Dancing is not allowed on the grave

This is... where?

Dolores opened her eyes, but it was still dark, no different from when she was in a coma.

The last time this happened was when she was very young, because of her disobedience, she was imprisoned by His Majesty the Pope in a small dark room where she could not see her fingers.

She sat up, and there was a hoarse sound of boards shaking under her body.

It's an old wooden bed.

Rubbing her temples, she recalled what happened before she fell into a coma—that boy's eerie mansion, the cellar was full of torture instruments, soaking several corpses... He also said that he would kill His Majesty the Pope.

Although Dolores became suspicious when she saw the portrait on the wall, until she saw his red eyes and blood-stained appearance, she didn't want to believe that a boy with such bright and clean eyes would be murderous without blinking an eye demon.

Strange phenomena have frequently occurred in Karami Town, and you must not take it lightly when you come here to investigate. Originally, you planned to use the chain of light technique to imprison him and ask him clearly. Unexpectedly, the boy's sword was faster and sharper than she imagined, and he could cut him directly. Open the Asylum of the Holy Light blessed by the Pope.

There was a soft "chi" sound, and in the darkness, the flame of the kerosene lamp was ignited, and the dim yellow light suddenly lit up.

Dolores looked up.

Walking with a lantern was a skeleton with a very tall skeleton, a bone shield in the other hand, and a huge battle ax behind it.

"Undead!" She stepped back quickly, reaching out to take out the law code from the white robe - but there was nothing there.

"Crack——" the rotten wooden bed collapsed, and Dolores lost her balance and fell to the bottom of the bed.

Captain Skeleton strode over and stretched out his hand to grab her, while sighing: "Oh, we only have one bed here, if you break it down, there's nowhere to sleep."

Dolores was startled, but before she could react, she was picked up by the tall skeleton and placed on her shoulders.

Although the rough skeleton hurt her a little, but the opponent's movements were gentle. The skeleton put down the bone shield and adjusted the position so that the woman sat on the broad shoulders. The jaws opened and closed, and a deep and powerful voice came out: "I don't sit on my shoulders casually. In the past, only His Highness was treated like this."

As he spoke, he handed over the kerosene lamp and asked her to help carry it.

Dolores realized that the other party was not malicious, and temporarily pressed the idea of ​​​​casting the magic of the holy light, and asked aloud: "Who is your highness? Where are you taking me?"

"Eat." The other party said naturally, "Aren't you hungry after sleeping for so long?"

Dolores: "..."

She thought for a while, and then asked, "Where is this?" "It was originally the dungeon of Nathaniel's palace." The skeleton replied, "But your Highness said, we are no longer there, anyway, this is the underground world."

"Nathaniel?" Dolores frowned, "How come... who is that little Highness you're talking about?"

"Of course it was His Royal Highness Prince Nathaniel, who brought you back, don't you remember?"

"Didn't the royal family of Nathaniel perish a long time ago?" Seeing the soul fire in the skull's eye sockets shaking violently, Dolores asked again, "Then you are..."

"I am the captain of the palace guard, Ronald." The skeleton stared at her for a moment, and the soul fire fell silent. "But as you can see, I am a skeleton now."

Dolores was silent, and asked softly, "How did you become like this, necromancers?"

Ronald shook his head: "When we died, Losra didn't have necromancer magic. All of this was given by Grezel—he killed us with his own hands and resurrected us."

"Grazel?" Dolores raised her voice and blurted out, "Your Majesty the Pope?"

His footsteps stopped, and Ronald sneered: "It seems that you are also a loyal believer of that hypocrite. I really don't know how many people he has brainwashed."

"..." Dolores recalled the words she heard above the cellar, and vaguely understood the connection behind it, even though she didn't want to believe it.

That is His Majesty the Pope who raised her single-handedly and is respected by the world. Although he often disciplines himself strictly in private, he has always been gentle and kind in front of others. In the past, when wars broke out, His Majesty the Pope would intervene. The Holy See always lends a helping hand as soon as possible, how could it be...

Although there was a faint voice in her heart reminding her that Grezel had changed, and he started to wage war against Augustine, even in the name of maintaining peace.

Dolores could feel Ronald's hatred for the Pope, so she didn't defend herself, but thought for a while and asked, "Then you know, how can I get back to the ground?"

"I don't know." You Lan's soul fire glanced at her, "His Royal Highness said, let you live here temporarily."

"Where is he? Let me see him."

Ronald shook his head, "You can see him when he wants to."

Sitting on the shoulders of tall skeletons, Dolores could see farther into the underground world. Dolores saw dots of soft light, the wind blowing past, raising flickering spores and plant seeds, and bursts of lingering smell of decay.

Most of the luminescent mushrooms grow beside the winding path. There is a dark two-story house by the roadside. There is a kerosene lamp and a black iron signboard in front of the door——Dark Food Restaurant.

Dolores felt something was wrong, Ronald put her down and stepped forward to open the door.

Due to the abundance of mineral resources in the underground world, the decoration of this restaurant looks quite high-end and elegant. The walls are made of black metal, and there is an iron spiral staircase in the center. The light used for lighting is not the crystallization of light elements commonly used by nobles and rich people. Rather, it is a crystal light tube made by goblin craftsmanship.

A few dwarves and goblins were sitting around a round glass table, holding up their beer glasses (which contained a bubbling purple-black unknown liquid), chattering in a language that Dolores could not understand, but from the short pronunciation and Judging by the enthusiastic atmosphere, it is about: "Cheers!"

Wearing a tight leather jacket and net stockings, the red-haired beauty with horns flicked her small black pointed tail, used it to pick up a piece of jelly, and tried to feed it into her companion's mouth.

The silver-haired girl in the black cloak immediately leaned back tactically, the hood fell down to reveal the pointed elf ears, swiped the black dagger in her hand, cut off the opponent's tail, held it with her hand and threw it on the table.

"Oh, I still can't take a joke like that." The succubus ate the jelly as if nothing had happened, and then put the tail back.

A slime crept in from outside the door, and the spider sitting in the corner nodded the seat next to it with its long legs, and it slowly moved over.Miss Bat seemed a little dissatisfied with her late companion, she turned her back and pointed her butt at it.

The slime raised up "squeaky" and made two sticky tentacles flapping her wings, transforming into a four-legged reptile for a while, and transforming into a slender sword for a while, explaining why she was late.

It probably means that it was almost caught and eaten by a reptile on the way, but was saved by a sword.

The cook with a fish tail came out of the back kitchen with two plates of unknown objects, and when she saw the trio of elementary school chickens in the corner, her beautiful eyebrows frowned, "The ingredients are forbidden to be served!"

The three little monsters shrank under the table in fright. Ronald waved his hand, "Gladys, it's hard work for junior monsters to patrol the first floor all day. Let's make an exception and let them improve their food."

Dolores: "..."

She looked at the mud-like liquid in the black iron basin, and swallowed: "What do you call this, improving food?"

Ronald glanced at her, put the bone shield against the wall, and sat down on a seat: "This place is no better than the ground, and some food is good."

Gladys first went to the corner to order the junior monsters, and the slime took out the long-preserved slime from her body.

Liquid: "Gulu Gulu, Gulu Gululu."

Dolores froze for a moment, then asked Ronald in a low voice, "What is it talking about?"

"This is the slime I have saved for two weeks, please cook carefully."

Slime turned to his two companions again, raised it more than one meter high with a "crash", and the voice was louder, and he was faintly proud: "Gululululu!"

"I want you to know that I am the most delicious slime in the whole layer!" Ronald translated.

Spider and Miss Bat puffed out their legs and wings enthusiastically.

Dolores: "..."

Forgive her for not being able to understand the lofty ambitions of slime.

In fact, Dolores has never seen these monsters with her own eyes. She only saw relevant records in the books of the Holy See. They were all followers of the Demon King thousands of years ago. They should have been annihilated under the curse of His Majesty the Pope. That's right.

Unexpectedly, the monsters and demons in those paintings would actually appear in front of her at this time. Although they lived a miserable life underground, they were so lively and active-letting her, a saint of the Holy See, be born. In fact, monsters are not so terrible thought.

It would be a pity if it was really extinct.

This was an idea that never occurred to her when she read the history books of the Holy See.

Dolores shook her head, resting her elbows on the round table and resting her chin in thought.

Fortunately, I didn't reveal my identity to the boy, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting in a restaurant harmoniously with the monsters, but I would be cooking fresh dishes to improve the food.

But where is her Codex of Light?

If it was confiscated by the other party, there is no reason for him not to be able to guess his identity.

The siren cook ordered the junior monsters and walked to their table. Ronald pushed the menu to Dolores in a gentlemanly manner, "Ladies first."

"Uh." Dolores glanced at the name of the dish above, feeling a little embarrassed, "I...well, let me have a Q bomb slime jelly."

As he said that, he quickly pushed the menu back.

What are the charcoal-grilled spider legs for today, bath water for swamp crawling monsters... Isn't this embarrassing her, the Holy Maiden of Light?

I heard that the guests here ordered slime jelly, and the little monster in the corner donated generously, and contributed another piece of slime, inviting the blonde lady to taste her delicious secretions.

Dolores: "...ah, what an honor."

What the hell!Isn't that as shameful as drinking its milk in front of a cow!

"Click." The restaurant door was pushed open again, and the boy walked in with the package.

Ronald immediately got up and saluted, "Your Highness."

The monsters also gathered around, surrounded by His Highness the Prince and the scented package in his hand, screaming excitedly.

Syl smiled, opened the package and took out the packing box inside.

The boxes contained hot dishes and thick soups. The dishes were simple but fragrant, at least much more normal than the dark dishes here.

"The teleportation point has been built, and I brought some food from the town," Syl said.

Ah, saved... Dolores thought.
