Starting from the White Tiger Temple in the west, passing through several towns along the way, until leaving the Rodi Pava Empire, Neil and Xia Li spent nearly nine days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For nine days, they kept hurrying.

Neil even complained, "Those two uncles are really, wouldn't it be better to let us go directly through the teleportation array to the Vermilion Bird Temple?"

"Neil, don't say that, it's wonderful for us to see the scenery along the way. ”

"I can't stand it, I don't want to sleep anymore in the carriage. ”

"Then read a book, shall we?"

"I'm different from you, I don't have a story about words?"

"Oh, Ami's master is bored, so Ami will play the role of a mother, how about telling the master a bedtime story?"

"Don't!"

"Then change Xiao Xia Li to tell you a story?"

"I'd rather sleep that way!"

"If you sleep too much, you'll get a headache!"

“……”

Leaving the borders of the Rodi Pava Empire and entering the territory of the El Empire, the carriage headed south, and it took several more days along the way to finally reach the Suzaku Temple in the Temple of the Four Directions.

When the slowly floating clouds in the sky were just obscuring the sun, the carriage they were riding in came to the entrance of the Suzaku Temple, and after jumping out of the carriage, they paid for the carriage before walking towards the magnificent gate of the Suzaku Temple.

They walked up the stairs, and one step faster than them was a snow-white sword.

"Ami is back!"

The snow-white sword sprinted forward, as if faster than the speed of sound, and the two knights guarding the door of the Suzaku Temple did not catch its movements, only felt a gust of wind blowing across their cheeks, as if something else flashed, and it was difficult to see what it was.

"Ami always runs so fast. ”

Xia Li expressed her emotion to Neil, who looked ahead and shrugged his shoulders, "Xia Li, I have heard this sentence many times. ”

Xia Li turned her head and smiled, "There are some similarities in you, do you want me to tell them?" ”

"I don't want to know at all, let's go, those two guys at the door seem to be new faces, I don't know if they know us, let's save some saliva and explain to them!"

"Wait for me!Neil!" Seeing Neil running up the stairs first, Xia Li hurriedly shouted and quickened her pace to catch up.

After entering the gate of the Suzaku Temple, it took a little time to enter, and after actually entering, Neil and Xia Li found the person they were looking for at once, and it should be said that they didn't need to ask around for those names.

The two of them stood in the antechamber of the temple, and before they could turn around, they heard Ami's voice.

Looking for the voice, they saw Ami coming with two men.

"Ami!"

"Both of them. ”

The two people who came with Ami, the sword of light, were none other than Edward, the chief knight of this Suzaku Temple, and Duru, the great priest.

"Uncle Edward, Uncle Durroux. Xia Li greeted them in a respectful tone.

"Two uncles, I haven't seen you for a while, and you're a lot older!" Neil was unceremonious, and Duru stared at Neil, frowning slightly. As for Edward, he suddenly disappeared in front of him, and in a flash, he came to Neil's back, and the moment Neil turned his head, Edward stretched out his left hand and tore a few hairs from Neil's head.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, a little ghost, and I want to grab a few of them to see how much longer they are than last time? I haven't seen you for a while, your little ghost's hair hasn't grown at all, if you become bald, won't you become a bald head for a lifetime? The bareheaded dragon slayer knight must be quite interesting. You think so, right?

"Neil!"

Xia Li watched the scene happen in the blink of an eye, and then reacted, and shouted at Neil, "You haven't forgotten that we're here......, haven't you?

"It's okay, it's a public place, come with us first. As he spoke, Durroux led them inside.

Neil and Charlie followed behind Duru, and the chief knight Edward was behind the two children, whispering to the Sword of Light.

"Edward, Edward, Has Pyro been here lately? Those brothers are always rare! Ami has been missing them since they came here!"

"Ami, why don't you ask me?"

"But you're not the type Ami likes~!"

"I don't mean type, even if it is, don't give it to me. Ami, the Temple of the Four Directions obviously has so many people with light talents, and you would rather pick such a foul bad breath imp than be my partner?"

"This is a very profound question, and Ami can't answer it for the time being!"

"What's so good about this bad breath little ghost?"

"Actually, he's very cute at this point! Ami's master's straightforwardness is quite interesting!"

Suddenly, Neil, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head suddenly, and shouted what seemed to be a roar.

"I heard it all! The old uncle is really the old uncle, saying these inexplicable things behind his back!"

"New words, old man. ”

“…… Forget it, I don't care about you. Edward shrugged his shoulders, pretending that nothing had happened, and strode past Neil and walked over to Durlu, walking side by side with Durru.

Duru smiled lightly, as if talking to himself, and let out a small voice: "You actually enjoy it." ”

They came to a stop at a door, and Duru was the first to enter, followed by Edward, then Neil and Charlie, and the Sword of Light. When Neil entered, he looked around and saw that it was a small conference room.

"Haven't you seen this room!

"This used to be a utility room, but in recent months, some new people have been recruited to come in, and there are not enough rooms in the dormitory, so the utility room was converted into a conference room, and the original conference room became a room, and the current utility room is in the area behind the temple. ”

"There won't be enough space for the temple. ”

"Alright, now that we're here, you should explain why you're here, and we haven't been notified that the Dragon Slayer Knight will be coming to the temple, Neil, Charlie, what's the matter with you?" Duru and Edward sat down at the front of the conference table and looked at the two children together.

Neil and Charlie also sat down in turn, and when they heard this, Neil turned his head to Charlie and muttered, "It's good that the gloomy shaman didn't come." ”

"It's a little unsettling, after all, this kind of thing has to be decided by the three of them together......" Xia Li stuck out her tongue, she looked at Neil, but Neil turned his head to the side, as if he didn't see anything.

Xia Li sighed slightly in her heart, looked up at Edward and Duru, and plucked up the courage to say the reason for this.

"That's the way it is...... We're here to apply for benefits......"

Edward and Durru glanced at each other, and both of them smiled, and Edward looked at each other with a smile on his face.

"If you heard me correctly, the place where the disaster occurred was not the El Empire, right? It was the business of the country of Jiainlut, and the closest thing to there was the Xuanwu Temple, right?" Neil and Xia Li had no reason to separate the Xuanwu Temple and the White Tiger Temple, and deliberately came to the Vermilion Bird Temple.

"Because...... The funds prepared by the Xuanwu Temple are not enough, the loss of that mountain city needs 200,000 relief funds, we have exhausted all methods, and the Xuanwu Temple can only provide 50,000 relief funds......" After thinking about it for a while, Xia Li felt that she had no way to hide them, and it was impossible to fool the past, so she had to tell part of the truth.

"200,000, 50,000, no matter how bad the disaster is, our Sifang Temple has to feed so many people every year, and it is impossible to come up with 200,000 gold coins at once. Edward could only shake his head.

"Don't say that, Uncle Edward, we really need your help. ”

"One more thing, little Charlie. Du Lu thought for a moment, "Even if the Xuanwu Temple can only provide 50,000, regardless of your relationship with those guys from the White Tiger Temple, they will help you to some extent, right?"

“…… Uh, can I say that's the problem......" Xia Li felt that even cold sweat came out of her body, and Neil was still silent, as if he really wanted to push everything to himself. Moreover, Uncle Durroux immediately hit the most critical point of the problem, how could she go on?

Looking at Xia Li's expression, Duru glanced at Neil again.

"Neil, haven't you said a word since then?"

Now that the master doesn't say it, isn't it Ami's turn to say it?!"

"Ami, don't make trouble. Xia Li gave Ami a look and motioned for it not to speak.

“…… I seem to understand something, if that's the case, for this 200,000 relief money, you two little devils are really hard, and they are cunning enough!" Edward said as he stood up and began to walk out, "I'll leave this matter to you first, I'll go and bring Eden here, how can this kind of thing be without him!"

"That's right, the matter of the relief money must be agreed by the three of us, Edward, you go and come back quickly. ”

After Edward left, there were only three people left in the conference room and a sword floating in the air.

"I want to hear what you really think, your intention is to get relief money from the four temples separately, right? If Edward and I are not mistaken, you have already received a total of 100,000 relief money from the Xuanwu Temple and the White Tiger Temple, and the only ones left are the Vermilion Bird Temple and the Blue Dragon Temple?"

"I just made the situation in that mountain city very clear, Uncle Duru, can this matter be passed?"

"I'm not sure, at least I'll have to wait for Eden to come over, Eden is in charge of fifty percent of the financial power of the Vermilion Bird Temple, and Edward and I can only manage twenty-five percent, and only Eden can really make decisions. With his character, you'd better not get your hopes up. ”
