Gawain felt that his condition was improving rapidly, his brain was gradually waking up, and his control over his body had reached the level of freedom of movement. He finally had the energy to pay attention to the girl who was still being held in custody: "Speaking of which...this What's going on?"
The half-elf girl has been working hard to reduce her sense of existence before this, and hopes that these people from the Cecil family can "meet the ancestors". In the huge impact, she forgot about someone digging their ancestral graves, but before she could find a chance to escape, Gawain cast his gaze over, so the unfortunate thief could only shrink her neck, showing a very pitiful look. : "I just want to come in and hide..."
"Do you need to go all the way into the deepest tomb to hide?" Heti immediately glared and said to Gawain, "Ancestor, that is This despicable tomb robber has desecrated your resting place and disturbed your sleep!"
Gawain was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned strange when he looked at the half-elf girl: "That is to say... ...Did you wake me up?"
If it weren't for the limitations of the human body, Miss Thief would have shrunk her head into her pelvis, and her voice would tremble: "I really I didn’t do anything! I really wanted to find a safe place to hide in the beginning, but after getting in, I accidentally contracted an occupational disease and got into the tomb. But I didn’t find anything when I got into the tomb... "
Gawain thought for a while and said seriously: "Thank you anyway."
Miss Thief: "...Huh?"
Including Rui. Everyone, including Beka and Hetty: "...Huh?"
"Ahem, let her go. It doesn't look good for you four grown men to hold a little girl like this," After Gawain said thank you, he realized something was wrong, but he couldn't change his words, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "It's not in line with the spirit of chivalry, well, chivalry."
Hetty's face flashed He hesitated: "But ancestor, she is..."
"I would like to thank her for waking me up from my deep sleep," Gawain waved his hand and said, "Let it go, I don't have any objection to you. What are you talking about?"
Knight Byron looked at the "Ancestor Cecil" with a strange look, and finally took back his long sword under the direction of Hetty's eyes, and the three soldiers beside him also Then retreat.
The half-elf girl looked around and made sure that the situation in front of her was not a prank. Then she stood up carefully and confirmed with Gawain: "Well, you are an elder and you want to speak. Forget it, don’t regret it!”
The corners of Hetty’s eyes suddenly twitched, and she suppressed the urge to beat up this tomb robber for a long time with the aristocratic cultivation she had cultivated over the years.
Gawain looked at the girl curiously. From the memory he just inherited, he could judge that the other person's race should be a mixed elf: "What is your name?"
Half-elf girl Blinking his eyes: "Amber."
Gawain touched his chin: "Amber? That's rightSome forest elf style..."
At this time Heti suddenly spoke up, interrupting the communication between Gawain and the half-elf who called himself Amber: "My ancestors, I have to interrupt you. ——Now is not the time for small talk, we are not safe now! "
Gawain tried hard to assume his new identity. He looked at Hetty seriously: "What happened outside? "
"It's a monster! "Rebecca, who had been silent for a long time, said loudly, "The monsters are coming from the direction of Selin Pass and the mine! Neither the army nor the security forces in the territory are any match for those monsters - now the outside is probably completely occupied by those guys..."
"We organized resistance as much as possible and fought hard before the situation completely collapsed. Knight Philip led some soldiers to cover the civilians for evacuation, but before the second batch of evacuation teams set off, those monsters destroyed the suspension bridge," Hetty added, "Rebecca and I did not disgrace the Cecil family's reputation. So did these brave warriors, and we fought in the castle to the last moment—until the gates of the inner court were also breached, and we had to retreat hither. ”
Then Gawain asked some more questions and finally pieced together the outline of the whole thing:
This is the ancestral territory passed down from the first ancestor of the Cecil family to the present day. , and the little girl next to her carrying the iron staff, Rebecca, who looked like a high school girl, turned out to be the current lord of this territory. When the monster attacked, the young lord lady did her best to organize it. Resistance, but obviously failed - the monster eventually destroyed all defenses and slaughtered all humans along the way. After the first survivors were evacuated, Rebecca and the last soldiers who adhered to the leader's duties were killed. Trapped in the castle, they persisted in fighting for a long time, but in the end the castle was breached, and they had no choice but to retreat to the ancestral tomb below the castle.
Then they happened to encounter their own trap. Corpse...oh, possessed.
And the beautiful lady named Hetty is actually Rebecca's aunt.
But these seniority relationships are not suitable for Gawain. Words are meaningless, anyway, they are all great-great-granddaughters, one more great-granddaughter and one less great-granddaughter makes no difference.
As for the half-elf named Amber, she is indeed a thief. , but this time she really came to find a place to take refuge - but this thief lady's professional skills are really superb, and she actually got all the way into the deepest chamber of the Cecil family's ancestral tomb...
"Is it such a mess when I wake up..." Gawain rubbed his forehead, thinking about how to solve the current crisis while searching for information that could help from the memory bank in his mind, "So, those monsters have completely occupied If you get up there, it will be a dead end if you go out. Monsters kept screaming, what on earth were those? "
"I speculate that it is some kind of demon subspecies," Hetty said, "But demons have not appeared in the main material world for many years, and they still appear on such a large scale., I’m not sure either. "
Rebecca grabbed the staff and stared at Gawain with hopeful eyes: "Master Ancestor, can't you defeat the monsters outside with your strength? "
Gawain was stunned for a moment: "Me? "
"Yes! According to legend, aren't you the most powerful knight in the Anzu Kingdom, or even the entire northern continent? "Rebecca's eyes almost started to sparkle, "It is said that you killed Gurge, the great governor of the barbarians with one sword..."
Gawain quickly searched his memory, and was surprised: Gao Wen Vin Cecil is actually a legendary warrior!
He is the greatest hero in the Ansu Kingdom’s pioneering era, and is also one of the earliest pioneers in what is known as the “Second Pioneering” period! 1.
In the dark ages when the ancient Gondor Empire collapsed, the empire’s remnants returned to chaos and barbarity, and the light of human civilization was gradually swallowed up by the chaotic demonic tide spreading from the hinterland of the continent. Gawain Cecil and a group of fierce men of the same period led the surviving humans to escape the ruins of the collapsed empire and marched in four directions. One of the groups heading north was the ancestors of the Kingdom of Ansu. Gawain Cecil was among them.
His life was extremely short, but extremely brilliant: he set out as a fifteen-year-old boy and became the youngest pioneer knight at that time; The other pioneering knights and the first generation of King Ansu overcame all obstacles and spent ten years establishing a new kingdom in the north of the continent and bringing mankind back to civilization and order; after Ansu established the kingdom, he became one of the seven generals of the kingdom. , guarding the southern border, resisting more than a dozen counterattacks from the dark demonic tide, large and small, without a single defeat...
It's just that such a glorious life is like a candle that burns too fiercely, this legend is like The character only lived to be thirty-five years old. In the last battle against the dark demonic tide, Gawain Cecil died of exhaustion.
This is the end of the inherited memories.
This is the life of this fierce man.
Gawain felt like his forehead was beating.
He was possessed by an incredible person!
There was no complacency or fear. After a brief moment of shock, his biggest reaction was actually... feeling unsure.
Rebecca was looking at him expectantly, Amber. It was the same look. Even Ms. Hetty, who looked the most mature and steady, looked at them with expectation and trust.
But what they were looking at was Gawain Cecil. Not Gawain.
Gawain looked down at his hand, which was a warrior's hand. It was broad, strong, and had thick calluses, but he didn't know that he was controlling this body. How much power can this body exert with time?
But this state of uncertainty did not last long, because Gawain's own memory became active for tens of thousands of years. , maybe even hundreds of thousands of years of memories - although the actual content of these memories may not be muchIt was a small amount, but it was enough for him to quickly correct his mentality and become confident in himself.
He admitted that he was a little shocked by the legendary life of Gawain Cecil, but what he needed in this situation was not to be shocked and shaken, but to strengthen himself.
The source of this confidence is simple -
He was watching the world long before the intelligent creatures on this continent could walk upright!
He knew that these memories would not be of any real help, but at this moment, he just needed to encourage himself.
Then use this energy to find a way to survive.
Once you calm down, there will naturally be a solution.
He soon found something useful in the memory belonging to Gawain Cecil.
"It is unrealistic to fight all the way out," Gawain said seriously, touching his chin, "I have been sleeping for too long, so I may not be able to exert much strength, and we cannot be sure of the monsters outside. How powerful can it be, so the best way is to find a way around those monsters and run to a safe place."
Rebecca: "But the suspension bridge has been destroyed, and several others. The road is also blocked..."
Gawain waved his hand and interrupted this unknown great-granddaughter: "Underground, Cecil Territory was once part of the kingdom's southern defense line. There is an underground place here. The main body of the secret tunnel system is blessed by the earth element and will not collapse even for a thousand years, and the entrance to this secret tunnel is under the castle."
"There is such a thing. ? ” Rebecca suddenly showed a surprised expression, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go find the tunnel! Master Ancestor, please lead the way!”
“But there is a problem,” Gawain said. hand, "I only know the way from the castle, but I don't know the way from the tomb."
Rebecca looked surprised: "You have lived here for so long and you don't even know about it. "Way?"
Gawain: "..."
Byron Knight and the soldiers: "..."
Hetty looked pale and felt old There is a high possibility that the ancestors will be angered to death by this unsatisfactory descendant...
