Sheehan's dispute with Leah came to an end with Finn's intervention.

When the young paladin heard the news of the Moonlight Greatsword from Leah, he said goodbye to the latter for the time being, and then easily found a two-basement lodging in the Adventurers' Guild in Logging Village under the pretext of Arya's Silver Adventurer.

This is where the young people will stay tonight. As the sun set to the west, the darkness of the night crept up into the sky, a semicircular moon hung high, and the countryside air on the west coast of St. Flen was so good that the stars clustered around the moonlight were visible.

The dagger jungle at night is quieter and more dangerous than during the day, after all, you can't guarantee that the beasts in the forest will sleep as late as humans, and the seasoned hunter will be vigilant if he needs to travel at night.

Lilith, Arya, and Camussa were probably resting in their basement bedrooms by now, and the young paladin told them they had to leave tomorrow, but instead of falling asleep, he walked out of the logging village in the night, heading in a direction he remembered.

The origin of the name of the Dagger Forest probably dates back to the time when Violet Larin's ancestor, King Atrik, led his knights across the St. Furn Sea to the coast and conquer the royal land.

At that time, the native people of the land were made up of warlike orcs, rugged barbarians, a few tribes of lizardmen in the humid terrain, and a small group of hill dwarves from the Lonan Mountains.

The tribes of the orcs were concentrated in the area of present-day Golantia and the plains along the upper Bernude River, and these savage creatures were born warriors, and King Atrik's plan to expand westward along the Bernude River was strongly resisted by these natives in the upper coastal plains of the river, and the army that later made the founding achievements began to stagnate like a brave cavalry crashing into a towering wall.

After a day of deliberation, the wise king came up with a plan for both rewards and risks, so he led his knights through the dense forest stuck between the two plains to blitz the orc tribes on the plains of East Gorantia, and finally succeeded in taking the territory in the north of the kingdom.

The ancient forest, which has since taken its name from the time it has been passed down from generation to generation, has been passed down from generation to generation by the people of Violet Larin's descendants as the Assassin's army emerges from the forest.

Finn had learned about this history from official background introductions and journal guides written by story party players, and his own tuba had been to the jungle himself - but that was after the outbreak of the Demon Tide War, and the Edventer Guild had established its prestige in the wasteland and immediately turned around and sent the Guild's elite members back to the shores of the St. Furon Sea to join the war, and he remembered a time when he had retreated into the woods to fight a guerrilla battle with an undead general under the command of Skeleda Leoleda.

The Undead General is a skeleton of bones named Agrete Cold, the Black Knight of the Hill of Eternal Death. The undead lord Agretel's lightning style impressed the previous Finn, and he still remembers a group of Violet players who witnessed the fall of Fortress Osorun saying on the forums that they saw the shadow of Blitz on the body of the undead army, and estimated that most of the game designers had mixed in with a few baguettes.

Agrete Cold Skeleton can also be regarded as Finn's old opponent, but in this life, Finn doesn't have to worry about his former enemy reappearing in front of him in the next second.

He was now planning to meet an old acquaintance from the past, the leader of a secret party within the Templar Church, who was supposed to be living in seclusion in the Dagger Forest during this time.

Following the route of memory, the young paladin found a small monastery in the woods at night that blended almost perfectly into the darkness of the night.

The young man stood in front of the door of the little monastery, politely reached out and knocked on the door of the house, then took in a breath of forest air and adjusted his breath patiently.

The knock of his fingers on the door of the house was transmitted from the closed door to the interior of the convent, and Finn did not wait long, and soon a slow-paced footstep stepped on the floor of the room and leaked out from behind the door, and the voice of an old woman who was somewhat muddy and aging then asked him through the door that blocked the two of them, "Who are you?" ”

Finn could hear the old woman's voice filled with disgust and impatience.

The other party was clearly wary of his arrival, but he did not care about this trivial matter, so he replied to the question of the man behind the door in his own voice: "A pious visitor. ”

But the tone is obviously much milder than the former, giving a friendly feeling.

The voice behind the door was silent for two seconds.

After a while, the old woman's voice remained guarded, and she threw a new question from the monastery and asked him, "What are you doing here?" ”

"To seek the truth in the shadow of light." Following the lines he had already made up in his head, Finn calmly replied to the man behind the door again, as if he had known that the other party would ask him that.

After this round of question-and-answer, the person behind the door seemed to understand what intention was in Finn's words, and then he did not hesitate for more than half a day like last time, but immediately put on an angry tone and planned to rush away: "The sun has set, this is just an abandoned hut, there is nothing you want!" ”

"But there are stars and moons in the night." Young people respond without thinking.

"Your head must have been kicked by an old deer in the woods!"

"My faith is as sane as my head."

"And when do you think it will be light?"

"The sun is not leaving, she is watching us from behind the night."

“……”

Once again, silence took over.

After about three seconds, there was a creak from the closed door, and Finn saw a crack open in front of him about the width of an elbow, and an old woman with two tumor-like horns on her forehead peeked at him through the gap between the door and the door frame.

The old woman's facial skeleton was obviously slightly different from that of a pure-blooded human, the skin on her face was an eerie red in the moonlight in the woods, and a pair of cloudy old eyes looked at Fain cautiously for a few seconds, and after a few more seconds had passed, she pursed her mouth and exhaled through her nostrils, and then opened the door a little more, and said to Fein with cold eyes, "Come in......
