When a profession is given a holy name by the world, while becoming dazzling, it also begins to shoulder the pressure that others dare not imagine.
Once the holy warrior receives this glorious title, he has nothing but the gods he worships in his heart, he cannot marry a wife, he cannot have children, he cannot have property, he cannot accept knighthood, he must abide by his teachings in words and deeds, he must not flinch from evil, he must be willing to help the weak, and he must seek justice for the poor...
They are like puppets who can only carry out the orders of the gods and cannot have desires, walking in the world, fighting against evil, and then dying in a certain battle, and finally their souls go to the kingdom of the gods.
Despite the tedious life of the paladins and the demands of restrictions, there are still many righteous people who dream of becoming one of them, and Velot is one of them.
Becoming a paladin requires rigorous training and testing, followed by a three-year field trip during which they must not act in any way and seek justice for every injustice they encounter.
Velot is a Tyre Paladin who is still in his training, he set out from the southern Duchy of the Rhine, all the way north, and now it is his third year, and he is almost at the end of his training to become a real Tyre Paladin, wearing the silver badge of the Hand of Justice.
However, his last journey was not destined to be uneventful, and the day before yesterday, he traveled to the outskirts of the city of Oni, and happened to witness a robber riding a horse and snatching a shepherd girl, and he tried to chase it, but the robber had a horse, and he had only two legs, and was soon thrown away.
But in broad daylight, when such a robbery of young girls took place, how could Vilot, as a holy warrior of justice, not care? He continued to investigate outside the city, and also visited some villages scattered outside the city, only to learn that dozens of young girls had recently been robbed by robbers.
This is definitely a gang of bandits who are organized, disciplined, and have a clear purpose! Vilot, who is no longer a rookie, immediately has a decision.
Although Tyr taught him to do justice even if he sacrificed himself, this did not mean that he was encouraging his paladins to die brutally, and Vellot, knowing that he could not deal with a group of highly organized bandits on his own, traveled to the city of Oni in the hope of receiving help from the local church.
It's a pity that there is no temple of Tyre in Oni City, and the churches of other gods will not easily send elite forces to help an alien Tyre holy warrior.
After asking for help to no avail, he tried to visit the local lord, and although he was finally received by Count Haniri, he only received one sentence: I have sent someone to the adventurer's guild to issue a mission, and you should be able to find a companion there to explore together.
So Vilot arrives at the Adventurers' Guild in Oni City, and stumbles upon Austin, a rare illiterate special mage, in front of the quest bulletin board.
The quest of 'Finding the Missing Girl' is prominently posted at the top of the bulletin board, and the huge bounty of 2000 gold coins is so eye-catching, it is difficult to think about it, but under such a high bounty, the difficulty of the task can be imagined, it requires the adventurer who takes the task to find and rescue the missing girl, and the mission period is limited to one week.
This is definitely a difficult task, if the captured girls have all been murdered, who can find them with just a fire? Besides, even if they do, will it be easy for those who dare to commit such a big crime to deal with? Almost every adventurer who saw the task shook his head, and he had no intention of taking it at all.
Moreover, almost all of them have heard of the devil eating people rumored in the city, but anyone with some information channels knows that the situation behind this matter is complicated, so they would rather squeeze their scalps to do some ordinary tasks with very low returns, rather than touch this task that will die if they are not careful.
"Will you take on this mission?" asked Velote bluntly after telling Austin the details of 'Finding the Missing Girl' on the taskbar.
"Yes!" Austin replied succinctly and firmly.
Feeling the incomparably strong will emanating from Austen, Velout stretched out his hand to him, finally let go of the expression that had always remained serious, grinned, showed white teeth, and said with a smile: "My name is Vellot von Hain, and I am very happy to be on this mission with you. "
"My name is Austin, a pauper with no surname, and I am happy to fight alongside an upright paladin. Austin smiled and held out his hand to shake Wilot's.
But these two newcomers, who had just become companions, had a little trouble when it came time to register for the quest: neither of them had ever registered with the Adventurers' Guild.
Velot is easy to do, he has the identity of the Church of the God of Justice, he only needs to go through the process of registering for the mission in the name of the church, and he has done this in the adventurer's guild elsewhere before. But Austin has to register from scratch, which is a cumbersome process, you need to get a registration form, you need to fill in personal information, and you have to be reviewed by the relevant people of the Adventurer's Guild, and you can only become an adventurer before you can take on the mission.
"I think that's it, you take the task, and we'll do it together, otherwise when the registration is finished, who knows when?" Austin said dryly. He clearly knew that if he did this, he would not get any reward even if he completed it, but he was not for the money, but for his Kelly, and it was enough to make him happy to find a powerful companion here.
"Can you tell me why? "Velott surprised Austin for the second time today.
"My love, Kelly, she disappeared yesterday ..."
In front of his companions, who were about to die together, Austin told the truth, and this was the first time he confided his love for Kelly.
After listening quietly to Austin's speech, the paladin patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can understand your feelings, but I think you need more wine now." "
"yes, it's time for me to get drunk. Would you like to have a few drinks with me?" Austin smiled and then made an invitation. He had had many ups and downs throughout the day, and he really needed some help with wine.
"Paladins don't ban alcohol, and Tyr teaches us that the right amount of alcohol can summon courage in our bodies!"
"Then please come with me, I know where there is enough strong liquor here, but we better buy it and drink it at my house, it's getting dark, Kelly's sister is home alone, I can't worry, you know the girls in and out of the city are in danger right now. You don't mind, do you?"
Of course, Austin hadn't forgotten the news that Erina was waiting for him at home, as he himself said, how could he leave her alone at home in the dark night, when the girls were all in unknown danger?
"Gladly. Of course, Velot didn't mind, and agreed very simply, and even because of Austin's concern for Kelly's family, her favorability increased.
