Raising Paladins

Episode 4. stand upright (3)

“uh? This?!”

sue-

White energy rises from the root of the seedling.

Weak, but clearly good and pure energy.

No one else knew, but Carlos knew what it was right away.

Carlos was the person who had been with that energy all his life and gained everything because of that energy.

The aura that shimmered beautifully in the air was divine power.

‘Unusually… … This little energy remained in the roots!’

Carlos cautiously knelt down.

I slowly stretched out my hand to greet the divine power hovering in the air.

Then, as if greeting each other, they spin around and play tricks.

After that, following Carlos’s guidance, he shyly permeated into the palm of his hand.

“Write- ha-.”

exhilarating feeling!

Carlos, who has been sensitive to divine power since birth.

There, he lived as a paladin dealing with divine power for the rest of his life.

However, the aura of this divine power was really clear and clean, so Carlos felt a thrilling newness every time he accepted a new divine power.

‘I don’t need anything else. Just one of these is enough!’

The merciless assault that followed as soon as I woke up with a pitiful body!

Moreover, Yeomyeonggyo, the hometown of the heart of the poor, is on the verge of ruin!

There is a reason why Carlos did not lose his reason despite all the bad conditions.

That was the ability of ‘Divine Power Response’.

“hehehehe.”

Carlos realized that his talent did not disappear in this life!

He let out a laugh that even sounded a bit gloomy.

‘What?’

Tira winced and backed away.

“knife? Are you okay?”

This man looks really dangerous.

As soon as I first saw him, I noticed that he was a great delusionist, but now I see that he has other symptoms as well.

As he stroked the sapling, he made a strange groan, saying, ‘bit-ah-bit-ah-‘.

Right now, I’m smiling wide at the empty space wondering what’s so good about it.

Again, the confidence that suddenly dwells in both eyes!

Tyra had seen these symptoms several times.

‘transformation!’

From delusions to perverts.

It is truly an incurable disease.

However, Tira, a trainee priest of the Dawning Bridge, rather burned her passion.

‘I’ll be sure to treat you! Let’s go!’

A kind hearted child who wants to help more when he sees a sad story.

Feeling Tira’s gaze, a question crossed Carlos’ face.

‘Can’t you see this?’

Obviously, Tyra said that there were no more people who received divine power in this world.

One floats like this in front of your eyes, but you can’t even see it?

‘If I had seen it, I would have reacted.’

Tira didn’t do anything while Carlos himself gained divine power from the sapling.

I was just staring blankly.

It was Carlos who felt that all the responders had disappeared.

“Tira.”

“yes?”

“Can’t you see this?”

Carlos puts his palm forward.

A strand of the divine power he had just acquired bloomed on the palm of his hand.

The divine power that rose like a haze squirmed in the air.

But what came back was an odd question.

“Are there any fairies?”

“fairy?”

“The delusional ones… … No, sick people with headaches often say that they see fairies. Is there a fairy on the palm of the sick person?”

“… … .”

“I’ll try to guess! Umm… … Wind fairy!”

dory dory.

“Then a fire sprite? Oh hot!”

dory dory.

“Could it be a sea fairy? Is that the fairy who makes your palms taste salty!”

“after… … .”

How far has this world gone?

No, apprentice priests don’t feel divine power at all?

What criteria do you use to select priests?

The world that Carlos had ruined and the Dawning Bridge hung their heads sadly.

‘There are really not just one or two things to fix.’

It feels like facing a huge wall!

But I have no intention of giving up.

Because Carlos has fixed a guy who’s much more serious than Tira now.

‘Angel, are you watching?’

Thunder Sword. Knight of Thunder.

And the leader of the Cloud Knights, one of the four knights who followed Carlos.

His swordsmanship, which converts divine power into the power of thunder, boasted the strongest prowess among the four knights.

Few people know that such an angel was a divinely sensitive eunuch (?) who was naturally incapable of responding to divine power.

It was Carlos who fixed it and even taught me how to replace divine power with natural power.

Even this kind-hearted apprentice priest will surely be able to do it later.

‘From the first step, step by step… … No, let’s start with creeping.’

A faint but clear hope.

Carlos had one more corner to believe in.

‘I can correct the wrong training method of my previous life!’

It is clear that Carlos was the paladin, the strongest paladin in the empire, and was the best in all fields, including divine response, divine operation, and natural power substitution of divine power.

However, the training method was already established before Carlos was born.

It is also very systematic.

Carlos also studied following the training method and became the most efficient divine power user.

However, there was a pitfall in that venerable training method.

‘Who knew that the more I used it, the more the maximum divine power would decrease!’

Of course, others didn’t know.

Because the vessels of their innate divine power were too small.

Even if priests who can hold 1 holy power lose 0.1 holy power right before they die, what does that mean?

Carlos was different.

He was born with a miracle of a size that others could not possibly fathom.

And I realized just before the final battle with the Lich King.

That part of the magic that was as wide as the sea has disappeared.

Of course, the difference was insignificant in small battles because the bowl was so big.

However, in the showdown with the Lich King, it worked very painfully.

‘If only there was more divine power than I lost… … .’

Then it is possible that neither he nor his comrades died.

Originally, in a fight between the strongest, one trivial thing decides the winner.

‘This time it will be different!’

Definitely different, this time!

He trains not with the training method set by the world, but with the training method he created himself.

In this way, it will form a wider and greater sea of divine power than in the previous life.

Even if you scoop it out, don’t let it dry out!

‘Not only the use of divine power, but also other things!’

He also changes martial arts, including swordsmanship, to his own style.

The elegant and virtuous battles of the nobility taught by the Imperial Knight Academy?

That kind of thing was useless in the war against the undead.

A lethal sword that knocks down the enemy with only one blow!

‘Oh, is this a bit harsh?’

The holy knight who worships the gods is the sword of ‘Death’… … .

no.

I may have lost my comrades because of this weak idea.

Besides, it’s not killing people, it’s the undead and the dead, so what’s it like?

It is the fate of being dragged into the war even after death by the Lich King’s enchantment.

‘Okay, then let’s be mortal instead of deadly!’

that would fit better

anyway!

This time, whether it’s divine power or swordsmanship, he will train according to his own rules.

If you do it right, you can become stronger than you were in your last life.

Thinking so, Carlos laughed involuntarily.

“Uhhh… … Divine power that never dries up… … hehehe… … Mortal sword!”

“Sick… … .”

Tira caressed Carlos’ shoulder with a pitiful look.

Then he, who was immersed in his own world, came out of his thoughts.

“You haven’t forgotten, have you? If we don’t get the money within a week, the sick person will have to vacate too.”

“remember.”

“Whew… … By the way, did you come up with a way to raise money?”

“of course.”

“oh!”

Tira stared at him expectantly.

However, the answer that followed was unexpected.

“Let’s take it.”

“to? Are you stealing it?”

Maybe he’s going to commit a robbery?

or stealing?

Or the pockets of other sick people… … .

I said to Tira, who was surprised.

“My money. I have to get my stolen money back.”

“ah… … That’s what you said. But I think that would be a little difficult.”

“why?”

“Yesterday they are the ‘Hanson gang’. They are very famous walpas in Meirium. Even the police can’t touch Hanson’s gang?”

‘Is there a security guard?’

If that’s true, it can’t be a shameful thing.

People are beaten up in the market in broad daylight, but a police force that doesn’t even peep their noses?

Wouldn’t it be better not to have something like that?

‘They’re bugs that only pay taxes.’

They are the ones that Carlos hates second only to the Lich King and the undead army.

A mob harassing Yangmin!

Rotten bureaucrats colluding with the mob to take away the goods of the common people once again!

Of course, not all bureaucrats are like that.

But just how the wrong few make muddy water.

They have to be slaughtered and thrown into pigpens and fed only grunt porridge for the rest of their lives.

“Is there any connection between the Hanson gang and the city security?”

“and! Isn’t this your first visit to Meirium? How did you know?”

Yes, yes.

Smelly garbage is meant to be matched with garbage that smells like it.

That way, it seems like his rotten self is buried!

Carlos usually dealt with warlocks, the dead, demons, the undead, and summoned creatures of hell, but he also cleaned up human garbage from time to time.

It is also a paladin’s duty to take care of the sun god’s disciples so that they can live a comfortable life.

“Anyway, I think you’d better find another way. There’s nothing good about messing with Hanson’s gang. Actually, bringing Carl here was a risk-taking… … I think it would be better for you to lie quietly until you feel better.”

“I can’t. I have a temper that always repays favors and enemies.”

“Is that so… … .”

Tira looked at me with a very unreliable face.

But Carlos understood Tira.

A homeless person who is skinny because he can’t eat.

There, beaten for a long time, the body became bloody.

Because that kind of person said that he would fight against the gang that had a tight grip on Mayrium’s market and security forces.

It’s natural to not believe it.

however.

‘No questions and answers!’

All that is needed is to show the power of God to those who do not believe in the existence of God.

Carlos got up.
