Chapter 1049 The last birthday

Day 50…

It has been almost two months since the first encounter with Xiao Heitan. Counting the time, it should be the day agreed with Kane and Old Man Farah, which means they have to make another trip to check the

What's going on with the Pain Worm?

Well, what? When did we make the appointment?! Of course it was the first time they came here. They forgot to mention it to Jeluka at that time, haha...

As a result, I accidentally mentioned this matter to her today, and the result... After eating Morgan cakes and cold water for a day, if it weren't for our adventurer's constitution, I would have diarrhea. She is really a devil's maid. This guy, at the age of an uncle in his early thirties,

Occasionally forgetting something is allowed by the party, society and the masses, isn't it?

Speaking of which, I looked in the mirror recently and found that my appearance is no different from when I first came to the Dark Continent. If there is any difference, it is that my temperament and eyes have changed so much. When I raise my cloak, I have a unique look.

With the momentum of a master, the tiger's body trembled, the elder's majesty was invincible, and with a big step, the aura of the quasi-tragedy emperor shone in all directions...

Sorry, I lied, except for the last one.

All in all, I don’t know whether it’s because I changed my job and became an adventurer, or I was infected by a virus called Dark Bacteria (tentative name) the moment I came to Darkness, but in terms of appearance changes, I am becoming more and more like a

Dark humans.

In this way, people in their early thirties are allowed to be titled as teenagers. Many people my age have just transferred from the training camp to become new *** adventurers.

No, no, no, let’s take another fifty steps back and see. If it were placed in the elves, maybe it’s not too much to be called a shota. Don’t forget that we are the princes of the elves. As for Jielu

Ka? She? Huh, please allow me to give her the title of ***, although in terms of figure, appearance, temperament and charm, she is completely out of this category.

Therefore, if there is a legendary story about me coming to Darkness for more than ten or twenty years in the future, I will definitely ask those scholars to put "xxxx of Young Elder Wu Fan" in front of the title of the book. If the other party is an elf,

Maybe even using a book title like "Prince Shota Wu Fan's xxxx" is necessary, respecting history and respecting age, huh!

Having said that, why do I care so much about age today? Could it be that the day's portion of Morgan cakes + cold water from that sleazy maid yesterday damaged my brain?

How is it possible, bastard, is my brain that fragile? Haven’t you ever heard of the saying that fools are not afraid of having their heads smashed?! Doesn’t this mean that my brain is particularly strong and durable?!!

After taking a few angry breaths, I finally remembered the reason why I woke up very early this morning and entered the age mode discussion very enthusiastically.

Because, in two days it will be Xiao Heitan's birthday.

Although I say this, in fact, dark people don’t pay as much attention to birthdays as they think, so that most people don’t even know when their birthday is. Of course, Xiao Heitan does the same, so this birthday is actually between me and

Jeluka ordered it for her.

As a human being, you have to take the initiative to find some fun to live happily (although Jeluka is criticized as an optimistic fool's outlook on life), and birthdays are the best reason.

So I decided that although I still had to wait two days, I could start celebrating from today. However, I was told by Jeluka that I was idle and was really a verbose maid. Aren't I the same as when I got up?

Today the goal of the three of them is the great temple of the Demon Fortress. Having said that, the temple tower standing in the center can be seen as long as you stand within the scope of the Demon Fortress, but you can really get up close and admire it.

There are not many people.

Adventurers don’t care. Is there a monster in the tower? Is it the kind of tower in the black wilderness of Camp Rogge? Is there a monster like the Countess that I can tease? Nothing? None?! That one has a nice hair!

Why not go to the bar and have a glass of cold ale.

As for civilians, it's not that the temple does not allow civilians to enter, it's just that the main teleportation array of the Demon Fortress is set up in the square outside the temple, and the square there is also one of the adventurer trading markets.

Speaking of the demon fortress in the first world, I set up a stall in the Temple Square. After this incident is resolved, will I set up a stall here again? In the past six months, I have also purchased a lot in the second world.

Expansion-level equipment, either I don't like, or I can't use it, so I just take this opportunity to buy it, maybe in exchange for some diamonds. There is also a stupid ghost at home who can eat up a small country alive. Mingming eats it.

I bought so many diamonds, and I don’t ask for forgiveness from the goddess of dawn, but I can’t even cast a diamond star. What the saint did is so useless, I might as well exchange it for a girly version of ice [beep]

Or the card [beep] is ready.

"..."

I can't write this idea down in my notes, otherwise I'm in danger of having my head bitten off alive.

Ahem, where did you just say that? Yes, it is setting up stalls. Because of this, the entire temple square is almost exclusively owned by adventurers. Ordinary civilians dare to go there. If you accidentally break your arm or thigh, who can you call?

Pay medical bills?

But today, the Grand Temple welcomed three special guests. At first glance, it was obvious that they were a family of commoners who had come to see the world. Moreover, their parents' appearance was too long to hinder the environment. This made them even more intrusive into the two people.

In the middle, there is a thin and cute little girl wearing a plain old blue dress, especially the long mercury hair. Even the adventurers who have long been accustomed to most things are looking at her sideways.

Under the strange gaze of the mage who was responsible for guarding the outer door of the temple, I pulled Xiao Heitan to a side corridor that was not very eye-catching.

After going back, let the two mages go to the River of Fire Teleportation Station to guard it for a month, just in time to let these stupid humans who are blind and blind see the authority of the alliance elders, hum.

From this unknown and remote corridor, you can bypass the most dangerous square and enter the temple. This is the best route that Jeluka found after sneaking around for an hour last night.

Because she was angry that I didn't tell her about Kane and Pharah, she was also so angry that she deliberately didn't tell me where I was going to visit. Thanks to this, I couldn't communicate with the alliance first, and Jeluka was almost regarded as...

There are people who are suspicious of the temple with evil intentions. To be honest, I don’t want to go to jail to pick people up. It’s enough to have Princess Sanwu as a warning.

I always feel that the word "drawing lessons from the past" has appeared many times recently. Is it my misunderstanding?

"Woo~~"

Just as he was about to step forward, the little Heitan being led let out a timid cry.

Looking back, I saw her looking at the floor hesitantly, unable to step forward no matter what.

After being stunned for a moment, I immediately thought of the reason.

Even the floor of this long corridor is too luxurious for Xiao Heitan, who has always lived in the poor class and has only dealt with mines and coal mines. Those who are so luxurious don't even dare to step on it.

Although it is not paved with the most exquisite and smooth marble, it is a rare hard, white and flat polished stone with exquisite patterns carved on it. On the side walls, various angel reliefs are lifelike.

If the entire Demon Fortress is the artistic crystallization of human craftsmen and dwarf craftsmen, then the temple located in the center of the Demon Fortress is the crystal within the crystal. Even the extremely small and inconspicuous places are made with great detail. No wonder

Xiao Heitan will be intimidated.

"Hey~~"

In this case, I put Xiao Heitan on my back and started walking with her.

Along the way, the little Heitan looked around on my back, exclaiming from time to time, as if his eyes were not seeing enough.

"Here we are, right here."

After turning left and right, the three of us arrived at a deserted church after a while. Judging from the location, this should be a side hall.

Many people think that the main hall of the temple is the largest church in the main cloisters that pass through the square. Indeed, there are six magnificent angel relief stone pillars in front of the door, as well as the magnificent layout and solemn and holy atmosphere inside.

, even extending to the tallest tower of the demon fortress will give people preconceived notions.

However, I can tell you quietly that the real temple of the Demon Fortress, the real church where angels descend, is actually in the Mages Guild. As for why I know this, isn’t this nonsense? The last time I saw the Fifth Master, it was there.

!!

Looking at the tall cross surrounded by angels in the center of the church, Xiao Heitan knelt down humbly and devoutly, murmuring something in prayer with his lips.

Jeluka and I eavesdropped, but were disappointed. If we could have listened to Xiao Heitan's prayers, we might have been able to find a route to the ending. It seemed that Xiao Heitan didn't give us any chance.

In just a moment, Xiao Heitan stood up. To our surprise, she looked worried at times. Even if she prayed all day long, it might be possible. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, she stood up.

That’s it.

"Mom, dad...don't you pray?" Xiao Heitan glanced at me and Jeluka who were bored, and asked in a low voice.

"I...I'll forget it. I have nothing to pray for. As long as Xiao Heitan can be healthy, there are no other requirements."

I smiled sheepishly, but secretly murmured to myself, we have even seen the fifth master, why should we pray to those angels?

"Xiao Heitan, is this really enough for just a moment? You usually look like you have something on your mind, so why not take this opportunity to tell it to Lord Angel?"

I squatted down, carefully caressed Xiao Heitan's face, and asked with a smile.

"I……"

Xiao Heitan's expression froze for an instant, then lowered his head.

"For people like...like me, there is nothing...nothing to pray for or redeem. As long as my parents are good, that's all."

"..."

Alas, isn't this just like what I said just now? How come Xiao Heitan, at such a young age, can speak like a decadent middle-aged man who is over 150 years old?

I'm troubled, Xiao Heitan's seemingly ordinary words, could there be any important flag hidden there? God, please give me the brain of a strategy god.

Of course, God would not care about me. After paying homage to him, Jeluka and I could only take Xiao Heitan and go home dejectedly. This trip to the temple was ostensibly to take Xiao Heitan to the temple.

I went shopping, but the real purpose was to use the opportunity of prayer to inquire into Xiao Heitan’s heart. As I saw, I found nothing and came back in vain.

Two days later, Kane and Old Man Farah finally arrived at the Demon Fortress after a long journey.

"Grandpa Kane, are you okay?"

Seeing that Kane's face was a little pale, thinking that he had been tortured by the World Stone teleportation array, I quickly stepped forward and became concerned.

"It's okay, it's okay, my body is still fine."

Kane shook his white beard, gave a gentle smile, and slammed the crutch in his hand to the ground. He forgot that he was a man who could compete with old man Farah with his three-knuckle kung fu, and his body was not only good.

"Me, me, I came all the way to help you."

Being treated coldly again, Old Man Farah twisted his lips, unhappy.

"You?" I glanced at him sideways from the corner of my eyes.
