Lord of Glory

"No! No! I'm different from you!" Macedonia seemed to be hurt by these words, and he roared at Paladin with a ferocious expression. Paladin was expressionless, tit for tat: "Then tell me what's the difference between you and me? You hypocritical guy." "I...I..." Seeing Macedonia speechless, Paladin's face showed sarcasm. The smile became more obvious. But at this moment, his ears suddenly twitched slightly as his facial features improved due to the fusion of light elements, and he clearly heard footsteps in the corridor outside.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he closed his eyes and listened carefully. You can clearly hear that the footsteps are weak and weak, and the feet are relatively large. Probably an older man. Coupled with the very slight cough, Paladin opened his eyes, looked at Macedonia with an angry face and said with a smile: "Look, our distinguished archbishop is back." After that, he ignored Macedonia and walked straight away. When he arrived at the door, he bowed down very respectfully.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Archbishop Salil walked in with a helpless look. Salil, who was originally very troubled by the domineering magister Nacimodo and the possible attitude of the Holy See, looked up and saw Macedonia standing in a daze opposite, carrying a sack of corpses. He immediately accused angrily: "It's been so long and it still hasn't been dealt with! I don't want to see the dead body left in the house, go quickly!"

After saying this, he saw Paladin bending down in front of him. He immediately took a step back and said with some surprise: "Paladin? What's wrong with you...have you seen everything?" Paladin straightened up very calmly and took a look at the costume. The sack of corpses, then looked back at Saril, who had a somewhat wary face, and said with a very sunny smile: "As a subordinate, I feel deeply ashamed that the Archbishop can have such a great wish to educate believers. I hope that Archbishop you will Allow me to save these lost lambs together!"

Salil was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to understand what Paladin meant. The first reaction is that this Paladin is too hypocritical! He could actually say that he was saving a lost lamb by currying favor with his boss and abducting a girl! But then, Salil's heart lit up! The goods recently found in Macedonia either resist too fiercely, are not in good shape, or are ugly in appearance. All in all, I didn’t have much fun. If this noble-born Paladin can help him, he might be able to find some high-quality goods with his vision! Thinking like this, Salil was a little moved. He had heard about the corrupt life among the nobles for a long time!

Seeing Paladin's smile, Salil also let go of his worries. After all, this kid is completely dependent on himself now. He is his backer. Naturally, I have to try my best to curry favor. He simply pretended to be a sad person and made the sign of the cross and sighed: "It is rare for His Excellency, Auxiliary Bishop Paladin, to have such kindness. Well, I will let Macedonia help you. I hope you will not let me down." Paladin looked at it. Salil had a kind face, but evil thoughts bloomed in his eyes. He bowed down again with great respect and said: "I will obey your demolition, my Archbishop."

Naturally, Paladin would not care about the Macedonian who was holding back his anger behind him. Because a person with a bottom line of conscience will not defeat him. Yes, Macedonia has a bottom line, as can be seen from the fact that he was angered by Paladin's own words just now. Such a guy has been doing dirty things for so long and still hasn't abandoned his moral bottom line. But that doesn't make sense to Paladin. Such things as moral bottom lines are nothing but spiritual shackles imposed on mediocre people. Not only will it not bring you wealth and status. It may even cause you to die at a critical moment. Therefore, the moral bottom line is that Paladin abandoned the Free Masons in the lush forest the moment he left the Free Masons. The real Paladin fell asleep together.

So, he followed Salil's expectant order. Macedon reluctantly took Paladin on horseback and rushed to the place where Macedon recently patrolled for prey. After crossing the entire camp, passing through a small forest and a creek, Paladin was really shocked by the small town in front of him, with people coming and going, and occasionally merchants hawking goods. This small town with all simple stone houses would not shock Paladin, but the problem is where it is. This is the border junction between the Kingdom of Aixinche and the Principality of Kasmi! And it is located in a plain, and most of the wars between the two countries took place in this area! How could a small town be built near a battlefield and seem to be relatively prosperous!

Macedon, who was riding on a tall horse and holding a cross flag, obviously saw Paladin's confusion. Although he didn't like getting along with this scum, due to Salil's request, he could only suppress his disgust and explained helplessly: "This town is called Qingshui Town. It belongs to neither Ai Xinzhe nor the Principality of Kasmi. It is a town without government management. The managers are some famous bandits."

At this point, Macedon saw Paladin's still puzzled look and had no choice but to continue explaining: "Originally, a hundred years ago, this place was deserted. But as the war between the two countries continued to escalate, bandits and deserters also increased. Some bandits even settled down directly and used this place as their base. In the beginning, because this place did not belong to any country, they often brought their stolen goods here and traded and sold them with other mercenaries, assassins, and thieves.

Then over time, it became much safer here than in the country, and there would be no well-fed guard captains coming to make trouble. More and more bandits and illegal elements are coming here. Either for refuge or to rest. In the end, it became a big place for selling stolen goods. The robbers sell the stolen goods for profit, which attracts many thieves, assassins and mercenaries. Because most of what they buy are rare items that are not available on the market. Later, businessmen took a fancy to this place and spent a lot of money to cooperate with the bandits to open taverns, shops and handicraft workshops here. Produce large quantities of materials to provide for people who come to consume them. "

Having said this, Macedonia pointed at the pedestrians on the street. He is not a mercenary who wears armor and goes to the blacksmith shop to look at weapons. They are assassins in black cloaks or other people with ulterior motives. Occasionally, some robbers patrolled back and forth with machetes, checking to see if there were any fat sheep worth a fortune. Looking at all this, Macedonia continued: "As you can see, after a hundred years of development, this place has become a very large criminal den. Murderers, thieves, spies, assassins, robbers, and female gangsters. And there are Factories, shops, blacksmiths, taverns and inns. This place has developed into the largest black market. Most of the principality’s shady underground transactions are completed here. But it should be noted that no one in this place is a good person. .The town is also a sin city filled with chaos and murder."

Paladin nodded indifferently. The original look of shock has gradually faded away. To put it simply, Qingshui Town is a city of criminals. All illegality is justified here, and everything is full of people cannibalizing people. It is reasonable for both countries not to pay attention to this place. Who doesn’t want criminals in their country to live abroad?

If this town disappears, these homeless criminals will flood into the country and cause destruction everywhere! Paladin, who understood somewhat, raised his head and looked around. I even noticed that a few bandits were staring at Paladin and laughing evilly, but after seeing Macedonia wearing Templar armor next to him and the cross flag he was holding, they mumbled and whispered, and escaped from the darkness. in the alley. Taking a deep breath, Paladin suddenly looked forward to this place. In a town with such naked primitive laws, if a group of people turned into mummies, no one would care.

Thinking of this, Paladin laughed secretly. It has been a long time since he tasted the delicious taste of the Stone of Truth and the pleasure of integrating the light element.
