Chapter 113: Two Paladins (Part II)
"Hoo ......"
In the depths of the Corridor of Glory, Charles dismantled his flying spell, a pair of large golden wings tucked into his back, and the pure gold armor on his body returned to its ordinary appearance.
Thump.
No sooner had the Dragonborn Paladin jumped off his mount than the large lizard suddenly went limp and fell to the ground, grunting violently.
"Thank you, friend, I'm Balasa."
The stout paladin, who was nearly two meters tall and weighed at least 300 pounds, bowed to the priest in thanks, his expression and tone of voice were sincere.
It's a Dragonborn. A proud, glorious warrior who has inherited the bloodline of the ancient dragon gods.
Charles's gaze swept over his bronze-colored, finely scaled skin, and the Dragonborn had +2 Strength/+2 Constitution, +2 Charisma Race Attribute Adjustment, and after reaching a certain level, they would automatically comprehend unique skills such as [Dragon's Breath] and [Dragon's Blood's Fury].
But a strong bloodline isn't necessarily popular with players. The excessively high level adjustment value, as well as the appearance of relatively ugly characters, and most importantly, every Dragonborn player, after being born, must be forced to accept a golden legendary-level group mission - [Recovering the Glory of the Akhorsia Empire].
Long ago, the Akhorsia Empire fell. It was a great nation founded by the heroes of the Dragonborn. Few players can accept this kind of forced mission, and when "Dawn" was opened, the Dragonborn was hot for a few days, but after some players disclosed the mission on the forum and deleted the number and rehearsed, the Dragonborn became one of the most unpopular races.
Meanwhile, Tieflin, who has a feud with the Dragonborn. I also enjoyed the cold reception. Because Tiefling has a similar mission.
It can be said that every Dragonborn is an angel with folded wings. Well, such a powerful bloodline, but it is sad because of the mission to restore the Akhorsia Empire. Charles had a long time of regretting this.
In particular, the Dragonborn Paladin can summon a dragon-blooded lizard that resembles a demonic pet, which can be used as a mount and as a powerful and loyal helper.
"Pastor, thank you for helping me out of this difficult situation."
"May the platinum dragon god protect you."
The paladin Balasa took out a string of amulets made of shells from the collar of his armor, held the ornament, and said to Charles with a solemn expression.
"Uh......"
Charles blinked. Dare to love this holy warrior who used the same method of dealing with the aborigines on himself, what is this for? With suspicion in his eyes, he waved his hand and said, "Call me Charles." You and I are both players, don't use these fictitious things. β
Balasa shook his head, still holding the shell pendant, and said in a deep voice, "Bahamut has been watching his holy warrior. β
"Paladins should be the same as they are. Whether facing Aborigines or players. Remember their purity and virtue. The Paladin's actions must be in accordance with honor, not to lie, not to cheat, not to use poison ......"
"Stop!" Charles quickly stretched out his palm to stop Barraza from continuing.
He was truly ashamed, compared to the dragonborn paladin, as the priest of Ogmar, Charles felt that he was too derelict in his duty, not keen to spread knowledge, and often did not pray to Ogmar or something. It's just that when he obtains the divine art, when the divine father is useful, he takes out the doctrine and prayer and reads it again.
Charles felt that he was the standard Player Cleric.
Like Balasa. has always adhered to the code of the holy warrior and insisted on honor, is it too deep into the play?
Secretly comparing the fallen paladin who had attacked him in his heart, as well as the balasa in front of him, Charles's impression of the group of paladins instantly split.
There are shameless, power-seeking degenerates like Tylor.
There are also people like Barasa who are too deep in the play.
These are undoubtedly the two extremes, and being an ordinary clergyman is actually quite simple. Just like he is now.
Balasa held the shell-shaped pendant, closed his eyes and muttered for a while before tucking the pendant back into his collar, and then rolled over and sat down on the lizard's back without saying a word.
"What are you doing?" Seeing his menacing appearance, Charles must not be stupid enough to go out and find the skeleton warrior desperately, right?
"I'm going to cleanse that skeleton general!"
"I can feel the soul gathered in the skeleton warlord, crying to me, begging me to free him, and when the truly pure soul dies, he should ascend to the Seven Heavens, or return to the River Styx."
Sitting on the lizard, the Dragonborn Holy Warrior said with a divine look on his face.
"Damn!"
Charles hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed his arm, and said in a deep voice, "Are you crazy? It was an undead lord who was close to the exemplary rank. The entire underworld is in a blasphemous circle, and it will continuously regenerate health, and your output may not be as much as it regenerates. β
"The descendants of Akhorsia are never afraid of challenges!"
"Glory is life!"
"If even an immortal lord can't be purified, what is there to talk about restoring the past glory of the Akhorsia Empire? It's time for the Dragonborn to challenge themselves and unleash the power of their noble bloodline! β
With that, Barraza broke away from Charles' grasp and rode the lizard out of the passage.
Immediately after that, there was a fierce sound of battle outside, and the Dragonborn Paladin appeared and fought with the skeleton warrior who had not yet left.
Charles really didn't know what to say about this player.
Perhaps it can be said that the two identities of the Dragonborn and the Paladin are played too realistically at the same time? The simple entry into the play is too deep to describe Balasa, and his whole person is integrated into the world of "Dawn".
"Let's go check it out."
"There must be some reason why the Skeleton Warlord has been afraid to approach this passage."
After a moment's thought, Charles strode towards the entrance of the passage.
"Rumble"
In the wasteland not far from the entrance of the passage, Barraza rode a large lizard and fought with the skeleton warriors. The paladin took out his sword and heavy shield, and relied on the lizards under him who had a psychic connection with him, and for a time he was on an equal footing with the skeleton warriors.
Fortunately, the Skeleton Warlord is a pure warrior monster and can't cast spells, otherwise Balasa would be seconds in minutes.
"Roarβ"
The Skeleton Warlord was soon irritated by Barasa's troubles, roaring and roaring. The shattered curved blade blade swung out an afterimage, wrapped in terrifying power, and slashed at the holy warrior.
This is clearly a combat skill. The momentum was so fast that it was too late for Barraza to ride the lizard to dodge, so he could only block with a shield.
"Bell, bell, bell......"
There were three loud bangs in a row, and each time the loud noise came out, the balasa and the lizard trembled. A series of mandatory damage values popped up above the heads of one person and one mount.
Balasa's heavy shield had been dented in a large chunk, but it was not broken, and it seemed to be of good quality. But it didn't work.
After issuing the first combat skill, Bone Battle will continue to roar, and then use the second skill, [Burst Dash]!
Knock knock knock.
The ghostly flames in the eyes of the skeleton warhorse were like torches in an instant, shooting out rays of light. The tall skeleton horse tramples the ground with its hind hooves. And the skeleton warrior on horseback held his scimitar horizontally in front of him. made a charging stance.
Balasa ate the [Rainstorm Combo] in front of him, and the whole person was still dizzy, and the lizard under the seat was spitting out red cores, hissing and screaming, warning him.
There was no fear, no panic, the Dragonborn Paladin's face was calm, but his eyes were on the skeleton warrior. There is still a look of regret in his eyes.
I still haven't been able to purify this undead lord.
"[Scorching Radiance]!"
At this moment, a quiet voice suddenly came from the other side of the passage.
Immediately after, rays of sunlight focused on the top of the skeletal warrior's head. In an instant, a grand divine energy light cluster was formed, and it smashed down like a meteorite!
β-45β
A double damage value that is similar to a critical hit.
This is the power of the Three-Ring Divine Technique!
Scorched smoke erupted from the skeleton general's body, and the combat skills he was preparing were forcibly interrupted. In particular, the skeleton war horse under the seat was frantically scattering its hooves under the bombardment of the holy light, completely out of the control of the skeleton warlord.
"Not coming back yet?"
Charles threw a string of stilted words on the slope and turned and hurried back to the passage. It's right to save people, but it's not worth it to take yourself.
As soon as he entered the passage, he was approached by a chaotic sound of footsteps.
The paladin hung his limp left arm, his sword in his right hand, and the shield in his left hand had been retracted from his backpack, and he rode a listless lizard, following the charr.
It wasn't until he couldn't see the entrance of the passage that Charles stopped, looked at Balasa, chuckled, and said, "Do you want to go out?" β
Barraza didn't speak, silently inserting his sword back into its scabbard, his free right palm wrapped around a circle of divine light, touching his dislocated left arm.
This is the Holy Warrior's [Holy Heal] ability, which has a fixed amount of health per day, not the number of times it is used. To put it simply, health can be restored, and the size of this value is related to the level and charisma attribute of the paladin.
In addition, the [Holy Heal] points can be replaced with damage values, but they can only be effective if they are attacked by contact.
The dislocated left arm healed, and Balasa jumped off the lizard's back, stroked the lizard's head, and calmed his mount, before he spat lightly:
"I went from Comanso to Tifanton for the Advanced Mission."
"Holy Purifier."
"That's what I'm going to do."
After this battle, the holy warriors obviously realized that it was difficult to completely purify this world on their own. Therefore, two priests who need each other are destined to come together.
"Advanced missions?" Charles was slightly surprised, and asked tentatively, "Then when you entered this underground world, you didn't receive a single mission to open up the wasteland. β
"Nope. I'm here just to get advanced. Barraza shook his head.
"I'm purifying this place for the sake of the mission."
Charles's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and said, "So, what do you want to do together?" β
"You have helped me twice, and you are the priesthood of Ogma, absolutely neutral camp, and I have no reason to refuse...... Now, I, Holy Warrior, Balasa, am willing to be your companion. β
"Paladins will never abandon their partners!"
Balasa took out a shell-like pendant from the collar of his armor and held it in his right palm, his tone and expression full of solemnity.
"Well, this, isn't it a sacred ritual, can't it be a little more ordinary?"
Charr resisted the urge to roll his eyes, threw a team invitation to Balasa, and then spread his hands and said, "Look, it's that simple. β
"Now we're teammates." (To be continued......)
