"Smack!"

The blade of the sword swung over, and the dark green soul fire was extinguished, and a skeleton warrior holding a rusty sword was hit by the giant sword with a strong wind with a dull sound, and then scattered into a pile of skeletons and fell to the ground, and the skeletal head with hollow eyes fell from mid-air and rolled to the feet of the young paladin, and a second later was kicked away by the latter without caring and continued to move forward.

Finn and Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond walked along a large road leading to the Earl's Castle, the firelight on both sides of the street reflected his cheeks and eyes, the heavy and sharp greatsword was firmly held in his hand, and the undead creatures scattered around the street always tried to stop their progress due to their hostile instinct towards the living creatures, but they were all cleanly cleaned up by him without exception.

Before departing from the Cathedral of Tiamagoth, the young paladin asked Arroyo to entrust the half-elf girl they ransomed from the underground auction house to Miss Sister Sua, while Arya, Raymond, and Arroyo went to Count Drew's noble castle as his companions, so that the half-elf girl who was not capable of fighting was placed in a relatively safe place. The Radiant Gate beneath the Basilica of Tiamagos is also staffed with a clergy who will open the portal and maintain the teleportation tunnel with St. Anthony's Cathedral.

Of course, if he wants to choose the safest battle plan, what Finn needs to do is actually to guard the entrance to the crypt of the cathedral with Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond, to ensure that the Gate of Glory can be successfully opened as much as possible, and finally hand over control of the scene to the Mithril Knights, the most professional, religious, and disciplined religious soldiers who have emerged from St. Anthony's Cathedral through the teleportation tunnel.

But it was clear that Finn could not choose this theoretically safest option, because he had not forgotten that Lilith was still in the hands of Count Drew and Priest McCas.

Even the half-orc Mithril Knight who died in the Great Hall had advised him not to go to the castle to fight Count Drew.

He really couldn't do this kind of thing to give up something important for the sake of absolute sane correctness.

Whether in a past life or in this life.

So he thanked Bogro for his advice, and then ignored the latter's words and went to the Count's Castle.

On the way to the castle, the young people also encountered two undead executioners except skeletons, zombies and a few ghouls, and the two large undead warriors attacked them mercilessly, but the low-level undead were low-level undead after all, and the dark green soul fire destined them to fight purely on their own instincts, and without the command of the high-level undead, it was difficult for them to deal with smarter opponents. As they wandered through the scorching streets, the undead creatures that roamed the city of Hurengue could not pose a threat to Finn's party, and the Count's castle was soon visible from the far end of the view.

Located in the west of Hurenger, the noble castle of the Count of Drew is a luxurious residence of the feudal aristocracy in a medieval style in a built-up area of the city, its thick and high walls enclose the central towers, and the fierce fire and choking smoke surround it from all sides, leaving only a wide stone bridge that arches slightly as a link between the fort gate and the street outside.

Beneath the broad stone bridge is a small moat that protects the castle, a trench dug around the castle that connects with a lake upstream of Hurengue and flows into the port of the city into the western sea of St. Fren, thus keeping the fire open from the castle she protects.

On the deck of the bridge, Priest McCasse was standing at one end of the stone bridge, like a lone gargoyle guarding the main entrance of the castle.

He was alone, with the entrance to the castle behind him, and in front of him were the four young men who had already entered his field of vision, the temperature around the surface made him feel a feverish heat, and the clouds in the sky made him feel an extremely oppressive tightness in his chest, and the objective and subjective discomfort forced him to clench the steel shackle with his right hand, and grasp the priest's emblem at the end of the bracelet on his left wrist into the palm of his hand, as if this could relieve his inner turmoil to a certain extent.

Soon, the figures of Finn, Arya, Arroyo and Raymond enlarged to normal proportions in the eyes of the evil priest, and the eyes of Priest McCass who could not calm down were a little hesitant to watch the young paladin holding a giant sword lead the three companions beside him to the bridge of the wide stone bridge and approach him step by step, and immediately raised the flail in his right hand and pointed at Finn, who was walking in the front, and shouted: "Stop! ”

With the basic vigilance expected of battle, the group stood on the deck of the broad stone bridge and stopped, and the four pairs of observing and scrutinizing eyes then moved away from Priest Mercas and the surrounding area, as if to confirm whether there was any trap set in front of the earl's castle.

After all, the young people didn't know what was going on in the heart of Priest McCas, and any of them felt that the entrance to the castle in front of them, which was only defended by one enemy, was too suspicious, and even Raymond, who was usually the most reckless, was surprised with caution in his heart at this time.

However, Finn, Arya, Arroyo, and Raymond didn't know what was going on in the castle, and Priest McCasse himself had no intention of using their unwitting advantage to play any psychological tactics.

After experiencing the terrifying incident in the castle hall before, the priest had not been able to fully recover from the stimulation of the three views. With his back to the entrance to the castle behind him, facing the image of the city in flames, he only felt that he was guarding an entrance to the nightmare world with his life, and the young paladin closest to him in front of him was like a wolf ready to pounce on him and bite him to death, and the grid-shaped iron door hanging above his head looked like a slanted axe hanging on the top of the guillotine.

In a short moment, he suddenly wanted to abandon the task given to him by Count Drew and run away, but the dignity and shame of his inner bottom did not allow him to betray his religion twice in succession, and the dilemma of thinking tortured his spirit to the point of madness, and the expression of pain, hatred, anger and even pleading was twisted and squeezed on his face at the same time after a while.

Just as Officer McCas's heart was about to collapse, Finn frowned at his distorted face for a few seconds before speaking.

"Is Earl Drew in there?" He asked, looking the priest in the eye.
