"What's wrong?" Alice's voice came from beside her.
"When did you join the Temple of Light?" I asked calmly.
"Have you decided to join the Temple of Light?" Alice said happily.
I'm just curious how long it will take for the Temple of Light to brainwash a normal person into being like you.
"I am an orphan. I grew up in the orphanage of the Temple of Light. After I discovered that I have the potential to learn light magic, I started to learn from my mentor until I came out to practice not long ago." Seeing that I didn't speak, Alice said to herself.
.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were an orphan." I opened my eyes and climbed up to look at Alice.
"It's okay." Alice said nonchalantly.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with growing up in an orphanage. Everyone is our own relative, especially Sister Catherine." Alice recalled and smiled unconsciously.
"Catherine?"
It's rare for Alice to smile like this.
"Well, the nun in the church who adopted us is a very kind person." Alice nodded.
"So I decided to be a kind person when I grow up and make everyone happy." Alice said firmly.
"Oh, Alice, you are so great." I was afraid of my hands.
"In that case, to celebrate, let's eat mutton tonight." I glanced at Duoduo Sheep following the carriage.
"Qin Xin!" Alice looked at me angrily.
"Look, if I don't have mutton to eat at night, I will be very unlucky. Don't you want to make everyone happy?" I gave a thumbs up.
"But it's unfortunate to do this to the sheep!" Alice puffed up her mouth.
"Yeah, so it's impossible for everyone to be happy." I patted Alice on the shoulder: "You see, the priests of Kerry City will take the lead in fighting with the people of the Dark Temple, even if they win the fight.
I feel happy, but will the people in the Dark Temple feel happy? Will those who were accidentally injured? Accept the reality and stop being so naive."
"I don't believe it. I will definitely make everyone happy."
"Whatever you do, it's your business anyway."
Alice angrily jumped off the carriage and rode on Duo Duo Sheep to the end of the queue.
Phew, it’s finally quiet, I can be lazy, no, it’s to restore my physical strength!
In the afternoon, the team finally arrived at the checkpoint between the mountains.
This unknown level is located on a small road between two mountains. As long as the people guarding it are strong enough, it won't be a problem for one man to block the level and ten thousand others to open it.
After checking the identity documents and paying the toll, the carriage passed the checkpoint.
What? My identity documents? Haven’t you heard of Mercenaries Without Borders?
Sometimes some tasks require crossing the borders of several countries, and sometimes in order to hunt down certain monsters, they even cross the borders unknowingly.
If we were to prepare identity documents, with the communication technology of this world, believe me, many people would cry.
So for mercenaries, the mercenary badge is their identity document. You see, this is my identity document. Why do you, you bastard, charge me double the toll?
I looked at the stone level behind me unhappily. If it weren't for the explosives on my body that couldn't blow up this level, you guys would be screwed, you know?
He put away his injured wallet and continued to lie on the carriage and bump along with it.
After passing the checkpoint, the rest of the road was basically downhill, and the speed of the team obviously began to increase.
In the evening, the second campsite ahead and a small town were already visible in the distance.
The town obviously developed on the basis of horse-drawn carriage teams, and basically all the facilities in the entire town were designed to serve the horse-drawn carriage teams.
This is where the convoy and I parted ways. The convoy will continue to move north to the hinterland of the Holy Empire, while I will move northeast along the mountains to Felice Academy of Magic.
Resting in a second-floor hotel room.
"Qin Xin, this is your commission." Alice handed me a money bag.
"Why so little?" I put the money bag in front of me and looked at Alice puzzled.
This little money is just enough for me to pay the toll through the checkpoint.
"Because you are lazy." Alice said with her hands on her hips.
"I'll strip you naked and throw you out right now!"
"Yeah! Duoduo the sheep!"
"Let me go, why does this beast stay here?!"
After a while.
"Hey, be careful on the road." I lay on the bed and said to Alice who was lying on the other bed.
"Don't worry, someone will come to pick me up." Alice lay on her side beside the bed, stroking Duoduo Sheep's head.
"Really, that's good. Also, I suggest you not to be your candidate saint. I have looked through the records of the mercenary union, and it seems that the endings of the saints of the Temple of Light in the past have not been very good." I looked at it.
Duo Duo Yang said to Alice with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Saints of all ages have sacrificed themselves for people's happiness." Alice pointed at me: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will tie you up and let the sheep lick you!"
I twitched the corners of my mouth and shut up decisively. The beast's tongue was very rough, and it was extremely itchy to lick someone.
But I am not talking nonsense. Although the endings of the saints of the Temple of Light in the past are quite touching, sacrificing themselves to save others and so on, it is definitely a curse that they all died young.
If Alice wants to be a saint, let her do it. If she fails as early as the previous saints, at worst I will burn a temple of light for her, well, it will be paper.
A night of silence.
Early in the morning, I set out with my things on my back, but...
"Didn't you say someone was coming to pick you up?" I looked at Alice beside me while carrying the package.
"Look, over there." Alice pointed forward.
"There's nothing." I glanced at the empty town entrance in front of me.
"That's over there." Alice still pointed forward.
"Everything...I'll go."
Outside the town, at the end of the road, a team of about five hundred knights came out from under the horizon.
Are these here to pick up Alice? That's too exaggerated.
Although I have long heard that the temple power is powerful, the temple power in Crow City is really hard to respect. I feel that they are just a bunch of organized and powerful gangsters, so I have never been too cold towards the people in the temple, but this group of people in front of me
.
Silver-white knight armor covering the whole body, gleaming spear heads, long swords at the waist, white cloaks, and even horses were hung with leather armor.
As someone who often buys weapons made from metal, I know very well that each knight spends at least 500 gold coins just for this set of equipment.
Humanoid self-propelled gold coins, you only need to rob two tuition fees to get them.
"Hey, Qin Xin! Hurry up and put away your greedy eyes!" Alice shook my shoulders vigorously.
"Yeah, a bunch of rich people." I turned my head and muttered.
