This is a deserted manor. The prosperity of the past has disappeared. The ruins tell the richness of the past and the desolation of the present. Looking around, the rich fields have been covered with snow and withered weeds, and the low houses and granaries Most of them collapsed, and the fences and fences were full of fractured and broken marks.

There are ghouls, beasts, and terrifying undead wandering in the wilderness. This is the case in this terrifying world. If the dead are not buried in a proper way, they will turn into terrifying undead at night, with their righteous The nostalgia of life and the hatred of the living are forever wandering in the wild.

It was still daytime, and a loud noise broke out in the manor.

"Bang!" The sound of heavy objects hitting gold and iron resounded inside the empty manor, followed by the roar of beasts and the shouts of humans: "Come on! Beasts! Taste my power!"

"Be careful! Ah Fu! Don't be impulsive!" Another voice shouted: "Teresa, it's heading towards you!"

"I know!" A calm female voice responded, and then she shouted: "Frost!"

"Pretty, look at me now! Divine Judgment!" The white light flashed, and the beast roared in pain.

This finally allows people to see the whole picture.

In the barren and dilapidated fields, three humans are fighting around a huge beast.

The human headed by a set of full-body plate armor, a large square shield in one hand, and a paladin standard one-handed long sword in the other. , he tapped his shield hard with his sword: "Come on! Beast!!!"

"Dangdangdang!" The sound of gold and iron fighting made the monster extremely irritable.

The tall, white wolf knight wearing chain mail and breastplate took the opportunity to attack the monster's right wing, and every attack he made caused huge damage to the monster.

"Lion, be careful of its stinger!" A little far away, a sorceress in black leather armor and holding a staff moved, chanting a spell silently in her mouth.

The stones on the ground and the collapsed ruins began to combine under the guidance of the magician of the sorceress, and gradually formed a two-meter-tall golem composed of stones and wood. The surface of this golem was covered with thick frost. Under the command of the sorceress, he staggered and charged towards the monster.

The whole picture of the monster was also shown before the three of them.

This is a huge creature with the appearance of a lion. It has a ferocious face like a jackal, a fiery red mane, huge fangs and wings covered with thorns. The most special thing about it is that its tail is very long. , with a barb at the end.

This monster is the manticore that people talk about!

Even among the chaotic creatures, the manticore can be regarded as extremely ferocious. Because of their stubborn and aggressive nature, manticores will fight any enemy for their own territory. In the face of giant eagles, griffins and even dragon emperors who have strayed into the territory, the manticores' response is the same: they will roar and rush towards the enemy, carrying out **** and brutal fights, and you will die until you die. And if the enemy is not physically stronger than himself, the winner of such a fight is often the manticore. They will stand on the cliff and roar, showing their strength and determination.

"Damn, I didn't expect the manticore to be so difficult!" Paladin Alfred moved sideways cautiously, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The manticore is really too sensitive, it can always dodge the attack of the paladin easily, and respond immediately.

The professional characteristics of the paladin are slow movements, low attack ability, and good defense. Facing the attack of the manticore, Alfred always has a situation where he can't use his strength.

Because that beast's tail is so annoying, the stinger soaked in green venom is always dangling next to his head, constantly trying to find a chance to pierce his helmet, when Alfred's After the helmet was deformed by the stinger and flew out, the paladin had to carefully step back.

The venom of the manticore is a deadly poison that seals the throat with blood, and the poisoning of ordinary people basically means death.

"A'Fu, do you want to withdraw?" Ryan shouted aside, he carefully avoided the piercing stinger, and when the manticore spread its wings and wanted to take off, Ryan just hit a heavy hammer to let it go. It fell back to the ground: "Don't force it, you have reached the conditions for a glorious retreat!"

Glorious retreat, one of the dogmas of the Righteous Church.

In view of the fact that the paladins often like to be hot-blooded and die for the sake of justice, the God of Justice formulated this doctrine. When the enemy's strength is three times or more than our own strength, retreating is not a shameful thing , but a glorious thing, called a glorious retreat.

Since this doctrine was published, the death rate of paladins has been greatly reduced.

"No, I haven't used my Divine Shield technique today!" Alfred shouted.

"Okay, it's up to you." Ryan stopped talking.

Together with Holy Shield and Holy Light, it is also known as one of the two great housekeeping skills of paladins. Alfred, who is advanced from paladin to temple guard, can use holy shield once a day, which comes from justice. The power of the God will keep him in battle while remaining largely invincible for a short period of time (almost six seconds).

Although Divine Shield is not invincible in an absolute sense, it is enough to deal with manticores.

The manticore swooped towards Ryan, splashing a lot of dust and snowflakes, and Ryan rolled away with ease, then dashed forward violently, hitting the front paw of the manticore with a hammer, and then immediately dodged the poison of the manticore. Thorn pursuit.

"Ice Lance!" Teresa immediately condensed a long ice spear in the air. The ice spear cut through the sky and roared directly towards the Manticore.

The manticore suddenly dodged, and taking this opportunity, the ice golem immediately embraced it.

Seeing this, Ryan began to charge up.

The manticore struggled with all its might, and its sharp teeth and claws quickly grabbed the golem that Teresa temporarily summoned to pieces. There was a hole in the surface, and the gravel splashed around.

Soon, the connection between the arm and the head of the golem was damaged, and the manticore could no longer be controlled.

But that's enough.

"Frost Nova!!" The sorceress shouted softly, and the inside of the ice golem suddenly spewed out a large stream of frosty mist. The manticore was screaming in agony from the freezing mist, and it struggled to break free. The control of the golem is only under the control of the sorceress, and the golem holds the manticore tightly and does not let go.

Gradually, the manticore's body became rigid, and the golem completely turned back into stone and wood in the manticore's reckless onslaught.

"Holy Shock!" A white glow appeared on the paladin's long sword, and Alfred struck hard, his long sword leaving a huge wound on the Manticore's back.

Immediately after, Ryan's attack, the war hammer in the hands of the white wolf knight erupted with golden light, hitting the manticore's head hard.

Skull Smash!

"Ow!" At the critical moment, the manticore, who felt extremely dangerous, finally managed to get out of the frozen state. It twisted its head and was hit hard by Ryan on the shoulder. With the help of the great strength of the white wolf knight, it slammed towards As Alfred pounced, the poisonous thorns on its tail went high above its head, and stabbed directly towards the paladin's Tianling Gai.

The old power was gone, the new power was not born, and the paladin itself was not an agile profession, so Alfred immediately launched a magical technique.

A golden ring wrapped Alfred in it, and countless golden runes revolved around the paladin. The manticore's ferocious attack was completely blocked by these mysterious energies. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break through the outer perimeter. golden protective energy.

With the protection of Divine Shield, Alfred immediately resorted to a desperate play. Every move of the paladin was to fight for his life, and he did not mind that his moves were open everywhere. Every swing left a deep, visible wound on the manticore's body. Soon, the manticore slowed down due to excessive blood loss and severe injuries, and entered a state of dying.

Ryan smiled inwardly.

Holy Shield is such a rogue. When the Holy Shield is turned on and invincible, the paladin will use this style of play to maximize the value of the Holy Shield, so many people jokingly call the paladins in this state. For "Long Live Charge".

There is no need for him to take action, because the battle is over.

Teresa came, and the sorceress stood outside the manticore's maximum attack range and stretched out her staff to release a terrifying frost. The monster was slowly frozen into a whole ice sculpture. Alfred first A sword cut off the manticore's head, and Ryan also arrived, waving the psionic blade, and the manticore's tail was also separated from its body.

"It's done! We kept the body of this thing intact, and Ms. Dieterinde should pay us a good price!" Ryan laughed.

"It's over, it's over!" The golden ring surrounding Alfred also disappeared, and the paladin grinned and retracted his sword, put his shield behind him, and stretched his waist: "I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to change, Ryan. so strong."

"How can you be your friend if you're not strong?" Ryan said casually, then put away the warhammer: "But you've become stronger too, Fu."

"That is, how can Buqiang be worthy of the title of 'Sledgehammer' Ryan's friend?" Alfred laughed.

The two men looked at each other and felt a deep understanding of each other.

Only the sorceress standing by the side rolled her eyes and wondered, isn't it disgusting for these two men to brag about each other?

"Cough, okay, we've finished the kill, the manticore has fallen, it's getting late, go back early, Ryan? Al... Fred?" Teresa tried her best to look kinder. .

Although the sorceress didn't like paladins, Alfred was Ryan's friend and childhood playmate, and she felt the need to pretend.

"Speaking of which, Ryan, you're really going to ask me to do this... I'm surprised." Alfred sat directly on the ground, panting: "So... well, I have a wish. ."

"A wish?"

"Well, actually, when we entered the city, this Ms. Nora stopped us once in the street." Alfred laughed at himself: "But she can't pay the fee, even if we have given the bottom line So even if it's sad, we have to tell her we can't do it, you know Ryan, the manticore isn't the kind of ghoul or goblin that we can take care of, we can't risk it. Doing something for nothing at the risk of your life."

"It's really uncomfortable when the kids surround us, begging us to help Ms. Nora, but we can't do anything." Alfred said in a gloomy voice: "Occasionally I think, we as paladins don't It should be hoeing the strong and helping the weak, shouldn't it be helping the weak? But I have encountered this kind of thing several times."

"Oh, Ah Fu, you have to know that manpower is limited and precious." Ryan also sat down when he saw this, the man looked at the dim sky and sighed: "If justice does not require a price, then does justice in itself have nothing to do with it? Value? If you don't respect order, does order make sense?"

"I know this too, and if you don't pay a price, the power of a paladin can easily be used by someone with a heart..." Alfred recovered quickly, he got up and wiped the snow and mud under him, recovering. With a cheerful expression: "It's almost there, let's go back!"

"Go back first! I still have something to deal with." Ryan said that he still had something to do: "It's my personal business, so don't get involved."

"Personal business? What do you have to do in this deserted manor at night?" Teresa felt very puzzled, her beautiful face was full of strangeness: "And why are you alone? We didn't agree Are you going to face it together?"

"This is different, this is my personal business, I need a little private space, okay?" Ryan shook his head, obviously not wanting the two of them to continue participating.

"you……"

"Okay, okay, Ms. Trovik, since Ryan doesn't want us to participate, let's go back first!" Alfred came out to get out of the field, and the paladin's words gave the sorceress a step down, Teresa Somewhat unwillingly, he glanced at Ryan, and his red lips spit out: "Then are you coming back for dinner at night?"

"No." Ryan shook his head and walked towards the depths of the manor. The sorceress reluctantly used the space ring to put away the manticore's body and returned to Mijodenhaven with the paladin.

The interior of the manor is already very dilapidated. It can be seen that after the manor was abandoned, few thieves or scavengers visited it, and it may have been deterred by manticores~www.wuxiamtl.com~Lane crossed an uphill The path leads towards the collapsed manor house.

This type of manor is common in Nord, with a typical manor house or castle surrounded by fields, farmhouses, pastures and woodland, and in most cases the manor is self-sufficient. Some of the remaining daily necessities can be traded with other manors to complement each other. Generally, a manor will have ten or more tenants to provide the life and production of the manor owner.

The tenants depend on the situation. Some tenants will have more shares and part of the property rights, and some tenants are no different from serfs. They not only need to pay 70% to 80% of the harvest, but also specialize in arranging and taking care of the manor owner's daily life. and life.

Charlemagne was born as a tenant. The founder of the human empire had herded cattle, planted the ground, chopped firewood, and forked dung when he was a child. The founder of the great human empire was not only not ashamed, but proud. The story of the emperor has deeply inspired generations of poor peasant boys to bravely embark on the road of adventure.

However, the big house that appeared in front of Lane was seriously damaged. The doors and walls of the big house had various large holes. The roof completely collapsed. The smashed furniture and floor on the second floor could be vaguely seen, and the snow was falling. into the interior of the mansion.

"It really fits the definition of an abandoned manor. It takes a lot of effort for Ms. Nora to move in again." Ryan snorted twice.

In fact, as long as the monsters are cleaned up and relative safety is ensured, Nora can rebuild this manor with the help of the Church of Life. As for the tenants... There are so many farmers who cannot survive without land, and want to recruit some tenants It's not difficult, as long as they can eat enough to not freeze to death.

This is not the point, the point is... the ruins of the Old Sage are here!
