"Neil, what's the matter? "Little Charlie?" Neil went out to prepare for a trip to the cafeteria, and met several knights on the way, and it was strange to see Neil alone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Uncomfortable?"

Neil did not mention the real reason, and said to the knights: "It seems so, I am now going to go to the canteen to get a piece of food." ”

"It just so happens that we're going there too, let's go together. Several knights invited Neil to come with them, and by the way, the two children Neil and Xia Li have recently become a topic of discussion in the temple, and some people at the bottom deliberately speculate whether Neil's identity is the illegitimate son of the chief knight or the high priest?

In fact, some people think it's impossible, as the deputy of the knight chief Dylan, the short knight named Joel, heard this rumor and immediately denied it, not to mention that Dylan has always been addicted to gambling in the temple and basically doesn't go out, not to mention, the private affairs of the knight chief priest should not be discussed in the first place.

If one day this rumor reaches the ears of the chief knight or the high priest, it will be strange that this temple will not be in turmoil.

On the way to the refectory, the knights asked about Neil's life in front of the temple.

"You're from Shenge Harbor, aren't you? Were you born there? I've been there once, and every summer, the seaside scenery is quite beautiful, and the most memorable thing is the way the people swim in the sea. ”

"Every summer, there are indeed a lot of aquarists on the beach, and I have only been to the beach twice during the festival, and some of the aquarium dialects I don't understand very well, so it's basically difficult to communicate. ”

There are many aquarists living in Shenge Harbor, and for the first time on the street, he met those aquarists whose complexion and hair color are slightly different from ordinary people, and Neil had a preliminary understanding of the concept of aquarium.

"However, the Aqua people have beautiful voices, and they are born to be excellent bards. Neil was pleased to say that sometimes there would be bards in the harbor, and the bards would bring them many wonderful stories from all over the world, and when they told the stories, their beautiful guttural voices were not lost to the Aquarium people at all, and when they told the story, even if it was a familiar and ordinary story, they could tell it very movingly.

When Neil lived in the harbor, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw the bard in the street.

******

Half an hour later, Neil returned with a dinner and entered the room to see that Charlie was still sleeping.

"Get up, Charlie, I've brought your dinner back, hurry up and eat, don't forget to take medicine later." ”

“…… I know. Xia Li nestled in the quilt sullenly, and it took two or three minutes before she slowly got up and walked out of bed.

"Xia Li, I'll go to find Uncle Dennis after eight o'clock, and now I'm going to go to the library to find books for class, what books do you like to read? I'll bring you a book. ”

Xia Li sat on a chair and opened the lunch box, looking at the food inside, and she listened to Neil's words as she scooped spoon by spoon to her mouth.

Xia Li chewed twice, swallowed, put down the spoon, looked at Neil and said, "Hmm...... Books about the temple should not be too boring, and it would be best if there was a book dedicated to the history of the temple. ”

"It seems a bit troublesome, I'll help you find it! I don't know if I can find it!" Neil scratched his hair, showing some embarrassment, but did not refuse. Neil came to the door, opened the door, walked out, and before he was about to close the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Xia Li, don't forget to take your medicine." ”

"I won't forget. Xia Li hurriedly said, waving his hand to let Neil leave quickly.

“…… It's the first time I've noticed Neil so nagging. After the door closed, Xia Li muttered to herself.

Neil came to the door of the temple's library, and there was a long table to the left of the door, behind which stood a bespectacled shaman, who seemed to be older than the knight Dylan and the archpriest Dennis, with a serious and serious look. The shaman looked over after Neil came in, causing Neil to flinch a little, this person felt terrible.

Now that he was here, it was impossible for him to run away for fear of his gaze, and Neil tried to speak to him.

"Hey...... Hey, my name is Neil, I'm here to find some books, Uncle Shaman. ”

“……”

The shaman did not speak, but immediately turned away, as if looking for something, and when he turned again, he took a piece of paper and a pen.

"What books are you looking for?"

"I want to think about it...... Uncle Dennis...... Tell me the books I'm looking for......" Neil didn't want to look directly into the shaman's terrible gaze, he took out the name of the high priest, and turned his head to look at the bookshelf next to him, the top of the brown-gray bookshelf had been cut off on both sides, and where the cut had been cut out hung a wooden moon.

Neil thought to himself that these bookshelves were really strange designs.

Neil turned his head, "The books on medicinal herbs are said to be a few books used by the newcomers to the priesthood to learn about medicinal herbs. ”

“……”

The shaman bowed his head in silence and wrote a few lines on the paper.

Seeing him put away the piece of paper, Neil quickly cried out, "Wait, there's another one, Uncle Shaman! There should be a book related to the temple here, is there any interesting history of the temple? ”

"You don't have that permission. ”

The shaman pointed in a direction and said to Neil, "The book you want to borrow is there, and the place where you go up the second staircase is not mine." ”

Neil's face became shocked as he looked in the direction the shaman was pointing, the second floor of the library that the shaman was talking about was the end of a staircase that ran upward, and there were no bookcases. Neil saw the books scatter in a mess, floating in the air, remaining suspended and not falling.

"How do I get up to the second floor?"

"Find your Uncle Dennis. There was a hint of mockery on the shaman's lips, and his gaze expressed a kind of contempt, which made Neil speechless, and silently stepped back, "Uh......"

Neil thought that everyone in the temple was kind, and he had never been good at dealing with such people, and this time he actually ran into a wall.

The second floor was not a place for him to go up, Neil thought to himself, if he didn't know magic, he wouldn't be able to easily access the floating books. Neil could only dispel this thought, and a feeling of guilt rose in his heart, after all, he had made a promise to her, and in the end, he actually didn't do it.

The shaman walked deeper into the rows of bookshelves with the paper, and Neil hesitated to follow. Not to mention that he couldn't get the book on it, there were some words that were too esoteric that Neil hadn't recognized yet, and more importantly, Neil didn't want to be scorned again, so he had to stand still.

Neil looked in the direction of the bookshelf and noticed the light on the shelf, with a slight surprise on his face.

"It turns out that the wooden moon still shines. ”

Uncle Shaman walked over, I don't know what he did, because his back was to Neil, so Neil didn't see his face. As soon as the terrible shaman-uncle walked over, the wooden moon decoration on the top of the bookshelf shone brightly like a candlelight.

The glowing moon is not visible at all, as if it has become a real moon.

"It must be magic. ”

"Even if it's not magic, it's a magic prop or something. ”

"It's incredible, if I can use magic too, if I learn magic......" Neil began to find it quite interesting to magic.

If you learn magic yourself and be able to use it, you may be able to fly freely in the sky, or breathe freely in the water, and do things that ordinary people can't do.

"By the way, uncle, he used to be a priest, he can use magic, why doesn't he use magic now?"

Neil couldn't understand, "Uncle never told me about magic, and always let me learn boring herb knowledge, which is too disappointing." ”

Although Neil complained about Baker, at the end of the day, he understood one thing, the uncle never told him about the temple and magic, he didn't know what the uncle was thinking, and he didn't know what the uncle wanted to do, including the reason why he and Xia Li were thrown into the temple.

After thinking about it for a while, Neil couldn't think of it, so he had to be discouraged.

"Forget it, when you see your uncle again, you must ask for clarification. ”

Neil muttered to himself, when a voice suddenly came from behind him, and Neil couldn't help but startle, and looked back to see Uncle Shaman with a terrible face.

"Let's check these books. ”

The terrible shaman threw the book to Neil and returned to the long table.

"Ah, the Illustrated Book of Medicinal Herbs, and the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs, these are the right books, thank you, uncle. "This shaman is terrible, and it is still necessary to thank you after helping.

Neil walked out of the library with the book in his arms, and when he closed the door to the library, Neil felt a sense of relief.

"Finally I don't have to look at that horrible face anymore. ”

"Go back, go back!"

Neil walked a few steps, remembering that he hadn't been able to find the book Xia Li wanted to read, and his expression suddenly darkened a little.

"If you can't find it, Xia Li will be disappointed......"

"What should I do? I can't just go back. ”

Neil walked forward with a distressed expression, struggling with how to solve the problem, not noticing where he was going, and when he could react, he saw several familiar faces in the hallway.

"Aesop, Lord Dylan is too much! It's too much!" the short knight Joel complained to the knight next to him, and he looked like he was about to cry, which made people feel unbearable.

"I'm still going on patrol, so I'll go first. ”

"Don't go yet, won't you help me? I haven't even eaten dinner yet, Lord Dylan, he wants to starve me to death, he doesn't even give me time to eat, and throws me a lot of paperwork as soon as we meet! I have to rush back and move them to the dormitory, otherwise I won't be able to finish all night today, ah, I only slept for two hours yesterday, will I break the record today?" Knight Joel recounted his painful experience with tears and snot, and Isolt next to him showed a mixed expression.

“……”

That's when Isolt saw Neil and ran towards him with her feet up.

"I saw Neil, I'm sorry, Joel, I really can't help you with the paperwork, I have something to do with Neil, so I left first. ”

"Hey, Isolt, are you like that?"

"Woo...... Mistress Dylan is just too much......"
