The first batch of owners who "sent" away the cave then rested and slept by the fire. After all, they spent a lot of energy trying to escape during this period.
Kino had already huddled inside and snored after eating. The long-haired Ethan lay with his back to the fire, seemingly not wary of Adolf at all.
Adolf's clothes were still wet, and he was not used to sleeping like this, so he sat on the ground without saying a word, staring at Ethan's back.
This person is known as a follower of Zoroastrianism. He believes that Adolf is the last descendant of the nature of fire and is loyal to him. He has been helpful along the way and does not seem to have any problems on the surface.
But Adolf always retained a suspicion of him.
He said that his secret transmission sequence is the righteous path, and Si Chen of the righteous path is a shepherd. What does the shepherd have to do with the two directions? Why does he call himself a follower of the two directions?
Adolf was a little confused, but at this moment, a long call sounded from the bottom of his heart, and he heard a voice that had not appeared for a long time.
"Mr. Gold Digger..."
Adolf was shocked and realized what this call meant.
But now that there was a storm outside and there were other people in front of him, Adolf had to sleep very quietly.
He thought for a moment and decided that he could not disobey Mr. Yi's call, so he stood up and went deeper behind, leaning against the rock wall alone and using the meditation method to enter a dream.
…
After entering the secret residence, Adolf arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple and stepped inside. What he saw was the long-lost "pagan" hall and a stranger he had never seen before.
He saw a man wearing a white navy uniform with sharp eyes. Although he looked very young, he could feel the coldness in his bones.
This is the temperament of someone who has killed someone, and Adolf knows it well.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of temperament appearing in a soldier, but the other person feels like more than just a soldier. Adolf thinks that the other person is more like the person named Gunter Herbert whom he met not long ago.
Adolf was looking at him, and the navy sergeant was looking at Adolf too.
The strange thing is that no one spoke first.
At this time, in the lobby, Mr. Yi, who was standing in front of the table and offering incense, was slowly turning around.
"You two arrived one after another, so it's quite on time. Why don't you sit down and wait for a while."
Seeing this yellow shadow, Adolf and the navy sergeant showed admiration almost at the same time. They found a futon to sit down respectively. Both of them were almost used to this awkward cushion.
"Mr. Yi, may I ask you..."
"Well... Mr. Gold Digger, please stop talking. Now we still need to wait for Miss Writer."
Adolf's expression changed, while the navy sergeant opposite was a little puzzled. He had never seen anyone else in this Taoist temple except Mr. Yi.
Judging from Mr. Yi's title, the man in front of him and the young lady who was about to arrive next had only one professional or status title, and Mr. Yi did not call them by their real names.
The sensitive navy sergeant immediately wondered whether the people summoned by Mr. Yi were hiding their true identities from each other?
Of course, the Navy sergeant was Mike Cambino who was the first to respond to the call and come to the appointment. He secretly buried this suspicion in his heart and waited for the next exchange.
Not long after, a certain spiritual tablet in the lobby kept flashing. Mr. Yi hummed softly and reached out to click on the spiritual tablet. Then the scenery outside the window was distorted and a short-haired man suddenly appeared at the originally deserted doorway.
Beautiful slim woman.
Mike stared at the woman outside the door, and his heart moved slightly. After all, the woman was beautiful, and it was normal for men to pay more attention to her.
However, Mike had a feeling that this woman's heart was full of gloom, and the stiff smile on her face could not hide the sadness inside.
"Welcome, Miss Writer, did you enjoy the train journey?"
Mr. Yi invited the lady to come in, and Abigail kept a difficult smile.
When she came to the lobby, she also found that in addition to the long-lost Mr. Gold Digger, there was also a stranger in the Taoist temple that she had never seen before.
"There are currently three people chosen by the Taoist temple. How about introducing yourself to each other?"
Now that Mr. Yi had given the order, Adolf stopped being mute. He was the first to look at the navy sergeant opposite and introduced himself: "Gold digger..."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking. When Mike saw that he did not introduce himself to the lady, he realized that they already knew each other.
Then, Mike looked at the lady not far away, whose voice was dull and lifeless: "Hello... hello, please call me... writer..."
While talking, others suddenly discovered that there was a black and thin layer of something around the writer's body. It was like some kind of weak energy, wrapped around the surface of her body, and something strange appeared on the ground she stepped on.
There are dark spots, as if the floor paved with bluestone has been dyed a deeper color.
This dark color did not spread, but only focused on Abigail's feet.
Adolf and Michael both noticed it, but they didn't know what it was.
Seeing that the men and women on the opposite side had finished introducing each other, Mike said, "Thank you, you can call me... the Fire Stealer!"
Fire thief?
Victor, hidden in the yellow shadow, couldn't help but be curious about Mike's self-proclaimed name.
In his world, fire thieves were heroes who betrayed their own class and brought hope to mankind. What does the fire thieves mean in this world?
Is Mike taking a stand?
Now that the introductions to each other were completed, Victor, who knew their details best, sat among the crowd and communicated with the three of them as Mr. Yi.
"Today's gathering is about understanding each other and emphasizing our purpose."
Adolf and Abigail both knew what the purpose was.
Mr. Yi mentioned to them that it was to kill the gods and kill the ancestral spirit of Valentan.
Adolf believed that this was a necessary means for Mr. Yi to ascend to the gods, so he was extremely obsessed with it and held the speculative feeling that one person would achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
As for Abigail, she has nothing but hatred and sadness now.
Their expressions were different, but they both clearly understood the purpose Mr. Yi mentioned.
Only Mike was confused and had no idea what Mr. Yi meant.
"Share... what you know and what you have encountered, do you have anything to talk about?" Mr. Yi sat upright, with a more natural posture than the others. He was obviously teaching them how to sit on a futon so that their buttocks and knees would not hurt at the same time.
.
But the three of them were unaware of Mr. Yi's intentions, and Adolf spoke first.
"I'm still camping in the wilderness in the east. I still haven't found the three secret clues I need, but I got something else. I hope I can ask Mr. Yi for advice..."
Adolf only said half of what he said, and then he glanced at everyone. Victor nodded and responded calmly: "The equal-price transaction at the gathering is still valid today."
