A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"It sounds like Lord Solarius is very familiar with our predecessors."

"I don't deserve such praise. I just feel a little sorry for the deeds of the Gwynbrad family's ancestors."

"He dedicated his life to the Holy Light, yet ended up like that... harmed by wicked people."

"Harmed by a villain?"

Upon hearing Valeria's words, a slight smile appeared on Anne's lips.

"Indeed, the Knights were to split up. Grand Master Kay Gwynbrad was betrayed and killed in a mission. The Knights were forced to relinquish their order and disband."

"It is said that the church launched an internal purge that lasted for several years, implicating many people."

Valeria spoke eloquently, seemingly possessing genuine knowledge of that era.

However, An did not agree after hearing this.

"Is that so... So this is how the church records that era and arranges our ancestors... It really is in line with the church's consistent style."

"Ok?"

Valeria sensed a hint of sarcasm in Anne's words, half for the church and half for herself.

"Miss An is actually..."

“Let me reintroduce you, Ann Gwynbrad, a direct descendant of the man you just mentioned.”

"This is truly unexpected..."

An shook her head and said:

"When I saw you speak of that past with such confidence, I thought that there were finally some discerning people in the church who were willing to face that history squarely... Unfortunately, I was just being presumptuous."

"If it were my ancestor back then, hearing your words and knowing that he had become a great injustice in the eyes of the younger generation, he would surely be so enraged that he stormed into the Cathedral of Holy Light and killed several cardinals..."

An's words seemed to vaguely reveal part of the truth of what happened back then.

"Again? Could it be that the record is incorrect?"

More than just a mistake, if Anne's case were confirmed, Gwynbrad would have transformed from a victim into a sinner...

Anne chuckled again, offering no further explanation, but instead gave Valeria a serious look:

History is written by the victors. Even those directly involved no longer care about the truth, so why should we be so fixated on it...?

"Let me give you one last piece of advice, sir: do not be blindly loyal."

"The Holy Light may not deceive you, but the heart of those who wield it is unfathomable..."

"The kind and benevolent are often the ones who suffer in private."

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked."

......

The underground tunnel built by the dwarves was remarkably straight, with almost no turns.

While saving time, the unchanging scenery can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue.

"Ugh... how long are we going to get here? This is so boring!"

Fiona was the first to lose her temper and complained as usual.

"If my senses are correct... it's not nighttime outside yet, and we've been in the tunnel for no more than three hours."

Aleister reminded.

"No way, only three hours? It feels like a whole day has passed!"

Fiona wailed.

This time, surprisingly, no one thought Fiona was being unreasonable.

Indeed, everyone felt that time stretched out very long underground.

He looks somewhat...abnormal.

"Wasn't there supposed to be a dragon tide? Why hasn't there been any movement? Even just a few coming out and killing them would be better than doing nothing..."

Indeed, it was far too quiet.

Not only was there no expected earth dragon tide, but there were no other sounds either.

Valeria looked at Wuyue, hoping she could hear some valuable information.

However, Wuyue simply shook her head silently, indicating that there was nothing noteworthy except for the footsteps of the group.

"Everyone, stay alert and don't let yourselves drift into a daze."

"Alessa, could you please detect the magical fluctuations and their direction within this tunnel?"

Even without Valeria saying so, Alesste had already begun the magical detection.

Soon, a discovery was made.

"The magical energy concentration is extremely high, surging outwards from within towards the exit..."

"Wait, this magic... I've never seen this wavelength before."

What is she saying?

Fiona had no idea what Alessandro was using with those technical terms.

"Simply put, mages who have a thorough understanding of magic can analyze its wavelength to determine the different types of magic, and thus identify whether the source of the magic is a person, an object, or something else..."

An explained.

Clearly, Arester belongs to that kind of person.

"so what?"

"To put it simply, during my school years, I witnessed the magic emanating from different races, species, objects, and relics. I could recognize what they were at a glance."

"So, what if there are magical wavelengths I haven't seen before..."

"It seems to be that ancient relic."

There was no worry in Alessandro's tone; instead, there was a hint of excitement.

"Since we can trace the ancient relics, what about the earth dragon tide? Given the size of the earth dragon, it's impossible that there was no movement at all."

"No, I can confirm that there are currently no earth dragons or even any large creatures in the entire underground tunnel."

This statement is utterly absurd.

Earth dragon tides—many people have witnessed them appearing in underground tunnels; Jamas wouldn't joke about something like that.

How could such enormous monsters, which live in the same habitat year after year, appear out of thin air and then disappear out of thin air?

"Can you be sure?"

Valeria confirmed again.

"Confirmed, at this moment, there is nothing."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, let's take that relic and decide whether to make it my new collection."

Fiona's fatigue vanished instantly, and she stood with her hands on her hips, pointing ahead and shouting loudly.

Many people never get to see ancient artifacts in their lifetime, and even if they do, they are just ordinary "dust-covered" or "awakened" artifacts.

Although everyone had unknowingly witnessed an ancient artifact of "epic" or higher level...

Wuyue had already seen the "world-class" relic, the Winter Treasure Box.

Something that can be buried deep beneath Mount Dukush and still emit a massive amount of unknown magical power is definitely not an ordinary relic.

“Miss An, this is a commission between us and Danjie City, and it actually has nothing to do with the three of you. If you don’t want to take the risk…”

An silently walked to Wuyue's side and said:

"As fellow travelers on the same ship, I am honored to be able to protect and support you all."

"Besides, we are also very interested in ancient relics."
