Chapter 1: The Return

"Smack, smack. With two pitiful crashes, the two figures slapped face down on the stone slab on the ground, no doubt that they were Shur and Moria, who had been pulled back in time by the divine power of Othor, the Lord of Echoes.

Rubbing his red nose, Xiuer raised his head and looked around, well, his teammates were there, and the five teammates who returned a few days in advance were sitting around in a dignified manner, stuffing snacks into their mouths, while silently witnessing the tragedy, watching the captain being slammed hard, everyone's hearts did not fluctuate, and even wanted to laugh a little.

"Ahem. Xiuer coughed a few times and rubbed his face vigorously, forcibly wiped away the embarrassment and entanglement on his face, and replaced it with his usual smile, "Everyone is here, we are back." Look, I'll just say that we'll be back safely, and you don't have to look like you're going to say goodbye when you leave. ”

Squeak, squeak, no one paid attention to him, and everyone continued to eat their snacks with expressionless faces, only the sound of chewing echoed around.

"That's a helpless choice. Finding that there was really no escape, Shur said with a wry smile, "Actually, you also know what we are going to do, so you should be able to understand why Moria and I didn't let you stay together." ”

"It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to get angry. Mia finally stopped being silent, squinted at Shu'er and snorted coldly, "We don't mind being angry while understanding, there's nothing in the way." ”

"Okay, okay, I apologize. Shure scratched his head, he knew that it would be easy to cause everyone's dissatisfaction by letting his teammates come back in advance, but he had to do it, because the fewer people who entered the Great Rift, the smaller the consumption of Lord Osol's divine power, the higher the success rate, and the shorter the charging time when pulling everyone back.

But just like Mia said, understanding is understanding, and it doesn't prevent you from feeling unhappy about it, so it's easy for teammates to have the illusion that they are a burden, and a close-knit team, once someone has the idea of dragging down the team, it will fall apart sooner or later. In particular, Shure had to conceal the root cause because of the agreement with Anika, which increased everyone's suspicions, so if his decision this time was not handled well, the shadow-chasing team, which was the envy of Pavatiga's shadow-chasers, was likely to be disbanded.

Fortunately, everyone is still very sensible, there is not too much suspicion, even Saf, who is the most dependent on Shuer, did not think crankily because he was excluded, otherwise everyone would not have gathered here and waited for the two to return, although the five people were full of anger, but the fact that everyone appeared here is enough to explain everything.

"Captain, I thought you were going to come back with a shuttle. Mobuck rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted in a thunderous voice, "I actually came back empty-handed, and I didn't even bring us a gift." ”

"Yes, chief, what about our gifts?" As soon as the good brother spoke, Macajeren naturally followed, and the halfling blinked his cunning little eyes and said with a strange smile, "Moreover, this time the Darkmoon Church has a bumper harvest, and we are all impatient to wait for us to be paid when we come back." ”

"Hey, stupid man. Everyone is so familiar, how can they not see the minds of the two fools, Militi sneered and stood up from the skeleton lying on the ground pretending to be a chair, "I'll let you go this time, and there will be a next time...... Forget it, I guess you won't listen to it, if you want this guy to change, I'm afraid you need the creator god to come down. ”

"Xiu, Xiuer has actually changed a lot. Saf cautiously walked up to Shul and secretly looked around Shul to make sure that he was in good shape, and then secretly punched him in the back, making a thumping sound like a drum. Although he did this, the shy female swordsman still mustered up her courage and retorted in a low voice, "He can't do it this time, it's not as unbearable as you say." ”

"That's right, I'm not that bad. Shuer skillfully slapped his face in a familiar position, and said in the female swordsman's short exclamation, "I understand your thoughts, and I know what to do in the future, so don't worry." ”

"Hmph, what are we worried about. Mia twisted her head to the side with a straight face, as if she didn't even bother to look at her captain.

"Hey, hey. "It's safe, as soon as everyone expressed their attitude, Xiuer knew that this relationship crisis was successfully passed, fortunately they are all sensible people, otherwise it would be really troublesome, but if it is not this kind of person, it is impossible to join the team for a long time, it is estimated that Xiuer also took this into account before he dared to take the risk of arranging it like this. Of course, whether this is the case or not, only Xiuer himself knows, he has no intention of telling others, just said with a smile, "It seems that everyone has had a good rest these days, especially ...... Huh, where's Wei?"

Shuer looked around, making sure that Wei didn't appear around silently again, strangely, Wei should have appeared here too.

"The winged man has been here once. Mia said expressionlessly, "Wei left with her, saying that she would be back in a while." ”

"Tsk, she's really in a hurry. Xiuer pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "I can't wait to snatch my adjutant away, I still have something to ask Wei to help with, it seems that I have to go to the bright capital again, and Wei will come back first." ”

"You don't have time for that. Miridy gloated, "Didn't you notice that someone who was supposed to be here didn't show up?"

Shure had already found out.

The environment here is familiar, well, the Temple of Echoes, and the departure point is here. There was almost no change in the surroundings, even the magic circle under his feet and the surrounding magical items remained in the same state as when he set out, the only difference was that the followers of the Lord of Echoes were not here, leaving the space for the Shadow Chasers.

It stands to reason that the shadowchasers are waiting for Shur in the sacrificial hall, and the high-ranking priests of the temple need to be by their side, after all, this is one of the most important places of the church, and it is one of the heads of another church who is waiting. But he didn't show up, and combined with Miridy's teasing, Shul couldn't help but sigh, already thinking of the answer.

"Looks like we're going to have to make another trip to the Temple of the Gods soon. Shul smiled bitterly and sighed, "Well, let's keep it as brief as possible." ”

There is only one possibility that the archbishop is not there, that is, he is busy with other things, and the only thing that can make the other party unable to get away at this time is to prepare for the two non-Oshor believers to pass through the door of faith and go directly to the temple of gods. It is not difficult for the followers of Otor to pass through the Faith Gate of the Echo Temple, but it is more troublesome for the two such as Shul and Moria, and it takes a large number of priests to gather their strength to do so, so it seems that the Lord of the Sky and the several gods involved in his plan are really in a hurry.

"This epoch-making adventure was a success, and I think everyone had a great deal. Knowing that there won't be too much time left for him, and there will be a follow-up to him soon, Xiuer tried his best to speed up his speech, "The specific harvest summary and benefit distribution will be postponed for the time being, the main thing is that there are not too many things of direct value in this adventure, and it is difficult to estimate it directly." In this way, if you don't have anything else important to do, let's go to the Dark Moon Temple and sit together, and when my negotiation with the Lord of the Sky is over, I will go directly back to the Rose Capital to meet you. Well, after the negotiation, you should be able to know the specific harvest of this trip, and the summary of the adventure will be carried out later, no problem. ”

The shadow chasers looked at each other and nodded, for this adventure, everyone's schedule deliberately freed up a lot of time, and it would be good to go to the rose capital together, so it should be a vacation, and when the time comes, Shuer, as the landlord, will always be responsible for receiving everyone, and when the time comes, ...... Hey, hey, hey.

"Don't even think about it. As soon as he saw the malicious smiles on these guys' faces, Shur knew what they were thinking, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I tell you, the Dark Moon Temple only provides accommodation, and it is open-air, and everything else will be taken care of by itself!"

"Shure. Saph didn't follow the others, but said with some concern, "Is there any problem? ”

"Only you can't go. Shul rolled his eyes, "Did you forget something important?"

"Huh?"

"Duck is crying, your students are crying, and a few professors in the Temple of Knowledge, I guess they can't even cry. Shuer said helplessly, "Let's be gone for a month and a half, even if Duck and they climb, they should climb to the Rose Capital, just wait for you to go back and hand over the task, and then start preparing for the school, how can you waste time in the Temple of the Gods." Besides, we are going to the Temple of the Gods, not to any dangerous place, unless nine hundred and twenty-eight gods join forces to beat us up, what danger can there be? If they really want to beat us up, you can't stop them. ”

"Nasty, nasty. The female swordsman's face was flushed, she found that she had really forgotten about the school, and what nonsense this bastard guy was talking about, how could the gods be so idle and would join forces to beat him, well, but it's hard to say, this guy seems to have made many gods want to beat him with their own hands, including the goddess he serves.

"Then it's decided first. After provoking Saf, Shur regained his serious appearance, "You and Saf should go to the Rose Capital as soon as possible, I guess when you arrive, I will almost be able to go back, and then we will meet at the Dark Moon Temple." ”

"That's right. Mia seemed to suddenly remember something, "Yulia asked me to talk to you for her." ”

"Huh?"

"You owe her a lot of money. ”

"Huh?"
