Chapter 295

My Villains Episode 295

54. Paladin (3)

First, I checked to see if I had any equipment I could use.

“Hmm.”

For now, the weapon was put off for a while.

Both ‘Morning Star’ and ‘Black Ice’ that I was using were unique equipment, and the unique options were useful, so I didn’t feel like changing them.

In the end, my interest naturally turned to armor.

First of all, the ‘Emperor’s bounty’ set.

In addition to legendary level of physical defense, it is an excellent armor with various resistances, but it is an item with a decisive penalty.

The fixed option ‘noble self-righteousness’ is the penalty. Excluding the emperor’s bounty set, it was a truly dog-like option that prohibited the wearing of unique-grade armor and accessories.

Because of this ‘noble self-righteousness’, he had to give up all of the unique equipment he had previously worn, ‘Seal of the Dragon Slayer’, ‘Death King’s Scale Belt’, ‘Death King’s Scale Handcuffs’ and ‘Aelopos’ in order to wear the Emperor’s bounty set.

In fact, if you decide to stick to the defensive side, it’s better to accept the penalty and use the emperor’s bounty.

However, the Blood Knight is a class where the balance of offense and defense is important. Sacrificing a total of 8 points of strength and agility for various skill support options, plus giving up the special ability of Aeloforce, would be too much of a loss in the offensive aspect.

And, outside of performance, I’m a little reluctant.

The ‘Emperor’s bounty’ consists of a golden helmet with red tassels and a golden full body armor with a red shoulder belt. Aside from the fact that the style is from an ancient empire, it is an overly fancy item.

Well, considering the performance, it might not be such a big flaw to arrange an overly flashy exterior...

but it’s a bit like that. It would be embarrassing if

I wore it .

The ‘Rock of Corinth’ was a shield shaped like a rough-cut granite with a handle embedded in it.

As it is a unique grade, it is an item with exceptional performance. Like a shield, it is extremely hard, and if you use magic on the basics, you can cast a slowing spell that can be stacked on the attacker.

But I couldn’t use it at all. Because it’s too heavy.

Even though my current strength is a whopping 36 points if I add the 32-point equipment option, the movement is noticeably sluggish when I lift it with one hand. I think I can use it without penalty for body movements when my strength is in the early 40s.

I wanted to recommend it to Utequai, but it was obvious he would reject it, so I gave up.

The most crucial reason to use a shield is to defend against long-range projectiles, including arrows. However, since he has the ‘Blessing of the Veil’ tattoo that nullifies most long-range projectiles, the value of the shield fades.

Besides, if you go berserk, you throw away things like shields, so it’s meaningless. I’ll recommend it at that time when the ‘Guidance of the Mother Goddess’ is more mature and you can perfectly maintain your usual reason even if you go berserk.

Next is ‘Pure White’.

Just like its name, it is plate armor that boasts a beautiful white color.

In the game, ‘Pure White Knight Archibald’, a named cathedral knight he encountered before, spit out with a low probability, and in reality, Luke’s skull knight was wearing it for some reason.

No, it’s not that I don’t know what it is.

A paladin in the game died and was resurrected as a skeleton soldier by the necromancer ‘Corse manners’, and that must have somehow affected the world.

Anyway, pure white is a very good armor.

It grants resistance close to immunity to curses and black magic, as well as some resistance to magic and elements, and also increases vitality a little.

If a paladin wears it, it becomes the best armor as a bonus is added to the ‘salvation’ skill, but it is also useful for a blood knight.

Unlike the plate armor he was wearing right now, there was no order to lighten it. So it’s a little heavy, but it’s a level that I can handle enough with my strength.

“Are you going to use it?”

“uh? why?”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

The one who said that was Heila, who was watching me pick out equipment with Mungchi. She pointed to her white chest and said.

“That’s the mark of a ‘White Shepherd’.”

“The White Shepherd’s Mark?”

Looking at it again, the pure white breastplate was embossed with the figure of a man holding a long staff. Behind the embossing, a ringed cross was engraved like a background, giving off a strange atmosphere.

...was there such a thing? I didn’t see it when the Skeleton Knight was wearing it.

“What is a white shepherd?”

“The patron saint of pioneering.”

“...a patron saint? ah.”

Only then is the knowledge that was dormant in Phoenix’s memory revived.

Kwangmyeonggyo has three patron saints whose names are unknown. They are the ‘Flower Maiden’, the ‘Sun Rider’ and the White Shepherd. They are the patron saints of farming and war, respectively, and are popular among the people.

“...Would that be a problem?”

ha damn It’s very hard to have to pay attention to the church.

Well, Utequai liked Mammon’s big, heavy hand much more than the forearm-length Nakseong, so it didn’t matter much right now.

‘Blacksmith’s Gauntlets’ are thick gloves made of sheet metal and iron chains.

First of all, the material was steel, so it was able to protect the hand, and it was a magic tool that gave fire resistance close to immunity to the hand. It must be a very useful item for Utequai, who gets burns on his hands every time he uses the Felfire Whip.

Thus, Utequai was armed with the feathered ‘steel vault’, ‘predator’s seal’, ‘infernal whip’, ‘mammon’s hand’ and ‘blacksmith’s gauntlets’.

As a tattoo berserker who does not wear armor, the number of equipment is small, but all of them have been used.

Oh, and Utequai returned the magic tool ‘Shock War Hammer’ obtained from the named Orc warrior ‘Modor’. Now that I have mammon’s hand, it’s useless. We should keep it well and sell it to mercenaries at an auction.

Unfortunately, the only thing worth giving to Mungchi was the ‘Geo-gul’, which was broken in half.

He didn’t use a heavy weapon like a trident or a glape one-handed sword, and even if he had a longbow or a crossbow in his hand, it was difficult to use because of lack of strength.

Heavy and noisy plate armor was not an option in the first place for an assassin who needed agile movement.

“Is that cool? I like this one.”

Fortunately, Moongchin was satisfied with the palace alone.

Well, even in my opinion, the palace was a pretty useful weapon for him.

A sharp cow sword that could cut through sheet metal would be a trump card and a useful secondary weapon. Durability was lacking, but it didn’t matter because I wasn’t good at grouping swords anyway. The length, which was broken in half and shortened to the length of the forearm, was rather close to an advantage for him.

In addition to the ‘Ring of Concentration’ that helps recover physical strength and magic power during battle, ‘Blinking Dagger’, which has special abilities, ‘Blinking Dagger’, which is a sword with magical powers, and ‘Blinking Dagger’ that jumps over space. It was even equipped with a palace.

“Hmm.”

Compared to Nana Utequai, the equipment is a little weak. In addition, there are a few throwing daggers and wrist crossbows, but those are just ordinary items, not magic tools.

I think it would be nice to hand over one of the two long swords I have...

“Eh?” He tilted his head with an innocent face that gathered in my stare. I smiled and stroked the boy’s head.

Giving him a unique longsword would be meaningful only after properly teaching him swordsmanship. I guess I’ll have to work on improving his swordsmanship for a while.

“I’m done.”

“...what?”

“I mean the equipment. I don’t need it.”

Before I could say anything, Heila struck the head with a very determined tone.

“Well, let’s say it’s a weapon. But shouldn’t I wear armor?”

“no.”

“why’?”

“You look ugly.”

One day, I got a piece of clothing called ‘Dignified Robe’ from Starmaker Soleva.

It was a piece of equipment with excellent performance that prevented attacks with blades to some extent, but even then, Heila refused to wear it with a single word, ‘You’re ugly’, just like now. It was thanks to such a story that the long, rustic wedding dress had been stuck in the bottom of the cart until now.

“Yeah, but this time, you have a choice. Pick one of them.”

The two options were the plate armor I had previously worn and the new plate armor I had recently acquired.

The one I used had scratches here and there and a hole in the back and waist, but it could be used as new if repaired, and the new one was a good one with chains attached to each joint instead of the sheet metal being split into several pieces.

But

“I hate both.”

“No, why?”

“I told you. Ugly.”

“Aren’t you doing too much?”

“what?”

“Hana was the one I used.”

“...however?” “You didn’t say a word when I was wearing it, so you were mocking me, thinking I was ugly on the inside, right?”

“no.”

Heila blinked and said in a determined tone.

“It suits you well. I’m tall and I like the frame. I look fat when I wear it.”

“Try on once and say...

“You don’t have to try on. I know it when I see it.”

After giving a firm answer, Heila voluntarily withdrew from equipment distribution.

......Uhh. Anyway, I’m stubborn in the weird part.
