Chapter 455 Puzzles and the Sorrow of the Paladin

After all, Henry wasn't one of those guys who had no self-control ability. It took only a few minutes for him to regain his previous composure, and his silver eyes shone with wisdom again. He smiled at his worried teammates: "Don't worry, my mind is very clear, and I won't delay the mission because of other things."

"That said, I feel much more relieved. You must know that even if you are the team leader and the strongest person in the team, once something goes wrong, the investigation may not be able to proceed." After Kaidong said this , immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that the reason why the temple and the Knights were willing to pay such a high price was because they took a fancy to the powerful power of the legendary spellcaster. As long as there are no major accidents, with the diversity of magic, it is enough to deal with various dangers that may arise at any time.

"Now let me see what's going on here." Henry stepped up the steps alone and stood where the circular building broke.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, followed by a deep voice, who asked loudly: "The bridge has been broken and ended in death. Call its name, call out the road to pass, what is the bridge?"

Obviously, this is a riddle or a code, and only those who know the answer can pass it, otherwise various punishments will turn everyone who tries to crack it into a corpse. Similar situations are very common in the ruins of Faerun Continent. It is very difficult to test the knowledge and observation skills of adventurers. Many people who are clueless are not willing to take this risk at all. But it wasn't a problem for Henry at all. As a person who had played the entire game dozens of times, it was simply too easy. Without even thinking about it, he replied: "Every living thing goes through life from birth to death. So since death is the end. Then life is my answer."

"Life is a bridge that ends in death. Duty may delay it. You have spoken of the bridge, but that is not enough. You are not alone on the bridge, call its name, call the passing The road. It follows you like a shadow, and you can move forward through it, but it will leave in the end, who is walking with you?" The voice from the sky asked again.

Henry smiled and continued to answer: "Everyone will go through countless years from birth to death, and it goes with you like a shadow. But it will take everything away in the end, so time is my answer."

Perhaps the ceremony reached its climax, and the voices in the sky suddenly became impassioned. "Time is with you, but it is also constantly leaving. Time is not forgiving, and one day you will die completely. But the bridge is not yet stable, and the end is still changing. Call its name, call out The road, chooses his most difficult step on the bridge." "All roads start with choices, and no one can make choices for another, so this step is all my own. The choice." Henry said with a firm look in his eyes.

He can feel it. This is no ordinary puzzle, but a test of one's faith. If you can't strengthen your confidence, then the bridge formed in the end may be broken with a light touch.

"The current step may be your first step, or it may be your last step. The other two are abstract, only this step belongs to you, but responsibility may force you to make a choice. Go forward A new path has appeared, welcome to join the guardians, greater responsibilities are waiting for you." After speaking, everyone heard a sound of stones rubbing against each other, followed by a sudden burst of noise in the middle of the building that had been divided into two. A stone slab bridge emerged, with countless strange symbols engraved on it.

Kaidong touched his gray hair, said with a wry smile: "Life and death, time and responsibility, this is really a heavy topic. I suddenly feel a little old, maybe I will choose to retire after this task is over That's a nice note."  …

Seri Love was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why? I also want to learn more from you, so as to ensure that I will not be tempted by evil in the future."

As a novice, what she needs most now is the teaching from her seniors, otherwise she might be framed without knowing it. After all, Paradise Mountain is a place that advocates order and kindness. Seri Love, who grew up there, has never seen the dangers of the human heart. If it weren't for the paladins who are naturally very impressed with evil, I am afraid that such a pure and beautiful girl would have been instilled. Get some magic potions and the like, and sell them to people with special hobbies.

Don't think that no one dares to do it because of the God of Justice's favor. In Faerun Continent, those evil people with powerful power dare to plot against the gods themselves, let alone a mere tenth-level paladin. They would be happy to see young paladin girls being forcibly defiled and tortured, leading to the collapse of faith and degeneration, and finally becoming the dark guards who serve evil gods.

Kaidong sighed slightly, touched the girl's long black hair comfortingly and sighed: "My child, I have served the Knights for more than 30 years, and I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a paladin. Due to the busy Tasks, I seldom spend time with my wife and children at home, and I don’t even have time to eat together, so I plan to spend the rest of my time as a husband and father.”

After hearing this sentence, Henry suddenly felt that the paladins were really pitiful enough, and being their family members was even more pitiful. Not only do you have to be in fear for a long time, but you also have to endure not going home all year round. This kind of cruel life can only be maintained in this world with a true god. If the earth is changed, those who should have cheated long ago have cheated, and those who should have remarried will have remarried.

I really don’t know how many ignorant girls were deceived by those bards’ love stories about paladins. They spent all their good youth on these elm bumps. The time I can spend alone with my husband is pitiful.

Perhaps this is the reason why Kaidong was extremely angry when he learned of his wife's cheating in the game, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He also knows that he owes the whole family too much, and he has no right to blame anyone.

It can be said that every paladin family is respectable. From husband to wife to children, they are all silently dedicating their lives. For this reason, they are even willing to live in an extremely unhealthy environment. In today's words, They are lacking in family affection, which can easily cause psychological depression. This is probably one of the main reasons for the degeneration of paladins. After all, most human beings long for a complete family. Once an accident occurs, it will inevitably leave serious psychological trauma.

(In Neverwinter Nights, Erebes was also hit hard by the death of his fiancé, and was finally tempted by evil gods and degenerated into a dark guard. This shows how important family and relatives are to a paladin. It can be said that the heart The last safe haven. If something happens to this safe haven, then they may just turn around and take crazy revenge on the gods they used to believe in.)

"Okay, don't worry about my old man's retirement anymore. Let's move forward quickly and reach the altar in front of us as soon as possible to see what the legendary artifact looks like." Kaidong held the first holy avenger Cross the stone bridge and walk towards the tunnel ahead. For him, this mission is likely to be the last, so he must definitely go all out to draw a successful conclusion to his career.

Everyone had just stepped over the circular building in the middle, and before they had gone far, they noticed the enemy. A team composed of three huge adult beholders and two much smaller Gauss beholders was slowly walking along the passage. Move forward, fortunately no one was found, otherwise, after a round of magic firing, I am afraid that except for Henry and Imen, the Son of God, the rest of the people will lose their fighting power even if they are not killed.

"How is it possible?! How did these beholders pass the bridge behind them!" Hina asked in a low voice. She couldn't believe it, these beholders were able to force their way through that terrifying notch, it was simply unbelievable.

Henry smiled slightly, and explained in a low voice: "It's very simple, each beholder can form a fixed anti-magic stance around its body, generally speaking, as long as it is not a pointing spell, it can be forcibly repelled through it. Although the power of the nick behind us is great, it is still magical energy in essence, so it is normal for these guys to pass through."

Hina nodded in a sudden realization, and then immediately asked: "Then what should we do now, follow secretly or..." At this point, she raised her hand and made a throat-slitting motion,

"Of course we have to kill, and none of them can be let go. Before the two halves of the artifact are in hand, we must not let the blind eye get any information." Henry drew out the long knife hanging from his waist. For this artifact, he must die, and absolutely no mistakes will be allowed. After all, the next step is to sneak into the beholder's lair, and if the news leaks out, it may fall into a terrible siege.

"Imon, you are in charge of the small Gauss beholder on the left, and Seri Love is in charge of the one on the right. As for the three adult beholders in the middle, Kaidong and Xina each choose one, and I will handle the final one. As for Yao En, you should be ready to support at any time." Henry calmly assigned combat tasks to everyone, which was his responsibility as a team leader and mage.

In order to achieve a one-shot fatal effect, everyone drank a bottle of "invisibility potion", and then began to approach the target silently. What they are going to face is one of the most terrifying creatures in Faerun Continent. Even just looking at them will cause "shock", "slowness", "petrification", "paralysis", "fixation", "control", etc. Wait for a series of negative states.

Almost all adventurers know that the best way to encounter this kind of monster is to attack it from behind. Once the weapon cuts off the nerves connected under the main eye, the beholder will no longer be able to fire those terrifying magic rays. Of course, in addition to the eyes, their large mouths full of fangs also need to be extra careful. If they are bitten... definitely much more serious than most carnivores.
