MTL - How To Wear a Goddess Statue-Chapter 11 assassinate

Eleuil walked alone on the way back to the room, her expression seemed to be the same as usual, but there was a haze in her eyes.

After discovering that Ruiya also had the experience of a **** falling into a dream, it became a matter of course to set out all the details quietly. Ruiya people are very simple, they are all finished, and they cover up nervously .

Even such a little priest who doesn't understand anything, can see Luodus deity in his dreams, be gently encouraged, comforted, and even say "I believe in you" himself, Although only once.

Something stuck in her chest, her heart was beating like a ball of cotton, and it was dull and breathless.

She thought she was special.

Eleuil suddenly stopped, holding the reed pen for answering the question in her hand, as if she was trying to grasp something, and the protruding nodule on the pen made the palm of her hand It was painful, but she squeezed it even tighter, trying to use the subtle pain to wake herself up.

It's time to wake up. What are you delusional about, Eleuil, is it that you want to monopolize the favor of the gods?

This is what Luodus saw when he floated back from the outside.

She did not hear the conversation between the two children.

Halfway through the test, Luodus had already left the temple, because the rumors she heard on the way back at noon made her a little concerned, and she must hear the specific version to be at ease.

As soon as she returned to the little princess, she found that the other party had stopped by the roadside for a long time without moving, not knowing what she was thinking.

It doesn't look like she's very happy...Is the exam question unexpected, or did she also hear news from Acht City?

Luodus floated around the little princess twice before Eleuil continued to move forward, and the gloomy feeling she had just exuded completely subsided.

Back to the room, Eleuil practiced with a reed pen for a long time. After the light in the room dimmed, it did not stop, but lit the oil lamp and continued to practice.

At this time, she doesn't want to face the pile of books in the dream, which will only make people more upset.

Before she fell asleep completely, she raised her hand to hold the amulet hanging on her chest, and touched the blue chalcedony beads that Luotas gave her with her fingertips.

———

In the middle of the night, the moon and stars are rare.

The bright moonlight fell on the open space in front of the house, like a pool of clear water, suddenly, a black shadow appeared under the moonlight, breaking the harmony of the night scene.

The shadow silently opened the window, lifted the curtain and turned over without making a sound. Following his movements, the moonlight briefly shone into the room, illuminating the peaceful sleeping face of the little princess .

The person approached slowly, stopped by the bed for a few seconds, he raised a dagger high, the blade flashed a bright light in the darkness, and then stabbed heavily—

Did not hit the target.

In the moment before the dagger fell, the little princess rolled to the side, and the dagger pierced deeply into the bed board.

Taking advantage of the momentary shock of the person who came, she swung it backhand with the dagger she took out from under the pillow at some point, cutting her throat with a knife, as if she had practiced it thousands of times.

The confrontation only happened in just two seconds. The person who came in made a hoarse sound from his throat, raised his hand instinctively, covered the wound in vain, struggled twice and fell back.

Eleuil lit the oil lamp, waited for the opponent to be exhausted, and slowly picked up the assassin's own short sword to make up a few swords for him, before going forward to examine the body.

Tear off the cloth towel covering the assassin's face. Under the light is an ordinary face with a pale complexion. He is not wearing anything that can represent his identity, but Eleuil knows what the forces behind him are.

"The ghost is still alive, what are you doing now."

Eleuil lowered her eyes and muttered a little irritably.

Lotus was thinking the same thing.

The little princess has been in the temple for three years. She was not assassinated when she first came. Why did the other party suddenly attack today?

Could it be because of the big event that happened in Wangcheng... But there is nothing to do with it. After that event happened, the other party should be more at ease, why did the trouble come.

The first one who discovered the assassin was of course Luodus. When she saw the abnormality outside the door, she immediately broke Eleuil's dream and woke her up, and she was smart enough to even breathe There was no mess, and patiently waited for the assassin to approach before striking back.

The process was neat and tidy, but it was the first time the little princess had committed murder.

Of course, this was the first time Luotas saw someone die in front of her, and her mood did not fluctuate.

Compared to this, she is more worried about the little princess' psychological condition.

Therefore, Luo Das watched Eleuil snort softly, and wiped the blood splattered on her face calmly, she dragged the assassin's body to the wall, and nodded her chin , It looks like he is obviously thinking about how to solve it.

Lotus: "…"

On the other side, the little princess also came up with a countermeasure.

Saw something.

"The voice is from Her Royal Highness."

"Hi, it seems like it is!"

"Come and see..."

These people gathered outside the small courtyard and looked inside, but no one dared to enter first, until the priestess in pajamas arrived in a hurry, and they swarmed after the priestess into the yard behind.

She quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, why did Her Royal Highness suddenly—"

The voice of the priestess stopped abruptly, and the corpse of the assassin leaning against the wall came into view, causing her pupils to shrink suddenly, she turned around without hesitation and shouted: "Everyone go out! Without me The permission is not allowed to come in!"

The priestess has absolute prestige in the Katiera Temple, and the people who were about to follow looked at each other, but followed her order to leave the courtyard.

The priestess closed the door, ran to Eleuil, held her shoulders and looked up and down, the large bloodstains on the little princess' clothes were shocking, but fortunately no wounds were found .

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

"I'm fine." No one else was present, Eleuil put down her hand covering her eyes, and there was not a single tear in the corner of her eyes, obviously she was fake crying just now.

Her tone was calm and calm: "This is an assassin. I was too frightened and out of control. Please take me away and call someone to pick up his body."

The priestess immediately understood the situation and said without hesitation, "Okay, where are you going, I will arrange a new room for you."

The little princess paused: "No...take me to the shrine room."

The priestess complied.

In the sacrificial room, Eleuil looked up at the statue, as if she noticed the blood stains on her body at this moment, she pursed her lips, and said to the priestess: "Please help me Bring some clean clothes."

"Okay." The priestess nodded and left quickly. After a while, she brought back the little princess' clothes and a thick fleece cushion. Before leaving, she asked worriedly: "Do you need anything else?"

Eleuil shook his head slightly: "Lock the door, don't come in until I come out, okay?"

"But tomorrow's morning..."

"This is the will of the great Goddess Rhodes."

The priestess immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence and bowed: "I will follow the will of the goddess."

The doors and windows are locked, the curtains are down, and the candles engraved with gold patterns on the altar emit soft light. The sacred worship room has become a safe and independent space at this moment.

Eleuil held the clothes, with a tangled look on his face, ran behind the statue and changed his clothes, then turned out as if nothing had happened, and put the blood-stained old clothes on the statue farthest corner.

She took off the amulet, held it in her palm, and whispered in a complaining tone: "Someone is going to assassinate your most loyal believer, so even if it's not Water Day, please be with me. See."

After finishing speaking, the little princess spread the fluffy cushion at the feet of the **** statue, curled up on it, closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. For the first time, she took the initiative to invite the gods into a dream, and her heart beat a little faster in her chest.

However—

Five minutes passed.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Half an hour passed.

Eleuil opened her eyes suddenly: "…"

Usually she fell asleep quickly, but today is when she needs to fall asleep quickly, but she can't fall asleep.

No, I have to go to sleep quickly, and I can't make Goddess Luodus wait too long.

Luodus didn't wait much, watching the little princess toss and turn was not boring at all, but when she thought about what this child went through tonight, she couldn't help sighing.

…Murder by yourself, even if you act calm at the time, your heart will still be touched to some extent, and insomnia is inevitable.

What's more, this is the first time the little princess has made a request outside of the water day in three years.

Luodus raised his hand, and the semi-transparent palm patted the little princess's head lightly.

The ancient Solan believed that water had the power to soothe the heart, and this also became her "ability". Therefore, Eleuil's expression quickly calmed down and her breathing became long.

Unless she deliberately acted inexperienced in front of others, the little princess always seemed more mature and stable than other children, and only when she fell asleep would she unconsciously reveal her age-appropriate appearance Naive look.

Luodus smiled, tapped the tip of the little princess' nose, and smoothly sank into the dreamland that she was already familiar with, like her own back garden.

The author has something to say:

Lotus: Ah, I won't be able to sleep after seeing the blood, poor child.

2612: The first time I took the initiative to see the goddess, I was a little nervous, I couldn’t sleep, the goddess wouldn’t think I was late, right?
