Chapter Twenty-Three: Dressette's Speech

After getting rid of the old paladin, Martin let out a long sigh of relief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info although the old holy warrior did not speak vividly. But Martin's imagination was particularly useful at times. I recreate the tragic scenes in my mind, and feel the pain of those who witnessed it. To be honest, it doesn't feel good. So Martin suppressed the clutter in his heart and began to appreciate the beauty of the night.

The dark garden is so peaceful. In the case of a great reduction in vision, the other senses are greatly developed. Martin didn't need to use his abilities to hear a lot of things that he couldn't hear during the day. He could hear the jointing of plants, and even the slight sound of plants rubbing against each other. He also heard the "cooing" of mole crickets. This shy little insect, although it is an underground creature, still does not move until night.

Thinking of the mole cricket, Martin suddenly thought about it and pulled out a magic ring. With a gentle turn, the ring glows softly white. Although Martin has a variety of ways to see at night, the image produced by that method is ultimately not as distinct as what can be seen with the naked eye in the light. He walked slowly to the trunk of the tree, searching for it. Soon, his prey was spotted. He took them off one by one and put them in his bag. The larvae of cicadas are not as delicious as scorpions after being fried in oil, but they are more acceptable to everyone. Although those adventurers can eat anything in a pinch, I am afraid that they still can't accept the people who eat scorpions on a regular basis.

Just as Martin was having fun, he suddenly heard footsteps. Then, he saw a slender figure approaching with light steps.

"What are you busy with at this late hour?" Martin asked.

"What are you doing?" the visitor asked rhetorically.

"This ...... The larvae that caught some cicadas are going to be fried tomorrow and eaten. Martin replied.

"It should be said that it is fried and eaten today, and tomorrow we will embark on the journey. "It's early in the morning, and it's a new day." ”

"Oh, it's so late...... Martin said. "So what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, it's just a walk around. Triste said. "The business is basically taken care of, and the things that need to be prepared are also prepared. ”

"The adventure is about to begin...... I was a little nervous. Martin said.

"Oh, you must have been tried and tested, the practice of the Starch Spencer Druids has always been harsh. I'm sure you're not a novice, so why are you nervous? Is it because this operation is too dangerous?" asked Triste with concern.

"It's not ...... It's because Canion's just said me so many strange things, and he said things that were really too depressing. ”

"I'm curious about this, can you retell that?"

Martin then told Triste about what Cannian had told him, and finally said with emotion, "I'm not worried about any physical damage during the adventure, but if it happens, I probably won't be able to sleep well for many days." ”

"He's always been like that. I told you so much nonsense. "Actually, it's nothing more than a show that the paladin is not a rigid golem with doctrine and desire. as well as in the representation of something else. But if that happens, I advise you not to hesitate too much, after all, a momentary distraction in such a dangerous environment can lead to a tragic end. At that point, you just have to hold on to your beliefs. ”

"Faith?"

"Yes, that's what you're for. As long as you recognize your purpose, there is nothing to worry about. You have to remember what your purpose is. For example, if the first priority is to destroy the enemy, then even if the opponent is tied to the hostage, if the situation is urgent, it is better to kill them together. ”

"What?" Martin could barely believe his ears.

"Of course. Not to boast, I'm well-known among good people. In many cases, the mere presence of me can reinvigorate people's courage. I've slain more than a dozen dragons and taken many world-famous adventures, from the Lich to the Ballow Flame Demon to the Winter Ghost. But I can tell you that I've killed dozens of innocent civilians with a delayed burst fireball in a single one. ”

"That was a long time ago. Triste paused. "You should know about my amazing adventure. Together with others, I accomplished that difficult task. Our final victories include not only an entire family of dark elves, but also two wise red dragons in their prime. It was in that famous adventure that I did that cruel thing. ”

"Do you want to hear that again...... Martin thought to himself, "the mood of the night is ruined." ”

"But what can be done? The evil red dragon has created a magical device that can cause a volcanic eruption. And it's not hard to destroy that device. I've got a powerful spell ready. However, right next to that device, there was a dense circle of hostages. It was all captured by the red dragon, and if I wanted to destroy the device, the explosion would inevitably kill the hostages around me. The red dragon thought that would protect the device that way. Hold us back for a moment, and he can activate the device, and then his plot succeeds, among other things. The eruption alone would have killed thousands of innocent people. ”

"Compared with the two, of course, it is necessary to choose the one with the least loss. It is indeed callous to sacrifice the lives of a few to preserve the lives of the many. It doesn't feel good to have the blood of innocents on your hands. But I had to do that at the time. In that extreme situation, I had to make a choice. Considering that my purpose is to thwart the Red Dragon's plot, I must do so. "Because of the implications, it's been a secret. But if anyone is to blame, I can only say that the people standing on the shore are not qualified to blame the people in the water. ”

"You're definitely good at tabletop adventures, but did you know that aristocrats who never go on adventures often play that?" asked Trist.

"Well, I've heard that some nobles use tabletop adventures as a pastime. However, it is said that most of the male aristocrats who are strong and bold go to play war games to command an army. And those more introverted and quiet male aristocrats will play a role and run around the map for adventure. Martin replied, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"The tabletop adventures of those nobles are just adventures on the table. They don't have to go deep into dark caves or trek through deserts that are warm enough to make poached eggs. They will never understand the suffering of true adventurers. Moreover, their tabletop deductions are just for leisure time or for fun. To do so, adventures on their desktops sacrifice the authenticity and complexity of the world. In fact, it is the same thing as those vulgar chivalric novels, creating an idealized world to please people. Therefore, they will not understand the decision we made in battle. They will only occupy the moral high ground and then judge it wantonly. Take, for example, my move. They can accuse me of not being good enough, but if I don't, they can accuse me of not being decisive enough and not upholding justice. ”

"As for what Canian said to you, I would like to remind you of that. What the holy warriors defend is not justice. "I'll give you an example. When a lord beats up his serf, and a paladin sees it, what will he do? Of course, to stop the lord's behavior, he will intercede for the serf, and he may even buy the serf and take it away. Behold, this holy knight was kind enough to save the serfs, and did not disrupt the order. That serf, I'm afraid, is also very grateful. At first glance, it's really good. But I would like to point out why a lord could do to that serf as he pleased, and who gave the lord that power? Isn't this serfdom all evil? But don't you want to see the holy warriors lead the serfs to rise up and bring down that lord, don't think about it!"

"The paladins said that they obeyed the will of God. But," Triste was even a little agitated, "can they really hear the voice of God with their own ears? All they can do is study the doctrine." And are those doctrines really entirely made by God? Even if they are God-ordained, who sometimes explains them? Not the priests, the priests. But who provided for the priests? Have you ever seen bread fall from heaven for the priests to eat? The priests were not provided for by the nobles. Therefore, the morality of the nobles eventually affected the holy warriors, who claimed to be the pure servants of the gods. ”

"I know you are a Starch Spencer Druid, perhaps much less influenced by the morals laid down by the nobles. But you have to understand that you are also subtly affected. We are forever bound by the times, the so-called limitations of history. Tracer seemed to think she was a little too off-topic, and finally a big twist came to an end, "Maybe I shouldn't have told you that." But I think, as Ernest's apprentice, I need to tell you this. From what I know so far, he doesn't seem to give you that education. ”

"He tried to tell me, but I refused. I've always been trying to improve my skills, and I haven't thought too much about it. Martin replied.

"This is not good, you must know, if a man does not know which port he is heading to, then no wind can please him," replied Trace.

This sentence is indeed very philosophical. Martin thought so, and it really fits my current situation.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— guys, since the summer vacation, I've been sitting in front of my computer for more than 8 hours almost every day。 What have I done? What have I learned? No! Time has passed in vain!

I know I'm slow to update, and I know that I've written this chapter in dissociation. This chapter is something I slowly squeezed out, and it can only be like this.

I still want book reviews, book reviews, and there is no motivation without book reviews. It's good to have some thoughts on the plot.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Korean fantasy novel "Dragons" is highly recommended. I don't have one of the best DND-related novels I've ever seen. Books such as Dragon Lance and Dark Elves are far inferior to "Dragons". The comment on "Dragon Family" on the forum was, "I can't believe that it was written by Koreans." "The important contribution of the stick to human culture" "Li Rongdao belongs to the people who single-handedly elevate the level of one of the genres of fiction in his country. ”

Phew, Dragon 2 is also out, I plan to save up and watch it again, but it was spoiled.

So, I'll spoil the rest of this novel. MARTIN WOULD RUN TO THE NORTH, AND HE WOULD RUN INTO THE DARK ELF LOLI OR SOMETHING.
