Chapter 654:
"Everyone can put a candle, and the candle will burn until the end of the festival."
While Isius was speaking, several more candles were placed on the platform. Although the candlelight was weak, it was quite bright when it was too many. Elai played with the candles and fell into deep thought.
"Isseus, do you have to put it on now? I haven't thought about what to reflect on and pray for."
After losing his memory, he slowly adapted to the life of the chosen ones, and finally rebuilt himself bit by bit. Even though his past is still blank, with the help of many people, he is no longer so confused and uneasy.
Is he the same person as the "original" Yilai? Or has he become a completely different person? No matter which one he is, he doesn't know. So, if he wants to reflect on which province he should be against, is it the original him or the current him?
"It's okay, you can put it on as long as you are during the God-Sacrifice." Issius's voice quietly brushed through his ears, like a hoarse wind. "...I haven't thought about it myself."
At this moment, Elaine saw Juliet in front of the stepping platform and opened her eyes wide in surprise, because Pan Di and Sager were there too.
Pan Di and Juliet were talking. For a moment, the scene of Juliet trying to scratch Pan Di broke into his mind, making Elaine want to pull the two of them apart, but after thinking about it carefully, the first person who attacked was Sager standing next to him, so he quickly calmed down.
Pan Di unilaterally spoke to Juliet. Juliet showed no impatient expression, nor was he furious because the other party was a dragon clan, and showed his claws to fight.
On the contrary, the atmosphere between them changed and became unprecedentedly harmonious, just like friends. Pan Di had already finished speaking. She was a little uneasy, her fingers were tucked together nervously, and she smiled friendlyly at Juliet.
"Julietz, can we be friends?"
Julie looked at Pan Di, her eyes on her left and right sides looked like gems. She was silent for a long time, so long that people thought she would not respond, the voice came in a low voice.
"Okay." Juliet lowered his head, as if hiding his shyness, "But you want to tell me why you always want to be friends with me. Obviously I... have always been unfriendly to you."
"Very good!"
Pan Di jumped up and pulled Juliet into circles. Juliet could not resist the brute force of the dragon clan, so he could only be pulled together. "Meow...! Stop it! Otherwise I won't get along with you!"
"Ah, sorry, sorry."
Pan Di let go of his hand, feeling a little embarrassed, but still smiled.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just think... you always look so lonely, I just want you to be less lonely."
Juliet had just stood staggeringly, and when she heard this, her face was blushing. She seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, a powerful pressure came overwhelmingly, making her body stiff.
Not only Juliet, but everyone present was rigidly in place like a statue of the Lord, and even Elai was no exception. Elai recognized the pressure. When he visited the East Tower, the pressure always appeared from time to time, like a huge black dragon entrenched...
Mixia appeared in front of Juliumi. Mixia's appearance instantly reduced the atmosphere to freezing point. Her black figure was like a huge beast, and she could destroy Juliumi at any time. Juliumi was at a loss and fear spread in her heart. When Mixia appeared, her only thought was: she was finished.
It's over. It must be because she usually has a bad attitude towards the dragon clan and even tries to hurt Pansoldiya. Now Mixiya is here to take revenge on her.
But things didn't go as Juliet thought.
Just when she thought life was about to end and was about to close her eyes to meet death, Mixiya suddenly leaned down and looked down at her. She said softly:
"My daughter talked to me about you, and she said that the curse troubles you. I thought about it carefully and felt sorry. I'm sorry, I'll try to compensate you a little."
Juliet's eyes were wide open and she couldn't speak at all. She wondered if she had heard it wrong, but her proud ears could not deceive her.
Mixiya, who is tall and above, Mixiya, who curses the witch cat, and Mixiya, who is the leader of the dragon clan, will actually... apologize to her.
Surprised emotions, surprised emotions, fear emotions, happy emotions... These emotions were intertwined, and she could hardly tell what it felt. The only thing she could clearly feel was ecstasy.
Finally, Juliet showed a crying smile.
"……Um."
"Pan Di, please take care of you."
The God-Sacrifice is a festival of reflection, but few people know that not only mortals but also gods can reflect.
So on the stairs platform, next to the candlelight of Juliet and Pan Di, the candlelight lit by Mixiya was next to it. The three candlelights silently added a little light to the night, warm and firm, as if declaring that even if the festival was over, the wishes made tonight would not change easily.
When Mixiya apologized to Juliet, Elaine and Ethus, not far away, witnessed the whole process. After Mixiya and Juliet were reconciled, Elaine was still stunned, not knowing how to react until someone pulled his sleeve.
"Let's go, how long do you have to watch?"
Issius pulled Elai's sleeve again and turned around to leave the square. Elai was stunned for a moment, then followed Eheus obediently, but still looked back from time to time.
"Isseus, don't you have to say anything in the past?"
"No." Issius was silent for a while and added: "Some things are enough to know."
“Huh?”
They left the square and crossed the street where the festival stalls were set up. At the end of the road, some cold chairs were placed for people to rest. At this time, there was no one around, and everyone was probably busy shopping in the stalls and following the square to light the lights.
Isius found a quiet position to sit down, patted the position beside him and hinted at Elaine. Isius sat down next to him, waiting for Isius to explain.
The lighting magic was flashing, and various lights wandered freely on Issius's face, leaving shadows on his soft facial features. Issius didn't speak, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. After a while, he finally thought about what to say and spoke cautiously: "We will not interfere with the private affairs of other God-selected people."
With Elai's patient attention, Isius continued: "We are colleagues at work, but we are also friends or family members. Because the distance is too close, once there is a dispute or a sideline, it will become very embarrassing.
"So, the unspoken rule of getting along with the chosen ones is: we do not interfere with other people's private affairs."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't rush to interrupt, I'm explaining." Issius played with the cuffs of his coat. Although he was so complaining, he didn't look unhappy. "Simply put, suppose I had a fight with you today, because Zhaixing is a very small place, and everyone will know soon, but without affecting himself, no one will deliberately mention it, nor will he choose a side station, just treat it as an open secret.
"Although there is no explicit regulation, there are many things that everyone knows privately. The Dragon and the Witch Cat have a knot for a long time. Soon, Pan Di and Juliet made friends, and Mixiya and Juliet apologized... Everyone will know these things very soon, but when the parties involved did not mention them on their own initiative, no one would say anything. At most, they would understand them. This is a tacit understanding shared among the chosen ones."
"It feels a little cold," Yilai murmured with some melancholy.
"Maybe." Issius stared at him, with his clear black eyes with a cleverness of age, as if the one carrying this green and tender body was a soul that had lived for a long time.
"We are colleagues at work, but we are also friends and family. Because the relationship between God's chosen ones is so close and complex, the best way to reduce friction is to give each other space moderately."
Elai fell into silence, his expression was thoughtful. After a while, his blue eyes refocused on Issius's face, showing a harmless smile.
