Ch. 90 - The Price of Betrayal

Looking carefully at the elements around him. Paladin ignored the tense Tony and Kaleqi, and Harvey, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly stopping the bleeding. He had to admit a fact that he didn't want to admit it even in death. The all-seeing eye could not be activated. There were only fifty elements left around him. Because there was no sunlight at the moment and the All Seeing Eye could not be opened, there was no replenishment at all. Wait! Paladin suddenly had an understanding. He suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, the bright moon hanging high in the sky in the darkness. "Yes, there is no sunlight, it's late at night!" Paladin muttered. But did not rejoice over finding the truth, but fell into a more profound worry.

That's right, without sunlight at night, the all-seeing eye could not be activated at all. And the elements used could not be replenished in any way! In other words, the darkness of the late night is when Paladin is most vulnerable, most powerless! Darkness is his weakness! "Ahh" Paladin sighed in dismay. Lowering his head, he muttered, "It's ironic that the power I gained by dark means and ways is afraid of the darkness." "Paladin, are you okay?"

Suddenly regaining consciousness, Paladin looked at the worried Tony and Kaleqi. Suddenly there was an indescribable gap between them. "Yes, they simply can't heed my feelings, can't appreciate the power I experience. Just as the tiny ants do not understand the soaring of the birds."

Paladin shook his head in annoyance and looked at Tony and said, "You were just fine. Betrayal followed by betrayal." Tony immediately shivered, but immediately explained, "My father once taught me that giving bread to the scribbler is always more affordable than a wreath around the neck of a nobleman." Paladin immediately understood that this was because Tony thought that his strength was far inferior to that of Bishop Andrew. But what he got by fawning on the bishop's words was far less than what he, who is now down and out, got. This is the truth of giving charcoal in a timely manner.

"Well, it's okay. I don't blame you either. Now go back and pretend to go back as if nothing had happened." Saying so, Paladin suddenly asked Kaleqi, who was kneeling on the ground wiping Harvey's injuries, "Does this guy have a family?" Kaleqi nodded subconsciously: "Yes, in Edley. Beautiful wife and three children. Wait, Paladin, what do you want!" The reactive Kaleqi immediately asked a follow-up question. His somewhat twisted expression vaguely guessed the young priest's thoughts.

"To cut off the roots." Paladin waved his hand very plainly and said so. Just as easy as talking to someone about afternoon tea. But the meaning of the words made Kaleqi, Tony, and even Harvey, who was deathly pale from severe pain! "Paladin, I was wrong, I'll do whatever you want! I should not have been hostile to you, should not have told the Count that you should accompany the army, and should not have joined forces with Bishop Andrew to deal with you!"

At this moment, Harvey did not care about the severe pain in the arm, dead white face full of pleading in the mud ground while moving over. Humbly kissed Paladin's shoes, with a pleading gaze said: "Please, don't kill my family. Everything is my fault, they are all innocent, all innocent ah!"

But as soon as the words fell, Paladin suddenly stepped on Harvey's face with a blank expression, and rubbed the soil from the sole of the shoe vigorously on his head. Seeing Harvey's humiliating expression, he couldn't help chuckling and said, "I won't do anything to women and children. Who do you think I am?" Hearing this, Harvey's desperate eyes suddenly showed some hope , but Kaleqi, who knew Paladin very well, turned even paler.

He still remembered the fact that Paladin brought Nurba's Prad family mother and son into his church and they never came out. But he did not dare, nor did he want to plead for mercy for this once old friend. Not only because this friend betrayed him, but more importantly, Harvey's doings will ruin his good life today! Thinking of this, Kaleqi's face returned to calmness. Kaleqi himself did not expect that he was completely different from the man he was a few months ago.

At this time, Paladin suddenly moved his feet away in disgust, and said with a sense of revenge: "Edley has many places. They are all places for grown men to have fun. I believe a mercenary wife whose legs have been cut off must be very happy. Loved by those ruffians." "Paladin! I'll bite you to death!" In an instant, Harvey's eyes were red, and his mind was filled with rage and hatred. Opening his mouth violently, he was about to bite off a piece of meat from Paladin's leg. But he was kicked by Paladin with a very disdainful kick. Five or six teeth flowed out of the corner of the mouth with blood. Harvey rolled to the ground screaming in pain.

"However, I am also very merciful." Paladin's cold face had not the slightest hint of mercy. "I will reunite you with your three children as soon as possible." "Huh?" Harvey snapped out of the excruciating pain, but he didn't believe this beast could be that kind. Sure enough, only to see Paladin's eyes glaze over and suddenly shout softly, "Aberleigh!"

Only to hear a boom overhead, an incomparably huge two-meter-tall giant descended from the sky, landing in front of Paladin, kneeling on the ground, like a hound dog showing the hideous teeth in his mouth. Waiting for the master's command. Paladin naturally knew that Aberleigh had been following over. Fortunately, he kept in mind the order that he could not be seen by others to hide. Saved a lot of effort. Obviously, this horrible monster made Kaleqi and Tony startled. But after seeing Paladin was very subdued, only to find out that this is Paladin's person. But it added a veil of secrecy to this Paladin, who was mysterious in his methods and abilities.

"Aberleigh, all the bodies here you have to clean up. I don't care if you can eat it or not. But you have to remember this guy with the broken hand." Seeing Paladin pointing in front of him and seeing someone kneeling on the ground is taller than Paladin Aberleigh called the shots. But he suddenly pointed at Harvey and said with a smirk: "This guy, you must not let even a hair or a fingernail stay. When it's done, you will have your favorite child to eat!" After that, looking at the magnified fear in Harvey's eyes, a grim smile finally appeared on his face: "And there are three!" "No!"

Harvey let out a miserable scream, but Aberleigh was excited. All of a sudden He grabbed Harvey's head and feet with both hands and lifted them up. Tearing with all his might! Clatter, blood and internal organs immediately poured out from the rag-like torn Harvey's body. Aberleigh immediately opened his huge mouth and waited, just like when eating peanuts, he raised his head and let the peanuts fall into his mouth.

Kaleqi, whose face turned pale with fright, turned his head away, not wanting to see the cruel scene of his friend being torn apart like a doll by this monster. Because the young Tony he saw had already turned around and lay on the tree trunk, vomiting in extreme pain. Seeing that Kaleqi came to the indifferent Paladin, his hands and feet would tremble when he approached this young man for the first time: "Pa, Paladin. What is this thing?" "Huh?"

Paladin with a reproachful twist of the head to look at this Kaleqi: "First of all, pay attention to your wording. I am Auxiliary Bishop Paladin, and furthermore, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't know what you don't want to know." "Hm..." Kaleqi immediately hummed, he can't stand the kind of chilling aura coiled around this Paladin and immediately moved away from his body. At this time, only Paladin expressionlessly looked at Aberleigh having his meal, not forgetting to point out to Aberleigh from time to time that the corpses of the assassins he strangled would also be eaten up.
