Locke looked at him calmly, and there was a lot on his mind for a while. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe it's because of his personality that he became a Death Knight.

"Tell me! It's about my faith! Dalyan said solemnly.

Locke gradually put away the disapproval on his face and became silent. Once faith collapses, you will no longer believe in the Light, and if you stop believing in the Light, the Light will also abandon you. If you can't use the Holy Light energy, how can you be a paladin like that?

If this kid's faith really collapsed, would the big lord have skinned himself alive?

Locke sighed, why didn't he see that Dalyan was such a stubborn temper?

"Yes, you're right." Locke nodded, and he saw Dalyan's expression soothe.

"But mercy is also under certain conditions." Locke looked at Dalyan calmly, "Obviously, your understanding of mercy is still a bit one-sided, or you only think about your problems from your point of view, and do not think about your problems from the perspective of the whole picture. ”

"Yes, we paladins are to show mercy to the weak. But this mercy does not lead us to a dangerous place. Locke pointed to the woodland, to the sun that was about to set. Where is this? The Plaguelands! The notoriety of this land is known to the whole world. How difficult is it to find a missing person in this woodland? Have you thought about it? ”

"Yes! I am the commander of the Crusaders, and I can assign soldiers to enter this woodland in search of civilians. But I can't let my soldiers do such dangerous things, because there are more important things for the soldiers to do! Don't forget what our military purpose is this time? Compared to our goal, to let soldiers into this dangerous woodland, just to save a civilian? Was the sacrifice worth it? ”

"Again, I asked our soldiers on guard before. The civilian had been in the woodland for more than an hour. Do you know what that means? Locke asked Dalyan, who was gradually calming down, "What does that mean?" Think about the situation in a woodland. ”

"Meaning.... That civilian may have lost his life. Dalyan whispered.

"Yes, there is a good chance that that the civilian has lost his own life. In this known situation, are we going to risk our own lives and the lives of our soldiers to save a civilian? It's not worth it! Locke shook his head and said to him in an educational manner, "I am the Paladin of the Silver Hand and the commander of the Crusaders. You are the hope of the Silver Hand and the Crusaders of the future, and we all have our own responsibilities and missions. Instead of looking for missing persons and losing their lives! ”

"We have more important things for us to do! And recovering Lordaeron and seeking revenge on Arthas is the most important thing we need now. Those are nothing compared to these things, you know? ”

"As for mercy," Locke smiled, ruffling Darien's short yellow hair, "I have already instructed the guards to look for the civilian while they are looking for the scavenging insects. ”

Dalyan's face was visibly happy.

Locke looked at him with a smile, "That's also pity. The reason I didn't say yes was because I wasn't sure if I would be able to find their companions. Remember, if you can't do something as a paladin, don't say yes easily! ”

Dalyan smiled and nodded, apparently the knot in the kid's heart had opened.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief, I hope I will educate your son like this, and you don't blame the Great Lord. It's more practical for me to educate in this way, and I won't teach a rigid and old-fashioned person.

In this environment of the Plaguelands, scavengers are everywhere. They are constantly wriggling in the fields and woodlands, looking for food for their survival.

After a short time, the guards came to report that they had found traces of scavenging insects.

Led by the guards, the group chased after the scavenging insects.

When Locke saw the scavenging insects, he confirmed his thoughts, the human was almost dead, and even if he wasn't dead, he was about to die.

Why?

Locke saw a pair of human legs through the scavenging insect's cross-opened mouthparts.

The maggot with a thick, transparent chitin crust on its back was wriggling its body and swallowing the human in its mouth into its stomach.

"Oh! The Holy Light is above! It really eats people! I thought they lied to me! Dalyan covered his mouth with an ugly expression. It's obvious that what you see with your own eyes is very shocking, and when you think about the people who used to eat this meat, it was a last resort. If they could, who would choose to eat the meat of this thing?

"Go kill it! Let's see if we can get the person out of his mouth! Locke commanded the guards, who surrounded them with shields and weapons.

This big guy is nearly 3 meters long and about 1.4 meters in diameter, and it is swallowing the person in its mouth with peace of mind, ignoring the soldiers who come up around it.

"How did this guy do that? These scavengers don't attack humans at all. Dalyan looked at this scene with some inexplicability, and he said a little depressed.

"Seeing this scene, would you still choose to eat this kind of thing?" Locke asked him with a smile.

"......" replied to Locke by Dalyan's silence.

Scavengers rely on chitin on their epidermis to defend against damage, and they have no other means of attack, and if swallowing is counted, it is barely a means of attack.

As long as they can puncture their transparent chitin skin, then soon the maggot will die immediately due to dehydration, and when the time comes, as long as the outside chitin skin is cut off, the delicate tender meat inside is cleaned with clean water, and it is really delicious when it is done. At least Locke has several ways to make it into a delicious meal right now.

Just as the soldiers were about to stab the maggot to death, the maggot suddenly wriggled irregularly, and it seemed to want to spit out what it had swallowed in its stomach.

Locke stopped the soldiers, who knows if there was any other moth in this thing.

The big yellow maggot on the ground began to roll violently, and there seemed to be something wrong with its body. From its cross-lined mouthparts, a green, viscous liquid flowed outward. The powdered yellow dirt is affected by the slime and sticks to the maggot's body, making it look like a yellow.

Just when they were surprised, the scavenger finally stopped struggling, and it lay motionless on the ground.

At this moment, the legs in the maggot's mouthparts began to move.

"Look! He's alive! His legs are moving! Dalyan exclaimed.

Without waiting for orders, the guards hurried to the maggot's mouthparts and pulled out the moving thighs.

"Poof!" As if something was pulled out, the maggot's mouthparts made a lifetime of soft noises, and humans were pulled out.

A large pool of green viscous liquid followed, and the human man sat on the viscous liquid in a bit of a daze, and he was covered in green liquid.

"Hey, are you alright?" The guard asked him cautiously. At the same time, there is some sympathy for his plight, and it must be very uncomfortable to be swallowed by this thing.

The man on the ground shook his head, and he didn't finish it for a while. Locke saw a small dagger in his hand.

"Go get some water from the Sodoril River, we're upstream now, and the water isn't a big problem." Locke instructed the guards that the man needed to clean up.

It took a few minutes for the man to recover.

"Hey, thank you, honorable lord! If it weren't for you, I might have choked in the stomach of that thing! The man staggered and tried to get up from the ground, but without success.

He held out his hand to the guards around him, motioning to help him.

The guards looked at him in disgust at the green viscous liquid all over his body, and found a wooden stick to pull him up.

"I'm sorry for the trouble!" The man bowed first and saluted Locke, then he pointed to the maggots on the ground and said, "If you don't mind, the honorable lord can take half of this thing, this is the target of my hunt." ”

"Your hunting target?!" Locke couldn't laugh or cry, it was obviously us who rescued you, and you actually said that it was your hunting target?

"Isn't that right? Apparently we rescued you! How did it become your prey?! "Dalyan is not happy, he came out to find this thing, although it doesn't matter if he wants it or not, but he can't be snatched by others.

"Yes, this is my prey!" The man was not afraid of Locke and Dalyan's identities in the slightest, and he shook his body out of the green slime, "Honorable lord, please allow me to introduce myself. ”

"My name is Felton, I'm from the Valley of the Hearth, and I'm a trader." The man bowed down and said, "I used to be an adventurer, and it would have been a no-brainer to kill it. But I only have a small dagger in my hand. ”

"When we came in, we met a group of merchants outside, and they seemed to be looking for you." Locke frowned and said, "Worry your teammates, this kind of behavior is very undeserved." ”

"I know," Filton sighed helplessly, "but there is no way, they are poor, and the poor have not even eaten meat for a long time." To make them look healthier, I decided to find them something to eat. Since I used to be an adventurer, I knew it was edible, and the meat was good. ”

"So I came out with it," said Felton, tossing the dagger in his hand, "and this thing can only be engraved on its back, and it cannot hurt it at all." Because of my past experiences, I learned one trick from a dwarven adventurer, and that is to attack from within. ”

"Intraphysical offense?" Dalyan looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, use your own body as bait to burrow into its body, destroy its organs in its body. It would die right away, and I thought I could handle it. The man spread his hands helplessly, and he walked over to the maggot on the ground and knocked on its shell, "for which I smeared myself with rancid potions, and attracted its attention, so that it swallowed me in the stomach." Because of the mucus, I was glued to its mouthparts. And it was so fat that I almost got squashed inside it. It's good that you even arrived. ”

"Once again, thank you for your help to me."

The man thanked the stunned crowd again.
