The knight in the abyss

Chapter 626 Paladin and Changeling Demon (Monkey)
"As long as your mentor won't interfere with our actions, your privacy will be respected." Lancelow nodded and looked at the next team member, "It's your turn, Sir Evandel...?"

"Yes, I do have aristocratic background, just like you." The paladin, who had always been dull, spoke slowly, his voice sounding a bit reluctant, "About my past... I don't want to talk about it, can I?"

"Everyone has a past that they don't want to recall. Maybe when there is more trust between us, you will change your mind." Lancelow shrugged indifferently, "But there are some problems that I still hope you can agree with. Be clear, everyone. Are you... still a paladin?"

"I don't know either." A bitter smile appeared on Evandel's old, wrinkled face, "When a paladin can no longer keep his oath, is he still a paladin?"

"What kind of oath did you make?" Tijana suddenly spoke, with a special interest in her voice.

"The Crown Oath." Evandel looked at the mysterious black-haired lady with some surprise, "You seem to know paladins very well, ma'am."

"Is this strange? I also know a paladin." Tijana leaned back and closed her eyes gently, "The crown oath, those who take this oath must dedicate their unconditional loyalty to the country and the king... …There is no worse oath than this, and although you will gain power from the act of keeping the oath, the object you swear to protect is only a ruler among mortals."

"Even gods can fall, let alone ordinary mortals." Aramir beside Lancelot said, "So that's what happened to you, a fallen lord, you can no longer persuade Continue to fulfill the oath by yourself?"

"I really don't want to talk about this anymore." The old paladin lowered his head and hid his face in the shadows, "The training I have received allows me to be qualified for the front position in the battle line, and that is what I want to stay place. I can still use my ability to channel divine power, force nearby enemies to fight me, or channel healing energy to nearby mortally wounded allies. There is only one reason I would come to a bloody battle, and that is hatred of demons, even if it means Then I need to fight alongside the demons. I don't ask of you, as long as you don't prevent me from killing more demons."

"But what if I ask everyone to retreat under certain circumstances?" Lancelot narrowed his eyes, "Will you refuse the commander's order?"

"...I am not an unreasonable person, and I also understand the importance of obeying orders on the battlefield." Evandel raised his head and looked directly into Lancelot's eyes, "You don't have to worry about me in this regard, sir."

"hope so."

Lancelow nodded noncommittally, and then moved his gaze to the next companion.It was a girl with short blond hair, wearing an exotic light shirt, which looked comfortable and elegant.A pair of animal ears protruded from her shaggy hair, suggesting her unique race, and another clue was the hairy tail on the back, with a five-foot-long iron head curled at the end. stick.

"Eh? Is it my turn?" The girl finally came to her senses. From the beginning of the banquet, she focused on stuffing all kinds of fruits into her mouth. "Well, everyone, my name is Jing! It's a monkey!"

"It should be said that you were originally a monkey, right?" Aramir smiled and said, "When will you become what you are now?"

"That's a long story." The girl made a grimace, she really looked like a naughty monkey, "At first, I was like an ordinary monkey, playing in the mountains and forests all day long, and when I was thirsty Drink the sweet spring water, and eat the peaches on the tree when I am hungry. I also learned to pile the peaches together, and wait for them to slowly turn into delicious wine... But gradually, I began to realize that I have the same relationship with Other monkeys are different. I am smarter than them, can express complex concepts in words, and have more strength than them, but what makes me unique is that I can become one of those hairless monkeys who occasionally come to the mountains and forests. It looks like a monkey, but other monkeys can't do it."

"That's the shapeshifting." Lancelot nodded, "Maybe it has something to do with the fruit wine you brewed..."

"Ha! It must be so!" Brutal clapped his hands happily, "Wine is the water of life, and all dwarves know it! This is our core teaching!"

"Then what happened after that?" Aramir asked curiously, "Have you left the forest yet?"

"Well, I have to say, your city is still interesting! I also met a master who taught me the knowledge and skills of fighting, and how to fight against the dragons—the hairless monkeys in my hometown. I claimed to be living in society, but then my master died in a duel, and I became a person again, wandering alone in that continent called Karatu..."

"Karatu! I've heard of that place." There was a special sense of joy in the voice of the elf priest, "It seems that you are also from the world of Toril, and we are half fellows."

"Toril?" The demon monkey girl named Jing looked confused, "I've never heard of this name, I only know Karatu..."

"Well, the world of Toril is really big. It can be roughly divided into three regions: Faerun, Karatu, and Zahara. For those of us who live in Faerun, your hometown is far away. A world where the gods worshiped in Faerûn are unknown, and the dwarves and orcs that can be seen everywhere are unheard of, so I say we can only be regarded as half-citizens. But how did you come to Outland? Why do you want to participate in the bloody battle?"

"Actually, I still haven't figured out the situation..." The demon monkey girl smiled a little embarrassedly, "A few days ago, I was chasing down a fugitive hiding in an ancient ruins, and he created a portal Running away, I immediately followed, and found myself in a strange ring city. When I recovered from the shock, the fugitives and the portal were gone. Now that I have figured it out, I want to go back with The key to open the portal, and the key needs to be bought with money, and the price is not cheap. At this moment, I saw the announcement, saying that a place called Shuangqiao Town is recruiting people, and it can earn two hundred gold coins a week , so I went to that armory to try my luck..."

"Those mercenary agencies actually agreed to let you in?" Tijana asked quite unexpectedly, "Didn't they screen the applicants?"

"The guards really didn't let me in at the beginning, saying that I was too small, so I beat them up on the spot...I hate people saying that I am small! I just don't grow up, okay?!" Monster Monkey The girl's iron-headed stick with its tail curled up was waving dangerously, which added a lot of credibility to her words, "As for the screening... It seems that there is no such thing as queuing up, standing on a magic circle in turn, and then being teleported." Come here..."
