Chapter 22: Ferdinand, Paladins, Gods, and a Largely Ignored Fork
Ferdinand goes into the village and starts killing the skeletons after seeing that there are considerably less and more spread out skeletons than the previous village.

As he is doing so, the paladin that he saw in the previous village (Lily) arrives, accompanied by another paladin (Luc). They introduce themselves, and enlist Ferdinand's help in fighting the necromancer, promising to train him as they travel. Ferdinand notes the existence of a cat in the village, now finding it very suspicious after a similar cat being in the previous village as well. Lily discovers that the necromancer had been observing them through the cats, and is able to obtain a rough location of the necromancer through it.

They travel to the nearest church in hopes of new information, and find that practically every village in the area are being attacked by skeletons.
