Chapter 42 God Says: No Early Love
The moon was bright and starry in the endless night sky, Ming Jue had a piece of wood under his head, and he lay calmly by the fire, but his face still maintained the appearance of being frightened and having just escaped.
On the side, Alena was bored with the twigs turning over the fire, struggling to understand those strange things in her head, and next to her, Sophia, who was worried about whether there would be ghosts in the Frost Grand Canyon, was nibbling on the roasted rabbit leg with a satisfied face.
"Sophia, you've started your dinner before you prayed. ”
"Didn't you say that it could be a little shorter on the outside? I just thanked the god of light in my heart. Sophia smiled mischievously.
Alena shook her head helplessly, tore off the other rabbit leg, and handed it to Ming Jue beside her: "You eat first." ”
"Thank you...... Thank you. Ming Jue took the rabbit leg tremblingly, and asked indifferently: "That...... Thank you, Reverend, for saving my life, really. ”
"It was Deputy Head Silum who saved you, no...... Not me. "Alena, who was called a priest for the first time, was obviously a little embarrassed.
"Why don't you thank me? I've stood up for you. Sophia said unwillingly.
"Hehe, that, thank you too, thank you, otherwise I'm going to be on the road alone again, you don't know ......"
"Flim, you even have the wrong name for the gods, and I don't think you're a native of Kaiadir. Sophia continued to laugh at Mingjue.
"I am, why am I not, you can go and check, my family lives in ......"
"Mingjue, come over here. ”
However, before he could finish speaking, Slem, who had finished patrolling the camp, came up to him and interrupted him, beckoning to him.
Ming Jue put down the rabbit leg with some worry and walked over reluctantly.
On the outskirts of the camp, several knights were taking off their armor at this time, dealing with the wind tiger little by little, for them, such extra food was a rare delicacy along the way.
And Slum looked at his busy subordinates, and did not choose to stop it, because looking at them, Slum couldn't help but think of his brothers who had been buried on the battlefield.
"I don't care who you are, it's best not to play any tricks on this way, and once you enter the territory of Honoris, leave me immediately. ”
"Regiment...... Captain, you ...... I promise that I will leave as soon as I get to Honoris. Ming Jue said hesitantly.
"Better so, I'll keep an eye on you. Slum didn't look back, and said word by word.
"Captain, you misunderstood...... That...... Then I'll go first. Ming Jue looked at the heavy sword on Si Luo's waist, which seemed to have the blood of the Wind Evil Tiger on it, and nodded helplessly and left here.
In fact, the periphery of the camp was still a short distance from the center, and Ming Jue, who had left the periphery, had only walked halfway and was stopped halfway through.
Ming Jue looked at the young knight in front of him a little helplessly, forging exquisite armor, and the cold steel long sword, it seemed that it was no different from other trainee knights, except for a ruby inlaid on the long sword.
"Hey, Knight, what's the matter with you?"
The boy had blonde hair and bright eyes, and seemed to enjoy Mingjue's title.
"I'm here to tell you that you'd better stay away from Sophia, she's only twelve years old, and she's not necessarily a priest at church headquarters in the future, or a priest, and you'd better not have any bad intentions, well, the one who eats the rabbit's legs. ”
The corners of Ming Jue's mouth twitched without a trace: "Of course, of course, but I really can't see that the priests are only twelve years old." ”
"The children of poor families have long been in charge, but the god of light will protect them in the future. The young man pretended to be an old man and sighed, and then waved the long sword at his waist to Ming Jue, and then turned to leave.
Ming Jue wiped his forehead speechlessly, and muttered in a low voice: "Does the God of Light want an oracle that doesn't want to fall in love?"
In the center of the camp, Ming Jue, who returned here, was still sincerely afraid, and carefully continued to gnaw on the rabbit legs, but Sophia suddenly asked:
"Is Ferrante looking for you? ”
Sophia pointed casually, and Ferrante, who was not far away, avoided her gaze in a panic, and didn't forget to give Ming Jue a threatening look before turning her head.
"Well, yes, Lord Knight is concerned about my injuries. ”
Sophia rolled her eyes: "You don't have to pay attention to him, he can actually be selected at the age of fifteen, isn't it because of his father who is the Minister of Finance, mixed with a bunch of children, and he is not ashamed." ”
Ming Jue in his heart: "(≖_≖)"
"Alright, it's time to go to bed, and I'll have to get up early tomorrow to get on the road. Alena mischievously shook Sophia's shoulder.
....................................
On the second day, everyone got up early in the morning and started their journey, and along the way Mingjue sat behind the horse of a member of the Order, observing Alena from time to time.
As he said, there were many fierce beasts and bandits in this barren mountain range, but in the end, the beasts became food, and the bandits also fled when they saw that they were people from the Church of Light.
Time passed calmly for more than ten days, Ming Jue leaned on his flamboyant tongue, and he had already mingled with the trainee priests, and he also tamed a wild horse on the road, so he didn't have to huddle with people anymore, but Slom was a little more wary of him, and someone even slept in the middle of him.
On this day, the sun was shining in the sky, and everyone who was hurrying was sweating profusely, especially the knights, whose armor was already soaked, but no one dared to complain, just because it was the sun.
Mingjue rode the wild horse leisurely, following Alena and Sophia.
"Well, I said, why don't they stop you? I see that the lads are all obedient to their control. ”
"Knights have their precepts not to do anything to ladies and children, and not to treat them roughly. Sophia held the grass in her mouth and stuck her head out of the window.
"What if anyone...... I mean, the lady is against the church?"
Sophia suddenly had a strange face: "Are you all decorations when you are the inquisition?"
"Sophia......" Alena touched her shoulder, signaling that she had said something more.
Sophia stuck out her tongue, threw away the grassroots, and retracted her head back into the window.
Ming Jue on the side was thoughtful, and for a moment there was no slippery head.
At the front of the line, Slum was riding his horse when his men asked:
"Commander, why have we been walking so slowly in the past two days?"
"You're about to be in Honoris, your first time out of Tria, or did you only learn how to kill people in a knight's class?"
"Hehe, no, I'm just a little strange, aren't there a lot of beasts and bandits we encountered along the way? ”
Slum shook his head: "You are a knight of the Church, don't discuss the affairs of the Empire. ”
After saying that, Slum continued to walk, but his eyes gradually narrowed, and the words of his subordinates did remind him that with the inquisition secretly following, this road really shouldn't be so twisty and turning, could something have happened?
And just when Slom was thinking to no avail, there was a sudden chaotic sound in front of the team, and Slum waved his hand to stop the team and looked intently.
Not far ahead, I saw a temporary shed, around which there were many clergy wearing pale blue robes, carrying things back and forth, and constantly boiling porridge, scattering them to the poor people in line.
At this time, Ming Jue rode his horse and rushed up, and said lightly: "It's here." ”
"It's time for you to go. ”
"Thank you for your protection along the way, Lord Slom, and may ...... The god of light bless you. After Ming Jue finished speaking, he learned their etiquette, touched his chest with his right hand, and then pulled the reins and walked towards the shed.
Slum quietly watched his departing back, and instructed his subordinates: "Watch the team, the front should be the Aeolus Church that came to answer." With that, Slum hurried towards the shed.
"Hehe, excuse me, I've been on a long journey, can you give me a bowl of porridge. Ming Jue pursed his lips and rubbed his palms vigorously.
"Yes, but please queue up, don't worry, everyone has a share. The clergyman said mildly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go get in line. ”
After Ming Jue left the shed to line up, Slum also stepped forward, and the bright armor immediately attracted the attention of the personnel of the Wind God Church.
"Church of Light, exchange group, please come with me. ”
Soon after, Ming Jue sat at the table, drank hot porridge in small sips, and watched the team of the Knights leave the place under the leadership of the Aeolus Church and rush towards the capital of Honoris, and when the carriage passed by the shed, he did not forget to say goodbye to Alena and Sophia.
"That...... Can you bring me a bowl?"
"No problem. ”
....................................
Inside the carriage, Alena looked back, then lowered her head to look at the woolen blanket at the bottom of the carriage, recalling Mingjue's strange words when she said goodbye.
"Your Excellency, what do you think is a human being?"
Alena was strange, she felt that the question was somewhat familiar, as if someone had asked her before, but she couldn't remember anything.
"What is a human?" said Alena to herself.
"Ah, what did you say, Alena?"
"No, I just think that the Church of the Wind God will actually help the poor. ”
Sophia looked disdainful: "What else, make a show for us, I've heard that they will secretly use those homeless poor people as sacrifices to pray for the protection of the evil gods, ah...... I still want to go back to the prayer hall at headquarters, even if I disturb the hygiene. ”
Alena glanced at it, didn't speak, and looked out the window with a heavy heart.
