After arriving at Baker's house at about five o'clock in the morning and identifying himself as a mercenary, the mercenary walked out into the street with Neil and Charlie. The www.biquge.info sky was not yet dawn, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and at the end of the road, Neil saw a pitch-black shadow, as if a terrible monster would appear there, and once he stepped in, he would be devoured.

The mercenary didn't have the extra heart to care about the scared mood of the two imps, and took Neil and Xia Li to a carriage, Neil and Xia Li glanced at each other, stretched out their hands to grab each other, and jumped into the carriage. It seems that the mercenary had the carriage ready, everything ready, and ready to leave before they came here.

In the carriage, Xia Li's mood was a little apprehensive, and the sky she saw outside was pitch black.

The road ahead was uneven, and the carriage was bumpy along the way.

"Don't worry, Xia Li, you can sleep for a while now, and I will wake you up when I arrive. ”

"Hmmm......"

"By the way, you don't feel any discomfort now, the bowl of medicine didn't come out in time when you went out, and the medicine residue was wasted. ”

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you eat less, I'll sleep first, I'm still very sleepy when I wake up so early. Charlie accepted Neil's concern, and she quickly closed her eyes and rested in the bumpy carriage.

"......" Neil fell silent, in order not to affect Xia Li, he also quietly found a place to sit down, he watched Xia Li fall asleep quickly, she was too sleepy.

Neil stared at Xia Li and sighed in his heart, suddenly encountering this kind of thing, he couldn't avoid sleepiness and dozing, but now he couldn't really fall asleep, and the mental and physical tiredness disappeared completely.

It's good that I can sleep so soundly on such a bumpy road.

Neil couldn't help but think crankily in his heart, thinking about Baker's affairs, thinking about the decisions Baker had made for them, thinking about the place he was going to go next, the rumored Temple of the Quadripart?

Either way, Neil's heart couldn't calm down.

Neil kept his eyes on the carriage he was in, it was so far from the aristocratic carriage he had ever seen, it had no comfortable cushions, no ornate decorations, even the outside of the carriage, it could not withstand the bumps of the road.

Neil thought about it, and in fact he quickly got bored, and occasionally opened the window to look outside, and found that the sky had lit up, and outside the window was a strange and monotonous scene, not particularly pretty.

“……”

In this way, Neil was also bored and confused on the way of the carriage, so he simply passed the time by sleeping, closing his eyes like Xia Li, and trying to fall into a dream.

I don't know how long later, the carriage that Neil and Xia Li were riding suddenly braked suddenly, and Neil was so inertial that his head hit the wall next to the carriage door and fell out a few centimeters, which was very thrilling.

At that moment, Neil woke up frightened, and before waking up, he had a dream similar to falling from a height, and seemed to hear Xia Li's call.

"Neil!"

The moment he opened his eyes, Neil was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out, and his feet somehow stuck out of the carriage, but fortunately Xia Li pulled him in time.

"This, this!"

"It's okay. ”

Neil reacted to what was happening, and he couldn't help but curse.

"What the hell is going on, why did the carriage stop?!"

Xia Li comforted Neil in time and explained: "You were sleeping very well just now, and Mr. Mercenary greeted us outside and told us that we were almost at the temple, but you didn't hear it. ”

"Arrived?so soon?"

“…… Neil, you've been sleeping for ten hours, and it's night. ”

"Ten hours?"

"I've called you several times, but you never got up, and you slept very deeply. ”

At this time, the mercenary who stopped the carriage and calmed the gray horse in front of him with fodder, and after finishing the work at hand, the mercenary walked over to them and said to Neil: "The temple has arrived, and you sign your name on it, which means that my escort work has been completed." ”

"Do all mercenaries who complete the mission need to go through this procedure?" asked Xia Li.

The mercenary lifted his chin and gave a brief answer, then stared at Neil until Neil signed his name, and the task was completed.

"After the task is completed, I will leave first, and someone will pick you up next, and you two can just enter the temple directly. After dropping these words, the mercenary returned to the side of the carriage, jumped into the carriage, sat in the driver's seat, and drove the carriage away.

The carriage turned a corner, leaving traces of wheels on the road, and then gradually disappeared at the end of the road, disappearing from view.

He seemed to be in a hurry, and immediately walked away. In this empty ground, it seemed that only she and Neil were left alone, and Xia Li couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.

"Charlie, where we're going now, right?" Neil pointed to a building not far away.

Charlie stood behind Neil, and turned her head to see where Neil was pointing, and not far from them there was a magnificent building that looked like a palace, and there were many windows in the building, and each window shone brightly, guiding them like stars, and that was the only destination.

Neil and Charlie also noticed that there was a long staircase below the temple, but luckily the moonlight poured on it, so it wasn't too dark.

"Let's go, Charlie. Neil said to Charlie, taking the lead and walking in the direction of the temple.

“…… Neil. Xia Li hesitated, took a few steps and stopped, refusing to continue walking.

"Can't walk, not feeling well?" Neil turned his head and glanced at Xia Li suspiciously.

"How can you move?"

Neil said to Xia Li, "It's okay, let's walk for a while and rest for a while, and we will definitely be able to pass." ”

"It's not just this question, it's too dark over there......" Xia Li looked like she was about to stop, and finally, as if after some struggle, she lowered her head slightly and stretched out her right hand to Neil, "Neil...... Yes, no, please, can you hold me?"

Neil shrugged, not understanding why Xia Li was so abrasive, he wanted to enter the temple quickly, and simply took the other party's hand neatly, "Let's go together!"

"The boy is so bold, and he is not afraid of the dark at all. ”

"Afraid of the dark?"

"Aren't you afraid of the dark at night when you're alone?"

"Alone, not alone, at night, the uncle never goes out. ”

"Mr. Baker?"

"What a strange idea you have. ”

“…… I'm used to being alone. Xia Li suddenly lowered her voice and said that she had made an agreement with her father that when her father was not at home, she must also be an obedient and good child, not willful or noisy.

Xia Li misses her father, she has only received letters from her father in the past six months, and she has never seen her father visit her, she doesn't know what happened to her father now, she doesn't know what happened to her father at all, her father's face in her memory seems to have become blurry, and when she suddenly noticed this fact, Xia Li felt scared.

Xia Li was afraid that she would really forget her father, so she tried to ask Baker to write back to her father, hoping that his father would come back to see her soon.

"Why did Mr. Baker ask someone to bring us to the temple?" Thinking of his father, he remembered the bitter and tangled mood, and in order to get rid of this bitter thought, Xia Li suddenly changed the subject.

"I don't know, that's what I want to know the most. ”

"You don't know, do you?"

"What the hell is going on? I've been feeling weird about you since just now. ”

“…… I was scared to go to a strange place. ”

"Don't worry, I'm here, I won't leave you alone!"

"Hmm...... Thank you. ”

"Girls are delicate, and what the uncle said is true, as a boy, you must take care of delicate girls at all times. ”

"What, Neil, you're not an adult!" chatting with Neil, Xia Li's mood suddenly became more relaxed, no longer restrained and afraid.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to become an adult like my uncle!"

"This sentence is really tongue-twisting, Neil, don't you bite your tongue when you say it so quickly?"

"Biting your tongue is a very painful thing, only a fool will bite your tongue because you are too anxious!"

"Well, let's just take it like that. Xia Li said this deliberately, raising an eyebrow and glancing at Neil.

When she spoke, she felt that time passed quickly, and soon, Xia Li followed Neil through the long staircase, Xia Li glanced back at the place she had walked, it was obvious that the long road seemed to shrink very short all of a sudden, and she came over in the blink of an eye, and she didn't feel too tired.

"It's finally here, let's go inside. Neil looked at the door of the temple and turned his head to look at Charlie.

Neil and Charlie made their way to the door, when two knights guarding the door of the temple stepped forward and stopped them.

"You two kids, why are you still here so late?"

Neil was a little taller than Xia Li, but in this way, his height could only reach the waist of the two knights in front of him, Neil saw the sword hanging from their waist, and when they walked over, they shook and swayed, stimulating Neil's eyes, Neil couldn't help but step back and stand with Xia Li.

- That's a real sword, a real sword, and if you accidentally touch it, you will get hurt!

Neil exclaimed in his heart, but he couldn't hide the nervousness and fear on his face.

At this time, Charlie was much more daring than Neil, even though she was two years younger than Neil.

Xia Li tried to raise her head, looked at the two knights of the temple, and said clearly why she came here, as if she had been prepared for a long time, and she was not panicked at all.

"Two knights, Gui'an. We were brought here by a mercenary, and now that the mercenary has left, we are here to find the person who will pick us up, my name is Charlie Ajette, and this is Neil Van Timothy. ”

"Little girl, we haven't heard of anyone answering. ”

"You're in the wrong place, aren't you? That mercenary is really, leave two children here and leave it alone. ”

"We can't let these two kids sleep outside. ”

"You go inside and make a report, and ask the people in the guest room to prepare two beds and arrange for them to rest here today. ”

Neil listened to what they said, and he couldn't interject at all.

Xia Li was a little annoyed, and she hadn't finished what she wanted to say.

"Mr. Knights, have you heard of Baker's name? It was Mr. Baker's arrangement that we came here, or who is the person in charge of speaking in the temple, we can wait here, can you please invite him over?"

The two knights glanced at each other, and the knight on the left couldn't help but laugh and said, "The child is really amazing now, he almost scared me, well, who are you looking for?

"Priest, Mr. Baker used to be a priest of the temple, if Mr. Archpriest hasn't rested......" Xia Li has lived in Neil's house for more than half a year, how can she not know Baker's past occupation, not to mention that Baker had a considerable friendship with his father.

"I haven't heard of this name in the past, but I'll help you, you two go in with this big brother, and he will help you arrange a room to rest by the way. The knight on the left said to them, then pointed to the knight on his right, and motioned for the two children to follow him.

"Okay, you come with me, and explain in advance, even if you go to the Grand Priest, you may not be able to meet him, but that Lord is very busy. But there will be a ceremony every morning, and if you don't see him, join the party tomorrow morning. ”

"Will there be a lot of people?" Neil was silent for a moment, then finally spoke.

"Alright, Neil, let's go quickly!" Xia Li pulled Neil, only walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered something, "Ah, I almost forgot to say thank you, the big brother on the left, and the big brother on the right, thank you so much!"
