Chapter 575
Chapter 575
Sephiroth and Aglaya walked along the familiar road. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to their journey home.
As we move closer, the magnificent outline of the temple gradually appears before our eyes, and the white stone pillars shine with holy light in the sun.
As Saifei looked at the temple, she felt a sense of familiarity in her heart. This place was like a safe haven for her soul. No matter how many storms she experienced outside, returning here always made her feel at ease.
That being said, I feel more at ease when the boss is around.
Passing through the gate of the temple, the courtyard is quiet and tidy, with flowers and plants swaying gently in the breeze.
Aglaya took Saphir straight to the place where Clara often played. Before they got close, they heard a silver bell-like laughter.
I saw Clara carving something. Her little face was filled with an innocent smile and her carefree look made people happy.
On the side, Ji Zi was beside her, seemingly teaching her.
Jizi's eyes were gentle and patient. She gently held Clara's small hands and guided her how to carve beautiful shapes.
Ji Zi's voice sounded softly, and Clara listened with great interest, nodding from time to time, and the movements of her hands became more and more skillful.
"Clara!" Saifei couldn't help but shout.
Clara heard the voice, stopped what she was doing and turned around.
When she saw Saphir and Aglaya, her eyes lit up.
"Sister Sefier, Sister Aglaya, you are back!" Clara shouted excitedly, putting down what she was holding and running over like a happy little deer.
Saphir smiled and opened her arms to welcome Clara's hug.
Clara threw herself into Saphir's arms, hugged her neck tightly with both hands, and rubbed her little head against her shoulder.
This action made Saifei a little shy. Her furry ears shook unconsciously and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Ji Zi, who was standing by, was a little surprised when she saw this.
When did Clara become so close to these two people? She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she was soon infected by Clara's joy, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
Aglaya walked forward and said gently, "Clara, are you being nice?"
Clara nodded vigorously, "Clara is very good and obedient."
"What is Clara doing in the garden?" Aglaya asked, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Carving." Clara said, pointing to the unfinished product beside her.
"Carving? Carving what?" Saifeier asked somewhat puzzledly. She took a few steps closer and looked at Clara's work carefully.
"I want to make a cute little rabbit. I want to give it to Brother Lin Yu's child, Sister Xueying, so I want Sister Jizi to teach me." Clara's eyes were shining, full of anticipation for the completion of the work and love for Sister Xueying.
"It's halfway done, and you're back." Clara answered truthfully, with a hint of small regret in her tone, but it was quickly overshadowed by the joy of seeing her sisters.
After hearing this, Saphir and Aglaya looked at each other. They didn't expect that Clara, at such a young age, already knew how to prepare gifts carefully and express her feelings.
"Clara, you're great!" Sai Feier praised, gently touching Clara's head, "When you're done, Sister Xueying will definitely like it."
Clara laughed happily after hearing this, "Really? Then I must finish it quickly!" After that, she ran back to the table, picked up the carving tools, and prepared to continue her creation.
Jizi looked at Clara's energetic back and said with a smile, "She is very talented and very attentive. I believe she will carve a very beautiful little rabbit."
Aglaya nodded, and her eyes fell on Clara. The focused look of that little figure really made people feel happy.
But after a moment, Aglaya seemed to remember something, her eyes moved slightly, and she changed the subject and asked Jizi softly, "Ms. Jizi, where are the others?" There was a hint of curiosity in her voice. After all, she had opened some areas in the temple and allowed free movement, but at this moment she only saw Jizi and Clara. She couldn't help but wonder where the others had gone, whether they were busy with something, or had other arrangements.
"Some of them went to the library to look up information. They said they wanted to see if there was any information about this world that could help them deal with the current situation."
"The current situation is not good. No one dares to slack off." Ji Zi said as she gently adjusted the hair by her ears, a hint of worry in her eyes. Although the temple is peaceful at the moment, the outside world is full of dangers, and everyone knows it very well.
Upon hearing this, Aglaya frowned slightly, thinking about the current situation in her heart. It was indeed as Ji Zi said, becoming more and more complicated and unpredictable.
She then asked, "What about Lin Yu? What is Lin Yu doing now?"
Ji Zi thought for a moment and replied, "Lin Yu went to the forbidden area. He seemed to have sensed something strange and wanted to check it out. Before leaving, he also told us to pay attention to the surrounding movements and report any situation in time."
At this point, Ji Zi's expression became a little serious. The forbidden area was originally an area that Aglaiya did not open to the public, and outsiders were not allowed to set foot in it. But for some reason, she suddenly opened it up and agreed to allow outsiders like them to go to that important area.
Ji Zi had the same doubts in her heart. This forbidden area has always been an extremely special existence for the temple. The power of the gods is sealed in it, and any carelessness may lead to immeasurable consequences.
She didn't understand why Aglaya made such a decision. Did she really trust these outsiders completely, or was there some other unknown intention behind it?
Aglaya's frown deepened, her mind racing through possibilities.
On the one hand, she believed in her own judgment. Although Lin Yu and others were outsiders, they also showed kindness and justice during their time together. Perhaps it was because of this that Aglaya decided to trust them and let them enter the forbidden area to explore possible crises.
But on the other hand, this is a matter of great importance after all. If anything goes wrong, it may not only endanger the lives of Lin Yu and others, but may also cause the sealed power of the gods to get out of control, bringing disaster to the entire world.
Saifei was listening quietly at the side, her heart full of doubts, "Aglaya, why did you agree to let them enter the forbidden area? This is not a trivial matter." Saifei couldn't help but ask, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and confusion.
Aglaya sighed slightly and said, "I have also thought about it carefully. Recent signs show that the enemy we are facing is getting stronger and stronger, and there seems to be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it. I feel that all this is related to the authority sealed in the forbidden area. Maybe Lin Yu and the others can find some clues that we have overlooked. Moreover, I believe that they will not easily do anything to hurt us. After all, we have a common enemy."
