Hearing a ranger emerge from outside, the three people in the temple hall looked at each other in dismay.
Dane said with a smile: "Patience is a bit careful and knows to bring someone here. However, what can I do if I don't enter the temple? I'm afraid, she never thought that she would be in the temple. Did something like this happen to you?"
He's not in a bad mood now, the confidant Patience has been dealt with, and the remaining rangers are no longer a big hidden danger. As long as no conflict breaks out for the time being, and after Patience completely obeys her orders, these rangers will not only not become hidden dangers in the territory, but will transform themselves. Under the leadership of Patience, they will become Dane's hands an important force.
What else is he upset about
Outside the temple, Pearl and the rangers she brought were already in his pocket in Dane's eyes. However, Patience is still in a coma, and the contract ceremony of the scroll of absolute belief has not yet been concluded, so it is not yet a good time to subdue these rangers.
"Well, I'll go out to deal with those rangers, Dane, just complete the contract ceremony as soon as possible."
It was Cecilia who was talking. She had wandered with these elf rangers for a long time on the Golden Fragrant Leaf, and she also escaped from the Central Mountain Range together a long time ago. During this period of time, her status as a high-ranking priest has laid a solid prestige foundation among these elves. With Patience unable to come forward, it should be the most suitable choice for her to stabilize the emotions of Pearl and the other rangers.
What's more, she doesn't have to do too much. Although the conclusion of the contract ceremony will take a certain amount of time, it should be done within an hour at most. Hold back the rangers outside for about an hour, no matter what, Cecilia is sure that she can do it.
Dane is also quite relieved of her. After this incident, he can basically confirm that the loyalty of this Nancy Elf who came from the Central Mountain Range with Patience should be guaranteed. .
"Okay, then you go. Esther comes with me and assists me in completing the contract ceremony. We have to speed up and get these things done quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
…
Pearl couldn't bear it anymore.
She lurks outside the temple with a small band of rangers, always patient. But an hour ago, after she heard some small voices coming from the temple, her patience could not last.
As an elite unit of Nancy Royal Court, it is not that she did not lead the rangers to carry out more difficult and patient ambush missions. It stands to reason that she does not lose patience so easily. But before, the sound from inside the temple really made people pay too much attention—to her ears, it sounded like the sound of a battle erupting.
From the very beginning, when Patience decided to go to the meeting alone, she had dissuaded her. She was already suspicious, but when she heard this inexplicable voice, she became even more uneasy.
Under the anxiety in her heart, she couldn't persuade herself to continue guarding here safely. So, after several hesitations, she finally made a decision. She jumped out from her hiding place with a dozen rangers, and rushed to the gate of the temple aggressively, demanding to see Patience.
This request was directly rejected by the two white-clothed priests guarding the temple gate.
Persisting, Pearl continued to put pressure on the two priests.
I was very anxious in my heart, but even so, Pearl never had the courage to lead people directly to the temple.
In the society of elves, faith is very important. Elves have freedom of belief. The elf pantheon is one of the few pantheons with a fairly harmonious interior, and basically there will be no conflicts with the pantheon. Therefore, in the elven society, people who believe in Helo the Father God, Elune the Mother Goddess, Iska the Son of the Wind, Edwin the Son of the Stars... All kinds of beliefs can live in harmony.
In an elven society that values belief, freedom and openness, and does not have organizations like religious inquisitions, attacking temples is a kind of disrespect and a great violation of elven traditions. Pearl, like Patience, was a very traditional elf. Even though she was worried about her general's safety, she still didn't dare to act rashly until she got accurate information.
Ever since, Pearl could only continue to test the pressure on the two priests guarding the gate, and even took out his bow and arrow, threatening with force.
In essence, this kind of threat itself can be regarded as a kind of arrogance, but at least, she has not actually used force, nor has she forcibly broken into the temple without permission, which is an excuse to comfort herself .
Then Pearl waited for Cecilia.
Cecilia still has a certain status in the hearts of rangers. During this year's escape, the high-ranking priest ate and lived with them, and his identity as a religious leader was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If Patience is their leader, then Cecilia can almost be regarded as their spiritual pillar.
Although, after going to Comilla Island, some estrangement appeared between Patience and Cecilia because of Dane. But this kind of separation was alleviated a lot when Cecilia was on their side after the rangers started a rebellion some time ago.
Therefore, when Cecilia said that Patience was still inside talking with Priest Ethlor about whether Dane was suitable to be the leader of Aurinadu, even though Pearl was still somewhat uneasy, she still It is a letter.
After a while, when Patience did not show up, Pearl became anxious again, and began to exert pressure on the temple again, forcing Cecilia out.
At this time, the priestess changed the excuse, saying that they were discussing the specific response plan for Dane after returning to Cormya.
The doubts in Pearl's heart deepened. She seemed to vaguely feel that these were all excuses, but she still didn't dare to make a decisive choice and could only continue to wait.
After another period of time, the same scene happened again, and the excuse was that Patience was invited by Esther to participate in a private prayer event.
By this time, Pearl could no longer convince himself to believe Cecilia's words.
"Priest Cecilia, I must see General Patience now." Pearl summoned up the courage to say this.
Cecilia's face turned cold, and she scolded: "Adjutant Pearl, please pay attention to your identity! Standing in front of you is the dean of Peacock Forest. Is this how Patience usually teaches you etiquette?"
Normally, if she was scolded like this, Pearl would definitely not dare to talk back. However, at this moment, her doubts were infinite. She gritted her teeth and said, "This is the order left by General Patience before entering the temple. I must see her in person right now, otherwise...or don't blame me for not You're welcome."
Cecilia was furious: "Presumptuous!"
Pearl could only choose to turn a deaf ear. As soon as she waved her hand, the rangers behind raised their bows and arrows one after another, and the situation seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from the temple: "Pearl, who gave you the courage to use weapons in front of the temple?"
This voice was not Patience, who else could it be
