The Struggle Between Light and Darkness (26)
When the earth dragon landed in the frozen mountain range, the rest of the girls were almost blown blue, their lips were blue from the cold, and the wind blew so that the three girls held their arms and trembled, and their feet were almost unconscious, and they were still carried down by their respective knights.
Only Lily hid in Arturi's robe all the way, surrounded by his body temperature, and even slept for a while on the way, except for her hair that was a little messy when she went down to the dragon, her face was still rosy.
Everyone jumped down from this place, chose a quiet and uninhabited place, and took out their things to set up camp, it was too late now, although because this mountain range was covered with snow all year round, reflecting the light and it seemed that the sky was not yet dark, but there were too many dangers in this forest, and the old base camp of the Dark Temple was not far away, so it was no longer suitable for adventure, so a group of people decided to settle down first.
Several knights took out their belongings and set up camp separately, and when the competition was clear, they did not speak to each other, but went about their work, and the three holy women found linen from the backpacks they had brought, and wrapped their heads and faces tightly, and none of them said a word, but when they set up the tent in Arturi and pulled the lily in, Brian threw things away with a gloomy face and turned away.
The few people who came out didn't bring much with them, and the bad weather in the frozen mountains didn't seem to have an impact on Arturi. The tents of the several people were very far away from each other, and this time the news from the Temple of Light was that the Scepter of Light was placed on the altar of the Temple of Darkness in the Frozen Mountains.
In other words, this time, if the people of the Temple of Light want to grab the scepter. Then you must break into the Dark Temple base camp and enter the forbidden place of the people, and take the scepter from the altar.
Lily only vaguely felt that Arturi was very strong, but he hadn't seen him take action in person, and there would definitely be no shortage of guardians in the base camp of the Dark Temple, just with these few people, if they wanted to take away the scepter, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream. She huddled in a corner of the tent, Arturi lying on his back, unable to see his face in the darkness. But the warmth on his body seemed to dispel the ice under the tent. With an alluring warmth.
Neither of them spoke, and the tent was unusually quiet, and in the darkness you could hear the rustling of the wind outside, and the sound of the wind blowing through the woods reaching people's ears. The quietness and darkness of this mountain range are more and more revealed.
"The show begins." Suddenly, Arturi's voice rang out. There seemed to be a slight smile in his voice. As if to confirm what he said, not long after his words fell, a shrill woman's scream rang out.
"Ah......h Lily's subconscious body tensed, sat up all of a sudden, and was about to go out to see, but Arturi's hand accurately caught her wrist in the dark, his palm was very ambiguous, and it set off the coolness between Lily's wrists, the girl's soft skin was particularly smooth because of the cold, he rubbed his fingers twice, and he felt that the goosebumps on the back of Lily's hand had stood up.
He pulled open the shed, and the people scattered around were now attracted by the scream, even Brian, who had disappeared without a trace.
On a huge treetop, the knight who was originally pretending to be an ordinary mercenary was put on his head with a rope and hung on a treetop, the corpse was dangling, he was cut off his trachea, and a lot of blood was still pouring out, even if the blood that gushed out first had begun to freeze, but the wound was still dripping blood.
The moment he was hung up, he had his trachea cut and couldn't scream, and before that, although Lily was far away, he didn't smell blood, which proved that he had just been killed.
"The man who killed him hasn't run far yet!" Lily wanted to come forward to take a look, but as soon as she moved, Arturi pulled her tightly, and her eyes fell on the face of the candidate saint who was trembling and shivering, and the skin on her face, which was not completely covered by a turban in the night, was as white as snow, and her eyebrows were covered with a thin layer of frost crystals, and the eyelashes were long and curled, and her pupils seemed to have begun to shrink because of extreme fear, and she leaned against the treetops, and her legs trembled as if she could not stand on her feet.
"I, he, he went out to find water, I, I wanted to see him, found, found ......" She seemed to be frightened, and she couldn't even speak.
Seeing such a scene, several people were a little nervous, one of the holy women fell into the arms of her knight, and tears welled up in her eyes at once, but not long after these tears flowed out, they were blown by the wind, and they began to freeze, and she stammered:
"Here, here......" Before she could finish speaking, the knight behind her seemed to pinch her, and she quickly shut up and did not speak, but turned her head and buried her head in the knight's arms.
When Lily saw this, her eyes narrowed suddenly, something was not quite right with this trembling holy woman, her face was pale, not like she was scared, but like cold, and the strength of the knights sent by the temple this time was not even the best of the top rank, but it was not far behind, even if there were masters who could appear silently and kill them, it might not be possible to make so many people present not be alarmed.
On top of that, the saint's eyebrows were frosted, but her eyelashes were clean, which proved that she must have blinked her eyes because of nervousness before. And in the harsh environment of the Frozen Mountains, if she really wept sadly because of the death of her knight, just like the saint who had spoken halfway before, as long as she shed tears, there would definitely be some traces under her eyes, but she was clean.
She seemed to be very sad, but because she pretended to be too perfect, it made Lily a little suspicious.
Ordinary people must be more frightened than sentimental when they see such a situation, and she is sad so quickly that people can hardly feel her fear and panic.
The three saints were all covered with their faces, and they couldn't see her appearance clearly, Lily's eyelids drooped, and the hand that was grabbed by Arturi subconsciously pulled him tightly.
Everyone is silent, when they get here, everyone is considered a half-cooperative and half-hostile relationship, whoever gets the Scepter of Light, will have a more stable position in the Temple of Light in the future, everyone wants to become a saint, and they don't want to become a slave of others, otherwise why take this risk? The death of a knight proves that there will be one less competitor in this team, and the other two teams tacitly pretended to comfort a few words, and helped to put down the knight who was cut throat and hung up and buried it on the spot, the saint cried quietly, Brian helped bury the snow, looked back and saw Arturi holding Lily's hand, and then saw that he was now helping to bury the corpse, and a nameless fire surged up in his heart:
"Wouldn't the Grand Duke be willing to help? Seeing that a loyal knight has returned to the embrace of the goddess of light, doesn't His Excellency the Grand Duke want to say something? ”
He could see Arturi's malice and trouble, but no one said anything, but Arturi didn't look at him, his eyes swept over the saint who was squatting on the ground at this moment, leaning against the tree, burying his face between his knees, as if he was very sad, and soon his eyes fell on Lily: "I am not from the temple. ”
When Brian heard this, a nameless fire surged up in his heart, and he threw the snow in his hand and stood up at once.
Before, Arturi was strong when he was in the imperial capital, and he had no way to compete with Arturi, but now when he goes out, most of the people here are people from the temple, and Arturi doesn't even have an entourage around him, but he is still so arrogant, Brian's eyes showed a bit of murderous intent, and his eyes fell on Lily again, she didn't know what she was thinking, her expression was calm, but she could see that Brian's heart was angry one by one.
"Since you're not from the temple, this time it's the temple's internal affairs, why are you here?" Brian retorted loudly, and the other two knights looked at the scene in front of them with some embarrassment, but they were actually puzzled in their hearts.
Everyone knew about this mission, but before leaving, several archbishops told them that there would be Archduke Arturi on this mission, Arturi was not a member of the temple, he was not even a believer in the temple, and several people did not understand such a major matter, how could an outsider participate, but first, there was a sign from the archbishops, and secondly, Arturi's identity was there, coupled with the loyalty to the archbishop's order, no one opened his mouth to question, at this time Brian opened his mouth, although the two were silent, But they all turned their heads.
"I begged Archduke Arturi to accompany me, Brian, and you're a shame on me." She stood on Arturi's side, which made Brian's color completely black, and his eyes showed a bit of murderous intent, and he didn't know what to think, so he quickly lowered his head and didn't say anything more.
A few people buried the knight's body, the time is not early, tomorrow will continue to look for the address of the dark temple, everyone must take care of their spirits, several people returned to their own places, the girl who had been holding her legs raised her head, a little helpless:
"So now, what do I do now? I'm only one person, Miss Roman, and you already have Arturi by your side, can you let Brian guard me tonight? ”
Her eyes were like fawn, and although she was speaking to Lily, her eyes were looking at Brian.
The people of the Luolan Continent don't value chastity, and it is not uncommon for the candidate saint to have several knight lovers, but most of the people in the temple used to know the relationship between Brian and Lily, and knew that the relationship between these two people was different from that of ordinary knights and saints, that is, someone would throw flattering eyes at him behind his back, and it would never be possible to say it so openly and directly, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lily's mouth, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
