2. The turning point of departure

Beck gripped his scalp and paced back and forth, his expression full of annoyance, and this went on for a while, and he finally tried to give up, and went straight to the baby whose name was Neil, who was wrapped in clothes on the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Baker whispered in a flattering tone, "Please, don't cry, okay?"

"By the way, you're going to listen to jokes, aren't you? I'm going to tell you a joke and make sure you won't cry anymore, okay, I did it on purpose, there are no such babies who can listen to jokes in this world, I'm just lying to myself, I'm already at a loss. I have to think again, hungry or cold, or want to listen to someone else sing?"

"Well, I'm babbling gibberish again. Baker scratched his hair again in frustration, perhaps he didn't know what he was talking about.

"How can it be so difficult to take care of, I was only fed milk ten minutes ago. ”

Three days after Baker left the temple and arrived at the deep seaport, the first thing he did when he arrived was to find his old acquaintances. Before Baker entered the temple, he was a small nobleman, his home was in the deep seaport, and later entered the temple to become a high priest, and Baker completely cut off ties with the family.

In the past few years, Baker has occasionally heard about the family, and it is said that he has been promoted to a knighthood and moved elsewhere.

Now, he has returned here, but he has no intention of restoring relations with the family.

Baker stared at Neil, who was crying, thinking about his next decision.

"Do you really have to find a nanny?" It just so happened that the family in the next house was a couple, and there were two children, for the sake of the baby in front of him, he also went to the next door house to ask for help, and spent time and energy to study, but he didn't even learn half of the experience of others, could it be that he really didn't have the talent to raise children?

"Every year, the temple takes in some displaced orphans, and strangely, I have never seen those children crying like this, and no matter how much they coax, they can't stop. ”

"Good, look at this, it's beautiful, can you, smile, Neil, smile!" No matter what Baker did, the little baby in front of him still refused to laugh and was still crying, which made Baker feel very frustrated.

"There's no way, I'd better go and ask the next door. ”

Baker made a decision, picked up Neil, and walked outside, just as he opened the door, he suddenly saw a person standing outside the door, the man retracted his hand, coughed to hide his embarrassment, looked at Baker, and the child Baker was holding in his hand, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Baker, ...... kid?"

"You are?"

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Kouy! Kouy Ajget! Long time no see, Baker......"

"Ah, Kuy...... You've matured a lot! you're almost unrecognizable!" Baker's expression changed from stunned to happy, and a smile spread across his face, "We should find a place to sit and catch up." But before that, let's solve this trouble at hand. ”

Baker took Neil in his arms and went to the door of the neighbor's house, knocked on the door, and after a while, a woman opened the door and came out, seeing Baker and the baby in his hand.

"Mrs. Coussy, are you free now? Neil's boy is crying again, I don't understand how much he likes to cry, he has just drunk milk, I don't know what the problem is. When Baker saw the woman, he looked saved, so that the other party couldn't help laughing, "Just leave it to me, you seem to have a guest, it just so happens that I don't have anything to help take care of for a while, I'll come and pick him up later, and I'll teach you by the way." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

Baker handed Neil to the other party, and before taking him away, he teased the crying face, and the round dark blue pupils looked at Baker as if he was recounting his grievances, looking very pitiful.

Cuoy's expression was strange from the beginning, "Is it your child? When did you get married?"

"Marriage? No, you misunderstood, even if you are single for 10,000 years in the temple, you can't get married and have children of your own. This is my adopted son, you know about the attack of the Ice Dragon before, that child was encountered in the town where it was attacked. ”

Cuy looked at Baker's face quietly, as if he was observing something, and Coy chuckled, "This hasn't changed, Baker, he still likes children as much as before." Think about it too, the reason for your adoption of a child. ”

"That's just one of the reasons, I just feel like I'm going to need a child, and after I leave the temple, I'm going to return to an ordinary life, and that child is my opportunity. ”

Cuy shook his head slightly, "Okay, come with me, I'll reintroduce you here, you haven't been back for so many years, and the changes that have taken place here are unimaginable." ”

Baker followed Cuy into the street and looked at the street, "The buildings in this area are really unfamiliar, I remember that there used to be two stories at most, but now three and four stories have been built, and this place is not as prosperous as it is now before the Aqua Tribes were officially accepted as residents of the Deep Grid Harbor." ”

Shenge Harbor is one of the three towns with the largest number of alien inhabitants in the Rodi Pava Empire, compared to Yarra City Paco City, Shenge Harbor is much smaller, and the difference is that most of the alien races living in Shenge Harbor are from the water tribe, not from the orc tribe from the beast field.

The water tribe and the orc race are the difference between the sea and the land, they are also alien, the appearance and living habits are very different, most of the orc tribes are mainly ear and tail, and the characteristics of the water tribe are the blue and fish tail that symbolize the sea.

Because the number of aquariums in the deep grid harbor has gradually increased, many architectural styles have gradually turned to cater to the characteristics of the aquarium, you can see from the street, the blue houses are the most, and some places are specially hollowed out to make a pool, and even raise some beautiful small fish in it.

Fifteen minutes later, Kuy and Baker walked one after the other, and met more than two dozen blue-haired and blue-eyed water tribes on the way.

A slight look of emotion crossed Baker's face, and he called out to Kuy, pointing to the bench next to him, "Sit down here." ”

Cuoy and Baker sat on a bench on the side of the road, Cooy put his right leg on his left leg, folded his hands on his knees, and looked at Baker and sometimes at the tree opposite.

He sat down and said to Cuoy, "The street has really changed completely, and I don't recognize it at all." ”

"When I got back here, I felt that this was more of the territory of the Terrans than the territory of the Terrans. Baker continued with emotion, "This place has developed until now, and you have not wasted the effort you put into here, and people ten years ago would never have imagined that today, this place can accommodate so many water tribes." ”

Cuy smiled, "I'm just for my wife." ”

"Maybe everyone will find a time to meet, the princesses of the water tribe have all been married by you, to be honest, you really have a hand. ”

"You're not bad at all, Baker. Kuy put away his smile and a straight color appeared on his face, "In just a few years, we have become the great priest of the temple, although we have not been in contact, it does not affect our previous friendship. Baker, why did you leave the temple? ”

"Spare me, don't lecture me. Baker smiled bitterly, a hint of gloom in his eyes, "I can't stay there anymore." You know about me, I have always been unvalued in the family, but because I have the talent of light magic, I was sent out by the family as an exchange of benefits. Everyone told me that you should be a temple person, even my parents often told me that you must be a temple person. ”

"That's what I'm worth, but what happens to me when I become a temple man is unpredictable, it's a warm place, and I make it my real home. But now I have no reason to stay there. ”

"I never thought this would happen to me, Cuoy, I'm not a magician anymore, I can't do any magic. On one occasion I had an accident and was unable to chant healing magic to anyone who came to the temple for help. ”

Cuy looked at Baker and slowly looked away, "Something unpredictable happens in the world. ”

"You choose to leave the temple and come back here, you don't plan to contact your family, so stay here. ”

Baker pressed his forehead, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Cuoy, you're right. ”

-- Sifang Temple, White Tiger Temple--

The group of three walked along the promenade from the atrium to the back, passing gardens and pools on the way, however, they did not have time to admire the bright and dazzling flowers and clear turquoise water waves. After walking for a while, they came to a black door.

The old shaman, who had taken the lead, turned back to the young man in the white robe and said, "This is it, Dennis, now you have the qualifications to enter the prayer room, you have inherited Baker's position, come on." ”

The other young man wearing a matching sword was the chief knight of the temple, and the chief knight Dylan shrugged, "Dennis, don't be as reckless as you used to, I really don't understand why Baker recommended you." Baker put his staff in the middle of prayer before leaving, we brought you here, and the next thing you have to do is take the staff yourself, and erase the traces of magic that Baker left behind, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"I'll try. Dennis nodded, put his hand on the door, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

The black door shut, and Dennis entered between prayers, his vision dark, there was no light in it, nothing could be seen.

Dennis knew how to do it, how to brighten the place, not with ordinary light magic, but with the mind, and between prayers was a place of communication with the gods of the four directions. It's incredible here, and the words that come out, as long as they come from the heart, will have a certain impact here.

Dennis really wants it to light up here, and it will light up here.

Suddenly, blue flames appeared out of thin air, lighting up the place, making Dennis' vision clear.

"It worked!"

"I thought it was difficult. ”

He looked around in a muttered manner, and finally, his gaze focused on the glowing staff suspended in midair.

"Lord Baker's staff of sanity. Dennis walked over, walked up to the staff, reached out and touched the hexagonal staff in front of him, and he easily removed the staff.

Dennis turned around, and for a moment, several images flashed through his mind, so fast that he couldn't even capture them, and he could only barely remember a sentence or two.

"I'm sorry, Dylan, I think I'm going to have to get out of here, I've lost my qualification to enter between prayers and I don't have the ability to stay here. ”
