Chapter 121: Adolescence (Part II)
"Huh? Hahaha! Brad was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!" Leo laughed too.
"Hahaha!" The others laughed.
They laughed very strangely, and there were a few of them, and they laughed with tears in their eyes.
I don't like this inexplicable situation the most!
A bunch of people were laughing there, and I didn't understand what they were laughing at at all!
Especially, Leo, an evil guy from another world, and my kindred, are all laughing just as strangely!
"Hey!" I was a little annoyed, "What the hell are you laughing at!" β
"Ha......" Brad saw that I was really angry, and choked the laughter behind him, and tried his best to hold back.
Still, I think he's still a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Leo changed his way of laughing.
"You ...... Don't laugh......" Brad said to the others, "Who didn't come this way when they were kids......"
Gradually, they stopped laughing, but still looked at me with strange eyes.
"I don'......t understand," I said, "shouldn't you teach me?" β
Brad put on another look of suffocating a laugh.
"Puff ......," someone couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, a few noble guardian warriors happened to come over, and everyone became serious.
"Well, we can't tell you about this yet," Brad patted me on the shoulder solemnly, "but don't worry, you are now companions, brothers, and comrades-in-arms, and we won't hide it from you!" Don't worry...... just yet."
"Why ......," I was still not satisfied, "When I was a child, adults always said that I would understand when I grew up, but now I am an adult!" β
Brad said: "You just passed the trial of adulthood, as for the real adulthood, there are still several years left, don't worry, really don't worry......"
Looking at the way they looked, it seemed like they weren't going to tell me.
Back at my accommodation, I rested for a while, and my mind was occupied by Atayal again.
Brad: They were laughing and joking about me, and I wasn't in the mood to talk to them.
When will we see Atayal again? I thought to myself.
By the way, I suddenly remembered that they had said that the story of the ancestor Minotaur a thousand years ago could be borrowed from the priest's house!
Yes, to the priests' house!
Thinking of this, I stood up with a "pout".
Bled and they were taken aback: "Bihon, what are you doing?" Just kidding, you, don't get excited! β
I didn't speak, but ran toward the priest's court.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Brad yelled behind him, "It's time to go on patrol!" β
"Wait for me, I'll be right back!" I didn't look back.
"What is this kid going on...... crazy," Brad muttered quietly, not being heard.
Yes, my current state does seem to be crazy, just like Leo......
"Where are you going?" Leo also asked.
"Can't you see?" I asked rhetorically.
"Can you get in?" Leo said.
"Try it!" I say.
There is no one standing guard at the gate of the priest's courtyard, and there is no need for it, because there are priests living inside, and if even the priests can't guard it, it is useless to arrange guardian warriors. I noticed this the last time I came.
I walked into the gate of the priesthood, and no one stopped me.
But I don't know where to go.
I don't know anything other than the interrogation room I went to that night.
So, I looked around curiously.
The buildings here are similar to those of the Guardian Warriors, except that there are more houses made of wood, and there are hardly any people around.
But soon, I ran into a man.
A probationary priest who had met in the dining hall.
Of course, they said that they had met, but basically there was no communication.
"What's the matter with you?" The priest-apprentice seemed to know I was coming, and there was no surprise on his face.
"I thought......" I looked around, expecting to see Atayal, but I also knew that it was unlikely, so I had to say, "I want to borrow books......"
The probationary priest said, "It was you!" β
I looked at him strangely.
The probationary priest said, "Today a priest made a small divination for me, saying that only one person will come to borrow books, it turns out that it is you, hurry up!" β
I immediately understood that there was no surprise on his face, it turned out that he had already divined.
He turned to lead the way, and I hurried to follow.
"Hey, I said, can you teach me how to divination?" Leo seems to have taken an interest in divination.
"Can't!" I simply refused.
The probationary priest led me to a room made entirely of stone.
There are many shelves carved out of stone in the room, on which are placed scrolls and volumes of books, which at first glance look like animal skin rolls that have been arranged and ready to sew clothes.
"What do you want to borrow?" The trainee priest asked me, "You have heard the rules that books on skills and cultivation can only be read here or on the chair at the door, and the others can be taken back to the residence, but not from the temple?" β
I nodded: "I understand...... That, I want to read a book about the great patriarch Minotaur a thousand years ago. β
"Historical legends?" The probationary priest said, "This can be brought back to the dwelling." β
As he spoke, he took out two animal skin scrolls and handed them to me, asking, "Is that all?" β
I was about to nod my head when Leo suddenly shouted anxiously, "Don't worry, look for a book about the outside, ah no, it's about the continent beyond the Kalmdo steppe!" β
I didn't want to pay attention to him, and suddenly I thought of something, and said, "Then you have to tell me what you guys were laughing at just now!" β
"No problem, no problem!" Leo hurriedly agreed, "Even if you don't make this request, I will tell you sooner or later." β
I feel like I'm losing.
Still, I asked the probationary priests.
"The outside world?" The probationary priest listened to my request and shook his head slightly, "What do you care about?" There are no special books here, but some books will mention one or two sentences, if you really want to find it, it is also very troublesome, are you sure you want to find it? β
I saw that he was impatient, and I wanted to give up.
"Then find a technique related to the Kalmdo steppe, and you can also find a technique related to other orcs." Leo said anxiously.
I said, "Well, let's find out about the whole of the Kalmdo steppe and the orcs......
The probationary priest said, "Yes." β
As he spoke, he skillfully took out two books and asked, "Do you want anything else?" You can borrow up to five copies at a time. β
"Borrow ...... again," Leo said anxiously.
"No......" I shook my head, not trying to meet Leo's request.
"That......'s good," the midshipman breathed a sigh of relief, "protect these books!" β
I nodded, ready to walk out.
"Hey, why are you like that?" Leo said.
"Anyway, you said that even if I didn't ask for it, you would say it." I say.
"You won......" Leo said weakly.
Walking out of the stone house, I looked around again and saw several priests, all men.
Behind his back, the probationary priest said, "Remember to return the book as soon as possible!" β
I nodded, and he left.
Seeing me, my heart suddenly became lost again.
"Why, I didn't see my sweetheart, are you disappointed?" Leo was a little gloating.
"Shut up." I say.
"I have a good idea," said Leo, "would you like to hear it?" β
"Say!" I say.
"As for me, I'm very interested in these books," Leo said quickly, "and you'd love to come here every day, right?" β
"Go on." I walked slowly out of the priesthood, and when I looked back, I still didn't see a single priestess.
"That's easy," said Leo, "and you can take advantage of the opportunity to borrow books to come here, and I'll be in charge of reading the books for you, and if anyone suspects that you haven't read the books at all, I'll help you lie...... That way, no one will say that you borrowed a book and didn't read it, and came to the priesthood for something else......"
"Yes!" I said yes right away.
"Hehe, this is the happiest thing you ever promised!" Leo smiled.
When I got back to my accommodation, Brad and the others laughed and shook their heads when they saw me borrowing a book: "What's the use of that thing?" β
I didn't refute, put the book back in my room, and followed them out to patrol the streets.
There were many farmers on the streets, carrying farming tools for digging the ground and carts of dirt, supposedly to fill up the underground labyrinth.
The city is relatively calm, and there are basically no accidents on the streets.
In the afternoon, when we returned to our accommodation, we went to distribute food to the poor.
When I got to the alley outside the cafeteria, I was stunned againβ
Atayal Priest! She! Actually, it's here!
All of us Street Patrol Fighters burst out with ten times more enthusiasm in an instant!
And I'm already carried away by this surprise!
Not only us, but even the poor people shouted "Atayal Priest" with joy, without even glancing at the person who put the food in their hands......
On this day, the alley where food is distributed is particularly lively.
Priest Atayal was like a messenger sent by Mother Earth, with a flawless smile, illuminating the entire alleyway when the sun was about to set, illuminating, my heart......
