Chapter 638: The Ignition of the Lost Country
This is monk fruit tea, which is very comfortable when it enters the throat.
Now she was holding the teacup, and tears burst out of her eyes.
Ah Qian quickly wiped away her tears.
"You're so good, three words can scare a little girl into tears. Chitose got up from the couch and approached Ah Qian, "I have been greatly wronged, why don't you cry happily?"
"I can't ......" Ah Qian endured her instinct to sob, "Crying is cowardice, and it will let the demon take advantage of it!"
"Who taught you?" is so right. Chitose rolled her eyes and raised her finger to gently brush the hair on her forehead, "Cry, just cry, I promise." β
There was an indescribable magic in her voice. Somehow, Ah Qian's stomach full of pain suddenly surged up, her nose was sore, and she cried bitterly "wow"!
She cried heartbreakingly, and it became more and more intense.
Fortunately, the tea room set up an enchantment, so the sound did not come out. Yan Saburo held a chess piece and didn't put it on the board for a long time.
Chitose patted Ah Qian on the back for comfort, once, twice......
After a quarter of an hour, the maid's crying faded away, and the rest sobbed silently.
The fragrance of plum blossoms has filled the room, and Ah Qian can still smell the crisp fragrance of plum blossoms at first, but she can't smell it later, but she feels dizzy, and she doesn't know where she was driven away because of her physical discomfort.
Her eyes slowly closed, and she was desperately sleepy.
Chitose didn't ask in a low voice until her breathing became even, "Where do you live?"
Ah Qian's voice and expression became calm: "Jinguang Island." β
"How far is it from here?"
"It's half a day's boat ride. β
Her eyes closed, and Yan Saburo and the two took off their masks. According to the saying about time in the Hidden Country, a day is equivalent to an hour in the outside world, so Jinguang Island, where Ah Qian lives, is about half an hour's boat ride from here.
After the regular questions were asked, Chitose then asked her, "Who arranged for you to come to Zhu Xianlou?"
"Lady Shang. β
Lady Shang is the leader of the maids, two levels higher than Ah Qian.
"What are you going to do in Zhu Xian Tower?"
"Honored guests who serve the gods. β
Yan Saburo knew that the so-called "VIPs" were seafarers who had entered the Hidden Sea Country with a license, but, the gods?
Are they invited by the gods?
He leaned forward and whispered, "How do you serve?"
Ah Qian replied dumbfoundedly: "Meet all the needs of VIPs." And that's exactly what she did.
Yan Saburo thought of the attendants who had been planted in his and Chitose houses, as well as the movement coming from the Jingqing courtyard. Apparently all the attendants were required of so.
"The gods are really 'generous'. β
Chitose didn't hear Yan Saburo's irony and glared at him. Ah Qian said: "The gods are kind and generous, they give us life, build islands for us to shelter, give us food to keep us fed, and teach us to make clothes to withstand the cold......
"Well, the gods are so good to you. Chitose leaned closer to her, "So, have you seen the gods?"
Ah Qian shook her head: "No." β
"And how do you know it's good for you?"
Even in her sleep, Ah Qian's voice was extremely pious: "The divine envoy said that the gods are everywhere and omnipotent. Concealment is their handiwork and miracles. β
This world is indeed quite mysterious, and it makes people sigh at the miracle of creation. Chitose groaned: "Are Crystal Island and Treasure Island also the work of God, it seems to be a big deal...... If the gods are omnipotent, why should they use you to entertain VIPs?"
"Food and beasts, fish are not there to feed us. From birth to adulthood, we have sinned in eating grain and animal flesh, and we can only atone for our sins by giving everything to the gods. Ah Qian was full of longing, "We should be grateful for the opportunity given by the gods. β
Chitose raised his eyebrows and said to Yan Saburo, "You're right, this god is very generous. β
"More than one. Yan Saburo replied softly, "She said 'them'. β
Chitose smiled: "Maybe the gods are gathered together and have more power?" She turned to ask Ah Qian, "How many gods are there?"
"I don't know. Ah Qian said, "There are many, many gods. β
There are countless gods in the Hidden Country? Yan Saburo remembers that in the legends popular in Middle-earth, no one mentions that he has seen the gods. Where are so many gods hiding?
"There are countless gods, so how many are there?"
"There is only one angel. "Ah Qian is like a few family treasures," there are more and sometimes fewer letters, and now there are more than 20 people. β
Yan Saburo asked her, "Why did the gods let you be a maid?"
Ah Qian immediately said: "Because I am deeply guilty......"
Not again. Chitose rolled her eyes at Yan Saburo: "If you don't ask, don't ask! Look at me, Ah Qianββ"
She softened her tone, "Why did Lady Shang arrange for you to come to Zhu Xian Mansion to wait for people?"
"Each of us has to work hard and prosper because of us. Then Ah Qian seemed a little annoyed, "Everyone who loses from the Chosen One has to work." β
Yan Saburo finally heard a new word: "What is 'Heavenly Choice'?"
"Every few years, the gods enlighten a few children and bestow them with special wisdom and strength, and they are the Chosen One. Ah Qian's voice was full of envy, "Everyone wants to be the chosen one, but it's too difficult." β
It turns out that this is "pointing"! Yan Saburo and Chitose finally understood what the couple was referring to before going up the mountain.
"What is the criterion for judging the Chosen Son?" Chitose asked in a whisper, "How can I be nominated by the gods as the Chosen One?"
"I don't know. β
"I don't know?" Chitose Daqi, "I don't know the standard, you also recognize?"
The divine messenger said that the judging criteria should not be made public, otherwise someone would try to get into the camp and his heart would be dishonest. β
Chitose and Yan Saburo glanced at each other, and they felt that there was some truth in this sentence.
"If you are unsuccessful, you have to work hard, what will the chosen one do?"
They will be promoted to the rank of Faithful and will help the Divine Messenger manage the Hide. Ah Qian muttered, "Xiaoxin, the neighbor's child, was favored by God two years ago and was promoted to Xincha, and everyone was very envious. β
"Really?" Chitose said casually, holding her hand, "what has her family gained?"
"No, nothing. Ah Qian said righteously and sternly, "Xincha is the ground walker of the gods, and he must be impartial and not seek personal gain." After being raptured to Xincha, he left his home and moved to live on Crystal Island, never to return. β
Chitose's eyes rolled and rolled: "Parents didn't see him again?"
"Yes, we see it every year. Ah Qian tilted her head, "There was a time when Xiaoxin's mother missed him too much and sneaked into the dome to look for him, but was discovered by the guards." Xiao Xin told her not to go in the future, and then kicked her out. β
"How old is Shin this year?"
Recently, I stayed at home every day, and found that only the refrigerator at home was getting thinner. Alas, melancholy.
