Tron followed the old man Kipling to get the bait potion. Wumama and Ramsden quickly went to prepare their luggage, one back to the room and the other went to the storage room. Only Feiqi stayed alone, and he had to wait for Tron to come back and then go and choose weapons together.
"What weapon is good to use?" Feiqi sat half-lying on the chair, looking at the ceiling, and his thoughts flew. "I already have a soul harvesting dagger that can be summoned at any time. It can absorb souls directly, so there should be no more threatening things, right? In this case, I don't need to consider damage, but choose from the characteristics and weight of the weapon."
"Long-range is safer than melee combat. I don't know how to use the bow. I must bring a crossbow. Heavy crossbow is better than light crossbow. Anyway, I'm most likely to have only one chance to shoot." Feiqi whispered to himself, not paying attention to the figure slowly approaching. "If the griffin pounces on it, it's better. The sword and gun look longer and more powerful, but it has the word "gun". Since ancient times, the spearmen are lucky..."
"Why are the raiders lucky?"
The sudden sound almost made Fitch roll out of the chair. He kept his balance in a hurry, and then rolled his eyes at the uninvited elf paladin: "Scare me! Are you a paladin or a thief, why are you walking without sound?"
"Because there are soft pads under my boots, so I won't be tired when walking. The sound becomes smaller and it's just an extra effect." The elf tilted his head slightly and continued to ask: "Didn't you say why you're lucky?"
"It's just a superstitious statement that cannot stand the test of truth. Or you can think I'm making up a random reason for not wanting to carry a spear."
"Oh, I understand this explanation. But there is one more thing I want to ask you." The elf scratched his head: "Why do you come to the goddess' fortress as a devil?"
Feiqi's heart skipped a beat. Did she see it? Didn't the road demon guarantee that no one could find it? The devil lied to me?
No, this is a bit illogical. If this female paladin confirmed that I was a devil, she should have drawn out her sword to destroy me now. Moreover, if she had any doubts, she would not come alone. The Paladin team outside, especially Gresham, would be very happy to cut off the head of me, the "devil". So, is she cheating me?
Feiqi knew that the priests and paladins in this world had the ability to use divine art to distinguish lies, so he had to talk in a profound (ambiguous) way of speaking: "I don't deny that I had misbehaving in the past, and that's why I came here. Here, I would say goodbye to the past and serve the goddess with my own strength. Isn't this the purpose of Ice Peak Fortress?"
"Well, it makes sense." The Elf Paladin nodded vigorously: "The devil's starting point is always to harm others and benefit themselves, so it is never a good choice to cooperate with the devil. It is very wise to be able to see this clearly and then get rid of the devil."
Feiqi frowned: "I have a question: How do you distinguish the devil? Can you see the past?"
"I have talent in this area. After special training and the blessing of the goddess, I am very strong. I can smell the smell of a devil on you, but it is very light, very old, and not very strong. There are three possibilities: either you have encountered a devil recently, or you have been in contact with a devil, or you are a devil with weak strength and low class."
Fitch immediately understood based on his own situation. He is now a devil, but the proportion of fork-way demons in his soul is very small, so the breath will easily be partially covered by humans. He should have helped some without using his contract demon abilities.
"In the goddess' fortress, there are only steadfast believers and paladins who can kill the devil, so no devil will take risks, and this possibility does not exist; a weak devil cannot become a human being perfectly, and this possibility is also ruled out. So you think the biggest possibility is that I have encountered a devil... Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with your idea, but in fact you still ignore a possibility."
"What's possible?" A pair of green eyes shining.
"There is a particularly powerful devil who almost perfectly interspersed into humans. Everyone in the fortress was deceived, and only a little breath leaked in front of the elf female paladin. Maybe it was accidental, but maybe it was he who deliberately showed a little to arouse the paladin's curiosity, making her want to find out and then slowly fall into the palm of the devil."
"Wow, this is a good plan, and it is indeed a possibility that I didn't expect. I think your idea can be written into an interesting book!" The Paladin smiled happily and reached out to Fitch: "Didrit Andomir, you can also call me Didi or Dilly. In this way, you don't need to call me a female elf Paladin in the future."
"Feige Hall, it will definitely become Feige Ice Peak in the future. Lord Kipling said that I will have a nickname after completing the ceremony, but I don't know now. Just call me Feige, there is no abbreviation."
"I have heard your legend, and almost everyone warned me that it would be better to stay away from you, probably because you are a serious threat to girls. Now it seems that you must have used the power of the devil." Diderit quietly pointed to the direction of the gate of the fortress castle: "Gresham doesn't like you very much, so he kept saying it on the road. He should tell you the real feeling directly, and then the two of them duel in the form of a knight to solve this problem, rather than causing trouble for you. By the way, what did you and Princera who he always said to do?"
"I really can't remember it. The name Princera sounds familiar, but that's all."
"Then you are such a scumbag." Didrit curled his lips: "Forgotten the past is also a crime, do you know?"
"Please put the blame on the devil's head." Feiqi saw Dilly rolling her eyes, so she asked curiously: "What does Princera have to do with you?"
"Of course not with me, but she is Gresham's childhood sweetheart, and the two have a engagement - this is what Gresham said. But I don't know how the engagement is going now. If you want to know, you can ask Gresham!"
If Feich wanted to commit suicide, he would definitely go to Gresham to inquire about this problem - fortunately he was not stupid.
Looking at the lively and beautiful female elf Paladin in front of him, an interesting idea suddenly emerged from Feichi's mind: "Dili, will you be free in the next period of time? Can you come and hunt griffins for us?"
"I am from the Sacred Heart, not from the Sacred Body, why do you have this idea?"
"Because it is a good thing to destroy griffins. Isn't it right?" Feiqi pointed his fingers in his palms and listed the benefits of doing this: "A day before griffins die, the surroundings will become safer sooner, and the people and the goddess will be happy; your assistance can make this matter more likely to win - as long as your martial arts are reasonable; with you in the team and witnessing our efforts, you can also avoid Gresham from finding fault again. However, most importantly, I think you are very interesting and should be a good partner and a trustworthy friend."
"Okay!" Didert narrowed his eyes into two crescent moons, and nodded vigorously with a smile: "I'll go and say something to the bishop teacher, and then I'll set out with you tomorrow."
She turned around and left, with a decisive attitude. However, after five steps, she turned around again. "Feich, there is one more thing to be solved. Are you asking me to help? You are not a Sacred Heart person, nor are you my superiors, so according to the regulations, I cannot serve you free of charge."
"Then what do you want? I don't have much money, at least I don't think I can get your money. What do you like? Do you like listening to stories and singing?"
"I can accept the story, but there are no elves inside." Diderit turned around and left, leaving behind a series of clear and pleasant voices: "Tell interesting stories!"
Diderit disappeared into the corridor outside the door. This unexpected help gave Feich more confidence in the task of hunting griffins. However, how to use this help well still requires careful consideration. So Feich sat down, worked hard to expand his thinking, estimated various situations, and of course he had to prepare the reward for Di Li: an interesting story she had never heard of.
And it's best to speak in a month.
After a while, Tron came back, and a small bag on his shoulder that was slanted to the ribs, which must have contained the potion needed for this mission. "Feich, let's go to the arsenal."
"I just fooled Diderit into going with us-Diderit is that Elf Paladin."
"What?!" Tron opened his mouth wide: "How did you do it?"
"I sincerely invited it, that's it." Feiqi didn't understand what Tron was surprised. However, it was understandable that Tron had lived a life of almost completely closed and militarized management in the Ice Peak Fortress since childhood, and it was understandable that he lacked experience in dealing with women. "If you don't object to her joining, shouldn't it be time to take me to the arsenal?"
"Of course, I don't object. Although the Paladin of the Sacred Heart is not as good as the Monster Hunter of the Sacred Body, they are at least qualified warriors. They can perform better in other fields. Ah... What nonsense am I talking about? The arsenal is here."
The current situation is that one person has more strength. Even if it is one more weapon, armor and weight carrying are good. This is why Feiqi has not received weapons training, but he still has to carry weapons.
According to the previous plan, Fitch decisively chose a light and tough spear as the main weapon of melee combat, and then brought a short and thick dagger with a wide blade serrated back for daily use. He found a crossbow with a handle, which did not require much power when loading. There were twenty crossbow arrows in total. But he and Tron had some differences in armor.
"I have seen what griffin's claws look like. Even horse bones can be directly grasped. I don't think the armor is of any use. Anyway, it's a state of death if you're hit. I might as well go lightly and be more flexible."
"The armor does not allow you to face griffins, but allows you to see griffins alive. If there is only the threat of griffins in the Sunset Mountains, there is actually no threat. At least you know what a wolf is..."
"Same." Feiqi shook his head: "I have been training for only two months, and it is actually a burden in combat. The only function of wearing armor is to prevent me from moving. Look at these joints, look at these nails and belts, and I will be killed by these things first."
"Then..." Tron thought for a while: "Let's do this, I'll find you a set of cotton armor. The mountains will get colder and colder, anyway, you have to wear warmer. As for the remaining protection... go find Ramsden and help him carry things. Dry food and debris can also play a protective role, hehe."
