Chapter 221: Interception

Two days later.

"Brother!"

Neymar saw Karoso and excitedly jumped into his arms.

These past days, she and Sophia had been locked away. At first, they were kept together, but as more people from the church arrived, they were able to have their own rooms. Both of them felt very lonely.

Jenny did not leave, and neither did Karoso; both were waiting for the person they were meant to wait for.

On this day, Celica suddenly gathered everyone together and asked them to temporarily move to another branch of the Church of Dawn Goddess.

No one thought too much about it; they just went along with the transfer.

Celica brought a seventh-tier Paladin and a small team for escort.

Instead of taking a plane, she chose an off-road vehicle.

"Long time no see," Karoso gently patted Neymar’s back, "have you been practicing hard these days?"

The warmest person says the coldest words.

"Hmm!" Neymar replied a little shyly.

Staying at the church was so comfortable; Neymar not only was not mistreated but gained two pounds.

These days, she read the magic books provided by the church every day. Although they were all basic, they were completely different from what she had learned, and she was immersed in a sea of knowledge.

Since she was immersed in knowledge, her practice naturally fell behind; she was not like Karoso, who had that kind of self-discipline.

"Miss!" Jenny hugged Sophia tightly.

"Hmm, Jenny!" Sophia happily picked up Jenny and spun around several times.

"Huh?" Jenny looked confused; the young lady’s strength had grown so much!

Then she remembered that the young lady had suddenly become a master and no longer needed her protection.

Thinking of this, Jenny couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

It seemed that after she finished accompanying the young lady, she would have to resign from her bodyguard job.

She was a bodyguard, and when her employer no longer needed her, she naturally had to leave to protect someone else.

"Alright, the reunion part is over," Celica clapped her hands and said, "It’s time for everyone to get in the car."

……

Sitting in the car, Karoso looked out the window at the messy City of Freedom and sighed.

So many people place their hopes in elusive gods, not realizing that when human strength reaches its peak, it can be as powerful as a god.

Now all the native people of the City of Freedom are participating in the post-disaster rebuilding work, and the kingdom has also sent many people to help with the reconstruction.

The buildings were not damaged too much, but there are all kinds of corpses throughout the city, and just cleaning these will require a lot of manpower.

Furthermore, the interiors were severely damaged; some buildings will become dangerous to enter.

The group traveled in two vehicles. Karoso, Neymar, Kirmin, Jenny, Sophia, and Celica were in one vehicle, while the knight group rode in the other.

Both vehicles were large, extended SUVs, spacious enough for everyone.

It did not take long before the vehicles left the city, heading towards another city.

After about a day’s journey, night soon fell.

"Bishop, should we keep going?"

"Of course," Celica said, "if we don’t rest, we can reach the destination by tomorrow daytime."

"Yes."

After about half an hour of driving, Celica suddenly felt her hair stand on end.

"Stop the car!"

Celica shouted loudly.

Whoosh!

A dagger flew towards Celica from a distance.

Celica quickly summoned her weapon, which looked like a magic wand and a sword, and instantly got up to draw her sword.

The car had no roof, as if it were attracting something.

Celica realized she was right!

Ding!

With a sharp sound, Celica was knocked away by the dagger and fell to the ground.

She swung her long sword and looked coldly ahead.

There was a shadow standing in the tree, hiding in the darkness, holding a dagger in her hand.

"So, you really waited for me. Now tell me, who are you after?" Celica threw out card after card, equipping them to herself, blessings following one after another, as a wave of hot energy spread through her body.

Celica was trying to lure the snake out of its hole this time.

No matter if the enemy was after Neymar or Sophia, she had a target.

Although the church sent people to handle this matter after hearing the news, Celica did not want to be doubted.

If she could solve it herself, she would.

The Paladins, seeing this, quickly got off the carriage.

"Make sure to protect yourselves and these little children. No one should interfere!" Celica commanded.

Minaret gently licked the dagger.

The woman before her was very strong!

In that moment, Minaret’s blood was boiling.

After coming out, she only fought ordinary opponents and had never faced a master like a Sword Master.

She did not speak; she was a thief, not a warrior.

As a thief, facing a warrior head-on was a disgrace for an assassin.

Buzz!

The shadow of Minaret vanished, and when it reappeared, it was already to the left of Celica.

Bang!

The dagger and the sword clashed, and Celica’s pupils narrowed.

This person has great strength and incredible speed!

In terms of speed, they are even faster than me.

This person is not someone like Red Herman; who are they? Is there really such a strong thief in the world?

Celica recognized Minaret’s face, but it was not anyone she knew.

Whoosh!

Before she could remember clearly, this person disappeared again.

Karoso and the others did not get off the vehicle; instead, they watched Celica fight.

"How amazing…" Sophia knew how strong Celica was. How could anyone dare to attack her?

Karoso looked at the bullet comments on the screen, and the bullet comments were going crazy.

[Wow, isn’t that Minaret?]

[The ancestor of thief assassins, Minaret!]

[Minaret was not part of Ideal Homeland in the story; she appeared in The Tragedy of the Dark Elves event and never helped us fight against Master Karoso.]

[This is the leader of the dark elf organization.]

[It seems to be at the eighth tier now?]

[It should be close to the ninth tier, right?]

[We have a mission to save Minaret; it seems she is locked in the church’s dungeon. How did she escape?]

[Her appearance has changed, her hair color has changed, but her hairstyle and clothes remain the same.]

[A top thief! The only legendary thief card!]

[This female character is special; she has someone she likes right from the start. Normally, game companies do not let female characters have someone they like.]

[Yes, she has always missed someone, but we don’t know who.]

[It must be a dark elf; she can’t really like a human.]

[She said that person is the only one who won without making her angry.]

[She didn’t say she liked him, right? She only said she wants to duel with him again.]

[Wow, that CG smile is so innocent; it must be love, right?]
