XIII. Dennis, the Grand Priest

Dennis walked over to the desk in the bedroom, where there were neat but heavy stacks of paperwork, blocking the teacups and even candles on the desk, and when he came back from dinner, he let out a heavy breath. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's time again, Mistress Danielle is always dazzled, and I'm afraid my eyes wouldn't be good if I were his age. "Daniel that Dennis is talking about is the head shaman of the White Tiger Temple, the oldest one in the entire temple, and the old head shaman has never been able to find a suitable successor, so he has not retired for a long time.

"The short guy next to Dylan is really good, and he doesn't feel bothered to deal with hundreds of reports a day, when did I have this kind of talent around me. Dennis grumbled bitterly as he grumbled to himself, feeling sorry for himself.

"Lord Baker, if only you could come back to the temple. "Baker was the person Denis admired the most, and when he was still the Grand Priest, all the priests of the Temple admired him as much as he did. However, in the past ten years, too many new people have come to the temple, and most of the original old people have been sent to the temple branches in various places.

The newcomers who have come in in the past few years have no idea about the name of the former high priest.

"He left too early, even if he can't use magic, with his too good talent, no one will blame, the history of the temple is an unparalleled pearl, except for the first one who built the temple at that time, until now, none of the previous priests can compare with Lord Upper Baker. ”

Dennis sank into his own thoughts and whispered alone, rekindling feelings of longing in his heart.

"Knock Knock"

"Lord Dennis. ”

There was a knock on the door outside, disturbing Dennis' solitary musings.

"Come in. ”

The priest outside the door pushed the door in and looked at Dennis, "I'm sorry, Lord Dennis, this is your busiest time. ”

"Dylan, that guy is only good at swinging a sword, not good at staring at dense numbers, the plants planted in the atrium, when they bloom and bear fruit, they all pick a lot, plant seeds and magic potions, and magic props sold outside, if it weren't for the fact that the salary is more than others, I wouldn't work part-time. ”

The priest used to hear Dennis's grumbling every time he came in, and there was no need for him to add fuel to the fire, even if Master Dylan's style was always a bit ...... In short, if you talk too much, you will sometimes say it wrong.

The priest walked up to Dennis's side and bowed slightly: "Lord Dennis, there are two little guests from the temple tonight, and there are knights who arrange their accommodation, but ...... The two guests indicated that they were looking for you. ”

"Looking for me, where did you come from?"

"Two children about ten years old, it is said that a mercenary escorted them to the temple, and the mercenary left, one named Neil and the other Charlie. The priest told Dennis everything he knew, and he had inquired about the origin of the two little guests before coming here.

Dennis frowned when he heard this, Neil seemed to have heard the name somewhere.

“…………”

“…… If you don't have time, I can say no to them. The priest asked Dennis, and the two guests pointed out that they wanted to find the high priest, but they could not say any precise reason, perhaps they were familiar with Lord Dennis, so he came to tell Denis about it, otherwise he would never interfere with Lord Dennis's work.

Suddenly, Dennis stood up and exclaimed, "I remember at last!

"Lord Dennis, they're in the atrium right now. ”

"I know, this pile of things on the table will be handed over to you first, it's not the first time you've dealt with these things, and all the mistakes will be singled out!"

"I see, Lord Dennis. As soon as the priest finished speaking, before he could turn around, he heard the door suddenly shut, and Lord Dennis looked very anxious, and the two little guests were indeed familiar with Lord Dennis.

The knight entered the temple with two imps, and Neil and Charlie were lucky, as soon as they entered, they saw several people dressed as priests not far away. The knight went over to the priest and said a few words, introducing the identities of the two imps behind him, and Neil and Xia Li greeted several priests.

This encounter with the priest was quickly forgotten by Neil, who was drawn to the surroundings as soon as his gaze touched it. As soon as they stepped through the temple gates, their feet were planted on a carpet of gold and red edging, which stretched all the way forward and ended behind the two stone statues.

At this scene, Neil couldn't take his eyes off it, and after staring at it for a long time, he couldn't help but wonder if his eyes could also turn into gold coins. The path was led by the knights, lined with intricately carved marble pillars, and beside them was a flowerbed of various flowers that continued to emit the fragrance of flowers. Even those who are extremely sleepy or even physically weak cannot help but feel refreshed after passing through this corridor, and some special flowers have a refreshing effect, not only for an ornamental effect.

Neil entered this place for the first time and couldn't help but marvel. On the contrary, Xia Li was calmer.

Xia Li turned her head and saw Neil looking around, so she took a step closer and shortened the distance between the two.

Xia Li reached out and tugged at Neil's clothes, and couldn't help but remind: "Neil, you are so rude like this!"

"It's much warmer and more beautiful than outside, isn't it?" Neil envied those who could live here, compared to his own home, the contrast between heaven and earth.

Neil looked at him with envy, "It must be comfortable to live here, it's like a palace." ”

"You have a chance to enter the palace and say something like that again. ”

"Xia Li, have you ever entered the palace?"

"No, it's not just a place where you can enter if you want to, people with status and status can only enter after getting the emperor's approval, it's different from here. ”

"The temple will not be closed to civilians. Neil turned his head and looked at the place where they were going, he had already withdrawn those envious glances, and there was a faint goal in his heart, if he could officially become a member of this place.

Neil's thoughts were too obvious on his face, and Xia Li looked like she knew everything, resisting the urge to reach out and squeeze it hard, reminding him again: "It's not so easy to join the temple and become a member. ”

"How do you know?"

"I just know, this is what my father said, Mr. Baker used to be a priest, why haven't you heard about the temple from Mr. Baker?"

"Adults are always secretive and don't tell me everything, even if they ask more than once, it's better for children not to listen to such reasons. ”

"Indeed...... My father was the same, but I couldn't bother him and ask him questions that would embarrass him. ”

"I hate this!" Neil said hatefully.

The knight who walked in front came all the way to greet his companions on duty, and found that the two imps behind him did not follow, so he turned around and urged. "Why don't you two little ghosts leave?"

Neil and Xia Li were chatting, when they walked to the stone statue, and saw the knight turn around, Neil happened to see the stone statue on the side, Neil's eyes flashed with curiosity, so he asked the knight, "Whose statues are those two stone statues?"

The knight understood that these imps would inevitably be curious when they entered the temple for the first time.

"On the left is the statue of the first chief knight, and on the right is the statue of the first chief shaman. ”

"Where's the statue of the Great Priest?"

"This temple has been attacked by dragons several times, and the statues of the first high priests were destroyed at that time, and the two statues you see now are actually damaged and repaired later. ”

"I can't tell that it has been damaged at all, why hasn't the statue of the Great Priest been repaired?"

“…… This incident was a pity for the temple, and the statue of the first great priest was reduced to powder in an instant. The knight's eyes darkened when he mentioned this, and the knight subconsciously touched the matching sword and held it tightly. Neil's eyes suddenly became terrifying as he stared at the knight, and he began to regret that he had brought up a terrible topic.

As a result, Xia Li stood up with a questioning gaze: "Mr. Knight?"

"Ah, it's fine. The knight reacted, "I'll take you to the atrium." ”

This was the end of the topic of the stone statues, and the knight led them around the stone statues, and Neil looked intently ahead, noticing that there were several rooms over there, and the door of the middle room was ajar, and all kinds of voices of excitement and excitement came from inside.

"Big, big, it has to be big!"

"Master Dylan, you're out of luck tonight, please, don't play any more!!"

"Lord Dylan, let's stop, please, I only paid my salary last week, and now you have ...... in your pocket"

The knight who passed by with Neil and Charlie had a dark expression again, and he ......glanced back at Neil and Charlie, said sorry, and hurried to the room.

The knight cursed in his heart, damn it, he didn't close the door properly.

"Neil?"

Neil vaguely knew what was going on in that room, and he shook his head and said to Xia Li, "It's better that you don't know." ”

“…………”

Neil Charlie waited in place for a moment, unaware that the knight who had broken in drew his sword and swung it forward, slicing the board in half. After that, there was an astonishing scream from the room, and the knight who had entered earlier walked out with a black face.

“………………”

“………………”

Neil Charlie glanced at each other, and the rational choice was silent.

Neil and Charlie followed the knight to the atrium, which was filled with many plants, and Neil could name half of them, while Charlie stared up at the white dots of light floating in mid-air.

The knight hadn't left yet, and he was about to open his mouth to explain why he had brought them here.

Xia Li turned to the knight and said, "Mr. Knight, those lights are ...... Floating in the air?"

The knight was naturally familiar with the temple, after all, he had lived here for several years.

I was surprised at first, but then I got used to it.

"It's just a magic item, a combination of wind magic and earth magic combined with light magic. The knight briefly explained that these magic items were the result of experiments and research conducted by the shaman and the priest together.

Xia Li seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand, she wanted to ask carefully, recalling the knight's face just now, this kind of question still didn't bother him.

Xia Li looked over, and those points of light floating in mid-air were like stars shining in the night sky.

The little girl stretched out her hand, thinking that if she grew up soon, she might be able to touch such a beautiful thing.

With so many of these items in the middle of the atrium, it was almost the same as during the day, and Neil could see the shape of the flowers and leaves clearly as he walked over.

The knight told them not to damage the plants, let alone pick them.

The knight saw that these two imps were very interested in this place, they were so peaceful, it didn't matter if they left for a while, he had to ask the priest he saw when he entered the temple, and he didn't know if Lord Dennis had come in person.

Neil and Charlie hadn't noticed that the knight had walked away, Neil had been staring at the plants in the atrium, and Charlie had tried to look up at the night sky overhead after looking at the star-like points of light in the sky.

Xia Li soon discovered the fact that this place was obviously outside, but she didn't feel the slightest cold.

"Neil, Neil, what's so nice about these things?" said Charlie, walking over to Neil, trying to regain his consciousness.

"How?"

"Did you notice? There's not a single wind here. ”

"This is the temple, what's so strange. ”

"Who is the guy who was surprised and curious all the way just now?" Xia Li rolled her eyes, and then reacted, since she stepped into the temple, all the original physical discomfort has disappeared, which can also be attributed to the magic of the temple.

“…… You're right, there's nothing strange here, this is the temple. ”

Xia Li suddenly thought, maybe, if she stayed here, would she not have any more diseases without taking medicine?

As they continued to talk about the temple, the door to the atrium opened, and a man dressed as a priest walked in front, followed by another priest and a knight.

"I finally see you!" the priest who walked in front of him walked quickly to Neil, bent down and hugged Neil.
