The priest and the king 02 The madness of the king

See how Sae-sama meets the people? "

There was a call from behind.

Luo Gang turned around in surprise.

is the oldest.He was bending over solemnly.

"The next thing is the audience time. A large number of people who have spent several days climbing the mountain are waiting. No matter what country they are from, as long as they are so enthusiastic in their faith that they are not afraid of steep mountains and trekking across mountains and rivers, the Great Temple will open the door without discrimination. Greeting...although I feel very sorry for Saesa-sama who has to go to work immediately after arriving.”

Xie Sha was given the highest position in the Hong Ni Cult because of her appearance, but in fact it was the old man with white hair and beard who restrained the priest.

Hauniism is a religion that advocates equality, so there is no strict class relationship within it.

However, in order to facilitate the guidance of newcomers, the person who is older and has the ability to guide is called the "oldest elder", followed by seven people who are called "elders".

Luo Gang didn't suppress his unhappiness, and asked suspiciously.

"...Old man, what are your plans?"

Heh...heh...heh.The old priest smiled slowly.

"I didn't expect that. I thought you would want to see how Sae-sama looks like in the Great Shrine... It seems that I am meddling in my own business?"

Luo Gang frowned.

Not to mention pretending to be a chicken mother-in-law, it was rare for the two of them to speak a few words.

Originally, I wanted to store Saesha here temporarily to prevent him from being involved in the war, but after the Great Temple, not only refused to return Saesha, but the prime minister and important ministers obstructed it in every possible way, saying, "Politics and religion must not intersect, otherwise it will become chaos. root of

This kind of bullshit theory, in short, is to prevent Luo Gang from approaching the Great Temple.

Looking back now, it seems that it was to miss Luo Gang's persistent method of getting too much contact with Sae Sae - if she doesn't abide by the laws of the country, Sae Sae, who is serious and serious, will feel very sad.As soon as he thought so, Luo Gang had no choice but to obediently obey.

Therefore, it can be said that Luo Gang is completely unaware of what kind of life Sae Sha is living in the Great Temple.

Luo Gang, who was disgusted in his heart, reluctantly said.

"I'll just fall for you once, old man."

Although he hated priests, Luo Gang was easier to open his heart to this old priest.

Because it feels like he is more like his companion than other priests.

"Then, please go this way."

The eldest elder, who was still at ease, went down the stairs first, then walked into the corridor, and finally stopped in front of a door.

"You know that Sae-sama is admired by all people. In order to prevent people from thinking about it to the limit and acting rudely... That's why I set up this kind of place to monitor the situation of the audience. Of course, I can't see this from them. side."

Open the door, there is already a young priest inside.

The other party turned around in surprise.

Seeing that face, Luo Gang couldn't help frowning.

Because it's a guy I know.

...This guy... isn't that the man who has a crush on Sae Sae...!

You have to contradict Luo Gang for everything. Earlier, he went to the palace alone to ask for Saosha.

Among the priests, he seems to be the most vigorous.

It seemed that only the elder at the scene was unaware of the tense atmosphere.

"Heji, the king is here. You can step back."

The young priest stared straight at Luo Gang.

"But……"

Of course Luo Gang stared back.

All right—the oldest exhortation.

"This is also the husband of Saesa-sama. Kazuki, you should step back today."

After the young priest who seemed extremely reluctant walked out, Luo Gang spoke in a low voice.

"That guy is still there? I thought I was kicked out a long time ago...Didn't I say before that I want you to drive out all the young priests immediately!"

As expected, the eldest elder replied with four liang of dry gold.

"It is absolutely necessary. During the reign of the former king, the temples in various places were destroyed, and the number of priests was greatly reduced... There are only five people who are in the position of "elder". If there are no young priests to join, there will be no successors."

Then he continued with a smile.

"Also, I believe that among the priests, no one would be rude enough to have affection for Sae-sama."

Luo Gang laughed.

"Ha! You must be too old to be confused. Saesha is the existence that drives men crazy. Those men who are attracted by his pure appearance and dare to approach him will all be killed... I will really do something like this It’s a cruel thing. Looking at Saesa’s appearance, living under the same roof... the priests must also feel the pain as if they are in hell!"

"Exactly. So, it's time to praise these young priests, right?"

The old man's ingenious response deepened the unhappiness on Luo Gang's face.

Indeed, Xisha, who has lived in this great temple for nearly five years, was still a virgin until she became Luo Gang's person.Not only that, he doesn't even know how to masturbate.

It is obvious that the young priest has a strong affection for Sae Sae.Because of this, they should indeed be praised for their high endurance.

The eldest elder faced the silent Luo Gang, pretending not to know, and said:

"Then, please look through the wall over there."

Um.Luo Gang could only pretend not to understand and follow suit.

A part of the wall, exactly where the face was, was inlaid with very transparent water stones, for only that side was of a different color.

"I see. If you look closely, you can see the next room."

While admiring the convenience of this mechanism, Luo Gang also began to spy.

However, the scene of the next room made up of blurred images—has given Luo Gang a shock that feels like his chest has been pierced.

In the center of the room, there is a half-high platform.

On the high platform is a chair covered with rainbow cloth, and a person is sitting on it.

The dazzling rainbow light will take your breath away.

The incomparably sacred light seemed to be found only in the sky.

"Pictures on page 49"

The light changed colors subtly and flickered endlessly... because the image was somewhat distorted because of the water stone, but no matter how many times you blinked, the iridescent light did not disappear, but became more intense.Luo Gang asked hoarsely.

"……who's that person……?"

He asked a stupid question.

Rainbow fabric and rainbow stone accessories can only be worn by Sae who has become a "Holy Rainbow Envoy".The rainbow hair flowing to the floor, the mask that covers the face—then it is said that the person is "Sae Sa".

Under the stage, in front of Xie Sha, lay an old man in ragged clothes.

It was faint, but still audible.

"No matter how hard I worked, I still couldn't get rid of poverty, and I couldn't improve my status. My wife has passed away, and my son, daughter-in-law and even grandson are very harsh on me."

While weeping, the old man told about his misfortune, and begged the "Son of God" to give him some comfort.

"I beg you, Lord Son of God! Please give me the words of redemption!"

The old man crawled on his knees, kissed the hem of Xie Sha's clothes, and couldn't stop whimpering.

Luo Gang was dumbfounded.

He was so surprised that he couldn't even say angry words.

It is impossible to imagine that the person who is so divine and radiant on the stage is the person who was still smiling in his arms until just now.

At this moment—— Sae Sha spoke.

"I understand your pain."

Like the music from the distant sky, crisp and bright sound.

"Aren't you suffering? Are you in pain? But God sees everything."

The words continued.

Compassion, condolences, teaching... Just hearing it makes me cry, words full of warmth and kindness...

That was undoubtedly Sae's voice.It is impossible for oneself to hear wrongly.

Luo Gang fell into chaos.

But... I don't know Sae Sae like that.

Sae Sha in front of Luo Gang is childish and innocent.He will blush because of his own words, and sometimes he will be unhappy, awkward, angry, and often cry.

If it was an ordinary Sae Sha, she would shed tears of sympathy after the old man told about his life experience.

It turned out that all the words were words of comfort.But it was Sae who fluently uttered words that seemed to be prepared in advance with a faint artificial smile.

...That's not "Sae Sae"!

That's not human at all!It's just a mechanism doll in rainbow clothes! ?

Anger boiled like pain.

Luo Gang pointed to the next room and said harshly.

"Why did you make him do this!? When did it start?"

The eldest elder caressed his long beard and said leisurely:

"—Well... I remember it was when Sae-sama was 15 years old, that is, when she first entered the Great Shrine."

Luo Gang grabbed the collar of the old priest and angrily said.

"You forced him to do such a thing!"

"No, no, no. Master Saesa offered to do it. He said, if he can't practice like the other priests, at least let him do something... We also know it's too early for him, but we still teach His duty as the "Holy Rainbow Messenger"."

Luo Gang was so angry that his eyes were dark.

"...Since he... was 15 years old...?—Look! That old man has lived several times longer than Sae Sae! Why do you have to pray to Sae Sae for salvation? If you are poor, then work harder Ah! If the country's policy is wrong, then just complain directly to me, the king. If your children and grandchildren alienate him, just talk to them and find out why you are hated. ——Life How could there be no pain! Before asking others for salvation, you should do everything you can do... Otherwise, wouldn’t Sae be too pitiful? He’s still a child? Just because he has rainbow hair , Hongtong, so you should listen to the pain of others? What kind of nonsense is this!」

Facing Luo Gang who was getting more and more angry, the elder only said lightly.

"Please keep your voice down."

"Whisper? If you want me to be quieter, then you should also take corresponding actions.
