In the midst of a mocking gaze, the newly successful "tasting challenger" counted the disaster coins in his hand. Unlike what everyone imagined, he didn't immediately go to the bar and call for a glass of wine to enjoy, but took the money bag and walked straight out of the real fragrance wine shop.

"The cost of treatment is here, please take an inventory. Arriving at the center of the town, where a wartime medical camp had developed into a hospital-like site, he found the caster who was responsible for casting a repair spell to treat the wounded, and handed over the disaster coins he had exchanged for his life.

The spellcaster physician didn't count as carefully as he had before, but just flipped the purse with his hand and took it into his arms. Then, calmly pulling out the materials needed to cast the spell from the various cloth pockets he carried with him, he cast the "Remove the Curse" spell on a young injured patient.

"This ranger was affected by the rules of this abyss while he was on patrol, and his body was parasitic with acid mist worms. You also know that this friend of yours was unconscious when you sent him here. The money just now was only enough to pay off the cost of the operation to remove a few acid mist worms for him. In order to eradicate the influence of the Abyss Rules, I just cast a Removal Curse on him, and you will need to raise twice the cost of the Scourge Coins, and I will only be able to heal him after I receive the money. After saying these words, the spellcaster doctor stopped paying attention to the strong man with a stubble in front of him, and walked towards the next injured person who came to pay the fee without looking back.

And the object of his conversation just now looked at the young ranger lying on the small couch, and then bent his slightly numb palm—the viper's hemostasis did not have any effect on him, but in order to save people, he had to earn that deadly money.

Turning to leave, he was ready to try his luck at the real wine shop again. But before he could move a few steps, he was blocked by a palm in his path.

"You're a paladin. With the blocker's words, a powerful healing spell hit the ranger's wounded on the couch in the corner of the room.

As he struggled to open his eyes, which were clogged with dirt, Jensen recognized that it was the boy who had fought alongside him - the commander of Batow's Fortress, a dragon.

That's right, this wine putty who has been wandering in the liquor shop for nearly two years is the holy warrior Jensen, who showed his might in the fortress "Endgame" and broke out of the body of the worm tyrant.

It's just that after unsealing the "Proverb of Silence" and bursting out with great strength, he did violate the creed of the god of "justice and law". Since the great retreat at Fortress Bartow, Jensen has never heard the teachings of the gods he worships in his heart. Out of regret that he had not yet completed his revenge, coupled with regret that he finally chose to flee instead of fighting to the end, his will continued to be depressed, and he could only rely on alcohol to anesthetize himself all day long.

It wasn't until he met a young ranger with the longbow who had fallen on the ground and had several encounters with him, whom he had known as "Patton the Kid" by Old Poleton, the broomeyebrow, that the former paladin regained his spirits. In order to save his life, he had to raise money for the young man's medical treatment in a non-wartime medical camp.

He didn't have to be like this before, the holy power of the holy warrior was able to effectively restrain most evil curses, and he only needed to give up some of his past to heal this ranger who was cursed by the parasitic curse of the acid mist worm. Jensen was well aware that his god was now refusing to respond to him, and that was why he had been languishing. In desperation, I had to go to the real fragrance wine shop to participate in the tasting and gambling, and gambled for the young man's life-saving money.

Looking at the ranger who began to cough slightly after being hit by the powerful healing technique—consciousness had begun to clear, and was removing the last remnants of the cursed power from his body, Jensen gave him a grateful look at the young blue dragon who stood in front of him. It's just that when his words came to his lips, they became: "I'm no longer a holy warrior." With that, he wanted to bypass Quest's block and go straight away.

"Did the paladin come first or the gods first?" Quest didn't try to keep Jensen, who wanted to leave, but just turned his back to him and asked the question.

Not long ago, while waiting for Ogre Blue to pack up his belongings before his return and take stock of his harvest from the Acid Mist Canyon plane, Quest and his friends saw Jensen's participation in the tasting in the mirror crystal used to monitor the internal business of the True Fragrance Wine Shop. The young blue dragon recognized at a glance the powerful paladin who had fought alongside him, but his current decadent appearance really couldn't overlap with the heroic posture that he remembered in the demon army.

Driven by curiosity, he quietly followed Jensen, who walked out of the real wine store with his money bag, and only then did he stop him from leaving and directly help. Having obtained the inheritance of the sage of the Gies, Quis could easily discern people's hearts. He could easily feel the shackles that haunted Jensen's heart—regret that he could not firmly complete his revenge, regret that the gods had forsaken him, and even in this case, he was willing to fight for his life for someone who had little to do with him.

Quest asked himself if he would never be able to do what Jensen was like when he was hit by the same blow. This mighty warrior is now in a period of low will, but he still has what he has to hold on to. This kind of thing is not unique in the entire multiverse, but it is also a scarce item, and scarcity is precisely one of the important prerequisites for the value of a thing. Due to the nature of the dragon - the penchant for collecting "valuable" items, the young blue dragon decided that he could not let the beautiful jade be dusted and wanted to help. Well, it's not a betrayal of the evil camp of order. For valuable things, "there is no mistake to kill", this is what the old dragon Salotta taught all the descendants of the blue dragon in the dragon's lair. Quies secretly did a mental construction for himself.

Because the young blue dragon's words contained a trace of psychic ability, it was easy to stir up the mood of the former holy warrior. As he strode out, Jensen jerked back to look at the young dragon, who could no longer be at the mercy of the gods, but could not tolerate the slightest blasphemy.

It's just that Quis, who also turned his head and looked at him, still said in a calm tone: "Obviously, the answer to the question is not too difficult to come by, after all, it is not like a question of chicken or egg. The history of the Paladin profession far exceeds that of most existing gods, and in fact many of them were themselves paladins themselves before ascending to the throne. ”

Although Jensen had the heart to refute these words, after thinking about it, he found that it was indeed an indisputable fact. Even during the training before becoming a holy warrior, the senior masters of the holy warriors who taught them about the faith had pointed out similar words in the scriptures for themselves to memorize.

"I apologize to you if some of the previous words made you feel unpleasant. I promise that what I know about the Paladins is just what I know, and you shouldn't object to that," Quest, aided by his psychic abilities, snuffed out Jensen's attempt to organize some dissent. The young blue dragon continued to follow the path with a topic that was easier for him to accept: "I saw the viper you drank to stop the bleeding, if you don't admit that you are still a paladin, it can't explain the fact that you are not harmed after drinking the poisoned wine. You don't know, but in fact, the bone demon bartender deliberately dripped some of the venom from his tail thorn into the cup when he added crushed ice to the two cups of poisoned wine. That is not a poison that ordinary holy warriors can withstand, and you are only slightly paralyzed, unless you have some kind of direct bloodline of a powerful celestial creature within three generations, there is only one possibility - the holy power that can bring a special physique far beyond mortals to the holy warrior has not abandoned you at all, and this undetected power hidden in your body has not been exhausted, but far surpasses the ordinary holy warrior peers!"

Quesi's words were like Huang Zhong Dalu, which directly shocked Jensen. Even he didn't realize it, his mind was already closely following the words of the young blue dragon in front of him: "But I really can't hear the teachings of the god of justice and law in my heart......?"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Quis, who had completely mastered the rhythm of the conversation, preemptively said: "The holy power of the holy warrior really needs the guidance of the gods, but it is not directly obtained from the gods, where does the holy power of those gods with the professional level of the holy warrior come from? According to the knowledge inheritance of the dragon race, the holy power is actually a direct gift from the basic rules of the multiverse, the rules of goodness, after practicing the act of worshipping goodness. Not only justice and law, but as long as you persist in practicing a series of noble deeds such as humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, and sacrifice, you will receive the gift of holy power. Sacred power is the foundation for the formation of holy warriors, and whether or not they respect good thoughts is the standard for judging whether they are derelict in their duties. ”

Seeing the light of hope shining in Jensen's originally cloudy pupils, Quest struck while it was hot: "You can't listen to the teachings of the gods you worship, it's true that the being has temporarily blocked your pity, but that doesn't mean you're not a paladin. The thought of goodness is still in the depths of your soul, your hands are still able to wield the sword of goodness, and the holy power is always with you. The temporary shielding of the gods is just a test, all you have to do is stick to your path and wait patiently. So ......"

As he spoke, Quis took out a contract scroll from his bosom that had been prepared long ago: "Gratitude is one of the standards of behavior for holy warriors, and I helped you practice kindness just now. According to the cost that the doctor just said, and since the spells I use are much more advanced than he can use, you owe me some more Calamity Coins. Considering your current ability to repay, we still sign an employment contract and pay for your work. Rest assured, I won't let you do something that goes against the principle, and after paying off the debt, if the contract is renewed, the treatment will be favorable. I know you can use some of the Creation Word that you can recite in that language when you sign this contract, to check if I'm lying. ”

Jensen, who was a little embarrassed by the philistine face of the young man in front of him after the sudden 180-degree turn, signed this labor employment contract with a little reluctance. It's just that I don't know how a certain half-lich who has had a similar experience with him before, and who has also signed a "labor employment contract" before, which is actually a "deed of sale", should feel after learning that this contract exists.
