Chapter 332 Allen's Allies

Frodo was once an ambitious young man.

His family has a long history of learning. His father, Lorencos, is a legendary paladin. Frodo is the only son in the family. It can be said that he has been carefully cultivated by this legendary strongman since he was a child.

Frodo is not bad in talent and he works hard. He is considered a leader among his peers.

Otherwise, he would not be qualified to guard the gate for the Iron-Blooded General.

This is a close guard, a position that his father, Lorencos, once held. It can be seen how much the Iron-Blooded General values ​​him. It is almost obvious that he will take over his father's position in the future, and he will be reused even if he does not enter the legendary level.

Until the day that Amber Xiu came to Liuyan City, Frodo was an ambitious young man.

Until the sudden appearance of the undead curse.

Frodo felt his body becoming undead little by little.

It was not very painful, not as painful as the pain of being injured during training, but it brought him a hundred times more fear.

Frodo was not afraid of death, but afraid that he would fall into hell after death.

This is a fear that no believer of any god can escape.

Only the devout can get the permission of the gods and enter the kingdom of God after death. Otherwise, you will fall into hell.

Fortunately, the Lord of 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.

This is not a fantasy. The priests of light can ask the heroes of the kingdom of God to help them fight. They found that many paladins who have not become legends will be summoned, which shows that the admission standard of the kingdom of God is not too high.

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

He once followed the iron-blooded general to fight east and west. He not only fought against the dwarf iron guards and the orc army, but also slaughtered many evil monsters such as goblins and gnolls. He even killed an adult ogre alone.

After doing so many good things, Frodo believed that he was really going to enter the kingdom of God.

Therefore, he was not afraid of death, and he was extremely brave in every battle.

Until, he became a dead soul.

This curse was so vicious that it could turn a holy warrior into a dead soul, and he was completely unable to resist it.

And the dead soul must go to hell!

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

He could feel that his body was already a mass of dead flesh and blood, and his soul was also eroded by the power of darkness. He couldn't help but feel hungry for his colleagues who escorted him. He wanted to bite through their necks and swallow their blood.

Frodo desperately resisted this impulse, and finally reversed time under the power of the dragon's armed forces and became a human again.

But Frodo deeply remembered the feeling of becoming a dead soul. At the moment of his complete death, he did not see the guiding holy light of the kingdom of God.

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

However, self-consolation seems to be meaningless. No matter how he convinces himself, the fear of death still lingers in his heart.

And because of this fear, he found that his power began to fade.

The power of the paladin comes from faith. Once he begins to be afraid and uneasy, the power of the holy light will disappear.

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

Because this young man was Alan Watson, the man who was rumored to have betrayed the Ryan Empire.

Frodo knew that he should take action and shouted loudly. Although it was late at night, although he ran out of the city to cut trees to vent because of depression.

But as long as he could make the holy light light up, such a warning would definitely let the Ryan army in the city find it and rescue him immediately.

However, he tried hard and found that he could not mobilize the power of the holy light at all.

Frodo panicked, and it seemed that he could not escape death.

Alan Watson was the youngest legend in the empire. Whether he was a traitor or not, it did not affect his ability to kill himself with a raise of his hand.

Frodo was so scared that his legs went weak, and he didn't even have the strength to run away.

Just when Frodo thought he was going to die, the traitor didn't draw his sword against him, but helped him up and used the holy light to dispel his fear.

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

He didn't expect that one day, the aura of courage would be used to dispel his fear.

Alan's holy light was like the sunlight at dawn, making Frodo feel warm and relaxed. People with such power should not betray the empire, right?

Alan said to Frodo politely: "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you were a little bit wrong just now."

Frodo was a little ashamed. He was almost scared to pee his pants just now, which was a disgrace to the paladin.

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

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

"Enough, Alan Watson, what do you want to do?! You secretly came to Flowing Flame City, do you have any conspiracy!"

Although Frodo tried hard to make himself look tough, anyone could hear that he was timid.

Allen 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."

Taking the oath in the imperial capital is a privilege for those of the second generation of Ryan. To be able to take the oath in the Temple of the Lord of Dawn in the imperial capital, one must have a prominent family background. 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.

Allen's father is the Supreme Judge, so Allen should be in the main hall, swearing an oath in front of the statue of the Lord of the Dawn. 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 were too many sworn paladins to squeeze into one hall, but in fact it was about hierarchy, and Frodo knew it well.

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

However, Allen 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, isn't it too direct to ask this?

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 refute, but just looked at Frodo quietly until he closed his mouth in embarrassment.

"Frodo, why don't you go on? Weren't there 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 couldn't remember much of 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?"

Allen shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess not."

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 haven't been able to make up for the mistakes I made."

"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 didn't, those are all..."

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, and 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 only 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 else dared to say more, he would be taken directly to the tribunal. 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 even with his eyes closed.

Traitors can possess this power. Could it be that I am the one who made the mistake? 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?

No wonder Frodo changed so quickly. The moment he lost his power, Frodo's spirit was on the verge of collapse.

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

He didn't want to go to hell. If what Allen said was true, wouldn't he be guilty of a heinous crime?

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

The battle was much more dull than expected. The two legendary paladins only covered their swords with a faint holy light, and then began a simple martial arts contest.

Obviously, both of them could create a holy light column that soared into the sky, but they restrained their power.

But even so, the battle between the two still made Frodo feel dazzled. Frodo realized that even if he still had strength, he couldn't last two seconds against Alan. The gap was really huge.

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

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

Alan didn't feel proud at all, and picked up Lorencos's sword and returned it to his hand.

"If it's a life-and-death fight, even if I can cut your throat, you still have the strength to pierce my heart. A little faster doesn't count as winning or losing."

Lorencos looked at Alan's young face and couldn't help saying, "What on earth do you want to do here?"

Alan 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 the Unholy Song."

Lorencos said disdainfully, "Just you? Can you beat me and agree to Ryan's army?"

"Of course I can't do it alone, so I'm here to find an ally. Senior, you didn't notify the garrison of Liuyan City to arrest me. In fact, you also want to join me, right? You have been watching us all night, and you should have been very clear about my ideas."

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

Lorencos sighed and said, "I am your father, how can I not know what you are thinking? I followed you a second after you left. Frodo, I have implicated you. The curse on you is the fault I committed and the punishment of the gods for me."

Frodo's eyes widened. He never expected that his father would give such a scary answer.

The curse of the dead is a punishment?

Alan opened his mouth and looked a little embarrassed. Although Alan didn't know the details, he didn't have to think about it. This curse must have been made by Amber. This lich has been here. Only he can do this. There is no doubt!

Alan wanted to explain, but Lorencos had already confessed bitterly.

"Frodo, I followed the general and committed too many murders. I can't remember how many people died under my sword. Are they innocent? Are they innocent... I have been asking myself these questions over and over again, but I still have a fluke, thinking that everything we do is justice where the holy light points.

"But I was wrong. The curse you suffered is a punishment for me and for you. You haven't discovered that those who were turned into undead were all those who participated in the massacre, while those who didn't participate were not affected at all. "

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

Alan was a little unsure, so he didn't plan to push the blame on Amberxiu. What if he wrongly accused someone else?

However, this seems to be a good thing.

Alan looked at the crying Lorencos, then at Frodo, thinking, this ally came a little too quickly.
