How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Many players choose to set up stalls here, and the assault team can also replenish supplies from here before entering the ruins. There are many guards patrolling around, and in the central area not far away, you can see a tightly guarded outpost that has been transformed into a meeting hall.

Yes, although players are allowed to move freely in the front-line base, there are still restricted areas. After all, it is an important military base for discussing the overall military layout and action strategies. Its importance can be roughly seen from the large number of soldiers guarding it and the occasional sight of a few elite officers.

This was also the reason why he brought Kai here. Even though the Holy Light Monastery was independent from the main church of Orwin, it was still a strong force of light. As the captain of the elite trainee team, Kai should also have a certain status.

Although he was allowed to enter, he was not allowed to meet the commander of the main operation, or the other officers and church envoys who participated in the operation.

Even though Kai expressed his desire to participate in the action to jointly defeat the Undercity ruins.

"The guards said that the commander and other leaders of the operation were in an important meeting and asked me to wait for a moment." Kai explained after returning from the outpost.

"It's just a polite remark."

I shrugged my shoulders, but this was somewhat within my expectations. After all, if your identity is not important enough, it will be weakened after crossing national boundaries, and it is very likely that you will be watched out for by those high-level officials.

So, does disguise still have to be used?

I thought of the method I used to disguise myself to enter the Holy Light Monastery, and disguised myself as the saint again.

However, although there would be nothing in the front-line base that could see through the disguise, and the strength of the church in the town of Nalton was not as high as that of the Holy Light Monastery, there was no need to worry about the true identity being suspected after crossing the country.

But the most important thing is how to prove your identity.

When I entered the Holy Light Monastery, it was with the imperial edict of the White Lion Bishop. Now, Kai's testimony alone is undoubtedly not enough. From the previous treatment, it can be seen that those responsible for the operation do not attach importance to Kai's identity.

"Kai, go to the monastery and ask Sister Claire for a token from the leader of the Holy Light Monastery. It would be best if it is a handwritten letter that can prove my identity."

I thought about it carefully and said to Kai.

Kai nodded and activated the teleportation magic.

After she left, I randomly found a place outside the front-line base, made sure there was no one around, and then used magic disguise to restore my identity as the candidate saint Sophielina, which I hadn't used for a long time.

Of course, when I saw the clothes designed by Hill on my backpack, there was no way I would change into them.

After all, it was her first time pretending to be inexperienced, so she believed that talk. Now think about it carefully, which candidate for saint would be so high-profile as to wear such a conspicuous dress? It was obviously designed to satisfy Hill's bad taste at that time.

Thinking about it this way, it’s a good thing that the Holy Light Monastery is a group of lolita lovers who didn’t notice such details, otherwise they would have been exposed at the very beginning.

He couldn't even get a few meals, and yet the screen was filled with holy light. Of course, the important thing is the last sentence.

But having said that, the headdress and cloak to hide the magic disguise are still indispensable. Just when I was about to return to the front-line base to wait for Kai's arrival, I didn't expect that he would come back so soon.

Not only that, she also brought me a very important "token" that could prove she was the leader of the Holy Light Monastery, or something that was beyond any doubt.

"Sister Claire... why are you here..."

Yes, the person who appeared in front of me was Claire, the leader of the Holy Light Monastery. The heroic look between her eyebrows and her well-defined cheeks revealed her brilliant temperament everywhere.

It is hard to imagine that this kind of person is actually the leader of a lolita-loving faction in the monastery, and has recently openly taken the lead in joining the enemy camp.

"There is no official business to be handled at the monastery recently. I think it would be more conducive to your Highness' actions if I come here in person."

Although there was no change in Claire's expression, it was obvious that her subtle emotions could be felt from her slightly fluctuating tone.

To put it in my own words, it was the excitement of "not being able to suppress it after finally seeing a cute loli after not being satisfied for a long time."

Kai next to me also confirmed this, whispering something in my ear.

"Lord Claire was dealing with the expansion of the monastery and was planning to discuss it with others. When he heard about Your Highness's matter, he immediately..."

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a lolita leader, "Kai, I remember you haven't finished your daily training yet?"

"But didn't Lord Claire just say that we can just assist His Highness... I understand. I'll make it up to you tonight!"

“Double the training volume.”

"Good... good!"

Chapter 60: Fan meeting?

“Well, Kai and the others are helping me deal with things, so don’t be too harsh on them.” In order to prevent my subordinates from being persecuted further, I couldn’t help but speak out to stop them.

"I just want to supervise their training so that they can better protect you, Your Highness."

Why do I feel like you're just jealous that they can have fun playing with loli, and wasn't this decision made by you...

But it was obvious that I couldn't say these words. However, Claire saw that I looked conflicted, as if I was worried about something.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already handed over the affairs of the monastery to Biqi. There won't be any problems. And I came here this time to try to establish a branch of the monastery in the Constantina Empire."

Hey, are you serious about establishing a transnational faction?... If you have to find an excuse, you better find a good one...

I curled my lips and didn't intend to continue this topic. I explained the whole story and my plan to Claire and Kai.

After listening to this, both of them looked serious.

"Your Highness, is Naidoru also a cute child?"

"..."

Kai saw that I looked unhappy, and quickly expressed his loyalty, "Don't worry, Your Highness, you will always be the cutest one in our hearts!"

"That's the point, idiot!" I couldn't help but burst out.

"Ahem, Your Highness, do you want me to prove your identity so that I can infiltrate the other party and interfere with their action plan?" Fortunately, Claire was at least serious. She asked after coughing.

"It's probably not possible to intervene. Even if you are the leader of the monastery, the intervention of independent forces is suspected of exceeding your authority. What's more, it is a cross-border operation. They will also be on guard."

I shook my head. "I just need to know their specific battle plan so that I can make corresponding preparations in advance."

Soon, such a scene appeared in the front-line base. A cute loli appeared at the entrance with two subordinates dressed as paladins. As they walked towards the central outpost, the guards next to them and the patrol teams passing by stopped and saluted to express their respect.

Under normal circumstances, the players around would just treat him as an officer of noble status passing by, but at this moment, they all stared at him in surprise for a long time.

The reason was not because of the cute face of the little girl, but because of the words clearly displayed on the head of one of the ladies dressed as knights following behind her -

Claire Isolide【Hero】：? ? ? Level

The "level" at the end means that the level is too high for the players to be seen. In fact, it was not a big deal in the past, after all, players could easily see several of them in the capital. But the key point is still the conspicuous hero logo.

Because this almost represents the highest level of human combat power, the official information site of Era has published many hero-level indigenous characters, and each of these existing heroes is at least level 200 or above.

Some of them were even knowledgeable enough to recognize Claire's identity.

"Isn't this the leader of the Holy Light Monastery of the neighboring Orwin Empire? He's a level 240 hero!"

Level 240 hero!

Most of the players in the front-line base had their eyes light up.

So it was very similar to the scene that appeared in the town of Soma before. The loli sister was walking in front, followed by a large group of players. Finally, they were stopped by a group of guards in front of the outpost. Claire, Kai and I naturally entered.

At this time, following the guard's report, the commander's personal guards who had previously come into contact with Kai also hurried over.

"Please... may I ask who you are?"

Even without the ability to detect information that players can, the guards could still feel the imposing aura of Claire and were a little surprised. It seemed that he saw Kai next to him and remembered something, "Hey, Miss Kai is here too... Could it be that you are the leader of the Holy Light Monastery, the Shining Knight Claire, Lord Claire?"

Claire nodded.

Although there were no words, the guards were frightened by the power of the high position they held for so many years. They asked cautiously, "Why did Lord Claire come here in person?"

"I am only accompanying you and am responsible for protecting the safety of Her Highness Saint Sophia." Claire said lightly, and the meaning of her words clearly gave the center of attention to someone else.

"Her Highness... Saint?" Upon hearing this, the guards noticed the cute little girl next to them, and were even more surprised by what Claire said.

After all, two heavyweight figures appeared at the same time, and he, a small personal guard, didn't know how to react.

"We are here to look for the persons in charge of this operation. Could you, brother, help lead the way?" I smiled slightly, perfectly playing the role of a well-behaved saint. This could be seen from the performance of the two people behind me. Claire reached out and silently covered her chest.

As for Kai...

"Finally appeared, your highness in angel mode."

So can you keep this sentence in your heart and say...

Fortunately, the guards seemed to be eager to escape from this Shura field, and did not pay much attention to it. After instructing the guards next to them to notify first, they immediately led us to the sentry post, "Understood, please follow me."

Soon we passed through teams of patrolling guards and arrived at the temporary meeting hall next to the outpost under their respectful gazes. We also met the person in charge of the operation who greeted us. What I didn't expect was that these people were surprisingly young.

What I didn’t expect was their subsequent performance.

"It's really Master Claire!"

"I didn't expect you to actually come. We have always admired you, Master Claire!"

"I heard that Claire's sword skills are very good. Could you give me some pointers?"

"You must be Her Highness Sophielina, right? I have heard of your name from my father. I wonder if the White Lion Bishop is doing well?"

"Is Her Highness Sophielina still the candidate for the Saint? She is so cute!"

Is this... a fan gathering?

Claire and I didn't know what to do in this situation, but fortunately, one of the beautiful girls in white nun's clothes seemed to understand that it was not good to discuss such damaging issues outside, so she spoke out to stop us and brought us into the meeting room.

And from the other party's introduction, I also learned the identities of these people.

The girl in nun's clothes is the deputy commander of the operation, the successor trained by the church in the town of Nalton - Anna, a level 30 elite priest. Next to her is her sister Peggy, a level 30 elite paladin.

On the other side, the girl with dazzling red hair and a straightforward and energetic personality is the main commander of this operation, Isabella, the niece of the commander of the First Legion stationed in Nalton, a level 30 elite warrior.

The other four girls of different backgrounds are all members of the White Rose Legion she founded.

As for why there are so many young faces, I almost understand through Anna's explanation. Although it is natural that high-level indigenous people cannot participate in the game design, the reason given is also logical.

In fact, Nalton did not pay much attention to this incident. He planned to let Isabella and Anna take sufficient manpower to train appropriately and develop legion combat experience. In other words, it was equivalent to "gilding" them and adding some honors.

Chapter 61 This Commander Seems Unreliable

The identities of these people are not the most important thing. What is important is that Isabella learned about Claire from somewhere and was deeply attracted by her powerful strength. From time to time, she publicized Claire's heroic deeds in the White Rose Group she founded.

Therefore, under her subtle influence as the leader, most of the members of the White Rose Group have become fans of Claire herself. Just from their previous performance, it is enough to see Isabella and the others' admiration for Claire.

Although Anna and Peggy from the church were different from Isabella, as two people who had been nurtured with the belief in Holy Light since childhood, they naturally had a good impression of Claire, who was also a member of the church. When they learned that I was a candidate for the saint who was running for the first festival, they were also fascinated.

So naturally, Isabella and the others did not doubt Claire's words or my identity at all. After all, in the doctrine of Holy Light, the chivalric principle dictates that most knights would not choose to lie to others.

Although they had no idea that the great knight in front of them had completely abandoned the faith in Holy Light with her men.

However, this does not prevent them from admiring Claire even though they are unaware of the situation.

"With Lady Claire's assistance, we can definitely get rid of the monster in the Undercity ruins easily this time~" Isabella seemed very excited. Even when sitting at the long meeting table, she looked at Claire from time to time, and her admiration was beyond words.

Even Claire, who has been in a high position for a long time and never shows her emotions, could not stand this kind of enthusiastic attitude. She glanced at Kai and me who were secretly laughing beside her and said lightly, "Please forgive me, Miss Isabella. This involves the local military and political affairs of Constantina. I am here on behalf of the Holy Light Monastery. If I interfere without authorization, it would be considered as exceeding my authority and would bring bad influence to my family."

"Is that so? That's a bit regrettable..."

Isabella looked a little lost, but the several officers who accompanied her to the meeting were secretly relieved.

Anna, the deputy commander of the operation, smiled softly and said meaningfully, "After all, this operation is an exercise given to you by Uncle Jules. If Lady Claire gets involved, it will take away the limelight. And Isabella, don't you want to show off your abilities? This is a great opportunity to show off your abilities."

Hearing this, Isabella's eyes lit up immediately, "Yes, I will perform well and will not let Master Claire down."

Looking at Claire who didn't know what to say, I couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect that Claire, who was always calm, would have a weakness like this kind of enthusiastic fan girl. But it was obvious that the most crucial point was that Isabella was no longer a loli.

If it was a loli fan girl, Claire, the leader of the monastery's underground organization, would have been on the verge of crime long ago.

Just when he was gloating, he never expected Anna to suddenly bring the topic to his side.

"I wonder what Princess Sophielina thinks about this operation. With her insights, she should be able to provide us with a lot of help." Anna smiled slightly and gave him an expectant look.

According to what I told them, I was taking a break in Nalton while traveling around for the first ceremony of the Saint, and by chance I heard about the ruins of the Undercity and came here to do my part.

Although you say you want to do your part, any discerning person knows that this statement is just a way for the so-called "second-generation official" to gild themselves. What's more, I just came here to inquire about the plan and time of the actual action. Is it really okay for you to bother me like this?

When he saw the looks from people around him, he realized that they were treating him as the future successor to the Saint.

I couldn't help but secretly complain, but after thinking about it, I tried to use excuses to evade responsibility, "I'm sorry, Sophielina doesn't know the plan of action yet. If I put forward ideas without permission, it may cause unnecessary trouble to the sisters."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, the people in front of me looked at each other and then looked at a red-haired girl in the meeting room.

Isabella said directly while meeting everyone's gaze.

"We don't have any plans at all."

"…Sister Isabella is not kidding, right?"

I froze in place and blinked subconsciously.

If you don't have a plan, then why did I go to all the trouble to get in there?

Peggy spread her hands and said, "Sister Isabella never considers anything."
