Chapter 261: Perhaps You Are the Real Paladin?

"I'll help you translate."

"Oh~"

009 reached out to stop Arthur, "Okay, that's enough."

Arthur blinked, "Is that it?"

Isn't this 009's style?

Yes, killing people to the end is 009's consistent style.

But, 009 considered another thing this time.

If these two people died, then Jenna would probably not really help him translate, but would distort his words, causing 009's plan to deviate, in order to retaliate against 009.

Then on the other hand, leaving them alive as a handle to let the little girl see some hope is much more controllable than the former.

After all, 009 can say directly that if she doesn't convey it well, I will take your two poor friends as the first move.

Remember, they all died because of you.

This is the truth that 009 realized when facing moral kidnapping.

……

Although the two were unwilling, what else could they do?

They couldn't kill 009, nor could they beat Arthur. The Paladin's right arm was cut off, and compromise was the only option.

009 and the other two left. Under the gaze of Jenna who kept looking back, the Paladin knelt down with his broken arm covered.

"Zane, how are you?!"

Paladin Zane shook his head, "To be honest, I'm not optimistic..."

"What about holy healing? Can't Paladins use holy healing?"

"But I'm an oathbreaker..."

"What should I do then?"

"Do you remember what we brought out of that tomb last time?"

"You want to use that?"

"Are you sure?"

"I can't care about that anymore."

Blood kept flowing out of the broken arm of Paladin Zane. The man carrying the lute gritted his teeth and took out a bottle of green potion from his bag!

"You've thought about it. If..."

Without waiting for the man to finish, Zane took the potion and drank it all!

And at the moment he drank the potion, his body was covered with purple stripes in an instant, and at the same time, his muscles bulged, and the wound on the broken arm healed directly!

But his eyes turned green.

This was something they found in an expedition to an underground tomb.

It was the tomb of an alchemist, and there were many potions in it, but the names of these potions were all very strange.

What Lover's Heart, Father's Blood, Mother's Tears, Children's Hate, Beggar's Tongue...

The effects of these potions were all unknown, because the alchemist was a witch before his death, so they did not dare to drink the potions.

But they also brought out a few bottles and gave them to a local herbalist, asking him to study the effects of these potions.

The herbalist told them that these were all forbidden medicines whose formulas had been lost, and several of them had lost their effects due to the span of time.

Some of them still had effects, but there were also uncertain risks and mutations.

The effects of these potions were also very anti-human, and in the end they only left two bottles of potions, and the rest were handed over to the herbalist.

The two bottles they left were Brother's Wound and Wise Eye.

The herbalist told them that these potions were the products of the alchemy school and must follow the law of balance.

What is the law of balance? It is the basic principle of alchemy, equal exchange.

Whatever you gain, you must lose.

That is, when you enjoy a good condition, you must bear a bad condition.

This bottle of brother's wound can heal all wounds, but the side effect is that the person who drinks the potion will not be able to be treated in any form in the future.

If it really comes to the last resort, this bottle of potion may really be used.

With this idea, they took this bottle of potion with them as insurance.

And the other bottle of potion came from a little selfishness.

The effect of this bottle of potion is to allow people to see the real world, and the side effect is that they can no longer see the false world.

So what is the truth? In fact, it is very simple, it is a thing without any lies.

The literal translation is that the person who drinks the potion can hear the truth from the lies.

Of course, this is not limited to the level of lies, but can also be applied to more levels.

But these things are no longer important.

"We have to rescue Zena."

Yes, we have to rescue Zena, but how?

A wandering poet and a paladin without the power of light and with a broken arm.

What can they do with just the two of them?

Thinking of this, both of them fell silent.

"We have to rescue them. I can't abandon my companions. This is my creed."

"But whether there is such a creed or not, I will not abandon my companions."

Hearing Zane's words, the man carrying the lute was stunned for a moment, "Maybe... I may have misunderstood you. Even if there is no creed, you are the real paladin."

Zane suddenly lowered his head when he heard it.

He remembered a person, Achilles. They joined the church together and became paladins together.

But Achilles' brilliance was so dazzling that the group of paladins who joined the church at the same time as him seemed to be eclipsed.

He also said this to Zane about Achilles.

"Maybe you are the real paladin."

At that time, Zane asked him back, don't you think you are not?

And he only answered Zane with one sentence.

"If justice must prevail, then the loser must be evil."

The battle between good and evil is a commonplace, but the paladin must be on the side of justice.

However, Achilles introduced a new saying.

The winner is just and the loser is evil.

This is a view that violates the code of justice, but it exists objectively.

If there were no visitors from other worlds, Achilles would become synonymous with justice.

But now, he has nothing to do with the word justice.

It seems that as he said, the loser is evil.

Zane got up, "The church and the empire no longer exist. The scale of this disaster is so large that it is likely to repeat the Broken War."

"But we don't have the ability to do more. Saving our companions is the only thing we can do now."

"This is not justice, because I'm tired of this word."

"I'm tired of red tape. I put down everything about the paladin and just want to save our friends."

"Just to achieve this goal, I can no longer care about all means, because now I am a warrior."

Hearing Zane's words, Rat, the man carrying the lute, was stunned.

"Are you sure you are telling the truth?"

"This is a truth that cannot be exchanged for ten sincerityes."

"If that's the case, then I have an idea."

"But you have to be mentally prepared, because what I am going to show you next is something that the church strongly opposes and does not tolerate."

"At this point, even the church no longer exists, what's the point of saying this?"

"That's right."
