Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

The spring sacrifice ceremony of the Parasau people begins one hour after the sun rises and ends one hour after the sun sets.

The Parasau people living in Gut City and the vicinity of Gut City will first clean up the corpses of monsters after the red moon ends, then return to their homes to wash their bodies, change into formal clothes and head to the Nayasos Snow Mountain.

The people heading to the snow-capped mountains will be divided into two rows, walking slowly towards the snow-capped mountains one by one. The team on the left will hold long spears tied with ribbons and bells, and the team on the right will hold hand drums with painted patterns.

Everyone will chant the ancient Paraso language to praise the goddess Nayasos. They will hold their spears in front of them and swing them slightly. The bells on the spears will leave a series of "ding-dong" sounds on the road.

They would beat the hand drums to a specific rhythm, and the sound of the hand drums would match their steps.

As the lord, Thrall would go to the Goddess Temple half an hour in advance with the twenty most powerful warriors and twenty magicians of Gut City.

Xie Wei was sleeping soundly in the carriage and he didn't notice that the carriage was moving many times faster than any other time he had ridden in it.

This time, Thrall did not stay with Xie Wei in the carriage. He got off the carriage at the foot of the snow mountain. The carriage took Xie Wei, Toya and others away from the foot of the mountain at a rapid speed. At the foot of the mountain, Thrall and others, carrying their contracted monsters, chanted hymns and walked up the snow mountain step by step.

The warriors stood with huge swords in their hands, with the hilts facing up and the tips facing down, while the magicians placed their staffs diagonally in front of their chests.

When Xie Wei woke up, Sal and the others had also arrived at the section of the road where the carriage could not pass.

Sal went into the carriage and braided Shevi's hair, and then dressed him in the colorful costume of the Parasau people.

Little Rose's legs were straight and long. As Thrall tied the robe on his partner, he saw that the pair of legs in boots were covered by the robe that reached below the knees, and he was very satisfied.

He specially had the size altered, and now it's just the right length and very warm.

Xie Wei was unaware of Sal's little thoughts. His focus was on the new veil on his face.

This time, Thrall put a veil on him again, but this veil was obviously different from the previous one. This veil was a magic prop ornament. After putting it on, his entire face, including his ears, would not feel cold.

In fact, Xie Wei's forehead ornament can also play a certain role in keeping out the cold, but with the addition of this new veil, the warmth-keeping effect is doubled. After Xie Wei was pulled out of the carriage with the veil on, he was slightly less uncomfortable with being forced to wear the veil.

Because... it's really warm...

After getting off the car, Sal held the sword in one hand and held Shevi tightly with the other. He did not ask Shevi to chant hymns with them. He knew that the imperial people believed in Cecilia, the goddess of light, and Little Rose did not need to change her beliefs to marry him.

Xie Wei followed Sal step by step up the last steep staircase leading to the top of the snow-capped mountain. The stairs were engraved with Parasauan characters, and there were some carved murals on the stone walls on both sides of the stairs.

Sal had told him the contents of these murals, and he listened to them for a long time as bedtime stories.

Nayasos, the goddess worshipped by the Parasau people, is a Valkyrie who is very skilled in fighting with magic. The ancestors of the Parasau people called her the "Goddess of Strength".

Nayasos has no particular affinity for any magic element. She is good at combining various magic elements together. Any magic element in her hands will become a deadly weapon.

Maybe it's because they believe in Nayasos, or maybe it's because they haven't communicated with the outside world for a long time in terms of magical attainments. The Paraso magicians who are still practicing ancient magic are almost all combat magicians.

Because of this, the infrastructure level of the Parasau people has always been at the bottom of the continent. From what Xie Wei has seen, the Temple of the Goddess Nayassus is definitely the highest level building in the Far North Territory.

But this only remarkable building was badly damaged in the war, and the Parasau people were unable to completely repair it, which made Xie Wei feel very sad when he saw it.

After reaching the top of the snow mountain, Xie Wei was a little out of breath, and Sal also noticed that Little Rose's steps had become a little heavy.

He stayed there for a few minutes, and waited until Xie Wei felt a little better before leading him forward.

By the time they stepped into the main hall of the Goddess Temple, Xie Wei could no longer stand and could only rely on Sal's arm around his waist to stand.

It's not that he has no strength, but because of lack of exercise for a long time, the muscles in his legs have weakened.

If it weren't for the stamina potion in the system that could keep his body in optimal condition for two hours, he would not have dared to prepare to escape given his current physical condition.

I'm afraid that I'll freeze to death on the snowy plains of the Far North before I get far.

When he arrived at the main hall, Xie Wei just had to imitate Thrall's movements just like last time. After the whole process, he was sent to the back hall by Thrall, where Toya and others were waiting for him with things.

This time when I entered the back hall, it was no longer pitch black. The high priest was no longer in the back hall. The layout of the back hall was now similar to the front hall, except that the position of the goddess statue was replaced by a high platform where the high priest sat, and there was now an open stone door behind the platform.

After Xie Wei followed Toya and the others into the stone gate, they walked forward along the lighting crystals in the passage. After walking around in the passage for a while, they saw the door leading to the outside.

Before leaving the door, Toya tied a palm-sized round wooden sign to Xie Wei. After tying it, she explained:

"The Holy Spring is guarded by monsters. Normally, no one is here. If you come here, you need to wear this wooden sign with a special smell, otherwise you will be attacked by monsters."

Xie Wei's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, but he immediately picked up the wooden sign and looked at it, then asked curiously: "Is this wooden sign disposable?"

Toya led Xie Wei out and said, "That's not the case. They can be reused because the trees used to make these wooden signs are extinct. There are only a dozen or so wooden signs left."

"Oh..." Just as Xie Wei was about to say something else, he was startled by a beast face that approached.

Dylan and another maid, Celine, did not expect the monster to suddenly rush over. They tried their best to stop it, but the monster guarding the holy spring still rushed to His Highness Shiavi. Although they knew that the monster would not attack people because of the wooden sign, they were still frightened.

Fortunately, the monster stopped just before and after it rushed to His Majesty Shiyawei. Not only did it stop, it also lay down on the ground, turned over to expose its belly, and stared at His Majesty Shiyawei with its big lavender eyes.

Xie Wei looked at the super-enlarged version of the Maine Coon cat in front of him with both surprise and delight. Seeing it lying on the ground very docilely, he hesitantly reached out and purred its big head.

The big cat rubbed his hand happily after being purred. Then Xie Wei touched the big cat's face and chin and received the same enthusiastic response from the big cat.

For the next moment, Toya, Dylan and Celine stood on the sidelines, doubting their lives.

They looked at the unusually docile monster Mitaka, who was being rubbed around on the grass beside the holy spring by His Highness Shiyavi. He was not angry at all and they really didn't want to recognize that guy as an eighth-level ferocious monster that could bite a monster in one bite.

It can even meow tenderly? Meow? Meow? Isn't it usually so loud that it makes people deaf?
