"This is it?"

Standing in front of the gate of the monastery, the head paladin raised his head, looked at the gorgeous and magnificent gate in front of him, and frowned slightly. But soon, that strange look disappeared from his face, and he regained his original seriousness and seriousness. He glanced at a few of his colleagues beside him, then stepped forward, picked up the knocker and patted the door vigorously. It didn't take long for footsteps to be heard, and then a gap opened in the heavy gate, and everyone was vigilantly watched.

"Who are you? What's the matter here? ”

"We are paladins from the Holy White City."

As he spoke, the Paladin took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

"In the name of the Supreme Council, come here to find someone."

But the other party did not take the paladin's paperwork, the blue eyes blinked curiously, and he didn't even look at the sacred badge on the paperwork.

"So, do you have your lord's permission?"

"Oh? This, of course. ”

Hearing this, the paladin was stunned for a moment, and then took out another letter from his bosom and handed it over. This time, the other party took the letter in his hand, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then nodded. Seeing this scene, the paladin couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, how could he say that it was also a token of the Supreme Council, but he didn't expect that in such a rural place, he would be so ignorant that he couldn't see the sacred mark of the Supreme Council, and he only recognized the mark of their lord -- could it be that in their hearts, the Templar Order was inferior to a local lord?

Never mind. In this kind of rural place, there is no way to be short-sighted. As long as they follow the procedure and do what needs to be done, that's fine.

"Okay, you can come in."

The people in the door don't know now. They didn't care what these paladins thought, after confirming that the letter was correct, she "snapped" and closed the cat's eye, and then everyone only heard a few rumbling sounds, and then the door several meters high in front of them slowly opened, and it was only at this time that they realized that the person standing behind the gate was a young blonde maid dressed in a blue and white maid suit. See them coming at this moment. The maid also bowed her head respectfully.

"Welcome to the monastery, please ......... here"

As she spoke, the maid gestured gracefully to the crowd, then turned and led them deeper into the monastery. And seeing that it was just a girl in front of them, those paladins had nowhere to complain in their hearts, they stared at each other for a while, and had no choice but to follow.

I have to admit that the elegance of the monastery also surprised these paladins, although they said that they had seen many monasteries. But it is rare to find a monastery as ornate as a royal palace like the one in Passus. Although they were a little dissatisfied with the lord's extravagant style, they still remembered the mission they had come here and did not say anything more because of it. After all, within the Templar Order, how difficult the place is for Passus. It's not a rumor for a long time. Not to mention that the previous unlucky investigation team in Passus was already known to everyone, in fact, they came to the monastery this time. It was also Archbishop Howard who had greeted the lord in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to break in casually.

It was very smooth along the way. The entire interior of the monastery was quite quiet and did not change with the arrival of the paladins. It wasn't long before the maid saw the paladins lead them to a reception room, and then she quietly retired.

"The lord has already explained the specific situation in the letter, so I will go and call her over now, and I ask you to wait."

With that, Alice turned to leave. It was only at this time that the paladins turned their heads and began to carefully examine the meeting room in front of them. The head paladin looked at the luxurious and elegant decoration in front of him, but couldn't help but shake his head.

"Really, such a place......... Alas, the lord was too extravagant. ”

"What's the solution, who calls people rich, but thank God, this lord still has an aesthetic concept. Either way, the monastery looks just comfortable. Do you remember the last time we went to the Linhai Chamber of Commerce, it was all paved with gold leaf from top to bottom, and my eyes lit up when I came out, even if it was a stone on the side of the road, I looked like gold. ”

Hearing the other paladin speak, everyone chuckled a few times, but soon their faces became serious again. It's really not good that the current situation on the mainland is not good, although they didn't go to the front line to kill the enemy, but the news from the rear is enough to make people feel anxious.

"Squeak.........

It didn't take long for the originally closed door to open again, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, the paladins hurriedly raised their heads and looked towards the door. Then they saw a slender figure come out of the inside.

Looking at the paladins in front of her, Irnest frowned, she didn't know what these paladins were looking for her, but she didn't want to meet with these paladins. If the other party didn't ask her by name, then Irest didn't want to show up. But now, since the other party has come to the door, and there is a letter from the lord, then Irnest has nothing to see them.

"You're Elinster?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, the paladin led by him immediately stood up, walked in front of her, looked at her with a serious expression and asked. Hearing the paladin's inquiry, Elester hesitated for a moment, then nodded. However, she still looked at the paladin in front of her with vigilant and scrutinizing eyes, and the whole person looked like a fried kitten who had found that a stranger had intruded into her territory.

And looking at the girl in front of them, the paladins were also quite helpless. It's not the first time they've performed this task, but no matter which one they go to, as long as they reveal their identity, the other party will basically let down their vigilance. Where is the girl in front of her, after hearing their identities, she became more and more vigilant, and it seemed as if she was guarding against them as bandits. None of the people present were stupid, and from the girl's eyes, they could feel each other's vigilance and hatred, which made the paladins quite depressed. It had always been those evil people who had been watching them like this, and now, the invitee was actually looking at them like this, which really made the paladins look a little embarrassed and helpless.

It's helpless, but before coming here, they also did their homework, and they knew that the other party did this for a reason, so they weren't too angry. On the contrary, after perceiving Irnest's nervousness, the Paladin at the head even smiled and tried to reassure her.

"Please don't be nervous, Miss Elinst, we are here to invite you to the White Tower on an important mission for the entire continent by order of the Supreme Council of the Templar Order, I wonder what you think?"

Although his tone was very respectful, in the end, this paladin was still a little proud. After all, it seemed to him that no one could refuse an invitation from the Templar Order -- but alas, the harsh reality soon shattered his fragile dreams. I saw that after hearing the paladin's words, Elinster's face suddenly changed greatly, and then she took a step back without hesitation and shook her head firmly.

"Uh........."

Looking at Irnest's appearance as if she was facing a great enemy, the paladin was also speechless. He thought for a moment, then coughed lightly and continued.

"Miss Elinster, I know that there are some complicated reasons why you have a misunderstanding about the Templar. However, it's all trifles. Right now, the whole continent will face a crisis, the evil force is sweeping everything wildly, we need your power to help us, destroy evil, and do justice. Are you willing to just watch those innocent people being harmed in the shadow of evil? Not only that, but think of the place where you live, here, in Passus, where those evils will also spread, spread, and destroy everything, would you like to see this? ”

“……………”

Although the other party said a lot, Elester shook her head firmly, and then she took out a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, and then turned it and put it in front of the paladin.

"I don't know what power I have, but no matter what you say, I won't help the Templar!! 】

Perhaps to express her determination, Irnest even used three exclamation points in a row, and then before everyone could react, she threw the paper in her hand to the side, and then turned away without looking back. It wasn't until Elinst's figure disappeared into the corridor again that the paladins came to their senses.

"This ............"

Looking at the empty corridor in front of them, everyone looked at each other in amazement. It was the first time they had encountered something like this, and they didn't know what to do. After a few moments, a paladin broke the silence and asked hesitantly.

"Captain, she doesn't want to go, so what should we do?"

There is no answer to this question. It wasn't that no one resisted this before, but they were moved by affection and reason, and in the end, the other party was willing to agree to their invitation. It's rare for Elester to refuse without saying a word, without giving face to the Templar at all, and it seems that she doesn't want to give face to the Templar either.

"It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought."

Hearing the answer of his subordinates, the paladin led by him picked up the piece of paper that Irimp threw away, looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, and sighed helplessly.

"In that case, we'll have to talk to the lord again." (To be continued.) )
