Chapter 3 The Path of the Professional

"But why are the other people downstairs eating fine, and what are they doing here?" The dwarf Kogan saw Acoster's vigilant look, and he also wanted to lower his voice and say, but the dwarf was naturally confident, no matter how much he lowered that decibel, it was the same as a normal person talking loudly.

Acoste glanced at the warrior monk, now that Lavis and Doris are gone, Li Qing has the strongest anti-reconnaissance ability in the entire team, the warrior monk is born with listening and probing skills, he was attached to the floor and lay on the ground for a while, and shook his head at Acoste randomly, which made Acoste breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the abrupt departure of the people who put something in front of them without eating is a bit eye-catching, it would not be good if they were targeted by the lady's priest, fortunately, the lobby of the farmer's house hotel has a lot of traffic, The other party didn't care about his few little adventurers.

"I don't know why they didn't react immediately, but Talona's priesthood is highly toxic and diseased, and her toxins don't always work immediately, and the other party is fully capable of letting the virus lurk in the other person's body, and then explode immediately when she needs it." Acoste said with a serious face. "I don't know what the hell they're up to, but I can't mistake the purple triangle on the cuff of their coat with three amber teardrops on it, which is the emblem of Talona."

The group fell silent, the Lady of Disease and Poison is the mortal enemy of all living beings, and the chaotic and evil camp makes it impossible for Talona to use her priesthood to save the disease and remove the poison, but instead use it as a weapon to kill others to gain the awe and fear of the living. Almost every appearance of this goddess priest is accompanied by misfortune and suffering.

"So what do we do? Don't you just watch it? Ling is a little unbearable, as a chaotic and kind camp of the Oriental Maiji, in addition to treating the enemy, she maintains a kind and upright concept, maybe she doesn't have so much sympathy for professionals, but when the object is replaced by those defenseless and innocent civilians, she will always do her best to help the other party.

"By the way, we can go to the temple, isn't there an agricultural temple in the middle of the city of Psur? They are mortal enemies of Talona, and they will definitely not let it go. Ling suddenly remembered something, she ran to Acoste and said hurriedly, but Acoste didn't have any expression of sudden realization, but laughed softly.

"Hehe, are you sure you want to do this?" Acoste looked at Ling Jixi's expression coldly, and his eyes did not shy away from showing an idiot look, "This is the barn capital of Am, and nearly half of Am's grain has been stored here for a year, do you know what this means?" This means that the sudden appearance of Talona's followers here would have meant danger and unusualness. ”

"It's early winter now, if the food stored here in Amm is successfully contaminated, then the kingdom of Amm will inevitably fall into turmoil and riots, think about it with your head to know that this is no longer a fight between two churches, there must be other kingdoms or evil organizations to help."

"Even if you want us to get involved, think about why you and Li Qing came to Am, although you haven't told me in detail, but I believe that it is definitely not a trivial matter. Are you sure you want to get into this kind of big trouble? ”

After listening to Acoste's questioning, Ling's originally colorful eyes dimmed, Acoste was right, what was involved in this is definitely not a small problem, the believers of the Lady of Poison and Disease have always been low-key, but there are no less bad deeds, they are always committed to poisoning food, water sources, or polluting the surrounding environment to please the gods they believe in, everything that makes good things wither and wither is what Talona wants to see, if they get involved, A bad one can face death. And most importantly, for Acoste, he has no motive or reason to do this, which is neither a responsibility that he must bear, nor is there enough remuneration, let alone a commission entrusted to them by someone. In Acoste's eyes, doing such a thankless task is only done by those dead-brained paladins.

The room fell into a dead silence again, this is the difference between the camps, each camp has its own style of philosophy of things, good people are a group of idealists, they have pity, will fight for many things that have nothing to do with themselves, the pursuit is only the idea in their hearts, neutral people are mostly indifferent, they can not say good, not evil, they can completely let themselves fall to either side because of interests, evil people generally have evil thoughts about the good things in the world, Some of them are pure destruction, while others are violent and bloody in their pursuit of power and power. Ling knew that what Acoste said was right, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart no matter what, even if it didn't seem to have any real benefits and the risks were huge.

"I'm going to expose them, even if it's a matter of risking my life, I'm sorry, I can't sit back and watch so many innocent lives die under a conspiracy, even if it's just possible." Ling was silent for a moment, and she suddenly raised her head firmly to look at Acoste, even in the face of the other party's mocking look. She didn't mention that she was doing it alone, but that she included everyone alone, which was not a sign of Rei's fear, on the contrary, it was a sign that Reiya regarded the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team as an inseparable collective, a "home" that would never be separated.

"Okay, I like a refreshing person like you, since the decision is still so mother-in-law, why do you want to do it, my hammer has long been hungry and thirsty. You have to know that if you don't fight for a few days, the dwarves' bones will itch and rust all over your body! Kogan was the first to stand up for Rei, and Acoste knew that the orderly and evil dwarves didn't have Rei's bodhisattva heart, and as a berserker, he was just looking for a fight.

The warrior monk didn't speak, he silently stood behind Ling, Li Qing has always been a person who replaces words with practical actions, and he is also the most reliable and trustworthy teammate in the team at critical moments.

Seeing that she had the support of most of her teammates, Ling couldn't help but show a tsundere look in her eyes, and she looked at Yacoste like a victorious general. Yacoste shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and had to raise his hands as if admitting defeat, he had long expected that the final result of the matter would be like this, the previous words were just that he deliberately stimulated Ling to help her be more clear about her inner path, everyone has their own principles for dealing with things, on the complex road of professional growth, most of them will abandon their principles because of difficulties and dangers, or lower the lower limit of their principles, but Yacoste knows that this is absolutely unacceptable, He knew a truth, that is, a person who could not stick to his own principles and could not find his own path would never be strong, whether he was good or evil, a mage or a warrior.

"What a bunch of fools, but since you've made your choice, let's go to the Temple of the Earth Goddess as soon as possible, we don't know how long those damned Talona cultists have been in Psur and how long they've been planning it." Acoste was the first to walk out of the hotel room, he himself was a principled man, and his philosophy was very simple, except for following the rules, that is, to do everything he was determined to do.
