We evil gods must hide.

Chapter 7 Die, Evil God!

"This place is even more magnificent than my Temple of Justice."

The swordsman stood upright in the center of the temple hall.

He gripped the sword with both hands and looked around.

Lin Qi stood to the side, keeping a low profile like a temple attendant.

The two remained silent for a long time.

The swordsman reached out and took off his helmet.

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Lin Qi's breathing paused for a few breaths.

Her long, fiery red hair was spread out loosely.

Her features were both defined and soft, indescribably beautiful; her lips were pursed, revealing a hint of confusion beneath her serious expression.

What impressed Lynch most were her amber eyes.

Inside, it seemed as if an inextinguishable flame was burning.

He never expected that the other person was a woman, and one who looked very young.

The female swordsman casually pointed at the center of her breastplate.

Click click click.

Under Lynch's gaze, the magnificent armor seemed to have a mechanism, unfolding from the chest to reveal the person inside.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Fiona, a swordswoman under the command of the God of Fairness."

"Oh... Lady Fiona, hello."

Lin Qi stared blankly at the stunningly beautiful girl who was shorter than him.

Fiona nodded, dressed in white, tight-fitting inner armor, and began to look around with great interest, her demeanor very elegant, completely out of place in the decaying temple hall.

The other woman's exquisite curves and beautiful face were so captivating that Lin Qi could only try his best not to look at her too much.

The other party looked around for a while, but quickly lost interest.

"Lord Lynch, I'll trouble you to guard this place."

"I will continue the clearing mission."

Click click click.

Fiona donned her armor and once again became the towering, invincible chosen swordswoman.

. . .

Fifth-year student at the Principality Warrior Academy.

The God of Fairness chose the swordsman, one of the youngest professionals in history.

However, Fiona never really cared about these messy titles. Well, what could she do? Her grandfather was a powerful duke, and as the only son of the third generation, all she had to do was honestly inherit the title and the family business.

Others say I'm a bit too straightforward.

Fiona didn't care at all.

For example, getting lost in a place while chasing a goblin warrior.

This is a test of fairness for oneself!

It's also an opportunity to appreciate these landscapes that I've never seen before.

As for the young man with black hair...

Fiona didn't care whether he was human or not; as long as he looked like a human, spoke like a human, and behaved like a human, then he was human.

Judging from how powerless the other party is, what can an evil god do?

After wandering around for a long time without finding anything, Fiona returned to the temple hall.

Standing at the entrance of the lobby.

A straight, dilapidated stone slab leads to the stone seat above, where a handsome but thin, black-haired boy is dozing off, his chin resting on his hand, blending into the dimly lit hall.

Fiona suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The light is distorted, and the image shifts.

The languid and elegant man on the throne smiled, while countless underground goblins below him bowed in worship, their thunderous shouts piercing the ears.

Hey~

She woke up with a start.

She frowned as she looked at the gleaming golden scales in her hand.

The existence of extraordinary objects is no ordinary matter.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and the chosen girl's gaze locked onto a mysterious figure who was dozing off.

Da Da Da~

She walked with graceful steps into the depths of the hall, finally standing below to face the black-haired boy.

She is indeed good-looking.

He was far more outstanding than most of the men in the college.

His demeanor is also spot-on; the way he sleeps makes you think he's some kind of dark lord.

Could someone like that be an ordinary monster investigator?

Fiona was indeed suspicious.

Sometimes, gods from other lands will roam in human form and wreak havoc on the human world.

Being a monster investigator is arguably the most grueling job on the mainland. There's no base salary; all rewards come from missions. You have to venture into dangerous areas and even join a mercenary group.

Although the laws of the principality prohibit mercenaries from charging them fees.

But which mercenary group would want ordinary people who are of no help and might even attract monsters?

Only those who are desperate will become investigators.

Fiona decided to test the waters.

Lin Qi slowly woke up.

He had a nightmare in a daze: a cold, damp underground palace where lava was gushing out due to an earthquake, causing the temperature to rise suddenly. Goblins and gray dwarves scattered and fled, leaving him trapped inside.

My body felt heavy, and I couldn't run no matter what I did.

Lin Qi struggled to open his eyes, but was immediately startled by the dazzling firelight, so he covered them again.

He saw a sun in the shape of a human.

"Open your eyes and look me in the eye."

A buzzing sound.

Fiona?

The longsword, radiating boundless heat, was only a few fingers' width away from Lin Qi's nose.

"Speak, you despicable Goblin King, what is your purpose in lurking here?"

Goblin King?

Lin Qi's forehead creased with annoyance.

Could this female swordsman have encountered something in the temple?

But he forced himself to remain calm, putting on a perfectly convincing expression of terror.

"I am investigator Lynch, born in 2840..."

Lin Qi recited all the information about the unlucky investigator in one go, speaking fluently from memory. You see, the Evil God had practiced countless times for this day.

After a long time, the temperature finally dropped.

Fiona was still only showing her head, her face still extremely beautiful, her big eyes looking herself up and down.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

"You really aren't?"

"It could be some kind of amoeba, a remnant of the Dark Elf Empire clinging to life, or a wicked mage lurking here after committing heinous crimes, or perhaps an unknown evil god secretly harvesting faith?"

Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained.

"Swordsman, there is absolutely no such being here. If I were in that position, would I allow goblins to defecate in the temple hall?"

Fiona looked around and nodded.

"What you say makes sense. I've never seen such a useless evil being."

Lynch: Okay, okay.

"But my divine will tells me that something is wrong with you."

"No monster investigator could live here alone for three months."

"Therefore, I have decided to let the god of fairness decide."

Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, how does the God of Justice carry out his judgments?"

Fiona didn't speak, but simply placed her golden scales on the ground.

"I beseech the great God of Justice to weigh the cost of taking you out of here."

"This represents you."

Fiona took out a glittering gold coin and placed it on the left side of the scale.

Then she took out a shiny crystal.

"This means it will be difficult to get you out of here, or it will be the price I have to pay."

"The price for killing the goblin warrior is approximately one crystal."

Fiona placed the crystal on the right side of the scale.

The crystal slowly sank, while the gold coin slowly rose.

Lin Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Fiona's expression gradually softened.

then.

swoosh~

The gold coins suddenly sank.

The crystal was flung away and shattered into powder on the ceiling, scattering everywhere—it was incredibly beautiful.

However, neither of the two people present were in the mood to appreciate it.

"Hmm, you really are no ordinary person."

"Die, you evil creature!"

Full combat mode activated.

Lin Qi suddenly felt as if there was a sun in front of him, about to scorch him to death.

"Please wait, sir!"

Lin Qi covered his eyes and shouted loudly.

"What last words does this dying evil creature have?"

"Your ruling is unfair!"

Fiona raised an eyebrow.

"How dare you openly question our Lord's judgment! You are truly a heretic!"

The heatwave intensified.

"Let's decide the price that Lady Fiona will have to pay for going out."

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the temperature seemed to drop a notch.

it works?

He slowly opened his eyes.

Upon noticing that the beautiful swordsman had already put on her helmet, turned her back to him, and gently waved, he realized she was a beautiful swordsman.

"I'm going back to exterminate the monsters."

"Uh~"

Lynch reached out to call out to her, but Fiona moved with lightning speed, disappearing out the door in an instant.
