Early morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yeyue turned her back to the mouth of the cave where she had lived last night, and sat facing the rising morning glow in the eastern sky, thoughtful.

At this time, she was still disguised as a "Priest Wende" with the Scepter of Night and Shadow, wearing a simple linen robe, with a bag and cane by her side, and her body was even soaked in dew.

But even in this most ordinary clothes, under the bright glow, his straight back was like a fairy.

"Mercenary Captain" Susan was rubbing her eyes and coming out of the cave at this time.

She originally wanted to show her skills in the imperial capital, but last night she was pulled out of the warm bed, and in the early hours of the morning, she was forced to sleep in this damp, bug-infested cave.

If she hadn't been really sleepy, and she had her little maid Lajou's firm and soft knee pillow, she wouldn't have been able to sleep here.

"My boring home, I didn't expect it to be good in terms of bed."

If you don't sleep well, you will wake up early.

She simply got up early, wanting to complain to Wende, the culprit, and asked for an increase in wages by the way.

And last night, in order to show her mercenary qualities of not asking more and only doing things, she didn't ask anything, and she couldn't hide her nature when she was in a very bad mood at this time, she wanted to ask clearly.

Then, what caught her eye was the back of the other party bathed in the morning glow.

Questions and accusations had just come to his lips, but now he couldn't say anything.

She was rarely calm, gently holding on to the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and was delirious.

"Maybe it's not that bad here."

——————————————————————

Unfortunately, the romantic atmosphere did not last long.

The mercenary boy Kevin suddenly appeared from afar.

He was shirtless and looked like he had just returned from sword practice in the morning.

The young man also picked a bundle of firewood on his right shoulder with an old scabbard, and when he saw the two of them, he lit up the firewood in his hand as if he were invited, and walked faster and faster.

Looking at the dull smile on the boy's face, Susan's face turned red, but she immediately began to get angry for no reason.

Just as he was looking for a reason to reprimand this blind and tasteless guy, another unsightly figure quickly pounced.

It was the strange little girl named Mo.

She ran on all fours like a wild beast, and she was incredibly fast.

Obviously, she was going to appear in Susan's field of vision later than Kevin, but at this moment, she had turned into an afterimage and threw herself into the arms of the man who was sitting like a stone carving.

Susan felt that she still had something in her mouth, and when she looked closely, it was a gray, fat, airless hare.

It's also too dirty.

But the pretty-looking little girl did not seem to have such self-consciousness, and she first let go of the hares and threw them on the ground in front of Wende, then took out the other two from her bulging and dirty clothes, and looked at him expectantly.

The handsome priest did not show any impatience, but slowly took out his handkerchief from his bosom and began to wipe the little beastly girl's cat-like face with dirt, blades of grass and blood.

Seeing the beastly strange young girl obediently close her eyes, Susan felt even more unhappy.

She turned and re-entered the cavern, slumping heavily on Lajouna's lap, still in a knee-bollow motion.

The little maid looked like she was asleep with her eyes closed, but she smiled and touched Susan's hair.

Susan felt a fever on her face again, and she simply covered her face.

I don't know how long it took.

A burst of aroma of rabbit meat wafted in.

Cuckoo......

“……”

Again, Susan was embarrassed.

She rolled over and said, "Forget it, eat breakfast first." ”

As early as when they went to sea, Susan had already been conquered by the culinary skills that Wende occasionally showed at the time of his rise.

This is the first time I have had the opportunity to eat the rabbit meat he made, and I don't know how good it will taste.

And the minds of those little daughters just now have been expelled by their appetite.

————————————————

Three rabbits, two roasted, tantalizing grease falling in the fire and crackling; A soup mixed with some dry food and wild vegetables was obviously eaten by the poor, but the aroma was very good.

Mo alone has a roast rabbit and half a pot of soup, but everyone present is used to it.

It may not be enough to give her all three rabbits, so it is polite to take only half of them.

Susan didn't care about the shelves, took the roast leg meat that the little maid Laru had torn and handed over, and couldn't wait to take a bite.

Ah, it's delicious.

The heat is just right, and the meat feels like it's about to melt in your mouth.

I don't know what's added to it, but the delicious taste seems to hit my head.

It's not like a human being can make food at all.

"Even the so-called delicacies of the mountains and seas made by the cooks who were hired by my family with a lot of money can only be fed to the dogs compared to this rabbit meat."

If this person doesn't become a priest, he will definitely be able to be the best in the world if he becomes a cook.

While everyone was concentrating on breakfast, Kevin, who was usually stunned, couldn't help but start asking questions: "Mr. Wende, why did we leave Wright City overnight?" ”

Susan was annoyed that the stunned young man had snatched her lines while she was eating, but she didn't have the heart to scold him now.

The girl was still tearing at the rabbit meat in her hand, but her ears were already up.

"I have received reliable information that the Holy See has raided the Imperial Palace, taking advantage of the fact that most of His Majesty's henchmen are heading south and half of the Royal Praetorian Guard is gone. His Majesty has been arrested. ”

In a calm and half-truthful tone, Vande uttered the news that sounded like a thunderbolt to the two young men.

The two froze on the spot.

"Really? But how is this possible? His Holiness the Pope has always been His Majesty the Emperor's most faithful and reliable backing, hasn't he? ”

Righteous boy Kevin still refuses to believe it.

But Susan had obviously been exposed to this information, and she had come back to her senses at this time, and sarcastically said, "Do you really believe these nonsense propaganda for civilians? ”

"I still want to apply for a Templar qualification after I finish my swordsmanship......

Kevin looked frustrated.

"What? Do you want to leave my mercenary group? ”

The girl's eyes widened.

"No, it's not ......" The young man who accidentally confided his heart denied it weakly: "I just want to go there to learn more powerful combat skills, so that I can better serve the mercenary group." ”

Then, he didn't dare to look at the angry girl leader, looked at "Wende" as if asking for help, and changed the topic: "So, Mr. Shenguan, what are your plans next?" Are you a member of the church after all? ”

"Naturally, I am on the side of justice."

The handsome priest said calmly.

Looking at the young man who was still confused, "Wende" smiled and shook his head.

- Sure enough, we still need guidance.

Who is right and who is wrong at the top of the empire, this teenager really has no concept.

In the minds of the people of the Empire, loyalty to the royal family was of course justified, but the Holy See was also the embodiment of justice.

Moreover, behind the Holy See stands the great and loving Father.

"Since I escaped with you overnight, it naturally means that I am going to crusade against the false pope who usurped under the pretense of God's will."

Hearing such a heavy word, being said by a person in such an understated tone, the boy was shocked again.

But the girl took over the conversation with a slight frown at this time: "But why? Just a few of us? ”

"Naturally, according to the will of God, the expectations of the people, and—in the name of righteousness."

The priest smiled again.
