XIV. Questioning

Neil couldn't hide his inexplicability and surprise on his face, looked at the guy who was hugging him hard, opened his mouth and subconsciously screamed in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ah......h

Dennis smiled brightly at Neil, let go of the hands that were holding Neil, rubbed Neil's head, and ruffled Neil's hair before standing up and saying to Neil, "Do you remember me? ”

Neil stared at the other party, saw the other party's gentle and friendly face, and said suspiciously, "...... Do you know me?"

"I'm Brother Dennis, don't you remember? I had a meal at your house half a year ago. Dennis half-crouched down and looked at Neil expectantly, hoping to hear an affirmative answer from Neil.

"I don't remember. Neil shook his head, telling the truth, completely unfamiliar with the man's face.

“…… Ah, for the ...... who only met once half a year ago? It's normal to have no impressions. Dennis looked disappointed and took a step back.

Neil muttered in confusion in his heart, had he really seen this person?

The priest standing behind Dennis couldn't help himself, and he stepped forward to interrupt their conversation.

"I'm sorry, Lord Dennis, but allow me to interrupt your conversation, who are these two?"

Dennis turned his head, glanced at the priest beside him, and then looked at the two children in front of him, "It's rude, I was so excited when I saw Neil, I couldn't hold back for a while, this little girl, are you Xia Li?" Dennis didn't intend to answer his subordinate's question, but walked directly to the little blue-haired girl.

Xia Li watched this tall man come to her, the clothes on his body were somewhat similar to the priest's robe he saw on the road, except for a golden badge on his chest, and some more gorgeous and beautiful patterns were added under the robe, Xia Li didn't know what the pattern was, but she felt very beautiful.

"Your clothes are different from other priests, are you the great priest?"

"Blue-haired and blue-eyed, I really look like a water tribe, and the daughter of Master Baker's friend named Cuoy, Miss Charlie Aget, you guessed it, I'm the Grand Priest. Dennis smiled at Charlie.

Neil didn't notice what Xia Li and Dennis said, he had been thinking about it since just now, thinking about what happened half a year ago. Neil was silent for a long time, and suddenly pointed at Dennis in surprise and shouted: "I finally remember, you are the guest who asked Uncle to cook by himself, and I remember being in the kitchen that time...... It's been a long time, and every week my uncle meets guests who come to his house in person, and it's really not easy to remember it, but fortunately I have a good memory. ”

Charlie's stomach was full of questions, and she looked at Neil and then at Dennis.

Dennis understood their doubts and knew they had a lot of questions they wanted to ask.

"It's all because I didn't prepare this work in advance, I really didn't expect to receive a letter from Master Baker the day before yesterday, and you will come here tonight, otherwise I would have prepared a welcome party. ”

Neil waved his hand and said to Dennis: "There is no need for the welcome party, Xia Li and I are not the same person, and the uncle also said that there is no need to exaggerate." Brother Dennis, I just want to know where the hell did he go, and why did you arrange for the mercenaries to take us to the temple?"

"Lord Baker's arrangement naturally has his intentions, and then, you can stay here, and you can come to me if you need anything, and I will try to arrange it." As for the rest, when Master Baker is free, he will tell you everything when he returns to the temple. ”

"Wait, what about my father? I left the harbor and I didn't receive any letter from my father. Charlie hurriedly called out to Dennis.

"Kuy? I'll send someone to keep an eye on the house where you live in the harbor, there's a temple branch in the neighboring town, and someone will go to that house every week to see if there's any correspondence or something. Regarding this matter, little Xia Li, you can rest assured. ”

"By the way, Xia Li has to take medicine every day, can this matter trouble you?" Neil remembered this and simply picked on Dennis.

"Do you have any of those pills with you?"

"Yes, I got it ready before I left. Neil untied the bag he had strapped to his shoulder, which contained various herbs.

"Is this a three-day serving?" Dennis took it and looked at it carefully for a while, and without waiting for Nile to answer, he continued: "I think I understand, this is the medicine that Lord Baker prescribed to little Charlie, it just so happens that most of the atrium is in full bloom now, and there are two other ones that are missing, and I will ask someone to buy them from the town." Xiao Xiali's medicine will not stop, Xiao Xiali will come to the kitchen after eating every day. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. Xia Li looked at Dennis, at this time, let's use honorific titles, such as adults or Your Excellency or something, after thinking about it, Xia Li felt that it was more appropriate to use the word Your Excellency.

"You don't need to be so outward, just call me Brother Dennis like Neil. As much as I admire Lord Baker, I am younger than Lord Baker, and I don't want to be called uncle. Dennis said with a smile.

Xia Li nodded, she still looked a little reserved, but Dennis was not too worried, the two children must be able to adapt to life here quickly.

"Then you can follow Aesop now, he will take you around the temple, and when your room is almost ready, go to bed early tonight." Dennis was talking about Aesop as the knight who had brought them in at the beginning, and Neil and Charlie followed the knight behind him and left through the door in the atrium.

Dennis stayed, accompanied by the priests beside him.

"Lord Dennis?"

Dennis spoke slowly, "One thing I've always felt sorry for is that Master Baker left too early. ”

"What are you talking about...... Is it?"

"That's right, it's my predecessor, the former High Priest. Dennyston paused for a moment and continued, "Unfortunately, few priests know his name now, and Lord Baker left the temple ten years ago. He gave me the position of the next High Priest at that time, and to be honest, I was really stressed from the beginning, busy with what he had to do after becoming the High Priest, and trying to convince him not to leave and return to the temple or something, but Lord Baker ignored it. ”

"In the past ten years, I have seen Master Baker on ten fingers. ”

With a look of remembrance, Dennis continued, "The first time I met Master Baker, he was injured quite a bit, but despite this, he continued to use magic to help those who were suffering, including me, and my life was saved by Master Baker. Later, despite the loss of my family, I did not consider myself unfortunate at all, because I met Master Baker, who took me to the temple and taught me and other children who had also lost their families to learn from me, starting with literacy and learning later. ”

"I'm really lucky that I wouldn't have been able to stay with Master Baker forever without the talent for light magic. The other children were different, some of them had no talent for learning magic at all, and they were ostensibly studying together, but they were actually ready to be treated separately. When they learned the same, even to the day they could be independent, they were sent out to various branches. ”

"I stay, I stay, I stay, I stay in this temple. ”

“…… I'm really lucky, Wright. At this, Dennis let out a deep sigh.

Wright was the name of the priest who accompanied Dennis, and he lowered his gaze in a respectful manner.

"It's all because we are under the care of the gods of the four directions, and the temple is our true home. ”

"The child named Neil was adopted by Lord Baker, I don't know where Lord Baker is now, what happened to him, in short, as long as those two children are still in the temple for a day, the temple must give them the best care. Wright, you know what to do. ”

"Yes, I won't say much about Lord Baker, and the identity of the two children, and in any case, I will take care of them as honored guests. ”

"They're just kids...... Nothing more. Dennis's words mean something.

“…… I understood that I would take care of them as if they were my own. Wright thought for a moment, and finally understood Dennis's thoughts.

Dennis left the atrium, and he told Wright to go back first, and he walked back to the room himself.

Dennis turned on the light in the room, walked over to the table, stared at the pile of paperwork, and sighed heavily.

"I still have to deal with this stuff alone. ”

Dennis sat down, took the first document from the top, flipped through it, glanced at it a few times, determined the general content, and picked up the pen to sign his name in a blank space in the lower right corner.

With each name, Dennis picked up the seal that was set aside and stamped it next to the name.

After ten or even twenty minutes, Dennis felt a little tired in his hands and began to count how many copies of the paperwork had already been signed.

"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...... Twenty-three, twenty-four......"

"I didn't expect to receive so many comments this week, and yesterday I signed hundreds of names, and I still feel very sore in my hands. ”

Dennis was about to rest for a while, he stood up, picked up his empty cup and walked outside, intending to get some hot tea.

When Dennis was about to open the door, he felt a fierce murderous aura and rushed straight at him.

The intruder who broke in with a murderous aura was the Knight Chief Dylan, just now he saw two strange imps on the side of the dormitory, the dormitory of the temple is different from the temporary guest rooms of the temple, the former is for the members of the temple, and the latter is a temporary preparation for the guests from outside. All in all, guests from outside are not allowed to enter the dormitory area, this is a restriction for guests, in addition to the dormitory, there are several places where outside guests are not allowed to enter the temple.

After learning the origin of the two imps, he immediately found Dennis, tonight Dylan was almost about to win a game but was interrupted by his subordinates, and a fire was actually gathered in his heart, and now when this kind of thing happens, Dylan pointed the finger at Dennis.

"Dennis!"

After Dennis came into contact with that murderous aura, he knew that he would definitely be injured if he collided directly, and he quickly chanted a low-level protective magic, the spell of this low-level magic was engraved in his heart, and with his ability, he didn't need to chant it all to be instantaneous. This low-level light shield blocked Dylan for one to two seconds, and within one to two seconds, Dennis cast another defensive spell, and in this way, he blocked the sword-wielding Dylan one after another.

"Lord Dylan, my door has no enmity with you, right?"

"What's going on with those two imps? You'd better explain it to me. ”

"I'll make it clear, but before we do that, we'll have to find Lord Danielle. ”

"What are you doing with the old man?" Dylan looked at Dennis in confusion. Daniel is the head shaman of the White Tiger Temple, and he has not retired because he has not been able to retire because he has not been able to renew him.

Dennis and Dylan find Priest Daniel, and the three enter between prayers.

The floor and walls between prayers glowed with a psychedelic blue glow, and Dennis blinked a few times before he adjusted to the overly bright vision.

"As for the two little guests tonight, let's start talking about it now. Dennis was the first to speak, and then explained the identities of Neil and Charlie.

Shaman Daniel touched the white and long beard on his chin and said slowly, "Dennis, do you know how Baker is doing?"

"That's right, what the hell is Baker thinking, leaving his adopted son here at will, without contacting us at all, he seems to have forgotten that he is no longer from the temple, Dennis, what explanation do you have?"

Dennis looked at Danielle and Dylan earnestly, his mouth moving and making a sound.

"About this ......"
