"Squeak!"

Zhan raised his head and happened to see a demon-hunting spider jumping down from the ceiling and rushing toward him with its mouthparts wide open. Zhan raised his sword without hesitation, and then saw several sword lights.

Passing through the air, the huge demon-hunting spider exploded in the next moment. Aina also bent her bow and arrowed at the same time, and her fingers moved slightly, accompanied by the sound of "swish, swish, swish", and counted several times.

The arrow just flew out of the hand of the half-elf girl, stringing up the little spiders following it into several strings like candied haws, and then nailed them to the wall.

Although the inner city is dangerous, it is compared to ordinary adventurers. But Zhan is not an ordinary person. In terms of swordsmanship alone, he has already entered the middle of the legend. It only takes a few minutes to deal with these demon-hunting spiders.

Things. Not to mention that he is the son of the Demon King - this is not just a title. The son of the Demon King is a high-level demon and can naturally sense all inferior monsters. Although these demon-hunting spiders are best at stealth attacks, for Zhan En

In other words, he is almost like playing a game with a full radar map, knowing all the places where these monsters are hiding. In this case, it is not easy for Zhan to eliminate this demon-hunting spider and find a way forward.

It was not troublesome or difficult. On the contrary, those demon-hunting spiders were in bad luck. They had no idea that they had turned from hunters to prey. As a result, Zhan killed them all in two cuts. And the rest of the hunters were killed.

The demon spiders also seemed to realize that this prey was difficult to deal with, so they stopped coming for reinforcements, and then quickly left - these monsters are ferocious, but they are not fools. Killing their kind is like chopping melons and vegetables.

This would be a troublesome guy unless they were as stupid as goblins. In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of concealing his identity, Zhan would be able to immediately make these guys stay away as long as he returns to his demonic form.

.In the lower world, the awe of the higher demons by the lower demons is absolute. If Zhan returns to his original form, let alone telling these demons to get out, there will be no problem even if he makes them his subordinates.

But Zhan didn't do this. Firstly, he didn't want to reveal his identity in front of Tiliss. Secondly, he felt that there was a mother of demon-hunting spiders deep in the royal city, which was considered relative in the lower world.

One of the troublesome guys. If Zhan recovers his true form, then the opponent will definitely be able to detect his aura. The low-level demons are in awe of the high-level demons, but the high-level demons will kill each other in case of a demon hunt.

If the Mother of Spiders thought that he was a delicious piece of Tang Monk meat that could be upgraded, then things would be much more troublesome. He did not think that his control over the Demon Hunter Spider would be higher than that of the Mother of Demon Hunter Spiders.

But even so, Zhan also noticed that the Demon-hunting Spider Mother located deep in the royal city seemed a little anxious. Zhan had felt it crawling back and forth several times in a row, and it seemed like it was sensing something. It seemed that it

I also noticed the aura of the ancient evil thing, but I don't know if it is planning to escape or do something else.

But this has nothing to do with Zhan.

In fact, they have now bypassed the second-floor corridor of the royal palace and ran down the stairs towards the garden on the left side of the first floor. Every royal city must consider the possibility of being surrounded and attacked when it is built, and naturally there is no such thing here.

Exception. Of course, like every royal city, there are entrances and exits exclusively for the royal family. But this Zhan En did not consider it, because judging from what he sensed, the secret passage has now become the mother of demon-hunting spiders.

A warm home.

Naturally, Zhan En would not do anything like asking for death.

Under the leadership of Zhan En, the three of them quickly reached the entrance of the garden smoothly. As long as they passed through the garden, they could reach the exit of the royal city and then leave this ghost place.

but……………

In the end, I still didn't finish it.

Looking at the figures of Zhan En and Aina in front of her, Tilis could only feel the stinging pain deep in her heart. It was like this every time. As a priest, she was well protected by others and would always be others.

Standing in front, but she can only be responsible for guiding the direction. Although Tilis also knows that this is very important for an adventure team, she also hopes to be able to heal her teammates like an ordinary priest.

Injuries, protective work for them, etc. But she couldn't do these because the Silver Saint she believed in was not good at this aspect of magic, but at that time, Tiliss could at least help her.

Her companions were out of danger, but now here, where she was needed most, she couldn't do anything.

Although Zhan En had warned them not to use any magic or divine spells, in fact, since just now, Tilis has secretly prayed more than once, trying to ask her goddess to give her strength and lead everyone out of danger. But she

But she couldn't do it. No matter how hard Tilis prayed, she couldn't get any response. This made Tilis feel extremely frustrated. Although as a low-level priest, Tilis was originally unable to feel the silver saint's attention.

.But she could still feel the breath of the gods before, but this time, Tilis couldn't feel it. The Silver Saint seemed to have completely left her.

Why, why does God not respond to my prayers? Is it because my faith has been shaken?

Thinking of this, Tilis couldn't help but shudder. To be honest, after she saw her companions being possessed by the Holy Spirit, Tilis did have some shakes and doubts about her faith in gods. Those who she originally thought would be unconditional

The gods who protect every people of light would actually do such evil things as forcefully descending upon them. This is like a child who firmly believes that his loved ones are the best in the world, but suddenly discovers that his ideal family members can actually commit crimes.

The behavior was the same. At that moment, Tilis felt that her faith had been completely subverted. She was even a little afraid that the sun god Amon Ra would do such a thing. So, as a believer of the Silver Saint, would she also do the same?

Encountered the same situation?

Thinking of this, Tilis even panicked. She was still a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she had been in the adventure group for a long time and had seen a lot of life and death, she was still young after all. For her,

, she didn’t want to die like this. Even if it was for a lofty goal. The thought of dedicating her body and life to this made Tilis feel uneasy.

Could it be said that the Silver Saint has abandoned her just because such thoughts blasphemed her faith?

The more Tilys thinks about it, the more she feels that this is possible. Unlike Zhan, in Tilys' mind, faith is very simple, just like she thought before that all gods will unconditionally and benevolently protect all people of light.

Similarly, in Tilis' view, the so-called faith is unshakable worship and devotion to gods. Just like the devout believers recorded in all historical records and myths, although the content of the stories is different, the endings are almost the same.

It is those devout believers who are even willing to sacrifice everything to pray for the call of the gods in order to defeat evil or protect their companions. In Tilis' simple belief, this kind of dedication is the yardstick to judge whether a believer is pious or not.

In fact, before today, she had simply believed that if the members of the "Fairy and Treasure Chest" adventure group were in danger, she would sacrifice everything she had to save her companions like those legendary heroes.

Then her deeds will be praised like those heroes before her. For Tilis, this is an innocent and beautiful dream.

But it wasn't until she witnessed it with her own eyes that Tiliss began to face the weakness deep inside her heart for the first time. Only then did the girl realize that she was not as strong and determined as she had imagined. This thought made Tiliss confused.

Because in this way, she belongs to the kind of person who has unstable beliefs deep down in her heart, rather than the heroic figure in her dream who can sacrifice everything for her companions and then be praised and sung.

Could it be that the Saint has seen through my weakness, so she no longer pays attention to me?

Thinking of this, a huge sense of loss completely enveloped Tilis. It was the first time that Tilis felt so lonely. She lost the favor of the saint, so naturally the church could not go back. And "The Goblin and the Treasure Box"

"The adventure group has been completely finished. For a moment, Tiliss 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 or what she should do after leaving here. She

She is no longer a priest, and as an adventurer, she has no fighting ability. What can she do after this?

"Tillis?"

And at this moment, Aina's voice sounded, bringing Tilis back to reality from her meditation. The girl raised her head, and was surprised to find that she had followed the two of them out of the royal city without knowing it, and was now standing on a road.

On the wide street, several corpses that looked like some kind of monster could be seen all around, and Zhan was standing on the stone steps not far in front, wiping the blood on the sword blade while staring ahead. It seems that here

It seemed that a fierce battle had just occurred, and what surprised Tiliss was that she didn't even notice it.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

"No, no, Aina."

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

"Um...Aina?"

"Hmm? Something?"

"Have you ever thought about what we should do after we leave here?"

"Do?"

Faced with Tilis' question, Aina seemed surprised. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Tilis. But looking at her reaction, Tilis felt a little confused.

"Don't you have any ideas? Aina? The leader and others are probably dead. The 'Fairy and Treasure Chest' adventure group has also been disbanded. Now it seems that only the two of us are left..."

"Ah, so Tiliss, are you worried about this little thing?" Wuyou Novel Network did not skip words.

After hearing Tilis' question, Aina shook her head.

"If this is difficult, don't you just need to follow the master?"

"Master... you mean... Mr. Zhan?"

Facing Aina's answer, Tilis was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the "master" in her mouth refers to Zhan. To be honest, when she heard Aina's reply, Tilis was moved deep in her heart.

. Indeed, although they did not get along for a long time, Zhan made a very good impression on Tilis. He was knowledgeable, humble, gentle to others, and was very kind to her and Aina. Although she still doesn’t know how to care for Aina.

Zhan En called his master, but for sure, it would be a good thing if he could follow him. But...

"But... I have lost the favor of the goddess, and now I can't even use my holy magic. How can I be useful like this?"

"Oh, is there anything to worry about?"

Hearing Tilis' lament, Aina chuckled, then she stretched out her arms to hug the girl, and then whispered in Tilis's ear.

"Don't worry, Tilis, as long as you believe in the master wholeheartedly, you will be able to find the path you want again. Believe in him and leave everything to him, and then you don't have to worry anymore..."

"Believe in Him... and leave everything to Him..."

Hearing Aina's words, Tilis murmured to herself. If someone else had said this in her ears, Tilis might still be a little resistant. But now, she is the best person by her side.

Her friend was also the only person she could rely on, so Tiliss didn't have too much vigilance. Not only that, she also felt that there seemed to be a soft and seductive charm in Aina's voice, reaching straight to the bottom of her heart.

. Her heart, which had been beating violently due to uneasiness, gradually calmed down. At this moment, the clarity in the girl's eyes also gradually disappeared. In her brain, only Aina's voice gradually echoed.
