Lord Highlander

   Chapter 916 902. Light and Darkness

  The town of Dodan rarely holds celebrations.

   It's not as historic as Bena City, nor as populous as Wilkes City.

  In fact, it is just a little-known frontier town in the northern occupied area of ​​Bailin Plane. The people here are imperial immigrants forced by life, and some local aborigines who have been assimilated.

  These two groups of people are in two different life circles, and they don't like each other.

   For a long time, the aborigines in the small town belonged to the bottom people who were infinitely squeezed.

Today, Dodan Town has become a gathering place for adventure groups and merchants in this beast tide. At the same time, they have also brought prosperity to Dodan Town. There are many residents of Dodan Town.

  A temple of the Twin Goddess was built in the town, and the celebration ceremony was held on the first day after winter.

   This celebration was even more lively than the Harvest Festival in the town. The residents of the town, whether they were imperial immigrants or local aborigines, all put on the most decent clothes and walked to the street.

  Everyone happily talked about their yearning for the Temple of the Twin Goddesses.

   At this time, you will find that the imperial immigrants and the local aborigines are waiting outside the two gates.

  …

A large group of imperial immigrants gathered at the gate of the Shrine of Dawn. This street was full of gorgeous magic caravans. Many nobles who were rarely seen in the town came out of the manor to participate in this celebration ceremony. A team of In the early winter season, the sheriff actually sweated profusely to direct the traffic so that these magic caravans could be lined up on the side of the road.

  The aborigines in the town gathered on the side of the Temple of the Night. There are a lot of them, but there are no magic caravans on the street, so this side is not so crowded.

  Everyone stood at the door, while marveling at the exquisiteness of the temple, they were also waiting for the door to open.

   These two gods are unfamiliar to the residents of the small town.

In fact, the Grimm Empire has believers of the Statue of Liberty all over the country. These believers have been suppressing the believers of other gods. In the Grimm Empire, it is rare to see other types of temples. Later, the priests and priests of the Statue of Liberty all left, but the residents of the empire are still Believers of the Statue of Liberty, everyone doesn't know the other gods in the Kingdom of God.

  So the imperial immigrants came to the Shrine of Dawn more to wander around and visit this magnificent temple.

As the crowd walked into the temple, Nika stood on the steps of the temple wearing a pure white linen dress. Her skin color and face were characteristic of the aborigines. Even though she was a bit more delicate, she was not stunning. the point.

  So the imperial people who came to visit the Temple of Dawn stared at Nika in astonishment, and some even said bluntly:

   "Why is the saint in the temple an aborigine?"

   There are also people who don’t recognize her as a saint at all, and discuss with their friends:

   "Who is she and why is she standing here?"

  Some imperial people who have been to the southern region of the Bailin Plane can tell at a glance that the other girls are also indigenous girls from the southern region, so they asked the people next to them:

   "These priests seem to be aboriginals in the southern region, what's going on?"

   Just when everyone felt a little unbelievable, Nika, who was standing on the steps, took a step forward.

   "Welcome to the Dawn Temple!"

   Nika stood on the high steps and said to the imperial immigrants who walked into the Temple of Dawn.

  When everyone heard the voice, they immediately stopped discussing and looked at Nika.

   Nika is just a twelve-year-old girl after all.

  She was still a little flustered standing in front of the stage...but when she whispered a series of prayers, the imperial immigrants under the steps in front of the temple suddenly fell silent.

  Holding a ball of light in her hands, the beam of light shoots out from between her fingers.

  She looked up, and a crack appeared in the overcast sky.

  A ray of light enveloped Nika's whole body, and behind her appeared the phantom of a statue of a goddess.

  The phantom of the goddess came out of the light. It looked down at the people in the temple with a solemn face, and the temple was full of light.

  Nika stood under the phantom of the goddess statue, closed her eyes, put her hands together, her body overlapped with the phantom of the goddess, and whispered:

   "God said at the time of the last kalpa:"

   "At the end of the world, wisdom will disappear."

   "Justice will also come to the world."

   "Courage will turn into anger"

   "All hope will be swallowed up by despair"

  "Death will spread its wings and cover the sky and the sun..."

   "The destiny is shattered, and there is no redemption!"

   "All beings will wait for the light in the dawn..."

  Although her voice is not loud, it allows every corner of the temple to clearly hear what she is doing.

   After saying these words, a group of small town residents stared at Nika dumbfounded...

  At a time like this, no one will talk about her identity anymore.

Everyone followed Nika into the hall of the temple. Nika's body was constantly emitting light. She stood on the altar of the hall and pulled away the curtain covering the statue on the altar of the temple. Go straight up and overlap with the statue, and it suddenly looks radiant.

  Nika and the indigenous maids in the south of Bailin stood on the altar of the temple, and behind them a group of imperial immigrants began to walk up impatiently.

   At this time, Nika was no longer needed to maintain order. The first immigrant from the empire went to Ni, who was standing under the statue, to accept Nika's blessing.

   Immediately afterwards, the next townsman came up, and Nika shone a light into his body...

   People kept coming up, and Nika held a beam of light in his hand. Although this pure light has no healing power, it has the power to dispel some negative effects

  The imperial immigrants in front of Nika suddenly felt relaxed. Bathing in the sun, it seemed that their breathing became much smoother.

  …

  Before Selena came to Dodan Town, the local aborigines in the Bailin plane only worshiped their ancestors.

  Usually they have never been in contact with any gods.

  This time, the aborigines in the town came into contact with the dark goddess Celine, and many people changed their lives because of believing in the goddess Celine.

First, wheat cakes are suddenly cheaper than multigrain cakes. Second, every aborigine who is willing to work can find a job with a decent income. Finally, the town decided to transform the shacks in the slums into brand new buildings. Townhouses.

  The aborigines believe that all of this is bestowed by the dark goddess Shilin.

  Before the construction of the Temple of the Twin Goddesses, these aboriginal believers had regular gatherings, but now there are even more gorgeous temples.

  These aborigines didn't even have much communication, they lined up outside the big iron gate of the Twin Goddess Temple.

  Some aborigines wear very thin clothes, so everyone huddles together so that they can keep each other warm.

  Selena and Signa carried out a barrel of hot lemon black tea from the temple and distributed it to the aborigines waiting at the door.

  Signa and Selena were wearing black robes, standing at the door of the Dark Temple,

The difference between this place and the Shrine of Dawn is that there are only Signa and Selena here, and a group of aboriginal believers lined up at the door, walking inside one by one. Whenever, they will salute.

   This kind of worship has been performed many times, but this time it is changed to a new place.

  All the aborigines are very convinced of Selena.

  While everyone was looking at the temple, Signa, who was standing at the foot of the statue, opened the curtain covering it with the help of Selina, and the statue of the dark goddess appeared in front of everyone.

  The Goddess of Darkness seemed to be locked in a well. She stood barefoot in the muddy water, and countless hands protruded from the muddy water below, trying to pull the Goddess of Darkness who was struggling upwards to the bottom.

  The Goddess of Darkness was only surrounded by a few pieces of cloth, and a thick chain was tied to her body. She raised her head and stretched out one hand to the patio above with all her strength, but her eyes were closed.

   At this time, all the aborigines sat on the bench and prayed...

   There are no windows in the hall, and there is silence in the darkness, and everyone seems to be in a dream.

  In just a few minutes, it seemed like a dream, and the body was getting rid of all fatigue.
