But no matter what he thinks or thinks, he may be able to win with a partial sneak attack or carelessness, but... wouldn't he be able to win in this situation even if he is facing all the elite armed mages?

No matter how he thought about it, no matter how he imagined the way to fight, Paladin could not come to a conclusion——

A warrior who has been trained for three months can kill an elemental gunner who has been trained for three months in a battle of the same scale.

This alone was enough to destroy this old man's self-confidence and make all his past glory come to naught.

"Have times...really changed...?"

"Mr. Guangzhongguang, how are you feeling today?"

Just when the old man felt sad for his old age, a voice appeared from behind him.

Hearing this voice, Paladin leaned on his crutch and turned his head tremblingly. At a glance, he saw the man standing at the gate, carrying the lights in the guild. His whole person was shrouded in shadow, but he could still let

Everyone can see the smiling woman at a glance.

Paladin wanted to stand up, but his physical weakness made it impossible for him to support his body for a while. Just when he wanted to stand up, his hands and feet were shaking unsteadily.

Seeing this, Duck, who was standing behind Ariel, quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Regarding what this "traitor" did, Paladin, of course, wanted to immediately reach out and throw him away! But he was so weak now that he didn't even have the strength to throw away this "traitor"'s hand.

Of course, Duck was aware of Paladin's body movements, but he didn't think too much or say anything. He just silently helped him up and placed him on the edge of the bed next to him. At the same time, he took care of him to lie down and cover him on the bed.

Quilt.

Ariel watched all this silently, and looked at Paladin's eyes with a look of self-irritation and helpless pain. After Darhk finished all this, Ariel calmed down.

He walked forward slowly and said with a smile——

"It's late tonight. If you want to go out for a walk, you can ask Dak to accompany you during the day tomorrow. Someone is getting married in our city tonight, and these fireworks were set off when they got married. Are they beautiful?

"

Ariel smiled slightly, and the expression on her face seemed more relaxed and comfortable.

Paladin puffed out his cheeks and seemed to be trying hard to show his mental state. But no matter what he did, he just looked like a poor old man.

"I... don't want to see you... cough cough... cough cough cough...!"

Duck quickly stepped forward and patted Paladin's chest gently, but Paladin reached out and opened it.

Ariel still clasped her hands behind her back, stood on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Mr. Guang Zhongguang, during this period of time, I have said what I should say and done what I should do. For you, the prisoner

, I feel that I have done my best. You have a single room that other prisoners do not enjoy, and you can rest and recuperate here without being disturbed by others. This kind of treatment should be very good, right?"

Paladin's cheeks kept puffing up and holding it down. It was like there were two blowers inside that were constantly expanding and contracting. He glared at Ariel hard, and after his breath relaxed for a while, he said——

"I... would rather... you kill me immediately...!"

The smile on Ariel's face didn't change at all, it was still so indifferent. After Paladin started coughing again, Ariel nodded slightly and said -

"So now, I feel that there is nothing left to say. Since I can let Sweet Cheese Blue leave Pelican City safely, why can't I let you leave? From now on, you are free.

You can pack your things and leave when you feel your physical condition allows it. Dake, you should also help your father pack some clothes and other things, and pack some food by the way to eat on the way."

If Ariel treats Paladin with knight-like words, or treats a prisoner like a normal conqueror, with extreme humiliation and humiliation, then it might not be a happy thing for Paladin.

Because in this case, it means that Ariel is using "dignity" to treat the cavalry leader. No matter whether this use is "respect" or "derogation".

But now, Ariel's approach is to not take Paladin's most important personal honor seriously, just like evicting a tenant who has rented for a long time but has not paid. This attitude may be what makes him the most

Probably the most annoying place.

But even so, Paladin knew that he had no right to argue at all.

As a loser, an old man who has even had all his confidence destroyed, a relic of the past era, in front of the representative of this new era, perhaps he really does not have any dignity...

Paladin, who was lying on the bed, was breathing heavily. He stared at Ariel, looking at this ordinary woman who should be powerless, but now she could speak to him, the leader of the knights, in such a plain tone. How he felt.

It really needs to be adjusted well.

After a long time, Paladin finally calmed down his emotions. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and finally said: "Ariel...Garcia...Count..."

Ariel shrugged and smiled: "Call me Ariel or Garcia. As for the title Earl... I don't really care."

"You should care...this is your...honor...! It represents your...noble...status...!"

Paladin held his breath, and his breathing became uncomfortable again.

Ariel curled her lips and could only acquiesce.

"Earl... during this time... I just want to... confirm one thing..."

The cavalry leader turned his head, looked at Ariel, and said——

"Have times...really changed...?"

Faced with the old man's question, which was like the last struggle before death, Ariel thought for a moment and said: "I don't know if times have changed here, but I know that people who want to rely on personal force to suppress ordinary people...

The era of human beings should be gone forever.”

Finally, from Ariel's mouth, he got the answer that Paladin least wanted to hear.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes silently. After a long time, a voice as thin as a gossamer came out of his mouth——

"Count Ariel Garcia... I hope that one day, I can see you build a... new empire... At that time... I will cheer... and watch you become the group you hate most now.

people……"

For Ariel, this sentence is undoubtedly the most vicious curse.

Of course she understood what kind of mood the former cavalry commander in front of her was having to say such a thing. It can only be said that the old stubborn is still the same old stubborn. Even if he understands that a new era has arrived, he still can't forget the previous system.

old stubbornness.

After Duck waited on Paladin and went to bed, she turned and left the room, went downstairs, and came to the hall. She frowned when she looked at the work items posted on the bulletin board next to her.

Curse yourself to become the group of people you hate the most? Haha, it would be really interesting if this curse could really come true. The group of people you hate the most are not scum with no fighting ability.

After sitting down in the rest area, Duck also walked down from the second floor. But just at this time, the door of the guild opened, and then, a terrifying giant bear squeezed in from the door, taking heavy steps,

Slowly came to the center of the hall.

That was the Violent Bear. This bear was now staring closely at Ariel. After seeing that there was no one next to her, it tentatively took steps towards her.

But soon, the bear became aware of the sleeping cat lying on the counter next to him. His steps that seemed very solid at first began to look cautious. The huge fur ball was now slightly shrunken, as if its body was smaller because of this.

After a while, he started to move towards the training ground behind the guild.

After the Horror Bear walked in, the woman who had promised to challenge the entire Mermaid Song naturally followed her in.

Compared to before, Sweet Wine Cheese's current mental state seems to be very good.

The swelling on her face caused by the disease has now disappeared. Although her face cannot be said to be very beautiful, it at least looks energetic.

The beads of sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose meant that she had returned from running outside, and the slight sense of disharmony when she was walking now proved that even during the run just now, she had

The shackles are still bound and have not been lifted.

Being able to carry out such a wide range of movements while restrained seems to have made her adaptable to the shackles on her body stronger.

Sweet Cheese glanced at Ariel. Although she had just returned from running, she still had a slightly disdainful look in her eyes and huffed at Ariel.

Then, she picked up a piece of bread from the table, put it in her mouth, ate it, and headed to the training room to continue training.

Seeing the smug expression on Sweet Cheese's face, Ariel frowned slightly. She put down the work report in her hand and said: " Sweet Cheese, there is something I want to explain to you."

Sweet Cheese finished the bread in two bites, picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat. He stared at Ariel again with a victor's eyes and said: "What are you doing? Want to surrender? Haha, don't think I don't know.
Chapter completed!
