Chapter 269 The Goddess Is An Acting School 15

"No way," the bearded man turned his head regretfully and said to several people, "he's not breathing anymore."

Two members of the committee at the side of the carriage took off their hats and saw the poor dead man off.

There was still a day or so away from the holy capital, and their hearts had already drifted to that bustling place ahead of time. Unexpectedly, they would encounter a corpse that had just died on the last stretch of the road.

It was planned to have a pleasant picnic on this meadow, but obviously no one is in the mood now.

The bearded man wasted a lot of water, washed his hands several times, and wiped them carefully.

This level of meticulousness was second only to his usual grooming of that beautiful beard, so Duoji couldn't help but glance at him.

"It's the venom of the Quienna snake." Lan Shuying looked at the corpse and said softly.

From the superficial symptoms of the corpse, it can be seen roughly, but the more precise result was told by Ghost Tong.

The bearded man was a little surprised that she was so sharp, spread his hands, and said, "Yes, this area happens to be the area that these little guys like. We post warning notices every year, but there are always careless people ignoring it."

"Yes." Lan Shuying nodded, and suddenly asked him: "Approximately how many people die from snake venom every year?"

She only knew that in Agatha's hometown, about ten people were bitten by poisonous snakes every month in those five villages, and the death rate of those who were not rescued in time was almost [-]%. lethal.In Agatha's memory, imperial officials come to count the population every year, so this part of the data should be available in files.

"It's hard to say. What I mean is... There are special people responsible for statistics, and there are files left in the temple. If Miss Agatha is interested, you can apply." A committee member interrupted.

Lan Shuying asked casually: "What years are included in the dossier?"

"Every year." The bearded man said.

"When will it be delivered this year?"

The bearded man thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "August...September at the latest, it depends on their progress." He is really not sure, because the committee has no connection with the two parties. Most of the time, They only deal with candidates for Goddess Avatar.

There are also different positions within the committee: those who are passionate about power tend to be kings and nobles, those who are loyal to their faith tend to be high priests, and he should belong to the centrist...or the opportunistic faction is fine.

The bearded man's eyes fell on the girl unconsciously.

Another committee member sneered: "I remember it was delivered in June at the very beginning. These bastards who betrayed their faith, they will regret it sooner or later."

When the fanatic's cursing ended, the topic ended with it.

Several people ate the dry bread in silence and continued on the road.

Even Dorji, who has always been very curious, lowered his head and pretended not to hear the conversation. This clever boy had already discovered the clue: the imperial officials were in charge of counting the population. It can be regarded as disrespect to the temple, even provocation.

If the conflict between the village head and the temple is considered secret, then now, Dorji has already smelled the thick smoke from the core of the holy capital.

The bearded man focused on observing Lan Shuying's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

This six-year-old girl seems to have been instructed by someone. Her expression control ability is quite good, and he has no idea what she is thinking.The bearded man suddenly felt relieved, looking forward, excited, and full of confidence—this kind of candidate should be the best one, and she would not lose to others.

The carriage rattled on.

What awaits her ahead may be good intentions, flattery, or... hidden murderous intentions.

This is a white building standing in the center of the holy capital, tall and majestic, with the weight given by history and the solemnity given to it by faith.

The girl in red has a slightly immature face, but her eyes are inevitably stained with vicissitudes.

Her hands were pressed against the white jade railing, and there was a sneering smile on her lips, "You are not much better than me. After I abdicate, I will still be the most honorable duchess, and you...hehe."

The target was a mature woman, about 30 years old, with a stiff face, and a large swath of bright red eyeshadow that almost took away her gaze. Under this exaggerated makeup, it seemed that there was a cold and lonely soul hidden.

It is also a gorgeous and complicated red dress, but around the woman's neck are many necklaces of different shapes, the most eye-catching one is under the huge amber, which seems to be sealed with a snake-shaped object.

The woman sits in a large sacred throne, and the flaming scepter, which symbolizes theocracy, stands upright on her right hand.

"...You should leave." She closed her eyes slightly, her voice was calm and tired, as if if it wasn't for the girl in red chattering here, she wouldn't even want to say these words.

……

"That's it. If Miss Agatha doesn't understand something, I'll say it again."

The bearded man said sincerely.

Lan Shuying waved her hand, she understood.

"We live in the Varda Temple and have a week of free activities. After a week, we will gather in the city center and enter the temple to take the assessment. Those who pass the test will start a three-month study and then become a new incarnation. Am I right? ?” she asked.

The bearded man was very relieved, and regretted that he had said too complicatedly before.

Regarding the undercurrents of the temple and the royal family, and the conflict between the incarnations of the old and new goddesses, what does this have to do with Agatha?She just needs to go all the way according to the schedule, stepping on other candidates, and stepping on the throne.

That's enough, isn't it?

He was excited again.

It wasn't until Lan Shuying kindly reminded him that it was time for him to go back and write the report that Beard left reluctantly, but he left behind an assistant—if she wanted to take a good tour of the holy capital, this assistant would be her last choice. good tour guide.

"Agatha..." Duoji managed to avoid the assistant with sharp eagle eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Our training..."

"Business as usual."

Lan Shuying smiled calmly.

Finally, I no longer stay with those committee members.

During this period of time, she monopolized a carriage and was able to quietly practice her internal skills every day. Duoji would be miserable. He had no chance to practice both internal skills and light skills.

Now it's finally back to normal.

Duoji grinned almost to the ears, and walked into the assistant's narrow room with his caring eyes.

"And..." Lan Shuying urged behind him, "Tomorrow we will go to the wild, and I want to see what kinds of species are here."

The assistant has question marks in his eyes.

Only Dorje, who had lived with her in the wild, understood that she meant that the snake-catching plan had to be restarted.Thinking of the bottles of venom in the room and the slippery touch left by the snakes in the palm of his hand, Duoji's smile shrank silently.
