Chapter 59: He's a Trustworthy Man
This conflict has been completely crushing since Ryan and Althea and Orpheus and his paladins entered the battle.
In less than a moment, all the members of the Black Snake Gang were wiped out.
After briefly dealing with the post-war situation, Ryan came to Ann's face, "I'm sorry, I was careless, I didn't expect the Black Snake Gang to investigate so carefully for a few minions." β
"No, it has nothing to do with that," Ann shook her head, briefly recounting her experience, and bowed her head slightly to them as she finished speaking, "...... Anyway, thank you for helping me. β
"Just did what we could, just like we did with the wheels back then," Ryan and Althea looked at each other and smiled, "and I think it's Bandy who should say thank you the most, because he owes us a lot of favors." β
"yes, damn itβ" Bandy scolded, "Look at the good things these Black Snake Gang trash have done, it's a big deal now, such a big favor, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it no matter how much I repay it." β
Ann couldn't help but grin at the halfling's funny appearance, but the action touched her wound, and she couldn't help but grin slightly.
"I'll help you."
Orpheus came to Ann and cast the Paladin's professional spell.
- Holy Healing!
As a holy light flickered, Ann's expression softened, and she expressed her gratitude to the paladin, while Orpheus proudly said that it was her part.
"It's like a dream."
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, as well as the few young people standing in front of her, An had a feeling of unreality for a moment.
Today was supposed to be a very ordinary day. She would win the opposite fighter and get the prize money, and use the money she earned to buy the medicine needed to treat Amy's illness, but everything changed because of the words of the person in charge.
She was ambushed by her "colleagues" for the first time, experienced an extremely difficult battle for the first time, faced a life-and-death situation for the first time, and just when she was ready to die, the helper actually arrived.
A fighter like her, who makes a living by "boxing", may only contribute to the town by crippling her opponent every time, a wicked fighter, and there will be someone other than Bandy and old acquaintances who are willing to help her?
No.
Wait a minute.
Now is not the time to think about this!
Ann took a deep breath, she knew it might seem too much to ask at this time, but Amy was the driving force that had enabled her to move forward and get all the way to where she is today.
Let them think of me as an insatiable person, anyway, I'm just a thug working for the Black Snake Gang, and this identity is also worthy of the character of "insatiable...... Thinking so, Anxin told Ryan and his party about the predicament he and Amy were facing.
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask, don't worry, Orpheus is a paladin, and in the temple dedicated to Tyr, the god of justice he believes in...... What's wrong? β
Seeing Orpheus' somewhat strange expression, Ryan couldn't help but frown.
"That's right, Ryan," Orpheus said, looking annoyed, "in our temple...... There were no priests. β
"No priest?" Ryan couldn't believe it, "How can there be no priests in a temple. β
"Orpheus is not lying, Ryan," said a fellow paladin in a tone of disappointment, "There were originally two priests in the temple, but they have both passed away recently, and now there are only twenty paladins in the temple with the same faith as ours. β
I see.
Ryan realized that he had forgotten something very important.
Tyr, the god of justice, was a god of integrity, and their followers were revered by both the holy warriors and the priests.
For they are good, upright, honorable, and righteous.
But!
And how many people are willing to believe in such a god like a holy warrior?
Especially in a town like Porter, which earns its fortune from the sea trade, and even has a GDP that far exceeds that of some small cities, people are more willing to believe in the goddess of wealth Wokin and the goddess of the sea Ambery.
"I see."
Ryan sighed softly.
The Holy Warrior's healing can heal wounds, but diseases cannot be classified into this category, so if Amy wants to recover, she must be performed by a priest who believes in the gods.
And although there was no requirement for the gods of the priesthood, how many were willing to help others with little or no pay?
For example, the priest of the goddess of wealth will not do good deeds for free if they do not provide enough money.
And Ambori, the goddess of the sea.
Although "the sea" and "goddess" are easy to associate with some good things, in reality this goddess is not very good-tempered. Priests who believe in this deity also do not help a girl who lives in a slum.
"In that case, why don't you take us to your house first," Ryan sighed, "I just have something to do to find Baron Jadel's manor, and I'll explain Amy's situation to the baron when the time comes, and he should be able to help you if nothing else." β
"Alright, let's go, can you go by yourself?" Ryan asked, "If not, I'll carry you." β
An opened her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect Ryan to be willing to help her do this, and couldn't help but hurriedly shook her head, "No, I can, it's just, why are you willing to ......?"
Amy's condition is very serious, she needs to take medication every three days on average, and if her condition worsens, the frequency of taking medication must be increased to once a day, plus the daily necessities, it can be described as a large amount of expenses, and if you want to completely cure Amy's condition, the amount of money you need to pay is unimaginable.
"If you're going to ask why, is it enough for you to 'play well', and for me to see in you that you want to 'protect' something?" Ryan patted Ann on the shoulder and said gently, "Otherwise, why do you think we are willing to help you, with 'sympathy'?" With all due respect, it's probably only a paladin in this world who would do such a stupid thing as giving his life for 'sympathy'. β
On the other hand, hearing these words, Orpheus suddenly felt a feeling in his heart.
Although it sounded like Ryan's words were mocking the paladins for being a bunch of fools, combined with Ryan's tone and the way he looked at him, Orpheus immediately understood the true meaning behind Ryan's words.
Ryan is identified with and understands them!
Orpheus was delighted by this discovery, so he turned his head and told the warrior monk girl that he didn't need to worry, that Ryan was a trustworthy person.
And with him, everything will be fine next.
