The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again
Chapter 252: Sacrifice to the Gods (3)
The school council student who was issuing passes to the people in line at the door looked up and saw two figures leaping through the air.
I just thought someone was going to cause trouble, but after seeing their faces clearly, I quickly greeted them respectfully.
Liu An and Mo Ya are both veteran figures in the school council, whose status is second only to Jiang Liujing. All the cadres under them know them.
The two of them didn't stop, grabbed four passes from the door and left.
There was already a lot of traffic entering the campus, so Jiang Liujing didn't follow the conventional solemn and formal ceremony format. He simply stated one word for his audience: "beautiful."
As soon as they walked in, they saw a long corridor of lights and shadows that stretched for hundreds of meters.
Painted umbrellas in vibrant hues are followed by octagonal lanterns that seem to be dropped from the sky. As they rotate, the shadows of mythical beasts of different species are clearly reflected on the paper.
On both sides of the magnificent corridor are exquisite and small market shops.
Jiang Liujing and Gu Lian reached a cooperation agreement, letting Gu's family members be responsible for the layout and operation of these market shops. Every item sold there was something that ordinary people could not obtain outside, and was completely monopolized by the nobles.
As soon as the store opened today and advertised the limited supply, the customer flow instantly exploded, with students and passers-by all scrambling to get in.
The children were dazzled by the sight. This bustling market was a natural attraction for them. If Liu An and Mo Ya hadn't pulled them along and ran away without looking back, they would have definitely rushed in as soon as they entered the school gate.
Not long after they ran out of the corridor, they suddenly heard the long drum sounds of "dong, dong, dong".
As if they had received some signal, Mo Ya and Liu An sped up again, and the children in their arms immediately screamed "Ahhhhhhhhh".
"If you want to see him, just be quiet." Mo Ya, who is usually very noisy, felt the pain in his eardrums at this moment, as if he was holding a few screaming bombs.
The threat was quite effective, and the world fell silent in an instant. They covered their mouths tightly and remained silent until the two men arrived at the scene.
The scene was already crowded with people, mostly students and a small number of outsiders. The square was packed and newcomers could only stand on the edge.
Liu An put the two children down and waved to Mo Ya: "I'll go first, I'll leave them to you."
Mo Ya knew his mission, nodded, and signaled him to go quickly.
The "big turtle" looked here and there, and suddenly said, "You are so mysterious, are you going to do something bad?"
Mo Ya looked at him speechlessly: "Why can't we just be doing good things?"
"Good people are usually above board. You guys look so sneaky."
"That means you only see the appearance, and appearances can be deceiving, kid." Mo Ya said, looking at the dense crowd in front of him.
Just as they planned, almost all the students in the school were here, and even most of the teachers were there.
With another long drumbeat, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
The children fell silent, as if sensing the tense and expectant atmosphere in the air. Their eyes were fixed on the only empty spot in the crowd.
It was a raised platform, on top of which stood a well-known statue of the god of law.
Different from the image Jiang Liujing had seen in the Magician's Association, this statue had its hands raised, as if catching the rain and dew.
"Have you ever prayed to God?" Mo Ya suddenly asked.
The little deer and the big turtle both shook their heads. They were living a happy life and didn't need to pray for anything.
Lu Yao lowered his head and spoke in a lower voice, "When I went to the church to worship the statue, I told the statue that I wanted my mother to come back."
"Did it come true?"
Lu Yao shook his head.
"She's dead."
Lu Yao's family made a special alchemical tool, a life lamp, for every important member of the family. They took their heart and blood and burned it in the lamp. When the person died, the lamp would go out.
Lu Yao's mother just went out as usual, not even on any mission, but just went out to buy a snack for Lu Yao that could only be picked up in the store.
But her light went out.
No one knew where she had the accident, and even her body was never found.
When Lu Yao received the news, he completely collapsed.
He locked himself in the room and cried for three days and three nights. After coming out, he begged his tribesmen to take him to the religion to pray to the gods, praying that his mother would come back.
In the minds of young children, reversing life and death is something that only God can do, and God can definitely do it.
But the statue illuminated by countless rays of light was so cold that no matter how he prayed, there was no response.
"Do you blame Him?"
Lu Yao shook his head again.
"It's not His fault."
He actually knew that no matter whether God existed or heard his voice, he would not interfere.
The cause and effect of life and death, if human destiny could be rewritten at will, that would be the beginning of all chaos.
However, all this still inevitably left a thorn in his heart.
When I think of my mother and her death, I think of that statue.
Lu Yao knew that this was wrong, but human partiality and outbursts of anger were unreasonable and uncontrollable.
Mo Ya patted his shoulder and said softly, "If that's the case, then you just watch today and don't have to participate."
Before I knew it, the sky and earth around me grew dark, the daylight overhead was obscured by dark clouds, and the wind howled in all directions.
And amidst all the gray tones, a group of musical instruments suddenly began to roar.
The drums struck with a force that could pierce rock, shattering the visible darkness. The beat was like thunder in my ears.
The hearts of the audience seemed to vibrate with the sound, as if they had become part of the constantly vibrating drumhead.
The increasingly passionate drum beats suddenly fell silent just as they were about to reach their climax.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a clear flute sound slowly rang out.
It was as if the curtain was slowly being lifted, and a ball of light suddenly appeared on the high platform.
The light was so dazzling and eye-catching, appearing right in front of the statue of the God of Law, which immediately reminded everyone of the moment when the legendary incarnation openly appeared in the world, and also suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The high and noble god of all living beings.
When he came to the world, all living beings stopped for him.
Suddenly, a human silhouette appeared in the light. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and stared at him without blinking.
It was as if the distant legend had really come to life. The students who had previously been speculating in their hearts about what kind of performance this was no longer interested in distinguishing true from false. They just looked up and watched enthusiastically as if they had returned to ten thousand years ago.
They saw it.
The jet-black hair, as if torn from the pure color that could only be dyed by the night, spread behind the figure emerging from the ball of light, as if covered with a layer of night gauze.
The face, neck, hands and feet were all covered in a layer of white light, like a vague dream, unclear to see and feel.
One could only sense that he was lowering his head slightly, as if observing the countless people beneath his feet.
【god.】
Mo Ya heard shouts coming from his ears.
With madness, depression, excitement, and faint sobbing sounds.
How many years has it been since they last saw each other?
One became a distant legend, and the other became the descendant of the legend.
Finally, the figure in the light fell down, landing squarely on the palm of the statue on the high platform.
The moment of contact, a bright glow burst out from the statue.
At the same time, countless glittering points of light flew up from the ground, carrying a warm and powerful force, spinning and merging into the bodies of everyone present.
