Chapter.5 Visitor II

The female knight with long dark red hair stared at the erratic kerosene lamp, lost in thought. Her name is Modesty, and it has been more than ten minutes since she stepped into this cave. However, during this period, in the dark cave, except for the bats that occasionally flew overhead, she never saw other living creatures. Thinking back to the low-level magical beasts encountered along the way that could be split in two with just one blow, Modesty became more and more confused.

Where the hell did Bev go?

Modesty thought quietly in her heart.

Most of the people who have reached the third-level strength in the mainland's general evaluation ranks are strong with one against ten, and Modesty is no exception. As a third-tier female knight with the capital city of Anmat, Modesty never wastes time on trifles. This time the operation has a clear mission - to track down the goods stolen by the Magic Association. Not long ago, the cargo carriage of the Magic Association was attacked by unknown forces, and the cargo was also wiped out.

During the urgent meeting held in Amati City, Mrs. Oloni sat silently at the far right end of the conference table, her beautiful face covered with dark clouds.

"The goblin lair of this generation has been cleaned up by Modesty, right?"

The speaker was a third-order female knight named Michelle. She had beautiful short blonde hair and a very charming figure. Even in the city, many people pursued her.

"Hmm... I just met an ordinary bandit, right?" Bev speculated, a young apprentice knight, "If it's just a bandit, Bev can solve it by herself."

Beve is the latest young girl to join the Knights. She is from the same Grand family as Modesty, and she is young and very energetic. Although Bev's swordsmanship is lower than other members of the Knights, she has magical talents beyond the reach of ordinary people. His gift is the most special among all people.

In the mainland's dual-god system, the gods also have corresponding genders. The gods with the power of light are all goddesses, while the gods who control the power of darkness are all male. This rule has also been left among the believers of the two forces. Only the female believers of the Goddess of Light can obtain the favor of the gods, that is, [gift]. And male believers of the dark god can get the corresponding [evil curse].

The power of [Gift] comes from pure light divine power, while the power of [Evil Curse] comes from the dark divine power of chaos. Both can bring extraordinary powers to the worshipers of the gods. As small as increasing physical strength, as large as changing the real space, there is no doubt that this is a miracle brought about by divine power.

Bev is one of the recipients of [Gift]. Under the blessing of the gods, she has the power to grant short life to inorganic objects, and she can even turn the grassmen in the training ground into immortal soldiers to move according to her commands. Even the well-informed Mrs. Oloni has never heard of this special ability of caring. In her heart, this power is at least the domain of magicians above the fifth level. And Bev, who had obtained this rare [Gift], was naturally invited to join the Knights.

The cargo theft case was entrusted to Bev by the Consul Mrs. Oloni. But afterwards, Modesty was not at ease, she knew this eccentric little sister too well. If you don't pay attention, it is likely to make her into a big disaster. Therefore, after the meeting ended, Modesty followed Bev's footsteps all the way to the jungle to assist her in completing the mission.

"No matter what, the footprints left by Bev indicate that she has entered here." Modesty said to herself, "I should find her as soon as possible."

As the female knight moved forward, the road inside the cave became narrower and narrower. Sometimes, Modesty even had to squeeze her body wearing fine chain soft armor bit by bit against those damp stone walls. past. Modesty is very confident in her figure, and it is true, even if she is wearing cold light armor, it does not hinder her actions at all.

Modesty raised the coal lamp in her hand. The faint light brought by the burning coal lamps dimly illuminates the stone wall. It has a peculiar pattern on it.

"The story of Gaia, the creation god?" Modesty tilted her head in doubt. In her education, this taboo legend was often mentioned.

It is said that Gaia, the creator god, created this world and the first human male and female. But he did not share his great power with the first two people in this paradise.

The two gradually became hostile to the god who created them. One day, the woman found the man and conspired to usurp the power of the gods. Although the man has malicious intentions, he does not intend to act. So, the woman acted alone, taking advantage of the weakest day of the seven days, to kill the god.

A large amount of divine power fell from the sky with blood rain. The woman stood in the rain and looked up at the sky. She obtained the purest and most powerful power among them, that is, the divine power of light. However, the men who did not participate in the plan gained the darkest and deepest dark power of God, that is, the dark power. This is how the first god of light and the first god of darkness were born.

Of course, this story was deemed by the church as a man-made tampered story, so it was included in the taboo. Modesty also didn't believe this story at all. She didn't think that such a beautiful goddess of light would gain supreme power by killing gods and blood.

Ignoring the content on the mural, Modesty continued to move forward. Before long, she came to the end of the cave.

Just when Modesty didn't know where to go, a familiar figure gradually emerged from the darkness.

"Huh?" Modesty frowned. She immediately became alert, and put her finger on the hilt of the saber, "Who is it?"

And at this moment, the coal lamp was blown out by the dark wind as if by chance, and the outline that had gradually become clear just now was swallowed up by the darkness again.

Although it only passed by for a moment, Modesty was very familiar with that petite figure.

"Are you... Bev?" Modesty asked suspiciously.

"Modesty... sister..."

"Bev...?"

That figure came from the darkness, but it jumped into Modesty's arms.

"Sister Modesty...it's so dark here, Beve is so scared..." Beve snuggled into her arms, rubbing against the soft armor, sobbing.

The person in the dark is the target of Modesty's follow-up this time - Bev.

"Huh, it's okay, Bev, I'm fine now." Modesty had a gentle smile on her lips, stroked Bev's soft hair, and asked, "About the reason why I'm here, just a little bit." Explain later. Bev, can you tell me what you found?"

"The creatures who looted the goods are goblins. They are now active in the space in this gap." Bev nodded, pointing to a corner of the stone wall, and carefully checking that there is indeed a gap for people to pass through.

"Goblin!" The appearance of those short and despicable green creatures appeared in Modesty's mind. Not long ago, she set fire to a goblin lair along the way. Unexpectedly, those cunning guys still have the last habitat.

"This time, I must kill them all."

"Sister Modesty...they..." Beve tugged on the corner of Modesty's clothes, "The goods stolen by the Magic Association are a batch of rare ores. Now, this batch of goods is in their hands. But... goblins are dangerous."

"It doesn't matter, with my third-level strength, those green-skinned beasts are no match for me at all."

After leaving this sentence, Modesty walked towards the direction Bev pointed.

The girl watched Modesty go away, but a strange red light flashed in her eyes.

……

Passing through the gap, Modesty found a wide road hung with a row of torches not long after. It seems that the goblin's lair that Bev mentioned is here. Thinking of this, she walked forward quickly, and her boots stepped on the stone surface, making a crisp sound. Finally, at the end of the road, she saw a fire, around which a group of goblins sang songs in strange languages. On the side of the fire, there were rows of open wooden boxes, which seemed to have been turned over many times.

"How dare you treat precious ancient cultural relics like this!" Modesty burst into anger in her heart, she stepped forward quickly, and the blade drew a brown-green trail with her right hand out of its sheath. The heads of the goblins were separated by Modesty's blade like tofu. They landed quickly from the air, and after rolling aside, those short bodies sprayed with a lot of brown-green blood fell to the ground. Some corpses even fell headlong into the blazing fire. There was a stench of burning.

Modesty covered her mouth and nose, and cast her gaze towards the wooden box. She walked quickly to the wooden box and knelt down halfway, and opened it. As Bev mentioned, here is a batch of rare ore.

Close the door of the box. At this time, Bev also came to Modesty. She squatted down lightly, with two soft little hands encircling Modesty from behind.

"My lord...thank you for coming to rescue Bev." The girl's face was flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito, "If there is no sister Modesty, I don't know what will happen."

Hearing this, Modesty's expression also softened, and she stroked the two little hands around her waist, "You don't have to thank me, Bev. Isn't it my sister's duty to protect my sister?"

"Yeah." Bev blushed for her immaturity, nodded slightly, but hugged her hands even tighter, "Sister Modesty..."

"Okay, Bev." Modesty asked gently, "Did you find anything else in this cave?"

"Hmm..." Bev blinked her dark eyes, as if thinking of something, "By the way, the demons seem to be planning to attack Amati City. Sister Modesty, should we go back immediately?"

"The demons will attack Amati City?" Modesty showed a puzzled look.

"Yes. This attack on them has been planned for a long time." Bev nodded.

"Why, you know the plan of the Demon Race?" Modesty turned her head and stared at Beve quietly, her bright yellow eyes seemed to be able to see everything.

"Ah... this..." Beve stared blankly at the puzzled Modesty, opened her mouth, and organized her words in a panic, "Sister Modesty, this plan is... from the goblin Heard it there!"

"But this group of goblins has nothing to do with those demons, right?" Modesty's expression became even more puzzled.

"They... they were bewitched by the demons!" Bev gestured with her hands in a panic.

"Is that so..." Modesty thought for a while, and then took Beve's hand, "Beve, I think we have to go back quickly."
