If faith is also a need, then it must also follow the basic principle of need: what people need most will give priority to which god to believe in. The largest temple in Soft Maple City is the human abode of the god of courage, Heronis.

Standing on the square at the top of the protruding promontory temple, you can overlook the entire city of Soft Maple City. As Heyronis taught, "Always ready to take substantive action", the temple was manned by at least 50 paladins throughout the year.

So when the deafening cannon roared and the city of Soft Maple was bombarded, the paladins immediately picked up their weapons and equipment, mounted their blessed celestial blood horses, and galloped from the temple to the mayor's residence.

The leader was a tall, bronzed-skinned, long-terracotta man, with amber pupils, and a half-length plate armor on horseback, a sword strapped around his waist, and a banner symbolizing the Temple of Heyronis.

"Captain Dalton," the scout who went to spy on the situation in the city, squirred for information, and then came back to his life, "it seems that the location of the cannon is near the harbor breakwater, and there are no injuries or damage to property other than the mayor's mansion at the moment. ”

Hearing this, the captain of the paladin who led the team nodded, and ordered the other team members in a sonorous voice: "Honor is the greatest reward for destroying evil, and virtue is the principle of the Way of Heyronis. Wherever we are most needed, we will plant the banner of the 'Electrified Hand'. Now, let's all go to the Mayor's Mansion first!"

"For the glory of Heyronis!"

"Hands with electricity, never afraid!"

......

With the shouting of the Holy Name, a white halo lingered on all the paladins and their mounts, a sign of the gods' approval of their actions. With the blessings of the Holy Force, their energy will become more abundant and their bodies will become less likely to feel tired.

The horse's hooves rained down, knocking on the ground with a "da, da, da" sound. Through the streets, the paladins rushed to the mayor's residence, which had been shelled not long ago. It's just that there is no such thing as a knife in their imagination, only a few mercenary-looking people standing at the gate smoking and farting, like ordinary street gangsters.

"What about the attackers?"

Dalton leapt from his horse, drew his sword from its scabbard with a thud, and walked straight to the mercenaries.

"Calm down, Heronis warriors from the Temple. ”

Seeing the paladin coming with a long sword, one of the mercenaries immediately stepped out, put his hands on his chest and made a gesture similar to refusal, telling Dalton to stop them from being so impulsive, "It's good inside, at least there is no problem now." Just now a big businessman was showing off his new weapons to the mayor warriors, and now, they're waiting for you inside. ”

Without the use of "Detection Camp" and "Detection of Lies", it would have been easy to meet a few rotten people in this foul city. Dalton was afraid that after seeing a few big red names, he couldn't help but put the long sword directly into the other party's stomach.

"Lead the way, and we're going to personally confirm the mayor's situation. He said coldly. Rather than talking to these mercenaries, Dalton prefers to use his own eyes to verify the truth of the incident. If the other party is lying, or is complicit in the evil people, then the paladin he brings will naturally use the weapons in his hand to solve the problem.

The mansion was not too big, and after bypassing the two corridors, they came to the reception hall of the mayor. As soon as he entered, Dalton saw several orc guards. Although most of these creatures have nothing to do with kindness and orderliness, but for the sake of the face that they don't have any weapons in their hands, Dalton didn't have a seizure, but just kept the paladins under his command vigilant.

"Dear little Dalton," the mayor who was sitting in his seat immediately stood up when he saw the leading paladin walk in, and then looked at Quest who was sitting on the side very enthusiastically, "This is Mr. Quest from the Scales Chamber of Commerce of the Eternal Order, we have just negotiated a big deal to procure food for weapons in Soft Maple City. And now that you're here, we'll be able to get to the point. ”

"Straight to the point?"

"That's right," without waiting for the mayor to answer, Quest glanced at the paladin who walked in, and said with a smile, "Now we have to talk about serious matters that are closely related to the fate of all human beings in Ramsay, and the safety of the lives and property of the inhabitants of Soft Maple City." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Fezak, who was standing behind him, came over with a wooden box and gently placed it on the ground. Facing the paladin who came to him, he slowly opened the lid of the box. Seeing this move, Dalton's body had already ignited a shield composed of holy power. But when he saw the contents of the wooden box, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Where did you get the monster's head, and how did this raven man get to the city?"

Facing the son of the old man—it's a bit strange to say that, after all, in terms of age, little Dalton is actually much older than Queth—Quest patiently introduced, "The mayor has just said that we are the Scales of the Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce. But that's just a side hustle for us, and our job is actually to be a grave keeper.

It's an organization with a very long history, so old that there is no record of it in the history books today. And the content of our job is to ensure that the emperor, his wife, and their ten eons will not crawl out of the grave.

However, due to the negligence of some of his companions, a raider named 'Soul Hunter' was found by the monsters, who dug him up and resurrected him.

Now, they are trying to dig out the graves of other robbers, emperors, and wives. This Raven Man is the undercover agent they sent to Soft Maple City, and his disguise is the thief Charron.

We've traced his whereabouts, targeted his killings, and we've figured out his purpose in Soft Maple: to find the Emperor's Tomb sealed beneath the Temple of Heyronis, and to steal his coffin out.

So, I've been waiting for you Heyronis warriors to arrive. Because I sincerely hope that I can work with you to kick back those old monsters that crawled out of the grave. ”

Looking at the paladin Dalton, who was lost in thought, Quis continued, "I have reached an agreement with Mr. Mayor that he is willing to support our cause," he glanced at the mayor, who nodded desperately, "Now, I need to talk to you." But before I do that, allow me to return a thing that I have obtained from other sources to its true owner. ”

As he spoke, Quest took out another wooden box from his robe. Compared to the one just now, this box is very small, and it doesn't seem to hold anything inside. But the moment Quis took it out, all the paladins present let out a soft cry - there was a layer of divine power attached to this box that they felt very familiar, and they could feel that this power was even purer than the gift that Hironis had given them.

Seeing that Quis handed the box to him, the holy warrior Dalton hurriedly stretched out his hands and respectfully took it.

"Infuse it with holy power, and you can break the seal on the box. ”

As he said, just after he had separated a trace of his holy power and poured it into the wooden box. The lock on the top of the box opened automatically with a "click", and when the lid was lifted, Dalton saw what was inside.

A bloodstained, crumpled hat sat inside.

"The man who entrusted this box to me is, like you, a powerful paladin. He told me, "Your father saved his life." The great power of goodness and orderliness will not give up on saving every lost soul. ”
