Chapter 861 Lanci and Sigrid’s date in the monastery
After Ranchi completed registration and received the access voucher, he and Sigrid went to the ward area upstairs.
The two of them walked down the neat corridors of the hospital, and there were gradually no other people around.
"Speaking of Lan Qi, since it's rare for me to dress so formally and go out today, I might as well play around in Brilda before going home."
Sigrid bumped Lanqi with her shoulder as if nothing had happened.
There are some things that you may have wanted to say from the beginning, but along the way you felt that there were still more opportunities, so you hesitated and procrastinated until you were almost at your destination and you were able to force yourself to say them out quickly and calmly.
"No problem, I haven't played much in Brilda yet."
Lan Qi looked seriously and answered confidently.
"Then today my sister will take you to have some fun and relax, just like we did when we dated in Herrom."
Sigrid believed this and said with a grin.
Although Lan Qi has been in Brilda much longer than she has, Lan Qi works non-stop every day and basically only travels to and from key places such as St. Clair's Monastery, the Imperial Special Operations Office and the Opera House.
The rest of the time is spent either recuperating through sleep or continuing to be extremely busy.
If Violet likes it later, she can leave the big gray cat with Violet. Anyway, this cat is the cat of the monastery, and if it is placed with the principal, it will be returned to its original owner.
If the big gray cat wanted to go to their house for dinner again, it would probably easily find its way back.
"Meow?"
The big gray cat raised its head in Sigrid's arms and looked at Lanqi.
Lan Qi and Sigrid also had a date in the Northern Continent?
Forget it, when she was fighting Hyacintos, she saw the two of them dancing together in a close distance and accepted it. She heard that the two of them had been on a date a long time ago, so she was really fine with it.
"Almost there."
"After all, you were here this morning."
"Even if some people come here once, they might go around for a long time."
"What do you mean?"
Chatting all the way, it didn't take long for the two of them to find Violet's special ward on the fifth floor of the Elseiya Sanctuary Healing Center. After ringing the doorbell and getting Violet's permission, they opened the door.
The window of this living room-like single ward faces the sunny side, allowing the afternoon natural light to gently flow into the room. Through the window, the patient sitting on the bed can also enjoy the outdoor garden scenery.
"Professor Landry, and..."
As soon as Violet saw Lan Qi, she noticed the woman with light hair and purple eyes following behind him.
Even without the need for words, Violet felt the same kind of aura the moment she looked into those purple eyes.
That is a bloodline power that is different from ordinary humans.
"My Lord Cardinal Sigrid."
Violet quickly guessed the identity of the visitor.
"Lord High Priest."
When Sigrid was called like this, she quickly lowered her head, hugged the cat and bowed slightly to salute the other party.
"..."
Lan Qi saw that neither of them raised their heads, and found that both of them were a little reserved when they met for the first time, and even used honorifics to each other.
Violet knew how powerful Sigrid was. Not only had she made great contributions in the attack on Bloodmoon City and the decisive battle of Brilda, but she was also the most powerful individual in frontal combat among her kind.
Sigrid, on the other hand, has worshiped the Moon God for a long time and has natural respect for Violet, the High Priest of the Moon God.
This look is very similar to Lan Qi's state when he first met the Queen when he was Prime Minister during the Blood Moon era.
"There is no need for you to use honorifics. Although we have never met, we are already partners who have fought side by side."
Lan Qi put down the snack box and preached to them.
The atmosphere seemed to lighten up with Lan Qi's words.
Sigrid looked at Violet first.
"Meow."
Thalia Cat remembers Hyperion saying that Lanqi was someone who would not let a party go cold in the Demon King's City of Nekalis in the Shadow World. He could quickly go to a strange environment and then become a celebrity and become familiar with the people around him. Then
That's how McCarthy's Restaurant came about.
Violet's eyes slowly raised and looked at the big gray cat in Sigrid's arms.
"Miss Sigrid, can you touch it for me?"
Violet spoke awkwardly, her heart beating like a drum.
She had been curious about this cat for a long time, but she didn't expect that Professor Landry actually found it and was carried by Sigrid.
Since other people besides Professor Landry can hold it, it means that it should be held by others.
"certainly."
Sigrid placed the cat in front of Violet, and Violet immediately reached out to catch it.
Violet's expression was slightly surprised. She didn't expect to be able to contact the cat so smoothly.
Sure enough, a plush feeling that was softer and warmer than expected came from the palms, wrists and arms.
This cat is more well-behaved than expected, just like a ragdoll, and will not move even if she is touched.
"On the day of the Lunar Festival, you gave it a lot of cakes specially provided by St. Creation Monastery. After returning home, it ate them all. It is very grateful to you, so it is natural for you to get close to it."
Lan Qi stood beside the hospital bed and preached.
"It actually remembers me."
Violet hugged the warm cat tightly, it was warmer than winter blankets and quilts.
"It's so smart. It's completely different from younger kittens that can only carry out simple life activities."
Lan Qi replied.
"..."
At first glance, Thalia thought that Lan Qi was doing the job of the cat boss.
Later, after further analysis, we found that he was building the plank road openly to visit Chen Cang secretly.
If Thalia hadn't been pretending to be a cat at this moment, she would have launched a gray cat attack on Lanqi.
"That's it."
Violet nodded happily and petted the gray cat with more peace of mind.
When she saw Professor Landry holding it that day, Violet thought it would be a more unruly and arrogant cat.
But after thinking about the state of the big gray cat lying limply in Professor Landry's arms, Violet was relieved.
"I didn't expect to see compatriots from afar at St. Creation's Monastery today."
Violet stroked the cat's soft hair contentedly and looked at the visitor Sigrid.
"Yes, I'm very happy to meet you. The prayer ceremony on the day of the Moon God Festival was really beautiful. Your voice, high priest, was so ethereal that it made me feel relaxed and happy. I came to see your prayer dance."
Sigrid nodded repeatedly and blinked.
On the night of the Lunar Festival, she was among the lively crowd in the monastery, watching Violet's dance from a distance, which was very consistent with her imagination of the Moon God.
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
Violet shook her head slightly.
She was a little embarrassed to be praised so directly to her face, not to mention that the Catholic Church gave such a high evaluation.
Just looking at Sigrid's throbbing eyes, Violet knew that Sigrid's words did not contain any compliments or flattery, but came from the sincerity of her heart.
"In fact, if we place it in ancient times, in addition to the high priest, wolf warriors like you can also dance war dances at the wolf tribe's moon god ceremony. When you heard the moon goddess's hymn, you should also feel the moon god's
Call?"
Violet turned to Sigrid and asked Sigrid to sit on the chair next to the hospital bed.
"Well, I am also intoxicated. The hymn is melodious and melodious, accompanied by the harp and flute and goes straight into my heart. When I recited the hymn of Elsayah, I just felt as if I had traveled millions of years and returned to the age of the gods."
Sigrid sat down and agreed.
She also reached out and poked the cat.
"The first time I heard that song was when I followed my mother on a pilgrimage to the Temple of the Moon. It was late autumn, and the mountains and forests were completely dyed, and the leaves all over the mountains and plains were burning like fire. My mother said that it was the song written by the goddess Elsaiah.
The carpet laid by the world welcomes us to her holy land. Once night comes, everything will be dyed with the clear light of the silver moon, extinguishing all the suffering in the world."
Violet was telling Sigrid.
“What a beautiful interpretation.”
Sigrid had never had the opportunity to listen to the Moon God Priest explain the inheritance of the Moon God before. Most of them were myths she had learned about in the Northern Continent.
"But if you were living in the Northern Continent, how did you become a believer of the Moon Goddess?"
Violet had already judged Sigrid's attitude towards the Moon Goddess from Sigrid's reaction.
However, in today's era, the wolf clan no longer has a tribe. For example, Violet still has the inherited high priest of the moon, while Sigrid is almost a scattered wolf clan living outside.
"I suffered from a serious illness when I was young. The nuns from the orphanage took me to the Moon God Church in the North Continent for help. I was finally rescued by the church priests. I felt the moonlight in the Moon God Church, and it was like
I found my ancestors, and it was the radiance of the Moon Goddess that gave me extraordinary vitality. From then on, I gradually began to believe in the Moon Goddess."
Sigrid recalled the past.
"Everything is a gift from the ancestors and goddess."
A warm current surged in Violet's heart.
It turns out that the compatriots in front of me have the same characteristics as myself, and they have grown up bathed in the light of the Moon God since childhood.
The seeds of faith are buried deep in the heart, and as time goes by, they take root and sprout, blooming into the most holy flowers.
Suddenly, a crisp bell rang.
The two of them followed the sound and saw the white clock tower outside the garden ringing the three o'clock bell in the afternoon. The lingering sound lingered and became clearer and melodious.
"Today is actually the third week after the end of the Moon God Festival. Every year after the full moon of the Moon God Festival, there will be small activities during the evening prayer time in the half moon, new moon, and new moon. If you stroll around the monastery tonight, maybe
You will also see moon lanterns and hear hymns sung by the priests."
Violet tells Sigrid and Ranch.
Originally, she would probably host these activities, but this year she can only recuperate here, and Naira will be solely responsible.
"I love singing carols at night the most. Especially on a full moon night, the silver light is projected into the temple from the flower windows. Together with the singing, it is holy and solemn. You can feel that the goddess is beside you."
Sigrid smiled and looked up at Lan Qi.
It looks like they will be able to leisurely wander around the monastery tonight.
"Then let's go take a look."
Lan Qi agreed.
"Violet, please take care of this gray cat for us."
Sigrid preached to Violet.
"Is it really okay?"
Violet didn't expect to be able to play alone with the gray cat for so long.
"Meow."
Thalia was hesitant at first, but she thought that if she continued to follow Lanqi and Sigrid, she might be exposed by them when they took her home later. She might as well stay with Violet first, and then go home by herself.
This way, you can seamlessly appear as Thalia.
"It seems that it also agrees."
Sigrid stroked the big gray cat's smooth tail and said happily,
"I still remember the priest of the Church of the Moon told a legend about the goddess. On a snowy night, there was a lost wolf that was frozen in the snow and dying. Elsaiya showed mercy and drove the Moon Bridge.
Come here, warm the little wolf with the bright moonlight, and moisten its lips and tongue with moon dew. The little wolf finally comes to life and becomes the guardian of the goddess."
Sigrid told it vividly.
She and Violet couldn't help but talk about the goddess's deeds again.
"Is this the original version of the Northern Continent? But the kindness of the Moon Goddess not only protects humans, but also benefits all living creatures."
Violet was filled with emotions,
"In fact, the ancient murals here record that the wolf tribe itself had a connection with the Moon Goddess during the Age of Gods..."
The two couldn't stop talking about the moon god. From hymns to the silver moon and the goddess of healing to myths, their worship of the moon god was beyond words.
Lan Qi crossed his arms and listened to their chat, as quiet as a big gray cat.
Legend has it that the wolf tribe is a race created by the Silver Moon Goddess during the Age of Gods. For them, the Moon Goddess is the ancestor among their ancestors.
For ordinary Moon God believers, they do not have this kind of closeness and reverence for the Moon God.
So Lan Qi couldn't say too much, and listening quietly was the greatest respect.
"By the way, have you heard? The Creation Empire may move closer to respecting the Moon God rather than the God of War."
While Violet was telling Sigrid, she looked at Ranchi again.
She also just heard the internal news of the empire from her fellow Military God.
"No."
Lan Qi and Sigrid both shook their heads.
After resolving the chaos in the Creaur Empire, neither of them asked about Creaan's national affairs, and they had no desire to interfere. The future of the Creaan Empire still had to be decided by the people of Creaan.
But listening to Violet's words, they also somewhat understood what Violet wanted to express.
There used to be three giant kingdoms on the land of the Creja Empire, namely the Seiros Empire, the Elsaiya Sanctuary, and the Wenxi Free Federation.
The Seros Empire believes in the god of war and swords.
Elsaya Sanctuary believes in the god of silver moon and healing.
The Free Federation of West Vancouver believes in the god of storm and freedom.
The Creain Empire was established with the final winner, the Seros Empire, as the main body, so the God of War has always been the most respected god by the Creain royal family.
But now a new era has begun.
Even the newly appointed emperor is no longer a member of the Seiros royal family, so there is no need to firmly respect the God of War who is sensitive to war. The next goal is to cease war and maintain peace. Then the Moon God and the Wind God will be more suitable to replace the God of War in Cleopatra.
The status of the Ruixuan Empire.
Generally speaking, most large countries will have a main god they have believed in since ancient times, and there may be more than one.
For example, the main god believed in by the Kingdom of Hutton is the god of fate and reincarnation, while the main god believed by the Kingdom of Posen is the god of love and will.
As for the Crayu Empire, since it was originally formed by the merger of three kingdoms, the God of War, the Moon God, and the Wind God can all be called the main gods of Craui's faith. The largest headquarters of the Moon God Church and the Fengshen Church in the southern continent are both in
Empire of Creation.
The Sixth Army God Water Beryl Violet is the High Priest of the Moon God, and the Eleventh Army God Emerald Simon Luo is the Director of the Wind God Code. Whether it is to dominate the Moon God or the Wind God in the Creation Empire, it is against the War God.
It's very convenient internally.
"Then why not simply regard the Goddess of Destiny as the new main deity of Creation? The new emperor happens to be the high priest of the Goddess of Destiny's church. In this way, he will become the Holy Emperor and directly combine the divine power and imperial power."
Sigrid asked.
"..."
Violet was silent.
The Thalia cat in her hand also looked at Lanqi.
Thalia felt that Lanqi and Sigrid completely shared the same brain and had the same ideas.
This kind of reversal of history happened once.
"Forcing the Church of Destiny to become the new main church of the Creager Empire is not very good. Neither Loren nor Artis are willing to do this. After all, they still have to respect the culture and historical traditions of the local residents, and the Destiny is not that kind of person.
An evil god who needs to be preached with extra urgency.”
Lanci thought for a while and then spoke to Sigrid.
An emperor like Loren, who had no ambition and was forced to put out fires, would definitely not be able to reverse the course of history.
"Yes, in the end, the Moon God may become the subject."
Violet told them the results of the empire's discussions.
Loren's beliefs are relatively subtle. He is the great priest of the goddess of destiny, and his best spells and divine arts have many connections with the wind god.
But in Simonro's view, the symbolic meaning of the Moon God is still the most suitable for the Creation Empire.
"So in the end, perhaps a modern Moon Temple will need to be built, and it will no longer be limited to ancient ruins like St. Creation's Monastery, but a Moon Temple built by the current Creation Empire people to commemorate the innocent sacrifices.
and remember the gentleness and mercy of the Moon Goddess.”
Violet continued talking.
"Then your status in the empire will rise to the level of the Pope."
Lan Qi wished Violet in advance.
"Although I am happy that the Moon God can be believed in by more people in the empire, I am actually not willing to bear so much power..."
Violet sighed.
For her, power is not convenience, but all responsibility.
"For example, just how to finalize the construction plan of the Brilda Moon Temple will give me a headache for a while. I really hope that the great craftsman from a hundred years ago can be resurrected."
Violet now almost thought that if she could lie in the hospital bed for a day, it would be an extra day of rest.
"I do know an expert in civil engineering, but her temper...if you ask her to do infrastructure construction, she might get very angry."
Lanci immediately thought of the talented craftsmen of the Brilda Opera House.
After seeing the opera house built by Abigail, the mafia's underground barrier, and Abigail's reliable attack team camp in Blood Moon City, Lan Qi was convinced that Abigail was born to do big projects.
.
But just asking Abigail to study magic engineering will make Abigail very bored. If she is asked to be responsible for building buildings, unless the dimensional branch is very short of money, Abigail will most likely not agree.
"If we knock on the temple, Abigail might agree. After all, it's related to art, and it has less to do with magic engineering."
Sigrid preached from the side.
"Then I'll try to ask Miss Abigail when the time comes, but in terms of architectural design, I'm not sure if she's good at designing temples."
Violet also suddenly thought that there was such a versatile dimensional saint in the Silver Moon Restoration Society.
"Did you know? I have actually seen the Moon Temple in the wolf tribe's holy land tens of thousands of years ago!"
Sigrid grabbed Violet and suddenly remembered something with slight excitement.
In her dream, she had some impressions of Sigre's wolf clan's holy land in the Blood Moon Bad World. Later, she also saw some records of the wolf clan's moon temple in the books she read on the way to the shadow world.
"Really? What's it like?"
Violet immediately sat up straighter with the cat in her arms and asked Sigrid.
"Well, how should I describe it? The Moon Temple that was destroyed for tens of thousands of years is really beautiful."
Sigrid frowned, feeling that she lacked vocabulary and could not describe it in words for Violet.
She tried hard to explain, but the more she spoke, the more confused Violet became.
Because she couldn't even describe the map of the Holy Land clearly.
"..."
Lan Qi silently picked up the notes and pen on the bedside table in the ward.
He sat on the sofa on one side of the room and began to draw the scene of the Moon Temple that he had seen in the books about the Blood Moon Bad Era.
After a while, when Sigrid could only describe the most distinctive scenes of some specific wolf tribe's holy land, Lan Qi handed her a brief schematic diagram.
Sigrid's eyes lit up instantly, she hugged Lanqi and hugged him closely, and then showed the simple drawing to Violet.
"Professor Landry, can you still draw?"
Violet looked at the picture that Professor Landry drew in a short time in surprise.
At just one glance, I was attracted by the painting in Sigrid's hand.
There were no unnecessary brushstrokes in this sketch. Every corner seemed to have a story waiting to be discovered. It also seemed to be just a scene drawn by the professor in front of her. She couldn't help but imagine and speculate at this moment. If these sketches turned into real scenes,
What a scene in the Temple of the Moon will be!
She soon understood that Professor Landry was not only very good at painting, but also a painter whose level was unimaginable to her.
"A little bit better."
Lan Qi smiled relievedly.
He has done a lot of everything in the past two years, but he has done very little painting.
Over time, not only him, but also the people around him may have forgotten that he can actually draw.
"Meow."
Thalia Cat looked at the painting in Violet's hand.
She has not forgotten this boy's painting skills.
Both "Poor and Poor Old Lady" and "Mysterious Beauty" impressed her deeply.
However, the reason why Lan Qi has such painting skills may still be related to the dream in which he drunkenly broke into the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.
The life of Lanclos of the Black Sun was actually very long, much longer than that of a human being, because he turned into an undead after his death, and he probably spent a long time with Tamisha.
Although it is possible that Lanclos's soul was fragmented and could not retain his memories and reincarnated smoothly, the goddess of fate probably tried her best to retain Lanclos's painting talent and the state of mind accumulated during the painful journey, so she was sent to another world to spend a period of time.
Lanqi, the protagonist of the leisurely years, had no enemies to fight during this period, so he probably could only spend most of his time honing his painting skills.
In this way, twenty or thirty years have passed, and Lanci's painting skills may have been rehabilitated and honed in a new environment to the point where they surpass Lancros.
As a result, Lan Qi didn't paint much anymore, and all he could feel was a sense of relaxation that looked down upon everything.
"Professor Landry, could you please draw me a few more schematic diagrams of the Wolf Clan's Holy Land in your mind? I believe that the construction plan of the Brilda Moon Temple will be based on the schematic diagrams you gave me.
It will definitely pass and become a famous building in Brílda.”
Violet asked Lan Qi to please.
She could guess that Lan Qi and Sigrid had visited the Shadow World thousands of years ago, and that at that time, there was such a Moon Temple building.
“What an honor.”
Lan Qi saw Sigrid beside her with her hands clasped in supplication, and agreed.
In fact, he would agree no matter what. He would never refuse this kind of charity work, let alone a commission from his friend Violet. Of course, if it can make Sigrid happy, that would be the best.
"However, I have not personally been to the Moon Temple. I only have some knowledge based on some books and documents I read in the Shadow World, which may not be comprehensive."
Lanci added to Violet.
He doesn't guarantee how well he can draw.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Violet waved her hand, even just a few pictures would be of great help.
After all, it cannot be built exactly like the wolf clan's holy land tens of thousands of years ago. It still needs the innovation of modern people.
"If I can remind you of your past memories, will it help restore the Moon Temple?"
Violet thought for a while and asked the two of them.
"Violet, do you have any idea?"
Sigrid asked in surprise and nodded affirmatively.
"Did you know? There is a gem called the Forgotten Star buried in St. Creation's Monastery. It is said that if you touch the Forgotten Star at night, you may be able to return to the illusion of the past and recreate your current self.
Experience the beautiful memories again, or try what would happen if you made different choices. By touching them together, you can reach the memories shared by both parties."
Violet remembered that Hyacinthus once looked for the Star of Oblivion in the monastery.
She didn't think the legend of the Forgotten Star was true at first.
At that time, she didn't understand Hyacinthus's expression after searching. She only felt that Hyacinthus was regretful that he had not found the Wangchen Star.
Looking back now, it's possible that Hyacinthus actually found it.
Then maybe the Forgotten Star is really in St. Creation's Monastery.
"Why do you have such an expression when you mention Wangchen Star?"
Lan Qi looked at Violet's eyes and asked her.
Generally speaking, when hearing rumors, Lan Qi would adopt the attitude of waiting and watching before investigating, but seeing Violet's expression, he felt that the legend of Forget the Dust Star would be true.
"I regret that I may have missed the only opportunity to save Hyacinthus."
Violet shook her head and clenched the quilt tightly with her lowered hands.
"Actually, you are probably the only light in his life. He wanted to kill you that day. He also wanted to completely cut off his illusions and expose himself to darkness, but he still couldn't completely make up his mind."
Lan Qi briefly talked about his guess.
In his memory of seeing Hyacinthus, Violet was surprisingly similar to Hyacinthus' sister.
Whenever Hyacinthus sees Violet, he will probably have extremely complicated emotions. He may have thought of deceiving himself, playing the role of a competent first military god in the false gentleness, and enduring his life to muddle along.
Maybe because of seeing Violet, he will realize more clearly that he cannot let go of his hatred. The more real she is, the more false the world seems to Hyacinthus.
"As a careerist, Hyacinthus is a bit too high and too low. He is neither as pure evil as Askosan nor as free and easy as Ivanos to let go of everything. Anyway, he is stuck in the middle."
Sigrid commented on this powerful enemy.
On the way to the ward just now, she also heard Lan Qi finish telling the inside story of the Huadu Incident.
"So I regret it. Maybe I have a chance to stop Hyacinthus before everything becomes irreversible."
Violet held the cat and lowered her head and said, her voice a little hoarse.
"Can you really let him go?"
Sigrid asked Violet.
Hyacintos is just a ticking time bomb.
"..."
Violet did not answer for the time being.
She couldn't tell the answer either.
But if Hyacinthus can pretend to be a good person all his life, then he is almost a real good person.
"It's a pity that Rashar lit a fire for the empire at a critical moment, allowing Hyacinthus to see the possibility and opportunity of subverting the imperial regime, and he happened to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the end."
Lanci said for Violet.
The secret of luck is that some people will wait in advance at the place where luck is likely to happen.
Hyacinthus is obviously someone who is prepared for this kind of opportunity.
He did seize the opportunity.
"Rachael deserves to die."
Sigrid seemed to understand what Violet was thinking and cursed.
She felt disgusted when she thought of the name Rashal.
Back in the Blood Moon era, the reason Kaliela died was because of Rashaer's actions.
However, at the end of the National Day turmoil, Rashael was sealed by the third army god Ge Yat and the eleventh army god Simon Luo. Probably after some time, when Lanqi's nuclear fusion wolf cools down and improves, it will help the empire.
Let Rashal disappear completely.
"Speaking of which, Violet, are you sure that the Forgotten Star is in the monastery?"
Lanci changed the topic back and asked Violet.
If there really was such a stone in St. Creation's monastery, then he and Sigrid could go look for it later, when they were free.
He knew that the monastery of St. Crego occupied a large area, but it was better than searching in Briarda.
"Yes, there should be many at the bottom of the lake. Even if Hyacinthos takes them away, it is impossible to take them all away."
Violet nodded.
"Then can the two of us return to the Northern Continent and visit again?"
Sigrid suddenly asked Lanqi.
"Do you want to go to jail?"
The moment Lan Qi met Sigrid's eyes, he understood where Sigrid wanted to go most.
The city of Bandera on the northern border of the Protos Empire.
"You miss him too?"
Sigrid asked Ranch.
"I really want to."
Lan Qi clenched his fist with some emotion.
"Then why don't we go and have a shot?"
Sigrid suggested.
"Must."
The two hit it off immediately and held hands.
"..."
Violet hugged the cat and opened her mouth slightly.
No, it was a date where you two finally had the opportunity to revisit your old place in a fantasy world.
It turns out that what you all want to do at the same time is to defeat enemies that you have not defeated before?
What kind of enemy is it that makes you so worried?
Chapter completed!
