The top is small and the bottom is wide, layer upon layer, gold and white. The towering, typical church-like complex is surrounded by tall, white vines covered with metal fences.
The narrow pale green leaves on the vines are adorned with golden, bell-like flowers, which are beautiful in clusters.
The young Marian, holding her flower, entered through the gate with the youth version of Augs.
The gate of the fence is made of a kind of white metal fused, and the metal is inlaid with light golden wooden pillars carved with patterns. It is large and strong, majestic and gorgeous.
On the door are three large characters wrapped in circles, and the letter is "Jiaoyutang".
On both sides of the open door were neatly and straightly lined up with guards in gold and white uniforms, with swords on their waists and long staffs.
Augus took Marianne and walked past the guards without looking sideways. From the steps to the raised corners of his robes, he was meticulous and meticulous like a measuring ruler.
In terms of appearance, although Augus still looked like a handsome young man at this time, his expression already had the aura of Leng Su and majesty a few decades later.
The smile on Marianne's face was rather childish. She was pulled by her senior brother in one hand and the flower in the other, walking briskly.
The guards who lined up in two lines had the same respect and indifference on their faces. When the two passed by, they silently put their hands on their waists, bowed their heads and saluted, and stood up until they passed.
Li Xin quietly followed behind the two of them, passed between the guards, and walked with them on the neat and clean white stone road inside the door.
The road is spacious, with trees neatly lined on both sides, the tree body is dark golden, the trunk is straight, several feet high. There is a lawn under the tree, and the lawn is planted with white flowers.
There was a guard standing every few meters on both sides of the road. They were the same as those at the gate of the city. When they saw the two, they silently bowed and saluted. Going all the way, it looks like two rows of Milo dominoes.
The young Augus was expressionless, and the young Marian turned a blind eye to them and walked on their own way. Presumably in her opinion, these silent guards were no different from a pillar.
Li Xin followed the two, followed them across the lawn, up the white stone steps, and then entered the lobby-style main hall of the building.
Passing through the guards at the entrance of the hall, there were other people in the same gold and white uniforms, doing their own work and hurrying to and fro.
When these people saw Augus and Marianne, they all bowed silently.
Augus nodded in return, and the little Marian who was being held by him also nodded, as if his movements were re-engraved from Augus, exactly the same as him.
Li Xin followed the two through five or six corridors, two or three squares, and all the way to the entrance of a towering hall in the middle of the building complex.
At the entrance of the hall stood two huge golden pillars that were hugged by dozens of people, and two guards stood beside the pillars.
Different from the previous ones, the two guards were dressed in gold and white. Not only did they have to be taller, but their aura was even more unfathomable.
Seeing Augs and Marian, they only nodded slightly compared to the bows of the other guards.
"Kyle, Kate." Augus maintained his usual awe-inspiring expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the teacher in there?"
The guard in white uniform replied: "Yes, Your Excellency Tang Jun."
Augus then led Marianne into the temple.
Li Xin's eyes turned around on the two of them, and walked in as well.
"You're back?" As soon as the two stepped into the door, an old and serious voice came from the hall.
The hall is wide, the ground and walls are a kind of heavy golden color, there are steps in the deep hall of the hall, there are desks and bookcases on the steps, and a person turns out behind the desks.
"Teacher." Augus bowed slightly.
Li Xin stood by Marian's side and found that since the little girl entered the room, she took her brother's hand and let it go, her steps became smaller, and even her smile turned into a slight, just right dignified arc.
She raised her skirt and saluted, and called out in a clear, tactful voice, "Teacher."
In this way, she looks like Marianne when she was seventeen or eighteen.
"Um."
The person who walked out from behind the desk walked down the steps unhurriedly.
Gold and white uniform, black robe, tall, thin, silver-white hair smooth and neatly tied behind his head.
The visitor walked to Augus first, and said indifferently, "Have you finished the task given to you?"
"Yeah." Augs nodded.
Li Xin walked around Marianne's side very lightly, walked to the open space, and turned her eyes around the man.
High cheekbones, deep and long nasolabial lines, white hair and beard, dark blue eyes, deep and sharp.
The old man paced slowly and said again: "The order left by Ms. Legos, that child, should be around this time..."
Augers said: "I'll send someone to look for him - to bring him back."
"No." The old man said in a deep voice, turning his head sharply, his eyes fixed on Marianne who was beside him, "Let her go."
When he turned his head, his eyes inadvertently met Li Xin who was standing beside Marianne for a moment.
At that moment, Li Xin suddenly felt that she was suddenly stared at by some kind of predatory bird.
Augus frowned in disapproval, opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the old man with a neat wave.
"You have to remember, Augus, she is a Legus. This is her honor and her responsibility." The old man patted his shoulder and said solemnly.
Augs was silent.
The old man then turned around and looked down at Marianne, "Do you understand?"
Li Xin and Marianne faced the old man's gaze, the eyes were heavy, severe, and there were more complicated things hidden inside, making it difficult to guess.
Li Xin lowered her eyebrows and glanced at her. Marianne's small hand holding the flower was unconsciously clenched by her side.
The young girl maintained the smile on her face, her shiny silver braids slipped in front of her when she bowed her head, and she respectfully said, "Yes, teacher."
"Yeah." The old man nodded, stared at her braid a moment later and frowned, "Don't wear it like this again, you have to look like Legos."
Little Marianne pursed her lips a little, but still replied, "Okay, teacher."
Augus glanced at her calmly and coughed softly, "The teacher, let's go back to the residence first."
Hearing him say that, little Marianne's eyes lit up.
"Yeah." The old man nodded and suddenly stopped them when he turned, "Wait. Marianne, if I remember correctly, you are almost nine years old. Your inheritance of... should be on the agenda. Your mother is Got it's recognition at the age of ten."
The word in the middle, Li Xin, had never been heard before, so it was very unfamiliar, and I didn't know what it meant.
Hearing this sentence, little Marian, who had already turned around and was about to go out, was relieved and her body froze, her ruddy face turned white.
Augers looked at her, frowned, put his hand around her shoulder, turned around and said to the old man, "Teacher, let's talk about it later... When she grows up."
"This is glory, Augus." The old man's eagle-like eyes looked at him with disapproval.
Li Xinguang looked at it, and felt the pressure coming from that wrinkled face.
However, Augus looked at him without hesitation, and nodded naturally: "I know, teacher."
After that, the straight upper body bowed slightly, turned around and exited the hall.
Seeing the moment he turned around, Li Xin calmly gave the little Marian a look.
The little girl did not collapse and secretly raised the corners of her lips, hurriedly saluted, and followed him to the outside of the hall.
This time the old man didn't stop him, he just put his hands behind his back, frowning at the backs of the two men, one big and one small.
Li Xin's eyes quickly turned around in the hall for a few more times, and after confirming that she had recorded what it looked like, she turned around and continued to follow Augus and Marianne.
The two came out of the hall and walked towards the back of the building complex one after the other.
They were silent all the way, until the two came to a courtyard along the fork and entered the courtyard gate.
The courtyard has a garden, a small pavilion, and a two-story attic. Very Marianne style place. It's just bigger and more gorgeous than those in Guhu Town and Hanyuan City. Moreover, the flowers here are only golden and white.
The last guards stood at the gate of the courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard, they were no longer there.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Marianne couldn't wait to resume her jumping pace. She walked faster and faster, and even trotted to the door.
"Slow down." Augus showed a little helplessness on his face, and opened his legs to catch up.
"Ogg! Come on, you said help me find the vase—" Marianne ran into the door and circled around the white round table on the first floor like a butterfly, her bright green eyes looking at Augus expectantly.
Augus looked very soft, and quickly took out a small white porcelain bottle for her from the cabinet, filled it with water, and turned around to reach out to little Marian who was following behind him: "Give it to me."
The little girl with silver braids immediately lifted the flower and handed it to him, her smiling face rubbed against his waist.
Augus' eyes were softer, he took the flowers, put the bottles on the table, and inserted them one by one.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the flower stem with several marks on it, and he paused.
The little girl held her face and looked at her beloved flower, ignoring his expression.
"Lian." After thinking for a moment, Augus spoke.
"Huh?" Little Marianne raised her head and looked at him suspiciously.
"..." Augus was silent for a moment, then spit out a word, "The fusion of... You should have been able to do it a long time ago."
It was the word that Li Xin had never heard before.
Little Marianne's expression darkened immediately.
This is the first time Li Xin has seen Marian Leggs with such an expression, anxious and even a little bit sharp.
She always seems to be as gentle as the spring breeze, unhurried, elegant and beautiful.
"You know? Are you going to tell the teacher?" Little Marianne hugged the vase and said coldly.
"No... Lianne, don't be like this." Augus was startled by her performance, frowned in defense, hesitated for a moment, and patted her shoulder again: "I just don't understand, why? It's not a bad thing. The thing... Lianne, you're obviously the most talented Regus ever..."
"You don't know! What do you know? Augs, you don't know at all—" Little Marianne stood up, turned and walked upstairs, halfway up the stairs, and turned around again.
The little girl stood on the ladder, her green eyes filled with tears, and the sadness that did not fit her age.
"Augus, you don't understand, I understand that thing, it's going to kill me - it's going to make me someone else. You don't understand..."
