I have a Synthesizer

Becky walked downstairs with a stiff expression. She knew that Klein was blatantly threatening her, but there wasn't much she could do.

Klein was also well aware that Becky's becoming his captain was likely his father, Esmond's, intention.

Monitoring and observing him were fine; it was something his father would inevitably do. Even if it wasn't Becky, it could be A-cky or B-cky. Klein was perfectly fine with it.

But even if you're a monitor, you have to be honest and obedient in front of me.

If you're not obedient enough, then I'll just have to find a new captain.

Klein felt that a paladin like Becky, who could withstand and fight, could alleviate some of the frontal pressure when encountering strong enemies.

Plus, she seemed to be relatively intelligent, and her identity as a knight meant she would abide by many rules.

Having someone like that around was much less troublesome than having a stubborn, self-righteous person around.

When the two walked downstairs, they found Eric staring at the church behind them. Becky asked, puzzled,

"What's wrong?"

"Take a look for yourselves!"

Klein and Becky turned around. The building behind them no longer resembled a cathedral in the slightest.

It was dilapidated, covered in blackened bloodstains, and showed signs of battle. A musty and rotten smell began to spread slowly, like a haunted house.

Klein also noticed that the four statues at the corners of the church had disappeared.

He didn't know if all of this was because he had taken the Skull of the Candle Demon.

However, it was certain that the previous church had been beautified by the illusion of the Skull of the Candle Demon, and what they were seeing now was the church's original appearance.

"Let's go. Let's continue looking at the other ancient buildings to see if there are any traces of the Red \u0026 White Society members."

Klein was rarely so proactive. In reality, he just wanted to see if the remaining buildings contained other components of the candlestick.

As for finding members of the Red \u0026 White Society, well, the mission required it, and the slogan had to be shouted.

Fortunately, there were only about a dozen buildings here, so finding people naturally meant checking them one by one. Klein's words weren't problematic.

…

Klein and Eric followed behind Becky, heading towards another single-story, flat-roofed building.

After some exploration, the three of them entered what should be considered the back kitchen.

As soon as they entered, their footsteps stopped.

Here, there were actually many large pots, cooking something. The room was full of the smell of cooked meat, mixed with a strong bloody and foul odor, which was extremely pungent.

Klein's expression was not good. The smell was too disgusting. He didn't have the ability to ignore various smells and could only endure it.

Not only him, but even Becky had a grimace on her face, while Eric even exaggeratedly gagged a few times.

Although the bloody smell was very strong, the environment here was exceptionally clean. At least at first glance, one could tell that someone came to clean it regularly.

This strong contrast gave a very strange feeling. Klein put a layer of shadow protection barrier on himself, just in case.

Eric, covering his nose, said to Becky,

"Captain, it's your time to shine! Go and see what's being cooked!"

Although Becky's expression was unpleasant, Eric's words were correct. These things couldn't always be done by mages and priests, right?

Moreover, why was something being cooked here? Was it man-made? She also wanted to know the specific situation.

She walked towards the pots. Just as Becky was about to open one of the pots,

Suddenly, Klein felt like there was something behind them, staring at them.

He and Eric exchanged glances and found that Eric was already looking behind them.

Turning around, they saw a dark shadow slowly crawling towards them, stopping not far away, a pair of red eyes staring at the three of them.

What to do when encountering danger? Of course, call the captain! That's politically correct. So, Eric spoke again.

"Hey! Captain, something has bad intentions towards us! Come and take a look!"

Becky was a little helpless. This guy Eric was useless at everything except calling for help.

"No need to look, there are already plenty in front of me."

"Uh!"

Klein and Eric turned their heads again. Sure enough, the darkness at the corner in front of Becky was already filled with the same crimson eyes.

Moreover, more demonic beasts were crawling in from the windows.

These demonic beasts were a bit like large cats, but much uglier than cats, with no fur on their bodies and exposed muscles.

The claws and fangs looked very sharp, the upper arms were longer than the lower limbs, and a pair of red pupils were full of bloodthirsty intent.

"This thing should be a Bone Eater, right? They were introduced in biology class. After hunting prey, they even chew up and swallow the bones.

However, Bone Eaters should be solitary creatures. This number is a bit strange!"

After Eric's analysis, Klein had already pulled out Fallen Leaf.

"With so many, it won't be easy to leave! Prepare yourselves!"

Eric tugged on Klein's clothes.

"Hey, hey! Klein, want to buy medical insurance? Only 50 Thales, guaranteed not to die! I'll heal you until you're as fierce as a warrior."

"Get lost!"

While Eric was still promoting his medical insurance, the first Bone Eater had already rushed up. Klein didn't choose to attack immediately.

He also wanted to see what the strength of this team was. With this number of Bone Eaters, even if Becky and Eric wanted to hold back, they probably couldn't.

Facing the Bone Eater pouncing on the team, Becky gently swung her greatsword, splitting it in half.

This sword was the one Becky used to block the Flame Blade during the Fire Blade Cult mission. Klein still clearly remembered the scorch marks on it.

Now, in Becky's hands, this greatsword felt less heavy and more agile. Becky's movements were also much more ethereal than before, with significant improvements in both strength and agility.

Her fighting style was very close to the former Lilith, fast and concise. It seemed that she had put a lot of effort into this.

More Bone Eaters had already pounced up. Three golden shields appeared on each of them, helping Klein and them to withstand the Bone Eaters' attacks.

This shield was Eric's masterpiece.

"I've already given you the shield, Klein, don't be a coward, go!"

Klein was speechless. He didn't believe that Eric could kill so many teammates just by relying on his healing abilities, so he wanted to test his true strength.

But he never thought that even at this time, Eric could still hold back. In the end, he still underestimated Eric's ability to slack off.
