Chapter 710 Parting Hug (5000+)
PS:PS: Sorry, I was sent so late. The cat went to the drip today and there is still one day treatment tomorrow. This is the fastest cure, so please forgive me ^-^
No words all night.
The next day, Tang En woke up with a burst of rapid knocks on the door. He rubbed his forehead, and looked a little tired.
This is not the exhaustion of the battle last night, but after seeing the eye of disaster and evoking memories buried deep in his heart, Tang En found that he seemed to have insomnia and was full of thoughts...
"What are you doing? Tang En, you are a famous flower with a master... But it seems that you haven't had that thing for a long time. Could it be that you're so suffocating? Uh, that's not..."
After shook his head and clearing the habitual random thoughts in his mind, Tang En opened the door directly, and then he couldn't help but pause. The sounds in his ears were mixed, one was the knock on the front yard, and the other was the bustling noise from far and near.
The former sounds very clear because it is too close. The latter seems to be in chaos in the entire Holy Light City. When it comes to this, it is vaguely blurred.
Outside the door, "Strange, why is there no one... I clearly saw Mr. Claudi coming back?" It was the voice of the aunt last night.
"Maybe he has already gone to the temple... Okay, let's go there too, too, if you're too late, you can't squeeze in..."
“Okay…”
The knock on the door disappeared, and the voice of the conversation gradually drifted away. Tang En thought about it after hearing this, and suddenly realized it. Then he walked up the stairs leading to the second floor and came to the door.
He paused, raised his hand, dong dong dong... Tang En did not hide his footsteps, and with Xia Wei'an's cultivation level, he could naturally also notice his arrival.
There was no response inside, so Tang En just pretended to be a default and pushed open the door directly.
Xia Wei'an was still standing next to the window, with her back facing away from her, and her standing posture had not changed much, as if she had been here like this all night last night.
Shaking his head slightly, Tang En walked forward.
The window faces west, so standing here, you can naturally see the full view of the temple in the distance at a glance.
Even though Tang En had already expected it, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Uh... is it so exaggerated?"
After the devil skull collided head-on with the judgment of God last night, although Tang En and Xia Wei'an were at the bottom, they just felt a little disgusted and were not injured. After the disgusting feeling eased a little, the two of them naturally did not dare to stay and took this opportunity to quickly escape from the temple.
In this way, although they all knew that the terrifying power of the demon skull was far beyond expectations, the trauma brought to the temple would be very serious! But no matter how they imagined it, they did not expect that the current situation of the temple would be so miserable...
The Dongfang Rising Sun had already looked protruded. Under the bright light, the temple in the distance seemed quieter than ever, and even the unchanged morning bell did not ring.
As far as you see, the outer periphery of the temple can still be kept intact. However, in a large area near the eastern exterior wall, which accounts for about a quarter of the temple, you can't see anything more than three meters. In this way, let alone the solemn and elegant buildings in the past. At first glance, they are full of piles of ruins and ruins. They look like barren hills in the wild, lifeless and desolate!
After touching his nose, Tang En couldn't help but look shocked. He could have thought that the temple would be miserable, but he didn't expect it would be miserable so thoroughly and so high-end...
The sight shifted, unlike the inside of the dead temple, but the surrounding exterior walls seemed extremely lively.
The temple closed all the gates, so at first glance, people were surging, and a dense sea of people filled every corner of the temple. And further away, there were a large number of figures rushing here, and the scene was spectacular!
Seeing this, the noise that Tang En heard before was undoubtedly the source of the noise. He shook his head slightly, thinking in his heart that the aunt might not be able to squeeze in just now...
Unlike Tang En, who came to his senses and still had some other things to think about. Xia Wei'an, who was standing quietly, looked straight at the ruins of the temple without moving at all.
Obviously, she was distracted...
"Don't think about it, your choice was right at that time." After hesitating for a moment, Tang En looked at Xia Wei'an in a sad and quiet state, thought for a while, and pointed to the ruins and said, "At least, the piles of ruins are just ruins now, not graves!"
This is the truth. Although the power of the demon skull was misjudged, if Xia Wei'an hadn't tried his best to throw the skull high at that time, it would not be these ruins, but also countless evil spirits of clergy... So, it is no exaggeration to say that it was Xia Wei'an who saved the Northern Temple!
With his eyes slightly moved, Xia Wei'an finally got angry. His eyes swept across the ruins. There were many knight figures constantly searching for something, but there were a small silent figure on the open space not far from them... It was because of the bad luck. The corpses of clergy who were flooded by the collapsed building last night.
He opened his mouth, his voice was extremely hoarse and dry, "But... someone still died..."
"You are too greedy." Shaking your head, Tang En knew that with Xia Wei'an's current state of mind, any words of comfort were powerless and pale, so he simply stopped saying more and turned his attention to the main entrance of the temple.
There was a small chaos there, and the crowded crowd gradually retreated like a tide and wave. Looking closely, it turned out that a large group of knights were rushing out of the gate with a long spear across, and they forced to clear out a piece of open space.
Needless to say, if such a thing happens, the temple's senior management will give an explanation to the majority of believers no matter what.
Sure enough, "Haha, it's Byron. Oh... This is the rhythm of a sad drama!" A large group of figures walked out of the main entrance of the temple, but what Tang En could barely recognize was Byron who was being carried away in the center.
Although Tang En couldn't see clearly because of the distance, and could not hear any sound. However, from this solemn posture and Byron's half-dead look, we can roughly guess the intentions of the high-level officials of the temple. It is nothing more than shackles others and diverting hatred. How arrogant evil heresy is, how can they resist the death...
Just as he was looking at it bored, Tang En's narrow eyes suddenly narrowed slightly and looked up suddenly. Dozens of figures suddenly emerged from the temple and paused. He could see all the holy magic shields separated instantly and flew out in all directions of the temple. In just a short moment, they turned into inconspicuous small black dots in the air.
"Temple Mage Group..." Xia Wei'an's eyes were stunned and subconsciously murmured.
When Tang En heard this, his eyebrows raised: "Oh? Didn't you die last night?" After the words came, when Xia Wei'an frowned, he smacked his lips again and sighed for a long time. "Tsk tsk, the Temple of Light is worthy of being the Temple of Light!"
This feeling undoubtedly came from the true heart. These magicians who quickly took off were naturally the first group of trackers to come to Tang En and Xia Wei'an. You should know that there were many magicians in the temple who were killed by the demon skull last night, but in just half a night, the temple actually organized so many advanced magicians to track them again.
With such a work, I think that besides Bran King's Court, only the Temple of Light has this foundation!
After this little episode, Byron and others at the main entrance had already retreated to the temple, leaving only some Knights of Light distributing white papers, as if something extraordinary was written on it. The believers around were obviously frightened, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Seeing this, Tang En narrowed his eyes. He didn't say much, but turned around and said, "The next thing should be to investigate the city. Write a list of items you need. I'll go to the magic prop store. Also, prepare for it. We may leave in the evening."
...
As Tang En expected, not long after, after the periphery of the periphery dispersed, the four gates of the temple opened wide, and a large number of clergymen walked out and began to investigate various areas in the city.
However, this is destined to be futile. Tang En can easily block some of the detection and tracking magic. As the sacred knight commander, Xia Weian is the sharp sword of the temple to the outside. It is no exaggeration to say that the various tracking techniques of the temple are Men Qing, and now he can deal with it easily and calmly.
Of course, the temple did not focus on the city's search. After all, it was already midnight. Normal people would think that Tang En and Xia Wei'an would definitely take advantage of this time to escape. So after a brief investigation of the city, the temple placed most of the power outside the Holy Light City.
Needless to say, this is naturally useless! Even if the anxious and high-level temple officials want to break their heads, it is impossible for them to think that Tang En and Xia Wei'an are actually hiding quietly under their noses...
The next thing went smoothly. For a whole day, the Temple Mage widened his eyes and flew back and forth several times within a hundred miles around the Holy Light City. Until his old eyes were sour and his magic was exhausted, he still found nothing after he had to descend to the ground.
At the same time, the brigade of knights sent out to sweep the surrounding plains and could not find any trace...
Such a result undoubtedly made Byron and others crazy. Tang En, Xia Wei'an, these two people must be killed now, otherwise their fun would be great.
Needless to say, Xia Wei'an was very clear about her temper and personality. Byron and others, when she broke out about the Bounty Hunter Guild, the anger of the believers would be enough to destroy their position that they had worked hard to climb to this point for decades.
Not to mention Tang En, the devil skull destroyed the small semi-santhemum with a terrifying blow. Such a responsibility can only be taken by Tang En's body, or high-level figures like them, and they are not allowed to find a scapegoat! What's more, there is the Eye of Disaster, which is related to the future layout of the temple, and the evidence that the temple colluded with the Bounty Hunter Guild...
No matter which of the above is taken, not to mention the bishops like them, even the giants like the Temple of Light cannot withstand such an impact. It can be said that although the matter has not yet come, Byron and others have already seen their miserable end!
Just when the temple was at a loss and the previous intensive searches gradually relaxed, in the evening, a carriage visiting relatives successfully left the City of Holy Light.
It has to be said that the decision of the Temple to prevent the Holy Light City from setting up a wall for the sake of face-saving projects is really bad. Although this can establish a good image in front of believers, on the other hand, it greatly increases the difficulty of blockade. At the same time, it also increases the chance of escape for some people with bad intentions!
In response to this, Tang En, who left in a carriage, only commented: Don’t pretend to be B, pretend to be B, and you were struck by lightning!
...
Late at night, a hundred miles away from the Holy Light City.
On the vast plain, a few horses neighed and broke the silent night sky. Then, the carriage, under the name of visiting relatives, stopped slowly.
He looked around and saw the driver with slightly frosted temples and wrinkled faces, that is, Tang En, put down the reins in his hand. He knocked on the carriage with a joking face: "Old woman, after walking so far, don't you want to come out and get off?"
Wow, the car door opened, revealing an expressionless old woman's face. She glanced at Tang En, and then jumped to the ground with her neat skills that were seriously inconsistent with her age.
Needless to say, this is naturally Xia Wei'an.
"No need to see. If you can still meet the knight mage who has been running for a whole day here, it will be unfair to be arrested." Tang En walked out of the carriage leisurely, looking at Xia Wei'an who was still looking around with a relaxed expression, "All right, believe me, I'm a professional."
Slowly pause. Point to the vaguely continuous mountains on the far right, "Although I don't know what you plan next,... go in that direction, cross the mountains, there will be a small town. It's quite quiet and there will be no many people passing by. It's suitable for you to live in temporarily."
Retracting her vigilant gaze, Xia Weian pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "Thank you." With her current state of mind, she really needs such a quiet place to adjust her condition. No matter whether she will go to that town in the future, Tang En's intentions are always real.
"It's nothing. I just said it casually." He waved his hand indifferently, as if he had thought of something. Tang En couldn't help but raise his mouth, "But your life will not be better in the future. Haha, you, the Knight Captain who used to help the temple chase evil heresy everywhere, will one day be chased by the temple as an enemy. Haha... Sorry, I didn't mean to reveal your scars, but I just thought this matter was quite interesting."
Xia Wei'an was silent. This matter was more than just interesting, it was simply funny! If someone had told her before that one day her faith would be shaken and she would be chased by the Temple of Light, she would have thought it was a ridiculous joke, but now, the joke has come true...
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Tang En simply raised his hand and said relaxedly: "Okay, we are not friends, and we can't act sad farewell. Let's just part here and go back to their own houses."
"What about your conditions?" At this time, Xia Weian suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Tang En was stunned, then immediately understood, laughed and shook his head, "Haha, don't be so anxious to pay off the debt. Well, this is a condition that can send the Holy Great Knight, of course I have to take time to think about it."
Xia Wei'an frowned slightly when she heard this. She didn't want to repent. With her personality, she had already swore to the God of Light, or even made an empty promise, she would definitely do it. She just felt that she agreed at that time was too hasty and did not set a time limit or something.
It should be that he saw what Xia Wei'an was thinking, Tang En shrugged and smiled: "Don't worry, if there is no accident, we will definitely meet again. Let's talk about it later. Yes, but for this promise, you must save your life and don't be stupid again... How to say it, there are still many good people in this world, but there are undoubtedly more selfish people!"
Speaking of this, Tang En paused, thought for a while, reached into his arms and took out a piece of white paper, his fingers turned nimblely, but he instantly folded out a bird-like appearance and handed over: "After I have known each other for a long time, I'll give you a gift before leaving. This thing is called a paper crane in my hometown, and it has no special meaning... Well, the special meaning is inside. When I leave, you can take it apart and see."
Seeing this, Xia Wei'an's eyes flashed slightly, then stepped forward, took the paper crane and lowered her head to play with it, nodded, as if she had agreed to this strange gift.
"Okay, then see you again." After slapping his palms twice, Tang En turned around and walked towards the carriage. But at this moment, "Wait..." Turning in surprise, Xia Wei'an lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Then she seemed to make up her mind, raised her head, raised her lips slightly, Yingwu's face softened instantly, revealing a somewhat bright and quiet smile, "Thank you... can I express my gratitude?"
"Uh..." Perhaps because of the huge contrast in temperament, Tang En looked at Xia Wei'an's unusual smile and couldn't help but be stunned. He came to his senses and touched his nose, "That, don't be so polite..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Wei'an opened her arms slightly and took a step forward slowly.
Seeing this, Tang En's body was tense and looked alert. It's not a fault for his reaction. You should know that with their strength and relationship, the distance is now quite dangerous. The so-called decision to determine life and death in seconds is not a joke now.
It is precisely because of this that when Tang En handed out the paper crane just now, he tried to stretch his arms as long as possible to keep at least three steps apart between the two. But now Xia Wei'an stepped forward and undoubtedly entered an extremely dangerous area!
However, after her body was tense, a few doubts flashed in Tang En's eyes. Xia Wei'an took a step slowly, which shows that she was undoubtedly clear about this situation, so she was explaining something silently. Coupled with her open arms, she completely exposed the vital points. This was not like having ulterior motives, but more like...
Taking another step forward, amid Tang En's shocked expression, Xia Wei'an slightly closed her arms and gently hugged Tang En.
Although the scene of the old couple hugging looks warmer because of disguise. Tang En, who is in it, could clearly feel the devil curve of how tempting the thin fabric...
Of course, Tang En didn't care about enjoying this style now, his expression was dull and his arms were stiff and drooping.
What's going on?
The hug was short, only about three seconds. Release your arms, Xia Wei'an took a step back, and the smile on his lips had dissipated, but he seemed to feel a little more relaxed, and bowed: "Goodbye, Lord Tang En!"
After saying that, he simply turned around and ran quickly towards the mountains on the right. He soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving Tang En standing there blankly, not knowing whether he was confused or savoring the feeling just now...
However, after Xia Wei'an's figure completely disappeared, Tang En suddenly stopped his expression and chuckled twice: "Haha, the method is good, but I can't help but underestimate me too much..."
Shaking his head, he walked straight to the carriage, leaned over, reached out to explore the inside of the wheel, took out an oval object, threw it away, and put it into his arms.
"A hug can confirm whether the Eye of Disaster is on me? Haha, stop being scheming, that's not what you are good at. Big breasts and no brains are yours... Well, the advantage! Tsk tsk, it's really big..."
Chapter completed!
