Lord of Glory

"Ah! Father, you are here, and so is the captain. Come and see, why did my father commit suicide!" As soon as the two of them went up to the second floor, an elegant-looking middle-aged woman immediately rushed over and started wailing. . A trace of disgust flashed across Paladin's expression, and he turned sideways to avoid the woman's breasts. He looked at the people present. They were the old housekeeper with a sad look on his face, and his grandson who was just a teenager looking at Nari's body curiously. There was also an uncle who looked like a mercenary wearing armor and carrying a two-handed sword.

Ignoring the housekeeper and the child, Paladin looked at the mercenary very carefully. The armor that reflects white light covers the body tightly. Occasionally, dark chain mail can be seen through the gaps in the armor. Wear a helmet that covers your face.

If it weren't for the fact that the armor didn't have any crests or markings on it. Paladin would have thought this was a noble private soldier or a knight. However, the obvious pattern of four stars carved on his chest told Paladin that this big man was qualified as a four-star warrior at least. Although he is still unable to compare with the great magician, he is also a relatively rare master among warriors. But seeing that he didn't even take off his helmet, he must be someone who just came back not long ago.

With this thought in mind, Paladin walked over calmly and saw Nari's body lying on the ground in horror. The room was beautifully decorated with silverware, and there were still ropes floating in the wind. Paladin knelt down with a frown. He pretended to look at the body and then stood up. Staring at the mercenary, he said, "Who are you? What is your relationship with the owner of the house, Nari?"

After getting rid of the nagging middle-aged woman, Kalechi immediately stepped forward and introduced: "This is my friend Harvey. He is currently employed by the principality. He is the leader of a hundred people." As soon as he finished speaking, Paladin immediately frowned and looked at Kalec. The questioning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious. In the current period when Nurba's people in power have been wiped out, you actually brought your friends with you, and you also brought a hundred soldiers to the battlefield. The implications of this made Paladin feel very uncomfortable.

When Paladin saw Kalechi chuckled and turned his head away from him, he suddenly looked at Harvey with a welcoming smile and said, "Mercenaries hired by the principality? Is the principality about to go to war? This place does not border with other countries. , Captain Harvey, what’s the matter with bringing a hundred people here?”

Nurba is just a small town. If you bring a hundred people here, are you going to take advantage of all the benefits that are not enough? But obviously this Harvey didn't understand at all, or understood the meaning of Paladin's words. Ignoring the problem of fighting, he put one hand on his chest and said: "The soldiers under my hand are not well equipped with equipment. I heard that Nurba is a nearby place where iron ore is transported, so I wanted to ask my old friend Kalech to make twenty pairs of armor."

Paladin raised his brows and looked at Kalec who nodded slightly. Paladin immediately smiled brightly, stepped forward and patted Harvey, who was a head taller than him, and slapped the shoulder pads on his shoulders: "Harvey Sir, you are really rich! Twenty pairs of armors, do you want half-body or full-body armor? Chain armor or plate armor?" Harvey raised his head and looked at Kalechi with obvious doubts. He didn't know how this incomprehensible priest dared to interfere in such a thing. You know, all the iron ore in Nurba is sold to the principality, and the crime of selling it to others privately is not big or small. It's small, it's just a small fine. If you are serious, you will be hanged!

However, Harvey's doubts were wiped away by Kalechi. Kalechi walked up to the two of them with a smile, and lowered his voice: "Brother Harvey, as the shepherd of our Nurba, the priest has the right to know about our work for justice." Don’t worry, Nurba has his share. Speak up.

Harvey was about to speak, but Paladin stopped him with his hand. With a gentle smile on his face, he said: "Let's wait until the matter here is settled. Let's have a good talk with Mr. Harvey later." After saying that, seeing Harvey nodding in agreement, Paladin walked to the table next to him. I picked up the suicide note and pretended to read it several times. Then he said with disgust: "It turns out that Nari, Kira and Doren'er are the real heretics. Captain, you know what to do."

As soon as Paladin finished speaking, Kalechi immediately snorted, and with a hint of ferocity, he pulled out his long sword and pointed it at the panicked housekeeper and women and shouted: "Guards! These are all heretics! Take them all away and imprison them." Go to jail!" A few people downstairs immediately ran up with weapons and high spirits. They were very excited because they heard from the captain that they would be given bonuses as soon as this matter was settled. That’s a full gold coin!

Paladin watched coldly as several guards pulled the crying woman and the frightened housekeeper away with a grim smile, just as they were about to drag them out. The woman miserably hugged Paladin's feet and begged in an unbearable way: "Father, Captain! I didn't know that Dad was a heretic, I really didn't know! Please, be kind." Give me a way to survive! At least, at least pray for dad! May he return to the embrace of God!"

Paladin frowned in annoyance. Seeing that there were no other outsiders present, he immediately shook his feet and threw away the woman's hand. But the woman did not give up and pulled Paladin's trousers again, which finally made Paladin angry.

Paladin raised his right foot and stepped hard on the back of the woman's hand. Ignoring the woman's screams caused by severe pain, she twisted her feet vigorously and said with a gloomy smile: "Him? Pray for him? This heretic? Hahahaha! I tell you, no matter if he is a heretic or not, I will I won’t pray for him! The teachings are clearly recorded. People who commit suicide cannot return to the embrace of God. They can only be pulled by the chains of sin and fall into the mouth of the dark heretic god Belair! They will be tortured forever!" After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked away the woman's leaning forehead. He ignored the blood on her forehead and shouted angrily: "Take her away quickly! I can't stand the heresy in this bitch for a moment!"

It wasn't until the woman's screams gradually faded away that Paladin said calmly: "Please, you two. Find a quiet place and talk slowly." Harvey looked at Paladin leisurely downstairs with an ugly expression, and couldn't bear it. He lowered his voice and said to Kalech, who was accustomed to being next to him: "Kalech, is this guy really a priest? I have traveled all over the world and have seen some, but I have never seen something like this..."

"Okay, okay, Harvey. All you need is the armor. Don't think about anything else. You know, every time I see him, I feel cold all over." Harvey nodded in agreement. nod. He followed Kalechi downstairs with a lingering fear. At the same time, he secretly muttered in his heart: "You are so vicious at a young age, but fortunately you are not my enemy."

PS: Okay, as long as I don’t gnaw and you all don’t say anything... If you have time, you can help me and recommend it here and there.
