Chapter 287: The Fruit of Victory

Wars always end; when the last altar was leveled, this long war was declared over.

【Awakened Divine Art: Tier Two Divine Art Realm of Truth (You, do not lie), Tier Three Divine Art Elemental Weapon (Stack, stack damage).】

And when the reward bestowed by Pure Good descended upon Li En in the form of a Divine Art, he finally felt the relief after victory.

"It's not bad; anyway, the difference between a Tier Four Paladin and a Tier Three isn't that great."

Although he didn't enter Tier Four, the two quite practical Divine Arts were still a quite excellent return.

Considering Pure Good's stinginess as always, the direct reward of two Divine Arts was enough to prove the severity of this disaster from the side.

Without Li En's participation, this city would have been doomed to destruction.

The chain reaction caused the revival of an Evil God, the collapse of the kingdom, and even a racial war between beasts and beastmen; heaven knows how many would die.

"I'm not far from Tier Five," and Dimon's joyful words made Li En feel a bit numb.

Is he becoming a Great Knight soon? Glancing at the other Paladins, they all showed joy on their faces; they too received rewards from Pure Good, and some even obtained the God's "Divine Grace."

Such opportunities to slay demons and save cities are rare for them. A Paladin is a profession that cannot grow solely through cultivation; killing is the only path.

Before them was the scene of clearing the battlefield, with the City Guards being the busy main force.

Many mid-to-high tier professionals had idled down; during the process of healing and eating to rest, they spontaneously gathered together.

For some reason, although he also possessed the professional abilities of Sorcerers, Mages, and even Warriors, Li En was still dragged into the cluster of Paladins.

"The Weaver Knight Order, an order of novice Knights where every member is a Vowed Knight; our main members are liberated slaves and commoners. We mainly maintain order near the dock district; please, seniors, give us your guidance."

Having carried guns together naturally makes things easier to handle; the "Slum Paladin Order," with all members being classical Vowed Knights, left a deep impression on the seniors.

If it were other professional teams, the slave origin would likely bring some discomfort and prejudiced looks, but in the circle of Paladins, this seemed to become a plus instead.

Especially after learning about his Vow of Poverty—this thing couldn't be hidden by looking at his appearance and armament—it made him a rising star among the Paladins.

The more "obsessed" one is, the easier it is to gain respect in an industry of those with firm will, and naturally, more recognition and trust are obtained.

"I indeed have the Vow of Poverty; the witness is Gao Jie Brother Li En."

Li En looked at Dimon, who was doing very well among the seniors and even took the opportunity to recommend Li En.

Li En was now completely recognized within the Paladin circle of Radiance City; previously, some had vaguely heard of his reputation, and now meeting him, he was indeed a ruthless person in every aspect.

Li En did not refuse the friendly greetings one by one; everyone were comrades-in-arms, and now and in the future, they would always be.

Even though most Paladins are people of the Church, it is hard to say how much loyalty Paladins truly have to the Gods.

If the Path of Pure Good conflicts with the path of the Gods, who would be chosen remains a classic controversial problem in the world of Paladins.

Most old knights would warn new recruits to prioritize the Gods, as the Gods can truly ban your account, but in reality, those choosing the other path are vaguely more numerous.

Walk the path of good often, question your own heart, and let the thought of good endure.

High-tier Paladins of the True God Church must face this "interrogation"; contrary to Priests who require faith, blind believers are actually very hard to reach the top in the Paladin profession. Of course, the few fanatics who think "My God must be right" are another matter, but such people often do not live long.

The time waiting for post-war processing is often also a post-war review and exchange.

At least, getting familiar with faces, some will use this as an opportunity to gradually build life-and-death friendships.

Li En did not overly join in, but unknowingly gained too much attention.

In this battle, he displayed abilities comparable to a Great Professional, and at the same time, possessed too many powerful and rare traits.

"The Successor of the Holy Sword."

"That sword, pure and powerful, a sword of judgment one hundred percent."

"Is this a true classical Paladin?"

The pure and invincible "Sword of Evil-Breaking" was clearly the inheritance of an Epic Paladin hero; the Holy Sword mysteries displayed by Dimon and Li En became the object of envy and focus.

Dimon gained attention mainly because of that invincible "Soul Ability."

And for Paladins, this pure and powerful power is also the embodiment of that Paladin's character.

"I smell it from within... Judgment."

"Uncompromising judgment."

"Anger and hatred toward the unjust; they will absolutely not compromise with any criminal."

"The passion of the young is truly enviable; getting old, getting old, one will compromise. Perhaps, I should try a bit harder."

The successor of the Holy Sword might become the signature for Li En and the Weaver Knight Order.
