What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 101 The Devil's Son
Watching the owl Xiaona spread its wings and fly out of the mine, the three of Renn turned around and followed the old miner's words, walking westward along the mine road.

As the three of them went deeper, the light in the mine became increasingly dim. Thanks to the miserliness of the two copper mine owners, the torches that were only lit every 30 meters were obviously not enough to provide sufficient light for the entire mine. environment.

The occasional sound of water dripping from above the mine tunnel made the already deep mine tunnel even quieter.

After walking westward for about half a kilometer, the downward slope of the tunnel gradually became steeper, and the three of Rennes had to slow down.

But soon, they saw the warning sign in the mine tunnel and the line of writing on the warning sign.

——Attention, the construction ahead is extremely dangerous, please return immediately!

"It seems that the old man did not lie to us."

Looking at the warning sign, Ren just breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the warning signs, the three of them trekked for more than ten minutes before they finally came to the fork that the old miner said.

The thick wooden boards at the entrance of the cave used to seal the road are the most obvious signs.

"This... it seems that it can only be dismantled by violence!"

Ren looked at the thick planks that got in the way, and said in a deep voice.

"If you dismantle it directly, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the guards." Leolina expressed her concern, "Otherwise, leave it to me to handle."

"Can you do it?"

Angelica asked with some concern.

"An Jie, don't underestimate the wisdom and methods of the mage!"

The female mage pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and pointed at the plank blocking the intersection. With the sound of incantations, an acid ball shot out from her slender fingertips.

"Zizzizi..."

The acid ball splashed after hitting the wooden board, and almost instantly, the splashed acidic liquid corroded the thick wooden board into pits and dimples.

After releasing [Acid Splash], Leolina looked at Ren.

"The rest, you can handle it with one fist."

Under the corrosion of acid, the thickness and hardness of the plank were greatly reduced.

With a crisp sound of "click", Ren punched a big hole in the board, and then he yanked it hard to the left and right with both hands. It was torn out by him.

After this whole process, only one zero-ring spell slot of the female mage was consumed, but the movement caused was much smaller than that of Renn's direct demolition.

"Walk."

Ren immediately got into the gap and walked towards the mine tunnel behind the template, followed by the female mage and Miss Ranger.

The slope of this mine is much steeper than the mine that the three of Rennes passed just now, reaching almost 45 degrees.

Under the light provided by the inextinguishable torch, Ren and the others walked about 400 meters, and the space in front of them suddenly opened up.

Not far from them was a huge open platform, and a simple lift was parked in the hollow in the center of the platform.

At the four corners of the platform, four iron pillars stood obliquely.The tops of the iron columns merge into one about three meters above the platform.A long iron chain with the thickness of a bowl hangs straight down from the welds of the four iron pillars, one end is connected to the top of the elevator, and the other end is connected to the winch wheel fixed in the elevator.

As long as people turn the winch, they can manipulate the elevator to go up or down.

Ren walked to the edge of the platform, leaned on the wooden fence and looked down, all he could see was darkness.

"Unexpectedly, this Mr. Granolling's secret is quite deep."

After checking that the elevator was normally available, the three of them walked in, and then Ren began to manipulate the winch, slowly lowering the elevator down.

Under the action of the principle of leverage, the elevator slowly lowered towards the lower part of the platform.

Gradually, apart from the inextinguishable bright flame that barely illuminated the entire space of the lift, in Ren's field of vision, five feet away was complete darkness.

Half a minute later, Angelica suddenly whispered:

"Ren, I seem to hear faint footsteps."

"It seems that they are here to welcome our guests, Ren, you use the special ability of the paladin to perceive the opponent's camp."

Leolina nodded and whispered to Ren.

Upon hearing this, Ren waved his hand, and the paladin's [Sacred Perception] ability was activated instantly, covering a space of about 20 meters around him.

In the next instant, two scarlet human figures appeared in the sight of the paladin.

"There are enemies, prepare to fight!"

Ren lowered his voice and reminded his companions. At the same time, he quietly pulled the enchanted sword out of the scabbard.

…………

"Boom!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Hermes ended his doze and opened his red eyes.

He touched the devil's horns on top of his head, and nudged his companion.

"Hey, Hyuff, those guys up there are bringing us food again."

The two of them were tiefling warriors recruited by the Faceless Men to watch over the elevator that descended from above.

"Let's go, go and see, what kind of food did that stingy human send this time, I hope it will no longer be those low-quality moldy black bread!"

Another tiefling warrior, Haif, grumbled, grabbed the weapon thrown at his feet, and walked towards the elevator with his companion.

Since they came here and shouldered the task of monitoring the elevator, except for food and equipment, only two cronies of the mine owner came down from the elevator.Therefore, after a long and monotonous period of work, both Hermes and Hayaf couldn't help but feel slack, subconsciously thinking that everyone who got off the elevator was their own.

"Ren, they are tieflings!"

Looking at the two humanoid creatures walking towards the elevator, Angelica could lower her voice with a hint of curiosity and rejection.

As early as the end of the fourth era and the dark age before the beginning of the fifth era, some human beings made a contract with the devils who had just separated the nine layers of abyss from the endless abyss and founded the Baator Hell, in an attempt to use the power of the devil Come to end this dark age.

Those people became the earliest tieflings, and with the blood of the devil in their bodies, they once established their own kingdom.

What is embarrassing is that, in that dark, bloody, war-torn era, even the blood of the devil cannot guarantee the long-term prosperity of the kingdom.In the end, during nearly half a century of war with its neighbors, the kingdom named Lakad was reduced to ruins.

Tieflings are the so-called heirs who ruled the kingdom of Lakad. Their blood has been polluted and defiled by the devil, and passed on to every descendant.

While they are in many ways indistinguishable from humans, certain features of their appearance testify to their bloodlines from hell:
There are horns of various shapes on tiefling's head, some are curved like ram's horns, others are straight and long, and even spiral up like antelope horns.

The sons of demons also have thick, one-meter to one-and-a-half-meter-long tails that can be swung violently or wrapped around their legs when they feel frustrated or anxious.

Because of their own devil blood, they not only have sharp canine teeth, but also have various red patterns on the surface of their skin.

Their aesthetics are also influenced by the devil's blood, they prefer dark and red colors, and they like to wear tight red and black leather clothes.

Today, there are not many Tieflings in the main material plane of Erathia, and because of their own blood, their race suffers from discrimination and suspicion from other intelligent races.

Always being looked at and whispered about, always being subjected to violence and insults in the street, always seeing mistrust and fear in the eyes of others: this, is tiefling.

In this environment, most newborn tieflings grow up to become liars, thieves, or crime bosses.

In the entire Western Continent, the only one that can accommodate them is the Bauhinia Business Alliance, which has become open because of business.

And it is said that in the Eastern Continent of the Cathay Dynasty, there was also a Tiefling, who lived in towns on the border of the kingdom as a tributary group of Cathay.

For many races, the former Xianglong Empire and the Cathay Dynasty that inherited its power are the places they yearn for. It is a powerful and tolerant country.

No matter what race they are, they can always be respected there, find their own place, and make due contributions to the prosperity of the empire and dynasty.

"Before they find us, do it first!"

Seeing that the lift was about to land, Ren whispered:
"I'll deal with the one on the left, and you guys will deal with the other one. Make a quick decision and don't give them time to react, understand?"

"Ah."

Angelica and Leolina each nodded, and then silently got ready.

Miss Ranger, who was holding a composite longbow, put the arrow on the bowstring, and the beautiful female mage moved her lips slightly, and began to silently recite the incantation.

…………

"Let me see what that old bastard brought us to eat? If it's still the expired bread, I will tell Lord Faceless to send stone-blind barbarian scouts to pick off the head of that bastard wife!"

Seeing the elevator landed, Hermes stepped forward cursingly with empty hands, ready to check the quality of the food delivered this time.

"Here we come...do it!"

Seeing the tiefling warrior wearing a red and black chainmail shirt muttering towards this side, Ren's eyes sharpened, his voice was lowered, and he reminded the two women behind him again.

When the opponent was less than three meters away from him, Ren suddenly jumped out of the elevator like a vigorous cheetah, and the long sword in his hand drew a bright light in the darkness.

"Let... ah!"

The tiefling warrior in the front was caught off guard, and Renn slashed his chest fiercely, and the radiant energy attached to it made him let out a miserable cry.

"Enter, intruder?!"

Seeing his companion being severely injured by the sword of the enemy who suddenly jumped out of the elevator, Hayef, who was not far from Hermes, changed his face drastically, and reached out to touch the giant ax hanging behind his back.

However, the speed of the intruder in his eyes is faster than his own!

Amidst the sound of the bowstring, an arrow pierced through the air and shot straight at his face.

In desperation, Haif rolled to avoid the sudden arrow, but the next moment, he was about to stand up, but unexpectedly, his feet became extremely slippery, and he was caught off guard and fell hard on the ground.

greasy technique!
Then, accompanied by the sound of the bowstring and the muffled gunshot, the unlucky tiefling warrior never stood up again, and was dealt with jointly by Miss Ranger and the female mage.

"Good job."

Ren put away the shield from the opponent's body, nodded to the two of them in appreciation, and then shifted his gaze to the small silver instrument in the female mage's hand.

"This seems to be the handicraft of dwarves?"

Ren asked uncertainly.

Because at this point in time, it seems that only dwarves can make relatively sophisticated firearms.

Leolina turned the pistol on her index finger, covered her mouth with a light smile and said:

"The vision is good, it is indeed a dwarf's craft, but it was enchanted by a friend of the teacher, but then he lost to the teacher in a bet with the teacher. A few months ago, the teacher took it out as a reward for the assessment, Then it was in my hands."
