After a long sea voyage, the ship finally docked on the shore. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Sailors in ragged clothes and beards climbed up and down the ship and lowered their sails and threw cables to the shore.

"Finally, are you back?" muttered the paladin Zephas, jumping before the ship could hold steady. As soon as he landed, he kissed the ground beneath his feet. And he prayed to the gods and thanked them for bless him to come back here.

Sailing in this era was fraught with threats. Not only are there sea monsters, storms, pirates, and other dangers that threaten ships at any time, but even calm seas can bring catastrophe - it will cause ships to lose power from their sails and become trapped at sea.

Moreover, this voyage is different because they are not completely sailing on a known route, but exploring the unknown world of the sea. It is therefore particularly dangerous.

So, being able to get back to shore in good condition is a great victory in itself.

Soon, dirty and smelly sailors poured down from the ship and onto the docks. Now, it's time for them to have fun. High spirits, heavy makeup, how long had they been expecting such a pleasure during the voyage? Accompanied by rough and debauched songs, sailors are looking for their own joy. Right now, they have a lot of money in their pockets for them to squander, let them enjoy and indulge in their desires. And the cunning tavernkeepers and prostitutes no doubt knew this, and they wrapped themselves around the sailors like leeches, sucking their blood.

Zefas calmly walked through the noisy crowd. Those pleasures are theirs, and have nothing to do with the holy warrior Zephas. Zefas now just wants to find a hotel to take a good shower and rest.

However, just as Zefas was walking away from the docks, a carriage stopped in front of him.

Zefas looked at the carriage in a daze, of course he recognized the family crest on it. Then the door of the carriage opened, and a gloved hand came out of it, making a polite gesture of invitation.

Zefas did not refuse, and he immediately boarded the carriage.

The space in the car was small, but the gentleman was very cultivated, and he did not show any dissatisfaction with the dusty Zephas. But he was also cold and said nothing except the necessary few words.

While Zefas was still wondering what was going on, the carriage turned a street and began to slow down, apparently reaching its destination.

Seeing the familiar scenery outside the window, Zefas was a little surprised. Of course he knew where it was.

"Why are you here?" a hint of doubt flashed through Zefas's mind. But he still didn't say anything.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and the gentleman jumped out of the carriage first, and then politely invited Zefass to get out of the carriage.

Zephas did not understand what was happening, but he did so, and followed the gentleman into the cathedral through the side door.

Then the gentleman whispered a room number to Zefas, and then turned and left the church.

Zefas, who was still at a loss, walked forward as he was told. For outsiders, the layout is quite complicated, almost like a labyrinth. For Zephas, finding that room in this deep place was a breeze.

Because it was in this church that he grew up.

Soon, he was in the room, knocked lightly, and with the permission of the people in the room, Zefas pushed the door open.

As soon as he saw the people in the room, he was immediately stunned.

Sitting at the unpretentious table was the cardinal who had given Zefas the rite of induction as a paladin.

"No, you and I don't have to be formal. The cardinal sat down at the table and waved his hand at Zephas.

But Zefas still saluted him meticulously. Zefas knew how important the person in front of him was.

"My dear child, I am glad to see you return safely. Just sorry, now the church will need you again. The cardinal said with a blank face.

Paladins are not iron-clad people, they need rest and entertainment all the same...... Otherwise, even the strong-willed paladin could go to the other side on his repeated journey—when you stare into the abyss, the abyss will stare at you. Those who fight against the devil should beware of becoming a devil themselves. Therefore, out of fear that the holy warriors would not be restored, they fell into darkness. This kind of situation where one task is followed by another is uncommon. A church is not the same as a tavern. Those adventures that begin in the tavern are disorderly, and the church is a sophisticated institution. When assigning tasks to subordinates, they are often carefully considered. Zefas had just come ashore, but through the magic of magic, he could hear the news on the ship. He knew that nothing had happened recently, and that the church would not be left unavailable. So, there should be something wrong with the task itself. And the reason why it was the nobleman's carriage that pulled him here and not the church's carriage just now must have been because the cardinal didn't want anyone to notice that he had summoned Zefas.

"That's right, it's a top-secret mission. The cardinal's wise eyes seemed to see through what Zeface was thinking. Then he went on to explain: "Now I'm going to tell you about the specifics of this mission......

After a while, when Zephas walked out of the room, he was still a little dazed, and he didn't know what to say. Still in front of him, a man with a poker face who he didn't know at all took him into the carriage and led him to meet his team.

This mission is not something that Zefas can accomplish alone. The cardinal had a fairly capable squad for him. All members are devout believers. Quite reliable.

"I believe that you are all capable and ideologically capable and ideologically able to make me have no worries, I will not say anything superfluous, I will first introduce you to the mission, and then we will go straight to the road. Zefas said simply and bluntly.

"They don't seem to know what's going on. After introducing the mission, Zefas thought to himself as he looked at his bewildered teammates.

That mission was pretty weird.

The mission given to them by the Cardinal is actually very simple: to find Elisa of the Capulet family and Daria of the Montague family. After that, there is no mercy for killing.

The team members and Zefas are both people who have lived in the city for a long time, and naturally know that both the Capulet family and the Montague family are powerful and wealthy nobles.

What's more, these two families are mortal enemies.

Alyssa and Daria are the ladies of the two families, and the team has heard of them, and Zefas has seen them separately at different balls.

"Why, exactly, did they make such a decisive order from the Cardinal?" the Holy Warrior Zepas looked at the two handsome girls in the portrait, and fell into confusion. This quest is full of mysteries from the very beginning.

Meanwhile, Zefas's target has already gone through a voyage and is at the first stop of their intended evasive pursuit.

The Dolomites, which are part of the majestic mountain range. In the first place, the one-eyed warlord led his army over the unusually precipitous mountains and into the heart of the enemy. Today, the two girls also plan to use it to get rid of the possible pursuers.

"Alyssa, from now on, the arduous journey has officially begun...... The previous trip to the sea was really nothing......" Daria said in a voice of pity and concern, holding Alyssa's white, slender fingers.

"It's okay," Alyssa smiled weakly, she was obviously shocked by the mountain range, but she was pretending to be strong, "As long as I can be with my sister, I am not afraid of anything." ”

"However, are those mercenaries really reliable? Will they go to places that are rare in human relations and ...... to the two of us" Alyssa peeked at the mercenaries not far away, and said to Daria in a low voice. You must know that in front of those mercenaries who can be capricious for the sake of profit, let alone these two little girls, even those city-states have suffered many times.

"No problem," Daria said confidently, "these mercenaries have been introduced by reliable friends, and all of them are in good standing. And don't forget your arcane and my magic. She patted Alyssa on the head encouragingly.

"Let's go, let's go. ”

No matter what the two girls had planned, they soon discovered their naivety and impracticality in the mountains. For the two pampered young ladies, it is difficult to adapt to that kind of life of eating and sleeping in the open no matter what. The minimum level of comfort they set for themselves results in two hours less travel each day. In the mountains, it was naturally impossible to ride in a carriage, and this led to a second great problem: both ladies could ride horses, but they always used the side saddles used by ladies, that is, they sat on their backs with their bodies twisted and sideways. This undoubtedly slowed down their travel speed again.

Therefore, when the paladin Zepas led his team to the mountains, they did not travel enough distance in the mountains.

The composition of the team of the paladin Zefas is by no means comparable to theirs: a priest with a lot of cultivation provides divine support, and in addition to him, the paladin Zefate and another ranger in the team can also provide weak divine support. Given the tight spell slot, the Cardinal arranged for a mage and a warlock to provide ample arcane support to the team. In addition, there is also a loitering who is very proficient in fighting ability and his own business. In addition to unlocking and disarming traps, he can also wield a short sword to protect the casters around him.

Such a team composition has no weak combat effectiveness in the vast majority of cases. What's more, all adventurers are time-tested veterans, and even mages, who are known for their weak physiques, won't slow down their team due to physical problems. Not to mention that there are rangers who are good at surviving in the wild, assisting the team to shuttle through the lofty mountains.

So, under the guidance of divination, Zefas and they got closer and closer to their goal day by day.

Well, I'm sure a lot of people are eagerly waiting for Martin to show off his skills or something

But for reasons you don't know, I'm going to postpone that episode a bit

So, let's fill in the previous pit first. For example, "Paladin Zephas" series, such as "Mask of the Wicked"

In addition, it is possible to try a gaiden or something, such as writing the story of the holy warrior Sophia.

Well, that's probably it.

Some time ago, there was a walk against Nihon. I don't have much to say about the walk itself. It seems that in other countries, it is not uncommon to take a walk against a certain country. For example, once the British took an anti-Libyan walk in front of the Libyan embassy. As a result, the Libyans actually shot bullets from inside the embassy!

However, this time there was a very eye-catching thing, that is, the matter of being stripped of clothes.

Speaking of which, that incident made the Japanese laugh at the Chinese people fiercely. It is said that the Chinese do not even know their own clothes.

Therefore, I think it is still necessary to show Hanfu in some public media and other places. It is best to let Hanfu go to the Spring Festival Gala.

However, I don't think it's necessary for ordinary people to buy a Hanfu, it's meaningless. For example, at many parties in Russia, we can see beautiful girls singing and dancing in traditional Russian national costumes. But on weekdays, in Moscow or other cities, how many Russians wear their traditional clothes?
