Chapter 47 The Dark Night


    The heavy rain is like turbulent, and lightning is lightning and thunder are roaring.


    “Room!”


    Hearing the thunder sound from outside, the trainee priest who was cleaning the temple suddenly shuddered.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Aware of the white face of the apprentice, the nun beside him looked at her uneasy, while the apprentice smiled bitterly.


    "I, I''m just afraid of thunder..."


    As he spoke, the trainee priest lowered his head embarrassedly.


    "Don''t worry, this is the monastery of the goddess in the lake."


    Looking at the appearance of the apprentice priest, the nun also reached out and patted her on the shoulder.


    "The goddess in the lake is protecting us, so there is nothing to worry about."


    “But, but……”


    Speaking of here, the trainee priest looked out the window with some anxiety.


    "I heard recently that there are traces of necromancers nearby... I''m a little worried..."


    “…………”


    Hearing the trainee priest''s words, the nun next to him fell into silence. For those of them who have no combat power, praying for the protection of the goddess is the only thing they can do. But, when will this last?


    “Dong———!”


    At this moment, suddenly, the door of the temple behind them suddenly opened. When they heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw a tall black shadow walking in. He was wearing a huge cloak, covered in pitch-black armor. On the helmet with a hideous and strange shape, his eyes emitted a bright red light.


    "Who are you!?"


    Seeing this scene, the trainee priest and nun were shocked and hurriedly took two steps back. Then they saw the terrifying knight spread his right hand and lifted his cloak. Then, a white-haired girl in gorgeous clothes, like a noble lady, walked out of it. She just raised her head, looked at the two of them, then withdrew her gaze and stood quietly beside her.


    "May I ask...the two are..."


    Perhaps the appearance of the white-haired girl calmed the two of them for a while. The nun hesitated for a moment, and still stepped forward and asked with some trembling fear.


    “………”


    The black knight pointed to his chest, and it was not until this time that the trainee priest and nun saw that there was a Holy Grail mark on his chest. Seeing this mark and feeling the breath of the goddess in the lake above, the two were also shocked and hurriedly lowered their heads.


    “King of the Holy Grail!”


    "No need to be so troublesome."


    Facing the salutes of the two, Duanmu Huai waved his hand.


    "I''m just here to get something...Who is the administrator of this monastery? I need to talk to her in person."


    "Ah, I''ll call Dean now!"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the nun was stunned and hurriedly answered, then quickly turned around and left the temple. The trainee priest hesitated for a moment, then took out a pair of handkerchiefs from his pocket and handed them over.


    "That... Knight, please wipe the rain..."


    "It''s okay, this armor is waterproof, don''t worry."


    Duanmu Huai rejected the kindness of the intern priest and then looked around.


    "After that being said, your garrison is really weak. On my way here, I didn''t even see a guard."


    "Why?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, the trainee priest tilted his head in confusion.


    "Is that so? But I remember there are many guards in the monastery. Did everyone go to hide from the rain because of the rain?"


    "Um?"


    Hearing the apprentice''s answer, Duanmu Huai''s eyes flashed, and then he looked around again. The next moment, the box behind Duanmu Huai opened, and then the skull flew out of it.


    "Ah——!"


    "Chi, Lord Knight, what is that...?"


    “………”


    Duanmu Huai did not answer the question of the intern priest. He quickly glanced at the map that appeared in front of him, and his face changed.


    "Not good! Come with me!"


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai held the hammer tightly and rushed out of the temple, with Ojisi following closely. Only the trainee priest was a little at a loss, but he still followed.


    Passing through the temple and coming to the aft courtyard of the monastery, there was a dead silence here at this moment. Only the sound of rain echoed in the corridor, and the rain flowed down the eaves like a waterfall, as if the entire monastery was flooded with water, and there was a dark area everywhere around, almost nothing could be seen.


    "What, what''s going on?"


    At this moment, Duanmu Huai and Aojisi came out. Seeing the scene in front of him, the trainee priest was also shocked. She remembered that when she went to the temple to clean the house just now, the lights were still on in the nearby rooms. However, now, the surroundings are pitch black and there is no sound...


    Duanmuhuai walked forward with great strides, then pushed open a nearby door. Under the white searchlight, there was no one inside, only an extinguished oil lamp was placed on the table, and there were a few clothes next to it, as if the owner of the house was temporarily out.


    "Where are people?"


    At this moment, the intern priest also saw the situation inside. She didn''t bother to express her shock at the glowing thing next to Duanmu Huai''s head, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.


    “Where is the dean?”


    "Okay, it should be in her own room..."


    “Lead ahead!”


    “Ah, it’s…!”


    At this moment, the intern priest also understood that the situation was urgent and hurriedly walked forward, while Duanmu Huai and Aojisi followed her. They walked through the dark corridor with only the sound of rain and came to the other side.


    "It''s this, from here, it''s the dean''s room...!"


    The trainee priest turned his head and said to Duanmu Huai while walking. However, just as she turned the corner, she suddenly hit someone. The trainee priest raised his head and saw that it was not someone else there, but the nun who had just separated from him.


    "Ah, here, it''s great, where are you all going? Where are the deans?"


    Seeing his acquaintance, the trainee priest breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly. But what the trainee priest didn''t expect was that the nun who would always respond to his smile on weekdays, but he did not answer at this moment. Instead, she let out an ambiguous roar, then suddenly lowered her head, biting at the trainee priest like a wild beast!


    "Why?"


    This scene was too unexpected to the apprentice''s priest. She didn''t even react to what was going on. She just stared blankly at the other party''s mouth suddenly cracked, and her sharp teeth mixed with **** breath rushed towards her - the next moment, her eyes suddenly turned black.


    “Clang!”


    Duanmuhuai reached out and blocked the apprentice''s priest, while the nun''s wide open mouth bit his power armor, and a large piece was broken. Then Duanmu Huai grabbed the nun''s head with his back hand and hit the wall hard. Then he saw that the nun''s head was smashed like a watermelon, and blood mixed with brain matter scattered everywhere. However, even so, the nun did not give up. Instead, she raised her hands and grabbed Duanmu Hui again.


    At the same time, Duanmu Hui had reached out to take out the war hammer.


    "Dong!!"


    Accompanied by the lightning thunder, the nun flew backwards with smoke from the next moment, and there was no movement.


    "This, this, this..."


    All this in front of me was so sudden that the trainee priest didn''t know how to face it. However, Duanmu Huai did not give her time to think carefully, but just grabbed the trainee priest and walked directly to the end of the corridor, then pushed open the door - he saw that blood was splattering everywhere inside, but no one could see the body.


    “Woo…ah……”


    At the same time, there were bursts of painful wailing sounds in the passage. Everyone turned their heads and saw dozens of shaking figures appearing behind them, blocking the three of them.


    "What I hate the most is this kind of plot development!"


    Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai couldn''t help but complain and held the hammer tightly.


    "Hey, are you ready? We''re going to break through!"
