Renault combined his own situation and immediately understood. He is now a devil, but the percentage of his soul is very small, so his breath can easily be partially overshadowed by humans. Not using his contract magic abilities much should have helped a bit.

"In the fortress of the goddess, there are only loyal believers and paladins who can kill the devil, so there is no possibility that no devil will venture over, and the possibility that the weak devil will not be able to perfectly transform into a human is also ruled out. So you think the biggest possibility is that I have met the devil at one time...... Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with your thinking, but in reality you are ignoring a possibility. ”

"What is possible?" a pair of green eyes sparkled.

"There is a particularly powerful devil who has blended into the human race almost perfectly. Everyone in the entire fortress was deceived, and only a slight breath leaked in front of the elven paladin. Maybe it was accidental, but maybe he deliberately showed a hint of it, so as to arouse the paladin's curiosity, make her want to find out, and then slowly fall into the palm of the devil's hand. ”

"Wow, that's a good ploy, and it's a possibility I didn't expect. I think your ideas could be written into an interesting book!" The paladin smiled happily and held out his hand to Renaud: "Didriet Andomir, you can also call me Didi or Dili." That way you won't need to call me a female elf paladin in the future. ”

"Reynolds Hall, I'm sure I'll become Reynolds Icepeak in the future, Master Kiprin said I'll have a nickname after the ceremony, but I don't know now. You can just call me Renault, no abbreviations. ”

"I've heard your legends, and almost all of them have told me to stay away from you, probably because you're a serious threat to girls. Now it seems that you must have used the power of the devil. Didriet quietly pointed in the direction of the fortress castle gate: "Rem doesn't like you very much, and he keeps talking about it on the way." He should tell you what he really feels like, and then the two of you will duel in a knightly way to solve the problem, not make a mess of you. By the way, what did you do with Princela, whom he was always talking about?"

"I really don't remember exactly. The name Princela sounds familiar, but that's about it. ”

"Then you're such a scumbag. Deedriet pouted, "It's also a crime to forget the past, you know?"

"Be sure to lay the blame on the devil. Renault saw that Di Li rolled his eyes, so he asked curiously, "Does Princela have anything to do with you?"

"Of course I didn't, but she's a distant cousin of Reem's childhood sweetheart, and the two of them still have a marriage contract - that's what Rem said. But I don't know what happened to the engagement now. If you want to know, you can ask Rem!"

If Renault wanted to kill himself, he would definitely go to Rem to ask about it - fortunately, he wasn't stupid.

Looking at the lively and beautiful female elf paladin in front of him, an interesting idea suddenly popped up in Renault's mind: "Di Li, are you free for the next period of time, can you come and help us hunt griffins?"

"I am of the Sacred Heart, not of the Holy Body, why do you have this thought?"

"Because it's good to get rid of griffins. Isn't that right?" Renault pointed his finger in his palm, enumerating the benefits of doing this: "The sooner the griffon dies, the sooner the surroundings will be safer, and the people and the goddess will be happy, and your assistance will make this matter more successful, as long as your martial arts are reasonable, and having you in the team and witnessing our efforts will also prevent Rem from finding fault again." Most of all, though, I find you interesting and should be a good partner and a trusted friend. ”

"Okay!" Dedelet's eyes narrowed into two curved moons, and she smiled and nodded vigorously, "I'll go talk to the bishop, and then I'll leave with you tomorrow morning." ”

She turned and walked away, with a resolute attitude. After five steps, though, she turned around again. "Renault, there's one more thing to work out. You're not a member of the Sacred Heart, and you're not my superior, so according to the rules, I can't serve for free. ”

"And what do you want? I don't have any money, at least I don't think I can get your money. What do you like? Do you like to listen to stories and sing songs?"

"I can accept the story, but there can't be elves in it. Didrite turned away again, leaving behind a clear and pleasant voice: "Tell interesting stories!"

Didrite disappeared into the corridor outside the door, an unexpected help that gave Renault more confidence in the task of hunting griffins. However, how to make good use of this help still needs to be carefully considered. So Renault sat down, trying to expand his thinking, anticipate the situation, and, of course, prepare the payment for Dili: an interesting story she had never heard before.

And it's better to be able to talk about it for a month.

After a while, Tron returned, with a small bag on his shoulder that straddled diagonally to his ribs, presumably containing the potions needed for the mission. "Let's go, let's go to the arsenal. ”

"I just tricked Dedewit into coming with us—Dedewlet is the elven paladin. ”

"What?!" Tron opened his mouth wide, "How did you do that?"

"I kindly invited it, and that's it. "Renault didn't understand what Tron was surprised about. However, considering that Tron had lived an almost completely closed and militarized life in the Ice Peak Fortress since he was a child, it is understandable that he lacked experience dealing with women. "If you don't object to her joining, shouldn't you take me to the arsenal?"

"Of course not. The paladins of the Sacred Heart, although inferior to the Monster Hunters of the Holy Body, are at least qualified warriors. They can do better in other areas. Yes...... What nonsense am I talking about? The arsenal is over here. ”

The current situation is that one more person has more strength, even if it is an extra weapon, armor and weight. That's why Renault wasn't trained to use weapons, but he still had to carry them.

According to the previous plan, Renault decisively chose a light and tough spear as his primary weapon in melee combat, and then brought a short, thick dagger with a wide blade serrated back for daily use. For ranged weapons, he found a crossbow with a handle, which didn't require much strength to reload. There are two boxes of crossbow arrows, a total of twenty. It's just that he and Tron are a bit at odds when it comes to armor.

"I've seen what a griffon's claws look like, even a horse's bones can be pierced directly, and I don't think armor is of any use. Anyway, it's a state of being hit and dying, so I might as well travel lightly, and be more flexible that way. ”
