Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1782

It was a temple.

From the outside, the place looked very run-down.

It didn’t occupy a lot of space…

It was at least half the size of an ordinary temple.

There was a black signboard above the temple’s main entrance.

The words ‘Terrarium Peak’ were written in capital fonts on the signboard.

Right then, there was a monk sweeping snow by the entrance.

He was a middle-aged man.

He was dressed like a classic monk.

The broom he held was the most ancient kind of broom…

When the monk saw Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, he immediately bowed to them.

The monk was very thin. There was a fairy-like aura around him.

Meanwhile, Xyla, Stanley, and the bodyguards quickly bowed to the monk.

Soon, the monk approached them.

“Why are you here?” he asked.

“I have an appointment with Chief Cornelius Kroe… I need to discuss something with him…” Stanley said.

“Please come with me…” The monk respectfully bowed to them again.

After that, he led them into the temple…

Xyla didn’t say anything. Instead, she silently held Stanley’s hand and followed the monk into the temple.

The interior looked identical to the run-down temples Xyla had seen on television shows.

Unlike the temples meant for tourists, it looked cold and empty here.

Not even a fly could get in.

After entering, Xyla saw an old man with white hair meditating on his bed in the room.

Everything Xyla saw made her feel as if she was watching a combative period drama.

Everything in here looked no different from temple rooms in period dramas.

Cornelius, who was wearing an old and patchy robe, had a long, white beard.

He looked skinny.

He didn’t have much flesh on his face. For this very reason, his cheekbones appeared very high up…

There was a fairy-like aura about him.

When he heard someone entering, Cornelius slowly opened his eyes.

After that, he slowly got out of bed before approaching Xyla and Stanley. “Sir, Madam, this way please…”
