Early in the morning, the paladin Zefas woke up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time it was a natural awakening, and he was on vacation. He didn't have to wake up from a campfire tired from wearing armor all night, he didn't have to cut off his sleep because of the vigil, and more importantly, he didn't have to worry about the night attack of monsters.

But he still hadn't rested, and he woke up tired. He stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking back to last night's dream.

He dreamed of his father's face.

His father is now a Black Guard.

Once, his father brought great glory to the family. As a paladin who has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, his father has always been praised by people of good will.

However, the trick of fate changed everything.

Kid, damn kid.

His father, on an outing, met eleven children, changed half of his father's children, changed his life's children.

I don't know why, I don't know what those children did, the boulder rolled down, and they didn't have time to run away. The boulder rolled towards the ten children who had gathered together. Not far away, a lone child watched in amazement.

His father was powerless to stop that, but he could change it, and by throwing a stone in a proper place, he could change the direction in which the stone was rolling, thus saving the ten children.

But his father didn't do that, and if he did, the new direction in which the stone rolled would have been rolled over the child.

His father didn't do that, and the value of life is a serious question. He had no right to sacrifice the lives of one innocent child to save the lives of those ten. Is it possible to sacrifice the interests of a completely innocent minority for the sake of the majority?

So the boulder rolled down, breaking the bones and tendons of the ten children, and the immature child's voice let out a piercing scream, the voice of a man who had tried his best to come to the end of his life. The sound overshadowed the sound of the boulder rolling for a moment. The tender lotus-like limbs were crushed by the boulder, and the cute little face was crushed. The skull burst and the brain was squeezed out without any suspense. After the boulder, what was left on the ground was a miserable body. Colorful intestines, red blood, and some yellow, white, and other colors are intertwined. His father had been through a lot of battles, but he rarely saw this tragic scene. Ten children, all of whom are in the prime of their lives, are the treasures of their parents, and they carry the expectations of their parents. Now it is lying there lifeless, it will become the food of maggots, and it will turn into dung.

It was terrible, there were a dozen witnesses who saw it. They saw the tragic death of the child, and even more so that it was his father's inaction that led to the tragic death of ten instead of one.

Soon, word spread, and angry parents pounced on his father, wielding sticks and kitchen knives. And his father couldn't do anything to the angry parents, so he ran away in disarray.

Then, word spread on a larger scale. Later, every time Zepas and his father went out on the street, they would hear the bard's singing, "That paladin has no brains, he can't calculate how much ten minus one is! That paladin has no hands, he doesn't do what a peasant would do! That paladin's blood has no temperature, and he ignores the grief of others!"

The trick of fate, the trick of fate!

A similar situation happened again, this time when his father, in extreme hesitation, chose to sacrifice an innocent person to save eight lives. He told everyone afterwards that the move was done by the devil. But no one believed it.

And then even worse, the scholars criticized "Is the value of life calculable?" and the scholars also wrote a play about an old woman who said that her children had died on the front lines in a big war, and that her only son was in the most dangerous place, and that she hoped to find her only remaining son. So a team of eight people was sent for this purpose. The old woman's son was saved, but all eight were killed. One and eight speculations caused a storm, and his father was under great pressure.

Later, he didn't know exactly what had happened, but anyway, his father had another accident. In the end, the Holy Warrior, unable to bear it, chose to fall completely. Zefas's father, who became a Blackguard.

He brought the whole family to shame. Zefas thought so.

This kind of thing, the pressure on Zefas, who was still a child at the time, can be imagined. Everyone knows what it means to be a father to a child.

However, Zefas's father degenerated into a Black Guard.

After that, Zefas chose his path, and Zefas became a paladin.

Then, he learned the price it takes to become a paladin.

Paladins are not just characters who ride tall horses and wear shiny armor to receive blessings from people.

They are under unimaginable pressure.

Can't lie. These four words may seem simple, but only the paladins know what they mean.

Just yesterday, when he was playing with his little niece, the cute little niece suddenly asked, "Uncle, will I become a princess when I grow up, and then a handsome prince charming will marry me?" And at that moment, Zefas couldn't smile like an ordinary person and picked up the little girl and said, "Of course, you are my little princess now." The paladin Zepas had to explain seriously for a long time, and then watched the little girl look at him with bewildered eyes, and the harmonious atmosphere became gone.

Not only that, but when he went out to buy something, the neighbor's aunt asked, "Have you eaten?" and he could only answer truthfully. Then he wasted a lot of time convincing the neighbor's aunt not to cook for him. The neighbor's aunt's meal was hard to eat, and of course the holy warrior Zefas would refuse. What's worse is that when the neighbor's aunt jokingly asks, "Do you think my cooking is unpalatable?", that is the most embarrassing.

Zefas also fell. He used to have his girl, and that was how happy he was, so happy. But he is a paladin who wants to fight evil and protect good. That naturally means danger. Before a mission he knew he was going to die, he comforted his girlfriend and said, "Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all." Before he could finish speaking, he fell. The holy warrior shall not lie, for to lie is to fall. Fortunately, the depravity caused by this lie only requires a single atonement by the pastor. Although, it is not easy to find a priest who is capable enough to perform atonement.

He survived that mission. But then he lost his girl. Because he had learned to be full of worries in his conversation with the girl, his love words became so boring that the girl left him.

A lie is a lie, and a paladin must not lie.

The paladin Zepas always remembered an incident when he was a child, he cried so much that his mother lied to him that when his father returned, she would give him her magic sword. Naturally, he stopped crying, and for a child, the attraction of the magic sword can be imagined. When his father returned, he begged him for a magic sword. When his father asked his mother for the reason, he immediately untied the magic sword and gave it to him. His father refused to be an accomplice to a liar.

That's what his father, who had become a Black Guard, had done.

He dreamed of his father's face again yesterday.

After sitting on the bed for a while, the Holy Warrior Zepas stopped remembering. Get up and get dressed, then walk out into the street.

After a period of boring wandering, he decided to go and play with his friends.

When he arrived at his friend's house, his friend happened to be going out for a while. So he played with his friend's cat and chatted to pass the time.

I have to say that cats are creatures, although they are fierce predators, but they are still very cute in the end. Paladin Zephas's friends have a lot of cats. There are from pure black to pure white, and naturally there are many flower cats. The paladin Zefas quickly gained the trust of the cats and played happily with the cats. The cat's amber eyes and supple fur gradually soothed the paladin's heart. The paladin Zepas suddenly remembered a way to tease cats that his friend had said, so he did it. He took a ball and gestured to throw it - but before it was actually thrown・・・・・・ the cat ran in the direction he "threw it" and spun around and searched everywhere. The holy warrior Zefas couldn't help but smile slightly as he looked at the cute cat.

Then, his smile froze.

That feeling came again, and he knew that he was falling again.

Well, even if it was a cat, the Paladin could not deceive it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

That kind of method of teasing cats is the anime "Cat Monster Mike" (also known as "Playful Cat") adapted from the works of Japanese manga artist Kobayashi, and, for the full version, I can't find the vampire episode in the next version. It once appeared, in an episode of "The Fugitive", "Kimberly of Ruicha, a veterinarian by profession, ...... on trumped-up charges of killing his wife" What a familiar voice. And, some netizens' posts can also prove that it is indeed possible to tease cats in that way, but the personality of each cat is different and may not take effect.

The paladin in this short story is completely different from the paladin in the long story I wrote. This holy warrior can be considered as a holy warrior in the traditional DND.

Today, March 5th, learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds, I went to donate blood for free, and it was nothing to have some blood, but after donating, I realized that waiting for that place to heal was a little ...... I couldn't use my arm for a short time.
