Chapter 50: The Lost Oath

A hint of confusion flashed across the girl's Templar face, and she said, "I don't know why, but a voice in my subconscious told me that no one was allowed to pass through here, and I think we still don't go inside, just go out." ”

"Is there a voice in the subconscious?" "Manyu's eyes dripped, and he said half-truthfully, "It's not that I have to go inside, but now I can't find the core control point of the magic prohibition, control the entire magic array, we can only be trapped here, we have already searched all around, the core control point of the endless corridor is not here at all, if we don't want to be starved here, we must go inside." ”

"But, but, it is my duty not to let anyone enter through here, and yes, I will not allow any evil creature to pass through this gate. The young Templar Ariel's face suddenly glowed with divine brilliance, and her face was resolute, as if a warrior had found his calling.

"What is your duty?, not to allow any evil creatures to pass by?" Brute Jade immediately grasped the heart of the matter, and it was clear that the Maiden Templar's memory had entered a state of convulsion again, and began to unconsciously influence her thought patterns.

This is not surprising, although Ariel is now amnesiac, many things that are obsessed with deep attachments, if they are stimulated a little, they will involuntarily recall, and they can't say why.

For example, in the conversation with the elf Remy, she unconsciously blurted out her name, and if she wasn't reminded by others, she was afraid that she wouldn't know that she had already said her name. I believe that many people have done such things, and some familiar words, inadvertently, will blurt out, and when they look back, they have no impression.

It can be seen from the words of the maiden Templar that her previous duty was to guard this gate and not allow any evil creatures to pass through it.

But to make the brute even more confused, now that they are in the Lich's Mage Tower, and in the magic ban set by the Lich, the Maiden Templar is supposed to be imprisoned, how can it be that her duty is to forbid all evil creatures from passing through here?

Could it be that she is just a guard, guarding something more important, or a person?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Manyu's mind, and the first thing that came to mind was the mysterious call of the underworld that had led him here.

Yes, since the soul summoning was not sent by the Maiden Templar, it means that someone else, and this person may be the one who was guarded by it!

Thinking of this possibility, Manyu couldn't help but feel impetuous, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility became.

Manyu's associative ability is still relatively rich, and as he understands more and more things, he seems to have grasped the context of the whole thing, and what he needs to do now is to find evidence to confirm his conjecture.

However, the premise is that the barbarian jade will get the girl Templar again.

"Miss Ariel, I think the duty you mentioned must be the duty before the amnesia, and now you can't even remember what your duty is, how can you carry it out?" Since you mentioned the word duty, it is clear that you are not just imprisoned here, it is very likely that you are a guardian something, not desecrated by evil beings, and this thing is probably related to your background. ”

"As far as I know, amnesia patients, if they can get in touch with more things they were familiar with before, may recall a lot of related things, which is very helpful for memory recovery. ”

"Don't forget, so far, what we know about you is only your name, or if you came with you unintentionally, and other things like professions are all bold guesses we made based on previous skills and the marks on the armor, but now that the armor is completely scrapped, and that little bit of physical clues is broken, we must find new physical clues again, so that we can compare them when the time comes. ”

"But......" The maiden Templar was a little shaken by the repeated verbal bombardment of the brute jade, she was now intercepting in front of the door completely out of an instinct, a subconscious instinct, and the previous initiative to hunt the undead was also out of this instinct, this instinct was only in the subconscious of the heart, it was a deep memory before the amnesia, but with the loss of memory, although this subconscious existed, it was not particularly strong.

If the Maiden Templars really hunted the undead because of their faith, do you think they could be shaken off by just a few nonsense words of brute jade? A believer's faith is not so easily swayed by people, unless that believer is a false believer, even if he is not a devout believer, the habitual thinking that has been formed for a long time is not swayed by a person's specious fallacies.

If you change to a devout believer, it will be even more terrifying, his faith cannot be changed at all, you can kill his faith, but you can't kill his faith, and this belief is relatively blind, just the words of protecting the undead and the terrifying thoughts of wanting the undead to follow the gods of light, are enough to make the pious believers of light raise their swords against Lei Dong.

What's more, the girl is still a Templar, and is likely to be a legendary Templar, the necessary prerequisite for becoming a Templar is that the faith must first meet the standard, if even the faith cannot meet the standard, how can she borrow the power of the gods to perform divine magic?

Manyu waved his hand and said: "No need to explain, I know what you want to say, this is your duty, even if it is your duty before you lose your memory, you can't blaspheme, right?"

"Yes, neither the duties nor the glory of a knight shall be allowed to be blasphemed. The Maiden Templar nodded solemnly, something had been integrated into her bones, and even in amnesia, it could still affect her every word and deed.

"That's what you said, but I don't know if you have ever thought about it, not to mention that we can't leave now, and even if we can leave, isn't it a greater desecration of your duty for you to leave here! If you don't leave, there is no food or drink here, how long can you stay here? one day, two days, three days, or a week?"

"This ......" brute jade's move can be described as attacking her own shield with her own spear, hitting Ariel's veins, on the one hand, she is loyal to her duty, and then starves to death here, on the other hand, she reneges on her oath in exchange for her own life, where to go, completely depends on her own thoughts, this is the biggest conflict between survival and ideas.

This time, after the brute jade put the words in place, he didn't continue to say more, and quietly waited for the female Templar to make her own decision, and he had already laid out the stakes quite clearly for her, and I believe that as long as she was not a fool, she would understand how to choose.

If he can figure it out by himself, then everyone is happy, after all, his choice is more convincing, and if he can't figure it out, it is not too late for him to help her figure it out.

Ariel's expression changed for a while, on the one hand, the oath she kept, on the other hand, her life, for her, both are equally important, she forgot her own background, forgot her name, but only did not forget her identity as a knight, a knight who can't even abide by his duties and oaths can still be called a knight?

"What should I do now?" asked the maiden Templar, looking pitifully at Manyu, struggling for a long time, unable to make a choice in her heart.

Manyu sighed helplessly in her heart, she didn't expect that Ariel's obsession with her duty was far above her own beliefs, and now she could only retreat to the next best, and suggested in a roundabout way: "I have a compromise to get the best of both worlds, but I don't know if you want to listen." ”

"Yes, yes, of course. Ariel nodded repeatedly, and now what she needed most was advice from others.

"Now let's go in and have a look, whatever is guarding inside, you can take it with you, so that you can not only keep your oath, but also get out of here! By the way, we can also find the core control point of the Endless Corridor, of course, I can assure you that when we get inside, I will never touch anything, and besides, you can follow us every step of the way, and supervise our every move. Manyu raised his hands in reassurance.

"yes, why didn't I think of this method?" said Ariel, with a look of chagrin, could it be that the amnesia had even lowered her IQ?

"But I remember my oath that no evil creatures were allowed to enter this place, especially the undead. As the Maiden Templar spoke, his gaze visibly rested on the skeleton mage and the enhanced sword skeleton.

"That's easy, just let them stay outside and wait for us, Remy and I will accompany you in, we're not evil creatures after all!"

"I'm sure Remy has a pure soul, but you!" The maiden Templar couldn't help but glance up and down at Manyu again, and said fiercely, "No matter how I feel, I feel that you have an undead aura in you." ”

"Haha...... Miss Ariel is really joking, I'm a big living person, how can I have the breath of the undead on my body? Don't you believe it, you can touch my body temperature, and my flexibility, and my pupils, teeth, you see, you see, just like this, like the undead? Even if they are the most human-like vampires among the undead, their blood is cold!" said Manyu.

"Why? Why can't the spirits of the dead go in? You are racism, naked racism. The skeleton mage jumped to his feet again and began to spit and shout.

I don't know what race Chris was when he was alive, he may have been used to being racially discriminated against, and everyone who likes to tear on the big hat of racial discrimination in big and small things, Manyu heard this word from his mouth more than once, and directly ignored his anger, and said: "This is not a request, but an order." ”

Chris's shouting helped the barbarian to relieve the siege, attracting the attention of the maiden Templar, and asked with a cold face: "Do the undead have human rights at all? Who gave you human rights? Did you consider the human rights of other creatures before killing them? What kind of face do you have to talk about human rights? The undead are punished by everyone, and they have not purified you, it is already the greatest opportunity for you, don't get an inch, as long as I am here, any evil creature will not want to step into this door." ”
