This is a deserted manor. The scene of prosperity in the past has disappeared. The ruined walls tell of the richness and the desolation of the present. Looking at it, the original fertile fields have been covered by ice and snow and withered weeds. Most of the low houses and granaries collapsed, and the fences and walls showed signs of breakage and damage everywhere.

There are ghouls and ominous beasts wandering in the wilderness, as well as terrifying undead. This is the case in this terrifying world. If the dead are not buried in a proper way, they will turn into Terrifying undead wandering in the wild forever with nostalgia for life and hatred for the living.

At this time, it was still daytime, and a loud noise erupted in the manor.

"Bang!" The sound of heavy objects hitting gold and iron resounded through the empty manor, followed by the roar of wild beasts and human shouts: "Come on! Beast! Try it! I'm great!"

"Be careful! Afu! Don't be impulsive!" Another voice yelled: "Theresa, it moved towards you!"

"Know!" the calm female voice responded, and then she tenderly shouted: "Frost technique!"

"Pretty, look at me now! Holy trial!" White rays of light flashed, wild beast let out a painful roar.

This finally gives people a full view.

In the barren and dilapidated field, three humans are fighting around a huge wild beast.

The human headed by a set of full-body plate armor, holding a large square shield in one hand, and a Paladin standard one-handed long sword in the other. He has blond hair and blue eyes with sweat on his forehead. He belongs to the god of justice. The white light of divine force flickered continuously, and he struck his shield forcefully with his sword: "Come on! Beast!!!"

"clang clang clang!" The metal intersect sound made the monster extremely annoyed.

The tall, white Wolf Knight wearing chain mail and breastplate took the opportunity to storm the right wing of the monster. Every attack he made caused huge damage to the monster.

"Ryan, be careful of its stings!" A little far away, a female warlock in black leather armor, holding a staff, moved as she silently muttered incantion.

The stones on the ground and the collapsed ruins began to combine under the guidance of the magical power of the sorcerer, and gradually formed a two-meter-tall golem composed of stones and wood. The surface of this golem was covered Covered with thick frost, under the command of the sorcerer, she fell to the ground and moved towards the monster rushed away.

The full picture of the monster is also shown before the three.

This is a huge creature with the appearance of a lion. It has a ferocious face like a jackal, fiery-red mane, huge fangs and wings full of spikes. It is the most special The thing is, its tail is very long, with a barb at the end.

This monster is just the manticore that makes people talk about it!

Even in the creation of Chaos, Manticore can be considered extremely vicious. Because of inherent stubbornness and combativeness, manticores will fight any enemy for their own territory. Faced with giant eagles, griffins and even dragon kings who have strayed into the territory, the manticores responded the same: they would roar and rush towards the enemy, carrying out bloody and brutal fights, and you will die until you die. And if the enemy is not much stronger than himself, the winner of such a fight is often a manticore. They will stand on the roar of the cliff, showing their strength and determination.

"Damn, I didn't expect Manticore to be so difficult!" Paladin Alfred moved cautiously laterally, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The manticore is so sensitive, it can always dodge Paladin's attack easily, and immediately counterattack.

Paladin’s professional characteristics are originally slow movement, low offensive ability, and good defensive. Facing the attack of manticore, Alfred always has a situation where he can’t make it.

Because the beast’s tail is so annoying, the green venom-soaked stinger is always dangling next to his head, continuously trying to find a chance to pierce his helmet, When Alfred's helmet was deformed by the stinger and flew out, Paladin had to retreat cautiously to the second line.

The poison of the manticore is a very poisonous poison that can seal the throat of blood, and the poisoning of ordinary people basically means that they are dead.

"Fu, do you want to withdraw?" Ryan shouted from the side. He carefully avoided the piercing stinger, and saw the manticore spread its wings and wanted to take off. Ryan It was a heavy hammer that made it fall to the ground: "Don't force it, you have reached the conditions for a glorious retreat!"

Glorious retreat, one of the dogmas of the Church of Justice.

For the Paladins who often like the blood to go to death for justice overestimate one's capabilities, the god of justice formulated this doctrine. When the enemy's strength is three times or more than ours, The retreat is not a matter of shame, but a matter of honor, which is called a glorious retreat.

Since the doctrine was published, the death rate of Paladins has been greatly reduced.

"No, my Holy Shield technique is useless today!" Alfred shouted.

"Well, it's up to you." Ryan stopped talking.

The Holy Shield and Holy Light Technique together are called one of Paladin’s two great housekeeping magical skills. Alfred, who has advanced to the Temple Guard from Paladin, can use the Holy Light Technique once a day. Shield, the divine force from the god of justice, will bless him to continue fighting in a state of basically invincibility for a short period of time (almost six seconds).

Although Divine Shield is not invincible in the absolute sense, it is enough to deal with Manticore.

The manticore moved towards Ryan pounced, splashing a lot of dust and snowflakes, Ryan rolled away easily, then dashed in, hitting the manticore’s front paw with a hammer, and then immediately hiding Opened the manticore's sting to pursue.

"Ice Spear Technique!" Teresa immediately condensed a long ice spear in the air. The spear cut through the sky and moved towards the manticore whistling away.

The manticore drew away abruptly. Taking this opportunity, the ice golem immediately hugged it full of arms.

Ryan began to accumulate energy when he saw this.

The manticore was struggling with all its strength. Its sharp teeth and claws quickly smashed Teresa’s temporary summon golem. The slender tail flicked wildly, and the venomous sting at the end of the tail Every blow can pierce a hole in the surface of the golem, splashing gravel.

Soon, the joints between the arm and the head of the golem were damaged, and the manticore could not be controlled by sight.

But this is enough.

"Frost Nova!!!" The sorcerer tenderly shouted, the inside of the ice golem suddenly sprayed out a large amount of frosty mist, and the manticore was screamed by the freezing mist. , It struggled to break free from the control of the golem, but under the control of the sorcerer, the golem held the manticore firmly.

Gradually, the body of the manticore became stiff, and the golem completely turned back into stone and wood in the onslaught of the manticore at any cost.

"Holy Shock!" A white glow appeared on Paladin's long sword. Alfred fought hard and his long sword left a huge wound on the manticore's back. .

Followed by Ryan's attack, the Warhammer in the hands of White Wolf Knight exploded with golden light and hit the manticore on the head.

Smash the skull!

"ao ao ao!" At the crucial moment, the manticore, feeling the extreme danger, finally barely got rid of the freezing state. It twisted its head and was hit hard by Ryan on the shoulder. With the help of the great power of White Wolf Knight, he moved towards Alfred fiercely, and the stinger on his tail passed high above its head, and directly moved towards Paladin's top of the head fiercely.

The old power is gone, the new power is not born, and Paladin itself is not an agile profession, Alfred immediately launched the divine technique.

A golden ring envelops Alfred, countless runes flashing golden light rotate around Paladin, the manticore’s ferocious attack is completely blocked by these mysterious energies, no matter how hard it is , Can't break through the outer golden protection energy.

With the protection of the Holy Shield, Alfred immediately used a desperate style of play. Every move of Paladin was to fight for his life, and he didn't mind that his moves were so empty. Open, every swing of his long sword left a deep bone wound on the manticore's body. Soon, the manticore slowed down due to excessive blood loss and severe injuries, and entered a dying state.

Ryan smiled inwardly.

The Holy Shield is such a rogue. When the Holy Shield is in an invincible state, Paladin will make the most of the value of the Holy Shield through this style of play, so many people will Paladin in the state is jokingly called "Long Live Charge".

He doesn't need to take action, because the battle is over.

Theresa came, and the sorcerer stood outside the manticore’s maximum attack range and stretched out her wand to release the terrifying frost. This monster was slowly frozen into a whole piece For ice sculpture, Alfred cut off the head of the manticore with a sword, and Ryan also rushed there. The psionic blade waved, and the tail of the manticore was separated from its body.

"It's done! We have kept the body of this thing intact, and Ms. Dietlind should pay us a good price!" Ryan said with a smile.

"Come on!" The golden circle surrounding Alfred also disappeared. Paladin smiled and retracted his sword, put his shield behind him, and stretched his waist: "I haven't seen you for many years. , Didn't expect Ryan, you have become so strong."

"How can you be your friend if you are not strong?" Ryan vomited casually, and then put Warhammer away: "You have become very strong too. Well, Afu."

"That's, how can you be worthy of the title of friend of Ryan'Sledgehammer'?" Alfred said with a big smile.

The two men looked at each other and felt a deep understanding between each other.

Only the sorceress standing on the side rolled her eyes, wondering if these two men brag about each other?

"Cough cough, okay, we have finished the kill, the manticore has fallen, it is getting late, go back soon, Ryan? Al...Fred?" Trey Sha tried her best to look more cheerful.

Although the Sorceress doesn't like Paladin, Alfred is Ryan's friend and childhood playmate, and she feels it is necessary to show off.

"Speaking of which, Ryan, you will find me to do this. It’s really... surprises me." Alfred just sat on the ground, gasping for breath: "This... …Alright, I have a wish."

"A wish?"

"Well, actually, when we entered the city, this lady Nora was already Stopped us once in the street." Alfred laughed self-deprecatingly: "But she can't pay the fee, even if we have given the bottom line, so even if we are sad, we have to tell her that we can't do it. Here, you know Ryan, Manticore is not the kind of ghouls or goblins that we can deal with no effort at all. We are impossible to risk our lives and do things that don’t take any money."

"The children surrounded us and begged us to help Ms. Nora, but we couldn't do anything. This feeling is really uncomfortable." Alfred said in a dispirited voice: "Occasionally, I think that we, as Paladin, don’t Shouldn’t it be the help of the strong and the weak, shouldn’t they lend a hand to the weak? But I’ve encountered this a few times."

"Heh, Fu, you have to know that manpower is limited. , Is also precious." Ryan sat down when he saw the situation. The man looked at the dim sky and sighed: "If justice does not require a price, then is justice itself worthless? If you don’t respect order, then order exists. Does it make sense?"

"I also know these, and if you don’t talk about the cost, Paladin’s power can easily be used by someone with a heart..." Alfred quickly recovered and he got up. Wiping the snow and mud under him, he recovered his cheerful expression: "It's almost done, let's go back!"

"You go back first! I have something to deal with." Ryan Said that I still have something to do: "It's my personal business, so you don't want to participate."

"Personal business? What do you have to do in this deserted manor at night?" Teresa Feeling very puzzled, her beautiful and alluring face is all strange: "And why should we be alone? Didn't we say to face it together?"

"This is different, this is me For personal matters, do I need some private space?" Ryan shook his head, obviously not wanting the two of them to continue participating.

"You..."

"All right, Ms. Trovik, since Ryan doesn't want us to participate, let's go back!" Alfred Coming out of the scene, Paladin's words gave the Sorceress a step down, Teresa glanced at Ryan unwillingly, and her lips vomited: "Then you come back for dinner at night?"

"No." Ryan shook his head and moved towards the depths of the manor. The sorcerer reluctantly used the space ring to put away the manticore's body, and returned to Millaudon Haven with Paladin.

The interior of the manor is very dilapidated. It can be seen that after the manor was abandoned, there were few thieves or scavengers patronizing it. Perhaps it was also deterred by the manticore. Ryan crossed an uphill slope. The trail, moved towards the manor house that has collapsed.

This kind of manor is very common in Nord. A typical manor has a large house or castle surrounded by fields, farmhouses, pastures and woodland. In most cases, the manor is self-sufficient. Some surplus daily necessities can be traded with other manors to complement each other. Generally, a manor will have ten or more tenants to supply the manor’s life and production.

The tenants depend on the situation. Some tenants will have more shares and part of the property rights, and some tenants will be no different from serfs-they not only need to pay 70% to 80% of the harvest, but also special responsibility Arrange and take care of the daily life and life of the owner of the manor.

Charlemagne was born as a tenant. When he was a child, the founder of the human empire had let off cows, planted land, chopped firewood, and crossed dung. Not only was the founder of the great human empire not ashamed, but on the contrary I am proud of it. The story from the tenant to the emperor has deeply inspired generations of poor fellow farmers to embark on a road of adventure bravely.

However, the big house that appeared in front of Ryan's eyes has been severely damaged. The doors and walls of the big house have various big holes. The roof completely collapsed. You can vaguely see the smashed furniture on the second floor. And the floor, snow also fell into the interior of the big house.

"It really fits the definition of a deserted manor. It will take a lot of effort for Ms. Nora to move in again." Ryan snorted.

In fact, as long as the monsters are cleaned up and relative safety is ensured, Nora can rebuild this manor with the help of the Church of Life. As for the tenants... there are more farmers who can’t survive without land to grow. Yes, it is not difficult to recruit some tenants, as long as they can eat their food and not be frozen to death.

This is not the point, the point is...The remains of the ancient sage are here!
