Basis sentiment

  Tasia looked at Du Fan's expression, and her doubts grew even more. However, seeing Du Fan's serious face, she didn't dare say anything else. She could only imitate Du Fan's actions, secretly poking her head out to take a peek.

  In the quiet depths of the ancient city, a faint breeze blew in from afar, and at this moment, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.

  A hurried gasping sound came from afar, as if someone was desperately avoiding something.

  Du Fan's ears suddenly jumped, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "It's here!"

  Tasia nodded slightly, and at this moment the sound was getting closer and closer, even a deaf person could almost hear it. Du Fan suddenly said so, but it's inevitable that there's a bit of an odd tone in it.

  Years of glory poured down from the bottom of the cave into the ancient city, but the old warehouse where Du Fan and Tasia were located was extremely dark all around due to being sealed off.

  But suddenly, the panting sound stopped, a dull and mournful cry came out, followed by a loud crash, something was smashed down from the top of the warehouse, and the inside of the warehouse lit up instantly.

  Tasia had barely gotten used to the brightness, but when she saw what was in front of her, she almost cried out.

  Fortunately, Du Fan had long been prepared and saw Tassia's movement, his right hand covered it up.

  Tasia's face was filled with astonishment, and after a moment, she finally calmed down, looking at the corpse that had smashed through the warehouse roof, but for a while, she couldn't say anything.

  She turned around and glanced at Du Fan, only to see his eyes fixed on the corpse, a moment later, a cold laugh escaped.

  The corpse that had been smashed in from outside was already long dead, although the state of death was unbearable, but Du Fan and Tasia both recognized his identity at a glance - it was one of the four surviving Temple Knights.

  Tasia finally calmed down, pointing at the corpse and whispering: "How did he end up here? Is that really Orudas?"

  Du Fan let out a cold laugh, his smile filled with all sorts of flavors. Many things that he had never thought to understand suddenly became clear to him. He glanced at Tasia and said calmly: "Aldras? Aldras probably can't come here right now, but as for whose words these are, I think you'll find out soon enough. However, Miss Tasia, please don't make a sound later on, or else when that Temple Knight comes down, it will absolutely be our end."

  Tasia suddenly felt a strange and unparalleled feeling in her heart, and under Du Fan's seemingly all-seeing eyes, she nodded slightly, as if she had guessed something.

  Just then, two more figures slipped in through a gap at the top of the warehouse.

  Tasia glanced over and was stunned, almost falling down.

  Du Fan hastily held onto her and whispered in her ear: "Just watch, don't say anything, don't do anything. Just watching is fine."

  One of the two men who suddenly appeared, a relatively tall one, walked to the side of the corpse and took a look, then turned his head and smiled: "It seems that this guy is dead for sure, only one left, as long as we solve him, our plan this time will be foolproof."

  As he spoke, the light just happened to find its way onto his body. Who else could it be but Alfred?

  Although Du Fan had already vaguely guessed a few points before, at this moment he confirmed the identities of the two people, and his heart couldn't help but let out another sigh.

  He looked down at Tasia, who was completely stunned. She could probably guess what had happened in this situation, but perhaps deep down she didn't want to believe it.

  Nicholas nodded slightly, and after glancing around the warehouse, he walked up to the corpse. With a slight wave of his hand, a holy flame burst into fierce combustion, and in an instant, the bloodied and mutilated body was reduced to ashes.

  Nicholas clasped his hands together on his chest and prayed for a moment before saying, "Child, may you return to the Lord's embrace."

  Alfred saw Nicholas's action, his eyebrows jumped and said: "Nicholas, I've told you how many times, these people are dead, what does it have to do with you? Why waste your own divine power? You know, if we can't complete the task this time, then everything is over."

  Nicholas shook his head, suddenly let out a bitter laugh and said: "These children all believe in us but we betrayed them, betrayed our faith. If we can't even do this one thing for them, I won't be able to sleep soundly."

  As he spoke, Nicholas's face showed a few sad colors, and his tone was as pitiful as that of the young woman next door.

  Alfred looked at him, a rare expression of sympathy on his face. He stretched out both hands and wrapped them around Nicholas' waist, saying softly: "Dear Nick, I know you're tired but this is also an unavoidable thing, isn't it? Since our affair was discovered by that group of bastards from Roland Academy, how many things have we been forced to do? If we didn't do them, would there be a good outcome? One wrong step leads to another."

  Nicholas turned his head and glanced at Alfred, with a hint of passion in his eyes. He let out a faint sigh, then suddenly tiptoed and planted a clean kiss on Alfred's cheek: "Let's spare Ferre for today, I'm really tired. It's not difficult to kill him anyway, so let's just let him live one more day and take action tomorrow?"

  Alfred hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, so you wait here for a while, I'll go find something to bring in, so we can spend the night here tonight."

  Nicholas nodded gently and kissed Alfred's forehead, saying "You come back early"

  At this time, Saint Nicholas didn't have a bit of the appearance of a saint, he was weak and feeble like a woman, only lacking holding a child to breastfeed.

  Alfred was kissed by him, but he had a happy face. He "pa" -ed and kissed Nicholas's neck, then said in a low voice: "I'll be right back."

  After that, the two of them gazed at each other reluctantly for a moment before Alfred finally quickly left from the gap on top of the warehouse.

  Nicholas gazed at his departing figure, stretched out his hand to caress the neck that had been kissed, and suddenly let out a long sigh, as if he were a piece of petrified wood.

  Du Fan and Tasia were both stunned, if they had seen Nicholas and Alfred chasing the Templar before, it would have shocked them greatly, but what happened next was simply unacceptable.

  Du Fan was a bit better off, in his previous life's world, this kind of culture was still popular in some countries, so he wasn't scared silly, but when he thought back to the first time he saw Nicholas, that face of a little "recipient" (uke), he couldn't help but think to himself: This guy is indeed a bottom! Ah, this is truly overflowing with BL (boys' love) feelings!

  But Tasia was beyond consolation, although some of the nobles in the Imperial City might have indulged in such things in private, how could she have ever imagined it? Moreover, this had happened to Saint Nicholas and Alfred, the shock it brought her was simply indescribable, she was as if petrified, unable to even call out.

  If it weren't for Du Fan supporting her, she would have probably fallen down many times already.

  Nicholas gazed deeply at the spot where Alfred had disappeared for a moment, then finally withdrew his gaze and sat down somewhere randomly. However, he couldn't help but look up at the top of his head. His line of sight was blurred, and he didn't know what he was looking at, but after a long time, he let out a deep sigh and said: "Life is indeed as desolate as snow, Alfred...Alfred, can't you understand my heart? What I want is just to be with you, not like this..."

  It was as if a long time had passed, but the light that shone in from outside seemed to have dimmed slightly, just like the changes of day and night outside this cave.

  When Alfred's figure reappeared, he had several bundles of rotten firewood in his hands.

  He saw Nicholas's appearance and hurriedly threw away the things in his hand and went to support him, saying: "Ni, what's wrong with you?"

  Nicholas slightly shook his head and said, "Forget it, you'd better go prepare, I'm tired too, want to rest."

  Although Alfred didn't know why his beloved Ni had suddenly become like this, he quickly gathered the firewood on the ground and with a flick of his wrist, conjured up a small, faint flame.

  After doing all that, Alfred walked over to Nicholas and sat down beside him, then directly hugged Nicholas and leaned in slightly as if wanting to kiss him.

  But Nicholas suddenly turned sideways and said: "Debts"

  Alfred was taken aback for a moment, but instead of forcing Nicholas, he spoke softly: "Nick, what's wrong with you today?"
