Adonis arrived at a very good time. It just happened that Sylvia had almost digested the food she had eaten for breakfast, and Daisy had also finished relaying the information she had requested.
This timing was a little too convenient. Did it mean that he was always paying attention to her?
“Sylvia, are you resting?”
Adonis’s blue eyes flashed with concern, and there was none of the aura that a bishop should have in both his expression and actions. It was as if Sylvia was really his sister, and he was just a good brother who cared about his sister.
Sylvia didn’t look directly into Adonis’ eyes but replied with her head half lowered, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, my lord.”
The two people with their own thoughts ate lunch in a peaceful way, and then Adonis took Sylvia to visit other places in the Temple of Light.
She had to say that Adonis was really eloquent. When introducing a place, he did not simply mention the name, but interspersed it with some stories and interesting facts. At least Sylvia was really amused by him several times.
Until the two came to a place called Fu Beast Field.
Most of the people in Temple of Light, except for the knights, had average physical fitness.
Therefore, many temple personnel took beasts as their means of transportation, protection, partners, etc.
However, the temple had always been based on the concept of benevolence and equality of all living beings. Naturally, it would not forcefully capture these beasts. They basically relied on “love” to impress them, and then the subdued beasts would also produce cubs.
The temple would then take good care of these cubs and reward them to people with meritorious deeds. The higher the level of the beast, the more impressive the person’s status in the temple.
“Does Sylvia like them? I can give Sylvia one.”
Rare magical beasts were naturally not placed outside, but were taken care of one-on-one by a special person. Adonis didn’t mind giving Sylvia one, plus little girls tended to like these small animals.
Although the cultivation of cubs in the Temple of Light was mainly based on practicality, it was undeniable that there were also some cubs whose ornamental value was greater than their practical value.
As far as he knew, these little things were quite popular with female priests.
Sylvia looked in the direction Adonis pointed, and sure enough, there were a few furry and big-eyed animals whose breed she didn’t know playing happily.
If the person standing here at this time was her fluff loving bestfriend from her previous life, she would have rushed over excitedly and started playing with them, but not Sylvia.
“It is okay to play around in my spare time, but right now I have so many troubles that I haven’t dealt with, and I don’t have time to take care of any pets.”
That’s right, in her eyes, those cute cubs were pets.
But Adonis didn’t know this. He saw Sylvia took two more glances and thought she liked them, so he glanced at the attendant next to him. The attendant was very kind and led them closer to the field.
“You don’t have to worry about them hurting you. These cubs are all of the light attribute, and they love people with strong light power.”
As if to match the words of Adonis, the cubs all made squeaks in the direction of Sylvia, and with their hands and feet moving around frantically, they seemed to want to pounce on her immediately.
But there were barriers blocking them and they couldn’t get out.
The power of light was given to believers by the God of Light. Before the first test, there was no such power in the human body. Only after the test will the God of Light decide whether to grant you the power, and then the power of light will appear in one’s body.
Although ordinary people still didn’t feel anything, a bishop like Adonis could clearly feel the comforting power next to him, just like facing the statue of the God of Light.
Sylvia didn’t want to embarrass Adonis at this time, so she took the initiative to take a few steps forward, and her steps forward made the cubs even more excited.
As the cubs of magical beasts, they all had certain wisdom, and they were usually well taken care of. She didn’t expect that they would become like this now, looking more excited than if they had seen their biological parents.
As a result, all kinds of squeaks and other sounds rang out in the entire animal farm, which made the normally quiet temple livelier.
“You are really powerful, and you will definitely be able to tame powerful beasts in the future, maybe even one from the dragon race.”
Sylvia just smiled shyly at Adonis’ compliment, and then said logically that these cubs might not be suitable for her.
Also, with this excited look, if one was taken away, she didn’t know just how much it would pester her.
Adonis said casually that he wouldn’t force Sylvia to take one, so he didn’t say more. They turned around and wanted to leave here.
Seeing that Sylvia was about to leave, those cubs became even more agitated, and some even started to hit the barrier. Unfortunately, they were cubs after all, and they lacked strength, so they could only watch Sylvia leave.
“Roar–“
A juvenile roar suddenly came from behind, and Sylvia saw Adonis’s face change next to her. She turned eagerly to look in a certain direction of the field.
The cubs were all lying on the ground and shivering. While Sylvia was still guessing what was going on, a golden light suddenly rushed into her arms with a thunderous force, and the people around were too late to react.
Sylvia felt a pain in her fingertips before she recovered.
A complex magic circle appeared between Sylvia and the little thing in her arms, and then disappeared very quickly before anyone could see it clearly.
After it disappeared, Sylvia felt an inexplicable emotion that seemed to come from the unknown cub in her arms.
It had two small wings and its body was covered with golden fluff. It looked round like a ball, and there were a pair of small sharp horns on the head.
On a whole, it looked like a chicken with horns.
“Lord Adonis?”
Sylvia looked at Adonis with a bewildered face. This was a clear case of touching porcelain. She was innocent!
Adonis: “…”
He wanted to pull out a smile and comfort Sylvia, but!
How could it be this cub! And the two of them had even signed a contract!
Adonis said, “Sylvia, go back first, I have something to deal with. Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem.”
The well-mannered, gentle and polite Adonis almost swore.
Sylvia returned to her room with a confused look on her face, and then tried to ask Daisy about what had just happened. Obviously, this was a relatively confidential matter, and Daisy didn’t know anything about it.
Sylvia picked up the chick in her arms, no, it was an unknown cub and asked “What kind of thing are you?”
“Bah! This uncle is a divine beast! I’m not a thing!”
A young child’s voice sounded in Sylvia’s mind. Regardless of the stuff in this sentence, Sylvia was more surprised that he was able to talk to her in her mind.
Even though she knew that this was a Western fantasy world with mysterious powers, it was the first time that Sylvia had seen its magical nature with her own eyes. No matter how well she pretended, she couldn’t help showing a little excitement in her eyes.
The little beast thought that Sylvia was shocked by its identity, and was about to brag a little more, but was interrupted by Sylvia.
“Daisy, please go out. I want to rest for a while.”
Daisy left obediently, without asking even a single word.
Sylvia brought the little divine beast to the bed and whispered, “Can I talk to you without making a sound?”
The disgusted voice of the little beast continued to sound, “You are really weak. You don’t even know how to do this.”
“You should feel the connection between us in your mind. Just grab it and start talking.”
Sylvia was a mature adult who didn’t care about the attitude of a little kid. She directly followed the method he gave and grasped the connection.
“Hello, hello, can you hear me?”
Little Divine Beast: “She seems so stupid.”
Seeing that she had succeeded in one go, Sylvia had a genuine smile on her face. She couldn’t wait to harass the little guy in front of her.
“What kind of beast are you?”
“What’s your name, and what should I call you?”
“What was the situation just now? Did you recognize me as your master? Why did you choose me?”
The little divine beast rolled his eyes silently, but still answered Sylvia’s questions one by one.
“I am the child of the dragon clan and the cloud-dwelling beast, you will know the specifics later.”
“My name is Adrian, and I have not recognized you as my master. We are in contract of equals!”
“Adrian?”
From the attitude of Adonis just now, Sylvia knew that the little guy in front of her was not simple. She had heard of the dragon family and although she had never heard of the cloud-dwelling beast, it should not be simple. This precious cub had signed an equal contract with her and she didn’t know what the attitude of the temple would be.
“That name is so long, I’ll call you Ann.”
Adrian didn’t say anything about this, but Sylvia obviously wasn’t planning on letting him go so soon, and another series of questions came.
First of all, the question of why she was chosen as the contractor was asked again.
This made Ann, who had already spent most of his energy answering the few questions that he could, cover his face with his wings impatiently. He turned his body to face Sylvia with his butt and said, “I’m tired. Wait for me to get up and we’ll continue.”
To be honest, Sylvia felt that she was blessed by the God of Light for such a smooth contract to occur. The Temple knew about his lineage, and the barrier set up not only protected him from being harmed by others, but also trapped him.
Because he had a space attribute in addition to the light attribute, the enchantment around him was even stronger. However when he felt the breath of Sylvia at that time, Adrian didn’t care so much, and his power exploded directly.
Could it be that he really underestimated himself? Ann couldn’t think of any other answer, and with the overuse of strength, he just wanted to rest now.
Sylvia stretched out her hand and poked Ann’s body, but she was hit with a wing on her hand which hurt a little. She stopped harassing him, and put the little guy with a bad temper gently on the bed. She also took off her jacket and laid on the side.
She had to think hard about how she should respond and explain when someone came from the temple.
In any case, if Ann could really use his powers well, it would be an extra layer of protection for her. After all, they had also signed a contract, even if it is just an equality contract.
