"Sir! It's him! He's the one who's inquiring about Sandstone Village!"
The paladin looked at Renn, and Renn also shifted his gaze from the owner of the Starfire Cartography Museum to the paladin.
The two looked at each other.
The paladin's expression was solemn.
Despite being a peak fifth-tier summoner, he couldn't even discern the person's strength.
"Sir, please come with us. You may have been drawn into a conflict between the Healing Church and heretics," the paladin said.
Renn looked away and turned his gaze back to the map in his hand.
The paladin's expression turned cold upon seeing this, and he said in a chilling voice, "Your Excellency!"
"I am a paladin from the Seventh Division of the Third Paladin Legion, belonging to the Healing Church. Please come with us."
“Otherwise… we might take certain measures against you!” The paladin repeated what he had just said.
Raine remained unmoved, quietly examining the map in his hand.
The paladin narrowed his eyes and immediately reached for Renn's hand.
But before he could even get close to Renn, he was frozen in place and unable to move.
The paladin, who was completely immobilized, narrowed his eyes. Six... above the sixth rank!
Only someone with the strength of the sixth rank or above could control him so easily!
Upon seeing this, the other knights accompanying him at the shop entrance immediately fired a signal flare.
Whoosh—snap!
A signal flare exploded in the sky above Radiant City, creating a unique firework display.
At the same time, Renn finished looking at the map in his hand.
Just like before, the location of Shashi Village was not marked at all.
It was as if the village of sand and gravel never existed.
Raine put down the map in his hand, looked at the paladin he had frozen in place, and asked expressionlessly:
"Tell me, where is Sandstone Village?"
As Raine asked the question, the paladin suddenly felt that he could move his mouth again.
"I don't know," the paladin said, uttering only four words.
He genuinely didn't know; he was simply following the church's orders.
Anyone who tries to inquire about the location of Sandstone Village will be arrested and detained to determine whether they are heretics.
He didn't know why, but the news had been set hundreds of years ago, and he couldn't question it.
“Useless!” Renn sneered.
The next moment, the paladin was instantly thrown out by a gravitational force, smashing a large hole in the shop wall.
The paladin lay in the ruins, his fate unknown.
At that moment, a bright green light shone from the paladin, healing his injuries.
At the same time, a tan lizard suddenly burst out from the ground beneath Renn's feet, its sharp claws aimed straight for Renn's vitals.
Sizzle.
A spark ignited from the lizard's claws and the spatial barrier surrounding Rein.
"Lucifer, it's up to you. Bring him back alive," Renn said calmly.
As soon as Raine finished speaking, a jet-black scythe exuding a black aura appeared out of nowhere from behind the lizard.
The scythe slashed, and the lizard was instantly split in two.
Upon closer inspection, an executioner wielding a scythe and wearing a black cloak was standing behind the lizard's corpse.
Meanwhile, Lucifer chuckled softly beside the shop, "Understood."
“Go, executioner,” Lucifer said to his shadow servant.
The cloaked figure wielding a scythe vanished instantly.
