Chapter 1165: Leave and Stay
Any man who learns that the woman he loves is mixed with a heart of exploitation will feel angry, even with the broad-mindedness of Lofes, he will not be able to let go of it in a short time.
The two adults were so distraught with their relationship that they forgot about Nick's existence until Nick himself reminded them.
Mrs. Claire's anguish came to an abrupt end, and Lofes awoke with a sense of chagrin:
Oh my God, he actually forgot to take care of Nick, who was awakening his vindictiveness!
Although Nick's natural awakening is very stable, it is not as violent and lethal as normal bloodline awakening, but this is a natural awakening after all, if Nick has an accident because of his negligence, he will not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life!
Lofes hurriedly stepped forward to check on Nick's status, but Nick, who had trusted him quite a bit for a while, avoided him, and glanced at Lofes with a kind of childish self-concealed but obvious vigilance in his eyes, and Lofes's outstretched hand froze in the air.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
The boy asked stubbornly again.
"No, no, mom didn't cry, mom, mom just, just blown into her eyes by the sand......"
Mrs. Claire covered up and grabbed the corner of her apron to hide the traces of tears, only to find that the apron was dusty and charised, and it was too dirty to use.
Following her movements, Nick also saw the dirt on Claire's apron, and the mess radiating out of him, almost all the contents of the wooden house were destroyed, and even the walls were broken with a big hole.
This is their only refuge.
After this period of displacement, Nick has come to understand how difficult it is to survive and get food.
He vaguely remembered what had happened during his awakening.
It was precisely because he did not want to destroy their last abode and hurt his beloved mother that he managed to control the power of the explosion, miraculously minimizing the damage and not allowing the fluctuations to spread outside.
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned psychological motivations, Nick was able to do this because of the secret techniques that appeared inexplicably in his mind, and a voice in his heart that faintly reminded him, warning him that he must never reveal his specialness, even his most trusted mother, until he has enough strength.
"Did mom cry because Nick broke the house?"
The boy thought he had found the real reason, and bowed his head with reproach:
"I'm sorry, Mom, and Uncle Lopez, I didn't mean to!"
The boy's sensibility and innocence melted the hearts of the two adults, and Mrs. Claire suddenly forgot her previous grievances and sorrows, hugged her son, and denied it again and again in a nasal voice:
"Of course not! Of course not! My Nick is the best kid and Mommy doesn't blame you! ”
Loffis has a different attitude.
He crouched down, looked at Nick, and said in an equal and solemn tone as if he were talking to an adult:
"It's not your fault, Master Nick! You're just bloodline awakened, you're doing a good job, and from today onwards, you're a man who can protect your mother! ”
Nick is obviously more attracted to Lynn Lofe's attitude - or rather, since the possession of the divine thoughts, the divine thoughts have subtly changed his personality, and many picture fragments that appear in his mind have also made Nick's pure mind as a blank sheet of paper be colored while hiding deep secrets, and his personality has unconsciously developed in a specific direction.
Lofes's egalitarian attitude represents an invisible elevation of status, which is more attractive to Nick, who subconsciously wants to have a voice.
"You mean, this power in my body is Douqi?"
Born in a noble family, Nick is naturally not ignorant of fighting energy, he opened his hand, his white palm was upward, and a thin layer of light red fighting energy appeared on it, emitting a faint heat, even and smart:
"Is that it?"
"You can already use your fighting spirit so freely?"
Lofes was pleasantly surprised.
Is this the difference between natural awakening and awakening awakening?
It is impossible for the Awakening Dou Qi to be used so freely, especially Nick's Dou Qi is still known for its violent, and the potential represented by Nick's hand is simply unimaginable.
In this way, Lofes also made up his mind that no matter what, he must not let Nick's potential go to waste!
The war brought about by the demonic plague will definitely plunge most of the Muse Continent into war, Xiling Town is not a place to stay for a long time, Lofes originally planned to take advantage of the time when the White Eagle Knights evacuated and retreated to the rear together, but at this time he realized that the short-term safety of returning to the rear could not create a stable environment suitable for Nick's growth, and the upheaval of fleeing would make Nick miss the most critical period of growth.
Although the punishment of the Ten Forgiveness of the Scourge did not appear on Nick, which made Lofes very suspicious, it also had the benefit that after Nick's vindictive awakening, the suspicion of the Church knights would be much less focused on them.
Is there a safer place in the Holy See than the Holy Mountain, unaffected by demonic plagues?
If Nick could be selected to serve as a Templar reserve, he would be better trained and have a brighter future!
It's also worth taking a risk compared to the possible gains!
“…… However, if the Holy See does not forgive nobles who violate the Ten Forgiveness of the Scourge, as you said, then Master Nick will no longer be able to use the surname Nilov even if he becomes an official knight in the future. Lopis said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Nick can continue Nilov's bloodline, it will already far exceed my expectations! Milou had told us to flee to the rear and go incognito to the Merlin Empire or the Pere Empire, but he originally thought that Nilov would never recover one day! ”
Lady Claire burst into tears at the thought of her husband, who had died for them, and his last words at parting.
"I see."
Seeing this, Lofes's eyes darkened, and the identity barrier that he had just broken could not help but break became firm again, and his regret for the lord replaced his previous anger.
Nick sensitively sensed the awkward atmosphere between the adults, and looked up at Lopis and said:
"Knight Lopis, when I grow up, I will definitely revive the Nilov family!"
"I believe in you."
Lofes did not strike the child, was silent for a moment, and said seriously:
"The Demonic Calamity will plunge the entire Muse Continent into chaos, this is a stage for heroes, and only those with great power can become the masters of this era"
"Master Nick, if you want to revitalize the Nilov family, so that your descendants will not have to go through the same predicament as you are now, you must make yourself strong - until then, the surname Nilov is a taboo, you must not mention it to anyone, I want you to make a commitment to me in the honor of the family."
"Good!"
Nick raised his immature little chest high, and solemnly swore in a childish voice:
"I, Nick. Derek. Plante. Nilov swears in the honor of his family that I will never tell anyone about the surname Nilov until I have enough strength! ”
"Very good, then from today onwards, you are a civilian, a child of a mountain village hunter, remember?"
Nick didn't ask why, and without hesitation, said, "Remember." ”
Lofis was surprised.
It seems that after awakening from the bloodline, Nick has matured a lot from the little boy who commanded him to hide in his mother's arms, which makes him a little strange.
Lofes didn't expect Nick to understand more, but now he changed his mind and thought Nick might be able to do more.
"You can't show that you can read anymore, and you have to change your speech."
Nick looked confused.
Although he is influenced by divine thoughts, his personality has changed a lot, and he can even understand the words of adults, but his experience is limited after all.
Lofes then instructed:
"Think about that little Hank next door? Try to imitate his words and actions, and if you can be accepted by the little gang of little Hank, so much the better. ”
Nick was smart, "By doing this, no one will suspect that I'm a nobleman, right?" ”
"That's right." "This is your most important task, the sooner you do it, the sooner you can be sent for selection, you are young now, with your talent, you will definitely be able to pass the gò." ”
"After passing guò, you can train as a knight and gain more strength?"
"Yes."
Nick's eyes lit up and he said seriously: "I will definitely complete the task!" ”
***
On the horizon, the sky is darkened with dust.
Eugene stood on a high hill, looking out at the army that was gradually emerging from the horizon with the setting sun on its back.
"Great Knight Chief, it has been estimated that the main army of the demon clan will march eighty to one hundred miles a day, and in three days at most, it will enter the eastern part of the plateau."
"Do those demon skirmishers know?"
"Yes, they should already know the news, according to the news from the Balk Knights of Xiling Town, they found that the number of demon stragglers attacking Xiling Town has decreased, and they suspect that they are converging in the direction of the main army, and the convergence route coincides with our retreat, which may form an encirclement around us."
Eugene didn't look back, and his deep voice followed the wind to the ears of the knight behind him, "Have you contacted the other two detachments?" ”
"Yes, there are three people in each of the two teams, and the detachment leader, in accordance with wartime regulations, brought back the ashes of his fallen companions, and is currently gathering in our direction."
"Do not be sad, for they have returned to the kingdom of the Father." Eugene was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the five adults?" ”
"The five adults have not contacted us."
The Templars on this mission knew that there were five ascetics in the group before entering the Red River Plateau, but once they entered the plateau, the five ascetics left the group.
"Didn't you find even the five adults?"
The aura on Eugene's body froze a little, and after a long while, he said:
"After the two detachments gathered with us, everyone immediately retreated, leaving the plateau as fast as possible, and the Templars could not be sacrificed senselessly."
"What about you, Grand Knight?" The knight behind him was stunned, and heard the ominous meaning.
"I'll stay."
Eugene replied indifferently.
The real task is only now beginting.
