233 Lets Have a Cha (1/2)
Two people were guarding the entrance, wearing the golden robe that covered their whole body. Their hands were hiding behind the loose and long sleeves, and their face was covered in a white hood.
Arina led the group to the entrance and the two people immediately blocked them at the double-door. The door was made of gold with intricate carving on it, ”Please state your business,” it was unknown who spoke between the two, but the voice was toneless, and it was the male's voice.
”We are here to receive blessings from the Radiant Gods,” Arina replied respectfully.
Without further conversation, the double-door opened without the two people opened it. As the door opened, the two people who guarded the door returned to their original position.
Arina motioned Tang and the others to follow her. Such a scene was unexpected to Tang Shaoyang. The temple was asking for money in exchange for the blessing, he thought the temple would be a crowded place like the Adventurer Guild, but the place seemed to be enclosed from outside influence.
When they entered the temple, the double door closed, and a brilliant light greeted them. From the entrance to the end of the hall, the red carpet stretched out, and they were a step away from the red carpet.
The brilliant light immediately showed them they were in a very big hall with pillars made of crystals on both sides. Behind the pillars, a giant statue was standing, many of them until the end of the hall.
Delia's jaw dropped at the brilliance sight of the temple's interior. The marbled floor, the brilliant light, and the statues were enough to amaze the girl. Elin did not show it up, but the fact that she kept glancing here and there was proof she lost her composure.
”Welcome to the Radiant Temple, how may I help you?” A soothing voice echoed through the big hall, and a figure suddenly appeared right in front of them.
The figure was wearing a pure white robe with intricate symbols in it. The figure was standing three meters away from them. It was either they did not notice her because of the amazing sight of the hall or the figure just appeared with some sort of skill.
”We are here to receive the blessing of the Radiant Gods,” Arina had her palms touched each other at her chest high and bowed her head to the figure that just appeared. Delia and Elin also followed to greet the figure, Tang Shaoyang then followed as well before the others also followed in tow.
Tang Shaoyang was hardly bothered with it, he was someone who did not believe in God's beings. They walked until the end of the hall. Instead of statues, they found five doors made of gold with an engraving of a beast.
From the leftmost door, it was a snake, the second one was a wolf, the third one was a lion, the fourth one was a giant bird, and the last one was a dragon.
”Who's going first?” The figure did not bother to explain anything, thinking the group already knew what would happen later. The group was looking at Tang Shaoyang, they were waiting for his order who was going first.
Arina had explained to them about the process of the blessing. The process of the blessing was quite simple but only one person could receive the blessing at one time.
”I will be the first,” Tang Shaoyang stepped forward. The figure in the white robe extended her arm toward, asking for the offering. The figure did not ask him what kind of blessing he wanted, at all.
