Chapter 91 Gwen: Is that Isolde?!
Before Illaoi, the Baru people allowed outsiders to land in the pirate cities in the west, but completely ignored these creatures who were "slightly better than the undead".
And since Illaoi passed the trial of Naga Kabolos and became the True One, leading the Baru sect for so many years, she broke with tradition and planned to protect the people of Bilgewater, believing that there were people there who could pass the trial of the gods.
Become a devout believer.
The reason why Bilgewater was able to build a few Baaru temples was precisely due to Illaoi's efforts.
But the development of Bright Sentinel is completely opposite.
In the past few hundred years, due to the outbreak of the Ruined Curse and the martyrdom of 17 elders of the Shining Tower, the Sentinels of Light, dedicated to developing weapons that can fight the undead, have become the largest organization.
Back when there was still order in Bilgewater, Bright Sentinel strongholds could be seen everywhere in the city.
It's just that the essence of the Hylian system is completely based on "quality", and most Fuguang Island scholars have never delved into politics.
The bad roots of human nature are revealed, and Bilgewater falls apart in just a moment.
The Sentinels of Light removed almost all their strongholds, leaving only the main sanctuary in the mountains.
If it weren't for the fact that the Anaconda Islands were the place where the black mist invaded the most, and that Baru was closely connected to Fuguang Island and Vasani, they would have evacuated this hopeless city long ago.
On the contrary, Gwen has to use magic power to completely decompose the food residue she eats.
"There's still half a month left..."
Borut turned around and gave an explanation, then stepped forward and reached out his hand, pressing heavily on a slightly invisible raised position on the rock wall.
Most of the sentries who returned to the temple at this time were injured while resisting the black fog last night.
Due to the limited space in the temple, each bedroom here is far less spacious than the suites on Fuguang Island, and can only be regarded as standard single rooms.
"Grandmaster Josh Russell, welcome your return...Boss, she will be very happy."
Baru guard Borut took Josh out of the Gray Port and followed the path up from the middle area of the dock to the Baru Grottoes. The Sanctuary of Light is hidden in the mountains and blends with the Baru people.
Coupled with the consumption of magic, he was already hungry and his chest was touching his back.
[Huh? It seems that the little fox has changed a lot in the past thousand years.] Lunessia couldn't help but marveled.
"We are here, Grandmaster Russell."
As for the magic power consumed, it can be replenished after a short rest.
Even though all the internal organs in the body are complete, they are no different from the human body structure.
Gwen bit her lip and didn't answer. She walked past Josh, ran out of the house, and looked towards the corridor.
"I can discuss it with Levi, but before that..." Josh pointed to the bed, "You'd better rest first..."
Borut saw that the two of them were almost familiar with each other, so he took the initiative to say goodbye: "The Baru Temple still needs my help, so I will say goodbye first."
There are not many sentries in the Temple of Light on the first floor. There are only a few apprentices who look very young and are concentrating on studying the prayers engraved on the wall.
The structure of the Sentinel Sanctuary on the Mangxing Islands is not complicated, and there is a big gap between it and the Bright Sanctuary on Fuguang Island a thousand years ago.
"Don't worry, you are the boss's lover. As the host of the Mangxing Islands Branch, I will definitely entertain you well!"
Part of Gwen's character was inherited from her master Isolde. After she became a human being, if there was no threat from Foego, she would most likely inherit Isolde's mantle and become an excellent tailor.
Levi's eyes focused on Josh, his tone contained a sense of respect, and he bowed and saluted.
Moreover, he has not rested for a long time. The world rune fragments have no impact on his spirit, but they put a lot of pressure on his body.
An empty hall perfectly hidden within the rocks suddenly came into view of the three of them.
"Gwen? What's wrong with you?"
As a special "magical species", she does not need to eat and cannot obtain any energy from food.
When Borut took Josh and Gwen up the long spiral stone staircase in the center of the hall to the second floor, the deserted temple could finally feel the popularity... and the smell of blood.
Borut turned around, smiled, made a "please" gesture, and then led the way into the hall.
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
The stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor are usually locked by an iron door with double insurance of rune lock and machine lock. Only Levi and the logistics senior management responsible for management have the key.
In fact, Josh was in a state of time stasis during the time gap, and Josh did not eat anything for nearly two centuries.
When he saw the sumptuous seafood soup, grilled fish and fragrant toasted bread, Josh was not polite and immediately devoured the food. He had a delicious meal, as if he had never eaten in several lifetimes.
Later, Borut said to Levi: "As for this one..."
Josh and Gwen looked in the direction of the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a burly man wearing a sentinel robe walking towards him with a smile on his face.
The third floor is the area related to food and accommodation, where the sentinels live.
At the end of a narrow path, a rock wall suddenly rose up, blocking the way for the three of them.
"Levi, good brother! I have brought you a distinguished guest."
A pair of gray-white eyes were piercing and sparkling with perseverance, and his whole body exuded the toughness common among Baru people.
Since leaving the time gap, including the previous dinner time before the battle with Foego, Josh has not eaten for almost a day.
"I received a magical message from the Baru Temple last night."
"Now that Soul Soul Night has attacked again in advance, the boss will definitely take a fast boat. It should only take half a month to arrive."
The man was about two meters tall, with almost shaved brown-black hair, leaving only a small patch of hair on the top of his head and the long hair on the back of his head tied into a ponytail, connected to the thick beard on his cheeks.
There is only a single bed in the house, a wardrobe, a desk and chair, and storage boxes placed on the bed to store items.
After a quick and simple introduction, during breakfast, Levi led Josh and Gwen to the restaurant on the second floor.
The survivors in the city are still counting the casualties and property damage.
A thick and deep mature male voice floated from not far away, echoing in the empty hall: "Look who this is? What a rare visitor!"
Gwen looked back at Josh and blinked her shining eyes, "Can I borrow some fabric and needlework to make clothes?!"
Levi, who inherited the Baru bloodline, chose the Sentinel of Light, so he would naturally have more contact with people from other areas. He did not have the traditional xenophobic thinking of the Baru people, but was very familiar with him.
Subsequently, the breath of magic drove the operation of the machine gears, completely integrating with the rock wall, and the stone door, which was not visible at all from the outside, slowly unfolded to both sides.
Unlike the Baru people, the Temple of the Sentinels of Light incorporates many of the styles of Hylia's past.
Josh doesn't care about the living environment, as long as he can practice.
Extremely standard geometric symmetry patterns such as triangles and rhombuses are engraved all over the rock floor and walls, including the load-bearing columns. Everything is meticulous and perfect, which is in sharp contrast to the randomness, triviality and chaos of the Baru Temple in Rat Town.
There are five floors here. In addition to the first floor where you can learn theoretical knowledge and prayers, and the fifth floor where the sentinel leaders once lived and are now free, the remaining three floors are divided into small areas.
"Wow! Is this my room?"
"This is the first time I have my own room! I'm so happy!"
Since Josh had just returned to reality, he was not familiar with the operation of the Sentinel of Light, which had been developed for thousands of years, and could not help much.
Even before Kiran's tower became independent of the timeline, there were many sumptuous delicacies. The body didn't need it, and eating was just a waste of time.
Gwen is not a human being in the true sense. The rune magic, spiritual magic and Isolde's soul fragments were intertwined, resulting in an extremely wonderful magical reaction, and she gained freedom.
Hearing what Levi said, Josh suddenly had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
The fourth floor is more important. It is a warehouse for storing materials, holy stones and various magical artifacts that can deal with the black fog.
Before leaving, Levi specially arranged for a logistics sentry to prepare a rest room for Josh and Gwen.
After the meal, Levi left in a hurry as if he had received some bad news.
"You are too harsh. The boss is after you...forget it, I don't dare to say more about this. You'd better ask her directly when the time comes."
But for Gwen, just a room of this level made her extremely excited.
With the help of Naga Kapoulos, the Soul Eating Night that suddenly arrived early did not cause the expected losses.
Josh smiled bitterly, "It would be great if she didn't skin me."
However, this was Gwen's first real contact with human food, so she naturally had to taste it carefully.
…
Gwen happily ran into the room and sat on the bed, then stood up and opened the desk drawer, opened the storage box and checked, and finally opened the not-so-large wardrobe next to the wall.
Before Josh could say the word "rest", he saw Gwen's originally happy expression suddenly change, and her whole expression suddenly turned sad.
Borut also laughed loudly, patted the shoulder of the strong man Baru who had just walked over, and introduced to Josh:
"This is Levi, the head of the Python Islands branch of the Bright Sentinel. This guy is a veteran who has personally resisted the black mist more than ten times!"
"Just a moment please."
Watching Borut's figure disappear into the spiral staircase, Levi continued to say to Josh: "Grandmaster Russell, let me show you around and introduce this place to you!"
However, overall, the second floor mainly serves the functions of research, medical treatment, conferences and training, and is the main place for the activities of the sentinels.
…
As for bathrooms and toilets, you need to go to separate public areas for men and women.
She opened her arms and gestured to the empty closet, "I want to make lots of beautiful clothes to fill this closet... Of course, I can also make clothes for you and other people~~"
[There is a very faint familiar scent, I almost didn’t notice it.] Lunishia reminded, [It seems to have the same origin as the little doll.]
Levi thought for a moment, "The Sentinel headquarters is on the Haven Cliffs of Demacia, at least a month's sail from Bilgewater.
The tattoo on his right bald head has a white tentacle-like Baru mark, which is almost the same as the pattern on his thick arms, but the color is different from the ordinary Baru tattoo.
Josh raised his eyebrows slightly, walked out of the house and stood next to Gwen, looking along her line of sight.
There was no one else in the corridor, only the sentry men and women, one tall and one short, who had just passed by the door.
And Gwen's hesitant eyes were fixed on the young woman who looked a full generation younger than the man.
"Is that...Isulde?!"
