time traveler

The moonlight reveals half of the face among the clouds, and the bright moonlight shines through the clean glass, casting a silent and pale light on the marble.

Quiet, flowing in this gorgeous vaulted hall, dozens of young people wearing pure black hoods and cloaks, sitting on chairs by the wall, like silent shadows, watching with bated breath the huge and bustling hall in the middle of the hall. They were all covered by hoods that covered the tip of their noses, and only their narrow or round chins were exposed. Without exception, they all tightly pressed their lips that trembled slightly due to tension and expectation.

At this time, the complex and bustling lines of the summoning array were filled with dark red blood, and a strong smell of blood floated in the air.Finally, the summoning array in the center of the hall lit up, and a dazzling beam of light that people couldn't look directly shot up from the ground, and shot straight into the sky through the glazed skylight of the vaulted roof.

"Buzzing buzzing——" Huge energy vibrated the space, the clouds were washed away by the energy, and rolled around the beam of light, the moon behind the clouds was completely exposed, and the male moon and the female moon overlapped, which was once in a hundred years The heterochromatic double ring moon.

When the beam of light stabilized, the aftermath turned into shimmering energy spots that fell from the sky, and the magic ring of the entire summoning circle slowly turned. The battle for the throne has begun.

[Who will be the saint? ]

This has been the focus of attention since the opening of the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The Twelve Saints and their Twelve Holy Spirits will compete for the throne for a year. Become the new immortal king, sit on the throne, and rule the whole world until the next hundred years, when the double ring moon is formed again.

The Twelve Holy Spirits will only choose boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 16 to become their saints. Therefore, whenever the Temple of the Holy Spirit is opened, citizens all over the world under the age of 16 can go to the Hall of Saints to try to summon the Twelve Holy Spirits. As for Whether you can be favored by the Holy Spirit depends on luck.

There are always privileges in this world. The first day the Holy Spirit Hall was opened belonged to the nobles and wealthy families. After these delicate young masters and ladies tried to summon the Holy Spirit, it was the turn of the middle class and the petty bourgeoisie. It will be the turn of the civilians.

Today is the first day of the opening of the Hall of the Holy Spirit. When Yue went to the atrium, the privileges belonging to the upper class went down. The luxury car left.

Those who come out first are all losers—and those who are favored by the Holy Spirit will stay in the Hall of the Saints. After the twelve Holy Spirits are gathered, the coronation ceremony of the Saints will be carried out.

Most of the losers straightened their backs, tensed their facial expressions, and tried their best to maintain the etiquette and demeanor that nobles should have, so that even if they lose, they will not lose too ugly—even if some of their families have to Give up your territory and title to the newborn saint.

Walking at the end of the line were a few noble ladies. They all half-covered their faces with beautiful gauze hats or gorgeous feather fans, and squinted maliciously at the dark purple-haired girl behind them.

The girl didn't cover her face with a light veil, her hands were tightly clutching the hem of her skirt, her delicately made-up face was pale.

"Oh, someone's family has not been selected by the Holy Spirit for three consecutive years!" Out of the palace gate, a girl holding a white feather fan gloated and taunted.

Her partner answered immediately: "That's right, that's right, someone's family will be removed from their family soon, and they will be lowly commoners from now on!"

They are very familiar with this kind of trouble, and the other party is a high-ranking and famous family, so there are not many such opportunities.

"Hmph, that's not right!" The girl with a white feather fan raised her eyebrows, covered her nose with her fan, and said in an exaggerated tone of distaste, "I feel so sad when I think that such a noble person lived in the same room with such a shabby householder, alas, I have to go back and take a red wine bath to wash away the bad luck!"

"I'm afraid the red wine bath is not enough, after all, her other half is... um, hahaha!"

"That's right!" The white feather fan girl smiled triumphantly, squinting her eyes provocatively, "Forgive me, in fact, you and your filthy commoner mother should have gone back to the slums long ago. It's a shame for us to have you here." The nobles are discredited!"

The purple-haired girl raised her head abruptly, bit her lower lip tightly, and the deep blue eyes were filled with raging anger.

Seeing her expression, the white feather fan girl tapped the corner of her mouth with her fan bone, and asked viciously: "What kind of look is that in your eyes? Did I say something wrong? Ah, I see, the root cause of the failure of this summoning is you The half-dirty blood flowing in the body is what makes the Holy Spirit disdain! After all, there is such a mother from the slums, who was born poor!"

Seeing the purple-haired girl's face getting more and more gloomy, her companion hurriedly pulled her: "Kelly, let's go, ignore this commoner!"

"Yeah, talking to her makes my mouth dirty." She rolled her eyes, and arrogantly took her companion's arm and walked towards the stairs of the main hall. She was able to crush the arrogant young lady into the dust. It was something she had always longed to achieve, and now that her wish had come true, she felt extremely happy.

"Carrie Bernadette."

A peaceful female voice came from behind.

Hearing her name, the white feather fan girl turned around arrogantly, and asked disdainfully, "Why, want to beg for mercy..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a black shadow coming towards her face, pressing hard against her cheek.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap sounded, and five finger prints appeared on the girl's fair cheeks. The white feather fan girl covered her face and asked incredulously, "You, how dare you hit me! Eve, how dare you hit me?" !"

"Crack!" There was another crisp sound, and the girl's other cheek swelled up.

The purple-haired girl squinted her blue pupils, and the corners of her lips curved up elegantly, showing a proud smile: "Why not? A certain person's tutoring is really bad, so I have to take care of it!"

"You hateful commoner!"

The white feather fan girl wanted to rush over angrily, but was stopped by her companion: "Kai Li, calm down, she, she is not a commoner yet..."

"Let go of me! I'm going to tear her face apart!"

"It's so inelegant, Miss Bernadette." The purple-haired girl bowed slightly and said with a perfect smile, "You have to think carefully, want to tear my face off? Which side do you think the World Noble Arbitration Council will lean towards? Let me advise you, as long as our Onasi family has not withdrawn from the ranks of nobles, it will still be a wealthy family that has produced two holy kings and three holy men, how can you allow a newborn small family like you to be presumptuous!"

"Eve Onassi!" the white lupine girl roared while chewing tears, "You wait for me! Sooner or later your family property will belong to our Bernadette family! At that time, I will definitely see with my own eyes that you have nothing!"

The purple-haired girl covered her mouth with obvious contempt in her eyes: "Just your house? Hehe, can you swallow it?"

The white feather fan girl stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. Eve was right—she didn't dare to fight back. The world's nobles are strictly hierarchical. As long as the Onasi family is still in the ranks of nobles for a day, it is still her family that must be looked up to. existence—even if it has fallen.

"Kelly, let's go first." Her companion pulled her and whispered.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" The white feather fan girl opened her feather fan to cover her red and swollen cheeks, and left angrily.

With her head held high, Eve Onassi stretched out her gorgeous tail feathers flamboyantly like a victorious peacock, elegantly and proudly got into her luxury car and drove away.

However, as soon as she returned to the family manor, she took off her proud mask and became worried. They were right, the Onasi family was already in danger on the edge of a cliff, and they would fall into the abyss when the day of reckoning came!

Returning home with heavy steps, Eve was not surprised to see her beautiful mother waiting in the living room.

"Eve, you're back." Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Onassi got up from the sofa and forced a smile.

She had obviously known the result, so she didn't ask Eve about the calling of the Holy Spirit.

"By the way, I made rose tea..."

"I'm not thirsty." Eve refused.

"Then are you hungry? I baked you your favorite orange biscuits, and I'll bring them to you..."

"I'm not hungry either, mother!" Eve sighed and interrupted her forcefully, "I just want to be quiet for a while now! Can you just leave me alone for a while!"

Mrs. Onassi lowered her eyes hurt, and stood there bewildered, not knowing what to do.

"Sorry." Eve regretted losing her temper at her mother, but she really didn't have the mood to comfort her mother's sensitive heart, so she changed the subject wearily: "Is Father okay?"

"Fortunately, I haven't told him... about that, the doctor said that his body would not be able to withstand the blow, so..."

"That's good, please keep it a secret from him for now."

"What if he asks?"

"Delay as long as you can." Eve sighed again, and bowed to Mrs. Onassi, "Mother, I will take my leave first."

Mrs. Onassi didn't speak, but stood still and watched her always proud daughter go up the stairs and disappear into the corridor on the second floor.

When Eve returned to her bedroom, she threw herself on the soft big bed, biting the corner of the quilt and weeping silently. She hated, hated her incompetence, hated her inability to save this family, and hated those blind Holy Spirits , Did not choose such an excellent her!

Under the luxurious and dazzling curtain of the world's nobles, there are cruel survival rules. If they cannot resonate with the Holy Spirit and attract the Holy Spirit to descend, the family will lose the qualification to compete for the throne, and things of no value have always been discarded—— This is the third time the Onassi family has had a bye, and all the death-prevention cards accumulated before have been used up, so they have to withdraw from the world nobles on the day after all the twelve holy spirits have been summoned, which is the day of reckoning. The ranks of the poor become the bottom of the poor.

Eve stayed in her bedroom like this for three days, until the evening of the third day, when the gradually darkening sky outside suddenly lit up with colorful fireworks, Eve's heart shuddered, and she slowly fell silent.

The twelve holy spirits have all been summoned, and tomorrow is the day of reckoning!

no!You can't just sit around like this!If her sickly father finds out about this, it may lead to a tragedy. She has to find a way to save the Onasi family!

Eve bit her lower lip and made up her mind. She jumped off the bed, turned on the switch behind the mural, and entered the basement through the tunnel, where the most secret room of the Onassi family was located.

As a wealthy family that once produced two saint kings and three saints, the Onasi family still has backers. The key to this secret room has always been passed down to the patriarch only. As the patriarch of the previous generation, Earl Onasi Well, I have been bedridden for many years, so I let Eve take over the key early.

Passing through the room where gold and jewelry are stored, Eve stopped in front of the inconspicuous little door at the end of the corridor, took off the necklace from her neck, and pasted the pendant on the door that must never be opened unless it is a last resort according to the ancestral motto .

"Please bless the ancestors, now is the moment of life and death for the Onasi family!"

"Squeak--"

The dust fell, and the door, which had been sealed for thousands of years, slowly opened. The room behind the door was not big, and the ceiling was inlaid with egg-sized night pearls. The gloomy light echoed with countless gem fragments on the wall. A dreamlike light was refracted, illuminating the only object in the room.

It was an extremely luxurious throne made of meteorite gold and precious stones—it was unique in the world, and it belonged to the contracted throne of the first generation of holy kings.

Eve sucked in a breath of cold air, uncertain. The contracted throne has returned to the Holy Spirit Hall with the first generation of the Holy King. This is common sense that everyone knows. Why did you see it in your basement? !

She took a step forward suspiciously, wanting to get closer to see if the contracted throne was real or just her illusion, then she tripped and realized when she lowered her head that there was a criss-cross pattern on the floor of the room. Interlaced, engraved with bustling and very regular lines, she stepped back two steps and raised her eyes to see the whole picture of the pattern, suddenly felt a little familiar, after thinking about it carefully, she covered her mouth and almost cried out.

She remembered that this magic circle was exactly the same as the holy spirit summoning circle in the hall of the holy spirit!

Looking at the covenant throne in the center of the magic circle, Eve bit her lower lip hard, her eyes became firm, she pulled out the decorative dagger she carried with her, and she scratched hard on her wrist, letting her blood drip into those grooves .

"tick, tick, tick"

The blood flowed slowly along the lines of the summoning array. At this time, due to excessive blood loss, Eve could no longer stand. She lay pale on the ground, trembling slightly, feeling that the bone-chilling cold was attacking her soul little by little.

Her vision had become a little blurry, she squinted her blue pupils and gritted her teeth, and drew a bloody gash on her arm with a dagger, and the blood spurted out again, filling the last line of the summoning circle.

"Buzzing—"

The earth trembled, and a dazzling light shot up from the sky, scattered the splendid fireworks in the sky, and turned the night into day with an unstoppable momentum.

"What's going on?" Countless people covered their eyes and screamed.

"It's the Holy Spirit." The person with knowledge replied, "No. 13 Holy Spirit, appeared..."

The beam of light lasted for more than ten minutes before slowly weakening, and then turned into dots of fluorescent light and disappeared into the air. The night sky returned to a gentle dark blue, but no one had the mood to celebrate anymore.

The wound on Eve's arm healed quickly under the dazzling light. After the dazzling light disappeared, she barely lifted her drowsy head and looked hard. In the still blurred vision, the contract throne in the center of the summoning array had been shattered into pieces. Zha Zha, a tall figure standing in the pile of ruins, with a hazy and gentle light blooming all over his body, and a pair of black eyes as warm as water looked extraordinarily beautiful in the light.

She was so excited that she couldn't be more excited, gathered her last strength, and asked loudly:

"Are you my Holy Spirit?"
