22 Sober
Aesop uses Neil as a weapon to get rid of Joel, the Bright Gold Knight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Joel is a Dylan knight who often follows the knight Captain, and his sword skills are not the best among all the Dylan knights, but his ability to handle paperwork and letters is unmatched by all knights, so he is valued by Dylan.
In fact, to elect the next Knight Commander from among the Knights of Huijin, swordsmanship is a very important condition.
Knights usually use this time to practice their swordsmanship in their free time outside of working hours, which is very precious, and although they are very sympathetic to the plight of Joel, the Bright Gold Knight, they do not sacrifice their free time for it.
For knights, sword training must be carried out every day, otherwise it will be delayed, and after a long time, the feeling of holding the sword will be rusty.
"Aesop, you guy, we are also childhood sweethearts!" Joel shouted loudly in the back, his tone full of grievance and sadness.
Isolt simply ignored it, pulling Neil to run briskly forward.
"Brother Joel is too pathetic. Neil whispered, and every time he saw Joel, he saw a tired look on his face and deep circles under his eyes.
"It was his misfortune that Master Dylan took a fancy to him the day he entered the temple. ā
"Aren't you and Brother Joel best friends?"
"There are things that my best friend can't share, and I can only pray for him. After getting acquainted with Neil, Aesop didn't mind saying some thoughts in front of Neil.
"Brother Joel has such a friend, I don't know if it's ......" Neil muttered quietly, his eyes meeting Aesop's icy gaze, and immediately silenced.
Isolt took a dozen steps with Neil, and Isolt lowered her head and asked, "Are you going back to your room?"
"I've just been to the library, Brother Iso, I want to ask you, is the shaman uncle on the first floor of the library serious to anyone?"
"Uncle Shaman?"
"Uncle Shaman with glasses!"
"Wearing glasses? That's Mr. Vader, don't look at him like that, Mr. Vader is actually a good man, sometimes stubborn, you know after a long time. ā
"How can you spend so long with someone like that?" Neil muttered dissatisfied.
"Where are you going to go back to the dormitory? I have something to do, so I won't send you there. ā
"It's okay, I'm already familiar with the surroundings of the temple. Neil waved his hand, motioning for Isolt to ignore him.
When Aesop heard this, she immediately left, and Neil returned to a person, Neil turned to look around, and muttered, "I came here unknowingly, and I often go to the atrium...... Atrium ......"
"That's right, Atrium!"
Neil suddenly exclaimed, "It's the atrium!"
During the days when Neil and Charlie lived in the harbor, Baker once took Neil to the mountains to collect medicine, and Neil once found a beautiful blue butterfly on the mountain, which was a flower that Charlie liked very much.
Neil hurried to the atrium, where the starry light suspended in the air illuminated the entire atrium, and the scenery in front of him was unobstructed. Neil didn't bother to pay attention to the scenery of flowers and plants, he passed by the emerald green potted plant, the pink and pink flowers in the flower bed were not his choice, and the purple flowers could not keep Neil's gaze, Neil only cared about the blue butterfly.
Neil searched, but never found the blue butterfly.
"How could it be......" Neil muttered in frustration as the door to the atrium opened and someone entered.
"Neil, you're so interested, you like to come here at night to see the flowers. ā
"Grandpa Shaman. ā
"I'll come for a walk, will you do the same?"
"No, I'm looking for a flower. Neil explained why he had come to the atrium.
"That's right. Shaman Daniel said slowly, "Blue Butterfly? I'm sorry, but the priest knows more about this. ā
"Then I'll go out to find Priest Wright, Grandpa Shaman, do you know where Priest Wright is?"
"Coincidentally, I just saw him seem to be walking towards the library. ā
"Library?" Neil muttered to himself, how could it be a library again.
"Thanks, I'll go to the library now. ā
"Go ahead, if you can find it. Old Shaman Danielle smiled kindly.
Neil turned to leave the atrium, and when the door to the atrium closed, the old priest Daniel sighed, "What a young man, young child......"
Even if he was reluctant, Neil went back to the library, and when he walked into the library, he still saw the shaman's face, as if he owed him money, and the shaman, Vader, glanced at Neil and asked with his eyes, borrow a book?
Neil shook his head and asked, "Is Brother Wright in there?" ā
Vader the Shaman nodded, then watched as Neil walked towards the bookshelf as he got the answer.
"Brother Wright......" Neil called Wright's name in a low voice, this is the library, there is a reminder on the door of the library to read quietly, every time you walk by, Neil naturally knows that you can't make noise here.
Wright was looking up some materials in the library, in the innermost position between the second and third rows of bookshelves.
After checking and checking, Wright suddenly heard someone calling his name, Wright put down the book, discerning the direction from which the voice came, Wright left the third row of bookshelves and walked to the second row of bookshelves in front.
"Neil?"
"Brother Wright, I have something I want to ask you about. ā
******
Separated from Wright in the library, Neil learns the answer and returns to the atrium. In the atrium, Neil placed an empty potted plant behind the flower beds in the second row on the left, which was the blue butterfly Neil was looking for.
This pot of blue butterflies had just been planted a few days ago, and there were only seeds in it, and they did not sprout or even bloom, and Neil was still happy that he had finally harvested something, even if it looked like an empty pot.
"Oops, hurry back!"
Neil walked out of the atrium with the flowerpot in his arms, noticing the time in the hallway of the temple and becoming anxious.
"Charlie, I'm back. ā
Neil returned to the dormitory, put the flower pot aside, and shouted to Xia Li, "Sorry, I may be late, this pot of flowers is for you." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, Neil didn't dare to linger too long, and hurriedly left, leaving Xia Li confused.
"Flower pots?" Xia Li walked over and looked at the flower pot that Neil had just placed next to the door, there was only dirt in the flower pot, Xia Li felt inexplicable, she muttered, "What does Neil mean by this?"
Dennis sat on a chair in the bedroom, with a stack of letters, notes and other documents neatly placed on the desk in front of him, next to an iron silver candlestick, the candle lamp on the candlestick was lit, and the flame of the candle was reflected in Dennis's pupils.
The ticking sound of the clock on the wall is particularly clear in this quiet environment, silently reminding people of the movement of time. At any given time, even if the owner of the room is not there, the clock on the wall is working and never stopping.
Dennis flicked his index finger on the table, tapping it again and again, as if to meet the ticking of a clock.
āā¦ā¦ā
"Late ......?"
Dennis stared at the time on the wall, eight-ten, a full ten minutes late.
āā¦ā¦ Alas, wait a little longer, the psychology of being late, this is still understandable. ā
At Neil's age, it's natural to be playful, and there's no need to be deliberately harsh.
Dennis allows Neil to be appropriately willful, playful, childhood is a precious period of time, innocence is every child's greatest treasure, they want to learn what it means to be happy in childhood, and have a happy childhood.
On the way, everyone will gradually throw away some things on their body little by little, until they become a stable adult, and they can easily solve all kinds of troubles when facing them.
Dennis's childhood, thanks to the Temple, and thanks to the former Grand Priest Baker, was not bad at all.
Dennis remembers hearing a saying in a town that a bad childhood leads to a miserable future, leading to an unhappy life.
"It's not too much to give him homework every day, isn't it? after all, Master Baker told me in his letter not to educate Neil too lazy. ā
"It's slow, it's eight-fifteen. ā
Dennis took out a pen from the drawer, and took out a blank notebook, intending to write something on it, and wrote the first word, when the bedroom door suddenly opened, and a ten-year-old boy hurried into the room and entered Dennis's field of vision.
Dennis stood up, displeased with Neil, who was walking towards him.
"Neil, you're late. ā
"I'm sorry, Uncle Dennis, I was just running around and delaying some time, and only after I realized that I was late!" Neil stuck out his tongue, indicating that he didn't mean to be late.
"I wanted to make Xia Li happy, I went to the atrium to find the blue butterfly, but I didn't find it, but fortunately I met Grandpa Danielle out for a walk, he told me to look for Divine Wright, so I went to the library to find Brother Wright, and asked him ......"
Dennis hurriedly waved his hand to stop Neil from continuing.
"Well, I understand, you don't have to say it again. ā
"Uncle Dennis, ......are you angry?" Neil asked cautiously, looking at Dennis's face.
"Anyway, being late is being late, as a punishment, come early tomorrow night at half past seven, and I'll let you copy some things later, now start class, sit down." ā
Neil nodded, sat down, and sat down across from Dennis.
Neil silently said in his heart, it seems that Uncle Dennis is going to be serious, even if he comes to the temple, he can't waste his studies.
******
Neil studied with Dennis every night for a few days, and for the days of life in the temple, Neil and Charlie's routines became more and more regular, as if they regarded this place as their second home.
Half a month passed quickly, and the night Xia Li received the third letter from her father Kuy, after reading her father's letter, Xia Li decided to write a reply, writing all the things about life in the temple, and was racking her brains to worry about how to write.
"Are you writing a letter?"
"Well, a letter to my father. ā
"Come on, I'm going to Uncle Dennis again. ā
The door opened and closed, Neil left the room at this time as always, Xia Li stayed in the room, engrossed in writing the letter, and finally made up her mind to prepare the letter while she felt unconscious, and sent it out when she was ready.
Neil made his way down the hallway, out of the dormitory, and toward Dennis's bedroom.
At the same time, in a certain room in the lounge, the teenager who was wrapped in bandages finally opened his eyes, revealing a confused look.
"I ......"
