Shaking his head to shove dark memories out of his head, Billy tightened his collar. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There are two seasons inside and outside the hotel, and the cold wind is raging on the streets with ice slag, and the faces of travelers hurt.

Even though it had been a short time since he arrived on the frozen shore, the young priest still hadn't been able to adjust to the cold, and his warm mouth exhaled a long white breath, and Billy casually complained, "This weather is really unfriendly. ”

"Although the wind is cold, the hearts of the polar people are warm, and although the weather is harsh to outsiders, the frozen coast is extremely friendly to friends who come from afar. ”

The clear voice took Billy's complaint, and the kindness revealed in his words was sent into the heart of the priest like a spring breeze.

"I'm sorry...... Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Riffin, it's been a long time. ”

Good upbringing made Billy hurriedly apologize, after all, it was indeed rude to complain about his hometown in front of people. However, when the priest turned around, he realized that it was Riffin Talian who had just spoken to him.

To be honest, the priest was not familiar with the young master of the Talyan family, and the relationship between the two was limited to being able to say hello when they met. However, it is indeed very happy to meet someone I know in the Silver Gray City, where I am not familiar with my life.

"yes, long time no see. ”

Riffin was still polite, and he wanted to step forward and stand side by side with Billy on the steps of the hotel, but for some reason he stopped, and his originally kind smile became a little stiff.

"What's wrong?"

Billy followed his gaze and looked back to spot the windmill hanging high above the eaves of the inn.

It is made entirely of silver, with long, pointed blades and hollowed-out patterns. The windmill is the size of an adult's fist, and it looks like some kind of beacon with a special meaning.

Perhaps most people don't know about it, but Billy, who is a priest at the Temple of Dawn, is no stranger to it, a windmill from the "Temple of the Stars" and the emblem of Clairet, the "God of Journey and Guidance".

It was a medium-sized deity, but it was only not known for being too low-key.

Unlike the other gods, this deity was not very keen on developing his faith, so much so that it was almost impossible to see a shrine dedicated to his crown except in the coastal ports.

"The emblem of the guide......?

Billy wouldn't have noticed the sign placed above the eaves if it hadn't been for Riffin's reminder, but it wasn't a big deal, the presence of the beacon at most meant that the owner of the inn was a devout disciple of the "Guide", and that the entire inn was under the watchful eye and protection of Clairet's crown, and nothing else.

Although the relationship between the "Lord of Dawn" and the "Guide" is not good, this is also a matter of the two temples, and it does not involve ordinary believers.

Just like the "Goddess of Winter" and the "God of War" back then, no matter how bad the relationship between the two gods is, the Temple of War has never refused to help adventurers who believe in the "Goddess of Winter", of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that Ares can't beat each other......

"yes, that's rare. ”

Riffin casually complied, and retreated some distance without a trace, as if he wanted to stay away from the inn.

"Perhaps the innkeeper is an adventurer who has settled here, and faith is an expression of the autonomy of the soul, so why should Mr. Riffin be angry. ”

Billy didn't notice that Riffin's figure had retreated slightly, and he thought that the other man's face was ugly because he saw that the innkeeper believed in other gods, so he was relieved.

The reason why the priest thinks this way is also influenced by what he has seen and heard these days.

Through his observations in the past few days, he has a deep understanding of the significance of the "Goddess of Winter" to the people of the frozen coast. In their minds, the word represents not only the fallen goddess, but also the beginning of many folklore on the frozen coast.

"Winter" not only carries their memories of their ancestors, but also many more things.

It has become a culture, a habit and a norm that permeates every aspect of their lives. It is this habit that has forged the foundation of the Frozen Coast's impregnable belief in the "Goddess of Winter".

That's why the Church of Callian warned him not to convert the people here to the "Lord of the Dawn."

The people here are very tolerant of outsiders, but extremely resistant to the conversion of locals, which is why Billy will persuade Riffin to say that the owner of this inn is an adventurer who has settled here.

Of course, the young priest was not talking nonsense, although he had not met the owner of the shop many times, and had not had any verbal conversations, but judging by the words he said when he instructed the maid, it seemed to have a certain Seglian accent.

"You're right, I'm too extreme. ”

Riffin's gaze moved away from the windmill, and the whole person returned to his old demeanor again: "By the way, how did the Billy Sacrifice get here?"

"Oh, it's my first time on the Frozen Shores, so I'm begging Lord Kalian to show me around. Billy, who couldn't say the purpose of the trip, said casually.

"I see. ”

Riffin nodded, agreeing with the other party's explanation.

"Mr. Riffin, I remember that you just returned to your hometown, why don't you spend more time with Baron Ryan Reese?"

The priest subtly changed the subject, showing his curiosity by the way.

"Sent by my father to visit the Count of Cheno......"

In Riefin's explanation, Billy walked slowly down the steps and casually asked, "Business?"

"No, it's just a private visit, a gift. ”

"There's a friendship between the Tallian family and the Morte family?"

Ever since Bishop Kalian had last visited Count Cheno, he had been lost to his thoughts, and Billy, who had already understood the true nature of the mission, was extremely concerned about any news about the Morte family.

"Of course, my great-grandfather's daughter was the wife of the Count of Tomman, and our two families were close friends. ”

"That's right......."

The priest showed a look of understanding, originally he wondered why Bishop Kalian chose the Talyan family as a breakthrough in the first place, but now he realized that the two families were related.

Compared to other families that are related to Morte, Talian should be the less powerful one, and among them, there is also Rifin, a descendant who is close to the Temple of Dawn, no matter how you look at it, it is the best breakthrough. But alas, Bishop Kalian failed, and Baron Lane Rees rejected him.

"So what are you...... Ready to leave?"

Billy wanted to get closer to Riffin, hoping that he could become a bridge of communication between the temple and the Morte family, but looking at the other party's outfit, it seemed that he was ready to leave?

"I was going to leave today, but I happened to meet you. After explaining, Riffin invited: "Do you mind visiting Silver Gray City with me, although I haven't been here a few times, but I'm barely qualified to be your tour guide." ”

"This ...... It's a waste of your time, isn't it?"

The priest's tone was a little slurred, and reason told him that he should agree, this was a good opportunity to enhance the friendship between the two, but his cultivation was always reminding himself that he should not delay others coming home.

"On the contrary, it saves me a lot of time. Riffin said pointedly, and before Billy could be confused, he diverted the subject: "Come with me, Billy, and feel the friendship of the polar people by the way." ”

"I think I've felt it. ”

"No, it's not enough. ”
