Chapter 72 The old knight(1/2)
Just as the net was on, Kate opened his eyes six times
As a Paladin, he is still very young, but Kate already has considerable practical experience and has never stopped training in combat skills. Kate has always been serious about the Paladin's humility, courage and rational creed to act. Although it has not never failed, the unique perseverance of young people can enable him to stand up from repeated failures and achieve higher achievements.
Although after learning about the invasion of the undead army, Kate was as indignant as other paladins, and wanted to go there to save innocent people facing death threats. But because his level was too low, and his teacher, Paladin Varast, did not want him to go to fight. Because Valast believed that the strategy of the temple was too bold and unscheming, it was very likely to fail, so it prevented Valast's action. Of course, Valast's decision was not unavailable inside the temple.
After arguing, some people think that he is greedy for life and death, and some people think that he is disrespectful to gods. However, after the failure of the Temple of the Gods in the Federation, no one dares to say anything. Those clergy who originally thought that Valast was afraid of death now had to rely on his help to survive the current difficulties. Of course, although Kate saw this matter in his eyes and kept it in his heart, he did not say anything. He had already made up his mind to win the treatment he deserved for Lord Valast with practical actions.
This time the trial of the temple was the best opportunity. Like all young paladins, Valast dreamed of seeing His Highness Catherine. Therefore, he also tried his best to defeat the opponents who were blocking him.
Thinking of this, Varast couldn't help but look at the long sword hanging by the wall. It was not the sword of the Knights, but the holy sword obtained by Varast from the ruins of a temple. The origin of this holy sword was not very clear even by the knowledgeable Varast. However, it exudes powerful sacred power, which can be easily noticed.
Obtaining this sword was also a test for Valast. Before him, many knights tried to pick up the sword, but they were all turned into ashes by the sudden burning silver flame. It was obvious that this holy sword was extremely strict with its master, and not everyone could have a way to own it. However, at that time Valast held it and obtained its ownership.
Of course, Valast himself was not without doubt about this. After all, some of the Paladins before him had better sword skills than him, and some had more qualifications than him, and their faith was no less pious than him. However, the Holy Sword chose itself rather than them. This made Kate very puzzled. Not only that, although this Holy Sword was allowed to be used, if someone picked it up rashly, he would still encounter a catastrophe, which also drove Kate to be more careful to avoid causing disasters.
Sometimes, Kate himself wondered whether this sword is really a sacred existence. Why is its harm so strong that it seems completely uncontrollable? This is completely different from the kindness and justice taught by the gods. He also asked his teacher with this question, but Valast told him a story.
“A long time ago, there was a brave swordsman who alone resisted the pack of wolves that invaded his hometown and rescued his friends and relatives from the minions of those wolves.
He fought hard to kill the enemy, fought bloody battles for three days and three nights, killing all the wolves that originally lived deep in the forest, and you know, what would be his final outcome?"
"What is it? Teacher?"
"He was sent to the gallows and hanged in public."
When Valast told the story, his face was firm.
"Because he believed that the wolves in the forest were a threat to his village, so he killed the wolf king's children and would incur revenge from the wolf pack. The village rules have already clearly stipulated that they should not be enemies with the wolf pack. Before that, the wolves had never invaded the village. It was precisely because the swordsman was too confident in his power that he brought devastating disaster to his village. He broke the rules and destroyed the balance. Because of his own selfishness, many innocent families suffered huge losses and pains. Many people could no longer see their relatives, just because of one person's actions. Although human beings won in the end, this was originally a victory that no one needed."
"But, as you said, he has fought to the death and made meritorious service with crime?"
Kate protested somewhat reluctantly.
"Is his meritorious nose not worthy of the sin he committed? This is unfair!"
"This is not a credit, kid."
Wallast reached out and pressed his hand on his shoulder.
"This is just compensation. That person is just making compensation for the crimes he committed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not let those who had died open their eyes again. Because of his stupid behavior, some people closed their eyes forever and could no longer see this beautiful world. Although his power is indeed powerful enough to kill all the wolves, he still cannot make up for the damage caused by his mistakes."
"Strength is not something that everyone can control, and people with strength may not necessarily master strength. Whether they can control their impulses, and not be deceived by the direction of power, and make the right choice. I think that is the most important thing. After all, the harm of strength does not lie in the power itself, but in the person who manipulates power. Just as for wolves, humans are the murderers who kill their children, that's all." Wallast's speech ends here.
Yingran did not give Kate the answer, but Kate seemed to understand something.
Pulling the sword out of the scabbard, Kate looked at the beautiful silver sword body carefully and couldn't help but sigh. Since he came here, Kate found that the holy sword he owned seemed to have some problems. It emitted soft white light from time to time, as if resonating with something, but Kate didn't notice anything or discover anything. He did not tell himself the truth about this. After all, Lord Valast has been working hard these days to prevent the undead army in the federal territory. It is better not to bother him with such a small matter. What's more, it is his own sword, so he naturally has to figure out what the problem is.
The unexpected battle yesterday surprised everyone, including Kate. After all, Kate had defeated his opponent long ago, which also means that he will face one of the two foreign opponents in the next battle. Originally, Kate himself thought that the weird little girl was likely to become her opponent. After all, her extraordinary speed had completely broken through the limits of humanity. To be fair, Kate did not want to fight with her. Jiang Er is the famous Qi Shi, and he must not retreat because of heat and fear. Therefore, Kate had already prepared mentally before watching the game.
However, this result really made Kate's psychological gap a little. It was like a warrior who had made up his mind to kill the dragon. After making mental preparations and rushing into the dragon's den, he found that the dragon was gone. The feeling of emptiness was indeed uncomfortable. Although Kate did not mean to look down on Li Lin, he subjectively subconsciously believed that the little girl was a few times more difficult than the masked warrior.
But now that things have come to this point, it is useless to think about it more. Kate shook his head, threw those complicated thoughts out of his mind, and then began to practice swords in the house. In any case, the masked warrior should have strong strength to fight here. Although Kate himself is also a very outstanding Knight, he will not underestimate his opponent. Therefore, he must be prepared 120,000 yuan before playing.
At this moment, in the tavern, Angela was shaking her legs proudly, shaking restlessly back and forth on the chair.
I really want to know what the pigs looked like when they didn’t see me yesterday.”
"That was awkward."
Li Lin picked up the bread and replied casually.
"And I'm so happy, especially those clergymen. I promise they will definitely celebrate after they go back."
"Idiots are idiots."
Anjie smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth.
"I will go and see those idiots and stupid things today."
"It's hard for you to endure it for so long in the past few days."
Li Lin said, reaching out to touch Anjiela's hair, while Anjiela narrowed her eyes like a kitten, enjoying Li Lin's caressing.
"After the game, it's your time to play, don't let me down."
"certainly."
Angela proudly and proudly raised her chest.
"Everything is left in my mouth, and these buckets are no match for me at all."
And at this moment, a soft knock on the door sounded.
Although it was still morning, Li Lin didn't seem surprised by the knock on the door. He just picked up the mask and put it on his face again, and then spoke.
"Please come in."
Then, the wooden door slowly opened. A tall and slightly old figure appeared in front of the two of them.
"Long time no see, Mr. Li Lin."
Valast walked into the room and spoke to Li Lin wearing a mask.
"I think you may have recognized the wrong person, Mr. Paladin."
Li Lin smiled and gently tapped the desktop with his fingers.
"I don't know you, and my name is Li Lin, either."
"I'm still very confident in my memory. Although I'm a little old, it's not the time to be old and confused."
Valast smiled.
"And, you didn't change your accent in particular."
“My name is not Li Lin.
”
Li Lin did not respond to the arrival of Valast, but made a gesture to ask the old Paladin to sit down. Angela also lay lazily on the bed with a playful look, staring at the old Paladin in front of her.
"Of course, you can continue to call me Li Lin, or you can call me "Arcane Sorcerer, as you like."
Hearing this, Valast's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands suddenly zipped, but soon returned to normal and sat in front of Li Lin.
"It seems you've known it a long time ago?"
Li Lin was not surprised to take the old Paladin's actions in his eyes.
"You have issued a war letter to the Five Nations Alliance in your name, Lord Arcane Magician."
Valast still smiled, not seemingly changing because of Li Lin's identity.
"Our temple naturally also received this information. To be honest, I never thought that the young man I met in Kudr would be the successor of the magic empire."
"I think you made one mistake, Mr. Wallast."
Li Lin changed his posture calmly.
"I am not the heir. What you see in front of you is not my real posture. I am a real arcane wizard who is just like a fake one." The former magic empire and the current magic empire ruler. If you come here and are planning to say something nonsense to me, then you can avoid it."
,Small
Hearing this, Valast's expression condensed, and then he nodded again.
"I understand, then, I won't talk much nonsense. Lord Arcane, I want to go straight to the point, what exactly do you want to do when you come to Kudell?"
"War, massacre."
Li Lin put down the cup at hand. "At least not today, not now, can you rest assured?"
"Then you,"
Valast frowned. He didn't know what to say. In fact, the reason why Valast could guess Li Lin's identity was because of Angela. It was because Angela did not appear in yesterday's game that the old Paladin became suspicious. Then, he found out the people he met in the capital of Kudr from the record. Although Angela's temperament did not match the time and was very different from that time, the iconic red-eyed and white hair was the same. What's more, although Li Lin wore a mask, his height, body shape and voice did not change specifically, so the old Paladin soon came to the hotel where they lived so early to inquire about the situation.
Although Li Lin did not report his name when he met Kudell, Valast was not an idiot. He had long seen from the fat merchant's eyes that this young man was the real commander behind the dark elves. Because of this, he specially sent someone to investigate Li Lin and got his name. But he did not expect that he would be an arcane wizard and the ruler of the magic empire. It was precisely because of this that Valast came here on his own initiative, not only for this country, but also for his students. After all, his opponent today is this terrible arcane wizard.
"Why are you going to participate in this game in the temple?"
"I'm bored, relax yourself."
Then, Li Lin shrugged.
"So I don't plan to attack Kudell now, are you satisfied? Mr. Wallast?"
"You are a smart person, so I don't need to say it clearly."
Watching the silent Varast Li Lin smiled.
"If you dare to take action, Angela and I don't mind attacking in advance. You wouldn't think that just a few hundred paladins can stop us? When we come here, we will naturally be able to help the murderer. However, the young master of the car is not taking your life now. I can do six, so I hope you can make wise choices and not make too troublesome actions."
"Of course I understand this."
Valast shook his head helplessly.
"I will not get these innocent civilians involved in our disputes because of my own momentary judgment. Lord Arcane Sorcerer, I just want to know your true intention. If you have anything to do with my help, I think I can serve you without damaging the principle."
"Is this to save your life?"
Angela suddenly asked.
"Are you willing to do anything to protect your life?"
"I just hope both of you can leave soon."
