After a moment, Dean and Nicotine came out of the passage.
There were two teams of Knights of Light on both sides of the passage. There were two teams of Knights of Light patrolling in the distance.
The two teams of Knights of Light were stunned when they saw Dudian and Dudian coming out of the passage. But then they were pleasantly surprised. The middle-aged knight who had talked to Dean before came over: "Architect Dean, you finally came out. We were almost scared to death."
Dean was surprised and immediately thought of the reason, but still asked: "Why?"
The middle-aged knight replied: "There was a commotion outside not long after you came in. It must be the giant monster that was active outside the giant wall. Fortunately you didn't meet it at that time or we would have suffered a big crime."
Dean smiled: "We were far away at that time. I heard the commotion too. Fortunately we were fast enough or we would have to sneak back through the passage."
"Yes …" The middle-aged knight had a look of lingering fear. If Dean had died outside the giant wall then the Temple would have punished him. Even if it wasn't a heavy punishment it would affect his career prospects. His competitors would attack him.
Dean said: "It's getting late. We have to go back. I'll trouble you to arrange it."
"Yes!" The middle-aged knight was very polite. He waved to a young knight: "Send a message."
The young knight immediately took out a whistle and blew it. From time to time a black crow would come and bring the message to the guard.
While waiting, the middle-aged knight chatted with Dean. If he could climb up Dean's tree, his status in the Temple would undoubtedly improve a lot. He might even be promoted again.
Dean naturally didn't give up this opportunity. In the process of chatting, he learned the name of the middle-aged knight. Charlemagne was a member of the Charles family. The Charles family was a small aristocratic family that belonged to the Huasheng consortium. Charlemagne should be the most promising member of the Charles family. The prosperity of the entire family was on his shoulders.
Because of his identity as the captain of the Temple's knights, the Charles family had gone from decline to prosperity. Although they were still in the bottom of the aristocratic circle but they were much stronger than most of the lower level aristocrats. Many aristocrats didn't dare to look down on Charles family because of his identity. The number of rich businessmen coming in and out of the Charles family was dozens of times higher than before.
"The people from the guard have come. Let's talk later." Dean smiled at Charman as he saw the prison carriage coming.
Charman was happy to see that Dean didn't have the slightest arrogance. The whole process of the conversation was relatively smooth for him. This was undoubtedly a good foundation for him. As long as he was careful in the future he would be able to shorten the distance between him and Dean. If he could attend some parties with Dean then people would know that he had some relationship with Dean. His future would be more smooth and brilliant.
"Well, architect Dean, do you need me to accompany you?" Charman asked in an affectionate manner.
Dean smiled as he knew that the other party was a bit impatient. But he wouldn't let the relationship between them get too close. At present the other party would get the benefits if the relationship between them was too close. So he had to create some difficulties for the other party so that they would know how to cherish and revere each other. He said: "You have to stay here. I'm sorry if I delay your work."
Charlemagne replied: "There won't be a big problem as long as they are on duty here. After all, this is a radiation zone. There are mutated beasts here. If you are disturbed it will be a huge loss for the entire 'Temple of Elements' and the people inside the giant wall …"
Dean shook his head: "It's almost night time. The monsters outside the giant wall will come out. It's easy to get into an accident. It's safe to have you here. The knights will protect me. Moreover I have the hunter to accompany me. It'll be easy to deal with the mutated beasts."
Nicholas was a shrewd man. He could see at a glance that Dean and the middle-aged knight were calculating. He felt that the youth was a cunning old fox. Nicholas was afraid of him. He immediately said: "Don't worry. I'll protect architect Dean. I won't let the beasts disturb him."
The middle-aged knight didn't insist anymore. He knew that the status of the middle-aged knight would drop. He said: "Architect Dean, be careful on the road."
Dudian nodded and said goodbye to him. He and Nicholas got into the car and went to the Guardian's office.
After a moment, the two arrived in front of the temple.
Dean followed the Knights of Light into the prison cell. He said to the leader of the Knights of Light: "I'm an architect of the 'Temple of Elements'. This is my identity token. Please help me inform the leader of the temple that Dean is here to see me."
The knight of Light was surprised when he heard the first half of Dean's words. But when he heard Dean's name he was stunned: "Are you the architect who created the 'military crossbow'?"
Dean nodded.
The leader of the knights took Dean's medal. He saw the word 'Dean' on it. He knew that Dean wasn't lying. He humbly said: "I didn't expect you to be architect Dean. I didn't know you before. I'll inform you." Then he quickly turned and left.
Nicholas was already used to the knight's awe. He turned his head and looked at the surrounding cages. He curiously asked: "Is this the place? I heard that hunters have to stay here for seven days before they can go back."
"Yeah." Dean nodded: "I'm bored. Take a look at the books on the table to purify your mind."
Nicholas looked down and saw the Holy Scripture of Light, but he didn't take it. He curled his lips and said: "I don't know how many times I've heard the prison guards recite it. If they wanted to purify it, they would have done it long ago. The God of Light can only save people who live under the sun. How can he save people like us who live in darkness and abyss?"
Dean glanced at him: "Don't add the word 'us'. I'm not targeting you. I've already said that I'm different from garbage like you."
Nicotine smiled as he heard Dean's blunt words: "You are an architect. Naturally you are different from ordinary people like us."
Dean chuckled. He didn't explain anything as he sat on the bed and waited.
After a moment, the leader of the knights pushed open the door of the underground cell. He was followed by a handsome middle-aged man. The beard on his face was very clean. His skin was incomparably white and his eyes were bright. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a young man in his twenties. But the mature taste on his face betrayed his age.
The handsome middle-aged man was followed by two Knights of Light. Their temperament was deep and restrained. Their eyes were sharp.
"Are you architect Dean?" The handsome middle-aged man came to the front of the cell. He was surprised to see Dean. He didn't expect that the youth who had been frequently reported in recent times would be younger than he had imagined.
Dean smiled: "I am. Can we talk in private?"
The middle-aged man stared at Dean for a moment. He waved his hand to signal the people around to leave.
He smiled as all the Knights of Light left the cell: "Architect Dean, this is the first time we meet. What do you want to say?"
Dean smiled: "In addition to admiring you, my biggest purpose is to ask you for help."
"Help?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up: "Do you want me to cover up the fact that you are out of the giant wall?"
"There is nothing to cover up." Dean shook his head: "I want you to release me after the inspection and allow me to return to the city."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to help, but this matter …"
"I'll do you a favor, how about it?" Dean interrupted him and said directly.
The middle-aged man was startled. He was a member of the Holy Church so he naturally paid more attention to the matters of the 'Temple of Elements'. He knew about Dean's recent deeds. In fact, most of the people who weren't members of the Holy Church had heard of Dean's deeds. After all, every time a new invention came out it would cause a great sensation and people couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"This …" The middle-aged man was in a dilemma. Favor was a big thing but it was also a small thing.
Dean saw that the middle-aged man didn't trust him: "I don't know which consortium is behind the director. I haven't sold the lightning rod that I made last time. If it is convenient for you …"
