Chapter 61: Contact
There was the footsteps of two more people in my ears.
Hey, so many people went to baptism in the temple, don't you know how hard it is to understand how hard it is for that demon to hold back the desire to eat now?
Li Fang opened his eyes and looked to the side, and at the corner of the road to the baptismal temple, a young woman in a navy blue robe soon appeared, followed by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
With short blond hair, and this young man with a scar on the corner of his left eyebrow, he always feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It's like me and Anna. Li Fang smiled dumbly, he still remembered those days very much, but he quickly realized something.
Wait, is it Claire?
Li Fang's eyes widened in surprise, although all these years had passed, he had memorized all the information about the world of the great sword that he could think of, and now the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the woman and boy walking in front of him were most likely Claire and Naki.
Would you like to go up and say hello?
No, no, forget it, it's like a sudden pick-up, and it's better to make sure now.
Li Fang suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned around, and entered the baptism temple through the entrance guarded by two guards.
If it was really Claire, then she would have to go to Priest Vincent, the person entrusted to the Order......
After putting her luggage at the inn, Claire took Naki to the Great Sanctuary. Following the information provided by her agent, she took out the certificate of permission to enter the baptismal temple and handed it to the guards, and through the winding passage downward, she and Naki finally reached their destination.
It's just that the young garrison I met on the way was a little strange, although it was only for a moment, but there seemed to be some surprise and joy in the eyes of those who looked at it?
He turned around and walked down the stone steps, and also walked into the baptismal temple, there was nothing special, so Claire didn't pay much attention to it, just thought of it as a strange ordinary person.
The appearance of the baptismal temple is also a spacious space supported by many square stone pillars, but there are no windows, and the stone statues placed between the stone pillars are no longer stone statues, but sarcophagi that preserve the dried corpses of great men in the past.
Most of the people who stayed here were monks, priests and other clergy, but there were also believers. Unbeknownst to them, of course, there was a hungry demon lurking around them.
Claire was not interested in these religious things, and she did not stop long, and went straight to the innermost baptismal platform.
Naki looked curiously as he followed Claire closely.
Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Li Fang's eyes kept following the suspected Claire and Naki to the other end of the Baptismal Temple, where he remembered that the matter of the Baptismal Temple was now in charge of Priest Vincent.
It is said to be a baptismal platform, but in fact it is only a semi-circular flat ground three steps higher than the ground, but the sunlight falls from the skylight on the slope, which makes it a little more solemn and holy.
"If you are here to be baptized, please come here." A bald-headed priest stood on the baptismal altar, about fifty years old, and looked very kind.
He was Vincent, the client of Clea's mission, but because of the secret medicine and a human boy like Naki who was following him, Vincent didn't see that the one in front of him was the rumored cold-blooded and dangerous greatsword.
During the simple baptism that followed, Claire whispered her identity, and Priest Vincent was shocked, but immediately hid it when Claire reminded her.
Even the clergy are ordinary people, and they are afraid of the great sword that is half of the demon's body.
Because it was his private act to invite the Great Sword to come and clean up the demons, it was inconvenient to talk here, so he and Claire agreed to meet tonight in the highest bell tower of the Great Holy Temple, and specially told Claire that there was a curfew......
It seems that it is really right.
Li Fang saw everything that happened just now, including Vincent's panicked expression just now. He was already sure that the young woman who was turning and slowly leaving was Claire.
She was much more beautiful than she had imagined, and the indifference between her eyebrows was much deeper.
After all, burdened with the hatred and fate of wanting to defeat Priscia at all costs, the little girl who was smiling more and more by Teresa's side finally chose to become a warrior of the organization.
Although she is currently ranked at the bottom of No.47, this is not to say that she is not talented or hard enough, just because the flesh and blood fused in her body does not come from demons like other warriors, but from Teresa!
Warriors with only a quarter of the bloodline are naturally much worse in terms of basic attributes.
These days of hard work have not been in vain, finally waiting for this one, and in addition to the death of the priest at the beginning, he was really defenseless, and then several attacks by demons were successfully blocked by himself, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief?
Li Fang's gaze swept to the side, and he couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
This demon is well hidden, and it is a very tricky existence for Claire, who can't sense the demonic aura now.
I still have to help, but some things still don't change.
Night.
Because of the curfew, the streets of La Pole were soon empty.
In one of the rooms of the corner hut, the candlelight is bright, adding to the femininity of the two women with good looks and figures.
"Tonight's meal seems to suit your tastes, and it's all so clean." Annabelle smiled as she slowly put away the utensils on the one-legged round table, "Also, remind guests that there is a strict curfew in this city at night, so please don't go out and cause unnecessary trouble." ”
"Okay, I'll take it to heart." Claire smiled sweetly and looked at Naki who was resting on the bed like a gentle sister: "And this kid is tired from traveling all the way, so we plan to rest early tonight." ”
"That's good, Brother Ling is really sensible." Annabelle smiled lightly, and said meaningfully: "I also have a younger brother, his name is Li Fang, although he is not very worried, but now he is a garrison of the Great Holy Hall, and I heard that he is quite popular among the soldiers. So if there's any trouble he can help, you're welcome. ”
"Thank you very much, I really chose the right place to come to this hotel." Claire turned her head and smiled as she looked at the beautiful and enthusiastic innkeeper in front of her.
"Don't thank you, don't blame me for talking too much," Annabelle took the dishes she had packed and turned sideways to leave, "It's not early, so please take a good rest." ”
The door was gently pulled shut, and the footsteps faded away.
Claire stood up with a blank face, and after talking to Naki, who had been pretending to be asleep, and after a few words, she changed into her robe, revealing the tight and shoulder-tight brown leather armor inside.
Fastening her black cape, she walked to the window.
Claire...... Be careful all the way. Naki thought she was going to fight against demons, and she couldn't help but worry, because she was still in a state of black pupils, and her demonic power was suppressed by secret medicine.
"It's okay, don't worry." Claire turned her head slightly, without further explanation, she was just going to see Priest Vincent tonight.
Pushing open the window, she leaped lightly under the cover of night, her body gently touching the roof of the house like a floating feather.
