Chapter 7: Rumors of the Holy Avengers
The maiden with a wound in the abdomen wears another paladin emblem bracelet wrapped around her left wrist, proving that she, like Finn, is a priesthood of the Church.
Fein expressed his surprise in front of the girl, but then thought that the other party's limited number of holy healings per day might have been used up, so he planned to use his current holy healing times to treat the injury of the colleague in front of him.
However, as soon as he raised his hand a little, the girl who was sitting on the floor of the hall with her back to the wall immediately replied to him in a disdainful tone, "I am focused on the skills of swordsmanship, and I have no time to study those flashy skills!" ”
The young paladin felt himself almost squirt a mouthful of water.
He originally guessed in his heart that the other party's holy healing times might have been used, but now it seems that this colleague of his is probably really unable to deal with his injuries because of his skills.
Her attitude towards the Holy Healing Skills is all "flashy", so the "colorful" magic skills are estimated to be even less important.
"Uh...... So, your injuries look a bit serious, who made you like this? After the paladin girl shouted at this point, Finn felt that the atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward, so he thought about it and temporarily provoked another topic.
"It's... It's none of your business. The girl's eyes dodged to the side for a moment, and then she turned back to her face and said, "The scar means that I have fought, and when it heals and leaves a scar, it is the glory I exchanged for courage!" ”
As the words fell, she looked directly into Finn's eyes without any sense of shame, as if she had just said some great famous aphorism.
Fein stared at her in a daze, and didn't say anything for a moment.
After a long silence, the young paladin covered his face with his hands with a defeated expression.
He thought that Raymond, who had not met him in his previous life, was enough for the second second.
However, this ...... Looks like it's even more amusing than the Blood Sword Saint who is active in another line of fate? He thought to himself.
Scars represent the glory of courage......
Shaking his head slightly with a helpless expression, the young paladin felt that his colleagues in front of him and the orcs in the wasteland probably had a common language.
Of course, he didn't despise the other party for such a trivial matter, so he curled down the index and ring fingers of his left hand, twisted the paladin badge wrapped around his wrist and grabbed it into his palm, and then stretched out his left hand to perform a holy healing on the girl's injured abdomen.
Warm light poured out from the surface of the badge and covered the wounded person's wounds as he had used this skill before, using supernatural power to quickly heal the wounds of the paladin girl, reducing swelling, stopping bleeding, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally growing new skin to cover the flesh underneath.
The baby-faced priesthood girl grew her mouth in amazement, and when Finn withdrew the emblem bracelet in her hand, she buried her head and carefully touched her abdomen, and found that except for the chain mail she was wearing, there was a hole in it, and the rest of her body was restored to its original state.
"Are you feeling better?" Finn asked, looking at her face with her head down.
"Uh...... Ah, it feels so much better. The paladin girl with medium and long hair froze for a moment, then hurriedly raised her head and thanked her, "Thank you, friend, thank you very much for your generous assistance to me, you-"
As she spoke, she suddenly reacted to something, and then looked at Finn with a look of surprise and said, "Ah, it turns out that you are also a holy warrior!" It's so good that our meeting must have been fate, and the God of Justice really won't send me here to suffer in vain! ”
"Hmph." When Sheen heard the word God, he immediately tilted his face in disdain and snorted coldly, picked up the small box at his feet, stood up and slipped into the crowd without looking back, walked to the staircase on the first floor of the hall, and then followed the steps of the stairs to the second floor of the association with depressed footsteps, as if he, like Arya, when he was in Aurora, also tentatively set his temporary residence during his wanderings in the Adventurers' Association.
Finn watched the wandering young doctor leave his sight, and although he had a trace of sympathy and regret for the other party, he also understood that the path that the young man named Sheen had chosen for himself was indeed long and bumpy, and that many psychological difficulties needed to be overcome by himself.
These full-time personnel living in the feudal world of sword and magic, such as future field doctors, magicians, and reform scholars, all of their later achievements in their respective fields were explored by their true talents and learning on the long road in the darkness while drinking chicken soup for the soul that was more bitter than all meals.
In the game world of Finn's previous life, for example, this kind of basic advanced class that requires a lot of money and experience investment in the early stages of the game, but the short-term returns are disastrous, there are simply not many players who dare to seriously choose and practice all the time. Finn has always had a deep respect for the pioneers of the new realm who dare to go off the beaten path on a zero basis, whether they are players or NPCs.
The young paladin agreed with the ideals of the young doctor Sheen in his heart, but he was indeed a layman in terms of medical skills, and he could not help Sheen for the time being.
However, compared to the difficulties encountered by Sheen, Finn was more focused on the colleagues in front of him at this time.
The girl's words aroused his curiosity, and the young paladin then looked back into the former's eyes and asked, "Just now you said that the God of Justice really wouldn't send you here to suffer in vain?" Gaztex is on top, can you tell me what you're here for? ”
"You don't know that rumor yet?" The paladin girl blinked.
"What rumors?" The young man asked.
"Holy Avenger!" The little girl thought he was prepared, and suddenly subconsciously raised her voice to express her surprise.
The noun in the girl's mouth matched what the head of the guild had told Lilith.
The young paladin was calm on the surface, but he was really taken aback in his heart.
As a legendary paladin of the past and present, he not only knew what a holy avenger was, but he had one before.
In the official description, the Holy Avenger (HolyAvenger) can be roughly understood as a special item that can only radiate true power when in the hands of the Holy Warriors, and is the ultimate weapon of the Holy Avengers against the forces of evil.
For example, the famous one, the simple sword, which looked even more ordinary than the standard weapons of the military, once said: "Justice is inferior and pale in comparison with the power of the vanity, and yet I expect Gaztex to perform miracles with lightning or fire on this sword." I should have remembered how this sword came into my hands...... It's just because of simple fraternity and humility. Justice applies to everyone, rich or poor, high or low, high or low in knowledge. Whether in the farmer's field or on the battlefield, justice is everywhere. ”
The legendary artifact is passed down in the psalms that the poets have done their best to praise and promote, and the other holy avengers certainly have their own unique legends in their own eras, but they all share the same trait: when pulled out and wielded by a true paladin, all the evils of the world will tremble before them, and even the demon lords of the bottomless abyss will inevitably fall into hesitant deliberation and trembling.
It's no wonder that such an unconfirmed piece of news has attracted so many adventurers to gather here.
Finn could hear the excitement and anticipation in the girl's tone, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to himself, so he looked around, then pulled his colleague from the floor and walked aside, then turned back and put his index finger in front of his mouth to remind him, "Shh...... We can be quiet. ”
"Oooh......"
"Alright, let's move on."
"Hmm." The holy warrior girl understood, then nodded, deliberately lowered her voice and continued to speak, "There is news in the adventurer circle that Perometheus's predecessor seems to have appeared in the depths of the dagger forest. ”
"Moonlight Greatsword?" Finn's eyes widened.
"Yes, it's the sword of the Moon Sword Saint, it's obviously lost, but some people say that they saw it in the forest." The girl clenched the ten fingers on her hands excitedly, and raised the two clenched fists to her small breasts, which she didn't expect, "Gaztes, as righteous priests, I think we have to take this sword back and hand it over to Pope Medrus, this is the obligation given to us by the Church, we ...... Ah yes, my name is Leah, what about you? ”
"Finn." The young paladin replied casually, but regretted it a little as soon as the words fell.
He had a recent feud with the Marshallese Priest, who represented the high echelons of the Church, in Hurenger, and he should have made up a temporary identity for himself, and if the thoughtful Arya was by his side, he would definitely remind him of this small detail.
The expression of the young paladin briefly stiffened in the blink of an eye, and his excellent psychological quality made him not overwhelmed all of a sudden, and he only hoped that the girl with a baby face in front of him was really as innocent as a child, and that he would not notice the little flaw he had accidentally exposed just now, and that he would not happen to know the "bold words" he said in front of the Marshallese priest.
As if it had backfired, the girl with chestnut red medium-long hair had a thin slit in her eyes, as if she had really captured the unnatural changes on Finn's face that had passed by in that short moment just now.
The girl's brows suddenly fell a little unhappily, and the heart of the young paladin began to go crazy, and he just wanted to complain about why his face was so dark, but suddenly he heard a serious voice from the other party's throat, as if he would ask himself by mistake: "Do you treat me as a girl?" ”
"Huh?" The young man's face was confused, "Isn't Liya a girl's name?" ”
His mind was a little stuck, and he hurriedly changed his eyes to look seriously at the colleague standing in front of him, and it didn't take long for him to purposefully find a slightly prominent knot on the latter's throat.
Our protagonist finally realizes that something is wrong.
In the next second, the "girl" named Leah really blushed, and with extreme dissatisfaction, she mustered up her strength and roared at him: "I'm a man!" ”
