Volume 1

Chapter One

The Kingdom of Norton is a large country located in the east of the Grand Continent.

The most developed here is magic, so the Norton Kingdom is also known as the Magic Kingdom, and the capital of the Norton Kingdom, Santirio Fosno, has gathered almost all the powerful magicians on the Grand Continent, so it is also Known as the capital of magic.

However, the story begins with a small city on the border of the Kingdom of Norton...

……

Alainias is the name of the Goddess of Water in the Grand Continent, and at the same time, it is also the source of the name of this small city on the edge of the coast.

Because it is located in the **** east of the mainland and connected to the sea, the safety of this city is very reliable. Therefore, the upper echelons of the kingdom have not interfered with this land much.

Therefore, Alenias is a small city with a prosperous economy and a large population that has never suffered war for hundreds of years.

……

Lilith looked at the sky, and the blue sky had already begun to turn towards the setting sun. It seemed that she should be able to reach Alainias before evening.

This year is the year of worshiping the gods, so, as the holy priestess of the Church of Light, she must go to various places in the mainland to pray to the gods of light. The object of prayer today is the goddess of water.

The priestess is the core member of the Church of Light, and at the same time, everyone is a young girl in the cardamom age. As the successors of the first saintess, each of them inherited part of the power of the first saintess.

The priestesses with the power of the first generation of saintesses have the most powerful demon-repelling ability in the world. As long as they use this power, almost no dark **** can match it. Therefore, the priestesses have always been regarded as their greatest by the Church of Light The trump card is also the most powerful hole card.

Because the holy priestesses have powerful demon-repelling powers, they often travel to and from various parts of the mainland to carry out demon-repelling missions.

Having said that, I have to mention the purpose of Lilith's coming here. On the surface, Lilith's purpose was to go to Alainias to sacrifice to the gods. In fact, her real purpose was to check the status of the demon god's sealing circle.

The existence of the Demon God is actually unknown, and the current human beings basically do not know the existence of the Demon God except the royal family and the high-level members of the Church of Light.

In ancient times, there was an earth-shattering battle between gods and demons in the world. In that battle, the demon clan lost to the light god clan. The defeated demon gods were sealed in the lower realm by the gods of light, and their souls were firmly sealed, while the god of light handed over part of his power to the humans in the lower realm (such as the first generation of saints), and then ascended to the realm of gods, No longer meddling in the affairs of the human world.

Because the God of Light no longer intervenes in the human world, the maintenance of the seal is in the hands of Lilith and other priests of light. Once there is an abnormality in the seal, Lilith will report it to the first-generation saint, and the first-generation saint will pass it on through prayers. To the gods of light.

The seal of the Demon God is located in the outskirts of the city of Alainias. In that forest, there is a group of ancient ruins. There are buildings and various ancient items that do not know when they existed. The demon god's sealing array exists there.

……

"Don't run!"

"stop!"

"Ah... so annoying..."

Whispering, Jim looked back, only to find that the number of people chasing him suddenly doubled.

Facing a team that had expanded several times in size, Jim was ashamed.

"Why did so many people suddenly appear!?"

Even Jim, the notorious thief known far and wide as Alainias, couldn't help but be surprised by this number.

Not long ago, Jim and his little brother took some things from the jewelry store in the city as usual. After being discovered, Jim and his accomplices fled in a panic.

In the process of escaping, Jim's younger brothers were all caught by the defenders in charge of public security, and this time he was the only one who escaped.

"And why are there so many scouts on the road!?"

Speaking of it, this neighborhood seems to be a restricted area.

It is said that this forest is the ruins of ancient myths, there are a large number of ancient heritages, and there are mysterious existences unknown to ordinary people.

Similarly, mystery also symbolizes danger. A long, long time ago, this part of the area was blocked, and, no matter what year it was, the garrison in Alenias City always sent one-fifth of its men to patrol here.

Maybe... Those extra notes are the garrison here?

While Jim was thinking this, he found that the garrison kept cursing in the distance, and at the same time stopped. Taking a closer look, there is a white line on the grass at the foot of the garrison. To put it a bit exaggerated, it seems to be a part of a taboo enchantment.

"...I have come to the restricted area?"

Thinking Jim ran into the cave like this.

……

in the cave.

First of all, the depths of the cave were pitch black, with only a faint light source near the exit.

Jim, who was completely exhausted, walked swaying, and then, as if he had found a life-saving straw, he collapsed, leaning against the wet rock near the exit, panting heavily.

After such a long chase, Jim was exhausted physically and mentally.

"Huh, but at least it's okay for the time being."

Breathing stabilized, and then Jim began to pay attention to everything around him.

subtle……

subtle feeling...

Although the cave is somewhat damp, it has no cave characteristics other than that.

Why do you say that?

"Wonderful murals, full steps, and not a single bug..."

This is an ancient building like a temple, right? And it's the kind that was billions of years ago.

"That's right, this is our temple and the place where we seal it."

"……Well?"

A voice came from the darkness... Could it be that there is a second person in this cave?

Is it the defenders? No, they shouldn't be afraid to come in.

Who is that?

"Have you thought too much about the garrison? My generation is the demon god Kazakus."

The shadow of a skeleton skeleton appeared in the dark cave.

Startled, Jim paused, and asked in a tentative tone, "...who are you...why did you appear here?"

Claiming to be a demon god, and... this guy can read minds? !

Indeed, if it is an illusory existence such as a demon god, it is indeed possible to read minds and the like.

However, the existence of demon gods and the like has been eliminated in the legends that Jim heard when he was a child. Moreover, living in Alainias for more than 20 years, Jim has never heard of the existence of a "demon god" in today's era.

"...It's not important..." The skeleton replied, and then showed a sinister smile, "The important thing is... the guests who are about to visit this cave."

"How do you say that?" Jim was a little confused.

"Those soldiers didn't dare to enter the barrier because of my existence, but..." Speaking of this, the skeleton changed his tone again, "Those soldiers can't enter, but some people can enter, and they come in and out at will. "

"Who?"

"The lackeys of the Church of Light." Speaking of this, the skeleton seemed to be in a delicate mood. "If nothing else happens, they will send a priestess of light into the cave."

Oh, just a priestess.

What could a priestess do to Jim, eat Jim? Or tickle Jim with the Light Element? (Light magic is basically healing magic)

Besides, Jim is not some undead creature, the one to be afraid of is the skeleton.

Thinking of this, Jim's facial expression eased a lot.

"It's so naive." After reading Jim's thoughts, the skeleton sneered mercilessly, "Now you are an existence that violates the rules, crossed the white line privately, entered the cave privately, and met my generation by the way, and you know The existence of the demon god... you have come into contact with so many secrets, do you still want to live?"

Jim moved his lips, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed what he wanted to say. Indeed, what the skeleton said was right. Jim knew so many secrets, so it was impossible for the garrison and the Church of Illuminati to ignore him. In the best case, he would be sentenced to life or exile by the garrison. In the worst case... just turn around?

"So what should I do?" Jim asked.

Since this guy is a demon god, there must be some way, right?

"I'm sorry, I can't do it even if I'm asked to do it." The skeleton expressed his thoughts directly, "Because the priestess of light will perceive my dark breath, and almost all my power is being sealed now, no matter what I use She will know what kind of means, and she will use up her magic in advance to take precautions. With my remaining strength, it is impossible to fight head-on."

"Then what should we do?" Jim panicked. Since this skeleton can't do anything about that Illuminati member, wouldn't he be finished too.

In other words, it's time to find out if there is a shortcut path in the cave to escape directly?

"Hey hey..." Skull suddenly laughed, "Haven't you noticed? I said before that the priestess of light can sense me, but you are an ordinary person, and you don't have a dark breath on you, so she can't sense you Ah. I just need to stand far away and walk back and forth to attract her attention, and then you sneak up on her, isn't that all right?"

"Good idea!" Jim exclaimed.

Indeed, this way the priestess could be easily dealt with with minimal risk.

Thinking of this, Jim picked up a slightly larger stone from the ground, weighed it, and then walked to the exit of the cave.

"stop."

Jim stopped and looked at the skeleton curiously.

Does it have to order anything else?

I saw that the skeleton walked up to Jim, and handed a long and pointed bone spur to Jim.

"Take this to deal with her." The skeleton showed a strange smile.

With a confused face, Jim took the bone spur, and then threw down a stone like a brick. He looked at the bone spur curiously.

Indeed, this bone spur was sharp enough, but a stone of that size should be enough to knock down the priestess, so why did you deliberately replace the weapon with a bone spur? Moreover, in terms of instant lethality, it is more efficient to use a blunt weapon to attack directly, right?

However, when Jim was thinking, the skeleton had already hidden deep in the cave. Helpless, Jim had **** but to start looking for a place to hide and prepare for a sneak attack.
