"Legend has it that the hero's squire actually serves as a janitor for others, do you really think of yourself as a slave of the Carter family?"

The so-called wine strengthens people's courage, because I have drunk a hundred years of good wine, and I am in a very bad mood, unconsciously, I have fallen into a state of biting whoever is unhappy, and even ignores the fact that Achilles can slap me to death.

"Your words, very presumptuous," Achilles said angrily, taking a deep breath, his eyes blazing, and clenching his fists again, his nails digging into his flesh, hoping to kill me with one punch.

I ignored the bowstring-like tension, still drinking to myself, still squinting at him.

In the afterglow, the little red fish shook his head and secretly wiped his sweat.

This is, cold sweat?

Was he scared?

Well, one should be scared too.

In the face of life and death, who is not afraid?

However, is it useful to be afraid?

"Achilles," I said, "are you willing?" ”

"What?"

Doubts grew in Achilles' angry gaze.

"You should be more than a minion," I said, "Carter Adams, your master, the embodiment of passion and justice, a hero who yearns for freedom, am I right?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

After being praised for his master, Achilles' frosty complexion finally eased a little, but it was still ugly.

"What I want to say is, do you remember when you were loyal to Carter Adams?"

Achilles' body trembled, his face froze, anger with doubt, anger with confusion.

A little, he muttered to himself, "My original intention...... My original intention ......"

This is what the High Priest told me about Carter Adams and Achilles.

At that time, the high priest was famous, but Carter Adams was a hot-blooded stunned young man.

He loves to laugh, make trouble, love to drink, and is a young man with no scheming at all.

At that time, he regarded the high priest as a mother-in-law for divination, and went to the door to ask for marriage, but was almost thrown out of the street.

However, he persevered.

Finally, the high priest saw him.

The high priest told him that his marriage was ordinary, that it would not be unhappy, and that it would be difficult to be happy.

Adams was disappointed, but in a few seconds, he picked himself up again and asked the High Priest if he would have a good brother, a good kind, the kind of friend of life and death.

The high priest said yes, but not now.

The high priest also said that whether or not you are friends with life and death depends on your heart and your original intention.

A few years later, the dungeon monsters broke through the portal, rushed into the town, and slaughtered wantonly, and the inhabitants of the Zephyr Continent were in danger, and the survival of humanity was even in jeopardy.

Carter Adams and hundreds of other top powerhouses gather many adventurers to declare war on the monsters that are slaughtering wantonly.

In the first battle, the human race won completely, and when the victory was being celebrated, the monster took advantage of the night and launched the second battle.

Humanity failed miserably.

Achilles was just an ordinary adventurer at the time, and when he was about to be decapitated by a monster, Adams saved him.

Since then, Achilles has followed Adams.

Not only because of the grace of saving lives, but also because of the original intention to follow.

Carter Adams' original intention was simple: peace and freedom.

"Killing foreigners, causing disputes, looking at the ruins around here, thinking about the chaos and madness during this period, is all this considered peace?"

"Constantly driven, constantly being drunk, being a bodyguard, being a doorman, only at night, only after drinking your people to sleep, do you finally have your own time, have your own breath, is this considered freedom?"

"Maybe you think that all this is still in line with the original intention, but in my opinion, you have betrayed yourself, betrayed Carter Adams, betrayed the original intention, and now you are not a human being, but a tool, a thoughtless, hated tool."

Achilles' eyes were fixed on me, his gaze full of uncontrollable anger, but at the same time, mixed with confusion and emptiness.

"Carter Scott," he said, taking a deep breath, "he's a descendant of Adams, and I can feel the similarity of their bloodlines." ”

"But he's not Carter Adams" stood up, and I looked at him too: "They just have the same bloodline, but they are not the same person, and besides, not only Carter Scott, the Lord of Ari City, the eldest young master, Carter Rodney, Carter Eva, and even the cousins of the Carter family, they all have Adams blood, they are all descendants of Adams, can you do all of them allegiance?" ”

Achilles' eyes flickered.

"You can't, do you know why?" I said lightly, "Because they're not Carter Adams." ”

"There's only one real Carter Adams, but he's dead."

"No, he's not dead, he's not ......"

"Recognize the reality, he is dead, you watched him die with your own eyes."

"No, it's not like that, he's not dead, he's just ......"

"Oh, I'm sorry" raised my hand to stop him, and I said, "You said he wasn't dead, and that's right, after all, you didn't see his body with your own eyes, well, just assume he's not dead." ”

"I ask you," I said, "If one day, Adams sees you alive, do you think he will be happy after witnessing all this?" ”

"I'm going to protect his children, I swear," Achilles said in a deep voice, his voice a little heavy, a little weak.

"You've done it," I said, "at least, until you were awakened, you had been protecting his child until he died, until you were sent together into Adams's clothed grave." ”

"When he was alive, you protected him very well, even in the face of dozens of dangerous assassinations, he was still safe and sound, even unharmed, and he didn't even know that anyone wanted to kill him" After taking a sip of wine, I continued: "It is because of this that this prosperous town and this grand country are here! ”

"Now, what you are facing and protecting is only the people who have the blood of Adams, do you know that what you should really protect is not only the blood, but also the original intention of Adams."

"Original intention...... "Is there any descendant of Adams who has such an original intention?" ”

"A lot, perhaps," I nodded, "but I only know one." ”

"Who?" Achilles' gaze regained its light again.

"Carter Rodney."

"He is dead," Achilles said, "he was assassinated in the city of Dasai." ”

"Who told you?"

The Dasai City Daily" Achilles added: "And the Ari City Daily. ”

"Did you see the body?"

"The daily newspaper says ......"

"I ask you, have you seen the body?" Gazing at Achilles, I approached Achilles and said, "Have you seen Carter Rodney's corpse with your own eyes?" ”

Achilles was silent for a moment and said, "No." ”

"You didn't see Carter Adams' body, and you wouldn't believe he was dead, so why do you say Carter Rodney is dead?"

"You mean, he's not dead?!"

Achilles' eyes widened, with surprise and surprise in his eyes.
