[Start side mission·Dayline]

…

The night is dark.

The rows of bungalows slept quietly in the dark night. The blond knight walked through the silent night and walked to a small boat docked by the river.

On the small boat, an oil lamp hung outside the cabin. The surroundings seemed very quiet. An old lady wearing a fisherman's hat was sitting in the cabin.

Xie Lude got on the boat silently, followed closely by Su Mingan. He looked inside and met the old lady's somewhat cloudy gaze.

"...Young man?" The old lady was stunned, as if she didn't expect to see him at this time.

Su Mingan took out the photo from her backpack and stuffed it into her hand.

"I regret it." He said: "You should deliver this thing yourself during the day tomorrow."

The old lady had a photo forced into her hand. She was stunned for a moment, then took his hand and forced the photo to him.

Su Mingan stood up directly, avoided her, and walked to the front of the ship.

Boats floated in the river, and slight sounds of fighting sounded on both sides of the river.

In the darkness of night, the moonlight is reflected on the lake, and the boats break through the moonlight, like cutting through the milky white lotus.

Sherrod was rowing quietly, his sword lying on the edge of the boat, and the moonlight was gilded with a soft silver edge.

"Xie Lude." Su Mingan's voice came from behind: "Explain why a commoner from Garder would go out at night, and why did you deliberately shunt me away?"

Xie Lude remained silent.

The sound of water flowed loudly. He shook the oar in his hand and looked straight ahead.

"Don't answer? Then let me tell you." Su Mingan sat down next to him: "...You have to send her away secretly at night and let her leave Praia."

Sherrod was slightly stunned.

He subconsciously looked at Su Ming'an.

"You originally wanted to take Garde away secretly this afternoon, but you didn't expect that I had been chatting with her and you couldn't find the chance." Su Mingan said: "So, you thought of a way, you invited me to go

Barbecue restaurant, create opportunities for her to board the ship. Then persuade me to go back to sleep at night so that you can successfully board the ship.

It's just that you didn't expect one thing. You may have been a back-up, but you didn't expect that her granddaughter Lele would be so anxious that she would rather come to my house, an outsider, and ask me to save people. You know

This matter can no longer be hidden from me, so you decided to bring me along with you, wanting me to be your 'accomplice' to prevent me from going directly to the soul hunter to inquire and expose your plan."

Facing his words, Xie Lude showed a wry smile.

"You can't hide it from the captain." He said softly.

He sat slightly to the left, avoiding Su Ming'an's sight.

The moonlight shines on the quiet river surface, and the water surface seems to be connected to the sky.

"Wow!"

The boat sailed on the river, as if flowing in a long silver river.

In the silent night, Sherlude, who was covered with moonlight, spoke softly:

"...Captain." He said, "Are you willing to be my accomplice?"

"Before this, I was guessing why you wanted to send Garder away." Su Mingan: "Because Garder is the child of the Soul Clan and humans, and the Soul Hunters can't tolerate her at last, right?"

He has already thought of the reason why there is no soul clan smell on Thirteenth Street, but there is a soul clan presence.

...Because Garder is just like him.

They are all the children of the soul race and humans who only have the smell of humans on their bodies.

Therefore, she belongs to the soul clan, but does not have the scent of the soul clan, and the detection stone will not detect her.

Sherrod was silent for a moment.

"No." He finally said.

"...No?" Su Mingan didn't expect that he guessed wrong.

"arrive."

At this time, the boat suddenly stopped.

Su Mingan looked up and saw a river mouth in front of him.

The surrounding streets are deserted, and this seems to be an abandoned port.

Sherrod jumped off the boat and helped the old lady get off the boat.

"Grandma Garder." Sherlude said to her: "Going straight along this street, there is a merchant ship that is planning to set off tomorrow morning. The destination of the merchant ship is the Heitel Empire, which is a small and wealthy country.

If you love the old and love the young, you will live a good life in the past."

He said, putting a ferry ticket into her hand.

The old lady held the ferry ticket tightly in her hand.

"Sherrod...thank you." She said softly.

"You saved me. If it weren't for you, I would have froze to death that winter. I deserve a reward." Sherlock said in a deep voice: "Get on the boat and leave here. Since the Soul Hunters have decided to release the second

After this cleaning mission... I won’t let you go, and leaving is the only way out.”

The old lady stretched out her hand.

Following her slow movements, Sherrod leaned forward gently.

Her calloused, thin-skinned hands gently stroked Sherrod's golden hair with extremely gentle movements.

The moonlight shone on her hands, blending with the brilliant blond hair. Her hands gently touched her hair, and then moved to his forehead, as if stirring the mottled moonlight.

This is Praia's blessing.

"Sherrod, good young man." She rubbed her lips: "...You are the most competent Knight of Light I have ever seen."

She took back her hand, and the soft moonlight swayed in her eyes.

"Sincerely bless you." Sherrod kissed the back of her hand: "I wish you a safe journey."

After saying goodbye, the old lady turned around.

When she turned around, she glanced at Su Ming'an with a very complicated look, tracing his face carefully, as if she was missing something.

After that, she didn't say anything. She just clutched the boat ticket and the family photo, and walked tremblingly into the darkness of the street with the light luggage she brought down from the cabin.

Sherrod watched her walk into the street, watched her get on the merchant ship, and then turned back.

He turned back, got on the boat, and the boat began to row.

During the journey, Xie Lude said that due to the confidentiality agreement of Yunshang Church, he could not tell why Garder ran away, and he only asked Su Ming'an for forgiveness.

Xie Lude's trip was to take the initiative to go to Yunshang Church and accept punishment.

He let Garder go, so he has to be punished.

Su Mingan originally thought that he would be punished because he was caught doing something bad last week, but unexpectedly, it was this man who took the initiative to be punished.

"Captain, let me take you back first." Sherrod said.

"I'll go with you." Su Mingan responded.

He remembered that a fire broke out in the church that night, and he had to find out what happened.

He cannot miss any accident in the copy, and he must reduce the probability of mistakes to the lowest point.

In the movement of the water, the boat slowly arrived at the Yunshang Church.

The Church on the Cloud at night is completely different from the one during the day.

...It is an extremely beautiful and splendid church.

As if there is a bright star river connected with the sky, the entire church is bathed in holy light, and even the marble square in front is glowing with a layer of crystal white light.

Xie Lude took the initiative to enter. He said that outsiders could not enter Yunshang Church at night and asked Su Mingan to wait at the door.

It just so happened that Su Mingan didn't want to wander around in the church to avoid encountering the pope who was asking for help.

He waited at the door of a building similar to a side hall, waiting for the fire to light up at night.

He leaned against the wall and suddenly felt his eyelids twitching.

The rich night light can easily make people want to sleep.

He steeled himself and started watching the barrage.

The barrage is still the same as chatting around the world, and the latest topics seem to be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
