The half-person-high ice sculpture grew nearly twice as tall. Frost fell, and the ice layer on the surface cracked, revealing the golden cloth.

"Ascetic." Leff took a step back, and quickly realized that this was not an ice sculpture at all, but a person.

She recalled what Natia Vida had given her on the road about Lukefei Icefield, which she added about Lukefei Icefield: Lukefei Icefield is where the center of the temple is located. The place where the priests in the golden robes are called "patriarchs" is also the place of penance for knights and priests.

By asking about the Puzzle Pot, Leif still knows some specific examples of penance: Some ascetics will stand motionless in the cold wind, and some will immerse themselves in biting water and seal them in ice. Also? Some will step on the ice pillars with bare feet...

These common sense and examples came in handy at this moment, so that she didn't lose her composure from surprise.

The old man in gold robes in front of me is a Patriarch—Templars and patriarchs are relatively rare in secular countries, but in Lukefei Icefield, you may be able to see it casually next to a stone or under an ice hole to a figure in a golden robe.

The hair and beard of the golden-robed Patriarch looked like he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. His expression was painful and restrained, and there was a kind of respectful solemnity in the pain. He stared at Leif without intending to He said something, but there seemed to be something conveyed in his eyes.

He raised his arm stiffly, spread his fingers, and then touched his eye socket with his frozen knuckles.

This golden-cloaked priest looked familiar. Leff thought about it, and quickly recalled that the one in front of him was the one who had been to Ed? How much more? A touch.

Lev realized that the reason why he moved was to remind her not to stare at those blue things, so she wiped the blood around her eyes with her cuff, lowered her head respectfully and gratefully, that's all right ? A bow, back? A few steps, and then continue to move forward, no longer disturb the ascetic.

——Although? The materialistic concept in another world is still Leif's way of understanding the world, making it impossible for her to have a fanatical belief in a so-called temple "God", even if there is a god in this world? Will regard it as some kind of special creature with a material carrier; although? She does not approve of using this method of torturing the body? For penance, but for those who stick to their beliefs, Leif has always paid respect, especially The other party also reported kindness to himself.

After watching Leif leave, the ascetic bent down and returned to his original posture.

Leif looked up to the north, and in the distance was a huge building like an iceberg, which was where the center of the temple was located.Because it was too far away, she couldn't see the details of the temple, nor could she estimate its size.

There were footsteps behind him, and the faint smell of lemongrass flooded his nostrils, and a plain white hand covered Leif's eyes.

"Why? Didn't you leave?" Leff grabbed the hand and turned his head. Sure enough, he saw Natia Vida's face. She glanced worriedly at the place where the ascetic monk was, for fear that he would be hurt. I was alarmed, but fortunately the ascetic monk recovered again? The appearance of the ice sculpture, don't you look? Don't listen or move.

The temperature came clearly from the palms that were close together. At this moment, Leff didn't know whether to be happy or worried.She had to admit that when she felt Natia Vida's breath, she felt a sense of security on this strange continent with unknown dangers; however, she was afraid of Natia Vida Da is here to attract attention, but encounters an accident.

"You should remember? What is this place?" Leif lowered her voice, trying to maintain a tone that was enough for Natia Vida to understand the urgency of the situation, but not for the ascetic After hearing about it, it is really difficult to grasp the extent to which she suspects that she has done something wrong.

Instead of panicking, Natia Vida felt that Leif's expression was very interesting. She stared at the latter for a long time, with doubts on her face, and said, "During the assessment of the Templar Knights, the Holy The temple will arrange a priest who is both a teacher and a friend to act as a guide to take you into the center of the temple, and then accompany you..."

"Of course I? Know!" Leff squeezed? Frowning, trying to convey a rather complicated message through the movement of a few muscles between the brows, lowered the voice, "Don't you want to wait until I see that adult , are you willing to leave?"

——The priest who communicated with Leif and guided her to do tasks has always been Lord Deborah.Naturally, Leif thought that Lord Deborah was the one Natia Vida was talking about, and Lord Deborah was the last thing Leif wanted Natia Vida to get in touch with.

Thinking that Lord Deborah might be waiting for him, the anxiety in Leif's tone couldn't help but added another layer.

"I think Miss Knight has misunderstood something." Natia Vida held Leif's hand instead, and the two interlocked their fingers, "I was present at the ceremony of you becoming an apprentice knight and from an apprentice knight to a templar knight; your I have participated in every mission. And Lord Deborah just wrote? A few letters to? Instead of using it on me?"

"You..." Leif was about to be entangled by Natia Vida. Head Hilton pretended to be a member of the temple center in front of him, it is already very reluctant without wearing a mask?... But this is the temple center..."

"Deborah just gave you a map, but I accompanied you all the way; she just gave you a small island, and I gave you a continent; she just gave you? Four classes or? Five classes, but in the past month, I have been teaching Miss Knight every day..." Natia Vida took Leif's hand, walked north, and left After the ascetic got some distance, her tone to Deborah was not so polite either?

"Hey, Natia Vida..." Although Lev's physical strength is not bad, but after all, her legs are a bit shorter than Natia Vida's. When the latter is walking forward at full speed, she can only trot It was a bit difficult to keep up. After walking for a while, I simply stopped and refused to go.

Natia Vida only said that Leif was full of eyes? They were all "Master Deborah", so she got angry? After a while, when she looked back, she saw Leif's face, and the anger disappeared for some reason? ? Helpless and wanted to laugh.

"When did I say? I'm not a member of the temple center?" she said.

"Aren't you kidding?" Leif said.

Regarding the knowledge of the temple, Natia Vida understands no less than most of the priests and knights... When she taught me the common sense of knights, because she said that everything was clear, I had more than one time I said something like "I almost thought you were a member of the temple", and Natia Vida not only did not deny it, but also affirmed my words... But to say? Natia Vida is a holy The members of the temple center are like hanging around the neck of a mouse? A sign says "cat"... Leif is silent.

Natia Vida raised one arm, wrapped it around Lev's neck, pressed Lev's head to her chest, and said softly, "Hold me tight, and close your eyes."

This is not the first time for Leif to teleport, so he suddenly understood? What is Natia Vida going to do.

No matter how daring she was, she never thought of letting Natia Vida take her to teleport on the polar ice field—she didn't even dare to ask Natia Vida to send her from the town where she stayed overnight to the Lukefei Ice Field; Did you have the idea of ​​asking Natia Vida to send her to the White Island to have a look? But I was worried that the people in the temple around the White Island would let Natia Vida be discovered, so I gave up. the idea.

But Natia Vida dared to do this in Lukefei Ice Field.

As soon as Leff opened his mouth, the surrounding airflow became disordered. He quickly lowered his head and buried it in Natia Vida's chest.

After a while, I felt a sense of solidity under my feet.

Lev was a bit worried in surprise, and there was a hint of luck in his worry that "at this time? No one came to catch the dragon", and he was buried in Natia Vida's arms for a while as if to escape. , take a deep breath, then let go of your hand, and look up.

The extremely majestic and majestic temple appeared in front of Leif's eyes when viewed from a distance.This is a conical building with a base diameter close to its height. The steps start from evenly distributed arched doors, and extend to the distance through the gaps of tall and evenly distributed thick columns.

The construction materials of the temple center are uniform, and the material is like a transparent ice block without impurities and air bubbles, but it is obviously not ice; it looks transparent, but the activities of anyone in the temple cannot be seen from the outside.

Lev took a look at Natia Vida, and was about to say something, but found that the latter's face hadn't changed, but his demeanor had completely changed.

Natia Vida's golden eyes are calm and sharp, and her face and muscles show a state that she has never made any exaggerated expressions. Passing through a deadly war zone or just being invited to a birthday party, meeting a dignitary with both wealth and fame or witnessing the hanging of a criminal on death row for crimes - it doesn't matter. It will change this look of pity and indifference.

Mature, gentle, old-fashioned, restrained, strict... exactly the appearance of a high-level clergyman.

Lev subconsciously considered her words, and did not dare to speak casually—since Natia Vida has followed her here, no matter how many loopholes there are, she still has to help cover, and Lev even more Don't allow yourself to be a flaw.

Natia Vida led her up the steps and into one of the arched doors.

After entering the arched door, Leif frowned and looked at the front, at the left and right, and then at the back.

The material used to build the center of the temple is completely transparent when viewed from the inside out—it is truly transparent—and there is no reflection. If it is not for the refraction of light, it will cause some distortion visually. Leif almost thinks that the center of the temple is Is a flaky building, just built on a curved wall? Several arches.

Leif looked at the central part of the temple center. She clearly came to the temple center for the first time, and a strange but familiar feeling surged in her heart. She pulled Natia Vida's sleeve and said :"there……"

She frowned, looked up for a while, and said, "I always feel that something is missing."

"The blood froth at the corners of Miss Knight's eyes has just been wiped off." Natia Vida pulled Leif to a place between the two arches.

Leff recalled the experience of looking at those blue "jellyfish" just now and made his eyes bleed, so he didn't ask any more questions.

If it is another quasi-Templar, they should not be as curious as I am... People who worship God, when they arrive at the Holy Land, naturally, they will interpret all the abnormalities as holy signs, and will not go to the bottom to think about why... You have to restrain your curiosity... Leif narrowed her eyes and silently reminded herself.

The building of the temple is very tall, but there is no structure similar to stairs. If you want to go up or down, you have to go through a circle of spiral ramps.The ramp is extremely gentle, and it feels like walking on flat ground when walking up.

When looking from a low place to a high place, the sky seems to be empty, but when looking down from the high place of the ramp, it seems to be standing in the air, and you can see the top of the people on the lower ramp.

"Lord Natia Vida." A golden robed patriarch saluted.

"Praise God." Natia Vida nodded in greeting, her sleeves fluttered, and she made a gesture in front of her chest.

"Praise God." The golden-robed god? Officially said.

Leif lowered her head and said it belatedly: "Praise God." Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Natia Vida's undisturbed expression, and she almost began to doubt herself The most impious of the three.

Along the way, I met a lot of central officials dressed in golden robes, quite a few of them were familiar with Natia Vida, and the others were quite respectful.

To say? Are these people controlled by Natia Vida? It is unlikely... It seems that she has really lived in the center of the temple? It has been a long time, and her status is not low... Leff was thinking as she walked He didn't dare to lower his head to look at his feet, and he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the central officials.

She just glanced at Natia Vida from time to time, and there were many doubts hidden in her eyes.

Met again? A familiar central official, Natia Vida stopped? This time, instead of leaving quickly, I exchanged some pleasantries.

The 30-something-year-old golden-cloaked Patriarch looked at Leif, and asked casually in a tone that didn't really need the other party's answer: "This is..."

"My lover." Natia Vida pulled Lively to her body, smiling lightly, her tone so flat? It seemed like she was talking about the weather.
