Although they had a slight advantage this round, the Paladin did not dare to make further mistakes. He put the long sword back into its sheath, stood up straight, and said in a deep voice;
"I am Landis of the Tomander family, a third-level baron, and a knight captain under the great lord Garris Vishack. Colleague, it seems that there is some misunderstanding between us. I have offended you just now. I hope you can forgive me. ." After speaking, he bowed slightly and saluted.
Although Oster wanted to choke this sanctimonious executioner a few more words, the situation that happened had made him understand that he could no longer continue to yell. The opponent is very powerful, far from being comparable to yesterday's small soldiers who could be played around with at will. Moreover, there are too many surprises in actual combat. If you continue to waste your time, you may lose yourself.
If you think about it carefully, there is absolutely no reason to go against the ruling class here. He traveled to this world to take risks, not to be a boss. He will have to live in this country in the future.
Although the other party oppressed the serfs and took human life lightly, it actually had little to do with him. He had only been here for less than five months and was not familiar with the people here. The fight with the instructor was mostly because the other party had offended him and he was angry.
As for the Burning Revolutionary Army's expedition to liberate the entire universe. Please... In his previous life, he also knew some outstanding and noble people who were dedicated to eradicating exploitation and building a new world without oppression. What do you think happened to the career they worked for their entire lives?
What no one could do in the previous life is not easy to achieve here. Auster has neither the ability nor the will to be a savior. For him, the Book of Sargeras is just a golden finger to gain power, which he can use to live a prosperous and glorious second life.
Now that the other party has apologized and shown good intentions, Auster plans to shake hands and make peace with the Paladin. Maybe it would be a matter of course to establish a good relationship with the church, get some equipment, or even work as an official. He had had enough of the wandering and starving life these days, and wanted to get his time travel back on track as soon as possible.
So he shrugged, whistled and said, "Since you sincerely apologized, I will be merciful and forgive you."
Paladin Landis did not care about Auster's joking attitude. He nodded and ordered the team to reorganize and prepare to leave. He did not forget to ask his men to let go of the three trainers who were tied up.
Oster looked around, and when he accidentally glanced behind the training team, he saw the carriages and cages used to hold prisoners.
Apparently Landis and his team were not idle after leaving before, and caught many escaped serfs and homeless people everywhere. Suddenly, in the corner of the cage, he saw two familiar figures, Windsor and Tommy.
They still failed to escape the search by the pickets. Oster ran over quickly, but the trainer guarding the cage didn't dare to stop him and quickly gave way.
Oster was lying next to the cage and saw Windsor lying motionless in the cage, her eyes closed and her face bloodless. Tommy hugged his mother's head tightly and fell asleep;
What made Oster's blood run cold was that Windsor's hands were being penetrated by a shocking iron wire and nailed together. Tommy's face and body were also covered with bloody whip marks, and his clothes were soaked in his own blood or his mother's blood.
Oster was stunned, his mind went blank. Landis followed and walked over, and Auster asked slowly, "What... is going on?"
Landis glanced at the cage and explained, "Are you talking about this slave girl? She stabbed Lord Vishak with scissors when she was escaping. The Lord said that he must catch the slave alive and punish him personally. .That’s why I temporarily spared her life and the lives of the little bitches next to me.”
Oster's hand gripped the cage pillar and made a crackling sound. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was completely different from most people in this world.
Landis continued, "Don't worry about these smelly slaves. Please come back to the castle with me. I will formally introduce you to the great lord. Don't you know your name yet?"
"My Lord, I am your father." Auster stood up slowly. Hearing a click, he used his fingers to snap off a piece of the wooden cage pillar.
Landis was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is this a popular way of saying hello now? I haven't been to Stormwind City for a few days. I don't know what trend has emerged there..."
Auster turned back, stared into Landis's eyes, and said word by word;
"I now understand that even if insects are shiny and glamorous, it cannot change the fact that they are beasts. And humans and beasts can never stay together."
At this time, Landis finally understood what the other party meant, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, even if you are a member of the Holy Light, no matter how high your status is, it is not allowed to insult a knight in person. I advise you to take back what you just said, otherwise I have the right to challenge you to a duel in accordance with the laws of chivalry."
Auster threw the broken pillar directly and hit Landis' breastplate. "Don't bother me. Use all your skills. I'm in a hurry."
Landis stared at Oster coldly, holding the sword handle in his hand. Upon seeing this, the surrounding instructors knew that the two were going to have a second round and quickly made room for them.
Auster and Landis stood opposite each other. On one side were exquisite plate armor and enchanted swords with exaggerated thickness, while on the other side were rags and unarmed clothes that could not cover their bodies.
Although he planted the flag when he was hot-headed, Auster understood that the situation was still not good for him. He had used up all the spells he had learned secretly, and he had no good way to deal with Tie Diao, who was wearing heavy armor.
In the Middle Ages of the earth, a knight wearing a three-millimeter iron sheet and holding a cast-iron sword was enough to be unparalleled in the peasant army; and in this world, the plate armor generally reached three centimeters, which was more than the light tank in World War I. It was also because of the outrageous It's effortless to wear magic and be alive and kicking. If the opponent rushes directly towards you, your best choice is to turn around and run.
However, Oster glanced at the dying Windsor mother and son in the cage next to him, and he could not retreat this time.
Fortunately, Landis had already determined that the opponent was a high-level priest undergoing penance and did not intend to attack directly. He used the highest level of holy magic from the beginning.
[Judgment, spell level 5, type sacred. 】
When the Paladin finished casting the spell, a light hammer hit him. The U disk interface in front of Oster clearly marked the progress of the opponent's spell casting and the trajectory of the spell.
One of the biggest differences between this world and the game is that spells cannot automatically lock on like missiles and will not move and turn with the target.
In this relatively real world, the magic released is just like the arrows and bullets fired. The trajectory will go wherever it is cast without changing the path midway. It is equivalent to all floor skills. Most spells will not distinguish between friend and foe, as long as they are within the attack range, they will be hit equally.
Auster suspected that the original setting of Chronicle was like this, but the game was simplified for ease of operation. This feature also applies to treatment and effect spells. In other words, if the target of the spell moves out of the range, the health increase will still be missed.
Relying on the buggy advance reading and analysis functions of the Sashu, Oster can move and evade before the spell hits. As long as the distance is far enough and his movements are not restricted, he has super high dodge ability against most spells.
After easily evading the judgment spell, Oster casually used the same attack to fight back. Copying does not require chanting or casting time, and the opponent has no ability to see the path and direction of the spell, so he can only rely on the equipment on his body or a spell to resist.
After going back and forth, Auster was unscathed, while Landis was panting. The enchanted energy on several pieces of plate armor on his body was exhausted and became extremely heavy, which made his shoulders hurt and his movements were greatly slowed down.
Seeing that the U disk detected that the durability of the opponent's armor was reduced and his actions were slowing down, Oster realized that even in this world, plate armor was not heavy enough to wear and move around under normal circumstances;
The thick armors worn by officers and knights are actually equipped with gravity magic. Enchanting in this world is as common and simple as adding a screw to a piece of engine oil. That's why they can wear armor with exaggerated thickness and feel as light as wearing foam models. If the enchantment energy is exhausted or destroyed, the armor will return to its normal weight.
The battle quickly returned to the rhythm of the previous round. Auster circled the field, not giving the opponent a chance to get close, and relied on copying spells to counterattack, constantly consuming Landis's magic power and physical strength. The latter was already in disarray, and his movements had slowed down. He was dragged through more than a dozen holy spells and was exhausted.
