Little Priest's Cat Diary

As the night darkened, Antiste walked quickly through the corridors of the Sea God Temple.

He has a tall figure and a pair of extremely slender legs. He walked through the corridor in a few steps and came to the garden courtyard behind the Sea God Temple.

Because of his extremely fast pace, when he moved forward, the light-colored cloak flew up behind him.

The Templar Knights standing at the gate of the courtyard bowed to him.

The maids waiting outside the door bowed their heads and backed away.

Antiste nodded slightly, then stepped into the courtyard gate.

The garden is lined with trees and flowers are everywhere.

A faint fragrance lingers in it.

The faint sound of running water came from the depths of the courtyard, and when he walked over, he heard a familiar humming sound.

Walking around a rockery dotted with green vines, he looked up and saw the familiar figure standing not far ahead.

A man-made small waterfall flows from the rockery and falls into the pool below, splashing a little bit of water.

The green lotus leaves hold up the strings of water drops rolling on the leaves like pearls.

The boy with short blonde hair stood by the pool, stretched out a hand, and raised it in front of him.

A huge red fire deer stood in front of the young man, lowered its head, biting the honey cake held by the young man.

While biting, it groaned when it was touched by the boy's other hand, and acted like a baby while eating. It was also very busy.

With a smile on his face, the young man gently stroked the big horned deer's head, looking very happy.

Looking at the man and the deer, Antiste couldn't help but smiled slightly, and then walked over quickly.

"teacher."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mia, who was feeding the deer, turned her head to look over, smiled and shouted.

Antiste, who had already walked up to Mia, raised his hand and skillfully tapped his little disciple on the head with his fingers.

"I said, don't call me that outside."

He kowtowed to the young disciple's head.

After finishing speaking, he tapped harder again.

"Remember, there is no High Priest Itit here, only Antiste of the Temple Knights."

"...The Knights of the Temple would not be so bold as to knock Shao Ji on the head."

Mia, who was knocked twice in a row, muttered so unconvinced.

Seeing that Antiste raised his eyebrows, he quickly changed the subject.

"How was the result of today's assessment?"

Speaking of the assessment results, Antiste laughed again.

He spread his hands.

"Total extinction."

"Is that so..."

Mia sighed with emotion, pure emotion, not surprised.

He had known for a long time that those priests who were used to being pampered would not be able to run even [-] meters, let alone [-] meters.

"Although it's interesting to watch, but, Mia, what is your purpose for doing this?"

As the chief examiner in charge of the daily assessment, Antiste could see clearly.

This most basic selection criterion almost blocked all the original high-ranking priests.

Most of those who have passed the preliminary assessment are priests of the lowest level, or even not priests, and they are basically young people.

"What I want is not those who, in the name of tradition, rely on age and seniority to judge what I do."

"What I need are subordinates who can obey me and stand firm on my side no matter what happens."

Mia said seriously,

"I want to try to make changes to the Sea God Temple."

"Although it claims to be the temple closest to God, it is slowly decaying inside."

Stuffing the last bite of honey cake into the gluttonous deer's mouth, Mia looked at Antiste.

"Teacher, do you still remember why I became one of the young priests?"

Antiste looked at him without answering.

"At that time, the major forces in the Sea God Temple fought for power, oppressed each other, and checked and balanced each other. Therefore, I, a weak person without any background, was put on the chessboard by them as a chess piece that could be discarded at will."

When Mia said this, she smiled.

"It's just that they probably didn't expect that it was me, the most unlikely person, who was chosen by you, teacher, to become the real young priest."

"Presumably, they will be very upset."

"...Sure, otherwise I wouldn't have done such a thing in my ceremony."

That day, heavy rain came.

Countless sharks are coming.

At that time, he really thought that he would die in such an unbearable way.

He will never forget that day.

"At that time, I was thinking, I don't like such a temple."

Antiste raised his hand and stroked Mia's head.

He said softly, "Sorry."

When the child was in danger, he failed to guard him.

Mia shook her head.

"It has nothing to do with the teacher."

"In the original temple, many forces are already intertwined, and they are closely connected with the forces in the royal court."

"Under that situation, even you, the teacher, as the supreme high priest, cannot fully control the power of the temple."

"In this case, it is almost impossible to change."

Having said that, the boy's eyes lit up.

"But now is the best opportunity," he said.

Antiste also understood what Mia said.

Break and rebuild.

The original temple power has completely disappeared.

Now the power of the main temple is blank, it is the most suitable time to paint on it again.

only……

"But what is the purpose of your physical strength assessment this time?"

Although Antiste, who had been forced to hide his identity as a warrior, felt a strange sense of pleasure seeing the embarrassment of the once-pampered priests on the training ground, but he was still curious, what happened to Mia this time? What kind of priest do you want to select?

"Well, actually, this is also a little inspiration from your teacher, teacher."

Mia said.

According to his vision, in the future, the priests of the temple will be divided into two types according to the civil and military positions in the royal court, priests and war priests.

As the name suggests, priests are responsible for teaching teachings, and combat priests are naturally responsible for fighting.

Not only the battle priests, but also the priest priests also went out with the army.

For a small army, there must be a priest priest.

His main function is not to fight, but to boost morale and brainwash the soldiers... Cough, no, it is to pass on the divine will to the soldiers.

Looking at the Stonians who followed the great sage, you can understand how useful this kind of missionary behavior is.

For Sardis, who is destined to unify all the countries on the mainland in the future, in addition to the Ston people, he will definitely have fighters from many other countries and nationalities under his command.

The best way to integrate people from different countries and nationalities into Portoyas is to integrate those people into the culture of Portoyas.

And teaching is the best way to let everyone integrate.

Antiste lowered his eyes, quietly listening to what Mia said.

Mia looked at him with bright eyes.

"I want to build a brand new temple that is completely different from before."

Antiste looked into the eyes of his little disciple.

His azure blue eyes, though not sharp, were more translucent than anything else.

It's like the clear blue sky reflected on the sea after the heavy rain and the strong wind blowing away all the darkness and dirt.

Antiste's eyes softened.

"I'm just a temple knight who is responsible for protecting your safety, and I have no right to influence Shaoji's decisions."

he said with a smile.

"Now everything in the temple is up to you to decide."

The child's eyes were the same blue as his.

However, what the child saw was completely different from him.

As Sardis once said, he seems to be rebellious, but he still follows the so-called tradition and inherits everything that has been passed down to him since ancient times.

But Mia has the courage to break all the shackles.

Perhaps only this young child can break the ancient tradition, make changes, and give the ancient and antiquated temple a real new life.

"Do whatever you want."

Lifting his fingers and looking up at his pale golden forehead hair, Antiste leaned over.

His lips fell lightly on his disciple's forehead.

It was as if a long time ago, he passed through a group of teenagers, came to this child, and lowered his head to kiss the child's forehead.

He uttered the same words as before.

"Sepul will protect you."

"And I... no matter where you choose to lead the temple, I will always be by your side."

…………

........................

Originally, everyone thought that the war would stop temporarily, and Portoyas would usher in a short period of peace.

However, the behavior of the maverick Shaoji once again aroused heated discussions at home and abroad.

Some people say that this young priest is simply because he is too young, his mind is uncertain, and he is not suppressed by his elders, so he is more and more free-wheeling and willful.

The reason why he did this was purely because he liked to go to the battlefield, so he asked those who followed him to also go to the battlefield with him.

Some people joked that the priests under this young priest were not so much priests as generals.

They didn't see the noble and elegant demeanor that priests should have. Instead, they were stronger than each other, and they were better than each other.

If things go on like this, Podoyas's Sea God Temple probably won't know how many laughing stock it will attract.

However, the people who are using this incident as a joke at the moment don't know that in the future, other countries will feel the terror of the Podoyas Sea God Temple, which is like an army and prohibitive, imposing priests countless times.

And the terrible deceptive power of the priests and priests in this priesthood to civilians and slaves.

The shining hammer in the hands of each priest in this group of priests has become a very beautiful landscape among the Podoyas, and extremely terrifying in the eyes of the enemy.

Later, the hammer became the symbol of the priests of Portoyas, so that the pattern of the hammer was printed on the banner of the future temple.

At that time, a priest who had never smashed the head of an enemy with a hammer was not respected by anyone.

As for why the High Priest of Mia, who made changes to the temple, chose the hammer as a weapon for his priests, even though he was a good archer himself. In the future, many people will discuss this.

Some people say that he used a hammer to prove his determination to break the tradition and make changes.

Some people think that this was the decision he made in consideration of the types of troops Portoyas had at the time and wanted to supplement them.

Some people also said that it was because he regretted that he was not strong enough to use the hammer, so he pinned it on the priests under his command.

In short, opinions vary.

No one would know that someone... just because he was poisoned by a certain game, he felt that all battle priests should use hammers.

…………

In any case, that happened much later.

At this moment, people on the mainland have not discussed this matter for a few days, and an even more shocking news came out immediately.

Princess of Portoyas.

The woman who was said to have a beauty that surpassed that of a goddess, making all the men who saw her fascinated by her.

The woman who caused father and son to fight, monarch and minister to fight, and made the king of another country never forget to want to get it.

The 'unknown' woman who caused the destruction of one kingdom and almost brought the second kingdom to the brink of extinction.

died.

It is said that it was because he was frightened by the Sea People's attack, and later fled all the way to Schulte City, and fell ill due to lack of energy on the way.

The reason why he has not shown up in Schulte City is also because he is seriously ill and bedridden.

Later, because he was forced by King Nassar... he finally became depressed and died like this.

The legendary princess in mainland legends was despised by many people when she was alive.

Think she is a beauty.

Think she brings iniquity and destruction.

But what makes people feel ironic is that when the news of her death spread, everyone sighed and mourned her death with one voice.

After all, the death of a magnificent beauty always makes people feel sad and regretful.

However, the dead princess probably didn't care about the opinions of the world.

…………

The outside world is buzzing.

And in a remote place in Schulte City, there is a small temple standing there quietly.

Pieces of sala trees surround this small temple, sprinkled with patches of greenery.

In the courtyard inside the small temple, hollowed-out stone corridors hover in it.

Large swaths of wisteria flowers hang down from the top of the stone corridor, like a waterfall of lavender flowers.

When the wind blows, clusters of wisteria flowers gently flutter.

The tiny petals that were blown down floated in the air, and after spinning a few times in the wind, they fell lightly to the ground.

A small young deer leaned forward and lowered its head to bite the petals that fell on the ground into its mouth.

Chewed a few times and swallowed.

Then he lowered his head and continued to bite other petals.

A hand reached out and gently stroked the young deer's small head, which had not yet grown antlers.

That is a beautiful hand.

Slender and soft white, like carving white jade.

If you look up along that hand, you will be disappointed.

Because the owner of that extremely beautiful hand is just an ordinary woman.

The woman's hand gently caressed the deer, and the deer raised its head and rubbed its head against her hand.

There was an itching feeling in the palm of her hand, and the corners of the woman's lips curled up a little.Yuxi team organizes, please pay attention.

—Although it is only fleeting.

There are also several small deer in the courtyard. They roam freely in the courtyard, or kneel down on the ground, dozing lazily in the sun.

Either walking around, or concentrating on gnawing on the tender green grass and vines.

Among the group of small young deer, the huge beast looked very abrupt.

The big horned deer lowered its head and used its huge horns to push away the two young deer trying to get close to its little friend, preventing them from approaching.

After pushing it away, it leaned over to its little friend, and regardless of its size, it hummed shamelessly like those young deer.

That appearance seemed to be accusing and acting like a baby.

Mia patted the big horned deer's head amusedly, coaxed it for a while, and then looked at the ordinary-faced woman.

"Ms. Ola, please don't worry, Hidir said, your appearance can last for a long time, and he will come here every once in a while."

"If you need anything else, tell the little fat man who will come over often, and he will solve it for you."

After a pause, Mia continued.

"Ms. Ola, from now on, we will probably rarely see each other again."

'Death', this is the choice made by 'Princess Opelila'.

She chose her own future path with her own hands.

The woman who was stroking the fawn's head didn't look back, she focused on the fawn in front of her.

Those eyes finally no longer see anything.

At least for now, the deer's figure is reflected in her eyes, and maybe more things will be reflected in the future,

"Let's go, Mia."

A deep voice came from the side.

Sardis leaned back against the pillar on the side of the stone corridor with his hands folded and stood quietly for a long time.

At this time, he didn't even look at the woman standing there, while speaking, he reached out and grabbed Mia's wrist, and just dragged Mia away.

The big horned deer let out a cry, and followed closely behind.

Mia, who was dragged away by Sardis, glanced at Sardis, who was not looking back, and then looked back at the woman who was still standing still.

When he was thinking about how to make Sardis speak, Sardis suddenly stopped.

Sardis stood without looking back.

He said: "If there are no accidents, this should be the last time you and I will meet."

There was silence in the courtyard for a while.

There is only the rustling sound of the wisteria flowers when the wind passes by, and the occasional tender cry of the deer.

I don't know how long has passed.

Along with a gust of wind, a woman's inaudible voice came over.

She said, "...thank you."

Sardis stood, he still didn't look back.

Above his head, the waterfall-like wisteria flowers fluttered endlessly.

He gave a low laugh.

Tiny lavender petals brushed his cheeks and flowed by his blond hair.

"Goodbye, Mom."

he whispered.

Then, he tightly clenched the hand in his palm, as if holding his whole world, and strode out like this.

At this moment, he walked out of that woman's world forever.

He also walked out of the world that bound his young self for too long and forever.

【Goodbye, Mom. 】
