This Lich Needs More Money

 Chapter 332 Allen’s allies

 Frodo was once a very ambitious young man.

His family background is well-educated. His father is Lorenkos, a legendary paladin, and Frodo is the only son in the family. It can be said that he has been carefully trained by this legendary strongman since he was a child.

 Frodo was not bad in talent and worked hard enough, making him a leader among his peers.

If not, he would not be qualified to guard the door for the iron-blooded general.

This is a personal guard, a position that his father Lorencos once held. This shows how much the iron-blooded general values ​​him. It is almost obvious that he will take over his father's position in the future, even if he does not enter the legendary rank. will also be reused.

Until the day Umbershoe came to Flowing Flame City, Frodo was a very ambitious young man.

 Until, the curse of the undead suddenly appeared.

 Frodo felt his body becoming undead little by little.

That was not very painful, not as painful as the usual injuries during training, but it brought him a hundred times more fear.

 Because of this fear, he found that his strength began to fade.

This curse is so vicious that it can turn a paladin into an undead and be completely unable to resist it.

　　Frodo was not afraid of death, but of falling into **** after death.

He could feel that his body was already a ball of dead flesh and blood, and his soul was being eroded by dark power. He couldn't help but feel hungry for the colleagues who escorted him. He wanted to bite through their necks and take a big bite. The ground swallows their blood.

 But Frodo deeply remembered the feeling of becoming an undead. At the moment of his complete death, he did not see the holy light of the Kingdom of God.

Frodo desperately resisted this urge, and finally reversed time with the power of the dragon's weapons and became a human again.

He once followed the Iron-Blooded General in many battles. Not only did he defeat the Dwarf Iron Guards and the Orc Army, he also slaughtered many evil monsters such as goblins, jackals, and men. He even killed one on a single horse. The achievements of adult ogres.

 Because this young man is Alan Watson, the person who is rumored to have betrayed the Lane Empire.

 The power of the paladin comes from faith. Once he begins to be fearful and uneasy, the power of the Holy Light will disappear.

Only the devout can obtain permission from the gods and enter the Kingdom of God after death. Otherwise, you are going to hell.

 And the undead must go to hell!

　　Before being sent to the imperial capital and meeting the emperor, Frodo had already completed his transformation into an undead.

 Until he became an undead.

 Fortunately, the Lord of the Dawn is a generous god. It should not be difficult for most paladins to enter the Kingdom of God as long as they do not break their oaths.

 Having done so many good deeds, Frodo believed that he was really going to enter the Kingdom of God.

This is not just a fantasy. The Light Priests can ask the heroic spirits from the Kingdom of God to assist in the battle. They found that many paladins who have not become legends will be summoned, which shows that the admission standards of the Kingdom of God are not too high.

Hence, he is not afraid of death and is extremely brave in every battle.

 This is a fear that no believer in any **** can escape.

Frodo originally thought that he would definitely be able to enter the Kingdom of God. After all, he was also a paladin who fulfilled his oath. Not only that, he also made many contributions to Ryan.

Just when he was about to break his oath, Frodo met a boy who was younger than him, but when he saw him, Frodo almost drew his sword and killed him.

Frodo initially thought that it was because he had become undead that he could not ascend to the divine kingdom of the Lord of the Morning. Now that he has recovered, everything will return to normal, and he can still go to the Kingdom of God.

However, there seems to be no point in self-comfort. No matter how he convinces himself, the fear of death still lingers in his heart.

 Frodo knew he had to do something, and cried out. Although it was late at night, even though he went to the outside of the city to cut down trees alone because he was depressed to vent his anger.

But as long as he can let the holy light shine, such a warning will definitely be discovered by the Ryan army in the city, and he can be rescued immediately.

 However, after he tried hard, he found that he could not mobilize the power of the Holy Light at all.

Frodo panicked, it seemed that he was going to die.

Alan Watson is the youngest legend in the empire. Regardless of whether he is a traitor or not, it does not affect that he can kill himself with just a raise of his hand.

 Frodo was so frightened that his legs became weak and he did not even have the strength to run away.

　　Just when Frodo thought he was going to die, the traitor did not draw his sword at him. Instead, he lifted him up and used the holy light to dispel his fear.

 This is the power of the aura of courage. Frodo is very familiar with it, because every time he fights, he likes to turn on this aura and then charge with his colleagues around him.

 He did not expect that one day, the aura of courage would be used to dispel his own fear.

 Alan's holy light was like the dawn sun, making Frodo feel warm and relaxed. Someone with such power shouldn't betray the empire, right?

Alan said to Frodo politely: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you were in a bad state just now."

Frodo was a little ashamed. He was so scared that he wet his pants just now. He was so embarrassed as a paladin.

Frodo said awkwardly: "I was just... um... passing..."

Allen smiled and said: "Haha, it seems that your oath does not require honesty."

“That’s enough, Alan Watson, what on earth do you want to do?! What’s your plot for secretly coming to Liuyan City!”

Although Frodo tried hard to appear tough, anyone could hear that he was sullen and arrogant.

Alan didn't hide anything and said straight to the point: "I'm here to find like-minded people. Your name is Frodo Ors, right? I seem to know you. You swore an oath at the Imperial Capital Temple earlier than me."

Although this was a kind of fate, Frodo was not very happy. Even if they take the same oath in the imperial capital, there are still differences.

Eren's father is the Supreme Judge, so Allen should have sworn an oath in front of the statue of the Lord of the Dawn in the main hall. Frodo, on the other hand, could only swear an oath to the smaller statue of the Lord of the Morning in another smaller prayer room.

On the surface, there are too many sworn paladins to squeeze into one hall, but in fact it is a hierarchy, and Frodo is well aware of it.

When Alan mentioned it now, Frodo only felt that he was showing off.

However, Alan did not continue this topic, as if he really just wanted to find something in common with him, and then said: "Frodo, what do you think of Ryan now?"

Frodo was stunned. He had never thought that Alan would ask this question. Even if you are a traitor, is this too direct a question?

Frodo did not hesitate to express his great satisfaction with the Empire of Llane, and continued to praise the Empire and the Lord of the Morning.

Alan did not retort, but looked at Frodo quietly until he closed his mouth in embarrassment.

"Frodo, why don't you continue? Were there not many more words of praise in the Morning Ceremony?"

Frodo was silent. He didn't know why. He could usually carry these words of praise all day long, but today he couldn't continue talking. In the end, Frodo could only hold back one sentence: "You know how to memorize it, but I am too lazy to memorize it."

 Frodo can’t remember clearly what happened next.

I vaguely remember that I and Allen sat in the woods one night. Allen caught two rabbits and the two of them barbecued them on the spot.

Frodo could not remember what the roast rabbit tasted like. He only remembered that the first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the treetops and fell on Alan. Alan, who was clothed in the morning light, was filled with the divine aura, and Frodo's heart, which had been flustered all night, suddenly calmed down.

 Then, he couldn't help but ask Allen: "Do you think we can enter the Kingdom of God after we die?"

Alan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess it's probably not possible."

Frodo asked excitedly: "Why, I have made so many contributions to Ryan, I have done so much, why can't I enter the Kingdom of God? I have fulfilled my oath and never slacked off, why am I going to hell?! "

Alan sighed and said to Frodo: "Frodo, not only you, I will also go to hell, because I have not been able to make up for the wrong I have committed."

"You are a traitor. Of course you will go to hell. Why should I be the same as you?" Frodo was so angry that he clenched the hilt of his sword and almost drew his sword and slashed at Alan.

Allen didn't pay attention to his hostility, and just said calmly: "Have you ever thought that the wars you and I participated in were all unjust wars. The Lord of the Morning only allowed us to keep hope, but never asked us to bring hope to others. Despair. I participated in the war in the Orc Mountains, and I saw those orcs being slaughtered with my own eyes. They had parents, wives, children, and friends. But what is the reason for us to slaughter the orcs? "

Frodo blurted out: "We are righteous revenge, and the orc kingdom is a feud with us."

"Female? Then who started this feud first? Do you know when the orcs became enemies with Ryan, and why did they become enemies? Even if this is a bad debt, you don't need to think about it, but war even affects children. Don't let it go either?

"Frodo, you followed that iron-blooded general and massacred many people, right? I've heard about your record. You captured the cities of the dwarf kingdom, and only the dumb babies were left to survive. In your hands Have you ever killed those defenseless women and children with your sword?”

 “I don’t have any, those are…”

Frodo wanted to explain that he was only responsible for charging into the battle, and that the massacre behind the city was arranged for the soldiers below, so there was no need for them, the iron-blooded generals and guards, to work hard.

 But he is a paladin after all, and Frodo cannot say such self-deception.

In the war, Frodo and the others were a whole. Whoever killed the old, weak, women and children would stain Frodo's sword with blood.

  If it were before, Frodo would just sneer at Allen's words. When did the Lion Empire make mistakes? All foreign wars are just.

As a paladin, he was proud of Ryan and would not let this glory show any flaws. If anyone dared to say more, he would be taken directly to the Inquisition. What kind of massacre, Frodo can have a hundred reasons to convince others to convince him, all taught by the general.

 But now, there is no power of holy light flowing in his body.

Frodo is no longer a paladin blessed by the Holy Light, he has become an ordinary ordinary person.

As for Allen, the power of Holy Light in his body is so full that he can feel it with his eyes closed.

Traitors can possess this power. Could it be that I am the one who is wrong? He lost the power of the Holy Light not only because he was transformed into an undead, but also because everything he did betrayed the Holy Light?

It’s no wonder that Frodo changed so quickly. The moment he lost his power, Frodo’s spirit was on the verge of collapse.

How enthusiastic I was before, I am so frightened now.

He didn’t want to go to hell. If what Allen said was true, wouldn’t he be a heinous sinner?

Just when Frodo wanted to ask Alan for help, his father Lorenkos appeared. The gray-haired paladin didn't say a word, or even comfort his emotionally broken son, and directly drew his sword at Allen.

 The battle was much duller than expected. The two legendary paladins just let their swords be covered with a faint holy light, and then began a pure martial arts contest.

Obviously both of them can create a pillar of holy light that reaches the sky, but they both restrain their power.

But even so, the battle between the two still dazzled Frodo. Only then did Frodo understand that even if his strength was still there, he would not be able to last two seconds against Alan. The gap was really not that big.

The old man and the young man fought for ten minutes. Finally, Allen's sword fell on Lorencos' neck, and Lorencos' sword was still half an inch away from Allen's chest.

Lorencos threw down the sword and said dejectedly: "You win."

Eren did not feel any pride and picked up Lorenkos' long sword and returned it to his hand.

"If it's a life-and-death fight, even if I can slit your throat, you still have the strength to pierce my heart. If you're just a little faster, it doesn't count as a winner or loser."

Lorencos looked at Allen's young face and couldn't help but said: "What on earth do you want to do here?"

Allen said firmly: "I want to stop this war. When Ryan invaded the Orc Kingdom, I failed to stop him and became an accomplice. This time, I want to stop Ryan from invading Unholy Song."

Lorencos said disdainfully: "Only you? Can you defeat me and still agree to Ryan's army?"

"Of course I can't do it alone, so I'm here to find allies. Senior, you didn't notify the defenders of Liuyan City to arrest me. In fact, you also want to join me, right? You have been watching us all It’s evening, you should already know what I stand for.”

"One night? Father, have you been here all the time?" Frodo never expected that his father would always be watching.

Lorenkos sighed and said: "I am your father, how can I still not know what you are thinking? The moment you went out, I followed you. Frodo, it was I who caused you trouble. The curse on you , It’s a mistake I made, it’s a punishment from the gods.”

Frodo's eyes widened, never expecting that his father would tell such a scary answer.

 The curse of the undead is a punishment?

 Allen opened his mouth, looking a little embarrassed. Although Allen didn't know the details, he didn't have to think about it. This curse must have been caused by Amber Xiu. This lich has been here. Only he can do this method, there is no doubt!

Allan wanted to explain, but Lorencos had already repented deeply.

"Frodo, I followed the general and committed too many killings. I can't remember how many people died by my sword. Are they innocent, are they innocent... I have been asking myself these questions repeatedly, but I am still lucky, thinking that wherever the Holy Light points, everything we do is righteous.

"But I was wrong. The curse you received is a punishment for me and a punishment for you. Haven't you noticed yet? Those who were turned into undead have personally participated in the massacre, and those who have not participated, It’s not affected at all.”

Lorenkos' words made Allen shut up, thinking, it can't be such a coincidence...or maybe the lich did it on purpose?

 Feeling a little unsure, Allen was not ready to blame Amber Xiu for this matter. What if he wrongly accused someone else?

However, this seems to be a good thing.

Alan looked at Lorenkos, who was crying in pain, and then at Frodo, thinking that this ally had come a little too quickly.
