Chapter 21: The Paladin is a profession

"Yes, that's what my trial story looks like. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Martin concluded his story.

And Liucretia is still immersed in the story, although Martin's narration level is not high, but she still feels Martin's strong belief in the struggle for survival in the wild and harsh nature, and realizes the true objective reality that the "survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest" often mentioned by the Starch Spencer Druid.

"Well, it seems like you like to listen to stories?" Martin said to break the silence.

"Ah, that's right, I like to hear stories. This has been the case since childhood. Now that I think about it, I think one of the reasons why I embarked on the adventure path was influenced by the stories I heard when I was a child. When I was a child, I loved a story called "Six People Go All Over the World". Lyukrixia replied.

"I know that story, too," said Martin, smiling, "and a retired warrior meets a mighty barbarian, a ranger who can accurately hit a fly in the right eye, a priest who casts spells, a windmill that wields, a warrior monk who runs fast, and a warlock who specializes in sculpting magic." Together, they take risks and use their abilities to the fullest, eventually emptying the coffers of a kingdom. ”

"Did you hear this story when you were a kid?" asked Lyukrixia.

"No, my childhood can't be compared to yours, although my adoptive father loved me very much, but the daily toil made him always go to sleep before me. At that time, I thought his snoring was too loud. But now, if I could hear him snoring again, I would give up whatever I had...... I know this fairy tale, I read it later when I was reading a book. It's also a little ridiculous to say, when I was close to adulthood, and I read those fairy tales with relish. Now that I think about it, it's probably a kind of compensation for my childhood. Martin said.

"Is he also an adoptive father? Besides, it looks like he had a bad childhood......" Lyukrixia thought.

Neither of them spoke again, and silence returned to the room. There was only a slight sound of breathing.

After a short time, Martin lifted himself slightly and looked over to Lyukrixia. Although it was pitch black, he could still see with his ears, just as a bat can "see" an insect with his ears. This is a bit of a unique skill of the Starch Spencer Druid.

When he confirmed that Liukrisia was asleep, he immediately got up.

Then, carefully moving his steps, trying to avoid a sound, he walked out the door.

He didn't know that Lyukrisia's movements under the quilt just now - her muscles tensed and her hands began to prepare powerful magic, she was awake and ready for battle after Martin moved.

......

When Martin walked out the door, he saw Canian standing next to him.

"Don't you feel at ease?" Martin greeted.

"Of course, when you're in my place, I'm sure you'll be the same. Canian replied, ignoring Martin's mocking tone.

"Well, I don't know why, I can't sleep, let's go, let's go to your room for a while. Martin began.

Canion's room was next door, literally just a few steps away. Upon entering the room, Canian lit the lamp and beckoned Martin to sit down.

"Just now, I suddenly had a lot of cranky thoughts. Canian said suddenly.

"Oh, you are already tested, you won't be ...... because of this mission" "Not because of this mission," Canian interrupted Martin, "but because of Lyukrisia. ”

"Because of Lyukrixia?" Martin didn't know what Cannian meant.

"Yes, I think, anyone can see that you are interesting to her. Canian continued.

"Well, don't get me wrong, I just want to treat her as a regular friend. ”

“...... You haven't been in contact with many women. Canian asked.

"Yes, that's right...... I didn't have a mother when I was a child, and my adoptive father raised me alone. I don't have any sisters either. I haven't had much contact with other women since then. ”

"You're an inexperienced man. I think I'm going to warn you, be careful of love. Love is what poets have always sung about, but it is also dangerous. It's like wine, it can intoxicate and it can drive people crazy. It can make women kill themselves for it, and it can make men kill for it. For first-time people like you, I think it's better to be cautious. ”

"I understand. ”

"I don't want to say much about that. Tonight, I'll tell you something about Lyuklixia. And some nagging from me, an old palad. ”

Seeing Martin nod, Canian began his story.

"By now, you probably know that I am Liukrisa's father, but I would like to point out that I am not her biological father, I am only her adoptive father. ”

"Adoptive father......" Martin repeated softly.

"I met her by chance during a mission. There are some things that I can't say too much. Just skipped it. Later, I raised her with my wife. My wife is a warrior monk, and she learned her fighting skills from her. And probably under my influence, she became a holy warrior. Probably because of her talent as a warlock, she has shown a tendency to live a different life from others since she was a child. Still, I regret making her a paladin. ”

"Why?" Martin wondered, as he had always been proud of his adopted daughter to be a paladin no matter what.

"Because if she were just a warlock, she could also be an adventurer and dedicate herself to justice, but it would be much easier to do good deeds according to her own preferences and moods. And if you are a paladin, it is a mission to dedicate yourself to justice. In many cases, the paladins were tired. ”

"I know there are paladins who kill people and set fires, but they are very few. After all, the druids are also hostile to nature and destroy the environment. But it depends on the mainstream. As a paladin, it's really not easy. Canian continued, "Sometimes things hurt. For example, what happened to me, when I was a young, not very strong paladin. In one battle, we eliminated the evil mage. While we were basking in the joy of victory, a cry made us turn our heads. ”

"It's the family of the mercenary hired by the evil mage, and their cries. That mercenary is not a bad person. He didn't know the true face of the mage, he was just hired by the mage temporarily. And just like that, he died by our sword. ”

"He died, and his family lost their financial resources. The mercenary's brother has disabled legs and has always relied on the mercenary to support him. The disabled elder brother sits on a chair all day and carves knick-knacks to sell, trying to save his younger brother a little money. He also showed us the gadgets, which were so rough that they couldn't be sold for a few bucks. ”

"The mercenary's wife, a kind woman. At the moment, his eyes were red when he was crying, and he kept muttering and repeating the sentence "What can I do in the future?" The loss of the head of the family hit her too hard. There are also mercenary sons and twin daughters. It's all lovely, and at this moment, the three children know that their father is dead, and will never come back to bring them candy, never kiss them with their beards again, and prick them with itches, and never ...... again They don't realize that their families have also lost their financial resources, and their fate will be bleak in the future. ”

"All we can do is help. But what is the use of money at this moment? Can it make up for the loss of a husband to a wife, the loss of a father to a child, the loss of a brother to a brother, the replacement of the pillar of a family? But that's all we can do, and then we leave. ”

"A few years later, we went back to the city, only to find that the house they lived in had disappeared and a magnificent house had been built on the same site, which of course was not theirs. Their family suffered a fire and lost their house, after which they moved to a slum. We asked around for the whereabouts of the house, and we were finally able to find it. It's miserable, the mercenary's brother, starving to death. Before he died, he dragged his crippled legs and rummaged through the garbage heap for food. ”

The mercenary's wife and daughter fell into the dust. Abuse in inferior brothels. I pretended to be a prostitute and went in and saw the mercenary's daughter. Seeing the innocent and cute little girl in the past, become like that...... She contracted a dirty disease, and it was miserable. The bustard forced them to pick up customers, otherwise they would prick their sensitive parts with red-hot needles, and there were many torture methods......"

"On the one hand, we are trying to get them out, and on the other hand, we are looking for the mercenary's son. He became a thief. By the time we found him, he was dying. He was beaten a few days ago after he missed. He was covered in a foul stench, and maggots had grown. Our pastor couldn't get him back despite all his might. The reason why such a tragic thing happened was because we killed the pillars of their family, and although we gave them money at the time, they quickly spent it due to fires and other blows. ”

"There are many more such things. There was once a kind old man who helped us a lot and asked us to help her carry a letter to her son. And later, when we were crusading against an evil lord, we killed one of the knights' servants, and it was really her son. Later, she erected a monument to her son, which read, 'To the whole world, you are just an ordinary knight, but to me, you are the whole world.' ”

"I have gone to great lengths to save a poor man who had been taken into slavery by the gnolls in a wagon. One of them, however, was a usury merchant, and when he turned around, he forced people to death with usury that was rolling on the back of the year. I've also been hit by mobs before. And so much more...... Therefore, I have always carefully looked at the situation of the mission before deciding not to let Liukrisa participate. Not only is it dangerous, but it's also afraid that her soul will be hurt. Really, it hurts to go through those things. ”

"The Paladin is just a profession after all. We are still human beings. It is impossible to get rid of the limitations of human beings. Hey, is there anyone who thinks differently from ordinary humans just because he is a cook? But after all, profession also changes people's minds. For example, doctors are accustomed to life and death. He was able to eat with peace of mind as soon as he turned over the corpse. And the holy warrior, a profession closely associated with the gods, has an even greater impact on people. Each profession often has its own professionalism, and the professionalism of our paladins ...... Sometimes, we ...... In short, I have some regrets about letting Liukrisa become a holy warrior, although it was her own choice, but in the end, it was also influenced by me......"

In this way, Canion's conversation went on for a long time, and when he finally stopped, Martin suddenly realized, "Hey, you haven't told me much about Lyukrixia." ”

"I've talked about it anyway. Besides, if I hadn't said that at the beginning, would you have listened to me talk about this for so long?" replied Canion.

In the last chapter, I made a very low-level mistake. The difference between the upper hand and the lower wind is a thousand miles. My carelessness......

But few people seem to have noticed...... So I thought that people would definitely not read the novels on the Internet carefully. Isn't it to stop burying easter eggs.

But remembering the last time he pulled people on the forum, he seemed to think it was quite interesting, and pointed out the easter eggs from time to time......

It's been a long time since I've updated, I'm really sorry.

The first two chapters of wild survival or something, no one complained? By the way, I don't know if you have ever seen the GIF picture of eating a big insect popping pulp raw? The man is a well-known survival expert, but after watching a little bit of the show, I think the show is very important. Some things were obviously delicious, but he made a disgusting look. And it's not that difficult to light a fire.

It's a holiday, and when I have free time, I continue to read. Dostoevsky's three books should be fruitful after reading them. I have a love for realism. I don't think fantasy fiction can be separated from realism.

Liang Gong has actually filmed three episodes of August with the same plot...... I don't know how many episodes it will be. We really understand the mood of Moe God......

In the end, I want book reviews, book reviews, book reviews, and book reviews are the motivation for me to update
