V1.Chapter 179

"What should we do now?"

One of the not-so-young aristocratic old men frowned and said slowly: "In the past few years, none of us have never touched mines, trade, slaves, and the black market, and everyone has some blood on their bodies. If those lunatics really If the chaos comes, we may be implicated, can we ask the Temple of Wealth to expel them? It’s okay to spend more money!”

For this old man, the sturdy man's attitude was obviously much better, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"The Goddess of Wealth is neutral, and her priest and church are also neutral. It is impossible to deal with the paladins, which is equivalent to telling the world that they have turned to the evil camp. What's more, the hand of silver carries the artifact [the star of the day]. , that artifact was given to him by the Holy Spirit of the Lord of Radiance. If the Church of Fortune dared to attack the Hand of Silver, it would be a direct war with the Church of Radiance. At that time, it was not just the paladins, I am afraid that the priests The army will come too."

clergy.

There are more headaches than paladins. Although they are not so extreme, they are quite large in number.

These guys are mainly active in the City of Glory, and occasionally help fight against the evil drow elves, but the main focus is still on demons and devils, and they are quite tolerant of evil actions in the world. After all, the ruling class must exploit the commoners. As long as the food is not ugly and there is no heinous behavior, they will treat it as nothing.

Otherwise, it won't work at all!

Paladins are rarely dispatched, and this is the reason. They cannot ignore evil, but what if they go out and encounter victims and ask the Paladins for help?

ignore him?

That goes against the path of the paladin.

Help him?

How much can a paladin change? The order of the world is like that, killing an evildoer. Will there be new people coming out? As long as the interests and power are still there, there will always be people who will be corrupted and degenerate. A kingdom has both wise rulers and tyrants. Can a paladin overthrow a kingdom because of a tyrant?

The Silver Hand is a special case after all, and he has an artifact in his hand. He is the most powerful paladin.

He is also a bloodline descendant of the Lord of Radiance.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of whether the strength is enough. The strength of the paladins today is not enough. As long as these people dare to throw their brains to detect evil, the Dark Domain and the Gray Domain will kill them all that day. But it is because the strength of the paladins that appeared this time is too strong, so powerful that even the City of Fortune dare not act rashly, and the Church of Fortune dare not expel them, so there is such a headache, a group of poor people ask them for help. justice. Nor can they go against the path of belief, and in the end it becomes a situation where they have to do something.

To ignore evil is to go against the faith of the paladin.

Fighting against evil is almost like fighting against the entire city of wealth!

So Sauron felt that the paladins were pitiful.

"Paladins have no right to judge nobles either!"

A man with a cold and gentle face suddenly said: "The Church of the Lord of Radiance will not allow the paladins to fight against the nobles! Which of the wealth we have accumulated over the generations is less than killing! Even if we do not do mines, slaves, and black markets, we will still Someone else will take over! The city of wealth will not be the city of wealth at that time.”

"I think the hand of silver also understands this. If they have the ability, they can purify the abyss and hell!"

"Compared with devils and demons, our sins are not worth mentioning at all! At least we have maintained order in the city, so that those untouchables can have food to work, and they have not been completely reduced to chaos and killing places. If not for us to maintain the law , that group of untouchables may not even have the present day. Pirates, adventurers, and fallen people from all over the world, who doesn’t covet the wealth here?”

These words elicited a great deal of recognition.

There are even nobles shouting if they don't offer protection to the poor. Provide land for farming, and all these pariahs will starve to death, and all will be eaten by monsters.

The burly man thought for a moment and said slowly: "The problem is not these! It's how we deal with these paladins now!"

"They're not going to let it go, or they'd go against their beliefs."

The gloomy man looked around and said slowly, "For the dead ghost!"

"The heads of those gangs, responsible for the slave trade, responsible for the black market trade, and organizations that are obviously not very obedient. We can catch them as scapegoats. These people are all bloody debts, and we can just use the hands of the paladins to eradicate them. This appeases the pariahs and gives the paladins an explanation."

"I don't think the Silver Hand is crazy enough to judge the nobles of the entire city of wealth?"

The most important thing in the ruling class is lawful evil.

They are not as cruel as the devils. But not much of what was handled was kind and noble.

"and also."

The gloomy man stood up and looked around, and said solemnly: "We must find that vampire god son as soon as possible! It is because of him that this group of paladins is attracted. If we don't get rid of him, this group of paladins may stay longer. time."

"I propose to send the army to search for him, and then let the Silver Hand deal with him."

This sentence silenced the surroundings for a while, and then the others nodded and said, "That's right. We must find out that Son of Fear. Otherwise, the paladin won't leave so easily."

The cause of everything is that vampire god son.

If he hadn't come to the city of wealth, the paladins would not have come after him, the poor would not have sought justice from them, and the nobles would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation. If there is no Silver Hand, it is a small problem to send someone to expel the paladins, or even make them disappear. But now that the Silver Hand has appeared, some attitudes must be made clear. If the noble council is willing to help him deal with the vampire son, then the paladins will not be crazy enough to judge them.

Is it possible to cause chaos in the world?

"it is good!"

The sturdy man patted the table and said solemnly: "Send the guards, send the city army! A comprehensive search of the city of wealth, we must find the vampire god child! Then catch those disobedient guys out, no need for paladins to do it. , we will execute these guys according to the law! Just because a paladin appears, the rules of the city of wealth cannot be broken!"

"As for those pariahs, there will be time to clean them up later."

Speaking of this, the burly man showed a cruel smile. He was forced into such a situation by a group of untouchables who inadvertently used the paladins as gunmen. It was impossible for him to have no anger in his heart.

Orders are issued one by one.

The cold man at the beginning couldn't help showing a smile, and there was a strange light in his eyes. "It should be able to force you out now? Stupid guy! Do you think that power can suppress everything? Now I want to see if you die!"

A conspiracy has begun to brew.

When the paladins first appeared, they became a sword, the sword used by the weak to seek justice, and the sword used by the wicked to deal with the enemy.

A paladin is a sad profession, and a very vulnerable one.

As long as they find a kind and honest victim to ask them for help, then they must face a choice, to help or not to help? Kneeling in front of you if you don't help, holding your thigh and kowtow, will you help or not at that time?

If you don't help once, you can, but two or three times your faith will collapse.

That's why there are so many former paladins in this world. There is no problem with helping. There are many people in need of help in this world. There are ordinary people who are mutilated by gangsters, and there are poor people who are oppressed and bullied by nobles. The world is full of tyrannical powers. You helped a kind-hearted poor man kill the gangster who forced his family to die, so do you want to get rid of this gangster by the way? Do you want to kill the officials and nobles who are behind the scenes as well?

After you maintain justice and pat your butt, it won't take long before a second gangster appears.

How many times can you fight? How many people can you beat?

Retreat is the decline of faith, the power of the paladin will become an ordinary warrior, you can't tolerate evil, and evil can't tolerate you.

Want to uphold justice? !

It's so simple, there are bullies in every town, and a person who detects evil is someone who has killed innocent civilians.

Can you kill it? How much evil can you judge?

Paladins are very powerful, but they are also very weak. They can't change the world. They can only protect the justice in their hearts in the difficult road.

So there is sadness in the eyes of those older paladins!

Because they have been tested again and again, not only in strength, but also in mind and will. Without the hand of silver here, they are not one at all.

A silver hand can force the city of wealth to compromise.

Two silver hands can wash away the evil depravity of the city of wealth.

Three Silver Hands can re-enact the rules of the City of Fortune, bringing it closer to the rules of lawful good.

Five Silver Hands can turn the city of wealth into the next city of glory.

pity.

There is always only one Silver Hand.

They can't change the city of wealth, let alone the world. The abyss and hell have existed for countless years. How many gods of the good camp have fought for this, and how many times the Lord of Glory has launched the battle of the kingdom of God as a cancer!

The final result?

The abyss is still the abyss, and the hell is still the hell.

Paladins are such a group of stubborn and tragic people who stick to their beliefs. They can only believe in the justice in their hearts, and cannot make the world justice.

Because the world is the world, and you are too weak.

………………

Sauron seemed to see something.

He heard the horns of the army dispatched, and could see the urgent assembly of the city guards. The guards had begun to set off. It seemed that the aristocratic forces in the city of wealth had made a compromise. They began to cleanse by their own means to prevent the paladins. They messed up to disrupt the order here. Pacify civilians with small-scale purges in exchange for the paladins not taking action.

This is undoubtedly a smart choice.

It seems that there are also not simple existences among the nobles of the city of wealth. (To be continued)
