Why do you do good things but end up being a sinner?

Paladin thought about this question raised by Kino for a long time, and he didn't think it through thoroughly from morning to night.

That night, Lugo was nowhere to be found, and only Baisa went out to drink with Paladin.

The two of them drank one glass at a time and drank until midnight. Each of them drank more than four kilograms of fruit wine with various degrees of alcohol. They were so drunk that they couldn't hold their tongues straight.

Baisa shook his head and added another glass of wine, saluted Paladin, gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother, I admire you again, the disciples of the Troy family should be dangdang - if they cause trouble in the street, if you dare to kill him directly, just rush here.

Point, I, I, Baisa, will be your good brother for life! I hate things that bully others the most!"

Paladin said drunkenly: "Ha. If--if not--Lord Kino protects me, my life will be over. You can come to my tomb to pay homage to me then."

After saying this, he grabbed the wine bottle and drank heavily.

Halfway through, he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He felt his stomach was churning, and he lowered his head and started to vomit: "Ugh! Ugh—"

Baisa laughed so hard that he kept hitting the table: "Hahahahaha! You're like this, and you still say you want to stay drunk with me today? Let's practice for a few more years~"

Paladin stood up unsteadily: "My head, my head hurts. I--I won't drink with you anymore. Damn it, I can't drink you. I'm going back first."

Baisa also stood up: "I'll take you back, otherwise you won't be able to recognize the road later and will slip and fall into the cesspool."

"Fuck you!" Paladin grabbed a pork chop from the table and stumbled out, "Drink it yourself slowly. I'm going to go and blow some air. Don't follow me."

Doguland is a big alcoholic country, everyone from the king to the common people likes to drink.

Even the small frontier towns like Xilin Town have taverns, and they are bustling with people at night, not to mention the main cities like Twilight City.

It was already midnight, and everyone was still immersed in the joy of drinking, sharing the harvest of the whole day with friends, and chatting about interesting things recently.

There was laughter and laughter in the city, and the lights were dim.

Paladin walked back while chewing the pork chop.

He originally planned to go back to the government residence directly, but maybe he was too drunk and lost track of the road, so he walked and ended up in the slums of Beicheng.

The dim kerosene lamp shone in the corner of the alley, and two ragged children were rummaging for food in a pile of garbage. They had no home, and they usually didn't even have enough to eat, so they could only pray to some noble family to give them the leftovers.

Pour it into the trash so they can have a good meal.

Don't think that this kind of thing is tragic.

There are many nobles in Twilight City. They usually have a full table when dining. Many dishes are taken out and thrown away without eating a few bites. If you are lucky, you may even find a roasted suckling pig that has only been eaten for one or two bites in the garbage dump, which is very surprising.

Have a great time.

If you can eat meat, your quality of life is already higher than that of 40% of people, and you are considered half of the "bronze moon class".

No, two children found leftover roast chicken in the garbage. The little boy who took the lead snatched it away and gnawed it. The remaining little girl could only watch helplessly, hoping that the little boy

Share some leftovers with her.

In order to get a complete portion of the chicken wings later, the little girl fawned: "Brother, you are so awesome. You dared to steal Master Troy's wallet this morning, and you escaped."

"Damn it, his back was turned to me at the time. Who knew he was Master Troy? As soon as I bumped into him, I was so sorry that my intestines were blue!" The little boy ate up a chicken leg. Seeing how greedy the little girl was, he

He tore off a chicken wing, split it in the middle, and handed the small wing over.

The little girl nodded and bent down, took the little wings and ate them with relish.

The little boy was the one who was rescued by Paladin in the morning. He wiped the oil on his fingers. He didn't look innocent and pitiful at all. Instead, he had the maturity of an old man in his eyes. He cursed: "Fortunately, there is a fool."

Dan started fighting with them, so I had to take advantage of the chaos and run away, otherwise, I might have had my head stuck on the street lamp."

The little girl smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother is so wise! What do you think happened to that man?"

"God knows, if you offend Master Troy, you will definitely be beheaded." The little boy's words were full of joking, and he said in a sinister manner, "I heard that he is a new centurion. I really don't know where he got the courage.

The little centurion actually dares to contradict the Trojan family, and he doesn't care about his status, he is just a dog of the administrator."

The little girl ate the chicken wings and sipped her mouth, "That's right! If I were an administrator, I wouldn't want such a stupid dog!"

"I guess he might have thought he was a hero. Didn't you see that he was like this?" The little boy jumped up, pretended to walk like an orangutan, imitated the bark of an ape, and said in a deliberately loud voice.

, "Ho ho ho~ Whoever attacks the Centurion of Twilight City? Capture him immediately, otherwise I have the right to kill you on the spot!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!!" The two laughed so hard that they slapped their thighs wildly and continued talking and laughing while eating roast chicken.

"Ta, ta, ta..." Heavy footsteps entered the alley, getting closer and closer to them.

The two children quickly stuffed the roast chicken into their pockets and stood in front of the garbage pile, grinning, warning the intruders that this was their territory.

The tall figure approached, and Paladin's face emerged from the darkness, gradually becoming clearer. The kerosene lamp beside the road illuminated the lingering coldness in his pupils.

"It's you...you're not dead..." The little boy's eyes were wandering. He didn't know if Paladin heard their conversation just now. He quickly put on a weak expression, leaned over and said, "Uncle, we meet again.

, thank you very much for saving me today, I will definitely repay you when I grow up!"

Seeing Paladin's silence, the little boy and girl became more and more nervous, their eyes wandering, as if they were looking for a way to escape.

But the location of Paladin Station is very subtle, directly blocking all possible escape routes.

Paladin: "Thank you."

"Ah?" The little boy was stunned, "Thank you...for what?"

"Thanks to you, I have figured out the question that the Administrator asked me. Why did I obviously do good things, but in the end I was a sinner." Paladin's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at the two children with eyes like

Looking at two corpses, "Because truth is always in the hands of those in power. Whether something is right or wrong has nothing to do with the matter itself. It only depends on the identity and status of the parties involved. A high status means that

Yes. With a low status, even if you do good things, it is still wrong."

"If the magistrate did not protect me today and I was executed by the Trojan family, I would not become a hero who was praised by everyone and acted bravely for justice. On the contrary, I would be laughed at by you ungrateful bastards and become a topic of conversation during dinner. I paid for it

Life is worthless in your eyes, it's just a bragging rights for your companions."

"My fault is that my status is not high enough! I am not strong enough! I have no power in my hands, but I have to save you, a beast! Do you know what it feels like to be pinned to the ground, with your life on the table like a bargaining chip? You guys?

Do you know what it feels like to have no dignity and be treated as a wild dog on the street by a superior, who can be beaten and killed whenever he wants?!"

The muscles on Paladin's face twitched due to excessive anger, and tears even welled up in his eyes. He wiped them away, stabbed his neck hard, and hissed decisively: "I swear, I will never be taken advantage of again in this life."

The knife is held to the neck!"

When he saw the blood in Paladin's eyes, the little boy panicked completely: "Uncle! I know I was wrong! Please let me go!"

Paladin drew his sword and said coldly and without any emotion: "Do you have a sword?"

"ah?"

"Do you have a knife?!"

The little boy took out a small knife from his arms with trembling hands: "There is... for picking chicken bones..."

"Give me!"

The little boy trembled and handed over the knife.

Paladin grabbed the knife, and under the astonished gazes of the two men, he actually stabbed himself in the back.

"Pfft!"

Paladin grimaced, pulled out the blood-stained knife, and threw it at their feet. His eyes were as fierce as evil spirits: "You two, dare to attack the centurions of Twilight City? According to the "Doguland Public Security Regulations," you will be arrested.
