However, the girl's next words were too direct and shocked Yugeo.

"That...... The so-called "invaders of the Dark Territory" are you two talking about? ”

"Huh......?" Subconsciously looked at Lin Yiyan, but it seemed that the partner didn't know what judgment to make in this situation, just frowned, his lips opened and closed repeatedly, and finally slowly moved behind Yugeo.

"I'm not good at dealing with children. I'll leave it to you. Hearing the lines that his partner said while staggering past him, Yugeo wanted to scold "You bastard" very much, but now it was impossible to go around behind Lin Yiyan, so he could only stop there, looked at the two girls on the stairs again, and stammered in an answer.

"That'...... That one...... Although both of us are human beings...... But the intruder is not wrong......" This time it was the two children who turned their faces away after hearing this, and whispered something about something. It's quiet, but it's so quiet that Eugeo can hear it clearly.

"What, it looks like a normal human, little Nirvana. There are no horns or tails. The one who said this with dissatisfaction was a strong girl named Fijer. The girl named Lynier retorted unconvinced.

"I, I just said that it was written in the book, wasn't it Xiaojie who took the other party without authorization?"

"But maybe it's just hiding it. If you look closer, you might understand. ”

"Eh, no matter how you look at it, it's all human. But...... Maybe it has fangs or something......"

Hearing the hilarious argument between the two, Yugeo remembered the twins he had seen at Wald Farm, Terling and Trulu, and the corners of his mouth softened. If he and Lin Yiyan were children of that age, and they heard that there were invaders from the Dark Kingdom around them, they might want to go and see it secretly. Of course, in the end, I will be scolded by my father or the village head.

Thinking of this, Ugeo had a new worry. Will these two young girls be punished for their contact with church rebels like this? Although I didn't care about these positions, I still had to open my mouth to remind them.

"That...... Won't you two make adults angry if you talk to us like this? Hearing this, Figel and Linier suddenly closed their mouths, and then smiled with relief, and one of them replied with a little smugness. In her voice, I don't know when I lost that caution.

"From the morning of this day, an order was given to all the friars, nuns and trainees to lock the door of their rooms and not to go out. In other words, even if we sneak out to peek at the intruder, we won't worry about anyone else finding out. ”

The tone of "Ha ......" is like a copy of Lin Yiyan. In front of Eugeo's eyes, it seemed that Yi Yan's plan was finally revealed when he was subjected to a monstrous rage. The two girls brought their faces together again and discussed something. Then, this time, it was Linier who spoke first.

"That...... Aren't you two really monsters of the Dark Territory? ”

"Well, it's not."

"So, excuse me, can we get a closer look at you? Forehead and ...... Teeth or something......"

"Huh?" Embarrassed by the unexpected request, Yugeo looked behind him, but Yi Yan also looked like he was begging for help, and looked at it with a trembling expression that he had never seen before. In desperation, Yugeo nodded to the girls, "...... Well, if that's it, it's probably fine......"

Although his personality determined that he could not refuse their request in such a situation, on the one hand, he wanted the two children to know that the rebels who were enemies of the church were just ordinary humans, and on the other hand, he also felt that this might be a good opportunity for the two children to obtain information about the interior of the cathedral.

Fijer and Lyniel's faces lit up with excitement, and with curiosity and a sense of vigilance, they walked down the stairs step by step, until they reached the corner platform, and then turned their cyan and gray eyes, respectively.

Eugeo bent down, picked up his bangs with his left hand, and "hissed" to crack his mouth to reveal his teeth. The two children stared at Ugeo's forehead and front teeth for nearly ten seconds without blinking before finally nodding as if accepting reality.

"It's human."

"It's human."

Seeing the blatant disappointment on the faces of the two, Yugeo smiled bitterly. Seeing Yugeo's appearance, Lynier tilted her head to the side.

"But if you're not a monster of the Dark Territory, why would you want to invade the Central Cathedral?"

"Eh, the ......"

Eugeo, who felt that his pace was completely disrupted, gave an honest answer without concealment. “…… A long time ago, one of the girls in my friends was captured by the Knight of Integration. So, I want to get her back. ”

There was only one sentence, and it was not a legitimate motive for the friars, who were immersed in the teachings of the Congregational Church, but was the realization that Eugeo had prepared for the look of fear and resistance that appeared on Lynier's young face. But instead, the girls just nodded. The wheat-colored girl named Figel said with a slightly dissatisfied expression, "That's it, it's very ordinary." ”

"Normal, ordinary?"

"Huh. In the past, it was rare but not uncommon for people who had been arrested because of their family members or lovers to come to church to protest. Of course, the people who have made it all the way to the church haven't been before the two of you. ”

Then, next to him, Lynelle continued.

"And after being imprisoned, he cut off the chain of spirit iron and escaped, and even took down two integration knights after that. After hearing these words, we felt that it was a terrible dark monster...... Maybe it's the real Dark Knight. But ah, I didn't expect it to be just human......"

The two children exchanged glances, as if to confirm, "Is that enough?" "That's enough," he nodded briefly. Then, Linier looked at Yugeo again, shook his hair down, and tilted his little head to the side.

"So, can you finally tell me your names?" There was still a lot of information to ask, but Eugeo answered it anyway. "My name is Eugeo. The latter is Yi Yan. ”

"Hmm...... Don't have a surname? ”

"Ahh Because we are the children of the pioneers. …… Are you too? ”

"No, we do." At this point, Lynier stopped and smiled brightly. A face full of innocence—like a child's smile with a big mouth open at a delicious snack.

"My name is, Lynelle Synthesis· Tenty-eight。 Before Yugeo could understand the meaning of the name, he suddenly felt a chill in his stomach and hurriedly looked down.

In front of Yugeo's eyes, the small sword that was pulled out at some point and held in Rinier's right hand had already pierced into Yugeo's body for about five cen. The handle and sheath were wooden—but the blade was dyed a muddy green of never-before-seen metal. The surface of the sword was illuminated by the sunlight that entered through the window, reflecting the drenched light.

"You......!" Lin Yiyan's short voice sounded in his ears. Turning his head back with a subtle stiffness, he saw his partner take a step forward with his right foot as if he were about to rush this way—and then settled in that position. Fijer, who was still by Lyniere's side a second ago, was now standing diagonally behind Lin Yiyan, stabbing the same green short sword deep into his black shirt. The corners of the girl's mouth were full of competitive smug smiles as before.

"—Then, I'm Figel M. Synthesis· Tenty-nine。 Fijel and Linier pulled the short sword out of the bodies of Eugeo and Lin Yiyan at the same time, and swung the sword quite quickly, shaking off the red blood on the sword, and then put the sword into the sheath.

The cold, which had spread from the wound in the abdomen, had now spread throughout the body. Those parts affected by the bone-chilling cold gradually lost consciousness.

"You...... Guys...... Whole...... ...... "Yougeo's mouth could only utter these fragmented words, because his tongue was completely paralyzed and unable to move. At the same time, the knees that supported him suddenly lost their strength, and the whole person fell to the floor like a wooden stick. The chest and the left side of the face hit the marble hard, but neither the pain nor the touch of the marble could be felt.

Then, with the loud sound of "bang", Lin Yiyan also fell to the ground.

Poison –

Eugeo finally realized what was happening to him, and began to think about what to do.

In the lecture notes of the Sword Academy, there is a special subject that teaches poisons that exist in nature and their antidotes. However, all of the things involved are how to deal with poison from plants or insects and snakes, and they don't take into account the situation of being attacked by poison in battle.

And rightfully so. In the Academy—no, the so-called battles fought in the human world are all about glamorous and beautiful competitions, and the act of poisoning weapons is strictly forbidden. Yugeo had heard that even the son of the nobleman who had released poisonous insects to interfere with their appearance at the Zacharia Sword Tournament had not applied venom to the sword during the match with Yi Yan.

Therefore, the only thing in Yugeo's knowledge is that "if you are stung by this poisonous insect, you will have to smear the juice of that grass". Now, however, he didn't know the types of poisons used by the girls, and there were no herbs around, not even the slightest trace of natural creatures. Although there was still a last resort to try to detoxify with the divine technique, now he couldn't move his hands and mouth, and he couldn't activate the technique at all.

In other words, if this poison not only robs the body of freedom, but also makes the destiny pass continuously, the lives of both will die before even half of the central cathedral has been climbed.

"You don't need to be so scared, Mr. Eugeo." As if reading Yugeo's thoughts, the integration knight Lynelle Synthesis· Tenty-eight's voice came from above him. Because of the effects of the poison, the lovely voice sounded strangely distorted, as if it was sinking into the water.

"It's just paralyzing. But then again, the difference is only whether you die here or on the 50th floor. With the sound of "click" footsteps, a pair of small brown leather boots appeared in the sight of Yugeo, who was still unable to move with his left face on the ground. Lynel lifted her right foot and stomped on Eugeo's head without hesitation, moving around in search of something.

“…… Well, there are no horns. Then, the foot moved to his back and stepped on the sides of the blade several more times, "There are no wings either." Xiaojie, how are you on your side? ”

"It's just an ordinary human here!" Outside of his own field of vision, Fijer should have also conducted the same investigation on Lin Yiyan, and then replied with a dissatisfied voice. "Ahh

"Well, that's it. Just drag the two of them to the 50th floor and cut off their heads with a 'snap' in front of the guys waiting there, and we'll be awarded artifacts and dragons. After that, you can fly all the way to the Dark Territory and meet real monsters. ”

"Yes. Hey, little Nirvana, let's see who kills the first Dark Knight first! Even at this point, Fijel and Liner's voices were just as innocent, and in Yugeo's opinion, that was the most terrifying thing. Just out of the curiosity and utilitarianism of children, they can face off against Yugeo and Yi Yan. Why could even such a child become an integration knight - no, before that, why did such a child exist?

Just now, Yugeo didn't see Lenier's sword drawing at all, and Figel was able to knock down Yi Yan from a distance away without difficulty, which was really shocking.

However, combat skills can only be improved through years of practice or through actual combat that has taken their lives. According to Yi Yan, Yugeo was able to control the Rose Sword as an artifact because he had eight years of experience wielding the Dragonbone Axe since his tenth birthday, as well as fighting the Goblin Syndicate in the caves of the north and repelling them.

However, Figel and Liner, no matter how you look at them, are only about ten years old, and it can be heard from their words that the two have no actual combat experience with monsters as opponents. In that case, what is the reason for them to have such agility?

Eugeo's mind was filled with questions and confusion, but he couldn't make even the faintest sound.

The paralyzing poison has spread to every corner of the body, and now I can't even feel the cold temperature of the ground, and I can't even tell if my body exists. So Yugeo didn't even notice that he was being dragged forward by Lynier's right foot until he saw the slender back in the monastic robe in front of him.

Looking desperately to the left with his seemingly movable eyeballs, Lin Yiyan was also dragged by Figel like a package like a package like a Ugeo. There was no expression on his face, which was completely paralyzed like that of Yugeo.

The two young integration knights dragged Yugeo and Yi Yan, who still had the rather heavy sword of green roses and black swords on their bodies, and climbed up the stairs lightly. In the process of being dragged upstairs, his head kept colliding with the steps, vibrating up and down violently, but he couldn't even feel the slightest pain.

Having to figure out a way out of this predicament, Yugeo's mind was numb, as if even his thoughts had been invaded by a toxin. Now all that surrounds him is a dry sense of nothingness.

Although they had to fight a decisive battle with the Congregational Church, they didn't expect that even the children of the church who were new to human affairs could do such a terrifying operation and transform them into integration knights. Moreover, such an organization should be believed by the people of the human world as a symbol of absolute goodness and order—for hundreds of years.

"You think it's incredible, don't you?" Liner's smiling voice rang in his ears suddenly, "Why would such a kid be an integration knight, right?" You're going to be killed soon, anyway, so I'll tell you. ”

"Xiao Ni, it's just a waste of tongue to kill them anyway, you're really a guy who likes to nag."

"Isn't it boring to just go up to the 50th floor? - Mr. Eugeo, we were born and raised in this cathedral. It was the Administrator who ordered the monks and nuns in the tower to give birth to us, in order to carry out an experiment on the sacred art of "resurrection" to recall the completely lost destiny. ”

Lynell's voice was still cheerful, even though he was telling terrible truths.

"The children of the outside world are ordained vocations at the age of ten, but we are ordained when we are five years old. Our job is to kill each other. In pairs, they stabbed each other with toy-like swords that were smaller than this poisoned sword. ”

"Your stabbing is terrible, Nirvana. Every time it hurts me so much that I can't stand it. To Fijer, who suddenly interjected, Linier replied with dissatisfaction. That's because you're always moving, Xiaojie. - Since it was Mr. Eugeo and Mr. Yi Yan, who had defeated the two integration knights, they should know that humans are not so easy to kill. Even if we're just five years old. So, with the anxiety of "it's not okay to kill the other party quickly", we indiscriminately cut and slashed the person in front of us, and finally turned the opponent's destiny to zero, but after that, the Administrator will resurrect him with divine magic......"

"The resurrection technique didn't go well at first. It's quite normal for people to die normally because they haven't been resurrected, and the rest are the guys who exploded into a pile of powder, the guys who turned into weirdly shaped pieces of flesh, and even the guys who became completely different people after being resurrected—"
