Chapter 460 An unexpected encounter
"Are you sure you're okay? Really?" Lucas' nose was sweating, but seeing that Lilith just tilted her head in confusion, as if trying to recall the feeling just now, he was so anxious that he kept confirming with her over and over again.
“No feeling.”
Lilith stood still for a long time trying to capture the subtle feeling just now, but failed. Due to the silence of the temple, Lucas' voice sounded noisy as soon as he raised it. Lilith saw many people in white robes secretly peeking at her under the cover of the dim sky, but that was not the worst.
Lilith turned her head and saw that in the corridor that was set up parallel to them across the courtyard, several Knights of Light had appeared there at some point in time. They had stopped and seemed to be looking in their direction.
Lilith's heart skipped a beat again, and she was a little worried that these people were the ones who had just been standing guard on the long steps. Compared to before, Lilith and her team were one person less now, and it would be troublesome if they were discovered, so she hurriedly pinched the startled Lucas to make him shut up.
"Don't turn your head." Lilith hurriedly whispered to Lucas who was about to turn in the direction she was looking, "Keep going, quick!"
She directly pulled Lucas up and continued to walk forward. Seeing this, the black-armored knight continued to lead the way. It happened that a long team came from the front and crossed with them, just blocking them from the knights of light, forming a human barrier. Lilith lowered her head to try to reduce her presence, and couldn't help but look at the team next to her. She couldn't take her eyes off.
——Because they were all young girls, almost every one of them was holding a hurricane lantern, their white skirts swaying with their footsteps, illuminated by the lanterns in their hands, just like daffodils under the lamps, looking so clean and beautiful, and the light reflected on their young and plump cheeks, Lilith could even see their fine eyelashes clearly.
This is simply the most beautiful scenery today...
Lilith secretly admired them and was curious whether these were the saints of the temple. But she didn't dare to ask at this moment. She didn't know whether the knights of light were still looking at them. Lucas wanted to turn around to look, but she pinched him again.
Compared to Lilith's uncontrollable curiosity, the girls in white robes had no interest in these strangers. They just kept their heads down and walked on. Some even put on their hats, revealing nothing.
"Tap, tap, tap--" It was the sound of iron boots stepping on the floor tiles, but it did not come from the black-armored knight in front of her. Lilith felt the arm muscles of Lucas tense up, and she expected that she would not be much better.
The black-armored knight in front didn't even turn his head, but instead quickened his pace, trying to shake off the sound that was like a thorn in his back.
"--stop."
A voice suddenly came from the side, causing Lilith's team and the team of white-robed girls on their right to freeze for a moment. Some of the white-robed girls who were walking with their heads down couldn't stand the pressure and raised their heads. They met Lilith's gaze for the first time, and the panic in their eyes seemed that they were not sure who the knights were talking about among them.
"I told you to stop!" But Lilith and the others did not stop, and neither did the team next to them. The originally calm voice turned into a stern shout!
Lilith felt something was wrong. She and Lucas exchanged a glance. How could they explain that they were missing someone? Would they believe Ian if he went to the toilet and got lost? Suddenly, a hooded man in a white robe in the team next to her turned around, squeezed in front of Lilith, and followed them inside.
Lilith:? ? ?
What is going on? Lilith stared at the thin figure in front of her in amazement. She flashed in front of Lilith and even took a few quick steps, almost sticking to the black-armored knight in front of her. Before she could react, the girls in the team next to her were pushed aside. It was the knights of light who came over and rushed to Lilith and grabbed the white robe in front of her.
The long and narrow corridor suddenly became crowded and chaotic. Lilith's nose almost touched the cold white armor. She and Lucas swiftly took a few steps back to avoid being stepped on by the rushing knights. The view in front was blocked by the wall of people. When she was in doubt, she heard screams and scolding from the front.
"Let me go! Let me go! I want to go home!" The voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but Lilith felt that it sounded somewhat familiar.
"I just feel like there's one more person in this team. She's really good at running..." Lilith heard the knight in front of her muttering.
The black-armored knight who led Lilith and the others could no longer pretend nothing had happened, so he turned around to check the situation. He saw a little girl in a white robe struggling frantically under the hands of a knight of light. The knight did not expect that a small girl could have such strength, and he was unable to control this girl who had no rules and even bit people. He accidentally let go of her. The black-armored knight saw the white-robed girl suddenly rushing towards him, grabbing his belt and refusing to let go!
Black-armored Knight:?!
"Tell my grandfather! I want to go home! They won't let me go home!" The girl seemed to be in a semi-crazy state, looking up at herself with red eyes, "My grandfather is - ah!"
She was suddenly pulled away from the black-armored knight. The knight stretched out his hand to stop him, but thinking of his duty at the moment, his face under the mask became tangled. After just a moment of hesitation, the girl was pulled away from him and dragged aside. The white-robed girls next to her were like silent lambs, just watching quietly. When the knight of light approached, they retreated tacitly, forming a semi-arc circle, which finally saved Lilith's sight. She also saw the scene in the corridor. The girl's mouth was covered, but the knight's hand was too big, completely covering her entire face including her mouth and nose. She waved her arms in vain due to difficulty breathing, and her neck quickly turned red.
Lilith no longer cared about the fact that she was also about to be exposed, she shouted sharply, "Hey! She's suffocating!"
The white-armored knights in front all cast sharp glances towards the voice, as if they wanted to see which goddess was so rude, but when they saw the girl who was obviously dressed as an outsider, they did not speak, but they also ignored Lilith.
Lilith felt a force behind her to push her away. It was a few older women in white robes. They panted and shone lanterns towards the Knight of Light. When they saw the messy short hair of the person in their hands, they instantly confirmed, "Yes, it's her."
Then he raised his foot and led the way forward.
"Oh!"
The Knight of Light who was holding the girl in white robes was suddenly blown away by a sudden force and hit hard against the pillar of the corridor. The girls around finally screamed, and the old god holding the lantern in front turned around in shock.
“I said—” Lilith pulled her arm away from Lucas’ anxious pull, her face covered with a layer of frost.
"—she's suffocating, can't you hear her?"
