September 1728 in the Solar Calendar in the territory of the Kingdom of Portnas, the town of Kuro

In the Adventurer's Guild at noon, the most crowded place is no longer the lobby, at this time the adventurers will come to the restaurant behind the lobby for lunch, and the office window in the lobby will also be closed during this time, and the staff of the guild will have an hour's lunch break, and even Modella will leisurely find a seat in the restaurant at this time and sit down and drink a cup of black tea.

"Now that Natalia has already caught someone, you probably have to leave for the Holy Capital as well. Jasmine La sipped tea, she looked at Yass Langli who was also drinking tea next to her, the postures of the two were quite similar at this time, and they both looked very elegant, which was not strange to Yass Langli, but Jasmine Langli was rare.

Yass Langli held the teacup and looked a little absent-minded: "Before leaving, I have to settle down how the children will be placed." ”

"You're not going to take them away?" Modrilla didn't concentrate on chatting, she held the cup in her left hand, and drew magic runes in the air with her right hand, which was the same shape as the runes that contacted the Holy Maiden in the first place, but many of the same runes were of different colors, and she didn't speak to the runes like that time, more like Cam did at the beginning, silently transmitting messages.

"I asked them, they still have some scruples about the church, and I don't want to take them away..."

"Then let them go? Anyway, they'll be paid enough for them to live. Jasdella suggested, the various magical runes drawn in front of her flashing brightly.

"No, we can't let Rhodes disappear from our sight. Yass Langli shook her head, "Can you continue to take them in here?" ”

"Their adventurer level is so low, they will be gossiped about if they stay all the time, and they can't stay too long. Modella refused, and some of the magic runes dimmed and vanished.

"Looks like we have to ask Hopler. Yass Langley sighed.

"You look very reluctant, Hopler is quite familiar with them after healing his injuries, wouldn't it be nice to let this brute take them away?" Modelella couldn't understand why the saint sighed, her right hand was still drawing new runes.

"You think, Hopler took them away and probably pulled them into the Warrior Guild. I'll be even more passive. Yass Langley was listless, she dipped her fingers in the tea in the cup and scratched the rim of the cup, and the tea beads slowly flowed back into the tea along the side.

"Dirty!" Modrilla reminded her, but she didn't have both hands free now, otherwise she would definitely have to hit her hands, "Since you want to pull those two children into the church so much, report directly to the church about Angel Feathers, and the church should forcibly take Rhodes away." ”

Yass Langley concealed the fact that the demon god gave Rod Mephius a feather from the church, and the last feather of the angel will greatly strengthen the affinity between the bestowed and the holy power, and he can also use the remaining power of the angel. Now Rhodes only needs to learn the Word of God, and he will learn it like a genius. If he is poached by the Warrior Guild, according to the agreement, he will not be able to cross the guild to learn the Word, which is a huge waste.

"Originally, this child was very wary of the church because of his family relationship, if he was forcibly taken away, with that child's temperament, he would definitely resist, even if he couldn't escape, he wouldn't cooperate, even if he was forced to learn and learn, he wouldn't thank the church, I can't lock him up in the church forever, when he grows up and is free, it will be bad if he joins the ranks of rebelling against the church. Yass Langley knew very well how Rhodes would react if she did this, so she didn't want to do it.

"What can they do about the unbelievers? Jasmine laughed contemptuously.

"It's true that they can't make any waves, but they are all unconditionally absorbing people who rebel against the church, and if Rhodes is recruited by them with holy power in the future, it will be a big problem. ”

"Then it can't be helped. At least it's safer to leave it to Hopler. It's better to waste his talent than to threaten the church in the future" Modryla finished her tea, she wiped off all the magic runes, and it looked like the exchange was over, and the short break was over.

"Then it's a pity..."Yass Langli looked very unwilling at this time.

"Then what do you want..."Modrella was a little impatient, "It's you who says it's you, it's you who doesn't go, not everything can have the best of both worlds, Her Highness the Holy Maiden~~"

"I know, I know. Yass Langley looked at the doll sadly, "Then I'll go to Hopler to discuss." ”

"That's right, Natalia told me that she had set off for Lozema in Pamela, and that she would teleport to the Holy Capital when she got there. Jasmine grabbed Yass Langley's arm and pulled Yass Langli to her feet.

"Didn't you let them use the teleportation directly?" Yass Langley resisted, but was dragged away by Modrly.

"There are four of them, and even if one is removed, it will take three people, and the cost of going directly from Portnas to the Holy Capital is too great. Mothria pouted, "It's not because I'm stingy. ”

"That President Rukia is not angry when she came here for nothing. ”

"How could it be~ Mosas, Joseph and Rukia are old friends, they used to be the ace team of the Adventurers' Guild, and they are happy to meet their old friends. The two of them had already reached the door of the restaurant.

"Is Mosas still there?" the two men began to stand by the door and continue chatting.

"Well, it seems that we've figured out what's going on with Liz, the report has been updated, and you can read it if you need it. Fortunately, the Grand Magister was here, and Depp left without saying anything, and it almost became an unsolved case. ”

"yes" Depp was mentioned, and Yass Langley's face showed a sad expression again.

"When you're done, go find Hopler~" Modrilla suddenly turned and walked down the hall.

"Hey!" Yass Langli wanted to stop the doll, but the doll didn't pay attention to her at all, and disappeared into the aisle in a blink of an eye, Modella forced her to do this, the saint sighed, and now she couldn't think of any other way, even if she was reluctant, she could only do what Modrila said.

However, Hoppler was not easy to find, the warrior would not stay in the room obediently, and now that his injuries were half healed, there was nothing inconvenient in his movements, and there was no task, so he must have gone out. The saint turned around twice, but she didn't find him in the guild, and she didn't know much about some people after asking, she thought about it, where the warrior could go, the tavern, the saint could only think of there, and Hopler's biggest hobby was drinking. So she left the Adventurers' Guild and headed for the town's only tavern, the Beauva Tavern.

The saint's feet were fast, and ten minutes later she came to the tavern of Beauvoir, and she stretched out her head at the door to glance inside, yes, the children and him were inside, there was a lot of food and wine on the table, the warrior was talking loudly, the whole tavern was in a mess, and the saint frowned and retreated. That kind of place, as an elf and a saint, she didn't want to go in at all. She leaned against the door, holding up the holy weapon in her right hand, and a wave of holy power quietly emanated.

This feeling is unaware of ordinary people, but Hopler can feel it, warriors can't perceive magic, but they have an extraordinary sense of the environment, he glanced at the door vigilantly, he saw a hand on the door frame, this hand is beautiful, it should be a woman's hand.

After a while the warrior came out, still carrying his axe on his back.

"Yass Langley, what's the matter with me?" Hopler couldn't help but burp.

"Drinking is not good for you. Yass Langli reminded her that although she didn't like the environment of the tavern, she looked at the drunken warrior with no disgust on her expression, more concern.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. The warrior laughed.

"You didn't let the kids touch the bar. Yass Langley's eyes widened, and she had to emphasize this.

"No, no, no. Hoppler hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just taking them to relax, and I will never let them drink." ”

"Then stay with me for a while?" the saint turned her head and motioned for him to follow her.

"Wait a minute" Hopler reached out and pulled Yass Langley, he turned to the tavern and shouted, "I have something to come over later, you guys have shown me well, don't pour alcohol on those two children, or let you know it's awesome!"

There was laughter and boos in the tavern, and Hopler turned and said, "Let's go." ”

"Is it okay?" said Yass Langley, looking worriedly inside the tavern.

"Don't worry, they don't dare. Hopler laughed, "They're just a little bit more powerful, just like Depp." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the warrior regretted it, and the saint's face was obviously not good.

Then Yass Langley and Hopler walked aimlessly along the street, it was now afternoon, there were many pedestrians on the street, the town of Kulo was in the middle of nowhere, although it was only September, but the people on the street were already wearing winter clothes, Yass Langley was only wearing a white robe and Hopler's tall figure was not wearing much, it looked very different on the street, but as adventurers, this situation was very common, so no one paid attention to them.

"Hopler, I'm sorry for this operation. Yass Langli was wrapped in a white robe and wearing a hood, and her voice was a little dull, but she could still hear it clearly, and the first sentence of the conversation between the two was the apology of the saint.

"Why apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, you did your best. The warrior said

The saint shook her head.

Hopler frowned, "No one can save those two people, in fact, it should be said that they saved me." ”

The saint took off her hood, turned her head to look at the warrior, looked at it for a while, and then turned her head back, "Obviously I am the one who is known as the 'sixth', I should... It should be..."Yass Langli couldn't go on, she was obviously talking about the child, but when she saw the warrior, the saint naturally began to talk about it, and once she began to recall, her feelings were a little irrepressible, and this sense of guilt wrapped her, and if she continued to talk about it, she was afraid that it would get out of control.

"Alas" Hopler sighed, although he has been in the tavern every day for the past two days, but the feeling of losing his comrades alone cannot be covered up by alcohol, and he was also caught up in memories when Yass Langli said this, "When I was drinking, I thought it was the drunkard who liked to rub his face with a staff, and that bastard who never got drunk, in the past, every time they finished drinking, they teleported away and left me there alone, and now..."

"Don't talk about them, don't talk about them" The saint wiped the corners of her eyes, "We have to live with their faith, it's too immature for me to be lost in the past, I'm sorry to implicate you." ”

The words of living with faith are very empty in Yass Langley's mouth, the Church of the Holy Word has always played the role of a mentor to guide people, as a priest, Yass Langli can't be so weak in front of people, she must be stronger. The warrior knew in his heart, and he patted her on the shoulder, "Don't force it too hard, Yass Langley." "Time can make up for all wounds, the elf has a long life, she will definitely get better, the warrior thought.

The saint shook her head, "It's okay, thank you." Then they found a chair, and the two of them sat down to rest.

"The children are very close to you," Yass Langley's mood eased, and she turned the conversation to the child.

"yes," Hoppler didn't seem happy about the subject.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't—" Yass Langley felt that her words had brought back a not-so-good memory of Hopler, and she held his hand guiltily

"It's been five years, and if he's still alive, he's probably as old as them. The warrior laughed.

"Hopler, have you ever thought about retiring?" Yass Langli looked at her comrades like this, and felt very uncomfortable, "You are also in your forties, for example, it is not bad to return to the Warrior Guild as an instructor." ”

"Retirement... Let me go back to the Warrior Guild and be an old cow?" Hopler thought for a moment.

"You were also a calf when you first joined the Warrior Guild, and you are now a brute cow after being trained by those old cows, wouldn't it be nice to go back and help those teachers of yours. Yass Langley suggested.

Hopler, who was said by the saint's words, seemed to be a little tempted, "Yass Langley, is there something wrong with you?" the saint must have said this with a purpose, Hopler thought to herself.

"Actually, I want to leave those two children in your care. At first she was reluctant, but seeing Hopler's expression at this time, the saint did not hesitate.

"No problem" Without even thinking about it, Hopler agreed, and yes, of course he would.

"If you take care of them, you probably won't be able to take risks. It felt like Hopler was answering too quickly, and Yass Langley reminded him.

Hopler nodded in understanding, "Like you said, maybe it's time to retire." He looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, and the warrior's vigorous face was calm, "Forty years is probably nothing for you elves, but for humans, half of life has passed, and the body is no longer in those young people." I didn't expect to reach this age. It's also a good idea to leave some effort to teach the calves. ”

"Decided?" Seeing that her comrades-in-arms chose to retire, Yass Langli smiled with relief, at least she didn't have to worry about suddenly receiving the news of the soldier's sacrifice one day.

"Well, let's train these two children well before that. Now that Hoppler had decided, he began to plan.

"They didn't join the Warrior Guild, so they can't use your set, right?"

"It's okay, I'm only going to do basic training, they're twenty years old, it's too late to start training now, you have to start it right away. "Hopler looked serious

"Now there's an old cow's posture, huh?" Hopler didn't say that he would pull them into the warrior guild, which made Yass Langli breathe a sigh of relief.

"But the first time I saw them, I thought these two imps were a little immature, and they seemed to be okay when they were adventuring with us. Hopler recalls the first encounter, and it feels strange.

"Isn't it like they're like a five-year-old kid after the interrogation spell is over?" said Yass Langley, smiling knowingly.

"You did that too?" Seeing the saint laugh, Hopler guessed a little.

"The side effects of interrogating the Word of Divine Word will temporarily lower their minds, and I used it very violently at the time, probably after they were resting. After all, he is twenty years old, and although the child screams, he is not a child anymore. This kind of wandering life should make them more mature than their peers. A leaf floated onto the saint's shoulder, and she picked it up and touched the lines on the surface of the leaf with her left hand.

"Since you say so, they have a rare talent, have you discovered it?" Hoppler was saying as his hand grabbed the leaf in the hand of the saint with great speed, and he grabbed the leaf and tried to take it back, but the leaf was tightly grasped by the saint in his hand, and he was stunned not to snatch it.

"Talent?" the holy woman's hand let go, and Hopler took the leaves.

"It's a talent that many young adventurers don't have. The warrior looked at the leaves in his hand, and he realized that the leaves had been eaten by insects, so he put the leaves back in Yass Langli's hands.

Yass Langli recalled the children's performances, but still had no clue, her right hand pinched the leaves again, and after a burst of light, the leaves turned back to their original healthy green.

"Didn't you notice that they didn't cause trouble when they acted with us?" Hopler's words made Yass Langley think for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "They have no foundation, they are young, and in that situation they are scared and panicked, which is very normal. But they didn't bother us at all, they didn't hold us back, they didn't cause trouble, they just stayed and they stayed away, and I think this talent is very rare. ”

"Don't do what you shouldn't do, shut up when it's time to shut up, and occasionally give you some unexpected discoveries. Yass Langley, who was told by Hopler, also noticed, "It seems to be very amazing." ”

"Being able to know myself clearly, to be where I need to be, to be where I need to be, not to move, I have been through a lot of battles to do it. Hopler admitted

"Know yourself clearly..."Yass Langli repeated, not realizing that it was herself who she weighed, and the saint laughed, maybe she was not as good as those two children in this regard, if... Yass Langli shook his head again, there is no if in this world, at this time, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves on the saint's hand were blown away, and the two stared at the leaves, only to see that he was blown higher and higher by the wind, and finally he couldn't see.

"There's a lot to do, don't let yourself get too tired. The warrior stood up as he spoke, and it seemed that the conversation was ready to end.

The Holy Maiden nodded, "Since you agree to take care of the children, then I can return to the Holy Capital with peace of mind." ”

"When are you leaving?" asked Hopler concerningly.

"Tomorrow. Yass Langley decided at the moment, "Thank you in the end." She stood up and bowed deeply to the warrior.

"Less of this, Yass Langley. Hopler hurriedly picked up the saint, "I'll send you tomorrow when you leave." Hopler proposed.

"Okay. Yass Langli smiled when she heard the warrior say this, "But before that, I have one more thing to do. ”

"What's the matter? Do you want me to help?"

"Can you help me get Lott out? There are some things that need to be asked before I go, and you should come along. ”
