Arrow smiled at him, turned and walked over to the tower shield, circled around, and looked.

After really seeing this tower shield, Arrow was really taken aback. Because this shield is not a simple shield at all, if you really want to say it, it is simply an arsenal!

There are two professional buckle straps on the back of the shield to attach to the arm, while there are also a number of belt buckle slots for other functions on the back of the shield.

Counting them closely, there are five belt slots, three of which have a mace, a one-handed sword, and a simple one-handed (harmony) crossbow on each of them.

Arrow tried to hold his hand on the back of the shield himself, and although he didn't have the strength to lift the shield up, he still found that he could pull out the weapon behind the shield with just a few strokes as Brad held up the shield. If you want to switch weapons, you only need to put the weapon back in your hand and simply buckle it up, and you can take out the next one.

"Paladin...... I didn't know before, but there are so many different ways of fighting paladins? ”

Arrow couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if you encounter a battle between paladins before, a layman like him doesn't have the energy to study it carefully, just watch the excitement.

But now that he has really experienced it, he has a little sense of the fighting style of this profession.

Coco jumped over, circled around the tower shield, and said with a smile: "Brother President~~~ I know what you're doing." You want to keep this couple and join our guild, right? ”

Airo was slightly stunned, but then smiled and said, "How do you know?" ”

Coco looked very smart, shook his head and said, "Isn't this simple? Because our guild currently doesn't have a complete strategy to fight against magic~~~ This is what you yourself said before, brother Guild. ”

The little girl immediately stretched out her hand and pointed at Brad next to her, and said with a smile: "And, ah, after the real head-to-head battle, we know that the paladin is really strong!" It's like the big man, he's the first to rush at that paladin when we're about to attack. But that paladin quickly dodged his attack! And then, the paladin immediately had a way to lift the curse he had unleashed on me, even ignoring Sister Margaux's sun-like ball of light! ”

"Paladin, it should be the one that the Holy See of Light specially uses to train warriors who can fight against magicians, right? So their methods of fighting all kinds of magic are simply familiar, and they can't be more familiar. My little white and little black don't have any time to react at all in his hands! If it weren't for the fact that there was only one person in that guy, and there were so many of us, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to control him all of a sudden! ”

Weak magical defenses.

This is precisely the current weakness of the Mermaid Song Guild.

Brad is a good fighter, but at best, he can take on the front row and protection of physical attacks.

As Coco said, the Mermaid's Song has always been weak against mages. This was true when he was in the Swamp, and it was the same when he was Bishop of the True Eye. At such a time, if you can have a front row that can defend against magic, it will definitely play a big role in improving the guild's combat effectiveness.

And according to the little bit of fur that he heard in the old Tengshu Academy, Arrow knew that in addition to some professions that have been trained to the extreme, or have ingenious combat methods, there are generally only two professions that can become the front row of magic defense: paladin and fallen knight.

The number of Fallen Knights is so rare that it is almost impossible to come by. And since you can become a fallen knight, it means that this kind of person's personality is very difficult to control. People in this profession are usually far away from the crowd and are unwilling to be in the company of ordinary people, let alone join a guild.

Therefore, I am afraid that the only one who can choose is the paladin.

But it's not so easy to recruit a paladin.

Not to mention the outrageous requirements that these guys with moral cleanliness have to join a small guild in such a remote place as themselves, I am afraid that the question of the paladin's faith will collide with his own views a hundred and eighteen thousand times.

So after thinking about it several times, Arrow decided to keep the idea in his heart for now. Anyway, the time of three years is almost up, so let's think about making money first.

But now......

A paladin is being locked up underground in his guild.

If he can be recruited, the guild can have a more diverse fighting style while having one less trouble.

But if you kill him, then I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the guild members......

Well...... Would it be the best outcome if the couple could die of food poisoning because they were not used to eating the food in such a remote town?

I thought so, but Arrow still reached out and gently rubbed Coco's head, and said with a smile, "Of course it's best if you can." Coco, are you confident that you can convince the couple? If you can convince them to join us in the Merfolk Song, you've done a great job! ”

Arrow's words were just teasing and comforting, but he didn't expect Coco's eyes to start shining! I was so excited!

The necromancer nodded hurriedly and shouted with his hands raised, "Brother President!" I'm going to do it this time! If Brad can get on good terms with that Bloodline, then I'll be able to pave the way for the new members to build bridges! ”

After saying that, the little girl smiled at Arrow, immediately turned around and rushed up to the second floor, and went back to her room. It's just that just a few seconds after rushing into the room, the little girl poked her head out again and said with a slightly shy expression: "That...... Brother President, when are we going to have dinner? ”

Arrow smiled and nodded: "Soon, I'll go and prepare." ”

Coco cheered, and then returned to the room, not speaking.

Airo rolled up his sleeves, looked at Brad and Parfay, who were also planning to go back to the room now, and said, "What? Did something happen between you and Cheese during this mission? ”

Brad rubbed the back of his head and thought for a moment of confusion: "And cheese?" Well...... Nothing. Along the way, I was afraid that he would be lonely, so I was always talking to him. Ah, when I was in danger with that paladin, it was Cheese who ran out to save me, and that's it. ”

Let's go! Arrow rubbed his shoulder, turned his gaze to the cellar door, then looked at Cream's room again, and nodded.

He then asked Brad to carry the hill-like salute to the training room in the back, while he himself went into the kitchen and prepared dinner.

Today, the guild members completed an expedition, so tonight's meal should be a little more hearty.

————

At night, the whole mermaid song gradually began to quiet down.

The heat of dinner time has now been extinguished, and the long-deserted guild has regained the tranquility of the night after a brief supper of enthusiasm.

Cheese woke up and looked refreshed after tasting the blood clot cube again after almost a month. He touched the two repaired guns, inserted them into the pouch with great skill, and took down a commission for night work on the bulletin board.

Before leaving the guild, he turned his head and glanced at the corner of the guild where there was no light, and after a moment, he sneered and walked out of the guild gate.

...... in the guild hall Be quiet.

After a long time, a small figure emerged from that dark corner, patted the dust on his robe, crept to the cellar door, bent down, put his ear to the cellar door, and listened to the sound inside.

"Husband, you say...... What do we do next? We...... Will you really die here? ”

"I won't die, I won't die here so easily!"

"Woooooooooo......oo Small Cream ...... Where's my little cream now...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Don't cry! I only know how to cry and cry all day long, is it useful to just cry? What does my dad's Paladin Creed say? ”

"Woo...... Clause...... Article 8 ...... My weakness...... It will only be left to the lover...... Pope...... ...... with the god of light No enemy can see any cowardice in my face......"

"It's a good back, now that you know it, don't always cry like this. I'll find a way to escape, and I'm not going to die in such a cheap place. ”

"So...... What should we do? How are we going to get out of here? ”

“…………”

"Husband...... Talk...... I'm so scared...... I'm so scared! It doesn't matter if I'm dead...... But our son...... Small Cream ...... Woowoo...... If you can tell me that Creamy is living in peace somewhere now, it doesn't matter if I die now......"

“…………”

"Husband, you say...... How are you saying that Little Cream is now? He's four years old this year, isn't he...... Will you remember me as a mother? I still seem to remember how he felt when he lay in my arms...... I dreamed at night several times...... It feels like I've seen the little cream now......"

"That's enough."

"Woo...... Husband, you ...... What did you say? ”

"I said enough of you! Are you annoyed? I can't even think about it anymore! ”

"Good...... I...... I don't bother you...... I'll make you think......"
