holy flame

Chapter 058

Samuel was riding on the horse, turning around from time to time to look at Nick who was still standing on the high platform watching them leave.Julian, who had always been displeased with Nick, became even more jealous when he saw Samuel's behavior like this.

He rode a horse, purposely went around from the other side of the carriage, and ran behind Samuel: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at Nick."

Julian shook for a moment. He suddenly felt that after establishing a relationship with Samuel, his life was more painful than before - of course there were also happy times, such as the last time Samuel kissed his forehead?Julian, who was replaying the scene in his mind, suddenly covered his chest. When did he think about being kissed on the forehead for so long?Almost like a teenage girl who just fell in love.

"?" Samuel looked at Julian's painful expression strangely, "Are you sick?"

"No, hehe, it's okay." Julian smiled weakly. He couldn't say that he hit himself, could he? "You have never paid attention to someone for so long." The implication is that you have never paid so much attention to me. "When you left, you were still so reluctant to part with him."

The strong smell of vinegar in Julian's words made Zoe and Ryan, who were playing cards in the carriage bored, put down their cards, opened the curtains, and looked around curiously.Others also approached intentionally or unintentionally.

"No, I'm not reluctant." Samuel shook his head, "I'm just curious, haven't we already said goodbye? Why is he still standing there stupidly? He should have a lot of things to do, right?" Because of his personality—or he has no personality at all. In his previous life, Samuel reassured his parents. He went to and from school by himself from the second grade, and it was enough to say goodbye when he went abroad. No one had ever sent him off like this.

"This...he is expressing his dismay for you."

"Won't you leave if you don't want me?"

"No, it's just that in many cases, it's always good to take a second look."

Samuel frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "If you don't want to leave, just keep him."

"Then do you think the prince might keep you, a paladin who must be enlisted by the Knights Templar?"

"If conditions do not permit, then work hard. What's the use of standing still?" Samuel was still in a daze. After all, he was still learning his feelings. It is really incomprehensible.

Now even Julian, who has always been displeased with Nick, feels sympathy for His Royal Highness...

Next, Samuel's accident physique finally did not recur, and they arrived at the Bright Shield Fortress smoothly.In fact, I didn't know until I arrived that the Bright Shield Fortress was the name of one of the most advanced and strongest fortresses, but it was also the general term for a huge fortress city group.These large and small fortresses that line the line of defense against the orcs are definitely not comparable to the Great Wall, but they are enough to be described as spectacular.

The soldiers here are not only the Knights Templar with more than 300 people, but the Knights Templar is the only permanent legion and the most famous.In fact, plus the presence of the three empires

The army, the major legions that the holy court came here to rotate their duties every three years, and the miscellaneous soldiers sent to garrison by nearby neighboring countries, the total number of soldiers here reached 50 at the peak, and around 30 when the number was small.

And this place is actually not as desolate as everyone imagined, because all the fortresses are managed militarized, so all land is prohibited from buying and selling, but it can be leased. It is mainly divided into three categories: arable land, housing land and commercial land. There are more detailed rent differences due to different grades, and the leased land cannot be used for other purposes.And these fixed rents are obviously much better for most farmers and merchants than the heavy taxes in other places.Moreover, all the troops fighting in this place are real regular troops. Even if civilians are recruited for war, they are only asked to do some logistical work such as transporting goods, and militiamen are rarely sent to the battlefield.

Therefore, even though this place is facing the threat of orcs, the small fortresses that Samuel and the others passed along the way seem to be more prosperous than some cities in the inner road area.

"Seeing the current situation, you can understand why many great men have said that human infighting is more terrifying than any alien aggression." Frank is the most touched by everyone, because these small fortresses are Bisis The capitals of Chris and Chris are both prosperous, and the faces of most of the people are filled with serenity and serenity. It is hard to imagine that this is the cruelest battlefield of Clorion in the legend.

"However, some great people have said that a unified human race will be the most powerful race in the world. Of course, it only refers to the human world. The realm of gods is beyond our reach." Ryan is not as pessimistic as Frank.

"Sorry to bother you with philosophical questions, but did you all take a look in that direction, and if I'm not dreaming, is that an elf?"

The front is guarded by the paladins, the real Bright Shield Fortress, the flag on the city wall is a red background, a golden winged shield, and a simple but unique badge.However, what attracted the attention of Allen, who had gradually returned to normal recently, was the team of long-eared guys who were wearing green shorts and carrying delicate bows and arrows, standing at the door and waiting in line to enter the city.

"You read that right, I think it should be." Allen's words attracted the attention of others.

"How is it possible? Didn't it mean that the elves have escaped into the depths of the forest?"

"Alan, where is the west side of Bright Shield Fortress?" Frank asked.

"Alice Mountains and Elven Forest." Allen quickly answered, and then he screamed excitedly, "Holy God! Elven Forest! I always thought it was just a coincidence of the name, but it turned out to be the Elven Forest! Did no one say anything about it?"

"Because the footprints of the elves are limited to the shield of light, and no one will spread the word about the shield of the elves." At some point, a heroic female knight appeared in front of them.

"You are the new Samuel, right? You are a very energetic young man, but..." the female knight glanced at the "false elf" on the other side, "I am Fina, and I will help you in the first two months Get used to life here. But you'd better put a hat on your 'little baby', otherwise his appearance will offend many of his fellow elves. What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Hello, Paladin Fina, I'm Samuel. He is my follower, Alan." Samuel immediately faced Fina.

"Uh..." After a second of silence, Fina saluted Samuel in embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, it's my fault, I ran here without looking at the magic portrait of the Holy Court. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. "

"It's okay, my appearance is indeed easy to be misunderstood." Samuel shook his head.

"Thank you." Fina breathed a sigh of relief, "Then your ears?"

"It was born."

"This is the first time I know of such a situation. You wait outside the fortress for a while. I will go back and ask the knight commander to clarify." Fina finally suffered for her recklessness. She thought that the image of Samuel was very strange. It may cause the dissatisfaction of the elves in the shield of light.Turning the horse's head, Fina quickly ran towards the fortress.

"I didn't expect there to be female paladins." Eric looked at Fina's back with curiosity, but more respect.

"Respectable." Frank nodded.

I don't know if this is only the case in the Clorion continent, or it is the case in all the continents of the light camp.Only men can serve as priests, and although women can serve as warriors, the inherent disadvantages have almost cut off the possibility of women reaching the top.In the nursery school, although male and female orphans were treated equally at the beginning, after that, the girls could only choose three paths: take the warrior assessment, and go to farm in the farm of the Holy Court, and very few of them will enter the Holy Order—either After graduating, she becomes a saint, enters the palace of the Great Saint of the Holy Court, and serves the Holy God all her life.Either you can't graduate for various reasons, but you will become a senior maid welcomed by all countries.

It can be said that among the three paths, the most difficult one is to choose to become a warrior.

"Paladin Fina should be a talented female warrior who successfully comprehended fighting spirit 50 years ago. Her father is also a paladin, and is currently the highest officer of the Lightshield Fortress and the Knights Templar." Ryan jumped out of the carriage, While moving his limbs that were about to be knocked apart, he explained to his companions.

"50 years ago! Then how old was she when she realized it?" The taciturn Bahn couldn't help but widen his eyes. After all, Fina looks like a young woman in her 20s.

"45 is old."

"Although I heard that the body of a paladin will undergo tremendous changes after he realizes fighting qi, but... how old can a paladin live?" Julian, who had been smiling all the time, looked strange.

"According to records, the oldest paladin who died of old age was 3611 years old, and the youngest was [-] years old. It seems that the lifespan of a paladin is related to the age when they comprehend fighting spirit. The younger they comprehend, the longer they lived .”

"When did the 300-year-old realize it?"

"47 is old."

"..." Everyone was silent, that is to say, if Samuel hadn't died in battle, he would have lived longer than them.

"When I became a grandfather who could only move with a cane, you

Still young and beautiful, would you still want me at that time? Unable to hold back for a while, Julian asked Samuel softly...

"You said you didn't love my looks, did you?" Samuel raised his eyebrows and looked at Julian.

"Of course!"

"Then why do you ask me this question about my appearance?"

"Samuel~" Samuel's answer made Julian feel that he is indeed the most idiotic person in the world. Although Samuel is really embarrassing and stupid sometimes, he is also the most determined person in the world. Will not be disturbed by exaggerated foreign objects, "How can you make me not love you?"

"Then love." Samuel didn't understand, is this his own business?What do you ask me for?

"Of course!" Julian raised his eyebrows and answered with high spirits.But this doesn't mean that the issue of paladin's longevity didn't cast a shadow on his mind.While Julian no longer worries about their love, he begins to panic about Samuel's future.He must die before Samuel, so what should Samuel do alone?

This time, Julian who "became smart" decided to ask Samuel directly: "I can't live as long as the paladin, what will you do if I am in front of you?"

"Live alone."

Living alone for more than a hundred years, Julian felt his heart hurt. He would rather Samuel suddenly become glib and answer "I will die with you" like those playboys.Julian had learned long ago that it was more painful to be alive than to be dead, especially alone...
