In the woods on the edge of the Tree of Life in Aurelia, twenty or thirty rangers gathered together and built a small temporary camp.
Patience's ranger troops and the sword dancers led by Faal have been confronting each other for three or four days. In the past few days, Patience has often persuaded Fal'o to put down his weapon and surrender, but every time, the old druid would block him back, which made her quite aggrieved.
"Fal'o, that guy is really smelly and hard!" Patience was in a very bad mood. You can tell from her appearance that she just experienced another unsuccessful attempt to persuade her to surrender.
Putting the dark green magic longbow by her side, she lifted the hood, and with a serious face, she sat in the center of the camp, holding a cup of nectar brought up by the guard next to her.
The adjutant Pearl sitting beside her said: "General, it's not an option to procrastinate like this. Dane will come back sooner or later. With his character, it is impossible for us to let us occupy Auriel City. In this case, it is inevitable There will be a battle. Faro and the others are so steadfastly on Dane's side, once Dane comes back with the mercenaries from Ghost Saber Port, these sword dancers will definitely stab us from behind Let's get a knife. We have to solve this trouble quickly."
Listening to Pearl's words, Patience seemed a little hesitant: "We are fighting for the elves, and they are all elves... Moreover, Dane is an envoy of God. Although he violated our tradition, he has not yet arrived. The moment the soldiers meet, the killing begins..."
Hearing what Patience said, Pearl also hesitated.
Obviously, these two women have no experience in rebellion or seizing power. The combined age of the two may be five or six hundred years old, but they still seem very naive in thinking. Things like power seizures and rebellions should be avoided at all and just stay put; or they should be decisive enough to eliminate the threats that should be eliminated and make all the preparations that should be made. He wants to rebel and restore the tradition of the elves, but he has all kinds of fetters and doubts, so he is hesitant to act. How can this be a big deal
When the two women were in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, they heard a sound next to their ears. Looking up, I saw Cecilia coming in a hurry from not far away.
The first thing the priestess said when she walked up to Patience made her overjoyed: "I have convinced Esther, and she promised to cooperate with us!"
"Great!" Patience stood up, hugged Cecilia, and said in her ear: "With the support of the temple of Eslor, the elves who believe in God the Father , will be our strongest backing! Cecilia, you are really my good helper, I never thought that you can actually persuade the temple to stand on our side, really blessed by Elune! "
Cecilia smiled and said: "Since I am on your side, I will definitely think about you no matter what. However, there is one thing, Esther proposes to meet with you alone, time It's tomorrow morning. She hopes to complete the agreement under the witness of Hilo."
"Okay, no problem, you can go back and tell Esther now, I will be at the temple on time tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll go there first and wait for you tomorrow."
Watching Cecilia leave, Pearl walked to Patience's side and said worriedly: "General, why do I feel something is wrong?"
Patience said, "What's wrong?"
"Isn't Eslor supposed to be a staunch supporter of Dane? We have contacted the temple several times before, but there is no news. Why are you suddenly willing to stand by our side? And, in the past, When you and Dane had conflicts, Cecilia helped Dane to persuade you. It is strange that she would suddenly join our camp. Tomorrow, the two of them will ask you to go to the temple alone Go, how do I feel... there is a taste of conspiracy?"
Patience shook her head and said, "Pearl, you are overthinking. Under the witness of God the Father, all schemes and tricks will not succeed. Moreover, Cecilia and I have been together for almost two hundred years. I believe she will never harm me. Don’t you forget that at Nancy Royal Court, if she hadn’t activated the power of the Peacock Forest Temple, I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to escape the Central Mountain Range. "
"Okay..." Pearl was reluctantly persuaded. Although she was still uneasy, she really had nothing else to persuade Patience. She could only say: "Well then, General, when you go tomorrow, I will take a small team and stay outside the temple as a guard."
Patience originally wanted to directly reject Pearl's proposal. In her opinion, isn't this still distrust of Cecilia? However, just when she was about to refuse, a thought flashed in her head, like a ghost, she chose to agree: "Okay, but when you bring someone here, don't be discovered by anyone."
"Okay, general, don't worry, in the forest, except for the ranger who can find the ranger, we want to hide well, and no one can catch us."
…
Time passed fast and slow, and on the second day, that is, in the early morning of the sixth day after Patience launched the rebellion, she came to the temple of Aurenadu alone.
The gate of the outer courtyard of the temple was opened in front of her. Two priests in white robes stood on both sides of the gate, with solemn expressions, as if they were a little nervous, waiting for her to step in.
Taking a deep breath, Pei Xinsi felt another strange emotion that was inexplicably welling up in her heart. In front of her eyes, the gate of the temple seemed to be the mouth of a monster that opened its mouth wide and was about to choose someone to devour.
Shaking her head, Patience threw this unreasonable speculation out of her mind, and said to herself: "This is the temple of God the Father, how is it possible?"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the deserted forest outside the temple, where Pearl's ranger guards were ambushing. In this way, she seemed to feel a lot more at ease.
Gathering her mind, Patience took a deep breath, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and stepped into the gate.
Cecilia was waiting behind the gate, on the steps of the temple. Seeing her coming, the high-ranking priest greeted her and said with a smile, "Come in, Priest Eslor has been waiting for a long time."
Patience felt that the two priests in white robes beside her were looking at her with strange eyes. This made her feel somewhat unnatural, but when Cecilia showed a passionate face in front of her, she suppressed this worry back to the bottom of her heart.
"Well, I'm also looking forward to this communication with Priest Eslor." Patience said as she walked into the pure white and holy temple with Cecilia.
