Chapter 1047 Gretel: Is there such a type of Sun Virgin?!
The moment the Virgin of the Sun rushed over, Gretel reflexively...
took a step back.
Flicking his fingers, brushing, brushing, brushing, he applied a row of defensive spells to himself. At the same time, Cerela 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 see that Bernard has followed him? Stand behind him, solid and sturdy, like an iron tower, which makes you feel particularly safe.
The escaping Virgin of the Sun was originally carrying a long skirt and running towards them in a state of embarrassment. She seemed to be panicking and wanted to grab a handful of straw, even if it was 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——
There was a crisp tearing sound. Then, Grete's expression also changed:
The Virgin of the Sun tore open the long skirt she was carrying. After brushing it twice, the long skirt turned into a short skirt that only reached two inches above the knees. She carried the remaining skirt in her hands.
, a twist, a wave——
A masterpiece of golden light!
The hem of the skirt in her hand looked like a statue of a god, or in other words, a preparation for a statue of a god. In short, it was a piece of cloth soaked in divine power. When it exploded, Gretel subconsciously
He 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, subconsciously dodging in all directions. If viewed from above, it looked like a flower that suddenly exploded.
Like half of it.
The Virgin of the Sun waved her skirt and forced the pursuers back, then turned around and killed them. She snatched a spear from the pursuers' hands and swung it hard, drawing a 3/4 arc circle.
There was a sharp sound of wind on the tip of the spear, and golden light flashed. It forced the group of pursuers to stagger and retreat. One young soldier simply fell to the ground.
Gretel slowly opened his mouth.
...Sister, where are the virgins 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 statues of gods?
I don’t think you look like it!
With your lunge stretched out and your hands holding the spear one after the other, and the sound of the spear hanging in the wind, you have already caught up with the senior warriors!
Sun Virgin, and samurai type?!
The look of 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 mythology here, when the gods fight, 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-end ones are female officials, and the high-end ones are concubines of gods? Different statuses require different trainings?
But no matter what, it makes people feel better to see a Sun Virgin who will resist bravely and fight for their lives than to see a Sun Virgin who will cry and run over to pull them into the water.
Not only was Gretel in a good mood, but Cerela also took a step forward, eager to protect the girl. After taking a step, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked the monk who was leading them:
"What's going on?"
She deliberately raised her voice when she said these words, and the reverberations were heard all the way to the other side. An old priest had just walked out of the pursuers. He wanted to shout angrily, but he stopped talking 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 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 face changed drastically and he stopped. Before he finished speaking, Dela Van Losia had already stepped 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 up the cloak for Tiya. With a wave of her 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, with not even an inch of skin exposed. After doing all this, the elf caster retreated and returned to the team. From beginning to end,
Say nothing.
The old priest's angry shouting was interrupted by this, and his face turned pale and red, red and white again. For a long time, he struggled to say one sentence:
"What are you doing?!"
"You said that it's not cool to dress like this in front of outsiders." Losia replied lightly. She returned the old priest's words and lowered her eyes again, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Gretel tried her best to hold back her laughter.
:
The point is, that elf cloak is wind-resistant, warm, waterproof, moisture-proof, and it also comes with several magic spells.
Everyone's cloak has different spells attached to it, and Gretel doesn't know what it comes with, but there are probably one or two protective spells, invisibility spells, flying spells, 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 expression was gloomy and uncertain. He looked at Tiya, Grete and his entourage, then looked at the monks, warriors, and other people of all kinds who were standing around, and he 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 of 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:
The hot milky white drink was served in a thick, somewhat rough earthenware cup. Serira held the cup and curiously observed the patterns on the cup body, tracing the black and red lines with her fingers, and the dancing little girl.
people;
Both Bernard and Losia didn't look at it, just picked up the cup and drank. Of course, Bernard relied on his savage body strength and strong resistance to poison, and Losia and Gretel suspected that she had secretly thrown it away.
[Detect Poison] spell;
Grete himself must throw away the [Poison Detection] spell. His fingertips flickered, and he lightly touched the rim of the cup, then with a straight face, he gently put down the cup:
The spell shows that there is some poison in this drink - not strong, it can even be said to be quite weak, but it is 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 local monks’ daily drinks contain certain psychotropic ingredients. To be honest, this is really unusual among the indigenous monks.
strangeness.
Tiya sat alone on one side, keeping a straight face and saying nothing, and did not pick up the pottery cup on the wooden tray. There was a long bar protruding from the bottom of the elf's cloak. It was obvious that she had not let go of the bar until she walked here.
Spear Gretel nodded secretly, looked at the high priest, and waited for him to speak:
What's the matter with you inviting us over? You don't have to be in a daze!
The high priest's eyes passed over Tiya, and he wanted to say something, but he held back his words. He turned to Grete and the others, his eyes lingered on several 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 that 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, Rosia is the elder in terms of age, and she is the strongest in terms of strength. She was the one who spoke before, and the one who put the cloak on the 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?
With this thought in mind, 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 statues woven by 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 turned gloomy. He flicked the ribbon on his chest. It was a ribbon woven with extremely fine colored alpaca hair and studded with beads of various colors. Even its body was almost covered. He looked at the ribbon on the side.
Sun Virgin said coldly:
"Tiya, what did you say?"
"We have indeed been treated unfairly!" Tia raised her head and responded. She stretched out her left hand from under the cloak, with her fingers together, the fingertips pointing upward, and the golden light on her nails flashed:
"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, the dull golden light always shrouded her body, and even became stronger and stronger, coating the gray-green cloak with a layer of golden light. It was obvious that this Sun Virgin was indeed favored and paid attention to by the Sun God.
Even now it has not faded:
siluke
"Some people keep invading our territory and bullying our sisters. Some even want to give our sisters to outsiders for enjoyment!"
"Tiya, you must have evidence when you say this!"
The high priest asked in a deep voice. Tiya raised her head fearlessly:
"I am willing to identify! I am willing to perform a divination ceremony in front of God to prove my honesty and innocence! - If I tell a lie, I, Tia, the Virgin of the Sun, would rather be pierced by a hundred spears!"
"as you wish."
The high priest stood up with a gloomy face. 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?
