Soon, the three girls left the main street, which was lined with taverns and cheap brothels, and came to an eerie and dark fork in the road.

Although the terrible "whining" sound of the sea breeze and the decayed and deserted night scene in front of you make people feel creepy. However, it was a relief to be able to get rid of the stench just now, where the air was full of inferior ale and the mixed smell of human vomit, and it was still a relief for the three girls who loved cleanliness.

The fork in the road they were now at led to the Platinum Temple, once known for its title of "the tallest building in Fryjus". At that time, every day, gorgeous carriages carried noble believers to this imposing building.

But now, it's bleak.

"If there is no problem with the intelligence, then the abandoned Platinum Temple has now become a base for the Death One Sect to conduct secret activities and exchange and collect information. What we're going to do tonight is to sneak in and see if we can find useful information. As a last resort, it's best not to startle the snake. ”

Xie Ona nodded silently and followed closely behind Renus. And Ji'er had an eager expression on her face.

Fortunately, the Cult of Death is very lax in its vigilance at this secret base - or rather, not at all. The three girls, including an eldest lady who had no experience in sneaking in, quietly entered the abandoned temple.

"What do we do next?" Ji'er asked, "It's so big here, do you have to layer by layer?" Room-by-room search in the past? ”

Renus also fell silent for a while.

Indeed, it seems that there is no better way than that.

"If my brother is here. I think he'll have a way. Xie Ona said suddenly.

Ji'er nodded in agreement: "Yes, that guy can definitely use spells to help us determine the target at once......"

Renus also knew that stealth was the most suitable task for a mage who had mastered a lot of useful and practical spells, in addition to professionally trained wanderers. A paladin like her, of course, is not afraid of any enemy in frontal combat. However, this kind of sneaky work is really a bit difficult for strong people.

But now Gordon is on the Saint Marisa, doing something inhumane with his fiancée, Miss Vigna. It is impossible to come and help the three lovely young ladies.

Fortunately, although there is no regular mage among the three girls, Miss Ji'er, who is a knight of mysteries, can barely be regarded as a spellcaster.

"Don't worry, you two. Even without the help of that villain. I have a way to do that too. Ji'er smiled smugly and took out a smoke crystal from her dimensional bag.

Her teacher, Savi. Langdon is also an amazing mage, and of course prepares many precious magic items for his students in case they need them.

After the smoke crystal was crushed, the arcane energy in the crystal swirled and changed, gradually condensing into a sinuous gray curve, which appeared at Ji'er's feet, pointing far into the distance.

"The guiding technique is complete." Ji'er clapped her hands. "Next, we just need to follow the guidance of this gray line. You will be able to reach your destination. ”

After the eldest lady showed her hand, even Renus had to admit that she seemed to have underestimated her a little before. If there is no help from Ji'er at this time, I am afraid it will take a lot of time needlessly.

In the deserted temple, the three girls followed the gray line and quietly advanced. The process was unexpectedly smooth, and they didn't encounter any enemies. I don't know if the person in charge of the Death One Zhi Sect in this place has something to do and left temporarily, or if this place has been abandoned by the other party.

But when they walked into a large room, they ran into trouble.

Renus looked at the surroundings, judging by the size and layout of this room, it should have been a place for a large ceremony.

Just pass through here and you'll be able to reach your destination.

But somehow, the paladin suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart for no apparent reason. There was also a burning sensation on the hilt of the sword she was holding.

Dawn, the sword given by the goddess of dawn herself, has the ability to warn its master when danger approaches.

Renus gently drew her sword, and found that the blade of the sword was indeed as she expected, blooming with a scorching and dazzling white light.

"Sheona, Ji'er, get ready to fight!"

As soon as the female holy warrior's voice fell, wave after wave, the sound of clattering came from overhead, making people's scalp tingle when they heard it.

The three girls saw that another dark cloud was suddenly surging from the ceiling, and they didn't care about disguise, and they lifted off their old robes on the outside, revealing the bright and shining armor inside.

"What's that, vampire bat demon?" Xie Ona clenched her swords in her hands, staring at the black cloud hovering overhead.

This abandoned eerie temple is indeed a good habitat for that evil creature.

"Nope." Renus shook her head and said, "These are the Dark Beasts. ”

The Darkveil is a small creature that weighs up to 10 kilograms. They have many tentacles growing on their bodies, and between the tentacles, there is a hard membrane. When the tentacles are extended, this hard membrane can be used as wings, allowing the Darkcurtain Beast to gain the ability to fly for a short time. When the tentacles are closed, the dura covers the body, making the creature look like a hanging stalactite.

These small monsters, which live in packs, are usually only found in the Underworld. When they attack their prey, they will attack from top to bottom by surprise, using their tentacles and dura membranes to just wrap the head of the prey, causing it to suffocate to death.

For example, now, these dark curtain monsters are one after another, constantly swooping downward, wanting to directly use their bodies to wrap the heads of the three girls.

But whether it's Renus or Xie Ona, or Ji'er, who has the least combat experience among the three. When dealing with these small demonic beasts, it is still more than enough. Although the Darkveil Monster also has some special abilities. For example, they can use spell-like abilities that have the same effect as Dark once a day. to interfere with the prey's line of sight.

But the little darkness they created was, in Renus's eyes, the worst of all tricks. The dawn in her hand was a gift from the goddess of dawn, how could she be afraid of the darkness created by the dark beasts?

The battle ended quickly, and between the sword lights, the corpses of the dark curtain demonic beasts fell like raindrops. Almost the entire floor of the room was covered. Although it was disgusting for girls who loved cleanliness to accidentally get the blood and minced flesh of the monster on their bodies, they were not injured. That's a blessing.

Although the attacks of these dark beasts were only dangerous, it was obvious that their existence had already been discovered by those cultists. Renus knew they had to get out of here quickly. Before leaving, though. She still hadn't forgotten from the study next door to this huge room. Scooped it up.

Renus was in a hurry, and she didn't know how much useful information she had found in the text. But there is no time to scrutinize it now.

"Three beautiful young ladies. You've hurt my adorable pets, do you want to just walk away? ”

When Renus, Sheona, and Ji'er had just run out of the abandoned temple, a man in a black robe stopped in front of them.

This man who suddenly appeared out of thin air was wearing a black robe and a black robe, and even the shoes on his feet were pure black colors. The three girls couldn't see each other's faces clearly. It was as if a hazy mist had hidden his features. However, judging from his pointed purple-black ears, it is not difficult to tell the identity of the other party: a dark elf.

This is not unexpected. Because the Dark Veil Monster only lives in the underworld. With the exception of the Dark Elves, there is probably no other race that will bring them to the surface and keep them as pets.

"Is the Cult of Death involved with the Dark Elves?" Renus didn't wrinkle slightly. The more foreign forces involved in the machinations of these cultists, the more tricky it became for her.

But the dark elf didn't seem to be going to give Renus time to think. His hands suddenly disappeared into the darkness. No, I'm afraid this statement is a bit inaccurate and misleading. In fact, it was just an illusion because the dark elf's hand was moving too fast.

The dark elves who couldn't see their true faces flicked their fingers, and several silver magic missiles whistled out and struck Renus's side.

The magic missile is a very common one-ring plastic energy spell, and the three girls naturally know it. However, it is rare for someone to be able to release several missiles so quickly like this dark elf.

Fortunately, Xie Ona, who often has simulated battles with her brother, is no stranger to this attack mode. My brother's self-created spell "Missile Storm" is more than ten times greater than the attack density of the dark elf mage in front of him.

She drew her two swords decisively. Ever since her battle with Derlington, Sheona has been immersed in the epiphany she gained while holding the Platinum Light. She continued to understand, digest, and learn, transforming and integrating the perception of that moment into her own swordsmanship. Although she has not improved by leaps and bounds, her swordsmanship has now entered a new realm after being tempered thousands of times.

In the chaos of sword light, the magic missiles of the dark elves were all accurately intercepted by Xie Ona. When the metal blade cuts into the force field, it immediately destroys the structure of the spell itself. The arcane energy was instantly unbalanced, and silver-white light bloomed one by one in the dark night.

"Interesting."

His own attack was cracked, and instead of getting angry, the dark elf showed an expression full of interest.

And after Xie Ona stopped the opponent's spell attack, she didn't have time to rejoice. Because she suddenly found that the long sword in her hand made a crisp "click" sound. Cracks visible to the naked eye were rapidly spreading on the sword's body.

Although the two long swords in Xie Ona's hands are not high-level magic equipment, they are also swords made of pure gold and tempered thousands of times. It stands to reason that it will never be damaged because of the vibration of the force field energy of a few magic missiles. So what happened to the weapon in her hand now surprised her.

"Sheona, throw the sword away!" Ji'er suddenly shouted.

Because of her profession and tutoring, she is the one who knows the most about arcane arts among the three. The spell that the dark elf on the other side just now. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, she felt something else in those silver force field energy bullets.

A very special power.

Sheona heard her friend's exclamation. Throw away both long swords at once. But unexpectedly, before the two pure gold swords landed, they seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and suddenly and completely shattered, dissipated, turned into powder, and then disappeared with the wind.

If those seemingly ordinary magic missiles just now hadn't been stopped by Xie Ona, they had hit themselves......

The thought that her fate would probably be like Xie Ona's two long swords, the girls couldn't help but shudder.

The three of them felt scared of time. It's only for a second or two. And in this short time, the dark elf was about to prepare the second spell.

This time, though, Renus wasn't prepared to be beaten. She's going to strike first.

The dark elves were engrossed in chanting the incantation when they suddenly felt a surging red light coming towards them. Raise your eyes and look over. It was found that among the long sword shining with pure white light in the hand of the female holy warrior, a fierce and powerful force was gathering.

This power is as red as blood, thick as pulp, and full of the desire for revenge and battle.

"Oh. It's funny. The holy warriors of the Goddess of Dawn actually wield the power of this chaos...... It seems to be exactly what I thought. These churches of the main material world and false gods have long been corrupted and degenerate. ”

Although his tone was full of mockery and disdain, the dark elves did not dare to slack off in the face of Renas's powerful blow. He had to give up the spell he was preparing and instead propped up a black shield in front of him.

After the red sword light hit the black energy shield, it suddenly erupted with a shocking sound. Even though the temple was in the middle of nowhere, the sound of thunder reverberated throughout the city. How many drunkards woke up from this loud noise, and how many guys who were galloping on a woman's belly were frightened by this loud noise. I don't know.

When the dark elves who had blocked Renus's blow came back to their senses, he found that the three girls had disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!" He cursed hatefully. Because of the fluctuation of the feelings. The black mist that hung over his face also vanished.

"It's imperative to count the losses first and see how many secrets that paladin has discovered. It seems that because of this small episode, I am afraid that the plan will change significantly. If I had known that, I should have left a few servants to guard the stronghold, rather than take them all and feed them to my pets as soon as I was in a bad mood......"

…………

And at the other end of the city, in an aristocratic district with a completely different environment from the slums, three girls walked out of the rift created by the fluctuations of space.

Ji'er touched the teleportation ring on her hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it hadn't been for the opportunity for Renus to attack with all her might, she probably wouldn't have had a chance to open the directional portal and let the three of them retreat.

Probably under the influence of Gordon, before tonight's mission to infiltrate and gather intelligence, the three girls had already discussed the plan to retreat. I didn't expect this pre-set teleportation point to really play a role.

"Who the hell is that dark elf, so powerful, and so weird in his possession." Xie Ona still had palpitations. She knew that if she hadn't thrown away the two pure gold swords in time at that time, the unheard-of power would probably erode into her body along the hilt of the sword. In the end, she might be like those two pure gold swords, and her real person will be reduced to powder.

Renus's expression was solemn, and the heroic spirit between her eyebrows was replaced by a hint of darkness. She is a paladin of Titus, the goddess of blood and vengeance, and is favored by the goddess of dawn. Her understanding of divine power is deeper than that of the other two girls. As soon as she fought with that dark elf just now, she understood that the special power that the other party had came from the gods.

It is not a reward given by the gods to the faithful, but from the gods themselves.

That's divine power.

Renus shuddered at the thought that there was a chosen person or deity in the cult of the Death Cult. The development of events seemed to be more strict than she had imagined.

"Renus." Xie Ona looked at the pale-faced paladin, "Are you overconsumed because of that blow just now?" I think you'd better go and rest early. We'll talk about that tomorrow. ”

"I'm fine. You two should rest as much as you want. Renus waved her hand. She straightened her armor and quickly disappeared into the night.

"The holy warriors are really lucky." Ji'er looked at Renus's back, and then said to Xie Ona, "It's still early, when I get home, I'll let the kitchen prepare a little supper." The battle just now was really tiring. We were able to enjoy the food while watching the clown show. Or, it's not bad to listen to a story about a bard. I remember that the day before yesterday the third chapter of The Red-Haired Pirate King had been released......"

Xie Ona glanced at the eldest lady, and could only smile wryly and let her arrange the evening program.

Early the next morning, Renus, full of worries, woke up from her simple room. After washing, she opened the window, bathed in the morning light, and began to pray to the goddess of dawn. Although she was no longer the paladin of Melicia, she still maintained the habit of praying early in the morning.

Then Miss Paladin ate a simple breakfast of water and bread while rummaging through the bunjiàn she had found in the abandoned temple last night.

Then, she was quickly drawn to a name.

"Ben. Bishop of Anissa, head of the Temple of the Dawn in the city of Flaires. He actually has something to do with the Death One Sect? (To be continued......)
