The young man walked slowly, with a curiosity on his face, and kept looking around, and frequently sighed in surprise. Originally, Samuel was ahead of him, but at some point, the boy was far behind.

"That's what the temple branch looks like. ”

The trouble Samuel was talking about was the young man in front of him, and he didn't seem to hear it.

He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright blonde hair, blue eyes like seawater, and a little childish when he smiled. When he finally spotted Cyrus, there was a slight doubt on his face.

Samuel introduced him first.

"This is the chief knight of the Xuanwu Temple, Cyrus. ”

"So you're Cyrus, more serious than I expected, what about Kozmo?

"Ahem, we'd better talk in the room. ”

"The room in the temple branch, I'm interested, hurry up and lead the way!"

The young man was in high spirits and urged.

“……”

Even though Cyrus himself carries a strong aura and coercion, when he looks directly at a person, it seems like the kind of eyes that stare fiercely at a prisoner, and rarely shows a gentle expression on his face, but the young man himself doesn't care at all, and maintains a cheerful smile on his face.

"Please, over here. ”

Picking this opportunity, it's either that he doesn't have eyes, or that this guy's identity is not ordinary.

"Then my work of leading the way is over, so I'll take my leave. ”

After following a few steps, Samuel did not go in, the boy found himself unexpectedly, and Samuel's job was only to lead the way for him.

"Wait a minute, my name is Samuel, I'm interested in you, I'll send someone for you in a while. ”

Before the boy entered the room, he suddenly stopped, turned back to Samuel, and then waved his hand to say goodbye, and then closed the door.

“…… What the hell?"

"What a troublesome little ghost. ”

With a breath, Samuel walked in the other direction.

"I guess it's this room, Room One. ”

Samuel opened the door gently, and when he entered, he was also light-footed, and after closing the door gently, he turned to look into the room.

In the room, there was a reassuring breathing sound.

"Meow...... Grilled fish meow ......"

Samuel found a chair and sat down, and sorted out what had happened in the past two or three days, first the palace had suffered a strange lethargy, and then he kept running around, in order to put a word on the matter, to gather what could be called evidence, and the temple branch was also helping. Then it was a matter of explanation and explanation, a hasty meeting was held, the process was announced, and after pushing Popin out, he tried to clear his suspicion and let the palace transfer Popin to the Temple of the Four Directions. Eventually, Popin came to the temple branch to be interrogated by the Temple of the Four Directions, and at this point, the matter was finally over.

Of course, there are a few other things interspersed in between.

Look for a white kitten everywhere in the palace.

Through the teleportation array of the temple branch, it took some time to bring Vivian's body here.

Then, what did the priest of the Temple of the Four Directions do, how to restore Vivian to normal, and Samuel was not present during these two days, because he was so tired that it was like concentrating all the hard work of his life on these two days.

"I didn't expect these two guys to still be asleep and talking in their dreams. ”

After sitting for a while, Samuel stood up and paid a visit, staying in this room for too long, although he had permission to come in, but he could not be mistaken into thinking that he would carry out a sneak attack on them.

Less than five minutes after entering, Samuel was gone.

After closing the door, he thought seriously and thought about his own affairs.

Inside the room, one of them had his ears moved, and then his eyes opened.

"Meow, just to say a few words of nonsense?"

“…… It's been a long time since I've seen Vivian Meow, my hair is still so soft, and I'll hold it for a while, so soft and soft. ”

Jima seems to be holding a soft doll, and can't put it down, rubbing it back and forth many times, and then re-enters the sweet dream.

A few hours later, it was midnight.

Outside the window is the deep night, hidden mystery and depth, as if time has stopped, it is the ultimate quiet, and it seems to let out a silent moan, but I don't know who I want to tell it.

There were two similar figures lying on the bed.

The same ears on the top of the head, as well as the tail on the back.

One of them woke up in a daze.

"Meow?"

She opened her eyes, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what was going on, why she was here.

"Hima?"

Turning his head, he saw his companion.

"Meow up, meow, hurry up?!"

"Meow!"

A few minutes later, Hima also woke up and was woken up.

"Vivian, Vivian?!"

"Great, meow, you're finally back!"

Jima hugged Vivian, couldn't suppress her joy and excitement, and screamed happily.

"It's an itchy meow, what's going on? What kind of meow is this?"

Hima let go of Vivian, coughed heavily, and began to stare at her face as if trying to see something unusual.

"Sorry meow, I was so excited just now, but then again, meow, how do you feel now?

"Meow?"

After asking a bunch of questions in a row, confirming that Vivian's condition should really be fine, Jima was relieved. Then, Hima thought about it for a while and told the other party everything that had happened during this time.

As dawn approached, the colors outside the window became brighter.

After several hours of chatting, in addition to explaining, he also answered many questions raised by Vivian, and when the first bird's cry appeared, the topic finally came to an end.

"That's it, Jima's throat is dry! I'm going out to drink water!"

"I'm going too, Vivian is hungry. ”

The two of them left the room together and went to the kitchen to see if there was any food, even if it was a bit early in the morning, but there were still people waiting. Jima seemed to be very familiar with this place, and greeted the people here very well, and by the way, asked the other party to find two sets of clean clothes, and then returned to the room with the harvest.

An hour later, the two cat-clan girls were refreshed.

"It's all this time, and the others are almost up, so let's go and say hello to everyone. ”

Walking out of the room again, Himma asked the branch knights about the whereabouts of some of them.

"Let's go find Ruthma and Lilil, they're here too!"

Hima decides to find the closest companion first, and then to the Knight Chief, who is always so busy that it may not be easy to see each other. However, if you're lucky, you might be able to meet Popin. As for Samuel, don't worry about it for now.

On this day, the temple branch began to return to its usual appearance.

The footsteps in the hallway were constantly coming and going, hurrying, without the slightest leisure.

Various guests from the outside are qualified to enter again.

"The temple branch has been closed for so many days, and it is not easy to finally reopen the door today. ”

"Why did you close the door suddenly? I obviously said that I could get the herbs last week, but the Sifang Temple actually missed the appointment. ”

In this way, the period when the temple branch was suddenly closed to the public aroused people's curiosity.

Samuel sat on the bench in the hall early in the morning, watching the people of the temple branch repeat the explanation, repeating it over and over again, and dispelling people's doubts with the reason that the interior is horizontal.

With a yawn, suddenly someone came up to him and raised his head.

A little surprised, and his expression didn't change much.

"It's you, I thought you'd sleep forever. ”

"What a meow! Vivian finally woke up meow, aren't you happy at all? What a merciless meow!"

Another voice came from the side, and Samuel glanced at her and shrugged.

"I'm happy, why am I happy?"

Jima's face tensed, with a feeling that fire was about to burn on her face, rubbing her palms, as if she was about to make something, but was restrained by Vivian in time.

"Don't make a noise, Vivian doesn't want to trouble everyone anymore. ”

"Ha, it's best if you know that. ”

"Then again, it was your fault that Vivian ...... in the first place"

"Alright, okay, meow. ”

"It's a nuisance. ”

Vivian shrugged his ears and lowered his head slightly, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

Jima was about to say something, but the sudden footsteps stopped around them, and she had to swallow the words back and glared at Samuel.

Coming to the side were the knights of the branch, who came to deliver a message and asked them to go to the reception room.

In the reception room, there were three people, one standing in front of the window with his back to him, the other sitting on the sofa, and a person standing behind the sofa. Hearing that the door was opened, all three turned their attention.

"It's coming. ”

Standing in front of the window in the back is the knight chief Cyrus.

"I have something to entrust to you. ”

Cyrus glanced at them and frowned when he saw that there was still no one coming, and from behind Samuel came Jima to see the man standing behind the couch and was dumbfounded.

"You, you, how did you meow here?!"

"Meow you know?"

"Tsk. ”

Samuel grumbled slightly, not feeling anything about the trouble.

"Why didn't you come. ”

Cyrus's expression was as cold as ice, and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped, obviously someone had been arranged, but they hadn't come yet, they waited here for a few minutes, and when they were about to get angry, there was finally a knock on the door again.

"Come in. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm late, I heard something to ask us for...... eh, Samuel, you're already here, I went to your room just now. ”

This time it was Ruthma and Lilil who came in.

"When the people are all together, then I'll be blunt, I have a task to entrust to you. ”

The chief knight glanced at them with a strange hesitation in his eyes, and walked over to the couch to ask each other.

"Do you really want to name these people?"

The man sitting on the couch stood up and nodded.

“……”

"It seems that this man has an unusual background. ”

Hima whispered.

"Huh. ”

Samuel sneered.

"Before I explain this and introduce myself, I hope you will give me a promise that I will never tell my identity, that I will keep this matter a secret and that I will never reveal it to anyone, and that I will swear to the gods of the four directions. ”

"It's not easy to listen to your tone, first of all, how much is the pay?"

"After successful completion, I will give each of you 10,000 gold coins. ”

"One, ten thousand?"

"Ten thousand meows?"

"Sounds suspicious. ”

"I promise, I swear to the gods of the four directions, as long as you get 10,000 gold coins after completing the mission, I will promise you even if you don't speak for months. ”

No matter how surprised they were, Samuel agreed to hear that number without even thinking about it.

"Wait, you're too quick to say yes. ”

Before Lustma could stop it, Samuel had already sworn an oath.

"Why do you have to hesitate? The chief knight himself stepped in as an intermediary. ”

"That's right, but ......"

"I don't even know what the task is, and I agreed so quickly that I really don't know what to say. ”

Hima rolled her eyes.

"1. 10,000 gold coins...... How many meows can I buy for grilled fish?"

"Vivian doesn't know about meow!"

Although the content of the mission is not known yet, the middleman is the chief knight, and there is no reason to refuse, everyone is the same as Samuel, making promises and swearing.

"I hope we can get along, this man next to me is called Wall, Wall Kosender, is my servant, and I heard him say that he knows one of you, it seems to be called, what is it? ”

"Yes, I'm friends with Hima. ”

"That's good, I hope you will continue to get along well. ”

After a pause, he continued.

"My name is Islian Mozrav, and I am the king of this country, and I have entrusted you with my escort to escort me to Remirabel. Again, I hope that we will get along well along the way. ”

******

After that, it took more than an hour to pack your bags.

Samuel wiped his dagger and, seeing that it was almost time, left the room.

The others are probably still surprised to close their mouths.

The employer who entrusted them turned out to be the king, who looked like a teenager everywhere on the street, without any difference.

Samuel was mentally prepared in advance compared to them, and he would not be too surprised when there was a knock on the door of his room. Oh, compared to the status of his employer, the 10,000 gold coin was even more surprising to him, and his mood couldn't help but rise at the thought of the price of the remuneration.

In short, he was ready and ready to go.

After exiting the room, Samuel spotted Lilil.

Lilil stood in the hallway with a blank expression, as if thinking about something, and a little confused.

"Where's your stuff?

“……”

"Hey, can't you hear me?"

If he couldn't hear him again, Samuel slapped him in the face.

"Huh?

“…… What are you doing?"

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

"I'm going to ask you this sentence, and I've called you several times. ”

“…… Excuse meow, Lilil was distracted and didn't hear ......."

"Why don't you refuse? Let's not talk about me, you're the one who drags your feet the most. ”

“…… Sorry meow, Lilil...... Lilil can't figure out the meow either. ”

"It's too late to go to the chief knight. ”

“…… I ......"

Lilil looked distressed and at a loss.

"Meow, don't bully people!"

"Wait meow, Jima, you don't want your scroll?!"

Suddenly, the voices of Jima and Vivian came from far and near.

"Bullying, aren't you good friends? She has troubles but doesn't know?"

Samuel pointed at Lilil.

"Annoyed?"

Seeing Lilil's expression, Hima thought about it and thought of only one possibility.

"It's okay meow, don't worry about meow. ”

"It's because ...... Ppuin?"

Cautiously asked.

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing meow, Brother Pupu is still a little estranged from me, and he doesn't want to recognize my meow......"

"I'll go find him!"

"No meow. ”

“…… Hey, do you need to keep mentioning this person? Let's not talk about the temple branch, that guy can't just come out, and we can't just see him. ”

"But meow! Lilil finally ...... It took ...... a long time."

"That's right! I'll go find the Knight Chief!"

"Where are you going? Don't we still have a mission?"

“…… I'm sorry Meow, Lilil is bothering herself, you don't have to worry about Meow, really, don't worry about Meow. ”

"Just don't hold back. ”

"Yes, Meow, Lilil will work hard. ”

The Knight Captain had talked to Lilil about it, but after all, Popin was a shadow mage, and he wouldn't let him go until he promised that he wouldn't do anything dangerous.

Cyrus would personally send Popin to the Temple of the Four Directions, and only after a period of observation would he be released.

"So this is between the teleportations of the branch. ”

Arriving at the room with the teleportation array, Samuel saw that Lustma had arrived.

"You're here, let's go. ”

The chief knight arranged for someone to put magic crystals on the teleportation array, and they entered the magic circle one after another, and after the teleportation array was activated, their figures disappeared with the light of the magic array.

Their destination was Remira Bell, where the Knight Chief Cyrus was going, passing through Rémira Belle on the way.

As he walked out of the room, the contact device he was carrying glowed, followed by a burst of complaints.

"Cyris, Cyrus, when are you going to be back, I need you! Come back quickly, I can't handle it alone! Oh my God, I don't want to interrogate that guy anymore! I can't finish my work, I have to stay up all night, you talk to me, Cyrus!"

"Cyrus, do you hear me? Cyris, don't speak, I know you're there!"

"Noisy. ”

Cyrus took off the magic crystal from the magic prop forcefully, with a cold face, and the voice on the other side disappeared, becoming quiet, "I'll go too." ”

******

The splendid gates, adorned with a variety of flowers and colorful ribbons, are still crowded around the gates, even after the carriages have left and gone for a few days.

In the crowd, there was a pair of eyes, looking at the towers outside the outskirts of the city.

“…… Is it there?"
