Chapter 85: Glory and Duty
Dead...... It's been dead silence......
The last image of the memory is of a Goth soldier stabbing a sword in the abdomen. The feeling of pain www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion, consciousness is gone, and memory is blank.
I can't remember what happened after that......
When I woke up the second time, my mind seemed to be shackled, and my vision was blurred. Standing in front of me was the object of my allegiance, His Majesty Edmund, my King. There was also a man standing beside him, the embodiment of nightmares. My first meeting with Nightmare was in his hands churning in my empty belly, how can a man live without his guts?
I only remember that his voice was low and seductive, and his consciousness fell silent again.
When I woke up for the third time, I was already lying in the sarcophagus with no temperature in my body and no thoughts. I'm an undead...... I am also to guard His Majesty after death, and I am lucky compared to my brothers. I've already died once......
They will wake up in turn, and find themselves undead, the object of their former hatred. The glory of the knight is about to be dusted. All I can do is ...... Give them eternal sleep.
I remember that when the heroic knight Hamon first joined the Knights, he was just a child, and now he has also turned into a corpse. The old one-eyed knight who had always boasted that he had nine lives and would not die easily, and now he has also become a corpse. Our captain, the Knight of Glory, who had been so bold and fierce before, was now like a piece of carrion......
I can't purify them anymore, so let's devour them all. If I have to go to hell, let me go down alone......
I can't put hatred on the object of allegiance, because he has given us knightly glory, and now he is going to take it away, and I have no power to resist, the only thing I can do is to exchange my life for the last perseverance......
When all the soul power was mixed together, I couldn't go back, my soul burned, and my consciousness fell silent again......
This time, this time I wake up and I hope it's the last time......
……
After the successful use of the memory resuscitation, Buck stared nervously at the carrion, and he only speculated that since the other party was able to devour other souls, it meant that he had souls. Although I don't know the meaning of what he did, I believe it will have an effect on awakening the knight's memory.
A man who can give his life for everyone, so selfless and selfless. Just take a gamble, even if he becomes an undead creature, he still has the heart of a knight.
The carrion shook his head and stood up, he was not very stable, his consciousness returned to his body for the first time, and his movements were a little uncoordinated.
He hoarsely said, "Who are you?" "Fortunately, the vocal cords are not completely rotten, and he can still make sounds, otherwise it would be very inconvenient to communicate.
Buck replied warily, "Adventurers who have come to the aid of the descendants of Edmund, are you going to stop us?" ”
Instead of answering, he continued to ask, "Descendants of the king?" Has the king's time passed? ”
Helway couldn't help but say, "Edmund has been dead for hundreds of years......"
"I've been asleep for so long......"
He was silent for a while, then looked up, "I have a request...... Kill me while I'm still conscious. ”
This abrupt request caused a silence, and the ants still spared their lives, and those who were generally willing to turn into undead creatures were extremely attached to life before they died.
"Why?" Buck asked.
The rotting corpse monster tossed his sword aside, indicating that he was harmless. "Because it's a relief for me......"
"Edmund made you like this?"
"It doesn't matter......"
"Well, I'll grant your request." Buck agreed, and he could guess Edmund's plan, which was not uncommon. This method was used by the royal family and even some of the great nobles, turning their loyal guards into undead creatures after death.
It's just that I didn't figure out one thing, that is, as usual, a team of undead creatures was the only one left here, why would he devour the souls of other knights? These knights were his comrades-in-arms during their lifetimes.
"The other burial chambers ......," Buck asked.
The rotting corpse monster immediately replied, his already stiff face twitching slightly, and a trace of pain flashed: "Yes, I devoured their souls. Apparently not wanting to dwell too much on this issue, he directly stated the answer, "Because only in this way will their souls be clean, and they will die at the hands of the undead...... That undead creature is me. ”
Saying it all made him feel a lot more relaxed, "After I became an undead creature, I lost the ability to purify...... That's the only thing I can do. ”
"Maybe that's not what Edmund wants......" Buck said.
"So I am no longer me, and the knights loyal to the king died in the final battle of the Broken Queen...... Now I'm just a heinous murderer......"
He looked at Buck calmly, "Now, I beg you to kill me......"
"This is the fate of knights...... My destiny is to sacrifice ......"
"It's going to be faster...... My consciousness seemed to dissipate......" He drew his sword from the ground and cut off his own head. The rotting head flew up, and the soul flame in the eye socket was still not extinguished.
Now it's up to me to put an end to this tragedy. Buck jumped to his feet and snuffed out the flames in his skull.
He was completely relieved and would not wake up again this time. He had no choice, and there was only one way left for him: to die with honor; As for living by the grain, there is no such option in his creed.
Walking out of the tomb, Helway asked curiously, "He was a knight when he was alive, so why didn't he choose to become a bone knight after he died?" and became a low-level undead creature like a rotting corpse. "She's well-informed, and she doesn't understand why she shouldn't choose a stronger one when there's a better option?
Buck replied, "Is there a difference between a Bone Knight and a carrion?" ”
"Of course it's different! One challenge level from level 15, one challenge level from level 10......"
Buck interrupts Helway's explanation, "It's all the same to him, it's all undead...... "The bard is very knowledgeable, but when it comes to being insightful, knowledge is only part of it.
"Is it true that Edmund was so ruthless that he turned all the knights loyal to him into undead creatures and continued to serve him?" Helway still doesn't want to believe that this legendary figure depicted in history has this side.
Buck sighed: "Rather than pity that he is as great as him, there is still this side; It's more that it was his ruthlessness that made him great......"
