Chapter 1,183 Surfaced
Not long after, the open space in front of the shrine was filled with young witches.
Due to the nature of the miko profession, most mikos are recruited from the age of fourteen and retire around the age of thirty.
After all, active mikos are not allowed to get married, and they are not even allowed to fall in love.
Therefore, the average age of the densely packed group of girls before us is terrifyingly young.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no shrine maidens over the age of thirty, but those people basically choose to stay away from marriage. It can be said that rice wives are an extremely alternative existence in the conservative and popular world.
And in this small Sōun Shrine, there are one or two such shrine maidens.
"Quiet."
Coral Palace Xinhai put on the blue and white witch robe of the living goddess witch and stood in front of the shrine with an air of elegance.
Her two faint words calmed down the slightly agitated witches.
It is extremely rare for Xinhai to dress like this. Even if there are any important meetings on weekdays, she only wears regular clothes, that is, a magically modified dress that looks like a pearl ribbon.
Only when worshiping gods every year does Xinhai put on this solemn costume.
Just seeing her unusual attire at this time, the witches below felt a faint feeling of something bad.
Could it be that there is another big problem at the shrine?
Of course, there are still a few people who complain internally about their overtime work today, which is human nature.
Xinhai nodded to the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.
Not long after, a huge round bronze mirror as tall as a person was carried up by two soldiers.
Seeing this thing appear, the witches below couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"This...this is!"
There was one commotion after another, and even Xinhai's previous words could not restrain the miko below.
Nothing else, because the object in front of me is too intimidating.
According to the rules of the shrine, every shrine maiden will make an oath when joining the profession. In order to verify whether the shrine maidens abide by their oaths, the shrine has created a prop that can peek into the color of the soul, which is this huge mirror in front of everyone.
In other words, the moment this mirror appears, it means that one of the witches here may have violated their oath, so the magic mirror detection is needed.
However, unlike what the witches had guessed, Xinhai was now filled with uneasiness.
Because she knew that this mirror had almost no effect on this incident.
Because the oaths taken by the witches sound very strict, but in fact the scope of the restrictions is very small, it is nothing more than the word "loyalty".
And the object is also very clear, it is responsible to the main god whom it serves.
In other words, as long as loyalty to the Lord God is not involved, then this mirror is useless.
The mole incident this time was just an attack on a shrine maiden in the shrine, and it was not a direct blasphemy to the main god. In other words, even if the magic mirror is used to illuminate it, no trace can be found.
Bringing the magic mirror to the stage now is just a show.
The real purpose is to conceal the appearance of the master behind the mirror.
‘That’s it.’
Suddenly, Bai Qiyun's voice sounded in Xinhai's mind, which shocked her.
'Don't panic, it's just a small trick, just leave it to me.'
Bai Qiyun stood alone in the north of the palace, opened up the elemental field's perception to the maximum, and captured all the witches present.
Several familiar faces among them came to his mind one by one.
Since verifying whether the oath has been violated has no effect on this matter, it might as well be to use the oath directly.
Bai Qiyun transformed his power into the pure power of the stars, and struck it on the divine mirror from the air.
In an instant, the divine mirror burst into glory, like a star falling in front of everyone's eyes.
The dazzling light made everyone close their eyes subconsciously.
It's now!
Bai Qiyun used the power of the stars to transport it along the tunnel built by hundreds of contracts that his soul sensed here.
The contract channels like a spider web are contaminated with the power from the gods at this moment.
Bai Qiyun felt that his mind was divided into hundreds of parts at this moment, and he looked at each of the witches present one-on-one.
Suddenly, he spoke, and hundreds of identical voices resounded in the minds of all the witches present, including Coral Palace Xinhai.
'Tell me your whereabouts yesterday.'
At this moment, every miko present felt the tremor in their souls from the bottom of their hearts.
This...this is...the Lord God appearing?!
The witches who had never experienced such a situation followed their instincts and slowly recounted everything that happened yesterday in their minds.
Bai Qiyun accepted hundreds of voices ringing in his mind at the same time.
But for some reason, it was obviously a tortured feeling, but at this moment, it felt like he was listening to the chirping of birds in the forest and the gentle murmur of running water.
In just a few breaths, Bai Qiyun accepted everyone's thoughts, including the self-explanations of the insiders.
What surprised him slightly was that there were actually three witches involved.
Although two of them were accomplices who simply disliked Chao Lu and had no idea of the subsequent actions, the fact that there were three out of a hundred people spoke volumes about the problem.
After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Qiyun severed his soul connection.
The witches in the field looked confused, not knowing what had just happened.
Only the three harmful witches looked uneasy, as if they knew what the shrine wanted to do with such a big battle.
"Well, I understand."
Xinhai received the instructions from Bai Qiyun and said to everyone.
"That's it for today, disband."
As soon as he finished speaking, the witches turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.
But in an unknown place, Orobas' eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, locking on the three people mentioned in the message between Bai Qiyun and Xinhai just now.
The next second, the three people seemed to have been cursed, and their minds suddenly became muddled. They spared everyone and walked towards the back of the shrine like zombies.
"Preparing to close the Internet cafe."
Looking at the three women walking in front of him, Bai Qiyun nodded slightly and told Xinhai beside him.
Xinhai looked at the three witches with complicated eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Bai, what do you plan to do with these three people?"
"The principal offender shall be severely punished, and the accomplices shall be expelled from Haiji Island."
Bai Qiyun looked at the pretty faces of the three people and couldn't help but sigh.
After receiving the memories of several people, he knew why the main culprit took risks. In fact, the answer was very simple, that is, the other party gave too much. She was about to reach the age of retirement. At first, she was just helping the Chamber of Commerce pass some information and help catch him.
The business opportunities are not too great.
But later when the battle came, because she was caught by the Chamber of Commerce, she began to demand the delivery of battle reports.
But now, after the war, she wants to wash her hands in a golden basin, which is simply a fantasy.
It can be said that becoming a sacrificial chess piece was created by her vigorously growing desire.
Although the Chamber of Commerce provided the soil for her corruption, she still had to bear the main responsibility.
The other two accomplices can only be said to have evil intentions and like to do evil things. They are not dead, but it is impossible to continue to be miko. They were expelled from the shrine and stayed on Kaiji Island.
There was almost no other way for them to survive. It was better to kick them out of Haiji Island and maybe find another way to survive.
But with their fresh and pretty faces, I'm afraid they will be harassed more in the rest of their lives.
