What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 27 The Eagle and the Ranger
"Flapping!"

Accompanied by a slight flapping of wings, a fat chicken with a round face, ah no, an owl glides down from the sky and lands on Ren's outstretched left arm.

"Googoo~goo~~"

The one-foot-long owl with gray and white feathers tilted its neck, its big eyes stared at the human in front of it, and it uttered two short and one long calls in succession.

Ren's domesticated animals are at level nine, and he can understand what the owl in front of him wants to say.

Throwing a reassuring expression to the dwarf, Ren put away the weapon in his hand, and said to the owl in front of him with some regret:
"Okay, I know you've worked hard, Xiao Na. But I really don't have dried fish with me."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to give the other party a pat on the head.

"Cuckoo!"

The owl tried its best to tilt its neck to the side, spread its wings to block Ren's extended palm, and its meaning was self-evident.

There is no small dried fish, you still want to touch me?

Think peaches too!

"This owl... eats fish?"

Looking at the owl that jumped on Ren's shoulder, Nan Zhuo's eyes were full of question marks.

If he remembered correctly, wild owls lived on small birds and insects, and fish, although occasionally, was not a staple food.

Why is this owl only staring at the little fish?
Memories of the past slowly emerged in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of Ren's mouth.

"It's called Xiao Na. It was raised by a friend of mine, and I know it very well. It's just that she was a picky eater. I don't know when it fell in love with dried fish... Sigh!"

"Gooooooooooo!"

Seemingly understanding the meaning of ridicule in Ren's words, Shawna the owl lowered her head and tore a hair from Ren's head to vent her little dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong this time, I will definitely do it next time."

Seizing the opportunity, Ren stretched out his hand and ruaed the owl's head before making a satisfied promise.

Well, definitely next time.

"So smart?"

Looking at the interaction between a person and a bird, Nan Zhuo only felt that his 40 years had been wasted.

"She was raised by my friend as a natural partner. Her intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary beasts, and she is about to reach the standard of natural awakening."

Ren explained with a smile.

The intelligence of ordinary animals is between 2 and 4 points, and the intelligence of smart domestic animals is higher, reaching 5 to 7 points, but Xiao Na's intelligence is even higher than them, reaching 8 points.

If an animal wants to awaken naturally, its intelligence must reach 9 points in order to obtain a professional level.

Uneducated ordinary people have an intelligence of only 10 to 11 points, and modern people who have received higher education have an average intelligence of 12 to 13 points.

And if you want to work in a high-level legal profession such as an archmage, the minimum requirement for initial intelligence is 15 points.

This is also the reason why there are so few professionals working in high-level legal systems.

Those who can work in high-level legal professions must be master-level characters from the beginning, otherwise they will not be able to understand the complicated and obscure high-level spell models.

Casting his gaze on the owl on his shoulder, Ren asked:

"Xiao Na, if you're here, then she won't be far from here if you want to come, right?"

Before the owl could answer, a female voice with a hint of anxiety came from the other side of the hill.

"Shauna, have you spotted Ryan?"

"Cuckoo!"

Hearing the master's call, the owl fluttered its wings and pointed the way for its master with its small body.

After a few breaths, an anxious girl with a long sword on her waist and a long bow on her back walked through the dense thorns and woods, and was led by the owl Xiao Na to the hill.

She was only a head shorter than Ren, and her long pale golden hair was tied behind her head with a headband, reflecting a little light in the morning sun.

The commercial atmosphere of the Bauhinia Business Alliance is extremely strong. Under the pro-business policy, the economic development of Bauhinia ranks first among the four countries.

But even if the social atmosphere gradually opens up with the progress of commerce, old towns like Fanlin Town are still not ready.

This point is vividly and vividly reflected in the girl's clothing in front of her.

The girl was wearing a very simple piece of rough leather armor with iron plates on the vital parts for protection, and a pair of frayed over-the-knee buckskin boots made the girl look taller.

If it is those female rangers in big cities, the equipment on their bodies is much more luxurious and fashionable than the girls in front of them, at least they will add a shirt as a base.

But in Fanlin Town, there is obviously no such ethos, not to mention that girls do not have such financial resources at the same time.

But even so, the girl's beautiful face and cool demeanor were not damaged at all by the crude equipment.

However, when the girl looked at Ren not far away, her cold demeanor was instantly replaced by surprise and guilt.

"Ren, you... that's great!"

For a moment, the emotionally agitated girl was even a little incoherent.

"Angelica, what happened to me?"

Ren smiled and comforted the girl, then turned his head and introduced to the dwarf beside him:
"This is Angelica, my ranger friend, who is also Shawna's master."

"Oh~~"

The dwarf glanced at Ren, and said with a smirk:
"Why don't you go up and give someone a big hug?"

Ren glared angrily at the dwarf who was afraid of chaos, and introduced him to Angelica.

"My Lord bless me, let me escape from the hands of the Red Label Gang. Angelica, this is the companion I met on the road, named Nan Zhuo."

Some things, it's better not to let her know for the time being.

I am a loner, but Angelica is different. She also needs to take care of the group of bear children in the town's orphanage.

"Hello, beautiful lady, I was rescued from the Red Label Gang by Ren."

The dwarf saluted the girl and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the Red Label Gang didn't hurt your sweetheart, but suffered a big loss at his hands."

"Mr. Dwarf, what nonsense are you talking about! Ren, Ren is not..."

Miss Ranger couldn't say those three words no matter what, so she stomped her feet and lowered her head in embarrassment and anxiety.

When Miss Ranger raised her eyes and glanced secretly at the opposite paladin, she found that Ren was looking at her as if feeling something in her heart, then hurriedly lowered her head, and abruptly changed the subject.

"Ren, I'm sorry," Angelica said with guilt and tears in her tone, "If I hadn't stopped you then, you wouldn't have suffered so much."

Speaking of this matter, Angelica only felt panicked in her heart.

At that time, after Renn heard the news, he rushed back to the town anxiously, preparing to cause trouble for the Red Label Gang and his uncle, and he didn't care that part of his paladin ability was sealed.

After I learned from the children in the orphanage that Ren's family property had been taken over by his uncle, I knew something was going to happen, so I asked Xiao Na to guard the place where Ren had to pass when he returned to town.

In the end, with Xiaona's help, she still stopped Ren outside the town. She hoped that the paladin could calm down and find a way to solve this matter, instead of rushing forward in such a reckless manner.

However, the angry Ren didn't listen to her words at all, threw himself away, rushed into the old house, and then there was no news.

She knew that things were going to be bad, but due to the strength and scruples of both parties, the old and young who went to the orphanage had nothing to do with the Red Label Gang.

It wasn't until the next morning that she learned that Ryan had been carried out of the town and thrown into the wilderness, so she rushed to look for him, but she couldn't find Ryan's "body" at all.

She didn't know that at that time, the number "Ren" had been taken over by the transmigrated souls, and was heading towards the Phandalin Mine.

The anxious ranger searched the wild for a whole day, and finally found the missing paladin with the help of animal companions.

In Angelica's eyes, all of this was caused by her.

If she had been firmer at the time and persuaded Ren not to be so reckless, she would never have come to where she is today.

Miss Ranger is so kind, she habitually takes other people's recklessness and faults to herself.
