Chapter 10: Arce
"As for the ...... who are already dead," Gail hesitated for a moment, smiling slightly, "probably some of them died at the hands of the Weepers." β
When she said this, Robin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
At least now Arce was his own man and not a blasphemer, which made him feel inexplicably relieved.
Regarding Arce's blasphemous history, it does match Robin's previous speculation.
At the Frost Fortress, when Vivian says that Arce is a traitor, Robin probably thinks that this will be the outcome.
"Arce was once a blasphemous?" Robin feigned surprise and asked, "And how did she end up in the temple?" β
"That's because she met the first king, Severala." Gail reminisced about the past, a smile on his face.
"That was a long time ago, before I was born.
I've also heard stories from other people.
The blood that runs through Arce's body, as well as her abilities, not only gives the Wind Weeper great power, but also carries a terrible hidden danger.
When Arce is in extreme rage, she becomes bloodthirsty and furious. β
Robin's eyes lit up, which he hadn't expected.
He was under the impression that Arce was silent and steady, capable and always reliable.
Even if she doesn't speak, as long as she is, you will feel safe.
"The most painful thing in the life of the Wind Weeper is that when he attacked Itnair, he suddenly lost control and killed his lifelong friend Tongen.
Tong En was a playmate with whom she grew up and joined the pirate group with Arce.
Then he moved to the Pyroxon Alliance.
In the days when Arce was hungry, it was Tong En who supported her.
Later, after Arce joined the blasphemer, Tong En followed her without hesitation.
In Tong En's life, the Wind Weeper is her faith.
Just ......"
Gail bit her lip and looked back at the history she had heard, and couldn't help but sigh, "The blasphemers attacked Itney, and the battle at that time can be described as fierce.
It was at the front end of the Frost Keep, and thanks to the calm command and clever cunning of Grand Duke Prima, the blasphemers had fallen into a trap.
Arce is under siege.
While fighting against Itnair's mighty army, the Weepers begin to grow angry.
The ...... of that battle
Itnair lost more than three thousand troops, while the Blasphemers died less than two hundred.
Most of them, friend or foe, died at the hands of Arce. β
Gale said this, pouting and smiling, "A demonic figure.
Unfortunately, in the midst of the chaos, she killed Tong Eun, the man who fought desperately against the Kingdom Army to protect her. β
I don't know if I remembered Iyeta and his dead companion in Sekorid, Gail's eyes flashed a hint of loneliness.
"That kind of pain will be engraved in the hearts of the weepers for the rest of their lives."
Robin nodded, probably understanding the pain.
At the same time he lifted his hand and gently squeezed Gail's shoulder.
If Arce killed Tong En unconsciously, then Gail's fight with Iyeta was even more painful in comparison.
Gale smiled appreciatively at him and continued, "When Severa arrived, there was already a sea of blood outside the Frost Keep.
The greatness of the first king lies in her ability to see people's hearts, and she has a very large heart.
She learns about Arce's pain, but also cherishes her talents, and proposes a deal. β
"Agreements?" Robin blinked.
"The former king will restrain Arce's heart and the violent force that does not distinguish between the enemy and me, and at the same time, she hopes that Arce can serve her and become the personal guard of the former king."
"Hey, I always thought she was the temple guard." Robin looked at Gail in bewilderment.
"No, that's after that." Gail laughed, "The first weeper was King Severa's bodyguard, who stood guard day and night, and who had prevented more than fifty-one assassinations and successfully rescued the former king from thousands of troops.
Until ......"
Gale hesitated, "Until sixteen years ago, the first king was assassinated. β
Sixteen years ago......
Robin's heart skipped a beat.
A grim sight appeared before his eyes, just as Heloise and Jessie had described beforeβ
The blood dragged from the gates of the king's castle to the king's bedchambers.
"The Weepers were unable to defend King Sevella despite all their might, and then, after the death of the first king, she defected to the temple and became the personal guard of the Divine Envoy."
Gail thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because she doesn't like the new king Olivia very much, maybe it's because Calista was also a victim of that incident, and in a way, the direct murderer of Severa's death was the blasphemous one that the Weepers once served."
As such, Arce hated the Blasphemers, and at the same time felt guilty about their target, Lord Calista.
For many nights, Arce couldn't help but blame himself for not failing to stop Vivian, the king would not have died, and the oracle's leg would not have become disabled.
All these factors combined, and the Weeper became the Holy Guardian of the Temple.
And that bow is the only memorial left to her by the previous king. β
"But don't worry," Gail smiled, "even though Lord Arce was once one of the blasphemers, her loyalty is assured. β
Now, after listening to Gael's account, Robin had no doubts about the Weeper's loyalty.
It is this tragic past, and the deviation of faith and faith, that makes Arce firmly on the opposite side of the blasphemer.
After the tragedy of sixteen years ago, the Weepers and the Blasphemers have become mortal enemies.
This history sounds really impressive.
Therefore, what Jessie said before was not entirely correct, Calista was not the only witness to the tragedy of sixteen years ago, Arce was the one who knew best from beginning to end.
I'll have to talk to Arce if I have a chance.
But......
Robin frowned, with Arce's character of not speaking for ten thousand years, he didn't know if he could ask something.
"Oh, by the way, you said Calista's leg was disabled because of the events of sixteen years ago, what happened?" There was a look of confusion in Robin's eyes.
He originally thought that Calista had other reasons, such as a congenital disability or an acquired spinal disease.
Because during the previous bathing session, he did not find any scars on Calista's legs.
"I don't know." Gail shook his head, "Said to be cursed by Sirius. If you want to know, you can ask Raven-sama. β
Raven......
At the mention of the name, the corners of Robin's mouth twitched involuntarily.
It's weird to be able to get something useful out of that drunk's mouth.
"It is said that the situation of the Divine Envoy was very bad at the time, and according to Raven, the Divine Envoy's skin was bleeding all over his body, and no part of his body could be moved.
Even Dr. Matthew, the most famous doctor in the temple district, said that she would not live for two days.
Sirius's curse was terrifying, and Raven and President Flora paid a heavy price to break her curse.
This saved Calista's life.
It's just ......"
Gail didn't go on.
Robin already knew the results.
Calista survived, at the cost of her legs.
"Well, thank you Gail, for giving me another lot of interesting and useful history."
Robin stood up and ended today's conversation.
The red sunset in the distance stretched the figures of the two men diagonally.
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Gail."
"Tomorrow ......"
The other party was slightly stunned, and Gail looked at Robin with a shy smile in his eyes.
"See you tomorrow, Robin."
