Chapter 124 Witness (3)(1/2)
"Ahhh... Lord Priest, you are here..." The anxious voices of the priests suddenly rang behind me, and I almost didn't fall into the pool.
After stabilizing, I turned around and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
The priests ran out of breath, wiped the sweat from their heads before they stepped forward and said, "Wang..."
"King? What's wrong with the King?"
"The king is gone again!"
“…”
"This time, we definitely didn't tease you." The priests said solemnly, "There are so many decrees to be promulgated this year, and the negotiations on the border also require the king's instructions... You know what we are going to say next?"
"...It's right. I'll go find the king now, you guys go back first."
"Then I'll bother the chief priest."
After smiling and seeing the priests away, I looked at them and walked away, I sighed: "They have left, you don't have to hide in the water."
At this time, the original lotus flowers in the pond suddenly shook a few times, and then the king of heaven, who should have sat in the room to handle government affairs, walked out of the water in a wet body.
"Save." He was a little happy, and then turned to smile at me.
In desperation, I handed him the veil I carried with me: "You are somewhat restrained..."
"clang!"
The bell sounded from the Shanjian Tower in the distance.
"Speaking of it, it's been a long time since I heard the bell." The king of heaven thought, "What should I ask the wisest and gentle chief priest of our Shanjian City?"
"king."
He sighed and returned to his gentle expression: "Okay, OK, I will deal with those things. Before that, I will stay in your library for a while."
Seeing him leave, I also set out to the temple.
There are long tables on the temple, and the long tables are filled with various political books and copywriting. The priests are running back and forth, with all kinds of discussions ranging from big or small, and they will inevitably feel their heads hurt after a long time.
Since I'm all busy with my own affairs, I plan to turn around and leave.
"Oh, Lord Priest, you are here!"
Someone shouted, and the temple immediately became quiet.
"Sir, Priest! Have you found the king?"
"Sir, the temple income and expenditure this year is difficult to balance, and the expenditure is completely beyond expectations..."
"Sir, Priest..."
Although this is my daily routine,...
"Ahem." I cleared my throat, "I came here only when I heard the bell. Is there anything big happening?"
"About that..." The priests handed over a letter, with a delicate and clean appearance, indicating that the person who came was extraordinary.
"I am a distinguished guest from afar, and I have a major discussion with Wang."
"Now?"
“It’s now.”
Since it is an important matter, even if you have some doubts, you have to...
"So, do we want..." The priests looked at each other and finally looked at me.
"That's right!" I placed the letter on the tray I thought the priest was holding. "Now start, arrange the accommodation of the distinguished guests, and make sure that they live closer to the temple. Call the people with skilled cooking skills in the city to come, and the subsidy fee will be deducted from me. The remaining people will immediately clean up the documents here. Tonight, the king will invite these distinguished guests."
"But... the chief priest..." The priests looked a little embarrassed, "It's only five hours before night..."
"If you can't do it, go find what you can do and give what you can to those who can do it. This is my only requirement." Seeing that they were still in place, I patted the tray held by the priest, "What are you waiting for? Go and do it quickly!"
The priests then scattered in a hurry, and the temple became noisy again.
I came out of the temple and went straight to find Indra.
The bookstore was still quiet. When I walked in, he was sitting next to the table, looking at the pottery on the table.
"You're back." He glanced at me, "You seem to have always kept this pottery here. Do you like it very much?"
...You've just noticed it now?
"That's very precious." I also sat down to the table and said.
He reached out and knocked on the pottery: "But why are there stones in it? That's not a valuable thing."
"...Do you think I'm a person who measures everything by value?" I asked half-jokingly.
"Of course. Your assistance is indispensable for the heavenly realm to be restored to what it is now, Sala." He took out a stone from the pottery and observed it carefully, "So I think there is nothing that can be abandoned in your eyes."
...
"A guest has already come to visit, I have already arranged a banquet. Just tonight, what do you think?"
"Guest?" He was a little surprised.
"That's right." I paused for a while and said with a smile, "Now the heavenly realm has become stronger. No matter how far or near, visitors are guests. This is also one of your compulsory courses."
"But the weather is so good, wouldn't it be a waste to sit in the temple to handle government affairs? What's more, those government affairs are not difficult for you, so why do you have to deal with them yourself?"
"Your Majesty, it's not the time to get angry."
"...I get it." He stood up reluctantly, "I'll go back now."
"By the way, I have asked someone to free up the temple. You should stay here to deal with it. I will send the documents here."
“…”
"king."
“…”
"Wang, it's time to entertain guests tonight. Please behave appropriately and don't think about being perfunctory."
“…Oh, I get it.”
“…Indra.”
"I understand, Lord Priest."
...At this point, I can't figure out why it turned out like this. Could it be that I was too diligent at the beginning and then let him taste the sweetness?
...No, it will never be like this.
but……
"After that, Sara."
Indra, who sat honestly at the desk, called me seriously.
"Do you have any more instructions?"
"I remember someone recommended you to me, and then I discovered your talent." He seemed to be recalling something, "That person... do you know who it is?"
...
"Hey? I went to the temple after receiving the letter written by the king... As for whether anyone recommends me to you... Sorry..."
He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."
"Then, if you have nothing to do, I'll take it back first."
He nodded, and I turned around and left the bookstore.
...
That person...
...I still remember that the person who watched me leave at the end had gently revealed his heart.
So, when I saw the Trayastrimsa god for the third time—
"I've met again, Sala."
The Trayastrimsa god was still standing in front of the ruins, and he turned around and looked at me a little far away from him.
"...Are you going to take me away? Now I am dead."
He smiled gently: "It's okay to stay."
"Hey? But you were before..."
"Forgive me for my selfish thoughts at that time." Trayastrimsa's eyes showed sadness, "Facts prove that I did not choose the wrong person, you did. The battle between the Son of the Spirit and the Son of Darkness will affect many people. After a thousand years, they will eventually have another decisive battle. The Son of Darkness is sealed in the abyss, and you are the only witness. For this, you only need to guide others to help the Son of Darkness break free from the shackles."
“…”
"I know what you are worried about, so I will turn into a barrier to protect the heavens and man. Ordinary people should not be involved in this battle."
"But you have disappeared long ago... You are talking to me now..."
"Although this thought is easy to dissipate, I can still do that kind of small thing. Going back to Trayastrimsa Heaven was my idea, but seeing you... and those heavenly people, I suddenly felt that maybe in this land, even if there are disputes, they are still understanding and supporting each other. The heavenly clan is not a bird or a beast, nor is it ruthless and unruly. When I understand this, it is also time to say goodbye." He stretched out his hand and touched my head, "Didn't you always want to stay by that person? Next, you have a lot of time to be with him. Even if he no longer remembers you and you no longer remembers, it will be an extremely happy day."
