holy flame

Samuel and Julian spent a whole morning and finally counted the bricks on the north wall.Then they ran to a tavern called The Lame Man, took the opportunity of ordering food, wrote down their menu for the next month, and had a lunch by the way-this is a small restaurant without a menu, only serving food every day One kind of staple food, one kind of [-] kinds of food happens to cycle once a month.

And in this small restaurant, they met several paladins.The reason is that the first owner of the lame man was a paladin who was disabled due to battle injuries, and now this place has become one of the main places for paladins to rest and gather.Obviously, this was not a question to make things difficult for him, but to familiarize him with the habits of the paladins.

"It would be easy if all the questions were like this." Julian sighed while eating the pork pie.

"You also said it was only an 'if'."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Is Ruby's officiant dog black or white? Let's go to the station of the Holy Cross."

"Then?"

"Find a priest, or find Ruby the officiant directly, and ask him the color of the dog."

"Fina seems to have said that you can't let others know what you're doing."

"I will tell him that I also like dogs very much, but I have been traveling and have no way to keep a dog."

"And then you'll have a nice talk about dogs?"

"It should be." Samuel took a sip of ale and nodded.

"Good idea." Julian smiled, "And we might really be able to get the puppies home. I believe Zoe will like it very much."

No matter how the paladins and priests secretly intrigue, at least on the surface, the Holy Crusade and the Templars in the Shield of Light are happy to cooperate and get along with each other.After all, they are comrades-in-arms facing a common threat. The priests need the protection of the knights, and the knights need the support of the priests. They are each other's horns.So when Samuel came to the residence of the priests, hoping to meet Ruby, he quickly got a positive answer.

The Holy Crusade has a total of three deputy heads, and Ruby is one of them.In Samuel's impression, priests, especially high-ranking priests, were mostly middle-aged and elderly, and Ryan was one of the rare exceptions.And today he saw the second special case, but compared to Ryan's sunshine, sincerity and vitality, this Ruby is obviously a completely opposite type to him.Although he is a man, although there is a scar on his left cheek, this man looks too feminine—and it is a kind of "feminine" that tends to be gloomy. Even Samuel, who lacks emotional factors, will be scared when he sees him. I couldn't help but frowned.

"You are the Paladin Samuel who just arrived, right? Welcome to the Shield of Light and our big family. Please take a seat."

Ruby's voice is quite normal, it can even be said to be soft, magnetic and comfortable.After sitting down, the angle he saw of Ruby was no longer completely backlit. The sun shone on the officiant's side face, and the gloomy feeling disappeared a lot.However, whether it was just a matter of perspective or whether the sunlight revealed the essence of the officiant at that moment was not what Samuel cared about. He came today just to know what color the officiant's dog had.

"Yes." Samuel smiled, it was a professional smile honed in his previous life due to the needs of work...

Half an hour later, Samuel walked out of Ruby's study, and the officiant also smiled and sent him out. Julian, who was waiting outside the study, stood up from the rattan chair, because Samuel's back was facing him, so The first thing he saw was the face of the priest.There was a momentary shock on the ranger's expression, but the two of them didn't notice his change until Samuel said goodbye to Ruby, turned around and beckoned Julian to leave.

"Please...wait a moment, Samuel." It seems that the two of them had a good conversation, and now Ruby has already called Samuel by his first name.

"Yes, what's wrong, Ruby?"

"I heard you call him Julian? Is he your entourage, follower, or something else?" Ruby looked at Julian who stood respectfully one step behind Samuel, bowing his head slightly, as if he was What to explore, but not sure.

"He's my lover," replied Samuel. "Why?"

"No, I'm just... amazed that you have such a wonderful lover."

"Thank you, and I have to say again, it was a pleasure talking to you today, Ruby."

"Me too."

"Goodbye, Ruby."

"Goodbye, Samuel."

They left, and Ruby stood there watching them disappear down the corridor.

Knowing that Ruby had a white dog and a black dog, Samuel searched for answers to several other questions, and it was only when they were on their way home that they began to discuss the subject of the officiant.

"You know him?"

"My playmate when I was young, but because of him, I lost my inheritance rights and had to leave home, but I don't know why he was sent to the Holy Court. And the scar on his face... It's strange, he has loved and cherished him since he was a child How could my own appearance allow that scar to remain until now?"

"Is he a threat to you?"

"We just had some misunderstandings in childhood, not a threat."

"It seems you don't hate him either."

"Of course, after all, he made me free. Freedom made me know you. By the way, I haven't told you about my childhood. I'll spend the night in my room tonight, and talk about our respective lives by the way. How was childhood?" Julian half-jokingly invited, he felt that with Samuel's view of love, it was absolutely impossible to agree.

Samuel stopped, frowning and thinking hard, which made Julian a little strange: "After chatting, can I watch last night's show again?"

Julian's face turned red in an instant, and he stammered and asked, "You, why, would you think, watch that? Don't you, say, love, should be, step by step?" Compared with making love, masturbation is actually more More private, at least to this day, Julian has been with someone before, but this is the first time he has been seen masturbating.

"But I thought about it for a long time just now. No one said that you can't look at each other when you are in love. Can't you?" Julian showed a disappointed expression for the first time, and even his ears drooped. people love...

"sure."

"You are so kind, Julian." Samuel smiled. He has become a red-skinned and boiled shrimp ranger. Got stuck.

A certain bright place——Because it was so bright, it looked completely white everywhere. No one could see what this place was. Only an ethereal and majestic voice could be heard coming from the light.

"Why is there something impurity in your original pure heart? This can't be done... This shouldn't be your heart, you should still be the same as before..."——
