The little girl was none other than the one they had been rescued from the judgment not long ago.

There was a suspicious look in the box's eyes, and a hint of panic flashed on the little girl's face, and the next moment she immediately turned around with the basket and prepared to escape. But she seemed to have forgotten the steps of the bakery behind her, and when she stepped back, she just stumbled on the steps, and when she turned around, she lost her balance, and her thin body fell backwards, and she fell backwards with the bread in the basket.

But at that moment, time seemed to freeze, the box raised its right hand, and the little girl, the basket in her hand, and the black bread that flew out of the basket were all fixed in mid-air.

"Woma Dallas—" The boy recited a spell, and under the restraint of an invisible force, the bread in mid-air returned to the basket, and the basket returned to the little girl's hand, and the little girl returned to her unbalanced state.

The box snapped her fingers again, and time seemed to 'recover' from its stagnation, and the little girl took several steps back with the basket in her arms before she could stand still.

The little girl's thin shoulders straightened nervously, and she looked around in disbelief, and then raised her head and stared at the young man in front of her, who was tightly wrapped up and down, and her big clear eyes flickered on her dirty face, and then revealed a trace of panic and uneasiness.

She cautiously stepped back, staring at the box as she retreated, but seeing that the box did not make any further movement, she quickly turned around and fled like a frightened little animal into the alley, and disappeared without a trace in a matter of moments.

The box silently looked in that direction, not moving, and after a long time, he slowly lowered his hand.

"The Chosen One?"

With the sound of the door opening, a somewhat gruff voice sounded from behind him.

Boxy turned around and saw a tall man pushing the door open and standing by the door in the shop where the little girl had come out, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.

The man has a scar on his face that runs from the right eyebrow bone to the left chin and runs through the bridge of his right eye and nose. But his expression was calm, his temples were frosted, and he didn't look hideous and terrifying, but like a veteran who had left the battlefield, a retired soldier.

His gaze was very deep, but his right eye was slightly glazed, apparently due to injury.

Seeing that the box was only looking at himself in a daze, the man asked again: "What about you, are you the Chosen One?" ”

The box shook his head and replied truthfully, "No, I'm a killer." ”

"Killer?" The man was stunned and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He shook his head: "You're a killer, that's okay." So Mr. Killer, do you have a job? ”

The box replied, "I'm not available." ”

The man looked the box up and down, his gaze from the saber at his waist to the glove of the wizard. He suddenly spoke: "The gloves are good, who gave them to you?" ”

The box looked down at his sword, then at his gloves, and when he looked up, there was a hint of doubt in his exposed eyes, as if asking: What does this matter to you?

The man chuckled, but didn't care, but replied, "Your sword is not worthy of your gloves." Of all the magic swordsmen I've seen, there's nothing as strange as you. ”

The box pulled out the sword and fiddled in front of the other party, looking a little unconvinced. This magic guide sword was still found by him from the sunken ship, and he has been using it until now, and he doesn't think there is anything bad about it, it can be regarded as the best sword he has ever used.

The man looked at the sword and shook his head: "It's just broken copper." ”

The box raised the sword to the other party, which means that the sword is good or bad will not be known until the other party tries it.

But the man didn't look at the bright tip of the sword, and only looked at him over the blade of the sword and said, "Interesting little guy, what's your name." ”

The box looked eager to try, and was about to answer, but suddenly remembered that the regiment commander asked them to hide their identities, and changed his mind and said: "My name is Aidan Rian-box." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what kind of strange name it was, but most of the names of the Chosen One were strange, and there was nothing strange about it. It's just that this name always feels a little familiar to him, and he thought for a moment and shook his head, thinking to himself what he was struggling with here?

Only then did he come back to his senses and said, "Strange name, you wait for me here." ”

Without saying this, the man did not say much to him, nor even looked at the sword in his hand, but turned around, opened the door and entered the house.

The box was a little baffled, but he stood there and thought for a moment, then put away his sword again. If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, in the past, he asked what it meant after Xingmen, and the lonely white field also answered him like this, I have to say that this method is very easy to use.

At this time, the Paparal man pushed the door out from the other side with a large bag of bread, looked in this direction and waved his hand to him with some excitement, "Let's go, I'm done, let's find a place to eat." ”

The box thought for a moment, immediately put the previous things behind him, and nodded.

By the time the man pushed the door out with a wooden box, there were only two lines of footprints left in the thick snow on the square. He couldn't help but be stunned, looked around, then shook his head, glanced at the box in his hand, and then bent down to put it on the ground before turning around and walking back.

The door was closed.

……

Nothing was said all night.

Finally escaped from the harsh environment in the wilderness, everyone slept beautifully that day, especially Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiao and Kita, the three little girls looked radiant the next morning, completely different from before.

The next day, the snow was still very light, and it seemed that the blizzard of the past few days was finally showing signs of clearing, and Fang Ou discussed the matter of the Ravental Sanctuary with his ship's master at ten o'clock at breakfast. In fact, he still cares a little about the 'temple' that suddenly appeared, but he cares more about what goes behind the scenes.

He suspected that perhaps Elpahim or some local force was involved, or perhaps His Royal Highness the Prince, because only the other party had the will and motive for it.

However, Sylvid listened to his words, smiled and shook his head, "It won't be His Royal Highness." ”

Fang Yu looked at her with some surprise.

"He's not like that," said Sylveid, smiling, "a conspirator, a politician, a usurper for power, a supporter of the traitorous party, that's how he is described from the outside, but when you see the old man, you will understand what kind of man he is." ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, but still nodded, His Royal Highness the Prince was indeed a legend in Kaulin-Ishurian. In fact, before he came to this world, he had heard many rumors about each other-

The previous king had only two sons, the eldest of whom was the previous king, Sirian III.

And the second son, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince.

It is rumored that His Royal Highness was born with a disability and an ugly appearance, and did not inherit the handsomeness and beauty of his father and mother, which is not the same as that of the previous king. When the other party was still a young man, he was known for his withdrawn personality and maverick, and he was never accepted by the outside world.

Later, the young man went to the Silver Tower alone to study with the master of Eagle Castle, Dannediel, but Danid did not say anything about his student, and outsiders only knew that he left Eagle Castle not long after.

He had traveled extensively throughout the continent ever since, even leaving Kaurin-Ishurian for Othello and Rota, and by the time he returned to the country, the first king had already ascended the throne. He has been supporting his brother behind the scenes, and has won the trust of Cillian III.

It is said that His Royal Highness the Prince is very capable, and he is behind the Battle of Byrne and the subsequent purge of the Worshippers in the South.

He also supported many young people, including today's Sir Roban, the elves of Evan Quinn were also favored by him, and even Sir Marvey, Sylvid's father, was sponsored by the Prince.

With the joint efforts of the relatively enlightened Cillian III and His Royal Highness the Prince, the Cowling Kingdom has changed from nearly half a century of sluggishness, and gradually has shown signs of coming out of the haze of the Dragon Witch incident a hundred years ago.

His Royal Highness thus had many friends and political allies in the kingdom, not only humans and elves, but even dwarves, Istanians, and so to speak, friends throughout Kaulin-Ishurian.

However, it is also because of this that it is natural for the new king to be jealous of his uncle, and the prime minister's party also regards him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

But about this legendary figure, most of the folk rumors are about his early experience, as well as his peculiar appearance, few people can really sketch the appearance of His Royal Highness the prince in his work and daily life, and there are different opinions about his personality and preferences.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the prime minister's side, most people believe that His Royal Highness the prince is an image of a conspirator who is a gloomy and cold-blooded conspirator who plans many plans behind his back.

Even Fang Yu himself inevitably fell into this stereotype, but after being reminded by Sylvid, he realized that he really didn't know what kind of person this Royal Highness the Prince was.

Thinking that the other party was going to receive him soon, he couldn't help but be a little curious, this Royal Highness the Prince and the former King Sirian III are brothers, the difference between the two is only a few years old, and the first King has already died, think about it carefully, this Royal Highness the Prince is almost an old man who has entered the old age.

The first king Cyrian III had a great reputation among the people, and what kind of person was this old man who created an era with Cyrian III, the living legend of Kaurin-Ishurian?

Breakfast was still not substantial, but everyone was at least well fed, and it seemed that supplies were scarce, but not to the point of serious consequences.

In fact, the town of Grey Owl is close to the port of Gulla, so theoretically there should not be a possibility of a shortage of supplies, and Fang Yu only learned that it was the Crow's Paw Temple's rationing of the entire town that implemented a relatively strict control system.

But in the current environment, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

After breakfast, everyone went out separately to do their own business, Luo Hao, Ji Ta, and Miss Tata stayed in the hotel, responsible for analyzing the information and coordinating everyone with the center. If there is any emergency, it can also be fed back to everyone in time through here.

The day before, Parker and the box had returned to the inn before the agreed time, and it seemed that the two of them had not caused any trouble, so Fang Yu did not bother to ask where they had gone.

Besides, he could guess that the Paparal must have gone to open a small stove again, and he also knew that this guy had spent all his pocket money early on, and this time he probably owed money to the box again.

As for how much money the Paparals owe in the team, that's a figure that God can only tell.

Leaving the inn, Fang Yu took Luo Yu and Miss Mei straight out of the city.

Although the Crowtalon Sanctuary had a relatively strict control over the entire Grey Owl Town, and they had seen a number of patrolling Grey Knights from the streets along the way, they were not hindered when they left the city, as if nothing had happened in the judgment field yesterday.

The Ravental Sanctuary didn't even send additional personnel to the town.

There were only a few lazy guards on duty, almost exactly the same as when they entered the place yesterday, and there were no knights in black and white robes around, but a priest in black robes handing out leaflets.

The other party's robe had a raven's emblem on it, and it looked like it was the clergy of the Ravenclaw Temple.

Fang Yu was a little curious about this temple that suddenly appeared, took the other party's leaflet and looked at it, and found that there were only a few words written on it, which was roughly the doctrine of Aidanrian. But two sentences caught his attention:

'The raven prophesied the end of the world, and when the storm was coming, the mortal world would fall—'

'Great Adan Rian, listen to the name of my God, and the world will be redeemed. ’

Eschatology, soteriology, this set of methods is simply commonplace in their world, and the Europeans have been playing this game since the fourteenth century, and they have justifiably made a gadget called indulgence to collect money.

However, most of the people who inherited this mantle were all kinds of cult organizations and folk gods, and this is also normal, and if it does not cause panic, it will be difficult for these people to fish in troubled waters and make profits.

But it turns out that Judgment Day has been moving backwards from the centuries B.C. to the twenty-second century, and even controlled nuclear fusion at room temperature is still 50 years away, but the religious legend of Judgment Day is still far away.

However, the situation in Aitaria was different, and when Fang Yu saw these lines, he almost immediately thought of the arrival of the evil star.

He looked up at the black-robed priest, a young man in his twenties, with a somewhat pale face and curly black hair on his forehead. The young man looked at the crowd with black eyes and asked them:

"Are you ready for war and disaster?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to prepare?" ”

"Join us and believe in my God, and you will be saved."

Fang Yu realized that the other party was just a believer, shook his head, and left with Luo Yu and Miss May.

After walking out of Greyowl Town, he turned back and asked, "Lady May, is this the case with your mission?" ”

May replied, "We are hypocrites and are not responsible for proselytizing. And I'm a cathar, and mission is a matter for priests, so Mr. Ed can ask his sister, Miss Tang Xin may know better than me. She compared the emblem on her chest, which was a little different from the priest's, a coat of arms and a mace, Ori's preferred weapon.

Fang Yu shook his head, his cousin is okay, Tang Xin is just a Mirela priest, and he has not received any training from the beginning - the one who chooses to receive power from the gods and give them faith, this is an exchange relationship, not a person inside the temple at all.

May thought for a moment before replying, "But I've seen them preach, and it should be the same." ”

The world with true gods is really different from theirs, Fang Yu thought to himself.

"Where are we going?" At this time, Luo Yu asked.

Fang Yu looked up, and the forest in the distance was covered with snow, and the whole world was white.

The place they were going to was a monastery a few miles away from the town of Greyowl. He had asked Luo Hao to investigate in advance, and the first place where the shadow man appeared near Grey Owl Town was near this monastery.

The monastery was built around the same time as the town of Grey Owls, and after the war with the Grey Owls, a group of dervish monks of Milella stayed in the place and built the monastery. The monastery existed for more than a century, then gradually decayed and has long since been abandoned.

It is said that a century ago it was occupied by exiled criminals, bandits, and wandering mercenaries, but the new owners of the monastery did not stay long, either exterminated or left.

As a result, the monastery has experienced several successions of prosperity and decline.

Its last thriving was about thirty years ago, when a group of ascetics resettled in the place, but soon the rebuilt monastery was destroyed in a bizarre fire, after which the place never regained its prosperity.

A few months ago, a group of adventurers passed through the area, using the abandoned monastery as a makeshift camp, where they encountered the Shadow Man. Not many people survived the encounter, but one or two of them were the Electors, leaving rumors in the community.

It is said that this was the first sighting of the Shadow Man near Grey Owl Town, after which rumors of the Shadow Man swirled, and the Crowclaw Sanctuary settled in the area.

Until today.

Following a map downloaded from the community, the trio walked through a snow-covered forest and found the right direction without much effort.

Although it has long been abandoned, an ancient road is still left in the forest that leads to the monastery. The trail has been gradually eroded by forests over the decades, but some traces of man-made can still be seen, and the fences on the side of the road and the broken street signs can all point them along.

Fang Yu didn't know if anyone other than them had been to the monastery to investigate recently, but it had snowed all night last night, and even if there were any traces, it had already been covered with snow.

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination.
