"Brother!!
"Weh (pain)!!" Feng Longde felt a sudden pain in his chest and jumped out of his sleeping bag, then looked down at his chest, "Why is there nothing on my chest?!!!"
"Brother, you're finally awake. Caroline sat on her sleeping bag, her face slightly puzzled, "For half an hour, you have been screaming some meaningless idiots in your sleep, no matter how I scream, I can't wake you up, so I have to beat you and have nightmares?"
"It may be a nightmare, but it feels too real and too into the character. Feng Longde rubbed his messy hair, making it even more messy, "Let me tell you, you help me analyze and analyze." ”
Then Feng Longde recounted the strange and real dream in detail, and then frowned and said his opinion: " Now that I think about it, the feeling in that dream is like being in the perspective of the wandering knight himself, the dream is very discontinuous, and some time periods and details are missing in the middle, but the sense of reality is so strong that I can't forget the feeling of blood spraying on my body nowCaroline, is this dream the same as the dream that I was entangled for half a year before I met you, did you make it up?"
"That dream is only happening because the soul scan locks you on, and this dream has nothing to do with me. Caroline shook her head slowly, but then stared at Feng Longde and quickly asked, "Wait a minute, brother, you said that you observed the dream from the perspective of a wandering knight?"
"That's right. ”
"So, do you remember whose perspective you observed it from?, and what is his name?" Caroline's eyes sharpened, like an eagle staring at its prey on the ground, and she suddenly grabbed Feng Longde's shoulders and shook desperately while yelling, "Tell me, brother, what's your name!!"
"Herman! I'm Herman!!" was suddenly grabbed by Caroline's shoulder, Feng Longde was stimulated by the pain and subconsciously roared, and then he was stunned: "Wait Herman? I'm Feng Longde, isn't Herman the first immortal king you said?" But what I dreamed of was a fierce wandering knight!"
"Sure enough," she sighed in her soul, and then Caroline explained, "Brother, you are not dreaming, but a small part of your memory has been awakened - which means that you are the first immortal king, not just a mere descendant of blood. ”
"I'll you," Feng Longde felt a little bit out of his mind, "You mean, only 'Herman' will awaken his own memories of the past, and if he is just a simple descendant, he will not recall?"
"That's right. Caroline nodded, "Only the owner of the memory itself can awaken his own memories, and if he is only a descendant of the bloodline, he will not obtain these memories on his own." ”
Boom! Hearing Caroline's affirmative words, Feng Longde's soul was shocked.
If Caroline hadn't played with herself, and what he had experienced was Herman's memories, was she really Herman?
At first, he didn't deny it, it was just the psychology of an idiot who didn't touch the benefits that fell from the sky, but he didn't expect that this finally made him doubt himself.
This is a great impact on Feng Longde's self-awareness: he has lived with Feng Longde's knowledge for seventeen years, and suddenly one day, he realizes that he is very likely to be another person, which is not a direct denial of his previous life experience?
Why is it that there is not necessarily a single example of a person who has experienced this situation, but why has he experienced it? If it is because of the guidance of Herman's arrangement, and gradually leads him to grow, and finally reaches a certain suitable condition and then completely awakens, then has he not been working hard for others?
At least in Von Longde's current perception, Herman is a "person else".
Feng Longde's head was at a loss, and just when he had been in the middle of this contradiction and couldn't figure it out, Caroline's voice sounded:
"The souls of all descendants are doppelgangers of Herman's own soul, so brother, even if you don't recover your memories, you're still Herman, but you don't have as many memories, but your personality is exactly the same. Caroline looked at the stunned Feng Longde suspiciously, and said in surprise: "What distinguishes the soul is neither by the simple soul imprint, nor whether he is strong, nor by memory, but by his character and his own independent judgment about himself, otherwise if you copy all your memories into a computer, then that computer is 'Feng Longde'?"
Caroline's words flashed through Feng Longde's mind, and with a bang, it seemed to be a big hand that cleared the clouds, and suddenly made his soul clear.
Even if he is really Herman, even if those memories will gradually awaken in his soul in the future, his cognition has not changed at all, he is still the historical house who is keen on his hobby and wants to make himself stronger, so "Feng Longde" and "Herman" are at most just two names different.
Thinking of this, Feng Longde's soul was clear.
"My name, Feng Longde. Feng Longde solemnly reintroduced his name to Caroline.
Caroline saw the look of resistance, struggle and confusion on Feng Longde's face just now, and knew that his soul had been impacted, and Feng Longde's behavior was a powerless struggle, which made her more and more confident in the return of "Herman".
She smiled slightly, and followed Feng Longde's words and said, "I'm Caroline, my brother. ”
☆
After packing up their tents and summoning back the undead horses scattered around them as guards, it took only two hours for Von and Caroline to return to the camp.
However, along the way, there was silence between Feng Longde and Caroline, and there was no wave in even the soul connection - because they both had their own hearts.
Those memories born from dreams still had a great impact on Feng Longde, not only because the image of Herman wielding a knight's sword and iris shield to kill the enemy bravely in those memories seemed to be vivid, but also those killing techniques were simply exclusive combat skills tailored for Feng Longde.
Thinking about it carefully, there is no doubt that these memories are what Herman has experienced, and at that time he was not an immortal king, but more like a wandering knight wandering around begging for a living. Feng Longde recalled Herman's own limited words, and found that Herman's personality was more simple and clear than his own, and he didn't have as many brains or strange complaints, maybe it was because of the illusion caused by the lack of memory recovery?
Although it was a headache to think about, but soon, Feng Longde also left it behind: anyway, he couldn't sort out anything by himself with this memory now, and he also shared these memory fragments with Caroline in the soul connection, and it was best to leave the work of analyzing intelligence to her.
Feng Longde didn't need a headache, but Caroline's heart turned upside down.
After her brother told her about some things in the Enchanted Forest before leaving, Caroline judged that it was due to the hallucinogenic mist that could be seen everywhere in the Enchanted Forest, and her brother's soul and body were too tired that night, so it became the fuse for Feng Longde to recall some memory fragments.
However, these memories are of little more information than to give Caroline some insight into Herman's experiences before she met her—but the presence of the beautiful young wandering knight made her stunned for a moment before she returned to normal.
"Chrissy, how did you become a partner with Herman before?" Caroline muttered to herself silently in her soul, "but the style of the girls he knows has always been like this: fighting, fighting, and supporting each other, and perhaps only the most warlike Teutonic woman can get along with him." ”
☆
Silky white clouds floated faintly in the clear blue sky, and the winter snow began to clear up for several days.
In the camp, the pit had been dug by the Guards Knights to a depth of about ten meters and began to expand its surface area, and Caroline began to use her earth magic to solidify the surface of the bottom, and then let the Guards Knights continue to extend it in all directions.
The thirty undead horses had been pulled into the stables and kept their distance from the living ones so as not to frighten them, and some of the undead horses had been led out by the resting knights of the guard to ride around the camp, and they had begun to resume their equestrian training.
Feng Longde couldn't be idle: he had to reincarnate the fifty-three horse bones that Caroline threw out of the spatial ring into skeleton horses, and when his soul was weak, he fell asleep on his own, and then woke up and continued to sacrifice the soul fire to reincarnate skeleton horses.
As a result, in the past three days, Feng Longde basically survived in a mental state of being full of food, spitting and then eating, and the soul fire became more and more tenacious, and at the same time, he became numb to this kind of work that gave the corpse soul fire. In three days, in addition to all the knights of the Guard who rode the undead war horses, there were more than two dozen white bone skeletons covered with human skin and bast corpses that regained their living bodies.
These undead creatures, who looked like ordinary humans, were completely self-conscious, and without the restraint of Von Longde, Caroline, or the Knights of the Guard, they would only act on instinct, and it would be easy for them to cause trouble. Moreover, Feng Longde found that they were both male and female, both yellow and white, and even a black man, whose bodies were kept in the best shape because of the muscle-building technique—the last point was purely that these undead creatures had no clothes to wear at all!
This forced Feng Longde to take some of the guard knights on a trip to the earthly world, and bought some kimonos at the clothing store to put them on - if Wenwen, a gossipy tengu reporter, passed by one day and saw a group of naked humans digging a pit on the eastern shore of the Lake of Fog, she might be able to write a frenzied headline in Wenwen Shimbun the next day
Originally, Feng Longde originally planned to buy clothes from a clothing store opened by Germans, but finally gave up: bib pants and white shirts did not sell well in this Japanese-style village and town, and the inventory was almost non-existent, and it took time to make it ordered, so he could only take a large amount of kimonos to make a living first, and a group of undead creatures without self-consciousness did not need any national characteristics of their own.
These bone skeletons and phloem corpses may not be as efficient as the Guard Knights, but they are more and more numerous—Von Rond's only pastime now is to reincarnate more undead creatures from Caroline's human corpses, and they only need the necessary sleep time compared to the Guard Knights who need a longer period of rest and recreation, so to speak, they are almost humanoid machines that never stop.
From the time they first came to Gensokyo, Feng Longde and his party had been stationed here for ten days. During these ten days, more than 140 Bone Skeletons and Bast Corpse Witches replaced the Guards Knights as the main force digging the pit, and carried out the civil work with all kinds of tools in their hands without complaint.
More than a dozen of the best-preserved corpses were not resurrected but continued to be stored in Caroline's spatial ring, which Caroline used in an emergency, and Feng Longde began his combat training journey again after completing the task of reincarnating the undead.
"The axe's characteristic is that its curved blade surface can concentrate the lethality in one point, making it easier to break through the protection of metal helmets and metal armor. In a small field surrounded by stakes and hemp rope, Yarman wielded a one-handed battle axe with a shield in one hand and the other, and explained to Feng Longde, who was also holding a battle axe and a shield, "The structure of the battle axe hook can be used for a variety of tricks, such as hooking the opponent's ankles down, and can also hook other parts of the opponent's body, such as the neck; ”
As he spoke, Yarman swung his tomahawk and slashed over, Feng Longde subconsciously raised his shield, but the opponent's tomahawk changed directions and swung downwards on the way, and he fell directly on the spot after being hooked by his ankle.
"The twin tips of the tomahawk are also lethal weapons, slitting through bare throats and belly chests. Yarman stepped forward and grabbed Feng Longde's hand and pulled him up with a slight effort, "And the back of the tomahawk has a hammer-like shape, which can be used to stun opponents without being fatal, but there are also cases where this hammer can also be fatal - the strength is so strong that it can smash the skull." ”
"Another useful tomahawk trick is to act as a throwing axe, and even a shield rarely remains intact under the attack of the throwing axe. Yarman demonstrated a walking move to Feng Longde, and then said, "Of course, if you want to fight like this, only if you have other weapons." ”
Feng Longde nodded, and after Yarman had explained all the moves of the one-handed battle axe, he began to train from the most basic swinging and striking movements.
Maybe the combat skills of hand-to-hand combat are not comparable to the group of monsters flying in the sky like Gensokyo, but this is the only way for Feng Longde to improve his strength at present.
