bloated giant catfish in the river, and those circling giant catfish could not be seen in the sky. Bird, she decided to find a place to hide here.
Along the way, she saw many small towns built along the river.
At first I was very scared, worried that when I swam through the river, I would be discovered by the people in the town.
Later, she found that these people living in the town were not alert at all, and gradually got used to swimming past the town silently...
Xi Ya discovered that human beings cannot do without water!
She found a pond next to a small town with obvious signs of construction. Knowing that it might be discovered by humans, she still lurked nearby because it was a little more spacious than other places.
She occasionally swims into the pond at night, and once in a while has a wild race swim...
The beautiful colorful fins are not only beautiful, when she swims with all her strength, she can even catch up with those silly and cute dolphins in the sea.
She was sitting on a wooden platform by the shore, combing her seaweed-like hair, and admiring the moonlight in this strange world, when suddenly a little girl's voice came from her ear: "Nica, look, there is something over there." A mermaid..."
The sound startled Xi Ya, and her first reaction was to jump into the river.
"Signa, it's so dark, can you see it? Your eyesight is really good..." the little aboriginal girl said enviously.
"I am the Blessed One of the Night, the Saintess of the Temple of the Night, is it strange to have night vision?" Signa accepted the compliment very frankly.
"Should we go over and say hello to her? Will it scare her?" Nika asked in a low voice.
The two little girls don't know how sensitive Janna's ears are, and they usually use their ears to track whales in the sea...
