The Wandering Holy Lance - Kevin Eno, is the only known Paladin in the Lance continent, and even in this world, who has entered the Holy Realm.
What is a Paladin, you ask
Yes, at first glance, paladins, knights, warriors, assassins, thieves, rangers and the like all use fighting spirit, and their essences should be the same. But this definition does not apply to paladins, because although paladins are strictly warriors, if someone says that they are a variant of priests, others will not refute it.
Because they not only possess fighting spirit, but also can release divine magic. Yes, strictly speaking, every paladin is a believer in a god that symbolizes justice or kindness. Because of their devout faith, the gods also gave them the power to release divine magic and manipulate light energy.
Well... there is one exception, and that is Alexander. This guy was born with the ability to manipulate light energy because of his status as a light splitter, but he was unable to use this energy to form magical spells. Therefore, Alexander is a very capable paladin.
Because it requires very devout faith and perseverance in the unremitting pursuit of kindness and justice, the number of knights who can truly receive God's favor is not very many. As for the knights under various churches, they have been suppressed by the two empires and have been laid off again and again. Therefore, in this world, the rarity of true Paladins is actually not much greater than that of Mages.
And Kevin Eno is a role model that all Paladins on this continent admire.
But Joffrey was very disgusted with Kevin because this guy was his brother's teacher. At the beginning, Joffrey was very proud of his magical talent. He was born tall and heroic, and even Ralphin was very satisfied with such a son. At that time, Alexander was just a frail little bean sprout. He doesn't have a strong body or outstanding magical talent. He seems to be accomplishing nothing!
Joffrey did not hate Alexander at the time, and even liked his younger brother when Alexander was only five or six years old. He always defended Alexander as an older brother. For this reason, he also served as a scapegoat for Alexander to withstand the punishment imposed by Larvin. But all this gradually changed when Kevin became Alexander's teacher.
That little bean sprout, that little guy who had been following him around and calling him "brother" seemed to have changed from that moment on. He is sunny, confident, and his physical fitness is changing at a rapid pace. A year later, the little sprout was as tall as Joffrey. But Joffrey was still very happy at that time, because his brother finally grew up. Shouldn't it be normal for his brother to be happy? He was even very grateful to Kevin for changing his brother!
But later, when Alexander awakened his first attribute ability under the guidance of Kevin, Joffrey found that his world had changed. Everyone looked at him with the greatest respect before, because they regarded him as the future heir to the empire. But since Alexander changed, he began to find that some people also cast that kind of gaze on Alexander. And Larvin also began to set his sights on Alexander. He no longer looked at himself with satisfaction and gratification, but instead criticized himself inexplicably.
Gradually, Joffrey realized that something was wrong. He felt that he was losing, not losing something, but losing everything, losing the whole world...
Therefore, the original pity and love were gradually replaced by hatred and jealousy. Because this Alexander took away everything from him, no one can have no resentment towards the person who took away everything from him!
And the person who instigated Alexander to do this must be Kevin! So Joffrey has been hating Alexander and Kevin for the past few years. He wished they could die every moment, but ironically, today Joffrey was saved by the person he hated. Although he was happy to have escaped death, being saved by Kevin also made him feel humiliated and angry.
So he didn't say any words of thanks to Kevin, he just asked with a tone of hatred why his savior appeared here.
"Why are you here? Wandering Holy Spear!" Joffrey asked through gritted teeth.
"I heard that there is a group of robbers nearby. They commit murder and arson." Kevin did not look back. While treating the injured who were still alive, he said leisurely: "So I came over to clean them up and finish this." After everything happened, I heard the noise coming here, so I rushed over.”
"You want me to thank you for saving my life?" Joffrey spat out a mouthful of blood and asked.
"No, I know you hate me, and if possible, I don't want to appear in front of you. This is actually one of the reasons why I left Melinder." Kevin stretched out his hand to straighten a poor guy with dislocated bones, and then While releasing the holy light for treatment, he said: "But I can't leave these wounded alone. In front of life, other things are not important."
"The man who just killed a gang of robbers is here preaching about the supremacy of life?" Joffrey said sarcastically.
"I didn't kill them, I just persuaded them." Kevin was not angry at all at Joffrey's sarcasm. After he treated all the wounded, he came to Joffrey: "Okay, Your Highness, I know you don't want to accept my treatment, but for the sake of your future actions, I suggest you let me remove your leg." It’s better to renew it first.”
"No need, I will find another priest!" Joffrey seemed extremely tough at this time. Although the pain in his leg was unbearable, he still refused treatment.
"Even a high-level priest can only regenerate a small part of the bone. If it is a leg bone, only a legendary priest can do it. If you don't accept my treatment at this time, you will probably become a lame. ." Kevin said calmly as he looked at Joffrey's broken leg.
He was not being alarmist. Although the priest had powerful medical abilities, it was still too difficult to regenerate a broken limb. Although the mage's wishing technique can theoretically do everything, Mel would not be willing to extend Joffrey's limbs at the cost of lowering his level. What's more, even if he wanted to, Larvin would not let the empire pay such a price.
But even so, Joffrey still shook his head stubbornly, and said through gritted teeth: "Even if I become a lame, lame! I don't want to accept your help anymore!"
"..." Kevin was silent. He didn't dare to use force. He knew that although this Joffrey was usually greedy and fearful of death, he would also become crazy when encountering certain things. If you force him at this time, there is no guarantee that Joffrey will do anything.
"In that case, then it's as you wish." Kevin nodded and did not continue to dwell on this topic. He turned to look at Kordak, and then asked: "Now can you tell me what exactly happened here?"
"I don't need to tell you!" Joffrey bluntly rejected Kevin's question, then took out two bottles of super healing potion from his space pocket and drank it.
Kevin could only shrug helplessly, and then looked for a follower who was still awake and briefly asked what happened.
"Why are you still standing there? Help me back!" Joffrey licked his wounds clean like a lone wolf, and then he returned to his usual appearance, roaring arrogantly.
Several sober followers rushed over to support Joffrey. Joffrey looked at the other unconscious people, then pointed at Kordak and said: "Tie this man up and take him back, and leave the others behind." Come here!"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Kevin spoke again at this time.
"What's the matter?!" Veins popped up on Joffrey's forehead, and he asked suppressing his anger.
"I can't let you take this man away." Kevin also set his sights on Kordak.
"Why?! Do you dare to hinder the prince of the empire?!" Joffrey immediately became furious.
"I can't let him fall into your hands." Kevin avoided Joffrey's question and shook his head firmly: "He was the one who hurt you like this. If he falls into your hands, he will be killed." I can easily guess what kind of treatment he will receive. Therefore, for the sake of his life, I must take him away."
"He is a fugitive who has violated the laws of the empire! Every crime he commits is enough to send him to the guillotine!" Joffrey blushed and shouted.
"Then we have to wait until he is tried before we let him die." Kevin said without giving in: "The Holy Light once told me that punishment is never the purpose, it is just a means to make sinners understand their mistakes!"
"No! I want to take this person back by myself, and I have to let out such a bad breath!"
"Then I can't let you take him away." Kevin helped Kordak up without any explanation: "I will take him back to Merindel and hand him over to the Imperial Court for trial."
"I don't allow you to do this!" Joffrey showed his identity as a prince: "I order you as a prince to put him down!"
"..." Kevin was silent for a moment, but in order to prevent this strong man from dying meaninglessly, Kevin still shook his head: "I'm sorry, I won't obey."
After Kevin finished speaking, he ignored Joffrey, carried Kordak on his back, and left without looking back.
"..." Joffrey stared at Kevin's back but was helpless, because he couldn't be Kevin's opponent, and no one here could be, so if Kevin made up his mind to do something, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to do it. changed. Therefore, Joffrey could only watch as another thing was taken away by Kevin.
"Damn!!!" In the end, Joffrey could only let out such an unwilling roar.
