The result of the selection of guards was not surprising. Uriah and Jekaard passed smoothly, and only three days later, the people of the temple would select from those who passed.

After returning to the hotel, Ulea looked at Xie Ning who was staring at the floor guiltily, and knocked on the table: "Now take out all your candies."

Xie Nin put the storage ring that Uriah gave him on the table. Uriah opened the storage ring, poured out the sugar inside, and piled it on the table. Uriah looked at the height of the sugar, he Remember that you didn’t seem to buy so much sugar?

Ulea took down the crumbling candy from the pointed pile, and tapped Xie Ning's forehead: "Where did you get so much candy?"

"This..." Xie Ning hesitated a bit, his eyes fixed on his toes, and he refused to meet Yulea's eyes.

Ulea suddenly remembered another person who liked to eat sugar: "Jaccard?"

Xie Nin didn't know anyone else, and besides Jaccard, he had no other candidates.

Ulea was about to put away the candies on the table, and asked casually, "Do you have any more candies?"

Xie Ning's body froze, and his body, which had been standing very straight, straightened again. Ulea stopped what he was doing and asked him, "How much more?"

Xie Nin stretched out his hand and gestured to Ulea: "Only a little bit."

He assured Ulea with a sincere face: "It's really only a little bit."

Ulea didn't quite believe what he said, and spread out her hands to him: "Take them all out."

Hearing Xie Ning's sigh, Uriah felt in his pocket with some reluctance, took out a few candies and placed them on the table.

Ulea looked at his expression a little funny, put one hand to his lips to cover up his smile, one hand brought the sugar on the table, and looked at Xie Ning: Is there any more?

Xie Ning walked towards the vase in the room, took out the dried flowers inside, and padded his feet to dig into the vase which was almost as high as his shoulders.

Ulea walked over, hugged him aside, pointed to the vase and asked, "Here?"

Seeing that Xie Ning nodded, Ulea held the vase and turned the vase upside down, pouring out the sugar in the vase, while Xie Ning lay on the ground, lifted the carpet, took out another small bag of sugar from under the carpet, and then took out the sugar from the room. Take out some of the corners.

Ureya was about to put away the pile of candies when her clothes were torn, when Ureya lowered her head and saw Xie Ning looking at her pitifully, bargaining: "Can't you keep some?"

"It is agreed that there will be no less than one day for a week."

On the other side, just after Adair came back with dinner, before he opened the door, he heard suppressed coughing in the bedroom.

Adair pushed open the door: "Sister, I'm back."

The coughing sound in the bedroom stopped and was forcibly suppressed.

Adair walked into the bedroom, the girl on the bed was pale, making the blood on her lips even more glaring, and her physical condition looked worse than before.

She coughed lowly: "Has anything special happened recently?"

something special?It seems that nothing special happened recently, Adair scratched his head: "The temple is picking a new attendant?"

"Is there anything else?"

Adair shook her head.

The girl asked: "Who received the letter I asked you to deliver earlier? Did he read it?"

"It's a man in his 50s and [-]s, a little fat..." Adair recalled carefully. That day, he followed his sister's instructions, knocked on the door and put the letter at the door, then hid aside and saw him open the letter before leaving.

Adair later saw him once on the street: "By the way, I heard someone call him Roderick!"

"Roderick?" The girl was taken aback, so her father should have seen the letter too...

The five fingers on the bed sheet were clenched tightly, the girl coughed violently, and spat out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Adair panicked and held her arm: "Sister!"

The girl shook her head, and waited for the shortness of breath to subside before she spoke: "Adair, help me get the paper and pen."

Adair was a little at a loss: "But..."

"Please, Adair..."

Adair looked at her worriedly, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the paper and pen.

The quill pen scratched across the paper, leaving a string of beautiful handwriting. Adair glanced over curiously, noticing the slight movement of the girl's arm under his gaze, and then relaxed the arm subconsciously trying to block the content of the letter paper, and spread the letter on the paper. In front of Dale.

"Can you understand what's on it?"

Adair was a little embarrassed, pointing to a few words: "I only know these few."

"is it?"

After the girl finished writing the last sentence, she paused and signed her name at the end: Vivienne Coverdale.

"Help me send this letter..." Vivienne paused, and found a surname in her mind, "Send it to the Orcas family." People in that family have always been fair and just, so they should be able to Trust it.

Adair was very familiar with the process of delivering letters, so he left the letter at the door of Orcas' house in the dark, and just as Adair was about to knock on the door, he heard a faint voice behind the door, so he quietly hid aside, staring at door.

The door opened quickly, and two young men came out. Adair guessed that one of them might be the young master of the Orcas family, accompanied by his followers.

As soon as Nelson went out, he saw the letter on the ground. The envelope was blank and unsigned. He was about to ask his attendants to deliver the letter to the Orcas house. After hesitating, he lowered his head, picked it up, and opened it.

Nelson roughly scanned the contents of the letter: "It really is her..."

Putting the letter back in the envelope, Nelson glanced around and landed on a small piece of gray clothes exposed by the wall.

Nelson handed the letter to the attendant beside him: "Let someone see where he is going, and then hand the letter to Coverdale."

Adair didn't know that he had been discovered. He hid in the corner and saw the letter being opened, and was about to leave. He walked towards Myron's pharmacy, but he didn't notice a figure following behind him.

Myron's drugstore was often closed very late, and the lights were still on when Adair arrived.

"Adair, is there anything else to do at this late hour?"

"Is there a better medicine?" Adair asked.

Myron nodded: "Yes, but it's very expensive."

"I know." Adair put the money on the table, "Are these enough?"

There was a trace of sympathy in Myron's eyes, and he shook his head: "Not enough."

He looked at Adair who was hanging his head in front of the counter, sighed, went back and took out a pair of medicine, and handed it to him: "Take it."

"Thank you."

"Have you thought about what to do next?" Myron asked him.

Adair put away the medicine: "I will find a way."

Adair went back with the medicine in his arms, his footsteps stopped suddenly, it seemed like a shadow of a person swaying past under the moonlight just now?

He looked back suspiciously. There was no one behind him. Just as he was about to turn his head, a large shadow suddenly cast behind him. Adair's pupils widened, and he turned and ran away when he saw the approaching figure.

But the people behind are getting closer.

Adair ran with her head buried for a while, but the people behind her hadn't followed up yet, and they were stunned when they looked back.

"Lord Joshua?"

Joshua pushed the people following Adair to the ground, and looked up at him: "It's so late, go back early."

Adair thanked him, and was a little puzzled when he went back, why was Joshua still outside so late?

After Adair left, Joshua turned over the paralyzed man on the ground, took out a letter from his pocket and opened it.

"Vivian Coverdale?" Joshua remembered, this seemed to be Levi's fiancée?

Joshua put the letter away, remembering the address on the letter, maybe someone would be interested in this.

Uriah and Jekaard sorted out the clues they got in the past few days. After the god of Sakathrin appeared, there has been a child disappearing. Check it out.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The three of Uriah went to the temple early in the morning.

The person who came to choose the guards, Ulea, they just met a few days ago, Caesar and Joshua, the priest and chief guard of the temple.

Caesar suddenly stopped in front of Uriah and Jaccard: "Aren't you from Sakathrin?"

Ulea didn't know if he really saw it or just asked casually. Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Naiden, who followed behind, explained to Caesar: "There are so many people in Sakathrin, maybe you didn't Have you seen it?"

Naiden said with a naive smile, pointing at Jaccard: "Yesterday, I also felt that he didn't look like a local. That's what the chief guard said."

Caesar nodded, as if convinced by him, skipped the previous question and changed a few questions.

Uriah and Jekaard answered one by one, Caesar nodded after listening, but turned to the next person without giving a reply.

The booklet with names was placed in front of Caesar, and he finally decided who to keep. He raised his pen, and the eyes of the people around him followed his movements, watching him circle a few names on the paper.

Ulea and Jekaard looked at each other, and seeing Caesar's reaction, they probably lost the election, and then they had to think about how to find other ways to get in.

Caesar handed the booklet to the attendants beside him: "I have chosen."

The attendant borrowed the booklet and began to read the name aloud: "Reguinold..."

A young man stood up with a face full of surprise, Ulea followed and looked over, remembering the characteristics of this person, if it really doesn't work, he can use his identity to sneak in at that time.

The attendant above continued to read the name: "Uriah..."

Surprised, Uriah subconsciously stepped forward to Reginold's side, feeling a little puzzled.

And the attendant is already reading the third name: "Jaccard..."

Uriah and Jaccard were both chosen.

After the names were read, the chosen ones stayed, and an attendant introduced them to the rules of the temple.

Because the annual festival will be coming soon, in order not to cause trouble, there are many and complicated rules for newcomers. Yulia listened carefully at first, but he didn't expect him to say more than 100 rules before finishing.

The priest Caesar was about to leave the scene before he finished speaking.

"Let the newcomers be arranged by Joshua."

The temple's festival, Uriah, has also inquired clearly in the past few days. The time is once a year, and it is also the day when the old and new priests are handed over. After presiding over this year's ceremony, Caesar can be regarded as the real sacrifice of the temple.

After talking about a long list of rules, the attendant cleared his throat and took out three booklets, one for each of the three newcomers: "These are the contents of the booklet."

He emphasized: "It must be carefully remembered."

Xie Nin waited for Yulea in the crowd, but he never saw them come out.

Someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, Xie Ning looked up and found a man in a white robe standing beside him, the people around stepped back a little, looking over from time to time: "Why are you standing here alone, where is your lord?"

He squatted down, turned around, found a piece of candy, and handed it to Xie Ning, his movements were a little jerky: "Do you want candy?"

Xie Ning shook his head.

"Don't you want to eat?" He looked a little disappointed, "Are you waiting for someone, let me accompany you."

After Ulea came out, she saw a person beside Xie Ning, walked over quickly, and was about to pull Xie Ning away, when she saw a familiar face.

Caesar stood up and looked at Yulea: "Is this your child?"

Yulia replied, "Yes."

"It's easy for a child to get lost outside alone."

Caesar said, "You can take him to the temple."

After returning to the temple, Joshua who followed him at some point looked at him for a while: "Why are you unhappy again?"

Caesar shook his head, looked at him and suddenly smiled: "I like children."

"so?"

Caesar handed him the unsent candy: "Candy?"

Joshua opened the candy wrapper: "I gave you this candy."

He stuffed the sugar into Caesar's mouth: "They say eating sweets will make you feel better."

"Do you feel better?"

"It's bitter."

Joshua heard him whisper something, but didn't hear clearly: "What did you just say?"

Caesar looked at him and repeated: "Sugar is bitter..."

After returning, Ulea asked Xie Ning what he did with Caesar when they were together, and when he heard that he only said a few words, Caesar stayed beside him quietly before he felt relieved.

Jekaard recalled his actions: "This priest is strange."

Xie Ning nodded. He also thought Caesar was strange: "He smells like Sylvia, but I don't think he's annoying."

Ulea also smelled Sylvia's scent on him, which was very faint, with a faint smell of blood.

-

Caesar was copying the runes he had seen in the study, and the floor was full of discarded drafts.

The door was pushed open, and a person walked in.

"Father?"

Marcus walked over to look at the runes on his table: "How are the preparations for the ceremony?"

"Ready." Caesar put down his pen.

"What about the formation?"

Seeing that Caesar did not answer, he frowned: "You should be aware of the importance of formation."

"Father, why can't we..."

"No!" Marcas knew what he wanted to say, interrupted him directly, and looked at him coldly, "Put your thoughts away, if you don't want to be this sacrifice, your brother doesn't mind replacing you."

Caesar lowered his head: "I see."

After beating Caesar, Markas slowed down his tone: "The runes changed last time worked well, do you have any other ideas recently?"

Caesar handed over the paper on the table, and Marcus took it over and looked at it carefully, with a satisfied expression on his face: "Not bad."

"Sure enough, he is the most talented person of the generation of the Bertram family." After speaking, Marcus looked up at Caesar, "Why are you unhappy, I remember you used to like me to praise you so much?"

Caesar stared out the window: "I don't like it now."

After Markas left, Caesar summoned the maid: "Is the ceremony dress ready?"

"Ready."

"What about the festival process?"

"Confirmed."

After asking, Caesar fell silent, and the maid waited for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Master Sacrifice, do you have any other orders?"

Caesar was interrupted from his contemplation and smiled at her: "It's okay."

After being alone, he opened his clenched right hand, and the handwriting on the crumpled paper was blurred by sweat.

"Thoughtful arrangements have been made to ensure the safety of every child."

"Barron Okas."
