That night, Emma stayed at Belin's house. Although Kail's house was bigger and better, Emma still stayed at a woman's house due to the fact that men and women should be wary of each other.
There was a custom in Hollevin to bathe with friends. Because Belin was now a priest of the temple, she received a monthly salary from Liang Lidong, so her family was now well-off, and their standard of living in the village was only slightly lower than Kail's.
Therefore, her family built a rather large bath that could accommodate four people at the same time without being crowded.
Two girls soaked in the hot water naked. One was a Holy Maiden candidate, and the other was a Holy Maiden in office.
The Holy Maiden candidate was older. Although she wasn't very beautiful, she had a well-developed and curvaceous body. The Holy Maiden was only fourteen years old and hadn't really developed yet. Her body was like a long, flat stick that was straight up and down.
Although it was a long rod, it couldn't hold back the Saintess' beautiful face. The Saintess in Training was quite envious. She could imagine how beautiful the girl in front of her would be when she grew up by two or three years and fully developed her body.
The more beautiful a woman was, the more miserable her fate was, but as the Holy Maiden of the Storm Goddess Temple, Emma had the right to refuse all lascivious men.
Men could pursue the Holy Maiden, but they couldn't force her or use any despicable means, or the temple wouldn't be too kind.
Of course, if it was an enemy religion, it was normal to find ways to smear or play with the Holy Maiden of the enemy religion.
Emma didn't care about the other party's look, because she had been suffering from such looks since she was a child, and over time, she got used to it. Now she was looking down at the slightly shaking water, looking at her face reflected in the water with bitterness and anger, and the gap between her lips where two beautiful front teeth were missing. As a result, she didn't dare to speak now, lest her face be ruined.
Women loved beauty, girls loved beauty, and so did the Holy Maidens.
Looking at her, Belin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Faced with a beautiful girl like you, the teacher is actually so ruthless … But what exactly did you do? To think that his teacher would actually beat him up. Teacher has been here for almost a year. I heard that he has killed many bad people, but I have never seen him lose his temper. You have saved our Reed Village, so why does Teacher still treat you like this? I am a little curious. "
Emma looked up and asked in confusion, "From your tone, you don't seem to think that His Excellency Beta is wrong?"
"Teacher is such a kind person, how could he make a mistake? The people he killed. They must be bad. And the person he hits must have done something wrong. " Belin said matter-of-factly, "Although you've helped our Reed Village, I believe that you must have done something wrong and made Teacher very, very angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hit you. Usually, when we make a mistake, he doesn't even scold us. At most, he will reason with us. Now, he actually hit a girl, and he hit her quite heavily. You can imagine how angry teacher was at that time. "
Emma's beautiful eyebrows twitched. At first, she thought that the person who changed fate must be a respectable and powerful old sage, but she didn't expect it to be a young man. He was a very domineering, almost unreasonable young man. He actually hit a woman's face, not at all gentlemanly.
But now, it seemed that this young man was not very respectable. But he was definitely respectable.
In fact, until now, Emma still felt like she was in a dream. She couldn't change a person's fate even if she wanted to, but now, the fate of the entire Reed Village, and even the fate of some related people, had been changed.
This kind of power didn't seem to be of a normal level anymore, as if it was a higher level, similar to the power of rules.
Steam rose, and Emma's face turned red. Although she felt that she hated the priest named Beta, she had to admit that a person who had the power to change fate was indeed admirable.
"Hey, you haven't answered my question!"
Belin splashed some water in front of the girl, waking Emma up from her thoughts.
"I did do something to make him angry." Emma thought for a moment, and changed to a more suitable way of saying, "Actually, I only did half of it, but he didn't really like my ideas at the time, so he hit me to vent his anger. This is indeed … Sigh, let's not talk about this. Do you know the origin of Priest Beta? Beta should be his name, right? He should be a noble, and should have a surname. "
Belin thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "I'm not sure. We only know that teacher is called Beta, but we don't know his hometown or surname. Kail once asked, but teacher just smiled and didn't want to answer, so we let it go."
Emma immersed half her face in the water, blowing bubbles. She was different from Belin. She was very knowledgeable, and she knew that a noble who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, had great power, and was willing to stay in a small place was definitely a very strange thing.
Liang Lidong didn't know that the two girls were talking about him at the moment. He was looking at the back of his right hand.
There were two spots of golden blood that were slowly seeping into his skin. It felt a little hot, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
Generally speaking, the blood of most creatures was red, but there were some special creatures that didn't have red blood. For example, the blood of dragons was mainly dark gold, but depending on their bloodline, the color would be lighter and lighter. For example, the golden blood of red dragons was slightly brighter.
At first, Liang Lidong thought it was just some stains and didn't care, but now it seemed that the situation was a little strange.
He tried to use magic scrolls to get rid of these two strange things, but it was useless. He could only watch as the two spots of golden blood seeped into his skin and gradually disappeared.
He waved his hand, and nothing happened. It didn't hurt or itch! Just as he was feeling strange, he saw a system notification appear in his vision:
Detected Fragment of Power of Destiny, can be absorbed! Absorption complete. Quest system repair successful. Quest system activated!
Liang Lidong quickly opened the system and found that the originally gray quest system was indeed lit up. Although there were no quests on it, looking at the familiar interface, he smiled gently.
Quests were the real key to players leveling up quickly. In the game, players could achieve heights that NPCs couldn't achieve in eighty years, in just eight years. It was all thanks to the quest system. Although the quests in the game were never repeated, and there were many harsh triggering conditions, even so, players still worked tirelessly to find any quests that could be triggered.
Because the people who reported quests were too rich, even a simple letter delivery quest could be equivalent to several days of normal training for players.
He just didn't know what the triggering rate of quests in the real world was like! Liang Lidong took a small breath. He calmed himself down.
Joan Of Arc was already asleep. Liang Lidong walked out of the temple. The cold moonlight shone on the ground, but soon, little white flowers floated down from the sky … It was snowing.
Standing quietly in the snow for a while, the slightly cold air finally calmed the excitement in his heart. He returned to the temple and had a good sleep.
The next day, white snow covered everything. The whole Reed Village turned white, but even so, everyone in the village was excited.
The reason was simple: the meat was distributed in the village center.
Yesterday, Liang Lidong took people to the mountain to hunt. Although he and Kail hurried back because they found the smoke signal in Reed Village, they still had a good harvest. The prey was carried back by other students who went up the mountain with them.
A black bear. Three deer and twelve rabbits. The prey was distributed. Every family in the village could get more than ten pounds of meat, which could be dried into bacon. As long as they ate a small piece every day, they could eat it for the whole winter … There was no such good thing in the past. Since Beta came to Reed Village, people in the village were gradually able to fill their stomachs.
Now that every family had surplus food and dried meat, they could survive this winter even if it was colder.
The best butcher in the village was Putin. According to the rules, the most precious things such as bear paws, bear hearts, and antlers were naturally distributed to the most prestigious people in the village. Liang Lidong accepted these relatively precious things in the temple. It was not that he was greedy, but this was the way of this era. As a noble, a priest, and an acting village chief, if he did not accept such an equal distribution, others would not dare to take the remaining meat and bones.
Emma was still wearing her white shorts. Although the weather was cold, for a level 12 professional like her, this temperature was no different from spring.
She stood near the temple and looked at everything in the village. Soon, Kail came and entered the temple. Half an hour later, Alice came too, riding her snow-white unicorn. Emma's eyes widened when she saw Alice's unicorn. She was too surprised to speak.
"Who are you?" Alice looked at Emma at the door of the temple, and hostility surged in her heart. Such a beautiful girl couldn't have fallen in love with Kail, could she?
"Alice?" Emma's face was full of shock. "How come you have a unicorn mount?"
"Who are you, and how do you know me?" Alice frowned.
Emma thought carefully and realized that this must be another person whose fate had been changed by Beta.
At this moment, Kail came out and said to them, "Alice, Miss Emma, the teacher asks you to come in."
The door of the temple was closed, and there was nothing but silence in the temple. Liang Lidong stood on the chanting platform and asked them to sit down. Then he said, "Alice, you might not know this girl yet. Her name is Emma, the Saintess of the Temple of Storms."
"Saintess!" Alice exclaimed. She naturally knew the significance of the word.
Emma looked at her and smiled, the kind of smile that only old friends would have.
Alice, however, was stunned, because she did not know the girl before her at all, but why did the girl seem to know her so well?
"I've asked you to come this time because I want to tell you something very unbelievable." Liang Lidong pointed at Emma and said, "This girl knows prophecy. She said that your fate has already been arranged. She'll tell you the details."
Emma stood up and looked at the two of them. She smiled and told them about what she saw in the prophecy illusion. It took about two hours, and then she added as the two of them gaped, "Of course, your fates have been changed because of His Excellency Beta."
Kail pointed at himself with his mouth wide open. "I'm the Hero who saves the world? I can't be with Barbara? "
Blushing, Alice looked at Kail. "I sacrificed myself to protect Kail?" She did not look scared at all.
"But that's only the prophecy I saw a few days ago, or even a few months ago. My prophecy has never been wrong, but after I came to Reed Village, I found that the fate here has been forcefully changed by Mr. Beta, and Kail has not awakened his Hero bloodline. Now, I'm a little worried about the future. "
Emma was a little worried as she spoke, but there was no worry on her face at all.
"Wait!" Alice suddenly realized something important. "You said that Barbara should have died yesterday, and I sacrificed myself for Kail. Then who is Kail's wife?"
It had to be said that women focused on different things. After hearing Emma's prophecy, Liang Lidong's first reaction was that the demon god was too weak, and had been killed by three minors and a middle-aged man.
According to Emma's prophecy, they had another companion, and they had to go to another country to find him.
Generally speaking, creatures with the title of "god" couldn't be killed by conventional means. They could only be killed by the power of laws. If it really was a demon god, then Kail's bloodline was a little exaggerated, but that was impossible. Even if Kail had the Hero bloodline, he was still at the level of an ordinary person. At most, he was a Legend. Liang Lidong strongly suspected that Emma's prophecy wasn't prophecy at all, but something else.
Liang Lidong felt that there seemed to be a big hand pushing the puppet Emma to do something inexplicable.
After hearing Alice's question, Emma's face turned gloomy, and she said unhappily, "It's me!"
Oh? That was Kail's voice.
Huh! Hmph! That was Alice's unhappy voice.
Emma's face turned even more awful. "In fact, I don't want to marry Kail at all. He's a good friend and comrade, but he's not a good husband at all, and he's not my type. In the prophecy, my marriage with him is a product of political purposes. Until we die, we don't have children, and he's still wallowing in the guilt of Barbara's death and Alice's death. I'm still the Holy Lady. Do you understand what that means? "
Kail didn't understand, and neither did Alice. They were too pure, but Liang Lidong understood.
Only a virgin can be a saintess.
