Chapter 135 To start with the basics
– “The Devils grow in number each day, but we become less”
“The Holy City of Taqila has already fallen into the hands of the enemies, the only option left to us is to scatter in all directions”
“We fled over mountains and across rivers, as far as possible from the Gates of Hell”
“But next time, where should we flee?” –
“What do you think about it?” Back in his office, Roland closed the illusion of the ancient book and turned to Scroll to get her opinion of it
“In case what the Knight remembered is the truth, this would really be an incredible coincidence” Scroll pondered for a moment about her next words, “The content of the treasure map and what’s recorded in the ancient book is the same, so this proves that the Church had once stepped into the Wild Lands and constructed a point of resistance against the Devils there In addition, the points marked on the map are perhaps the defense towers, posts, warehouses, or whatever they built there”

“That is a viable option” Roland iive her her new o to the North Slope Mine while you get ready to give your next lesson If you need more copies of the books, you should find Soraya, she will handle it for you Don’t forget to continue to give the”
