As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The originally pale-skinned cultists were so angry at these words that their faces turned red. Some of them even secretly had murderous intentions, with cruelty flashing in their eyes.

These guys are the last elite of the [School of the Necromancer]. They've all killed a few nobles! So they can't kill a small-time civilian like you?

This person died in the wilderness. By the time the border nobles found out who did it, they would have probably already dealt with the blood of the false king and escaped from the border.

Thinking of this, not to mention other believers, even the high priest Granti began to feel murderous intent.

Until a light female voice came from behind.

"Excuse me, boss, are you in trouble?"

Seeing the girl in a pure white robe with a light wisp of blonde hair coming over, the boss's attitude changed 180 degrees and he immediately smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, little sister, don't worry."

Not to mention the elegant and quiet voice, the polite attitude, and the beautiful facial features that were mostly hidden by the hood.

Just because the boss paid ten times the rent for the little maid, he could conclude that these girls were important people and his attitude was naturally respectful.

"Did I disturb your young lady? Sorry, I'll ask them to be quiet right away."

After smiling at Alice, the boss's face darkened when he looked at Granti and the others. "What's the matter? What are you standing there for? Get out of here if you have nothing to do!"

Granti really couldn't hold it in any longer.

What an ugly face! Damn mortal, pay the price for your rudeness!

As for the nobles? Ha, we can just kill the petty nobles! We, the great followers of the God of Death, don't care about the nobility and lowliness of your mortal society!

If they really wanted to take action, they would naturally have to kill everyone in the hotel to avoid any rumors. Let everything be quiet under the wind and snow.

Glancing at the petite girl before him, Granti could tell she was holding the hilt of her sword, already adopting a vigilant stance in the dark. The other girls accompanying her in the distance also stopped their playfulness, ready to provide support at any moment.

Just as Granti was about to make a move and release his perception to scan Alice's figure, he suddenly froze.

His mind felt hot, and Granti's expression changed slightly under his hood.

Holy light?

Why is there a Holy Light transcendent here?!

You have to know that regardless of the continent, Holy Light transcendents are strictly controlled by the Church. Furthermore, even in the Eastern Continent, Sequence 7 is already at the level of the Knights Templar!

But before he could think, wave after wave of energy exploded his perception like thunder.

There are actually three gold-level bloodlines? !

And two of them are Sequence 6!

You have to know that even in the Citadel, Sequence 7s aren't something you'd find anywhere. Not to mention a Sequence 6, who would be treated with respect by any faction.

It is said that Sequence 6 is enough to defeat a thousand enemies.

Two thousand strong soldiers suddenly appeared in this desolate wilderness. Which cultist wouldn't be panicked?!

If the fight really comes and he gives it his all, Granti is confident of winning, but that's all.

This fight would severely damage the last elite of the [School of the Undead]! Moreover, just winning alone wouldn't guarantee that Granti could kill them all. If he let any of them escape and attracted the border troops, they would suffer heavy consequences.

Are all the extraordinary people so idle nowadays?!

Low- to mid-level experts, if they weren't showing off their skills on the front lines, were either in the rear, occupying powerful positions. They weren't some brats on a winter break outing! And who the hell would vacation in this icy, snowy place?!

This is unreasonable!

Granti was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that this was a fishing trap set by human forces. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

What if we are killed along the way before we even encounter the blood of the false king?

You know, these few people are the last remaining members of the [School of the Undead] in the Western Continent!

"Little girl, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business!"

Seeing his subordinate grinning and about to attack, Granti was startled and raised his hand to give him a loud slap in the face.

Then, as the entire inn looked on in astonishment, the high priest shouted, "Don't be rude!"

"gone!"

Before Alice could even react, Granti had already led his men and hurriedly fled the scene.

Chapter 137 hxd tried his best

"Tsk, there was no fight, what a coward."

Except for the trouble-making Nia who was a little disappointed, the other two girls were secretly relieved.

Lyanna's expression was slightly cold: "Do you feel it?"

"Well, at least it's intermediate level." Charlotte nodded seriously.

The most urgent task is to find Roy. Moreover, they have already hidden their identities and sneaked into the empire in a low-key manner. They don't want to cause trouble and bring about diplomatic troubles.

Therefore, it would be best if there is no conflict.

Of course, if the other party is really a bad guy, they will not show mercy.

Unless the difference in bloodline levels is too great, actively releasing an extraordinary aura will naturally attract the attention of other extraordinary people.

After a whole winter vacation of training, Charlotte has entered Sequence 6.

Even though this was already an astonishing talent rarely seen in decades in the academy, Charlotte was still somewhat discouraged when she thought that she could stumble upon a Sequence 6 in the middle of nowhere.

I don't know where the other party comes from...

On the other side, ten cultists were squeezed together in a small and dilapidated single room, covered in dust and cobwebs. They were extremely uncomfortable in every sense of the word.

One of the three cult priests, who was about to attack Alice, was the first to speak out unwillingly: "High Priest! Why are you stopping me?!"

"He's just a mortal, so I can just kill him..."

"Mortal?" Granti sneered. "If I told her she was a Sequence 7 of the Holy Light system, with two Sequence 6s and a Sequence 7 as helpers, how would you respond?"

The priest was stunned: "?"

The others also looked grim, feeling a bit frightened by what had just happened.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Granti said, "A little impatience can ruin a great plan."

"Our goal is to seize the false king's blood and revitalize the [School of the Undead]. To do this, we need to keep a low profile. How could we be so intolerant of such a small matter?"

"We don't know where they come from, so just in case, we should stay for two more days and try to avoid them."

Everyone responded quickly, feeling that he was worthy of being the successor chosen by the leader. While he was daring to gamble and fight, he was also cautious and prudent. They couldn't help but submit to him.

With such a courageous, visionary and strategic person as the leader, why would the [School of the Undead] not flourish?

For a moment, the room was filled with exciting enthusiasm.

"The High Priest is right!"

"The humiliation of a mere mortal is not worth mentioning!"

"Let's keep him alive for now, and send him into silence when we return!"

Until the priest just now suddenly looked troubled:

"But there's a problem..."

“We don’t have the money to stay longer.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point, and even Ju Lian Granti twitched his mouth.

After a suffocating silence, Granti finally said bitterly: "Use extraordinary props to pay off the debt."

The extraordinary props of their [School of the Undead] are made from the corpses of rare magical beasts. If one is lost, there will be one less. Now they have to use it to mortgage the accommodation fee?

How could a dignified believer in the God of Death fall to such a state?!

Seeing everyone's low spirits, Granti suppressed his heartache over the loss of his treasure and encouraged them, "I know you're heartbroken, but this is a necessary sacrifice! Once we capture the false king's blood, this loss won't matter at all!"

After hearing what Granti said, everyone's expressions improved slightly.

Yes, as long as we catch the blood of the false king, no matter the shame or sacrifice, all of this will be rewarded in the end!

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

On the icy blue sea, the snow-colored flag with edelweiss patterns flutters leisurely.

The huge sailboat sailed slowly towards the distant islands in the rare clear weather in the past few days.

The southwest of Jingfeng City is a rare warm area on the border, and it has the only ice-free port in the entire empire.

At this time of year, tourists from the Wind Quiet City would depart from the port and take a sailboat to the Aurora Island not far from the port to enjoy the aurora.

As its name suggests, Aurora Island is the only island where you can consistently see the aurora borealis. It's said that the Winter Empire's aurora, like a goddess's painting, is one of Viszea's ten must-see attractions, along with the Lionheart Kingdom's sunsets and the South Sea Kingdom's beaches.

The deck was filled with cold wind, but it could not cover up the enthusiasm of the tourists. Almost everyone was in high spirits when talking about the legendary aurora.

"It is said that the Aurora is the skirt of the Holy Light Goddess. Couples touched by it will be blessed by the Goddess and spend their lives together!"

"Ah, that's annoying. Why are you telling me this~"

The men and women reflected by the aurora will be together forever. Although no one knows whether it is true or not, many couples are attracted by it, so that the deck is filled with an ambiguous and sweet atmosphere.

With a lover as beautiful as Miss Snow, I should have joined them.

Roy smiled bitterly in his heart, huddled in a corner, stroking the golden-winged griffin, immersed in his own thoughts.

Recently, Jon Snow's work finally came to an end. Roy just accepted her invitation and went out to enjoy the scenery and relax, and boarded a sailboat to Aurora Island.

But ever since the bathroom farce, he didn't know how to face Jon Snow.

Memories of the past are gradually being restored, like broken puzzle pieces slowly being pieced together.

However, the more this happened, the more Roy felt uncomfortable with Jon Snow's identity.

He did have an impression of the past that Jon Snow described, but the details did not match at all.

At least, he could conclude that they were definitely not classmates. He was obviously somewhat respectful to Jon Snow.

Roy certainly thought about collecting intelligence from other places.

But from the Earl and Countess to the castle maid, everyone only believes Jon Snow's version of the story.

These guys are actually conspiring together and trying to hide something!

Roy vaguely remembered that Jon Snow had saved his life, and he was sure that Jon Snow had no ill will towards him. But precisely because of this, Roy was even more curious about why Jon Snow had concealed the truth.

If they are not lovers, then what is the relationship between them?

It would be nice if I could learn about the past from someone other than Jon Snow.

Thinking of this, Roy gave up on himself: "[Cheese], do you think Jon Snow is really my lover?"

"Ow?"

[Cheese] was completely bewildered by the human language.

"Ouch?!"

"Brother, I think you've had enough fun, right? You've been hanging out with Baimao for so long and you're still not going back. Aren't you really afraid that other girls will come looking for you with axes?!"

Due to the language barrier, [Cheese] didn't even know that Roy had lost his memory.

And its griffin language sounded like a bunch of gibberish to Roy.

Seeing the griffin tilting its head foolishly, Roy chuckled and rubbed its head: "Sorry to embarrass you, after all, you're just a griffin."

It's funny, why would I think of asking such questions to these guys who only have eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in their heads?

At this moment, a cold call came from behind.

"Roy."

"Why are you here?"

Roy's heart trembled, then he pretended to be calm and replied: "Nothing, I just came out to get some fresh air."

Come out for some fresh air, why don’t you take me with you?

Looking at the boy's usual gentle smile, Jon Snow's lips trembled slightly, but in the end he couldn't ask.

Chapter 138 The Price of Lies

In Jon Snow's opinion, there was only one possible reason why Roy avoided him.
