What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 14 The Messenger of Light

As the observer beholder Edward teleported away, the three involuntarily cast their gazes at the small room behind the beholder.

Apparently, that was what it was guarding under the order of its master, Hyteles Blackflame.

Seeing that his younger brother was about to walk in, Rock Breaker Sorin grabbed him, turned to look at Ren, and said:
"Mr. Siri, we dwarves mean what we say, so go ahead and choose a treasure."

Anyway, in the end, this guy couldn't escape the palms of the two brothers, he could do whatever he wanted, and he could even lower his vigilance even further.

The two brothers share the same mind. When Sorin said this, Werther immediately understood what his brother was thinking. He stopped, looked at Ren with an "apology" and said:
"I'm still too impatient, brother Sri, you go."

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of Liao Zhai is here!
Regarding the thoughts of the gray dwarf brothers, Ren couldn't be more clear, he sneered in his heart, but his face showed "joy".

"Since that's the case, then I, Sri Jan, will not be polite!"

With that said, he stepped into the small room.

Entering the room, Ren looked around.

I saw a workbench that had long stopped functioning in the southeast corner of the room, with two items placed on it.

A closer look reveals a mace and a breastplate.

The mace was about two feet long. The head was made of hard brass and shaped into the shape of a rising sun. Several inscriptions were engraved on the handle of the hammer, praising the ancient god [Lord of Dawn] Luo Shanda's Prayer.

Ren picked it up and tried it. It felt a little heavy in his hands, but it felt very good.

There is a small nameplate in front of the mace, which briefly describes the origin and function of the weapon.

This +1 mace was named "Bright Messenger", and it was custom-made by the priest of the Lord of Dawn. It was only because of the riots of wild creatures that the Pandalin mine was destroyed, and it has been dusty to this day.

This weapon can emit a sun-like radiance four times a day according to the command of its user. At the same time, the radiance can also cause an additional 1D6 radiant damage to creatures of the evil alignment.

The breastplate next to it has a golden dragon pattern in the center of the breastplate, so it was named "Dragon Guardian" by the blacksmith. Like the mace, it is also a +1 magic equipment.

It was ordered by a human hero named Tertegon in the cold winter city of the Howling Tribe Federation, in order to resist the breath attack of dragon beasts when the orcs invaded the extreme northern wilderness.This armor gives the wearer an advantage on rolls against the dragon's breath and an additional 4 points of breath damage reduction.

Ren did not hesitate, and decisively chose the Lightbringer.

This thing has an advantage against the evil camp, and whether it is the evil hidden in the depths of Phandalin, or the gray dwarf brothers of the evil camp, they are undoubtedly within the scope of its sanctions.

Not only that, the mace is also an excellent armor-piercing weapon, which is the nemesis of dwarf warriors like Rockbreaker Thorin.

It doesn't matter how thick your nails are, just hammer them down and keep them so that you can fully understand the meaning of the words "broken bones and tendons".

Before going out, Ryan conveniently hid the two nameplates.

"Brother Thorin, thank you for your long sword, but I still use this one more easily." After going out, Ren raised the mace in his hand, smiled and handed back the refined long sword in his hand to the gray dwarf The soldier said at the same time, "There is also a good-looking breastplate in the room, I think you will like it."

It's a pity that I don't have the specialty of dual-weapon fighting, and I can't dual-wield weapons. Otherwise, I don't have to return this refined long sword to the opponent.

When returning the refined long sword, Ren inevitably had some regrets in his heart.

Nodding to Ren, Rockbreaker Thorin put away his long sword and signaled his brother to enter the room.

Soon, Rockbreaker Werther came out carrying a beautifully styled breastplate.

"Next, are we going to find that bound spirit?"

Watching the gray dwarf warrior put the breastplate into the dimension bag, Ren asked casually.

"No, let's talk later, Bound Spirit is not in a hurry. We brothers still have some things to do when we enter the mine, so we can't delay for too long. Next, we will explore the most central mine road." Rock Breaker Sorin said , and then remembered something, "By the way, the beholder just said that this brazier is a magic item. Brother Sri, can you see its function?"

Hearing the gray dwarf's words, Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the brazier burning with green flames in the center of the room.

After staring at it for a while, he shook his head and said:

"I'm really sorry, but I don't see the use of this brazier either."

Although he saw some clues, how could he tell the gray dwarf brothers who were destined to become enemies in the near future?
"It's the same for us. Sure enough, in terms of identifying magic items, it's still a mage's specialty."

Rockbreaker Sorin looked back at the brazier, and said with regret.

Cleaning up their mood, the three left the spell factory and returned to the fork in the road.

Instead of turning into the mine where Binding Ling was, the group walked directly into the middle mine.

As the three of them got deeper, they heard an increasingly intense roar, which was the sound of waves hitting the rock wall.

"There is an underground river under this mine, and there is a dry riverbed in front of it. It seems that when the Phandalin mine was built, that Heteres Black Flame used magic to divert the river."

Rockbreaker Werther walked sideways.

"If that's the case, then the Phandalin Mine is called the 'Chaoyin Mine' by the people in the town, and that's the reason."

Ren suddenly realized.

While talking, the three of them quickly came to the dry riverbed mentioned by the wanderer.

The width of this riverbed is about 20 meters, and there are pebbles of different sizes and bones all over it.

Apparently, when the wild creatures invaded the Phandalin mines, there were also some terrible battles here.

The three of them carefully crossed the river bed and walked towards the opposite bank.

Suddenly, Ren stopped and looked at a corpse at his feet. It was a corpse wearing a tattered mage robe.

A few rusty arrows pierced through the ripped robe and stuck in the skeleton's ribs.

Obviously, this is a human mage who died fighting against wild creatures.

Ren noticed a very weak mana fluctuation from the remains.

There is still a magic item still in effect on this corpse!

After discovering this, he made an instant judgment in his heart.

"Two, please wait!"

Ren yelled.

"what happened?"

The duergar rogue in front and the duergar warrior behind asked simultaneously.

Is it possible that this guy is going to escape halfway?
Don't even think about it. Is it possible?
Facing Sidao's slightly malicious eyes, Ren's tone was a little sad, and he said these words.
