Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

With a flash, he attacked head-on.

At this moment, the eldest lady's slender feet, wrapped in small leather shoes, stepped on each of Lor's feet. To maintain balance, she slightly raised her toes... As a result, the two of them were now face to face, with only a few millimeters between their lips.

Isabella blushed immediately.

At first she didn't think much of it, she was just playing around...but as she played, she seemed to get herself involved again.

However, she did not run away.

Instead, he stretched out his arms and put them around Lor's broad shoulders.

"Don't think too much about it. It's just that it's a little difficult to maintain balance in this posture." She explained her behavior.

"But Miss... your fangs are showing." Lor smiled.

"S-Stop talking nonsense! Your heart is beating faster than ever, you stupid follower!"

...Meimei couldn't understand what they were doing.

But her intuition told her that this was not something she should see at her age, so she consciously raised her two little hands and covered her eyes.

60. My eyesight may not be very good

"Damn it...why is it getting colder and colder?"

The fifth-level exorcist Wolf sneezed suddenly. Even though he was as strong as a bear, he could not bear it, so he quickly used an anti-cold magic on himself.

"Yeah, there's something strange indeed." Mo Lin, a lean man with a gloomy demeanor, frowned slightly. "The further we go, the lower the temperature gets... Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this cold deep underground. This is probably caused by some supernatural force."

Since yesterday evening, the two of them have been following the trail left by Trevant and others, hurrying all the way.

This dark and lightless underground is like a complicated maze. Fortunately, both of them are well-trained and experienced exorcists, and can be regarded as the backbone of the Holy Light Church.

Along the way, they avoided many dangerous traps and monsters, and did not miss any clues left by the enemy. Overall, it went smoothly.

Now, they are very close to the "Dragon Cemetery".

So much so that I began to feel the severe cold brought by Meimei's "dragon breath", which lingered for a long time.

"Stop!" At this moment, Wolfe suddenly became alert.

Ahead, a faint glow of fire appeared.

The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and at the same time used magic to eliminate the sound of their own footsteps, and then suppressed their spiritual power as much as possible, striving to weaken their own presence.

Then, he moved swiftly and silently towards the fire.

"That's a flame created by a mystical spell, and it lasts a long time... probably for warmth?" Mo Lin thought to himself. "There's only one person next to the flame, but he looks a little off, like he's dazed..."

"Benjamin Bane?"

Based on the man's appearance, Woolf quickly guessed his identity.

This is the second-level illegal transcendent who was controlled and taken away by the Duke of Camberley's men and was responsible for leading them!

"It looks like it's been affected by some kind of mind-controlling supernatural power." After approaching, Mo Lin carefully examined it and speculated, "It's not a big deal. It will naturally disappear after a while."

Since Benjamin Benn is here, the Duke of Campbury and Lady Windsor should not be far away.

Moreover, they should not have successfully opened the dragon clan's treasure house and have not left... Otherwise, it is impossible for them to just leave Benjamin Bane here. They should either take him with them or kill him to silence him.

"Let this guy stay here for now. He has a fire next to him, so he won't freeze to death." Wolf said, "Let's keep going."

"Alas." Mo Lin sighed. "Don't you think we're just being reckless? Madam Windsor's strength is estimated to be between the fifth and sixth levels, and the people Duke of Canbury brought with him are definitely all intermediate in strength... It's impossible for the two of us to deal with them alone, right?"

"It's a bit too late to regret now, isn't it?" Wolfe said with a smile.

"I understand." Mo Lin still had a dejected expression. "Time is running out. By the time reinforcements arrive from headquarters, it might be too late... If those people really open the Dragon Clan's treasure house and take out the contents, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So we have no choice but to risk our lives. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we have to stop them from resurrecting the dragon!" Wolf patted his companion's shoulder vigorously. "Relax, brother. I did make a will, leaving all my property to your son! I wasn't lying!"

"Thank you, I feel much more at ease." Mo Lin nodded helplessly.

This is the profession of exorcist.

In order to practice the creed of "salvation and protection", we must always stand at the forefront of fighting danger.

The two of them actually had no idea what was stored in this dragon ruins... However, judging from the attitude of Bishop Helm, it was a dangerous thing that could disrupt the "balance" of the current world and cause a disaster!

Woolf and Merlin were ready to die.

however……

……

A few minutes later.

Amidst the numerous broken dragon bones and icicles rising from the ground, Wolfe looked at the eight corpses neatly arranged before him and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"My eyesight might not be very good, brother, so let me ask you this...are all these people dead?"

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded solemnly.

"Is this the Duke of Canbury?"

"Yes."

"Is this Mrs. Windsor?"

"...What do you think?"

"What on earth... happened in this place?"

Wolf looked around in amazement, and then saw a huge black dragon that had been cut into pieces not far away.

The things they were holding were emitting a foul stench, and they must be the undead creatures created by Lady Windsor.

"You ask me, who am I asking?"

Mo Lin sighed softly, squatted down, and examined the bodies one by one:

"The causes of death for these people varied; two of them froze to death, while the others died of physical injuries.

"It's likely they were attacked by one or more powerful supernatural beings, but it's hard to determine what kind of supernatural abilities the attackers possessed... Also, all their valuables were stolen, which suggests the attackers were probably human."

"Attacker? Who could it be?" Wolfe frowned. "Try using 'Talk with the Dead' on these corpses. Maybe we can get something..."

"It's useless." Mo Lin shook his head. "The souls of these deceased have been purified... The attackers were very cautious. They probably knew we were coming and were well aware of the style and practices of our Holy Light Church, so they deliberately took this approach."

Hearing this, Wolfe folded his arms across his chest.

After pondering for a moment, he made a bold guess:

"Do you think it was someone from our church who did this?"

"It's hard to say." Mo Lin thought carefully for a moment and replied, "There are many ways to purify the soul, and our Holy Light Church is not the only one that can do this."

...In short, this matter is weird in every way.

Wolfe and Merlin had already prepared themselves mentally for death, but they never expected that the Duke of Campbury and others had been killed by a mysterious attacker of unknown identity.

Moreover, these attackers must be very skilled, and there must be at least one high-level one among them!

Apart from anything else, the huge range of ice spells on the scene alone is impressive enough!

"Anyway, it looks like the crisis has been resolved?" Wolfe sat down on the ground. He had been tense all the time, but finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's still not entirely certain," Mo Lin said cautiously. "Whether the Dragon Clan's treasure house has ever been opened remains unknown...perhaps those mysterious attackers have already taken the items inside."

"You're probably worrying too much."

Wolfe waved his hand.

"I've checked. There's a flat stone wall ahead, which should be the entrance to the treasury. The black dragon was quite far away from the entrance, and judging by the traces left at the scene, it didn't even get close to it... So the contents of the treasury must be intact and untouched."

"That's right." Mo Lin was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Unless a second dragon appeared at the scene...

That's impossible.

"However, as to whether this crisis has truly been resolved, our opinion has no final say. It still depends on Bishop Helm to decide," Merlin said.

No, considering the seriousness of the matter, I guess I have to report it to the sages of the Holy City.

I hope I'm just worrying too much.

61. You feel comfortable

15 Oak Street.

"We're finally here—" Lor let out a long sigh, feeling extremely tired.

Strictly speaking, this adventure didn't take too long. From leaving home to returning, it was less than twenty-four hours in total... However, this one-day and one-night experience was really tiring.

Meimei, who was held in Lor's arms, had already fallen asleep with her chin resting on his shoulder.

The doll Roland also looked depressed... However, it was mainly because of the blow brought by the shattered dream.

The only person who still looked energetic was Miss Isabella.

"It's a pity that no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't get back before sunset." After entering the house and putting the sleeping Meimei on the crib in the children's room on the second floor, Lor sighed regretfully.

"Isn't it just one less praise of the Holy Light? What's the big deal?" The young lady curled her lips indifferently, her eyes filled with unconcealable anticipation and anxiety. "Alright, stop sighing and go to bed!"

"You don't understand," Luo Er said seriously. "For a veteran gamer like me, missing a daily mission is a big deal... Every time I see the day I missed on the sign-in page, my obsessive-compulsive disorder kicks in!"

"What nonsense?" Isabella tilted her head, not understanding at all.

"Oh, forget it. I can't explain it to you."

Lor waved his hand helplessly and continued:

"This isn't that simple. As the owner of 'Flowing Light', I must routinely praise the Holy Light once a day outdoors during the day, otherwise I will face severe punishment! Remember what Senior Wolf and Senior Merlin said back then—

"At night, I feel uncomfortable all over, as if there are ants crawling in my heart!"

"Hmm, it seems that's what happened." Isabella also recalled it, and her expression gradually showed some worry. "Then... Lor, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I can't really explain it, but I'm definitely not feeling well. I have this inexplicable sense of guilt, and I feel irritable and anxious, and I have a burning sensation all over my body..."

Luo Er's tone was calm, but in fact, he was really uncomfortable right now. And as time went by, this discomfort became more and more obvious and more and more unbearable.

He even had the illusion that if things continued like this, he would explode sooner or later.

"Don't move, let me show you!"

Before she finished speaking, Isabella placed the back of her slightly cold white hand on Lor's forehead:

"It's indeed a bit hot, like you have a fever... Also, your spiritual power is a bit unstable, and your body seems to be in a state of stress. Your heart rate is erratic, and your blood temperature has increased significantly... For an ordinary person, this is already a life-threatening symptom. Fortunately, you are a Holy Light transcendent, with a physique far superior to that of an ordinary person, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Now that you've said so, I'm relieved."

Lor breathed a sigh of relief.

Also, Isabella's hands were cool and felt very comfortable against her forehead.

It's quite reassuring.

"Hmm? Your symptoms seem to have improved."

Because of the special connection between master and servant, Isabella was very sensitive to the changes in Lor's physical condition. "I see, contact with me will help you recover quickly... Hmm, I guess it's because of our special relationship that our spiritual energy can influence each other... If that's the case, then..."

If we increase the skin contact area, will Lor be able to recover faster?

Like just hugging each other...

She bit her thumb lightly, her mind wandering to other things, and her pretty cheeks gradually turned red with embarrassment.

There's no other way. Taking care of sick relatives is my duty as a mistress!

Thinking of this, she suddenly grabbed Lor's hand and pulled him towards the corridor without saying anything.

"Hey, Miss, where are we going?" Lor asked in confusion.

"Don't ask, just follow me!"

Where to go?

Of course, go to the bed in the bedroom!

This is Meimei's room after all, how embarrassing... Although the child is already asleep, what if she suddenly wakes up and opens her eyes to see me and Lor hugging each other, or even a more exciting scene?

He then forcibly dragged Lor into the bedroom.
