[Comprehensive] The tenderness of the dwarfs

Although the sacred city now enshrines the God who is the Creator, and the buildings in the city are mainly churches, but a long time ago, when Kagahakusan was still a powerful empire, what they believed in was different. It is a traditional religion based on nature worship, Shintoism.

Derek found clues about the so-called "witches" in this world from the records about Shintoism, and he handed the thick "Sacred Empire Chronicle" to April from the bookshelf: "It's very heavy, be careful A little."

He leaned over and turned the pages, frowning and pointing, and it took Derek a lot of work to find it, exhausted.But when he saw Siyue's eyes glowing with anticipation, he suddenly felt very complete: "The maiden was named Juliyuanming, I checked, Juliyuanming is also called Juliyuan God, Julijiming , is the Hakusan Biba God enshrined in Kaga Hakusan and other Hakusan shrines."

April nodded, and suddenly froze: "Kaga Hakusan?"

"That's right, it is the holy mountain of the holy city. As long as we can get the permission of the bishop of the cathedral, we can enter. Maybe the witch you are looking for is inside."

Siyue felt that her throat was tight and dry due to tension, which made her almost speechless.The light that has been chasing is just ahead, and she seems to be able to touch it with her hand.

"Thank you, Derek, for helping me so much..."

His eyes lit up immediately, and the corners of his lips were tightened, and he couldn't hold back the smile: "No, I'm very happy to be able to help Ai Puli."

"Then let's go now and find the bishop!" Derek eagerly grabbed April's hand, trying to pull her away, "I know there is a back door here, and I won't be seen by that person, tell me Come."

Feitan sat on the sofa, and someone brought him a cold drink immediately.The weather has gradually turned hot. Fei Tan and Si Yue have been in the game for almost half a year. Although the progress of card collection is relatively slow, it is almost over.

He took out the designated card list made by the knight again and looked at it again. The sunlight reflected through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was bright and bright, and the momentary reflection on the white paper made him squint his eyes.There is a small rest area in the nose. The fragrance of coffee is mixed with the fresh fruity aroma. In addition to the sound of the wings of the white pigeons flying outside the window, the sound of the collision of the glass and the chassis is heard from the second floor above the head. Feitan could easily detect the slight sound of footsteps even on the thick woolen carpet.

He doesn't like this city very much. It exudes an aura that doesn't suit him from the inside out. This is a completely different disgust from the previous fairy tale city, but he can bear it for April.

As long as you can pass...

Fei Tan took another look at the knight's scrawled handwriting on the white paper, folded it up and put it in his pocket.

After just a few minutes, Fei Tan saw the administrator who brought April into the library unsteadily coming down from the second floor. He returned to the service desk and was teased by several staff members.

"Hahn, as soon as you see a beautiful girl, run out so aggressively, be careful not to be known by the curator!"

But they are all NPCs, I really don't know where they get so much gossip.

Fei Tan took a sip of the drink, and the coolness penetrated directly into his heart. He glanced at the group of administrators who were gathered together.

The administrator named Hahn looked blank: "...What are you talking about? I just went upstairs to sort out the messed up books. Where are the beautiful girls?"

Feitan put down the glass a little harder, and the bottom of the glass hit the table with a slam.

"Go out from here to the Central Avenue, and then go south along this road, and you will see the cathedral." Derek opened the locked back door with a spare key, carefully paying attention to the movement around him, looking left and right While preparing to step out the door, "Great, let's go."

"Derek." April blocked the narrow door frame with his arm, blocking Derek inside, "Thank you for your help."

"It's okay..." He scratched his hair, a little embarrassed.

"If this continues, if I leave and Feitan finds you..." April's words were interrupted by a wave of Derek's hand, she shook her head to stop him from speaking, her voice was quiet, "Although you have already been involved Yes, but it’s not too late to disconnect now. Derek, use this door as a limit, go back, if there is a fate in the future, I will definitely repay you.”

"Varied--!"

"You've never met me, and you don't know what I'm going to do. Go on with your happy days on Greed Island, Derek."

There were not many people in the church, and there was a little girl who might be a volunteer who was handing out brochures to passers-by. Seeing April approaching, she showed a shy smile.

"I have something very important, and I want to talk to the priest alone. I don't know how convenient it is for the priest now."

The little girl quickly led her into the church, and replied with some hesitation: "The priest is in the confession room now, and may not be able to come out for the time being..."

"It's okay, I happen to have something worrying and want to confess to the priest." Si Yue said this, sitting in front of the confession room, and said in a low voice, "Please bless the priest and allow me to confess..."

"May the Holy Spirit enlighten your heart so that you can sincerely confess your sins and accept the grace of the benevolent Heavenly Father." The voice from the small window was very old, but with an indescribable sense of compassion.

"For the sake of my family in another world, I used innocent people to get their sympathy and help, and then I broke my promise, and even abandoned the people in this world who treated me sincerely..."

"I just ask the priest to tell me where the road to another world is." April's tone was firm and forceful. Now that she had come here, she had no reason to look back. "How should I find the road to Kaga Hakusan?" .”

The priest was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Kaga Hakusan is the holy mountain of Kaga Hakusan, and no one is allowed to enter it. The one enshrined in it is the Great God of Hakusan Biba, who protects the spirit of the Holy Empire forever."

April's breathing became heavier all of a sudden, that's right, it was her, and only she could help her go back.

The church fell into silence, and April could even hear the delicate voice of the little girl distributing brochures at the door.

"When you leave this world, you will lose more than you imagined. Are you ready to abandon everything in this world?"

"I can't give up anything at all. Those are what I want, and I don't want to give up anyway. But in the end, I must make a choice."

"Since Kaga Hakusan was closed, you are the second person to find this place, so..."

The priest's old voice suddenly turned into a clear voice like a girl's oriole: "I'm about to embark on this road of no return, and until now I don't know if the decision I made is correct."

"The things I have decided are naturally correct, otherwise how will I get to the end of the road I decided on." Si Yue replied.

The priest coughed a little uncomfortablely: "This is her last answer. You got it right. If you insist on going in, leave your questions and answers for the latecomers."

Siyue felt as if something was stuffed into her nose, she was speechless, and something almost struggled to come out of her throat: "I abandoned everything in this world, is it right? "

Even if you can answer other people's questions so simply, how can you easily look away when the same thing happens to you.Siyue herself didn't know whether the choice she made was correct or not.

The priest came out of the small confessional room. He was gray-haired and dressed in a black monk's uniform, looking solemn and solemn: "My child, what is the answer you left behind?"

"I don't know..." April stood up, followed him into the cemetery behind the church, and watched him push aside a small lily bush, and a winding path appeared out of thin air, leading to the not far away The snow-capped Kaga Hakusan.

"I just know that since we've already arrived here, there's no way to turn back." As she said this, her figure disappeared on the path of white lilies.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, when you look up in April, you can see the huge red torii on the mountainside. From the dense branches, you can barely see the hidden main hall and the worship hall. There are hundreds of steps leading to the deep Shinto.

"Dratini, let's go home." Siyue reached out and touched the delicate Vengley box, opened it and released Dratini.Hai Long, who had been imprisoned for a long time, ran out quickly, flicked his tail in mid-air, and obediently rubbed against Si Yue.

Dazzling orange flames rose out of nowhere, Dratini carried April with a low cry, and flew towards the shrine.

As soon as he landed, April was surrounded by a group of guards holding spears. The gleaming blade pointed at April. The guards had a dull expression: "Who dares to trespass the forbidden area?!"

"I have the priest's permission to visit the Great God of Baishan Biba, can you let me know?" Siyue comforted the frightened and guarded Dratini, and said slowly.

Hearing such an answer, the guards hesitated to put down their weapons, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, flicked his weapon and walked in front: "Come with me."

In the main hall in the distance, a black shadow flashed through the window very quickly, but no one noticed it.The lights in the hall were dim, and the flickering candlelight reflected the smile on the lips of a woman in a gorgeous kimono.

Siyue was led into the main hall by a young girl wearing a priestess costume. There was a woman lying lazily on the main seat in front of her. Woolen cloth."

The hall was scented with aromatherapy, and the lingering light smoke wafted in the hall.Siyue sat on the cushion and asked eagerly, "Are you Ju Li Yuanming, the witch who can travel through time and space?"

"I'm right." Ju Liyuan nodded slowly, straightened up, and his frivolous posture finally appeared a little more correct, "What's the matter with you?"

"I was originally a soul from another world, and it was purely a coincidence that I came here. Ju Li Yuanming, since you can travel through time and space, can you help me return to my world?"

"Oh? Then do you have anything that can be exchanged?" Ju Liyuan smiled maliciously, her big eyes rolled around, revealing an indescribable cunning.

Si Yue was startled, and then slowly said: "As long as I have it, please take it, as long as you can help me go back."

"I like your voice, I can exchange it, and I can send you back." As soon as she finished speaking, she squinted at the curtain at the back of the hall, and she found that there was an unnatural movement there.

Si Yue didn't hesitate at all, her eyes lit up, and she was about to answer.Ju Liyuan licked her lips and waved her hand: "Forget it, I lied to you, I can't send you back."

"What—?!" Siyue stood up abruptly and exclaimed out of composure, raised her voice, and looked at her incredulously, "Impossible!"
