Lance didn't expect Neil and Charlie to come, so he was busy saying hello and immediately threw out questions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Neil, Charlie, when are you leaving the mountain city, are you all okay?"

"The rebuilding of the mountain city continues, and Dawn and Vance are staring, but they are a little understaffed. It's really troublesome, I didn't expect there to be an emergency, and then it's going to be hard for a while, to be honest, I really don't want to come, it's not a good errand. Neil saw Lance as soon as he entered, and began to complain after a few words.

"It's not easy, Neil, don't be too lax. Xia Li reminded him and looked around, "Isn't Danica here?" We heard that something happened to her before we came here, is she okay, how is it now?"

"This matter is a long story, and there has been no official result yet, so I can only put it down for the time being. ”

"You've been here for so long, at least remember to send a letter to Yamashiro, that guy Cyrus said there was a life-threatening horror, and this guy was worried all the way. Neil was a little unhappy, and pointed to Xia Li beside him.

"We came in a hurry...... Brother Kozmo said the situation was urgent. ”

"It's really urgent. ”

With so much going on in this time, Lance had a hunch that something even crazier was coming.

If he could, he really wanted to continue to accompany Danica, Danica she was too strong, and with her approach, she would definitely swallow things in her stomach and bear it alone. It's a pity that Lance hasn't had time to ask her anything more, and he hopes that Danica won't have to do anything alone.

Lance was starting to worry about Danica, she hadn't thought of it when she woke up, which made Lance feel annoyed now, if only she had noticed that Danica's behavior was no different from usual. At that time, she didn't even complain, like when nothing happened.

With so many things happening in the mountain town, Lance still remembers Danica's expression at that time.

"By the way, what about Ami?"

Lance didn't want to look worried, so he asked an irrelevant question to divert his attention.

Ami didn't like the meeting and went to talk to the people at the temple. ”

"That's the end of the chatter. ”

Kozmo walked over, and Lance noticed what Kozmo had just said to the others.

"I was just going to ask, Kozmo, who are those people?"

"You'll know later, they might be your companions. ”

"I don't understand...... Somehow they found us, and somehow there were a few strangers. ”

Neil shrugged.

"When exactly will the meeting start?"

"That's right, it's almost time, forget it, don't wait. ”

"Is it finally starting?!"

Neil couldn't wait, he wanted to finish the meeting quickly, he didn't want to waste his time here.

Kotz walked to the middle of the room, and he didn't know which floor he stepped on, and the sound of a bang and the ground shook for a moment, and four one-meter-high stone pillars with balls appeared near the four corners.

"What is this!!"

"Magic Trap?"

"What's going on?"

"Vivian, calm meow!"

"Xia Li, is their reaction a little too exaggerated?"

"No, no, I remember the first time I entered the temple and saw incredible magic, and I was just like them. ”

Everyone reacted differently, and they all quickly calmed down and looked at the true owner of the room.

Kozmo quickly recited a spell, and the balls on the four stone pillars cracked like eggs, revealing four stone sculptures of beast gods, representing the Green Dragon Temple, the Vermilion Bird Temple, the Xuanwu Temple, and the White Tiger Temple.

Seeing this, Neil couldn't help muttering, "It's actually this kind of formation, it hasn't appeared for a long time." ”

“……”

Lance's heart sank slightly when he heard Neil's words.

"Everyone, did you hear that?"

Kozmo was still standing in the center, and the room seemed to have a magical device to amplify sound, and the amplified sound sounded slightly deafening.

"Everyone is here, right?"

The blue dragon stone carving lit up for a moment, and Kozmo immediately said, "There is still one left, I don't want to wait any longer, let's start like this, you all know the people who are with me, the people recommended by Lorog, Neil Charlie and Lance." ”

"So, Piro hasn't come yet?"

The Qinglong stone carving lit up again, this time in another voice, which sounded a little gloomy.

"Eden, Dominic's injuries are almost healed, when will you come back, the Suzaku Temple is too busy here. This time, the Vermilion Bird stone sculpture flickered.

"Edward, do you have a problem with me? Desmond hasn't come back yet, Donnadith refreshes him...... Okay, he's also here, I won't say that he sits in the room all day and just studies and doesn't care about anything, I hold up the entire Qinglong Temple by myself, and what if I borrow Eden for a while. ”

"I have nothing more to say. ”

"It's good that the small talk ends here, the chief shaman on our side is a little tired, so let's make a long story short. Except for those who can't be absent from the Sifang Temple, everyone is basically there. By the way, Kozmo, the kids around you are messed up, and the rookie Dragon Slayer Knight. No matter how much you remember, I'll introduce myself in a general way, my name is Dennis, the Grand Priest of the White Tiger Temple. There is no shortage of people in the White Tiger Temple, except for me, the Knight Captain Dylan and the Shaman Danielle are all there. Now you hear me, Daniel's voice is old, and the one left is Dylan. ”

"In addition, the chief shaman of the Suzaku Temple is Eden, Eden has now run to the Qinglong Temple, it is that very gloomy voice, the chief knight of the Suzaku Temple is called Edward, you also know, the one who did not say anything was the great priest, his name is Duru. ”

"The chief knight of the Xuanwu Temple, Cyrus, you have been in contact, I won't introduce it, the Xuanwu Temple does not have a great priest now, Kozmo, finally...... The chief knight of the Green Dragon Temple is not there, and he is replaced by the younger brother of the chief knight who is coming over here, Piro, by the way, the chief priest of the Green Dragon Temple is Dominic, and the chief shaman is Donnasiu. ”

"It's really troublesome, it's just us, there are a few outsiders in this meeting, what does that guy Lologh think, can the people he introduced really be trusted? I'm Dylan, the chief of the White Tiger Templar who was just mentioned by Dennis. ”

"Ahem...... That's enough, it's time to get started......"

"Thank you, Daniel. ”

After the white tiger stone carving flashed a few times, the green dragon stone carving flashed.

"You're all done, can I interject?"

Neil suddenly spoke, "I'm already impatient with what this meeting is about, so let's start quickly before Ami makes a mess." ”

"Well, we were going to wait for Piro, let's start, Kozmo, you'll be the host, the meeting will officially begin. ”

Dominic of the Blue Dragon Temple said, and Kozmo took over the topic.

"I'm going to start a detailed report on a series of recent events, starting with the Boundless Forest. Thanks to the adventurers recommended by Lolog, we have been able to locate the main stronghold of the Shadow Alliance, which is rumored to be inaccessible to the Boundless Forest. ”

……

…………

………………

The meeting was over, and Lance was shocked by what he had heard in the meeting, and he was deeply shocked, and even after the meeting was over, Lance still stood still, trying to digest it all.

"Are you okay?"

Neil and Charlie stayed, and compared to them, the adventurers led by Samuel were not surprised, and the experience during this time gave them a clear understanding of what kind of people the shadow mages were.

Hearing their call, Lance came back to his senses, only to find that there were only three of them left in the room.

"It's okay, what I just heard is shocking. ”

In the content of the meeting, the main members of the four temples jointly made a decision, and each temple sent a hundred priests, a hundred knights, and a hundred shamans in addition to the Xuanwu Temple, a total of nine hundred people. The Xuanwu Temple had sent a number of people to garrison the Imperial City before the meeting began, in order to search for the shadow mage hiding here and maintain the safety of the city.

The three hundred people of the Green Dragon Temple were led by the chief shaman Donnaxiu, the White Tiger Temple was led by the chief knight Dylan, and the Xuanwu Temple of Kozmo did not participate, along with the people stationed in the imperial city, and the Vermilion Bird Temple was the Grand Priest Dulu.

The target of this operation was the stronghold of the shadow mages in the Boundless Forest, and Lance, along with the others who participated in this meeting, fulfilled the words that Kozmo had said to Neil before the meeting, and that you might be companions, or rather, Kozmo had guessed this outcome from the beginning.

Before the operation began, Lance and the others had three days, after all, it was this kind of formation, from their respective temples to the Boundless Forest, everyone had to be fully prepared. Among the main members of the temple, a few who stayed and did not participate in the action will cast a teleportation magic called void teleportation, find a better place, and prepare a large teleportation array in the same place after teleporting, so that hundreds of people can teleport over one after another, which can save more time.

Of course, there was a certain danger in this operation, and the chief priest and the chief knight would probably take some time to select the personnel involved in the operation.

Neil and Charlie are going to look for Ami, and Lance wants to visit Danica, so they walk out of the conference room together and witness Kozmo talking to a knight he hasn't seen before.

"Piro, you're an hour late, the meeting is over, everyone discussed it just now, you and Neil and they go together to crusade against the shadow mage, you ask them for the rest, it's not convenient to talk more in the corridor, that's the way it is. ”

The knight named Piro nodded, and was very serious, and wanted to say something, when he saw Lance and the others coming.

They each said hello, got to know each other for a while, and then separated.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's the late knight?"

"yes, he rarely shows up, hardly a few times. ”

Neil looked around, and while there was no one, he whispered to Lance.

"The chief knight of the Blue Dragon Temple is often not in the main department, but goes around crusading against the names of the continent's wanted lists, and the top three are shadow mages, this is an internal matter of the temple, don't tell Kozmo that I said it. The one who had just spoken to Kozmo was Desmond's younger brother Piro, and the chief knight of the Blue Dragon Temple had a secret crusade team, and Piro was one of them. ”

"Neil, let's hurry up and find Ami, I'm afraid Ami is going to cause some trouble. Xia Li said sorry, "We'll go see Danica when we find Ami, and we're out of company." ”

Lance parted ways with them in the hallway and returned to the break room where Danica was.

Back in the lounge, Danica fell asleep peacefully, and Lance found a chair and sat down next to Danica.

“…… Hey, how am I supposed to tell you? ”

******

After coming out of the conference room, Samuel and the others were about to go shopping on the street, and on the way to the hall, they saw a priest who was coming towards him followed by a suspicious thing.

"Do you remember Ami, Ami met you five years ago, Ami was so majestic at that time, you shouldn't have forgotten Ami so quickly, right? Otherwise, Ami would be sad, you were a ten-year-old kid at the time, and you were so old in the blink of an eye! I haven't seen you for five years, Ami didn't expect to meet you here, how long will it take for you to become an official priest? Ami knows, every priest has to go to the branch for a year of internship before he has the opportunity to really enter the temple headquarters! Ami can tell Ami anything about the temple and Ami! Ami knows more about the temple than anyone else!"

A sword flying around the priest said a lot of words in just ten seconds, and Samuel and the others who passed by were stunned.

"Ahh

The sword suddenly took a turn and came to Samuel, as if to examine them carefully.

"Ami thinks it's so strange, why did you come out of it? You're not a knight or a priest, why is that? Tell Ami quickly! Are you ......a relative of one of the people inside? Well, Ami thinks it's unlikely, it's really strange!"

“…… This makes one feel how to answer. ”

For the first time, Samuel felt that he was running out of words.

"You...... Could it be the rumored Sword of Light?"

While being looked at by the sword, Ruthma was also looking at the sword, hesitated for a moment, and said a guess.

"That's right, it's Ami, the legendary and famous sword of light Ami!!"

"What a rare smart person, Ami likes you very much! Ami still doesn't know why you're here? Tell Ami why you came out of it? Ami is really curious!"

Ruthma laughed a few times and muttered to herself, this is really overwhelming.

Vivian rubbed his ears and stared at the sword that called himself Ami as curiously as Jima.

"Ami is your name, meow?"

"Of course, Ami is Ami's name!"

"Other Excaliburs have names too?"

"It seems that you have a very good conversation with Ami, that's right, the swords have their own names, Ami's name is Ami, but only Ami's name is so unique! For example, the name of the Sword of Wind is Xiao Feng, the name of the Sword of Water is Xiao Shui, and the name of the Sword of Fire is ......"

"Ami, here you are, I've finally found you. ”

Suddenly, a voice interjected and interrupted Ami.

"I'm sorry Ami has caused you trouble. ”

Coming into sight was a blue-haired and blue-eyed girl who had just met at a meeting, with the boy named Neil.

"Ami, you're really making it easy for us to find. ”

"Neil!Charlie!Ami has finally seen you!How many hours have you been away!Ami really feels lonely!!"

"Don't make this joke, I'm sorry, Ami is this kind of virtue, I can't change it. ”

"That's right...... Although we have just learned your names, we are not officially acquainted yet, so let's go have a bite to eat together for the sake of the future, let's have a treat, Neil. Ami really caused you trouble just now, and it's also to compensate Ami for doing such a rude thing just now, I'm really sorry. ”

"But, Charlie, aren't we going to visit Danica in a moment?"

"Yes, but if you think about it, this time might bother Lance, and I think they need some alone time. ”

"Actually, we were going to go out on the street to buy something, so we accepted it and went to eat something together. ”

"We're going to do that, Neil?"

As soon as Xia Li finished speaking, she heard Ami come to say.

"Ami went out for a walk first!"

"Hey!!Ami !!"

Neil couldn't stop screaming, and his expression was a little depressed.

"Ami, I hope it doesn't cause anything. ”

Xia Li was a little crying and laughing, "Ami is Ami, if this is not the case, Ami is not Ami, don't care about it for now, it is always measured." ”

******

Lance sat and sat beside Danica, looking at her sleeping face, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

“……”

He just wanted to stay with her, stay here, and leave everything else behind for the time being.

Before he knew it, Lance fell asleep in a chair, and after an hour or two of sleep, he was woken up.

"Lance!"

"Huh......?"

Lance opened his eyes and saw that Danica was a little upset.

"When are you back? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"Sorry, but what time is it?"

“…… Is now the time to say something like that?"

Danica rolled her eyes.

Lance got up from his chair, "There are so many things that happened before, I haven't talked to you properly, the people who kidnapped you during the time you disappeared...... Didn't do anything to you, did you?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not the first time this has happened. Danica turned her head, and Lance's heart tightened, and she heard the strangeness of her voice, and she was trying to put the matter on the side.

"Danica, look at me, don't try to hide it, I found you with some injuries when I found you. Lancet walked up to her and grabbed her by the shoulder, not wanting to see her avoid herself.

"I can't help but care, you can not forgive me, it's my fault, if I could have found you earlier, none of this would have happened, it's my fault, obviously I could have found your traces earlier. It doesn't matter how you want to blame me, tell me what they did to you, okay?"

"Don't do that, it's not your responsibility. ”

"No, it's not like that, the responsibility for your disappearance is all on me, it's me who trusted others! Do you remember Neueva? She was a prisoner, she colluded with others for some interests, so she designed us and used me to kidnap you. "This is the biggest mistake I've ever made, if I ...... No, there is no point in saying such hypothetical words now. ”

“…… That's right. ”

Danica nodded calmly, then took a deep breath and raised her voice, "Lance, you're forcing me to recall those bad experiences!"

Before she could finish speaking, she shook off Lance, opened the door and ran out.

"Wait!! Danica !!"
