Chapter 26: Moon Song 1
After entering the temple, not only the walls are white, but also the dome and statues are white.
The sunlight above shines through the windows that indicate the different phases of the moon and onto the ground, forming a circle of beautiful light spots.
It seems like a magic circle appears under your feet, giving you a wonderful visual experience.
The most eye-catching are the three statues of goddesses in the front.
Like this temple, the statue of the goddess is also carved from marble.
Each statue is four or five meters high. Judging from the height alone, it looks a bit like the David statue that Brother Long had seen in his previous life.
The goddess in the middle is holding a book in her hand and wearing a hood.
The two goddesses beside her were slightly shorter, one holding a sword and the other holding a lantern.
The most crucial place is of course the 'merit box'.
There is a yellow wooden box on the right side of the statue, and people will put some money into it after praying.
There was someone standing in front of the statue, with his fingers clasped in front of his chest, praying silently.
Since it looked like it wouldn't be over in a short while, Second Brother Long took Dany to admire the murals first.
The murals are basically about some legends of the Moon Singer.
Among them was how the Moonsinger took the slaves of Valyria and hid in Braavos.
"Brother, look, why is the moon cracked?" Dany asked quietly in a low voice.
"split?"
Following the direction of her finger, Brother Long Er indeed saw a cracked moon.
At first glance, I thought it was a crack in the wall, but upon closer inspection, I saw that the moon was indeed cracked!
Brother Long Er looked back, but did not find any murals that could be connected.
He remembered that in the Valyrian legends, dragons flew out of the split moon.
Maybe the mural at the back should be a group of giant dragons flying out?
But why isn't this known to everyone drawn?
Unfinished project?
Obviously not possible.
Maybe there is another way to say it.
But now Brother Long Er doesn't intend to delve into it further.
When the praying men had left, he led Dany toward the idol.
He noticed a tall and thin nun standing next to the statue.
Also wearing a moon-white hood.
The "pilgrims" will be responded to to varying degrees based on the movement in the merit box.
The scene before him gradually overlapped with his experiences in his previous life, making Brother Long Er lose hope of getting anything useful from here.
But he decided to give it a try.
If you get enough gold coins, maybe the nun can also drop some equipment.
The brother and sister's good looks also attracted the nun's attention.
Brother Long Er nodded slightly to her, and the nun's eyes couldn't help but linger on Brother Long Er for a moment.
Viserys closed his eyes and frowned in a worried look.
He knew that the nun would definitely look at him, but if he wanted to have a deep conversation with her, he still had to use his money ability.
Of course, the in-depth conversation here means in-depth conversation in the literal sense.
About two or three minutes later, Brother Long walked to the yellow box.
There was a round hole on the box. Brother Long Er took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and put them in.
The nun's eyes lit up when she saw him moving, and she thought that the young man in front of her was really extraordinary.
Not only is he handsome, but he's also rich and generous. It seems like he's encountered some problems, so I have to go over and take a look.
So as soon as Brother Long turned around, he saw the nun walking towards him.
She first drew a circle on her chest, which was a special gesture used by Moon Singers.
Then he said:
"May the goddess guide us."
"May the goddess guide us." Brother Long Er also responded.
"I noticed that you looked very serious when you were praying just now. Did something happen to you?
If a relative is traveling far away, I have a 'Song of Protection' here; if your wife is giving birth at home, I have a 'Song of Childbirth' here; if you are confused about something, I have a 'Song of Guidance' here. "
Brother Long bowed slightly and responded:
"Thank you for your kindness. We have no relatives who travel far away. We are each other's only relatives."
There was an obvious flash of surprise in the nun's eyes. She had thought that the well-dressed brother and sister should be from a wealthy family, but she didn't expect that they were orphans.
She felt somewhat embarrassed by her incorrect prediction.
"I don't have a wife either, but as for the confusion..."
The nun saw that she finally had a place where she could demonstrate her professional abilities, so she spoke:
"I don't know what it is, can you tell me about it?"
The second brother Long looked embarrassed, as if hesitating for a moment, and then said:
"In fact, I don't know how to put it. I've been having some strange dreams recently. After waking up, I feel dizzy and very tired.
I was worried that I might have some strange disease, but the doctor told me that I was in perfect health, so I came to the goddess for help.
Seeing that the boy in front of her didn't seem to have any psychological problems, the nun felt that her "talk therapy" might not be very effective.
But she didn't want to let Brother Long leave just like that, otherwise it would be too unprofessional.
The nun said:
"Is that so? I wonder if you could stay a little longer so I can get something that might be helpful to you."
"Thank you very much."
Viserys watched the septa walk around the statue and through a small door.
And every word that Long Erge had just said entered Dany's ears without missing a word.
She always felt that her second brother Long was always full of energy, as if he was tireless.
He wakes up before he opens his eyes and falls asleep after he closes them.
But she didn't expect that Brother Long Er would have such health problems, which made her very worried.
I couldn't help but blame myself in my heart.
Five minutes later, the nun came out with a thin booklet in her hand.
"Sir, I think maybe the dream made you feel uneasy. This is the 'Moon Song' from the Moon Chanter Temple. Chanting it under the moonlight will calm your mind. It may be helpful to you."
Viserys looked down and saw that the book was a little yellowed, and it was obvious that it was often used by the septa herself.
"This should be your personal belongings, right? It's too valuable. I don't think I can..."
However, the nun smiled, pulling up the fine lines at the corners of her mouth, looking reassuring.
"Don't worry, I've written down all the contents. Consider it a gift to you."
"Gift! This..."
Before taking the booklet, Brother Long Er subconsciously called up his own panel.
If there is anything strange about this booklet, perhaps the panel will react.
To his surprise, when his hand touched the booklet, his magic power was directly restored by 5 points!
It seems that this is indeed a good thing!
Realizing that the trip was worthwhile, Brother Long Er felt around his body, but found that he was short of money.
Then he said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, but I think I'll be back soon. Can I talk to you again then?"
The nun smiled and said:
"Of course, that's not a problem."
But her eyes flickered to the bracelet on Dany's hand.
It was obvious that this little tattered booklet of mine could not be exchanged for that thing.
