……

Aurora hurriedly took several demon hunters to the backyard of the temple to set up horses and carriages.

And Nanike led the mighty crowd into the corridor of the side hall.

The children craned their necks curiously to look around.

Inside the open wooden doors on the side of the corridor, in the quiet room lit with white candles, there are believers praying to the statue of the goddess, looking at the poor in coarse linen and the rich in silk and sable fur.

Piety knows no class.

There are also some people who look ragged, and their thin cheeks are condensed with far more than ordinary sorrow, which can be called bitterness and hatred.

"Refugees from Sintra and Verdon?" Roy asked.

"When the war first broke out, the temple accepted hundreds of refugees."

Nannik noticed everyone's gaze and patiently explained,

"But now the conflict has subsided, and most of the refugees have long been naturalized by Vizima... Foltest took a lot of land in this war, but most of them were destroyed by the war, leaving nothing to be done, Temeria There is a shortage of manpower, and refugees are not rejected." Nanike paused, "The newly emerging churches in Vizima have also made a lot of efforts in recent years, and they are very considerate in arranging jobs and accommodation for the poor."

"The Church of Virtue?" Roy's heart moved, and the pretty faces of Princess Adda and Goddess Vivienne appeared in front of him again.

"It is rumored that this church is backed by the Lady of the Lake. In the past two years in Vizima City, its influence has surpassed that of the Eternal Flame, and it is almost on par with the goddess Melitelli." Nennik was slightly surprised. Said, "It's just that the influence is limited to the Vizima Lake area, and it has not expanded outward."

……

When passing by one of the rooms, Roy couldn't help but stop.

The bright candlelight illuminates three figures in the room. A young man wearing a scholar's robe exuding a strong bookish atmosphere and squinting his eyes due to myopia is referring to a "World Wide Encyclopedia", reciting a passage in a clear voice. Literature on "Swift".

The boy with short black hair and the girl with two braids sat upright on the table and chair under him, with their ears pricked up, staring at the teacher intently, nodding from time to time, as if they heard the master's order Puppy.

Wearing a temple-style gray coat and skirt, she looks quite outstanding, with fair and delicate skin, and her facial features are carved with jade. At a glance, she looks like two dolls.

And they look cool, obviously a pair of siblings.

see them.

Roy instantly remembered the father who sacrificed himself for his children, Aaron, the head of the Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe.

The wolf face with teary eyes is especially in front of my eyes.

"Yar!"

"Who? It's class time, we'll talk about it later!" The librarian of the Temple of Meritelli, Yael, looked at this sharp-eyed, heroic, and handsome witcher, and he really thought about it. Can't figure out who he is.

"Roy, have you forgotten?"

Jarre was shocked, looked up at the witcher, opened his mouth wide, almost dropped his jaw!

"Good guy, what panacea have you taken these past few years? Have you developed abnormally? How did you grow so tall and handsome!"

"Although you are too old, if you are willing to take some risks, I can help you transform and pass the grass trial. Maybe I can make you more muscular, mutate into a head of white hair, and make you more pleasing to Ruola? "

Roy responded with a smile.

Yael's shoulders trembled, his glasses almost fell to the ground, and he shook his head desperately.

"Haha, I'm not joking with you, these two little guys are Ade and Ali, right?" Roy squatted in front of the boys and girls, and couldn't help reaching out and holding their soft little hands.

The two siblings were taken aback by the stranger, but they were no longer like a few years ago when they reacted too aggressively, cooing wildly, flapping their wings like a kestrel, or hanging themselves upside down from a wooden bar like an owl.

"Who's brother?" they both asked in unison, their voices were as clear as an oriole, and they sized up the witcher with black jewel-like eyes, "Brother knows us?"

Roy smiled without saying a word, and touched the heads of the two of them in relief.

Been plagued by the curse for several years, and finally got on the right track, the siblings shouldn't be reminded of that sad past.

"Okay, it's time for me to leave, Yael...Teach Ali and Ade well, and train them to be talented! By the way... Regarding your crush on Elder Sister Aurora, you have to be careful recently." Roy suddenly leaned in When the young librarian whispered a few words in his ear, the latter suddenly became nervous.

……

After Roy finished greeting his acquaintances, Nenneke led them to the innermost courtyard of the temple, where more than 30 empty rooms were lined up under the exquisite eaves.

There are two wooden beds in each room, covered with light yellow blankets, desks and chairs that are still durable for a certain age, an oil lamp, and floral curtains covering the wooden windows.

Through the window you can see the busy priestess in the courtyard.

"Okay, masters, and children, you will stay here from today on." Nan Nixun let go of his best friend's arm, and glanced at the people around him, "I want to stay as long as I like, but I have two requirements , abide by the rules of the temple. What to do at what time is recorded on the schedule."

"Don't influence other believers, understand?"

"Understood!" The children replied in unison.

"How will you allocate the rooms?" Nenneke nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the witcher. "Arrange by yourself."

"Come on, Vicky, you are the first to choose a room," the bald man nodded at the little blond girl rather favorably,

Vicky shook her head in embarrassment, looked at her companions, but only saw faces of affirmation and approval.

Along the way, she took care of herself as the head of housekeeping.

But she picked one at random.

"Renee."

"Ahh! I'm finally free! I want to live with Vicky, and I want to hug her to sleep, one day and one night! No, three days and three nights!"

Renee held her good sister's slender hands, screamed wildly, shook her two braids, hopped like a rabbit, and rushed into the room in the middle of the corridor!

"Little Dodger! Next, Conrad..."

"Oreo..."

The children who were named happily rushed into the room they wanted, and slept in the wild for more than a month. Their buttocks were almost callused, and their waists were almost broken when they slept in tents and booths.

The demon hunters stood scattered in the corner of the yard.

Looking at this warm scene, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hoped that he would have the opportunity to watch it in the future.

"Carl, Monty, Aka...the last choice!"

"Why!" Arkham Tom was like an irritated wild cat, jumping three feet high on the spot, trembling with anger, "This is discrimination, patriarchal!"

"What is this? A badge of honor! You are the oldest and most experienced... You should let your younger siblings go." Serrit grabbed the pendant around A-Ka's neck and added.

The twelve young demon hunters with swords on their backs immediately looked at each other, and their anger turned into joy.

"Ahem, it makes sense... As the boss," Carl and his eleven friends said in unison, "it is our responsibility and obligation to take care of our little brother and sister! This time, we will be a little bit wronged!"

"The consciousness is quite high, and it is up to you to make the greatest sacrifice!"

The cat eagle slammed the center of his forehead, wrapped his arms around his shoulders and walked straight to the end of the corridor, then thoughtfully chose a room next to the toilet for the disciple, and snickered with a group of little tails behind him.

"Don't laugh, since you've chosen the room, come here and go to the yard!" Owl's expression suddenly became solemn, and everyone's hearts skipped a beat with a solemn tone.

……

"Dude... Are you familiar with the Virtue Church in Vizima?" Grim quietly found Roy who was leaning against the pillars of the eaves, his eyes sparkling, "Is there really a goddess of the lake living in Lake Vizima?"

Roy did not hide it, pulled out the sword of the lake girl, and straightened his right arm. The blade seemed to be integrated with the arm, piercing the clear sky, the elbow retracted, and the sword and the arm formed a right angle of ninety degrees. The material of the keel Reflecting the golden morning light, and his unusually calm face. "Vivian, the lady in the lake, gave me this sword as a reward for the five virtues trials."

"Grimm, there is no permanent banquet in the world. If you are willing, I will write you a letter... Take it and go to Vizima to see His Highness Yada, the High Priest of the Virtue Church."

Roy flicked the smooth blade, returned the sword to the sheath,

"Maybe you can have a chance to see the goddess of the lake with your own eyes, not necessarily Ms. Vivienne, but also other goddesses of the lake, accept their five virtues trials, and strive for a lake besides the Toussaint champion knight." The honorary title of the Goddess Knight."

"How, are you interested?"

Grimm turned his eyes,

"You chase me away?"

Roy shook his head and smiled,

"You think too much. But we have to deal with some personal affairs... You can also choose to stay in the temple and help us take care of these children."

……

"It can be seen that this group of children have a harmonious relationship with each other... they are like family members." Nennik stood under the eaves and asked Coral curiously, "But in my impression, demon hunters have always believed in natural selection. One set, the way of treating apprentices is outrageously brutal! It almost makes them jump into the grave and the coffin!"

"Old friend, the bad habits of the past have long been eliminated, and the demon hunters are also keeping up with the evolution of the times... setting up new rules!" Coral smiled slightly, twirling her fingers around a bunch of red hair, and said braggingly, "Otherwise you How did you think so many apprentices were born in just a few years?"

"You may not believe it, but the green grass trials we hosted have never failed! None of them have any character defects. Although...although...still infertile."

Nennik was silent suddenly, and the wrinkles on his face stretched after a while.

God is still fair, giving power to demon hunters and depriving them of their fertility.

If they can reproduce normally, they will inherit superhuman strength.

Then the whole world will be messed up.

"Okay, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Nanick rubbed his temples,

"We'll be leaving right away."

"you?"

"Except for those children, all demon hunters, including me..." Coral's blue eyes swept across the courtyard.

Vesemir, Lambert, Vulture, Letho... all the children who had chosen the room were called together in the yard.

Lecture with a straight face.

The conversation didn't seem very interesting.

The originally lively and cheerful atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse.

Karl reasoned with them a few thorns and even blushed.

But without exception, they were brutally suppressed.

"What's the situation, you plan to return to the embrace of the goddess early? So entrust the child to me?"

"Not that serious."

Nannike looked at Shan Shan's pretty face with concern, "Why do you have to hide it from me? Tell me about it? I, an old man, can help you as a staff member!"

"Giggle, stop joking, Nannick, you're not as old as... um..."

Coral carefully glanced at Roy in the distance, seeing that he wasn't paying attention, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is not Tuogu. Have you seen those twelve apprentice demon hunters? Don't underestimate them. For a long time to come, they will stay in the temple and be responsible for the safety of the priestess and you. It can also be regarded as fulfilling someone's promise. Right. Correspondingly, you usually take more time to teach them life experience."

"You mean the temple is in danger? Who dares to risk the disgrace of the world to attack Meritelli?" Nenneke was thoughtful, so this is the reason why the goddess Tuomeng asked herself to entertain the demon hunters, a group of demon hunter teenagers guard?

"You will know the answer in the future. As for us, we have to go to Maribor to recover a debt..." Azure eyes flashed coldly, "Well, a blood debt."

Chapter 9 Maribou

The solemn and solemn Temple of Meritelli.

Demon hunter Roy Gong stood in front of the Trinity Goddess statue shining with holy golden light.

A majestic and grand voice echoed in his mind.

"Son of the ancient blood, I am very satisfied. You have kept the agreement and brought a group of guardians full of vitality to the temple."

"But your trip to Maribor is dangerous and unpredictable. In order to prevent you from dying early before solving the world's crisis, Freya and I decided to make an exception and give you some help within our ability."

Suddenly, a gemstone flew out of the statue of Goddess Melitelli—a water-blue diamond with a faceted rose, which was about the size of a fist, and its shining light was as dazzling as the summer sky.

Roy took it in his palm and clenched it tightly.

Blessed Jade of Passion...

Material: Haoshi, divine power.

Enchanting -

Comeback: This gem, blessed by the combination of Freya and Melitelli, will protect you from a fatal blow.

You can also actively stimulate it to release a divine healing to restore your body and soul to the best condition. (Reserve: once)

"It is temporarily loaned to you."

"Hope you never have to."

……

"How about it, kid, the matter has been settled satisfactorily?" The bald man leaned against the pillar of the stone pavilion in the corner of the garden with his arms folded.

Pairs of eyes shot over.
