"It's been a hard fight, Lord Grey."

"Thanks to Lord Crein's repulsion of the leader, the Headless Horsemann, the undead's assault has slowed down."

Grey returned to the rear camp, and the people she rescued greeted her, smiling, nodding slightly, entering the city gate, all the way back to the Church of the Light.

Returning to the room arranged by the nun, she took the great sword and placed it next to the wall, then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, recalling the battle with the Headless Horseman.

is worthy of being an elite cadre in the underground world, even if she loses her head, she is a difficult opponent, she almost used all her strength, but only to repel the opponent.

But how did the female warrior monk blow her head?

And the man with the strange staff and the companions beside him all gave her a strange feeling.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

She opened her eyes to a little nun in her teens standing in the doorway, looking at her with a wistful gaze.

She was used to this kind of gaze.

"It's so late, is there something wrong?" She smiled as she was customary.

"Lord Tassie wants to see you."

"Tassie?" Crein seemed to have heard the name somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Well, Lord Tarsi is a high-ranking knight in this church, as young as you."

Hearing the little nun's introduction, Claire finally remembered that she had met this Tassie at a meeting last year, when she had found herself and introduced herself enthusiastically, but she didn't care.

"Did she say why she was looking for me?"

Overzealous followers will usually only cause her trouble, and if it is not necessary, it is better to keep your distance.

This is the profound experience she summed up when she was soaring in the path of the Paladin.

"She said she had important news for you." The little nun tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said.

Is it another excuse of unclear meaning?

Claire cupped her forehead and shook her head slightly.

She had heard this kind of rhetoric hundreds of times from different people who wanted to see her.

"Sorry, I'm tired today, tell her I'm resting."

"Okay, please get some rest."

The little nun left, and Claire went back to her bed, thinking about how to go out of the city tomorrow and destroy a few ossuary towers.

Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the hallway outside the door.

Claire listened intently and heard the voice of the little nun.

"Wait, Lord Tassie, don't disturb Lord Creein's rest."

In addition to this, there are large and small footsteps.

Her brow furrowed.

Is that paladin named Tassie so persistent?

There was a knock on the door.

"Lord Crein, High Paladin Tassie, has important information."

Crein sighed slightly.

"Come in."

Tassie pushed the door open and entered the house, followed by a little nun with a bewildered expression.

"Mistress Crein, I'm sorry, Mistress Tassie...... I ......"

"It's okay, you can go back and rest."

As if pardoned, the little nun left the room again and closed the door.

"Thank you for saving me on the battlefield today, if it weren't for your timely arrival, I would have been an ugly undead."

"That's what you're talking about?" Claire sat on the bed, staring at Tassie, frowning slightly.

"Uh, no, I just wanted to thank you first."

"Now then."

"Do you remember that when you rescued us, there was a young man with a red baguette nearby. ”

It's him? The man who refused to team up with him.

Not only at that time, but later when she fought with the body of the Headless Horseman, the man and his teammates were nearby, but they just watched, and did not help. Of course, she didn't need help.

"I have an impression, what's wrong."

"Actually, I was watching the undead outside the city before he appeared."

Surveillance?

Surprised, Cree motioned for Tassie to continue.

"The first time I noticed the man was in the Cathedral of Light, when I noticed a hint of the undead in him, so I secretly followed."

Claire's eyes froze. The breath of the undead?

"I followed him until he entered a tavern called 'Emerald'."

Tassie suddenly lowered his head, a look of shame on his face.

"I'm ashamed to say that as I gazed at the door of that tavern, a strong sense of fear seized me like a spider catching its prey, and I lost the courage to enter the tavern to investigate......"

Hearing this, Cree understood a little.

"You want me to investigate that tavern?"

But she had new doubts.

"You didn't report this to Father Rapp?" Father Rapp was the administrator of the church, responsible for the development of the Cult of Light in Castalon, and Tassie was supposed to report to him, but she approached her.

Tassie's expression became a little strange.

"I reported it to the priest, but he said ......"

"Say what?"

"The priest told me to ignore the tavern and focus on my practice, but he didn't give a specific reason. I couldn't let go of my doubts, but I still went to the tavern every day to keep an eye on her, and found that Maiser, the bartender of the Adventurers' Guild, had entered the tavern several times, so I found her. ”

"When I inquired about the tavern from Madame Maiser, I sensed her uneasiness, and she must have been hiding something from me, though she tried to hide it."

"There's also a suspicious rumor about that bar, and it's said that the person who found it tasted the finest wine, as if to lure people to look for it on purpose."

"That tavern is so found?"

"No, it's on the busiest street in Castalón, but not everyone notices it."

Although Clairen doesn't drink, she grows more and more interested in the mysterious tavern that Tssie mouths. She had already decided to go there tomorrow before she left the city.

"In addition, with your help before, I and the rest of the survivors successfully withdrew to the barrier, and while resting in the camp, I heard a strange thing that made me very concerned, and it was also about that man." Tassie continued.

Clairen listened quietly.

"At that time, a large number of ghouls attacked the inside of the barrier, and the leader among them, and the most powerful ghoul happened to run to the man's location, and when they saw him, they actually bypassed him directly."

After a short silence.

"Okay, I'll accompany you there before I leave the city tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning, the two of them came to the long street of Uradaha, and the usually lively street became very deserted, and only the patrolling knights were seen wandering in the streets.

Tassie stopped on the side of the street and pointed to the yellow wooden gate across the street.

"That's it, can you see it?"

Crein stared at the ordinary-looking yellow wooden door, nodded solemnly, and walked over.

"You can stay outside and wait for me."

"I'll go in with you." Tassie followed briskly.

The door was pushed open.

Ringer looked to the door and was surprised to see Seria and Layla walking in together.

"Hey, why did you bring your sister here?"
