In the shallows of the lake, the angel statue appears dim ...... The girl has been staring at this angel statue for a long time.

Boss Luo had been waiting patiently, not even making a sound to disturb it.

"Holy...Meere."

The young girl suddenly murmured, this was not the first time the name had been mentioned from her mouth.

"It's [Saint Meere]."

This time, the young girl's voice was a little more certain, and she even took another step, heading directly towards the submerged beach in the center of the lake - even though there was a submerged beach in the center of the lake, there was still a certain depth to the water before she reached it.

She would be completely submerged in the water ...... It was supposed to be like this.

But the moment the girl let Na touch the lake, she actually condensed a small piece of light directly beneath her feet ...... Light floated on the water and became the girl's foothold.

She didn't sink into the water.

She just slowly approached the shallows in the center of the lake under a piece of coalesced light and brilliance.

Boss Luo thought of the allusion to the [Step by Step Lotus] at this time ...... but it was clear that the maiden would not be the one from the [Step by Step Lotus] story.

He also followed the maiden towards the shallows in the center of the lake.

It was just that the moment Boss Luo stepped into the glow, the glow shattered directly, as if it was telling that no one could pass through except for the maiden.

"Am I not welcome." Boss Luo said softly.

At this time, the glow behind the maiden shattered piece by piece, but it quickly coalesced again piece by piece, becoming a new foothold.

Boss Luo smiled slightly, "Thank you."

He stepped into the new foothold, unhurriedly keeping up with the maiden in front of him ...... Soon, the maiden had stepped into the shallows of the heart of the lake and walked straight towards the angel statue at the very center.

This angel statue, from a distance nothing, but up close, it is still quite tall, even at this time is one knee kneeling posture, still a little higher than the maiden.

It was just that the angelic statue had its head down, but it was hard to see its face clearly.

The young girl then suddenly did an unexpected move.

She held the angel statue's face with both hands, as if she wanted to raise its head, but the head of the statue was fixed, which obviously couldn't be done.

At some point, Boss Lowe was already at the young girl's side, and he asked in a low voice, "Why did you do that?"

It was as if she had suddenly gained a bit of clarity from some sort of trance, and her hazel eyes were clearer, "I don't know why, I just simply wanted to see what it looked like."

Boss Luo thought, "Since it was lowered, perhaps it didn't want anyone to see its face."

The young girl thought, "I can just as well see it if I bend down ah ...... This explanation doesn't seem to make sense?"

Boss Luo laughed without comment, "It's true that we can't see it under normal circumstances, but bending down would be an insistence to do so."

The young girl shook her head, she didn't understand why she had to be so particular with an inanimate statue...as if there was a living person inside this statue.

That said, it never occurred to her that her desire to hold the statue's face up was an illogical act in itself.

"[Holy Meher]." Boss Luo then suddenly said.

The young girl was startled, "You seem to have just mentioned this name, so why are you bringing it up again? This statue, is it the statue of [Saint Michael]?"

This is what you brought up, twice as well.

Boss Luo looked at the young girl but said something else, "It seems that the legends circulating in your village have some discrepancies with the real thing. This angel statue doesn't look like a demon in the lake by any means."

"Hmm." The young girl nodded.

"Is this the prototype of the demonic sword in the lake?" The young girl now looked at the sword that the angel statue held in both hands and stuck in the ground, and subconsciously touched it.

It looked to be just an ordinary stone sword, nothing special about it.

It was only ......

"It can be picked up!" The young girl now gave a low cry.

The stone longsword held by the angelic statue's hands was easily shaken by the maiden ...... she had pulled the stone longsword out of the angelic statue's hands with just a little effort, and also swung it twice in passing.

The stone longsword is quite heavy in the hand, the girl wielding it obviously has the feeling of not taking advantage of it.

She shook her head and casually put the stone longsword on the ground, "I can't help but think that the legend of the Magic Sword that has been passed down in the village of Dunlamy is probably a story that someone in the village made up to scare children because they had wandered into this place, saw the lake, the angel statue and the stone longsword, and then passed it down from generation to generation, and it became a legend! ."

"Miss Jeanne seems to have grown up listening to that legend." Boss Luo chuckled.

The young lady paused to glare, her face unhappy, "I thought you were an intelligent person, but you didn't understand what I was saying! So disappointing!"

As soon as Boss Luo's thoughts changed, he said, "What Jeanne-san means is that since someone had once mistakenly entered this place back then and made up a story based on what they saw here, it means that there exists a way out of here."

"That's not so stupid!" The young woman laughed softly and nodded, "People can't pass down stories if they don't go back ...... There must be a way to get out of here."

"That's just your guess, Miss Jeanne." Boss Lowe suddenly said.

The young woman turned back, her eyes bright, "Do you want to embrace hope or let despair consume you?"

I'm afraid this isn't a question that I can muddle through just by asking for all of it as an adult.

Boss Luo at this time seriously said, "I think Miss Jeanne can bring hope, cheerful you are like the embodiment of hope, so if you choose you, it is naturally the same as embracing hope."

Then wouldn't embracing hope be the same as embracing ......

The young woman looked a little weirder, and whirled her head over quickly.

--This guy is so bad!

--The marriage contract was only a unilateral agreement from the father!

--what is he trying to do ...... trying to hug me?

--No...that's something you can only do if you're married!

--No ...... I haven't said yes yet!

"Quick...find a way out of here!" The young woman now said hurriedly, "We have delayed too long, now is not the time...not the time to chat, later...later will be the time."

"Later?"

"...... You go find it over there!" The young woman now reached out, pointing in any direction, and said angrily, "Don't waste time!"

With that, the girl took the stone longsword in her hand and headed in the other direction ...... Only this time there was no glow holding her up so she quickly walked into the water and the lake was up to her legs in no time.

"Strange, how did I just walk in here?" The young girl turned around ...... looking at the bad guy with a puzzled face.

The bad guy was still in the shallows in the heart of the lake, just turning his back to her and then looking ahead.

"What's wrong?" The young girl subconsciously frowned, her vision moved a little, then her face changed slightly for a moment, "No! This weird thing is actually coming after us!"

At the cave passage into this underground strange lake, a figure with a body that had a crack that radiated firelight could be seen slowly approaching at this time!

This strange fellow was now stepping directly into the lake water and coming towards the shallows.

Its body was still incomparably hot, and the moment it stepped into the lake, it made the water boil wildly, turning into a thick mist of water vapor!

"Maybe the tales of legends aren't all made up ......" the girl thought subconsciously, but quickly threw her head back and shook the clutter away, shouting, "Get out of here! It's gaining on us! Hey-!!!"

"It doesn't seem to be able to get through." Luo Qiu suddenly said.

The young girl looked in disbelief ...... subconsciously, but she saw that this strange guy with a blazing hot body, although it was still madly making the lake water boil, but it seemed like... it seemed like it couldn't really move forward?

She moved her body in the water, step by step pushing up into the shallows again, and came to the side of Rokku wetly.

Bang, bang, bang-!

At this point, the strange guy started flapping wildly, and the sound became louder and louder because of its flapping ...... At this point, the young girl finally saw that there seemed to be an invisible barrier around this shallow shoal, and because of the barrier, the blazing strange guy couldn't get close!

"Could it be, this is the power of angels ......" the girl subconsciously looked at the angelic statue in the center and muttered to herself, "This is a miracle! I saw a miracle! I saw the [Holy Meal]!"

The blazing monster fellow was still madly slapping the invisible barrier, it even went so far as to break its head and hit it hard, its appearance becoming more and more hideous and horrifying.

But Boss Luo said at this point, "Depends on the situation, it won't come over in a short time. But in the meantime, we can't get out."

"We can't stay here forever." The young girl shook her head, "Even if it's safe here, but there's no actual food, we'll starve to death sooner or later, and it might also have to break the barrier ...... Is it only by knocking down this strange guy that we can leave here?"

Suddenly, the girl took a deep breath and held the stone longsword up in her hands.

"Miss Jeanne, what do you want to do." Boss Lo spoke out now.

"It was the Celestial Stone statue that drew me here." The young woman seemed to be back in that hazy state, she now placed her forehead on top of the stone longsword, "I was praying to it ...... the angel's power prevented the strange creature from entering, and the angel's power might also allow me to defeat it. [Holy Meal], please listen to my heart, I, Jeanne d'Arc, hereby wish to be the sword in your hand ...... Please give me guidance, please give me courage, please give me strength."

But then Boss Lowe frowned.

His eyes fell on the statue of the bowed angel, a flash of color in his eyes ...... He quickly returned to his original calm appearance and whispered, "You are not her ......"

At this moment, a glow, released from the stone longsword, rose up into the sky ...... The glow brought a powerful force.

The water of the underground lake instantly parted and gushed open because of this glow of the sword's light.

The young girl's eyes emitted a horrifying divine light, and with both hands, she cut down the stone longsword in her hands!

In an instant, the sword light turned into a long curtain of light that engulfed the blazing monster in the lake directly ...... Within the light, the miserable screams of the blazing monster could be clearly heard!

The light, for an instant also covered all the bright light of the underground lake's crystal ...... as if, became a world of holy light.

For a moment.

The water of the lake that was separated, began to gather again, and all of a sudden became cloudy.

On the shallows, the young girl was now gasping for breath, supporting her body with the stone longsword in her hand ...... She seemed to have expended too much energy, so much so that her face became incomparably pale.

The stone longsword, which had now hidden the glow it was releasing, changed back to its normal appearance.

"It worked!" The young girl now looked with surprise and excitement at the side of Boss Luo and exhaled, "I really had to defeat this monster! It's the power given to me by [Holy Meal]!"

"Congratulations, Mademoiselle Jeanne." Boss Lowe said with a soft smile, "You've managed to embrace hope."

"Well!"

Perhaps it was the joy of defeating the monster that filled her heart, but the young girl didn't care about the slightly cold attitude of the unofficial betrothed.

Perhaps ...... he was also in the midst of shock at this point and couldn't calm his mind enough to react?

Rumble-!

At this moment, there was a sound from the rock wall in front of where the two of them were located, and then the rock wall began to crack ...... This was the place that was impacted by the light released by the stone longsword!

The rock wall after the crack, actually exposed a not too small passage to ...... and at the same time, the whistling wind directly from the passage.

The young girl perked up, "The sound of wind! That means this road connects to the outside! Great! Not just defeating the monster, but finding the exit! This must be [Saint Michael's] arrangement! It's looking out for us!"

"Yeah." Boss Luo smiled casually, "It really seems like it's arranged."

"Let's get out of here!" The young girl excitedly walked up to Boss Lowe and subconsciously grabbed hold of him, pulling him into action.

"Miss Jeanne."

"What's wrong?" The young woman turned back.

Boss Luo said, "We should be swimming over, pulling me, and holding this sword, you are afraid that you are going to sink."

"Also ......" the young girl was startled, whirled around and nodded, then electrocuted some of her hands loosened Boss Luo's palm, blushing slightly, "This is the sword of victory given to me by [Holy Meal], I must take it with me! ...... you swim by yourself! You keep up, I'll go over and explore the road first!"

Saying that, the maiden tried to walk into the water with the sword.

The miraculous scene happened again, the stone longsword in the maiden's hands, instead of sinking into the water, it floated ...... floating on top of the lake, pulling the maiden towards the edge of the lake at once.

Looking at the young girl at the edge of the lake, whose eyes were constantly checking the stone longsword, and who was constantly surprised, Boss Luo's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"You come quickly! Don't just stand there!" The young girl suddenly waved loudly and shouted.

Boss Luo just nodded and walked straight into the water ...... But then the water level of the lake began to drop rapidly, even forming a huge whirlpool!

The lake water began to pour into the whirlpool, and the water level was also dropping wildly, but in a moment's time, the entire underground lake had been drained from ...... only to see Boss Luo walking leisurely towards the lake.

"This must also be a gift from [Holy Meal] ......" the young girl looked at Boss Luo who easily walked over and murmured to herself.

"Since it's a boon, it must want you to return to the village as soon as possible." Boss Luo casually said, "Miss Jeanne, let's go."

"Also right!" The young girl nodded her head.

Watching the young girl, now in a confident stance, rush right into the passage that had appeared due to the impact of the glow, Boss Lobo looked back coldly at the statue of the angel in the center of the lake.

"I'm ah... starting to want to hate this place."

Ka-ching.

Instantly, a slender crack appeared fiercely behind the penitent-like angel statue out in the center of the lake.

At this point, Luo Qiu casually looked again somewhere at the bottom of the lake that had been drained of water, and he extended his palm forward and snapped his fingers lightly before turning around and walking into the broken passage.

......

Drained of the muddy bottom of the lake, there is suddenly a hand sticking out of the mud ...... above the arm, with a crack in it.

The cracks were like lava flowing, emitting a fiery breath all around.

......

......

......

......

[City of Freedom].

Before a complex office building in a busy commercial area, three ember lights quietly fell on the rooftop of the building ...... the young man in white, as well as two high-ranking angels' attendants.

The female angel now flew, "According to Dr. Hank's Destiny log record, the merchant who sells imported medicine is working in this building."

The white-clothed young man nodded indifferently and was about to speak.

Suddenly.

His face changed slightly ...... pale at this instant, then actually spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

"My lord-!"

The two senior angels were instantly horrified ...... horrified!
