Chapter 1152 Gretel: Is There Such a Type of Sun Virgin? !
The moment the Virgin of the Sun rushed over, Gretel reflexively...
took a step back.
He flicked his fingers, brushed, brushed, brushed, and gave himself a row of defensive spells. At the same time, Serila took a step across and stood in front of him...
Well, there is a possibility of a fight. The mage retreats and the warrior moves forward. Didn't you notice that Bernard was following him? He stood behind him, as solid as an iron tower, and felt particularly safe.
The escaping Virgin of the Sun was originally running toward them in a state of embarrassment, carrying her long skirt. There is a sense of panic and no choice but to grab a handful of straw, even if it is straw.
However, seeing Gretel retreating and a slender, delicate and beautiful girl standing in front of her, her expression suddenly changed. She stopped and turned around——
"Tear" a crisp tearing sound. Then, Gretel's expression also changed:
The sun virgin tore open the long skirt she was carrying. With two brushes, the long skirt turned into a short skirt that only reached two inches above the knee. She held the remaining skirt in her hands, twisting it and waving it——
A masterpiece of golden light!
In her hands, the skirt looked like a statue of a god, or rather, a preparation for a statue of a god. In short, it was a piece of cloth soaked with divine power. When it exploded, Gretel subconsciously closed his eyes.
He was like this even when he was standing behind the Virgin of the Sun. The pursuers who caught up were simply staggering around and subconsciously avoiding them. If you look at it from above, it looks like half of a flower suddenly exploded.
The Virgin of the Sun waved her skirt to drive back her pursuers, then turned around and killed them. She grabbed a spear from the pursuer and swung it in a circle, drawing a 3/4 arc circle.
The wind roared fiercely on the tip of the spear, and golden light flashed. This forced the group of pursuers to stagger and retreat. One young soldier simply fell to the ground.
Gretel slowly opened his mouth.
...Sister, where is the virgin of the sun who we promised to serve the sun god and protect the holy fire?
What about the Virgin of the Sun, who was said to have a daily job of spinning and weaving, weaving curtains and idols?
I don’t think you look like it!
Your lunge is extended, your hands are holding the spear one after another, and the spear is swung like a wind. You have already caught up with the senior warriors!
Sun Virgin, and samurai types? !
The surprise on his face was too obvious. Luo Xia laughed, and then explained to him:
"The Virgin of the Sun, according to legend, will enter the palace and become the concubine of the Sun God. According to the myth here, during the divine war, the concubines will follow the Sun God and go to the battlefield together. Therefore, some with particularly good qualifications Virgins of the Sun will also be trained as warriors.”
That's it...
Gretel nodded silently, his mind still not turning around. So there are several types of Sun Virgins, the low-end ones are considered palace maids, the mid-range ones are considered female officials, and the high-end ones are considered concubines of gods? Different identities, different trainings?
But no matter what, it is better to see a Sun Virgin who will resist bravely and fight for her life than to see a Sun Virgin who will cry and run over to pull them into the water.
Not only was Grete in a good mood, but Cerela also took a step forward, eager to protect this girl. After taking a step, they suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked the monk who led them:
"What's going on?"
She raised her voice deliberately when she said this, and the lingering sound spread to the other side. An old priest just walked out of the pursuers. He wanted to shout angrily, but he stopped and looked at them carefully.
Seeing that Gretel and his gang had a unique appearance and full of momentum, they didn't dare to make any mistakes. They turned to Sun Virgin and shouted:
"Tiya! Put down your weapons! Let's talk about anything you have to say! You are a virgin who serves the sun god. What do you look like dressed like this in front of outsiders?"
"I can't talk if I put down my weapons!" Tiya retorted even more fiercely:
"You also know that I am a virgin of the sun! I am a virgin of the sun! No man should even come in where we live! You-"
"shut up!"
The old priest's expression changed drastically and he stopped and shouted. Before he finished speaking, Della Van Locia had already walked forward. With a shake of his hand, a gray-green cloak fell lightly on Tiya.
She turned to the front of the Virgin of the Sun and carefully pulled Tia's cloak up. With a wave of his fingers, the two sides of the cloak were tightly closed and adhered to each other, making it seamless.
The soft fabric fell gently from Tiya's shoulders to her ankles, quietly and properly, without even half an inch of skin being exposed. After doing all this, the elf spellcaster retreated and returned to the team, without saying a word from beginning to end.
The old priest's angry shout was interrupted by this, and his face turned pale and red, red and white again. After a long time, I struggled to come up with one sentence:
"What are you doing?!"
"You said that dressing like this in front of outsiders doesn't look good." Luo Xia replied lightly. She returned the old priest's words and lowered her eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Gretel tried his best to hold back his laughter:
The point is, that elf cloak is wind-resistant, warm, waterproof, and moisture-proof, and it also comes with several magic spells.
Everyone's cloak has different spells attached to it, and Grete doesn't know what it comes with, but there are probably one or two protective spells, invisibility, flying, etc...
In other words, if Tiya makes good use of the magic of this elf cloak, maybe, maybe, maybe, she can escape?
The old priest's face looked uncertain. He looked at Tiya, at Grete and his party, and at the monks, warriors, and other people of all kinds standing around, and let out a long sigh:
"Please come over to the high priest!"
When the high priest came over, the group of people had been led to the back of the temple and sat down in a smaller hall. The monks from the temple came and went, carrying wooden trays and bringing warm drinks to Gretel and others.
After they each took a cup, they brought the wooden tray to the high priest:
A hot milky white drink served in a thick, somewhat rough earthenware cup. Serira held the cup and curiously observed the patterns on the cup body, using her fingers to trace the black and red lines and the dancing little figures;
Bernard and Losia both picked up their glasses and drank without looking. Of course, Bernard relied on the barbarian's physical strength and strong resistance to poison. Losia, Gretel suspected that she had secretly lost the [Detect Poison] spell;
Gretel himself must throw away the [Poison Detection] spell. The fingertips flickered, and she touched the rim of the cup gently, and then she put down the cup gently with a straight face:
The spell showed that there was some poison in this drink - not strong, it could even be said to be quite weak, but it was indeed there.
Judging from the fact that they drink the same drink as the high priest, the toxicity may not be directed at them, but that the daily drinks of local monks contain certain psychotropic ingredients. To be honest, this is not surprising among indigenous monks.
Tiya sat alone, keeping a straight face and saying nothing, and did not pick up the earthenware cup on the wooden plate. There was a long strip protruding from the bottom of the elf's cloak. It was obvious that she had not let go of the spear until she walked here. Grete nodded secretly, looked at the high priest, and waited for him to speak:
You invited us over, what's the matter? You don’t have to be in a daze!
The high priest glanced past Tiya and wanted to say something, but held back. He turned to Grete and the others, his eyes lingered on a few people, and finally he aimed at Grete:
"Dear guests who have come from afar, thank you for visiting the temple, and thank you for your respect for the Sun God. - I heard from Paro, do you want to bring back a statue of the Sun God?"
"That's what I thought." Gretel noticed his subtle expression and frowned secretly.
Among the group of people, Luo Xia is the elder in terms of age, and Luo Xia is the strongest in terms of strength. She was the one who spoke before and put the cloak on Virgin of the Sun——
That's it, you still chose yourself to talk to. Do you think you are easy to talk to, or do you simply think that he, a male, is the one who makes the decision among the group?
Thinking this way, when he spoke, he was a little rude:
"But now, I am a little hesitant. It is said that the statues in the temple are all woven by devout sun virgins. The sun virgins who were forced to rush out of the temple can really bring the sun with them. God’s blessing?”
The high priest's face suddenly darkened. He flicked the ribbon on his chest. It was a ribbon woven from extremely fine colored alpaca hair and studded with beads of various colors. Even its body was almost covered. Looking at the Sun Virgin beside him, he said coldly:
"Tiya, what did you say?"
"We have indeed been treated unfairly!" Tiya responded with her head raised. She stretched out her left hand from under the cloak, with her five fingers together, the fingertips pointing upward, and the nails glittered with gold:
"In the name of the sanctity of the sun god Viracocha! In the name of my piety! We, the Sun Virgins in the temple, have been harassed by outsiders for a long time!"
As she spoke, a faint golden light always shrouded her body, and even became stronger and stronger, coating the gray-green cloak with a layer of golden light. Obviously, this Sun Virgin has indeed received the favor and attention of the Sun God, and even at this time, it has not faded:
"Some people keep invading our territory and bullying our sisters. Some even want to give our sisters to outsiders to enjoy!"
"Tiya, you must have evidence when you say this!"
The high priest asked solemnly. Tiya raised her head fearlessly:
"I am willing to identify! I am willing to perform a divination ceremony before God to prove my honesty and innocence! - If I lie, I, Tia, the Virgin of the Sun, would rather be pierced by a hundred spears!"
"as you wish."
The high priest stood up sullenly. Soon, a long row of sacrifices was laid out in front of the statue in the temple hall, with a row of monks standing on the left and right.
Gretel and others were also at the end of the monks' team, looking curiously:
Divination ceremony before gods?
What is the divination ceremony before this sun god like?
Will God directly perform miracles?
