What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 9

Seeing the two ghouls rushing towards him, Rockbreaker Werther, who was stiff and unable to move, felt regretful in his heart.

If he was more cautious and moved the battle circle closer to his elder brother, even in this situation, his elder brother would still have time to rescue him.

But now, it's too late...

The thought of having his throat slit by a ghoul and becoming a brand new ghoul shortly afterwards fills Werther the Rockbreaker with bitterness.

My lord, such an ending is not the future he envisioned!
boom!
The severe pain from his cheek interrupted the thoughts of Rockbreaker Werther.

He only felt a piece of metal hitting his face heavily, and the huge force on it knocked his stiff body to the ground.

But he himself escaped a disaster, avoiding the onslaught of two ghouls.

The next moment, Renn rushed in front of him like a god descending from the earth, and covered the gray dwarf's body behind him. With the sound of whistling wind, the refined long sword in his hand drew an arc of light in front of his eyes, and hit the food hard. On the body of the ghoul.

Onslaught!

With a muffled sound, a head soared into the sky.

Rockbreaker Werther is a level 4 rogue with a lot of experience, how could he die in the hands of you wild monsters!
The companion was killed, and the remaining two ghouls were aroused fiercely, roaring and pounced on Ren.

Ren let out a heavy breath, and was about to take the opponent's attack with his sword, but unexpectedly a short and sturdy figure came out from behind.

It was Thorin the Rockbreaker who took care of his opponent and rushed to help.

"Damn bastard, you dare to attack my younger brother, grandpa smash your ghost heads!"

The roaring gray dwarf exerted [-]% of its strength, and while roaring, he swung the war pick in his hand out of the afterimage, knocking the two ghouls to the point of bleeding and howling.

At this time, relying on the gray dwarf's natural resistance to toxins, in less than a few breaths, Rockbreaker Werther got rid of the paralysis and regained his freedom.

Suppressing the pain in his cheek, he got up from the ground, holding the dagger and joined the battle group silently.

With the three of them working together, the last two ghouls persisted for less than ten seconds before they were chopped into pieces.

The battle soon came to an end, and the ghouls had no valuable spoils, so the only hope for the gray dwarf brothers was to see what was in the barracks.

However, Ryan does not hold out much hope for this.

Can you count on a group of miners hiding valuables?

Rockbreaker Thorin glanced at his troubled younger brother, sighed softly, and sent him to search for valuable spoils in the miners' barracks.

This time, without his reminder, the rockbreaker Werther, who had been taught a lesson, had raised his vigilance in his heart.

Glancing at the figure of his younger brother who disappeared into the darkness, Rockbreaker Sorin turned his head to look at Ren, and solemnly said:
"Brother Sri, thank you very much."

If it wasn't for Rennes' decisive help just now, his reckless younger brother might not be able to support himself.

Then, the final scene was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Facing the thanks of the gray dwarf warrior, Renn smiled lightly and said:

"Brother Thorin, are we teammates? Isn't it what teammates should do to help their companions out of danger?"

He wouldn't say it, he was afraid that this big pile of experience would be accidentally ruined by wild monsters, so he would say it with a heartache.

Hearing this, the gray dwarf warrior was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly to Ren, and said no more.

Oh, trust!

In the Underdark, betrayal and conspiracy are common, but trust is so rare and rare.

You need to be careful all the time, your companion will suddenly become an opponent in the next moment, sticking out your fangs.

But he didn't expect that during his trip to the surface, he could feel a strong trust in himself from a human kid.

However, this trust, in the end, will eventually turn into impotent rage.

In order to cover his tracks, this kid had to become their brother's captive in the end, and was sold into the Underdark.

What a wonderful look on his face when he found out that he was not a good dwarf but a sinister duergar then.

I really look forward to the arrival of that time, looking forward to seeing the angry and desperate eyes of this human kid...

Just thinking about it made Rockbreaker Thorin feel a little excited.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Rockbreaker Werther appeared in front of the two of them again.

Sure enough, there was nothing valuable in this miner's barracks. He only found a few fist-sized gold ore in it, which was probably bought by the miners back then.

It's a pity that with the riots of wild creatures, they never had the chance to take these ores out of the Phandalin mines.

In terms of valuing precious metals, the dwarves have a natural advantage.

Just weighing it in his hands, Rockbreaker Thorin knew that the quality of the ore his brother found was extremely low. Even after smelting, the total value would not exceed 200 golden eagle coins.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Putting a few pieces of gold ore into the dimensional bag, Sorin the Rockbreaker signaled the three to continue to explore.

Due to the mine veins, the mine path was not straight forward, but curved. The three of them moved forward cautiously, dismissed a few skeletons that didn't have long eyes, and soon came to a three-way intersection.

Thorin the Rockbreaker nodded to his younger brother, and the other knew it, and hid in the shadows, looking forward.

Sure enough, there is a rogue in the team during the adventure, which is still very powerful.

Although the strength of normal rogues belongs to the sewer type, their various small methods are quite useful, such as detecting traps and unlocking locks.

Rockbreaker Werther quickly returned to the two, and reported to his brother the respective conditions of the three forked roads.

At the end of the fork on the left is a hidden stone gate. The sound of water can be heard in the depth of the fork in the middle, which seems to be connected to an underground river. The fork on the far right has various mining tools discarded on both sides, and it seems to lead to the mining area. .

How to go?
Whether it was Rockbreaker Werther or Ren, they all looked at Rockbreaker Thorin.

After pondering for a while, Rockbreaker Thorin pointed the pickaxe in his hand to the left.

"Look to the left first."

Soon, the three of them came to the stone gate.

Ren, who is extremely sensitive to energy perception, instantly noticed the faint negative energy emanating from behind the stone gate.

There are undead creatures behind the door!
Ren's eyes were fixed, his lips parted, but in the end he didn't remind the "teammates" beside him.

Looking at the wealth of the two, one can tell that there are many good things in their hands, even undead with a higher challenge level can chew on them.

That being the case, he was happy to consume the stamina and props of his "teammates", so why should he remind them?

Crunch!

After confirming that there were no traps on the stone door, Rockbreaker Werther opened the rusty door lock with a lockpicking tool, and then gently pushed it open.
