Chapter 258 Rescue (Part 2)
Temple of the Goddess of the Earth. Prayer Room
Same as most temple buildings. The prayer room is a two-story altar with a lot of space.
In fact, the upper and lower floors are not much different. The lower part is used for prayer and worship for ordinary people, and the upper part is the place where the priests rest and pray.
It has to be admitted that in the Kingdom of Faith, the dedication and skill in the construction of the temple is by no means comparable to that of the craftsmen on earth.
There are two upper and lower floors, the darkness of the lower floor and the brilliance of the upper floor form a sharp contrast. The spiral staircase connects the upper and lower floors, showing a sacred and elegant atmosphere.
On the altar, there is still a sacred light.
"How long can I last?" A young girl just finished a prayer, stood up from the cushion, walked to the upper fence, and looked down. There were townspeople below, all praying.
She was wearing a white priest's robe, the opening of the robe was very high, and two white breasts were looming, which set off the white priest's robe, making her skin white and tender.
White skin. The beautiful appearance, as well as the aura exuding from her body, all showed the identity of this person. She is the saintess recognized by Rika Town, Miss Alini, the second daughter of Baron Rocas.
A gust of wind blew by, causing her robe to flutter backwards, and the four stripe marks on the corners of the robe were immediately revealed, which was the mark of a fourth-level priest.
"However, even for these townspeople and these lambs of God, I can't give up." Miss Alini shook hands, calming down her confusion and wavering again.
After the outbreak of the evil disaster, out of love for this town and its people, Miss Alini did not leave at this critical moment, especially after the demon army broke through the defense line of Rika Town, at the most critical moment At the critical moment, she stepped forward, gathered all the townspeople to take refuge in the temple of God, and organized resistance.
Almost all the people in the town are believers of the Goddess of the Earth. After arriving here, together with the priest, these believers prayed continuously, which brought great power to the temple, which enabled the temple to resist until now.
However, it has persisted for a week. If this continues, one day, the power of this belief will slowly lose its effectiveness. At that time, it will be the time when the demon army attacks.
Thinking of this, as the head priest of the temple, Eleni will feel heavy pressure, even fear, after all, she is still human, and there are hundreds of people in her temple, except for priests and soldiers Besides, the rest are the town's believers,
If you can't protect these people well, you will be ashamed of the goddess.
"But, if we continue like this, how can we persevere?" After a week, hundreds of people ate, and the food left in the temple was not even enough to guarantee tomorrow's dinner.
Today, except for soldiers. Ordinary believers eat a small piece of bread and water in the morning and at noon. Fortunately, they just pray to gain strength, and they don't have to go out to fight, otherwise, such a small amount of food will be consumed faster.
Even so, tomorrow night, they will run out of food. Without food, even if the devil doesn't attack, how can they persist?
what can we do about it?
At this time, Alini remembered the message her father sent to her before the disaster broke out. In that letter, the baron ordered her to rush back to the castle in an extremely stern tone, but she still refused.
"Leave the temple?" She thought to herself, while looking out the window.
The sky is blue and clear, the sun is shining brightly, everything looks so beautiful, but just outside the temple, there are hundreds of thousands of demon troops surrounding here, once they attack, everyone here will end up Life is better than death.
Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Alini's eyes, she was already prepared, if the demon army really came in. With her spells, at least a few demons can be killed, and the only way to die is to die.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed in the sky, and then fell straight down from the sky, and Alini was startled.
According to the progress of the war, everyone already knows something about the demon army.
Only the big devil can fly freely, while the little devil can only run with flapping wings like the birds on the ground. Now there are thousands of demon troops stationed outside. She doesn't think anyone can fly in. This black shadow is most likely big devil!
The power of faith has not disappeared yet, has a big demon flew in?
Although she had awakened a long time ago, she was still cold, and before she could think, Miss Alini rushed out.
She has already realized in her heart that in this temple, she has the highest professional level and is the leader. In this case, this is the only choice.
At the same time, other priests and believers were alarmed. They all held their weapons in a panic and ran in that direction. Of course, there were also many timid people who hid in the room and dared not come out.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's me, Lord Romon of Tertashaw." In an open space, a big eagle landed there. Above the eagle, a young man raised his hand and said, comforting everyone.
There are people who know him. Immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God! It's Lord Romon!"
"Master Romon is here!"
"Thank God! Lord Romon is here! We are saved!"
Romon's arrival miraculously soothed the hearts of the people and greatly encouraged the people here.
Originally, these resisters were pale and worried.
But when they saw Romon come in on a great eagle, it was like grasping at a straw.
Romon was obviously a little surprised that he had such a big influence, but soon, he saw the beautiful figure who arrived in the next step.
"Romon, is that you?" Alini happened to see this scene when she arrived. She looked at the smiling Romon and the big eagle beside Romon, a little surprised.
"Well, it's me." Romon smiled at her.
Looking at the people around, Alini also felt the change in everyone's mentality. She smiled, and before she had time to say hello to Romon, she seized the opportunity and said to everyone: "Everyone, you have also seen that we are not here. Not forgotten, just hold on for a day or two and we'll be saved."
Because of Romon's unexpected appearance, everyone's confidence has been greatly increased. Hearing what Alini said, everyone cheered. This sermon brought hope.
"The light outside the temple is the light of prayer?" Romon asked after Miss Alini finished her sermon and entered the inner room.
"It's the magic circles for defending against evil and expulsion. They have all been opened, and what is being consumed is the power accumulated in our temple. Although there are believers who keep praying, this cannot last." At this time, there are only the two of them left here, Ai Lini nodded and said. I couldn't help showing a look of sadness: "By the way, how did you get in? How is the situation outside?"
Luo Meng listened, smiled, and briefly introduced the purpose of his coming in. By the way, he mentioned the role of lightning, which was the only way to get in. Of course, he couldn't explain everything, but this simple statement is enough to The matter is clear.
"It's great to have wiped out the demon army in Suda Village." Alini didn't expect that Romon would make so many achievements after not seeing him for a while.
"I came in this time, first of all, I wanted to see the situation here, and only after confirming the situation can I determine the tactics to attack the demon army." Romon looked at Alini: "Secondly, I wanted to see you, Ellie Ni, you are much thinner."
Alini blushed a little, but then, thinking that this was not the time to make fun of her, she dimmed again: "When are you going to attack? The temple's food is running out, I'm worried, Romon, we will run out of food tomorrow. "
Running out of food? Luo Meng's heart moved, he really wanted to tell the other party that he had food, but when he thought about it, he could only sigh secretly.
I have food, and I still carry it with me, in the Shennongjiao space, but I can't take it out casually.
"For the problem of food, let me figure out a solution." Romon said suddenly.
Alini looked at Romon in surprise: "Do you have a solution?"
"Alini, have you forgotten how I got in?" Romon smiled: "Lightning can carry a load, so I'll tell it to go out and carry some food."
After hearing this, Alini looked directly at Romon this time and said, "Thank you, Romon."
Luo Meng smiled again and waved his hand: "You're welcome, actually, I originally meant to take you away alone, but I know you won't go with me, so I can only use lightning to transport food .”
Alini heard this, her heart moved, and she suddenly felt like she was about to cry. She was here to resist the devil independently. Although outsiders seemed strong, in fact, who knew what was going on in her heart. Unexpectedly, only Romon Rush in to help her.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she could only say: "Thank you."
"Okay, I won't say much more, I'll go to transport food for you. If you have food, how long can you last? Can you last two days?"
"As long as there is food, it can last for at least two days." Alini replied affirmatively.
"That's it, I'll go back to transport food!" Romon didn't say much nonsense, turned over and caught lightning, and when the lightning struck, the big eagle rose leisurely and flew upwards. Romon also said: "Wait I come back!"
Before the words fell, the big eagle had already carried him into the air.
Looking at Romon's leaving figure, Alini was in a daze for a moment, and after a long time, she smiled at herself, turned around and wanted to leave, walked a few steps, remembered Romon's words just now, and simply stood still in this open space , waiting for Romon to come back.
In fact, when Romon needed to go back to transport food, he left the range of Rika Town, so he took out a bag of food from the space, circled around a few times, and rushed back.
A bag of flour weighed a hundred catties, and the lightning that pressed it was a bit of a toss, but five or six times back and forth was enough. Although five or six bags of flour were not much, it was enough to maintain these hundreds of people for two days.
