After all, Sally is only a sixteen-year-old girl after all, no matter what she has experienced before, age is here, and the questions she can think about are emotional after all.

The little girl's whims occasionally mimic something sad in her mind - would he have renounced his promise because he couldn't get inside the Rosicrucian, would he have left Hollier now?

The mentality of suffering from gains and losses has caused Sally to not sleep well for the past few days, and it seems that her ability is indeed much stronger than Roddy imagined. In just fifteen days, she had already had temporary contact with her former subordinates buried deep in Hollier, which allowed her to not be completely passive in the face of Francis.

But Sally also understands that she can't blatantly let people go to Roddy, otherwise Francis, who has long been eyeing Roddy, may find trouble with Roddy as soon as possible. The only thing she could do was wait here in silence, at least until she confirmed Francis's plans and whereabouts, she couldn't get out of the temple even half a step.

Is he coming?

When she walked to the main hall of the church, Sally would always look up at the colorful window, her fingers clenched involuntarily, and she sighed softly...

It's the sixteenth day, and today... He's not coming.

Thinking so, she was about to turn around and leave, but she heard a few words of conversation coming from the door of the main hall.

"This adventurer has important news to report back to Bishop Benjamin, and he has in his hands a token of Priest Nilda. ”

"Priest Nilda, isn't he already—"

"Therefore, the matter is urgent, and it is necessary to inform the Bishop immediately. ”

It sounded as if the guard outside the church had arrived at the porch of the monastery with an adventurer, and that he was going to meet Bishop Benjamin. Sally looked back and raised her eyebrows in confusion - she remembered the name "Priest Nilda", who was Bishop Benjamin's "protégé", and had met each other six months ago, and later heard that the other party had mysteriously disappeared after a mission out of the city, and the temple sent many people to investigate at that time, but they all ended up in vain.

Forget it, what does this have to do with you?

Shaking her head, Sally was about to turn away with some disappointment, and for a moment she realized that she wished Roddy was standing at the church door and smiling at her—but now that she thought about it, it was just her own wishful thinking.

"Bishop Benjamin has agreed to the request for a meeting, adventurer, you are allowed to enter here. May the gods watch over you. ”

The distant sound of conversation reached Sally's ears, and the words at the end were one of the teachings of the Temple, that is, "everything that is done, is looked upon by God."

The young girl didn't look back, she still walked forward, unconcerned, even a little absent-minded about the guards and adventurers approaching behind her.

"By the way, Lord Priest, I have one more request, which I hope you will grant. ”

"Tell me, adventurer. ”

The middle-aged priest's voice was calm, and the clergy in the temple were all gentle and helpful, but Sally felt that the adventurer's voice seemed familiar...

"As you know, I am an adventurer, and I happen to be passing through the city of Hollier, and I have some friendship with Lord Kirk, who happened to have asked me to deliver something the other day—for Miss Sally. ”

"Oh, Miss Sally?" the middle-aged priest turned his head to look at Sally, who was walking not far away, and said softly, "That's it, if there's anything, just give it to her." ”

The sound of conversation echoed in her ears not far away, but Sally did not immediately look back, she continued to walk forward, trying to maintain her posture, but no one could see that her fingers were trembling slightly.

She understands that she must not make a gesture that is familiar with the other party, and in this unfamiliar environment, the slightest flaw can lead to unpredictable consequences.

Footsteps approached from behind, and a flat, familiar tone sounded behind him—"Miss Sally, please stay." ”

Yes... It was Roddy's voice, yes.

Although everything was confirmed in her heart, this girl who had matured her heart took a deep breath, turned around slowly, lowered her eyes and said softly: "I am, please... May I ask who you are?"

His eyes followed the words, and his posture was like the first time the two met. Although Roddy approved a wide cloak, the delicate and uniquely shaped leather boots and gloves still made her eyes shine, and Sally would never forget the unique characteristics of Kemera's scales, so when her gaze fixed on Roddy's face, she lost her mind for a moment, so that her words stuttered slightly.

The grey linen cloak draped over his body, and the new leather armor seemed to dissociate him from Sally's impression of the scout captain covered in dirt, with a horned bow and a scimitar on his back—he remembered Roddy's self-introduction that he was "thirty-seven years old because of the curse of witchcraft", and suddenly realized that what he said did not seem like nonsense.

The person in front of him should not be a scout from a village, but a powerful adventurer with a wealth of experience.

For a long time, Roddy's image in Sally's mind has changed again and again, but there has never been a silhouette that she can see clearly, the scout captain, the adventurer, the mercenary, the knight, or the descendant of a certain nobleman?

What he did was unimaginable to ordinary people, and taking Sally out of the encirclement was something that he couldn't do even if he was replaced by those powerful guardian knights under his father.

Sally felt her heart pounding so fast that she could barely hold back her face as she tried to maintain her composure—the corners of her mouth tried to curl, but she trembled slightly with restraint. Her fingers clenched, her eyes fixed on Roddy's face, as if waiting for him to show a familiar smile.

However, Roddy's serious face never changed, only the same indifference and rigidity, as if he didn't know Sally at all.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Sally. Roddy's eyes seemed to be unfocused, as if he was just looking at a sculpture facing her, "Lord Kirk just has something for me to bring you, you left it in Finks Village a few days ago, because Lord Lord can't come in person, so I can only bring his blessing to you by the way." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took out a cloth bag, bent down and offered it with both hands, in a respectful gesture.

Sally's gaze remained on Roddy's face, a little stunned, until a few seconds later, she understood Roddy's intentions - slowly reached out to take the cloth bag, thanked him with the etiquette of a "Rosicrucian", and then whispered: "Thank you, brave adventurer." ”

"It's a gesture. ”

Roddy turned his face sideways, his gaze moved to the side emotionlessly, no longer looking at Sally.

In the eyes of the soldier next to him, the adventurer's behavior was normal. In this day and age, delivering letters and running errands seem to be the main functions of these idle adventurers, so his words did not arouse any doubts among the priest next to him. Because everything is reasonable, there is no doubt.

Roddy had no intention of continuing the conversation, and after Sally had taken the package, he bent deeply, saluted, and turned to signal the priest to go to Bishop Benjamin, not paying much attention to Sally's intentions.

In this way, the two passed by and had a "meeting" in a way that Sally could never have imagined - sixteen days after the last meeting, Sally found that she and the other party could not even say superfluous words, but could only watch each other's figures fade away...

There was some indescribable grievance and depression in her heart, her fingers tightened, and she remembered that she was holding the cloth bag that Luo Di had just given, she flipped through it, and took out the soft armor shirt with a gentle movement.

With a deep blue hue and a soft texture, the Kemera scales have been treated with a subtle and restrained reflection, and the hand-stitched marks on them are delicate and neat. Although Sally didn't know how much work it took to make such a leather armor, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling - this shirt... It must have been made by Roddy himself.

A piece of parchment paper fell from the cloth bag to the ground, Sally bent down to pick it up, and when she saw the words on it, she pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes were inexplicably filled with tears.

"Don't you even want to say goodbye. Bastard...".

"This is indeed the ring of Priest Nirda. Adventurer, where did you get it?"

Bishop Benjamin looked at the old silver ring in his hand, slowly raised his gaze, and asked Roddy in front of him.

"Located in the alley of Cambay, I was about to go to the Mercenary Guild, and this ring was at the exit of the sewers. Roddy's expression was still slightly indifferent, "Because I saw the emblem on the ring in front of the door of the 'Temple', I rushed over at once." ”

"Thank you, adventurer, but you must know that the 'Temple' will do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this matter. The old man put his hands behind his back slightly, his eyes narrowed, and it looked like Roddy's gaze flickered slightly, "That is to say, if you have anything else to do with this matter, we will not let it go." ”

"I thought about these issues before I came here, Lord Bishop. I'm just an adventurer looking to trade these clues for a reward, and nothing can fool you. ”

Roddy bowed his head, showing a submissive and respectful touch, without any superfluous expression.

"Of course, the 'Temple' will punish all evil forces, and will also favor those brave and upright young people, adventurers, thank you for your clues. ”

This is the words of the send-off, Roddy consciously got up and retreated, did not ask what the other party would reward, turned around and followed the guard to leave.

"Your Excellency, I would like to thank you very much for your contribution to the Abbey. ”

Not far off, another guard approached with a small wooden box in his hand, and handed it to Roddy, who took it with both hands, and left the monastery without looking at what was inside.

Along the way, Roddy didn't see Sally. For him, this also seems to mean that Sally has understood her situation and the current relationship between the two, and thinks that the other party's brain is relatively bright and will not do anything stupid.

Let's hope she grows up soon before the "Temple" splits.

Luo Di sighed silently in his heart. He had come here today because he had finally asked Sally in the tavern about Sally's presence in the Rosicruce Sanctuary - it was not a casual place for ordinary people to come and go, but Roddy knew how to walk in openly. That ring is the key.

"The Fall of Priest Nilda" is one of the most famous long quest chains in Roddy's memory, which began with the ring near the sewers. Of course, the location of this ring is only known to Roddy, and ordinary people have no way of detecting it. Fortunately, this quest also existed two years ago, and Roddy chose to use the opening of this quest chain to achieve the purpose of entering the monastery, and now he is lucky enough to meet Sally directly, but it also saves some things.

But he wouldn't know that until he disappeared into the corner outside the monastery, Sally stood behind the window on the second floor of the monastery, silently looking at his back, holding the soft armor shirt in her arms without saying a word.
