Juliana’s workshop Chapter 56: The chapel by the sea


   How many days have passed since noon. After more than half a month, Lulunaka’s-it should be said that it was Romiuona’s-team finally left the forest. At this point in time, more than half a month later, he left the eerie forest of the dead.

The carriages of the    convoy filed out of the woods. Julius drove the second carriage in the team. When his carriage followed Lulunaka’s carriage out of the forest, he stretched out his hand and covered his eyes. Although the forest is not dim, but under the cover of dense forest, the light is not enough after all. Now when he walks out of the forest, the sun without the branches and leaves is shining on his face. This sunlight is something that has been missing for more than half a month, and Julius is not used to it for a while, but the light is still mild and does not hurt the eyes.

   Early on, Julius felt vaguely that he was about to get out of this forest. The salty wind and the woods around me that seemed to always be damp were telling myself that I was not far from the beach.

   When he saw the sea, Julius opened his eyes slightly and made a noise in his mouth. Living in an ordinary village, he has never had the opportunity to leave the village and walk so far, let alone the opportunity to see the sea.

   The sea that connects the sky and the earth is presented to Julius. The sky is a blue sky, and the earth is a coast made of sand. Between the two, there is a deep blue sea. There is a horizontal dividing line between the sea and the sky, it looks so close, but so far away, it’s just an illusion that they are closely connected. There is a line between the sea and the sky, which does not invade each other, and between the sea and the earth, there is a fierce offensive and defensive.

   Waves slapped on the edge of the coast one after another. The waves hit the sand tirelessly, forward and backward, and so on. They never stopped. When the sea was slapped and corroded, the coast became The shape of the crescent. Julius has never seen such a view.

   Ward, who was lying on the top of the carriage shed, jumped down, spread his feet on the sand and ran, and he was already running away in the blink of an eye. Except for using a double-headed sword to kill people, it is no different from other dogs.

  The convoy walked between the coast and the jungle, heading north along the coastline. The wheels and hooves of the carriage left traces of lines and dots on the sand.

  Romiona was not the first time to see the sea, and she did not look surprised like Julius. In King’s Castle, the sea is closely united with King’s Castle. To the east of King’s Fort is a slender strait, separated from the Yilan Continent by a barrier that can be crossed by the naked eye; to the north is the Deep Bay, where all ships pass through; to the south is the fierce waves, often bringing endless storms. The sea. Every inhabitant of King’s Castle, whether it is aristocrat or the poor, has breathed sea-like air from birth.

   “We left the forest.” Romyona said, looking back at the road. The convoy left the forest on a completely deserted road. The narrow forest exit looked like a mouth, spitting the convoy to the beach.

   Lulunaka, who was sitting next to Romeo Na, replied: “I finally left the forest.” She sniffed hard, with a happy expression, “After living in the forest for a long time, sometimes she will be The rotten air is accustomed to it, thinking it is normal. But when you leave the forest and breathe in the fresh air, you will immediately forget that ridiculous thought. It is better that the air still flows.”

   “I thought you like to live in the forest.” Romyona said.

   “I don’t like it, but I don’t hate it either.” Lulunaka replied, swinging the whip in her hand and hitting the horse’s **** to make the horse go faster. “Stay here because there is some work to be done. Since it is work, then there is nothing to be faulty. Work is such a thing, many times you can’t just mess around by yourself.”

   “I thought you’ve always lived freely.” Romyona chuckled when she heard Lulunaka’s words. As for what made her laugh because of Lulunaka’s words, then there was only She knew it herself.

  ”At this time, I’m going to return to what you said.” Lulunaka also returned a smile to Romeo Na’s smile. Unlike Romyona’s slightly pale and sentimental smile, her smiling face always carries the warmth of the sun’s radiance. “Neither you nor I are free. This matter will not change due to different identities.”

   “I was restrained because I was too weak, but why did you lose your freedom?” Romeo Na continued, “Is it really because of work, or because of other reasons?”

   “You can guess.” Lulunaka grinned, her white teeth looking shiny.

  While Romyona was talking with Lulunaka, the team kept moving. The sound of wheels turning, the sound of horseshoes rising and falling, and the sound of sea breeze blowing from the sea swept away the conversation between the two of them, led them into the jungle, and disappeared into the dim branches and leaves.

   After a while, the team finally reached the destination Lulunaka said.

   is a cape above the sea.

   This cape is long and sharp, like a sharp knife stabbed into the sea, and never pulled out again. The waves scoured the sharp knife, but it made the blade sharper. The cliffs of the cape have been eroded and corroded by the sea for many years, and they have become smooth and flat. Good knives that are carefully forged are nothing more than that.

   The high promontory is like a knife stuck in the sea; it is also like a ship’s bow, breaking through the waves in the sea–but the ship will never set sail, it will only stay between the land and the sea. It was like a nail that drove the sea and the ground together.

   There is an inconspicuous building on the protruding ship.

   As the convoy approached the cape, Romeo Na had a clear view of the building. It was a chapel, and it was not too big in scale, but it was not too small to be negligible. This chapel has no special features from the outside, probably because it is too long, time has smoothed everything out of it, and it has become what it is now. Everything is blurred, only the fresh vines climbing on the walls are alive. The bricks and tiles of the dome are not the same color. It seems to have been repaired many times so that it can continue to shelter from the wind and rain. The cross that was supposed to be inserted on the top of the building is nowhere to be seen, except for a base, which seems a little unsuitable as a chapel.

   This is a chapel that seems to have been abandoned for a long time, but the details like patches are telling the first time visitors that this place is not abandoned. Someone is maintaining it. Those who are working hard to keep this place from turning into ruins, think they should be the owner of this place.

  The convoy stopped on the open space not far in front of the chapel. When it came to such a close distance, Romeo Na could see the building more clearly. Romeo Na has seen many church buildings in King’s Castle, including the Church of Our Lady, which is famous all over the world, and the common people’s chapel without a name~IndoMTL.com~, but she has never seen such a chapel in front of her. She is not an architectural expert, and she has no unforgettable memories, but vaguely feels that this chapel is different from what she usually sees. But one thing she knew was that this chapel should have existed for a long time, so that it seemed very old.

   At the door of the chapel, a man with his waist was sweeping the floor. When the convoy stopped, the people with their backs to the convoy turned around and faced Lulunaka and the others.

   This is a rickety old man with all white beard and hair. His beard and hair have not been taken care of at all. Let it grow, covering his mouth and chin. The messy hair is just a simple tie. After taking care of it, the bangs on the forehead blocked the position of the eyes, and only those tired eyes could be seen from the gap. This old man is not thin and weak, but has a body shape similar to Olga, but compared to Olga’s straight waist, his unable to straighten waist seems to have been interrupted and can no longer be straightened. .

  When he saw Lulunaka and others, he didn’t appear to be surprised. He just stopped sweeping the floor and put his hands on the handle of the broom.

  Lulunaka jumped from the carriage and walked towards the old man. She walked up to the old man and patted him on the shoulder, “Long time no see, Apo.” She acted like an impolite child to an old man.

   The old man called Apo didn’t respond to Lulunaka’s rude behavior, and Lulunaka still patted him on the shoulder. “Long time no see… Lulunaka.”

   “Thank you for being able to say my name well.” Lulunaka heard the old man’s words and smiled thicker on her face. She lowered her voice and whispered to him, “There are outsiders here. Too casual, right?”
