Looking at the long gold-tinged silver hair of the paladin lady in front of him, her holy face and fair skin that were incompatible with this desert, Bowen felt a trace of envy in his heart.
She asserted.
Bowen, the young warrior who was also the leader, gratefully thanked this holy girl who could make people feel ashamed.
The wanderers who were on alert around noticed something was wrong and quickly reported it.
With the Freshwater Desert as the center, the west is the boundary of the Subiron Empire, and the east is the south-central end of the Saint Sauron World Mountains, which is now under the jurisdiction of the Dragon City.
"There is a strong man in there."
To the west of the Dragon City is a land called the Freshwater Desert. The reason why it is called this is because there was a huge freshwater lake in the long past, and countless creatures lived around the lake.
at this time-
'It's a pity that she is a paladin! '
"Huh..."
However, in the era when the gods did not appear, priests were rare, and mages were even more "grandfathers". It was naturally impossible for an ordinary adventurer team to have that kind of professional.
But whether they were mummies or special gnolls, they were no match for this powerful paladin lady, and were easily destroyed by her divine power.
Everyone in the adventurer team breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down their weapons in a state of vigilance.
Push forward a few days—
Roselea, the current leader of the Holy Iris Knights of the Slaine Theocracy, is a ninth-level near-legendary paladin. This time she will go to the Dragon City to face the evil dragon and ask for her freedom. The holy relic of the Knights, although she knew that going to the Dragon City with her own power and confronting an evil ancient demigod dragon would be a narrow escape, she still went there without hesitation.
These warriors of the Dawn Goddess are all people with noble and holy souls. They value glory above all else and dedicate their souls, swords and lives to the battle against all evil. They spread justice and are the enforcers of the law. , helping the poor and hating the greedy, it is simply the perfect embodiment of God’s posture in the world.
This paladin lady was met by the adventurer team in the desert. At that time, the paladin lady was walking alone in the desert. Seeing that she was a paladin, Bowen had the courage to go over and strike up a conversation. After knowing that she was After going to the Dragon City, he invited her to join his team, so that he could have someone to look after him on the way.
"'Holy Word Judge'!"
…
Although sometimes it is annoying for the Paladins to be too stubborn, their souls and moral character are absolutely flawless.
A noble female voice came, and along with a holy word, the mummy let out a shrill roar, and in the blink of an eye, it was covered in green smoke and dissipated in the desert.
"Be careful, that's a mummy!"
Bowen did not dare to guess the professional level of this paladin lady, but he probably was at level seven or even level eight. This level of powerhouse was generally not something that a mid-level warrior like him would dare to come into contact with. Fortunately, she was a saint. warrior.
Bowen sighed secretly, this time the road to the Dragon City was not smooth. Not only did they encounter a large number of desperate vicious dogs, but they also encountered Yeenoghu Fang, a special race of jackals, and now they encountered mummies. It's better not to have any mummy lord appear when you come down, otherwise they will all be annihilated except Miss Paladin.
"You don't need to say thank you, Mr. Bowen! It is my duty to eliminate evil, and it is my duty to protect good people from evil!"
A bard chanted a spell in a singing voice, summoning a group of flying insects and beasts, temporarily stopping the mummy in front of him. This is one of the innate spells that the bard can learn after advancing, and it is the same as those of the mage. The nine-level spells that can be learned through study are different. Even the most powerful bard can only cast six-level spells.
"carriage?"
Although not everyone likes the people of Theocratic State, there is one type of people in Theocratic State who are respected by everyone, and that is the holy warriors known as God's Chosen Warriors.
It was quite strange to see a carriage in the desert. For a moment, all the adventurers stood up and became alert. Even the paladin named Rose Leia looked solemnly and looked to the west. .
The paladin known as Rose Leia has a noble tone, a sacred face, and an awe-inspiring aura.
The soldier who was knocked away looked very experienced and was still in command at this time.
No one knows how this lake disappeared. Some say it was the movement of nature, while others say it was a battle of gods that took place here in the ancient past. The power of the gods turned the lake into a desert. But so far, No one knows the true cause of this desert.
This is a paladin, and an extremely powerful paladin at that.
Sometimes these paladins are so stubborn that they don't even listen to the papal orders of the Theocracy. The paladins are also the most trusted but also the most troublesome group in the Theocracy.
This is an eight-person adventurer team, including warriors, rogues, bards, and rangers. Except for the lack of mages and priests, this can be regarded as a standard team.
A pure, lively and curious voice came from the carriage.
Bowen sighed again.
After reciting the incantation, the bard also raised his rapier and joined the battle group.
"Your Highness, there is a group of adventurers ahead."
"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Roselea!"
"Hey? This is the first time we see adventurers in this freshwater desert. Can you stop and let me take a look?"
'Fortunately, I was brave enough to invite this paladin, otherwise some of my companions would have died on the way to the Dragon City this time. '
But because of this, these paladins don't understand love at all. They think it is selfish. Only dedicating their body and mind to the gods is the meaning of their existence. Only when they defeat evil can they choose the sacrifice of depravity.
"Be careful not to get hurt by this mummy. Its claws are poisonous! Prepare the antidote first."
It was a girl as holy and beautiful as an iris. She was wearing a pure white monk's robe, covering her figure under the loose monk's robe. In this desert, she still looked solemn and unsmiling, like a The pure saint, even the wind and sand cannot stain her white robe.
But outside of the ordinary adventure team of eight people, there was an extra woman.
The young soldier Bowen reminded his comrades loudly, and at the same time raised the giant sword in his hand and rushed forward, blocking the withered mummy's arm in front of him.
"Captain, there is a carriage coming from the west!"
But now, tens of thousands of years later, the freshwater lakes have completely disappeared, leaving only such a huge desert.
It's just that this evil creature looks so shriveled from the outside, but its strength is huge. With a swing of its arm, it can send the warrior flying. Fortunately, another warrior holding up a shield took his place. , blocking the mummy’s pursuit.
Bowen was a little surprised. Could there be someone coming in a carriage in this desert? If it were those delicate nobles, even if they wanted to cross the Empire and the Dragon City, they would never choose this desert. Instead, they would choose a long detour just to make the journey more comfortable.
