Volume 1, Chapter 45 – Holy Light Impact

Just as Tianyin was about to end her work for the day and take a rest, a player suddenly rushed in from outside the Job Change Hall.

Bang!

The sudden and violent entrance was completely different from the players before who had properly opened the doors.

Such an approach obviously drew the attention of the Paladin NPCs inside the Job Change Hall, and at the same time, Tianyin also turned her gaze over.

“That person…”

The moment she saw that player, the information about him immediately surfaced in Tianyin’s mind.

Duansheng Tingyu.

His ID was still blood-red, and he was carrying a greatsword on his back that looked quite intimidating.

Coupled with his tall and burly frame, the player exuded a faint but unmistakably menacing aura.

“You again?”

The Paladin NPCs in the hall clearly recognized Duansheng Tingyu as the same player who had come yesterday, the one who openly shouted about looking for Fisiel. However, because of the Seven Virtues of the Knight, the Paladins couldn’t directly drive him away. Even so, their disgust was quite openly displayed.

“Apologies, but Lady Fisiel will not meet with you. Please leave.”

The leading Paladin NPC was fairly rational. Although he also disliked Duansheng Tingyu, his basic knightly conduct was still well maintained.

Upon hearing the Paladin’s words, the greatsword-carrying player, Duansheng Tingyu, ignored them, his gaze sweeping past the group of knights as he looked around the hall without a care.

For some reason, as Tianyin watched his eyes getting closer to her direction, she suddenly had the feeling that this guy was here specifically for her.

“No, I have to sneak away before he notices…”

Sensing that something was wrong, Tianyin immediately shrank her little head and carefully turned around to head toward the back door of the Job Change Hall.

As long as she made it through that back door, she wouldn’t have to worry about that player bothering her anymore.

After all, that was where the knight girl, Fisiel, lived…

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she hoped. Just as Tianyin turned around to escape, Duansheng Tingyu’s gaze landed squarely on her.

“I… am looking for her…”

Duansheng Tingyu spoke slowly, word by word.

That one line made all the knights’ expressions change drastically.

“You bastard!”

The leading Paladin roared in anger, and in the blink of an eye, the longsword at his waist was drawn and gripped tightly in his hand.

“Come! Duel with me! As a Paladin, you cannot refuse a duel challenge from me, outsider!”

Though furious, this Paladin unexpectedly issued a formal duel challenge to the player Duansheng Tingyu.

At this point, one couldn’t help but complain about the flaws of the Paladin class.

After all, as Paladins, the knights who most strictly adhered to the Seven Virtues of the Knight, they were viewed by the public as paragons of righteousness.

But to those in higher positions, even up to kings, Paladins were actually the most troublesome group to deal with.

Because while Paladins were sworn to serve the kingdoms, empires, and the Sanctuary faction, their highest priority was still to uphold the Seven Virtues of the Knight.

It was precisely because of that that the upper ranks of this game world found them to be such a headache.

If Paladins weren’t so powerful, it would be fine. The problem was that Paladins were an indispensable part of every nation’s military strength.

However, that very fact made things even worse. If a country or empire launched a war unjustly, the Paladins on the weaker side would fight desperately to defend their homeland.

And the Paladins on the aggressor’s side?

They might sympathize with the suffering of the enemy nation and collectively go on strike, urging their own leaders to abandon their unjust campaign.

To be honest, while such actions might preserve peace between nations, they also made the Paladins’ position increasingly awkward.

Anyway, returning to the present, although the NPC Paladin was furious, his knightly reason hadn’t completely vanished.

He raised his sword high, and in the next second, the weapon in his hands shone with dazzling golden light.

“That’s—!” A Paladin nearby seemed to recognize the skill.

“Holy Light Impact…”
