My Swap Life Game

Chapter 5 The Goddess is Watching You

Catherine was about to say something but stopped herself. Anne covered her face with her hands again, as if she was too embarrassed to face anyone. She sobbed and said with her rosy lips, "He must have seen it, he must have! I saw his, and he must have seen mine too... Goddess, how could such an embarrassing thing happen?"

Catherine's lips curled up. This was Anne. Miss Anne, who had been acting strangely all day, finally changed back to normal.

"Miss Anne, what are you talking about?" Catherine tried to look at the paper in her hand, but Anne quickly moved it away and didn't let her see it.

"Listen, Catherine!"

Anne held her shoulders with both hands, her face serious. "I encountered a very! Very strange thing today!"

When Anne said "very, very", her expression was vivid and funny. Her personal maid almost laughed at her and asked her: "Dear Anne, you have been very strange today, so please don't say any more strange things, okay?"

Annie asked hurriedly: "He... No, why am I weird today?"

Catherine first asked: "Why do you suddenly not know magic?"

"No magic? Oh, he doesn't know how to do it!"

Anne looked proud. "It seems that there is no magic in his world, at least not in his. I almost fell down when I got out of bed. My body was so weak that I was tired even when I walked! By the way, he didn't have a maid to take care of him. I dressed myself today. Catherine, praise me!"

Catherine looked at her in confusion, and Anne quickly closed her mouth, chuckled, and then urged her to continue talking about why "herself" was acting strange today.

Catherine confirmed that the person in front of her was Anne, so after telling her roughly what happened to her today, she asked her seriously: "Miss Anne, did you have a conversation with an unknown evil spirit?"

"He asked you to change clothes with his eyes closed? Hehe."

Annie was focusing on something else. She burst out laughing, and the expression on her pretty face became even cuter.

But suddenly she remembered something and hurriedly said to her maid, "Don't tell my father and mother what I did today or what I just said!"

"Ok?"

"I need to go to church!"

"Now?" Catherine glanced out the window and shook her head. "It's past evening prayer time now."

"Right now, go and help me prepare the carriage. Ah, I still need to take a shower and change clothes, and then go to the church to pray to the goddess!"

Anne made the decision and Catherine could not refuse. She waved to several maids and asked them to prepare hot water, perfume, clothes, etc. for bathing, and then told her ladyship that Miss Anne was going to church.

After a commotion in the castle.

Anne rode in a luxurious carriage, escorted by a team of knights, and under the watchful eye of the tower wizard Phyllis, she went to the largest Temple of the Goddess of Holy Light in the North near the castle, and met Bishop Fergus.

"Good evening, Miss Anne."

Fergus greeted her with a smile, and Anne returned the greeting, then said impatiently, "Uncle Fergus, I want to pray to the goddess!"

Without waiting for Fergus to ask, Anne said half coquettishly: "Today I encountered a very incredible thing. I need to pray to the goddess and ask her to respond. Uncle Fergus, please help me!"

Anne came to the church so late at night, escorted by family knights, and must have had permission from the Duke or Duchess.

Fergus looked at her carefully, nodded after a while and said, "It seems that our Anne has indeed encountered a great event, so she came to the temple at night to pray for the goddess's mercy. Well, come with me, I will take you into the temple and prepare the ceremony for you."

"Thanks, Uncle Fergus!"

Anne followed happily.

Following Bishop Fergus's order, many clergymen from the Holy Light Goddess Temple gathered in the sanctuary, looking at Miss Anne Weisz Swinton kneeling under the statue of the goddess, curious about why she came to pray to the goddess at night. Praying with rituals is completely different from daily prayers. The former requires the bishop to perform rituals for the praying in the church, and the believers pray for the goddess to respond, bless, or dispel the curse.

Even Anne, the daughter of the Duke, was only blessed by the goddess once when she was born.

The Northern Holy Light Church has not held a formal prayer ceremony in the past two years, but today, Anne, the daughter of the Duke of Swinton, came to the temple after nightfall to pray to the goddess and ask for her response.

Under the gaze of everyone and Catherine, Anne knelt before the statue of the goddess and recited a prayer:

"Great goddess, your light shines across the north, dispels the cold, and drives away evil...

Your believer, Anne Weisz Swinton, offers you her faithful faith and tells you one thing, begging for your response.

The thing is this: I went to a magical place today, it is called Earth, there are 8 billion people in the world, my soul was exchanged with a man named Lu Xing..."

After reciting the prayer, Anne began to babble about the miraculous things that happened to her today. She even talked about the time when she pulled open Lu Xing's pants to take a few glances and was stunned.

Inside the temple, in front of the statue of the goddess.

A group of godfathers, priests, nuns, and maids from Swindon Castle were all praying in low voices and did not hear what Anne said.

After a long while, Annie finally finished.

But there was no response from the goddess statue.

Anne looked back and saw Fergus shaking his head. “The goddess heard your prayers tonight, but she doesn’t always respond to the prayers of her believers.”

Annie was full of disappointment, but she soon figured it out and said with a smile: "It's good that the goddess heard it. Even if there is no response, I——"

Before she finished her words, the next moment, the holy goddess statue burst into a ray of light, and two illusory angels appeared in front of the statue, holding a ball of light together. Under the shocked gaze of Fergus and others, the angels sang ethereal songs and sent the ball of light into Anne's forehead and merged it into her body.

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

Bishop Fergus was the first to react, shouting in an excited and loud voice: "The goddess is watching Anne!"

Then everyone came to their senses and excitedly knelt down in front of the glowing statue of the goddess, singing hymns, sending the angel away, and offering their faith to the goddess.

The entire Northern Temple was alarmed. The light emitted by the church attracted the attention of countless people in the city. The tower wizard Phyllis went up the tower for the first time in a long time and stared at the Church of the Goddess of Holy Light from a distance.

When Anne walked out of the church, many church knights and ascetics who had heard the news saluted her and watched her leave respectfully.

The goddess is watching Miss Anne!

……

Lu Xing returned to Earth.

The first thing he did was to look for the piece of paper on the table where he had written "My name is Lu Xing".

Sure enough, there was another piece of paper. She saw it and left her message.

Lu Xing raised his eyebrows. This was his first time talking to a traveler from another world. There were actually two versions of the text: one was Chinese characters, and the other was the language of the magical world.

Through her own body, she also learned Chinese characters!
Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh and looked down at the content:
"Hello, Mr. Lu Xing, my name is Anne Weisz Swinton, and I come from a continent favored by the gods - this is what the ancient elves called the world."
