Finally accepting her feelings for Samuel frankly, Bai Duan couldn't help but feel more and more worried about him. He didn't want Samuel to take risks at all, but things didn't change according to his will.
A day later, Andre, the knight commander who set off with Samuel, sent news that the Holy Son Samuel suddenly disappeared inexplicably. For this reason, they had to change their original plan to return to the camp. Search and rescue, at the same time, he also transferred most of the knights in the camp to expand the search area, leaving only a few guard camps.
——After all, the disappearance of the Holy Son is definitely not a trivial matter. In the current decadent Holy See, only His Royal Highness the Holy Son is the only hope for the revival of the Holy Light.
When receiving this news, Bai Duan didn't know whether he should feel the dust settled or become more apprehensive. Without Samuel by his side, he is like a small animal whose owner suddenly disappeared, at a loss and helpless.
—Obviously, growing up alone in the dark street, he should be a tenacious and tenacious weed, accustomed to wind and rain and being alone. But since meeting Samuel and being taken care of by him in the greenhouse, Bai Duan can no longer leave his side, nor can she return to the days of being alone and carefree.
—This is probably Samuel's purpose, right
Bai Duan smiled wryly in his heart, but still couldn't restrain his feelings. Even though Samuel's tent was comfortable and safe, and even though he had left enough delicacies for Bai Duan to enjoy, Bai Duan still couldn't eat or sleep well, and even the knights who were not closely related to him found him. He often finds time to comfort him, but his relationship with Bai Duan has made a lot of progress because he is also worried about Samuel.
After spending more than ten days restlessly like this, the "good news" finally came. The knight commander Andre received the message from the Holy Son, and finally rushed over to find the seriously injured Holy Son, who is now on his way back to the camp. .
After receiving the news, the knight guarding the camp immediately notified Bai Duan. When Bai Duan rushed to the entrance of the camp, he happened to see Samuel carefully helped off his horse by Andre.
I haven't seen him for more than ten days. Samuel looks pale and haggard. Although the white leather armor on his body is filthy and the blond hair is no longer dazzling, it does not affect his holy and noble temperament at all. Satin, with a soft smile, seems to be the most graceful and warm icon.
Bai Duan's nose was slightly sore, she quickened her pace, and plunged into Samuel's arms, only to hear the other party groan softly.
Immediately thinking of what was said in the news that "His Royal Highness the Son is seriously injured", Bai Duan panicked, and was about to leave Samuel's embrace, but was hugged tightly by him.
Obviously, Samuel did not expect Bai Duan to be so enthusiastic, and he was completely flattered for a while. Although his chest hurts from being hit by the white satin, he is completely unwilling to let go of the benefits that "fall from the sky" this time. It was the first time that he embraced his beloved little attendant intimately in public and under the eyes of everyone, watching him obediently raise his head in his arms and stare at him.
However, soon, the turmoil in Samuel's heart was replaced by dissatisfaction. He looked carefully at Bai Duan's face, and couldn't help frowning: "What's going on? Why have you lost so much weight?"
—Bai Duan was so skinny when he brought him back from Heijie. He had just put on a little weight, but lost weight in just over ten days, which made Samuel feel distressed and dissatisfied.
Hearing Samuel's question, Bai Duan pursed his lips, and almost retorted, "How dare you criticize me with your ugly appearance?!" Fortunately, he barely remembered his obedient personality, turned his head aside and remained silent Instead of answering, the camp knight who had been with him and comforted him was afraid that His Royal Highness Shengzi would be displeased by Bai Duan's "little temper", so he quickly took a step forward and explained for him: "Servant Bai has been worried about His Highness's safety. I can’t fall asleep and I can’t help feeling a little haggard.”
Samuel naturally knew the reason, his dissatisfaction and annoyance were not so much directed at Bai Duan, but rather towards himself—he only wanted to complete his own plan, but ignored Bai Duan's feelings, causing He has had such a difficult time.
Sighing lightly, Samuel touched Bai Duan's hair. Although his heart was full of pity for Bai Duan and blame for himself, he still didn't forget to glance at the knight who had just spoken for Bai Duan, secretly Write down his appearance and name, and plan to isolate him from Bai Duan in the future, so as not to be accidentally poached.
— You know, the Templars do not prohibit love, marriage and childbirth, and they must be strictly guarded against!
Although he wanted to hold Bai Duan in his arms until the end of time, Samuel still couldn't go too far. After all, a temporary hug can be explained by emotional agitation, but holding it for too long will cause criticism.
Reluctantly let go of his hand, seeing Bai Duan quickly bowed his head and retreated to the side, Samuel stroked his chest, coughed lightly, and then calmed down a little bit after being dazzled by the "lover's enthusiasm", and remembered The "serious business" that I had just completely forgotten about.
His complexion changed suddenly, Samuel turned his head to look at Andre, and said hurriedly: "By the way, send someone to notify His Majesty the Pope quickly, the monsters have changed, I suspect they will attack the Holy See next!"
Hearing Samuel's words, Andre was also startled. Although the news came too abruptly, his instinctive trust in His Highness the Holy Son did not make him hesitate at all. Immediately, a knight galloped to the communication room to send a message to the Holy See with the help of a communication spell.
"His Royal Highness, this news...is it true?" After sending someone to spread the news, Andre turned around and asked Samuel to confirm that the Holy See has stood on the mainland for thousands of years, and no monster has ever dared to offend it. Dignity, Andre is really unwilling to believe this and admit that the Holy See has not fallen to such a point.
Samuel smiled wryly: "I don't hope this is true either." After a pause, his brows were slightly sad, "I believe you have also experienced the change of the holy light in your hands these days. — Even if we don’t want to admit it, the facts don’t allow us to delude ourselves.”
The knights fell silent, with mixed feelings in their hearts—since they came to the frontier, they could clearly feel that their holy light had become stronger and more dazzling, which meant that under the corruption of the extravagant life of the Holy See, their former beliefs were no longer what they used to be The purity and cleanliness of the people, and the Holy Light has gradually turned its back on them.
"Holy light and monsters are yin and yang poles of each other. The weaker one is, the stronger the other is. But even in the period when the holy light was most dazzling and powerful, the Holy See could not completely suppress the monsters. Now the holy light has been in decline for a long time, and We still have the upper hand in the confrontation with the monsters, don't you think it's a bit strange?" Samuel looked up at the sky with a heavy tone.
Andre and the knights looked solemn, speechless—they were already used to the collapse of monsters wherever they went, so they didn't think about the details at all.
"This time, I went deep into the back of the monsters, but I realized that they are not as weak as they appear on the surface. In fact, due to the decline of the Holy Light, they are much stronger, but they are dormant for a certain purpose. Us." Samuel sighed, "As for what their purpose is, one can imagine. At present, I have discovered their conspiracy, but it is also unfortunate to startle the enemy. The monsters will definitely not be willing to fight for a long time. I'm ready to go down the drain, so I will definitely take action—now, the Holy See is at a critical moment of power struggle, and my departure with you makes the defense weak, which just gives the monsters an opportunity—and once the Holy See falls... "
Samuel didn't finish what he said next, but everyone understood what he said.
Even though the prestige of the Holy See is not as good as before, it is still a holy place in the minds of believers. It is known as the most heavily guarded, the most inviolable fortress, and can never be conquered. In the past, the more you boasted, the more you established a strong and fearless image in the hearts of the people. If you were defeated by a monster, the blow to the people would be greater and more unbearable.
—Once the Holy See falls and the hearts of the people collapse, it will be even more difficult to rebuild it.
Soon, the knight in charge of the summons hurried back with a rather ugly expression on his face. Obviously, the Holy See, which has been arrogant for a long time because it has been suppressing monsters, does not pay much attention to the news they conveyed. More importantly, the people in the Holy See are scattered, the Pope is seriously ill and cannot control the overall situation, and the cardinals under him are even worse. Busy fighting for power and profit, leading the congregants under his command almost torn each other's skins, no one person can gather the strength of everyone to fight against the monster.
Knowing the current situation of the Holy See, Samuel's face was heavy, he was silent for a moment, and then made a decision: "Get ready immediately, we will rush back to the Holy See now!"
"His Royal Highness Son!" Andre looked at the pale-faced Samuel. Although he was also concerned about the situation of the Holy See, as the guard knight of the Son, he was even more worried about his master's body. "Your injury—"
"I'm fine." Samuel coughed lightly, and his unhealthy face became paler, but his expression became more determined, "My body is not as important as the safety of the Holy See in any case—even if Even if I give my life, I will never allow monsters to step into the Holy See!"
The bloody sunset at the border reflected the entire sky red, and cast a warm and ominous light on Samuel, making him seem like a persevering and unrepentant saint who endured suffering on behalf of all living beings. No matter how difficult the road ahead, he could not stop him His holy faith.
All the templars felt their eyes were sore, and their hearts were so heavy that they almost shed tears. They clenched their weapons tightly and began to pack up their luggage in an orderly manner. The whole team was led by Samuel with a solemn and solemn atmosphere. Another go-forward vibe.
——Monsters must be desperate to invade the Holy See, and what they face will definitely be a tough battle.
——But even if they are injured, even if they sacrifice death, they will never be lost, and they will never shrink back!
And Bai Duan also silently looked away, not daring to continue watching.
—He just felt that his dog eyes were about to be pierced blind by the holy father's light shot from Samuel's body! Thinking that all of this was arranged by Samuel, Bai Duan had nothing to complain about.
—I can only say that His Royal Highness is good at acting!
