"Squeak squeak!!"

Jenn looked up and saw a demon hunting spider leap from the ceiling, swooping at him with its mouthparts wide open. In response, Jenn raised his long sword without hesitation, and then saw several sword lights slashing through the air, and the next moment the huge demon hunting spider burst open. Aina also bent her bow and arrows at the same time, only to see her fingers move slightly, accompanied by the sound of "swish", several arrows flew out of the hands of the half-elf girl, and the little spiders that followed them were strung into several strings like strings of sugar gourds, and then nailed them to the wall.

The inner city is dangerous, but that's relative to the average adventurer. But Jenn is not an ordinary person, in terms of swordsmanship alone, he has already stepped into the middle of the legend, and it is only a matter of minutes to deal with these demon hunting spiders. Not to mention that he's also the son of a demon king -- it's not just a title. The son of the demon king is a high-level demon race, and he can naturally sense all inferior monsters, although these demon hunting spiders are the best at stealth attacks, but for Jenn, he is almost equivalent to playing games on the full radar map, and knows where these monsters are hiding. In this case, it was not at all troublesome or difficult for Jenn to find a way forward to destroy this demon hunting spider. On the contrary, those demon hunting spiders were unlucky, they had no idea that they had already changed from hunters to prey, and as a result, Jenn was killed by three strikes and five divisions. The rest of the demon hunters also seemed to sense that this prey was not easy to deal with at the moment, so they stopped coming to reinforce them, and then quickly left--these monsters were fierce, but they were not fools. The other side kills their kind like chopping melons and vegetables, and if you don't know it's a tricky guy yet, unless they're as stupid as a goblin. In fact, if not to disguise his identity. Jenn only needs to restore his form as a demon to make these guys retreat immediately. In the lower realm, the reverence of the inferior demons for the higher demons is absolute, if Jenn restores his original form. Don't let these monsters get out, even if you let them be your own subordinates, there's nothing wrong with it.

But Jenn didn't do that, firstly, he was unwilling to reveal his identity in front of Tilis, and secondly, he felt that there was a demon hunter in the depths of this royal city, and that was one of the relatively tricky guys in the lower realm. If Jenn regained his true body, then the other party would definitely be able to detect his breath. The low-level demons are in awe of the high-level demons, but the high-level demons kill each other, in case the mother of the demon spider thinks that he is a fragrant piece of Tang monk meat that can be upgraded, then things will be much more troublesome. He didn't think that his control over the Demon Hunting Spider would be higher than that of the Demon Hunting Spider's Mother.

But even so, Jenn noticed that the Mother of Demon Hunting Spiders, located in the depths of the royal city, seemed to be a little agitated, and Jenn had already felt it crawling back and forth several times in a row, as if it was sensing something. It seems that it has also sensed the aura of the ancient evil, but it is not sure if it is planning to escape or do something else now.

But it has nothing to do with Jenn.

In fact, they had now bypassed the corridor on the second floor of the palace and ran down the stairs towards the garden on the left side of the first floor. Every royal city must be built with the possibility of being surrounded and attacked, and this place is no exception. Of course, like every royal city, there are entrances and exits for the royal family. However, Jenn didn't think about it, because judging from the situation he sensed, that secret passage had long since become the warm home of the Mother of Demon Hunting Spiders.

As for the matter of killing himself and sending him to the door, Jenn naturally won't do it.

Under the leadership of Jenn. The three of them soon came to the entrance of the garden. Just walk through the garden to reach the exit of the royal city and leave this ghost place.

But...............

As a result, I still didn't get anything.

Looking ahead, Jenn and Aina figured. Tillise only felt a tingling in her heart. Every time, as a priest. She is well protected by others, and it is always others who stand in front. But she can only be responsible for the kind of work that guides the way. While Tillise knew it was important for an adventuring team, she also wanted to be able to heal her teammates' injuries and protect them like a normal cleric. But she couldn't do any of this, because the silver saint she believed in was not good at it, but at that time, Tilis could at least help her companions out of danger, but now here, where she was most needed, she couldn't do anything.

Although Jenn had told them not to use any spells or magic, in fact, since just now, Tilis had secretly prayed more than once, trying to ask her goddess to give her the strength to lead everyone out of danger. But she couldn't do anything, and no matter how much Tilis prayed, she couldn't get any answer. This made Tilis feel extremely frustrated, although as a low-level priest, Tilis couldn't feel the favor of the Silver Saint Maiden in the first place. But before, she could still feel the breath of the gods, but this time, Tilis couldn't feel anything. The silver saintess seemed to have completely departed from her.

Why, why didn't the gods answer my prayers? Is it because my faith has been shaken?

Thinking of this, Tilis couldn't help but shudder. Truth be told, after she saw her companions possessed by the Holy Spirit, Tillise did waver and doubt the belief in the gods, who she thought would unconditionally protect every child of light, would do such an evil thing as forcibly descending on them. It's like a person who believes that his relatives are the best children in the world, and suddenly discovers that his ideal family member will actually commit crimes. At that moment, Tilis only felt that her faith had been completely subverted, and she was even a little afraid, the sun god Amunla would do such a thing, so as a believer of the Silver Holy Maiden, would she also suffer the same situation?

Thinking of this, Tillith even panicked a little. She was still a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, although she had been in the adventure group for a long time, and had seen many life and death. But after all, he is still young. As for her, she didn't want to die like this. Even if it's for a noble goal. The thought of dedicating her body and her life to this made Tilis uneasy.

Could it be said. Is it precisely because such an idea blasphemes the faith that the silver saint has abandoned her?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, unlike Jenn, in Tilis's mind, faith was very simple, just as she thought that all gods would unconditionally and mercifully protect all the people of light, in Tilis's view, the so-called faith is the unshakable worship and devotion to the gods. It's like all the devout believers recorded in all historical myths, although the content of the stories is different. But the ending is almost always that of devout believers who are willing to sacrifice their own qiē to pray for the call of the gods in order to defeat evil or protect their companions. In Tillith's simple faith, this devotion is the yardstick by which a believer is religious.

In fact, before today, she had simply thought that if the members of the "Fairy and the Treasure Chest" adventure group were in danger, she would also sacrifice her own qiē to save her companions, just like those legendary heroes. And then her deeds will be passed on like those heroes before her, which is an innocent and beautiful dream for Tilis.

But not until after seeing it for yourself. For the first time, Tilis began to face up to her inner weakness, and it was then that the girl realized that she did not seem to be as strong and determined as she thought. This thought overwhelmed Tillise because of it. She belonged to the kind of person who was judged in her heart to be unwavering in her faith, not the heroic figure she dreamed of who could sacrifice a qiē for her companion and then be praised and sung.

Could it be said. The saint saw through my weakness, so she stopped paying attention to me?

Come to think of it. A huge sense of loss enveloped Tilis, and it was the first time she felt so lonely. She has lost the favor of the Holy Maiden, so naturally the church will not be able to go back. And the "Fairy and the Treasure Chest" adventure group has also been completely finished, for a moment Tilis only felt at a loss, the world is so big, but there is no place for her, she doesn't even know where she should go and what to do after leaving here. She was no longer a priest, and as an adventurer, she had little fighting power, so what could she do after that?

"Tillise?"

And at this moment, Aina's voice sounded, pulling Tilis back to reality from her contemplation, and the girl looked up, only to find that she did not know when she had left the royal city with the two of them, and was now standing on a wide street. Several corpses of what appeared to be some kind of monster could be seen all around, and Jenn stood on the stone steps not far ahead, wiping the blood from the blade of his sword as he stared ahead. It seemed as if there had just been a fierce battle here, and to Tilis's surprise, she didn't even notice it.

"What's wrong with you? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

"No, nothing, Aina."

Tillise shook her head at her friend's inquiry. Then she hesitated for a moment, then looked at the half-elf girl beside her and asked.

"That......... Aina? ”

"Huh? What's up? ”

"Have you ever wondered what we're going to do when we get out of here?"

"Do what?"

Aina seemed surprised by Tilis's question, and she just looked at Tilis with her eyes wide open. Looking at her reaction, Tilis felt a little puzzled.

"Don't you have the slightest idea? Aina? The Captain and the others are probably dead, and the 'Elves and Treasure Chests' adventure group has been disbanded, and now it seems that there are only two of us left........."

"What, so Tillise are you bothering about this little thing?"

Hearing Tilis's inquiry, Aina shook her head.

"What's so difficult about this, as long as you follow the master?"

"The host............... What do you mean......... Mr. Jenn? ”

Faced with Aina's answer, Tiliss was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the "master" in her mouth meant Jenn. To be honest, when she heard Aina's reply, Tilis was also moved in her heart. Indeed, although they did not spend much time together, Jenn made a very good impression of Tilis, erudite and modest, gentle and kind to her and Aina. She still didn't know why Aina called Jenn her master, but she was sure that it would be nice to be able to follow him. But.........

"But......... I have lost the favor of the goddess, and now I can't even use my holy arts, so what's the use of me like this? ”

"Gee, what's there to worry about?"

Hearing Tilis's lamentation, Aina chuckled, and then she reached out to wrap her arms around the girl, and whispered in Tilis's ear.

"Don't worry, Tillise, as long as you trust your master with all your heart, you will be able to find the path you hope for again. Trust him, give him all the qiē, and then you won't have to worry about anything..............."

"Trust him............ Give him all the qiē ..............."

Hearing Aina's words, Tilis muttered to herself. If someone else had said that in her ear, then Tilis might have been a little resistant. But now, by her side is her best friend and the only one she can lean on, so Tilis isn't too wary. Not only that, but she also felt that Aina's voice seemed to have a soft, seductive charm that went straight to the bottom of her heart. The heart that was beating violently because of her uneasiness just now gradually calmed down, and at this moment, the clarity in the girl's eyes gradually disappeared, and in her brain, only Aina's voice gradually echoed.

"Trust him............... Give him all the qiē ..............." (to be continued......
