Chapter Thirteen Chance Encounter
The words are divided into two parts. But he said that Paladin had had enough sleep and crawled out of the bear's cave. I suddenly felt refreshed. As for the emergence of various forces in the entire Orosun continent, Paladin is not able to care about it now. What he hopes most now is to have a good meal, have a mansion, several beautiful and attractive concubines, and live a luxurious life that everyone envies.
This is what Paladin now considers to be the most noble ideal. As for why he gained great power but only needed such a small amount of things, Paladin still couldn't understand. Because in his opinion, luxurious life only exists in dreams.
However, people have to return to reality. Paladin was grabbing his messy black hair in distress at this time, and became a little worried: "I escaped from the branch. I believe that people will notice it soon. Although no one will pay attention to a humble slave. But look at the branch The current situation must be a big deal. Who knows, they will really notice me! This name can no longer be used."
Paladin thought helplessly. In fact, he quite liked the name Paladin. Although for the people in the branch, it is a name full of humiliation and ridicule. But putting it outside has a very sacred meaning! And compared to other slaves, he was extremely lucky to have his own name.
"Hey! That...that person in front! The great and almighty Enos, this must be the messenger you sent to save your humble servant!" But at this moment, a cry suddenly sounded outside the woods.
Paladin turned around and immediately saw a priest wearing a black priest's robe, carrying a small package, walking over dirty and tired. Paladin immediately took a step back, carefully guarding this person. He removed his glove with his right hand and put it behind his back. If the opponent had any evil intentions, he would immediately kill him.
Unexpectedly, the priest walked up to Paladin, slumped down on the dirty mud floor, crossed his hands into fists, and said with pious gratitude: "It must be you, the great and all-knowing god, who protects your servant in the dark." He sent him a guide when he was lost and didn’t know the direction!”
"You are..." Paladin continued to take a step back, so guarded that no one dared to relax at all. Apparently the priest saw Paladin's alert look and knew that the other party had misunderstood. He immediately smiled and said: "Hello, distinguished sir. I am a priest from the Lor Province of the Principality of Casmi. I have been called by the Supreme God. , specially went to Nurba to serve as the local church priest. Sir, do you also know how to get to Nurba?"
Nurba Paladin knew. It's quite a long way from here. If you take a carriage, it will take half a month. It already spans half of the Kasmi Principality. If it weren't for the fact that this town was rich in iron ore and the principality paid more attention to it, I really wouldn't have known about it.
In an instant, Paladin had some thoughts. Let's not talk about the safety on the road. If you don't know where you are going, you might as well follow this priest first to cover up others' eyes. You can also make some extra money. As soon as he thought of it, Paladin immediately showed a friendly smile and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are going to serve the great Enos as a divine servant. I am also a very devout believer. Naturally, I can take you to Nurba to take up your post."
"Ah! That's great! It's really..." This was a priest who obviously lived a pampered life. He wiped away the dirt on his face, revealing his white and tender skin. Before he finished his words of thanks, Paladin went on to say: "Since I serve the great Enos, the priest will not refuse to save me. Look at me, who is so poor. Should I have to travel this long distance..."
The priest was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding, and took out a small bag of gold coins from his backpack with a smile. He poured five coins out of it and handed them to Paladin and said with a smile: "I'll thank you sir for these. Please take me to Nurba, sir."
Paladin took the gold coin with shining eyes. His eyes wandered to the small bag in the priest's hand. It was filled with golden coins! Don't laugh, Paladin has only seen gold coins but never touched them.
Now that I have five gold coins, I feel very happy. But he thought secretly: "A whole bag of gold coins! Let's say less forty... no! Fifty coins! God, so much wealth, if I get it..." Even Paladin didn't notice, and he became more and more worried at this time. The swelling ** has occupied his entire heart. There is no room for anything else.
With such thoughts in mind, Paladin immediately withdrew his gaze, skillfully took the priest's package and carried it behind him, and said in a flattering manner: "Father, please go first. This journey is not short." The priest immediately put away the gold coins, Feeling that it is good when someone is being fucked. But he didn't realize that he had done the stupidest thing.
"Looking at your clothes, you seem to be a student of a student. What do you study? History? Art?" The priest asked casually, feeling happy because his shoulders were freed. Paladin narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile: "The clothes look good, but in fact he is just a craftsman. He only learned to make some stone carvings." "Oh, it turns out he is a stonemason."
The priest nodded somewhat disappointedly. In his aristocratic understanding, the stonemason was just a commoner being ruled. The priest, who originally thought he was a nobleman studying, felt a little disappointed. How could he have imagined that the alchemist called himself a free mason. Because in the most ancient times, there were no books and no knowledge. It is precisely the masons who build houses who are the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable people. It is the first profession to come into contact with mathematics, statistics, drawing, and writing. Therefore, alchemists are proud to call themselves free masons. Refers to the alchemist as the earliest pioneer who came into contact with the truth and explored the truth.
"Father, be careful. Slow down." An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Paladin fully demonstrated what it means to be a slave. He humbly led the priest through the mountains and ridges. The flattering priest chuckled.
Seeing that the time was right, Paladin began to explore his background: "Dear Father, you are going to Nurba. Although you will pass by this vast forest, you won't end up here."
Paladin wanted to ask, but the priest spoke without thinking. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Don't call me priest, not yet... Hey, my father is a small nobleman. He does some business to support himself. But as the second son, I am not qualified to inherit my father's store, so my father spent money to manage it. , I might as well just go to the church and become a priest.
But what a shame, hiring those nasty mercenaries. Tell them to protect me along the way. Who knew they would rob me as soon as I left the city! Fortunately, I wasn't the one to do it, so I ran into the forest. As expected, these treacherous scum didn't dare to chase after me for a long time! Hahaha! God will curse them! "
Paladin looked at the angry look of the priest and said casually: "Father, you are so lucky. You know, if you turn a little further, you will go straight into the depths of the forest. There are man-eating monsters in there. Ordinary mercenaries don’t dare to go in.”
"Ah! That's it! Sure enough, Enos protects me all the time!" Paladin looked at the fool's stupidity, and the scruples in his heart gradually disappeared. I was thinking about when I would snatch his gold coins and go away happily. But who would have thought that the priest's next words would completely confuse Paladin!
