On the top of a hill in the distance, watching the battle in the sparse woodland, Anna looked at the thin branches in Marin's hand, smiling in silence.

It was a reward from an exotic god, and Anna had seen that there were no less than ten such 'wood products' in the Church of Justice, each of which had the power of an artifact, and regarded the ghost energy as a physical object, capable of causing damage to spirits, ghosts, and all other virtual objects, and when hit on innocent people, it could cause healing effects.

It is said to be a twig plucked from a huge and divine tree.

Anna had never seen such a giant tree, nor had she heard of such a legend in this world, and in the mouths of some Outer Plane Travelers, this tree was called the World Tree, and the God of Justice had different names in the Outer Planes, and some travelers from a large world affectionately referred to this god as ...... John doe.

They are all exotic gods, this one is a great being, and unlike those evil gods, he appears in different planes, all for salvation.

If there were no just churches, hundreds of years ago, this world would have slipped into the abyss, becoming a nest and hatchery of evil gods, and every child born in this world would be a carrier of chaos...... Doom is the best ending for all people in this world, and death is the best commentary on all living beings in this world.

Fortunately, with the appearance of this righteous god, he is also recasting the god system when the local gods are weakening day by day.

Even if it was an elf, Anna sometimes thought that such a great god was indeed worth her faith.

But he doesn't really need faith, unlike the native gods, this great being doesn't need faith, he prefers his followers to do the right way, do good deeds, faith? Prayer? The priests who he didn't need at all, and he could even give to him unconditionally, could use the divine magic every day without tasting it.

None of this requires faith, just pastors who stand on the good side.

Now, he has given the Sacred Branches to Marin—even if it is only a temporary right to use them, it is enough to prove that he has passed the test of the Great Being, and his character is beyond reproach—after all, this kind of Shoot is not something that anyone can hold in his hands, and in the history of the Church of Justice, their masters have been killed on the battlefield more than once, and there are plenty of records that those who are evil and dark have tried to pick them up or destroy them, but every time they do, judgment from the outer planes will come as expected.

Nowadays, all living beings in this world know that only the good can pick up those twigs of the God of Justice.

"I feel the breath of my lord appear here, Lady Anna of Lilianm, good afternoon."

The bishop of the Church of Justice walked out of the portal, he glanced at the battle situation, and then frowned: "My lord's paladin...... And one more was sacrificed. ”

"It is the great sacrifice, Your Excellency Bishop, that the great God of Justice has come down and Marin of the Church of the Goddess of the Harvest has received a twig."

"I see it, to be recognized by my lord, this child has the right to hold on to it, but madam, are you really comfortable letting him fight that ghost." The bishop frowned.

"In the battle of the oath, the righteous man made an oath with Marin, and I can only enter the hall when they have a winner." It was a pact made between the paladin and Marin, Anna had no qualifications or authority to interrupt this sacred battle, and only when Marin was in a desperate situation could Anna involve herself in the battle.

"Nonsense, even if Marin is a kid who is far more talented than others...... However, to be able to resolutely make a vow at that desperate moment is also the character of a warrior. The bishop looked at the battle on the field and shook his head: "If the battle does not end for a long time, the ghost transformed by the saint will become stronger and stronger, and his victory rate will become lower and lower. ”

"I believe in this child, his father...... It's my mentor. Anna watched the battle below with her hands on her hips, Marlin, a kid who had just dodged the ghost's flickering thrust with a tumbling roll, and then a beautiful somersault to deliver a decapitating blow, while still being able to fight back with the twig in her hand.

Feel...... The child was not at all bound by gravity.

It's like the old man Anna once loved the most, her mentor.

“…… I see, so do you. A smile finally appeared on the bishop's old face.

"Yes, just like you too." Anna turned her head to look at the old man, "We are all gifts from our mentors to this world, and that child will too." ”

………………

Forcing back the ghost in front of him with the twig in his hand, watching it blur again, Marin first turned to the left, and at the moment when the ghost disappeared, he turned to the left at the same time, facing the swinging Phantom Long Sword, Marin held the sword with the twig in his hand.

There is no sense of impulse, and both the ghost and the long sword in its hand use negative energy, that is, ghost energy, as the way to damage, so this small branch can block the ghost energy, and it can also cause damage to the ghost in front of it.

The ghost didn't give up, he screamed, his empty hand grabbing Marin.

If it were a normal person, this would be enough to control the screaming of his mind and expose him to damage from the spirits, but for Marin, it was just a bit 'noisy'.

It slid away as the musket from his waist pulled the trigger at the ghost in front of him, the first bullet piercing its body, causing no damage, and Marin pulled the trigger a second time as the ghost screamed closer.

This is a special bullet baptized with holy oil, a silver steel ingot as a warhead, and a sacred blessed gunpowder as the base.

The moment the warhead touched the ghost, it screamed and vanished into thin air.

Marlin rolled again, dodging the thrust from the rear, and in the process of rolling, two bullets flew into the air, and when Marlin got up, he just combined the ejected bullet nest, the thrown cartridge case, and the bullet that happened to fall together, completed the reload, put the revolver back into the holster, Marlin held the branch in both hands, and in an instant, the branch in his hand became the length of the gun.

Sweeping away the ghost in front of him, Marlin pursued it with a thrust, and when the ghost was about to avoid the void again, a golden ball of light jumped out of the tip of Marin's left finger, which landed on the ghost's body, 'healing' it while interrupting its movements, and then the small ball of light 'jumped' back into Marin's body.

At the same time, the branches had pierced the ghost's chest.

It grabbed the branch, and black smoke was emitting from the wound and the hand that touched it, but the ghost swung its sword, forcing Marin to retreat, and forcing him to retract the branch.

But before the ghost could recover from its injuries, the golden ball of light flicked again, and it landed on Maya's head, and then slammed into the ghost with rapid speed.

And so another scream, healing an injury is not a blessing or a burden for a healthy being, but for a ghost - it is like poison.

While the wraith was still screaming, Marlin once again pulled out his revolver and withdrew his left hand from the branch that was stuck on the ground.

The wraith's scream, which had taken a lot of damage, was out of tune, and it began to spontaneously combust - a state of exposure to too much divine energy.

Throwing away the turning gun, Marlin pulled up the branch, at this moment, the branch once again turned into the shape of a sword, facing the approaching Marin, the ghost swung the long sword, but was directly swept away by Marin.

Then the exotic artifact was stabbed into the wraith's chest by Marin.

As if something had been punctured, the ghostly energy in the ghost's body was swept away.

Features appeared on the transparent face of the revenant in front of Marin, and it pulled out the branch from its chest and handed it to Marin's hand.

After Marlin took the branch, it got up: "Thank you, child. “

“…… I should say thank you. Marin looked at the paladin in front of him: "Can your god resurrect you, he is so...... Great. ”

Marin really didn't want to mention the word great, even though he was in a world where there were gods, but he still didn't want to worship gods.

"No, I set my soul on fire, it's irreparable, we haven't been able to destroy all the chaos, but ...... Your friends helped us with the final piece of the puzzle. It turned to look at the girls, then turned and walked deeper into the woodland.

In front of Marin, the woodland was gradually replaced by golden fields, and in the distance, a huge tree stood, and the branches in his hands were shaking, so Marin plunged it into the ground.

Instead of burrowing into the soil as Marin had hoped, new shoots emerged from it, and a small rattan wrapped around Marin's hand.

Marin didn't immediately retract the branch, he watched the paladin walk into the distance, where a number of figures dressed like him gradually appeared.

Someone walked over and shook his hand.

Someone walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

He also bowed his head to one of the old men.

Then a paladin in the form of a girl walked out of the crowd, and she opened her hand and hugged him.

"The Golden Field, the Holy Land of the Righteous Paladins, I always thought that all this was nothing more than the beauty that existed in the teachings of the Church of Justice." Faye walked up to Marin, her expression was a little complicated, and Her Royal Highness the princess, who looked at Marin, first lowered her head, and then said sorry.

Marin shook his head - he didn't need her apology, it was he who volunteered to stay and break it for them: "It's all my choice, I don't need to apologize." Marin reached out and rubbed Faye's head.

The golden fields dissipated in front of them, and at last, Marin saw the paladin caressing his chest.

Marin also stroked his chest.

He didn't believe in gods because he was born in a godless world. But he respects heroes because he has seen countless heroes in the book and shed their blood for the same dream.

When the golden field was completely gone, Marin turned to face Faye, and looked at his peers with apologetic looks in front of him, he smiled and reached out to take her hand.

"I really don't blame you, and you came back...... I was really touched because I felt that you could abandon my life and move forward to death for me...... I don't know how to repay you. ”

In Marin's heart, he brought them to this place of execution, so naturally they should be given a chance to survive, and let Faye take Maya away, which was also Marin's idea - they were still young, not like he had already lived a life...... And the girls returned for him, this is the most sincere friendship, and it is difficult to repay.

“…… Then, you will repay us with your life. As Faye said this, Jessica came over, and the little lamb leaned in, and the rabbit girl moved herself with red eyes.

Marlin paused for a moment.

"I seem to have made a lot of money in this business." He looked at the girls with some embarrassment.

"It's just that you're making a lot of money, aren't you satisfied, Mr. Marin." Faye asked rhetorically with his hands on his hips.

Ma Lin naturally shook his head, he couldn't sell it if he got cheap: "I'...... I don't know what to say. ”

Here Marin was still thinking about how to make a speech about the winner of life, and over there Maya rummaged through the elf's corpse, and then ran over quickly: "Brother! This guy is still alive! ”

Marin could feel the unhappiness on the girls' faces, but Faye, the leader of them, raised his eyebrows: "Forget it, let's think about your winning speech in life first." The girl used the new words written by Marin, and then took Maya's hand: "Let's go, let's go and treat the lucky one." ”

Since the girls were going together, Marin was ready to follow.

He then saw Sheila and Selena dragging Jason out of a rough patch, "Is he still alive?" ”

"Alive! But I'm still in a coma! Marlin, can you come and treat him! Selena shouted as she looked at Marin anxiously.

"No problem, I'll go over and do me a favor, girls, go and heal the elves."

"Leave it to us." Faye said as he opened the small satchel around his waist, which was full of potions and bandages: "Maya just said that he had poured potion on that guy and he couldn't die. ”

So Marin ran to Selena, and then saw Jason's injuries - the plate armor on his chest was dented in, but not much, it should be a coma caused by fractures and pain, or it may have hurt his lungs, but seeing that he was still breathing, Marlin first unfastened Jason's chest armor shoulder strap with Sheila, and then Marlin carefully removed the front chest armor.

Selena immediately slit Jason's shirt with a dagger, and Marlin started with a recovery operation - this is a technique to restore the fractured part, if you don't use this technique to directly treat serious injuries, then Jason will need to break his ribs again in order to treat his bone depression.

The pain caused by the surgical recovery of his ribs finally woke the young man to his senses, and he struggled at first, then immediately relaxed when he saw Marin.

"Don't talk, we survived, and now we're treating you, your ribs are broken in the whole row, I'm going to give you a treatment, maybe it hurts, but you have to endure it." After Ma Lin finished speaking, he waited for a while: "Do you need me to fix you, so that even if you can't help it, you won't move." ”

Jason nodded.

So Marlin gave the kid a human immobilization.

Then he was given a brush to treat a serious injury.

Then I saw that this guy's face changed, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted again.

Sheila immediately put a slap on Jason's neck: "Alive, it's fainted." ”

"Definitely, I accidentally broke someone's leg during training, and I can faint in pain during treatment, Jason's injury, I think it must be very painful to ......" Speaking of this, Marin sighed: "If only I could peel off the feeling of the five rings." ”

This is a curse technique, usually used for torture, and the person who has stripped the senses is like being locked in a small dark room, without five senses, it is a very terrible technique, but at this moment, it should reduce the pain a lot.

"I will." Sheila pointed to herself.

Marin pursed his mouth.

It's too late, you idiot.
