After experiencing this small episode, everyone continued to set off. Although there were not many changes, the previous events were still a little uneasy. For the Paladin, it was obviously not a good thing to encounter such a bad thing just now.

Perhaps this also means that our journey is about to be full of twists and turns.

Duncan seemed to have found a new job at this time. After Angela finished singing that night, he seemed to think it was necessary to correct the little guy's beliefs, so he spontaneously began to educate him in the temple. Li Lin ignored such actions because it was unnecessary and boring. What's more, Angela's eloquence was not inferior to the devil. Even if she played the role of a good baby at this moment, she could not refute it with her usual vicious tongue, but if only this level of difficulty could make the blood-sucking species difficult, they would no longer be called experts who seduced others.

After all, this is a specialty of blood-sucking.

Duncan, who knew nothing about him, naturally had no worries. However, after only the first confrontation, the Paladin was defeated and could not get up from now on.

And Anjiela said only four sentences in it.

That was the question raised by Angela when Duncan was resting at noon and told Anjiela about the teachings of the God of Justice.

"Uncle Duncan, then do you mean that the God of Justice has always been by our side?"

"Of course, child. He is always by your side. As long as you listen carefully, you can feel his existence."

"So, he's been watching us?"

"Yes, the God of Justice has been watching us and guarding us."

"So, why didn't my parents come to protect us when they died?"

""

"Because my parents don't believe it, it won't come to protect us? But Uncle Knight, didn't you just say that the God of Justice is fair and just and full of love?"

“…”

Completely defeated.

What surprised Li Lin was that when Anjiera asked this question, the resentment and dissatisfaction in her tone were real. Although her life experience was just a fabricated story, it seemed that Anjiera was very sensitive to this matter, and her vague tone of dissatisfaction made everyone silent. Indeed, as the doctrine says, if the God of Justice had been paying attention to them and protecting them, there would not be so much pain in the world. But this is obviously impossible, and it can be seen that divine power cannot be done. But in this way, it is inconsistent with their doctrine. Paladins have always taken it for granted to fight evil, protect those who suffer, and regard it as their duty. However, they never thought about the reasons why these people suffered. After all, for the Paladins of the God of Justice, saving people from this painful world is their duty.

“Because the sins encountered by human beings have caused them to suffer, we need to save them.”

However, facing a little girl who has lost her parents, you can't say in front of her that this is also the sin of her parents.

Although Angela's question was unreasonable, her identity and expression made the knights with devout faith and devoutness a little shaken.

"So, these idiots are all stubborn."

Hiding in Li Lin's arms, Angela's eyes were filled with evil and excitement. Duncan had already run aside to pray because he could not answer Angela's questions - it seemed that he planned to get the answer by asking the gods.

"On the one hand, they acknowledge that God is omnipotent, but on the other hand, they see that God is not omnipotent. As a result, they can only choose explanations that can make them feel at ease, and bury their heads in the sand like ostrich."

This is the same everywhere. When people find that what they believe in is not enough to protect them and reassure them, the days they will be abandoned will not be far away.

In fact, Li Lin is doing nothing for most of the time, and traveling with the Paladins prevents him from worrying about unexpected troubles. Moreover, when entering a village or town, the Paladins can pass directly without even needing to review. This is their advantage, and Li Lin naturally does not want to delay his time for such a small trouble. Although he cannot cast magic in front of the Paladins at present, it is still no problem to secretly prepare some spells.

The only thing that is a bit of a flaw is that most Paladins choose to spend the night in the temple, and the sacred aura in the temple is undoubtedly a torment for Angela. But fortunately, she always has a way to resist this annoying power.

The Paladins certainly wouldn't know that whenever they reach a city, someone would become a victim of Angela.

But today, Angela could obviously do what she wants and would not spend the night in the temple.

Because there is no temple here at all.

At present, Li Lin and others have arrived at Descartes, the commercial city closest to the capital of the Magic Empire, which was also the city of the Magic Empire. However, after thousands of years of storms and continuous changes of the power, this city, which was originally beautiful and elegant in Li Lin's mind, has changed greatly. It has become a commercial city, and prosperity has replaced the original peace and tranquility and ruled here, giving new colors.

“We can only find a hotel tonight to stay overnight.”

The Knights of Duncan were obviously very dissatisfied with this, but there was no other way at the moment. Although Descartes, once one of the largest cities in the magic empire, was seriously damaged in that war and the people here did not hate gods, they still stubbornly maintained the tradition of not being allowed to build temples here for thousands of years. This is obviously not a good thing for the believers of God. In fact, even in the temple of the God of Justice, there were many discussions about this, but no one could come up with a good solution. After all, the people here still respected the gods and had faith. They were not believers, nor were they blasphemous evildoers. But that was their tradition.

“After passing here, we will never have any supplies.”

He focused on the knight behind him, Li Lin and others.

"After that cursed war, everything outside the capital of the Magic Empire was transformed into ruins, with only terrible monsters and beasts, ghosts and undead everywhere. We will no longer find places for immoral rest, so this is our last place to supply and rest."

Looking at Duncan, Li Lin soon discovered another problem.

Judging from his tone, he was obviously very familiar with the exploration of the Magic City, but others seemed to have never conducted such exploration. It is naturally a good thing to have an experienced captain, but why not use those experienced players but use these novices?

Thinking of this, Li Lin frowned slightly, and then he whispered to Anjiela a few words, and then patted her head.

At this moment, Duncan had already assigned their mission. Several paladins went to buy supplies, while two priests were responsible for finding accommodation. The rest were free to disband. Just as Mina and Fina were about to leave, Li Lin appeared in front of them.

"I'm very sorry to bother you."

He smiled apologetically, and Mina immediately turned her face coldly and turned her head. Fina looked at her sister in surprise, and then focused her eyes on Li Lin again.

"Mr. Li Lin, are you doing something?"

“That’s how it is.”

Li Lin unconsciously moved his fingers.

"You two also know that I am a person who specializes in the culture of the Magic Empire. Although this city has been changed for thousands of years, it was once a city of the Magic Empire. I want to see here and find out whether I can find any clues about the Magic Empire, and prepare for our approaching dangerous journey. However, what makes me a little worried is that Angela is weak and obviously cannot act with me. Therefore, I want to ask the two to take care of her."

"Of course, Mr. Li Lin."

Holding Angela's soft and a little cold little hand, Fina couldn't help but remember the intimate contact that day, which made her face turn slightly red. However, Li Lin didn't say anything more, but bowed slightly to leave, then turned around and left.

Li Lin was a little bored after being active with the Paladin for so long. What's more, as a mage, he was not the same as the Paladin. Li Lin advocated a free and unrestrained life, rather than a strict and orderly day. During the Magic Empire, several gods appointed their paladins as the guardian of the mage in order to express their gratitude, but Li Lin politely declined.

At the moment, walking alone in this city made Li Lin feel extremely comfortable.

Although there are not many buildings left during the Magic Empire period, they are much better than not even seeing shadows in other places. At least, there are still some traces here.

However, this was not Li Lin's purpose. The reason why he left was definitely not just because of nostalgia. In Li Lin's memory, there should be an authentic tunnel in this city that directly leads to the capital of the Magic Empire. His current goal is to find that tunnel.

"I hope they are still where they were."

Looking at the changing buildings in front of him, Li Lin had no other way except to pray. Some roads and squares that were originally remembered had become wide houses, while others that were originally wide had changed into straight roads. At present, Li Lin could not even rely on his memory, and could only find the secret passage that did not know whether it still existed through the general direction.

Just as Li Lin turned a street intersection and was about to try to explore the other side, the noise attracted his attention. He just shot casually, and then immediately stood there in a daze. Soon, anger filled the mage's body and mind. Without even the slightest hesitation, he walked towards the place where the noise occurred.

A group of elves were being driven from the other side at this moment, wearing ragged clothes, tied together like livestock. The big man who scolded them waved his whip and whipped them hard. However, even if he was treated like this, the elves did not lower their proud heads. Their and their born character drove them to retain their own self-esteem, but this was also the reason for their suffering.

"Hurry up, you slaves!"

A fat businessman with almost no neck was walking in front of him with difficulty, and his calves could hardly support such a heavy body. But when Li Lin stopped him, the businessman had to stop and look up at the tall and thin young man - he didn't like this.

"Hey, what's the matter? Boy?"

He took a breath with difficulty and looked at the elf behind him.

"I'm rushing to ship the goods."

"How much?"

Li Lin didn't say anything, but asked in a low voice, which made the fat businessman stunned.

"You want to buy these elves?"

He frowned.

"This is not in accordance with the rules, the guest. I finally caught this group of elves and planned to ship them to the west for sale. I even ordered a good cargo ship for them!"

Li Lin didn't say much. He opened his hands and three red gems emitted a warm light in the center of his palm.

The fat businessman was furious. He had never seen such a pure gem. But in just a moment, he was surprised to be replaced by the temptation brought by huge wealth. He turned his eyes and narrowed slightly. It was obvious that the customer was very anxious (or very lustful). He would actually ask for so many elves to go back at a time... Moreover, so rich... this is rare. And looking at his appearance, he seemed to be in a hurry to ask for it...

“This won’t work, guest.”

The fat businessman waved his hand.

"Many customers on the west side are waiting for this batch of goods. They are all old customers, I..."

Li Lin didn't say much, his palm stretched out, and this time, two more diamonds were added between his fingers.

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The fat merchant did not finish his words, because at this moment Li Lin had already pressed his shoulders, and a cold chill swept across the fat merchant's body. This made him tremble. At this moment, there was another emerald in Li Lin's hand. He didn't say anything, but the meaning shown in those eyes was self-evident.

"Of course, I think they will be satisfied with such compensation..."

The merchant trembled, then took the gem, and then barely showed a passionate smile. After all, he could not buy his life back no matter how much it cost.

"Where do you want me to send them?"
