Slowly approaching the paladin, whose expression was distorted by pain, the black-robed man covered his face with his palm and said, "It's uncomfortable, isn't it?" It's painful, right? Don't worry, I'll help you out now. ”

As he spoke, the green light of the black-robed man's right hand flashed, and he saw that the young paladin's skin began to crack like a land that had lost a piece of water, from his feet to his waist to his neck.

Then, in the desperate and frightened eyes of the paladin, he saw the holy light energy in his body slowly drifting out of his mouth, then his nose, his ears, and finally his eyes went black, and he fell into endless darkness.

And those holy light energies floating out of his body were condensed into his hands by the black-robed man, turning into a small ball of light.

"Tsk, this is too little~ Alas, sure enough, risks and benefits coexist, killing this kind of chick is really nothing to gain."

The black-robed man shook his head as he took out a black round container, and then put the ball of light, which was about the size of a ping-pong ball, on the container and gently pinched it.

"Tick ......"

The shattered ball of light turned into a liquid and dripped into the container.

Glancing into the container, the black-robed man showed a smile and said to himself: "Hmm~ Although there are not many each time, it is almost enough to kill a few more." ”

Putting the container back into the black robe, the man in the black robe said to the demon dog, "Eat, they are all yours." ”

The demon dog let out a cry of joy, and then inserted two black antennae on its head into the warrior's body.

When the demon dog sucked the magic power in the warrior's body, a man with a longbow on his back suddenly appeared beside the black-robed man like a shadow and said, "I heard that the Dragon Kingdom has sent reinforcements, it is estimated that it is to find you, it is better for you to keep a low profile recently." ”

The black-robed man showed a big smile after hearing this: "I've always been very low-key, are you a reinforcement from the Dragon Kingdom...... I don't know if there are any good seedlings of paladins, hehehehe. ”

Knowing that the black-robed man didn't listen to his words at all, the longbow man didn't bother to say more, took a few steps back and disappeared into the forest like a shadow.

……

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Mr. Paladin, dinner is ready."

In front of a small, dilapidated house in Ribaken, Masila shouted as she banged on the door.

After a while, Jiang Feng opened the door and looked at Masila and said with a smile, "Thank you, I'll go over right away." ”

"Okay." As soon as Marsilla finished speaking, she turned around to leave, but Jiang Feng grabbed her and said, "Wait, this is for you." ”

Looking at the chocolates handed over by Jiang Feng, Marsila hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I can't ask for it anymore!" If you are too greedy, you will be punished by God. But when he spoke, his eyes couldn't leave the piece of chocolate.

Jiang Feng thought for a while, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into Marsila's hand and said, "Then this is as a reward for you to call me to eat, this is not greedy, right?" ”

This time, Masila no longer refused, and bowed towards Jiang Feng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Paladin." ”

"Go ahead, I'll be right over."

Waiting for Masila to jump and run away, Jiang Feng returned to the room and looked at a map on the table that was marked with various marks and muttered to himself, "It's been two days...... Am I really wrong in my judgment that I didn't find anything at all? ”

In the past two days, Jiang Feng searched all the corners around the village, but he found neither the warlock nor the demon's lair, and the demons who burned down the Libaken Village church seemed to have passed by here and done it easily.

'Alas, maybe it's really just that I'm thinking too much......' Closing the map, Jiang Feng casually picked up a coat and put it on and walked out of the house.

Anyway, I will do another inspection tomorrow for the last time, but I really didn't find it, so I had to go back. ’

With this thought, Jiang Feng came to the small courtyard of Marcyla's house, which was where he had eaten for the past few days.

Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Marsila affectionately helped him pull out a chair and said, "I ate sweet potato and flower fish soup today, I just tasted a little sweet potato, it's sweet!" ”

In two days, Jiang Feng didn't find out the whereabouts of any demons or warlocks, but he was familiar with the people in the village, especially Marsila in front of him, after knowing that Jiang Feng had killed a very powerful demon for their village, he had been sticking to him and asking all kinds of questions, and his cute and lively appearance made Jiang Feng can't help but think of Jiang Hanrui.

"That's great, I really want to eat sweet potatoes today."

While the two were talking, Masila's mother Iman walked out with a large pot of big and red sweet potatoes and said to Jiang Feng: "I'm relieved to hear that you like me, I was worried that you don't like it." ”

Jiang Feng stepped forward and took the plate and said, "How come, madam, everything you cook is delicious." ”

"Then you eat first, and I'll go and bring out the fish soup."

Libaken is a wealthy village, but the villagers are hardworking, so it is no problem to be self-sufficient.

Marsila had never seen her father since she was born, and her mother told her that her father was dead, but she didn't tell her why, which made Marsira puzzled all the time.

During the meal, Marsira broke open a sweet potato and took a bite, although it was scalded and blown, but her face was full of happy smiles.

Iman stretched out his hand to wipe the sweet potato residue off the corner of Masila's mouth, shook his head and smiled, "Masila, you should be more ladylike when you eat." ”

Marsila smiled and nodded, but immediately took another big bite of the sweet sweet potato.

Glancing at Masila helplessly, Iman took a sip of flower fish soup and said to Jiang Feng, "Mr. Jiang, can I take the liberty of asking a question?" ”

"Of course, please." After swallowing the sweet potato chewing in his mouth, Jiang Feng replied.

"When will this catastrophe pass?"

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thought for a long time, and replied honestly: "I can't be sure about this, but we will try our best to make them dare not come out." ”

Sighing, Iman touched his daughter's hair and said, "Masila will be 9 years old next year, and I want to send her to school in the town next door, but in this situation, how dare I leave the village." ”

"Mom~" Marcella shouted coquettishly: "You don't have to study, I help you raise chickens at home, and the weaving is also very good." ”

"Silly boy, aren't you shouting that you want to be a hero like Uncle Jiang, how can you do it if you don't go to school?"

"It's okay, even if I don't study, I can be a hero in the future!" Marcila shouted with her hands on her hips.

Shaking his head, Iman looked at Jiang Feng again and said, "I'm sorry, I asked some questions that shouldn't be asked, you continue to eat, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

"It's okay." Jiang Feng waved his hand and continued to nibble on the sweet potato in his hand.

After dinner, Iman packed up his dishes and went to the kitchen, while Marcila sat on the steps of the courtyard and stared at the stars.

"What do you think?" Jiang Feng sat next to her and asked.

"If you go to school, will you be able to become a hero like you, Mr. Paladin?" Masila turned her face sideways and asked Jiang Feng.

"Not necessarily." Jiang Feng shook his head, "But even if you can't be a hero, you should go to school." ”

"Why?"

"Because you can learn knowledge, for example, didn't you ask me yesterday why there are no books and lakes around your village? This involves geography, where latitude and atmospheric circulation determine the formation of arid zones, where there are no seas and lakes. ”

Weft ...... Degree? Atmospheric circulation? Marsila blinked twice, "What's the use of learning then?" ”

"Knowledge may not be useful to you, but it can make you see the world from a different perspective, and it will also make your life more fulfilling, for example, if you learn the lingua franca is the embodiment of knowledge, if you can't, we can't sit here and chat."

"yes." Masila laughed twice, then hugged her legs and said, "But even if there are no demons, going to school is very expensive, and I don't want my mother to work too hard." ”

After listening to Masila's words, Jiang Feng fell silent, he could do his best to expel the demon, but he couldn't do anything about such a thing as education popularity.

Even in times of peace, not every country can do a good job in basic education, especially in war-torn countries, where the rate of education coverage is even more worrying.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Feng said: "But if you want to change this situation, you have to study even more, so that you can give your mother a better life in the future." ”

"I ...... If I could, I would definitely try my best. ”

"Well, you can."

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Feng rode his motorcycle towards the outside of the village as usual, this was his last day of exploration, and he prayed to the Holy Light in his heart that he could make a discovery.

After driving all the way to the southwest, Jiang Feng planned to go to the mine that Kafki Village Chief told him to see, maybe he would find something there.

"Help! Does anyone help me!! Help me! ”

Jiang Feng, who was driving, suddenly moved his ears and heard a cry for help in the distance, but he didn't drive directly like the sound of a cry for help, but frowned and thought as he continued to move forward.

Because this person shouted for help in the lingua franca of human beings, this made Jiang Feng feel a strong sense of disobedience, obviously in the territory of Barotan, how could a person who fled in a panic subconsciously know the lingua franca to shout for help?

After listening quietly for a while, Jiang Feng could roughly determine that it was some kind of four-legged creature running after someone.

As soon as the thought moved, Jiang Feng turned on the [Concentration Aura].

'Change the momentum to a star, change the basic spell to the Angel of Justice, change the inner array diagram to [Concentration] to drive the outer array diagram to a pentagram, modify the outer magic ring to a fixed text, change the magic attribute to wind, change the formation to a corner, and turn on the bell sound auxiliary magic array......'

After changing the magic array, the [Focus Aura] turned into a [Spirit Sound Talisman Spell] that allowed Jiang Feng to concentrate his mind to one point, and then after resonating with the [Blue Heart], a red mysterious rune appeared on Jiang Feng's forehead.

As soon as the thought moved, Jiang Feng's spiritual power concentrated into a point and searched in the direction he heard with his ears.

"Demon dogs?"

A few seconds later, Jiang Feng's spiritual power sensed the aura of the four-cornered creature in the distance, and found that it was actually a demon dog chasing an ordinary person.

'A demon dog wants to kill an ordinary person and give him a chance to shout for help?' What a bad trap......

Shaking his head, Jiang Feng pressed the headset and began to call the headquarters.

While quietly calling for support, Jiang Feng, who pretended not to hear, continued to search around on his motorcycle, and the truth was as he expected, that person kept shouting for help, and the demon dog could never catch up with him.

It wasn't until the message "The deployment has been completed" came from the walkie-talkie that Jiang Feng drove the motorcycle towards the man who shouted for help.

'Are you trying to ambush me?' Maybe a normal professional wouldn't think as much as I did, or did he deliberately design it so badly? But for what? ’

In this way, in the process of debating whether the other party laid such a trap because he underestimated himself, or whether he placed such a trap because his IQ was so high, Jiang Feng pretended to hear the call, and hurriedly pressed the accelerator to the end, rushing to the scene of the incident as fast as possible.

As for why he acted like this, it was because Jiang Feng knew that the warlock had a skill called [Eye of Kilrog], which would hide in the dark and observe, Jiang Feng was worried that he was already being observed, and if he didn't act, he would scare away the warlock who might be ambushing him.

Rushing to the scene of the incident on a motorcycle, Jiang Feng saw the demon dog that was chasing a human.

Seeing that the man was out of breath, Jiang Feng directly turned on the [Dedication] and drove the motorcycle towards the demon dog.

The demon dog was not false at all when he saw Jiang Feng rushing over, and directly jumped up and opened his bloody mouth to bite Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng, on the other hand, directly opened the second-order [Righteous Sacred Seal] and pulled out the [Twilight Fang] on his waist and slashed towards it.

With a "click", the brave demon dog was split in half and fell to the ground.

'It's too weak......, isn't it?'

Jiang Feng, who was complaining, stopped his motorcycle and walked towards the Barotan man with a somewhat defeated face, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

The Nabarotan gasped and replied in lingua franca, "No...... It's okay, thank you for saving me. ”

"It's just a gesture, where is your home? I'll send you back. ”

"I live...... Yes! I ......"

In the middle of his words, the Barotan man suddenly covered his chest with a painful face, but Jiang Feng saw that he immediately turned on the guardian aura to protect him as expected, and at the same time pressed the headset and said, "Dongyi, the other party has made a move, do you feel the fluctuation of magic power?" Please answer if you receive it. ”

"Perceived, rounded up."

"Okay, good luck to you."

From the time he approached this Barotan man, Jiang Feng had already considered that he would have a [Calamity Mark] on his body, after all, it was a trap, and "detonating" it while he was comforting him would naturally cause the greatest damage to himself.

However, since the [Mark of Calamity] is also within the range of extraordinary abilities, it is natural that it can also be restrained with extraordinary abilities, and the [Guardian Aura] is one of them, and the [Calamity Mark] cannot be detonated until the magic shield of the [Guardian Aura] is broken.
