The Celestial Tower is very troublesome. From the day they became the public enemy of the world, they split up and hid underground.
Most of their members are Spellcasters. There are Priests, Druil, Mages, Warlocks, Witches and Witch Doctors. Regardless of the race, Spellcasters are rare and precious.
Thousands of years of secret inheritance gave these Spellcasters sufficient strength and connections. In this world, strength and connections can easily be exchanged for authority, not to mention the help of Divination Magic.
The most dangerous aspect of the Celestial Tower is that their members are usually hiding in the upper echelons of the humans and elves. Even among the members, they only use codenames. No one would know which member is hiding before they go crazy, making them extremely secretive and hard to guard against.
A bunch of venomous snakes hiding by one's side, ready to bite one at any moment. No matter how one thinks about it, it sends chills down one's spine.
After realizing that I am being targeted by the Celestial Tower, even though it is already deep into the night, I still rush out of the door without hesitation.
I understand them. If the spies that I have recently are their eyes, this bunch of troublesome people doesn't know the meaning of restraint and moderation. The failure of the investigation will only cause them to take risks out of desperation. Thus, rather than waiting for them to come knocking on my door, I might as well take the initiative to attack.
But the moment I step out of the door, I remember a small problem …
"Harloys, whose Celestial Tower ring is this? Sniff it and find it for me!"
"Sniff … Sniff your sister, I am a cat, not a dog. No, I am not a cat either! It is all your unfilial disciple's fault! "
Alright, looking at this stupid cat who keeps biting my finger, I don't want to remind her that in front of my Titan Body, her claws and teeth are unable to break through my defense.
"Heh, how can you belittle yourself. The potential of a Cat Alien is limitless and they can conquer the world. Alright, stop biting me. I am not joking. I will get straight to the point, I added a new function for you previously. "
"New function? No wonder I have been feeling weird for the past two days. I will fight it out with you! "
"Sit down! Hand Hand! "
Harloys immediately sits in a dog position before sticking out her tongue and extending her cat paws. This is one of the new functions, specially prepared for the Queen of Banshees who is getting more and more disobedient.
"Wuwuwu, you are too much. I have already agreed to work together with you. I am already in this state because of you, how can you still treat me like this? No matter what, I am still your teacher!"
The tearful Cat Alien looks exceptionally pitiful. Diana and Kolos who are the spectators are filled with sympathy. They even start glaring at me, the cat abuser.
"Stop grabbing me. Have you forgotten our magic pet contract? Your emotions can be transmitted to me. Do you think I don't know if you're really crying or not?"
Alright, the next second, the tears stopped flowing. The black cat's face actually showed a contemplative expression. After a while, it sent me a message.
"Alright, the next, The Cat Alien My, her, I, can give you. As long as you promise to help me take revenge on two people, no, two Gods, until they fall, I will obediently become your pet, dedicating all of my strength and knowledge to you. I can even transform into a physical body to serve you in bed. Although I have never touched a man before, my techniques are definitely not inferior to the Dark Elves. "
Even though it is a flirtatious topic, even though it is in the form of a cute cat, the endless hatred towards the Gods has turned into a tangible black fog. The hatred and venom in her words and eyes are still so terrifying.
Even though Kolos and Diana didn't hear anything, they instinctively raise their weapons in defense. Perhaps, this cursed black cat that brings misfortune is the true form of the Queen of Banshees as an Undead.
Time brings endless power and knowledge to a person. Even though she fell into my hands by accident, she was unable to make a comeback. I have never dared to underestimate Harloys. It is precisely because I dare not underestimate her that I unhesitatingly used the once-in-a-lifetime Magic Pet Contract to forcefully bind her to my side. I definitely believe that if I am not around, she can turn the entire Underground World upside down by herself.
"You don't have to talk about serving me in bed. I am not Beifeng, nor am I an idiot who will be fooled by a fake physical body. Two Gods? Tell me who it is first before I can consider it. If you tell me that it is Aillé and Roland, I will definitely not be able to deal with them. Naturally, I won't agree to it. "
Harloys mentally spits out two names and stares at me expectantly.
If I am not mistaken, they are both True Gods of the Elven Faction. One is already on my list of long-term targets, while the other is an old acquaintance of mine. Since it is convenient for me, I can make this deal.
"So it is the former Guardian God of the Elves. Should I say that traitors are more hated than murderers? Fine."
"Great, it is settled then."
"Hm? Don't we need to sign a contract? "
"Keeping promises is one of your few strong points. Since you have agreed, it is more effective than any other contract … If we really sign a contract, I will be taking advantage of you, and I will still have to worry about you finding loopholes and going back on your word."
It seems that she really understands me. The latter half of her sentence is the main point. Perhaps it is the mysophobia of a lawyer. I am indeed a mysophobe when it comes to promises that I personally make. However, if it is a forced or obviously unfair contract, I will most likely go back on my word. (In modern civil law, contracts that are obviously unfair or forced can be canceled. However, in this world, Roland conforms to the current mainstream of society and sets a contract that cannot be canceled.)
"Alright, I will write it in my log. Now you can rest easy, right? Hurry up and fulfill the duties of a pet dog."
This time, Harloys didn't retort. Instead, she excitedly somersaulted and obediently sniffed the ring in my hand. After a few seconds, this stupid cat fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong? Your current sense of smell should be a special magical sense of smell. It is at least twice as strong as that of a typical police dog. Have you still not noticed? "
After a while, Harloys finally raised her head with a hesitant expression.
"… There is only a burnt stench, I can't smell anything at all."
This time, it was our turn to stare at each other. Thinking about that burnt corpse, it is only natural that she couldn't smell anything. But soon after, Harloys suddenly ran towards the courtyard.
"I remember that there is still a cloak of his."
Alright, volunteering to work and being forced to serve are two completely different things. Two minutes later, we had another companion. Casio, who was almost bored to death, volunteered to go with us. Considering the hunting and tracking abilities that a Centaur Archer should possess, I didn't reject him.
"Wait, if Casio goes, I will go as well."
Someone volunteered to join us, but we tried our best to ignore him.
"In terms of tracking ability, a Beast Tamer is definitely much stronger than a pure Archer. There is no one in this city that I can't find. "
"What do you want?" This fellow might seem honest, but in reality, he is exceptionally cunning. Furthermore, he is the classic example of someone who wouldn't wake up without benefits. How could he possibly volunteer?
Beifeng nods his head.
"That cloak that can transform into a rat, it should be the legendary Sewer Cloak."
Alright, I really don't want to ask anymore, nor do I want to think about what he intends to do with that cloak. If it wasn't for the fact that time is of the essence, I would have already started beating him up.
But considering that a Beast Tamer is indeed skilled in tracking, what he said is the truth. I can only temporarily suppress the urge to beat him up in my heart and feign civility with him.
Just as I was about to agree, the excited Beifeng blows a silent whistle, as though he has come to a conclusion from my expression. In an instant, a few stray dogs run over, a few rats crawl out of the underground pipes, and even an owl descends from the sky.
"You bastard, you win. Deal … Wait, I don't need it anymore."
Not far away, two tattered carriages are parked in an alley. A few black-clothed men are stealthily moving haystacks down from the carriages. At the corner of the Church, there is already a small pile of haystacks and a black-clothed man is lighting a fire. However, perhaps due to the strong wind at night, he failed to light the fire several times. Now, he is angrily throwing the match on the ground and stepping on it.
There is a spellcaster who is obviously maintaining a concealment magic. But even if he is able to conceal it, I can still see him from my position.
Looking at that unlucky fellow, I can't help but think of a rumor. It is said that due to offending the God of Fate too thoroughly, the God of Fate, Catio, who wields both luck and misfortune, placed a malevolent curse on this cockroach-like organization. As long as one joins this organization, the system of karma will be activated and they will forever be at the lowest point of their lives.
Under normal circumstances, if one's luck is bad, it is easy for them to fail in their tasks, stepping on dog poop or getting bitten by a cat while walking, so it is fine as long as they are careful. However, if they meet my Halo of Plague, un, it should be called the Halo of Broom now. Those whose luck is worse than mine will cause a series of accidents, and this kind of misfortune becomes fatal. In the end, all misfortune will turn into unlucky opportunities.
"What are you waiting for? Get rid of this bunch of unlucky fellows."
Alright, other than that Mage, this bunch of unlucky fellows who came to burn down the Church of a True God are just the lowest level pawns, so they are dealt with in an instant. Then, under the furious Beifeng's interrogation, our destination is clear.
"The temporary station is the royal family's astrology platform? That really suits their identity. But, since they are able to use the royal facilities, there is a certain Emperor who is unwilling to lose face just like that. "
"Why don't we reconsider."
Considering this point, Diana, who has been getting closer to Renée and the others recently, hesitates. If we were to anger the Ottoman Emperor once more, given that we are currently in the territory of the Ottoman Empire, it is one thing for us to escape, but the envoy from the Donglan Principality will be implicated as well.
"This should be his way of probing us. If we were to cower and show our fear, he would only become more vicious in the future. Since he is playing according to the rules of the shadows, naturally, we have to follow suit. If he stretches out his hand, we will chop off his hand. If he stretches out his claws, we will chop off his claws. At the very least, we have to make him feel pain. Besides, the Mist Bloodline … "
"The Mist Bloodline never fears a challenge. They are here for us, so how can we cower? Cowering will only make the villains even more savage. "
It seems that the battle outside the city walls has attracted the attention of the people in the Church. The Royal Knight escorts Kelly and Renée out. Renée's words make me nod my head slightly.
However, what she says next causes Kelly and the Knight to pale in fright.
"I want to go too. Big Brother Rolande, didn't you say that the battlefield is always the best classroom? You also said that I am in dire need of actual combat experience."
"Nonsense, you are just causing trouble for everyone. More importantly, you are courting death." Kelly immediately berates her, hoping that Renée will give up on the idea of risking her life.
It is indeed nonsense. I can't help but burst into laughter. We are a bunch of Legend-rank and Gold-rank pinnacle warriors. What is an Iron-rank rookie like you joining in? A stray bullet would be enough to kill you. Accumulating battle experience isn't something that can be done so easily (Someone has completely forgotten that he is only Bronze-rank).
"I am already 14 years old. Legend has it that Prince Roland went to the battlefield at the age of 12. I have had enough of this fake Knight Princess title. I want this glorious title to live up to its name. If I can't even deal with such a small situation, how am I going to go on the battlefield in the future?"
Even when facing the berating of her family, the young lady bit her lower lip tightly. Although she didn't say a word, her face was filled with stubbornness. It is obvious that she isn't willing to give up just like that.
I look over. Renée's legs are still trembling slightly. However, the Roland Sacred Sword by her waist is emitting a dazzling silver light, as though it is acknowledging her choice.
"'The Roland Sacred Sword is the sword of the legendary Saint Knight Prince Roland. Only his descendants and inheritors of the Will are able to obtain the acknowledgement of this Sacred Sword.' Inheritors of the Will? "
At this moment, I inexplicably recall the conditions to use the Roland Sacred Sword. I recall that 300 years ago, it was because of my father's death in battle that Cavendish and I were allowed to go to the battlefield. Recalling that the past of the girl in front of me is shockingly similar to mine, I smile.
"Inheritors of the Will? Alright, keep up, don't fall behind. Kelly, just like back then, some people are fated to be unable to be nurtured in a greenhouse. However, Beifeng! Protect her well. If anything were to happen to her, your cloak will be gone. "
Ignoring the Beast Tamer who was overjoyed by my words, I also apologized to the worried Kelly in my heart and took the lead to lead the way.
"Damned leftovers, let's settle the interest of the past first."
Once again, the System jumps out and furiously rewards its existence.
【Special Quest: The inheritance of the will of the legendary Saint Knight Roland has been triggered. During the completion of the Epic-tier Quest: Revival of the Mist, one-third of the Fate Points that you obtain from killing enemies will be transferred to the wielder of the Sacred Sword, Renée. You can use the Fate Points to strengthen her. System Notification: The completion of the Special Quest is directly related to the completion of your Epic-tier Quest. As long as Renée dies in battle, or she loses the Roland Sacred Sword forever, both of the quests will fail … However, after becoming a girl, you can consider becoming a real princess. You will definitely be more powerful than Renée.】
"I definitely won't fail! Before I die, Renée definitely won't die! "
Alright, my unhesitatingly roar and declaration of protection rouses the morale of the Knight, but it also causes a certain princess to blush.
