Twenty Latent
Dylan walked into the cafeteria with a happy face, followed by several knights one after another, and Dylan, who walked in front, greeted the people sitting around him, until he found that Dennis was also eating breakfast in the cafeteria, and there happened to be an empty seat over there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dylan turned back to the knights behind him and said a few words, then strode towards Dennis's seat, and came to the table, where Dylan was about to sit down, and felt that the sword beside him was an eyesore, so he put the sword down on the table.
"Good morning, Dennis, and two little ones. ”
Dennis was not surprised that Dylan would be here, he was a little surprised that Dylan was so happy early in the morning, Neil and Charlie politely said good morning to Dylan, and continued to chew their food.
Dylan nodded at them, he was in a good mood, and looked at Dennis: "It's really rare to meet you in this kind of place, I always stay in the room and eat alone for more than three hundred days a year, and every time I ask Wright to go to the cafeteria to get two servings, today the sun rises in the west." ”
Dennis chuckled softly and said to Dylan, "Don't taunt me anymore, it's you, shouldn't you have won a few games before you came over?"
Dylan bent his shoulders, his head almost on the edge of the table, faintly suppressed trembling, and looked up a few seconds later, the smile on his lips proving that Dennis had guessed correctly.
Dylan counted three fingers, "It's been three weeks, and I've finally won twice." ”
Dennis shook his head, "Your gambling luck has always been pretty bad, it's not easy. By the way, he glanced at Dylan, and what he didn't say was that the reason why Dylan's gambling luck was so bad was probably the punishment of the four gods for his dissatisfaction.
Dennis just thought about it and didn't say it, otherwise Dylan would have blamed himself for ruining his fun.
"Little ones, what else do you want to eat? I happen to have some money in my hand, so I'll give you some. Dylan turned his head to look at Neil and Charlie, who politely said that she was full and couldn't eat much.
Neil stared at Dylan, two bowls in his hands, and turned his head to look at the sword on the table.
"Uncle Dylan, thank you no, I've eaten enough, put your sword down, my bowl has no place to put it, I can only hold it in my hand. ”
Dylan raised an eyebrow, which was a precursor to his anger, Dennis noticed that Dylan was about to get angry, and hurriedly stopped: "Dylan, that's enough, don't stare." Neil, Charlie, I've eaten too, let's put the empty bowl over there. ”
Charlie immediately stood up and followed Dennis, and Neil grimaced at Dylan and followed.
“…… Tut. Dylan felt unhappy, it was rare for him to be kind, and those guys didn't appreciate it.
Dennis took Neil Charlie to the place where the dishes were placed, and after the three of them left, Dylan turned back into a person sitting at the table, and two knights at the next table immediately stood up and came to Dylan's side.
"Lord Dylan, can I sit here?"
"Please. Glancing at them, Dylan said angrily.
"Lord Dylan, I don't want to talk about work here, but before I came into the cafeteria, I received a document and placed it on your desk. He spoke as a small knight sitting across from Dylan, who was a little shorter than Dylan.
"Joel, I'll see it when I get back. ”
The knight Joel looked around, leaned forward, and lowered his voice.
"The paperwork was stamped with a red seal. ”
"Red badge?" Dylan's eyes widened, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
"I see, don't say it, so do you. Dylan collected his thoughts and commanded the knight sitting next to him.
"Yes, Master Dylan. ”
"Then I'll go get some things first. Dylan stood up and walked forward, and when he passed two tables nearby, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the cafeteria, which made Dylan turn his head.
Dennis walked towards the door with two imps, and happened to meet Daniel, an old shaman, who walked in from the outside, Dennis said good morning and leaned sideways to let Daniel go first.
"That's a rarity, Dennis. ”
"Lord Danielle, I've heard this more than once today. ”
Old Danielle looked around and spotted Dylan, the chief knight, who nodded at Dennis, "That's right, it's a coincidence. ”
"When are the three of us sitting together for a cup of tea?"
"There's always a chance. Dennis paused, then said to Daniel, "Speaking of which, that time is almost here, and there is still more than half a year. ”
"At that point, it's going to be a bit more preparing. ”
"Indeed, I'm looking forward to those days. ”
After a brief pleasantry, Dennis says goodbye to Daniel, and Dennis leaves the cafeteria with Neil Charly. In the corridor outside, Dennis bowed his head and said to them, "I am going to the front hall now, there will be a prayer in the future, I hope you will hear it, and as for what the prayer is, you will understand when you see it." ”
"Lord Dennis. Shortly after saying this, Dennis saw Wright hurrying this way.
"Lord Dennis, the prayer is about to begin. ”
"Got it, I'll go over immediately, I'll leave this to you, it's hard work. ”
Wright took the lunch box that Dennis handed to him, stood sideways, and watched Dennis and them walk away.
Dennis led them forward, each in groups of threes and twos, scattered throughout the temple, knights on patrol, priests talking to guests, and shamans who had been in the library for a long time and finally couldn't help but get out for a breath of fresh air.
As long as they passed, Dennis introduced their names to Neil Charlie one by one, the two children had only been here for a few days, and there were many people who did not know each other, but Dennis did not expect them to remember the names of these people at once, just to familiarize themselves.
For Dennis, the faces of everyone in the temple are quite familiar, and even basic things such as what year he entered the temple and what his name is are completely difficult for Dennis.
Before the official pass, Dennis almost forgot one thing, "Little Neil, little Charlie, you mentioned letters or something before, right?"
"Dad has his own job, he's busy, he writes to me every week, Uncle Dennis, if the letter from dad ......"
"That's it, don't worry, the temple has a unified person in charge of receiving letters, I saw the letter from Cuy, so I asked Wright to hand it over to you, Wright is the priest who just walked over, he is my deputy. After Dennis finished speaking, he looked sideways at Neil, and said in a gentle voice: "Also, Neil, I received a letter from Lord Baker before you came to the temple, and in addition to the fact that you will come to the temple, Lord Baker personally told me that even if I come to the temple, I have to do my homework." Come to me at eight o'clock tonight, and I'll take an hour to lecture you, and, of course, your homework. ”
Neil muttered reluctantly, "Please, Uncle Dennis, why do you have to study?"
"Because this is Lord Baker's order, you can't slack off in your studies. Dennis looked at Neil's bitter melon face and smiled kindly.

Three more days passed, Neil and Xia Li lived in the temple for a week, Neil finally became familiar with the rhythm of life in the temple, and the days were quite pleasant, Xia Li was also used to the air of the temple, used to the soft bed in the dormitory, and no longer suffered from insomnia and poor spirits.
In the evening, the priest Wright came and knocked on the door, and Xia Li was the only one in the dormitory room, and she would go back to her room to take a nap every afternoon from four to six o'clock. Xia Li slept very lightly during this time, and as soon as there was a knock on the door, she was woken up.
Xia Li, who got up and went to open the door, found that the priest Wright was coming, and greeted her twice, and Wright handed the letter to Xia Li and left.
Xia Li closed the door, saw that the envelope did not have any signature, and immediately opened the letter, took out the letter inside, and opened it to see the familiar handwriting.
"Father......" Xia Li reached out and stroked each word on the letter, something wet leached out of her eyes, she blinked, but it was irrepressible and slid down her cheeks.
"I miss you so much......"
How much Xia Li wished that Cue could come back to see herself, during this time, she had been in contact through letters, Xia Li really wanted to talk to her father in person, and hear her father's voice with her own ears.
Xia Li wiped away her tears, waited for her emotions to ease, stopped the infinite sadness and longing that filled her heart, and then began to read the letter word by word.
"Dear Xia Li, I'm sorry that I haven't been by your side during this time, I will definitely come back if I have the chance, and the days before I return, so that you don't need to continue to stay at your friend's house. ”
"Xia Li, are you doing well? If you are not feeling well, you must tell Baker, he is my best friend, and I believe he will arrange your life. Also, don't worry about me, I'll finish what I'm doing as soon as possible and come back to see you. ”
Xia Li read the letter over and over again, and her father wrote the letter in a hurry, with only two short paragraphs on the whole page, both of which were those contents, only telling herself not to worry, without any explanation for her situation.
Xia Li didn't know anything about her father, she didn't know what her father was doing, and she only knew whether her father was doing well.
"I'll be obedient, I'll wait...... Father. Xia Li swore to herself and wiped the tears from her eyes again.
"Charlie, I'm back!" Neil opened the door and walked in, calling Charlie's name.
Xia Li turned around and folded the letter, there was no pocket on her body, so she had to hide the letter in the cuff, Xia Li patted her face lightly, and was about to turn her head when Neil stood behind her.
"What's wrong, isn't it comfortable?"
"No, it's okay......"
Neil looked at Xia Li, and after a while, nodded slightly, "That's it...... You...... Have you ever cried?"
"Crying? ”
“…… Also. Despite saying that, Neil still looked directly at Xia Li, and his gaze made Xia Li can't help but look away.
“…… It's just that I just received my father's letter, and I was so moved...... "His gaze and his words made Xia Li feel like she couldn't hide it, and her heart was churning, making Xia Li casually mention what she had just done.
"Impressed?"
"Don't talk about it again!" Xia Li didn't want to say anything more, and her words became excited.
"I'm sorry......" Neil pondered in his heart, pondering for a long time, but he couldn't figure out Xia Li's current mood.
"It's almost time for dinner, you better rest here, what do you want to eat, I'll help you get a copy back." ”
"Whatever......" Xia Li's voice was muffled, and she walked to the bed, turned the quilt over, and lay down.
