"No way, Boss, you're here again! It's late at night, you should be resting!"
Vincent had a tearful expression on his face and muttered to Roderick, but who knew that the man actually heard it.
Roderick gave him a blank look, pointed his sword at him, and said, "You, that's you! You're... Vincent? Now come here, let me see the results of your recent training."
As he said that, he swung his sword directly at Vincent.
The other party hurriedly dodged the sword energy in panic, and now he dared not refuse even more.
He could only walk over to Roderick with a sad face, comforting himself that at least the boss still recognized him. But in just a few seconds, he was pinned to the ground by his own captain.
As for the others, their situation was not much better. Soon the whole camp was filled with wailing.
Chen Tian could tell something was wrong. The man was clearly drunk. Although his expression was serious and he didn't seem drunk at all, it was easy for Chen Tian to spot.
Because he could vaguely feel that the man's eyes were sometimes out of focus, and his actions were simple and rough.
Roderick trained so intently that he trained the entire Paladin team. Unexpectedly, they didn't suffer any setbacks from the fight with the wolves, but were instead severely beaten by their own leader.
Of course, such battles are still very helpful for their growth.
Chen Tian watched with fascination, inexplicably finding his lover quite adorable. But just as he was about to speak, Vincent, who had fallen to the ground beside him, quickly whispered, "Shh! Shhh!"
"Duke Gosset, please be quiet and don't arouse our boss's attention! Otherwise, he might not let you go either."
Chen Tian raised his eyebrows and gave Lulu a look. Lulu quickly helped Vincent up and brought him to her side.
Then Vincent said weakly, "Your Excellency the Duke, our boss is like this. He can't drink alcohol. If he drinks even a little, he'll become like this. He'll either challenge someone or train everyone. And the next day, he won't remember anything!"
So not only is he a low alcohol drinker and a bit of a drunkard, but he also suffers from memory loss?
Facing such a lover, Chen Tian felt a little strange.
However, he really had no interest in being trained in public by the other party. He just touched his chin and had some other thoughts in his mind.
Chen Tian felt better as he thought about the outline of a plan in his mind.
After watching for a while, he saw that Aqir was forced to pick up the piano and practice one song after another, so he decided to quit and returned to his tent.
Ignoring the chaos in the camp that night, Chen Tianming set up a soundproof barrier for himself.
And just as Vincent said, when Roderick woke up the next day, he really didn't remember anything.
But he was obviously aware of his problem and immediately asked Vincent and Winnie about his condition last night.
Knowing that they had only trained the Paladins and defeated a few people, and had not offended the Duke, the man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But it seems that my alcohol tolerance is even worse than I thought. I had two previous times and drank a glass straight away. This time, seeing that the glass the little duke handed me was not big, I thought that if I drank less, I might be fine. Unexpectedly...
Roderick made up his mind that he would never drink again, at least not when he was with Duke Gossett, and he must not drink at all.
So in the next few days, no matter what opportunity Chen Tian tried to find to get his lover to drink, seeing her get drunk again, all ended in failure.
Sensing the man's defensiveness, Chen Tian felt helpless. He had originally wanted to take another look at his baby's adorable appearance and observe its specific attributes. But now it seemed that he had to give up this idea for the time being.
However, there will definitely be another chance once we get to town.
The journey these past few days was smooth, perhaps because of the encounter with the wolf pack that time, and what Belinda did aroused public anger.
In addition, her aura of charm had declined, and some paladins were surprised that Belinda seemed not only less charming but also more beautiful after that night, and she was no longer able to cause any trouble.
Although she also tried to apologize to Vincent and win back everyone's favor, it was obvious that in such a life-or-death situation, a person's reaction was more like her instinct, and it was not so easy to gain everyone's forgiveness.
Even though Vincent didn't say anything on the surface, he certainly never showed any kindness to Belinda again. Instead, every time he saw Lulu, his whole body would instantly tense up, and he would act as if he believed everything she said.
The two of them didn't bicker as much as they had on previous trips, which made Lulu a little uncomfortable. But Chen Tian, watching them interact, could discern some clues. However, this kind of fate required their own hard work.
A day later, they finally arrived at a small town.
It seemed that the people from the Church of the God of Light had received the notice from the Church in Gray Tower City earlier. They were waiting for them at the town entrance and took them to the largest hotel here to settle down. It was said that this hotel was owned by the church.
The town was too small, and the hotel's standards were not even comparable to those in Grey Tower City, but it was still better than sleeping in the open in the forest.
After entering the town, Aqir separated from them. It was said that his friends were waiting for him here, and they were going to other places together.
However, Chen Tian knew in his heart that there must be some urgent move in the capital, and he needed to rush back, so the other party parted with them like this.
Therefore, Belinda, who had already suffered the punishment of the system, had to turn her attention to Chen Tian again.
Although she knew that the Duke disliked her very much, seeing that Roderick's favorability had also dropped, if she had to choose a target, she might as well choose the Duke who offered more generous rewards.
At least he is younger and seems easier to control than this stern Paladin Commander.
When they arrived at the residence and were assigned rooms, Chentian's room was naturally the best. Roderick chose the room next to his, saying it would be more convenient for protecting Duke Gosset's safety.
After finally getting a good rest, Roderick did not detain everyone in the team and told them to walk around. After all, they had never been to this town before.
Chen Tian also wanted to go out for a walk. When Roderick learned about it, he immediately called seven or eight people to follow him, but was opposed by Chen Tian.
He naturally likes to have his lover around, but as for other people, forget it. Just kidding, if there are so many people behind him, how can he cultivate feelings with his own baby?
Faced with the stubborn little duke, Roderick finally had to agree, and only he and Vincent and two others would serve as his guards.
However, just as they reached the door, Belinda caught up with them.
"Your Excellency the Duke, are you going out? I also want to go out for a walk. Can I join you?"
Belinda said with a smile that she would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to get along with the Duke, especially when she felt that her beauty and charm had declined, which made her feel nervous.
Chen Tian casually glanced at the time-traveling girl, but didn't refuse. He quietly left with Lulu, Roderick walking beside him. Lulu and Vincent walked behind.
Belinda wasn't discouraged by the young duke's indifference. She chased after him, hoping to talk to Chen Tian. However, her repeated attempts to bring up the topic were met with complete indifference, leaving her feeling anxious. If this didn't work, the system might punish her again.
This damn kid, why is he so hard to please!
Belinda resented that Archer had left without her noticing, having only spoken to a few others in the group. Winnie also knew about it, but hadn't come to say goodbye, leaving her with no chance to do anything.
Now, she could only focus all her energy on the little duke, and Belinda's flattery obviously made Roderick feel even more annoyed.
However, they hadn't been walking down the street for long when Chen Tian and Roderick both felt as if someone was following them. After exchanging a glance, they both headed towards a dark, deserted alley.
Sure enough, when they got there, a tall and strong man suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
The man had short black hair and a face full of flesh, looking like someone he wasn't meant to mess with. He was dressed in the attire of a high-ranking mercenary. Drawing the sword from his waist, he exuded the aura of a Level 4 Knight.
As soon as the opponent released his aura, Chen Tian knew his purpose. In such a small town, a knight's squire was considered a powerful figure, let alone a fourth-level knight.
Even Roderick is only level five, so it is conceivable that a level four knight can definitely walk around the town with ease.
As for why they were targeted?
Although their group consisted of three men and two women, which was not a small number, Lulu and Belinda looked weak and powerless, not to mention Chen Tian, who still looked like a teenager.
Although the remaining Roderick and Vincent were obviously paladins by their attire, the paladins' attire was uniform with the church, so their ranks could not be discerned.
This town only has a small Church of the God of Light. The highest-ranking paladin inside is only level two and is already very old. The rest is just a knight's squire. There are only less than three clergymen in the church.
It is conceivable that in the eyes of the locals, the people of the Church of Light are nothing to be feared.
Chen Tian did not deliberately conceal his clothes. His outfit was quite luxurious and it was obvious at a glance that it was worth a lot of money. It was inevitable that he would be mistaken for a fat sheep to be slaughtered by those who did not know the truth.
"Oh my! Oh my! I'm so lucky today. I can actually meet so many beauties!"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded, and the man opposite licked his lips. His eyes deliberately moved around Chen Tian and the two girls a few times. When he looked at them, his eyes were full of malice and greed.
But it was obvious that this person had the wrong idea, and his gaze successfully angered Roderick.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by the angry man.
The author has something to say:
Roderick: If you dare to tease my wife, I will kill you!
Chentian: OO? ? ?
