Chapter 50, Paladin Alfred

What Knight of Duty Raun had said echoed in his mind again: the head of a doom bull could be exchanged from our lady for a full set of blessed knight's plate armor.

After years of traveling, Ryan knows the "price" of these monster heads. A jar of holy oil is really the cheapest gift.

This made the White Wolf Knight feel a little depressed. What did he get from Urick when he killed the Beastman leader "Finger" Gore?

It was the spike necklace given to Lawn.

In any case, Ryan has obtained the information he needs. The White Wolf Knight temporarily suppressed his unhappiness and walked out of the White Wolf Church. The long-term vigilance and field trip made Ryan feel physically and mentally exhausted. Relax some vigilance and enjoy the short leisure time.

Along the gravel-paved road, Ryan walked towards the Butterbeer Hotel. The hotel is not far from the White Wolf Church, and the target is quite obvious from a distance... A large group of villagers are surrounding the door of the hotel, and There is an increasing trend in the flow of people.

What is this doing?

"Beautiful lady witch, please, the cow in our village is sick, and it has green spots on its body, please help us!" A middle-aged male villager wearing a turban begged and stood in the hotel with his head bowed. The woman at the door.

The woman standing at the door looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties. She was wearing a lake green tunic dress with a brown bearskin waistcoat draped over her body, and a complete white skirt was tied around her neck. Fox fur scarf, dignified and gentle face, beautiful and generous, long black hair coiled behind his head, but with a helpless face: "Sir, do I look like a veterinarian?"

"No...it's not like." The male villager lowered his head, but he immediately realized what he said, so the male villager simply knelt on the ground: "But, Mrs. Witch, please, our village cannot live without that Cow! If this happens, several of our families will go bankrupt, please! We know we have nothing to give you, can you accept this? This is our only property!"

After speaking, the male villager took out a few silver coins from his body and sent them to the woman.

"...Okay, I will try to prepare some potions, take them back and see if it works." The woman sighed, and instead of asking the man for money, she just asked him to pick some herbs, and then turned towards the rest of the villagers. Said: "That's enough, I'm tired today, I'm going to rest, you all go back."

After finishing speaking, the woman walked towards the hotel lobby without turning her head. The villagers who got the woman's promise danced happily as if they had found a treasure, while the other villagers looked gloomy. You look at me, and I look at you.

"Well, Mrs. Witch said she was tired, we'd better come back tomorrow." A fat man said.

"That's the only way to go. Why didn't we grab the first one today?" The tall and thin man replied, and the rest of the villagers dispersed abruptly.

"Ms. Dietlinde?" Ryan, who was behind everyone, rolled his eyes.

What wind brought this Congresswoman Garland here?

Dietlinde Soma, a female member of the Garland Council, is a legendary academic witch who is not good at fighting, but is very good at alchemy and medicine. He asked Ryan to get the Harpy Heart mentioned above. , in return, she made a space ring for Ryan.

Dietlinde is relatively kind. She is a wizard rather than a warlock. Sometimes when she passes through some towns, she will provide help to the villagers within her ability. This can also allow her to exchange medicinal materials from the villagers at a low price.

Ryan walked in unceremoniously. The villagers were staggered by the white wolf knight. They were about to curse, but when they saw a kingdom knight in noble clothes, they quickly stepped aside.

Pushing open the door of the hotel, he heard Teresa's voice inside: "Sister Dietlinde, why did you suddenly appear here?"

"The cargo ship from the south will send a batch of precious alchemy,

I don't worry about the quality, so I have to check and accept it myself. "

Ryan rolled his eyes when he heard that.

elder sister?

Did he remember that Dieterlind was at least seventy years old?

Uh, woman~

He had just entered the hotel door when the two women were already walking upstairs.

"How does it feel to be out on an adventure? How does it feel to have Ryan as your partner?" Dietlinde said.

"Uh... not bad." Teresa nodded, "It's just that something happened in the middle... a bit dangerous."

"Does it feel good to be adventurous, or does it feel good for Ryan to be your partner?" the academic witch asked.

"It's all good." The ice-type and spiritual-type sorceress's face was slightly red, and her expression seemed normal. She asked casually, "I heard that you have been in contact with Ryan many times before?"

Dietlinde was about to say something when she saw Ryan standing on the first floor out of the corner of her eye, so she suddenly smiled and said, "Then what do you think of others?"

"People from Ryan? Uh~" Teresa's pretty face flushed slightly, and she suddenly remembered that she had lost her composure at the gate of the city before: "Generally speaking, being a partner is still satisfying."

"Yeah, he's strong and handsome, and he seems to be very polite? It's really rare." Dietlinde wanted to continue joking, but Ryan said bluntly, "Ms. Dietlinde? Please don't talk about me in person, okay?"

"Hohoho~ I thought you would be happy to hear our Teresa praise you~" Dietlinde laughed coquettishly. The mature and dignified witch seemed to be complacent about the joke. On the contrary, Teresa instinctively I looked back and saw Ryan standing on the first floor, his beautiful face flushed instantly, and his tone became very dangerous: "Eavesdropping on the ladies' conversation? Ryan, your behavior is really despicable, and I am really disappointed."

"Sorry, I didn't intend to eavesdrop on your conversation, but my hearing is far beyond ordinary people, and some things are beyond my control." Ryan shrugged, and the expression on his face did not reveal any guilty conscience: but... Dietrin Ms. De, long time no see.

"Well, it's been a long time. Your parents are very good. When I passed by Autergne, I prescribed rheumatism medicine for Norman. I think he will feel better this winter." Dietlinde is not that kind For a witch who likes to tease others, it's enough to say a few words, she said sternly to Ryan.

"That's really grateful!" Ryan solemnly touched his chest with his right hand and gave a knight's salute. Norman fought endlessly when he was young, and Nord is a really bitter cold place. He is not Ryan who has powerful genes and spirituality. If it can be protected, it is natural that there will be some root causes of disease. Every winter, when the weather is wet and cold, Norman often asks the priest of the Goddess of Mercy Church in Winter City to help him perform magic spells to relieve the pain.

However, divine magic is a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause. Too high a level of divine magic can solve the problem, but it is expensive, and it is not something Norman can afford. After all, he is just a small lord with an annual income of about three to five hundred gold coins. And the life regeneration of the six-ring magic spell costs 500 gold coins once, which is a preferential price for nobles.

Things turned around later, only because Ryan rose.

It is useful for Ryan to sell some face. The witches of Garland made a move, and the alchemy potion greatly relieved Norman's rheumatic pain. Ryan is also familiar with Dietlind because of this incident. He is not good at fighting and needs a lot of alchemy materials The witch often asked Ryan to help her get precious materials.

"Did Ma'am come to Miljordenhaven alone?" Teresa had already booked a room for him, and Ryan got the key.

"No... I came with a team of paladins. They are now reporting to the Church of Justice, and they should be back soon." Dieterinde took Teresa to the top floor together, and there were only three of them on the top floor. Among the rooms, the largest and best room was occupied by the academic witches, and Teresa had reserved the next largest room, leaving Ryan with a standard one-bedroom, one-living room suite.

"You've worked hard too, Ryan. Sister Dietlinde is going to continue her experiment. You should also go to rest. Remember to come to my place for dinner at night." Teresa looked at the tired-looking Ryan and said in a gentle voice.

Ryan was indeed very tired. He opened his room, said hello to the two Garland women councils, and then fell asleep on the soft bed. When he woke up, the sun had already set.

After taking a shower, changed clothes, opened the door and came downstairs, Ryan found that the downstairs was full of a group of "tin cans", and several armed paladins were booking a room with the innkeeper. The innkeeper's face was slightly sullen. : "So, do you want three rooms?"

"Yes." The leading paladin has beautiful blond hair, green eyes full of vitality and enthusiasm, he has a handsome face and a hooked nose, and a set of standard paladin plate armor, the god of justice The Holy Symbol glows soft white at night.

Among the remaining paladins, there are many people with higher status, but it is indeed this young paladin who came out to negotiate, just because his words are elegant and polite, and the family crest on his chest shows that he is not just a paladin. A samurai, but also a nobleman.

As mentioned above, paladins are actually not liked by these merchants and shopkeepers because of their style.

But when the paladin raised his head, Ryan's eyes lit up, and he lost his voice: "Alfred?!"

The paladin was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously shouted, "Ryan?"

"Hahahaha! Really, no wonder Archbishop Innocent said that my old friend is here!" Ryan laughed and walked down the stairs, the previous exhaustion was swept away, and the White Wolf Knight walked in front of the paladin: "Ah Fu! When did you come?"

Alfred is the nickname Ryan gave to Alfred.

"I arrived a few days ago." The blond paladin walked up and gave Ryan a big hug: "Good friend! You are here too? You have been famous recently, and we all know about killing a doomsday bull independently." Got it! Well done!"

"Haha~" Ryan thought that when he went to the White Wolf Church, those people didn't know about it, but now they all know about the Justice Church in just one afternoon?

The power of the Justice Church is indeed very strong.

When the old friends met, they were very enthusiastic. The two of them were both surprised and happy. The hotel owner immediately recognized Ryan. Seeing that the group of paladins knew the White Wolf Knight, he gave three rooms happily despite his previous hesitation.

"Alex, you guys go to rest first, Ryan and I have something to talk about." Alfred talked to the other paladins, and then put his arms around Ryan's shoulders: "You are amazing now, boy! The kingdom is talking about your name! That's nothing but Doom Bull!"

"Don't get lucky, I don't want to face the Doomsday Bull again." Ryan quickly declined: "It's you, Ah Fu, I heard that you have advanced to the Temple Guard?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your favor!" Alfred and Ryan found a place to sit down in the hall, and the two began to chat about recent events.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, this kind of joy was not what Ryan could feel in the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life. This unexpected encounter made both of them feel very happy.

Alfred is Ryan's childhood friend. The two grew up together and used to be friends who talked about everything. However, after Ryan became a knight-errant at the age of sixteen, Alfred also bid farewell to his parents and officially Joined the Justice Church.

Because Alfred is not the eldest son, he is the second son. As the second son, he cannot inherit the title, so when his talent was awakened, his parents asked the church to directly transfer him to a paladin, so as to avoid possible inheritance competition in the future.

This is a helpless move for the nobles.

Ryan used to feel aggrieved by his "childhood" friends, but Alfred, who is optimistic and cheerful by nature, is not surprised that his parents did this. He still maintains his optimistic and kind nature. A few days ago, Ryan got the news that Alfred had successfully advanced to the rank of temple guard, and he could be considered as a top-notch paladin.

The leader of the paladin team came up and stretched out his hand towards Ryan. His face was full of ravines and wind and frost, and the golden thread on the plate armor and helmet showed his extraordinary: "Hello, Mr. Ryan, I am The Templar leading this time, my name is Frode."

"Hello! Mr. Templar Frode!" Ryan shook hands with him. Coming here shows that Archbishop Innocent attaches great importance to the matter of Belt.

Of course, this also explains from the side why the former Belter, as a master hunter, was unwilling to join the Church of Justice, because the Church of Justice has its own templar system. On the other hand, a priest-priest-bishop-district bishop-archbishop job system and a templar training system have been established. Demon hunters are not a force that needs to be relied on for the Church of Justice, and the treatment of demon hunters is naturally not very good. high.

Therefore, the status of the current demon hunters is indeed a bit embarrassing. The nobles do not need them all the time. For the church, the existence of these people is also the best. Earn too little.

The two were about to talk, when a wandering knight suddenly rushed in from outside the hotel. He rushed upstairs, completely ignoring the obstruction of the security guards in the hotel: "I want to see that Witch Your Excellency! I have something very important! Let's go!" open!"

It's Ike!
