"Thank you for the hard work, Master Klein."
"Thanks to Master Klein for repelling the leader, the Headless Horseman, the undead's attack has slowed down."
Klein returned to the rear camp, and the people she rescued greeted her one after another. With a smile on her face and a slight nod, she entered the city gate and returned to the Holy Light Church.
Returning to the room arranged by the nun, she took off the sword and placed it next to the wall. Then she walked to the bed and sat down, recalling the battle with the Headless Horseman.
As expected of an elite cadre in the underground world, even if she lost her head, she was still a formidable opponent. She almost used all her strength, but she could only repel the opponent.
But how did the female monk blow her head off?
The man with the strange staff and his companions all gave her a strange feeling.
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in."
She opened her eyes and saw a little nun in her teens standing at the door, looking at her with longing eyes.
She was already used to this kind of gaze.
"It's so late, is there something wrong?" She smiled as she was used to it.
"Lord Tassie wants to see you."
"Taxi?" Klein seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember it for the moment.
"Well, Master Taxi is a high-ranking knight of this church, and he is as young as you."
After hearing the little nun's introduction, Klein finally remembered that she had met this Tassie at a meeting last year. At that time, she specifically found her and introduced herself enthusiastically, but she didn't pay attention.
"Did she say why she was looking for me?"
Overly fanatical followers usually only bring her trouble. If not necessary, it is better to keep a distance.
This is the profound experience she summed up as she advanced on the path of Paladin.
"She said she has important news for you." The little nun tilted her head and thought for a while before saying.
Is this another unclear excuse?
Klein held his forehead and shook his head slightly.
She had heard this rhetoric hundreds of times from different people who wanted to see her.
"Sorry, I'm very tired today, tell her I've rested."
"Okay, please take a good rest."
The little nun left, and Klein returned to bed, thinking about how to destroy a few bone towers outside the city tomorrow.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the corridor outside the door.
Klein listened carefully and heard the voice of the little nun just now.
"Lord Taxi, wait, don't disturb Lord Klein's rest."
In addition, there were the sounds of footsteps, large and small.
Her brows furrowed.
Is that paladin named Taxi so persistent?
There was a knock on the door.
"Lord Klein, the high-level paladin Taxi has important information to report."
Klein sighed slightly.
"Come in."
Taxi opened the door and entered the house, followed by a little nun who looked at a loss.
"Master Klein, I'm sorry, Master Taxi, she...I..."
"It's okay, you can go back and rest."
As if she had been granted absolution, the little nun once again left the room and closed the door behind her.
"Thank you for saving me on the battlefield today. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have become an ugly undead creature."
"Is this the important information you're talking about?" Klein sat on the bed, looking at Taxi, frowning slightly.
"Uh, no, I just wanted to say thank you first."
"Then let's talk now."
Taxi said seriously: "Do you still remember that when you rescued us, there was a young man with a red French stick nearby?"
It's him? The man who refused to team up with him.
Not only that time, but later when she was fighting the headless horseman's body, the man and his teammates were also nearby, but they just watched and did not help. Of course she doesn't need help.
"I have an impression, what's wrong?"
"Actually, before the undead outside the city appeared, I was monitoring him."
Surveillance?
Klein was a little surprised and motioned for Taxi to continue.
"The first time I noticed that man was in the Holy Light Cathedral. At that time, I noticed that he had a trace of the undead aura on him, so I followed him out secretly."
Klein's eyes narrowed. The breath of the undead?
"I followed him until he entered a pub called The Emerald."
Taxi suddenly lowered his head with a look of shame on his face.
"I'm ashamed to say that when I stared at the door of the tavern, a strong sense of fear grabbed me like a spider catching its prey, causing me to lose the courage to enter the tavern to investigate..."
Hearing this, Klein somewhat understood.
"You want me to investigate that tavern?"
But she had new doubts.
"You didn't report this to Father Rapp?" Father Rapp is the administrator of this church and is responsible for the development of the Holy Light Religion in Castalon. Taxi should report to him, but she came to find herself.
Taxi'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 just focus on my practice, but he didn't give a specific reason. I couldn't let go of my doubts, so I still went to the tavern every day to monitor it, and I found Maisel, the bartender of the Adventurer's Guild. I went into that tavern several times, so I approached her.”
"When I asked Ms. Maisel about the tavern, even though she tried her best to hide it, I still noticed her uneasiness. She must be hiding something from me."
"There is also a suspicious rumor about that bar. It is said that whoever finds it can taste the best wine, which seems to lure people to deliberately search for it."
"Which pub is easy to find?"
"No, it's on the busiest street in Castalon, but not everyone notices its existence."
Although Klein doesn't drink, she is becoming more and more interested in the mysterious tavern that Taxi mentioned. She has decided to go there and have a look before leaving the city tomorrow.
"Besides, with your help, the other survivors and I successfully retreated into the barrier. While resting in the camp, I heard something strange that concerned me, and it was also about that man." Tasi continued.
Klein listened quietly.
"At that time, a large number of ghouls invaded the interior of the barrier. The leader among them, the most powerful ghoul, happened to run towards the man's location. After seeing him, he actually walked away from him."
After a brief silence.
"Okay, before leaving the city tomorrow, I will accompany you there to have a look."
…
Early the next morning, the two came to Uladaha Long Street. The usually busy street became very deserted, and only patrol knights were seen wandering on the street.
Tasi stopped on the street and pointed to the yellow wooden door across the street.
"That's it, can you see it?"
Klein stared at the ordinary-looking yellow wooden door, nodded solemnly, and then walked over.
"You can stay outside and wait for me."
"I'll go in with you." Taxi followed quickly.
The door was pushed open.
Linger looked at the door and was a little surprised to see Celia and Leila walking in together.
"Hey, why did you bring your sister here?"
