Chapter 237: It’s better to deliver directly to your door
"Aven, are you sure this is okay?"
Xiling, who was following beside Ivan, looked at the building in front of her with a little uneasiness.
On both sides of the gate engraved with a scale and a war hammer stood a row of serious paladins, their armor shining in the sun.
Annie, who is also a paladin, took the trembling Semi to the front to prevent the opponent from suddenly attacking and arresting them.
This is how Sammy was beaten black and blue before.
You can still see the twitching corners of this middle-aged halfling's mouth.
"Sammy, fear is shameful for a warrior."
"Oh, Xiao Yani, I'm not afraid of those tin cans across the street...
I was afraid that after I got hurt, Mr. Ivan would cast a few more healing spells on me..."
Looking at Sami speechlessly, then looking at Ivan speechlessly, Annie turned her attention back to the entrance of the Temple of Tyr in front of her.
The little halfling girl was also very unsure.
Whether it was Sami, who had just had a conflict, or Ivan, who had a somewhat special reputation, they could easily become targets of attack by the Tyr Paladin.
The little halfling did not support at all someone like Alvin coming to him so openly.
However, Annie still followed. She wanted to rely on her negotiation skills as a paladin to ease the pressure on both sides before the other side rushed over.
"Sir Irving Norlihuys."
A human male dressed as a priest but without armor and wearing a white robe walked out of the gate. When he saw Ivan and his group, he came up to them and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Servant of the God of Justice, High Priest Niss greets you. Archbishop Nordman has been waiting for you for a while."
After saying that, he signaled the paladin outside to open the door and made a gesture of invitation to Ivan and the others.
"As Mr. Ivan thought, the Tyr Church will be very friendly to us..."
Sami stared in amazement at the paladin who opened the temple door for him. He had punched this guy the day before yesterday.
"That's right! Our Lord Ivan is a remarkable person!"
Annie, who was just nervously preparing to use the maid paladin negotiation method, now instantly turned into a little fan girl who believed in Ivan completely.
The temple of the Church of Tyr is where the believers of the God of Justice live their daily lives in Radiant City.
It is equivalent to the druid’s station in the Gray Forest.
Putting aside the luxurious decoration style, the biggest difference from the Druid Residence is the uniqueness of faith.
Only the most devout clergy can live in this temple.
And the names of these people will automatically appear on the engraved stone pillar in the center of the Temple of Tyr.
No matter whether you are a legendary paladin or a great priest, what if you are not devout in your faith and your name is not on the wall?
Sorry, there is a hotel on the right.
The druid settlement is different. There are druids everywhere with various beliefs.
For example, Bolshiling and others are druids who believe in Mielikki, which is not the mainstream belief of druids.
Most druids would choose to believe in people like Todd who believe in Obaeus, or Arya who follow the path of the ancient god Ehlonna (the god of forests and beasts).
This does not even include the beautiful elves Tyrian who would rather die than believe in gods anymore, and the anti-Hexagonal Knights who have just joined and believe in Lovita.
In short, although in the eyes of most creatures, the temples in the city and the druids' churches are the same;
But the druid settlement is more like a small forest town with freedom of religion.
After passing through the lobby full of murals and statues, Alvin and his party were invited into a side hall specially used for receptions.
A heavy, long table covered with carvings was placed in the middle of the side hall.
Both sides of the long table are padded with feather cushions with red background and gold edges, which feel much more comfortable than fur cushions.
The long table was filled with a dazzling array of gold and silver ornaments and candlesticks, which illuminated the entire side hall so much that not even a shadow could be seen.
An old man with a white beard had been sitting here for a long time, smiling at Ivan who had just entered the room.
"Long time no see, Sir Awen."
The voice did not sound old, and had a bit of a joking tone, which was completely inconsistent with the old man's serious and upright expression.
“You…you?
You are the--the--that!"
Ivan, who is usually eloquent, started stuttering for the first time.
He is very familiar with this person.
When he first came through, the one who read out the verdict to him and banged the nanmu hammer was the old man in front of him.
"Tyr's servant, the High Judge of Radiant City, Nordman Radiance, greets the patron of the unknown gods, the druid Awen."
"No...how..."
"Sir Ivan, I am the highest official in charge of the justice system in Brilliant City. I have dealt severely with exiles who blasphemed the gods..."
The white-bearded old man looked at Ivan with a smile. Although Nordman's real age was not as old as he looked, he was much older than the young Ivan.
“Now that the Church of Lady Joy has dropped the charges against you, the person before me is a patron of the natural gods.
Tyr, the god of justice, has always respected and admired the gods who protect nature. "
Ivan, who was stunned for a moment just because of the "old acquaintance", roughly guessed the current situation.
He sat opposite the old man in a very casual manner, and his frivolous actions scared Annie who was following behind him.
Now the attitude of the Temple of Tyr has confirmed Alvin's guess last night.
But his nerves couldn't relax at all.
“Since everyone is already here, let’s open the skylight and chat.
Where are the Ruiwo people? "
"Open the skylight?"
The old man raised his head in confusion, looking at the dome of the side hall, which was painted with a scene of Tyr judging the demons of the abyss.
“I’m sorry, Sir Awen, but we don’t have a skylight in our temple.
As for Sir River, he is now very safe.
Originally, the appearance of the Paladin of Tyr was just to rescue Sir River.
But now that you have come, I think we can have a good chat.
Sir River's praise for Lord Ivan makes me particularly curious about you..."
Ivan looked at the opposite side silently, and his half-smile made him think that he looked very social.
This is an expression management skill that Alvin has practiced for several years during his time on Blue Star.
"Your Excellency the Chief Judge, I am just an ordinary beginner druid. What is so special about me that could arouse your interest?"
As he spoke, he made his half-smile more obvious. In Ivan's memory, this trick could increase his negotiation advantage.
But in this room, except for Xiling wearing a hood and Sami with a dull expression, everyone else is a master of expression management.
Especially the old fox with white beard on the opposite side.
The old man also looked at Ivan with a half-smile, which made Xiao Nencong feel more stressed.
“Sir Awen, you are too modest.
Being able to kill the half-dragon army that almost wiped out the northern dwarves with just a few pieces of refined gold and rare steel is not something that a beginner druid can do..."
