As he followed Phyllis to his room, Jude noticed that the hillside was home to the Aeolus Cult, but it was completely invisible from the outside, and he couldn't help but ask the guide beside him what kind of secret art it was.

"This is the enchantment of our sect, guest. The woman known as Phyllis smiled and replied, "Only those who have passed the path of ascension can enter the enchantment. You are a guest of the envoy, so I will tell you about it secretly, but please do not tell anyone else. ”

The path of ascension refers to the passage formed by the air flow on the surface of the lake? This place seems to be in a different phase from the outside world, and what a powerful spell it is to construct such a magical barrier.

"Really...... Magical. Jude couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Aeolus Sect.

"Enchantments are a gift from the god of wind. Phyllis suddenly looked respectful, "Everything we have is a gift from him. We dedicate our lives and faith to the great god of wind. Ek_Nela_Kogside。 ”

As she spoke, the woman made a simple prayer gesture.

After all, she was a cultist, and Jude stared at the white and blue uniform that Phyllis was wearing, he was quite disgusted by these formalistic rituals, but this was Linda's sect, and the teenager decided to put up with it for a while.

"What's the matter, guest, are you interested in our sect's costume? Do you need me to get you one?" asked Phyllis politely.

Jude hurriedly shook his head: "No, no need. ”

-

The boy sat in a spacious, bright room, which, according to Phyllis, was the highest standard room in the sect, reserved for entertaining VIPs.

It was a world away from the tavern room he had stayed in Levis, Jude touched the soft velvet quilt, the warm daylight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the washed berries on the table, and even the wool carpet underfoot was embroidered with beautiful pictures.

Picking up one of these crystal clear shallow green wild berries from the fruit bowl, the boy had heard of them, and it seemed to be called the diamond berry, a specialty of the Tara grasslands.

Chew in your mouth, tender and juicy, fresh sweetness with just the right amount of slightly acidity, the taste is quite like the combination of green grapes and raspberries. Feeling the delicious sweet and sour taste buds, Jude couldn't help but praise this local specialty, and suddenly remembered that Leia in her hometown loves cherries.

It's a pity that the road is too far, otherwise I would have brought some back for her to taste, the boy thought so, wondering how the people in the town were doing now, and whether they were worried about themselves. He had planned to return to Lambertine after sending Linda to Nanfeng Village, but now that the girl had returned to the Church and was no longer in danger, it was almost time for him to say goodbye.

But Jude always remembered the words of the voice the night before: "When you arrive at Southwind Village, Linda will have a solemn request, and all you have to do at that time is to refuse her, and then hurry home and go back to Lambertine." ”

What exactly does this mean, the boy unconsciously fell into deep thought, and it seemed to be able to foresee the future, as if it had insight into everything.

But should he follow its instructions? Jude was troubled, for he had long acted on his own judgment, and this unprovoked act of listening to others was confusing and uneasy to the boy.

Or would it be better to hear what Linda's request was, or would she not make it? That voice doesn't really have insight into the future, right?, Jude decided to continue to watch the events and let things take its course, so he picked up another diamondberry and put it in his mouth.

Before the boy could eat a few berries, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and three polite and standard knocks, but the strength was not lost.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jude. Phyllis's voice rang out from outside the door, "The envoy is waiting for you at the Sky Altar, I wonder if it's convenient for you now?"

It was the first time someone had called him sir, and Jude was quite emotional, standing up and responding, "Wait a minute." ”

-

It wasn't long before the boy followed Phyllis to the highest point of the hillside.

It is an open hilltop clearing, and from the edge of it, you can overlook the scenery below, with a panoramic view of the flat grassland and the vast sky.

In the center of the clearing was a circular circle of stone strips, what was called the Sky Altar? Jude observed the ground, and the stones seemed to be placed according to some strange pattern, perhaps with some magical effect.

But what about Linda? The boy looked around, and there was no third person here except Phyllis and himself.

Just as she was about to ask a question, Phyllis motioned for Jude to join her in the circle, and then began to chant the incantation softly.

The moment she finished reading, the boy's vision changed abruptly, and he felt intensely dizzy, similar to how he had felt when he first tried the "phase shift" spell. After struggling to overcome his discomfort, Jude finds himself on the edge of the small floating island, a misty cloud that spreads around him. Overlooking the foot, the village of Nanfeng on the hillside by the lake is clearly visible.

The boy was amazed that the island was floating in the sky, and he couldn't imagine how it did it.

Linda was standing not far away with her back to him, and in front of her was a mysterious altar that was also made of strips of stone. Approaching the girl, Jude found her clasping her hands in prayer, her eyes closed and her expression focused, even her standing posture was very standard. Seeing this scene, the young man had an unspeakable feeling, and turned his head to find Phyllis standing respectfully in the distance, Jude decided not to disturb Linda for the time being.

It didn't take long for Linda to seem to end her prayer, opening her eyes and looking at the teenager beside her after completing the complicated termination.

"Jude, you're here. The girl's blue eyes were still calm, but somehow the young man saw a little helplessness in it, "Thank you for protecting my Muslim sect, thank you very much." Make a request, Jude, if the sect can do it, we will satisfy you. ”

Linda's repayment, Jude stared at the girl in front of her, she had changed into a white and green ceremonial robe, and the silver and white short skirt was probably a travel dress. Unexpectedly, Linda seemed to be the leader of the Aeolus Sect, and it must have been very difficult for her to support such a mysterious religion alone.

Though she may have miraculously great power, she was still a maiden, thin and lonely, and her weak shoulders did not deserve such a heavy responsibility. In the future, she may also travel alone through the wilderness, to the ruins of the deep mountains, to fight the occultists, and experience more dangers. Jude doesn't know why she's in this situation, but he's convinced that it's all unfair to Linda.

The voice said that Linda was going to make a request, but she didn't, instead, the girl asked herself to make one.

After careful consideration, Jude made up his mind.

"Can I ask for anything?" asked the boy to confirm.

"Hmm. As long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy you. ”

"So ......"

He took a deep breath and said the words out loud: "My request is: stop taking risks alone and let me face it with you." ”

This was the first time Jude had seen Linda stunned.

The girl's delicate features seemed to freeze, and the boy stared into her eyes, and he clearly saw ripples on the calm surface of the lake, and then calmed down again.

"Thank you, Jude. But ......"

This was the first time Jude had interrupted Linda: "Don't turn me down. You said: As long as you can do it, you will definitely satisfy me. ”

There was a long silence.

For the first time, the boy realized that he could be so brave, and he stared firmly into her gaze, unwavering.

"Hmm. The girl looked hesitant, she wanted to say and stopped, "Thank you...... Well, thank you so much, Jude. ”

"But...... However, the actions of the sect are very dangerous. Jude, I don't want you to be with me...... Venture. ”

Is that so, Jude continued to stare at the girl, and he could clearly see worry and a little loneliness in her pupils.

Then he must become stronger, strong enough to protect Linda and assist her in her mission of the Sect.

"So, Linda, I'm going to train myself and get stronger until I meet your expectations. The boy's tone was resolute.

There was silence for a long time, until the girl hesitated and said, "Well, then we will agree on three years." Three years later, we are reunited. If there is an important task during this period, I will let you know, and if you feel that you are up to it, you will come back to help me...... Is that okay?"

"Okay. Jude agreed without hesitation, completely oblivious to the voice's reminder, "How are you going to contact me?"

"Take this crystal. Linda took out a small piece of light cyan transparent crystal out of nowhere and handed it to Nian's hand, "It can deliver my message, and if there is any action, I will contact you through it." ”

In the past three years, he must have practiced swordsmanship and magic hard, striving to become the elite of the sword singers that Nosa said, and then came back to assist Linda in completing the tasks of the sect. He made up his mind as he carefully took the crystal, then looked at the girl and nodded solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the messenger Linda has reconnected with the Heavenly Court. Lord Southwind reminded.

"But she can no longer borrow our strength, the plan has failed, give it up. Zephricher, Lord of Zephyr, pointed out the problem sharply.

"There is still a turnaround," Sandresh tried to argue, "we can try to investigate the problem and then ......"

But the East Wind Lord Glonado cut it off: "It's too troublesome! If you want me to say, we should immediately gather our troops and prepare for a frontal attack!"

"I agree. These mortals are so arrogant and arrogant that they must be punished. The Lord of the North Wind, Cherez, immediately expressed his support, "No matter what the process is, everything will eventually have to be resorted to force. ”

"However, it is not easy for us to directly cross the wall of the plane and force the battle due to the repulsion. We're going to face losses, is it really worth it?" the Lord of Favonius deliberately reread the word "loss."

The irritable East Wind Lord was immediately aroused: "Shut up, Zephricher!Are you questioning my power?!"

"Enough. Quarrels don't solve anything, you should know. It was still the Wind Emperor who put the dispute to rest, "For the time being, give Sandresh some time to investigate the matter." What do you think?"

The Lord of the North Wind did not hesitate to express his loyalty: "Do as you command, your word is the law of the sky." ”

"Yes, let's see what Sandresh will do. Zephricher sounded a little happy.

Only the East Wind Lord still seemed to be unconvinced: "Wind Emperor, I listen to you." But I will gather my subordinates and prepare them for battle. If Sandresh can't solve the problem, let me be your vanguard. ”

"Yes. If you have no objections, then for now. Norver Azeron's voice was majestic and solemn, "I hope Sandresh can handle it properly." ”

"I will do my best to resolve this matter and give you a satisfactory answer. The Lord of the South Wind felt the pressure, "I won't let you down, Wind Emperor. ”
