The sky is filled with orange-red clouds, and the background behind the busy streets in the evening is a gorgeous sight, and even in the nearby park, there are people sitting on benches and listening to the sound of the wind while admiring the brilliant skyline. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, not everyone has the leisure to enjoy the scenery of nature.

"I'm so tired, hey, the blonde ponytail girl in front, where is the inn you said your acquaintance and friend owned, we've been walking for twenty minutes!!"

"Right up front, then again, Samuel, if you're tired, there are so many thoughts that you don't really get tired. ”

"Look at the two fools behind me, as soon as they see a grilled fish on the road, they want to pounce on it, how many times have I stopped it along the way!! if it goes on like this, my purse will be deflated!!"

"Sure enough, you still have the strength. ”

“…… I'll keep the account, how many grilled fish the two of them ate, I'll keep your account. ”

Samuel gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

The inn of the acquaintance mentioned by Ruthma was just around the corner in front, and after entering, Samuel couldn't wait to grab the front, and immediately said to the person standing at the counter, "I want a separate room, write it down on the ponytail girl in the back, and give me the key quickly." ”

"Samuel, is it necessary for you to be so anxious? Also, you called me Ponytail for the second time, and I don't remember my name being changed. ”

"I want to rest!!"

Samuel yelled at her, fire written all over his face.

"Hima Jima, I heard that the Terrans will be like this when they reach menopause, do you think Samuel has also reached menopause?"

Entering the inn behind Ruthma were two cat-clan girls, each holding a grilled fish in their left and right hands, discussing what was in front of them as they ate.

"I don't know, I'm not interested in the Terrans. ”

"You two, I'll remember. ”

"Hmm...... Don't say it, by the way, you seem to be a new face, a newcomer? I'm a friend of your boss, my name is Ruthma, we want four private rooms, mention my name to your boss, remember to count the discount!"

After getting the keys to the room, Ruthma handed them two of them, "For you, Ann, Hima, let's have a good rest today." ”

Turning around and walking inside, Samuel's figure was gone.

"This guy is walking so fast. ”

Ruthma shrugged her shoulders, she wanted to talk to him about something, but she couldn't help it, let's talk about it tomorrow, everyone was tired.

"Damn, damn !!"

Once in the room, Samuel began to curse.

"The reward is actually half less, just because Popin escaped, damn! There is a follow-up to this task, and after finding Popin, I promised to make up for the original missing rewards, isn't this a!!

"That guy Lolog, who doesn't look like him, is so sinister in his heart!!"

"It's troublesome, it's really not a good thing to have something to do with the cat clan, how many grilled fish did those two stupid cats eat along the way!! why let me pad it first, all the money of that guy is used for equipment, damn it!!!

“………………”

At this time, Ruthma, who happened to be back in the room, was putting down the luggage on her body, and obviously heard some movement in the next room.

"My room seems to be next door to Samuel, it's so hot......"

Samuel's roar could be heard through the walls, though not all of them, but a few important words had already been heard by Lustma.

Inside, after venting his anger, Samuel fell into bed and fell asleep not long after.

The four of them used teleportation scrolls to leave the boundless forest, and those teleportation scrolls did not allow them to return directly to the town, but only a few hundred meters away from the town, and they could only walk there. However, when the four of them came to the city gate, they were stopped and waited for a day and a night to complete the formalities for entering the city.

Samuel protested against not being able to return to the city directly, and Lustma said that this kind of thing was normal, and there were many large magic arrays set up in the cities of political, commercial and military centers, including restrictions on teleportation of magic. Otherwise, the territory of the teleportation array will not be uniformly located in the magic guild, and there will be a teleportation array in every corner.

Of course, someone whose strength reaches the standard of a great mage can ignore this.

Although Lorog has a high level of strength as the former chief shaman, the magic scroll does not represent his true strength. Lorog's teleportation magic alone is two different concepts from the teleportation scroll prepared for Samuel and others.

Knock knock!

"Huh, aren't you meowing?"

"Samuel, Vivien is in!"

Before a few hours had passed, Samuel, who had planned to sleep until the next day, was woken up by a knock on the door and the sound of talking.

"Why are you coming in!!

Forcibly woken up, Samuel was still sleepy, and when he saw Vivian, he was on fire in his stomach, and sat up and glared at her fiercely.

"Sure enough, just like Sister Ruth said, Samuel, you're angry with meow!"

Vivien held a plate of fruit and passed by the table and put it down.

On the way over, Vivian and Hima couldn't help but buy a lot of meows for grilled fish? Vivian and Hima have no concept of coins...... Meow?"

"Just put it here, meow !!"

Vivian took out the money bag and put it at Samuel's side, "Vivien is out!!"

“…… I'll take it. ”

The anger in her heart was gone, and Samuel nodded at her.

Vivian walked to the door, looked back and remembered something, and said something more.

"Samuel, you have to eat meow, you can't sell the fruit!"

“……”

Samuel rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Vivian came out and closed the door, his heart, which was almost holding his breath, finally returning to its normal beat.

"Meow meow, meow, Samuel is too easy to get angry meow, I really don't understand why Samuel likes money so much!

"What a meow...... I don't understand meow, I feel very uncomfortable being hated by Samuel!"

"Forget meow, I'm going to thank Sister Ruth for meow!"

The next day, Samuel got up and gathered with everyone to have a bite to eat at a nearby restaurant.

"I contacted Lolog last night, and we're going to go to the temple branch, and it just so happens that the head shaman is here too, and we're going to report to him all about his experiences in the Boundless Forest. ”

Ruthma picked up the cup and drank some water, and said to the other three.

"Isn't this part of the mission, isn't our mission now to find Popin?"

Samuel immediately answered, "Let's report to the head priest of the temple what happened, if there is a pay, how much is the pay?"

"Of course, you can rest assured that the remuneration will be abundant. ”

Hearing this, Samuel's mood began to rejoice.

"This guy really likes Qian Meow!"

Jima's breakfast was the same fragrant grilled fish as Vivian, and after a few words, she was not interested.

Samuel's breakfast is two pieces of white bread, the portion is not small, the texture is very soft, the taste is not too sweet, and after the last bite is swallowed, the feeling of fullness is just right. In the past, Samuel didn't pay attention to material comforts, even if the bread was not very expensive, but it felt good to have money in hand.

After earning enough money in the future, Samuel is thinking about buying a manor, like a noble lord without worrying about running out of money, of course, it would be best if he became a real nobleman, that is also Samuel's biggest dream.

After breakfast, they walked in the direction of the temple branch.

"Compared to last time, I think the number of people on the street has doubled. ”

Samuel vaguely felt that something was not right, and could not help but remember that he had been stopped and waited for a day and a night when he entered the city, but the soldiers guarding the city could not give any reason, as if they were deliberately hiding something important.

However, it has nothing to do with him.

Getting paid by the Master Shaman is the goal of the mission right now.

Most of the guests who came to the temple branch were Terrans, and when two of the four people were cats, it was immediately rare, and the aliens did not believe in the four gods, and they did not believe in this set, and it was a very rare case to come to the temple even if it was a branch.

Ruthma introduced the knights of the branch, saying that her group was recommended by the former head shaman of the Vermilion Bird Temple, Lolog, and had something to meet with the head shaman of the local Xuanwu Temple.

Even if it was the previous chief shaman, who was also the most important big man in the temple of the four directions, hearing this name, the knights of the branch did not slack off, and immediately ran to inform the chief shaman of the fact that he had important guests patronizing.

"The four of them came in time, the elder shaman has not left yet, if a few of them come five minutes late, they may not be able to see the elder shaman. ”

"There are more knights and priests in the branch than I'm used to, is there something going on?"

Ruthma asked without scruples, she knew more about the affairs of the Sifang Temple than the rest of the team, the status of the Sifang Temple's shaman, chief knight and high priest was second only to the emperor in the country, but the believers who owned the entire continent would not be too outrageous in terms of equality. Not an important event, these three dignitaries usually stay in the temple headquarters, and visit the branch once a year, that is, at the beginning of the new year to send good wishes to the various towns and people with branches.

There won't be a single time in hundreds of years like Lorog who quit his job as a shaman head priest early.

"I'm sorry. ”

The knight of the branch shook his head and smiled, not answering the question.

The knight took them to a door in the innermost part with the original pattern of the beast god, and was about to reach out and knock on the door, when a figure suddenly broke into the front of the hallway, and looked surprised when he noticed Samuel and the others, but ignored it.

"Master Jeppelry, you're here. ”

"He's in there, I have something to tell him, 100,000 urgent!"

The knight of the branch was a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "There are also important guests here. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know what your relationship is with the chief shaman inside, but I have a very urgent matter right now, so please wait a while, no more than ten minutes, and then come out after I see him, and then come back to you." ”

"It's okay, we can wait. ”

Rosema spoke first, and Samuel expressed displeasure.

"Hey, it's not ......"

"Shut up!"

"Thank you, although I don't know your names, I owe you a small favor, if you have any trouble, you can come to Jepére's house to find me, my name is Lance Jepéry. ”

"Tsk......"

Samuel was a little unhappy, this guy named Lance, I don't know what it has to do with the temple, he looks like he should be a nobleman, it's the kind of person who knows that the chief priest came to the branch to climb the relationship.

"This guy is good!"

Hima looked at the blonde young man who called himself Lance from beginning to end, and only withdrew his gaze when he entered.

"Mr. Knight, what kind of person is this guy? He seems to have a very strange magic meow, and his personality is much better than this stinky guy!"

"That's social rhetoric, the aristocrats are like that, only you haven't seen it!"

"The nobles and the temple will not have anything to do with each other, and the people who step into the temple openly are probably not ordinary nobles, let alone climb relationships. Samuel, speak well, don't put your stinky face out, just wait a few minutes. ”

“…… All right. ”

Samuel snorted, the knights who heard these words beside them were a little embarrassed, they were all important guests of the Sifang Temple, and if they didn't have a good relationship with each other, it would not be easy for the Sifang Temple to do it here.

"A few guests, this young lady is right, the one who just entered is not an ordinary nobleman, and the lord became a dragon slayer knight some time ago. The sword at the waist of Lord Jepery is the Sword of Thunder among the seven divine swords. ”

"Excalibur! wouldn't it??"

"Meow, this is not unusual. ”

"Meow, Excalibur is very powerful, meow?"

"I see. ”

"I haven't even seen the Sword of Light and the Sword of Water, when did a Sword of Thunder suddenly appear......"

In that case, it is really a character who cannot be easily offended, Samuel secretly regrets that his attitude just now was so rash and presumptuous. Fortunately, the other party didn't care, but ah, the one who can get the recognition of Excalibur must not be a simple guy, so it's better to be careful next time.

"Your Highness is awake! Let's go to the palace immediately, without further ado!!"

The first thing he said when he entered the room was the news, and Lance's expression was already extremely anxious, and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Slow down, I see, you sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

The head shaman, Kozmo, asked Lance to sit down first, "Yesterday I left His Highness halfway because of another important matter, I was going to stay by his side and wait for him to wake up, but I didn't expect His Highness to sleep for so long after the change in the middle of the way." ”

"What kind of tea do you drink?"

"There are some things to think about in advance, please calm down, didn't you think deeply about the reason why I and the chief knight arranged for the priests and knights to enter the palace for a carpet search? That's because the place where His Highness happened is in the palace, and His Highness has secret guards around him anytime and anywhere, as long as His Highness leaves the palace, the prince will get the news. ”

"This time, the place where the situation happened is the Imperial Palace, and the opponent is the Shadow Mage, to be honest, although we can't directly identify ourselves to the Imperial Palace. However, do you remember the story I told you, more than ten years ago, all three important figures in the Xuanwu Temple were sacrificed by the hands of the shadow mage. To tell the truth, there must be shadow mages lurking in Karanslan's palace, and it is very likely that the shadow mages are colluding with someone or some people in the palace. ”

"Do you understand the meaning behind this? We have taken this opportunity to get the knights and priests into the palace, and this opportunity must not be wasted, and you should not be too emotional to delay everyone's actions. ”

"Can you do it?"

"I don't care about that! I just want to find her! I will never forgive anyone who hurt her! I swear to the gods of the four directions that I will never forgive !!"

"I didn't expect you to be so excited, it's just that you have to remember one thing, you must listen to my command when you act, and what you want to do under this premise is your business. ”

Kozmo can't say anything, everyone has the most important thing for themselves, like who they used to be, as for the other thing, let's put it aside for the time being. Kozmo was thinking about other things, intervening in the internal affairs of a country was not the goal of the Temple of the Four Directions, and he hoped that after catching that shadow mage, the country would not be in chaos.

However, if it weren't for the rule that the Four Directions Temple was not allowed to contact the nobles, the Four Directions Temple wouldn't have spent so many years still not being able to find useful clues. The Shadow Mages are not stupid either, they hide in the shadows to seek opportunities, and they are also very good at exploiting the weaknesses of human nature, they are really cunning and cunning guys.

Opening the door, Lance and Kozmo saw several people waiting in the hallway.

"Who are these?"

Kozmo was a little surprised, and when he saw this, the young knights who were waiting with them immediately introduced each other's identities.

After knowing their identities, Kozmo remembered that the reason he left in the middle of last night was because he received contact from someone he hadn't seen for a long time, and that person was Lorog, the former head shaman of the Suzaku Temple in the southern part of the continent. At that time, when I heard Lolog's voice, I didn't remember who the guy I was talking to was, and then after being reminded by Cyrus, I realized that Lologh contacted Cyrus first and then contacted him.

Kozmo was not familiar with Lorog, and even during his tenure, Lorog did not have close contact with him, and the former head shaman, who had been cut off from the temple for many years, suddenly came to him one day.

Say that in a day or two, a few friends will go to the temple branch and bring extremely important information.

Lolog's friends refer to these current ones, and two of them are still cat people like Lolog.

"The reason why you're here Lorog told me in advance, I'm really sorry, I have an urgent matter that must be dealt with as soon as possible, and I'll talk about it when I get back. As he spoke, Kozmo instructed the young knight to entertain the men for himself.

Kozmo followed Lance and hurried away.

“…… Isn't it, we're going to have to wait?"
