Chapter 164: Identity as an ascetic! The final level!

The two priests were seriously injured, and the magic power of the abyss was constantly eroding them.
Even when the little saint was in her prime, she might not be able to cure them, let alone now.
"Your Highness... you are also injured. Don't waste your energy on us!"
"There are powerful demons here, you, run away!"
"We, for you, stop them!"
The two priests struggled, using their cross swords to support their bodies, and took a step forward to stand between the little saint and the two biological demon spirits.
"Don't worry, they are not enemies." The little saint said calmly.
"Not an enemy?"
"That's right." The little saint nodded, "They belong to the power of the ascetic."
"Master Heratugus the Ascetic?" The two priests were shocked at first, and then showed expressions of relief.
"What are you talking about?" Chen Yu also walked over and asked curiously.
The name "Heratugus" is exactly the identity of Chen Yu's virtual body.
The two priests looked at Chen Yu with doubtful expressions, and then looked at the little saint.
The little saint nodded to them.
"Lord Ascetic!" The two priests showed reverence.
Chen Yu suddenly looked confused.
My virtual body in the mission is actually an existence with a lofty status!
It is absolutely strange for a small third-level elite monster to be respected by a priest of the same level, or even a more powerful saint.
However, this can also explain how ordinary people can complete the task when they enter the trial and are restricted to die at the third level.
Before rescuing the saint, even if we find other priests to join forces.
If you don't have a certain status, why should people trust you? Why should I follow your plan?
The identity of "Heratugus the Ascetic" should be a very important part of the mission.
However, new problems have arisen.
The little saint obviously knew Heratugus.
But he didn't show anything along the way.
Even when Chen Yu was coerced by some kind of will and said the name "Heratugus" before, she didn't show any signs of it.
"etc--"
Chen Yu suddenly remembered that the little saint was not without any performance.
The first time he met the little saint was when he came in his true form and broke into the courtyard to save people.
The first time the little saint saw him, she was surprised for a moment and frowned in thought.
Then, he asked Chen Yu, "Who are you?"
Chen Yu didn't pay too much attention at the time.
Now that I think about it, the little saint's reaction at that time was not so reasonable.
First, the little saint is an intelligent character who is close to absolute rationality. For a moment, she even reminded him of a famous figure "Colonel Chu".
With this kind of personality, you should never be surprised when a stranger approaches you.
The first sentence asked should not be meaningless nonsense like "Who are you?"
Second, after being rescued, the little saint tested him inexplicably many times.
For example, when we meet, say "If you like me, I allow you to do anything to me..."
This may seem like she is devoting everything she has to survive, but in fact it is even more inconsistent with the character of the little saint.
A person who is good at using wisdom to create favorable conditions for himself would never make such a feeble request.
For another example, just after escaping from the tiger's mouth and entering the woods that the town used as a garbage dump, he directly wiped his own neck.
At that time, Chen Yu believed that the purpose of the Little Saint's temptation was to test her importance to him so as to coerce him into doing things.
The little saint also admitted this.
If you think about it carefully, both his guess and the little saint's admission are very ridiculous.
In that situation where she could die at any time, what was the little saint's request?
It was nothing more than letting Chen Yu escort her and save her life.
And for this kind of thing, is it necessary to use such drastic means as suicide to test it?
Regardless of success or failure, the relationship between the two will be worsened.
Now it seems that what the little saint tested was not Chen Yu's purpose of saving people at all.
Rather...
Does Chen Yu know the Little Saint, and how well he understands the Little Saint.
Combined with Chen Yu's virtual identity "Heratugus", it can be understood that the little saint is deliberately exploring whether Chen Yu is "Heratugus"!
"In that case, am I important to Heratugus?" Chen Yu frowned.
"Isn't it important to escape from the abyss area?"
"After she knew that I was not Heratugus himself, but a replacement, did it confirm what she thought?"
"After confirming something, her state changed a lot."
"Becomes... almost like an ordinary child."

"What kind of medicine is sold in this damn kid's little gourd?"
Chen Yu suddenly felt that there seemed to be a complex story hidden behind the originally simple mission plot line.
"Minato, what does this nonsense have to do with me? I'm just a bad player doing quests!"
The most important point is that the little saint is now a good child, at least in front of him.
As long as it doesn't affect the mission, it doesn't matter if she has eight hundred little ideas.
After deciding not to explore the plot anymore, Chen Yu asked the two half-dead priests with a straight face: "I rescued the saint, which direction can leave the junction area fastest?"
"My lord, you don't need to completely escort His Highness out of the junction area!" said a cleric.
"With the intensity of the demon's patrols, it would be difficult for even you to do this."
"So what if I can't do it?" Chen Yu said, "Are you going to stay here and wait to die?"
"No, that's not what we meant!" the priest said quickly.
"Knight Lord Dalia has led the Templar Knights into the junction area and is on a tour to kill demons and look for Her Highness the Saint."
"You only need to arrive at a specific area, then release the flare, and the Lord Knight will lead the knights to arrive."
After saying that, the cleric took out a few colored balls and a parchment map.
"This is where we are now."
The cleric points to a point on the map, then points to a red circle.
"This is the circuit area of ​​the Knights Templar."
"There is an abyss rock pillar in the middle of the area, and the surrounding abyss magic is very strong."
"As long as you can see the abyss pillars, you can release the signal bomb."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Yu took the flare and map.
This should be the final level of the trial mission.
Send the saint to the designated location and set off a signal for help.
Reinforcements can see flares, and so can demons.
Before the reinforcements arrive, it's time for hard-core combat missions.
He must ensure that the little saint does not die under the siege of the devil.
After getting the map, Chen Yu discovered that the junction area was ridiculously large.
Even after leaving the junction area, it would still take a long time to reach the temple city with strong defense.
Moreover, the further you go, the greater the density of demon patrols becomes.
If he had to escort him by himself, there would definitely be demons in the last distance who would release signals as soon as they discovered him, attracting a large number of other demons.
In this case, it would be better to just send out flares and attack them forcefully.
