Chapter Seventy-Eight: An Unbearable Burden

"What's the point of you doing this?!"

Even if the enemy was right in front of him, even if the right hand holding the short sword became numb and painful from the impact just now, even if his body was filled with the exhaustion of mana caused by excessive consumption, Xu Shuo still couldn't help but say something to Lilian immediately, and all his worries and regrets turned into anger at this moment.

"If you think the family is a shackle, just break free from it! Do you have the courage to die, but you don't dare to face your own heart?! ”

Lilian looked at Xu Shuo's sad and angry appearance, and her brows were unconsciously squeezed together.

"Mr. Xu Shuo is a stupid person, you don't understand at all, what kind of mood and consciousness I am standing here!"

The Minotaur didn't just watch the lively crowd eating melons, and while the two were talking, it swung its axe again and slashed at the two of them.

"Clams? What stupid things to say, is it your consciousness to die stupidly like this? Xu Shuo said as he quickly pressed Lilian's head, and the black axe of the minotaur slashed over the top of the two of them's heads, leaving a deep mark on the wall beside them.

Xu Shuo grabbed the gap between the Minotaur attack and swayed, grabbed Lilian's hand and began to run wildly.

But the two didn't run far before they caught up, and the burden on Xu Shuo's body caused by the exhaustion of mana was not ordinarily heavy, although the short sword helped him recover a small amount of mana, but it was obviously far from enough.

"You go first!" Xu Shuo pushed Lilian away, and turned to face the two menacing minotaurs.

Lilian was pushed down by Xu Shuo's push, but she didn't care at all, but crawled to the wall closest to her, sat down with her knees hugged, and didn't look at Xu Shuo and the Minotaur, looking like she had no desire to survive.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, you won't understand...... Lilian said in a trembling voice, "The Wink family is something that my father has painstakingly managed so far, my father is the only person who has truly loved me for so many years, as long as I live, I must protect the family he left behind!" This is my duty, Liliam Wink, that I must follow! However, I ......"

Lillian Wink, in her sixteen years of life to the present, has been living carefully, at the age of five, in the small chatter of the maid and the butler, she knew her true identity - she was a commoner picked up by Adam Wink, so she did not dare to be willful, she did not dare to play petty, she was afraid of those strange eyes and voices.

"Ah, sure enough, it's the descendants of the common people, and they don't have the demeanor of a noble daughter at all."

"What's so good about this stinky little ghost, is the blood in his body nobler than mine?"

She tried to pretend she didn't know, keeping an eye on her words and actions.

Because she is the eldest lady, she must not be as casual as a girl from an ordinary family, she must be as beautiful and elegant as a canary; And because she is not the eldest lady, she must not be as arrogant as a true nobleman, and she must treat the servants around her equally and prudently.

Only in front of her father, she didn't need to be so tired, and her father always gave her love without hesitation, spoiling her like his own daughter, and in her opinion, her father was the only one who loved her. So when no one else is present, she can be like a girl to her father and make some small wishes.

Although her father was sometimes very strict and did not allow her to go outside casually, nor did she allow her to make friends casually, she believed that her father loved her and did it just to protect her, so she didn't care.

But one day, my father died.

The only person in the world who loved her died.

She had to protect the family that her father had left behind, and she made up her mind that day when she looked at the portrait of her father in the room.

But when Xu Shuo said the word "shackles", she suddenly realized what she was carrying.

It was too heavy to bear, but it couldn't be freed.

"I was terrified just by imagining alone Uncle Herschel, Young Master Bron, and the manor without my father...... However, if you don't do that, you won't be able to do that, and if you don't protect my father's family, I'll ......."

"After listening to you for a long time, I finally understood what you wanted to say......" Xu Shuo raised his short sword towards the minotaur, "In other words, you don't actually want to inherit the Wenke family, but you feel that inheriting the family is your own obligation, and if you don't do it, you will be sorry for your dead father, but just now, you found that the matter of inheriting the family brought you much more confusion than you imagined, so you decided to die, so that it would not violate morality and not have to endure pain, is that so?" There are so many slots that I don't know where to spit out......"

"In Mr. Xu Shuo's opinion, maybe it's ridiculous." Lilian smiled bitterly, "If I were as strong as Mr. Xu Shuo, I don't think I would be so troubled." ”

"Powerful?" When he said this, Xu Shuo was embarrassed to dodge an axe blow from the minotaur with a tumbling, "Me? ”

"Yes, I noticed when dealing with the thorny wolf, even if Mr. Xu Shuo was seriously injured, when he was facing death, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, and he did not give up fighting back until the end. This inner strength is what I admire and what I desire. If I can be as strong as Mr. Xu Shuo, what else do I have to fear? Lilian said, "Or, even if my heart is not as strong as Mr. Xu Shuo, if my strength is strong enough, my father will not die......"

Xu Shuo tried to go around behind the two minotaurs, trying to attack the popliteal fossa behind the opponent's knee with a short sword, but the two minotaurs blocked the tunnel to the brim, and there was no gap for Xu Shuo to bypass them.

So Xu Shuo turned his focus on the eyes of the two minotaurs, and without magic skills, he could only seek victory by attacking the vulnerable places of the minotaurs.

But unlike before, when Xu Shuo dodged an axe blow again, jumped up in the right gap and wanted to attack the opponent's eyes with his short sword, the other minotaur grabbed his calf with great speed as if he had been on guard, and threw him against the wall in the distance before Xu Shuo could resist.

Xu Shuo's back slammed into the rock wall, and this time it hurt as if his internal organs were out of place, and he couldn't even hold the short sword and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Xu Shuo!" Lilian originally looked lifeless, but now her eyes widened suddenly, she never thought that Xu Shuo would lose so easily at the hands of the Minotaur.
