What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 68 Rupert: Feel the Power of Spirit Guards!

"The guard who warned just now said that he saw wilderness creatures lighting torches and heading towards the mill in the town." The old mayor's words were full of dignity, "If they burn the mill, the flour stock in the town will be wiped out." It's over, and we won't be able to restock again for several months. Most of the people's rations are in it this winter, and I'll try to defend until I can organize enough defenders, but the mobilization of large troops will take time."

With that said, Mayor Yeshan looked at Ren and the others.

"Everyone, I have the audacity to ask you to lend a helping hand to Hemer Town again. Please go and guard the mill. Just hold on until the reinforcements arrive. It will take about 10 to [-] minutes during this period."

"my pleasure."

Sodick said with a smile.

His caravan often took this business route, and it would be a good choice to build a good relationship with Hemer Town by taking advantage of this.

"As long as the commission is enough, we're fine."

A simple and honest smile appeared on Rupert's face, he turned his head and glanced at the halfling, and asked in a muffled voice:
"Boss, don't you mind if we earn some extra money?"

Sodick glared at him angrily.

"If you can't come back alive, then you won't be entitled to this pension."

Help is a help, but it is absolutely impossible for halflings to post money inside.

Well, it helps, but not quite...

"Mr. Mayor, let me ask a question, did the warning guards really see those kobolds and goblins going to burn the mill?"

Ren instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and asked.

"This..." The old mayor paused for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face, and finally shook his head, "No, but it's impossible for those guys to go to the mill to snatch the flour? They don't know how to use it. Flour cooking. And, they go with torches, surely to burn the mill."

"wrong!"

Miss Ranger also noticed something was wrong.

"Although it is late at night and there is no moonlight tonight, the town can be said to be pitch black, but both goblins and kobolds have dark vision of nearly 20 meters, and they don't need torches at night."

The knowledge of wilderness creatures that the girl had learned from her ranger mentor came in handy at this time.

The paladin naturally took over.

"Since they don't need torches for lighting, what is the purpose of doing this?" Ren's mouth showed a confident smile, "It must be to tell us that they went to the mill to 'set fire'. Don’t save them? As long as we don’t save them, they may actually burn down the mill.”

Ren's tone gradually became serious.

"But if we divide our forces to rescue them, we will definitely fall into the tricks of these monsters! At that time, they will focus their attacks on the castle. As long as we capture this place, it doesn't matter whether we burn the mill or not. !"

"This..." the old mayor showed hesitation, "But if the other party really burns the mill, then the town will be saved, and in the next few months, everyone will not have much food for the winter. "

If you go to save them, you will fall into the other party's trap. If you don't save them, it is very likely that the people in the whole town will starve.

A difficult choice was made before the mayor of Yeshan.

"If the mayor feels a bit embarrassed, he can ask Xiao Na to go to the mill to find out the situation first, and then we can discuss countermeasures."

Seeing the embarrassment on the old mayor's face, Ren proposed.

The mayor of Yeshan gave Renn a grateful look, and then looked at Angelica.

"Miss Angelica, just leave it to your animal companion."

"Cuckoo!"

After listening to her master's narration, the owl Xiao Na uttered a few words in a low voice.

"She said it's okay to work, but there must be small fish. She can do as much work as the small fish..."

When Miss Ranger said these words, she felt ashamed for her animal companion.

What kind of mercenary owl is this!

Xiao Na: Why, why don't owls have some unique hobbies?You are only allowed to be greedy for Ren, but I am not allowed to be greedy for dried fish?
"Okay, okay, give it, definitely give it, just let her rest assured."

The mayor of Yeshan laughed.

The distance between the mill and the castle was not far, only less than 200 meters away, so after only one minute, the girl received Xiao Na's frontline report from the mill.

Hearing the telepathic message from the owl, Miss Ranger's face gradually relaxed a lot.

"Mr. Mayor, those kobolds just surrounded the mill and didn't burn it down. Moreover, Shauna also said that a small team sneaked towards the castle."

It really is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
Hearing what the girl said, the old mayor looked at Ren with more and more admiration.

As expected of a person who can fool a giant dragon, this mental agility alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the girl beside Ren.

If he hadn't only had grandsons but no granddaughters, he would have wanted to ask this paladin if he was engaged.

It doesn't matter even if they are engaged, whose granddaughter doesn't want such a handsome and powerful lover?

"Mr. Mayor, do you think there are secret passages in this castle?"

Although Ren is a question sentence, it is affirmative.

"Ren, do you want to..."

The quick-witted Sodick faintly grasped the paladin's train of thought.

"That's right, just use the plan, let Rupert and Delite lead a few militiamen, pretend that we slipped out of the secret passage, and pretend to rescue the mill. When the other party launches an attack on the castle, we will attack at the same time." Let’s put some cheese on two breads, and give this group of bastards a hard time. As long as this main force is defeated quickly, those who go to burn the mill will also flee after hearing the news.”

Ren said as he stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and then held them together fiercely.

"Okay, young man, what you said is right, let's do it your way!" (Negotiation succeeded)

Ryan's reason finally made the mayor of Yeshan make up his mind.

"Escobert, you take two militiamen and act together with Mr. Dwight and the others, following their command."

After making up his mind, Mayor Yeshan began to make arrangements.

"Don't worry, sir, I will let those bastards know that the dwarves in Homer Town are not easy to bully."

Escobert laughed heartily.

"There are enough supplies in the castle, use them if necessary. Also, if possible, I would really like to know what we are fighting and why. Therefore, we need some high-ranking prisoners .”

"Don't worry, the final fate of wilderness creatures is to be driven back into the wilderness by us."

Ren said confidently.

Before departure, the barbarian Rupert came to Rennes, Weng said:
"The wild spirit told me that you need my help."

With that said, he put his thick right hand on Ren's shoulder, and prayed solemnly:

"Spirit of the wilderness, please witness my path!"

"I would like to sacrifice my strength and blood, and I beg you to help my friend restore the silent magic power in his body!"

The blood-red aura flickered on Rupert's body, and then turned into a band of light, connecting him with Ren.

A few seconds later, with the disappearance of the blood-red aura, Ren felt that his spell position had been restored.

"With the blessing of the spirit guard Rupert's magic power transfer, you have recovered two first-level spell slots and one second-level spell slot."

I really didn't expect that Rupert, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, would choose the barbarian sub-profession of spirit guard!

Ren looked at Rupert with surprise.

Spirit Guardian and Bloodfury Warrior are exclusive sub-jobs of the Howling Tribal Alliance in the Northland.

The spirit guard guards the spirits of the wilderness and pursues the barbaric and ancient way of the wilderness.

When the spirit guard is at level 6, he can obtain the special ability of magic power flow, and guide the arcane energy in his body to other creatures through the spirit of the wilderness.If the opponent has spell slots, randomly restore spell slots of a random number and number of rings (the total number of rings cannot exceed 6 rings, and the number cannot exceed 3); if not, restore the opponent's HP equal to 5 times the total number of rings .

Of course, there is a price to be paid for borrowing power from the wild spirit.

After that, the Spirit Guardian will receive 5 times the total rings of force field damage.

With the disappearance of the blood-red aura, Rupert's face suddenly turned pale, and his sturdy body was a little crumbling.

Losing 20 health points in an instant, even a barbarian known for his strength couldn't hold it.

Sodick handed a bottle of healing potion to Rupert, pouted and said:
"The money for this bottle of potion will not be deducted from your salary, and I will reimburse you."

"Thank you boss."

Gudu Gudu poured the potion into his stomach, and Rupert, who regained some blood, showed a simple and honest smile.

Such a bottle of potion cost at least 300 Golden Eagle coins, which was quite a fortune for him who was addicted to alcohol.

It is a little bit to save a little bit.

"Mr. Mayor, we are also going down to prepare."

Angelica looked at Dwight and Rupert who walked out of the room together with the shield dwarf, and said to the old mayor.

For some reason, she always felt that when this kind old man looked at Ren, there seemed to be something indescribable in his eyes...

"Well, I wish you all good luck, and may Ms. Lucky bless you. I am waiting for your good news."

　The prototype of the spirit guard is the way of the wild soul of the 5E barbarian
