The results of the old bishop's divination indicated that the historian called Sandro was currently in the northwest of the Sinless City, near a place called the Ruins Excavation Site, about 50 kilometers away from the city.
Even further to the northwest, there was a huge wasteland known as the Abandoned Ruins of the Gods. It was extremely vast and extended all the way north to the Arctic Ice Fields. There were countless secrets and dangers hidden within it. Even now, humans had not been able to see the full picture of it.
The Ruins Excavation Site was only at the outermost edge of the Abandoned Ruins of Gods. It was considered relatively safe, so it attracted many archaeologists, explorers, and tomb raiders.
Reynolds arrived at the location provided by the old bishop in the evening. It was not in the Ruins Excavation Site, but at the edge of the area, next to a beautiful lake. There was also a secluded grove and a villa nearby.
Someone had actually built a villa in such a place?
Although it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was pleasant, it was next to the dangerous and mysterious Abandoned Ruins of Gods. Who knew if some monster or monster would suddenly jump out and snatch someone away?
It was also because of the location of the Abandoned Ruins of Gods that even in the faraway Sinless City, the land prices in the north and west were the lowest. Only the poor lived there, while the rich and middle class lived in the south and east.
"There is indeed something fishy. Even I would not live in such a place."
Reynolds found a secluded hillside nearby and squatted down. He activated the divine spell, Insight, and observed the villa from a distance.
As expected, the interior was filled with lush greenery that complemented the scenery outside. This was a cult's stronghold!
"How filthy! How evil! No wonder they are not afraid of the monsters emerging from the ruins, because they are demons themselves! "
"I really want to activate the Heavenly Punishment Sacred Sword and wipe them all out! But no, I am a person who knows my priorities. I have to find out the conspiracy and purpose of these cultists first. "
"I'd better wait for it to get dark and sneak in. Although I am a priest, my skills in infiltration have reached perfection."
Reynolds muttered to himself, lying down on the hillside and taking out his dinner for the day.
Now that his days were better and he had money in his pocket, he could live a little more extravagantly. He did not have to eat potatoes anymore, so Reynolds's dinner today was a sandwich.
It was made for him by the old bishop, not by the kitten. The meat inside was also fried beef, not the meat of the kitten.
Reynolds ate slowly, patiently waiting for the sky to darken. Amia, who had come with him, sat on the ground like a duck. She carefully stretched out her thick fingers, trying to catch a grasshopper hiding in the grass.
After the sky turned dark, Reynolds changed into Cranium Crusher's attire, and instructed Amia.
"I'll go in first. You stay outside and wait for orders. Remember to act according to the situation."
Amia didn't answer. He didn't know if she understood.
Reynolds then walked towards the villa.
However, halfway through, he turned around and looked at Nana helplessly.
It hunched its huge body and curled its arms, trying its best to imitate the tiptoeing manner of humans as it followed closely behind Reynolds.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for orders and act according to the situation?"
Amia's eyes lit up as if she didn't understand.
"Forget it. Since you want to follow me, then watch carefully. Learn well and remember to act according to my mood."
As Reynolds spoke, he cast a few more divine spells on Amia to make her voice softer.
Reynolds had not heard of any other church that had divine spells that facilitated stealth and stealth. He didn't know what kind of divine spell it was, but it was definitely not a healing type.
He didn't know where the old bishop had found it. He felt sorry for the priests of other churches who didn't even know how to sneak around.
Reynolds brought Amia and sneaked up to the outer wall of the villa. With a sudden push of his feet, he leaped over the wall.
Amia didn't know how to jump, so she maintained her sneaky posture. She smashed her head through the wall and tiptoed inside.
The commotion of crashing through the wall naturally attracted the attention of the guards.
"Something's not right."
"Who is it?"
Damn it, I was discovered so quickly. I shouldn't have brought Amia along. She was too big of a target and her movements were too rough.
Reynolds couldn't help but feel regret.
However, the two pike-wielding guards directly rushed towards him and asked in a stern voice, "What are you doing?"
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on private property? "
"Wow! Why is your mule so big? "
"Sigh, since I've been discovered, there's nothing I can do. You forced my hand!"
As Reynolds spoke, he snapped his fingers twice in a row and said in a clear voice,
"Repent of your sins!"
The faces of the two guards instantly twisted. Their eyes gradually became confused. Their bodies were enveloped by a faint white light as they slowly knelt on the ground.
However, a green mist suddenly gushed out of their bodies and confronted the white light.
"Why aren't you willing to repent of your sins and welcome a new life?"
Reynolds said in confusion. He then snapped his fingers a few more times.
The white light on the guard's body suddenly shone brightly, suppressing the green fog in an instant, and the two people's faces gradually became calm and peaceful.
In the next second, their heads suddenly exploded. Yellow, red, and white matter scattered on the ground like a broken dye vat.
"Although you resisted and repented, you still have some awareness. You know that you don't have the face to live in this world and chose to commit suicide …"
Reynolds muttered under his breath.
Although he had successfully taken care of the two guards, the commotion caused was enough to alert the others.
Cries of alarm rang out in the villa.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
"There's an intruder! Prepare for battle! Protect Master Sandro! "
"There are only two intruders … Oh no, there's only one person and a mule!"
Following the cries of surprise, over a hundred guards swarmed out of the not-so-large villa and surrounded Reynolds and Amia in layers.
In addition to conventional weapons such as spears and machetes, some of them were holding heavy crossbows and were even wearing heavy armor!
As everyone knew, heavy crossbows and heavy armor were military-controlled items. They were not something that civilian guards could possess. A normal person would not bring more than a hundred guards with them at all times.
Seeing that Reynolds was a turtle in a jar and could not escape, the owner of the villa, the historian Andrew, appeared on the balcony on the second floor of the villa under the protection of two mages wearing robes and holding staffs.
