Since it is a "shrine", its scale is naturally much larger than that of ordinary houses.

It is actually a complex of more than a dozen houses, and its architectural style is different from the common civil and masonry structures in the city - there is no wood to be seen, only sand and gravel glued together;

In order to avoid ventilation, the outside of the building was painted with a miserable white mud - which made it even more uncomfortable to look at.

Except for the "main hall" at the front, which is supported by stone pillars, the rest of the buildings are not much different from ordinary houses;

This is the kind of place where the "Magges" live, and if it weren't for Orange Wind's luck and encountering him, he would have been sent to this kind of place to do penance.

The scale of the Purification Temple of Steelwood City can be described as the smallest level - just as Steelwood City itself belongs to the lowest level of "Viscount City";

At the back of the temple there was a small plot of land for growing vegetables and grain—they didn't have to worry about someone stealing it, and in fact, even if they were to be offered in both hands, only the starving would dare to ask for them.

Even if there were empty areas separating the temple from the city, no one dared to live in the city closer to the temple;

Add saw that Eclipse Moon didn't return to the temple in the first place, she first walked into an empty house nearby, and then changed into a set of equally wide light-colored clothes inside, which Eddie could tell at a glance that was the uniform style of the nuns;

Hmm, it seems that Eclipse Moon is still the one who purifies the temple...... Add nodded, and went over there to see what was going on.

Could it be that the headquarters of those people is the Purification Temple...... Eddie suddenly felt that the organization was becoming more and more inclined to-

Reliable.

There shouldn't be much thought of in this city about the relationship between the Purification Temple and the opposition to the Viscount, after all, the Temple is in people's impression that it is a place where witches live in secret, and there is a radiation that may kill people......

Tsk, it's just that who came up with the operation of robbing the prisoners? No wonder there was a quarrel. In Add's opinion, if it weren't for that, all the actions of this organization would have been close to full score.

It's just, the person in charge of the Purification Temple、Does she know about this?

Add felt the need to keep watching.

After confirming that there was no one nearby, Eclipse Moon walked quickly back to the main hall.

Although it is greatly restricted, the Magi is not yet at the point of "not being able to move around the city", and it is just that everyone does not want to see her.

After returning to the temple, Eclipse spoke with an elderly nun in the main temple;

Judging from the latter's rather calm expression, it seems that Eclipse Moon's departure is allowed......

After saying these words, Eclipse Moon left the main hall and went to what appeared to be a dormitory room, where she fell asleep on a straw mat.

...... Sure enough, I'm too tired to do it. With this in mind, Add began to look at the other rooms in the temple again;

Since the Maggie is not well received by everyone, everything has to be sorted out by itself;

Canteens, warehouses, and dormitories form the main body of the complex;

There seemed to be more than twenty witches in this "temple"—all of them were in one room, weaving baskets and baskets from the branches they had brought back from outside the city;

Since the prices are much cheaper than the usual supplies, there are still customers who will come back, and of course, it is not clear how many times they will have to wash them after they go back.

I can't see anything anymore...... Let's go and have a look.

"Let's find a tavern for a break. Eddie put away the optical analysis module and ordered to the crowd,

"When you're full...... Let's go to the Purification Temple and see if we can get any useful information...... or help. ”

Grayhand and Orange Wind thought that Add was going to go over to see if there was a magic queen who could conclude a contract, but in fact-

There's actually nothing wrong with that.

......

Eddie felt the need to improve the food for everyone, so the lunch dish had an extra soup in addition to the greens;

Possible...... It's always too shabby, and it will attract attention, Eddie comforted himself.

Just as he arrived for the meal, there were more people eating, and Eddie pretended to concentrate on eating, but his eyes would "wander" from time to time - in order to see the situation on the side of the Purification Temple, Add deliberately sat in the position facing the temple;

Unfortunately, Add was facing the Night Star...... As a result, this meal Orange Wind did not eat very pleasantly.

Add pretended not to notice Orange Wind's expression - if he had that energy, he should have focused on something more pragmatic;

For example, what the people around you talk about.

"Hey, haven't you heard, this time the beast tide is bigger than ever! Did you see those soldiers being sent out?"

"See, tsk, this guy, did the viscount send out all the soldiers under him?"

"How can it be...... Be careful, though, for I've heard that the brutes outside the city are a little denser than usual...... You're not going to nibble on all the food, are you?"

"Don't worry, the viscount also wants to eat, so many soldiers and the magic array on the head of the city, can't deal with the demonic beasts?"

"I wonder if we have to prepare for the back road in advance......

"You're just thinking as if you're safe if you run away......"

It seems that the inhabitants of the city have also noticed the threat of the beast tide. Every time he thought about this, Eddie felt more and more that Baron Blue Wolf was innocent of his death—mobilizing so many magical beasts without caring about the consequences......

As for taking the opportunity to sneak into the city, Eddie doesn't thank him at all. If you really want to go into the city, there are many ways to go...... It's nothing more than spending a little more time.

After lunch, Add led the three of them in the direction of the Purification Temple.

There may be a reason for leaving the main city, but Eddie can see from the distribution of the main places on the map that there are indeed fewer people here;

The impression on the road is that there are still people in the previous block, and there are a few empty windows in the next block;

Next ...... Almost half of the houses are occupied.

After all, Maggie also passes through this street when she occasionally goes out shopping for supplies, and anyone who has a little savings will choose to move out of here - there are plenty of empty houses in the city anyway.

Getting closer, the two sides were already like the area near the city walls that Eddie had seen before;

The houses were all empty, and many of them even had grass growing by the windows......

Looking along the street, there was the Purification Temple, which looked like it hadn't been repaired for a long time;

It is different from the fixed viewing angle seen in the optical analysis module...... If you see it with your own eyes, it will look more and more sad.

The buildings on both sides of the street receded and soon ceased to exist entirely;

The main hall, surrounded by desolation, was even more dreary at this time—but not dead.

Out of the main hall came an elderly nun, who seemed to sense Eddie's presence—no, in the silence of the place, it was not unusual for her to hear the footsteps of the four.

"Welcome to the temple - are you here to pray for blessings, or to donate, or to ask for ......?"
