Chapter 54: The Night of the Slaughter at the Great Temple of Ersomso—Interlude

When the first rays of sunlight shine into the sacred place on the morning of January 14, the flowers and trees that surround the statue and the garden of the sages in front of the prayer hall immediately take on their most beautiful form.

Dots of sparkling sparkle on the petals of the leaves, green vines go up the pillars, and flowers poke their heads out from behind the vines. The plain temple is decorated with colorful colors.

The Garden of the Wise and the Great Hall of Blessing had been spotlessly cleaned, and several temple spirits in white robes were busy going back and forth inside.

Under this peace and quiet, it was as if everything that happened last night was a dream.

It was the morning of January 14, just before seven o'clock in the morning.

Unlike the temple elves in white clothes and white hats, two men emerged from the inner sanctum of the Great Temple of Ersomso, their pure black robes concealing all of their recognizable features.

Walking to the door of the main hall, one of them was about to leave, and before leaving, he turned around and gave a warm and tight hug to the person behind him, with indescribable reluctance.

There are no people around who don't belong to the temple, only the temple spirits who are busy going back and forth, those who are kind and pure, and serve the temple wholeheartedly.

"Well, from today onwards, I've worked hard for you!" was a short sentence that came out with mental power, but it seemed to tell a thousand words.

How could he not understand that everything that the person in front of him was going to say, he was willing to stay in the depths of darkness for the sake of that unattainable dream.

There is no mental power to respond, so I can only nod my head vigorously.

Then he watched as the man in front of him turned around again, the black robe in a dashing arc behind him, and then, as he strode away, his vision gradually blurred.

He was still at the gate of the temple, and he always stood in place and stared, unwilling to move.

A moment later, there was another person behind him, a tall, but much thinner man than the man he had just left.

"My lord, please go back!"

“...... Koma Ghost, let me look at it for a while, his breath is still there......"

In reply, he could hear that he was obviously trembling in control, and continued to gaze, as if he had become a sculpture, only the black flying cloth gave the sculpture a little bit of life.

He didn't continue to urge, and the man in the white robe behind him waited with him.

Last night was probably the last night with the person who left.

For a long time after that, perhaps until death, the two of them could not see each other's faces again, so they stayed desperately.

For their brief reunion, the people who fought in the royal capital paid the price of blood, but this could not be exchanged for a little compassion for the person who had just left.

Because his mind is all here, and all in the future, on the difficult road where he doesn't know where to start.

The man who was left to never see each other again always stood, and the pure air here and the protection of the shrine allowed his special physique to remain calm without taking medicine. This is another reason why he was stayed.

As for the most important reason, it is unknown.

As the minutes passed, the person behind him always guarded him less than three steps away, silently waiting for the sad mood to be calmed down.

The hour was passing and the sun was blinding, and it was supposed to be almost nine o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, all the temple elves who had just been quiet and without a trace of evil aura had grown huge wings, and their bodies had become much smaller.

They threw down what they were holdings, flew into the sky, and in an instant they all disappeared into the dense forest, without a trace.

The Sage's Garden in the Great Temple of Ursomso began to sink to the ground, less than an inch from the tiptoes of the people who remained.

But he was not afraid, and still maintained his original posture, except that the only exposed lip looked trembling even more, and the slightest stream of water on his face kept sliding into the neckline, and the clothes on his chest were already wet.

As if overturned, the floor of the Sage's Garden was shattered, and the black earth was turned from the lower to the top.

Inside were the remains of many dead elves. These are the original, real temple spirits who were slaughtered in a dream last night.

And those just now are just the winged spirits who stayed here as temporary guards.

As for who sent them, then there is no need to guess! there is no doubt that it has something to do with the Winged Spirit King Peerless Luojia.

But this does not mean that the temple elves who were thrown underground were sent by the Winged Spirit King, and where the Winged Spirit King is now is a mystery.

And how could the kind and simple Wing Spirits hurt the temple elves who were even more kind and simple than them?

So let's bury this mystery deep underground with the remains of these temple spirits along with the Sage's Garden, and let the future young heroes come here to find the answer themselves.

After the Sage's Garden was completely buried, the front of the Great Temple of Ursomso turned into a bottomless black abyss.

Then a long time passed, until a rumbling sound came from the ground, and a huge disc stone engraved with the image of a thunder dragon flying above the clouds and holding the scorching sun in its mouth gradually rose to the ground.

Until it completely coincides with the gap in the ground and there is not a single gap in sight.

This is the seal exclusive to the cloud dragon, and no one can step on it, otherwise it will instantly become a scorched ash and dissipate into the air.

Outsiders can't step in, that is, people on the inside can't step out. So, those who remain can only wait, wait for those they are waiting for, and wait for the fate they are waiting for.

Finally, he was willing to return to the Great Temple, he walked slowly, step by step, and in the long years to come, he would never be able to see the sun and his lover outside the temple again.

Only the loyal person who is responsible for guarding him, who has finally turned from a ghost to a human, will accompany him in his loneliness in the silent years......
