Chapter 979 (1/2)
”Really gone?” Akso returned to his residence and found that the evil lady had left. He recalled the experience of the night as a dream.
Fortunately, it's not a nightmare. It looks more like a dream.
Akso is very strange. The evil gods usually take too much and even ask people to sell their souls. What this evil lady does seems to have nothing to do with evil.
”What a strange fellow. I don't know her name until now. I don't ask for anything except to sneak into the temple and watch the sky mirror! If all the evil gods were like her, what would the gods look like? ”
Akso suddenly thought that the goddess of wisdom allowed the temple to be smoky, and praised the words of praise as much as possible. There was a big gap between the humanized goddess and the imagined Athena.
”Child! What are you thinking? ”
”Chief sacrifice?” Akso shivered, and she didn't expect that the chief priest would quietly enter the room and come to her back.
”To see you is like seeing me when I was young, life! From beginning to end, since you appear, it means that I am coming to an end. ”
The chief priest seems to have removed his usual dignity and become a kind-hearted old lady.
She said kindly, ”looking back on my former self, I'm as young as you are. When I'm at a loss, I cut through the thorns and slowly grope for the way ahead. Finally, one day, I reached my wish and sat in today's position, only to find myself cold and unable to get warmth... ”
Akso looked at the chief priest in surprise. Athena was not the goddess of wisdom in his mind, and the chief sacrifice was not the same as he had imagined. He looked like an old lady who liked to read in pieces.
Afraid of the former majesty of the other side, akso showed great respect: ”you are high, why do you feel cold?”
The old lady sat down on the bed and sighed, ”you are still young, and you can't understand my hardship. That position is cold and merciless, let me have the distance with everybody. More to my horror, I had to make myself colder to exclude those who wanted to pull me down. Ah, power is a road of no return! Are you ready to take this road? The same question I asked the praise priest. She wanted to cultivate her to be her successor, but she disliked me for being too slow and couldn't wait to get rid of me! And I'm just a lonely old lady. I have nothing but this position, no more! ”
Akso was astonished and felt that if he was kind, he would probably be recognized by the chief priest.
”Lord priest, akso is willing to follow your steps and serve you from this moment on! For ever. ”
”Ha ha! You are a good boy. You started from the beginning, so you don't have so much ambition. It's your weakness, it's your strength. Well, I've got a satisfactory answer. In this temple, you are more qualified to be a praise priest. Tomorrow, a ceremony will be held to let all the priests become witnesses. You, akso, will be the master of this temple. This is the most solemn promise... ”
