PS2. This chapter is 4500 words, isn’t it very powerful?

This is a deserted manor, the scene of prosperity in the past has disappeared, and the ruins tell the richness of the past and the desolation of the present. Looking around, the rich fields have been covered with ice and snow and withered weeds. Most of the low houses and granaries have collapsed, and the fences and walls are full of traces of breakage and damage.

There are ghouls and beasts, as well as terrible undead wandering in the wilderness. This is the case in this terrible world. If the dead are not buried in the right way, they will turn into terrible undead at night, wandering in the wild forever with their longing for life and their hatred for the living.

It was still daylight, and a huge sound broke out in the manor.

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

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

"I know!" the calm female voice responded, then she shouted softly: "Frost technique!"

"Beautiful, look at me now! Holy Judgment!" A white light flashed, and the beast roared in pain.

This finally gives people a glimpse of the whole picture.

On the deserted and dilapidated fields, three humans were fighting around a huge beast.

The human headed was a set of full-body plate armor, holding a large square shield in one hand and a standard one-handed sword in the other. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, sweat swept across his forehead, and the white light belonging to the God of Justice's divine power kept flashing. He knocked his shield with his sword: "Come on! Beast!!!"

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!" The sound of gold and iron fighting made the monster extremely irritated.

The tall white wolf knight wearing chain mail and breastplate took the opportunity to attack the monster's right wing. Each of his attacks caused huge damage to the monster.

"Lian, be careful of its stings!" A little further away, the sorcerer wearing a black leather suit and holding a staff moved while chanting a spell in his mouth.

The stones on the ground and the collapsed ruins began to be combined with the magic power of the sorcerer, and gradually formed a golem of two meters tall and composed of stones and wood. The surface of the golem was covered with thick frost, and under the command of the sorcerer, he rushed towards the monster.

The full 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 vicious face like a jackal, a fiery red mane, huge fangs and wings covered with spikes. The most special thing about it is that its tail is very long and a barb at the end.

This monster is the scorpion tail lion that makes people scared to talk about it!

Even among the chaos creations, the Scorpion-tailed Lion is extremely fierce. Because of its inherent stubborn fighting, the Scorpion-tailed Lion will fight against any enemy for its own territory. Faced with giant eagles, griffins, and even dragon emperors who have entered the territory, the Scorpion-tailed Lion responds the same: they will roar and rush towards the enemy, commit bloody and brutal battles, and live to the death until they die. If the enemy is not a body size and strength far exceeding their own, the winner of such a fight is often the Scorpion-tailed Lion. They will stand on the cliff and roar, indicating their strength and determination.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the Scorpion-tailed Lion to be so difficult!" Paladin Alfred moved sideways carefully, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The Scorpion-tailed Lion is so agile that it can always easily dodge the Paladin's attacks and immediately fight back.

The profession characteristics of the Paladin are slow movements, low attack ability, and good defense. Facing the attack of the Scorpion-tailed Lion, Alfred always has a situation where he cannot use his strength.

Because the beast's tail was so annoying, the stinger soaked in green venom always swayed next to his head, constantly looking for opportunities to pierce his helmet. When Alfred's helmet was deformed and flew out, the paladin had to carefully retreat to the second line.

The poison of the scorpion tail lion is a very poison that is blood-sealed. Poisoning by ordinary people basically means death.

"Afu, do you want to take it down?" Ryan shouted from the side. He carefully avoided the piercing sting. Seeing the scorpion tail lion spreading its wings and trying to take off, Ryan directly made it fall back to the ground with a heavy hammer: "Don't force it, you have reached the conditions for a glorious retreat!"

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

In response to paladins who often like to be passionate and die overestimate their abilities for justice, the God of Justice formulated this doctrine. When the enemy's strength is three times or more than three times that of our strength, retreating is not a shame, but a glorious thing, which is called glorious retreat.

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

"No, my holy shield technique today is not useful yet!" Alfred shouted.

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

Together with Saint Shield and Saint Light, it is known as one of the two great guardians of Paladins. Alfred, who has advanced from Paladin to the Temple Guardian, can use Saint Shield once a day. The divine power from the God of Justice will bless him to continue fighting in a state of basically invincible for a short period of time (about six seconds).

Although the Holy Shield Technique is not invincible in the absolute sense, it is enough to deal with the Scorpion-tailed Lion.

The scorpion tail lion rushed towards Ryan, splashing a lot of dust and snowflakes. Ryan rolled away easily, then rushed forward fiercely, hitting the scorpion tail lion's front paws, and then immediately avoided the scorpion tail lion's stings pursuit.

"Ice Gun Technique!" Theresa immediately condensed a long ice gun in the air. The ice gun cut through the sky and roared directly towards the scorpion tail lion.

The scorpion-tailed lion suddenly flew away, and took this opportunity to hold it in full arms.

Seeing this, Ryan began to accumulate strength.

The scorpion tail lion struggled with all its strength. Its sharp teeth and claws quickly shattered the golem that Teresa temporarily summoned, and its slender tail was swung wildly. Each blow of the stinger at the end of the tail could create a hole on the surface of the golem and gravel splashed everywhere.

Soon, the connection between the golem's arm and head appeared to be damaged, and the scorpion tail lion was about to be unable to control it.

But that's enough.

"Frost New Star!!" The sorcerer shouted, and a large stream of frost and fog suddenly spurted out from the inside of the ice golem. The scorpion tail lion was so cold that it screamed in pain. It tried hard to break free from the control of the golem, but under the control of the sorcerer, the golem held the scorpion tail lion tightly and refused to let go.

Gradually, the body of the Scorpion-tailed Lion became stiff, and the golem also completely turned back into stones and wood in the Scorpion-tailed Lion's attack at all costs.

"Divine Shock!" A white glow appeared on the paladin's sword. Alfred fought hard, and his sword left a huge wound on the back of the Scorpion-tailed Lion.

Immediately afterwards, Ryan's attack, the warhammer in the White Wolf Knight's hand burst out with a golden light, slamming the head of the Scorpion-tailed Lion.

Skull-breaking strike!

"Aoao!" At the critical moment, the scorpion tail lion who felt extremely dangerous finally barely got rid of the frozen state. It twisted its head and was hit hard by Ryan on its shoulders. With the help of the powerful force of the White Wolf Knight, it rushed towards Alfred. The sting on its tail passed high above its head and pierced directly at the paladin's sky spirit cover.

The old power has gone, the new power has not yet been born, and the paladin itself is not a profession with agility, Alfred immediately activates the magic.

A golden ring wrapped Alfred in it, and countless runes flashing with golden light rotated around the paladin. The fierce attack of the scorpion-tailed lion was completely blocked by these mysterious energy. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break through the golden protective energy outside.

With the protection of the Saint Shield, Alfred immediately used a desperate fight. Every move of the Paladin was fighting with his life. He didn't mind that his moves were wide open everywhere. Every time his sword swung, it left a deep bone-skinned wound on the body of the Scorpion-tailed Lion. Soon, the Scorpion-tailed Lion slowed down due to excessive blood loss and excessive injury and entered a state of dying.

Ryan smiled secretly in his heart.

Saint Shield is such a rogue. When the Saint Shield is turned on, the paladin will use this style of play to maximize the value of Saint Shield. Therefore, many people jokingly call the paladin in this state "Long Live Charge".

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

Teresa arrived, and the sorcerer stood outside the maximum attack range of the Scorpion-tailed Lion and stretched out his staff to release the terrible frost. The monster was slowly frozen into a whole ice sculpture. Alfred first cut off the Scorpion-tailed Lion's head with a sword, and Ryan also arrived. The psionic blade waved, and the Scorpion-tailed Lion's tail also separated from its body.

"Do it! We keep the body of this thing very intact, and Ms. Dietlind should pay us a good price!" Ryan smiled.

"It's time to finish work!" The golden ring surrounding Alfred also disappeared. The paladin smiled and put his sword behind him, stretched his waist: "I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect you to have become so strong Ryan."

"How can you be your friend if you are not strong?" Ryan complained casually, then put away the warhammer: "You have become very strong, Ah Fu."

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

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

The sorcerer standing beside him rolled his eyes, thinking that these two men were not disgusting to brag about each other?

"Ahem, okay, we have completed the killing. The Scorpion-tailed Lion has fallen. It's getting late. Go back early. Ryan Al...Fred?" Theresa tried to look more kind.

Although the sorcerer did not like paladins, Alfred was Ryan's friend and childhood playmate, and she felt that it was necessary to make a false statement.

"Speaking of this, Ryan, you're really surprised me if you're going to ask me to do this." Alfred sat directly on the ground, panting: "It's good... it's good, I'm a wish."

"A wish?"

"Well, actually, when we entered the city, this Ms. Nora had already stopped us in the street once." Alfred smiled self-deprecatingly: "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 that we can't do it. You know, Ryan, the Scorpion-tailed Lion is not the kind of ghoul or goblin we can deal with just a little bit of it. We can't risk our lives to do something that is not worth it."

"The children surrounded us and begged us to help Ms. Nora, but we couldn't do anything. This feeling was really uncomfortable." Alfred said in a dim mood: "Occasionally, I think, as paladins, shouldn't we help the weak, and shouldn't we help the weak? But I've encountered such a thing several times."

"Ha, Ah Fu, you have to know that manpower is limited and precious." Ryan sat down when he saw this. The man looked at the dim sky and sighed: "If justice does not require a price, then is justice itself worthless? If you do not respect order, then does the existence of order still have meaning?"

"I know these too, and if you don't ask about the price, the power of the paladin is easily exploited by those who are interested..." Alfred quickly recovered. He stood up and wiped the snow and mud under him, and restored his cheerful expression: "It's almost done, let's go back!"

"You guys go back first! I have something to deal with." But Ryan said that he has something to do: "It's my personal business, so don't participate."

"Personal matter? What do you have to do at night in this abandoned manor?" Theresa felt very confused. Her beautiful face was full of strangeness: "And why should you be alone? Didn't we agree to face it together?"

"This is different. This is my personal matter. I need some private space, right?" Ryan shook his head, obviously not wanting the two of them to continue to participate.

"you……"

"Okay OK, Ms. Trovik, since Ryan doesn't want us to participate, let's go back first!" Alfred came out to relieve the scene, and the paladin's words gave the sorcerer a step. Teresa looked at Ryan with a little unwillingness, and exclaimed with a soft lips: "Then will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"No." Ryan shook his head and walked towards the depths of the manor. The sorcerer helplessly used the space ring to put away the scorpion tail lion's body, and returned to Miyodenhaven with the paladin.

The interior of the manor was already very dilapidated. It can be seen that after the manor was abandoned, few thieves or scavengers were visiting him. Perhaps he was also intimidated by the Scorpion-tailed Lion. Ryan walked through an uphill path and headed towards the collapsed manor manor.

This kind of manor is very common in Nord. A typical manor has a large house or castle surrounded by fields, farmhouses, pastures and woodlands. In most cases, the manor can be self-sufficient. Some remaining daily necessities can be traded with other manors to complement each other. Generally, there are ten or more tenants in a manor to provide the life and production of the manor.

The tenants depend on the situation. Some tenants will have more share and partial property rights, while others are no different from serfs. They not only need to pay 70% or 80% of the harvest, but also have to be responsible for arranging and taking care of the life and life of the owner of the manor.

Charlemagne was a tenant. When he was a child, the founder of the human empire let go of cattle, planted land, chopped firewood, and forked dung. The founder of the great human empire was not ashamed, but was deeply proud. The story of the tenant to the emperor deeply inspired generations of poor peasant boys to bravely embark on the road of adventure.

However, the big house that appeared in front of Ryan was seriously damaged. The doors and walls of the big house had various large holes, and the roof collapsed completely. You can vaguely see the smashed furniture and floors inside the second floor, and the snow also fell into the interior of the big house.

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

In fact, as long as the monsters are cleaned up and the 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. It is not difficult to recruit some tenants. As long as they can eat enough and not be frozen to death.
