Little Priest's Cat Diary

Fanaya knelt down on the ground.

He was not the only one who was kneeling. A group of Hittayas headed by the priestess and officials of that city were all kneeling on the ground at this moment.

After staying in that city for more than ten days, Emperor Sardis was about to lead a group of cavalry back to the place where his army was stationed.

A group of cavalry stood motionless on the ground.

Nearly a thousand people and horses were neat and orderly, and they didn't make any noise.

This iron-blooded cavalry who has been fighting with Sardis all the year round has always been strictly disciplined and prohibited.

They are standing on the ground at this moment, like a stone statue standing on the ground.

Only the command of their sovereign can set them in motion.

The snow-white divine horse stood upright, its tall body looked extremely majestic among the many horses.

The blond-haired emperor is driving the steed below him.

The wind blowing from the distant sea lifted the cloak behind him, and his long golden hair was also flying up.

The silver-white armor on his body gleamed coldly in the sun. Although it was polished, it couldn't conceal the frightening aura formed by the armor's perennial bloodbath.

A sharp light, like a sharp sword.

Even if the young emperor didn't move and said nothing, just riding quietly on the ground and looking down at everyone, it gave people a strong sense of oppression, making people afraid to look directly at him.

The so-called intimidation and prestige, must be like this.

After saluting, Fanaya stood up with everyone.

He raised his head and looked forward.

His eyes fell on the young man who was riding with the great emperor in front of the great emperor.

The boy has the same blond hair as the emperor, but the color is much lighter and softer.

Under the pale golden hair, those blue eyes seemed to be the waves glistening under the bright light, carrying the gentlest touch of blue from the bottom of the sea.

Looking at those eyes, it was as if seeing the water and the sky melting into the blue sea and blue sky.

Not long ago, he was the one who brought the sleeping boy back from the bottom of the sea to the surface.

He watched the young man open his eyes and wake up from his deep sleep.

Therefore, he always felt that since he was the one who woke the child up, it was his duty and responsibility to protect the child.

Especially after he learned that the boy turned out to be the son of God who the Hitaya clan had been waiting for for thousands of years, he thought so.

It's just that the world is unpredictable.

In just a few days, the earthquake, heavy rain, and tsunami almost wiped out their entire clan. Although they escaped in the end, the big forest where the Hitaya clan lived for generations was completely submerged in the bottom of the sea, and they have never seen each other again. every day.

And the young man... Now he is going to leave with Emperor Sardis as the priest of the sea god of Portoyas.

"Meow~"

A soft meow sounded suddenly.

Fanaya saw the little black cat that was squatting on the shoulder of the priestess leap forward, ran over in a sprint, jumped higher, and jumped directly into the arms of the young man on horseback.

His heart moved, and before anyone else could react, he stepped forward quickly.

Mia lightly stroked the little black cat's satin-like fur. The little cat squinted its eyes and rubbed its fluffy head against the inside of his wrist.

It was more sensitive there, and when he was rubbed by the kitten, he felt a little itchy, which made him laugh.

When he laughed, the kitten raised its head, and its little paws climbed up his skirt.

Mia lowered her head subconsciously.

As soon as he lowered his head, the little black cat leaned forward and licked the boy's pale pink lips with his little pink tongue.

"Meow~~"

Before Mia could react, a big hand stretched out from behind and grabbed the little black cat by the nape of its neck.

Then, throw it forward.

The little black cat had just finished licking it, and before it even had time to lick it a second time, it was pinched by the nape of Destiny's neck, and in the next second, its entire cat had flipped in the air.

It drew an arc in the air, and was just caught by Fanaya who stepped forward.

Holding the little black cat who was still in a dazed state, Fanaya looked up.

His gaze met the boy who was looking over.

The young man's eyes were still the same as the moment he saw him open his eyes for the first time, with a blue color that was so clean and flawless that it made one's heart palpitate.

The boy looked at him, his eyes curved, and he smiled brightly at him.

He froze for a moment.

Then, he also smiled at the boy.

Fanaya thought, maybe this is the best way to say goodbye to him and the boy.

…………

Standing where he was, seeing Portoyas' cavalry guards disappear into the distance along with billowing dust, Fanaya felt a little lost for a moment.

The little black cat had already jumped out of his arms and disappeared without a trace.

Most of the people had dispersed, only he was still standing there in a daze.

At that time, a slap was slapped heavily on his back.

"Okay, mother hen who protects the calf."

His bad friend who grew up with him pouted at him.

"I know, you just picked up a baby, you like it very much, and you feel responsible, so you just want to protect the baby when it grows up."

"It didn't take long to find out that the baby belonged to another family and was taken away, so I felt very disappointed and melancholy, didn't I?"

His bad friend Shiva, who was not very serious, said some nonsense, which made Fanaya dumbfounded.

But maybe he was right about a thing or two.

The blue-eyed boy was like a treasure he had carefully brought back with his own hands.

He really... wants to take good care of him all the time.

Although what Shiva said before was far-fetched, but in the end, he became serious.

"The little priest has things he must do, and we also have things we must do."

"……Um."

The wind picked up and whizzed past the two standing on the ground.

Fanaya looked up and looked into the distance.

He saw that the land was boundless, like a vast ocean, with no end in sight.

On that piece of land, find a new place to live for the Hitaya family.

protect their tribe.

protect their people.

These are the things that young Hitayans like them must do.

The Hitaya family has been 'destroyed' under that new ocean, but it has also been reborn from the cocoon.

Their ancestors committed unforgivable sins thousands of years ago.

They are the offspring of sinners.

But the gentle boy finally chose to forgive.

Fanaya looked into the distance, the wind blew up his hair, and his gaze into the distance was extremely firm.

he thinks.

Unloaded the heavy shackles that their family had been carrying for thousands of years.

Even if there is no longer the protection of the gods, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, they still have to walk towards their future.

…………

………………

The sea breeze roared across the sea.

It passed high above the sea that had been a huge forest only days before.

Across the newly-born ocean, and across the prairie in the south that was also half-reduced to the ocean and now only half of it remains, he came to a small city on the edge of the prairie.

Because of the presence of nearly [-] troops, that remote and unprosperous small city is now full of people and crowded.

Especially in those few days, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.

It has been a long time since their lord, Sardis the Great, disappeared.

In the first two days, no one took it seriously.

Because they are all familiar with His Majesty's habit of visiting a place in person every time he conquers it.

They all obediently squatted in the city, waiting for His Majesty to return.

But suddenly one day, the situation between the sky and the earth changed color, thunder and lightning, torrential rain poured down, and there was a clear sense of earthquake coming from afar.

That is the direction from the Great Forest of Hitaya that His Majesty is going to!

The startled people immediately sent out with a large cavalry, and went north along the prairie to the Hitaya Forest to find their majesty.

However, after running less than half the distance on the prairie, they were stopped by an endless ocean.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They have surveyed the surrounding terrain for a long time, and they are very clear that it should be a grassland. How did the sea and land change into an ocean in just one day?

Moreover, the higher grasslands have become oceans, so the Great Hitaya Forest on the Sea of ​​the Cursed is probably completely flooded.

In this way, isn't His Majesty who is now in the forest——

This terrifying thought flashed through everyone's minds instantly.

Although no one said it.

They looked solemnly at the blue ocean that blocked them. After the generals got together to discuss, the two led the troops along both sides of the sea to search for news of His Majesty.

The others returned to the city with the army first, waiting for His Majesty's news with a heavy heart and apprehension.

Time passed day by day, batch after batch of people returned, and continued to send out to search in other directions, but still failed to get any news related to His Majesty.

The atmosphere in the city is becoming more tense and more chaotic every day.

In the Portoyas Empire, among the Portoyas army, Sardis the Great is the absolute master.

No one can break it.

With his own strength, he established and supported the huge empire of Portoyas that was just born.

He is the pillar of the empire.

Everyone is in awe of him.

His prestige is unmatched in the empire.

When he was there, the heaven and the earth were at peace.

But, once he's not here...

The emperor suddenly disappeared, and the people who had never encountered such a serious situation fell into chaos at the beginning because they were at a loss.

Fortunately, there were many talented people in the army, and the chaos was short-lived, and the previous stability was quickly restored.

However, with the passage of time, as the news of the majesty has not come back, as it has been confirmed that the Great Forest of Hitaya was buried in the seabed, as more and more people think that the young emperor has died because of the accident. In that small city, invisible wind and waves blew up little by little.

Some kind of invisible storm is slowly brewing.

In just five years, a vast territory was established, a huge empire and a brave army were established, and the territory of Portoyas was more than tripled.

Emperor Sardis was able to achieve the kind of outstanding achievement that attracted the attention of the whole world, which is inseparable from the soldiers under his command who are capable of fighting.

As we all know, Emperor Sardis has a lot of talents under his command.

Among the generals loyal to him, all of them are heroes of the time.

Especially the few generals who had the highest combat exploits and were thus recognized by Sardis as leading their own armies, each of them was a hero who could dominate one side.

While the territory of the empire is expanding rapidly, the army of the empire is also expanding rapidly.

Sardis has always only recognized talent, regardless of background, as long as he has the ability, he can be reused.

Therefore, in the army, more than half of the soldiers were not from the original Portoyas Kingdom.

As a result, the sense of belonging and loyalty of those soldiers was only aimed at the new Podoyas Empire and emperor, not the original Podoyas Kingdom.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the city gradually became weird and tense.

Something is stirring.

Sardis the Great died unexpectedly.

He has no heirs, let alone designate a successor.

The throne of such a huge empire is hanging in the air.

And this... is why the atmosphere is getting weird and tense.

The city is struggling to maintain a delicate balance.

It's just that a crack suddenly appeared in that delicate balance one day, and it became precarious.

…………

In the early morning of that day, the bright but not scorching sun shone on the earth.

It is the most suitable climate and the most comfortable time of the day.

However, in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, the air there was particularly dignified.

A group of generals stood in the square wearing armor, and the sunlight reflected the silver-white armor on their bodies with silver light.

The sky was clear and bright, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The five highest-ranking generals with heavy troops in their hands led their respective guards and stood in different positions of the square, facing each other two by two.

Two of them stand on one side, and the other three stand on the other side.

Although they were wearing the same silver-white armor, the situation looked like they were confronting each other.

After a long silence, one of the generals standing together was the first to speak to the red-haired general opposite.

"Although His Majesty handed over the military talisman to you, His Majesty must have never thought that he would..."

He paused, and changed his words.

"Will be missing for so long."

He stared at the red-haired general and said, "It's not suitable for soldiers to stay in your hands for a long time."

Every time Sardis leaves the army due to temporary errands, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy when he leaves, he randomly selects a general before leaving and temporarily grants him a soldier talisman so that he can take charge of the overall situation in the army and carry out unification. command.

After he returned to the army, he would naturally take back the soldier talisman.

Of course, each time the process will not exceed two days, so other generals will not have much opinion.

However, now that the soldier talisman that symbolizes commanding them has been in the hands of his colleagues at the same level for half a month, the other generals have begun to have opinions.

After all, holding a soldier talisman is the supreme commander of the army, and can command them in name.

But these generals were already in a state of competing with each other and were not convinced by each other.

Everyone is proud and confident. They all think that they are the strongest generals in the empire. How can they let the other party overpower them?

not to mention……

His Majesty has not heard from him for half a month, and it is almost certain that something happened to him.

Now, those who can control the [-] troops have a great possibility of controlling the entire empire!

To be the ruler of that vast empire—

That possibility is enough to stimulate anyone's deepest ambition and desire.

Li Lingzhi fainted.

No matter how loyal or rational a person is, there will be a moment when they will be dazzled by it, and they can't help fantasizing about the blood-pulsing scene.

What's more, these generals who already have extremely high power?

The so-called arrogant soldier, how can he be brave if he is not proud?

The more powerful a person is, the more proud he is, and the more unwilling he is to submit to others.

...Under the solemn atmosphere, among the people standing here, I don't know how many people have moved this thought.

The red-haired general smiled.

"It's not suitable for me, why? Is it suitable for you?"

Although he was smiling casually, he was frowning in his heart.

He thought that yesterday he was a little impatient when he used the military talisman to order someone to lead the army back to the country on the grounds that he had informed the people in the royal city that His Majesty was missing.

No one said anything about the red-haired general's questioning.

At this point, everyone is very cautious.

After all, if one is not careful, I am afraid...

After a while, the oldest general said: "Who should hold the soldier talisman will be discussed later. No matter what, you should take it out first."

The red-haired general was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head.

"It was given to me by His Majesty himself, and only His Majesty can take it away from me."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air sank, as if it had froze.

The eyes of the three generals facing him became cold and severe.

Among the three, the most robust general with a full beard took a step forward impatiently, and the silver armor on his body made a clanging sound.

"You and I are both working under His Majesty's command. We are at the same level. Why should I obey you?"

He let out the words so carelessly.

"Let me take orders from others, it is better to take them myself."

He exclaimed angrily,

"I'm not going back to China! I'm going to find His Majesty! Who knows what selfishness is hidden in the military order you gave me?"

While yelling angrily, he pulled out his sword with a clang and pointed it at the red-haired general.

The sharp sword shone in the sun, and everyone was shocked.

In the next second, there was the sound of clashing weapons.

Just like a chain reaction, the battle-tested generals instantly showed their sharp blades and tensed their bodies under the instinctive reaction of their bodies.

When the red-haired general saw that the bearded general came directly with his sword drawn, his heart skipped a beat.

The bearded man is definitely not as rough and nervous as his appearance. Under His Majesty, a general who is purely rude and has no IQ will definitely not be able to sit in the position of general.

The bearded man can be said to be the least powerful of the five, so he decided to send him away first.

That person's seemingly reckless behavior now, is he really angry because of his order, or is it because that guy is also thinking about something in his heart, so he acts recklessly on purpose to confuse the water?

In any case, he had no time to think about it at the moment.

Now that the weapon has been brightened, I am afraid it will not be easy to be good again.

The scene that was barely able to maintain a delicate balance before suddenly became tense.

A cold light refracted by the sharp blade shone in everyone's eyes.

The situation is tense to the extreme.

Perhaps in the next second, the scene will completely get out of control.

Right at this moment-

A black light roared from the sky.

Like a thunderbolt, it drew a long arc in the air.

With a loud bang.

With a bang from the sharp gun that fell from the sky, the ground was smashed to pieces.

Nearly one-third of the gun body was submerged into the hard slate floor.

The strong remaining energy made the pitch-black gun body exposed outside the stone ground tremble slightly, making an inaudible buzzing sound.

The whole square was silent.

The atmosphere that was on the verge of getting out of control the moment before was shattered by this sudden shot.

All eyes were focused on the half of the gun shaft inserted into the rocky ground.

The red-haired general's heart skipped a beat.

Is it—

At that moment, the sound of a horse's hoof was heard in the silent square.

pat, pat.

At the entrance of the square, a horse with a mane like snow came slowly on the blue-gray stone slab.

With a high head and a proud posture, he treats everyone as nothing.

The young emperor rolled over from his horse.

With a wave of his hand, his long blond hair swept a gold-like arc in the air along with the flying cloak.

The emperor with his boots on the ground looked up, and he stretched out his arms to the blue-eyed boy on horseback.

Like holding a treasure in his heart, he caught the jumping boy, and then gently placed him on the ground.

His movements are indescribably gentle.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at the boy who had already landed, his eyes were soft like the gentle sunshine falling on him and the boy at this moment.

The boy looked up at him, with a worried look on his face, and whispered something to him.

He smiled.

Facing the boy, his smile was like the warm wind in early spring.

After that smile, he looked up.

Something invisible suddenly trembled.

The air around the young emperor completely changed when he raised his head.

The whole square seems to change from the warm sun in early spring to the ice and snow in winter in a second.

It was as if an invisible cold wind whizzed by.

Sardis raised his head, his eyes swept across the square indifferently.

He glanced at everyone.

Just a glance.

In the next moment, there was no one standing in the huge square.

Everyone has bent down and knelt down to the ground.

They bowed their heads deeply and reverently to welcome the return of their emperor.
