Chapter 35: Persistence

Something is indeed wrong.

Murphy had actually felt something was wrong in his heart, because it was too quiet here.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a large town to be occupied by demons. Besides, the painted sacrifice arrays on the ground are not like those made a long time ago. There is still a residual chaotic energy aura on the magic array. Obviously, the demons used these sacrifice arrays to hold evil rituals not long ago! But now they are gone, as if they have disappeared out of thin air!

From the moment I entered this town, there was always an inexplicable pressure in Murphy's perception, as if there was a dangerous trap waiting for them.

This has to make him be careful!

"Asking everyone to get closer, we let them go first!" Murphy immediately said in a deep voice.

The task of taking down this large town belongs to several other large mercenary groups. Murphy and others simply borrowed the passage from here, and there is no need to fight for other people's tasks. Moreover, in order to take down this large town, the Mercenary City also gave the large mercenary groups a lot of support. This kind of thing that has benefited naturally requires them to work harder.

Murphy's goal is a ruined town in the southwest, and there is no need to consume his own strength here.

It seems that there are many people who plan to be the same as Murphy.

After realizing that there was something strange in this town, many mercenary groups began to wait on the spot, and their target was also not the town. The town was at a turning point, and if you want to go to other places, you would have to pass here, so most of them passed by like Murphy. The territory of Zenda is very large. The more you regain the remote area, the higher the possibility of encountering demons on the road, and their strength cannot be consumed from the beginning!

Moreover, in order to capture this town, the Mercenary City not only summoned several large mercenary groups, but also gave them a lot of excellent equipment to support them. The task they accepted was to capture this town and then hold on to it. In order to ensure that there was no accident, the Mercenary City even mobilized a heavy infantry regiment to assist them in defense.

Therefore, the first battle to win this town is their main task.

---------------------------------------------

After giving the order, Murphy couldn't help but look at the old Templar beside him.

That day, recruiting in the square, and when he walked to Murphy, even Murphy couldn't help but be stunned. Because he never knew that the old-fashioned and proud Templar would choose to be a mercenary.

Murphy still remembers how he looked when he first saw him.

He was wearing worn-out armor, his white-washed battle robe was covered with dust and stains, and a very ordinary cross sword. The scabbard was hand-sewn with animal skins, which was very crude! He was wearing worn flat boots and leggings. Although his body was still strong, his back was slightly hunched over when he was already in the decline. He looked like a twilight warrior, very ordinary, but the emblem on his chest still made people know that this was a down and aging templar!

When he appeared, many people put down their plans and looked over.

The Mercenary City has not had a templar warrior for more than ten years. This name seems to have gradually disappeared into people's memories because of the decline of the holy light. This moment seems to have awakened people's memories again. Many people respectfully lowered their heads, not only out of respect for the aging templar, but also for the glory and tragic remembrance of the once glory and tragic.

The aging Templar asked Murphy if he would hire him, his voice was a little hoarse, but his attitude was gentle, neither humble nor arrogant.

As long as Murphy is willing to pay him a hundred gold coins, he is willing to work for Murphy!

This price is ten times more than recruiting a first-class mercenary, but it seems very worthwhile to recruit an aged templar of a young age. After hearing this striking price, many mercenaries showed dissatisfaction and contempt. Obviously, they regarded the aged templar as a rogue who used the name of the sacred scoundrel to deceive.

One hundred gold coins are enough for an ordinary person to live a stable life!

However, Murphy still paid him on the spot without hesitation, because he believed in his own vision. Since the aging Templar in front of him had asked for so much reward, he must have equal value!

The power of the Holy Light has declined, and there are no more Templars in this world.

Since he still sticks to this path, Murphy believes in him.

Because of faith!

The value of faith is definitely not something that can be measured by these just a hundred gold coins!

……………………

The aging Templar reached out to take the bag of gold coins, with no joy or sorrow in his eyes, just nodding at Murphy, then turned around and left.

Murphy didn't stop him.

But the others looked like they were watching the show. They were about to see Murphy discovering that he had been deceived and the person had slipped away quietly, and his angry expression was.

But the facts are not as they thought.

The aging Templar bought the food of a full ten carriage with a bag of gold coins, and then sent the food to the slums of the Mercenary City and scattered it to the poor and poor people. He himself, with a piece of hard and dry black bread and a bag of clear water, returned to Murphy. He sat cross-legged behind Murphy, sat on the ground, and chewed slowly with the black bread bite and bite.

He is already very old.

The hard and strong black bread was not so easy for him to swallow. He needed to break it bit by bit and swallow it with clear water.

His expression was still so joyless and sad.

……………………

This scene shocked many people.

Even Murphy himself was shocked by him!

No one knew his name, and he never mentioned it. He was silent and followed Murphy, who accepted Murphy's employment until the end of this action to regain Zenda.

Murphy saw a lot in this aging Templar.

He also began to understand why this plane was so broken under the invasion of the abyss and could continue to persevere.

Because they, like them, still exist!

Stick to it!

Stick to an ancient word, it is called - faith!!!
