Chapter 32: The Followers

"Huh? Spare me, my lord, it's just my first time! ”

"Lord Knight, I used to be a commoner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Master, we're just here to eat."

When the group of robbers on the ground heard the words of this paladin master, they all began to cry and scream.

"You poor? Perhaps, you may have been pitiful in the past, but have you ever thought about the civilians who were bullied and oppressed by you? ”

Scarface also listened carefully, for this group of villains, robbers, he, the former garrison soldiers, the maintainer of order, is the most hateful, he wants to kill these scum who destroy the peace, he is afraid that Locke will let them go for a while.

"When you wantonly vent the demons in your hearts, and wave the butcher knife in your hand and slash at these innocent civilians, did you ever think that there would be such a day?"

"Do you know how much harm you've done to other innocent families?"

Among the civilians gathered together, someone let out a soft cry.

"You know! But you are addicted to the deformed pleasure of killing and bullying the weak! You live only to satisfy your desires! ”

"You don't know what mercy is! You don't know what it means to be kind to the weak! ”

"If I let you go today."

The robbers, who were lying on the ground, suddenly became happy, and said some flattering words in their mouths.

"Your Excellency!"

Scarface pressed against the hideous face and walked forward, trying to stop Locke.

Locke waved at him, signaling him to be at ease.

There were also voices from the crowd that stopped Locke.

"My lord! Hang them! ”

"My lord! Don't let them go! ”

"Paladin, you can't let go of this group of executioners."

Locke faced the crowd, his hands pressed down.

"Everyone, listen to me, don't worry."

"If I let you go today, can you promise not to do evil, and to farm, hunt, and fish for a living?"

The compliments of the robbers were suddenly extinguished.

"You can't, because you're used to this kind of unearned life, you enjoy the pleasure of bullying the weak, and your presence will bring even greater disasters here!"

"So, before you die, repent and confess to the Light what you have sinned."

"Perhaps, the Light will have mercy on you, but I! Rock Harvey! No! ”

Civilians cheered from the surrounding crowd.

Eventually, the bandits, who had lost their ability to do evil, were hanged by angry civilians from trees on both sides of the road to warn the other bandits.

Above the sky, Ms. Bai arrived as scheduled.

"Thank you, my lord, for taking care of me and my children along the way."

Elsa Rosa bowed to Locke, and behind her, her children followed their mother's example and bowed to Locke.

Gadar has arrived.

"Ms. Rosa, do you really need help with so much luggage and three children?"

Locke asked, looking at Aisha, who was carrying a large bag.

"No, those adventurers in Gadar will need the potion I made, thank you, sir."

Elsa Rosa said goodbye again and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Locke pulled out a cloth bag from his backpack and handed it to the woman.

"There's some money in it, take it, just for the sake of the children."

The woman looked at him in surprise, and Locke handed over the bag in his hand again.

"Take it, all for the sake of the child."

Locke looked at the woman in front of him and handed over the bag in his hand again.

Eventually, the woman stepped forward and took the bag.

She bent down and bowed to Locke very formally.

"May the Light bless you, Your Majesty."

"Goodbye, uncle!"

"Uncle will perform a magic trick for me next time."

"Uncle Stupid is a paladin, didn't you see those people say?"

The children jumped and followed their mom away.

"Your Excellency, it's already time to Gadar."

Scarface Mario stood beside him, watching the woman and child leave his field of vision, and couldn't help but ask.

"What? Are you leaving? ”

Locke withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Scarface.

"No!" Scarface shook his head and said to Locke very formally. "From what I have observed these days, you are a good-hearted person, but you are different from other paladins I have seen, not only do you have noble qualities, you also have a jealous and hateful heart, you are kind to the weak, you are not as high as their lords, they have forgotten the oaths they took when they took the oath. So, I decided to follow you! Be an adult and one of your followers. ”

Locke looked at him in surprise.

"No, no, no! These are just my instincts, I'm not as perfect as you think, I have a lot of dark sides that you don't see, like a thirst for killing. ”

"Do you mean the robbers?" Scarface asked rhetorically. "With all due respect, those people are innocent, they have more power than civilians, but they are bullying those who are weaker than them, if you let them go, I may not be here now."

"Well... Mario, if you insist on it. ”

Locke scratched his head, but his heart was full of joy, Scarface's ability had been proven along the way, and with such a powerful warrior as his follower, his dream of saving the Crusaders was even further.

"Now let's go find a hotel and settle down, and tomorrow I'm going to go to the church in town and see a priest to heal my injuries."

Gadar, a town nestled on a hill, was bustling with people, and although it was getting late, there was still a lot of activity around.

From time to time, you can see some shops that are open in the surrounding area.

Along the main road of the town, the two came to the small square of the town, where a small fountain was working diligently, and some poor people were rehydrating there.

Many poor people snuggled up to each other, lying or sitting against the wall, looking for a job to support their families, and in the square in front of them, from time to time well-dressed people came to recruit people, each time causing a sensation for them, and the people who grabbed the job left with their families in a hurry, while the rest could only return to their relatives in frustration and wait for the next opportunity.

Locke's hand reached for his magic purse, which contained more than 50,000 gold coins, and his compassion was stirring.

Taking a wrong step, Scarface, who walked behind Locke, reminded Locke in time.

"Have you forgotten what happened this afternoon, my lord? What's more, with your own strength, can you do it? ”

Locke smiled wryly and let go of the hand that was touching the purse, and he turned to ignore the eyes of the men behind him.

I silently said in my heart, I'm sorry...

Passing through the crowd in the small square, a large three-story wooden building appeared in front of them, with a sign in front of the door that read "Forget the Sorrow Hotel"

The two of them opened the curtain at the door and walked in, and suddenly there was a bustle.

The air in the inn wafted with the smell of ale and the smell of human body sweat.

The first floor of the entire inn was wide and narrow, with more than a dozen tables and chairs crooked in the hall, and a fire burning in the closet in the distance, warming the entire hall.

At this time, the hall was full of people, and the glasses were mingling, and they drank inferior ale, while shouting rudely and loudly, laughing wildly from time to time, and occasionally they would reach out and pinch the buttocks of the waitress who passed by, causing the waitress to laugh and scold.

Locke walked in, looked around, and found a spot around the corner where no one was around.

As soon as the two of them sat down, a hostess came over.

"Would you two have something to eat? Or something to drink? Here are some of the best chefs in the Tirisfal woodlands by now, as well as the best wines, and if you need special service, you can come to me. ”

The hostess, who was okay, touched Locke's shoulder with her plump breasts, and took the opportunity to wink at Locke.

"Mario, what do you order?" Locke asked, looking at Scarface.

"Whatever." Scarface sat quietly across from him, his face reverting to his usual indifference.

"So, two spring spirits and two barbecue pork legs, thank you."

Locke reported the name of the dish while hiding the warm hostess in the back.

"Okay, two cups of spring spirits, two barbecue wild boar legs, and a total of 1 silver coin and 85 copper coins"

Locke pulled out a gold coin and put it in the hostess's hand.

"I'll leave the rest to you, and I'll tip it."

"Wow!! Oh, my God!! A super generous traveler! May the Light always protect you! My name is Demitina, Demitina Quinn, and I'll be free all day tomorrow~"

The hostess, Demitina Quinn, bit the gold coin in her hand and walked to the bar, not forgetting to turn around and wink at Locke.

The Holy Light is above, and he has never been treated like this by a woman in two lives!

He turned his head and saw Scarface's smiling face, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment.

"Huh... Hehe.. The people here are really welcoming... Huh..."
