Finn knew what Arya was surprised about, after all, there was never a prohibition of stealing in the Paladin's commandments.

Finn's faction tendencies are still in the realm of order and goodness, but if he continues to behave against this faction's tendencies, the coordinates of his faction's tendencies will continue to shift in the direction of the other factions.

For example, he led Lilith, Arroyo, Raymond, the mercenaries in his team, and a few refugees to the stables to steal horses, which made his camp tend to be on a virtual coordinate plane that was a short distance away from the most extreme direction, and some distance before crossing the dividing line between and .

While it doesn't matter if this kind of thing affects faction tendencies once or twice on rare occasions, experienced veterans like Finn who know how to calculate and exercise moderation have a sense of proportion...... But if it weren't for the special circumstances, he would be very reluctant to risk the deviation of the camp to die.

After all, the Paladin must be orderly and kind, and is one of the few classes in all classes that is so demanding of the character camp. If one day he accidentally slips away and his faction tends to fall out of the realm of order and goodness, then he will be seen by the game system as a dereliction of duty or even depraved, and he will lose all the skills and expertise given to him by the Paladin class, and he will have to spend another time on a mission to regain this power.

Of course, Ode, the god of order, wrote the law of order for Ferdia when the gods created the world, which made all civilized societies in the world that submitted to order orderly, and all efforts would be rewarded accordingly, and everything ** must pay the corresponding price, thus forming a fair law of equivalent exchange.

Finn risked his faction's tendency to fall out of the realm of order and goodness to steal the horse from the stable, which was the price he paid for his purpose, and his ability to easily defeat pirates who dared to stand in his way was the reward for his payment.

Finn knew that stealing a horse would shift his camp to a certain extent, but it would not kick him out of the realm of order and kindness all at once, so he dared to make such a move that exceeded his professional code after some thought and speculation.

The actions of the young paladin were just an improvisation to deal with the current situation, but in the eyes of Arya, who was a native, it was a respectable act, albeit not legitimate.

The witcher girl had heard that some of the most determined paladins had a higher level of consciousness than their colleagues. Those believe that if an action must be taken to go beyond their code of conduct in order to eliminate catastrophic evil, then the price they pay is worth it as long as that action does not involve innocent people.

This type of person is most represented by a secret group of Templars called the Knights of Shadowlight. Vercidis, the most controversial human hero of the future Demon Tide Wars, the last Shadow Knight of the Quaternary of Ferdia, regarded this form of rebellion as a form of martyrdom, and he famously said in the game that it was widely circulated in later generations: "Just as a paladin can give his life for a righteous cause at any time, if desecrating our purity can protect the world we love and inflict the most painful blow on evil, then it is undoubtedly a sacrifice worth making for us." And the cowards who do nothing with their faith are just a bunch of selfish hypocrites. ”

Of course, Vercidis' rebellion was not recognized by the traditional ideas of the Church, and the future hero almost used his sword to cut off the head of Skeleda on the battlefield, but his glory was buried in the dark side of the Templar like his advanced profession, and these glorious deeds were not revealed until the current Pope Medrus was disgraced in the latter part of the war, and the violet princess Tiphia and the Phaentian Emperor Alexios II joined forces to set off a frenzy of religious reform.

After that, the Demon Tide War in history was about to come to an end, and although the teachings of the Templar were finally put back on track, the overall situation of the war had been laid, and the essence of the human kingdom had long been trampled by the iron hooves of the cultists and the army of the undead, and the victory of the Dark Alliance and the Demon Shepherd Cult was only a matter of time.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, and they have nothing to do with the current state of affairs.

"Arya, what's wrong with your arm?" As he was about to pull the elf girl in front of him up, Finn blinked, and suddenly found that Arya's left hand was limp as if she had lost consciousness, and there was a hideous cut in her arm.

"The left arm was stabbed hard, and it was also shocked by the giant crossbow, and it is estimated that it has been dislocated." Arya explained with a wry smile with one eye half-closed.

When Finn noticed Arya's arm injury, Arroyo and Raymond also walked over with Monroe, who was covered in blood, step by step.

"My lord, the lord of the city is too badly injured." Arroyo moved a little in line with Monroe's footsteps, and at the same time looked up at Finn and reported loudly, "We need to find a place for him to rest." ”

As Arroyo was speaking, the future Sword Saint Raymond suddenly noticed that although Monroe's eyes were still weakly open, the power in the old city lord's body was getting softer and softer, as if he would faint at any time.

In an instant, he realized that Monroe's life was already threatened by his injuries, so he immediately shouted at the young paladin not far away: "Finn, quickly find out if there is any potion on your body, the city lord is almost unable to hold on!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly glared at the thief youth beside him with anxious eyes. Arroyo reacted for a second, and immediately understood, and together with the future Sword Saint youth, let the old man they were supporting lie down on his side on the ground first.

The dark sky was still raining, and the air on the roof of the town hall was very humid, and the wounds on Monroe's body were easily stained by the rain, which could cause further infection.

However, the old city lord's signs of life were getting weaker and weaker, and after Arroyo and Raymond reluctantly put him down, they suddenly no longer dared to touch the scarred old man.

It was as if the poor old city lord had turned into a fragile porcelain that could shatter with a "snap" at the slightest touch.

Arya sat up from the ground, her eyes just happened to see Monroe lying on her side with the help of Arroyo and Raymond, and suddenly she had an ominous premonition.

"Finn, you quickly think of a way, we can't let the city lord die here!" She hurriedly shouted at the young paladin beside her, her heart anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

The young paladin let go of the hand that had just taken the elven girl's hand, and then gave the command to the game system in his mind to bring up the attribute panel.

"Please give me a moment...... he frowned slightly, constantly reminding himself to stay calm, his eyes quickly moving on the data plate that appeared in front of him.

[XP: 1712 (Unassigned)]

[Total Level: Level 6 (Level 1 Civilian / Level 5 Paladin)]

[Class: Level 1 Civilian (0/20), Level 5 Paladin (0/1600)]

"There it is!" He quickly recalled the game information of his previous life, and then his eyes widened, and a feasible solution came to his mind.

Ever since he killed the Black Knight Ko'Vogart in the Melol Mines, his total level has been stuck at level 6.

However, now, after experiencing the Merore Mine Incident and the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment's pursuit of Glens, and after killing many pirates along the way in Blue Harbor, his experience points have unknowingly accumulated 1712 points, which is enough for him to raise his Paladin level from level 5 to level 6.

After that, his total level will reach level 7, earning 1 new pro point and 1 attribute point each.

"Pay 1,600 XP to increase the Paladin level." After a quick and simple thought, Finn mentally gave instructions to the game system to level up.

Soon, after a simple confirmation session with the game system, a small column below his field of vision then appeared one by one with the expected game hints.

[You pay XP to increase your character's level]

[EXP -1600]

[Paladin Level +1, Total Level +1]

As soon as the total level was increased to level 7, Finn continued to add one new stat point to his strength, and paid another one specialty point to point out a new class specialty: Elementary Divine Arts.

[Class Specialty (Paladin) - Beginner Divine Technique: Allows learning and casting 1~2 Ring Divine Arts, and requires additional prayer time to perform 2 Ring Divine Arts]

The reason why he continued to invest new attribute points in strength was because Finn's strength attribute was not low in this life, so he wanted to increase his strength to 30 points as soon as possible, so as to trigger a personal trial quest where he could obtain exclusive specialization.

As for devoting new specialization points to the Divine Specialty?

It's all about contingencies.

Paladins are not like clerics, and usually don't need magic to aid in combat before advancing to a second-order class. In Finn's original plan, he planned to upgrade the Paladin class to a later specialty point and pay for the specialty to point out that specialty.

But the current situation clearly does not allow him to act willfully. In order to save Monroe, he had to make a sacrifice to disrupt his plan a little.

After pointing out this new specialty, Finn took out the book he had been carrying with him from his empty pocket, then palmed the skill book in the palm of his hand and opened its cardboard cover with his other hand.

The Paladin has a level of 5 or more, a perception attribute of 12 or more, and a skill level of no less than beginner - when all three conditions are met, the young paladin turns the book in his hand to the page he wants with the table of contents as quickly as he can.

After that-

[New Skill ...... Detectable

[Note: You can pay 100 XP to learn a skill, do you pay XP to learn this skill?] 】

The game system gave him the same hint.

"Yes."

Fein gave a succinct answer to the game system in his mind, without a hint of hesitation.
