Knights of the Light

The location where the two camped was not too far from the main road, and after a while, a huge convoy passed by them.

The leading reconnaissance guards watched their campfire warily, and after making a brief assessment, they reported back to the head of the caravan.

When they go out, they have to pay attention to all the troubles at all times. Although they often become cannon fodder and the protagonist's light in the legends of various bards, their existence is the guarantee of a caravan.

The head of the caravan thought for a while, and didn't disturb them. He just passed by them. At the same time, he asked a guard not far away to inform the other party that there were wolves trailing behind them, so that the adventurers who camped here had better avoid them in the trees.

"Did you hear that, there are wolves behind, stop making trouble." Percy pushed Alan who was on top of him.

"I'll eat as many small animals as they come." Alan didn't take it seriously, and continued to tear at the man's clothes, "My lord, come and play~No money~"

"Oh, what do you know, beauty?" The two young men were fighting in the tent, and soon a fire broke out.

"I'll do whatever you want..." Alan's expression froze suddenly before he finished speaking.

Outside the tent, a large fireball hung in the air, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.

In the dark forest, countless sinister green eyes stared at the flame.

"That's... a gnoll?" Percy's perception was extremely keen.

"Wolf man?" Alan swept away casually with his mental power. There were about twenty low-level creatures, more than two meters tall, with a jackal-like head and a jackal's gray-red mane. Two hundred lice and flea-like parasites, with their mouths wide open, dripped water, and the stench from their mouths was almost materialized and could be directly perceived by the mental power, the highest level was three levels.

Just ignore this level, but thinking of the dirty breath on them, Alan waved a wave of darkness.

With a crash, more than twenty creatures were seriously injured and flew away, screaming and running away in fright.

I didn't kill him because I was afraid that the stench would continue to linger after they died, and they would not be able to sleep peacefully at night.

After solving the trouble, the two stopped fighting, and Alan obediently slept next to Percy, closing his eyes.

It doesn't matter where you go, as long as he is by your side.

----------------------------------------------------------

On the other side of the jungle, a group of wounded wolf men reported to a wolf man what happened just now.

That jackal was nearly two meters taller than the clansman in front of him. The snow-white fur on his body was well groomed, and the mouth under the snout was tightly closed, not a single drop of saliva dripped down. That wolf face is even more handsome—yes, even in human eyes, this is a handsome wolf.

"The place where our lord descends cannot be polluted by humans." The handsome gnoll thought about the two humans, and thought for a while, "but the blood of the strong can better restore our lord."

Gnoll God Eugene, Priest Beast, Gluttony, Hunting.

You can rely on flesh and blood to restore your own strength, the more powerful people you eat, the faster you will recover.

It is not yet possible to determine the professional level of the target, but since the opponent has passive magic defense and silent instant casting, it must be high-level.

This handsome gnoll will not attack without confirming the strength of the enemy, because back then, the god of hunting saw a knight with his priesthood, and his teeth were pulled out when he stepped forward to kill him. .

The dagger made of his teeth is still famous and legendary in the North.

The handsome Gnoll decided to check it out first.

Following the scent of the few aboriginal gnolls, he quickly found the camp with the bonfire burning.

Then smell it on the ground.

Well, it's so fragrant, it's the small leaf mint tea from the south, the black pepper ribeye steak, and the fragrance of grilled squid... Wait!Overlord squid?

That one tentacles are hundreds of meters long, and the son of God who was born with a challenge level of 17?

……

I just became a legend this year and was promoted to the great priest of the gods. For this kind of opponent...

To be on the safe side, it is more certain to bring the other three priests along.

Anyway, they are all lurking at the moment, and there is always something to do.

He walked back the same way silently.

Then hit something.

It was an extremely sharp long sword, which was stuck on the icy ground. Behind the long sword was a simple and strong skirt.

"Hello." The handsome jackal greeted calmly, "If you want to attack that camp, I suggest you go by yourself. I'm not their opponent, please let me go."

"Then you won't go to help?" Percy asked with a smile. "Wolves are pack animals."

"I'm not a wolf, I'm a kobold from the Samo Icefield...Will you let me go?" The handsome jackal bared his fangs.

"I've heard that Samo's kobolds are very good comrades-in-arms, so please help us watch the night." Percy gently pulled out his long sword.

"I'm very expensive." The handsome Jackal said warily.

"A bottle of high-grade cod liver oil from the Alchemy Association?" Percy asked.

"Deal!" The handsome Gnoll instinctively wagged his tail, taking it as extra money.

So one man and one wolf returned to the campfire.

"The catastrophe has begun again recently. It's terrible. Purgatory is enough to make this world unsafe." Percy sighed by the fire.

"Who said it wasn't, but it's the second time, and it shouldn't be as chaotic as the first time." The handsome jackal took a bite of the squid, and found it delicious and chewy. It really was a high-level species.

"Since you're from the north, any news from the north?" asked Percy.

"Purgatory doesn't seem to have any changes, and it still continues to confront the North of the Holy Light. What about the southern kingdom, are you still waiting and watching?" the wolf man asked.

"Yeah, I really don't understand why the southern kingdom doesn't join forces with the North of the Holy Light to solve Purgatory together. It's a pity that so many soldiers die every year." Percy sighed.

"The Church of the Holy Light is too strong." The jackal shook his head and said, "The southern kingdom is the last territory of the gods. If there is no purgatory, how can the gods compete with the Church of the Holy Light? Since the upper realm of elements invaded the magic side, many churches have closed down Even the word “closed down” came from them.”

"Although the Church of the Holy Light has advantages, other churches are also reforming." Percy said strangely, "For example, they used to rely on piety to reward the pastor's mana. Transform your spiritual power into your belief power, and learn from the Holy Light Church to open the merit exchange and examination system, not only the members are stronger, but also many believers have been admitted."

"Believe it or not, I'll bite you if you bring up the test again?" The jackal bared his fangs, extremely angrily, "It's okay to damn the church to take the test of combat effectiveness, what the hell is the culture class, do those have a bone relationship with combat?"

"I think so too," Percy immediately found a common language with the other party, and after complaining about the damn examination system together, he asked calmly, "Then when did you clean up the Church of the Holy Light together?"

"Who will go to the Church of the Holy Light before it is taken away by Purgatory? Dangbei is dead?" The jackal snorted, "Now they are just huddling in their own territory, preparing to wait for the catastrophe to pass quietly so that they can go to heaven. After all, thousands of years ago Too many people died in the war of gods, and the number of people later was not enough to support the existence of gods. Many gods survived the catastrophe and turmoil, but died in the unbelief years that followed. Now they will fight in private and dare not take too many actions. "

"I heard that a major event happened in the Northland recently?"

"Is it the matter of Bei's disappearance? I don't know, but now the major churches are nervous, and they are afraid that Bei will sneak over to take the head."

"So that means they don't have any big plans?"

"Brother, that's too much. The price I'm asking again won't be a bottle of cod liver oil." The handsome jackal frowned.

"Okay, anyway, Qinqin and I are going to other worlds, and the question is just to confirm the safety of the southern countries." Percy didn't force it either.

"...Why am I being shown even after I have left the clan? Do you want to live alone?" The handsome jackal bared his fangs.

"You're so handsome, but you can't find it. Is your vision too high?" Percy asked in surprise.

"I like cleanliness very much, and they don't like me if I ask them to take a bath frequently..." the handsome jackal said very sluggishly.

"That's because they don't have eyes!"

……

At the end of the night, Percy chatted with the handsome jackal all night. They almost fell in love with each other, and parted ways after leaving a contact information.

Along the way, Alan was very unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Percy asked softly, wrapping his arms around him.

"...Honey, am I handsome or is he handsome?" Alan asked.

"You," Percy said without hesitation.

"It turns out... what you like is my appearance." Alan hung on to him with a smile.

"No, I like you even if you are a skeleton."
