Chapter 5: The Assassins
"O Divine Goddess of Mercy, please accept my devout reverence, and under Your protection, may the Divine Light always be with me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Sarion finished his kneeling prayer and slowly stood up as he looked up at the statue of the goddess.
Although he is a knight cadet with a fairly low force index, he is definitely a loyal believer, which can be seen from his visit to the statue of the Holy Goddess, so focused, so pious, he also longs to one day get the light in response and become a paladin respected by everyone!
Knight cadets can be promoted to trainee knights through hard work, and they can also be promoted to knights in the future, but it is not so easy for knights to be promoted to paladins. The difference between the two is not in force, but in faith, the so-called paladin, refers to the knight who has been responded to by the god of light, the paladin can generate various powers through the holy light, in order to enhance his own ability of a certain type, the senior paladin can produce blessings through the holy light, can affect the surrounding comrades-in-arms, where the halo is shrouded, everyone is protected by the gods, so, the paladin is a banner of morale in a team, and he is also a natural captain. However, among the many knights, there are only a handful of people who can be blessed by the Holy Light to become paladins.
If a knight wants to become a paladin, he must not only rely on his sincere faith, but also have strong faith. However, the criteria for the Holy Light to choose his own servants have always been elusive to the world, and even if they have faith and conviction, they may not be able to get a response from the Holy Light! The accepted principle of the mainland is absolute loyalty to faith and strong force, which is currently known to be the best way to promote from knight to paladin. Piety is the first creed of knights, because even if they can't get a response from the Holy Light, as their loyal believers, they still have the protection of the Holy Light in battle, followed by horsemanship, even if they can't become a paladin, relying on the charging power of horses and the giant riding spear, it is still a combat power that cannot be underestimated.
But the knight's strengths are also his weaknesses. If you want to become a paladin, you must spend a lot of time meditating in order to understand the meaning of the Holy Light as soon as possible, and get a response from the gods, which leads to the development of force that cannot be fully concentrated. If you have too little time to meditate, or if you are not religious, you will receive little protection from the Holy Light in battle, and it will hardly be of any use. And the knights who rely on war horses and spears, once they are under the horse, the spear is difficult to play, although the knight will also use the horse combat skills of the sword and shield in his hand, but compared with the warrior who is also a plate armor, it is too much worse! With such a constraint, the knight does not have the slightest numerical advantage over other professions on the mainland.
Rain Ruth walked up to Sarion, who was slowly standing up, and showed a smile that was more knowing than usual, "Sarion, strengthen your faith, one day, you will be kind to you after all, the Holy Light will respond!"
"Oh, yes, I hope that day!" said Sarion, scratching the back of his head. "Oh yes, sister, let's go to a crowded place, there are assassins coming in, although this is the temple of the goddess, but after all, there are only two of us, if the enemy does not taboo to offend the majesty of the goddess, then we are still very dangerous. ”
Saarion's worries are not unreasonable, Merdes City Academy County is a military county of the Mandis Kingdom's reserve talents, with strict guards, and there are many masters in the teaching area, every instructor and teacher, and even the guards are elites with high combat power, and the enemies who dare to break into here at night must also have quite confident strength. Moreover, there are gods on the continent who are hostile to the Holy Light, and their followers will not care at all whether they have blasphemed the Holy Light.
"Okay, don't worry too much, it's just right, my prayer for today is also done, let's go!" said Yusilu, holding Saarion's arm, ready to walk out. At this moment, the open door of the temple was "touched" and slammed shut, and a dark figure was standing in front of the closed door.
"You can't go anywhere!" the voice was full of hostility and murder, and there was no doubt that the person who said this was the Assassin of the Black Shadow.
Suddenly stunned, the fear became a reality, the assassin really appeared in front of them, Sarion, who had first contact with the enemy, suddenly felt a little nervous, but at the same time he also knew that now was not the time to be nervous, "You actually entered the temple with a weapon, are you not afraid of blaspheming the goddess?" Sarion wanted to rely on a loud tone to hide his nervousness.
"Hahahaha" the assassin laughed disdainfully, and it was a woman as could be seen in his voice. "Say that I am blasphemous, you are pulling and pulling in the so-called temple, not more blasphemous than me"
The two of them remembered that at this time, Rain Ruth's hand was holding Sarion's arm.
"Sorry for disturbing the young couple's private meeting!" the Assassin said, confidently approaching them. "I'm afraid your happy time is coming to an end here!"
Sarion took a step forward, blocked Rain Ruth behind him, and whispered, "With me, sister don't be afraid!"
"Well, I'm not afraid!" Rain Ruth did not immediately withdraw the hand holding Dilion's arm, but slowly withdrew her hand!
"What the hell do you want to do? we're just ordinary students, we don't have the mission you want!" Sarion hoped that through the conversation, he could delay a little so that someone could find out what was wrong in the temple.
"What do you want to do? I want your lives. With that, the Assassin had stepped out of the shadows, and the distance had narrowed, allowing Sarion to see the enemy's appearance more clearly. Wearing a black assassin hat, his hair and face were obscured, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes. The whole body is covered with black leather armor, and the tight-fitting effect perfectly shows the figure of the assassin woman, with exquisite curves, slender legs, slender waist, and proud ****.
However, Saarion was not in the mood to pay attention to these at this time, and the assassin held a one-handed sword in each hand, and slowly walked towards him, and the cold light on the blade of the sword told Saarion that danger was approaching.
"Whoever you are, wipe my weapons with your blood tonight. ”
"Damn, you don't look down on people anymore" After speaking, Sarion swung his fist and rushed towards the assassin, since he was planning to visit his sister at the temple when he set off, and the temple is not allowed to enter with sharp weapons, so Sarion, who does not have any weapons, can only meet the enemy with his fists at this time.
The assassin easily dodged this heavy blow from Sarion, and the poor incompetent knight with a low force index was simply a fist and a leg in front of the assassin who broke into the military county at night, and the combat effectiveness was too far apart. The Assassin didn't seem to have any intention of playing a game with Sarion, and as he dodged, he slashed his sword through Sarion's chest!
