Dragon and knight Ji gl

After saying this, Leif was exhausted.After all, what she exercises every day is fighting skills, not speaking skills.

If she continues to have an ambiguous conversation, she will have to memorize Deborah's superficial meaning; analyze the subtext; come up with a response to the subtext; A superficial response can not only express your own attitude and position, but also make the other party puzzled whether she has heard the subtext.

"Of course." Deborah said, "I? I used to be, I am now, and I will always be your teacher, your companion, and your supporter."

Master Deborah directly expressed her support, but she didn't comment on the previous speech, but only answered the last question... Leif didn't expect such a response, so that the few words she thought of were stuck in her throat, no one that works.

——What is this response? Meaning?

——Is it simply a statement of approval?

——Or is it just to make me? take it lightly?,

Deborah glanced across Leif's face, looked behind Leif?, then thought of something?, and suddenly laughed.

Leif followed and turned around. Through the door that didn't seem to exist, I saw Natia Vida chatting with a golden robed patriarch. It didn't look like anything? Abnormal.

—Master Deborah is laughing at what?

——Do you already know the identity of the magic dragon?

——Or do you want to verify some guesses through my reaction?

Deborah glanced at Leif again, with that expression? As if she was looking at something? Something strange? Suddenly said: "The relationship between you and that child? Is it unusual?"

"We? We are bosom... bosom friends..." Leif was flustered and hurriedly replied.

—Master Deborah why? What? Do you want to? Ask?

——What does "relationship" mean? Relationship?

——What is "unusual"? An unusual method?

——Why? What? Ming? Ming? Talking about the committee?, talking about the treatment of half-human half-beasts, and the topic suddenly turned to the dragon?

——What is there between these two topics? Is there an inevitable connection?

"No, you don't have to explain that to me." Deborah slowly? shook her head, "I? An annoying old man? Can't see how many sincere friends you make?

"If you have a bosom friend, I'll naturally be happy for you.

"That child Natia Vida? It's actually not easy to get along with..."

Every time Deborah said a word, there would be doubled questions in Leff's mind.Once she begins to analyze the subtext, every word that hits the ear seems to be full of deep meaning.Countless guesses and doubts floated in the vast ocean of thoughts, like big fish rampaging. She wanted to analyze and come up with something useful, but in the end she just made a mess.

"That child? He appeared to be very humble and sensible, but he didn't pay attention to anyone." Deborah tapped her fingertips between her eyebrows twice, as if turning a switch on or off, "'Humble and sensible' is her I learned it from someone A, but 'no one's eyes' is not her own thing?, but imitating someone B.

"There is no doubt that when the time comes, she will again? Play Ding or C."

"...I? thought? it would make you feel more at ease talking to you about people we? we knew." Deborah took an "invisible" thin pole from an "invisible" wall? Knocked lightly on Fu's forehead, "What's wrong, you seem to be in pain?"

"Hiss..." Laif covered the red mark on her forehead, and the light but dull pain pulled her out of the abyss of thoughts.

I thought of Deborah very inscrutable before, so that I was suspicious and fearful, and completely lost my senses... She gave me a very relaxing experience, but I was resisting this relaxation deep down in my heart , making myself nervous on purpose... There is nothing wrong with being prudent, but in the face of an existence whose resourcefulness and experience are far superior to mine, it is useless to try my best, and it will be full of flaws in the eyes of the other party...

There is no need to head-on with your own shortcomings and the opponent's advantages... Deborah-sama obviously knows me well, but when I know very little about her and have no advantage at all, I simply don't make unnecessary moves... ...Life's mind shifted, and then suddenly? Cut off the random thoughts, forcing himself? To focus on Deborah's words.

She observed the furnishings in the house, and then looked at the stick in Deborah's hand - this stick was similar to the one that the old priest used to knock on the child's palm, except that it was transparent .

"I'm here for the first time, and I'm a little scared when I look down—your description is quite accurate, my best friend really likes to pretend to be someone else, change to another identity, even if the appearance hasn't changed a lot? Under the circumstances, have you cheated me several times?" Leif's tone was brisk, with his hands loosely placed by his side, his eyes occasionally fell on the face of the priestess to express his attention to the latter, and most of the time he would not Used to look at the furnishings in the house.

If it wasn't for the real feeling under their feet, then the two of them would seem to be suspended in the air.

The igloo seemed to be empty, but there should be a lot of furnishings in the study.

Leff noticed the inkwell and quill that seemed to be suspended in the air, looked down carefully, and gradually could make out the outline of the desk.

— After staying in the center of the temple for a while, her eyesight gradually became sensitive to that layer of non-existent building materials.

"I'm not just talking about 'pretend'. A character in a play has an actor behind the costume and makeup; behind a mask at a ball, there's always a real face." Deborah stared at Lay. Fu looked at it for a while, and there was a look of surprise on that soft and easy-to-forget face, "And that child? It's different."

Leif knows what Deborah is wondering about?.When she feels overwhelmed, she will instead act extremely relaxed and calm—she doesn't know whether this is a special feature of her personality, or a manifestation of the mentality of "breaking the can? breaking" ?.

For example, when she first met the dragon, she was extremely afraid of being burned to ashes by the dragon fire, but the next reaction was not to run around with her head in her arms, but to stab the dragon's eyes?; Instead, she will forget about her shyness, and start to say nasty words to the dragon with a thick skin, and even move her hands? When facing a witch, Levming? Ming? , but her legs are so weak that she can't help but say something that makes Mai Ni feel provoked, so that the gap between her and Mai Ni is getting bigger and bigger...

Lord Deborah's expression now? She has seen it several times on the faces of dragons and witches... This makes Leif feel that Lord Deborah is not without the slightest flaw.

"Even I can't see what the real face of that child is." Deborah's face quickly returned to normal, "It's like a puppet that can be decorated with different costumes. Appearing in different identities... No, even a puppet has a body, but Natia Vida doesn't even have that puppet-like thing."

"Indeed, I? I can't even be sure which face is her real face. Changing faces at will is the ability of the Sacred Master." Leif's gaze was on Deborah's face, "But I? Know her preferences , Knowing her past? Knowing why she will suffer, why joy... These are the parts of Natia Vida who will not change and belong to her essence."

As she spoke, she felt her chest tight again, and her brows tightened involuntarily.

Deborah said in a tone that made it clear that she didn't quite agree, but felt that there was no need to continue to argue: "After seeing Leif, the child has indeed changed a lot."

Then he moved lightly, walked to a place close to the outer wall of the igloo, and raised his hand to touch a position.

A cool, dry wind blows in from outside.

Deborah grabbed the air, grabbed a fluorescent blue bottle, and threw it at Leif.

Leif took it and took off the cork. Inside were some small fluorescent blue pills.These pills were exactly the same in color, shape and smell as the one Natia Vida gave her.

"This is your first time coming to the Holy Land? If you don't get used to the atmosphere here, if you feel any discomfort, just take a pill." Deborah said flatly without turning around.

Leff poured a pill into his palm, wondering if this pill could have other functions besides covering up the breath of the dragon?She wasn't sure whether the tightness in her chest just now was because of not being used to the breath of the Holy Land, or just the physiological reaction brought about by the cold weather and standing at a high place.

She put the pill in her mouth and swallowed it, and the chest tightness was relieved a lot.

"The assessment will start tomorrow afternoon. Natia Vida should have told you that you need to enter the remnants of the battle 3000 years ago." Deborah said, "There are five mission areas, except Deja Except for the two on the continent, the remaining three continents have one each. You can choose one of the mission areas to enter, and the time limit is one month."

"I? Will? Think about it carefully." Leif said.

"Will Natia Vida join you in the mission?" Deborah said.

"She... with me?" Leif said.

"Natia Vida is the first time to be an examiner." Deborah paused for a while, and said, "You step down."

Although Leff was a bit puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. After saluting to Deborah, he turned around and walked towards the door, but he couldn't find the handle for a while.

"Live," Deborah's voice rang out behind her, "a good ordinary person wouldn't? think? any innocent should be sacrificed. But someone standing too high and far away can't see the innocent face clearly , Can't see clearly the emotions of this person, this person has become a symbol, a number without flesh and blood, a bargaining chip that can be manipulated at will.

"When the clergy reach a high position, they often face loss of control. If they aim at a good belief and go too far, they become the tool of this belief. When a good belief expands to an uncontrollable level, people's hearts The ? will also ? spawn monsters - remember my third lesson?

"Compared to the monsters born of unrestrained desire for money, beauty, power, status, and fame, the monster born of good beliefs and doing evil in the name of nobleness is more terrifying .

"Don't forget why you chose to become a knight; don't forget what you said to me today; when you can decide the fate of others, don't forget the common sense of ordinary people."

"I understand. I? Wouldn't...wouldn't be a monster," Lev suppressed her heart. A sour taste came out of her head for no reason. Looking back, Deborah had already Not behind her, "Lord Deborah."

--

The temporary residence provided by the center of the temple is also an "ice room". There is nothing in it except beds, tables, chairs, and cabinets—no kettle, no pillows and quilts, and no place to wash.

Leff looked around and put the bag on the cabinet.Thinking back on the journey just now, I didn’t see any places to get water for meals, nor any places that could be used to solve personal hygiene problems.

Already missed a meal, strangely not that she didn't feel hungry.

In addition to not being hungry, she didn't feel cold or uncomfortable.It seems that all the organs in the whole body have been adjusted, some sense organs have failed, and the metabolic process has completely stopped.

Up, what? I can’t see it; down, you can see the golden robed patriarch living in the ice room on the lower floor, and you can even see the one below—you can imagine living in the ice room above The people in the room can also see everything that happened in this room.

Leif's heart trembled, and then he couldn't help but look down at the movements of the golden robed patriarch below.She felt that her act of spying on the other party was not very moral, but she couldn't help but wonder why the other party acted so calmly when she knew that someone would spy on her?

Natia Vida came over, sniffed at Leif's neckline, and said, "It smells like a magician." Then she sniffed at the hairline.

"What...what are you doing?! Go away! Is Natia Vida a puppy?" Lev managed to keep himself from jumping up, and suddenly shrank to a corner of the room, wishing to look at Natia Vida With a hole in his body, his face quickly turned red, and he said in a low voice, "It's fine at other times, but now? Now someone is watching... so? It's so blatant..."

Natia Vida's expression? Indifferently, she slowly approached Leif, as if she was going to discuss something with her? A serious topic.He stopped, put one hand on the wall, trapped Leif in the corner with his arm, stared at her and said, "If Miss Knight knows how to please the examiner, maybe the examiner will reveal some important things in advance. Information."

"You..." Lev bent down, got out of Natia Vida's arms, and said with a straight face, "Master Natia Vida, don't abuse your power, I'm very satisfied Even if I don't cheat, I? Can pass—I? I remember that 'you' didn't know the assessment process very well before."

"I? I also just found out." Natia Vida said, "Which mission area does Miss Knight want to choose, do you need me to make a recommendation?"

"I? I've already considered it." Leif shook his head.

She looked at her feet from time to time, worrying about the peeking of people in the ice room above, recalling the conversation with Lord Deborah just now, and noticed a few things that were quite wrong.

"Master Natia Vida," Out of caution, Leif still chose a more appropriate title in this transparent ice room, "Have you and Dai...that lord have known each other for a long time?"

"I? joined the temple as a lawful witch, and it has been decades; and I have shown? the blood of a holy curse master, and I have been identified as a member of the center more than ten years ago. Since then, I have seen Lord Deborah's chances are increasing..." Natia Vida said, "I don't often appear in the center of the temple, and Lord Deborah has always been on the move. We know The time is not short, but I am afraid that the number of meetings will not add up? More than twenty times."

Leif has a deep understanding of Lord Deborah's "uncertain whereabouts"?She and Lord Deborah had missed several times before, and this was the second meeting, and after seeing her, Lord Deborah left again.

"So? In your opinion, what kind of person is that lord?" Leif was really afraid that the walls would have ears, so he didn't dare to call him by his name in the center of the temple.

The corners of Natia Vida's mouth were raised in a half-smile, and her brows were lightly raised. She seemed dissatisfied with hearing that person from Leif's mouth, but she still replied: "It's a silent, rigid, and unfathomable person." People, there is one more thing - they like to preach, this is a common problem of priests."

After all, it was at the center of the temple, so Natia Vida's tone wasn't too sarcastic, but it wasn't polite either.

Lev frowned, and said: "The taciturn and rigid adult who has only met Natia Vida a dozen times, but I have only met him once? Let's talk about you... Behind the scenes In terms of the length of a person, it doesn't seem like a person of this status would? do?...

"The tone of voice and expression? They are like people of my age... and the language is quite vivid, too friendly, which is really inconsistent...

"But after she turned her back to me, she seemed to become another person... When she turned her back to me, she looked a bit like the adult who wrote to me..."

Natia Vida snorted softly, and said: "After staying in the polar ice field for a long time, of course it will become weird. Think about those ascetic monks, most of them will not go to practice asceticism—you guessed it, Do they choose penance because they are different from ordinary people, or is it because of penance that they become different from ordinary people?

"Holy land? The elves advocate restraint. People restrain their desires and endure torture. This is against nature... No, the holy land? The elves simply deny the existence of nature, and do not recognize the desire of the mouth..."

Natia Vida pointed down, "I don't admit that people have voyeurism..."

Pointing up again, "I don't admit that people want to hide their secrets, so I think? Nothing? It can't be revealed in front of people.

"However, nature doesn't just disappear by pretending it doesn't exist." Natia Vida said, "How magnanimous it appears on the surface, but how depressing it is in reality. The important members of the temple center, especially It's the holy curse masters, who occasionally? show? two completely different sides of their personality."

Leff felt that what Natia Vida said was generally reasonable, but not completely right, but she couldn't tell for a while? What was the problem?She sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but look down. She found that the golden-cloaked shepherd below didn't look down on purpose, and the people below also seemed to be unable to see the people below... Then they pressed on. Tight? Look up...

After discovering what she was doing unconsciously, Leif suddenly thought of what Natia Vida said about "voyeurism" and "hiding secrets", and her face suddenly burned.

Natia Vida waited at the side.

On the way, the dragon had been pretending to be a "Knight Academy Instructor" for too long, and Leif knew that Natia Vida was waiting for her to ask questions.

She looked around again, and said, "The blue light here is a bit familiar. It reminds me of when I was in Lilliputian. Is there any relationship between the two?"

Natia Vida said: "The Blu-ray of the Lilliputian is a simulation of the polar ice field. The common point is that the city will amplify and distort the emotions to a certain extent; the difference is that the Blu-ray of the Lilliputian amplifies the negative mood, the blue light here is the exact opposite."

"That is to say, to amplify positive emotions. I originally only had one point of happiness, but when I get to this place, will I have a lot of happiness?" Leif said, "It sounds good."

"Are you sure that all your good emotions are only one point?" Natia Vida chuckled, "If you originally had eight or nine points of happiness, what would happen if you magnified it? An overly strong aroma is a bad smell; if it exceeds the limit, it will transform in the opposite direction."

Leff thought for a moment, and said: "The blue light of the Lilliputian appears? Three days a month under normal conditions, and its influence on them is generally beneficial...

"Little people advocate hard work and simplicity, and rebuke the ethos of laziness and luxury. Even the royal family and nobles dare not have too much luxury. They may even be condemned for not participating in wild hunting... and the small country has been peaceful for many years. Zhan Luan... In addition to the belief in the Holy Ruins, the blue light also played an important role, making the villains dare not indulge emotions such as greed, anger, and hatred...

"Comparatively speaking, I am afraid that the continuous blue light from the center of the temple may have a greater and more direct impact on people... After all, ordinary people know that negative emotions? Emotions are negative, and they will? go? Restrain them... But I'm afraid there is no instinct to restrain happy emotions..."

Natia Vida nodded in approval.

Leif thought of the strangeness she showed when facing Lord Deborah, not just the tears shed at the beginning.

She was very happy and excited to finally meet someone she had been looking forward to for a long time. During the conversation with Lord Deborah, she would recall those gentle sentences in the letter from time to time? Those sentences when you are confused? Give her support.

So when she finally heard what Lord Deborah said, she couldn't help but think of Lord Deborah as the teacher who had nothing to do with her, a distant traveler, someone who said to her " All the beautiful things you want to pursue? Will bring the doubts of the world and accompany you." However, she never questioned her supporters.

Lev sighed secretly, lowered his head, and was silent for a while.

Instructor Natia Vida asked, "Miss Knight, what else do you want to ask?"

Leif said: "Missing or admiring also contains positive emotions... If it exceeds a certain limit, it will also make people painful... For this reason, I can only restrain my thoughts...

"And after leaving the polar region? Ice field, there is no longer the amplification of blue light. I am afraid that there is not much missing or admiration left... This is that unless the Templars got married before they became? Is there a reason for choosing marriage?"

"Exactly so." Natia Vida looked at Leif, "Miss Knight, do you feel more envious of me now?"

Leif didn't realize the connection between Natia Vida's two words for a moment, blinked her eyes, and didn't answer.

"If Miss Knight didn't have obvious evil thoughts towards me before, but there should still be some evil thoughts," Natia Vida joined her two index fingers together, and then parted half of her palms again. "So? Now, maybe there are so many evil thoughts?"

Lev "teng"? Stand up.

"Is there so much?" Natia Vida narrowed the distance between the two fingers a little, and then narrowed a little, "Is there always so much?"

Leif shook her head and pointed to the door.

"Miss Knight, are you going to drive your best friend away?" Natia Vida put down her hands with a light smile, "You know me? If you stay here, you won't be pregnant..."

Leif walked to the door with a "tap, tap, tap," opened the door, and said politely, "Lord Natia Vida, go slowly."

"If Miss Knight really misses me, don't wait, just eat the 'Elf Tears' that Lord Deborah gave you." Natia Vida straightened her sleeves and walked slowly to At the door, he pressed a hand on the door frame with some reluctance, "After all, the temple has different requirements for knights and priests, and of course you don't want to practice penance. 'Elf Tears' can minimize the impact of blue light." Little, can you properly?, secretly? Miss me?..."
