XV Temple
The days are approaching autumn, and the golden sunlight is sprinkled on the flower bed plants in the atrium, faintly coated with a layer of hazy gold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The plants in the info flower bed sway in the wind, making it feel lively and lively.
That morning, Isolt the knight came to the atrium, but to Aesop's embarrassment, there were two tails behind him.
"I won't say anything if you follow me to the atrium, don't pick up the things here. ā
"Let's get some fresh air. Neil glanced at Xia Li, "This is what we do every day, Uncle said that the fragrance of some flowers helps to refresh the mind, which is conducive to Xia Li's physical recovery." ā
"That's your business, I already showed you around the temple last night, you know where the cafeteria dormitory and chapel are, so there's no need to follow me. Isolt was not happy that the two imps were following him, his job was to patrol the inside of the temple, and since breakfast in the morning, every guy he met on his patrol had a funny look on his face.
Isolt didn't like to see the smiling faces of the priests or knights, and she wasn't the babysitter for these two imps, so why let herself take these two children with her.
"I warn you, follow along, don't make trouble, I still have important patrol work to do!" Isolt glared back at them.
Neil grimaced at Isolt, who was not intimidated by the look on his face, though he was afraid of the sword the knight was carrying. Xia Li too, Xia Li was originally more daring than Neil in dealing with strangers, except for those who were not good, after all, the people of the temple were not bad people, they were trustworthy, and Xia Li was not worried that they would hurt herself.
"Mr. Aesop, I have a few questions for you. "Charlie is very polite.
"Brother Aesop, don't be so stingy, Lord Dylan, the Knight Chief, told you to take us with you!" Neil said, his hands folded on his waist and a smug expression.
"I don't have a brother like you. Aesop blackened her face.
"I'll tell Uncle Dylan. "Last night, after Isolt had taken them around the temple, on their way to the dormitory, Neil and Charlie met two other big men who had the real say in the temple, the chief knight Dylan and the shaman Daniel.
Hearing this, Aesop's face darkened a little.
Knight Chief Dylan personally instructed Aesop to take time out of work to take care of Neil and Charlie, implying that he would keep an eye on them and not let these two imps affect the temple too much.
To be honest, Isolt wanted to refuse the mission, and the two imps had been pestering themselves since the early morning, unable to hide or drive away.
In addition to patrolling, Aesop also has an additional mission, which is to become the babysitter of these two imps, and incredibly, in addition to the knight chief Dylan, the high priest Dennis and the shaman, Lord Daniel, all agree with this idea.
Isolt didn't know about the previous High Priest, and High Priest Dennis didn't tell him in detail, and the rest of the temple only knew about two more important little guests, and the rest of the origins were unknown. Neil is Baker's adopted son, and Baker's relationship with the temple is known only to a few people.
The time spent in the atrium was almost up, and Aesop led them out of the atrium, and Neil Charlie saw the people of the temple approaching them, in fact, they noticed one thing.
"Brother Aesop, why do some knights wear different styles of armor? Just like there is a class relationship between a knight and a chief knight, between a priest and a high priest, between a priest and a chief priest?"
Aesop glanced back at Neil in surprise, not expecting a little imp to notice such a detail.
"The newcomers to the temple wear the most ordinary clothes, and the different levels are different, and the higher the rank, the better. The armor of the knight chief The robe of the high priest and the mage robe of the head shaman are specially custom-made, and only those in that position can wear them, regardless of the appearance of the appearance, just talk about the inside, which has a fairly high resistance to physical and magical attacks. ā
"Like Brother Aesop, what level is your set of armor?"
āā¦ā¦ Me?" Isolt regretted talking to Neil about this kind of thing, and for some reason, he had the feeling that he would be hit by a child if he said it.
"What level?" Neil and Charlie looked at Aesop curiously.
Isolt looked ugly again, "You guys...... I've said enough, unless you want to be a member of the Temple, I don't need to explain it to you clearly. ā
Neil blinked, "If you don't tell me, I'll ask Uncle Dylan!"
āā¦ā¦ There is no need. The corners of Aesop's mouth twitched, he wasn't worried that they would actually go to Dylan, he was worried about where Dylan was at this time, what he was doing.
Everyone in the temple knew that Knight Chief Dylan was not good in other ways, and there was one aspect that made people feel annoyed all the time.
Isolt regretted standing guard at the entrance of the temple last night, and if she hadn't led them into the temple last night, she wouldn't have been given the task of keeping an eye on them. If they are not obedient, the problem is that they are not very peaceful, and Isolt is afraid that children who are too curious will be too difficult to serve.
Neil Charlie couldn't understand Aesop's complicated thoughts, and shortly after leaving the atrium, they followed Aesop forward, and in a short time saw many people they had never met.
Neil looked at them, looked up and asked Aesop, "Are those the guests from outside?"
Although Isolt looked very ugly, she still answered the question: "There are a lot of guests who come here every day, and most of them are in the front hall over there. ā
"Seems to be bustling over there?" Neil saw a large crowd of people gathered in the place Aesop was pointing to, and many outside guests gathered around the priest of the temple, not knowing what they were doing.
"Every day, the priest is there on stage to explain how to cure some common ailments and to explain the questions raised by the guests. ā
Xia Li suddenly said: "I won't go over there, my body is a little tired, I want to go back to the room to rest." ā
There happened to be several knights not far from them, and Isolt called out to one of them and told them to take Charlie back to the dormitory room.
Most of the people in the temple now know that the two little guests, Neil and Charlie, are different from those who have to spend the night at the temple, and they do not stay in guest rooms, but provide dormitories inside the temple, specially prepared rooms.
After Charlie leaves, Neil brings up the issue that had been overlooked.
"What rank of knight is Brother Aesop, stop hiding it from me!"
Isolt turned her head to look at Neil, feeling a deep powerlessness that would not satisfy the child's curiosity, and these questions would be brought up again.
"Well, I tell you, before I tell you, you remember one thing for me, and swear to do it, that whatever you hear and see in the temple cannot be said casually. ā
"So-secret huh?" said Neil, who I knew was the expression.
"Sort of, the Sifang Temple is four temples on the mainland, and the other three are not detailed, because I don't know much about it myself, so let's talk about the White Tiger Temple where I am. There are four levels in the White Tiger Temple, the highest level is the chief shaman, the chief knight and the great priest, and the three levels below that, from low to high, are the green rank silver and gold, whether it is a knight priest or a shaman, I belong to a silver knight, I can command the green knight, and those who have the green rank sign are basically newcomers. ā
"Does it have anything to do with the color of the costume?" Neil witnessed that clothes and styles were different between knights and knights, between priests and priests, and even between shamans and shamans.
"The things that represent our identity have nothing to do with clothes, mainly this. Isolt gestured to his left shoulder, and Neil looked over to see a badge pinned to Aesop's left arm.
"Having said all this, I'm not afraid to tell you again, people at the green level will wear this badge on the wrist of their left hand, those with silver rank will be pinned to their left shoulder, and those with gold rank will get a chain to string the badge and wear it around their neck. As for the knight-captain level, you've seen it all. ā
"I thought it was a matter of clothing, but it turned out to be a badge. ā
Isolt didn't know what to think, but he suddenly smiled, and he changed his serious face just now.
"The temple is very free in this regard, and we can make some changes to the clothes we like, but the styles are mostly the same. For example, if you make more patterns at the hem or something, the biggest change you can make to your clothes is to change it to your favorite color, which is the bottom limit. ā
"I add this to you, and I hope you will remember not to offend anyone because of it. ā
"What, adults who care about children are not good adults. Neil shrugged: "I haven't met such a stingy adult until now, there shouldn't be such a person in the temple, I'll remember Brother Aesop's kindness." ā
"Let's go to the front room, I swear I won't mess with it. Neil said solemnly to Aesop.
While talking to Neil just now, Isolt stopped, and the patrol route was temporarily stopped, and now he was urged by Neil to walk forward quickly.
Several images flashed through Aesop's mind, and when she was Neil's age, her energy seemed to never run out, giving her family a headache every day.
Last night, Neil followed Aesop around the temple, from the atrium to the antechamber, and then from the internal cafeteria and dormitory, the library, the rare plant cultivation room, the utility room, and so on. Of course, there are also the bedrooms of the chief priest of the knights and the chief shaman, which cannot be entered without permission, and between the prayers that only the three of them can enter.
Neil had a rough idea of what rooms the temple was, and he was following Aesop now, just to be more familiar with it, so as not to forget.
