Chapter 12: The False Savior
Although this round took a slight advantage, the paladin did not dare to continue to make mistakes. He retracted his sword into its sheath, straightened up, and said in a deep voice;
"I am Landis of the Tomander family, a third-rank baron, and the captain of the knights under the command of the Grand Lord Garris Visak. This colleague, it seems that there is some misunderstanding between us, and I have just offended a lot, I hope you will forgive me. After speaking, he bowed slightly.
Although Oster was tempted to choke on the sanctimonious executioner, what had happened had made him realize that he could not go on any longer. The strength of the other party is strong, far from being comparable to the kind of small soldiers who can play at will yesterday. And there are too many accidents in actual combat, and if you continue to wave, you may lose yourself.
If you think about it, you can't get along with the ruling class here. He traveled to this world to take risks instead of being a boss, and he will have to mix in this country in the future.
Although the other party oppressed the serfs and disregarded people's lives, it actually had little to do with himself. He's only been here for less than five months, and he's not familiar with anyone here; The big fight with the instructor is more because the other party provoked him, and he couldn't get angry.
As for what the Burning Revolutionary Army, the expedition to liberate the whole universe. Come on...... In a past life, he also knew some outstanding and noble people who were committed to the elimination of exploitation and the creation of a new world free from oppression. Do you guess what happened to the career they fought for all their lives?
What no one could have done in the previous life, it would be easier said than done here. Auster has neither the ability nor the will to be a savior, and for him, the Book of Sargeras is nothing more than a golden finger to gain strength and use to live a second life that is prosperous and bright.
Now that the other party has apologized and made overtures, Oster intends to shake hands with the paladin. Maybe you can have a good relationship with the church naturally, get some equipment to entangle, or even mix up a half-job. He has had enough of the life of being displaced and hungry in the past few days, and he wants to get the crossing back on track as soon as possible.
So he shrugged his shoulders and whistled, "Since you sincerely apologize, I will be merciful and forgive you." ”
Paladin Landis didn't care about Oster's playful attitude, nodded, and ordered the team to reorganize and prepare for the pull, not forgetting to let his subordinates let go of the three instructors who were tied up.
Oster looked around, and when he accidentally glanced at the back of the Instructor team, he saw the wagons and cages used to hold the prisoners.
Apparently Landis and his team were not idle after they left, and they caught a lot of escaped serfs and homeless people everywhere. Suddenly, in the corner of the cage, he saw two familiar figures, they were Windsor and Tommy.
They still did not escape the pickets. Oster hurriedly ran over, and the instructor guarding the cage didn't dare to stop him at all, so he hurriedly gave way.
Oster crouched beside the cage and saw Windsor lying motionless in the cage, eyes closed and bloodless. Tommy hugged his mother's head tightly and fell asleep;
What made Oster's blood chill was that Windsor's hands were being nailed together by a shocking wire. Tommy's face is also covered in bloody whip marks, and his clothes are soaked with the blood of unknown whether it is himself or his mother.
Oster was stunned, his mind blank. Landis followed, and Oster asked slowly, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”
Landis glanced at the cage and explained, "Do you mean this slave girl, she stabbed the High Lord of Visak with scissors while she was escaping. The big lord spoke, he must be caught alive, and he will personally punish him. That's why I spared her and the life of the little next to me for the time being. ”
Oster's hand clutching the post crackled. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was completely different from most people in this world.
Landis continued, "Leave these stinking slaves alone, come back to the castle with me, and I'll officially introduce you to the High Lord." Don't know your name yet? ”
"Excuse me, I'm your father." Oster slowly stood up. With a click, he snapped a piece of the wooden cage off with his fingers.
Landis was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Is this a popular way to greet now, I haven't been to Stormwind City for a few days, I don't know what trend is rising over there......"
Oster turned around, stared into Landis's eyes, and said word by word;
"I've come to understand now that even if the insects are golden and bright, it doesn't change the fact that they're beasts. And man and beast can never stay together. ”
Landis finally understood what the other party meant at this time, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, even if you are a family member of the Holy Light, no matter how high your status is, it is not allowed to insult a knight in person. I advise you to retract what you have just said, otherwise I have the right to propose a duel to you in accordance with the law of knights. ”
Oster threw the broken pillar directly and hit Landis's breastplate. "Don't be so troublesome, you can do everything you have, I'm in a hurry."
Landis stared coldly at Oster, his sword in hand. Seeing this, the surrounding instructors knew that the two were going to have a second round, so they hurriedly gave up the empty field.
Oster and Landis stood opposite each other, with exaggerated finesse plate armor and enchanted swords on one side and rags and defenseless on the other.
Although he planted the flag as soon as his mind was hot, Oster understood that the situation was still not in his favor. The spells he had stolen had been used up, and he had no good way to deal with the heavily armored iron lumps.
In the Middle Ages on Earth, a knight dressed in a three-millimeter iron sheet and holding a cast-iron sword was enough to be unparalleled in the peasant army; And the plate armor of this world generally reached three centimeters, which was more than the light tank of the First World War, and because of the outrageous magic, it was effortless to wear alive. If the other party rushes directly, your best choice is to turn around and run.
However, Oster glanced at the dying mother and son in the cage next to him, and this time he couldn't back down.
Fortunately, Landis had already decided that the other party was a high-level priest in penance, and he did not intend to attack directly, and used the highest level of holy magic from the beginning.
[Judgment, spell level 5, type sacred.] 】
Seeing that the paladin had finished casting, a light hammer hit him, and on the USB flash drive interface in front of Oster, the progress of the opponent's spell casting and the trajectory of the spell were clearly marked.
One of the biggest differences between this world and the game is that spells don't automatically lock onto like missiles, and don't follow the target to move and turn.
In this relatively real world, the magic released is like an arrow and a bullet shot, and the trajectory will be directed wherever it is cast, without changing the path halfway, which is equivalent to all floor skills. Most spells also don't distinguish between friend and foe, and will be hit as long as they are within range.
Oster suspects that this is how the original Chronicle was set up, but the game has been simplified for ease of use. This also applies to healing and effect-based spells, in other words, if the cast target is out of range, the health will also miss.
Thanks to the Bug's pre-reading and resolving capabilities, Oster can move and dodge spells before they hit. As long as he is far enough away to move himself unrestricted, he has a super high dodge ability for most spells.
After easily dodging the Inquisition, Oster casually unleashed the same attack and struck back. Copying can not chant and cast time, and the other party does not have the ability to see the path and direction of the spell, so he can only rely on the equipment on his body or a spell to resist.
After a while, Oster was unharmed, and Landis was out of breath, and the enchantment energy on several plates of his body was depleted, and it became extremely heavy, weighing down his shoulders and slowing his movements.
Seeing that the USB flash drive detected that the durability of the opponent's armor had decreased and his movements slowed down, Oster realized that even in this world, plate armor is not a weight that can be worn under normal circumstances;
The heavy armor worn by officers and knights is actually attached to gravity magic, and the enchantment of this world is as common and simple as adding oil and screws. That's why they can wear iron armor of exaggerated thickness, as light as if they were wearing foam models. And if the enchantment energy is depleted or destroyed, the armor will return to its normal weight.
The battle quickly returned to the rhythm of the previous round, with Oster circling the arena without giving the opponent a chance to get close, relying on copying spells to fight back, constantly draining Landis' magic and stamina. And the latter had already been out of order, coupled with the slowness of his movements, he was dragged to empty a dozen holy arts, and he was exhausted.
