Chapter 66 Paladin girl, and the power of the abyss?
Today is Monday, so I can say that, as usual, I asked for some recommendation votes. I recently subscribed for some inexplicable reasons, so I asked for comfort.
Also, I told my friends about "" that copying and pasting is OK, but don't modify the previous version... I always feel awkward when I see the result of not using it.
It's messy later, it'll be changed later

Even though Faen is an emerging trading port within a radius of hundreds of miles, it cannot escape the development laws of this era. After more than ten miles away from the city, it is already a wasteland with no stopping, except for the clusters of weeds.
The remote mound is a road where soil is compacted, but it will still raise yellow sand and dust. Even if there are occasionally one or two trees, the branches and leaves that grow freely will fall and twist due to the destruction of wind and rain. Even if the spring rain nourishes, it will be difficult.
Green as a cover.
However, riding a horse and wandering in the wilderness under the blue sky and white clouds is still a refreshing thing. The breeze blows and the vision is vast. Even the chill that has not yet faded from the air makes people feel refreshed.
Cool.
If the team can move a little slower, or if it is not riding a horse but driving, it will undoubtedly be closer to a comfortable hike.
"How long will we have to go?"
The eyes swept across the green fields in the distance, but there was no trace of people. Only a line far away in the sky showed some gray colors similar to the cultivated land. Edward frowned and endured.
He kept asking, supporting his body and leaving the thigh part that had become hot due to friction a little distance from the saddle. Although he was not resistant to this way of transporting animals, he could not talk about it.
I like it...especially when the time has reached a certain level.
But this question was quickly drowned in the sound of horse hooves.
Whether it was the mage who was also covered in his robe beside him or the group of guard knights who were several positions behind, they seemed to have put all their energy on this journey. So Edward had to tell him
Pull the reins and slow yourself down a little to get close to the small group that speaks the most in the team.
"…No one has detected where the center point is in this evil ritual?"
Miss Lisa was now brimming with the young paladin. Although she covered her face with a thick piece of gauze to prevent dust, she could still hear the clever smile in her voice.
Well, I have to say that this Lord Paladin is indeed an ideal conversation partner for women... young, handsome, mighty, extraordinary. He also has a noble and special identity, and a seamless temperament that matches it with, just like
The protagonists in the stories that the bard often hears—even the names are like those people. A word that is obviously a pseudonym is used.
It's so slutty...
"Of course the first choice for holding such evil rituals should be the temple of evil gods. These cowardly, sinister and cunning existences often build their evil nests away from people, or at least from kind and civilized places...
They like a tower or stone tower that stands alone in the wilderness, and then protect it with creepy terrible monsters... But this time, they are likely to have built it in the center of an evil town.
This is also the reason why the city lord gathered most of the paladin spell casters and half of the troops to conduct separate searches."
The young paladin replied, only the stereotypes in the words reminded of the way some materials were written: "Of course, those cultists usually cannot build their filthy nests in the sun, but choose not to think of them.
The secret place. The old barn underground. The abandoned warehouse, or someone’s backyard... there may be evil temples everywhere. Therefore, we must be careful…”
"But I don't think we need to worry too much, after all, this time, we have Lord Ailin walking with us. She is one of the most outstanding paladins in the temple of His Majesty Ransendall in the past ten years.
She will surely guide us to eradicate these sluts who fell into evil.”
"Missing. Lord Hawke."
He paused. It seemed that intentionally or unintentionally that he was still conveying the topic to the female paladin on the other side. However, compared to his eagerness in his words, the other party's answer was only a matter of politeness.
Edward couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Her performance was as usual, or, in other words, more sophisticated and calm. Even though she was covered in armor and drove in, her calm eyes were still under the mask and always observed the situation around her, and she always held her sword to keep it in mind.
Take necessary vigilance.
But although he did not deliberately show his identity, he did not hide it, especially the names of each other... But along the way, the female paladin did not seem to have any intention of communicating with him, which made Edward
I have a feeling of "having recognized the wrong person"?
Alas, forget it, it seems...or something is just an illusion of oneself?
When humans face crises, their emotions will easily be moved by the opposite sex who are present at the same time - it seems to be called the suspension bridge effect? In fact, Edward does not deny that he developed a certain degree of favorable feeling when he saw Elena's true face, but...
...In fact, that's the case. When we meet by chance, we smile by laughing. Even if we appreciate it, we will not create a scene of searching for each other at the end of the world.
Although he really wanted to become a mage, he didn't want to spend his life searching like the legendary master who rode a dragon all over the continent...
Or is this better?
Throwing the unpleasant feeling in my mind aside. Edward tried to distract himself,
But now there seems to be nothing to think about.
This time his mission seemed even more troublesome than expected - the mage named Isaac must be of high level and is not restricted by the conscript order. He had asked the mage in the team before.
None of the names of all the mages called in the city are called this name.
Anonymous seclusion? Or is it a pseudonym used? Or, because of identity, the mage was unwilling to tell him about these information involving certain issues?
It seems all possible.
"Stop. I've discovered it."
A command suddenly sounded, directing everyone's attention to the front of his vision.
Edward's eyes extended forward, landing on the shadow in the distance, and then raised his eyebrows happily - it was obvious that this lasted for two or three hourglass time, and the depressing journey of wandering around the wilderness, finally
It's over.
A strange shadow was revealed on the floor at this time.
As the distance gradually approaches, you will notice that the shadow is just a few cows - but this cow is very different from the image in the memory of ordinary people.
They did not gather like herds of cattle, but were scattered a considerable distance. Edward could tell that it was at least half bigger than an ordinary cow! Not only that, it was the whole body.
The fur seemed to be stained with some kind of skin disease. It showed traces of dark red skin and the twisted muscles below it, shoulders, back, and legs, and a sharp white bone plate extending from the forehead.
The two cows were extremely thick, almost exceeding two feet in length, and even a bone spur stretched out from the center of the skull!
Notice the arrival of a group of knights, the monster-like guy had a striking red light flashing in his eyes, and he lowered his head alertly in the direction of the crowd, and his nose was filled with white air.
The wind glanced over. The strong smell of sulfur made Edward frown... Generally speaking, this thing is called a fierce animal and cannot be regarded as a rare thing. Deep in the mountains, it is subject to some unique things.
There is a weak possibility that some such animals will be produced due to geographical factors.
However, although ferocious animals are alienated from ordinary animals, this alienation should have been somewhat stringent. According to the mages, there are only places where magical energy is abnormally distributed, such as some of the Whispering Forest.
At the junction of the block, there is a relatively dense magical area of magic networks. Now, it is wandering in ordinary wilderness. This situation seems a bit tricky.
In fact, there is nothing scary about a few fierce bulls. Even if Edward encounters it alone, it can be easily done. However, this situation reminds him of the lizard people not long ago - the development and utilization rate of land in this plane is still low
. Basically, there are wild beasts and monsters appearing for more than ten or twenty miles away from the city. If a large number of mutated monsters appear... No, even ordinary creatures that mutate like this, the number of them is enough to threaten the safety of this team.
.
Or luckily, his current identity is just a low-level mage, and among this group of people, he can only be regarded as an assistant to the middle-aged mage - the task is also very simple, which is to manipulate a sound transmission gem and go to the city at any time.
Report the situation. Although he was not optimistic about his ability, the middle-aged mage was obviously not bad. He told him some things to pay attention to about his tasks and things to do in the field... At the end, he didn't forget to remind him to meet him
Try to stay behind when you are in danger.
But not everyone seems to think so.
"His Excellency Edward, have you discovered anything?" As everyone expected, the female paladin pointed her target at the person who was not very eye-catching as soon as she spoke.
So everyone's eyes also nailed the person, and inevitably, their expressions were a little strange.
At this moment, even if you ask for advice, it seems that you should choose the older mage. As for the young man shrouded in the gray and black robe... do they know each other?
Among them, the expressions and eyes of the paladins are naturally the most amazing.
Along the way, they did not pay much attention to the person who joined halfway, or the half-elf girl who was also a priest, which attracted their already lack of attention, and this young man in gray and black robe.
Although people claim to be from that college, they are just apprentices after all. Tuminis was founded by that college, so some rules in the college are naturally known, even if they are not widely circulated, they can be concealed.
Can't stay with these characters who are also walking in the mysterious realm.
And the identity of the girl paladin is indeed... unappreciable.
These things may be influenced by far-reaching power.
Among many other worlds, there is one place that must be mentioned, that is the abyss, a country where chaos and evil never stops. Charred soil, burning fire clouds, flowing magma, and sulfur-filled air, this is almost the entire abyss
The whole picture of this environment should of course have endless horror. Various violent, greedy, fickle and degenerate purgatory creatures live in the abyss. Demons are the natural masters of it.
Demons do not like their nemesis, the devil, like tempting mortals. Their personalities are ten times more fierce than the most violent Dixinglong, but this does not mean they have no wisdom. Demons have the darkest nature, destruction, and destruction.
, violent and chaotic, but there are many mortals who worship demons in order to seek strength, but there are very few successful ones among them.
"Speaking of this, who is the wizard who was next to the city lord before? It seems to be very powerful?"
"That is the city lord's consultant. The senior mage, Lord Enwei, is also the president of the Magic Guild here."
But in his opinion, the President, who is called Enwei, is really a useless guy - the consequences of such a large spell ritual have already erupted near Farn City, and he has not provided any clues.
, it is only proposed to use such an inefficient way to conduct carpet-style searches. The ability is obviously limited... Although he is respected as the ** Master, it is probably just a material for a high-level mage who has opened his real name. I want to
I'm afraid it will take more than ten or even decades of hard work to be worthy of that title...
Or he wouldn't be able to do this in his entire life, otherwise he wouldn't have left the Mage Academy and ran to this harbor city to serve a small city lord...
Will a magic ritual that can cover the entire area for dozens or hundreds of miles apart be the work of a group of ordinary sluts?
As long as you have some common sense of magic, you will know that the answer is of course no. This must be a part of some spellcasters, and it must be a very strong spellcaster, or even a team of spellcasters.
But even on this continent of swords and magic, the number of spellcasters is not very large.
The casters here are not among some yys, they can exist infinitely under certain conditions. They can be like cabbage in autumn. If they don’t get away, they will simply be used as fertilizer... They have always been elites of a rare population.
, the stronger the ability, the less it is. Even the Tuminis Empire, which has prosperous magic, is not easy to find a group of mages, except for the vicinity of the capital. If you want to find a group of high-level mages with real names... then
This is only possible in the Magic Academy.
Even the shadow of the magic kingdom, the number of spellcasters with official identity in the Kingdom of Tuminis has just exceeded 20,000, of which less than 4,000 mages are less than 4,000. Among them, there are nearly half or even more than half.
They are just non-traditional mages trained after the establishment of the Magic Academy. The qualifications are destined to be the reason for their qualifications. They will never be able to climb the mountainside of the magic peak throughout their lives, and they can even wander forever after the gate.
In the eyes of those real mages, they are just existences who can only throw fireballs and lightning, and can barely be considered spellcasters.
As for the remaining nearly two thousand people, it sounds like a large number, but there are actually only a few high-level people. After being occupied by the Mage Academy, there are hundreds of strategic forces that are cultivated by the empire.
The number of seven counties, provinces and four autonomous regions becomes particularly thin. What's more, the nobles in the capital usually like to raise one or even several high-level mages as a symbol of power.
And the pastors...
Although there are quite a few priests on the continent, they usually do not do such things... The purpose of gods is usually simple and clear, and the stronger the gods are, the more they are bound by rules.
,Their behavior usually has grand plans, rather than terrorists like small fuss.
Well, I have to say that conspiracy theory is a very dark charm. It can be made out of nothing, become alive in death, and prove a ridiculous topic to life. But it is also a very technical job... well
, the auspicious and auspicious emperor will save the safety of the family and the house.
Under the rule of free thought, it is believed that the world is full of fools, and that only one is a wise man, is not without it. Of course, it is not possible to deny that evil spellcasters may also gather secretly.
But what is the ultimate goal of this spellcaster or team? Just creating a large number of ferocious animals or demonizing a group of monsters is obviously not a main target.
Then, of course, it is to exchange for something...
As one of the largest harbor cities in the south, it has a large population, but it has also led to the high level of religion. The sun god, the goddess of luck, the goddess of wealth, and the lady of happiness all built temples here, but it is also because of this that the temple here
There is no situation where one family is dominant, and no matter which god's faith is, it is difficult to attract more believers, so the scale of the temple is maintained at a position that is neither up nor down.
Or there should be some influence of secular forces... After all, a religion with many believers is not good for any rule, so the city lords and nobles are very willing to see a large number of temples competing with each other, and they are fence-bearing.
They also mediate in a central manner, and gain enough benefits from them with rewards and punishments.
