"Jeffrey!"

"Captain!"

When Orpheus finally led the others to find where Jeffrey was, he felt like he didn't know how to face it.

"You ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Mano struggled to raise his head and looked at Orpheus.

Although the two sides hadn't seen each other for more than three years, and Orpheus's image was very different from before, the vigilante still recognized the other at a glance.

"Orpheus, ha, is that you?" Mano held back the pain in his body and barely managed to squeeze out a big grin, "It looks like you've succeeded in becoming a holy warrior." ”

"Yes, Captain Mano, I'm preparing to make a trip to Norvia now," Orpheus reflexively said loudly, "and before that, I've been recognized by the local Paladin!" ”

"Norvia? This city is a sacred place in the hearts of the holy warriors, and if you can join the city's Golden Lion Regiment, Lao Tzu will have a light on his face," Mano grinned, "Because you were cultivated by me!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Then Orpheus jumped off his horse and said eagerly, "Just...... You haven't told me what the hell is going on, what happened to Jeffrey? ”

"You're still the same as before, acute, and that's about the same as me," Mano said, pretending to have nothing to do, "as for Jeffrey, the stinky boy...... Ahem, ahem! ”

"It doesn't matter to you!"

Orpheus hurriedly pounced and stretched out a hand to cover the site of Mano's wound.

A holy light lit up.

"Of course it doesn't matter if it's a small injury, but you're really good."

Mano wiped the blood coughed up from the corner of his mouth and laughed.

It's just that there is also a self-deprecation in his heart, Orpheus looks so good at this time, and he is so ugly.

Just now!

He was only hit by Jeffrey a few times, and then it was difficult to get up, and if it weren't for the careful cooperation of Ryan and Althea and the courage of Ryan to face life and death in the end, the outcome of this battle may not be so simple.

Orpheus didn't notice the strangeness in Mano's heart, and said excitedly, "Yes, Captain! I want to be as brave and strong as you! So whenever I train, I always hold myself to the strictest standards. ”

Orpheus looked at Jeffrey's body on the side and scratched his scalp in pain, "But I can't understand what happened here and why Jeffrey ...... him."

Ryan covered his wound with one hand and got up, "Captain Mano and Miss Jeroe are not in good condition right now, if you want to know what Jeffrey did, let me tell you." ”

……

"—that's what he's trying to do," Ryan said quietly, "and you may find it unbelievable and incomprehensible, including me, but that's what it is. ”

At this moment, Ryan's condition was much better after being treated by another paladin, and he continued to speak while he easily treated some of the external injuries on his own, "If you could have spared the life of that Tieflin named Barakas, these things would have been confirmed by him. ”

"No, I don't doubt Your Excellency," Orpheus hurriedly spoke, punishing evil and promoting good was the creed that he would abide by for the rest of his life as a paladin, which made him full of respect for the actions of Ryan and Athea, "Not only that, but I also want to thank you for your great help!" Without you and the captain joining forces, you can imagine how hard this battle would have been. ”

"This is the first time I've seen the Blighted, and it's incredible that there really are druids practicing this path."

On the side, a paladin spoke.

"yes, I thought I'd never meet a blight in my life," Orpheus sighed softly, and then said something Ryan had just said, "Jeffrey...... In fact, there was a chance to choose another life. ”

"yes."

The paladin companions were also quite emotional.

He could understand what Orpheus was feeling right now.

When they were training together, he often heard Orpheus mention Jeffrey, and at that time, the young paladin repeatedly commented on Jeffrey's character. But it was such a person who became a wither, a guy whose meaning in their dictionary was infinitely equivalent to "evil".

"Phew, no matter what, the Blighted are the path chosen by the druids who gave up on continuing to pursue the way of nature, and each of them is so powerful," probably wanting to change his mood, Orpheus helped Mano up and gave the latter a big hug, "Captain, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Laborious?

Hearing this, Mano couldn't help but feel a sense of shame in his heart.

Based on his performance in the battle just now, does he really deserve the word hard work?

Just as Mano thought about this.

He saw Orpheus scratch his head embarrassedly again, and said, "That...... Captain, can you tell us exactly what happened when you and Jeffrey were at war? ”

Mano raised his head and saw that the young man who had offered to train with him many years ago was looking at him with seriousness and expectation, and the complicated emotions in his heart couldn't help but flourish.

He began to sincerely regret his life for the past three years. Becoming a warrior is simple, but being a good warrior is more than just sweating and bleeding, so when Mano realizes that he has reached the limit, he chooses to degenerate and indulge himself.

I have to say.

This kind of indulgent life is quite comfortable.

Link Town is a very small town, and there are very few bad people who have the idea of attacking here, whether it is training hard every day, or indulging in depravity, the result is the same.

Case.

Why not choose a more comfortable lifestyle.

Anyway, my ceiling is already here.

"If I hadn't chosen to give up on myself in the past three years, but had continued to train as hard as I had in the past, then at least now I wouldn't have to worry about being in front of Orpheus...... Shame on you. ”

Mano thought with great remorse.

And just when he was ready to make a fool of himself in front of Orpheus, Ryan suddenly said, "What are you worried about this?" At that time, the fight was so fierce, who had the leisure time to remember this. Lord Orpheus, you just need to remember that the captain is a brave warrior, and without him, we are afraid that the probability of winning this battle is no more than two achievements. ”

"Is that what you say, Captain Mano?"
