Chapter 707: The Paladin's Dilemma (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
As soon as Solam appeared, they attracted a large number of bloody evil spirits! (Because Soram is flying, a little faster than Witherland, that's why they appear together)
At the same time, their noses also began to bleed, and one of the priests had a bad mouth because of the fire in the last two days, and he was unlucky at this time, his mouth was full of blood, and he was choked by the blood in his throat and almost turned his back, anyway, on the surface, this guy was constantly coughing up blood, and I didn't know that I thought this person had suffered multiple injuries.
And that's not the most unlucky, because another priest has been suffering from hemorrhoids...... The amount of bleeding, people who don't know, think that he is a big man and has come to the big aunt.
When Solam was about to face the enemy with the dizziness caused by the surge of blood and qi, there was an uproar, and the entire blood-colored space was shattered at once. The people who presided over the blood feast are gone, and naturally it can't be maintained.
The evil spirit that was originally bloody Hula disappeared in an instant, leaving a pool of blood on the ground. (After all, there was so much blood, Alfred couldn't really suck it in, he just absorbed the essence of it, so a lot of blood was left on the ground)
Adding up, the blood that wasn't too big gathered together, causing a finger-deep pool of blood to rise on the ground. Seeing this scene, those who survived were all motionless with dull eyes. It's as if they're in a nightmare right now! Just a few minutes ago, they were discussing with their comrades, worrying about the situation in the seal and imagining how to celebrate after victory.
But after a few minutes, most of them fell to the ground, turned into dried corpses soaked in pools of blood, this kind of rise and fall is unacceptable to a normal person, and some people don't even know what happened and why it turned out to be like this.
"Bang dang!" Seeing this scene, Witherland also seemed to have his spine removed, and fell to the ground limply, and the sword in his hand fell weakly to the ground before him. His hands, which had not wavered in the face of countless powerful enemies, could only tremble as if they had Parkinson's disease, and the gray hair that had been caused by sacrifice had completely turned white at this moment.
His spine, which seemed to never bend, also bent down, and in this short period of time, he went from a high-spirited middle-aged man to an old man who was about to die.
"Tyre is on top...... What the hell did I do? Witherland's eyes looked blankly at his weak hands, and the pathos in his eyes was so sad that at last Witherland buried his tearful face deep between his trembling hands. What have I done? ”
The poor paladin attributed everything to himself, it was he who swore to lead those companions to glory, it was he who led them to this battle with confidence, and it was he who led them to death! Even in the end, he could only watch the souls of these kind and brave warriors being desecrated!
Yes, those manipulated souls have been desecrated, they have been tainted with the evil of ancient vampires, and their souls will be pulled into the lower planes, even if they were originally good and should be ascended to the kingdom of God.
Poor Witherland thus fell into self-blame and self-denial.
He was wearing silver-white knight's armor, with broken scars faintly visible on it, and a faint holy power surrounded by the blade of the sword, and drops of blood slipped from his body. His body trembled slightly, and he kept trying to stretch out his hands as if he was going to hug something, but he reached out and took them back in fear.
His eyes were already blank, and the expression on his face was full of remorse and powerlessness. Finally he let out a suppressed and silent roar, muttering in a pathetic voice, "Why is this happening? Why wasn't it me who died! “
"Why ?!!!"
At this moment, the light of the holy power on his body was already swaying, like a candle flame flickering and flickering, as if it could be extinguished at any time. His faith is shaken, and if he fails to strengthen his beliefs, then he will lose the power of the Paladin and become an ordinary warrior.
His faith was close to crumbling. This paladin, who once caught the attention of the god of justice, has begun to fall!
Solam could see clearly from the side, and this paladin with a strong sense of responsibility seemed to be caught in a paladin dilemma. The so-called paladin dilemma is a well-known theory in the mainland, and even many evil creatures regard this theory as a program of action to make the paladin fall.
Paladins are a group that adheres to justice, kindness, and order, and they regard fighting evil, upholding justice, and protecting the weak as their highest criterion. As long as they believe that they are right, then no one can destroy their faith, no matter how strong the enemy is.
But what if they don't believe in their beliefs anymore? What about when they think that their persistence in their beliefs has caused more serious consequences?
For example, this is the case with Witherland, who insisted on his beliefs and did not turn a blind eye to evil when he knew that the vampire ancestor did not intend to move the sealing core, and he upheld his faith to destroy evil, so he fought with the vampire ancestor, and then a series of events occurred, resulting in the mass death of his comrades.
What if he turned a blind eye to the vampire progenitor? So will there be a sacrifice in front of you? Chances are: No! After all, he heard it very clearly, that vampire ancestor did not want to target the city's desires, he was afraid of the attitude of the gods. In other words, if the situation allows, he should quietly leave here, and maybe he won't clash with the commandos at all!
That is, now that is the case with Witherland, in his mind, he would not have done such serious harm if he had not stood up for his beliefs. So his faith was shaken.
He may not be afraid of bloodshed, he is not afraid of evil, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of everything he sees, and all this seems to him to be born because of him, because of his actions to uphold justice, he has set off a killing.
Holding on to his beliefs will cause killing, so he doesn't know whether it's right to hold on to his beliefs, so his beliefs waver. If you don't stick to your beliefs, although you won't kill them, if you don't stick to your beliefs, your beliefs will still waver.
As a result, a dilemma was formed......
He was lost, he didn't know if the justice he believed in was still right! The light on his body was getting dimmer, he was about to lose the power of his faith, and the holy power was moving away from this once strong paladin, because his heart was full of confusion.
Although Soram didn't know what kind of predicament he was in, it didn't stop Soram from "waking" him up. In Solam's opinion, the so-called paladin dilemma is bullshit! It was a bunch of hot-blooded little kids who accidentally got into the horns and couldn't get out, and then they became nerves.
After all, most of the people who can become paladins are that kind of emotional guys, rich in emotions and persistent, after all, if you don't do this, it is really unlikely that you will embark on the road of paladin. Without abundant feelings, there is a lack of empathy, and without empathy, there is no idea that justice must be upheld. If you are not attached, you can't go on the road of paladins at all.
And this kind of person is precisely the easiest to drill the horns, once the blow is too big, they will blame themselves for the matter, and then it will be a tragedy.
In fact, the easiest way to deal with this kind of thinking person is to fool him and wake him up! And that's exactly what Soram did.
"Smack!"
Just when a group of people were in a state of grief, a crisp slap made everyone focus on Soram, who was beating, including the confused Witherland.
"I said, what are you doing? If you're not doing anything, what are you thinking here? Think all that mess is useful? ”
Witherland's mood is really very low now, so much so that after being slapped by Solam, he just looked at Solam in a daze, and didn't react at all, you must know that although the paladin is polite and looks very beautiful, but if you slap a paladin, then you will definitely be beaten miserably.
This is not the end, if you meet a paladin who believes in a good side god, maybe he will just beat you up and tell you to get out, but if you meet a paladin on the side of the faith order, it will be over. Not only will he beat you up, but he will also take you to a local judge and accuse you of assaulting someone at will, and the consequences will depend entirely on the local law.
(Although the paladin is in the camp of order and goodness, the focus of paladins of different faiths is also different, some are more focused on goodness, and some are more focused on order)
Paladins themselves are a violent profession, they persuade people to be good, but they will not use mouth cannons like monks, although they occasionally use mouth cannons, but more often use violence to destroy evil, then the rest is good, don't think that they are kind and have no temper.
But now that Wesselland's situation was so bad that the thing didn't react to Solam slapping him at all. Seeing this scene, Soram didn't panic, since he didn't react, it only showed one problem, that is-he hadn't fought enough.
"Smack!" Two more slaps, this time Soram didn't leave his hand, with Solam's strength, Witherland didn't spew out a mouthful of teeth, that is because he has a good physique, paladin, and generally resists beating. No matter how hard you resist the beating, the pain is still the same.
And so Witherland broke out!
"Hit me! It's all my fault! I hurt them! Beat me to death! ”
Well, this seems to be a little different from what Soram expected, but it's not a problem, as long as he responds again, but I have to say that Soram still enjoys the feeling of slapping the paladin wantonly, and he is also a paladin who is close to a legend.
