Chapter 22: The Demon Monastery I

After learning from Lilith's translated words that the two cultists had infiltrated the grove a few months ago, Fein recalled the memories in his mind and confirmed that what the two cultists had said was indeed consistent with the information in his memory, and that this grove at the foot of the eastern mountains of the Britton Mountains was indeed hiding a monastery in the woods of the Pastoral Cult as in the previous life.

As a time-traveler with memories of his past life, Finn and Lilith remembered this stubble after seeing the forest in the inn room during the day, and it happened that Princess Tifia had postponed her appointment with him until the next night because of the delay of the caravan, and he had made a temporary plan since then, planning to come here to meet the princess before entering the palace of Kepesh to meet the princess, and to deal with the cultists lurking near the royal capital.

If he remembers correctly, he was sure that there were still a few pieces of equipment and props that would be useful to Lilith in the monastery, so this improvised adventure would not affect the Violet Civil War, which would soon break out, but it would not be a loss overall.

Suddenly, after Finn and Lilith teamed up to clean up the two cultists guarding the door, there was a sound of birds flapping their wings and flying low in the dark mid-air in one direction of the grove.

Lilith's dark eyes lit up.

"Pol is back." Then, she turned in the direction from which the voice came, and a white-feathered owl peeked out of the shadow of a tree not far away, with two large eyes that shimmered in the night, and then shook off a few leaves and flew back to Lilith's outstretched hand towards it.

Lilith doesn't understand bird language, and Pol can't understand human speech, but fortunately, there is a chain between the demon pet and the master, so the racial barrier does not prevent their master pet from quickly completing a few simple words of communication through mutual communication.

Then Lilith nodded at Pol, causing the white owl, which was still quite fat even when it grew up, to stop above her head, raise a hand and gently stroke its soft feathers, and then relay to Finn the information that Pol had previously reconnoitred around the rest of the grove: "Pol said that it found no one else in the woods except here, and that the traces left by our entry into the woods should not have been followed. ”

"That's good." Facing the girl's gaze, the young man smiled back and lowered his head to examine the bodies of the two cultists.

"But, Finn, what is this place?"

"A demonic monastery built in the woods by the Shepherds, or rather an outpost they set up on the edge of Perades. To put it bluntly, the low-level believers and lower-level believers of the Demon Pasture Sect are cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time, and the pendants around the necks of these two people mean that they are middle-level believers, and the establishment within the Demon Sect should belong to the faction that the poisonous vine is responsible for managing. ”

"You knew they were hiding here in the first place?"

"The instincts of the clergy."

Finn tore a pendant from the neck of a black-robed believer and put it in the empty pocket, and couldn't explain to Lilith why he knew that there were shepherds here, so he simply said a perfunctory sentence, and then took a few steps forward with the moonlight greatsword, kicked open the dilapidated wooden door of the small abbey, and led Lilith out of the house.

Tucked away on the outskirts of the Violet King's capital, the demonic monastery was in a dilapidated state, about the size of a bedroom, and the roof was leaking, with the only thing that mattered to notice was a stone brick staircase that ran beneath the surface.

The sound of the convent door kicking open no doubt alarmed the other cultists hiding under the staircase, and Finn and Lilith stood at the top of the staircase, soon hearing several loud shouts coming from the basement below.

Then the footsteps of several people approached.

If they don't evacuate in time, it will only be a matter of time before Finn and Lilith are discovered by the other shepherds in the crypt of the monastery.

However, Finn didn't seem to have any intention of running away from the beginning, and the act of kicking the door open just now was definitely not because of a fire in his brain, after all, his second year of secondary school illness had already been spent in his previous game career.

Soon, about five seconds later, the first cultist figure appeared on the platform at a corner under the stairs.

The Shepherd who came up from the basement was dressed in the same black robes as the two corpses outside the monastery, with a hood that half-covered his eyes was fastened over his head. As soon as the cultist, who didn't know that he was about to fall into bad luck, had just emerged from the corner of the stairs, and Finn locked on him as his target, and directly picked up the moonlight greatsword and jumped forward from the staircase, and the blade guided by momentum and gravity slammed down on the head of the cultist who hadn't even had time to turn his head.

In the next second, the remaining blood and a trace of slurry splashed on the stone wall around the corner platform of the staircase.

The experience reward for the mid-level cultist of the Demon Pastor to be killed immediately and unexpectedly pops up from below Finn's field of vision through the game system. The young paladin stomped on the corpse of the cultist, who had lost most of his head, and drew the moonlight greatsword from the blood-stained floor, and Lilith followed the owl pet from her black hair before quickly following down the stairs.

Lilith has one of the most significant differences from Arya, that is, the warlock girl who knew Finn first always trusted Finn unconditionally, so when she witnessed Finn kicking open the door of the monastery and alarming the shepherds below the stairs, just now she directly knocked over the first enemy who emerged from the bottom of the stairs with a rough jump, and just silently followed down and stood behind Finn, her white and slender five fingers clenched the staff of the wolf soul in her left hand, and her dark eyes quietly guarded the surroundings, Always be ready to cover Finn to continue the fight.

If Lilith were replaced by Arya, Fein estimated that Miss Witcher, who had always been cautious in her usual style, would probably count herself down in a frenzy, and ask herself with both worry and anger why she did such a reckless thing without even knowing the number of enemies, but in the end, she chose to do this reckless thing with him because she couldn't leave her companions behind.

Finn didn't deny in his heart that Arya's thoughts were more rational than his actions just now.

But he was certainly not a fool, and the reason why he dared to do so was naturally because unlike the vast majority of people in this world, he could indeed foresee things more than anyone else—as long as those things were fragments of a scene he had experienced in his previous life.

And this Shepherd Monastery hidden in the grove is where he had been in his previous life, and the layout and structure of the entire building of the monastery and the strength of the enemy are well known to him in his memory even if he is placed in a group of legendary players in his previous life, making him undoubtedly believe that he and Lilith are now two people who have no problem fighting against a group of cultists under this staircase, and then there is no need for the assassins' troublesome tactics of stealth assassination, just just go all the way in.

So, then--

"Let's go, Lilith, let's move on." He glanced back at the warlock girl who had followed down from the staircase, smiled confidently, and untied the other spiral iron sword behind his back, "Tonight, we are invincible. ”
