Chapter Ninety-Two: ZZ57PJ?JHOSWD2, JHOSWD3!
"Although Thomas's behavior is too reckless, we can't guarantee what we will do after hearing the bard's demagogic and incendiary words......" Although very reluctant, but unable to resist the strong request of his "lover" in the psychic link, Mina still stiffly forcibly made a forcible distinction for Thomas: "This avoids the danger of you being captured." ”
"Alas?" the little fat man who was the object of her speech was stunned: "How is it possible, I am not an important person." Even if I want to disrupt the order of this town, I will attack you and the speaker first, right? I believe that in the eyes of the people, I am just an ordinary person who guards the temple. ”
He stroked his gloved right hand and smiled wearily at his best friend.
Mina had met his father in the South many years earlier, before the Zolt had been separated from the mainland by the plague of magic.
"Don't you think this bloodline will cause others to threaten your father with you?"
Hearing Mina's words, Pastor Thom looked nervously at the Ranger. Before Mina could speak, Thomas, who sensed his intentions, sneered: "Isn't it immortality, there are immortal methods everywhere after the legend, as long as there are people who pursue it, who will scarce that thing." It's not a great thing to control the weather, isn't it possible for the Grand Arcanists of Netherworld City to do it?"
According to rumors heard by Thomas, the ring's ability to use various ice spells was insignificant, lacking the possibility of subsequent development, and summoning a white dragon and freezing the world was not beneficial, but it was said that it could spell a spell to shield the wearer's location, which was quite useful.
- But you also have to wait until you are successful and famous, and then you need to guard against other people's combo skills of detection, teleportation, assassination, and escape.
Mina smiled and nodded at Pastor Thom, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel, "Although he is too frivolous, he is quite reliable in big things, and he is not the kind of person who covets other people's treasures. ”
"Even if someone knows my ancestry, it won't affect the safety of the ring. Seemingly unconcerned, the fat man smiled open-mindedly and said, "I have lived alone on the streets of Cormier for many years...... I haven't found my home until now - and I'm just an illegitimate child, and even if I kidnap me, I'll never get a ring. ”
"I believe that their purpose is the Temple of the Three Saints itself, as the largest temple in Icewind Dale, it will make more sense to occupy this place than to occupy the town hall!" the fat man and Priest Thom glanced at each other, "Even if we are crushed, we must protect the safety of this place." Compared to us, it is the church and the church that are more important. ”
"You're wrong!" Thomas said as he looked at the two fighting friends, "Where is the organization, creed, and order without people?" Even Everroh thought that there must be another way to save the world, and there was no need to take his own life...... The so-called axioms and justices are just empty words, or are they the most important things to keep people alive......"
"I think you have a problem with your understanding of justice...... Mina grimaced
The commotion spread to the distant arsenal, and as the spokesman and the captain of the guard approached with their men, the paladins in the appearance of little girls were preaching to three large men who had gone astray.
The two who believe in the god of courage listen respectfully to the teachings, but the ranger, who shares her beliefs, is overwhelmed.
"Have you all forgotten?" Looking at the blank appearance of the three big men, the paladin smiled slightly mockingly: "Justice is everywhere, no matter the countryside battlefield, no matter the poor, the noble, the wise and ignorant—justice comes from simple love and humility, and justice is a right that belongs to everyone!"
Pastor Thom was a little puzzled, "This is mentioned in the story about that sword...... It just seems a little different?"
"That's what Itami said then, and the sentences you've heard are actually distorted. Mina said contemptuously.
The priest and the fat man looked humbly taught, she had been active in the Northland for hundreds of years, and indeed she might have grasped the truth closer to the truth than other channels. Sir Bralich had often praised Minai not only for his superior combat effectiveness, but also for his theoretical knowledge and convictions. Both of them used to think that he was too modest, but now it seems that although Mina is still a child, she does have a powerful temperament and majesty.
It's a pity that she still fell under that weird curse, and now she can't exert any strength, so she can only hold on - Reverend Heim knows that the paladin is definitely not the kind of person who is arrogant on a horse when he sees friendly forces, and combined with the details of her movements, she can be analyzed as an empty shelf with strong support.
Thinking of the bard's actions before, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. If the poet punctures the paladin's bluffing appearance, I am afraid that the surroundings will become much more chaotic than now.
In order to show his disdain, the ranger snorted softly, still stiff-mouthed: "Say it as if you have really seen pale justice...... I know that the sword, though famous, is actually far inferior to the Wind of Heaven and the Singing Sword of Echo......"
From the beginning, the priest felt that there was something strange between the paladins, rangers, and cat ninjas.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was tension between Mina and Catgirl, but the knee-jerk movements and body language between Mina and Ranger, and between Ranger and Cat Ninja, all showed that they saw each other as safe and reliable partners.
Coupled with the young man's deliberately naïve behavior, he seemed to know something about the relationship between the three of them.
"I think even if you're not very handsome, there will be good girls who will fall blind to you. Pastor Heim said suddenly to his friend.
"......" The fat man looked at him inexplicably: "What are you telling me about this?" I know that I am very handsome, but I have a little extra fat!"
"I've only heard some old dwarves boast when they're drunk, that the Sword of Aehonon is a more powerful weapon than Pale Justice, probably the strongest sword in Icewind Dale or even in the Northlands...... But what is the sword of Echo Singing?" asked the spokeswoman, who was listening from the sidelines, confused.
"Oh, that's what the legendary dwarven blacksmith Tilnon said. He gave the sword a girlish temperament and a singing voice, allowing the human warrior Iho to wield the sword to defeat the White Dragon Empress Ikasharaki. It's just that 'she' was also broken when Iho and Ikasharaci died together, and was later restored and strengthened by Tyrnon......"
"Next thing I've heard," said the sheriff, "that the hero who saved Ten Towns and Icewind Dale two hundred years ago used that sword to defeat the Barbarian Chieftain who unleashed the Heart of Winter and the Archdemon who tried to invade Feeron. ”
"I'm sure you'll be as great as those people of 200 years ago. Unlike others who wavered in their confidence, and even Thomas himself, the spokeswoman had confidence in him.
"So, just lend me my sister?" She also saw Mina's current situation, which was more important than her combat effectiveness to stabilize people's hearts: "The two of us going around to inspect it should make everyone less flustered." ”
"Well, there's a lot of time when it's not suitable for paladins in jingle armor to mix in – like tracking and sniping. ”
The bard's own words did not seem to be a great threat, and Thomas thought it better to lurk in the shadows and suddenly burst out and kill him.
"But you have to be careful, if that kid from Ewell kills the horse pistol, with the music bonus containing the dragon's breath energy, it will be very difficult to defend the Temple of the Three Saints - and even more dangerous is that you may be set on fire! So be careful to find cover and hide......"
Whatever he is good at, he will habitually think that others will do the same, and Thomas thinks that the best way to control Brynsander is naturally to snipe out important people one by one with the addition of music.
Instructing Mina to be wary of ranged attacks, Thomas, along with Blossom and Barnard, infiltrate the night and the crowd and begin to pursue the Bard. He uses teleportation to leave, but he came on foot, so there is still a possibility of finding his lair.
Although it was not yet night, it was actually getting dark, and there were many people around, so there was no need to worry about being attacked by the followers of Ewell.
"This kind of guy who manipulates others with words is as disgusting as the chicken plague remnants. ”
More than anger and hatred, Thomas was more afraid: Will I be controlled by words, will I become his kind of villain who imposes his ideas on others?
"There was a mage in my world named Aristotle who thought that bards who manipulated human minds and emotions with stories and music deserved to be put to death—though I suppose it had nothing to do with the death sentence of his teacher's teacher. ”
