Chapter 5: The Dilapidation of the Temple

A fence woven of vines and branches, surrounded by a patchwork of tents; Two tall and towering ancient trees surrounded everything in front of them, and everywhere they came into view was a vibrant emerald green, even the sun could not block the green elegance; When the green vine hanging on the texture of the big tree was lifted up, and when he saw the person who came out of it, Fia in front of Ye Qi immediately rushed over.

"My child, you're finally back!"

Ye Qi looked at the gray-haired old man with slightly squinted eyes, half-squatted down and stroked Fia's forehead, and let out a loving smile; Of course, what attracted Ye Qi was not the warmth of the scene in front of him, but the clothes on the old man's body—simple clothes woven from bird feathers, branches and leaves of trees, and roots of vines, which he had seen for the first time.

Is this a special costume for the Druid Church?

Just like the monk's and sacrificial garments of the Holy See, Ye Qi naturally classified this never-before-seen costume into his unique religious costume.

Gently letting go of Fia in his arms, and meeting Ye Qi's curious gaze, the old man smiled: "Connaught welcomes you on behalf of all druids who love nature!" ”

"It is my pleasure, Lord Connaught!" As an elder, he had a respectful language, which made Ye Qi immediately return the salute according to the proper etiquette - first bowed slightly, and then introduced himself: "Ye Qi, from the bay!" ”

"Guests from the bay, please come in!" Connor took Fia in one hand and made a gesture of invitation in the other: "Please let us thank the warriors who fought evil and saved our people!" ”

Under the guidance of the other party, Ye Qi walked into the other party's camp, as for the other party's previous words, Ye Qi was not surprised - since Fia can have a heart-to-heart dialogue with him, then of course she can also talk to the other party through a heart-to-heart dialogue.

However, he was puzzled by the word "clansman" that the other party was referring to, and he clearly remembered that the druidism that the strange wolf said should be a church. According to his understanding of the Holy See, it is necessary to address the position before the level of calling the other person by name, so that it will not appear rude or too unfamiliar; And like the situation of the other party in front of him, it is obvious that it is most appropriate to call Fia by her name directly.

"Don't think of any church as a disgusting institution like the Holy See!"

The strange wolf's voice carried a disgust for the Holy See as much as it could, and even used the word institution when describing the Holy See, especially the prefix of the insulting adjective, which expressed the indignation of the strange wolf; And from the recent transactions, Ye Qi found that since he got the jewelry box from the female leader of the bloodline glory, the other party's hatred for the Holy See has reached a point where it is incompatible.

"The Druids have always obeyed the rules of helping the weak and guarding the good in the crazy times of darkness, blood, and chaos; Even in the face of the danger of extermination, it has never changed! As Ye Qi guessed, the strange wolf continued to explain: "So, the Druids see each other more as family than the Holy See's powerful game of power!" ”

Family?

Ye Qi smiled noncommittally; However, there was no contempt in the smile—the canons that have survived the dark, bloody, and chaotic ages that have survived the present day are by no means contemptible fame-seeking; But for a church like Druidism, being kind doesn't make it any better; The power of the Holy See spread across most of the continent, and the fact that their Druids could only retreat into the depths of the Sea Forest was the most obvious example. Of course, this is just Ye Qi's idea after comparing the existing gap between the two, and it does not prevent Ye Qi from liking the Druids. After all, it's always reassuring to be friendly and harmless, whether it's religious or not.

With the curiosity of visiting your place for the first time, Ye Qi, who was walking behind, carefully looked at the Druid camp in front of him - green is the main color of the entire camp, whether it is the tent or the clothes that he lives in, he is mainly in this color; In addition, the pattern of oak seeds spread throughout the camp, becoming the other thing that Ye Qi saw the most in the entire camp.

Of course, while Ye Qi was curiously looking around, the Druid sect members were also looking at Ye Qi curiously; And it was clear that they were constantly communicating around Ye Qi in some kind of slang similar to the lingua franca, and they were much more curious about Ye Qi, an outsider who had not appeared for decades, than Ye Qi was curious about them. ,

Ye Qi's expression did not change under the words of the Druids, and he still walked with a casual face, following Connor with a casual face—because although the language was not understood, the kindness conveyed in his eyes was something he could recognize; However, the casualness on Ye Qi's face did not last long; Upon seeing the temple in the Druidic camp, casualty was immediately replaced by surprise.

This is their temple?

After looking at a simple wooden house made of oak branches and leaves in front of him, Ye Qi was stunned for a while—although he didn't want to believe it, just from the quiet expressions and pious eyes of the Druids around him, he could conclude that this was indeed the other party's temple; It's just a little rudimentary......

And after looking at the temple in front of him for a long time, Ye Qi suddenly found a problem - words! There is no writing in the entire Druidic camp!

Not only was there no written inscription in the temple, but he found that he had not seen a single written word or anything like that in the entire Druidic camp all the way from his journey; He had not noticed it until he had been attracted by the exotic atmosphere of the Druid camp, but when he walked to the temple in the middle of the camp and found that there was no ritual that should have appeared, he immediately noticed this difference.

What a strange church......

How did they preach without using words? Could it be that kao someone remembers?

Regarding this question, Ye Qi naturally asked about the strange wolf; However, to Ye Qi's surprise, the strange wolf became silent this time; Ye Qi immediately glanced at the temple in front of him in surprise - this was not the first time that the strange wolf had been in such a situation. After the catastrophe caused by Fanzhuo, when the white-robed priest presided over the ceremony for the victims, before he stepped into the cathedral, he said that he would take shelter for safety. And now, the other party was obviously more cautious than the last time, and before he entered the temple, he had disappeared without a trace.

"Squeak ......"

The door of the temple made a sound identical to its humble appearance, and then slowly opened; Connoh, who was walking in front, turned around with a smile and made a gesture of please to Ye Qi.

Although the other party has always shown good intentions, and the strange wolf has also said that the druids are harmless; But the moment Ye Qi walked inside, he still cautiously observed the surrounding environment, and after confirming the five dangers, he continued to move forward.

However, as soon as his feet stepped into the temple, a glow of emerald green light immediately enveloped him.
