Seventy-two
After turning around in the woods for most of the time, with a familiar figure not far away, there were exclamations from Hima and Ruthma. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Really fake?!Really met an acquaintance!!"
Samuel rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had read it wrong.
"Meow!!!
Hima trotted in the direction where Xia Li was, and the others followed.
"That person is a friend of Himma's?"
Lilil asked the other two, and Rosema shook her head, "Not friends, just knowing each other." ”
"Meow?"
"What do you ask, those guys don't have any friendship with us!"
Samuel muttered, looking a little reluctant.
I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, but in fact, I didn't know much about each other, and that experience just made them have a relationship with each other. After passing over, Samuel happened to hear the other party's question.
"You ...... How did you end up here?"
"I also want to know about this meow! I didn't expect to meet your meow here!"
"What do you mean?"
"Speaking of which, you're the only one, have you ever touched a suspicious person's meow here?"
Xia Li tilted her head, looking unable to understand why they were here.
……
…………
Fifteen minutes later, after some conversation, the two sides finally figured out why they were here.
When Xia Li was talking, she hid Yoo'er's true identity and only said that she was looking for someone with a special identity.
"I see, you're looking for a cat guy named Popin...... Shadow Mage, no wonder I didn't see Vivian, it turned out that this kind of thing was happening......"
"I don't know which guy it is, set up a teleportation array here, a few of us came here recklessly out of nowhere, it's really a coincidence!"
"yes, I didn't expect us to meet halfway through. ”
Xia Li had a bright smile on her face, "Maybe this is the favor of the gods of the four directions, let's not talk about this, as I explained to you just now, if we want to get out of this dense forest, we must destroy this black stone." ”
"I've found two of them just now, and there are probably many more in this place, and others are also looking for black stones in other places, and I believe that all the black stones will be found soon, and Ami will probably be found at that time. ”
"Sword of Light, what's wrong with the Sword of Light?"
Ruthma cared.
"I think it's probably the same as us, trapped in this dense forest, and when Ami is not there, it's really a little lonely. Xia Li was faintly worried about Ami in her heart.
"Even the Excalibur can be trapped, this place is really incredible, what do you think?"
“…… Yes. ”
Ruthma had a thoughtful expression.
"Then let's help too, meow! Hurry up and get rid of the black stone, then we can know why the teleportation array is here, and maybe we can find the guy who did this kind of thing!"
"Also, it's meow, too! Although Lilil doesn't understand it, Lilil supports Jima's opinion!"
A few people began to help, helping Xia Li find the remaining black stones.
"Here!"
"Just dig up the dirt, how deep does this thing have to dig?"
"About a meter? ”
"I'm good at elemental magic, I'll leave the magic to Hima!"
"I think it's more useful to use fire-based flame bullets, and I've used a few magic scrolls before, and fire-based ones are more effective. ”
"Meow!
Samuel and the others walked a little farther away, so as not to be affected by Himma's magic, and watched not far away as Hima waved her wand, and several palm-sized crimson flame bullets emerged from the top of the wand and hit the target ground.
"Meow, there's a meow, come here, meow!
Hima crouched down and looked at the pit in front of her, where a charred black stone was still smoking.
"Tsk, a few bullets can do that. ”
Looking at the pit in the ground, Samuel smacked his lips.
"Meow!
"Envy? not yet. ”
"What a mouth-wrenching meow!"
"Just make it up. ”
"You guys......"
"That formation really scared Lilil......
Next, they searched for other Blackstones and joined up with the other two.

Today, in the Suzaku Temple, it is a more important day.
In a flat area behind the temple, there were multiple teleportation arrays.
From the morning, Duru came here and breakfast was a loaf of bread which was settled here, and lunch was a bowl of noodles. However, before nightfall, someone came in a rage, grabbed Duru by the collar, and his eyes were blazing with rage.
"It's been a whole day! I'm hiding here and being lazy, and I'm still looking for it!"
"Edward, don't be so rude, is it necessary? ”
"You know that so many people are looking for you!"
"Wouldn't that be okay with the other priests? Come here! I researched a new way to eat it, chili mushroom bread with hot pot soup. ”
"What's that, isn't it hot enough? you guy...... Besides, you can't drink the soup of the hot pot!"
"Wouldn't it be nice to try it? Don't say anything unhealthy, you can let go of your hand, your robe is messed up. ”
“…… Try this again next time. ”
"Hey, who asked everyone not to approve my leave, Eden has been absent all this time, but I envy him a little. ”
"Don't say such things, why should they let their guard down when they should be vigilant?"
"I'm just in charge of healing, not like a shaman who delves into new magic, or a knight who is the guardian of the temple. "Durroux sometimes lamented that he was only in charge of smiling and healing, like a good-for-nothing vase.
“…… I wouldn't say that disgusting comforting thing to you. ”
Edward raised an eyebrow, and the small talk was over.
"I'm looking for you for nothing else, there's news, I just got information from the Xuanwu Temple between prayers, the results of the interrogation of that shadow mage. ”
"Really, it's as surprising as having a hot pot in front of you!"
What kind of parable is this...... In short, that guy has already revealed his real name, his real name is meaningful, continue the interrogation, and know more things. ”
"That's great. Duru nodded, "You're just in time, I've just been preparing dinner, let's eat together." ”
"Mushroom bread and hot pot soup? ”
"Don't refuse right away, I swear to the gods of the four directions, it's absolutely delicious!"
“…… Why do you prepare three bowls?"
"Aren't you so busy that you've forgotten what day it is?"
"What day?"
"Ah, the teleportation array is lit up, it should be that he is back. ”
Duru looked at the magic array next to him, and saw that one of them was gradually glowing.
"You mean...... Eden?"
During this time, Eden first went to the Blue Dragon Temple, stayed for a few days after returning to the Vermilion Bird Temple, and then ran to the White Tiger Temple, and has been staying in the White Tiger Temple ever since. And today, it is precisely the day that Eden returns from the White Tiger Temple to the Suzaku Temple.
"You don't say I really didn't remember!"
Eden returned, and after the light of the teleportation array disappeared, Eden's figure appeared in their field of vision.
"Eden, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Duru waved his hand, immediately calling Eden's attention, and Eden pushed his glasses and saw a pile of utensils on the ground, as well as a cloth that had not yet been laid, like a picnic cloth for a picnic.
“……”
"Let's have a hot pot together!"
"Who's going to eat that stuff!"
Ignoring Edward next to him, Durrou continued, "Chilli mushroom bread and hot pot soup, the perfect match for my new invention! ”
“……”
"This guy actually ignores my ......"
Eden pushed his glasses and glanced at them.
"I've already eaten it. ”
Eden walked over to them, "It's good that you are all here, and I will stay between prayers for the rest of the day, and I will leave the affairs of the chief shaman to the other shamans, and don't bother me with any of you." ”
"What is this? Eden?"
"Laziness in another sense?"
"Neither. ”
Eden continued, "I went to the White Tiger Temple to visit Lord Danielle, and thanks to the favor of the four gods, Lord Danielle is in good health. I asked him a few things about ancient writing, and during this time I tried my best to translate a few ancient books that had been passed down between prayers. So, don't bother me. ”
The tone was bland and uninteresting, and both Edward and Durrous didn't find it interesting to hear it.
"Eden, you really work hard, you are so interested in that kind of difficult things, what is the point of translating it? There are not many high priests and shamans in the past who have learned ancient scripts, and Daniel is an exception to these ones. ”
"I think it's very necessary. He also glanced at Duru deliberately, "Moreover, it is no different from all the properties of hundreds of herbs that you memorize in a year, what is the problem?"
"So that kind of thing doesn't want to try a second time. ”
"Serious rhetoric! Is the temple really out of business? Eden?"
"In the short term. ”
In the end, Edward spread his hands, stared at the bespectacled chief shaman speechlessly, and sighed, "It's not easy to work, and here comes again." ”
"Come on, come on, sit down, even if you've eaten, sit down, Eden, sit down! Edward, don't stand there, sit down. ”
Duru began to spread out the picnic cloth, spread it evenly, put the bowls, put the hot pot away, straightened his robe, sat down on the picnic cloth, and opened the lid of the hot pot.
"I don't know why you're so keen on this kind of thing. ”
Eden looked at them for a moment, then decided to sit down.
"Well, I'll try it too. ”
People in high positions in the temple rarely have free time, and there are not many opportunities to get together and eat like this.
"I remember the last time three people sat down to eat like this was three months ago, right?"
"You remember it clearly. ”
"To be a priest, the first thing to do is to have a good memory, not only of every herb, but even of the name and face of every guest. Compared to you, the priest is engaged in diplomatic relations, and it is really hard. ”
"I can suddenly understand why you like this thing so much. ”
“…… It's too spicy. ”
Eden took a bite and felt like he couldn't eat it.
"There's water here. ”
Duru poured a glass of water and handed it to Eden.
"I'm really not fit for this kind of food, don't look for me next time. ”
"Okay!"
"I've said this more than once, but Eden's cold face is more convincing? ”
"Can I understand it as criticism in another sense?" Eden pushed his glasses.
"It doesn't mean that. ”
“…… Not to mention this, it's been okay here lately. Eden put down the water and asked the other two.
"It's been okay lately. Edward said a few things about the country, the attack on Grienel and his return to the Imperial City, as well as the tension that had become so tense throughout the empire during this time that the Council of the Six Nations.
"It's the same with the Blue Dragon Temple and the White Tiger Temple, the Six Nations Conference. ”
"And more!" Duru added, "There's news from the Xuanwu Temple about the Shadow Mage. ”
Durroux repeated what Edward had just said.
"I see. ”
"You're just going to say that, the reaction is too bland, isn't it? ”
"Dru, the first day you've met him?" Edward thought amused.
"What is this? You can't get enough of Eden's cold face?"
"I'm so sorry I've always been like this. ”

Every day, Danica goes out during the day and returns to the hotel at night.
"Danica, can I come in?"
It was Path's voice, and Danica answered, and Path walked in.
"What are you doing? Writing letters?"
"yes, it's been almost a week, I've been here longer than planned, and I'm going to report to everyone that I can't go back that soon. ”
"You're really diligent!"
Paz pouted, "I really want to go back, the imperial city is very prosperous, but it is not suitable for the poor who have no money." ”
"If you want to go back, go back. ”
"No, if you do that, Dawn will definitely keep talking about me. ”
"Hmph~ It's good that you know, don't talk about these boring things! Since you're so idle, I'll give you a task to help me find out what is sold and prices in every street and every shop in the Imperial City. ”
"Huh, what do you want to do?"
"On the way back we can make some difference. ”
"Haven't you run out of money?"
"How do you know I've run out of money, and how do we get back if it's gone?"
"I obeyed you, and I hid all this kind of thing. ”
"I don't need to tell you about the finances of the mountain town. ”
"It's boring!" Paz hugged the back of his head, "I'm going to get paid one-fifth of the difference I earn, and by the way, I'm going to be given a good outfit." You know! There are some shops that are not accessible to commoners, and I must at least pretend to be a servant of the nobility!"
"No problem. ”
"By the way, it's better to have Vance act as a servant of the nobles. ”
"Don't joke like that, even I can't just send Vance. ”
"Okay, I'll talk about it casually, then again, why has he always been out these days, and he hasn't come back yet. ”
"I don't know ...... either"
Danica stopped writing, Vance and Dawn have been living in the mountain town since they can remember, Dawn is okay, Dawn is his father's servant, and Vance's identity is special, the young people in the mountain city don't know where Vance came from, only the old man knows some of the inside story at that time. And the old man who knows these things is forgetful and forgetful, and the hard of hearing is not good hearing, Danica doesn't have so much time to talk to the old man in the mountain town about the past in order to inquire about a person's gossip.
"I'm still the same, don't you care?"
"You don't think I'm busy enough right now?" Danica was about to roll her eyes, these days, trying to find a chance to go to the park, but there was no chance.
As they spoke, footsteps could be heard in the hallway outside.
Paz heard footsteps and immediately went over and opened the door.
"Daun, you came back so late, why are you so mysterious?!"
“…… Paz is so idle. ”
Dare to pick up Vance's gossip.
