The debate over Selly Love's age didn't last long, as the girl with long black hair proved her strength with practical actions. With a giant sword in one hand and a shield in the other, she performed several attacks and defensive moves in a row, looking coherent and pleasing to the eye, at least there was nothing wrong with self-preservation. When the time comes, coupled with some magical skills unique to the Holy Warriors, it should be a good helper when fighting.

While the girls were chattering and asking questions, Henry informed the two paladins who were guarding the door of their identities and intentions, and a few minutes later Kaidon was brought out by one of them. The team quickly grew from three to five, two of whom were good and orderly paladins.

Now that everyone had gathered, everyone briefly introduced themselves and walked towards the entrance of the sewer. Caydon admonished as he walked, "Be careful when you enter the sewers, which has now become a gathering place for evil creatures. According to the results of the investigation bureau some time ago, there are not only a large number of ooze monsters and kobolds, but also signs of human activity, most likely robbers or wanted criminals or the like. ”

"If there really is so much evil breeding inside, why don't the Knights of the Most Zealous Heart send out their men to destroy them?" Selie Leph asked with a puzzled face. She is just an innocent little girl who has been living on a heavenly mountain, and she has no idea how complicated the outside world is.

Looking at the girl's pure eyes, Kaidong couldn't help but sigh and explain: "Hey...... You don't understand, this is the main material plane, and many things are not as simple as you think. First of all. As holy warriors, we have to obey the laws of this country. So you can't use too many people at once. However, the topography of the sewers is particularly complex. If there are not enough of them, it is not possible to conduct a comprehensive search. In short, you have to learn to compromise here, and if you can protect more civilians from evil, you have to make some sacrifices. ”

Selly Love nodded as if she didn't understand. "I understand, when facing evil, we must first choose to protect the weak."

Caton smiled and shook his head. "Looks like you still don't get it. But don't worry, I'll teach you this experience on this trip. ”

"It's an honor to be taught by a powerful paladin like you." As she spoke, she lowered her head and bowed deeply.

The two of them looked at each other when they spoke, and they saluted each other every time they finished speaking, as if they were choreographing a stage play. It made Henry almost laugh. However, considering that the next enemy was really a bit difficult to deal with, he took out the Holy Avenger "Kasomir" from the dimensional bag and handed it to Kaidon.

"This sword was found in the lair of an evil red dragon and is only capable of being held by a pure-hearted paladin. Now I'm entrusting him to you for safekeeping, hoping to be as powerful as he might in the next adventures. ”

"Thom is on top! This is the legendary Holy Avenger! Kaidon recognized the origin of the sword at a glance. He stroked the blade of the sword excitedly, then covered the hilt of the sword with both hands and lowered his hair and swore an oath: "I, Kaidong. Fercon solemnly swore that he would protect Cassomir with his life while in his possession until it was returned to its original owner in its entirety. ”

"I believe that this sword will definitely shine in your hands again. I had a hunch that this mission would be very dangerous. ”

Henry wasn't worried at all that anyone would be greedy for the weapon. Because only the Paladins can use it, and their self-discipline has always been very good. Even if a mountain of gold is placed in front of him, he will not be moved. These guys wouldn't even ask for commissions and loot when they're part of an adventure party, if it weren't for being too rigid. Definitely the best partner for birth and death.

After a few attempted swings, Kaidong hung the sword on the stand behind his back. He smiled confidently and said to Henry, "Don't be careful, with this legendary weapon, even if it is a powerful evil, it will be destroyed." I want you to promise that whoever is behind the ghost will die by my sword in the end. ”

"I'm not as impressive as you. The city of Ascatra is so old, and the sewers are so extensive that I wouldn't be surprised that there are any monsters hiding inside. You know, those blind-eyed priests were able to gain divine magic, and as an experienced paladin, you should know what that means, right? Henry asked with a stern expression. He was going to warn the two new teammates, otherwise he might be in a hurry when he encountered the terrifying creature of the Beholder for the first time.

"Are you sure ?!!" Kaidong had a solemn look on his face.

You must know that in addition to the gods who can bestow believers with divine magic in this world, only some powerful evil creatures such as demon lords and devil dukes have this kind of power. However, according to the detection results of the Heim Temple, this matter has nothing to do with the lower planes, otherwise the Templars would have been sent on a large scale to encircle and suppress it, and they would have spent so much money to hire people to investigate.

In most cities on the surface, demons and demons are among the characters that everyone shouts about. As soon as they appeared, all kinds of priests, holy warriors, adventurers, and armies of the good gods would be dispatched to quickly nip them in the bud. There is no way, every time these guys appear, it will be accompanied by a bloody storm, and the damage caused is too great.

Henry sighed slightly and said, "That's right, when I came, I saw a blind man unleash a zero-level divine technique. So it's best to brace your spirits from now on, because we're going to be up against a very tough opponent who can kill us if we don't make a mistake. Also, you have to be optimistic about Celeph, I don't want such an underage girl to have an accident. ”

Kaidong glanced at the dark-haired girl who was looking around, a little curious about everything, and nodded solemnly. "I will! Even if it is at the expense of myself, I will not let such a young child suffer any harm. ”

The group soon found the entrance to the sewers where no one was around, and as soon as the lid was opened, Ammon covered his nose and exclaimed, "Oh, damn it! What kind of smell is this, it smells ten times worse than the toilet. ”

"It really smells bad. But don't worry, you won't be able to smell it again after an hour, as the stench will temporarily disable your sense of smell. Hyung said in a joking tone. He'd already drilled through the sewers once, so he was the first to jump without even the blessing of the air filtration magic.

Without saying a word, Kaidong jumped down as well. He stood very gentlemanly and caught every teammate who jumped down, preventing dirty water and mud from splashing on the girls. The special care for women in the teachings of the Paladins is vividly reflected in this moment, and it is no wonder that they are always the most popular characters for women in so many adventure stories.

As soon as Selleph entered the sewers, a look of disgust appeared on her face, and she covered her mouth with her hand and muttered, "Dark, filthy, unnatural place." A great evil force exists in this sewer. ”

"That's right, kid, this is where sin breeds. Now I'm going to teach you the first one, and that is patience. Whether you're facing a tough environment or an evil enemy, you'll have to be patient until you get permission from your leader before attacking, otherwise you're likely to put your companions in danger, so keep in mind. After saying that, Caton lovingly touched the girl's hair.

"Patience, I see." As she spoke, she lowered her hand covering her mouth and nodded firmly.

After a little bit of discernment, Henry turned to everyone and said, "We're going along the passage on the north side, and we're bound to get into a lot of trouble along the way, so we're all ready to fight." Also, it's best to take off the emblem of the gods and the emblem of the knights from your armor, and don't use magic unless necessary, I don't want to find a whole bunch of evil monsters. ”

As soon as his words fell, a large blurred green light suddenly appeared in the shadows not far away, followed by a "Wang" sound.

"It's unfortunate that we met so many kobolds as soon as we entered the sewers." Ammon grumbled in a low voice. She had fought these little monsters many times since she was at Baldur's Gate, so she recognized them with just one glance.

"Attack freely and try to settle the battle as quickly as possible."

After giving the order, Henry blessed himself with an "iron mask", and then drew his long knife and rushed forward. He was now an eleventh-level Sword Master, and he didn't need to use spells to deal with low-level monsters like kobolds. The ferocious attack created four or five corpses in just a few seconds, almost one in a second.

After waving the Holy Avenger's head and looking at the head of a kobold, Kaidong turned his head and shouted, "I can't believe that as a legendary mage, you still have such a powerful martial art." ”

"I just recently took a part-time job with Juggernaut, so there's nothing strange about it." Henry replied as he dodged the arrows shot from the darkness.

Although there were not many kobolds in this group, and there were two priests in them who were blessing divine arts, they were still too vulnerable in front of a group of professionals above level ten, and they were slaughtered after only five minutes, and not even one of them escaped.

After the battle, Henry shook off the blood stains on his weapon and said to his companion, "Don't look at it, the smell of blood will soon attract other monsters, if you don't want to fight endlessly, it's best to get out of here immediately." ”

"That's right, our main task is to investigate the Blind Eye, there is no need to make extraneous complications." Kaidong chimed in.

After cleaning the blood stains from their weapons and armor, the group quickly left the spot and walked deeper into the tunnel. A few minutes after they left with their front feet, two huge dung monsters moved their fat bodies and squeezed out of the passage on the other side, opening their mouths to devour the corpses on the ground. After a while, out of nowhere, two trolls and countless ooze monsters came out, apparently also coming for the kobold's corpse.

These monsters ate very fast, and in a short time they cleared the ground, and even the blood stains were licked clean, and there was no sign of a battle at all. It has to be said that the sewers of Ascatra are simply a monster stocking farm, and in addition to the fact that there are not enough of them, there are absolutely complete variety.
