Lolo wandered aimlessly on the street for a while. She was envious when she saw a father taking his daughter for a walk on the coast or feeding the seagulls with bread crumbs at the dock.
It had been a month and a half since she left the town. Lolo was alone again. She carried her backpack and traveled alone. Every day, she would travel and eat alone. Sometimes, she would stay in a small hotel near the town. Sometimes, she would stay at a farmer's house. Sometimes, she would camp alone in the wilderness when she was far from the surrounding towns and villages.
Lolo picked up some dry branches around her and made a bonfire. She set up her small pot and cooked a pot of porridge. Then, she broke the bread she brought with her and ate the porridge quietly. Small animals in the bushes not far away looked at her curiously.
When she slept at night, Lolo would rest her sword under her head and look at the stars in the sky. She remembered what her father once said. Everyone who died did not actually leave us. They just turned into stars in the sky and silently watched their loved ones in the distant night sky.
Every time Lolo thought of this, she would feel strength in her body again. The stars would also blink in the night as if they were responding to her gently.
Unfortunately, the weather had not been very good in recent days. It drizzled intermittently. Lolo had not seen the stars for several days in a row. The sky only began to clear up when she arrived at the Port of Sethea.
After walking on the street for a while, Lolo felt a little hungry, so she decided to find a restaurant for dinner.
However, she had only taken a few steps when she saw a sneaky masked man waving at her in a small alley not far away.
Luo Luo looked around and realized that no one else seemed to have noticed that guy. So, she pointed at her own nose.
The other party nodded and waved at her again. Luo Luo felt that it was a little strange. The alley was a little remote, and the masked man looked very suspicious. However, this place was very close to the church and the Paladin Institution. No one would choose to rob here unless they were stupid.
Lolo hesitated for a moment, but she still decided to go and take a look. After all, there was no personal danger. Moreover, she was also an adventurer. If the other party really had bad intentions, Lolo didn't mind teaching him a lesson.
The other most important reason was that the girl had always had a fantasy in her heart. Her father had brought her to Sethevia Port. Apart from the owner of the Horseshoe Inn, could there be other old friends of her father here?
The masked man looked to be in his thirties or forties. When the incident happened, he was in his twenties, so it was entirely possible.
In fact, the first thing the latter said when he saw her was, "Child, you are in big trouble."
"Hmm?" Lolo didn't know what kind of trouble he was talking about.
The masked man had a serious look on his face. "Don't you know? You've already been targeted by those guys from the Temple. "
As if to prove the credibility of his words, the masked man deliberately lifted the black cloth on his face and revealed his true face. Unfortunately, his face was a little unconvincing.
Not only did he look shifty-eyed, but he was also missing half of his front teeth. No wonder his voice sounded a little strange. It turned out that he was running his mouth.
The girl wasn't surprised when she heard the news. She knew that this day would come sooner or later.
When she was a child, she naively had a good impression of the smiling clergymen at the entrance of the church. It was not until she learned what happened to her mother that she felt a chill in her bones when she saw those people's smiles again.
Based on the way those people acted, they would do anything to cover up the truth. The fire at the Horseshoe Inn a few years ago proved this. She still remembered that not long after her father passed away, the Temple had specially sent someone to check on him. The church's knights had sealed off the small hill, and no one was allowed to go near it for several months.
Later, someone came to see her. It was an old knight with dry skin. Unlike the other holy knights, he didn't have a trace of holy aura on him. Although he always had a smile on his face, his eyes were always cold.
Lolo had a deep impression of those eyes. It was the first time she saw someone with such eyes. There was not a trace of warmth in those eyes, as if they were indifferent to everything in the world.
The old knight looked at her quietly. After a while, he slowly said, "What did you see that day?"
The girl lowered her head and clenched her teeth, not saying a word.
The old knight was not in a hurry. He looked at the hill not far away and put away the smile on his face. "It's a good thing that you don't like to talk. Quiet children tend to live longer. I hate those talkative guys the most. They're noisy all day long. I have no choice but to shut them up in my own way."
After a pause, he continued, "When you grow up a little, you'll understand that some things are better forgotten. I know what you're thinking. It's impossible. What can you do if you can't forget it for the rest of your life, like your father? You'll just lose your life for nothing. "
After saying that, the old knight looked away from the girl and said to the bishop behind him, "Keep it. If there's any problem in the future, I'll send someone to deal with it."
The bishop nodded respectfully. "I'll listen to you. You're the absolute authority of the Church in this regard. Before I left, His Highness the Pope specifically told me that the follow-up work will be based on your opinion."
The old knight shook his head. "Who said I'm the authority? I'm just an old dog that's lived for a long time." After saying that, he left the castle.
For the next two years, the Temple appeared to be very calm.
Of course, this was because the girl also appeared to be very calm. However, no one knew that under Lolo's calm appearance, there was a hidden flame. She was quietly waiting for an opportunity.
Until half a year ago, the girl finally found an opportunity to slip out from under the nose of the Church. From then on, she was mentally prepared to be hunted down by the Temple.
However, when the masked man saw her calm reaction, he was a little surprised. He scratched his head and asked a somewhat silly question. "Aren't you afraid?"
"I am." Lolo's answer was very sincere. Just when the masked man was about to say something, he saw a holy knight coming from outside the alley. He politely bowed to the two of them.
"Good afternoon, both of you. Excuse me, have you seen an outsider? A male adventurer. He's thin and has a handsome face. We just received news that he might be a dangerous person. Oh yes, he has an Elven Artifact on his waist … Eh! It's you!!! "
Halfway through his words, his eyes coincidentally turned to the rookie, The Brave. The holy knight's expression changed instantly. When he realized that the target was right in front of him, he instinctively pulled out his saber from his waist.
Lolo's heart sank. However, before she could do anything, the masked man beside her had already made a move. He struck the holy knight's neck artery with his palm.
