Chapter 163: The Noble Lady Who Has Been Sleeping for a Thousand Years
Belch...... Ah......h
The woman in the coffin opened her pale lips slightly, and let out a low moan, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was hoarse and stiff, and her blue eyes gradually widened, as if they had lost their focus, and they were fixed without blinking, and it took a long time to get used to it and regain their crystal color. Every sign is that this woman has been asleep for a long, long time.
As if sorting out the fragments scattered in her mind, she lay in it for several minutes before she slowly moved, as if she wanted to sit up, but unfortunately the body that had just woken up was too stiff, and her upper body only bent a small arc, and she lay down again with a "snap", and after several attempts like this, she successfully sat up.
Hey......?
I have to say that this woman is quite beautiful, although she can't compare with my Sarah, but the round goose egg face exudes plain and elegant, mixed with a slender and plump figure, and the baby-like snow-white skin, but it also has a mature charm. The snow-white robe she was wearing did not have a trace of wrinkles, which showed that she must have been carefully cared for inside before she "fell asleep", but according to the customs of the Dark Continent, this kind of white robe was generally worn by the dead who were about to be buried, could it be that she was mistaken for a dead person at that time? But why is it placed in the most sacred prayer hall? And slept for so long? Who is she?
I looked at her carefully, she was about thirty years old, her beautiful appearance, her beautiful posture, and the noble temperament revealed in her every move, all of which fit the image of a perfect noblewoman, uh...... However, according to the age of the Dark Continent. Thirty years old, the real age should be forty or fifty years old, if it is strong with strength, it may be much older, just look at the old woman who doesn't recognize the old woman in Kasha...... No, no, it's age, whatever. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is who she is and why is she here?
As the "Sleeping Lady" sat up, she seemed to notice movement behind her. Little by little, she turned her head and looked at me standing on the cross behind her with confused eyes, her slow and stiff movements making her look like a machine that hadn't been started for decades.
I didn't shy away from her eyes, or rather, I always wanted her to do something. So that I can observe more clues and information, so as to make up for the curiosity and doubts that are constantly rolling in my mind.
“……”
Her mouth moved. It seemed that she had said something, but because she hadn't spoken for too long, only some syllables of unknown meaning came out of her throat, and she lowered her head in a daze, muttering incessantly. As if trying to regain the feeling of speaking, it took a while for her to raise her head again, as if she had a sense of certainty. Looking at me with dull eyes, although the words that came out of my small mouth were still strictly out of tune, like a foreigner with a big tongue expounding in jerky Mandarin, it did not prevent me from hearing the meaning inside......
"Yes...... Rescue ...... I...... Target...... Husband...... Is it? ”
"......" was hit......
Although I don't have any plans for the beautiful woman in front of me, but generally speaking, when encountering this kind of event that almost only occurs at the beginning of a romance novel, as long as it is a man, I will more or less expect it...... Therefore, as soon as I opened my mouth to hear such words, it really made me feel a little bit of a hundred tastes, the falling flowers were intentional, my flowers had not fallen, and she was ruthless first......
"Can you make it clear, lady? It's best to start from the beginning, for example, your name, and why are you ...... here? ”
I can only smile weakly at the other party's nonsensical pleas, and I should at least explain the whole thing before asking for help.
"Right...... Sorry ......"
Her expression looked very troubled, it seems that she can't sort out the things in her mind very well, because the body is still sitting in the "coffin", so she can only bow her head and apologize, even so, that only the elegance of the nobles will show, but it can also make people fully feel the sincerity contained in it, it seems that she was indeed a noble lady with a high status before.
"My name is Marquiry. Jeris ......"
"Hello, Madame Yerris, it is an honor for me, the Druid Wu Fan, to have the privilege of meeting such a beautiful lady."
I made a gentle men's salute, and I was now more or less familiar with the etiquette of the dark world, though most of it had been learned from Sarah's heroic novels......
For the title of Mrs. Yerris, she seems a little confused, she has been asleep for so long, and it is very normal to have this feeling of being in a different world, but it seems that this name has been seen somewhere, hey, why do I always have a feeling of forgetting things lately?
Mrs. Yeris supported her body with her hands, slightly on her body
She stood up with a twist, and then carefully jumped off the stage, and even if she did, it was very pleasing to the eye. Of course, when I made my evaluation, I didn't expect that if I was a polite gentleman, I would be honored to lend a helping hand, and it was obvious that I, an imposter gentleman, was just silently observing from the sidelines.
"Here it is...... The prayer hall of the cathedral? ”
Mrs. Yeris did not seem to blame me for my lack of manners, and when she had her feet on the ground, she looked around with her blank eyes and a thoughtful expression.
"Let's talk as we go."
She looked at me, said a little stiffly, and then took the lead.
"As you wish."
I'm also very curious about her husband, she must have been asleep for a long time, so what about her husband, is he really alive? With an unnatural aura, what went wrong?
Could it be a demeanor?! By the way, she has always looked sluggish from the beginning, like a puppet, but thinking that she has slept for so long, it is naturally impossible for her to recover so quickly, and my heart is relieved.
Still, I stopped in front of her.
"Lady Yerris, I can feel your anxiety, but the front is dangerous, so let me clear the way for you."
"Danger, this is a cathedral, is there any danger?" She looked at me dumbfounded.
“……”
I said, what era did you run out of......
"May I take the liberty of asking, what is your husband's name?" Just in case, I asked.
"Alexander. Ellchton ...... replied with that lifeless expression.
With a "poof", I almost swallowed my breath, and my mind quickly recalled the biography I saw in the secret room of the barracks a few days ago, no wonder I felt that her name was a little familiar—wasn't it the name that appeared dozens of times in that biography?
"Commander of the Second Legion of the Holy Light Crusade, Alexander. Ellchton? ”
I was not convinced and asked again.
"Yes, he's my husband!"
She looked at me with firmness and force, and her stiff pretty face finally showed a hint of pride.
My heart was tumbling violently, and I didn't expect that the person I was now entrusted to save was actually the big man I saw in the biography a few days ago, but the most important thing was that Alexander. Wasn't Irchton a figure from a time before the forces of hell invaded? It's been at least thousands of years! Is it possible that Mrs. Yeris in front of him, his wife, if it is true, then she has also been asleep for thousands of years? And according to the biography, wasn't she killed by her husband's own hands? Why is it here......
Countless questions swelled in my mind, almost cracked, uh, no, I'm afraid I can't think of a reason for it even if Holmes is possessed at this moment.
I suppressed all my doubts for the time being, chatted with her sentence by sentence, and of course, did not forget to reveal some information to her, when she knew that thousands of years had passed since her time, and that soon after her death, the forces of hell had begun to invade the entire Dark Continent in full force, and now it was in danger, a trace of surprise finally appeared on her dull face.
"Does Lady Yerris remember her life before she fell asleep, and why she is here?" I cautiously probed.
“……”
I was stunned for a while, and the sadness in her eyes did not escape my eyes, and it seemed that what was said in the biography was true, but in the end, she shook her head and denied it, and refused to answer on the grounds of the facts I had just stated—thousands of years have passed, and many things have become blurred......
"So, thousands of years have passed, is Lord Alexander really still alive?"
In the case of trying not to irritate her, I asked another question, since you want me to help, then these most basic questions should also be told to me, otherwise what if you run over and only find a skeleton?
"Yes, I'm sure, because I can still hear his cries of sorrow even in his sleep, so please save him......"
Hearing her words, my whole body suddenly shuddered, what a supernatural dialogue, how can I have a bad premonition?
Under the leadership of Lady Yerris, along the way, we destroyed several groups of monsters, and saw that the sacred cathedral in the past was full of evil and ugly hellish creatures, and she finally fully believed what I just said, no way, when she was killed, the forces of hell had not yet invaded in a big way, so naturally she would not accept lightly that the "strong theocracy era, the monastery guarded by millions of powerful warriors" would be defeated by the forces of hell in just a few hundred years.
