(Santa Secca Throne Room)

One of the six demons roared, "Damn, those humans actually fled to the City of the Great Tower with their magic swords. ”

"Because of what?"

"It seems that some people know some prophecy or something."

"I hope someone suddenly appeared to save a broken book of stupid humanity, but I didn't expect anyone to really believe it."

"Don't believe it, let the assassins look for those books later, I heard that the one named Ranga is still alive, so summon her!"

"Is it really okay if we don't stop that human from getting the magic sword back?"

"It's okay, we've cursed Kajudir, and we'll be able to see their whereabouts later."

"And I'm ready, even if that human summons some gods, it won't be its opponent."

(Charon Forest)

Ankka and Ellanch followed the main road and finally reached the vicinity of the Charon Forest at dusk.

Ankha said, "Let's make some temporary settlements nearby!" ”

With that, he and Ellanch went to the neighborhood to find some scattered thick sticks and large, thick leaves.

The two soon set up a rudimentary tent and rested in it.

At night, the cold wind blew through the forest and made a rustling sound, and Anka, who was on the night watch, looked vigilantly into the depths of the forest with a short sword.

Ankh noticed an intermittent light in front of him, and instantly hid in a tree and waited.

Ankha thought to herself, "Are those thieves?" But how can you leave from here, not afraid of being discovered by patrolling paladins? ”

As the light approached, the light was thrown to the ground, and the man exclaimed.

Anka thought to herself, "Great, I'll wait a while if I hit the trap." ”

Soon, the light that Ankka had thought of floated again, and continued to walk here.

Ankka jumps to other trees and tries to get closer to the light.

Later, when the lights came to a small clearing, Ankka saw them by the moonlight, and some hunters dressed as hunters with glowing rods seemed to be looking for something.

Ankka noticed that they were pinching one of Ellancy's scales.

Ankh thought to herself, "Scales? Did it just drop? It seems that these people are looking for Elanch. ”

Ankka then jumped down as they approached Ellancy, who was sleeping soundly in the tent.

"Hey!" Ankka jumped down and shouted as he patted one of the hunters on the back.

All the Orions were stunned by the sudden appearance of Ankka, but soon they turned together, and the Orion who had been slapped by Ankka also pulled out his scimitar and threw it at Ankka.

Ankh subconsciously pulled out his short sword and slashed the opponent's scimitar in half.

Seeing this, Ankh stroked the short sword and said, "It's really sharp." ”

With the help of the moonlight, the other party saw clearly Anka, who was holding a gorgeous short sword and wearing golden armor, and instantly fell to his knees in unison.

The other man shouted, "O great paladin! Please forgive us for what we have just done. ”

Ankka looked at her outfit and thought to herself, "Did you think I was a paladin?" It's okay to just ask them what they know. ”

Ankh said, "Get up! ”

The other man slowly got up after a moment's hesitation, but still bent over to face Ankka.

Ankha asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Back to my lord, we found a small piece of silver scales that looked like it was a baby dragon, so we wanted to grab it and sell it."

Anka said calmly, "She's mine, we'll rest nearby." ”

Hearing the Orions fall to their knees again and beg for mercy, Ankka just repeats them to their feet.

When they got up again, they seemed to have lost their strength and were completely collapsed on the ground.

Ankh asked, "Do you live here?" ”

The other party nodded in response.

"Do you know what's unusual here lately?"

The other shook his head violently in response.

And just then Ellanch also woke up, approached Anka, yawned and said, "Morning." ”

Ankka bent down and stroked Elancy as she said to the Orions, "Can you take me to where you live?" ”

When they agreed, the two followed them to a hill-built village in the Charon Forest.

Almost all of the villagers then gathered around Anka, who stood on a high platform in the middle of the village to avoid crowding.

The villagers fell to their knees and shouted, "Paladin, please help us!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"There is a huge monster living in a nearby crypt that makes the earth tremble with every breath and causes lightning with every roar, and we can't do anything but sacrifice a child to appease its anger every time."

"Have you tried fighting it or asking some adventurers for help?"

"I've tried, a few young people have been there, only to be scared and run back with their armor thrown away, and those adventurers don't want to come because we are so remote here that we are paid very little."

"Take me there."

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent, and no one dared to come out and bring Anka over.

Ankka shook her head while Ellancy whispered, "Coward." ”

Ankh pinched her mouth to stop her and then turned to them and said, "Then you can tell me the specific location directly, and I will go there myself." ”

"It's in a ruined tower just north of here."

Anka then set out on the road with Ellanch to get there.

Ellanch asked, "Why help those cowards?" ”

"If there really is such a monster, it should have been known to the paladins a long time ago, unless they don't want to care, and I'm just trying to prevent more people from being hurt by monsters."

After arriving at the destination, Anka saw that the collapsed tower in front of him had become a gathering place for various small creatures, and after seeing the fire, Anka said vigilantly: "Be careful! ”

With a thud, a slender crossbow arrow of a steel arrow pierced Elancy's soft neck, and Ankka stepped forward to hug Ellanch and dodge behind a stone pillar, and then began to shoot through the stones in the direction the arrow was fired.

The thieves laughed and came out and said, "You paladins are too arrogant! Does just one person dare to come after us? Brothers, he is at the end of his rope, and we used to be the same as before. ”

"Hehe, that little dragon is good, but it's a pity that the fourth one, you missed the shot, and it should be left until the end, so that it is fresh to be skinned alive!"

"Hahaha......"

Before they could finish speaking, Ankka slowly got up and threw stones.

With a whoosh, the stone that Ankka threw with all his might pierced through their leather armor and into their flesh.

The thieves all fell to the ground in pain, wailing and wailing, and Ankka, in order to avoid being ambushed, picked up a stone pillar and crushed it and threw it around.

When Ankh came to them, one of the thieves took a box from the arms of the other thief and said, "Please, let's give it back to you and let me go!" ”

Ankka split open the box and found that inside was a delicate one-handed sword that looked the same as the magic sword.

Anka thought to herself, "Like the magic sword, it seems that this is just an imitation of the magic sword. ”

One of the thieves crawled to Anka's feet and said, "I'll give you whatever you want, please don't kill me, I have a daughter to raise." ”

As he spoke, he sent a photo to Anka.

Ankka asked calmly, "How many people have you killed?" Tell the truth! ”

The thief responds after being pinched by Anka's head: "Didn't kill it!" ”

"You dare to lie to me? I can peek into other people's memories. ”

The thief instantly kowtowed and begged for Anka's forgiveness, and then pointed to the other thieves and said: "Some young and strong ones have been unloaded by them, and they have sold them to slave owners, and some young and beautiful ones have been sold by them, and they have never killed anyone directly, and these have nothing to do with me, please spare me!" ”

The other thieves yelled, "Damn, you're not righteous. ”

Hearing this, Anka smiled and said, "Don't they have relatives?" ”

With that, he got up and crushed his ribs, causing him to die of pain after being pierced through the broken bones in his lungs, and several of the other Ankka did the same.

Ankha then picked up Ellanshi and said, "Hold on, you won't die!" ”

Alanxi vomited blood and said, "My lord, it's really nice to know you. ”

"Shut up! I've seen the future, you won't die! ”

After saying that, Anka hurried towards the city of the Great Tower, and when he passed by the village, the village chief asked, "Lord Paladin, have you helped us get rid of the monsters?" ”

"I'm sorry I have some other things."

After seeing the injured Elanhi, the village chief said, "Hey, if this kind of injury is not dealt with in time, even if it reaches the city of the giant tower, it will be useless. ”

"What can you do!"

"Ahem, we still have some medicines here, which should be able to stop her bleeding!"

Ankka then looked at the blood that kept pouring from Elanshi's neck and could only agree to his proposal.

Ankka leaves Ellancy in a room full of alcohol.

Ankh stood anxiously outside waiting.

Inside, Alan fell asleep with the help of medicine, and the resident physician carefully removed the arrows and began the operation.

After Anka waited anxiously for three hours, the doctor came out and said, "It's been cured, but you should pay attention to rest in the next half a month, fortunately, the vitality of the flying dragon is still very good." ”

Ankha got up and said, "Thank you. ”

The other party took off his mask, inhaled the air, and said to himself: "This thing is really stuffy!" ”

Then he noticed Ankka and said, "Her injuries weren't caused by monsters!" ”

"It was shot by an arrow."

"This steel arrow is a branch of the Spiral Blade of the Assassin family, compared to those people who also help the Spiral Blade, you should be careful even if you are a paladin in your way."

Ankh then walked in to see Elanshi.

Ellancy squeezed out a weak smile at Anka.

"Take a break! I'll take you back in a moment. ”

Ankh then got ready and decided to deal with the monster first.

Upon returning to the ruins, Ankka found a crimson-skinned monster crawling out of the ground and eating the corpses.

Ankka attacked after communicating with him to no avail, and the monster's venom easily corroded the tree, and Ankka dodged and said, "Fortunately, it didn't hit." ”

Ankka then noticed that it was difficult for her bloated body to turn around, so she quickly walked behind it and picked up the pillar and stabbed it in the ass, the monster roared in anger and made a deafening sound, and Ankka covered her ears and kicked on the pillar.

Soon the monster was crushed to death by the stone pillar, and Ankka used his short sword to gouge out its huge red eyes as a symbol of his victory.

Back in the village, Anka handed the giant eyeball to the village chief and said, "If you don't trust me, I can go there and have a look." ”

The village chief looked at Ankha tremblingly and said, "Great paladins don't lie, here is our reward." ”

After speaking, the village chief took out a bag of coins and handed it over.

"No need."

With that, Ankh left the village with Elanshi.

On the way, Elanch said, "I'm sorry for worrying about me. ”

Ankka hugged Ellanch and said, "I didn't protect you. ”
