Lamplighter selection...
Tai Beisha looked at those who were gearing up and seemed to want to do something big, and lowered her head gently.
The selection of lamplighters is the most important thing in the Kingdom of Oort before the sun goes down.
The day of Hidden Sun is said to be a day when the Illuminati will be completely swallowed by darkness. Every citizen of Xiyue will light a torch to convey the power to their Goddess, and the lamplighter on this day is especially important.
They will light the street lamps one after another along the street, guiding the goddess to her kingdom on earth.
This kind of profession is quite proud, and it is usually done by the most devout believers, but on the day of the sun's day, it is required to light up all the lights in the entire capital within one hour after sunset, and there is a shortage of manpower Only temporarily recruited some lamplighters to participate in it.
Tabetha was noncommittal about this, the customs and festivals seemed to her grotesque and incomprehensible.
She hid in front of the statue of Xiyue Goddess in the name of morning class prayers because she didn't want to participate. Now for the entire Xiyue Court, Tai Beisha after the last successful descent is almost the human spokesperson of Goddess Xiyue, except for the current No one can say anything about her except what the Holy Maiden, the Pope and Bishop Jeffrey can criticize her for.
It's just that it wasn't suitable for Daxie, so Daxie dragged her out.
The on-site selection went very quickly. Daxi was very enthusiastic about introducing various famous seniors or seniors to her along the way. Although Tabetha seemed to be listening, she didn't remember anyone at all, and she didn't want to remember them.
Until the end, two people, a man and a woman, were selected as the lamplighters for the day when the sun is gone.
After the selection was over, Daxi took Tai Beisha and started to stroll around Bradrick City with great interest. The two of them didn't rest until the afternoon at the statue of Goddess Xiyue on the central square.
Looking at the Bradrick citizens in front of the Goddess Xiyue Statue, Tabetha looked at them curiously. They seemed to be praying?
It's not that people who don't usually pray, but this time they seem to be a little concentrated?
"This is praying for the blessing of the Goddess Xiyue, and praying for the blessings from the Goddess, so that they can spend the day safely."
Darcy saw Taibertha's doubt at once, smiled and explained to Taibertha, and then she took Taibertha's arm and dragged her towards that side.
"Let's go, let's go to pray to the Goddess Xiyue too!"
Tabetha wanted to say no.
She just acted devout to Goddess Xiyue. In fact, she didn't care at all about the existence of what the believers called the incarnation of light.
But since she was descended by Lord Curtain last time, she has become one of the closest people to the goddess Xiyue, and it is really inappropriate to show any attitude that she doesn't like the goddess Xiyue, so she bites the bullet Restraining his disrespect for Goddess Xiyue, he tried his best to show that he was devout.
but...
The two squeezed into a place where there were few people. Daxi clapped her hands lightly at the stone statue standing on the square, then clenched her fists with both hands on her chest, and closed her eyes reverently.
"I hope that the goddess will bestow happiness and well-being on everyone."
What a good boy...
Tabetha couldn't help feeling emotional when she heard her wish.
But then she followed suit, lowered her head and began to pray.
It's just that she didn't say it out loud, but said silently in her heart:
"Master Curtain, Happy Hidden Sun Festival."
Just after she finished saying those words in her heart, she exclaimed loudly and exploded from the crowd!
"Goddess Xiyue has manifested herself!"
"Master Goddess has descended and blessed us!"
"Sacred and compassionate Xiyue!!!"
"What did I see? Xiyue has manifested herself!!!"
...
...
"Eh?"
Tabetha and Darcy were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the statue.
It turned out that the statue didn't know when it started, but it actually emitted a faint light...
That's not the light of the sun, that's the soft light that emanates from itself.
A number of mechanical lifeforms knelt down on the ground, chanting the twin Xiyue's honorable name or abbreviation loudly, leaving Taibeisha and Daxi standing there alone, standing out from the crowd.
until...
Until a pair of big hands condensed by soft light slowly climbed out from the huge stone sculpture, and then reached out to Tabetha.
Tabetha stayed where she was.
One of the slender hands of light lightly tapped her shoulder when she saw that she had no response, and woke her up from that stunned state, and then Tabetha saw it use a The big hand raised his own, and the other big hand slowly handed a golden and soft thing to her hand...
The big hand condensed by the soft light disappeared, and a thing that was a bit cold but exuding a sweet fragrance fell into her hand...
Tabetha stared blankly at the egg cake in her hand, unable to say a word.
"Tabetha..."
Daxi's voice sounded softly, and Tabertha's attention was immediately called back. Tabertha raised her eyes from the egg cake in her hand, and saw Daxi in front of her, staring at her with burning eyes .
"This... this is the blessing of the goddess Xiyue..."
"Can... can I share some?"
Darcy moved her throat and asked involuntarily.
Those ordinary people who knelt down and prayed slowly stood up, looking longingly at the things in Taibeisha's hand... (PS: Your cake is gone again hahahahahaha)
(PS: Thank you for the spicy strips from the sick cat boss, thank you, thank you! The blade of the rat boss in the vegetable field, thank you, thank you!
PS2: There are too many things to do during the Chinese New Year. Killing chickens, cooking chickens, cooking fried goods, cooking square meat, cooking rotten vegetables, cooking pork legs, cooking fish, and messy things can’t calm down. Only at night can you calm down... )
Chapter 41 The Old Gods Can Make Fishing Bait
The next day, Wu Mo dragged his tired body to No. 21 Bradrick Street, the embassy of the Kingdom of Alt in Adrian.
As soon as he entered the door, Wu Mo saw Mr. Boswell reading the newspaper seriously. Even when Wu Mo opened the door, he didn't look up.
"Morning, Mr. Boswell." Wu Mo greeted him.
"Morning, Wu Mo." Mr. Boswell folded up the newspaper and looked at him.
Little Puyo followed into the door, and happened to meet Mr. Boswell's eyes. Mr. Boswell nodded slightly towards it, but the little guy didn't know what happened, so he shrank behind Wu Mo in fright. Wu Mo was confused.
"Where are they?" Wu Mo was curious, why was there not a single person today, even though he was going to work today.
"I went to deal with the affairs of the Church of the Dead Whisperer. There are a lot of sick people there. This time, it was officially entrusted by Adrian, and someone from Adrian's Special Affairs Office followed suit."
"You don't call me? I'm short of money, Mr. Boswell..." Wu Mo sighed, and sat opposite him helplessly.
"I told you, are you willing to go? How many things do you not want others to know about yourself? They are all trained in Xiyue Court, and they are more familiar with each other's combat styles, and your words... "Speaking of this, Mr. Boswell paused slightly.
"That fellow Jeffrey said that you can carry out the task by yourself."
Wu Mo was a little embarrassed to hear that, because it was the truth.
"Furthermore, you didn't intervene less? Yesterday you asked for leave, I thought you were going with your girlfriend, but I didn't expect the two of you to make such a big deal at that scene. Now the whole of Adrian En's Special Affairs Office became tense, looking for clues everywhere, delaying your blessings, and some tasks with a high priority and quite generous rewards also fell into our hands."
While talking, Mr. Boswell took out a small envelope from the drawer under the table, and gently placed it in front of Wu Mo.
"Mission?!?" Wu Mo's eyes lit up, and he was just about to reach for the envelope, but Mr. Boswell was one step ahead of him, picked up the envelope and lifted it up again, preventing Wu Mo from snatching it.
"How is your Xiyue Secret Ritual?"
Well, let's test him again.
Wu Mo looked at his contemplative expression, smiled helplessly, then reached out and took out the secret ritual card from his pocket, but this time Wu Mo was surprised that Wu Mo hadn't picked it up yet. Xiyueyi staff clicked on the secret ritual formation, and the formation was automatically opened. A small black hand held Wu Mo's big sword and poked it out. With a flick of the long sword, it pointed directly at Boswell.
Boswell's expression froze obviously, Wu Mo quickly took the big sword over after seeing it, and after Wu Mo took the big sword, the black hand also turned into a ball of light, shattered and go.
"Sorry, I don't know how to control them yet..."
"They? That's how it is..." Boswell suddenly realized after thinking for a while.
"You communicated with the gods, right?"
Hearing what he said, Wu Mo was also slightly taken aback.
"It seems so, Wu Mo, the Xiyue secret ritual is just a special ability similar to magic for people like us. As long as we do the ritual correctly, it will bring the corresponding result of the ritual, but even It's me, and I rarely meet the gods."
"God, is it hard to meet?" Wu Mo asked hesitantly.
"No, in fact, the relatives of other gods are not so difficult to meet, it's just that Xiyueting is special."
Are you sure you didn't know how to cook and starved your family's gods, and they ignored you when they lost their temper?Such an absurd idea suddenly popped up in Wu Mo's heart, of course it was just such a jump, and then he lowered his head, not intending to say such an unreliable idea.
"Then this more difficult task can be given to you." Boswell slapped the thing in his hand on the table again, and pushed it to Wu Mo.
"This is..." Wu Mo touched the envelope and gently opened it.
"Zacharias Secret Order." Boswell said softly.
"Zacharias Secret Society?" Wu Mo muttered such a name softly, he seemed to have heard such a name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Well, a group of guys who enjoy eating people."
I remembered!
Taibeisha mentioned these guys. When Taibeisha was talking to the people in the curtain, she said that the parents who adopted her were members of a pair of Zacharias secret order, and they adopted Taibeisha not Wanted Tabetha to be their baby, wanted to eat her instead!
"What kind of organization is this?" After hearing such a term, Wu Mo didn't rush to open the letter again, but asked Boswell seriously.
"A group of madmen." Boswell frowned slightly, looking very disgusted.
"They have no faith at all. They think that the most valuable thing in this world is human beings. As long as they eat people, they can get everything they want, smart thinking, strong bodies that are not easily damaged, and eternal life."
"That is to say, what I want to deal with is ordinary human beings?" Wu Mo's fingers involuntarily tapped the tabletop lightly.
"No, if that's the case, you won't be needed at all. What you have to deal with is the most special existence in the Zacharias Secret Order, the Black Dead."
Wu Mo's spirit was slightly shaken, and he didn't ask any more questions, but waited for Mr. Boswell to continue to explain.
Knot
Unexpectedly, Mr. Boswell looked at Wu Mo and smiled slightly.
"A soulless being like you, without a soul."
I have a...
Wu Mo felt depressed after hearing this.
I have been criticized more than once for not being able to add spiritual links with them like adding friends, and then communicating with them more than once. At this time, I brought up this matter to talk about it. I really don’t know what Boswell thinks.
But Wu Mo immediately saw Boswell take out a small communicator and put it in front of him.
"When this mission starts, you don't have to come over to check in and go to work. You can just report the progress to me regularly. You can store this thing in the Xiyue God Domain, so you don't have to worry about it being destroyed during the battle."
Wu Mo took the communicator silently, and opened his secret card, those little black hands poked out from the void behind the card, and waited for a while after receiving the communicator Wu Mo threw to them Then it disappeared, making everything completely return to normal.
"Can you tell me, what happened to the black dead?"
"Sorry..." For this question, Boswell just spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
"We don't know a lot about the Black Death. We only know a few points. The first point is that they often hide in the dark and will not be discovered by anyone. The second point is that they have a special The ability, that is, the person bitten by them will also be hidden by them from being discovered, and the third point is that they can transform anyone into their puppet, but the specific trigger conditions are unknown."
"So little information?"
Wu Mo looked at him puzzled, because in Wu Mo's impression, Xiyueting can be regarded as a big organization. Although it is at the bottom of these organizations that are on the table, it is not those who only work in secret. Action guys are comparable, they don't know much about these guys?
"Wu Mo, the Zacharias Secret Order itself is an extremely secretive secret gathering. Have you ever met anyone who would always think about how to eat people? Not to mention the more mysterious Black Death Apostles. It's not that the Kingdom of Erte has never attacked them in the capital, but those who attacked were ordinary members, and even many people had never been in contact with the Zacharias Secret Order, they just heard about Zacharias People in the secret order can get everything they want through cannibalism, so we imitate it, and we haven't even touched the shadow of the Zacharias secret order."
Boswell is also very helpless. There are more than a thousand such extremely secretive small organizations. It is impossible for them to understand all of them. Some guys read a book and then explained what the book said according to their own meaning. Nonsense, a god can say that he is a secret organization after he attracts five or six believers, and this kind of one has to be clarified one by one?impossible.
Xiyueting only has records and files for those destructive secret organizations. The Zacharias Secret Order can enter the files of Xiyueting because their cannibalism is too bad, but compared to the festering Injury, rot and disease that could destroy a city at any time, and they can't be on the big stage, so the records will not be so complete.
"Then who commissioned Xi Yueting to investigate this matter?" Wu Mo asked, opening the letter curiously.
"Earl Johnston, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications of the Imperial Capital, someone saw her daughter disappear, the kind that disappeared out of thin air. The Special Affairs Office of the Imperial Capital did a simple investigation and found a puppet, but such a thing as a puppet, The guy hiding behind the scenes can find as many puppets as he wants, so the Special Affairs Office did not touch it, but waited for the opportunity, but you also know the follow-up things, Adrian has a bigger case, All the hands were taken away, so the Earl came to us."
There were two paintings in the letter, one of which recorded a beautiful girl of the higher race, holding a parasol and standing among the flowers, tilting her head slightly and smiling very brightly.
The other picture is a man of the higher race with an ordinary appearance in Wu Mo's eyes, but this face may be ugly in the eyes of these higher races.
"The girl is Yura, the earl's daughter, and the man is that puppet, a merchant."
"What do I need to do? Find the girl Yula?" Wu Mo raised his head and looked at Boswell.
"No." Boswell shook his head slightly.
"The time has not been too short. Earl Johnston judged that his daughter may have encountered misfortune, so his hope is to find out the black dead man behind the scenes and kill him, and find out in two months or more. For that guy, the reward is [-] fine gold. If you kill that guy within two months, the reward is [-] fine gold. If you kill that guy within a month, you will add [-] fine gold for every day shortened. Hundred pieces of fine gold, there is no cap."
