Chapter 6: The Magician in the Temple
Robin was dressing and thinking about his current situationβ
Judging from their attitude towards him and the tone of their conversation, at least the weight of the Chosen One was quite heavy, and he would not be abducted by them and become a prisoner or a slave......
Although this possibility is not ruled out, relatively speaking, Robin thinks that the Chosen One is a more likely noble status.
In addition, there were three corpses on the ground, one of them dressed the same as these priests, and the other two corpses in black, that is, they were opposed to each other, and the white-clothed priest died in order to resist the enemy outside.
There are also the sounds of fierce fighting outside, which all show that the current situation is critical.
So are the people out there here for themselves?
This probability is quite high.
He didn't dare to put the treasure on them, and he didn't dare to believe that those people could have the same affinity towards him, so the only and best choice now was to follow this priest named Saiya.
When Robin clumsily put on the oversized garment, which had no idea where the head was and where the feet were, and fastened the waist and placket with the cords on it, so that the cufflinks and leg buckles tightened the limbs, and draped the short white cloak over his shoulders, the crowd cast a look of approval at him.
"I didn't expect you to be really ...... when you put it on," Saiya thought in his head, but he couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while, although his appearance was quite different from theirs, it was not ugly at all.
On the contrary, when his muscular silhouette was outlined by the white clothes, staring at the different face, another wonderful emotion swelled in Saiya's heart.
A feeling of a faster heartbeat.
He can even be described as charismatic.
And this has never happened to anyone else.
"Good, it looks much better now."
β¦β¦
"You summoned me in such a hurry, even on the eve of the graduation ceremony, I think this matter must be very important," a middle-aged female mage in a black robe, her chest heaving and her voice trembling slightly.
She respectfully pressed her right hand to the place of her heart, then bowed deeply.
"Is that the thing?" The female mage asked, her amber eyes glowing.
"Yes." The old man on the stone steps nodded deeply.
Light poured down from the huge picture window overhead, illuminating her back and blurring her face.
The old man, who had been added to the sense of sacredness, sat up straight, and his silver hair was extremely dazzling.
"Just now, the immortal flower in the altar did sprout again. It shows that Saiya's trip is half successful. The appearance of that person also heralded the continuation of the kingdom. β
"Great." The female mage smiled with relief, "But, why didn't you let me go with you on this trip to Sekorid?" You know, it's all an adventure, if the people of Sekorid know about it......"
"No, thank you for your kindness, I don't know how powerful a magister can be.
But after the Spark Plague sixteen years ago, any registered magician would pose a threat to the people of Sekorid, and they would inevitably keep a close eye on Saiya, so there would be no such opportunity, and there would be no success. β
"Then let me do your service and bring back Lord Saiya's party, I think the journey back will not be easier than when I went."
"Don't worry about this, that kid named Gale has the qualifications of a magic knight, and it can come in handy.
Also, with the White Wing Shield Heloise there, there shouldn't be any problem. And if you stay here, you'll play an even more pivotal role. β
The female mage had a flattered expression on her face, put her hands on her chest, and bowed slightly to the old man.
However, the next second she suddenly remembered something, and she asked hesitantly, "So...... Does His Majesty the King and the Divine Envoy know about this? β
"No......," the old man shook his head, his eyes blazing, "I can't let them know about this for the time being." β
"That's right." The female mage was silent for a moment and looked at each other worriedly, "But those clergy in the temple, will they accept it, will they restrain themselves, will they not be suspicious?" ββ
You must know that although the temple is managed by the priest, the priest is only the servant of the god and the lord after all.
Anyone knows that the real owner of the temple is actually the Divine Envoy. β
"That's enough." The old man's voice suddenly became stern, "If even you think so, it will disappoint me too much." β
"I'm sorry, I apologize for the insulting remarks just now." The female mage was slightly stunned and quickly bowed, "However, I just kindly remind you that not everyone can be trusted. β
"You don't have to worry about that, there are only two people who know about it now, a priest and a priest, and they are loyal enough not to say it. And I've blocked the altar after this. β
"As is customary, it happens to be a holy prayer every month, and I will stay at the altar for a few days, and no one else will visit."
"Hmm." The female mage was a little more settled, her fingers habitually tapping on the sides of her legs.
She thought about it from front to back and frowned, "But, I can't hide it from those guys in the shadows, you know, Moon Pupil's eyes are everywhere. β
"There's no way around it." The old man let out a sigh, "Although it won't be hidden for long, at least it can buy us some more time." β
After she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly froze, "That kid must come to me first." β
The female mage's heart skipped a beat, she had never seen the old man so stern.
The old man looked up at the female mage, "Over there in the Magic Society." I'll ask you to cover it up. β
"Willing to serve."
"Well, there is no room for error now," the old man sighed heavily, "who knows where his fate will go in the future?" β
