Finn stared at the Durion Jiahui in his hand for a second, and his keen instinct immediately made him realize that the young corpse in front of him was probably the son of Grand Duke Conlot Durien, Duke of Gorantia. As soon as he thought of this possibility, he instantly felt that the small badge in his hand had become a little heavier.

"But now is not the time to care about that." The spirit only lingered on the episode for a moment, and Finn admonished himself before flicking his head slightly and standing up. The Durion family badge was crumpled in his hand and put in the Void Pocket, hoping that it would come in handy in the future.

After getting up from a half-crouching position, the young paladin looked up at the box on the second floor of the venue for a moment. Just a moment of staring, he felt that there was a threatening secret enemy hidden in the place where the Duke's son fell. Perhaps, while he was looking at the box, the enemy hiding in the shadows was also watching him.

"Is it someone sent by the Dark Alliance?" His mind quickly made a guess.

According to the information at hand, he knew that the decision of the Darkmoon Council had caused the three leaders of the Dark Alliance to send their respective men to the human realm to carry out an ulterior plan, among which the Black Knight Ko'Vogart, sent by the Skeleton King Leoleda, had been stabbed by him in the Melol Mine, and the vampire queen Cosette's valued Baron Kilrivers was also defeated in Blue Harbor because of his reasons, and the only remaining party was obviously the Calamity Wizards' Guild.

In the year 461 of the Quaternary Age, this time period, the enemy from the Wizarding Society of the Plague...... Wyndas, the Pale Lord, Monassa, Banshee, Santa de Mayer, the Plague Herald, or another future Lich Murfus?

In this list, Wyndas, Monasa, and Santa de Mayr, with the exception of Murfus, are all difficult to deal with, but from a strategic point of view, the weakest Murfus is the most cautious, cunning, cruel, and decisive of the four - which is one of the reasons why the Lich Constantine ignores the doubts of many corpse witches and values him as a wizard apprentice.

In summary, if Finn had to choose, he would rather Wyndas, Monasha or Santa de Mayer jump out and fight him now than God knows when he will be slowly disgusted to death by Murfus, who is hiding behind the whole conspiracy. Personally, he hopes that the opponent of this encounter will not be the young apprentice from the Hill of Mourning.

Under the guidance of reason, Finn decisively resisted the urge to go to the second floor of the venue, after all, no matter how you look at it, the most important thing for him and his three companions at the moment is to quickly escape from this fallen underground venue.

Having made a decision in his mind, the young paladin immediately led his companions towards the side door of the venue. The number of undead in the corridor of the ring field is not small, but their inferior fighting level is destined to be as unstoppable as the fallen comrades before them.

Soon, the young paladin and his companions opened the side door to the surface along the bone-strewn pathway.

Finn opened the door and saw a narrow staircase in front of him, he estimated that the width of the staircase could only accommodate one person, so he changed Raymond to the front of the line, and let Raymond, Arya, and Arroyo go first, and he was the last to step up the stairs of the staircase. He walked halfway into the back of the door, his black eyes glancing back at the suspicious box on the second floor of the venue at the last moment, and then immediately closing the door as he evacuated the scene.

On the second floor of the venue, in the first box from the right, Murfus walked slowly from the pool of blood of the corpse at his feet to the window sill that had broken a gap, and cast his godless gaze sideways in the direction where Fein and his party had left, and watched the escape door slam shut.

"Maybe one day, I'll have to do everything I can to get rid of you......" he exhaled slowly, "but not now. ”

As the words fell, the indifferent and ruthless wizard apprentice slowly lowered the bone staff in his hand, calmly watching his opponent flee the venue.

He didn't know that Finn was always ready to recite the spell that activated the Drinker Ring when he turned his back on him, and the reason he let Finn go was just a thought that had just crossed his mind.

Keeping this enemy will be useful for your future ambitions—he thought to himself.

……

Along the narrow corridor, the young people quickly approached the surface world of Hurengel, and it didn't take long for Raymond to be at the front

Ran to a small platform at the end of the stairs.

"There's a locked iron door here." Raymond paused and said back.

Arya and Arroyo then arrived at the platform as well. The thief carefully put down the little girl in his arms and handed it to the elf girl beside him, and then skillfully took out a thin wire from his coat pocket and stabbed it into the lock of the iron door.

"Hell, I can't pry open this lock." Two fingers twisted the wire into the keyhole a few times, Arroyo cursed, pulled out the twisted wire and kicked the door hard.

At this moment, Finn, who was trailing at the end of the line, also ran onto the platform. The young paladin shouted "Let me come", then picked up his greatsword and slashed at the lock on the iron door.

"Bang!"

It was like the sound of striking iron.

The Whirling Blade, which has a 5% armor-piercing effect, slammed into the most fragile beam of the iron lock, and the thin strips of metal that made up the lock beam twisted into an ugly shape on the spot, and then the hand that Fein pinched the lock body with 23 points of brute force and ripped it into two.

Solving the problem of dropping the lock, the young paladin tossed the broken lock aside, and then slammed his shoulders against the door with a shrug, and the last barrier that prevented everyone from returning to the surface finally opened.

"Oh my god, we're finally out." With Finn, who was the first to crash out of the door, Arroyo also followed outside with a line of rejoicing, and then after a while, he and Finn both stood stupidly not far from the door and did not move.

"What's wrong with you two?" Seeing Finn and Arroyo frozen in place, Raymond and Arya walked out through the doorframe in unison.

In the next second, they immediately experienced the suffocation felt in the hearts of the paladins and the thief youth.

The city is burning.

The half-elf girl who led the elven girl in one hand reflected the burning flames in her pupils, and Finn, Arroyo, Raymond, and Arya could clearly see that the city streets of Hurengue had fallen into a cremation scene at some point, and the houses in the distance crackled in the flames, and every now and then one or two beams on fire fell from the roofs of the bare houses and fell into the flames.

In addition to the tragic image of being surrounded by flames, they also saw scattered skeleton soldiers hobbling through the streets with red-hot rusty swords in their hands, several black shadows of ghouls cowering at a distance and gnawing on bloody corpses, and a lame zombie coming out of a ruined alley noticed the breath of a living man, and then turned his head like a dementia and slowly approached in the direction of the crowd. The darkness of the night could no longer contain the light of the fire that lit up half of the sky, and the scorching air carried the smell of burnt blood.

"How can this be......" Looking at this apocalyptic scene, Raymond felt that the anger in his heart turned into an inexplicable confusion in a blink of an eye, and his lips, which had become dry because of the air, subconsciously muttered to himself, "What happened on the ground when we were not there?" ”

He couldn't believe that the relentless time had passed only a moment of auction, and the holy city of the Church had become such a hellish picture.

At this time-

"Look over there!" Arya looked to the side of the street and suddenly noticed something, "There's a living person there!" ”
