A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Sophia said she wanted to live in the underground city... Now it seems obviously impossible..." Ke Lulu put the backpack behind her, which was bigger than her, on the ground and complained.

"Well, the structure of the dungeon has changed. This is indeed a miscalculation."

I began to feel lucky that I didn't have much luggage to bring...

"Hello, is this Miss Sophia and her group in the tent?"

As soon as we unloaded our luggage, a woman's voice was heard outside the tent.

"Exactly. Who are you, sir?"

"...I have something important to discuss with you. Would you allow me to meet you?"

Sophia glanced at the three of us, and after confirming that there were no objections, she said to the woman outside the account:

"Please come in."

"Many thanks."

The curtain was drawn aside, and a woman wearing leather armor and an eyepatch on her right eye walked in.

As soon as we entered the tent, the woman saluted and said:

"I have heard of the Duke of the North for a long time. It is a great honor to meet Miss Sophia today."

"No need to be so polite, first tell me who you are and why you are here..."

"Since Miss Sophia is not so particular, I will speak frankly."

"My name is Ann Gwynblade, from 'Gravekeeper'. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."

Gravekeeper?

I've never heard of this organization...

I looked at Sophia, and it seemed that she had never heard of this name either.

"So you're the gravekeeper. I've heard a lot about you... Why are you here in the Dorok Kingdom, thousands of miles away, instead of staying in the mountains of the Faga Kingdom?"

But Lulu said in a bad tone.

It can be seen that Kolulu is very dissatisfied with this organization called Gravekeepers.

"Ms. Kelulu of the Muxing Family, there is no need to look at us in this way. We are still willing to maintain the most basic respect for the neutral Muxing Family..."

"You say 'respect'... but isn't it just secretly investigating other people's backgrounds?"

"This is our custom. If I have offended you, I apologize." The woman bowed again.

"Hmph." But Lulu didn't seem to appreciate it. She snorted coldly, turned her head and stopped talking.

"Well, Miss An, you said you want to discuss cooperation. Before that, as a sign of sincerity, shouldn't you reveal your background first?"

Sophia took over the conversation and decided to find out the other party's identity first.

"Yes, if I don't express our sincerity in cooperating, it will be easy for you to misunderstand me."

"We, the grave keepers, were originally members of the 'Secret Knights' of the Holy Light Church..."

The Secret Knights?

When the "Secret Knights" were mentioned, Sophia's slightly frowned brows finally relaxed a little, perhaps because she had heard of this name before.

The woman named An began to tell the origin of the gravekeeper.

At the beginning, they were under the Holy Light Church of the Papal State of Marley, a special operations organization called the "Hidden Knights", which obeyed the will of the church and dealt with various evil spirits on the continent.

However, the fact is that the evil spirits were not eliminated much, and they just became the knife that stabbed people in the back of the church. According to An himself, the secret knights hundreds of years ago did a lot of stupid things that harmed their own kind...

Until one day, the church's reckoning fell on the Knights themselves. To put it bluntly, they were just destroying the bridge after crossing it, and then abandoning the dog after the rabbit died...

Only a few people who escaped the liquidation of the Knights remained and hid in the martial kingdom of Faga. With the support of the king, they rebuilt a new organization called "Gravekeepers". They picked up the original intention of the Knights and traveled around the continent to deal with various supernatural and evil events...

This time, I appeared here because I heard that a suspected ancient vampire appeared in the dungeon, so I came here to deal with it...

"That's the situation. What we want to do is to work together with you to eradicate this threat."

After An finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for Sophia's response.

"Why do you need to cooperate with us? We have no experience in fighting against ancient vampires."

"You are the only ones who have reached the deepest part of the dungeon. You also have a good relationship with the Adventurer's Guild. Some of you are mediating among them, which is quite convenient for us to act..."

Ah...finally telling the truth...this is their real purpose...

Sophia pondered for a moment and said:

"...I have a question, specifically, how are you going to handle this?"

An seemed not to have anticipated Sophia's question and was slightly surprised. He explained:

"I didn't expect Miss Sophia to ask such a question..."

"Go deep and kill all the vampires. It's that simple."

It is really concise and to the point... On the surface, it seems as if one asked nothing and the other answered nothing.

But I know Sophia would not ask meaningless questions, there must be a hidden meaning behind her asking this question.

"...I understand. We will seriously consider your proposal and give you a reply as soon as possible."

"Very good. I will wait for your good news at the entrance of the underground city the day after tomorrow."

After saying this, An bowed again and left the tent.

......

"Sophia, you're not really going to agree to these annoying fanatics..."

After everyone had gone far away, Lulu said to Sophia.

"I think it's worth a try."

"No way, are you serious..."

"Although I don't know how the gravekeeper is doing now, and I know very little about the Secret Knights, but I know their common predecessor... that shouldn't be wrong."

"You mean... a demon hunter?"

"Well, the transformation of the Secret Knights into the Gravekeepers is more of a return to the original intention than a return to the original intention..."

“Back to basics… is this really appropriate to describe them?”

"At least they are reasonable and don't fight over a disagreement... right?"

Indeed, he did not show any displeasure when he saw Kalulu, and he also showed a certain respect for the Kalulu family... although it was not much...

"Besides, I just asked her about her 'plan'... Her answer revealed that they obviously didn't know the secrets hidden in this city. They came here just because they heard rumors... Their purpose is very pure and they don't have any ulterior motives. They are partners that can be cooperated with. I think they are even more trustworthy than the Guild, not to mention the Blood Clan or the Church."

"...Okay...I'll do whatever you say, provided they really won't harm me..."

"Um...what on earth were you talking about just now? Why can't I understand?"

Beorra asked, holding up the wooden spoon.

"Don't worry about that stupid Beorra, just focus on cooking..."
