ps: The third watch is over, and finally I would like to thank the leader of the book friend "Yue Fei sujadeies" again, and thank you for your reward, voting, and the book friends who posted this chapter for their great support, the Son of Heaven is here to wish everyone a happy New Year!

On the night after arriving at Guangze, the Duke of Kenes sent someone to meet them, and arranged accommodation for the group, and the Duke himself was still on vacation at his estate, and he expressed his regret for the incident, and also disposed of the people involved.

Finally, a general, bruised and bruised with a lake of flesh on his back was brought to Aaron by the Duke, and the Duke's envoy told Aaron: "We have already punished the derelict, and now we will hand over this dereliction to you, Lord Aaron Salian, and you will decide what to do with him."

The implication was that the man's fate was left to Aaron.

Duke Kenes did a very interesting job: he was reluctant to see Aaron directly, because it would have to apologize in person for affecting his duke's prestige, but he handed over his generals to show that he was at Aaron's disposal, showing great sincerity.

But it was said that it would be handed over to Aaron to dispose of at will, and the duke himself had already used the punishment, and if Aaron really wanted to do it, it would be equivalent to two punishments.

So Duke Kenes played very well with this hand, and when the duke's personal guards dragged the general into the room to take a look, he really looked sluggish, his body was still dripping blood, and the skin and legs behind him were messed up, and he was barely held up by two ironclad guards.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry! It's my responsibility." The general knelt down in front of Aaron with his head bowed: "Your Excellency, I, Joachim Pope, will have no complaints!"

Aaron sat in his chair and looked at General Joachim Pope kneeling in front of him, and his expression was a little complicated for a moment.

Do you blame him? Do you want to kill him? But Duke Kenes had already been punished, and Charlotte had spoken out his innermost thoughts, Aaron was not so sad, and even vaguely felt that Ciric had helped him deal with a problem.

Don't you blame him? But this is indeed his responsibility, and his soldiers did not take a good look at the people who were exiled by him.

Seeing his ashamed look, his expression rotting into pieces of flesh and skin trembling in the cold wind of the Midwinter Festival, the anger in Aaron's heart dissipated slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Untie him."

"Yes!" The duke's ironclad guards loosened the general's rope, and General Pope bowed his head and continued to kneel without speaking.

"General Pope, you have been in the army for a long time, in the war with Zambia, I can hear your name even in Susar, no matter what, you are a general, since His Excellency the Duke has punished you, then I will not kill you today, I only hope that from now on, you can remember this lesson and do it for yourself." Aaron said in a surging voice.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness!" General Pope breathed a sigh of relief, he was not yet thirty years old this year, he was a rising star in the army of the Duke of Ireland, and he was about to show his strength, but he fell hard in this matter!

"No, it's not over yet." Aaron said coldly, "I haven't completely forgiven you yet!"

"Your Excellency?" General Pope looked up incredulously.

"Tomorrow I will go to the scene with my teammates to investigate the situation, since His Royal Highness the Duke has sent you, then this part of your army will be on standby, if something happens, I need you and your army to respond at any time." ….「…… Got it! Joachim Pope is always waiting for your command, Lord Salian!"

When the duke's personal guard took the general out, Renard, who was about to admonish him, smiled and said, "He is worthy of being a junior brother, and he easily brought us a reinforcement army, but he still owes us favors."

"His Highness Kennes-Irish, this is a good plan." Aaron shook his head and said with a smile, "Knowing that I wouldn't do anything to his general, I sent him here to act, which can be regarded as exposing this matter."

Duke Kenes helped Aaron twice before, and the golden ticket of 1000 gold lion coins can be said to have solved Aaron's urgent need, and then helped him when he met the princess, Aaron had to admit this love, so that by acting in a play, the relationship between the two was preserved, and Aaron's face was also saved.

"Good evening

Rest, tomorrow we will go to the Warrior Monastery first." Aaron got up, "Then go to the scene."

"Good!" Renard went out.

"Sister?" Aaron looked at Charlotte.

"Well, okay, my sister knows." When the eldest lady saw that her younger brother did not keep herself, her little face puffed up like a bun, and seeing Aaron's resolute attitude, she reluctantly left Aaron's room.

The next day, after breaking away from the main army, Aaron, Charlotte, and Renard entered Guangze.

The first impression of this place on Aaron is that it is barren, dilapidated and cold.

The swamp with no end in sight was covered with ice and snow, the land was white and blank, and the thick ice covered the swamp land underneath, and the mess of gravel and dead wood along the way did not look like an inhabited place at all, and the wind and snow in the distance covered the sight of the three of them, only the hills that were faintly visible in the distance were many pillars.

It was the bones of all kinds of animals, monsters, and even humans.

"This is not a place for people." Renard sighed, "So your people have been exiled here, junior."

"Yes, but this is already an extrajudicial favor from His Majesty." Aaron shook his head, his brow furrowed, "Let's go to the Warrior Monk Monastery first."

"Warrior Monk?" Charlotte blinked excitedly, although the eldest lady didn't like this kind of wild environment, she liked to be with her younger brother, hearing the term warrior monk, the eldest lady smiled casually: "I thought the warrior monks were extinct long ago."

"The way of the warrior monk is indeed too bitter." Renard acknowledged this, and the paladin brushed the snowflakes from his robes with his fingers.

The holy warriors are actually very similar to the warrior monks, they all resonate with the laws of the origin of the world through various rules and precepts, sacred oaths, and thus gain great power.

But there is still a fundamental difference between the two professions, the holy warriors advocate "joining the world", they swear to uphold justice and justice, they swear to fight against the ever-eroding darkness with all the good in the world, and they swear to hunt all the evil that lurks everywhere.

Monks seek a path to perfection through meditation and precepts, spending most of their time in monasteries, carrying out some productive activities, visiting neighboring villages and towns, and offering services in exchange for food and other supplies. The only way to choose to leave the monastery and venture into the mortal world is to "enter the world", to leave the ashram, to end the regular life of the collective and become a wanderer, which is quite a harsh change for the warrior monks, and it is not easy to accept.

Therefore, paladins are natural adventurers, and warrior monks often come out to take risks for a major reason.

Therefore, the eldest lady will say that she thought that the warrior monks had long been extinct. VIII 1@

The monastery is surrounded by a small open area between the two hills, and the buildings inside are all made of wood, many of which have fallen into disrepair and dilapidation, and the open area is beneath the frozen swamp, so the monks used wooden planks to make many bridges and steps to connect the wooden houses.

The gate of the monastery is also wooden, and although the gate is closed, it gives the impression that it will fall when you push it.

Aaron knocked on the door of the convent.

An old warrior monk walked out, he was dressed in a robe of animal skin, his hair was cleanly shaved, his eyebrows were white, and he glanced at the three people below, and the warrior monk said, "Who are you? Recently, there was a bloody eucalyptus in Guangze, and a group of cannibal degenerates broke in, and many people were killed, so the Monastery of Guangze was closed, and now it is temporarily closed to outsiders."

"I'm Aaron Salion." Aaron cried out, "That's why I'm here! I would like to ask about the bloody eucalyptus and the Maximian, a son of our people, and I would also like to meet the Master of the Void."

The old warrior monk hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Aaron's expression did not seem to be fake, and his appearance was two or three points similar to Maximian, he nodded.

The monastery gates opened, and there was a chill in my face, and the livestock that crowded the gorge.

There are probably less than 100 warrior monks in the Hirosawa Monastery, and they usually produce high-grade death cheese, which is made from the milk squeezed from the domesticated Cato Bricks beast, which is popular all over the country, and costs 5 gold lion coins per pound. This soft cheese with a red paraffin-like rind is still a delicate and expensive addition to the dinner table.

Aaron repeated his request.

"You've come just in time, last of Salian." In the wind and snow, the old warrior monk folded his hands and saluted Aaron: "Sora has no Qing Xiu today, you can go directly to see him."

With that, the old monk led Aaron, Renard, and Charlotte to a longhouse made of thatched, somewhat tattered, with wooden planks on the ground and half on top of the swamp, covered with thatch, and furnished with very simple furnishings, except for some of the most basic daily necessities and a hardboard bed.

Aside from an iron pot hanging in the air, there wasn't even any metal in the room.

A warrior monk with thick eyebrows, wearing a cloth shirt, trousers, loafs, leggings and arms, and small eyes and big nose folded his hands and stood up to welcome everyone.

The old warrior monk said a few words and introduced the origin of Aaron and the others, and then withdrew from the house.

"Hello, Master of the Sky." Aaron saluted the warrior monk with great respect.

"Your Excellency is falsely praised." The warrior monk immediately returned the salute, and there was no joy or sadness on his face, but he bowed his head very modestly.

"I'll introduce you, this is the Master of the Sky." Aaron turned to Charlotte and Renard, "He's not just a warrior monk, he's an ascetic who vows to poverty!"

"Hehe~" The ascetic named Sora smiled.

Charlotte didn't react, but Renard was taken aback.

Fakirs?! The Poverty Oath?

The Poverty Oath is widely regarded as the most powerful but also the most severe oath in the kingdom!

The requirement of this vow is that the vow-taker voluntarily renounce and give away all his wealth! And no longer be able to own or use any material possessions!

How harsh is this oath?

Let's put it this way, once a person has made a vow of poverty, he is only allowed to own the following property during his adventures:

One, a non-magical improvised weapon, such as a long club, a short club, a dagger, and a hammer.

Second, a set of ordinary cloth armor costumes with non-magical attributes.

Three, no more than one day's rations.

Fourth, you can't take the initiative to use any magic items, unless it's your teammates who give you help, and you can't wear any magic equipment, even if it's borrowed by your teammates.

Fifth, do not leave overnight money.

By making a "poverty vow", the warrior monk will be called "

Ascetics", they give up magic weapons, give up all external help, and hone their "mind, body, and skills" to the greatest extent by abstaining from material pleasures, so as to pursue the power of transcendent sanctification.

The bonus of the Poverty Oath is very powerful, even an apprentice-level dervish can get a high bonus in physical attributes, defense, and magic resistance after making the Poverty Oath, and as the strength of the ascetic increases, this bonus will become stronger and higher.

They are one of the most perceptual classes, and they are immune to almost all of the Charm and Mind spells.

However, ascetics are also the most difficult and arduous career paths, and they are also bound by the power of the poverty vow, and once they break the vow, the power of the ascetic will dissipate and they will become ordinary warriors, and they will never be able to make the poverty vow again.

The slightest hole in the heart, the slightest pleasure beyond the scope of the vow, will break the vow, and there will be no possibility of atonement.

"Dervishes are really powerful, they can face a dragon on their own.

The dervishes are really weak, and they will collapse because of a gem."

- Kingdom jokes

Therefore, the poverty oath is often challenged, but 90% of people can't hold on for a year, and it is difficult for mortals to resist the temptation of materialism, especially for the race of strong desires of human beings.

Renard could see that Sora was not young, which meant that he had been on this road for a long time.

This couldn't help but make the holy warrior awe-inspired.

"Master Sora, I need your help." Aaron said respectfully, pulling out Samir's letter.

Nodding his head, he took the letter, looked at it a few times, and instead of rushing to reply, he stared at Aaron.

"Master?" Aaron was puzzled.

"Mother must call me a master, young man, just call me "empty." The dervish stood up and stared at Aaron.

"Young man, you give me a strange feeling."

"I can feel your kindness."

"But I can see something in your eyes."

"I see the primordial darkness and the most ferocious madness in the depths of the universe!"
