"Pastor Dora, those guys seem to be the lord's private soldiers..." The militia leader watched from a distance the two soldiers wearing half-armored armor guarding outside the temple, with a rather ugly face.

Following the mysterious death at the Oak Hotel, the female priest from the Earth Temple also came to him and demanded the rescue of the orphans kidnapped by a group of unknown people.

"Are you going to stand by and watch?" Dora asked calmly.

"This..." The militia leader was in a dilemma.

Save people, there is no good ending when you fight against the lord.

If you don’t save me, I will rely on the blessings of this pastor after the harvest of the village.

"It's not that I don't save you, but... the lord's private soldiers are famously domineering. If they report this to the lord, our small village will be over."

"Forget it, I know you don't have that courage." Dora was about to return to Bere Village to invite a few courageous adventurers when she saw the warrior who had just found her, and there was a man with a burly figure similar to him.

"Pastor Dora, we can help you rescue the orphans from the lord's private soldiers." Hawke explained his purpose. If it weren't for being hunted by the lich, he and Reina would definitely have received this commission that could make a small profit. The temple has always been generous, and even a simple task of finding things can get more commissions than the nobles.

"Oh, how much reward do you want?" Dora stared at Klein. Although it was not as exaggerated as the lich before, this person also had evil spirits.

"I don't need a penny, but the premise is... you have to help you with that seal... well, re-enforce it. Compared to living people, I'm more afraid of the one below."

"Yes." As soon as he heard this condition, Dora immediately agreed.

It is worth it to exchange for seven lives with a seal without much effort.

"Then... Commander?" Seeing that the priest agreed, Hawke turned his head and looked at Klein.

"You stay here." One is because Hawk is in the way, and the other is because he wants him to be optimistic about the priest. After Klein finished his explanation, he crawled into the waist-high bushes, and his figure quickly merged with the darkness around him.

"Dark Elf..." Squinted his eyes and stared at the direction where Klein disappeared, Dora's alert was slightly relaxed.

In recent hundreds of years, dark elves have been continuously infiltrated into the southern continent, and some remote places have even seen strongholds of dark elves. Her disgust for this clan is far less than that of lichs.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

The temple is very small, and both the architectural format distribution and the paintings and reliefs on the walls exudes a rural atmosphere. Compared with the magnificent buildings of the big city, it can be summarized by the word "simplicity".

The two lords standing guard did not notice the dangerous approach at all.

A breeze blew across the branches, bringing a faint smell of blood. The private soldier standing on the left turned his head with a surprised expression.

The moment of lightning flashed, the attack that was too fast to react was over before it was noticed.

It was not until the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground that the private soldiers on the right realized that their companions had been cut off their throats. Before the scream could be heard, a slightly warm hand blocked the fear that was about to vent.

In the blink of an eye, two corpses were already lying on the ground.

The militia who were watching from afar were all stunned and almost forgot to breathe.

Dora frowned, and as soon as she stepped on one foot, Hawk, who was standing behind her, immediately spoke.

"Pastor, you can't save people when you go in at this time, but you will harm them."

Reason grabbed her other foot, and she took a deep breath without moving a step further.

The wooden latch on the window next to the door was lifted open, and a black shadow quickly penetrated, closing the half-open window, and completing the action in one go, as if the window had never been opened.

A few shouts came from the quiet temple lobby from time to time, accompanied by the cry of the children.

The demon sneaked in the shadows, silently. Before the smell of blood penetrated the closed door, he took everything in the lobby into his eyes.

"It seems like there is a sound..."

The sound of two companions falling to the ground outside the door alerted the three private soldiers guarding the hostages.

"Go and have a look."

It seemed that the little leader had a beard and nodded at the shortest man beside him, signaling him to check what was going on outside.

The little man in leather armor stepped forward on tiptoe, and just as he turned his eyes to the keyhole, Klein, who was hiding in the shadow, seized the opportunity to attack. The flying dagger shot directly through the mouth of the sender, nailing him to the wall painted with mortar.

"Fuck..." The private soldier next to the beard witnessed the death of his companion at close range, and warm blood splattered his head and face. In amazement, he had only had time to curse. The upper half of his head, which maintained a shocked expression, broke away from his body with a white glimmer of light. The curse and strange water sound alarmed the small man who was trying to look out through the keyhole. As soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of vertical pupils that were as bright as blood.

"Chachi."

A very simple sound of bone breaking ended the life of the last kidnapper. His struggle before his death pushed open the closed door, and then slowly softened into the pool of blood of his companions.

Wrapped in a cheap gray cloth cloak, Klein returned with a light cat-like pace.

Hawke's eyes widened, as if he had seen the demon for the first time.

Unlike his previous long-lasting impression, he seemed to have become a different person, emitting the same dangerous aura as a lich as a lich.

If other dark elves are as elegant and swift as leopards, then the one in front of them is as wild and domineering as a lion, and the strong murderous intent is coming to his face as if concrete, making people breathe.

"You shouldn't have made bloody killings in front of the child." Dora couldn't help but scold her even though she knew that the other party would not take her words seriously.

"The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and frost. Covering their eyes and covering their ears will only make them die faster. It is better to face the cruel reality early, so that they may live longer." Klein disagreed with the female priest's scolding. His eyes swept across the militia and Hawke, who were still in a dull state, and made an invitation gesture: "The mission has been completed, please abide by the agreement."

※※※※※※※※※※※※

The ruins of Togus are still lively during the day, and adventurers can be seen everywhere.

Following Klein, who was striding forward with his head held high, Hawke's mood gradually became anxious as he approached the Tower of Shadow.

"Captain, what are you going to do next?" The base has been destroyed. When the female priest saw it, she knew that the lich had almost escaped from it?

"I have my own way." Hidden in the cloak is self-confidence that cannot be seen.

Soon, the black pedestal entered the sight, and some adventurers surrounded the tunnel entrance, facing the dark stairs, no one dared to be a pioneer.

"I knew it would be like this..." When she noticed the existence of the adventurer, Dora's expression changed from calm to anxious. Just as she accelerated her pace and passed Klein, the sudden dizziness made her limbs weak and her body that fell back was caught.

The warm breath climbed upwards along the neck, causing the scalp to feel numb. Without looking at Dora, she knew who the guy holding her from behind was. She yelled in anger: "Let me go."

"If I hadn't helped you with kindness, you wouldn't have been so energetic and loud with me."

"Save it!" Dora was shocked and angry when she felt the hand that was originally against her back began to move toward her waist. She was about to use her magic to shock the other party, but unexpectedly, the unrestrained dark elf took the lead. Weibing's lips and tongue with a faint bloody smell disrupted the truth and thoughts.

Hawke opened his mouth wide in surprise.

This guy is too bold, he actually teased the priest?!

In surprise, I quickly watched around, but no one noticed attention. The heart I had just let go of was raised again with a "bang".

Dora fell softly to the ground, her eyes wide open, maintaining a shocked expression.

"What's wrong with her?" Thinking that Klein had killed the priest, Hawke hurried forward and looked into his breath, and was still angry.

Still alive...what did this guy do to her?

From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Klein, but found that his tongue, which was licking his lips in a gluttonous shape, was covered with strange patterns. He was about to take a closer look, but his blood-red eyes cut over with a warning chill.

"The lich has said the rules. If you don't want to die, don't care about things beyond your ability."

Hawke hurriedly changed his sight and secretly complained in his heart that it was indeed a monster, and even his tongue was completely different from that of humans.

"Um..." Covering his forehead, the female priest moaned and sat upright, looking at the person beside him with blank eyes.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Pastor... are you okay..." Feeling Rudao's eyes falling on him, Hawke handed over the commentary to Klein.

"Seal, have you forgotten?"

"But... the children... the lord's private soldiers..." The memory was a little confused, Dora covered her forehead.

She remembered that the lord's private soldiers broke into the temple and threatened several orphans she adopted. If they did not help them enter the Shadow Tower, which was guarded by the temple, they would kill seven hostages.

"Don't worry, I've solved the problem with the private soldiers." He helped up the female priest with a confused look on her face, and a few strands of silver hair that slid out of the cloak made Dora retract her hand and took a few big steps back.

Dark Elf?

She looked at the strange and familiar man, unable to remember when she had seen him.

"Don't you remember? I'll take the task of helping you drive away the lord's private soldiers and escorting you to the Shadow Tower, and the reward is ten gold coins."

"I don't remember." With a cold face, Dora took a few steps back: "Don't get close to me, you evil guy."

"That's a pity. Since you don't want to pay, we have to break up here." After expressing our regret with a shrug, Klein snapped his fingers at Hawke, who didn't know what happened: "Let's go, this woman is too stingy and has no money to make."

"Regiment, leader... why did she suddenly forget..." He trotted and followed Klein who turned around and left. Hawke looked back at the female priest who was thinking from time to time. He suddenly realized after he said it.

Is this what Klein promised to the lich to handle the female priest? But... just from the perspective of confidentiality, isn't silence safer?

"Haha..." As if seeing through Hawke's thoughts, Klein suddenly turned around: "This is my special ability. She is no longer a threat. She can also become a shield when necessary."

Special ability?

Looking at Klein, who had regained his ruffian expression, Hawke was a little confused. Which one was the real him?

"Next, go find my other two servants."

The feeling of depression suppressed the doubt that had just risen. Hawke sadly discovered that he had been demoted to servant again from his friend who was originally invited, and his companion whom he had promised. When the moon rises, will this title become a slave...
