Chapter 67: Joffrey and Kevin
The Wandering Holy Lance, Kevin Eno, is the only paladin known to the Reims Continent, and even known in this world, to enter the Holy Realm.
What is a paladin, you ask?
That's right, at first glance, paladins, knights, warriors, assassins, thieves, rangers, and the like all use vindictiveness, and their essence should be the same. However, this definition does not apply to paladins, because paladins are technically warriors, but if someone says that they are a variant of a priest, no one else will refute them.
Because they not only possess vindictiveness, but also are capable of unleashing divine powers, yes, every paladin is strictly a believer in a god that symbolizes justice or goodness. Because of their devout faith, the gods have also given them the power to unleash magic and manipulate the energy of light.
Belch...... There is one exception to this, and that is Alexander. This guy was born with the ability to manipulate light energy because of his status as a Light Breaker, but he couldn't use it to form divine arts. So, Alexander is a very watery paladin.
Because of the need for very devout faith and perseverance in the unremitting pursuit of goodness and justice, the number of knights who can really get God's favor is not very large, and the knights under the command of each church have also been suppressed by the two empires. Therefore, in this world, the rarity of a true paladin is actually not much compared to that of a mage.
Kevin Enault is a role model revered by all paladins on the continent.
But Joffrey is very disgusted with Kevin, because this guy is his brother's teacher. Joffrey was proud of his talent for magic, he was born so tall and heroic that even Ralvin was very happy with such a son. At that time, Alexander was just a frail and sickly little bean sprout. He doesn't have a strong body, he doesn't have a talent for magic, and he doesn't seem to be able to achieve anything!
Joffrey didn't hate Alexander at the time, and even when Alexander was only five or six years old, he liked his younger brother very much. He always defended Alexander as an older brother, and for this he also served as a scapegoat for Alexander and withstood Ralvin's punishment. But all of this only gradually changed when Kevin became Alexander's teacher.
The little bean sprouts, the little guy who has always followed him and called him "brother" around him, seemed to be a different person from that time. He is sunny, confident, and his physical fitness is changing at a rapid pace. A year later, the little sprout was as tall as Joffrey. But Joffrey was still very happy at the time, because his brother had finally grown up, shouldn't it be normal for his brother to be happy? He was even very grateful to Kevin for changing his brother!
But further on, Alexander awakens his first attribute ability under Kevin's guidance, and Joffrey discovers that his world has changed. Everyone before looked at him with the utmost respect, because they regarded him as the future heir of the empire. But since Alexander's change, he began to find that there were people who also had that kind of gaze on Alexander. And Ralvin began to look at Alexander, and instead of looking at himself with satisfaction and satisfaction, he would criticize himself inexplicably.
Gradually, Joffrey realizes that something is wrong, and he feels that he is losing, not of something, but of everything, of the whole world......
Therefore, the original pity and love are gradually replaced by hatred and jealousy. Because this Alexander took everything from himself, and there is no one who has no resentment against the one who took everything from him!
And the person who instigated Alexander to do this must be Kevin! So Joffrey has been hating Alexander and hating Kevin for all these years. He wished they could die all the time, but ironically, Joffrey was saved by someone he hated. Although he was happy to have escaped death, he was also humiliated and angry when Kevin saved his life.
So he didn't say any words of thanks to Kevin, just asked in a hateful tone why his savior was here.
"Why are you here? Wandering Holy Lance!" asked Joffrey, gritting his teeth.
"I've heard of a gang of robbers in the neighborhood, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil. Kevin didn't look back, he treated the wounded who were still alive, and said leisurely, "So I came over to clean them up, and after all this I heard the movement here, so I rushed over." ”
"You want me to thank you for saving your life?" asked Joffrey, spitting a mouthful of blood.
"No, I know you hate me, and I don't want to be in front of you if I can, and that's one of the reasons I left Melindell. Kevin reached out and put a poor guy with misplaced bones in place, and then said while releasing the holy light to heal, "But I can't let these wounded people go, in the face of life, other things are not important." ”
"The man who just killed a gang of robbers is here to preach the supremacy of life?" said Joffrey sarcastically.
"I didn't kill them, I just persuaded them. Kevin was not at all angry at Joffrey's sarcasm. After treating all the wounded, he came to Joffrey: "All right, Your Highness Prince, I know you don't want to be treated by me, but for the sake of your future actions, I suggest that you should let me renew your leg first." ”
"No, I'll find another priest!" Joffrey looked unusually stiff at this point, and despite the unbearable pain in his leg, he refused treatment.
"Even a high-ranking priest can only regenerate a small part of the bone, and if it is a leg bone, only a legendary priest can do it. If you don't accept my treatment at this time, you will most likely become lame. Kevin looked at Joffrey's severed leg and said lightly.
He wasn't alarmist, and although the priest had great medical skills, it was still too difficult to renew a severed limb. And although the mage's wishing technique can theoretically do everything, Mel is afraid that he will not be willing to give Joffrey a limb at the cost of lowering his level. Moreover, even if he wanted to, Ralvin would not let the empire pay such a price.
But even so, Joffrey shook his head stubbornly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I become crippled, crippled!
"......" Kevin was silent, he didn't dare to use force, he knew that although this Joffrey was usually greedy for life and afraid of death, he would be cold and perverted, but he would also be mad when he encountered certain things. At this time, he can't guarantee that Joffrey will do anything.
"In that case, then as you wish. Kevin nodded, not dwelling on the topic. He turned his head to look at Kordak, and asked, "So now can you tell me what's going on here?"
"I don't have to tell you!" Joffrey stiffly rejected Kevin's question, then took out two super healing potions from his pocket and poured them up.
Kevin could only shrug helplessly, and then looked for a retinue who was still awake and briefly asked what happened.
"What are you doing in a daze, get me back!" Joffrey licked his wounds like a lone wolf, and then he returned to his old self and roared in arrogance.
Several sober attendants hurriedly came over and supported Joffrey, who looked at the other unconscious people, then pointed to Kordak and said, "Tie this person up and take it back, and the others will be thrown here!"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince. Kevin spoke again at this point.
"What's the matter?!" asked Joffrey, holding back his anger.
"I can't let you take this man. Kevin also set his sights on Kordak.
"Why?!How dare you hinder the Imperial Prince?!" Joffrey immediately burst into a rage.
"I can't let him fall into your hands. Kevin avoided Joffrey's questioning, and he shook his head firmly: "He was the one who hurt you like this, and I can easily guess what kind of treatment he will have if he falls into your hands." So, for the sake of his life, I had to take him away. ”
"He's a fugitive who has broken the laws of the Empire! every crime he's committed is enough to send him to the guillotine!" roared Joffrey, blushing.
"Then we won't let him die until he's been judged. Kevin was unrelenting: "The Light once told me that punishment is never an end, it is only a means to make sinners understand their faults!"
"No, I'm going to take this guy back myself, I'm going to get out of this bad breath!"
"Then I won't let you take him away. Kevin couldn't help but help Kordak up, "I'll bring him back to Melindale and put him on trial in the Imperial Court." ”
"I won't allow you to do this!" Joffrey assumed his identity as a prince, "I order you as a prince, let him go!"
"......" Kevin was silent for a moment, but in order not to let this strong man die meaninglessly, Kevin still shook his head: "I'm sorry, I won't obey." ”
Kevin ignored Joffrey after saying that, he picked up Kordaq and left without looking back.
"......" Joffrey stared at Kevin's back but was helpless, because he couldn't be Kevin's opponent, and no one present could be, so if Kevin made up his mind to do something, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to change it. So, Joffrey could only watch as another thing was taken away by Kevin.
"Hell!!" In the end, Joffrey could only let out such an unwilling roar.
PS: Recently, the company has given more work, and the hometown may have to slow down in the update, so next week it will be updated at noon every day, and it will not be updated at night. I'm sorry for the next week...... Hometown can only say that it depends on the situation, and there will be a notice at that time.
