Chapter 49: Paladin Bull Million (Part II)
Yes, everything was back to the way it was, except for the grumbling and babbling minotaur standing on the bulletin stand, with the scripture-like name on his head, the newly-minted son of the gods, the glorious minotaur paladin bull million.
"Cattle million!" Watching him pacing down the bulletin stand with a dejected expression, I wasted no time in approaching him and patting him warmly on the shoulder.
"Hi Jeff, you're here too......" Seeing my appearance, Niu Million's mood seemed to increase a little, his frown expanded slightly, and his voice was not as depressed as just now, "...... What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here. ”
"That ceremony has drawn almost the whole city over, and it would be strange if you didn't run into me here." I replied with a smile.
My answer made him seem a little embarrassed: "What happened just now...... Have you seen it all? I don't know if this was an illusion, but in an instant, I seemed to see that the thick cowhide face on his face actually turned red.
"Of course I saw it, you made a lot of noise! Congratulations, you have successfully made the transition so quickly. But the strange thing is, when will the minotaur also be able to turn into a paladin? I asked curiously.
On the continent of Falvi, because of the differences in race and belief, the professions that each race can choose and the professions that can be transferred are also different, for example: the minotaur and the orcs believe in the mother earth goddess, believing that the dead are not in the silence of death, but are included in the arms of the mother earth goddess, and always bless the descendants of their own race, so their race has the profession of shaman, but correspondingly, no minotaur and half-orc can become the priest of the supreme god Darimus; Correspondingly, humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes are not able to become a shaman; In addition, it is difficult for the reckless and rugged Minotaur to become a mage or a wanderer, and the simple and stubborn dwarves and elves will not consider changing their beliefs and making a deal with the demons of the other world to become a warlock; The naturally low, hoarse voices of the orcs determined that they could not have been good bards. I've never seen anyone break through this difficult barrier and become a profession that is hard for their own race to become.
Similarly, each race faces this constraint when it comes to changing jobs: most races have three options when it comes to changing jobs, but some others don't. For example, in theory, it would be difficult for a minotaur to become a paladin.
Therefore, the success of Niu Million's job transfer can almost be regarded as a miracle across the times in a sense.
"Oh, don't talk about it again......" What surprised me was that at the mention of changing jobs, Niu Million was frustrated, shaking his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake off his brain shell with two horns.
It turned out that just a moment ago, Niu Million had just finished a long trip full of hardships and accidents.
The reason for this long trip was that our minotaur friend wanted to travel from Valen Fortress to Moonstream City to find an elven apothecary trainer to refresh his apothecary skills.
Originally, he could have chosen to take a carriage, but the guy who picked the door wanted to save the fare of only a few silver coins and collect some herbs along the way, so he preferred to go on foot.
Even so, there shouldn't have been any problems at all. The two places are not far apart at all, and on a clear day, you can even see the silhouette of Moonstream City from the spire of the Valen Fortress Temple, and the two cities are connected by a striking road made of bricks and stones, so even the most foolish person will not be mistaken.
And on this very simple and smooth road, our Minotaur friend once again showed his amazing astray traveler demeanor, not only surprisingly lost in the way, but also very fascinated.
Unfolding his magic map, I saw that he had taken a bold path through the Uzig Mountains, splitting the majestic mountains that reached into the sky in half, and then drawing a strange arc along the foot of the mountain, heading straight to a central land called the Onzek Plateau - this was the first time I had heard of such a ghost place in the world, and if it hadn't been for the map of Niu Million, I don't know if I would have ever heard this strange name in my life.
Fortunately, Niu Million did not arrive home completely stupid, when he made a difficult long trek on the vast Ongzek Plateau, from the deadly poisonous bees, cannibals in large wooden masks, and Yin Wind demons roaming in the meadows to fight for his life, facing the wind of the Wind Plains Desert and the yellow sand, a divine aura suddenly shook his mind, greatly activated his wisdom, and allowed him to obtain an unprecedented, clear and wise truth-like judgment-
He's lost!
If Niu Million could return the same way at this time, I'm afraid he would have been able to find Yuexi City half a month ago, but unfortunately, when it comes to exploring and discovering the way, our Minotaur friend seems to have an incredibly great talent - of course, I mean the talent of taking the wrong path.
He turned all the way to the east, swaggering and smuggling into the Centuria Plains, which belonged to the Winston Empire, without going through any exit formalities. In a small town called Davao in the middle of the plains, he boarded a boat and sailed down the Dawn River.
By the time he disembarked, the three port cities of the kingdom of Teremayer had long been left far behind him, revealing the boundless coast of the Comet. At this time, he did not realize that he had crossed the territory of three countries in a row, and came to the kingdom of Montica, a peninsula country located on the shore of the comet sea. And as soon as he reached the docks, the port town called Panlin was attacked by a large number of trolls and ogre bandits - he later learned that there were many strongholds of alien bandits in the vicinity of this town, and they would come to Panlin once a month to sweep them, and sometimes some of the people involved in the air were given the task of resisting the bandits, and organized to help the townspeople resist the bandits, but this time he was unlucky and did not meet the selfless mercenaries who reached out in times of crisis.
He was chased by the robbers for almost a day and a night, climbed three mountains, crossed three rivers, and finally arched headlong into a rainforest called the "Green Leaf Forest". According to Niu Million, this forest is full of dangerous plants, thick "man-eating vines" and highly poisonous "bright red devourers" roaming around, and if you are not careful, you will be attacked by a group. Fortunately, Niu Million's ability to escape for his life and his talent for getting lost are equally outstanding, so he can survive the danger of the crisis step by step.
Just deep in the leafy forest, Niu Million found a forest cave made of vines and branches. It was a deep cavern, and our "brave" minotaur warriors didn't even dare to explore the depths of the cave. Just a few steps around the cavern near the doorway. Just as he was about to exit the cave, he noticed that two tall "branch tappers" suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. He subconsciously hid in the darkness beside him, but he didn't expect to step into the air and fall into a dark and cold tree hole.
"That tree hole is so well hidden, it's obviously in that place, but at a glance there is nothing......" Niu Million's eyebrows fluttered to describe to me, "...... Even if I were to run to that place now, I am afraid I would not be able to find the exact location of the tree hole. ”
Find the exact location? I looked at him with an unusually suspicious gaze. I don't think a guy who can get lost on a wide, straight road can find exactly the "exact location" of what the hell is.
"You don't have to find that tree hole, just tell me where that leafy forest is on this map." I said to him without moving.
"Probably...... There you are. After a moment's hesitation, Niu Millions pointed to a certain location on the map with great certainty.
As I expected, he completely ignored the word sign of "Green Forest" on the magic map, and pointed unwaveringly at the Holy Fox Heights in the northwest. The locations of these two places are almost in the upper left corner and the bottom right corner of this map, and it will take at least half a year or even longer to walk from one place to the other.
"Uh...... I understand...... Go on. "Niu Million's ability to know and understand geography left me completely speechless.
In the hollow of the tree that Niu Million had accidentally discovered, he saw an old and frail dwarf paladin. When Niu Million saw him, the dwarf paladin was already bedridden with blood spitting from his mouth, only a strangely shaped instrument still running by the bedside of the owner of the tree hole.
The old dwarf paladin's name was Von Garret, and looking at his dying appearance, no one could have imagined that he had fought in the great war against the last kings two hundred years ago, and that he was still a high-ranking officer. He told Niu Million that after the end of that war, he did not feel that everything was over, but was full of premonitions of danger. Just as the entire continent was cheering and celebrating freedom, sovereignty and life, the Knight of von Garrett came here without hesitation, and used his skillful hands belonging to underground gnomes to install many magical devices to detect the stability of spatial magic fluctuations on the edge of the disappearance of the Blighted Lands, and waited alone by the instruments, for fear that the Blighted Lands would carry the last kings and their minions through the turbulence of time and space again and re-descend into this world.
The old knight's worries were not unreasonable, a few days ago, the instrument suddenly showed that there had been a violent fluctuation in the spatial magic elements here, and a huge and terrifying thing was about to move, and it was violently hitting the space-time barrier, wanting to descend on this plane, and the huge magic reaction was like a star in the sky was about to fall to the ground. All of this evidence points to the only goal: the Blighted Lands are moving towards the plane we are in, and the end-time king Darendil the Heartbreaker has returned!
It was at this time that the flame of life of the dwarf paladin von Garrett was about to burn out. He was bedridden, dying, unable to move. Niu Million's unexpected appearance continued the hope for the great cause he had been waiting for all his life, and he could only entrust this rash intruder alien warrior to send the information he had detected in his lifetime to the hands of the paladin trainer in Reed City.
Fortunately, there is a magic teleportation device that leads directly to Reed City in the detection station of the dwarf paladin, which is a precious lifeline for Niu Million, who is lost and about to go crazy, or for the Falvi continent, which is facing a huge crisis.
We'll know the rest. Sent to Reed City, Niu Million immediately delivered the letter of Knight Von Garrett to the hands of the paladin trainer, this matter is an immeasurable great feat for the Knights of the Starry Sky, for the Drameyer, and for the entire Falvi Continent, and his deeds are so indifferent and far from enough to be described in any words or rewarded with any amount of money.
In other words, these stingy bureaucrats have no intention of paying a copper to reward millions of cattle.
Therefore, in recognition of Niu Million's "benevolence and righteousness to the senior knights in time and the broad-mindedness to report dangerous information in a timely manner", the Star Knights made an exception and recruited this minotaur to become a member of the paladin, and informed the entire continent of his feat. It's just that this honor came too suddenly, and our minotaur friends were not prepared at all:
"Oh no, I just wanted to be a berserker, and I didn't want to be a paladin at all. The paladin's attack power is low, the speed is slow, and when you form a team, you have to often add blood to others, saying that it is a warrior to change jobs, and it is obviously a half-pull nurse profession! Hell hell, I'm really a cow now......"
