They were stopped by a girl in her early twenties. She was dressed in the same clothes as the guards who maintained order at the gate of the city. She wore a felt hat with her hair hidden in the felt hat and a tight-fitting fur dress. , stepping on leather boots, looking at it? Quite neat and refreshing.

She is the handmaiden next to the high priest, and she has met Mai Ni several times before.This distant relative of the high priest is quite conspicuous, and it is impressive to see him once.After the maid greeted Mai Ni, she then nodded to the two girls behind Mai Ni: "This is what you said, come help? Find someone."

Lev held in her hand the candy that Mrs. Minnie gave her, but she didn't know what kind of witchcraft would be in the dry leaves wrapped in candy. I really wanted to learn? Groups of children are generally thrown on the ground.

"Eat it if you want." Natia Vida leaned against Leif's ear, her lips moved slightly, "This is the only candy you can get from Mai Ni for free. It contains real candy , no harm."

Natia Vida's voice was very soft, and the young maid didn't hear her voice. On the contrary, Old Maid's ears were sharper than those of young people. A candy pose.

Mai Ni turned to the maid and said, "Xue Li sent you here, where is she now?"

"Well, the high priest is very busy." The maid showed a troubled look on her face, "but? She squeezed out time from her busy schedule... Well, the high priest insisted that I tell you this, actually? I already I've been waiting for a long time... Anyway, you will be able to see her soon."

As the maid said, she led the three of them to the place where the high priest was, passed by many houses similar to those in the northern countries, and then came to a wide square.At the north end of the square, there are several large yurts.

"Cross the square and you'll be there." The maid led the three of them to the north and arrived at the largest rug.

She asked the three of them to wait outside the yurt first, then stepped forward, said a few words to the guard who was guarding the door and was dressed similarly to her, then pointed to the three of them, and said, "They are here to see High Priest's."

Xueli is both the first king and the queen, and the queen regent who assists the heir, but the status of the high priest is obviously more important than the first two identities.In the letter that Lord Deborah sent to Leif to introduce the mission, she referred to Xueli as the queen according to the convention.But Laif also inquired after arriving in the grassland, but many people didn't know what the "queen" was, only knew that there was a high priest.

After transmission, after a while, the yurt door, which was smaller than the palace? Not much, finally opened, and the three of them went in, and saluted according to the local rules after seeing the high priest.

The High Priest Xueli is a woman in her early thirties, the years have not had time to leave traces of ravines on her face, only her eyebrows and eyes have been dyed with a layer of mature charm.

Leif just glanced at him and then heaved a sigh of relief. Although the high priest was majestic, he was not at all as scary as Mrs. Minnie.

The high priest's hair was hidden under the priest's crown with blue and gold patterns, and his sharp green eyes were exactly the same as Mrs. Minnie's.The golden inner robe covers the wrists and ankles, and there is a layer of blue robe outside the inner robe. The blue robe is slightly shorter, and the arms only reach the elbows, and the legs only cover the knees.On the chest is a breastplate made of a group of square flake gemstones, three horizontal and three vertical, a total of nine pieces.There are also some complicated decorations at the hem of the blue robe.

This attire would not be casual clothes, but it looked like he was about to attend some ceremony. The high priest seemed very busy indeed.Sure enough, before he had time to say anything, a woman in a dress came in and whispered something in the high priest's ear. The high priest left the yurt after saying "wait a moment".

Leif looked at the inside of the felt bag.This felt bag is very roomy.After entering the door, you can see a blue carpet. Stand on the carpet and look back. There are eight chairs on both sides of the door. They are stacked together when not in use, saving a lot of space.Looking forward, there are many sheepskin scrolls on the wooden shelves on both sides.There is a stove for heating in front of the wooden frames on both sides.In the middle is a table and a chair. There are quills and ink on the table, which is the place to handle official business.There is a layer of felt curtains behind the tables, chairs and wooden frames. The felt curtain divides the felt bag into two parts. You can't see what is behind the felt curtain, but Leif guesses that the living area is behind the felt bag.

Only on the other side that Leif can see, there are traces left by the owner of the felt bag everywhere, and the High Priest Shirley seems to work and live here.

If this place is compared to the palaces of the countries that Leif has been to before, it is too simple, and it is not even as luxurious as some noble families in the city imitate the houses built in the north.

Mrs. Mai Ni was regarded as the elder of the high priest, and she was not at all polite on the other party's territory. Before waiting for an invitation, she dragged a chair from the door and sat down.

The maid instructed the servants to take another two chairs from the door and put them on a small table, and took out some food for them to enjoy.

Leff had just had lunch, and saw bread, cheese, etc. and had no appetite.When the maid came out holding a silver pot, she couldn't help but move her nose.

——This familiar smell is not what she thought it was.

The maid poured the liquid from the silver jug ​​into the cup in front of Leif. It was milk, but it wasn't exactly milk, it was slightly burnt yellow.I don't know what else has been added to cook it together, and there is a bitter aroma besides the milk taste.

As soon as the maid walked away, Medra propped her hands on the rim of the cup, plunged her head upside down into the cup, took a deep breath, and raised her head to Leif and said, "The taste of this stuff is wonderful!"

Leif reached for the cup with his hand.

Soon, the felt curtain was lifted, and a small gust of cold wind blew in.

"You are Natia Vida, you are Lev. Ah, it is Lev Bai..." The high priest quickly left and returned, and when he mentioned Lev, his tone was strange.While talking, he entered the room and pointed to the little man in red with a mustache hanging from the mouth of the cup, "This little thing is..."

The maid watched? High Priest Xueli pointed to the mouth of the cup, but didn't notice the liquid in the cup? It was already shallow, and everyone in the room was staring after hearing the words? The cup seemed to see something, really? Can't figure it out? Mind.

Medra was the only one in the room who couldn't see her.

"Ah, can you see it?" Leff hurriedly retracted the hand that was stretched out to the cup. Looking back, he saw that there was a little more on both sides of the face of the high priest than when he went out just now. The forehead and sides of the cheeks are painted.

Leif knows that animals, monsters, or humans who eat the crystal core of monsters can see Medra. One example from each of the three is Lily, Natia Vida and Mr. Leander.As for the humans who can see Medra, Leif thought she was the only one at first, until she met old lady Minnie.The appearance of Mrs. Minnie is so scary that Leff actually ignored this point. Now the High Priest Shirley can see it. Leff guesses that people with wizard blood can also see Medra .As for why Medra can produce such a trait that some people can see and some people can't, Leif still can't understand.

Madeira raised her neck, greeted High Priest Shirley cheerfully, introduced her identity, and praised the delicious food here.

"It's so conspicuous, it's hard not to see it." High Priest Xueli smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen such a small thing, but extraordinary people should have extraordinary things."

It wasn't until he heard Medra's smug laughter that Leff realized belatedly that High Priest Shirley was actually praising herself by praising Medra's name, and couldn't help but become popular. face.Then I was very puzzled, why did the priest who lived far away on the prairie in the southwest of the mainland even hear the name of such a small person like her?

"We are here to help you find your adopted daughter Elena," Natia Vida said. "What we have learned so far is not enough for us to determine her location."

"Oh, Elena." High Priest Shirley showed a troubled look on her face, "Just mentioning this name gives me a headache. She is always mischievous and troublesome, making people angry, and even making a fuss? She wants to run away. This time? She's outside. If you suffer a loss, it can be regarded as a lesson for her. Grandma Minnie, and you Natia Vida, especially the famous Leif Bai, she will definitely get out of danger soon, it is not a big deal thing."

Walking to the table where official business was handled, the high priest took out a cane.The cane is made of gold, with sapphire inlaid on the top of the cane. The cane is about the thickness of a small arm. If it is placed vertically, it will not be much higher than the height of the usual desk and dining table. In the hand, it looks a little short.

"The fact that the little girl got lost? It's not worth worrying too much about. If there were not many similar incidents that happened after Irena left, I wouldn't bother you." The high priest rubbed the center of his brows, Holding the cane, he walked towards the door, "I still have things to do, and I really can't get away. Someone will come and tell you the ins and outs of the matter." Pointing to the maid, "She will bring... Go to the residence, and you can leave tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

Madeira once again boasted about the food.

The High Priest Xueli was very gentle to the young man, smiled and said, "Prepare another copy for you and send them to your residence." Then he left.

The house that the maid arranged for the three was a northern-style house, and the interior furnishings were similar to those in the north, presumably to take care of the living habits of the three.

The fireplace in the room had already been lit in advance, and it was as warm as spring. Leff wished he could take off the thick clothes that were in the way immediately.

The maid commander brought in a few plates with food on them. Seeing the silver pot on the table, Leif couldn't help but want to taste it. Hearing Natia Vida's chuckle Only then did she realize that the dragon had found a comfortable chair and sat down, and didn't want to leave her room anytime soon.

And the frighteningly dressed old lady Minnie has already gone to her room.

Leff hurriedly asked the maid who was about to go out: "Here? How many rooms have we arranged?"

"There are three rooms." The maid looked at the two people in the room puzzled.In fact, she had doubts for a long time. The three of them looked at her coming from a long distance, full of travel and dust, but they hardly had any luggage.The maid thought that their luggage was invisible to her like the "little thing" that High Priest Shirley said, so she said, "I didn't think carefully. If there are other items that need to be placed, you can ? to prepare another room."

"No need, there are three rooms..." Leif looked at the magic dragon who didn't want to move at all, and emphasized "three rooms" again, "...that's enough-it's nothing, you can go."

The maid nodded, went out from the door, and then closed the door.

Medra's eyes rolled around a few times, and she hugged Leif's sleeve and said, "I also want to have my own room, and it should be warm. Let me live in the third room."

Leif expected that Medra was going to run away, so she had already pinched her in the palm of his hand.She couldn't count on Mrs. Minnie to block her? Natia Vida, Lev even vaguely felt that there seemed to be some connection between Mrs. Minnie and Natia Vida that she didn't know , a wandering witch and a magic dragon occasionally intertwined eyes can taste a bit of a sense of embarrassment.

Leif didn't want to be alone with the dragon at all, so he had to capture Medra.Thinking about it? Even if the magic dragon is ashamed, it won't be so? When there is a third person present...

Natia Vida got up and approached her: "It's strange, Miss Knight? Doesn't seem like someone who escapes from reality? Why this time? She seems so timid and afraid to face me?"

Leif's fingers tightened.

"I, I'm about to suffocate..." Medra hummed angrily.

Leff heard the sound and loosened his fingers a little.Due to his nervousness, his palms were sweating, and the little man was slippery, ready to get out.

"As long as you can give me a little time, you don't have to be so nervous to escape." Natia Vida held Lev's other hand, "I'll be fast."

"Very... soon...?" Leff's face twisted, and he squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.

What is fast?

There was more sweat in the palms, and Medra shrunk her body, pushed and squeezed, and finally slid out of Leif's palms, and as soon as she fell to the ground, she arrived at the door as if she was stepping on a wheel.

"Hey," Natia Vida leaned over, almost touching Laif's nose, a sweet scent of lemongrass came to her face, "Miss Knight is blushing, what are you thinking about?"

"I didn't think so." Leif quickly retorted.

"Before I said what was bad, Miss Knight said she didn't think about it." Natia Vida said, "It seems that Miss Knight knows a lot. But if you want to do what you expect, you can't do it like this. Shabby place."

"...I really didn't." Leff touched the handle of the knife with his other hand, and said to himself that it would be better to have a fight than to test like this.

"Don't worry, I just want to give you this thing." Natia Vida squeezed Leif's fingers, and then put a round thing with body temperature into Leff's palm, "It's that fast, you don't need to hide."
