my age of magic

Chapter 356
The temple square, which is as big as two football fields, is entirely paved with white marble. At noon, the dazzling sun reflects the marble floor into a white color. On the square, there are dozens of people, large and small. Several springs, some craftsmen built some gorgeous sculptures on top of these springs, but among all the sculptures, only the clear spring water flowing at the feet of the Statue of Liberty is the so-called holy water. This retrieves some holy water to take home to drink.

It is said that these holy waters have the effects of eliminating disasters, removing diseases, strengthening the body, prolonging life, etc., which are very effective.

Standing by the pool, I finally knew what method the priests in these temples used to make these ordinary springs have magical powers. The reason is actually very simple. It is said that some priests who are proficient in magic pharmacy mixed a large amount of "recovery" potion into the spring water, so that the whole spring water was diluted countless times. Since the dose of the recovery potion is very small, it is almost impossible to recover. It makes people aware that some people who are slightly sick drink these magical springs, and their bodies will gradually get better. Over time, many people will benefit from this spring water, which will make countless believers We feel that this is the holy water given by the goddess to the mortal world.

There is always endless clear water in the other circular pools, and the holy water flows down in different shapes of sculptures. Among those sculptures, there is a beautiful girl holding a jug high. The spring water flows from the jug carved from white jade. There is also a bunch of giant lilies. The spring water is sprayed from the stamens of the lilies, forming fine water droplets in the air and falling. A beautiful colorful rainbow will appear against the sunlight. Whale-shaped fountains, etc. These exquisite sculptures like works of art always attract many pedestrians to linger. I am shocked by these sculptures, not because of how exquisite the craftsmen are. On the ground, I found some magic lines hidden in it, which are some natural textures, but if these lines are selected one by one, some simple magic runes can appear.

I was thinking right now: Could it be that the runes on those magic trees were all learned from nature?
Countless devout believers are kneeling in front of the Statue of Liberty to pray in this square. I am standing in the center of these believers, wearing a black magic robe, which looks particularly abrupt.Every magician will not have faith. A magician worships the magic he owns. Those various elements, magic circles, and magic runes are what magicians pursue all their lives.So a magic apprentice wearing a black robe would look very different here. I looked up at the Statue of Liberty in front of me, and I remembered Su showing off an extremely simple divine art 'healing' in front of me. I don't know if she has learned new prayers.

It is said that almost every afternoon, there will be bishop-level priests in this square on this square. These believers spread the gospel. They will tell some stories about the Statue of Liberty walking and experiencing in the mortal world, and they will understand some truths in these believers. How ingeniously the Statue of Liberty handles many things.When I came to this square, I actually heard that the bishop who spread the Gospel today is Bishop Anduya, so I came here to find Bishop Anduya and ask him about Su's recent situation.

I couldn't stand the eyes of those believers. When they looked at me, it was like looking at a strange animal. I got out of the crowd and quietly waited for Bishop Anduya to appear on the edge of the square.A group of white pigeons are flying around the edge of the square. They are not afraid of the pedestrians on the square. Just here, occasionally there will be a child carrying a piece of black bread, standing among the pigeons and breaking the black bread in his hand little by little. Crushing, throwing those bread crumbs into the pigeons will always cause some pigeons to fight.

The closer it was to noon, the more people gathered in the square. Before the priests of the temples appeared, nearly a thousand believers gathered in the whole square. It was unexpected that there was such a grand occasion in front of the holy temple.

Finally, a group of priests appeared on the stone steps at the entrance of the main hall of the temple. They were dressed in clothes made of white silk and gorgeous gold thread, and wore tall crowns with hair tied on their heads. Their appearance caused cheers from the entire square , and walking in the front were two old men in red robes. Each of them held a scepter in their hands and walked slowly into a prescription counter under the Statue of Liberty in the center of the square.

The believers in the whole square began to become fanatical. Some people kept throwing flowers at the team of priests, some people cheered in the crowd, and some people kept reciting prayers loudly. The whole square was boiling with excitement. In the crowd, he tried his best to squeeze forward, trying to get to the front of the aisle, so that he might find a chance to have a few words with Bishop Anduya.

At this time, I finally felt that people's potential is infinite. No matter how hard I kept pushing forward, I was still left behind, and I couldn't grab the best position no matter what.At this time, I felt that even with magic, it would not be able to solve any problems. I tried to squeeze in, but when I saw those people stacking up, I felt a little scared.

Standing in the crowd, a beautiful woman with long hair like a flame is so conspicuous. She is still wearing the never-leaving salamander leather armor, and she is not carrying the magical long sword emitting flames. I was surprised to see She nimbly slipped into the isolation wall from the crowd, ran directly in front of the group of priests, and begged an old man in a red robe at the front, "Bishop Anduya, can you tell me that I Where is your younger sister Su now?"

I covered my mouth and didn't know what to say for a while. This girl was a little too courageous. She dared to confront a bishop face to face in front of thousands of believers. In front of the Statue of Liberty, the face of the red-robed archbishop was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. The priests who followed behind the two bishops reacted quickly. When nothing happened, he said to Annie: "Get out of the way quickly. This is a precious time for the bishop to spread the gospel to the believers. Don't stand in the way here."

While speaking, two more priests rushed over, stood on the left and right sides of Annie, and grabbed Annie's shoulders directly.

"What are you going to do!" Annie roared loudly. Annie's body was very flexible, she avoided the blow from the two priests, and took a few steps back.

Another red-robed bishop pointed at Anne, and said to the two priests: "Take her away quickly, find a room to rest for a while, and after our speech is over, Bishop Anduya will deal with her affairs."

Two more strong priests came over, holding black flails stained with blood in their hands, trying to seal the angle Annie wanted to escape, and grabbed Annie's arm again with other hands, but the stubborn Annie didn't Wanting to escape, he clenched his fists tightly, with a perplexed wry smile on his delicate face, looked at Bishop Anduya resentfully and said, "You told me clearly last time, my sister will follow You study discipline magic, but I haven't seen her for two months, but you are still teaching the apprentice priests of the temple, you are a complete liar, tell me, where did you get my sister where?"

Bishop Anduya's face was already black and purple, his slightly swollen eye circles looked a bit blue, and under the sharp hooked nose was a thin lip, the blue lips were slightly drawn down, and the haze His eyes stared at Anne like poisonous stingers, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "It's a bunch of nonsense, when did I tell you that I would teach your sister the magic of commandments, learning magic requires talent Yes, only children who can feel the light power of the goddess can learn divine arts. Moreover, it is impossible for me to say such irresponsible words to anyone!"

Hearing what Anduya said, not only Annie was dumbfounded on the spot, but even I was completely dumbfounded standing in the crowd. Su suddenly disappeared from the air, she didn't leave any message, I don't I believe that Su will be such a girl, her heart is more meticulous than each of us, at least there will be some definite news.

At this time, the four priests had already caught Annie. After all, they were four powerful priests. Annie struggled vigorously to no avail. She was dragged out of the square by these four priests. The direction of the four priests was also not The main hall of the temple, but directly wanted to take Anne outside the square.

I faintly felt in my heart that things were not that simple, so I followed the four priests closely and followed them.

The five of them left the temple directly. Annie didn't seem to struggle at all along the way, and was dragged away by two priests from both sides.

Those believers were busy listening to the people below, no one cared that Anne was kidnapped by four priests, and everyone had already fallen into obsession.

I also hurriedly chased out of the temple...

...beautiful dividing line...

The dense black pine forest is located on the north slope of Mount Antiea, and the ice and snow here will slowly melt all year round. Even in the hottest summer, a section of the north slope here is cool and pleasant, but it seems very remote here. Hiding in a tree hole, which is full of oak seeds, it should probably be a squirrel's nest, and now I am lurking here, staring closely at the group of people not far away, the two priests will Anne All the way here, but this silent dense forest is obviously not their final location.

Three people passed under my oak tree, and I even wanted to rush down at this time to rescue Annie.

I don't understand what reason those two priests used to deceive the other two priests away. Now Anne's hands and feet are shackled, and the salamander leather armor on her body is also torn, and the neckline is still torn. There were no traces, and a large piece of white chest muscle was exposed at the neckline, and the messy long hair was loose, making him look very embarrassed.The only magic belt on her body has been confiscated, with a pale expression on her face.

I think she must be regretting her rashness again at this time.

The priest didn't care whether Annie was feeling well or not, he directly held the silver chain and dragged Annie staggering all the way. After working hard, it is said that there is still a long way to go. If Annie is dishonest, she doesn't mind teaching her the principles of life with a whip.

Even I, who was hiding in the tree hole, could hear the harsh words of the priests clearly.

The soil in the black pine forest is very fertile, and there are piled up pine needles everywhere, which have rotted in the woods for too long, and the whole shoe will sink deeply into the soil when you step on it.

The priest who followed Annie was even more obscene. Although he walked behind Annie without saying a word, at this moment he bowed his waist, put his head behind Annie, and kept using his nose repeatedly on her back. Sniffing Annie's body fragrance, she was as wretched and disgusting as a hyena.

"Gunther, don't get her attention!" The priest walking in front suddenly stopped cursing, but turned his head and stared at the face of the priest walking behind and said.

"No, I just want to smell her. It really is the Fire Rose of El City! It's so beautiful and messy, it's not in vain that the young master took such pains to get her. It seems that she is really valuable. It's worth it!" The priest walking behind laughed non-stop and said indifferently.

"Shut up, be careful not to be overheard, this is no joke." The priest in front looked around nervously, the pine forest seemed quiet.

The wretched priest named Gunther said indifferently: "It's okay, this is the private territory of the head of the council, no one has the guts to break in!"

The priest in front pulled the silver chain in his hand vigorously, causing Annie, who was about to struggle, to fall hard, and her fair face was covered with dead leaves.

The priest said fiercely: "Be honest! I've seen you like this a lot, don't imagine that I can take pity on you, don't let the last bit of my patience be wiped out."

"Where did you hide my sister?" Annie still couldn't help asking, it seems that Su's situation is not too good!
"Actually, you don't need me to tell you, you will know, because you will go back there soon, and the most professional people will teach you well, teach you to be humble and respectful when speaking to others, It will turn you into a beautiful slave like your sister." Gunther's laughing voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, which made people feel so uncomfortable.

The grumpy priest sitting in front continued: "Take a good look at the outside world, maybe you will never have the chance to see the outside scenery once you enter the manor, hum..."

The sound became smaller and smaller, and I came out of the tree hole like a squirrel, squatting on the branch of the oak tree, quietly watching the three people walking through the pine forest, with fists in their hands Clenched tightly, I didn't expect that someone would really catch the attention of the two younger sisters, Sister Guoguo, who seems to be the young master of the head of the El City Council, but no matter what, I must rescue them, maybe The days of security in El City are over...

I touched my bulging magic pocket, looked at the 'time and space breaker' stored in it, and felt a little more at ease. Even if I was in a desperate situation, I should still have the last way to escape. Thinking of this, I resolutely Decided to continue to follow, I not only want to save Annie, I also want to save Su...
