Chapter 257 Tyr's Scales and Gloria's Justice
In the center of Xia'andia, the large wooden house similar to the conference hall was crowded with people inside and out. Xia'an solemnly held out a box and opened it in front of everyone.

Inside the box is a sword, thick and round, with a hilt without a grid, and a wide and short blade, making it more like an antique from the ancient times, rather than a weapon used for fighting and slashing.

"This sword is called the Scale of Tyr. It is the incarnation of the first God of Justice from the Dark Ages to the First Era. The sword used by Tyr, the first paladin in the Finn world."

"It's not for fighting. Whenever Tyr has to make a decision, he will use it to measure whether it is in line with justice. If it is justice, he will be able to lift the sword and be blessed. If it is not in line with justice , he will not be able to lift the sword, and will be punished accordingly."

Xia An's narration made the hundreds of holy warriors on the sidelines full of surprise, and Glonia and Mayne were also amazed. I really didn't expect that Xia An possessed such an artifact. The plateau is the basis for building a just home.

"Everyone knows that Tyre became a god in the first era, and declared the name of the god Longde in the Kingdom of God, and then everyone gradually forgot his mortal name. Tyre's scale was kept by the religious order that Tyre belonged to. The order named itself the Hand of Tyr, and made it their mission to keep this artifact."

"True paladins are not afraid to talk about the truth. In the Second Era, Longde's will was split. The Hand of Tyr rebuked himself and believed that it might be that he still kept the mortal name of Longde, which led to Longde's birth. There was a problem, so the church was renamed the Silver Hand."

"That's right, the vow to build a righteous home has been recognized by the scales of Tyr..."

Banner, Nama, Nicole and the others looked calm, obviously knowing the inside story for a long time, while Gronia, Mayne and other paladins were all excited.

An artifact inherited from the age of Tyr!
Indeed, as Nicole said, this artifact can reflect the absolutely correct divine will.

No wonder Xia An was able to unite the paladins of all factions. Even though Longde's will was divided and justice was inconsistent, holding this artifact in his hand and being recognized by Longde's divine will when he was a mortal meant that he had obtained part of Longde's will. .

"I swear in the name of Longde and Cheyenne that Cheyandia will become the homeland of justice for the paladins and the handle of the sword of justice. In the turbulent era of the changing era, I am willing to protect the paladins of Cheyandia through this order The catastrophe of sinking, I will give everything for Longde to return to the kingdom of God, and for justice to return to Fein!"

Xia An put the box on the stone platform in the middle of the wooden house, narrated with a solemn expression while holding the hilt of the sword.

Tire's scale gradually glowed with a yellowish light, and Xia An held it up high.Feeling the pure divine power of justice pulsating on the artifact, everyone knelt down on one knee and put their hands on their chests to express their admiration, reverence and devotion.

Put the dagger back into the box, and the holy light dissipated.Xia An looked around at the paladins who were eager to try, and said solemnly: "Only a firm vow will be recognized by Tyre's scale. If you haven't fully understood your vow and are not prepared to sacrifice everything for it, Then the bigger the vow, the more terrible the punishment you will receive. Zeke... Many of you have taken care of him, and he became what he is now because he was not recognized by the scale of Tyr."

The paladins all changed their colors, and even Mayne pinched Gloria's arm subconsciously.Zeke and the others have seen one broken arm, and he was dumbfounded, as if a part of his soul was missing.

Xia An looked at the red-haired girl: "So, Gloria, are you sure you want to use it to verify your vow?"

Gronia lowered her head and thought for a moment, and when she looked up, her eyes were extremely firm: "I'm sure!"

"Well, hold it and swear to it like I did just now, and wait for its verdict." Xia An stepped aside and motioned her to step forward.

Gronia held the scale of Tire, closed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "In the name of Lund and Gronia, I will, as a paladin, punish the evil enemy who destroyed the kingdom. The punishment of justice! As the blood of the Alanis royal family, I will demand the price she deserves from the murderer who killed relatives, neighbors, and thousands of innocent people!"

After making the wish, the scene was silent for a moment, and the short sword did not respond at all.

Just when the other paladins showed unbearable expressions and Mayne was about to rush up in horror, the buzzing sound sounded, and Gronia's body trembled.She gritted her teeth and raised the dagger with difficulty. The faint golden light flowing on the dagger made everyone gasp.

The exclamation soon became louder, and the golden light suddenly became violent, pouring into Gronia's body from the blade of the sword, making her whole body diffuse a faint sacred light.Afterwards, Gronia maintained the posture of holding the dagger high, as if turning into a statue.

"It's alright..."

Xia An whispered, then supported Glonia's arm, and put Tyre's scale back into the box.

Looking at the completely new red-haired girl, Xia An said in a complicated tone: "Gronia... No, it's time to call you Princess Glonia, you have been approved by the scales of Tyre, and your vow is justice Yes. But I want to remind you that this does not mean that you will win. Justice is not born to seek victory, justice is born to point out the way of the best, and to guard the boundary between good and evil."

"What I ask from the scales of Tire is not victory, but to prove the justice I believe in," Gronia said deeply, and then bowed her head to Xia'an: "Thank you for your gift, you and Xia'andia have treated me There is so much help I can’t repay.”

"You can repay..."

Xia An smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to return to Alanis, you can't do anything by yourself. Stay here for a while and complete the necessary training. The approval of the scale of Tire just now should have promoted you to a hero." level, you need to get the skills to match the freshmen."

"Can I?"

Gronia was a little apprehensive, which meant that she could get the teaching of Xia An, a legendary paladin.

"Great! We have another fellow student." Nicole hugged Glonia happily, and other paladins, including Banner and Nama, gave warm applause.

"Thank you! Thank you Xia An, thank you everyone!"

Gronia kept bowing, shedding tears of joy.Mayen hesitated for a moment, then took a peek at Xia An, seeing that his joy was sincere and genuine, the confusion on her face dissipated, and she applauded vigorously with everyone.

………………

The next day, Gloria returned to the wooden house she lived with Mayne out of breath, and excitedly yelled at Mayne: "Mr. Xia An is so powerful, he beat me to pieces without using divine power! The skills of a paladin The road turns out to be so mysterious, what we learned before is like children playing tricks!"

Mayne looked at the beautiful and sacred Gronia, who was like a saint, and sighed faintly.

She tried to squeeze out a smile: "Then practice well here, at least you have to be promoted to legend, and you will be more confident in what you want to do."

"That can't be done. I can stay in Xia'andia until the end of the year at most." Gronia was very anxious: "The evil queen is already attacking Valentine Cathedral, and her deputy is still approaching Youxiang, waiting for her evil forces to occupy With all of East Fern, what chance do I have?"

"Speaking of Youxiang..."

Mayne said cautiously: "Isn't Youxiang a fellow of the Alliance of Order? Even Shuguang... the Queen of the Blood Crown sent Sylvie to the west to resist the invasion of the tundra orcs. Everyone said that the orcs were inspired by Youxiang I just went south."

"Where's the evidence?"

Gronia sneered: "Youxiang has always regarded herself as the guardian of Fern. Even if the church is corrupt, she still has brains. How could she do such self-destructive things? Could it be that the Queen of the Blood Crown encouraged the orcs to go south?" , and then planted it on Youxiang, and used the excuse of resisting the orcs to bring those countries in the north under her rule?"

"She is very proficient in this kind of despicable business. She used illusions to whitewash what she did in Alanis, and her insidious control over Alanis shows that she is proficient in this way!"

Just as Mayne was about to say something, the sound of arguing between the two paladins entered the cabin.

"I really can't figure out why Xia An refused those poor people's help."

"Maybe it has something to do with Beta City in the east. That's a great force. We don't need to make another strong enemy."

"You are capitulationism, a relativistic heresy! Justice must be served, no matter how big or small, no matter the cost!
"The Holy Light Castle uses slaves to mine mines. It is said that it is still an evil thing that digs up Rose's corpse. Why don't you seek justice from them?"

"We have been doing it all the time, inspecting their caravans and releasing illegal slaves. As for the legal slaves, wouldn't it be a violation of the law if we rescued them? Also, the Ross god corpse is indeed evil, but mining and using Whether it's evil or not, the jury is still out!"

"You guys who know how to speak for the nobles, don't you know that Beta City is the territory opened up by the Duke of Prell? The Holy Light Castle represents the loyal court, and Beta City represents the Alliance of Order. The vortex that collapsed the Finn Order has expanded to Shenyun Plateau, we should follow Xia An's teachings and concentrate on building the hilt of justice, instead of going to this muddy water and standing on the side of Youxiang to help the evildoers!"

"Are you really following Xia An's teachings? Haven't you been urging Banner to exchange supervision areas with our Nama, and then go to the Holy Light Castle to carry out your justice? You can't understand all rich people, you always want to be the savior , win the support of the poor, and then destroy everything, isn't this the revenge that Xia An has repeatedly warned to avoid? Revenge will only bring disorder, and disorder is the greatest evil!"

The two paladins obviously had a good personal relationship, but they belonged to different factions.

The debate gradually faded away, and Gronia frowned: "The owner of Beta City is actually Prell..."

The two of them were cautious in their words and deeds in Xia'andia, let alone went out, so they didn't know what was happening on the Shenyun Plateau.In the past, halflings ran around in Cheyandia, and would often bring them back news, but halflings said it a while ago to get some air, and they haven't come back yet.

Mayne muttered blankly: "Duke Pryor...is that the old Earl Pryor?"

"Licky Player, who else is there besides this Player?"

Gronia's tone was extremely resentful: "Didn't we already know the face of this person in the Kester Kingdom? Teresia's concubine and number one lackey! He is cunning and evil! He is also the propaganda minister of the Alliance of Order. It is his handwriting to whitewash Teresia's evil deeds in the fantasy drama!"

She held the hilt of the sword, gritted her teeth and said, "Great! I can seek justice from him first!"

"but……"

Mayne said in a panic: "We are also considered to be from Xia'andia now. If we go directly to trouble Beta City, it will bring trouble to Xia'andia."

Gronia froze for a moment, then said helplessly: "That's true... I don't want to damage the justice that Teacher Xia An wants to protect by upholding my justice."

Just as Mayne breathed a sigh of relief, a few paladins rushed over. These young paladins had enthusiastically invited them to go out for inspection a few days ago, but they never came again after being rejected. Now this is...

"His Royal Highness Princess Gloria!"

The leading young paladin said eagerly: "Yesterday we all witnessed that you were recognized by Longde, and now there is a piece of justice, I hope you can lead us to do it!"

"The slaves from the Holy Light Castle came over and said that their relatives were taken away by Beta City, begging the paladins of Xia'andia to uphold justice for them?"

As soon as Mayne asked, he understood the reason for the argument between the two paladins just now.

She spread her hands and said: "This must be the Holy Light Castle to provoke us to be an enemy of Beta City. How can we let them manipulate us?"

"Justice regardless of size and price! The source of slaves in Fort Holy Light is legal, and the looting of Beta City is a crime! If we don't go to Beta City to uphold justice, are we still paladins?"

The young paladin was upright and awe-inspiring: "Don't think of us as lunatics who want to take care of everything, but the victims are already standing in front of us, crying to us, seeking justice from us, if we still retreat, it means the failure of faith. Back off and shake!"

Mayne rubbed his forehead: "But the Holy Light Castle is not without bad things..."

Another girl paladin said: "We have been controlling them in the past, but because of the appearance of Beta City, the justice we maintained on the Godfall Plateau is about to collapse! Nama has become timid, and Esther was beaten by the people of Beta City." The injury is still not healed, we lack someone with enough charisma to lead, that's why we came to Her Royal Highness Gloria."

Seeing Glonia's eyes flicker, Mayne hurriedly said: "So you and Beta City are actually personal grudges, right?"

"We are the embodiment of justice, we speak for justice, and those who hinder or even hurt us are the enemies of justice! How can this be a personal grievance?"

The girl paladin scolded angrily, and then said to Gronia: "Don't worry about mentor Xia An blaming him, the mentor's vow is to build a home of justice. If justice around the home cannot be done, how can such a home be possible? The hilt of the sword of justice!?"

This is a truth that Xia An can't ambiguous, or suppress under the guise of the overall situation.

Mayne let out a long sigh and didn't speak again.

Glonia nodded: "Okay! This is what I want to do too!"
