Noble Emblem

Tina smiled bitterly and continued: "That's really not the case. I really like him, but I can't distinguish between reality and fiction. Cook is really powerful. You should be careful and don't get hurt. It's too heavy. But actually, don't worry too much, he... has a good heart, and he probably won't hurt you too badly."

When Elena heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "You mean, I will definitely lose."

Uh... Tina was speechless immediately. She really felt that way.

Seeing Tina's appearance, Elena suddenly became angry: "Okay, tomorrow I will beat your little man severely."

Tina originally wanted to say, you'd better be more careful, but she felt that if she kept saying that, Elena might be even more angry, so she gave up the idea.

On the other side, Beta read a book for a while after washing up. Just as he was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, it was Heaman and others who came together. They looked a little unhappy and confused.

Beta probably guessed what was going on and asked them to come in and sit down.

After sitting down, the four people did not mince words. Seaman asked directly: "Mr. Cook, what is the duel between you and Ms. Elena? Didn't we make an appointment to go out on a mission together tomorrow?"

Beta nodded and said: "Of course I remember, that's why she and I made an appointment at eight o'clock. We made an appointment at nine o'clock. After the duel, I have enough time to go to the tavern to meet you."

Bradley, the middle-aged shield warrior, touched his mustache and said, "What if you lose? If you get injured, it will affect our actions."

Beta looked at the expressions of these people and knew that they all felt that they were destined to lose.

This idea is normal. After all, the paladin profession is too high-end for ordinary people.

Beta didn't want to argue with them, saying that he would definitely win. He just said: "I can also heal magic. Even if I lose and get injured, I just need to heal it. Besides, the distance to where the mission needs to go takes two days. During these two days, if I am injured, , which can ensure recovery before arriving at the mission location, and will not affect the team’s schedule.”

Everyone in the He-Man team looked at each other and exchanged opinions with tacit understanding. Finally, Bradley said: "Well, since you have mentioned this, Your Excellency, we have nothing to say. Here, I can only wish you victory in the duel."

People who come from the mercenary world are not afraid of too much trouble, but they are afraid that when things get too much, some people will be unwilling to take the responsibility and assign the responsibilities and consequences to the members of the team.

Now that Beta has thought about what he should do, it would be useless for them to talk any more.

The four of them left Beta's room, and the archer said something unreasonable: "It's really uncooperative. If you want to duel with the paladin, you have to inform us first. Is such a person really suitable to be our teammate?" "

Seaman also said from the side: "He should discuss it with us. After all, he is now considered a member of our team. It is not good to make judgments alone like this."

Bradley answered from the side: "This is normal. We have just let him join the team, and we have not even had a single mission together, let alone the issue of whether to integrate or not. Let's see what happens tomorrow. I think that kid, He seems quite confident.”

Seaman said from the side: "This is unlikely. The other party is a paladin."

"The paladin is indeed powerful, but he is not invincible." Bradley smiled, his voice a little old: "As far as I know, there are many examples of paladin being killed alone for hundreds of years. At least most of them Swordsmen can barely compete with them.”

Everyone no longer refutes, after all, the Great Swordsman is indeed a relatively powerful profession.

Bradley continued: "In fact, after reaching the true legendary level, the deterrent power of magicians is greater than that of paladins."

Seaman is also a magician. He sighed and said: "But if it's a one-on-one fight, the paladin is still more powerful. We magicians are only good at group attacks and are more useful on the battlefield."

Bradley smiled and said: "Anyway, I think Cook still has hope of winning. At this time, the tavern should have opened a money line. I'll buy a few bets for Cook to win."

"I will buy Ms. Elena with all my belongings." Seaman snorted: "She is a paladin, there is no way she will lose. This time I am waiting to make a big profit."

The archers and thieves on the side also expressed their intention to suppress Elena with all their belongings.

"It's a small gambling pleasure, just place some small bets." Bradley smiled: "If you lose, won't you have to line up to go to the rooftop?"

"It's impossible to lose!"

Seaman chuckled, turned around and walked towards the pub. The other three followed behind.

Time soon came to the next day. Beta woke up, stretched out, and looked out the window. The sky was slightly bright. I washed up slowly, sat and read for a while, and set off to the training ground around 7:30.

Along the way, I met a few bright priests. There was disdain for clowns in their eyes, but also a sense of joy as if they were about to feel elated.

When Beta walked to the side of the training ground, a group of people was already following him.

After all, many people want to come over to see the duel of light. There are only three roads leading to the training ground, so many people will naturally take the same road as him.

In addition, there are already therapists and barrier masters waiting at the side of the training ground.

Elena stood at the edge of the training ground, wearing a white heavy armor and holding an unbladed black giant sword. A pair of light golden wings loomed on her body.

Paladins who put on armor and are in a state of battle will have this kind of vision.

On the high platform of the training ground, there were also many senior officials from the Holy Domain arriving, in addition to more than 20 archbishops. Seven cardinals were also present. There are only fifteen red archbishops in the entire sanctuary, and seven came, which is almost half.

One can imagine how sensational this duel of light was in the sanctuary.

In addition, in addition to the red archbishop, there are four paladins present. Tina is naturally here. Both parties in the duel are her acquaintances. How could she not come? Fortes also came, and he looked at Beta with a somewhat unfriendly expression. There was also an unknown paladin.

Beta came to the training ground, followed by a group of people, like his bodyguards, looking like a big shot.

Opposite him, there were at least nearly a thousand people staring at him. The training ground was so large that it could easily accommodate two to three thousand people. If an ordinary person is stared at by so many people or big shots, his legs will probably tremble, but Beta is relaxed and natural.

In contrast, Elena was a little nervous. Although this was her home court, she was still unable to control her emotions when being watched by so many colleagues.

Of course, this is just a small nervousness and will not affect her fighting ability.

On the high platform, the oldest red-clothed archbishop looked at Beta and exclaimed: "This kid has a very stable mentality. Elena was compared to her, and her momentum lost. He seems to be very used to such big scenes, and he is a real person." A good candidate for the leadership core.”

A red archbishop next to him answered: "It's a pity that he is a magician."

"It doesn't matter if you are a magician, you can convert and become one of our own." The oldest red archbishop smiled: "There is no precedent before. When Tina grows up, she will be responsible for stabilizing internal affairs, and this kid will be responsible for external battles. If If they can really become a pair, and they can form horns with each other internally and externally, they can at least ensure the stability of our Temple of Light for the next one or two hundred years."

A red archbishop next to him answered: "But this kid is so 'jumping around' as soon as he comes, which is not in line with our philosophy of stability first."

"Young people, who is not arrogant? When you were young, you were always in trouble."

The red archbishop's face turned a little red.

Another red archbishop next to him asked: "Bridges, do you think so highly of that kid? Later, Elena will give that kid a slap in the face, which will discredit his reputation and leave a stain, even if he grows up in the future. , and it is difficult to be recognized by other people.”

Bridges was the oldest cardinal. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I think Elena is going to lose."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked surprised, but no one questioned Bridges's judgment.

Because Bridges is a legendary powerhouse.

There are five legends on the surface of the Holy Realm of Light, two of them are the Pope Saints, two are in the ranks of the Red Archbishops, and finally there is the Dark Archon in the Heresy Promotion Institute, who is also a Legend.

Of course, these are just the five legendary powerhouses on the surface of the sanctuary. Outsiders don't know whether there are more in the sanctuary.

However, whether it is the pope, the saint, or the red archbishop, although they are legends, their true fighting strength must be discounted.

After all, they were all civil servants in the past, and they were promoted based on their understanding of doctrines and piety to God. In terms of combat consciousness, they are definitely not as strong as the professionals who actually fight life and death and become legendary.

And because of their professional tendencies, they are better at assisting and controlling the field. They have some frontal combat effectiveness, but they are not great.

This is also the reason why the paladin is the core of the power of the Light Religion.

Thousands of years ago, the goddess of light saw this situation and created the paladin profession unique to the religion of light.

In a sense, the Paladin, like the Great Swordsman, is a true killing machine.

Hearing Bridges' words, Tina blushed a little. The distance between the two groups was not far, so the conversation was naturally overheard.

Of course Tina was happy to be paired with Beta, but Fortis was a little unhappy.

The other two male paladins looked at Beta below, somewhat eager to try.

Elena's strength is actually at the bottom among the paladins. If she can't win, can she find time to challenge that kid?

It has nothing to do with reputation or winning or losing, just a simple discussion.

On the edge of the training field, Elena looked at Beta, a little surprised: "You actually came here like this?"
