The doppelganger said and put a hand on the top of Cardigan's chest, and the divine purification power rich in positive energy purified Cardigan's whole body like flowing water, although there was no [healing] in his priesthood, but positive energy had a stimulating effect on the lives of all non-evil camps, as long as there was no drag from the dark wounds and curses, Cardigan could slowly recover by relying on his own quality, after all, he was a high-level professional, and a kingdom did not have much high-level combat power.

It's a pity that all non-legal professionals can't defy the sky like the law system, and before the power of the awakening bloodline or spiritual power mutates, the limit can only be the limit of mortals, unlike the law system with infinite possibilities, but relatively, the scarcity of the law system is very unimaginable, and some city-states or countries will not even have a mage for hundreds of years.

"However, no matter how rare the profession is, there is also a difference between strength and weakness, and the magic apprentice who can only do tricks is just to entertain the big nobles, like the intermediate mage in the cultist, although it is not easy, but once he is attacked, he will die."

Waiting for Cardigan to regain mobility was a bit boring, and when he was idle, Shepard casually gave his Corgi François some uncommon knowledge about looking at him with a complicated expression.

"So, are you a priest?"

Corgi looked at Shepard with an innocent face, but it was already tiresome for a fourteen-year-old boy to make such an expression, and the almost undisguised curiosity in his eyes made Shepard no longer in the mood to tease him.

"No, I just received the grace of my Lord."

Shepard's face was straight, like that of an ascetic who had traveled abroad in order to get closer to his faith.

Corgi's expression became a little exciting, and he also guessed in his heart which god the person in front of him believed in, the Lord of the Dawn?

It's no wonder that these people are wrong, after all, among the gods of the Old World, in addition to the sun god Amanata who disappeared after the destruction of the ancient magic empire, for thousands of years, there is only one Lord of the Dawn Lansendell who still retains the priesthood of [Dawn], and no other god has shown the power related to the sun, and many people can't help but speculate whether Amenata also fell after the destruction of the magic empire that set foot in countless spaces.

And he is the only strange person in the New World who has extracted the three priesthoods of the sun, moon and light in one fell swoop, and has become the only weak-level divine power, so although the expeditionary force has begun to have some information about the Dawn Kingdom and the Church of Light, most of them cannot be confirmed, and even if they are transmitted back to the Old World, there is not much reference value.

"Cardigan's injuries are almost over and he can move." Although he saw Corgi's doubts, Shepard didn't intend to explain it to him, but naturally turned the topic to the guards who stood up.

"Uncle Cardigan! Can you really go? Corgi Francois's attention was distracted, and he threw himself at the guard, looking at Cardigan's still somewhat pale face with concern.

The loyal guard looked at Corgi and shook his head: "I have nothing to do, let's go, go to the royal capital, we went around such a big circle, but I didn't expect to be followed by those miscellaneous pieces, now it is not far from the royal capital, it is better to rush to the royal capital as soon as possible, and when you get there, you will be safe!" ”

Corgi nodded, but looked at Shepard with a look of hope, "Uh...... Mr! Sorry, I don't know your name yet, are you going to the royal capital with us? ”

"Shepard, you can call me that," he shrugged, "I'm actually an adventurer looking for an opportunity, and if you're willing to hire me, I can consider whether or not to take it based on what you're paid." ”

Hearing that the other party was just an adventurer, the aristocratic pride in Corgi's bones suddenly came out again, and he said with a little reserve: "Oh, it turns out that Shepard is an adventurer?" As a descendant of the ancient François family of the Kingdom of Am, I can present you with the look of being knighted to the Queen after you escort us to the royal capital. ”

There was a faint pride and charity in his tone, and the original life-saving feelings had turned into an insignificant dedication of the inferior in what he thought was a status gap.

However, instead of being as shocked or agitated as he imagined, Shepard replied with a blank face: "I have not the slightest interest in the guarantee of the broken nobles. ”

"You...... How dare you?! Corgi François's face changed, not because of the other party's attitude, but because the words 'broken noble' stung him deeply.

"Shepard, while we are grateful that you saved us, please do not insult the reputation of an ancient nobleman!" Cardigan was on the sidelines.

Shepard glanced at him and said coldly, "The Earl family that is less than two hundred years old can also be called ancient?" If you think I've insulted you, you can go to the royal capital yourself, it's not far from Esmirtaran, but if you leave, it will take you two days to go. ”

Corgi was furious, but he knew that what the adventurer said was the truth, and that the two of them were a complete drag on Cardigan as he was now, and if they encountered any danger, both of them could hit the streets, and the wilderness of the Old World was never short of danger.

So he had no choice but to look at Shepard with a smile: "So, adventurer, what kind of reward do you want us to give?" ”

He hated me in his heart, and his title became that of an adventurer. Shepard's heart shone, and he said casually: "I have no interest in your empty promises, I want practical things." ”

Corgi's face was ugly: "However, since we fled, we didn't bring anything valuable, and several life-saving enchantment items on my body were also used up halfway......"

Shepard sighed, but didn't say anything with a blank face.

Seeing his expression like this, Corgi hated his greed even more, and after a long time, as if he suddenly remembered something, he bent down and lifted his trouser legs, took off a pair of leggings from his legs, and reluctantly handed them to Shepard: "This is the last enchanted item left on my body......"

‘…… Is there really one? The accumulation of these nobles is sometimes not to be underestimated. ’

Shepard didn't expect that Corgi really had something on him, so he subconsciously took it and took a look.

[The whisper of the tree (excellent leggings), the talent of the Yaling clan in magic and natural magic is very amazing, this cloth leggings woven and enchanted by Yaling himself, has the effect of slowing down leg fatigue and increasing energy recovery]

'Not bad stuff. ’

Shepard smiled when he saw it, put it away, and said briskly: "Okay! For the sake of the reward, I will give you a ride, but this is only a deposit, and when you get to the royal capital, don't forget what you promised! ”

"Absolutely not, please trust the credibility of a nobleman!" Corgi had a smile on his face, and a little gloom appeared on his somewhat immature face, but when he saw Shepard turn around, he consciously touched the things in his arms, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Outside the city of Esmirtaran.

The three people who underestimated the itinerary arrived in this bustling city after three days, although Shepard has not changed much, but the image of Cardigan and Corgi is a little embarrassed, Cardigan is a high-level warrior after all, although he recovered from serious injuries, his spirit is still good, and Corgi is a little miserable, originally on the way to escape with his subordinates to take care of it is okay, but now there is only Cardigan left around, and there is not much aristocratic temperament, just like a refugee fleeing the famine or an adventurer who has been displaced from the countryside.

"Okay, then you can go into the city by yourself, and I won't go in."

Shepard, who was followed by the steel-feathered griffin, glanced at the royal capital, which was not far away, and turned to the two of them.

Corgi, who was looking at the griffin enviously, was stunned when he heard this, if Shepard didn't go in, wouldn't many of his plans be in vain, so he hurriedly asked, "Shepard, don't you go in?!" Don't you want me to keep my promise? ”

"Hahaha, just a lord, I'm not very interested, it's just a good deed every day."

Shepard didn't lie, he really didn't plan to go to the royal city, just by the way, and with these two people taking care of the griffin along the way, he could also liberate himself, at least catch a lot of prey on the way and feed it to the steel-feathered griffin, this high-level magical beast that can eat meat since childhood, is never small in terms of expenses.

"So, where are you going next?"

Corgi asked subconsciously.

Shepard touched the griffin's head and said casually: "I will probably go to the [Broken Tooth Mountains], this little guy has a lot of food every day, and I am afraid that it will make me bankrupt if I raise it myself, there are many beasts in the [Broken Tooth Mountains], it is a good place to hunt." ”

“…… It is said that there is more than one dragon there, so you have to be careful. "Cardigan doesn't have a bad impression of him, adventurers are greedy, but at least he saved his master and servant without retribution.

Shepard nodded and didn't speak, waved his hand and turned to leave with the griffon.

……

Broken Tooth Mountains.

The wolf roars and the roar of the ape is just an ordinary sound here, and more than one person has seen the figure of a giant dragon here, and in the previous game, this is also the first choice for several nearby kingdoms such as Amm and Tether, and the first choice for large adventurer teams to slay dragons.

"Dragon...... Hey, if you're an adult, we master and servant can join forces and kill one for meat! ”

Looking up at the rolling mountains and the dense primeval forests, there are countless murderous intentions and malice.

"Huh?"

The steel-feathered griffin, which was biting a huge wild boar, looked up at its master, and Shepard smiled when he saw this: "Eat it in peace, I'm just talking about it casually." ”

Although the sharp teeth in the eagle's beak are still young, they have been able to tear apart the thick fur of the prey, and the sharp and hard eagle beak pecked a few times, and then cut off the fat thighs of the prey, and held it in front of the owner, and enjoyed the rest of it with peace of mind.
