Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 287 How can you use this to test the cadres?

The beds in Goletia Academy were neither too big nor too small, and neither of the two girls was petite. Now that they were squeezed together, they lay on their sides tacitly, back to back, with different thoughts in their minds.

"Lilith." Even though Catherine was exhausted after a day of sleep, she still couldn't sleep at this moment, so she took the initiative to find a topic, "Have you never participated in the Festival of Lights in Highgarden?"

"Indeed not. Is it any different from other places?" Lilith yawned and asked vaguely.

"Well, before the holy day of High Court arrives, there will be a ceremony of atonement. That day is called the Day of Atonement, which is why believers from all over the world come here." Catherine looked at the wall and said softly. "On that day, the Pope will personally come forward and sacrifice two bulls to the gods."

"Ah?" Lilith responded in a daze. So the God of Light also likes to eat beef?

"The Pope will first sacrifice one of the bulls to atone for the sins of the people. Then he will put his hands on the head of the other bull, indicating that the people's sins for the whole year have been transferred to the other bull. Then he will drive the bull out of the city to exile the sins to another place... This bull will bear all their sins and be exiled to a deserted place..."

"Huh? Let it go?! Kill one? Let the other go? You won't eat a single bite?" Lilith turned around and stared at Catherine's back in shock. How many bowls of braised beef noodles were there? Just let it go like that? And why did they think Niu Niu could bear the sins of a whole city for a year?

"...You also find it ridiculous, don't you? But when this atonement ceremony is over, that's when the believers' cheers are the most enthusiastic." Catherine looked at the wall and whispered.

...Nerve! Lilith wanted to roll her eyes at the God of Light.

"I once hesitated, Lilith. If these things disappeared, would the world fall into chaos? But you woke me up... Actually, that won't happen, right?"

"Well, that's what I think." Lilith didn't dare to make a complete guarantee, but she still bravely expressed her thoughts.

"The Gaia Empire is not the origin of this continent, is it? Many ancient civilizations have violence, exploitation and oppression. Wasn't Queen Zora also born a slave? But no matter how unfair those civilizations are, they still believe that their system is a civilization. If their system destroys the world, it will be over. But our existence today has proved them wrong.

When one system is destroyed, thousands of different systems will emerge. From a slave, we become a farmer, from a farmer, to a soldier, and finally to a worker. In the next breakthrough, society will return to a distant equality, so..."

She squeezed closer and hugged the cold princess from behind, "Go ahead, Catherine. If everything now makes you angry, just remember this anger. You can't be less forgiving than the gods."

Yes, she felt Catherine's anger that had nowhere to vent when she returned on the rainy night, even though her surface seemed as calm as a deep pool.

"...You're so warm, Lilith, is this the temperature of dragon's blood?" Perhaps because of the heat transmitted from Lilith, Catherine finally had the energy to make a joke.

"Hehe, are you jealous?" Lilith did not refute, but became proud. She pressed against Catherine's cold calves and generously used the temperature of her body to warm her.

"Canion may come over in a few days. He... you know, he has always had a fanatical love for alien magical creatures. You don't have to worry about me and just tell him to get lost." Catherine thought of her brother and had no choice but to give Lilith a heads-up in advance.

"It's okay. I think Kanien is easy to get along with." Lilith didn't feel offended by being treated as an alien creature. She yawned again and patted her friend in front of her like she was coaxing a baby. "Go to bed, Catherine. You have classes tomorrow morning..."

"You can't think like that just because you're my friend, Lilith..." Catherine never turned around. She stared at the wall in front of her, where Lilith had pasted a map as a decoration. It was full of her soliloquies and holiday plans, as well as some cute doodles.

"If possible, don't get close to anyone from the Bishop family... There are too many crazy people in this family..."

"How can you say that about your own family?" Lilith gradually couldn't open her eyes, and she was still patting Catherine gently with her hands. "I really can't take it anymore, go to bed quickly, or it will be dawn soon..."

Not long after, Catherine heard heavy breathing behind her. Lilith fell asleep...

Catherine listened quietly to the sounds around her in the dim candlelight. She didn't know whether the sound of rain outside the window was too soothing or Lilith's breathing made her feel safe. Catherine, who thought she would have no sleep tonight, fell asleep not long after and had a dreamless night.

…………

Catherine's prediction was correct. On the next weekend, Kanien came to Goletia College again, with Leila's dark face, and got close to Lilith.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Canion. What you are wearing today is really... very special!" Lilith looked up and down at Canion's gorgeous attire and praised him politely.

Dragons really like gold!

——Kane, whose body was covered in gold thread, was so excited that his eyes sparkled. He had made the right bet! Lilith really liked it this way!

"Hey, Lilith, I, I brought you a gift..." After being secretly delighted, Canion opened the gift boxes one after another as if he was presenting a treasure, regardless of the curious gazes of the others in the Rose Building. In an instant, the room was filled with golden light.

"Uh..." Lilith didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really thought of himself as an animal driven by instinct. "Thank you, but this is too expensive. I can't accept it."

"Yes, yes! These things are indeed not worthy of your beauty, but time is short, so I can only prepare these. Oh! There is one more!" He suddenly remembered and carefully took out a bag from his arms. With a light tap, a glittering sapphire slid into his palm. "What about this? Do you like it?"

Tsk, how can you use this to test a cadre?! Lilith secretly complained, and at the same time, she was attracted by the beautiful light and couldn't take her eyes away. In her previous life, she had only seen such a big sapphire in a foreign movie!

"I knew you would like it!" As soon as Kanyon saw Lilith's expression, he immediately smiled and stuffed the sapphire into Lilith's hand. The people around him were shocked by his act of spending a lot of money to win the smile of a beautiful woman, and the discussion became louder.

"...Get out of here." Catherine's veins popped out of her body. She went up to grab Canion, who had a silly smile on his face, and rushed out, but she bumped into someone who walked into the Rose Building.

"Ouch! Who is that?" Kanyon was hit hard on the chest by a head. He hissed in pain and lowered his head - wow! It was another pink head!

The owner of the pink head stared blankly at Catherine in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Catherine, they say, they all say..."

Catherine looked at the girl in front of her, speechless. Anqi was already sobbing, and her voice attracted everyone. Lilith also came over to join in the fun, and heard Anqi crying heartbreakingly and shouting -

"They all say that His Highness Nerer and Neva are dead!"
