Before Aloy, the Bajou allowed the pirate cities of the west to land outsiders, but completely ignored these creatures who were "slightly better than the undead".

And since Aloy became the True One through the trials of Naga Kapoulos and led the Bajou sect for so many years, she broke with tradition and intended to protect the Birgewaters, believing that there were also people there who could pass the trials of the gods and become devout believers.

Bilgewater was able to build a handful of Bajou temples thanks to Eloy's efforts.

But the development of the Sentinels of Light is diametrically opposed.

In the past few hundred years, due to the outbreak of the Curse of Destruction and the martyrdom of 17 Elders of the Shining Tower, the Sentinels of Light, who have devoted themselves to the development of weapons capable of fighting the undead, have become the largest organization.

Back in Bilgewater, the strongholds of the Sentinels of Light could be found throughout the city.

It's just that the essence of the Hailiya system is entirely based on the premise of "quality", and most of the scholars of Fukukoshima have never delved into politics.

The bad roots of human nature are revealed, and Bilgewater's disintegration is only a moment.

The Sentinels of Light removed almost all of their strongholds, leaving only the main sanctuary in the mountains.

If it weren't for the fact that the Python Islands were the most infested by the black fog, and that Baju had close ties to Fuguang Island and Vasani, they would have evacuated this hopeless city long ago.

Josh smiled bitterly, "It's good if she doesn't skin me."

However, on the whole, the second floor is mainly used for research, medical treatment, meetings and training, and is the main place for the sentinels' activities.

Gwen bit her lip and didn't answer, she walked past Josh, ran out of the door, and looked down the hallway.

"This is the first time I've had my own room! I'm so happy!"

The bald head on his right side has a white baru mark that looks like a tentacle, almost the same as the pattern of his thick arms, but the color is different from the usual baru tattoo.

Since Josh had just returned to reality, he was not familiar with the operation of the Light Sentinel, which had been developed for thousands of years, and could not help much.

Coupled with the cost of casting magic, his chest was already hungry and pressed against his back.

"I received a magical message from the Bajou Temple last night."

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

Due to the limited space in the temple, each bedroom here is far less spacious than the suites in Fukukojima, which is probably a standard single room.

Gwen looked back at Josh and blinked her glittering eyes, "Can I borrow some fabric and needlework to make clothes?!"

The structure of the Sentinel Sanctuary in the Python Islands is not complicated, and it is not a small gap compared to the Light Sanctuary on Fuguang Island thousands of years ago.

Then Borut said to Levi, "As for this one......

Josh and Gwen looked in the direction of the source of the sound at the same time, only to see a burly man in a sentry robe smiling and hurrying up to meet him.

"You're too serious, but the boss is after you...... Forget it, I don't dare to say more, you should ask her directly when the time comes."

"Grandmaster Josh Russell, welcome back...... She'll be happy, Boss."

With Naga Kapolos' help, the sudden early arrival of the Night of Eclipse did not cause the expected damage.

….

Then, the aura of magic drove the gears of the trap to move, and it completely blended with the rock wall, and the stone door, which was not visible from the outside, slowly spread out to both sides.

After a quick and brief introduction, it was time for breakfast when Livi led Josh and Gwen to the restaurant on the second floor.

As a special "magical species", she does not need to eat, and cannot obtain any energy from food.

Most of the sentinels who returned to the temple at this time were injured in the fight against the black fog last night.

[Huh? It seems that the little fox seems to have changed a lot in the past thousand years. Lunicia couldn't help but be amazed.

Borut also laughed, patted the shoulder of the strong man who had just walked up, and introduced Josh:

"This is the head of the Bright Sentinel Python Islands Branch, Levai, this guy is a veteran who has personally resisted the Black Mist more than ten times!"

The staircase from the third floor to the fourth floor is usually locked by an iron door with a double safety of rune locks and trap locks, and only Livai and the senior support who are responsible for managing it have the key.

As for the bathrooms and toilets, you need to go to the common areas where men and women are separated.

The fourth floor is more important, which belongs to the storehouse where materials, sacred stones, and various magical artifacts that can deal with the black fog are stored.

Josh doesn't care about the living environment, he just needs to practice anyway.

"There's still half a month......

The man was about two meters tall, with almost shaved brownish-black hair, except for a small piece of long hair tied up at the top of his head and the back of his head in a ponytail, which connected to the thick beard on his cheeks.

Josh hadn't eaten for almost a day since he left, including dinner before the previous big game against Foyego.

The survivors of the city are still counting casualties and property damage.

There is only a single bed, a wardrobe, a desk and chair, and storage boxes for storing things in the bed.

Instead, Gwen has to expend mana to completely break down the food scraps she eats.

There weren't many sentinels in the Temple of Light on the first floor, except for a few young-looking apprentices who were concentrating on the prayers carved on the walls.

"Please wait a moment."

Gwen followed part of her master, Isolde, and if she became a human, she would most likely inherit Isolde's mantle and become an excellent tailor if it were not for the threat of Foyego.

Hearing Levi say this, Josh suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

……

It wasn't until Borut took Josh and Gwen up the spiral stone staircase in the center of the hall to the second floor that the deserted temple felt a little bit of popularity...... and a hint of blood.

Before Josh could say the word "rest", he saw Gwen's originally happy expression suddenly change, and his whole expression suddenly became sad.

In fact, in the time gap, Josh did not eat for nearly two centuries.

But for Gwen, just this level of room excites her.

"Wow! Is this my room?"

Borut replied with a reply, then stepped forward and pressed a faint bulge in the rock wall.

Seeing Borut's figure disappear into the spiral staircase, Levi continued to say to Josh, "Grandmaster Russell, let me show you around this place!"

….

She gestured to the empty closet with open arms, "I want to make so many beautiful clothes to fill this closet...... Of course, you can also make clothes for you and others~~."

"Now that the Night of Soul Eclipse has attacked in advance, the boss will definitely take a clipper, and it should only take half a month to get there."

After finishing his meal, Levi left in a hurry as if he had received some bad news.

A thick, deep mature male voice floated from not far away, echoing in the empty hall: "Look who this is? What a rarity!"

The third floor is the area related to food and lodging, where the sentinels live.

"Here we are, Grandmaster Russell."

An empty hall perfectly hidden in the mountain rocks suddenly met the eyes of the three people.

Levi's eyes were focused on Josh, his tone respectful and bowing.

Levi thought briefly, "The Sentinel's headquarters are in the Haven Cliffs of Demacia, and it will be at least a month's voyage from Bilgewater.

When it comes to the sumptuous seafood soup, grilled fish, and fragrant toast, Josh is not polite, and immediately feasts on it, as if he has not eaten in several lifetimes.

However, Gwen is still the first time to come into contact with human food in the true sense of the word, so it is natural to taste it.

"I can talk to Levi about it, but until then......" Josh pointed out of bed, "You still are."

Let's rest first......

Inheriting the Bajou bloodline, Levai chose the Sentinels of Light, so he naturally had a lot of contact with people from other regions, and he did not have the traditional xenophobic thinking of the Bajou people, but was very familiar.

"Gwen? What's wrong with you?"

[There is a very faint familiar atmosphere, I almost didn't feel it.] Lunicia opened her mouth to remind, "It seems to be the same origin as the little doll. 】

Even if Kieran's tower is independent of the timeline, there are a lot of sumptuous delicacies, the body doesn't need it, and eating can only be regarded as a waste of time,

Gwen is not a human in the true sense of the word, and is intertwined with rune magic, spiritual magic, and Isold's soul fragments, resulting in an extremely wonderful magical reaction and gaining freedom.

Borut smiled back, made a "please" gesture, and led the way into the temple.

Geometrically symmetrical shapes such as triangles and diamonds are carved into the rock floors and walls, including the load-bearing columns, all of which are meticulous and perfect, in stark contrast to the randomness, triviality, and clutter of the Bajou temple on the other side of Rat Town.

The Bajou Guard, Borut, led Josh out of Grey Harbor and up the path from the halfway point from the dock harbor to the Bajou Grottoes, where the Sanctuary of Light was hidden deep in the mountains and mingled with the Bajou people.

"Don't worry, you are the boss's lover, and as the host of the Python Islands branch, I will definitely treat you well!"

Gwen rushed into the room and sat down on the bed, then got up and opened the desk drawer, opened the storage box to check it out, and finally opened the small wardrobe by the wall.

As for the bit of mana consumed, it can be replenished after a short rest.

"Levi, good brother! I've brought you a distinguished guest."

Even if the body has all kinds of internal organs, it is no different from the human body structure.

Moreover, he hadn't rested for a long time, and the world rune fragments had no effect on his mental structure, but they were under a lot of pressure on his body.

……

Seeing that the two of them were almost acquainted, Borut took the initiative to say goodbye: "The Baru Temple still needs my help, so I'll leave first."

It is divided into five floors, except for the first floor where theoretical knowledge and prayers are studied, and the fifth floor where the former sentinel leaders live, which are now vacant, the remaining three floors are divided into small areas.

Before leaving, Livay arranged for a logistics sentry to prepare a room for Josh and Gwen to rest.

At the end of a small path, a rock wall suddenly rose from the ground and blocked the way of the three of them.

Unlike the Bajou, the Sanctuary of the Sentinels of Light incorporates much of what was once Halia's style.

A pair of gray-white eyes are blazing, flashing with resolute brilliance, and the whole body is full of the common fierce aura of the Baru people.

Josh raised an eyebrow and stepped out of the door to stand beside Gwen, following her line of sight.

There was no one else in the hallway, only a tall and a short sentinel man and woman who had just passed the door.

Gwen's hesitant gaze was fixed on the young woman who looked a generation younger than the man.

"That's ...... Isolde?!"
