The paladin does not back down
“You act like a dog from the start.”
“Zeva, I am a knight, Zebaaa! Turn it off!”
“no! I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know! Son of a b*tch! I don’t know!”
Only then did Hyunjoon step out. I guess I really don’t know.
“Next time I will dig out your eyes.”
Hyunjoon said calmly. Diane nodded vigorously.
“Have you met the client?”
Diane finally got an outline of how things were going. entangled in dirty work.
“Is the answer late?”
“We met! I met you!”
When Hyun-jun saw Bronn again, Dien shouted.
“It was a dark-haired woman! But I didn’t see the face! Really!”
“How was your voice?”
“Oh, it was a very, very soft and beautiful voice.”
“What is your physique?”
“The height, the height… the height! He was a little shorter than me, dwarfed, uh, big-breasted, and…”
Diane closed her eyes tightly to remember her client. Fearing that if the words stopped, Hyeon-joon would step on Bronn’s wound again, so he tried to keep talking, but in the end, nothing specific came to mind from his appearance.
“speech! His tone was very noble. like a noble lady. And, and, and…”
“Has anyone else seen it?”
“There were two very tall people behind me. They covered their bodies and did not speak.”
“Is that all?”
“stink! There was a huge stench. It smelled like something from a festering wound. And it was kind of an uncomfortable feeling.”
Dien swallowed and spoke frantically. Hyunjoon nodded. Because they didn’t know the child, it was possible that they were unrelated, but it was true that they had found it properly.
“Who are these people who left footprints? I don’t think you guys left it.”
“There are those who carry the load. I have never met a client because he told me not to contact him.”
Hyeonjun showed this and laughed ferociously.
“okay. Those burdens are children. You motherf*ckers.”
“ah.”
Diane just stopped. The head, which had not returned to pain and despair, finally grasped the situation. They were guarding the road to the kidnappers!
“Mo, I didn’t know! I really didn’t know! We just told them to stay here!”
“Die, Mia, Mia.”
Bronn’s muttering grew quieter.
“Bron! Sorry, because of me! sorry!”
“Hey, hey, hey, Mia.”
Tears welled up in Dien’s eyes as he screamed and attacked.
“Zeva, buy it from Ui Dee. please.”
“hmm.”
Hiss!
The longsword, which was comfortably held in one hand, was swung cleanly, hitting Dien’s neck as he lay down and spinning around to slash Bronn’s neck as well, who had his head slammed into his feet. Bronn is already dying anyway, so he can’t even see. Not allowing him to see the death of his last comrade was all he could offer of mercy. It is true that they participated in this work even if they did not know and received the request. And you can’t send them alive and leave behind a sequel.
“…”
[Hyeonjun Kang]
Attribute: Analysis
Protection: Protection of the Goddess of Education and Growth
Karma: 178
Above all, you cannot spit out the karma that has been pushed down your throat. Hyeonjun nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw the karma that had risen to 58 at once. He put on his helmet again and searched the corpse and the stronghold. Couldn’t get any info. However, they were able to find 20 fairy tales and two rings that Bronn hid in his arms. The equipment was not immediately taken. It’s a burden, and it’s also because of the eyes of the temple.
This time he fought alone, but he invaded the base, but he couldn’t go in alone. Rescuing the children is important, but here it would be better to save yourself and enter with the combat priests. First, go to the temple and share information. If there is nothing special, return here with the priests.
Hyeonjun ran at full speed as soon as he got out of the sewer. The longer the time, the more dangerous the children will be. But something is strange. As I ran, I looked around and somehow there were few people and armed guards were guarding their positions. And as they passed the bridge in the city, they found a group of guards making a fuss in front of the temple. Eyes met with the one who had been screaming loudly, but they were both in a hurry, so they just nodded and passed by. He hurriedly crossed the bridge, shouting at the buzzing guards at an apparently unreasonable pace.
“What about the child?”
When Hyeon-jun arrived in front of the temple, Idelia asked urgently after seeing him. I went to rescue the child, but since I came alone, I have no choice but to worry.
“The place I went to was their base. The children will be inside. I have to go with the priests.”
“…”
At those words, Idelia hesitated and stared at Hyeon-jun for a while. However, he quietly nodded his head. Hyeon-jun passed by Idelia and entered the temple. Other battle priests are pacing nervously in the courtyard.
“Brother! A child!”
“The place I went to was their home base. There was a battle at the entrance, but the children were not taken inside.”
“We have to go in right now.”
“First, we share information. Come to think of it, is Priest Zilenai still there?”
“Brother Zilenai said he would leave the child with us and search for it some more.”
“yes? You mean alone?”
“yes. I met him while returning home with my child. He said that the situation was suspicious and left immediately.”
“Are you suspicious?”
A shadow fell on the battle priests’ faces.
“They all had two children. I heard from the kidnappers, but they said they left it on purpose.”
Hyunjoon kept his mouth shut. His brilliant mind had already worked out the answer, but he couldn’t get his mouth shut.
‘It is my mistake.’
Hyunjoon gritted it. The guy is trying to buy time. I don’t know how he knew it, but he left the children two by two to keep the priests bound after finding out about the raid on the southern slums. Hyunjoon couldn’t back down. Even if it was dangerous, they had to attack the base. Other teams would have come for him if he somehow managed to pass the time. However, he made a reasonable judgment and immediately put his own life above the safety of the children. Of course he doesn’t want to die. However, his choice put the children in danger, and they may have already been in an irreversible situation. I feel like I’m going to break my stomach with a lot of guilt. It’s different from Bimarun’s work. It is only a result of his choices.
“It is wasting time. right now···.”
Hyeonjun stopped talking in shock and looked around.
“Why is that?”
A combat priest asked Hyeon-jun. It was an urgent situation, but it was because his condition was so strange. Hyeon-joon’s complexion suddenly turned pale, and he seemed frightened.
“Something is coming!”
The combat priests didn’t feel anything yet, but they immediately grabbed their weapons and tried to run out of the temple. But no one got out of the temple.
“hi?”
Suddenly, a black mist surrounded the temple like a dome. The divine power that had been kept invisible against him expanded like an explosion and burned red.
“The power of Tahman!”
A battle priest shouted like a scream. Through the black mist, I see Edelia and a small girl standing in front of her. As the battle priests were about to leave, spreading divine power from their bodies, the child raised his hand and pointed at them.
“From now on, if I touch even a handful of divine power, I will kill all the children.”
At that, the combat priests had no choice but to stop. The black fog withdrew and stopped at some distance from the red-hot holy power. The child spoke with a seductive smile and a bewitching voice that did not match her cute face.
“So, are you Rize? hi.”
“My name is Idelia.”
Edelia spoke coldly to the point of being creepy. However, he did not raise his shield or draw his sword. Because she knows that the child in front of her is simply being manipulated.

“Whoops, Rize. Don’t we have a lot to share with each other?”
“Where are the children?”
The child wiped away tears with an exaggerated sad face.
“oh my god! i really want to talk to you aren’t you It is so sad.”
The child gently stroked his face with his hand near his eyes and grinned ferociously.
“To the point of tears.”
“no!”
The child dug out the snow with his hand. As if he didn’t feel any pain, he poked his finger into it with a smile on his face and even stirred it as if he was having fun.
“Oh, you are scared. If you come any closer, you might be so surprised that your heart might stop?”
“A child! The child has nothing to do with this!”
“It is, but. How about just writing some?”
The sound of grinding teeth echoed clearly inside Idelia’s helmet.
“Idelia! Be careful!”
The combat priests are at a loss. But all they can do now is issue pointless warnings.
“So, are you ready to talk now? Rize.”
“tell.”
The child removed his fingers from his eyes and said, shaking his hands noblely as if they were dirty.
“You can’t talk on the street like this without dignity, can you? Only Midel misses you so much, and I will be really sad to see you now.”
“Where can I go?”
Idelia ignored the story of the man named Middelman and spoke in a calm tone. It’s like you’ve become a completely different person. The child shook his head as if he couldn’t stop.
“I will leave it. You can’t find it, can you?”
Edelia silently nodded and said.
“Are the children all right?”
“of course. Well, as for the living children.”
“I want to make sure my kids are safe.”
The child shuts up. Then the bloody face began to contort as if leather had been pulled.
“You don’t believe me. okay. Then you should hear it. Now, this is the apprentice paladin you guys have been looking for so desperately.”
The child suddenly lost his expression and began to make incomprehensible sounds from his mouth. It sounds like a lot of people are groaning.
“Can you hear me in such a low voice?”
The child grinned again. Then the expression disappeared again and the mouth opened.
“Quaaa!”
“what!”
“aaa! Ahhh! Kyaaa!”
A sound like dozens of children screaming came out of the child’s mouth. Apparently, blood is splattering in the child’s mouth and his voice is tearing at the cost of making a sound that no human being can make.
“stop! I believe!”
The sound stopped at Edelia’s cry. The child said with a smile on his face.
“Let’s go… let’s go…”
With a completely broken and barely audible voice, the child collapsed helplessly. Edelia hurried to the child. The child is on the verge of dying. She took the potion from a small bag on her belt, poured some into the child’s eyes, and carefully poured the rest into the child’s mouth. Fortunately, the child’s breathing returned and stabilized shortly after. Edelia picked up the child, carefully set it down at the entrance of the temple, and immediately turned around.
“No, Idelia! It’s a trap!”
“Here! no!”
The battle priests gathered at the entrance and shouted. They all desperately try to catch Idelia and talk to her.
“Idelia. Even if you go, the safety of your children cannot be guaranteed. They may already be, already all… dead.”
A combat priest said desperately. At those words, Edelia turned around. She raised the visor of her helmet and made eye contact with the battle priests. There was not a single trace of fear on her face. That beautiful face just calmly shows a firm will, prepared for even her own death.
“We cannot give up even the slightest possibility.”
“It’s a trap.”
“The children are suffering, they are afraid. Even now, it is too late.”
“Yes, it is too late.”
A battle priest knelt down and wept and begged her.
“We need to save the children.”
“You are also a child we need to save!”
The kneeling priest screamed as he banged his head on the floor. He sobbed and begged her.
“Ide… Please… please don’t go…”
“You have hope that the children are still alive.”
At those words, the prostrate priest raised his head. Yeah, they’re not going beyond the Black Mist because they’re threatening to kill the child in the end. Even though they can go whenever they want.
“Trust me. I will protect the children and the hopes of my older brothers.”
The priests looked at Idelia’s bright smile disappearing beyond the visor, sobbing. She hid her face like that and turned around and said.
“A paladin never backs down from those he needs to protect under any circumstances. And I will definitely save you.”
Even though her armor didn’t shine and she didn’t even have a red cape on her back, at this moment no one could deny that she was the sword and shield of Karios.
“Of course I’m just an apprentice.”
bang!
“no!”
Idelia was shot out at once with great power. Before the priest’s screams were over, she was already out of sight. The priests cried out Idelia’s name, but they couldn’t reach her. Even if she had heard it, she would never have stopped.
Tring!
