Two years ago, Joren was tasked to go south to help develop the ruins, which were ravaged by undead creatures that had been excavated this year, and it was rumored in the nearby village that there was a story of a paladin who did not know how to advance or retreat. And they also found the relics of the ancient paladin, the long sword that preserved the soul of the paladin. Even when the paladin died, he still shined in the tomb to dispel the spirits, which moved Joron so much that he even took a large part of his reward.

The sword is hers now.

Now that the mission is finally complete, she is on her way back to the Northlands.

In order to share his joy with more people, Jolen has disbanded 10 bandits, relieved 7 villages, mediated 3 family disputes, and fought off countless monsters along the way.

So she finally ...... There is no money.

Whether it is to make the robbers good or to help the villagers or to do charity, nothing can be done without money, and it is meaningless to have just one mouth. Joren knew that not everyone could do good in their own hearts, and she had already learned to guide them with utilitarianism.

As a result, Jolen, who didn't even care about half of the journey, had no choice but to look for wild fruits to live.

This happened when she came, when she was too hungry to pick wild mushrooms in the woods to eat, but she got food poisoning not long after eating. It took her a lot of talent to get rid of the effects of food poisoning at that time.

Until now, Jolen has been able to survive in the wild with ease.

Using ropes, discerning directions, setting up tents, lighting fires in the wild, purifying fresh water, identifying mushrooms, cooking food, and curing diseases, the Joren Paladins are now so skilled in survival that they are half a natural profession, and these are all taught to her by the druid's cats.

But then again, today's Antinomi seems a little different than usual?

The druid's cat looked at the north stupidly, and then kept muttering something, and kept jumping up and down. After a while, Antinomi lay lazily on the ground, as if he had sucked the wood of the heavenly knotweed.

"Antinomi, are you alright?"

Jolen who felt that Antinomi was not in an abnormal state asked with concern.

『Meow~』

"Antinomi?"

"It's nothing, I just think the moon is pretty beautiful today. 』

The moon looks good enough to make a cat like that? This kind of rotten excuse would not even be believed by a simple paladin.

"Yes, but I always think the moon is rounder in the Northlands, and the moonlight seems to be worse everywhere else. ”

But Jolen had successfully abducted himself by himself.

"That's just your delusion. The Moon at the North and South Poles is the smallest, and the closer you are to the equator, the closer you are to the Moon and the larger the Moon will be. 』

"I just think the moon in my hometown looks better...... Although the living conditions in the south are better, I still prefer the northland, where I was born and raised. The most important thing is that I can easily find people in need there, and that's where I come into play. ”

If Jolen had to choose between the comfortable South and the harsh Northland, she would undoubtedly choose the Northland, and only the place where she could play with light and heat would be her first choice.

"Then why don't you go to the bottomless abyss, the abyss is full of demons and demons, arguably the worst place, where your power can definitely reach its highest. 』

The Bottomless Abyss is one of the lower planes, the abode and paradise of pure evil creatures such as demons and demons, and one of the main battlefields of the "bloody war" between demons and demons that has lasted for countless years. It stands to reason that in places where evil is everywhere, the role that the holy warriors can play is indeed not small, and any action is directly weakening the power of evil, but that is tantamount to suicide. The Outer Realm is not a mortal territory like the main material plane, but a base for the bigwigs of all parties, and jumping at will can only attract their attention and then be destroyed.

"Hmm......"

It's funny that Jolen actually began to think about this possibility, and she stared into the distance with her hands on her cheeks and began to think. Antinomie, on the other hand, continued to lie lazily on the ground, feeling some kind of intoxicating fluctuation coming from the north.

"I think you have a point, the bottomless abyss is the front line in the fight against evil. ”

After a long time, Jolen first came to his senses and announced in a very positive tone.

"So I decided that when I became a good enough paladin, I would be ready to go to the bottomless abyss and devote myself to the front line of the fight against evil. ”

"Huh, are you sure you really want to die like this? You're very strong, yes, your melee ability is straight after the happy encounter after the beast, but the abyss is not a place where all encounters can be solved by hand-to-hand combat alone. If you don't know how to do it, you won't be able to move an inch there. 』

To put it nicely, a pure kitchen knife like a holy warrior who can only cast a little bit of spell ability will be very sad after going to the abyss, and to put it mildly, this is death.

After being controlled by someone with a random spell, long-range consumption is the most likely way for the paladin to die.

"Don't underestimate me, of course I'll get enough like-minded companions before I go. And no matter what the difficulty is, it must be a test given to me by my Lord, and if I am firm enough, I will definitely be able to overcome it. ”

『...... Then I think your Lord may be angry with my Lord. 』

“？”

"Nothing, nothing. 』

It was only then that Jolen remembered his original question.

"Wait a minute, I was trying to ask you what happened just now, the cat definitely didn't see the reaction after the full moon like if it had sucked Mu Tianli. ”

"I just felt the power of my master, and I couldn't stand that. 』

I can feel that he's a nice guy, but it's a little bit elusive. Can he be far away in the Northlands and can do that to you?"

Hearing Jolen's question, Antinomi visibly hesitated for a moment whether to say it. But in the past two years, it has a fairly good relationship with Qiao Lun, and Qiao Lun takes care of it very much at all times, so that it also has a good impression of this holy warrior. So it decided to say a little bit about irrelevant.

"Ha, usually that stupid person is not my master, but the tiger sleeping inside him is. But because of the contract, I have to obey his orders......

"The tiger sleeping inside him?"

"If the books that I usually read are not apocryphal, there should be a white tiger soul in him, and it is precisely because of the curse of that soul that he is a beast. The soul inside him was what really fascinated me. 』

"I don't really understand...... Didn't the beast man come into being because of the curse of an ancient fallen god? and he would be sad to know that you thought so. ”

Listening to Joron's words, Antinomi shook his head.

"That's a story from the past that has nothing to do with this world, and I don't know very well. And he won't be sad, it's a dog to meet happily. By the way, he is still a spicy party. 』

“？？？”
