The Sun King's Evidence
Chapter 54, Strolling in the Winter City
Early the next morning, there was a knock on Ryan's door. The White Wolf Knight was still sleepy. He looked up and saw that it was still dark: "Who is it?"
"Ryan! Get up! We have all finished our morning lessons and prayers!" It was Alfred, the paladin. This guy was full of energy in the morning. He knocked on Ryan's door: "Get up! And Let’s go for a walk on the street together, I have a lot to say to you!”
"I'll go~" Ryan covered his head. In the middle of winter, even before dawn, these paladins were already so energetic.
With no other choice, Ryan had no choice but to open the door, wash up in a hurry, and change into aristocratic clothes.
Thinking of the agreement he made with the sorceress last night, Ryan hesitated for a long time before knocking on Theresa's door: "Theresa?"
The door opened quickly. Teresa had already changed into a winter coat, and her long shimmering black hair was tied up with hairpins. The woman had obviously put on makeup, with purple eye shadow and sparkling red lips. Her cool color faded slightly.
When the woman saw Ryan, her silver pupils shone brightly, and she immediately noticed Alfred standing behind Ryan, and the light in her eyes immediately dimmed: "Didn't I tell you, Ryan? Please don't bring Xianzai with you. People are knocking on my door!"
"I'm going to go shopping with Afu and the others in the morning, do you want to go with me?" Ryan immediately made a gentlemanly gesture, and then put his big hand in front of the woman: "White Wolf Knight Ryan sincerely invites you! "
"...I don't see how sincere you are." Seeing the man approach, Theresa raised her chin, and then placed her small hand wrapped in a white lace glove on the man's big hand: "...but I can’t refuse you, I will accompany you.”
Seeing this, Alfred thought to himself that women are really troublesome creatures.
Ryan's boy has not been interested in things between men and women since he was a child. He has always believed that women are troublesome creatures. Seeing the two of them looking like this, Alfred thought that there was something wrong with Ryan's thinking!
How can women find it interesting to pray and do morning prayers? Ryan must have made a mistake.
I'd better give Ryan some advice if I get the chance.
Without further ado, after a simple breakfast, Templar Froude took Alfred and a young paladin named Alex to the Church of Justice, and walked around the streets by the way, Ryan and Teresa followed the three paladins.
Paladins often do not live like ascetics as people imagine. They eat black bread and water every day, and spend the whole day either doing penance or praying, or going out to punish evil and promote good.
not like this.
Paladins are also human beings and have their own lives. They also get married, become parents, and make money. The Church of Justice often emphasizes that "justice requires a price." In fact, it emphasizes that it is impossible for paladins to eliminate violence and save people in distress. They don’t take any money, and they don’t leave any name for their good deeds, because they themselves also need to eat, and the Righteous Church also needs income.
So what is the difference between paladins and mercenaries?
That is, the Paladins have their own position and their own precepts. Everything they do is to establish order and fight against evil. In the invasion of Chaos, the tide of green skins, and the undead war, these Paladins will always be at the forefront. line, if not for their precious sacrifices, mankind might have faced catastrophe.
Fifty years ago, there was a huge army of Chaos that crossed the Gate of Chaos and appeared in the Tazir Desert with the help of energy tides. The God of Justice had already predicted this event, and the 20,000 paladin army came under the control of a member of the Church of Justice. Under the leadership of the Bishop, they spent fifteen days crossing the desert and facing the Chaos army.
The terrible war began, and when it was over, only twenty-three paladins remained and the bishop himself standing on the altar.
This bishop is the current Archbishop of the Church of Justice, "The God of Death" Vokmar Beckmann.
Therefore, the paladins are also known as the "backbone of the world."
"Well, Mr. Froude, do you have ready-made chainmails and breastplates at the Church of Justice?" Ryan and Teresa walked side by side on the street. He walked towards the Templar Froude who was leading the team. asked.
"Of course, does Mr. Lane need it?"
"Well, my armor has been damaged in the previous battle, so I need a new one for the time being."
Flood agreed very happily on this matter: "Mr. Lane is an old friend of our Church of Justice. Okay, I can make the decision and sell you the armor in stock at a 20% discount, but you need to try the armor in person." Does it fit properly?”
After the transaction was completed, the group came to the Church of Justice. Ryan selected a chain armor and breastplate. The church's blacksmith would modify the armor to a certain extent based on his body shape to make it fit better. Then Ryan He took out a piece of parchment and handed it to the blacksmith: "Can you change the shoulder armor to this pattern for me?"
"This is...?" The blacksmith took the parchment, on which was drawn a pattern that resembled a family emblem.
A sharp sword passed through the middle of a book, with a white and red kite shield emblem behind it. There were no words on the book, only a red seal and a silver skull pattern.
"This is my future family crest." Ryan nodded: "Can I do it?"
"Of course, although it's a bit strange, it will definitely not be a problem to make it." The blacksmith took over the job, and the two agreed to pick it up the next day. Then Ryan took Teresa out of the Church of Justice, and the two of them walked on the winter streets. , don’t have any sentiment.
Teresa stretched out her small hand and took the man's big hand, but Ryan did not break away.
The sky appeared, and the sun showed half of its face again. Nords all like to get up early. When Ryan and Theresa came out of the Church of Justice, many townspeople had already gotten up. Black smoke was coming out of every house's chimney. It was a sunny day. Despite the good weather and strong wind, many citizens had already started to get up and pray.
They are all believers of the God of Morning. Believers of the God of Morning generally pray when the first ray of morning light rises, which means "the plan for a day lies in the morning".
"Actually, I think this is quite troublesome. I have to pray every day. It's very tiring. What do you think?" Ryan saw many citizens praying, so he smiled at Teresa and said: "The mysterious lady usually asks her When do believers pray to her?”
"We only pray on the fifteenth day of March every year. Apart from that, we in Jialan rarely pray on weekdays." The sorceress enjoyed the feeling of two people walking on the street in the middle of winter, and her tone couldn't help but be cheerful. stand up.
"Pfft! 315?" Who knew that Ryan couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "It really fits your Jialian festival."
"???What do you mean?" The sorceress felt confused, and she asked: "So, what are your requirements for prayer, the Lord of the White Wolf?"
"Him? I doubt he will listen to our prayers at all. Well... every year during the first heavy snowfall after winter, we will light a bonfire and pray to the Lord of the White Wolf." Ryan nodded: "In other circumstances, there are You can pray when you have time, and don’t force yourself if you don’t have time.”
Different churches have different prayer requirements. The more lawful the deity, the higher the requirements for prayer. For example, the paladins and priests of the God of Justice. If there is nothing special, these people will do morning prayers and pray at dawn every day. , come rain or shine, even on holidays, and the requirements of the Lord of the Morning are not so strict. Believers remember that it is best to pray. If you are busy and forget it, or it is cloudy or rainy today, then there is no need to pray. It doesn't matter either.
Spellcasters are inherently contradictory, because the arcane path itself has little to do with belief. Spellcasters are obviously more interested in delving into the nature of magic than belief in the goddess of magic, so the meaning is almost the same every year. .
The two of them walked along the gravel road. The partnership between the Kingdom Knight and the Gloria Witch was enough to ensure that no one would avoid them. Every time they arrived at a store, Teresa would drag Ryan in to take a look and buy something. Gadgets.
These simple handmade products or snacks made from basic grains were originally discarded by the Gloria sorceress, but Teresa was in a very high mood today. Ryan thought to himself what happened to this woman?
His father gave him powerful genes, and his extraordinary physique gave him strong physical strength, but he was exhausted when he went shopping with women? nonexistent!
After walking two blocks, a group of people caught Ryan's attention.
There was an old woman who looked about fifty years old, sitting on a chair at the corner of the street. Around her, there were a large group of children sitting, the youngest was only five or six years old, the oldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, etc. One thing in common is that most of them are wearing shabby clothes and sitting around this old woman.
The old woman used her withered hands to take out a basket from behind her. There were some small fruits in the basket.
As soon as they saw the snacks, the hungry children rushed forward, and their dirty little hands desperately reached for the small fruits in the basket.
For the knights of the Kingdom and Councilor Gloria, this sour and astringent wild fruit is the worst food, but in the eyes of these children, it is a supreme delicacy that many poor families cannot eat.
"Don't worry, everyone! Wash your hands first!" The old woman quickly waved her hands to stop the children. Although the children's eyes were full of desire, they were still obedient. The children lined up to wash their hands in a bucket nearby.
After queuing up and washing, the children all got a little bit of small fruit. They gathered in front of the old aunt. The old aunt took out some small wooden sticks and asked the older children to distribute these wooden sticks to each child. .
"What are they doing?" Teresa was curious.
"Let's go over and take a look." Ryan reached out and held the sorceress's hand. Teresa rolled her eyes at him and did not resist. Instead, she followed him gently and exhaled: "Don't tell me, you are alone. The famous White Wolf Knight emerged from the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses... Do you like children?"
"No, actually I don't like children. Children have no logic, and..." Ryan shook his head: "You know, I like silence. My life is full of battles and killings. During the breaks, I don't I would find women to vent my anger to, and I couldn’t go back to my home in Orternay, so I preferred to find a quiet corner and rest quietly, because children... are too noisy.”
Theresa was stunned.
At that moment, the sorceress from the Gloria Council could suddenly feel that she had entered Ryan's heart for the first time.
The real Ryan is hidden behind his open-mindedness and understanding of the world.
Ever since she met Ryan, he had always been open-minded, cheerful, humorous, familiar with the world, and old-fashioned in front of her.
But she knew that emotion,
The loneliness on Ryan's face and the self-deprecation in his tone for a moment were called loneliness.
Why does this famous white wolf knight feel lonely when he sees a group of children surrounding an old woman begging for food?
She began to think of Ryan's life experience.
Ryan's life experience is all traceable. He has an adoptive father and an adoptive mother, his own childhood, many friends, and the guidance of a very excellent godfather.
Why does he feel lonely in this situation?
After thinking about it, Theresa immediately remembered a crucial point about Ryan's life experience.
All of Ryan's current information started when he was picked up by Norman after he was three years old.
What about before the age of three?
Ryan, does he have any memories from before he was three years old?
For what purpose would his father abandon a three-year-old child, and for what reason would he leave such a one-handed long sword to a three-year-old child?
For the first time, Theresa became deeply curious about Ryan.
Think about it more carefully, why is he unwilling to be his partner?
Obviously, I didn't satisfy him.
The sorceress thought of her performance since joining him, from the initial encounter in the Meen Forest, to the battle of the docks in Kalzenhaven, to the banquet in the evening, to the five days of trekking through the mountains, until last night's attack on him. The friends I brought with me looked at each other with sullen faces.
Ha~
Before Theresa thought about everything carefully, she sneered in her heart.
This kind of performance is really unmanageable. Not only did I not help him much along the way, but I caused him trouble and trouble many times, and then kept giving him a look.
Think about it for a moment, if you meet such a male wizard partner who can't perform well and has a bad temper, what will happen?
Teresa's face turned red and white.
Not to mention, if there is such a wizard acting with him, with his own temper and code of conduct, it would be easy to turn against him.
Most likely, it was a fire merger.
Thinking of this, fluids formed on the sorceress's back and her pretty face turned pale.
What on earth have I been doing these days? !
I beg for clicks, collections, recommendations, book reviews, descriptions of this chapter, rewards, anything!
