During the march, Nia gradually became familiar with the people in the team. But even in the end, no one told Nia what their mission was. During the conversation, Nia only came to the conclusion that the other party was going to the village of Erno, but that was enough. Linked to some of the game's plots, Nia has roughly guessed the other party's target.

On the way, everyone also asked Nia, but she was very cleverly rounded by Nia.

The road narrowed, and Nia put away her contract beasts for the time being. After all, on such a path, those summoned beasts did seem to occupy a bit of a road, which would somewhat affect the investigation of this clergy team.

At the end of the road, the view suddenly widens. But it's not like in the usual story, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and what appears in front of everyone's eyes is a dilapidated and abandoned village.

The village is not large, and everyone can see the end of the village at a glance from the entrance of the village. There was no human scent of the village, the dilapidated windows swayed in the wind, the rudimentary wooden doors seemed to collapse at any moment, and the walls were dilapidated with a large number of strange claw marks. Everyone could tell at a glance that it was not safe.

"I didn't expect this place to be like this. It seems that the Bishop is right, even if it is not eroded by the dark forces, it has at least suffered a disaster like the plague,"

Sensing the sense of crisis coming from ahead, Golantis turned his head to Nia and said. "It might get quite dangerous here in a moment, so you might as well stay outside the village." After all, the other party was not a member of his own clergy ranks, and Golantis did not believe that unrelated people could not be involved in danger.

"Okay, don't say it, I'll go with you."

"Why keep me here. I also know some lightning and fire magic, so that should be able to help a little, and besides, I won't be in danger if I am left here alone. Hearing that the other party actually wanted to throw herself outside, Nia immediately stopped. Her task is to rob the boss's head, how can she grab it if she stays outside.

"Okay, in that case, then you and I can be on a team." Nodding helplessly, Golantis also felt that the idea he had just now was not very suitable. In that case, let's take her with you.

——————

"The team dispersed, looking for anything suspicious." At the sound of the order, the clergy began to investigate in pairs, while Nia followed Golantis, who had planned to be in a group.

Walking in this abandoned village, I have to say that there is really an atmosphere here as a scene for filming horror movies. The light here is not good due to the fact that it is in the mountains, and today it happens to be a bit cloudy. As a result, the entire village is covered in a dark gray color.

The separated paladins entered each house one by one, and the search was in full swing.

However, before everyone noticed, small dirt bags began to appear on the ground.

In the center of the village, the crowd gathered.

"Report to the captain, I didn't find anything strange."

"Me too." The clergy found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Could it be that the enemy evacuated after destroying this place?" Thinking in his heart, seeing that everyone had not found any clues, Golantis had to guess like this.

But at this time, Golantis, who is extremely sensitive to his surroundings, suddenly issued a warning to everyone. "Watch out, something seems wrong here."

As soon as the words fell, obvious dirt bags appeared on the ground. The dirt bag quickly began to bulge, its claws outstretched, and a group of red-eyed, tattered clothes, and rancid corpses crawled out of the ground. They roared hoarsely at the team of living in front of them, and then they sluggishly and slowly gathered around the group.

"All, get ready to fight." Seeing the zombies that appeared, Golantis finally knew where the faint sense of crisis just now came from.

Since Nia and her location happened to be in the center of the village, almost in an instant, a large number of zombies appeared in all directions and surrounded Nia and the others.

Looking at the crudely recognizable clothes on the zombies, Nia knew that these people were once estimated to be villagers in this village.

"Poor lost ones, let me give you salvation." With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, Golantis prayed a simple prayer before arranging for the crowd to begin the battle.

"The paladins are in the front row to stop these zombies from approaching, and the priests are preparing the Holy Light Orb and purification."

It should be noted here that while most of the female clergy in the procession wore sacrificial robes, Golantis was an exception. Dressed in plate armor that only protects vital points and doesn't interfere with movement, she's a front-row paladin. Because of this, after the battle deployment, Golantis rushed out first.

Because Nia said that she was a summoner herself, and at most she was a magician. So she was rightfully placed in the back, holding back the big moves with the sacrifices, ah no, chanting magic.

Over the course of the battle, Nia discovers that Golantis is indeed the character who serves as the professional mentor of the priesthood in the game. Her every move and style is very proficient, and some skills are different from ordinary priests, and according to Nia's previous understanding, this is the product of her own improvement on the basis of the original divine art.

A group of slow-moving zombies were easily blocked by the front row of paladins, and the priests in the rear were also ready for their magic skills.

As the holy light continued to light up in the village, the zombies on the field were purified by the priests. Eventually, after purifying a skinny zombie with saliva from its mouth, there was no more zombie left on the field. The battle was declared over.

"What's the matter with those zombies just now, there are such creatures here." After the battle, everyone also began to talk about it.

"It's not over yet." The only two people on the field who didn't let up were Golantis and Nia. Golantis left because he didn't feel a sense of crisis. And Nia relied on her own system prompts, these are just miscellaneous fish, since they all called themselves here, how can there be no boss brush?

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a stone monument in the center of the village began to shake. Before everyone could react, the stele collapsed and shattered, and a thick arm glowing pale blue stretched out from it.
