Chapter 10: Midnight Attack
"Boy, how can you say that I saved your life just now, and you won't say thank you?"
"I knew that guy was behind me, and he wouldn't be able to hurt me if you didn't come!"
"Hey, you're still stubborn......"
"Thank you. ”
Andrew smirked, and Jerry pursed his lips, a pair of eyes with crazy excitement hidden.
He finally agreed to Andrew's "invitation" and decided to join the other party's team. The reason is that the other party said those two sentences, or two words.
Temple!
Saint!
Priesthood is a profession unique to the temple, and only the temple can make a person a priest.
So as long as Jerry also targets the Priest, he will still need to go to the Temple in the end, and that is the only way.
And the reason why he decided to participate in the warrior audition was not only because he needed a temporary settlement, but also because he learned that warriors also had the opportunity to enter the temple. Even if you can advance to the top of the warrior line, you will inevitably be associated with the temple.
Only by giving him the opportunity to enter the temple did he feel that he had the hope of obtaining a way to become a priest, and anyway, what he longed for most was not the status of a priest, but the kind of power that transcended the mundane.
However, this route is too tortuous and long, and the hope of success in the end is infinitely close to nothing.
But now, the already slim and near-dead hope has reappeared, and the Andrew in front of him is actually a Templar, and a high-level Templar Warrior who follows the Holy Maiden. As long as he agrees, he will be able to take himself up to the Holy Mountain and enter the Temple of Light!
Faced with renewed hope, Jerry decisively accepted the invitation, and when he returned to the Temple of Light, he would join the Paladin's legion, the Reserve.
Despite being just a reserve, and even the lowest status group in the temple, Jerry felt extremely satisfied.
He didn't care if he was a reserve or not, he only knew that this would be much faster than a little effort from the Warrior Guild, and with the Holy Maiden who didn't know the name yet, his chances of getting the priest method were also multiplied countless times.
With the possibility of his dream coming true again, what is he not satisfied with?
As for the embarrassment of refusing before and agreeing when I heard that the other party was very big...... Embarrassing is embarrassing, people who are not thick-skinned will starve to death in the end!
A good attitude has always been Jerry's strength, I didn't see him being chased away by the Warrior Guild not long ago, and now he is here again, but he is not at all outside. When the guards saluted Andrew, he waved at them.
Walking into the Warrior Guild, Andrew's expression was still so gentle, but Jerry was keenly aware that his temperament had changed. It was a thick breath that made people feel pressure at first sight, the breath of a strong man.
"What kind of strength is he?"
The person with the highest identity and the strongest Jerry had met before this was undoubtedly Stuart, who identified him as the Forsaken. But now Jerry suddenly felt that even that person was still a little worse than Andrew.
No, maybe it's not just a little worse, it's just the difference between cloud and mud. It's an inexplicable intuition, but that's what Jerry thinks, and Andrew seems to be far stronger than he can guess.
Soon someone came to pick him up, and sending a reservist over was a trivial matter, and Andrew didn't need to arrange it personally.
But before handing over Jerry to the ordinary Guardian Warriors, Andrew told him some things he had to know, including that Her Highness would not wait until the end of the Divine Audition, but would leave Nick City tomorrow and return to the Temple of Light.
Jerry was both happy and worried about the news.
As a reservist, he definitely needs to go to the temple with the team. It was certainly a good thing for him to be able to get to that sacred place faster.
However, in this way, he would not be able to wait for the final results of the divine selection to come out, and he would not have time to meet with his friends in the Blue Village.
We can't see each other again at this time, will there be a chance to meet again in the future? Jerry's heart is also bottomless.
And even if they are seen again in the future, their identities will inevitably be different from those now, what will they be like then, and even whether there will be anyone who will never appear...... These are all things that make people feel emotional when they think about it.
Following the Escort to the place where he had been placed, Jerry met with the other members of the Reserve. Perhaps it is the unknown life that gives them great pressure, and most of these people seem to be more depressed and don't talk much.
However, there are exceptions, such as the teenager who is greeting Jerry, his name is Tony, he is only twelve years old this year, and he is still an orphan.
"Where are you from?" the boy asked, blinking.
"What about you, Bluevillage?" Jerry replied casually as he made his bed, and he actually felt a little strange.
This little Tony's background is quite miserable, not to mention losing his parents since he was a child, and he has always been unhealthy, and he looks so thin that a gust of wind can blow him down.
In fact, the other people here are similar, and there is no such thing as the kind of guy he imagined, with big shoulders and round waist, and he is fierce at first glance.
After chatting with little Tony, Jerry's face was almost green.
These are the Paladin Legion reservists who seem to represent glory and glory as Andrew said...... It was clearly picked up by that guy at random.
Little Tony was poured a sip of water by Andrew when he fainted from hunger, and then brought it all the way back.
Daniel, who was sleeping and had a bandage around his head, was beaten up when he was stealing food from someone on the street, just as Her Highness the Holy Maiden was passing by......
and Carlos, a young man with a straight face who seemed to owe him money all over the world, and this one had a very good life until a sudden fire broke out in his house......
The more Jerry listened, the more he broke out in a cold sweat, and he could already see it.
These people have been carefully selected and carefully screened, but I am afraid that it is the Holy Highness or Andrew who at some point is kind, and they have taken in the most pitiful fellows they think are the most pitiful.
The thought that these men would form a paladin legion under the command of the Holy Maiden, and that his fate would be tied to them, Jerry felt that his future was bleak.
The day passed in a blink of an eye, and the next day was not yet fully bright, and Jerry and the others were called up.
The journey to the Temple of Light is finally about to begin.
Although they have not yet become members of the reserves, they have all received their own uniforms.
This is a kind of light armor that is far more important than the significance of actual combat, in other words, it is a kind of goods, Jerry Zhan didn't even dare to breathe in the atmosphere, for fear that he would accidentally break the armor.
To his disappointment, he had not been able to see what Her Highness looked like until the party had set off, and the other party had been sitting in a heavily guarded luxury carriage.
And although they did not have to follow on foot, the vehicles they were in were still separated by a large distance.
It took Jerry and the others a full ten days to get from Blue Village to Nick City, but now the speed is much faster than then, and after only two days, they have already covered half the same distance.
It seemed that in two days at most, they would be able to reach the Holy Mountain and enter the Temple of Light, which made Jerry's heart feel a little excited, and the loss of his previous defeat was completely left behind him.
Probably because Her Highness concealed her identity, the first two days were peaceful, and no one bothered them.
But late at night on the fourth day, the reservists were taking turns to assist the guards on duty, when a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived.
The first to encounter Jerry and the young warrior named Adam pushed Jerry back before he noticed anything, shouting, "Who?"
Whoosh -
No one answered in the darkness of the night, but there was a more direct answer than words, a crossbow arrow so fast that it was almost invisible, and it shot at Adam in the blink of an eye.
Adam did not panic in the slightest, and the long sword in his hand quickly crossed his chest, and he actually blocked the crossbow arrow with the spine of the sword.
But at the same time, three black shadows burst out of the darkness in front of him at the same time, and one of them emitted a faint fluorescence, which was amazingly-fighting spirit!
Jerry was right behind Adam, his eyes widened when he saw this, he knew that there was such a thing as fighting spirit, which was the source of the strength of the warriors.
However, it is not necessary to become a warrior to use Dou Qi, and there are six levels that vary greatly from the first-level warrior selected by Tongguò to the divine defender.
Even the top sixth-level warriors among them can't directly use Dou Qi as a weapon, but can only be blessed on their bodies or equipment to increase the strength of attack and defense.
Although the brilliance of the fighting spirit of the person in front of him is very faint, he can already be seen by ordinary people, which means that his level must be at least above the third level!
There was a warrior at least the third rank among the attackers, could Adam do it?
Jerry broke out in a cold sweat, but soon realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Adam didn't even hesitate for a moment, but rushed towards the three with a cold snort, and he actually wanted to capture the three at the same time with his own strength.
"Hmph, it's just a fourth-level warrior, leave it for me!"
Seeing that Adam's body was blooming with a stronger fighting aura than the other party, the attacking warrior smiled coldly, and the light of his whole body suddenly increased several times, and the color became scarlet!
"You...... Sixth-level warrior!" Adam was shocked, as a fourth-level temple warrior, he was not afraid of even an ordinary fifth-level warrior, but in front of a sixth-level warrior, he had no possibility of winning at all.
"It's too late!"
Boom -
With Jerry's level, he couldn't even see how the man made a move, he only saw Adam's body in the agitation of the fighting spirit thrown backwards, and at the same time, the other two escort fighters who had just arrived were knocked away.
The bright silver shield that one of them was holding came out of his hand, and landed near Jerry with a thud. Other teenagers might have been scowling at this point, but Jerry wouldn't.
Without thinking about it, he used all his strength to rush over and pick up the big shield, and then immediately blocked it in front of him.
Almost at the same moment, he felt a strong force attack, his arms instantly lost his instincts in the sharp pain, and his whole body flew back uncontrollably until he hit something.
"Huh, it doesn't hurt, it seems to be soft. ”
Jerry thought in surprise, and then he smelled another scent, very fragrant and pleasant.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously turned back, only to meet a pair of eyes.
The eyes were bright, but they were beautiful, like the most beautiful stars in the clear night sky.
Of course, there was a hint of anger in these beautiful eyes......
