When he saw Tina, Liang Lidong couldn't help but think of Dinah. She was a blonde girl with a ponytail who always had a faint smile on her face. Her body was slender and well-proportioned because of years of exercise, and her blue eyes were gentle and firm. She was a competent Saint Samurai who was neither fast nor slow, but exuded an inexplicable motherly gentleness. Liang Lidong knew very well that if he didn't already have Blondie and Whitey, he would definitely fall in love with Dinah, the clean and transparent gentle girl.
Compared with Dinah, Tina's temperament was far inferior, but her face was too similar to Dinah's. When Liang Lidong saw her, it was as if he saw his good friend. His life in the Guelph family in the game came to his mind bit by bit.
Shocked by Liang Lidong's words, Tina took a long time to come back to herself. She pointed at her own nose in disbelief. "Me? Paladin? "
Because the nobles had more resources, many of them could become professionals. The only thing that could stop them from becoming stronger was their own negative personality of laziness. Of course, occasionally, for some reason, they didn't know that they had the talent to become professionals. Tina looked weak, but she was beautiful and looked like Tina. Beauty was actually a kind of talent in itself, which was the embodiment of high Charm. A person with high Charm didn't necessarily look beautiful, but someone who looked beautiful definitely had high Charm.
If one had high Charm, they could become a Paladin, a Summoner, a Bard, a Warlock, and so on. In addition to Charm, a Summoner also had high Intelligence requirements. A Warlock needed a special bloodline, and a Bard needed musical skills. Only Paladin had low requirements. As long as one had high Charm and believed in a Good Alignment god, everything else didn't matter. Of course, it would be even better if the other attributes of the Paladin were also very high.
In fact, most good-looking men and women could become Paladin. Whether it was on Earth or in another world, it was a world where appearance was everything.
Liang Lidong looked at Tina and smiled. "You do have the talent to become a Paladin. As long as you can endure hardship, I think you can become a powerful professional."
Liang Lidong's words were not false. Paladin was a bugged profession. As the level increased, the characteristic of this profession was to transform Charm into one's own combat power and improve one's comprehensive ability. Moreover, this characteristic was a passive supernatural talent that could not be dispelled by any magic. Also, because of Paladin's extremely high Charm value, they could learn group encouragement aura specialties. It could be said that Paladin were the best among all professions in terms of individual combat ability and group cooperative combat ability.
Every profession had its own shortcomings, and Paladin was the same. Because Paladin was a special Good Alignment profession, they couldn't increase their strength by killing (they couldn't kill monsters to level up), and because Paladin were believers of the gods, they must have enough piety and understand the teachings of the gods in order to borrow stronger power from the gods. In simpler words, if a Paladin wanted to level up, they must flatter the gods. The better they flattered, the higher their level would be.
Moreover, the power of Paladin was borrowed from the gods. If they did too many things that violated the teachings, their strength (level) would drop, and in serious cases, they would even become ordinary people again. And most importantly, because the strength of Paladin came from the gods, Paladin could never break through level 20. In other words, no matter how powerful a Paladin was, they could never become a god. Because if a Paladin became a god, there would be a conflict with the gods they believed in.
But a level 20 Paladin had no opponents in the human world.
Hearing Liang Lidong's words, Tina was a little happy. Anyone who heard others affirm their potential would be like this. She glanced at Darwin, then turned back and asked, "Sir Beta, what do I need to do to become a Paladin?"
"First of all, you have to choose a god and believe in him devoutly." Liang Lidong said slowly, "After you become a devout believer, you will keep praying to the god you believe in, telling him that you are willing to become his sword, protect the people of the god, and eliminate evil. If you are devout enough, the god will hear your wishes and grant you divine grace. At that time, you will become a real Paladin."
Darwin's eyes lit up. "It doesn't sound difficult, and I heard that Paladins are very strong. Sir, can I become a Paladin? "
Liang Lidong nodded. Darwin was very handsome and charming. As long as he understood the teachings of the god, it wouldn't be a problem to become a Paladin. In the game, most of the people who could become Paladin were nobles, and a few were the children of rich merchants. They were more educated and understood the teachings. Although there were civilian Paladin, they were few in number, and their average development prospects weren't as good as the first two.
When Darwin was about to continue asking, fatty Gavin came down from upstairs. Tina immediately ran to him and held his hand, showing off. "Father, Sir Beta just said that I have the aptitude to become a Paladin. What do you think? I'm awesome, right?"
Surprise flashed in Gavin's eyes. Then he smiled lovingly and said, "Of course, my daughter is the best."
Tina was overjoyed to receive her father's praise. Gavin walked to Liang Lidong and said, "Mr. Beta, let's go. It's a race against time."
The boy and the girl saw off the two adults at the door, but neither of them was in the mood to be sweet anymore. They were both attracted by the word Paladin.
The carriage carried them away from the manor of the Guelph family. After half an hour of silence, Gavin suddenly asked, "Sir, you weren't just brushing Tina off when you said that she had the talent to become a Paladin, were you?"
"I rarely lie." Liang Lidong smiled.
Gavin was rather delighted. "Then what can she do to become a Paladin?"
Because of the asymmetry of information, most NPCs in the game didn't know the specific requirements to become a professional. They only knew how to raise common professionals based on their experience. There were successes and failures. Players, on the other hand, could list accurate data in most intelligence reports. There were only three requirements to become a Paladin:
1. The basic growth of Charisma was equal to or greater than 7.
2. She believed in a good god, and her Piety was greater than 15.
3. She triggered a telepathic conversation while praying and conveyed her will to become a Paladin.
After all three requirements were met, she could become a Paladin. Of course, Liang Lidong couldn't tell them the exact numbers. He simply described the three requirements. After hearing that, Gavin pondered for a long time and said, "It doesn't sound difficult, but why are there so few Paladin in this world? According to you, it's not difficult to become a Paladin. "
"It's not difficult to become a Saint Samurai," Liang Lidong waved his hand and said, "What's difficult is to consistently carry out the ideals that you've reached with God. There are too many temptations in this world, such as beauty, power, and wealth. One wrong step may lead to another. Once a Paladin deviates from the doctrine, it's easy for them to decline in strength and even turn back into an ordinary person. I've seen many people who became Paladin only to return to their original state after only a few months. "
"Is that so?" Gavin was deep in thought. He knew very well that there were too many temptations in this world for nobles.
Not long after, the carriage stopped. Woken up from his thoughts, Gavin was the first to get off the carriage, followed by Liang Lidong.
What appeared before them was a large forest of birches. Gavin asked the guards to stay nearby, and he led Liang Lidong into the woods. He was holding a bright green magic nameplate in his hand. The moment they walked into the woods, the magic nameplate emitted a green light, and the air around the birches was suddenly twisted. A stone path suddenly appeared in front of them. After they walked in, the stone path was gone, and the birches were back to normal.
At this moment, in Liang Lidong's eyes, it was no longer a forest of birches but a field of flowers, where flowers were blooming and butterflies were dancing. Next to the field of flowers was a group of about thirty tombstones. Gavin looked ahead and said slowly, "This is the place where our people rest. It's been more than a hundred years since our branch family came to Winterwind. All the people who died during this period are buried here. There's a similar place in our main family, where there are hundreds of tombstones. "
This place was indeed rather sensitive. No wonder Gavin forbade Liang Lidong from telling anyone else.
"You said that something is wrong. What is it exactly?" asked Liang Lidong.
"Follow me!" Gavin led Liang Lidong to an enormous tombstone. "Take a look for yourself, sir. I believe you can make your own judgment."
The pedestal in front of the tombstone has been destroyed, revealing a dark hole, and there is a strange smell coming out of it.
