The Einherjars first had to return to the Temple of Life in Avalon to debrief. That was the projection of the World Tree in this dimension. According to the section of the Divine Codex, "Some Regulations Concerning the Daily Conduct of Public Officials," the Guardians of God who returned from battle should bathe and fast for three days in the temple they served to cleanse themselves of the filth from the mortal world. At the same time, they should listen to the teachings of the gods to restore their restless souls to purity … Of course, everyone knew that the so-called gods were now snoring in their master's pocket. That's right, that thing was just a trick. It was true that the Einherjars went to debrief, but if they didn't have a barbecue party in front of the temple, I would have to thank Artoria for suppressing them.
The only ones who could really abide by the teachings of the Temple of Life were the silly knights like Artoria or a few other guys with the same IQ as her.
Apart from these teachings, the Church of Life actually had a lot of rules, and they all sounded very reasonable. For example, various sacrificial rituals, the clothes that the priests of the Goddess and the knights of the Holy See should wear, the food that the believers should eat on a fixed day every month, and the position of the goddess' statue in the home. If you just listened to the list, you would think that this church was very reasonable. But if you really saw the statue of the goddess holding a lollipop and smiling foolishly, you would probably cry.
It was said that when Liliana wrote the "Bible of the Goddess of Life", she directly copied and pasted it from Baidu Fantasy Bar. You would know how many of these things were really worth following.
While Fina was immersed in the beautiful scenery of Fairy Lake, Liliana and I didn't stay idle. The heroic spirits had to go through the formalities of debriefing the temple, while we acted as guides to let Fina familiarize herself with her sanatorium. Since we were in Avalon, we had to experience the unique life of this fairyland. Since it was a fairyland, the first thing to do was naturally to ride on unicorns. Due to various reasons, Liliana was very familiar with the unicorns that ran business in the Fairy Forest. With a whistle, a large group of snow-white horse-like creatures came over. Now we were busy bargaining with these beasts.
I knew what they were like in the legends. These beautiful holy creatures were beautiful and elegant, only virgins were allowed to ride them, and they were loyal and kind. But in Avalon, if you dared to say that, you would be treated as a rare animal. Which of the spirits and ravens here didn't know about the darkness and monopoly of the unicorn rental industry? Profiteering and greed?
This group of people who were greedy for small gains had now risen to 2.2 yuan per kilometer.
However, Liliana was half a local snake in the Holy Land, and also one of the witnesses to the birth of the unicorn race. Naturally, her power was different. The unicorns she found for us were all 1.40 yuan … No matter how divine a beast was, it was still a beast.
They didn't need to pay for water, electricity, rent, insurance, and housing. Besides, as they depended on the weather, they obviously didn't need to spend money. They used biscuits to trade with the unicorns. Of course, other snacks were fine as well. The taste and shape didn't matter. As long as the unicorns liked to eat it, it would be hard currency. In this aspect, the unicorns were kinder than mortals, and it more or less reflected the beautiful characteristics of holy creatures. However, when Liliana took out a pile of Wangzai steamed buns, I couldn't stand it anymore. It would take us at most ten yuan to travel from here to the Emerald Outpost in Artemis. You used ten Wangzai steamed buns to fool a bunch of animals, how guilty would that be?
Ten minutes later, I finally understood Liliana's good intentions. Because the main road in the Fairy Forest was blocked, the unicorn team decided to take a detour. It would probably cost a lot more to travel, and the maintenance fees would have to be paid by the passengers. However, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the pile of tree trunks blocking the road was actually piled up by the unicorns themselves. Not to mention, they had even forgotten to clean up the hoof prints on the ground …
The next time I rode a unicorn, if I didn't prepare a handful of popcorn for these bastards, I would be letting down my consumer's righteous conscience!
"Friend, it's so beautiful here."
The sound of light hooves came from behind me. Fina drove the unicorn to a position that was parallel to mine. Her words also temporarily relieved me from the depression of being scammed on a taxi.
"Ah, it's good that you like it. Avalon is a world that Jingle personally designed. Although she's often unreliable, I'm still quite surprised that this little thing designed this work."
As soon as I finished speaking, a small head popped out from the pocket in front of my chest. "That's right, that's right. Jingle is amazing! Although she didn't pass the material evidence test, Jingle has always been studying hard. Jingle can now be ranked in the top 100 of the elementary school group! "
… The problem is that you should have entered the middle school group twenty or thirty thousand years ago, right?
"Don't worry about the details! Those who care about the details are idiots! "
I was ridiculed by my own pet.
"Friend, I really can't understand you Shiring Apostles now. In front of outsiders, you are like war machines that fight endlessly. Your battleships only make people think of coldness and the smell of blood. But the more I interact with you, the more I feel that … you seem to be a very kind race. It's just that you don't like to interact with others, and because the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, you don't dare to slack off. This is really strange. What kind of race are you?"
"Don't say 'you'." Sandora's voice sounded from the other side. "Right now, you should say 'we'. You are also one of us."
"Strictly speaking, your first impression of the Shiring Apostles wasn't wrong. We have been a race of war since a very long time ago. Although we are fighting to destroy the Chaos Abyss, it is undeniable that the Shiring Apostles are used to using violence and terror to solve problems in most situations. As for the current change, it is actually thanks to Ah Jun. I believe that as time passes, you will soon experience it for yourself."
After hearing Sandora's words, even I felt embarrassed. Liliana, who was riding in my arms, began to squirm restlessly and tried to pinch my nose. She was going to have a good time when we arrived at the station. On the other side, Pandora and Visca were about to roast Liliana with their gazes.
Although my mount's personality made me a little speechless, it was indeed quite relaxing to ride on a unicorn in such a wonderland. Especially since the life energy in the air here allowed me to rapidly recover my energy. After fighting outside for so long, of course, sleeping after returning home was a form of rest. However, riding on a unicorn around Fairy Lake was an even more advanced form of rest.
Of course, it wasn't purely for a stroll. According to Sandora, this could be considered a routine inspection after returning from a battle, which was the responsibility of a leader. Although I was very curious as to who else in my group apart from Sandora would have such an awareness.
It had been more than half a year since Avalon was built. Since I didn't have any previous experience in planning a "Divine Kingdom," I handed over all the daily management of Avalon to Artemis and Liliana. Reality proved that these two, one smart and capable, one mischievous, completed their tasks quite well. The Jadeite Outpost built at the border of the Fairy Forest was a silhouette of the gradual growth of this ideal country. Unlike the hard lines of the Xiling Empire's technology, most of Avalon's buildings had a "mysterious" and "elegant" feel to them. This was a brand-new architectural style formed by combining the blood elf architecture of Silvermoon City with the elven architecture of Vidis Forest, and then integrating it into the majestic overall lines of the World Tree Temple. It was difficult to describe these buildings that were like works of art because they didn't have a fixed structure or image. These were things that truly followed the teachings of the Goddess of Life. They had the style of "becoming one with nature" and "building a city of a thousand feet in the forest without being out of place" …
I definitely wouldn't admit that I said all this to cover up the fact that we actually got lost 500 meters away from the Jadeite Outpost …
"It's all your fault, you miser! Didn't you just exceed the mileage limit? Why did you have to come down early? "
After much difficulty, we finally found the Jadeite Outpost hidden in the green forest that seemed to be the remains of a mysterious ancient god's residence. I, who had already taken a long detour, immediately knocked on Liliana's head. "You're so stingy over a few small steamed buns!"
"Hmph, I can't let those bastards get away with it!" Liliana tilted her head. "Three months ago, they used the reason that the average weight of Avalon's Heroic Spirits had increased as a reason to increase the price!"
Let me give you a suggestion. In the future, when we ride unicorns in Avalon, we'll all bring popcorn …
"Ah, Archbishop! And everyone, you're back? "
A light voice interrupted my and Liliana's daily bickering. It turned out to be Bell, who was dressed in light hunting gear, leading a few Heroic Spirit Sentinels out of the forest. They seemed to have just finished their daily patrol in the depths of the Fairy Forest. It wasn't that there was a problem with public security, it was mainly because there were many wild hairy monsters in the forest that liked to pee in the upper reaches of the river. Then, they would be beaten black and blue by other Spiritual Beasts and Divine Beasts. Every few days, Bell would go over to apply medicine on those troublesome little things.
"Where's Artemis? She didn't come over today? "
"Ah, Captain … Senior Artemis did not come here today. Recently, a kind of sprite that has just completed its evolution has appeared next to the newly established Clear Sound Town. The scholars living in the town reported that the sprites are always noisy at night. Senior Artemis is going to confirm whether those little lives are harmful and teach them some simple knowledge."
After listening to Bell's report, I suddenly felt a strong sense of RPG déjà vu. Speaking of which, was the normal life in Avalon so full of fairytale style?
"It seems that those 'harmless' life forms that Jingle released are also keeping you busy." I used my finger to touch a certain little head that popped out of my chest pocket. The latter didn't seem to realize that she was the culprit of the previous conversation and was still looking around curiously. "Right, this is Fei Na, our new member. She's a very special Shiring Apostles. Sandora has already uploaded the details to the public database. You'll understand once you see it."
After temporarily leaving Fei Na in the hands of the Avalon Sentinels, the upper echelons of the Empire finally completed their return patrol. We looked at the Shadow Base and the main areas of the Avalon Divine Kingdom. We also met with the person in charge on duty. I didn't know what the symbolic meaning of doing this was, but seeing that everything in the house was running in an orderly manner and that everyone was peacefully living and working, my heart finally returned to a completely relaxed state. Perhaps this was the true meaning of returning to patrol.
A few days ago, this place was probably bustling with activity.
"Hey, Jingle is going to the Pantheon!"
When I returned to the Surface World, Jingle popped out of my pocket. The little one's face was covered in chocolate, causing Anveena, who was in charge of washing my clothes, to sigh.
"Jingle will get the Pantheon to send a special representative over as soon as possible!"
"That's true, we have to hurry up on this matter." I nodded, cleverly ignoring the awkwardness of nearly forgetting about this important matter. Then, I turned to Seves, who was on standby. "I'll have to trouble you with the other matters. There's also the establishment of Ola and the preparation of the Leader Bees. They have been on standby in the Library for too long without any supplies. We need to conduct a comprehensive inspection as soon as possible. After all, the functions of the Empire Admiral's shipboard maintenance cabin are limited."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your concern for the warriors."
After giving the final instructions, everyone left the City of Shadows.
Everything was still familiar. An ordinary big house, a clean living room, familiar furniture, and even the cupboard in the kitchen with Sandora's teeth marks on it gave me a sense of familiarity. Even though the functions couldn't be compared to the high-tech cabins on the battleship, this was the only place that felt like home.
Even though I wasn't that tired, there was still a time difference between the two worlds. It was still early for dinner, so I decided to take a short nap and let Shallow Shallow and the others, who had limitless energy, do whatever they wanted.
In the end, when I woke up, it was already sunset outside.
"Two hours? That's ridiculous. "
Initially, I only wanted to lie down for a while before waking up. I didn't expect to sleep from afternoon to night, a total of almost two hours.
Right after I woke up, the door to my room was pushed open from the outside. However, I didn't see anyone enter the room as I lay on the bed. I only heard light footsteps. Do I even need to ask who it was?
"Mercury Lamp, you finally know how to walk in from the ground."
As expected, the energetic voice of a certain puppet sounded. "Because I knocked into the door frame every time, you idiot would laugh for a long time … Hey! Why didn't you guess that Pandora would come in? "
"Stop joking. Even if Pandora came in, from this angle, you would still be able to see a small patch of hair."
This topic was really tricky. In any case, the 92.3cm Chairman didn't utter a word. Two seconds later, a black Goth loli suddenly appeared in mid-air. With lightning speed, she smashed into my stomach. "Hey! Stupid human, help me comb my hair! "
It was only then that I noticed that Mercury Lamp wasn't wearing her rose headband. Instead, she had a head of dazzling silver hair. I could faintly smell the scent of shampoo from her body. "Did you just take a bath?"
"Yeah!" The little puppet stuffed the comb into my hand and nodded happily. "I washed it before that idiot priest did!"
It's another small battle between you two. I don't understand. A puppet and a priestess. What kind of irreconcilable class conflict could exist between these two?
"Oh right, Little Lamp, I actually have a question I wanted to ask you." I suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering me for a long time. Since Mercury Lamp just finished her shower, I might as well ask. "When you shower, won't water get into your ball joints?"
Mercury Lamp, who was obediently lowering her head for me to comb her hair like a cute little girl a second ago, immediately stiffened when she heard my words. Then, she skillfully grabbed the large hand behind her head and brought it to her mouth, letting out a "ah" sound.
"Ohhhhh — — Teeth! You'd better save your teeth, idiot! "
In short, this was our daily routine.
Even Miss Lin who came to freeload was a daily routine.
A second before dinner started, the doorbell rang. I didn't even know if I should ridicule Miss Lin's shameless freeload skills. She was completely rushing to eat! If you came a minute earlier, she might have been able to help prepare the dishes.
Also, I was extremely disappointed to find that Anveena really did prepare an extra person's bowl and chopsticks on the extended dining table — — Miss Lin coming on time to freeload had become a routine here!
"Oh! Blockhead, you came back alive? I'm here to freeload! "
While shouting such shameless words, the half-fairy who used her prophecy ability to predict the meal time walked into the dining room as if it was her own home. Then, her gaze slowly swept across our family.
Pandora and her sister, who had a stack of books on the chair, the Archbishop, who was sitting on a high stool, and Shallow Shallow, who was busy using chopsticks to poke holes in the rice in front of her and stuffing beans into it. Finally, her gaze landed on a certain Empire's leader.
I immediately realized that Lin Xue probably didn't just come to freeload.
"Hehe, blockhead, it was pretty exciting when the Death Star Fortress went berserk, right?"
I instantly withered: As expected, Lin Xue came to interrogate me.
The reason for the Death Star Fortress going berserk had already been discovered by a large number of Schilling Engineers who worked tirelessly to investigate. The direct reason was naturally what we already knew. When the psionic energy was converted to 95%, the Death Star's control core didn't have enough power, causing the energy to be impure and the fortress to collapse prematurely. However, the root cause of this accident was the technology that was analyzed in the Crimson Moon Cube.
That technology had fatal loopholes, but it wasn't until it caused a disaster that Tawil discovered these loopholes.
Also, something to note was that when the Crimson Moon Cube was picked up, the half-fairy in front of me had already warned me to never study the deeper information of the cube, especially the black technology it recorded. It was obvious that all of us had looked down on Lin Xue's warning.
Now, this brat had come to interrogate me.
"Then, how about we eat first?"
Looking at Lin Xue's obviously worried and angry face, I knew that I was in the wrong, so I could only try my best to divert her attention. At least let me eat peacefully, right?
Lin Xue immediately nodded: "Nonsense, I'm here today to freeload. After eating, I'll settle the score with you!"
For a freeloader to freeload to this extent, it could be considered a shocking feat.
