Silver Bell Festival has come to an end, and Sylutia's short rest day has ended, and then we have to face busy work and affairs again.
But unlike before, this time Silver Radiance Church has a new volunteer, named Lovier and Golden Songstress. This blond lady can sing nice songs, and like a moving bird, shuttles around the church, bringing some relief to the tired workers.
Another afternoon, in the small Hall specially reserved for Lovier, the girl held the golden harp in her hands and sang gracefully. The faint golden halo plucked the strings and gently lingered and spread. The staff and patients sitting below felt a gentle force caressing them, and their tired bodies slowly regained some vitality.
The power of "Blazing Sun" is tempered by this blonde singer and becomes quite soft and reassuring.
After the performance, Lovier stood up, bowed briefly to say thank you, then trotted outside the Laurel Hall with the complicated light pink luxurious dress, and then sat on a bench to wait for the ceremony inside to end.
In addition to several high-level Knight guarding Hall, there were also some nervous family members of patients. Everyone was quite curious when they saw this young lady who was obviously not a member of Silver Radiance Church.
Her golden hair was tied up with a pink and black patterned headband, and her long skirt was embellished with layers of translucent lace gauze skirts, revealing only the singer's exquisite dance shoes.
Although he was looked at by many people, Lovier was not shy. He just nodded slightly to those who showed kindness, then folded his hands lightly on his knees, put his legs together and put them on his side, slowly closed his eyes, and waited quietly.
Quiet, elegant, decent, noble, lady, such words are perfect for her, as if she was born like this
There is no haze here.
When the Hall door opened, Lovier also opened her eyes, lifted up her skirts on both sides, and came to wait in front of the door again. When the patients and Si Cai inside came out, she politely greeted Knight who was guarding the door, then ran in, walked through the long hall in the Hall, and came to the first row of seats under the high platform, where she saw the silver-haired figure sitting there resting.
"Tia~" Lovier came to her, put down the hem of her skirt, then leaned down and put his arms around the shoulders of the girl in front of her.
"What's wrong?" The girl opened her eyes, hugged Lovier in front of her, and then Lovier took advantage of the situation and sat down side by side against Sylutia.
"I like you~"
"Uh, this----" Sylutia's eyes widened slightly, feeling a little at a loss.
Then Lovier let go of his hand and looked at the girl who was close at hand with his light pink eyes like flawless gems.
"Tia is so amazing. It can help so many people. It can cure such terrible Plague and infections."
"Tia is very kind. Even if there is no reward for helping many people, you will still do it."
"Tia is still very gentle. He is obviously very tired and wants to sleep and rest, but he still insists on standing up every time he encounters a necessary situation."
It turned out to be this kind of love. Sylutia understood the meaning of Lovier's voice.
"Actually, I'm just trying my best. I can't say it's that great." The girl shook her head.
"No, no, Tia can't say that." Lovier stood up.
"Tia can't deny his own merits and efforts by saying "I did my best". If you deny it, then how do everyone at Silver Radiance Church view your hard work these days? Is it just because of the salary and income?"
"Tia has the right to be proud. Tia deserves everyone's love and respect." Her loud voice echoed in the empty Hall like she was performing an opera.
"I like the sparkling Tia, and I hope that this kind of Tia can be liked by more people. Precious and beautiful things should be well protected." When Lovier said this, he was like a sparkling little Angel.
In her heart, Tia, which has paid so much for everyone, should not be abused, but should be cherished. However, even if someone in Silver Radiance Church realizes it, no one can reverse this girl's plan.
If it hadn't been for the arrival of Lovier, I'm afraid this busy state would have continued forever.
In the past, everyone had a vague feeling that it was not good to continue like this, but they never knew how to explain it. They could only occasionally advise Sylutia to take a good rest. This time, after the arrival of Lovier, the silence was finally broken. Under the strong push of the blond lady, Silver Radiance Church made some changes internally, that is, even if the work is busy, members of each position must be given the necessary rest and breathing time.
This time can be used to sleep in the room all day and all night, listen to music in the small Hall prepared by Lovier, or take a walk in the natural scenery.
"If this continues, everyone will get tired sooner or later, but if Tia, who is Saintess, doesn't take a break, others will face moral pressure even if they want to take a break." In a recent internal meeting, Hettina also advised Sylutia.
Therefore, new regulations were issued. The patients sent to the church were first prioritized and then arranged according to the situation to avoid wasting a large amount of medical resources.
Secondly, according to the workload and content of the personnel, arrange necessary shift rest time, and try to allow each member to have one day a week to completely relax and rest. If it is an area without an epidemic outbreak, it will be two days a week.
After the new regulations came into effect, Sylutia also got a rare break. On this day, she and Lovier went for a walk by the river outside the city. The two walked under the shades of green and yellow trees.
From here, you can see the outline of the city hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance, followed by the wheat fields outside the city, and then the nearby forest river, with the sound of gurgling water, and tiny waves can be seen among the pebbles on the shore.
"Tia~" Lovier waved to Sylutia from the front. She was standing next to a reed bush with a plucked reed strip in her hand.
Today, Lovier is wearing a relatively simple dress, a cotton-white dress with no extra flowers. The only eye-catching thing is the complicated pink and black lace headband on the back of her head.
When Sylutia approached, Lovier held the plucked reed strip in one hand, then looked at the pebbles below, and carefully jumped up to Sylutia.
"Tia, do you still remember the scene when we went on a spring outing for the first time?"
"I still remember."
Sylutia recalls that it was the first spring after coming to the Mage Alliance. At that time, school had just started. We all went to Senis District to play together. There were many lakes there and we could see swans.
"Tia taught me how to knit bracelets. I was so touched that time." Lovier pulled Sylutia to the relatively clean grass nearby, then spread her skirt and sat down.
"Now, let me try again." After saying that, Lovier carefully picked up the reed strip, bent it Weaving little by little, and then interlaced it, until the last delicate and beautiful bracelet slowly Weaving took shape.
During the process, Sylutia stood by and watched, watching the blonde lady being a little clumsy but trying to correct it again and again, and finally took out the bracelet Weaving.
"Successful~" Lovier held up the small and beautiful reed bracelet, as happy as if it was a big event.
Then she carefully held the bracelet on her chest, closed her eyes and concentrated, waves of soft golden light twined around her, fading away the cyan on the reeds, and the entire bracelet slowly revealed a pure golden color.
After completion, this bracelet has been transformed into a second-level item of "Blazing Sun" nature due to the prayer blessing of Lovier.
"Tia." She held the bracelet and looked at Sylutia.
The girl understood what she wanted to do, stretched out her wrist, and then Lovier put it on carefully. Waves of golden ripples spread from the bracelet to her whole body, and Sylutia felt a warm vitality for the first time in a long time.
Such scenes and feelings reminded her of the first time she met Lady Falan. Unfortunately, after so many years, the bracelet given by Lady Falan had gradually lost its power.
Although she can now cultivate second-order Blazing Sun plants herself to make such props, she has been very busy and has no time to think about it.
Take a look at the golden Weaving bracelet on Haobai's wrist, Sylutia to express gratitude.
"Thank you."
Lovier showed a happy smile, and then continued to hold Sylutia's hand for a walk. She still had many happy things to share with Sylutia.
This is the only time in your life that you should share happiness and happy things with the friends you like. If you only tell them when you are troubled and sad, that is definitely not right.
It would be too sad to compare with others to be more sad and miserable in order to seek mercy and benefits.
Western Mountains, Giant Stone Fortress.
This was once a place ruled by the Orc warlords, but now it is an important stronghold of the "Western City Alliance". Now Plague is also spreading in the mountains, and many nearby tribes will send patients here for treatment.
Although local medical personnel have been organized to provide rescue, not every infected person can survive the most dangerous stage. Some of them died halfway before being sent to the hospital.
Scenes like this always happen everywhere.
"Sir Anali, Elder Grayfang wants to see you." In the large temporary tent, Anali was sorting out the report and looked up after hearing the voice.
"I understand." She put down the note in her hand, then picked up the Magic Staff beside her and walked out.
Following Oren and Luke on their adventures all year round, Anali has also gained a lot. Even though her talent is not outstanding among her classmates, she is still the best at the moment. To step into the Fifth Order threshold and become a Dead Ember·Winter Slumber" double Aspect Power Transcendent.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the city not far away, Anali saw the elder Grayfang who was wearing a cane. This elder was now 102 years old and a member of the local Orc tribe Highly Respected.
After seeing Anali, he did not put on airs, but bowed his head humbly and saluted, and the same was true for all the tribe members following him.
"You don't have to be so polite." Anali shook his head slightly, and then looked at the stretchers placed behind them. They were covered with linen, and there should be dead tribe members underneath.
"I invite Master Anali here this time to ask you to give these poor children peace of mind." Elder Grayfang led Anali to the stretchers and spoke in a low voice.
The tribe members beside the elder were also quite sad and silent.
"This - how can I give them rest?" Anali knows many spells to summon Ghost, but when it comes to giving them rest, he doesn't quite understand.
"Please also call back their souls and relieve their pain."
"Is that so? Let me give it a try." Anali thought for a while and raised Magic Staff.
Dead Ember's power gathered under her call, and the souls of the dead tribe members also slowly gathered together.
Because most of them were mortals when they were alive, and their soul consciousness was fragile, most of the Ghost that have been reunited now are also incomplete, with only their outlines slowly showing, some with blank expressions, and some still immersed in the struggle before death.
Seeing these figures, some tribe members shouted excitedly and wanted to rush forward and hug them, but unfortunately their arms could only pass through these Ghost.
Seeing this, Elder Grayfang sighed and turned around to thank Anali for his help.
"Thank you for your help. There are very few Shamans in the tribe who can do such a thing."
In the ancient times, after Orc died, the Shaman of the tribe would call and appease their souls, allowing their souls to return to heaven and stay away from the Twilight Sea's Distortion torture.
Although the final result is still that the fragments of the soul's consciousness dissipate, at least in the eyes of the living it will be much better and more at ease.
Facing the dead who have been eroded by Distortion"Plague", it is difficult for ordinary Shaman to condense the scattered souls. Most of their strength does not exceed the fourth level, and they are not Transcendent of the "Dead Ember" path. It is difficult for Anali to do it as easily as Anali.
Seeing these family members holding their heads and crying, Anali felt a little sad, but the elder Grayfang on the side actually enlightened her a lot.
"Death is the inevitable ending for every living being. Although parting will bring sadness, this is the normal state of the world." As he spoke, he looked quietly at the family members who were bidding farewell to their souls.
"In a few years, I will rest in peace and be buried in the ground. In fact, I have already prepared my own tombstone. It is a small stone with my favorite pattern engraved on it."
"You may wonder why I am so ordinary. In fact, decades ago, I was also very afraid of the coming of death. Like these relatives, I cried incessantly."
"At that time, I not only saw the sadness of the death of my family members, but also saw my own ending from their deaths."
"In the years that followed, I kept replaying that scene in my mind. I often got distracted during the battle and was worried and afraid of death."
"Maybe people have to accept reality after all. Slowly, I no longer think about the problems that I can't solve, but I want to do something as much as possible, whether it is what I want, what I have not realized, or what I am interested in."
"Then time flew by so fast that by the time I realized I couldn't run anymore, I was already too old."
"It's strange, but now I feel calmer, as if my impending death is as ordinary as going to bask in the sun in the afternoon."
"There may be a profound truth in it, but I can only convey part of it to young people."
Anali Although I can't completely empathize with him, I can probably understand the old man's mood and insights.
"So, are these feelings and thoughts like this?" She looked at the parting scene quietly.
After all the family members cried dry tears, these condensed souls, under the control of Anali, slowly faded away from the "Distortion" corrosion that had been infected by Plague, and then gradually fragmented and turned into tiny light particles, slowly flying towards the sky.
As if witnessing some kind of ceremony, everyone present finally mentally bid farewell to those familiar relatives and slowly accepted this reality.
After digging the soil, burying him, and placing a bouquet of wild flowers, the group said goodbye to Anali, slowly walked towards the mountain road outside the city, and disappeared under the gray sky.
