The Great Knowledge of the Multiverse - There is no such thing as a strange style of "Warrior Monk" in this universe, but there is a school of warriors similar to Warrior Monk, which has nothing to do with gods and beliefs.

Inside the tavern in town.

The wide hall was noisy, and the soldiers gathered here to drink and gamble. A group of people gathered around each table, each with loud bickering, clattering glasses, and stumbling singing. Some of the town's men also got involved, diluting the depression of life with some shoddy jokes and petty gambling.

The original temple of the goddess of the earth had long been smoky, and only these poor people of low status would visit this place of birds full of sweat and bad wine.

With a bang, the tavern door was slammed open.

A man in dark golden burly armor walked in, and the black hammer in his hand was reflecting the light of the candle strangely, making people feel a palpitation.

Tivedus, who was playing cards, looked up and saw that it was the priest of the "Lord of Eternity" and the heir of the baron, Palik. The onlookers became a little timid, some wanted to salute Palik, but now it was Grimm who was in charge of the affairs of the territory, and some wanted to ignore it, but he was the heir to the territory after all. I didn't know what to do for a while.

Everyone in the tavern stood silent. It's as if time has been frozen.

Tivedus was racking his brains about how to greet him, but he spoke first: "Tivedus!"

His tone was full of an indisobedient command: "Now I command you, gather all your soldiers at once, bring the best weapons, and go with me to kill that druid!"

All of them stared at him in unison, and several even exclaimed, "He's crazy!"

Tivedes laughed out loud in surprise: "Hehehe, you're not going to tell jokes, are you?" A couple of them are doing a joke contest. ”

Palik's face was as hard as iron: "It's not a joke! This is an order! If you want to continue to be a knight in the future, if you don't want to be driven out of this territory in the future, then obey my ordersβ€”take all the people, and we will go and put to death the unbelieving druid! Only by letting the blood of that heretic be drained will the Lord be pleased!"

Tivedes' eyes widened and he slowly got up. His hands trembled slightly from the intense inner struggle.

He got up unusually slowly, and everyone in the room looked at him stunned, quietly, as if he was a puppet that didn't make a sound. When he finally stood up straight, he finally spoke with difficulty: "No, I won't go, I won't give this order! If anyone wants to take you in their roots, it's their own business." ”

Palik smiled and nodded slightly. Then he asked aloud, "Then whoever comes with me? Whoever is willing to fight out! The first person to stand up will be the future knights! Those who do not obey orders will be punished by the Lord's justice in the future!" "The knight is the one who is between the commoner and the noble, and is the one who has the best chance of becoming a nobleman." Although the competition for this position is fierce! Countless people have fought with their lives all their lives and have not been promoted to knighthood. Palik's approach is tantamount to giving people a chance to climb to the sky!

Everyone in the room kept looking at each other, but there was a hint of horror in their eyes. I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of Donghezi or if I'm afraid of this future lord.

Still silent.

The light of a few candles slowly flickered, making Palik's two-handed hammer appear darker.

"You're all very bold!" said Palik sarcastically, "aren't you afraid of being driven out of your territory?"

Still no one spoke.

"Good, good!" Palik sneered and "praised," "You're all Arec's followers." His followers were brave men. I'm not afraid of being driven out of the territory and starving to death!"

"We'll wait until you're back for your life!" Tivedus cursed as he slammed his cards on the table.

Inside the Baron's small castle.

Grimm watched with mixed emotions as Frik diagnosed the unconscious old baron. He didn't want the Baron to wake up, but he didn't want the Baron to die either. It's best for you to stay in this way, but for how long?

The future was so unpredictable that he felt very anxious.

If only the prophecy scroll were still around, at least I would know what to do next.

Frik took the pills from the old butler's hand, these things were all left by Dong He for the old baron to take. She said to Grimm, the old butler, and the others, "These medicines have melted in the mouth, and can be given to the baron to continue his life after taking it." But I felt that his life had come to an end, and it was hard to wake up. Even these drugs don't last a few days. Only after the tutor of Dong Hezi has completed his secret art research, will he be invited to heal the baron. He was the only one who could wake the baron up. ”

Grimm secretly rejoiced, maybe he could "discuss" with Master Donghezi, so that his uncle would never "wake up"?

While he was secretly thinking to himself, a soldier rushed in and reported to the old butler: "Pastor Palik has left the city alone on horseback overnight, but his things are still in Elsha's house and have not been taken with him. ”

All three people in the room asked, "Do you know what he's going to do?"

The soldier hesitated, "I heard that he went to the tavern and asked all the soldiers to gather and kill Master Donghezi. They would not, so he rode away on his horse. Everyone is speculating that maybe he went outside and asked someone to kill Master Donghezi. ”

"Huh?!" all three were shocked and angry.

"Who is he going to go outside?" said Grimm, surprised, "He has no army to mobilize, and he cannot go all the way to mobilize the followers of the Lord of Yahweh to come here to conquer him." Is it to find that kind of high-level adventure team? Push Master Donghezi like a monster? He's too funny, hmph, I think he's going to be unlucky!"

"It's too reckless!" the old butler cried out with some anger, "How can Master Donghezi's strength be comparable to those brainless monsters? If not, the master will be angry with our town! Then it will be a big trouble! I will immediately have someone chase him back. How could he be so messy?!"

Flick stood up and said hurriedly: "No matter what he goes out of the city to do, since he has bad intentions for the mentor, then I think I should inform Le Lin and ask her to tell the mentor of Donghezi to get ready." ”

The complicated moods of the three of them dispersed, and an invisible storm was quietly brewing.

10 days later, on the hills outside the town of Harmonville.

Dressed in formidable armor, Palik dismounted first and stood on a hill far from the town, looking out at the stone fort halfway up the mountain.

A powerful infidels and fifty thousand gold coins are there. Soon they will be on display at their feet!

The Lord's approval, abundant riches, and the power to rule will soon come upon you!

Praise the Lord Almighty, and thank you for giving me such an opportunity. I will dedicate the rest of my life to turning this land into the Lord's shepherd's land.

Praise be to Almighty, Lord.

He prayed silently in his heart.

The four people behind him also dismounted, carefully looking at the stone castle in the distance. Estimate the strength of the target.

They are a 4-person adventure squad, consisting of: They once had a brilliant record of fighting and a certain prestige, and after laying a certain foundation, they turned to some tasks of medium difficulty to do, although the money was not very much, but it was better than hanging their heads on their belts. This time, it was because the priest in the team happened to be a believer in the Lord of Eternity, so Congcai and Palik were connected. Palik hired them for 8,000 gold to kill a powerful druid. Although a little tricky, the commission is just too generous to far outweigh the risks. It's impossible to resist the temptation.

Of course, if the opponent is a mage or a priest, then they will not dare to take the job if they are killed.

A mage wearing a silver headdress asked a warrior-looking armored man next to him, "Is your crossbow ready?" ”

"Don't worry. The middle-aged armored man patted the package hanging on the horse's body and said, "This is the latest crossbow, I have tried it many times, and it will not be a problem to shoot through the heavy scale armor! I am worried that he will turn into a mouse, rabbit and other small animals." ”

"You can rest assured. The mage, who was also a middle-aged man, took out a bottle of potion and said, "I have also prepared this scent tracking potion, as long as it is poured on him, it will emit a strong smell, and it will not be washed off! Hahahaha"

The two laughed together.

Palik calmly turned around and reminded, "Don't be too happy, I've heard that this guy once killed a gnoll leader with a fourth-order divine skill. He also used a trick to capture a stormbringer. We must be well prepared this time! Are you all ready for the spells to defend against thunder and lightning?"

"Of course it's ready. The mage said confidently and slowly, "The druid's killing spells are just two kinds of thunder and lightning, and fire, plus an ice-type ice storm. We have prepared 4 elemental resistance spells to restrain his magic spells. As long as the warrior can withstand his attack, it is easy to say. ”

Palik turned to look at the other young priest, who replied, "The strengthening spells are ready. The Shield of Piousness, the tenacity of a bear, the strength of an ox, supernatural powers, and freedom of movement. I've also prepared two spells to weaken him. He turned to the mage again and said, "Actually, you don't need your scent tracking potion." I also have a 'True Knowledge' scroll that I can add to a warrior so he can see through the druid's transformation. ”

The mage shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's fine, but I'm still advocating the use of scents to track potions." After all, there is only one true knowledge technique, and only one person can see the true face. What if he turns into a bird and flies, and the warrior's crossbow misses it?"

Palik said in a deep voice, "Both the True Sense and the Scent-Tracking Potion are used!

The young priest smiled, "Of course it will work, but it's just a druid with a single spell." We've wiped out 30 ferocious wolves at once, and we've killed the team of the Chiru Demons! With you're an extra priest, it's no wonder we're going to lose. ”

The wanderer, who was sharpening his dagger with a knife, was unwilling to be forgotten, so he interjected: "Where to rest tonight? Is there a better hotel in town? Is there a waitress in the tavern? I haven't touched a woman for six or seven days, and I'm a little panicked." ”

Palik waved his hand unquestioningly, "No! Once there, someone will report to the druid. So tonight we're going to camp out under this hill, and tomorrow morning we're going to eat and kill that druid in one fell swoop! Don't worry about anything, just push him as a monster. ”

Everyone laughed and chimed in: "Yes, yes! The druid always turns into an animal to fight, and just pushes him like a monster." Hahaha. ”

"We're going to push the blame tomorrow!" the four of them shouted happily together, with a momentum like a rainbow. As if victory was at hand.

That night, the five of them lit a bonfire on the hilly side away from the town of Hamonville.

Then Palik walked alone to the top of the hill and knelt down in prayer in the direction of the town of Hamonville. After the other four of them checked their items and methods, they chatted around the small campfire.

The middle-aged warrior first silently gnawed on the dried meat, listened to the other three chatter, and suddenly interjected: "After the commission of 2,000 gold coins is in hand this time, maybe I will quit the team." ”

"Why?" they asked, in amazement, "Haven't you been doing a good job?"

The middle-aged warrior slowly tapped the old lobster-style armor on his body with his fingers, and said with a flat expression: "I am old, I went out at the age of 16, and now I am 35 years old. The first half of my life has passed like this, but I don't even have a wife and children. Now I have saved enough money to live a prosperous life for the rest of my life. So I'm going to quit and live my life quietly. ”

The middle-aged mage next to him smiled and asked, "No, why have you become so depressed? When we formed this team together, you said that you wanted to become a hero like Maiden Lacey and return to your hometown after success." Now that you're also a level 10 warrior, the ferocity of your body is about to begin, and there's still a lot of potential to be tapped!

"Not a sudden change of mind. The middle-aged warrior touched his short beard and explained, "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time. You see, it will take at least 10 years for my body to become completely violent, and I will be almost 50 years old at that time. Besides, if I keep fighting, I may not live to be 50 years old. You mages will not understand the pressure that our warriors are subjected to. ”

The mage sneered and retorted: "Every time you fight, we add all kinds of auxiliary spells to you, and when you go up, it's like chopping melons and vegetables to hit an enemy, what kind of pressure." ”

The middle-aged warrior shook his head with a smile and said, "What you said is an opponent who is not up to the grade, how can a really strong opponent be so easy." Let's just say that last time, when we annihilated that small group of sub-giant bandits, as soon as you saw that the situation was not right, you gave yourself a flying technique and flew into the sky. Those sub-giants could only stare dryly, and I was besieged by them, and I almost lost my life! Speaking of which, every time you see a bad situation, you fly into the sky, leaving the enemies on the ground helpless. If you can't do it, you can use any door and teleportation to escape. And I'm going to have to carry it down there. How do you understand that pressure?"

The mage was a little embarrassed, but on a few occasions he did run first.

The middle-aged warrior pointed at the wanderer and said, "And him, if he really can't win any time, he can also slip away quietly." As for me, whether I advance or retreat, I have to withstand the enemy's attack. The one who is most likely to lose his life is me. ”

"Don't make us so embarrassed. The young pastor next to him hurriedly eased the atmosphere: "He and I have never left you behind!"

The middle-aged warrior shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just assuming. Speaking of which, every time you stand at the back of the line, you take less risk than I do. Now I just think about every battle, and I'm terrified. I've had more and more nightmares this year. ”

The mage laughed, "We know, but I think you're scaring yourself." We have made full preparations and deployments before each battle, and basically we fought as expected. Besides, we rarely take on difficult tasks now, so how can something happen?"

The middle-aged warrior was silent for a while, but sighed and said, "Alasβ€”who knows what the future holds? That dragon-slaying hero Delivki didn't die under the sticks of a few kobolds in the end? Even the bones were chopped up and boiled by them! He is still a supreme warrior with a steel heart, and his equipment is ten times better than mine, but what is the result?"

Everyone was silent, the atmosphere was unusually quiet, and the sound of the campfire crackling and burning seemed to become very harsh.

The middle-aged warrior sighed again and said, "Therefore, those who do our warrior business are the most insecure. Maybe one day you can drown in the gutter. I've been worried for more than ten years, and now it's time to live the rest of my life in peace. ”

He looked up at the sparse starry sky and seemed to mutter, "Gods, thank you for keeping me alive until now." At the end of this mission, I will be able to put an end to this torturous adventure. From now on, I don't have to hear the roars of those monsters that pierce my ears, I don't have to endure the disgusting stench that makes people unable to eat for five days, I don't have to worry about my head being bitten through by the monsters' huge teeth all the time, I don't have to lie in the cold and biting snow in the middle of the night and wait for enemies who may not come, I don't have to step on the rancid sludge to track down those little monsters who don't know what to say, I don't have to carry armor heavier than a mountain to continue fighting after being hit by exhaustion, You don't have to risk being blinded by dazzling spells to rush into battle, you don't have to worry that you won't even be able to count one plus one after being mentally handicapped, you don't have to worry about being seduced and become a living walking dead, you don't have to worry about being beaten into ice slag by the enemy's frozen magic orb, and you don't have to worry about your soul being made into soul gems by some devil to sell around. ”

He took a big bite of a piece of dried meat and continued: "Yes! I don't have to live in fear anymore! I will buy a manor in the future, and it doesn't matter how big or small. Then buy a couple of women and give me a whole bunch of children. I slept under a thick warm quilt at night, and a few women warmed me up. I slept until what time I wanted every morning, and when I woke up, I saw a delicious breakfast prepared for me by the servant. If you have nothing to do, you can go fishing in the calm and fresh pond, and go to the woods with solid roads to hunt rabbits. Then call the people in the manor and drive the cauldron to have a lively picnic. I want to cook fresh thornless fish, delicious female rabbit meat, vigorous wild boar, and tender duck meat in a big pot. Add the freshest carrots, the largest winter melon, the most refreshing cabbage leaves, and a lot of sweet and sour tomatoes to make a big pot of the most delicious broth. Damn! I really want to live like this tomorrow! I can't stand the dog life anymore!"

He looked unusually restless, nibbling on the dried meat fiercely, and never said a word again.

The four of them didn't speak, each thinking about their own thoughts.
