Chapter Twenty-Nine: Davis's Choice
(No) it's definitely a trap, Sophia, don't fool Joyka and object immediately
Sophia bowed her head and said nothing, she gently played with the half of the handkerchief with her left hand
Maybe it's just an ordinary dream, Sophia, you don't have to think too much about it, Cassius tried to comfort Sophia
Early this morning, Sophia summoned everyone over, and she told them about the true dream of last night
Cassius Joyka, you have a point, maybe it's just a day and a night, maybe it's just a trap, but I think it's okay to go and see that place, because the town that Sophia said in her dream is really there, and Julian took out a map and spread it out in front of everyone
After yesterday's fierce battle, under the introduction of Cassius, Julian and Sophia, who arrived later, Joyka and the two met Julian, learned more about Owen from two new friends, and Sophia and Joika learned about Julian and Owen's past as Ji You's uncle, and the five young men and women present were more or less connected to Owen, it was Owen who brought them together, although Julian was a nobleman, he did not call himself a nobleman, but treated Cassius and several of their commoner-born companions differently, of course, Sophia was the same, so the partners quickly accepted Julian as one of them, maybe it was because of this that Julian and Owen became the best friends back then
The town was here, Julian pushed the map on the table and pointed to a place on the map, and the other four people all surrounded it, and last year because of the Yan zhòng mudslide, the townspeople died and fled, so the town was deserted, and now it is like a dead city, and we are here, and the town of Gerveva Castle is 200 kilometers north of it, which is in line with what Sophia heard in her dream
There really is such a place, so it is not an ordinary dream, Cassius scratched his head and overturned his original opinion
If it's not a dream, it's definitely a trap, and Joyka's view is rather pessimistic
Why must it be a trap Sophia was very dissatisfied with Joika's words could this voice not be the one who helped us that day when we were in the tavern that day this voice saved us both once, don t you forget
Of course, Joyka knew which time, but at this time, facing Sophia with a stern expression, he chose to look elsewhere and simply did not speak, so as to avoid a head-on confrontation with her
However, Sophia's words caused some of the others present to be concerned, and Cassius suddenly remembered something important: I remembered that when Ray, Julian, and I met in the Phantom Valley, there was indeed a voice in my head, alerting me that there was an enemy nearby, and then the necromancer Raqilu really appeared, and as he spoke, he turned his gaze to Julian and Ray
There is such a thing, Julian thought for a moment and replied, "At that time I thought I was the only one who heard it, but I didn't expect you all to hear it."
Ray also nodded
It's something that has to be noticed, a bit like the 'telepathy' in composite magic," Cassius said
Then there was silence again
There's no conclusion to the discussion, right, Sophia broke the silence first, so I think we should go to that place and have a look, maybe we'll find the answer when we find Owen
What about finding Owen, he has changed, Owen is no longer the Owen he used to be, do you think he is still our childhood friend, after Joika shouted this sentence, he found that eight eyes were aimed at him in unison, staring at this bohemian bounty hunter extremely unnaturally
You're right, Owen is no longer my friend, and Julian suddenly looked at the sword to his right
Julian, how can you say that, Cassius is in a hurry
Rather, my brother is always Julian, and he raised the sword on his left again, and the two swords intersected
With Julian's statement, Cassius also showed his attitude: You are right, although we don't know what happened to Owen, but I also believe him......
Did you Joika look at Julian and then at Cassius, did you really decide?
I also went, maybe after I went, I would find my memory of ten years of loss, and Ray, who had been silent, finally spoke, and Joika and Sophia learned from Cassius about Ray's sudden loss of memory
Joyka looked at Sophia in an attempt to make a final exhortation: Sophia, you have to think clearly, our strength is very different from the enemy, and now our strongest combat power is no longer there, if it is really a trap, maybe no one can come back alive, and the strongest combat power that Joyka said refers to the highest-ranking archbishop among them, McLeck, however, this middle-aged uncle is precisely because of his strength, so he has been taken care of by the enemy, although Sophia has used magic to help him heal his external injuries, but his injuries are too severe, and he has been invaded by the dark power, so he has been unconscious, Julian had to order his seven subordinates to escort the archbishop to the church in a nearby big city, and only the senior priest of the church can cure him
Sophia nodded without hesitation
Joyka, since everyone has decided to go, where do you go, Julian walked up to Joyka and kindly extended his right hand
Well, since you have all made such a choice, Joyka shrugged her shoulders and smiled, then if I don't go, I will definitely be a coward, looking at everyone's determined expressions, Joyka reached out her right hand and shook Julian's hand
Let's go together, Ray also stood up and put his hand on Julian and Joica's
Be sure to find Owen Sophia and put her hand down as well
I got the antidote to save Frey's fat hand and put it down
The five right hands were clasped tightly together
I was also going to the door, and suddenly there was a voice, and all five people in the room were startled
Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in, it scared us all to death, and Joika, who was standing directly across the door, frowned
This is my home, where I want to go, do I still have to knock on the door, and the people at the door are not to be outdone
The others looked towards the door of the room and saw Davis Gveva standing in full Legion Knight armor, holding a fighting spear in his right hand and a longsword in his left
Do you want to go too, Julian asked this former enemy
Of course, I want to avenge my family and all the people in the castle, and destroy the big devil, Davis said it in no uncertain terms, and his brow showed an unprecedented fighting spirit
But what's the use of you going, all the people here are better than you, and the five of us go together and don't have a full chance of winning, plus why are you cumbersome, Joika's words have always been so bitter
But he provoked Davis, completely angry, listen, I am the only one who hurt the big devil, this is my strength, Davis is very excited, look, this sword still has the blood of this devil on it
Before he could finish speaking, Davis threw the sword in his hand to the ground
Julian picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground, and it was indeed stained with some blood, when Julian walked up to Davis
Are you really going to go, Julian asked sternly
Needless to say, if your whole family is killed, you won't go to revenge, Davis is quite serious
But have you ever wondered why your family died, and why everyone in the castle died?
This...... Julian's words cut to the crux of the matter, and Davis was speechless to know the answers to both questions, but he was unable to speak at this point, and Davis hung his head in shame
Yes, I can understand Julian's desire for revenge, and put his hand on Davis's shoulder, but what happens after you take revenge, your dead father is still infamous in the mouths of the people, and your family will leave a permanent stain on history, which you can wash away if you go to revenge
Shut up, don't insult my father, Julian's words greatly stirred Davis's mind, and he grabbed Julian's chest by the garment, and with the other hand cocked a fighting spear to Julian's throat
Stop, at this critical moment, the other four people in the room shouted loudly
You apologize immediately, apologize to my father and family, or I will kill you immediately, Davis, in a fit of rage, his eyes bloodshot red, and he uttered a deadly threat word by word
Laying down his weapon, a Mithril alloy longsword and a crimson spear pressed against Davis's neck at the same time, the tension on the scene could turn into bloodshed at any time
You said that I insulted your father, unexpectedly, Julian, who was in extreme danger, did not change his face, he was not intimidated by Davis's death threats, I will not apologize, because I didn't say anything at all, I missed anything, think about it yourself, did your father and family really be insulted by whom, and what is the reason why your family will have such an ending, and who provoked the necromancer back, Davis, I thought that after a day and a night of reflection, you will change, it seems that I overestimated you
Ah--I don't want you to go on any more, Davis's eyes were round, and he looked like he was going to eat people, and he dared to talk nonsense, are you really not afraid of death, and the fighting spear was sent forward half a centimeter, and there was blood on Julian's neck
Stab it, although it is easy to stab this spear, and I will die immediately, but what can you get after stabbing it, can the stigma of your family and father be washed away, although his neck is bruised, Julian's tone is still calm, Lei, Joyka, you put away your weapons, this is a matter between me and him, and the others don't have to be involved
Ray and Joyka made eye contact with each other for a moment, and then tacitly withdrew their spears and swords, and Julian's attitude and expression told them that he would handle the matter very satisfactorily, and since the parties were so confident, they didn't have to say anything
Davis's chest rose and fell very violently, and the hand holding the spear trembled, and Julian's words made him unable to do so, and Julian grabbed the handle of the spear tightly with his hand, and the spear, which was still shaking just a moment ago, settled down at once
What's the matter, didn't you say you were going to kill me, didn't have the courage to do it, or didn't have the courage to face the responsibility you cope, Julian slowly pulled the fighting spear away
Davis put away his fighting spear and took a step back, he pointed at Julian with his finger: "Say what's your name?"
Julian Rousseau
Okay, I remember the name, I'll definitely come back to you
I waited
Then Davis turned around and ran out of the hallway, and a minute later, through the glass window of the room, everyone saw Davis running out of the castle with his fighting spear in his hand
Julian, did you just say too much, Cassius, who was frightened by the moment, asked
It doesn't matter, he always makes his own choice
This little turmoil has passed for the time being
The five companions, each busy, Cassius and Sophia, seized the time to rest to regain their mental strength, Julian and Ray carefully wiped their swords and spears, and Joeka silently made enough bows and arrows
Four hours later, as soon as they were ready, the companions left the half-collapsed castle of Gveva, and the group found a large wooden box, put the huge ice that sealed Frey inside, and Julian carried the wooden box, and they set out on the road north
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind, and from far and near, the companions looked behind them, and saw sixteen heavily armed cavalry rushing towards them at full speed, led by Davis, who had left after the recent clash with Julian
Sixteen horsemen surrounded Julian and them
Davis, what do you want to do, in the face of the ill-intentioned Davis and his cavalry, the people who were surrounded in the middle made a fighting posture one after another, except for Julian who was unable to draw his sword because he was carrying a huge ice, Ray crossed the spear, Joey Cara had a bow and arrow, Cassius had a water element gathered at the top of his staff, and even Sophia drew two short swords
A cavalryman who looked like an adjutant pointed his horsewhip at the six Julians who were surrounded and said to Davis beside him: Is it them, the second young master
Yes, a few of them, Davis stared at the people in the middle and replied coldly
Davis, is this your choice, Julian asked
Hmph, Davis waved his fighting spear and said to Julian, who was surrounded, and said to them, Don't let any of you leave alive today.
