"Argh … Argh …"
The battle was nearing its end.
The battlefield was a mess. The young swordsman had fallen to the ground with lifeless eyes. He was dead. On the other side, the female fighter screamed as she resisted the monsters' final attack. Not far away, the priestess was guarding the female magician tightly. She did not know what to do.
The monsters had completely surrounded them. Only death awaited them …. They laughed hideously and approached their prey.
"No, don't come over …."
The priestess held her staff tightly and prayed to her god in a low voice … But there was no response.
Just at this moment, a bright red flame suddenly flew past her eyes.
It was like a meteor piercing through the darkness.
The bright red trail whistled through the darkness, leaving a dazzling spot of light on her retina. For a moment, the whole cave seemed to be illuminated by the sun. The hot air blew against her face, causing the priestess to hold her breath.
Boom!!
In the next moment, the fireball heavily hit the wall at the side, causing the entire underground passage to shake. Gravel scattered and rolled down. For a moment, it even made people feel as if an earthquake had broken out and the place would completely collapse. However, no one had the time to care about such a trivial matter because the instant the fireball hit the wall, dazzling purplish-black lightning spurted out almost instantly, filling the entire space and mercilessly surrounding the weak and evil creatures. In the blink of an eye, they were turned into pitch-black charcoal.
"…"
The priestess sat on the ground in a daze. She looked at the charred corpses of the monsters in front of her and did not know what to say. She did not even realize what had happened. She just stared blankly at the scene before her. A moment later, the pile of corpses on the other side suddenly flipped over. Then, a female fighter in ragged clothes crawled out. Although her face was still pale and her body was covered in wounds, at least she was still alive.
"Hey, are you guys okay?"
The female fighter stumbled towards the priestess and the female magician. Hearing her call, the priestess slowly stood up.
"I'm fine, but she …. My healing doesn't work."
The priestess was at a loss as she looked at the weak breathing of the magus beside her. But at that moment …
"Kada, kada, kada."
The sound of heavy footsteps came from the tunnel behind them. The priestess froze when she heard the sound, and the female martial artist hurriedly stood in front of them without caring about her own body. Then, they saw a tall man dressed in pitch-black armor, who looked like a knight, walk out of it.
"Yo, you're still alive. Not bad, your luck is not bad."
Looking at the three people in front of him, Fangzheng waved his hand and stretched out his hand. As if sensing his summons, the rubble beside him clattered softly and a pitch-black greatsword flew out and landed steadily in Fangzheng's hand. It was only then that the two finally realized the true nature of the fire they saw just now.
"Excuse, excuse me, did you save us? Sir Knight? "
The priestess asked in a low voice, while Fangzheng shrugged.
"More or less. I just came in to have a look, and then I heard screams coming from inside …. Well, it's just luck."
"Ugh …."
At this moment, the female mage let out a deep moan and twitched in pain. Looking at this scene, the priestess became anxious and restless.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah …."
Fangzheng leaned over to take a look.
"She seems to have been poisoned …. Don't worry, she'll be fine after one round."
As he spoke, Fangzheng snapped his fingers. A beam of holy light descended from the sky and fell on the three of them. Soon, accompanied by the warm holy light, the wounds on the priestess, the female martial artist, and the female magus healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the three of them returned to their original state.
"What, what a powerful divine art!"
Upon seeing this scene, the priestess widened her eyes. She looked at Fangzheng in astonishment, dumbfounded and speechless.
Could it be that this lord is a Holy Knight?
Well, she had to admit that her guess was correct.
"As for that one, he's hopeless."
Fangzheng glanced at the swordsman's corpse not far away. Hearing this, the female martial artist revealed a sorrowful expression, while the priestess remained silent.
"By the way, is it just the few of you?"
"Yes …."
The female martial artist lowered her head and replied dejectedly.
"This is our first time accepting a quest …."
"That's normal. It's common for newbies to be wiped out when they don't have a veteran to lead them in a dungeon."
Fangzheng expressed that this was not the first time he had seen something like this, be it in the game or in the main world.
"Say, what are you here to wipe out?"
"That …. Goblins …."
"It's that thing again. Why don't they die no matter where they go? They're like cockroaches …."
Hearing this answer, Fangzheng rolled his eyes. He remembered that he had encountered a group of goblins in the forest in the main world, and now in this world …. It seemed that goblins were really not good things.
In the future, no matter which world he went to, he would just kill goblins the moment he saw them.
"Forget it, let's leave this place first. As for these goblins …."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his greatsword and swung it forward.
Then, accompanied by a roar, a Fire Dragon rushed into the depths of the tunnel. After a while, a dull explosion and a roar that sounded like a dragon's roar suddenly burst out from inside.
"Done. Let's go."
"Ah …. Yes …."
Watching Fangzheng turn around and leave, the female martial artist and the priestess immediately supported the sorceress and followed behind. At this moment, they no longer had the excitement of their first adventure, only a deep sense of fear, uneasiness and regret.
After leaving the cave, under the guidance of the priestess and the female martial artist, Fangzheng came to a small town nearby …. This place was not far from the city he was previously in, but it was not very close either.
After arriving at the small town, the female martial artist escorted the sorceress to rest, while the priestess went to report to the guild. Out of curiosity, Fangzheng followed along.
Although he did not feel the mutual attraction of Order coordinates from the three girls like he did with Codori, since the prophecy spell was directed to them, it meant that there should be some clues among them. Since the priestess was a priestess, she was a person who served the gods. If he followed her, perhaps he would find some clues?
But for the priestess, this was a little nerve-wracking.
"That, that …. Sir Knight …. Are you an adventurer? What level of adventurer is he? "
"Hmm? Adventurer? There's a level for that? "
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng was somewhat astonished. Could it be that this world was the same as Shield Brave? Did it come with a system?
"Ah, no …. Look at this …."
As she spoke, the priestess took out something that looked like a soldier's nameplate from around her neck.
"Adventurers will register with the guild, and then …. Sorry, I'm only the lowest level …."
"Oh …. I see."
"Aren't you an adventurer, Sir Knight?"
"I'm not yet. But from what you said, being an adventurer is quite interesting."
According to the priestess, the adventurers in this world seemed to have to register …. This was different from the main world. In the main world, anyone who went on an adventure was an adventurer. Even farmers could carry a sword and go out to kill monsters. Mercenaries, thieves, warriors, sorcerers and so on had their own guilds. You could apply to join them, but it didn't matter if you didn't. It was just like how some people liked to join guilds, while others preferred to fight alone.
But that didn't seem to be the case in this world.
After entering the Adventurer's Guild, the priestess went to make a report, while Fangzheng sat in the hall and looked around in boredom. He was currently wearing the armour of Farron's Undead Squad, not the ordinary noble clothes. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look too different from the people here, so he didn't attract much attention.
Fangzheng's eyes swept across the Adventurer's Guild. Then, when his eyes stopped on one of the commissions, Fangzheng's body suddenly trembled.
A bad premonition suddenly emerged from his body, as if he had encountered something bad. He shuddered.
That's it!
At this moment, Fangzheng was very sure that this was the reason the prophecy spell had guided him here!
It's that commission! That commission should be the clue he was looking for in this world!
Fangzheng stood up, walked to the notice board, and carefully observed it. The content of the commission was to eliminate a group of mountain bandits hiding in the mountains. It was said that they were protected by powerful monsters, so they needed a fairly strong adventurer.
It looked like a simple mission, but … only adventurers could accept it?
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng took the commission and came to the counter. Just then, the priestess finished handing over the commission to the receptionist at the counter. When she saw Fangzheng, the priestess smiled.
"Ah, Sir Knight, we were just talking about you ….
"Yes, hello, Sir Knight."
At this moment, the receptionist at the counter also bowed to Fangzheng. She looked a little older than the priestess. She was dressed in a neat uniform, and her brown hair was braided at her side. She looked very kind and gentle.
"When I first heard that they were going to crusade against the goblins, I was really worried. It's great that you were able to save them."
"You're welcome. I just did it casually, but I have a question."
As he spoke, Fangzheng put the commission in front of him on the counter.
"Do I have to become an adventurer to accept this commission?"
"This is …. Please let me see."
As she spoke, the receptionist picked up the commission and carefully examined it.
"Of course, only by becoming an adventurer can you accept the commission …. Aren't you an adventurer?"
"Not yet ….. then becoming an adventurer ….. wouldn't be too troublesome, right?"
If it was like in the Overworld, there would be some sort of examination and such, but Fangzheng didn't mind.
"No need."
Saying that, the receptionist took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Fangzheng.
"Once you fill in this information, you can become an adventurer."
"Oh? That's simple. Hmm, let me see …. "
Fangzheng took the quill and looked at the adventurer's record. On it was the name, gender, age, profession, hair color, eye color, physique, height, skills, spells ….
Wait, what's this?
Looking at the record, Fangzheng was dumbfounded. Why does this look like a character creation form in a game? Normally, one would just fill in the name, age, gender, place of origin and so on ….
And what the hell is with hair color and eye color?
Can I even set up a gold and silver demon eye?
Just as Fangzheng frowned in thought and placed the quill on the paper, he suddenly felt something.
The existence of Order.
That's right. At this moment, Fangzheng could clearly feel that the power of Order seemed to be connected to this form. It seemed that as long as he filled in this form, he would enter a whole new world ….
Wait, in other words, this world also has its own Order, and the Order of this world is operating normally?
What's going on?
As for why filling in a personal information form would be connected to the operation of Order, Fangzheng didn't know. But he was sure that the Order of this world still existed, and it was operating according to its own rules!
If this was an ordinary world, Fangzheng would have no problem filling in this form. But the doppelganger of the Goddess of Order had warned him that the core of this world had been contaminated by Chaos. If he filled in this form, he would be pulled into the rules of Order, and there was a possibility that he would be contaminated as well.
To be on the safe side ….
With this thought in mind, Fangzheng put down the quill and looked at the priestess beside him. Suddenly, his eyes flashed.
So that's the true meaning of prophecy!
"I don't want to become an adventurer, at least not now …. But I want to accept this mission. Is there any other way?"
"Well … .no …."
"Then can't I just go and eliminate those thieves instead of accepting the mission?"
"Of course you can, but Sir Knight, you'll put us in a difficult position …."
"Then …."
With that said, Fangzheng grabbed the female official beside him.
"Let her accept the mission."
"Eh?"
"She's an adventurer, right? In that case, let her accept the mission. I'll go with her. That should be fine."
"Eh — —?!"
Faced with Fangzheng's unexpected suggestion, the receptionist and the priestess widened their eyes in surprise.
