Leader of the Ark Raiders

"Why is the temple built at such a high place?" Saber asked.

Shen Cangye said: "Many shrines and temples in this country are built on high places. I think this has something to do with the separation of gods and gods from the outside world. Well... I don't know the details."

"It's actually my first time visiting a place like this," Saber said. "Will we have a chance to visit the temple?"

Shen Cangye nodded, "If you want."

They climbed up the stairs, crossed the mountain gate and the torii gate, and entered the Liudong Temple.

On weekdays, Liudong Temple is an ordinary temple.

After crossing the gate of the temple, you will face the majestic worship hall.

The wooden door of the worship hall is a little old and peeling off the paint, but the low-pitched log color is warm and simple, as if echoing the sound of fireworks and people in the prosperous ancient times.

Saber looked around curiously.

Shen Cangye came over and stuffed the five yuan coin into her hand.

"It's already here, why don't you pay homage according to the custom here." Shen Cangye said.

"How to do it?" Saber looked suspiciously at the opened wooden door in front of the worship hall, the clock hung with a rope, and the stacked cash boxes.

Shen Cangye pulled her forward.

He walked to the door of the worship hall and threw the coins into the incense box.

Saber asked: "Is this how everyone flips coins?"

Shen Cangye nodded, "In the language here, the pronunciation of five yuan is the same as 'Yuyuan', which represents your fate with God. Incense money is usually given this amount, of course, the priests don't mind if you give more Some."

Shen Cangye shook the bell on the hemp rope, clapped his hands and bowed, "It is said that if you ring the bell like this, God can hear your voice."

The blond knight obediently complied.

Shen Cangye looked at her and smiled, "Make a wish."

"En." The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and made a wish.

Then, she opened her eyes again, and secretly glanced at the Master standing beside her.

"Are you ready?" Shen Cangye asked.

Saber's ears turned red, she looked away and said, "Okay."

"Then let's go." Shen Cangye turned around and left.

The little knight followed quickly, wanted to hold hands but didn't dare to do so, so he quietly tugged at his sleeves.

"Oh, that's right." Shen Cangye paused, and took out a small amulet from his pocket, "Maria, this is for you."

"what is this?"

"It's similar to an amulet. I bought it in a nearby shop. I hope it can bless us in the next battle." Shen Cangye said.

"Ah, thank you!" The girl took it in surprise and put it in the inside pocket of her clothes, "I will always carry it!"

"Okay, that's the general process of visiting the worship, let's go." Shen Cangye pointed down the mountain.

Saber clutched his sleeve, a little reluctant to part, but still nodded obediently.

162. Please don’t do shameful things in the temple

The two walked slowly towards the mountain gate of Liudong Temple.

After walking a few steps, Saber stopped suddenly, "Doctor Shen, what are those? A bunch of wooden signs hanging on the shelf over there."

Shen Cangye followed her gaze.

On the side of the worship hall, there is a wooden shelf.

Palm-sized wooden plaques are hung all over the wooden frame.

Ribbons of various colors are flying, which looks really good-looking.

Shen Cangye said: "That is called an ema, and it is used to make wishes. You can write your wishes on the back of the ema, and then hang it in front of the temple, praying for God's protection."

"Then can I try?" the little knight asked.

Shen Cangye was a little surprised, but still nodded.

The blond girl took the money, rushed to the store excitedly, and bought an ema.

She took the pen, wrote something very solemnly, and ran to hang it on the painted horse stand on the side of the worship hall.

"Okay." After finishing all this, the blonde girl ran over with a smile.

Shen Cangye took a step forward and walked towards the painted horse stand, "Let me see what wish you made."

Saber grabbed him in fright, "Don't look, don't look, let's go, it's getting late!"

Shen Cangye ignored her, "It won't take long to take a look, um... I remember you were hanging in this position just now..."

"Don't look at it!" Saber was anxious, "Don't look at it!"

She tugged at Shen Cangye's arm, then pulled it back.

Shen Cangye became interested, "Hey, you are in such a hurry, did you write something..."

He reached out to flip through the latest piece of painted horse hanging on the painted horse stand.

The blond girl behind was startled.

With a strong hand, she forcibly pulled Shen Cangye to turn around.

"Ah, Maria, don't be so violent!"

Just as Shen Cangye opened his mouth, two pieces of warm softness blocked his words.

The little knight, who was just in love, stood on tiptoe, clasped his shoulders with both hands, and kissed him a little jerky and nervous.

Shen Cangye leaned down slightly, satisfying her reckless attempt.

The green little knight is so nervous.

So much so that the sound of her beating heart was transmitted to Shen Cangye through her close body.

After a while, the blond girl backed up with a flushed face, and said hesitantly: "Irisviel told me that this can replenish the magic power, so I...well, it's not for any other reason, but..."

"The magic channel between me and you seems to be not smooth, maybe only a little better than Irisviel. I can't find out the reason, and I don't know how to solve this problem." Shen Cangye said, "You pass the 'Dragon Can Furnace' restore enough mana?"

"It's okay if the supply isn't smooth...it's okay...well, it's actually... quite good." Saber lowered her head, her voice like a gnat.

She didn't dare to look at Shen Cangye, but she opened her arms and hugged him tentatively.

Shen Cangye looked at her, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry, Maria."

"what?"

"I said, I'm sorry." Shen Cangye said, "I got you involved. In fact, you came into this world because of me. I didn't protect you well. I got you hurt and got you involved. ,I'm very sorry."

"No—don't say sorry! Doctor Shen!" The little knight buried his face in his arms, "I feel very lucky to be here with you and experience these things, although this may be just a dream, but This must be a dream that I don't want to forget! If only this dream could last forever..."

Shen Cangye caressed her blond hair, not knowing what to say for a while.

Saber rubbed his chest, and said: "I still want to experience many things with you, not only the first visit to the temple, but also many, many firsts, I just want to be with you..."

After she finished speaking, she buried her head sullenly, "Don't laugh at me being stupid."

"How could it be?" Shen Cangye smiled and patted her on the back.

The two hugged each other for a while, Shen Cangye said: "Maria, do you think we are blasphemy?"

"what?"

Shen Cangye pointed to the Buddha statue beside him, "After all, this god has been shining all his life—"

Boom!

Suddenly a thunderbolt cut off Shen Cangye's words.

For some reason, heavy black clouds gathered in the sky, and silver lightning flashed through them from time to time, followed by thunderclaps.

"Wow, you said the wrong thing!"

As soon as Saber finished speaking, it started to rain suddenly.

The bean-sized raindrops immediately wet the floor, Shen Cangye hurriedly dragged the girl and ran away.

The two ran to hide under the eaves of the worship hall, watching the falling rain helplessly.

It seemed that the rain would not stop for a while, so the two had no choice but to sit down on the steps in front of the worship hall.

"Maria, let me tell you something." Shen Cangye said, looking at the raindrops that had formed a line outside the eaves.

"what's up?"

"I don't speak Casimir."

Saber tilted her head, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Shen Cangye said: "Your ema is written in Casimir, right? So even if I know which one it is, I still can't understand it."

"Ah!?" Saber was taken aback, "You! You did it on purpose—!"

163. Do not sleep at noon, collapse in the afternoon

Shen Cangye looked at Saber and scratched his head, "I didn't do it on purpose, I just wanted to tease you, don't be angry."

The blond knight was extremely embarrassed, "Really! If I had known, I wouldn't have—"

In the middle of speaking, she stopped with some embarrassment.

Shen Cangye laughed and said, "So, what did you write on your emama? Let me know."

"I won't tell you!" The girl blushed again.

Shen Cangye said: "Is it to keep us all safe in the Holy Grail War?"

"If you think it's this, then it's this!" Saber turned her face away from him, "It's what you think it is."

Shen Cangye said: "Well, to be honest, my wish now is to hope that the rain will stop soon."

He cast his gaze over the eaves.

Not only did the rain not stop, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

"I was wrong, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." Shen Cangye regretted the first time, "I still thought I could go home and sleep early."

Saber was stunned, "Doctor Shen, will it be very tiring to come out with me?"

Shen Cangye shook his head, "The main reason is that I have the habit of taking a lunch break. If I don't sleep at noon, I will be sleepy all afternoon."

After coming out this morning, I have been driving, and now the CPU of my brain is almost stopped.

"Then..." the King of Knights muttered, "Then rely on me to rest for a while?"

"No need, no need." Shen Cangye smiled and patted the girl's head, "I'll just close my eyes and rest for a while."

"Alright then." Knight Xiaoyao said, "I'll call you when the rain stops."

Shen Cangye nodded and closed his eyes.

Accompanied by the pattering rain, drowsiness quickly swept through the brain.

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was Saber's face.

She was looking at him intently.

As soon as Shen Cangye moved, he realized that he was lying on the blonde girl's lap.

"Ah, huh? What about me?" Shen Cangye was startled, it was not his style to relax his vigilance and fall asleep like this.

"It's okay, the rain has stopped, if you still feel tired, you can rest for a while." Saber said softly, stroking his hair.

"I'm sorry, sorry, I've delayed too long." Shen Cangye cast his gaze outside the worship hall.

The ground seemed a little dry, and he wasn't sure how long he had slept.

"Okay, let's go back."

As Shen Cangye said, he wanted to sit up.

Saber leaned down and kissed his forehead.
