crown of thorns

The author has something to say: Introduction to the plot: Raziel goes to Meiquan to make a wish, can his wish come true?

Concerning Joseph: May the LORD bless his land with the treasures of the heavens, with the dew, and with the springs hidden in the ground.

……………………………………………——The Bible Old Testament Deuteronomy

There is a spring in heaven called Meiquan.The spring water appears and disappears from time to time, and there is a small light running in the area close to the ground.At that time, the boundaries of the heavens were not clear, and during the day, the sun's rays moved close to the ground, covering up the moonlight, so that people could not see the moon.And at night, the great light [Note: refers to the sun] reaches the stars, so its light is like a star in the sky, and the moonlight is prosperous.When the moonlight is in full bloom, the spring water will appear. You have to follow the path of the moon, because the beautiful spring follows the moonlight.

The waxing and waning of the moon is a sign that the Lord warns people of the impermanence of fate in the night. Therefore, when the moon is waning, if you drink from this spring, you will get sick or have disasters.And when the moon is full, this spring water can cure people's poverty and wash away their sins.

For it was rumored among the angels that when the moon is full, one may make a vow to the spring, and if the heart is sincere, the vow will be heard by the LORD.Therefore, angels who cannot meet the Lord directly often run to the spring to make a wish during the full moon.

I often think that such rumors are just mere rumors, and I don't take them seriously.Mostly because I used to have a high status, I always felt that I should tell God directly if I had something to do, and I didn’t have to do such things.However, now that my status is very low, and this rumor is popular among the lower-ranked angels, I also became curious and wanted to take a look.

"What's your wish, teacher?" Nantelle was quite interested in such strange stories and went there many times.I'm afraid every time I want to be promoted as soon as possible, but it still hasn't been realized in the end.

I was very skeptical about the efficacy, so I said to him, "Just go and see. I don't have any wishes right now."

"Ah, I thought the teacher's wish would be different from ours."

I smiled at him and said, "Anyway, tomorrow is the full moon, so I'll go with you to have a look."

In the evening of the next day, he and I closed the gate early, put up a closed sign at the gate, and ran to Yue's feet.When I went there, I realized that there were a lot of angels there.

"Now there are more than 70 angels." I just realized that the number of angels in the kingdom of heaven cannot be compared with that of more than 200 years ago, and [-]% of them are lower-level angels. Therefore, during the full moon, there are countless angels.

The angels moved along with the moon, the moon was bright and clear, and directly below it was a dark river, which seemed to flow continuously with the moon.At the end of the river is the source of the river water, which is the well-known beautiful spring.

Angels are creatures that should be satisfied, but after all, the lower angels are similar to humans and are very incomplete, so there are still many messy wishes.For most angels, they don't have any excessive desires, just praying for a peaceful and beautiful life, that's about it.However, the days of angels are quite peaceful and beautiful, so I think that the so-called quite effective theory is just self-deception.

I fly forward.Nantelle shouted after me: "Master, sir, it's almost time!"

"What time?"

"At midnight, legends are most effective, so all the angels plan to make a wish as soon as midnight arrives. To make a wish, one must pluck one of his own feathers, blow his wish into this feather, and then throw the feather into the spring."

"I don't make a wish, I just look at it." I said to Nantelle.

"I've come here, it's a pity not to make a wish! Next time I have to wait a month."

Suddenly, an exclamation erupted from among the angels, as if someone had come.I only heard some of the angels shouting: "His Royal Highness is coming." All the angels bowed to him one after another.Some went up to ask, "Why is Your Highness the clerk here?"

I thought to myself, why didn't I get such good courtesy when I was a clerk.Of course I'm just curious, not jealous.Maybe in response to Michael's words, the angels bullied me to be thin?I'm afraid it's more likely that the level and status at that time were not as detailed and precise as they are now.

But after all, they are angels, if we want to talk about absolute dignity, there is no such thing.There are not a few people who look down on Enoch as a mortal, and I can tell at a glance that many of them are chatting on their own and don't take Enoch seriously at all.Alas, it depends on the character of the angel to determine the relationship.

Enoch bowed to all the angels and said, "Because I think that my age is fixed, and I must die in the future. I want to see as much as possible around the kingdom of heaven before I die. I heard that there is a magical spring here, so I come here to see it."

What a mortal man!Some angels said this in spiritual language, because mortals cannot hear spiritual language, he yelled in spiritual language, we all heard it, and many angels burst out laughing.Some, seeing that Enoch could not hear the words spoken with the spirit, became presumptuous and talked about how a mortal was worthy of being a clerk.

Everyone kept silent on the surface and looked at Enuo with a smile. In fact, the spiritual language was already fried, and some of them became more and more embarrassing. If I spoke for Enuo at this time, I would probably be despised by them.Ever since that pain more than 200 years ago, I have adopted the strategy of no one offend in heaven.But I couldn't bear to see them say that, so I had an idea and shouted to them: "The time is coming!"

Upon hearing this, all the angels quieted down, yes, why are you chatting nonsense when the hour is approaching, everyone looked serious, and the team slowly followed Yue's whereabouts.

At the time of the child, there was an angel in heaven who told the hour, and told the hour to all the heavens, and praised the LORD three times.

All the angels pulled out their feathers one after another, held them in their hands and closed their eyes to make a wish.

"Teacher, make a wish quickly." Nanteli made a wish by himself after urging.

To be honest, I don't have any special wishes, but since I'm here, I don't want to waste the opportunity.I thought about it, now Lucifer is the only one who is not perfect, so I might as well make a wish for him.

"Lord Lord, please set Lucifer free. Amen."

After I made my wish, I blew into the feather and put the feather into the spring water. At that time, there were thousands of silvery spots in the spring water, which were the down feathers of the angel. "It's really beautiful." Enoch admired, "It turns out that the angels make wishes like this." He picked up a pen to record this scene, and after writing it down, he left thoughtfully.

All the angels chatted happily for a while, and then they all dispersed.

Lucifer, I sincerely wish him to be free and safe.

I went back to the residence, washed up, and said to Michael's portrait, "Michael, I'm sleeping peacefully." Then I rested.Days are still going on like this, so it's no different from usual.Nantre is lazy, so the lending and returning of books is all done by myself.Flying up and down every day is tiring.In addition, the number of angels has increased to more than 70, and the library's lending volume has also greatly increased.In the past, there might not be one in a day, but now there are more than a hundred at least.I have a literary name outside, so I still have people visiting me from time to time.

Raphael has now built a large garden behind the Chamomile Academy, called Yarrow.The garden is full of various medicinal herbs and tea leaves, and some college students will drink their newly planted tea leaves with me when they come to see me.

Of course, I also received love letters.

More than once.

I burned them all with a smile. Most of them were readers who had read my books or college students who had met me and thought I was beautiful.Among the lower angels, my appearance is indeed much superior to them.There are quite a few lower-ranking angels who love the upper-ranking angels, but they are basically afraid to write love letters to them.But my rank is not high, but my appearance is as high as that of the upper class, so I wrote a love letter to me.Some wrote a lot without getting tired of it. If this kind of obsession persisted, I rejected him in person.I think these new angels are immature, so I never agreed.

In the past few days, I have been working at the front desk, classifying books, and writing, so I feel that there are not enough people.And there are more angels, and my library doesn't have one more angel.If you are really too busy, you can only ask Nantelie for help.

But this guy will pretend to be asleep if he sees something being moved.Of course, he saw that I was really too busy, so he would help.

But if you really want him to do something, you are very worried.He is careless and prone to accidents.Flying is not a problem at first, but the trouble is flying around with a pile of books.Nantle is now quite strong, and Guishu is very careless.If the bookshelf collapsed, the two of us would have an extra busy day, except for a string of ellipsis flying overhead.

The bookshelves of the St. Brunswick Library are each twenty cubits high [Note: Ancient Hebrew measurement unit, twenty cubits is about ten meters], and it is not a joke to collapse one of them.

But at the busiest time, accidents will happen.That day, because it was the year-end assessment of the college students, there was an endless stream of angels who came to borrow and return books. I could not be divided into two halves. While receiving them, I handed over the returned books to Nantel. He returned for an hour. I felt so tired that I climbed on the shelf and fell asleep.Unfortunately, I thought he was working hard.

When the crowd thinned in the evening, I closed the museum for a rest. I was about to check on Nantlie's work, but I found this guy fell asleep.

"Nantlie!" I was still a little angry and called his name.

Nantelie didn't respond, so I leaned closer to his ear and shouted, "Nantlie!"

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw my appearance, "Wow!" He let out a scream.With this scream, his center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall off the shelf. He grabbed the bookshelf with his hands, but he didn't expect...

With a "boom", the bookshelf was collapsed by Nantel...

……

In fact, I am not without temper at all times. I shouted at him: "You go to Raguel's tomorrow to reflect on yourself!"

Nantelle bowed his head and apologized to me.

"There's no way."

Let's clean up this mess first.I was thinking like this, and when I looked up, a bright light shot out from the wall behind the bookshelf, and a...

"Lucifer??"

"Cough cough cough cough! Ash...cough cough...too much dust!" Lucifer patted the dust off his body.

"Where did the ashes come from in the kingdom of heaven?" Nanteler asked, "Also, who are you?"

"There's too much dust in the walls...cough...." Lucifer said angrily, "Ah, you guy, it seems that the angels have come out to the sixth generation now, right? I'm not familiar with it anymore."

"Lucifer??!" I was surprised and delighted, "Aren't you imprisoned in the heavens? How could..."

Lucifer resumed his flat and glamorous tone: "God will not put me under house arrest. I just closed myself in the library. Anyway, He wanted me to reflect on myself. Since I want to close up, I should just let it go." .”

"This...so you've been here all this time?" I was relieved and didn't know what to say.

"Yeah, I've been hiding in this wall all this time." Lucifer smiled at me.

"Teacher, who is this angel?" Nantele was puzzled.

"Ah, he is..." I was about to answer but was interrupted by Nantelle.

"Wait a minute? So, you've been hiding in this wall?" Nanteli said.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"It's a big problem!" Nantelier stared at Lucifer, "Behind this wall is the inner hall, and the teacher's room is in the inner hall on the second floor. Do you dare to spy on the teacher? Tell me! You Are you peeping on the teacher?"

"Pfft..." Lucifer laughed suddenly, it was the first time I saw him so happy, "Yeah, I've been peeking at it for more than 200 years."

"You guys can't really spy on me." If it is true, this is ridiculous, I demanded.

Suddenly, Lucifer started laughing, covering his stomach. I have never seen such a smile on his peaceful face: "Raziel...Rachel, to be honest, you are really serious when you are serious. Yes, it was really interesting...lol..."

"Interesting?" I glared at him, "I mean it!"

"No, absolutely not, I swear. I'm just retreating." Lucifer firmly denied it, and I believed him tentatively.Although many years later, I will feel extremely naive for this tentative belief.

"No, we can't just let it go! Peeping at other angels will be punished. I'll go to Raguel for guardianship!" Nantre said angrily.

"Hey, Nantelle, forget it," I told him.

"Teacher, you have such a good temper that you are always bullied! But I, Nantle, are not easy to be bullied!" Nantle rushed out without looking back.
