Little Priest's Cat Diary

Time is always powerful.

Many unaccustomed at the beginning, as time goes by, gradually become habits.

He has been used to being alone for more than 30 years, and Sardis himself never imagined that one day, he would allow another person to follow him every step of the way.

Yes, almost inseparable.

Go in, go out, sleep together.

If it were him a month ago, he would never believe that he could do this.

Thinking of this, Sardis glanced at the boy lying beside him.

He was processing paperwork here, and the young man was lying on the sapphire platform with soft cushions next to him, with his head on his side resting on his arms, and a pair of raised calves dangling boredly.

Sunlight shone down from the skylight on the roof of the government building, and penetrated through the transparent body of the young man.

The young boy who was shaking his feet once and for a while now looked like a kitten basking comfortably in the sun with his boneless and lazy appearance, and he almost didn't let out the sound of mia mia.

Although seeing this kind of scene more than once, Sardis always finds it strange.

Doesn't it mean that the soul cannot see the light?

Why does this look so comfortable in the sun?

The administration room was quiet as usual.

Although there were more than a dozen people in the room, and people kept coming in and out, no matter who they were, they all acted lightly, as lightly as possible, so as not to make abnormal noises.

You know, when His Majesty is in a bad mood, if you accidentally make a strange noise, you may die because of it.

Although His Majesty has not been as irritable and irritable as before, many years of experience have made everyone tense up when serving His Majesty, trembling and not daring to relax in the slightest.

Because it is not clear when any of them will offend His Majesty because of a trivial matter, and thus die.

Just when Sardis was about to end the day's political affairs, a waiter suddenly ran in and hurriedly handed over a new paperwork report.

The attendant was kneeling when he presented the document, and his expression was a little strange, as if the document that was held high above his head was not a light piece of paper, but something extremely heavy.

Naturally, Sardis would not notice the look of a mere attendant, and took the document casually.

With just a glance, his original casual eyes changed.

Some kind of strong emotion surged deep in his eyes, like a monster that was quietly lurking in the dark trench turned over.

But even if he just turned over, the infiltrating aura emanating from his body was enough to make the entire sea area shudder in an instant.

He gave a low laugh.

The voice was very soft, but cold sweat broke out instantly on the forehead of the attendant who was kneeling in front of him.

The already silent room froze in an instant with Sardis's low laugh.

Although the others didn't quite know what the content of the document was, but seeing the pale face of the attendant kneeling in front of Sardis sweating profusely, they all involuntarily stopped their movements, held their breath, and lowered their heads deeply. Go, dare not look up again.

The boy who was lazily lying on the side felt the suddenly depressing atmosphere in the room, and immediately raised his head to look at Sardis.

Sardis raised his eyes and met the blue eyes that looked at him in confusion.

His expression was indifferent, showing no emotion.

Then he lowered his head, wrote a few words on the paper, and then stamped a blood-red seal on the document with the ring on his finger.

This is Wang Ling.

A royal decree that must be carried out.

The act of Sardis stamping the seal was understated, and the action of throwing the document to the kneeling attendant was also extremely casual.

His expression was so calm that he didn't even move his eyebrows, as if the content on the paperwork was just a trivial matter like everyday food.

Then he got up, raised his hand and made a gesture of ending the day, and left the seat.

No one noticed that after leaving their seats, His Majesty waved his right hand casually in the air when he passed the small stone platform for rest.

It seems to have patted something in the void.

Seeing Sardis beckoning him to leave, Mia turned over from the cushion and got off the ground, followed Sardis for a few steps. For some reason, he felt something was wrong and looked back.

The room was still very still.

He saw that attendant was still kneeling on the ground, holding the document that Sardis threw to him in both hands.

He only glanced at it, and before he could take a closer look, he heard a low hum from ahead, obviously urging him to follow impatiently.

Mia had no choice but to turn around and chase after Sardis who had already walked out of the side door.

"Is there any trouble?"

He couldn't help asking.

"A little thing."

Sardis didn't look back, he spoke lightly.

"Aren't you going to the Sea God Temple? Come here quickly."

"what--"

Mia immediately forgot what happened just now, and trotted after Sardis.

Sardis glanced sideways at the young man who was chasing after him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

The palpitating ferocious aura in his eyes was concealed under his faint smile.

……

There was still silence in the government room, and the kneeling attendant slowly stood up.

His face was a little pale. He looked at the blood-red seal on the document, and his hands holding the document trembled uncontrollably.

It was clearly just a piece of paper, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hands.

It was almost unbearable for him.

He dragged his heavy steps and walked out slowly.

On his way to the door, another person who passed by him couldn't help but glance at the document quickly.

The blood-red seal on the snow-white paper was extremely dazzling.

With just one glance, the man's face lost all color in an instant, his eyes were full of horror, and he couldn't recover from standing there for a long while.

Someone asked him in a low voice what was written on it.

The man's lips trembled, he shook his head vigorously, and retreated quickly as if fleeing.

Only the others were left blankly, looking at each other.

……

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

Mia has never understood why she appeared in this world.

How long will he stay in this world?Will he return to his original world?

And, what happened to Sadie in the world where he died?

After thinking for several days, he finally thought of a way - he could go to his teacher.

Although half of his teacher's skill points were shifted from the priest point to the general, but no matter what, he was the high priest of the sea god.

Mia has already vaguely felt that his coming to Portoyas should have something to do with the sea god that Portoyas believed in.

That being the case, he failed to return to his original world this time, but came to this wrong world line. Could it be related to this god?

That being the case, the High Priest of the Sea God should be able to sense his existence to some extent.

At first, Mia wanted to secretly go to the Sea God Temple to find someone behind Sardis's back, but after trying, he realized that he seemed unable to leave Sardis too far away.

He had no choice but to tell Sardis frankly that he wanted to go to the Sea God Temple and let him take him there.

In this regard, Sardis was noncommittal.

His original words were—maybe the power of the temple can purify the ghosts.

Mia: "..."

You are the ghost and your whole family are ghosts!

Mia swears and curses in every possible way to ensure that she is not a ghost.

Look, how can a ghost like to bask in the sun?

He pestered Sardis for several days, Sardis did not let go, he was worried, Sardis suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not delay a minute, took him to go after lunch the Sea God Temple.

The emperor's tour should have been a grand event.

But Sardis was familiar with the road, casually brought a few caring knight guards and left the palace.

No one dared to dissuade at all.

Sardis rode his horse galloping on the wide road, and Mia sat behind with her hands tightly around Sardis' waist.

Because there is no reason to clear the road, there are not many people walking on the road.

Along the way, he saw people on the avenue fleeing to the side of the road in panic as soon as they saw Sardis, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, lowered their heads deeply, and pressed their foreheads to the ground.

Everyone's face was full of horror, and their bodies exuded fear of their majesty.

Miya's eyes dimmed for a moment.

He remembered that in another world, when Sardis returned from victory and rode across the avenue, the cheers of the people on the side of the road resounded from heaven to earth.

That is the admiration and belief of the people of Portoias for their king.

But in this world, people only have deep awe and fear for their emperor.

Mia pursed her lips.

It's ok.

He thought, these days, although Sardis has a very violent temper, he wanted to kill people several times because of trivial matters.

But as long as he went to stop him, although Sardis was a little dissatisfied, he still didn't kill him in the end.

Just take your time...

Mia was thinking, when suddenly the horse stopped.

It turned out that he had already reached the arched gate of the Sea God Temple.

Sardis got off his horse, casually threw the reins to a knight behind him, and strode straight in without looking at the panic-stricken people bowing to him in front of the gate of the Sea God Temple.

Inside the Sea God Temple, Sardis strode all the way, and met many priests along the way, all kneeling down in a hurry to salute.

As Sardis walked, he seemed to be casual, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the young man looking around.

After confirming that the boy was not affected in any way in the temple, he looked away from the boy.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Can you take me to meet the high priest?"

Sardis paused in his footsteps.

"Nothing."

"what?"

"There is no high priest anymore."

"But, but, I remember that there should be a high priest..."

Mia stuttered in surprise.

"The former high priest went to the battlefield more than ten years ago and died in battle."

"..."

Mia was silent for a long time before asking in a low voice, "What about the next high priest?"

"No."

"why?"

"I hate theocracy, which suppresses kingship."

Sardis replied lightly.

"I don't need the existence of the High Priest."

The high priest, second only to the existence of the king.

Possesses a huge temple power, and has a great influence among believers.

Therefore, he did not appoint a high priest.

Portoyas may have priests, but there will be no high priests.

"However, the existence of the high priest is also an important spiritual sustenance for many Portoyas people. If it does not exist, they may feel uneasy because of it."

Sardis turned his head to look at Mia, and he smiled.

"Will they be uneasy, what does it have to do with me?"

"........."

Mia didn't speak again.

He didn't know what to say.

The emperor in front of him never cared about his people.

He created this empire never for the sake of the prosperity of Portoyas, he just wanted to fight as he pleased.

He just loves the killing and the blood on the battlefield.

He laid down a huge empire, and his name shook the whole earth, but he couldn't see the exhaustion of his people, and he couldn't see the longing in their hearts.

He just indulged himself, recklessly enjoying the drug-like addiction that war brought him.

Mia didn't know what to say for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the familiar scenery around him.

After he entered the Sea God Temple, he had a strange feeling. Even though the scenery here hardly changed, he just felt that it was very different from the Sea God Temple he grew up in.

He couldn't tell what was different.

It seems... something is missing.

There is a certain sense of peace and calm that hangs over the land.

The priests in the temple seemed to have lost something forever.

Mia looked at the water temple not far away in a daze, and could faintly hear the sound of the Fadagaro River flowing from the water temple.

He thought that in this world, the ancient ballad of the sea that Portoyas has passed down since ancient times has probably not sounded in the sky and ocean for a long time.

I am afraid that the dolphins will no longer follow the singing to this ancient city.

The city of Portoyas, this lost city, may have lost God's favor and protection forever.

…………

On the way back, Mia saw the townspeople on the side of the road again.

Even if it became the imperial capital of a huge empire, even if more than ten years have passed, the city does not seem to have changed much.

No.

no change.

The feeling of being thriving and full of vigor, as if having an infinite future, disappeared.

Although the city is still prosperous and magnificent, it is very depressing.

Although the city residents still had enough food and clothing, there was only anxiety and confusion on their faces. Even in those young children, there was hardly any anger.

It was as if an invisible giant mountain was pressing on them, making them breathless and making the city lifeless.

This is a city shrouded in fear and insecurity.

Mia saw the lifeless faces and eyes of the people along the way, and her heart kept sinking.

He thought he'd have a good talk with Sardis tonight.

It can't go on like this.

If this continues, not only the city, the empire, and even Sardis himself--

Just before returning to the gate of the palace, before he had time to go in, suddenly a knight came galloping fast on horseback.

He got off his horse and knelt down on one knee in front of Sardis.

He said, "Your Majesty, General Faer is ready."

The name made Mia's heart skip a beat, but after thinking about it, she resisted asking.

It's fine for him to know the high priest, but Faer has only emerged in the past ten years, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't know.

Sardis hummed.

He glanced at Mia standing beside him, and his eyes moved.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and said to Mia in a very soft voice: "I still have things to deal with, you go back to the room to rest first."

After speaking, without waiting for Mia to answer, he got on his horse and galloped away.

Mia watched Sardis leave helplessly.

He was a little confused.

He thought, tried it himself, and couldn't leave Sardis too far.

So now Sardis ran away by himself, and he couldn't keep up, and he didn't know where Sardis had gone, so what would happen next?

Just as he was thinking this, a severe dizziness suddenly came up.

His head was dizzy, and his vision gradually blurred.

Eventually, he lost consciousness completely.

……

…………

"Hey……"

In a trance, it seemed that someone around him wanted to wake him up.

"...Why are you here..."

It was a voice he was very familiar with.

Along with this familiar voice, there were countless voices ringing in his ears.

Crying, weeping, hysterical roaring, desperate and crazy cries.

All the sounds gathered together poured into his eardrums like magic sounds, making him have a splitting headache.

The flames flickered in front of his eyes.

"Hey!"

"!!"

Miya opened her eyes abruptly.

The swaying flame pierced his pupils, making him close his eyes subconsciously again.

"How will you be here?"

Sardis' voice rang in his ears.

"Didn't I tell you to go back to your room?"

Although she was blinded by the flames, Mia could still see and feel her current situation the moment she opened her eyes.

He didn't know what happened, and he was on horseback again.

Only this time he was sitting in front of Sardis, leaning against his chest.

"I do not know either……"

Before he could finish speaking, another sharp cry pierced his ears.

Miya opened her eyes abruptly.

The scene in front of him made him freeze on the spot.

Surrounded by a boundless dense forest, and in front of his eyes was a huge pit valley.

Countless people stood under the pit valley.

It was so densely packed that you couldn't see the head at a glance, there were tens of thousands of people.

The high-raised torches flickered along the edge of the pit valley, winding out in the dark night, showing a huge arc.

Soldiers holding torches stood on the edge of the valley, looking down at the people under the valley.

The people in the pit valley were crying, some were kneeling and begging for mercy, kowtowing their heads again and again, their faces were already dripping with blood; some were roaring and cursing in despair; Crying loudly; some people desperately tried to climb up the pit wall, but were shot back to the bottom of the valley by the soldiers by the pit.

The pale moonlight fell in the pit valley, reflecting the faces of the people under the pit valley into a pale tone.

On the bodies of these people and the ground under their feet, the greasy light reflected dazzlingly under the moonlight.

On one side of the edge of the valley, the black-haired general who stood coldly in the night, the black-haired general in black armor as if blending into the night, raised his hand.

The soldiers surrounding the valley raised their bows.

The flashing arrow pointed at the people in the valley.

As long as there is an order, the cold iron will mercilessly penetrate the countless flesh and blood in the pit valley.

"Do not……"

Miya's pupils suddenly dilated.

"no!"

The boy turned his head abruptly, and grabbed Sardis's lapel vigorously.

"Sardis! Tell them to stop!"

He stared at Sardis with wide eyes, and spoke hastily.

"You can't do that!"

"This kind of brutal thing... definitely shouldn't be something you can do!"

Whether it was his fingers tightly clutching Sardis's skirt, or the incoherent voice, there was a slight tremor.

"Sardis! Stop—you can't—"

Sardis looked down at the boy in front of him.

Blonde hair fell in front of his eyes.

As bright as the blond hair was in the firelight, so dark were the shadows in his eyes.

"Mia."

Mia froze suddenly.

He looked up at Sardis.

His eyes were wide open, and the familiar face was reflected in his pupils.

The snow-white moonlight penetrated his eyes, making him extremely pale.

Sardis looked down at Mia, his eyes were very pale and cold.

His voice is very low, very light.

But there is a sense of oppression that makes people's hearts tremble uncontrollably.

"Why do you think... you can order me?"

A horn sounded.

Thousands of arrows fired.

Arrows rained down.

The people who were driven to the bottom of the pit and had nowhere to escape fell under the sharp arrows in despair.

In an instant, corpses littered the field.

The sound of crying and whining was endless.

Blood stained the ground at the bottom of the valley.

The pale moonlight illuminated the dazzling blood red above the earth.

The so-called purgatory on earth is nothing more than this.

The boy's empty pupils reflected the man's shadow.

Vaguely, it overlapped with the young face in memory.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to make a sound.

But he still didn't say anything after all.

The slender eyelashes trembled feebly, and the boy closed his eyes.

Boom.

Behind him, the flames ignited from the valley filled the sky, reflecting the entire sky in the dark night red.

It also reflected the youth's transparent figure into a fiery red color like blood.

【Why do you think that you can disobey my order? 】

——Why do you think that you can order me? ——
