Chapter 19 New Invitation

The moment the monster's head was crushed by Connor's war hammer, its two arms changed again.

Two arm blades like hooks and scythes circled towards Connor's body!

Connor, who was in mid-air, was flying forward driven by inertia. There was no way to avoid the monster's sudden blow.

Pamier dragged the big sword and ran in the direction of the monster, hoping to give the monster a fatal blow before it cut Connor in two.

But at this time, Pamier's position was still too far away from the monster, and it was too late.

Despair began to envelope Connor's heart. Just a moment before the monster's hook and sickle struck Connor, countless scenes he had experienced in the first half of his life appeared in Connor's mind like a revolving lantern.

"Ah... I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

"I haven't confessed my love to Miss Marilyn yet..."

"Captain Anthony still owes me forty gold coins..."

"The "Broken Wing Bird" picture album in the cupboard... hasn't been burned yet..."

"..."

Connor closed his eyes tightly, waiting for death to come.

However, until he landed smoothly on his buttocks and rolled on the ground with muscle memory, he did not feel the pain from the waist cut.

The monster...it didn't attack me?

Connor opened his eyes and saw the most incredible sight.

I saw a black dagger stuck on the monster's waist. The dagger penetrated the monster from the back until it reached the hilt.

[Throwing a "fine black steel dagger" at "Maurice Fallen Undead"]

[Causes 14 points of basic damage! 】

【……】

Luo Xiu stood about ten meters away from the monster and threw his right hand forward in a throwing shape.

At the critical moment, the black steel dagger thrown by Luo Xiu gave the monster a fatal blow!

Starting from the monster's hook-like arms, the "disintegration" caused by death is proceeding slowly but unstoppably.

Starting from the tips, the arms gradually disintegrated into ash, then the body, the head, and finally the heart.

When the last piece of flesh and blood turned into fly ash, a small, exquisite, crystal clear red crystal stone fell into the ash pile on the ground.

Ignoring the kill reward and promotion mission completion prompts, Luo Xiu quickly ran to Connor and stretched out his hand.

Connor took Luo Xiu's hand and stood up tremblingly, with an expression of lingering fear on his face.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Connor gasped and said gratefully, "You saved my life, thanks to you for discovering this monster's movements, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable..."

No, actually I just came to collect the tail blade... Luo Xiu thought, but did not stop Connor from continuing to think.

"Everyone is still alive, which is the greatest luck." Luo Xiu said with a smile.

Connor nodded and walked to the black ashes where the monster had shattered. He leaned over and picked up the red crystal. At the same time, he took out a square crystal bottle from his arms and sealed the crystal in it.

"This is the monster's 'heart'. Crush this thing into pieces, but it will be a valuable enchanting powder..." Connor said with a smile.

At this time, Pamier also rushed over. After the three people confirmed that each other was okay, they couldn't help but feel a sense of joy as if they were surviving a disaster.

…

After killing the undead monster, Connor and Pamier prepared to leave Dawn Town.

However, before that, Connor and Pamier had a more important thing to do.

According to the guards who were on duty at the mansion that day, Mayor Rupert went crazy when he heard that the corpse of the blood disciple was "pretending to be a corpse". He hid in the haystack of the stable all morning and shivered. Why? He refused to come out despite persuasion.

After Connor, Pamier and Luo Xiu eliminated the undead, Connor took Pamier directly to the stable and lit the haystack with a fire.

All the hair on Mayor Rupert's body was completely burned by the fire, and even a large piece of his velvet clothes was burned off.

He just ran naked on the street, shouting vague words such as "I am guilty" and "I deserve it".

It is said that the fire scared the horses in the stable so much that the two stallions chased Mayor Rupert and kicked him several times.

…

"These are all personal vendettas, well, personal vendettas."

Morningside Town - In front of the door of the Glory Church, Connor said with a smile, his expression as bright as a sunflower.

"Lord Connor... although I know that this undead incident is closely related to Mayor Rupert..."

Luo Xiu rubbed his chin with his right hand and said thoughtfully, "But you are violating the commandments of the 'Holy Court'. You will most likely be punished after you return."

"Just punish him." Connor spread his hands. "This is not the first time this kind of thing has been done."

Got it, it turned out to be a habitual offender... Luo Xiu nodded in cooperation.

At this time, Connor and Pamier had packed their things and were preparing to leave Morningside Town.

Two stage horses were tied behind a tree outside the church. They crossed their necks and ate grass with their heads lowered.

"By the way, there's something we want to tell you."

A cold female voice came, and Pamier suddenly spoke.

Luo Xiu's heart trembled. He had also thought in advance that before Connor and Pamier left, they came to the church to see him, and it must not just be to say goodbye.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xiu asked with a smile.

Connor reached into his arms and after groping around for a while, he pulled out a gold-sealed piece of paper.

"Luo Xiu...Luo Xiu Carlos, the data shows that you have been in the Glory Church in Dawn Town for two and a half years."

"Yes, that's right." Luo Xiu nodded.

But Connor's words made Luo Xiu's originally stable state of mind appear a little ripple.

Luo Xiu Carlos... Carlos?

I don't have this last name! I am Luo Xiu Durant...

What's going on? What's the matter with this strong sense of disobedience...?

Luo Xiu still had a smiling expression on his face, listening to Connor's next words.

"... And this time when Pamier and I came to Dawn Town, in addition to solving the "supernatural incident" entrusted by the Affairs Office, we also have another task."

"Another task?" Luo Xiu's tone was puzzled, but he had already guessed something in his heart.

"Yes, we are here for other things." Pamier nodded, and then said seriously, "'Apprentice Priest' Luo Xiu Carlos, you have passed the assessment of our 'Holy Judge', and you are qualified to go further."

"I... passed the assessment... qualified..." Luo Xiu murmured.

It turns out that Connor and Pamier's true identities are not only special envoys of the "Holy Judge", but also headhunters sent by the Holy Court...?

Then many things can be explained clearly, for example, although I am just an "enlightened person" with a single destiny, Connor and Pamier almost let me participate in the resolution process of extraordinary events!

Behind all this, there are hidden purposes.

"So, we formally invite you..."

Connor stretched out his hand to Luo Xiu, and said word by word with a sincere expression:

"We formally invite you to join the 'Holy Court' and join our 'Holy Judge'."
