A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Chapter 246: Princess of the Long Sword 2

Novgorod, Wolf's Lair.

The old man handed the letter to Thomas tremblingly.

The leader wolf died long ago, and all the evil wolves were also dead. Now the only actual staff member left in the entire wolf den was Thomas, the special envoy.

Naturally, all daily activities cannot be carried out.

In theory, Thomas should have left long ago.

The mission is accomplished, the cause of the wolf leader's death has been investigated, so why are you still staying here?

Unfortunately, although the report was submitted, there was no reply from the Wolf Lord.

But now I never expected that while I was waiting patiently, someone would come to my door and deliver this letter.

The content of the letter was very simple, inviting the Wolf's Den envoy to the Gwalan family's old nest at the dock for a chat.

Damn it, you think you’re lucky that I didn’t come to your door, but you actually came to my door instead?

This time, there was a slight miscalculation.

I originally learned from the Red Dragon that the prince was abroad and would be unlikely to come back until next spring.

In this day and age, messaging is incredibly inconvenient, and that pretty much means the end of it.

It is impossible for Thomas to go to the prince, and it is impossible for the prince to come to Thomas.

After all, the magic mark would disappear in three months. Even if the prince returned, who would be able to find Thomas among the hundreds of thousands of people in Novgorod? And revenge would be out of the question.

But now it seems...it should be magical communication!

This method of communication was extremely expensive; burning a single magic scroll would cost thousands of florins. Who in their right mind would use this?

In other words, maybe it will be used only when you are dying.

But little Gwalan did not use the scroll when he died.

The signature on the back of this invitation letter is not Old Gevalan?

But it is a strange name: Princess of the Long Sword.

A nickname?

Of course I won’t go if invited, there’s no way I’ll go in this lifetime!

Thomas was not yet in the habit of putting his life in the hands of other people's consciences.

Unless they have gathered an army and intend to uproot the Gwalan family, then it is worth going there.

Thomas went down from the Wolf's Den building, considering whether to act as a third wheel for the Blasphemous Knight and his wife...

Then, in the spiritual field, I sensed a figure nimbly climbing over the wall.

Fall into the courtyard.

Came face to face with Thomas!

Thomas looked at the person in front of him in some astonishment.

A woman with a slim figure.

She wore a white fox fur coat on her upper body and a long skirt on her lower body. The skirt was split on the side, like a cheongsam, revealing most of her long, white thighs.

Maomei has long legs.

This kind of dress is definitely not normal. If I must say, it looks more like a costume or something a prostitute would wear.

The woman had no weapon in her hands, but a knife was hanging at her waist.

A narrow, long sword that can only be described as "delicate".

Although it is called a long sword, it is not actually very long, at least not longer than Thomas's sword.

Rather than saying that it is an actual combat weapon, it is better to say that it is a prop that only appears on the stage.

But…Thomas felt the surge of energy in his spiritual field. It felt like tiny needles pricking his eyes.

Protect the country?

Probably not yet, he is still inferior to Boris.

But they are much stronger than ordinary elites.

Then... it is the legendary half-step to protect the country!

"Are you the special envoy Shadow Wolf?" the woman took the initiative to speak.

careless...

Thomas secretly felt a little regretful.

Someone had forced a letter to be delivered to the door, and the old man in charge of delivering the letter by bird didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only notify him to come and take a look.

Logically, I should just look at this invitation letter (it’s a large piece of cardboard and difficult to send by bird).

But I didn't expect the other party to play by his own rules.

From the beginning to the end, this was a trap, a scam, just to get him here.

This wolf's den has long been under the enemy's sight.

This is also normal, because the four evil wolves must have revealed the location of the wolf's den before.

They even killed the leader wolf, so how could they hide this matter?

"It's me," Thomas said. "Who are you?"

At this point, it is no longer possible to get away with it by simply denying it.

Since that’s the case, why not be generous and admit it?

"You don't know me?" the woman was a little surprised.

"Why should I know you?" Thomas sneered.

"Oh, it seems you are a boring person." The woman smiled and took out a folding fan from somewhere to cover half of her face.

"Could you be..." Thomas suddenly remembered the signature on the invitation. "Princess of the Long Sword?" Or perhaps another name, Sword Princess.

I have the long sword, but the princess...

It would be better to say that she is a prostitute than a princess.

"That's what everyone calls me." The woman laughed. "I came here... to find you."

"how did you find me?"

"Oh, that's so easy. I just sent a letter to the Wolf's Den and had someone waiting at the door. If anyone shows up, they'll report back... that's all." Princess Long Sword continued to laugh. "I just didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Speaking of which, the location of this Wolf's Den... well, there's no way to tell who's watching. It's too close to the bustling city."

It's not just too close, it's practically stuck together.

"In that case, I might as well give you a warning," Thomas said. "If you dare to take action here... you'll have to consider the consequences. There are armed guards everywhere to maintain order. The slightest noise will alert them."

"Hahahaha..." the woman laughed. "No, they don't have time."

"why?"

"Of course it's because of that." The Long Sword Princess pointed behind her. Thomas saw the black smoke rising in the distance, and his heart sank.

There's a fire over there.

Everyone's attention will be drawn away by the fire.

"What a shame..." Princess Changdao sighed, "That building is a hundred years old, right? To see it destroyed like this, even I would feel regretful."

How did she do it? How could she set a fire so easily? This is the heart of the city!

Thomas couldn't help but wonder how her men had managed to do it, but then he realized he was overthinking it.

Among those brothels, there was one that the other party could easily set on fire without any manpower.

The one run by Fox Wolf.

Chapter 247: Princess of the Long Sword 3

"So... you have been observing me and asking me questions... are you trying to find my flaws?" asked Princess Changdao.

"No, I'm just a little curious," Thomas said. "Why would someone like you serve a landless prince?"

"Ha... That's a hard question to answer," Princess Longdao laughed. "Well, since you don't know me, it's normal for you to ask that question."

"Why should I know you?" Thomas still didn't understand.

"These days, I'm the most popular star at the Grand Theatre!" the woman laughed. "I have six performances every day!"

"Ah!" Thomas finally understood.

He really didn't go to the theater very often and had little interest in the operas, dramas, or ballets there.

"So... you're a part-time worker?"

"I guess so. My main job is a dancer," Princess Long Sword replied. "As for why, I've been a dancer since I was a child. I was sold into a performance troupe. On the other hand, my martial arts skills are a late bloomer. My cousin found me by chance and taught me. It was quite unexpected," she continued, smiling, slowly approaching Thomas. "I seem to be quite talented in both dance and martial arts."

So you were discovered by Prince Yaroslav when you were humble?

"There's a saying in the East that a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Your strength should be worthy of a better monarch."

"Perhaps. But for me, although the starry sky is beautiful, I can't reach it with my arms outstretched; although the gutter is dirty, as long as I lie down, it is a place to sleep peacefully."

The woman continued to approach with a smile.

"You're nervous..." Princess Long Sword continued to laugh. "You should be able to sense the gap between us. Actually, I'm a little confused. Why don't you run away? In my original plan, you should have tried to escape from here long ago."

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

It's not a pretense, it's not a joke, it's a real emotion.

She really felt it was strange, because an elite warrior faced a half-step national protector, and didn't run away quickly?

Doesn't she know how powerful Half-Step Protector of the Nation is?

Or do you think you have an extra trump card or helper?

She is really a little weird.

The reason why she didn't attack immediately was that she was wary of the other party escaping.

The reason why "Half-Step Protector of the Nation" is taken out by some people and counted as a separate rank is because the distance between it and the elite high-level is far from as small as ordinary people imagine.

And she is very special.

"Escape?" Thomas looked at the other person.

Thomas had been through many battles, but this was the first time he had encountered such a formidable foe in a real fight.

The warnings from the spiritual field reminded him all the time to pay attention and be careful.

She is a level higher than the Red Dragon or Little Gwalan.

She looks like a prostitute, but she is actually stronger than you can imagine.

"Why would I run away?" Thomas asked calmly. "We're one on one, and I'm a man and you're a woman. I'd be embarrassed if I ran away."

"You won't be respected for your eloquence," the woman laughed. "You've observed me long enough. Have you found any weaknesses?"

An excellent warrior can judge the opponent's weaknesses through some of the opponent's unintentional behaviors before fighting.

"No," Thomas admitted. "So I decided..."

"I can fight face to face!"

Thomas flashed and rushed towards the other party.

There was a loud sound of metal exploding!

The two men's swords had already clashed.

Thomas has used the Steel Soul secret technique: Time Stands Still.

Plan to take them by surprise.

But what was surprising was that the other party was able to barely keep up with the pace.

If in close combat, time stillness allows Thomas to launch four or five attacks, and it is estimated that he can injure the opponent at least one or two times.
