Chapter 856: 845. Light and Darkness
Chapter 856 845. Light and Darkness
Commander Suldak left Baron Martino's manor, and the enthusiasm for donations still hasn't subsided.
Martino’s friends all know that he is an architect, but he is better at talking on paper, and he can’t suffer a little bit.
He has a wide range of interests and hobbies, and he likes to travel the world, but he can't stand the pain of traveling. The only feat he achieved when he was young was to go around the Thorn Mountains and visit Wilkes City and Bena City. Although these two cities are far away Thousands of miles apart, but under the connection of the two-way teleportation gate, in the eyes of the nobles with the teleportation pass, the two cities are closely connected.
Wilkes City, like Wojmara City, belongs to the plane satellite city of Bena City, and their importance to Bena City is even higher than that of Constantinople and Hailansa.
After all, it is too close, and any material can be continuously transported as long as it passes through the portal.
Baron Martineau once studied at the Bena College of Arts, and his dream was to build a magnificent building like the Bena City Council Hall, Opera House, and Colosseum.
However, his character is lazy and unrestrained. Shortly after he graduated, his father passed away, so he had to rush back from Bena City to Dodan Town, where he inherited the title and family business and became a rancher in Dodan Town.
He has a wide range of interests and likes carving, but he feels that marble is too hard, so he tries wood carving.
After so many years, many buildings with different styles have been carved with wood.
Duodan Town is a border town on the Bailin Plane. There are almost nothing here except for a few shops.
There are only a few decent-looking buildings in the town, which are the town hall, a three-story hotel with attics, and a trading house. When the town hall was first built, Baron Martineau was very active and proposed The plan was also good, but then he screwed up because of his laziness and casualness.
The mayor of the town was so angry that he overturned the design of the town hall and redone it, so it became what it is today.
The town hall was built according to the rules. Although it has no special features, there is nothing to criticize.
Baron Martineau thought about building a temple of the Statue of Liberty in the town a long time ago.
He has been preparing for a long time, and has even prepared the funds for the construction of the temple, but he has not found a suitable priest to come. It was not that there were no priests at the beginning.
But the nobles in the small town have never seen such a beautiful priest who exudes brilliance.
In addition, the pursuit of beauty by the nobles in the small town has not kept up with the development of the times. When a priestess comes to the town, she will soon become the wife of a certain nobleman.
In fact, the poor life in the temple is not as good as being a noble lady in a remote town.
In particular, the nobles here are generally ranchers, and they all make a living by raising horses. Usually, they don’t think anyone is richer than the other, but the trainee priests assigned from the temple in Bena City are basically losers in the battle for theocracy. Or, the beliefs in their hearts and the girdle of their skirts are not so solid and stable.
The three trainee priests sent to Dodan town in succession have all become baronesses.
Of course, this happens occasionally in other border towns.
It caused the great priest in the Temple of the Statue of Liberty in Bena City to be furious, and reprimanded the red-clothed high priest of the Wilkes division: "Could it be that the trainee priests I have worked so hard to train here are for your country people?" To solve marital problems? '
So, the day before Baron Martino was about to break ground, the red priest of the Temple of Liberty in Wilkes City ordered the demolition of the temple in the town.
There is no Temple of the Statue of Liberty in Dodan Town. It has always been a pity for those nobles who did not marry apprentice priests.
Despite Baron Martino's efforts in many ways, he did not obtain approval from the Temple of Liberty in the city of Bena. Later, the entire Grimm Empire Temple of Liberty's battle priests and priests withdrew in batches, and now there are still bishops in the entire Grimm Empire There are only a few temples of priests and priests left.
The nobles in Dodan Town are not believers in the Statue of Liberty, but they really hope that there will be a temple in the town to enrich life in the town.
Monthly worship may seem boring, but it is fun to sit on a bench with other ladies, especially in summer, with thin dresses.
The Temple of Dawn and the Temple of Night once again aroused the enthusiasm of these nobles in the town.
They don't care what beliefs they have.
Baron Martino looked very excited when he saw the two models selected by Suldak. Countless construction plans flashed through his mind, and he felt that he should go to Commander Suldak with a copy of the architectural drawings tomorrow morning.
He has lived half his life, and he even feels that his future aristocratic life may be like riding a horse, drinking tea, dancing, playing cards, eating cookies every day, enjoying the rest of his life quietly, and there will not be much change.
But now, he suddenly realized that he could leave something in this world, and the desire in his heart made him look forward to it more than the last few seconds of eating cookies.
‘I must have my name engraved on the cornerstone of the temple. '
After sending the last friend away, Baron Martineau stood at the gate with his arms around his wife's shoulders, thinking so in his heart.
"Goddess of Dawn...Goddess of Night, what kind of gods are these two goddesses? Why didn't I read any legends about these two goddesses in the seminary?" Baron Martino's wife said with some doubts.
Baron Martineau waved his hand casually, and said excitedly: "It doesn't matter who they are, the important thing is that I want to join in, and I want to leave my name in the history of this temple of the twin goddesses."
After finishing speaking, he hugged his wife by the waist and walked slowly back to the courtyard under the moonlight.
Two maids followed quietly behind them.
…
Sit in front of the dressing table and remove the pearl earrings.
The low-cut evening dress reflects the swan neck, which has a pearly luster under the candlelight, and the collarbone on the shoulders outlines a slender silhouette.
After several times of "goddess descent", Selena found that her body was slowly changing, her skin became more radiant and elastic, and the flesh on the back of her arms appeared firmer, as if she had become much younger.
When night comes, my senses become more acute.
The self-confidence slowly accumulated in her heart also made her look refreshed.
Suldak stood behind Selena, pressing her hands on her shoulders. She stretched out her hands to cover the back of Suldak's hands, raised her head and smiled sweetly, and stretched her chest even tighter.
"How to build the temple... you are responsible for this?" Suldak asked.
"Of course, at least I am responsible for the part of the Dark Temple. The temple must conform to the appearance in the dream. In addition, I think that Baron Martineau seems to have a lot of ideas..." Selina's lips curled up, and her face showed a smug look.
Suldak bent down, printed on her soft lips, and said after parting:
"Do you want to contact him again tomorrow?"
Selena's eyes were clouded, but she had an unmistakable charm. Suldak noticed that she had changed a lot recently. The beautiful woman he saw in Wall Village at first has become more confident, sexy, Mature, and have a lot of their own ideas about life.
Selena turned her head to look out the window, and said softly: "I hope he can come to the door in person tomorrow. Although I know everything about the Dark Temple very well, I don't know. I need someone who is familiar with this aspect."
She untied the hair coiled on the top of her head, letting the big wavy hair hang down.
Then she stood up. This kind of evening dress looks beautiful, but it is also very cumbersome to wear on the body. The rope on the waist needs to be tightened by someone behind, and someone needs to be behind to help when it is untied.
Suldak unbuttoned the belt, and Selina exhaled slowly.
She rubbed her relaxed belly with her hands, the feeling of relaxation seemed to have opened the last shackles of her mind.
Selena wore only silk underwear, walked barefoot to the bathroom next to the master bedroom, and said to Suldak:
"Moreover, the Temple of Dawn and the Temple of Darkness cannot be built exactly the same. They should have their own characteristics, so I only know how to build half of them well."
Suldak has no opinion on how Selina built the Dark Temple.
Since she wants to be in charge of this, let her do it.
Suldak threw off the leather boots on his feet, lay on the big bed, holding a construction plan about Dodan Town in his hand, and read it seriously.
In the series of renovations in Suldak, the slums of the aborigines are only the first part to be moved. The quality of life of these aborigines, the houses here are too dilapidated, and a shrine will be built on the town square. Build a row of wooden houses facing the river.
In order to facilitate the free travel of the townspeople, Suerdak even planned to build two more arched stone bridges on the river.
He took out another piece of paper and slowly sketched what the stone bridge should look like with a charcoal pencil.
…
By the time Selena came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, Suldak was already lying on the bed and taking a nap.
The painting that was not even as good as a child's graffiti was spread on his belly, like the most naive children's stick figure, only a bridge can be seen with the lines on it, but that's all.
The charcoal pencil tumbled onto the rug by the window, and Selena stooped to build it up, placing it next to the candlestick on the bedside table.
She climbed onto the big bed, got into the quilt, and lay beside Suldak, resting her head on his strong shoulders, looking at his tough face carved out of marble, and gently looked at Suldak's He took a breath in his ears and asked:
"Hey, do you know... why you have been stagnant at level 19 with no savings?"
Her voice was as soft as possible.
Suldak, the trembling and excitement hidden in her eyes, the curiosity and contempt for the world.
Although he somewhat despises this **** who seems to have never seen the world, Suldak still tries to keep his mood as calm as possible, at least not to be noticed by her.
"you know?"
Suldak's heart trembled, but on the surface he asked vaguely.
He makes himself look very sleepy, like he just woke up from a dream
He didn't want to play this kind of guessing game with Nasi Divine Sense.
Selena blinked, stared at Suldak and said, "Goddess Celine revealed something to me in my dream, but I don't know if what I said is right..."
"Then you might as well talk about it."
Suldak turned his head, his forehead was almost touching hers, it was a face that people would never tire of seeing.
Selena arched into his arms, her lips pressed against his ears, and whispered softly:
"The goddess told me that although your strength has reached the peak of the first turn and you have comprehended the holy seal, you have never made a choice..."
Suldak asked in surprise: "What kind of choice?"
Selena closed her eyes and said quickly:
"You need to be more firm in your beliefs. Only by abandoning the other part can you achieve a breakthrough in strength."
It seems that Selena is also very resistant to the fact that there are people watching in the bed, and she is trying her best to drive this spiritual thought away from her body.
"That's it!" Suldak seemed to have found some direction in his heart.
Selena seemed drowsy, barely opened her eyes, and said in a sleepy voice: "Actually, the goddess also said that if possible, you might as well choose darkness. In fact, the power of dark stars is also very strong."
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Suldak forced a smile and said, "I prefer the power of the Holy Light, and I am not going to choose this anymore."
Seeing Selena falling asleep, he began to think seriously.
When Selena is possessed by divine sense, there will always be less pandering and more contempt and indifference, as if this is her second personality.
However, her body is becoming more and more adapted to this dark force, and she seems to be able to fully blend into the darkness.
The recent sacred breath in the body has also re-lighted all the nodes of the upper body.
The dark star that seemed to be able to devour everything was hidden under his lower abdomen, and all the vitality and power emanating from Suldak were sucked into that extremely dark black hole.
What Selena reminded him is that there is only one choice between light and darkness.
Hope I made the right choice...
