The challenge of survival in the gloomy forest lasted a little longer than Charles had expected.

On the first day, they encountered the group of human-faced demon monkeys, and fled for six or seven hours under the chase of the demon monkeys. When they finally get rid of those guys. The forest had turned dark.

Charles thinks that once they get out of trouble, the church should stop and get them out.

It's just that he took it for granted, and he didn't see the shadow of the church all night, but he kept twists and turns.

It didn't take long for a group of rookies to find a place to rest in the forest, and around midnight, a group of monsters in the shape of enlarged black mosquitoes attacked from the sky again.

Night's talent could not be effective, and naturally there was no deterrent effect on this group of monsters. And so the escape began.

It's a pity that the monsters encountered this time are different from the last time, they have wings and are very fast.

So much so that in the end, this group of people had to rely on the hypnotic ability of the dream fairy, and like the monster, they fell into a deep sleep collectively.

It wasn't until the next day, when sunlight appeared, that the group woke up from the forest and fled quickly before the monsters could wake up.

It's just that getting rid of the second wave of monsters is not the point, and while everyone who is tired from running around is wondering how to find food, the third wave of monsters reappears!

It was something similar to a maggot, densely hidden under the dead leaves on the surface, and it was originally very inconspicuous, but when the big man was searching for food, he accidentally stepped on it directly, and almost didn't fall into it.

That's right, it's the fall - these "maggots" have hollowed out a large area of dirt under the surface, forming a trap full of "life".

Fortunately, the short flame pulled him in time, so there was no tragedy.

However, it also woke up the disgusting stuff, so much so that they began to chase after them.

As a result, the charr revealed another natural ability – mastering the flames.

Charles was able to absorb and deflect flames close to him, while the short man was able to unleash that special fire attack.

So the two cooperated, releasing it there, integrating it here, and finally sent out several large fireballs and hit the ground to form a sea of fire, only to burn those disgusting things clean.

But that's not the end of it.

After the maggots, they encountered a swarm of half-human-tall blue spiders, a swarm of flies the size of a fist, and a large pile of black beetles with large, sharp mouthparts in a week.

Every time it's thrilling, every time it's embarrassing. But each time, everyone gets to know their peers a little bit better.

Connie, for example, in addition to a one-handed auxiliary spell, also has a very special life-saving ability - she can support a special magic after brewing for a while, so that she will disappear from this world.

Even Charles couldn't find out.

This ability to save life is a must, but it needs to be maintained with all its might, so naturally there is no way to attack, but even so, it is enough to make others envious.

Another example is the big round-faced man who usually doesn't say much, in addition to the ability of the paladin, this guy will also have a very powerful beast language ability, the monster he doesn't know is not easy to say, but as long as he knows, he can communicate simply and mislead.

There's also the shorty Flame's picnic barbecue technique, the Dream Elf's divination and prediction skills, and the blonde Betty's gossip talent, among other things......

And the Charles, in addition to their special solar talents, also showed very "erudite" knowledge.

He was able to recognize the plants and animals of the forest, and he knew what was edible and what was not. Because of this, this group of talents did not end up starving to death here.

This also gives him a high invisible status among this group of people.

Relatively speaking, Charles also learned some things from them that he didn't know before.

For example, the development of the church in the colony was not smooth, and it was very difficult to encounter various overt and covert forces. For example, the Church of Thorns has an ambiguous relationship with the Star Spirit Society in the Old World.

For example, the position of the ministry of the Gospel is actually very sought-after because in addition to writing manuscripts and earning contributions, it can also be used as a "part-time" demon hunt.

In the kingdom of Dulin, there is a dark side, whether it is a monster or a human, there are rewards for contributions.

Other positions may not be able to move around at will due to their respective jobs, but a position like the Ministry of Evangelism has a much higher degree of freedom, and it is natural that you can often earn extra money.

All in all, this time was boring for Charles, but he also gained a lot.

However, this situation did not continue any longer, and on the ninth day of their arrival, a group of people who had been surrounding the campfire were suddenly enveloped in a burst of light, and then they disappeared into the forest.

All that remained was the bright yellow bonfire burning in a trance, and a pheasant-like food stuck in the campfire.

……

This time, Charles also noticed the sound of glass shattering, but it didn't take much time for him to ponder it, and the whole world was suddenly turned upside down.

Resuming his life, he found himself in a study.

At the same time, a phrase rang in my ears.

"I'm sorry guys, but I didn't rescue you until now because I needed accurate positioning."

This is the study of the ministry of the Gospel.

Even without the Siegel sitting behind his desk, Charles would be instantly recognizable. What puzzled him was that the other party didn't seem to intend to admit that this matter was the church's troublemaker?

He wondered about this, but the rookies who had just appeared here didn't pay much attention, and the sudden change of environment made them look a little dazed, but then they cheered loudly with excitement.

"The Lord of Thorns is up again, and finally comes out!"

"Thank you to my Lord, thank you to the Church, thank you Mr. Siegel!"

"That's a goddamn place for people."

"I'm going to get a good night's sleep!"

……

Facing this group of noisy young people, Siegel coughed dryly, signaled them to be quiet, and then said: "Necromancers are so rampant that they dare to imprison the people of the church in the territory of the royal city of Dulin, but you can rest assured, they have been caught by the church, and I believe that the Inquisition will bring you justice." ”

"Thankfully, you're all right, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to my superiors, alas." He pretended to sigh, and then said: "But the work of the gospel department is like this, evil is raging in all countries, and danger can be encountered at any time, so you must also be mentally prepared as early as possible. ”

These words made the rookies' faces straighten, their excitement cooled down slightly, and they became much more serious.

Charles was silent.

"However, because of you, the Church has captured some necromancers who are plotting to cause damage, so I specifically asked the Archbishop for a reward."

Siegel said, and under the excited and expectant eyes of everyone, he took out six pamphlets and six glass rings of round white color from the drawer in the desk.

"These are spell manuals for illumination, you can go back and practice them, although they don't usually work, they are still very effective in certain environments."

After nodding his hand to explain the booklet, he picked up a "glass" ring again and said, "This thing is a crystal strange object that has been newly developed by the R&D department recently, and its effect is ......."

As if he felt that the narration was not as intuitive as the actual operation, Siegel did not explain it directly, but put the ring on the index finger of his right hand.

After muttering a short incantation, he suddenly shook his hand, and saw a white dagger appear out of thin air in his hand.

Or maybe it wasn't out of thin air, the sharp-eyed Charles could see that this thing was made from the ring he was wearing just now!

"You see, a ring can be transformed into a dagger, or it can be — into a sword!"

He shook his hand again, and the dagger extended directly into a jade-white and slightly shorter one-handed sword, but Siegel did not stop.

"It can be like this, like this, like this......"

Under his successive shakes, whips, sticks, hammers, hooks...... All kinds of weapons and non-weapons appeared in front of them one after another, and the crowd was simply dazzled.

Siegel finally shook his hand, turning a pair of scissors back into a ring, and then smiled at them, "The detailed operation methods and spells are already caught in the illumination, you can go back and study them carefully." Take a good rest and report to me at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow. ”

"Sir, I still want to ask, the ......"

Before the short man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Siegel: "If it's not urgent, I'll talk about it the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

Flame nodded, not saying anything more.

The others were the same, and although there were still many questions to ask, they were thrown out of the way despite Siegel's slightly impatient urging.

So the matter passed so "lightly".

The people who were rescued and rewarded at the same time left happily.

Charles looked down at the reward he had received as he walked, and he didn't know what to say.
