Chapter X: Decisions

No matter how Ed evaluates the world in his heart at this time, in the eyes of most people in this land, this qiē is a matter of course, only those who have power have the right to speak, as an ordinary person, without the power of awakening, they can only be at the mercy of others, how can there be ideas such as democracy without equal power.

Andre noticed that Ed was distracted, glared at him fiercely, and continued: "There are knights of Ingier in our village, and it is very likely that there are already enemy troops near Ovarei City, in order to avoid trouble, the three of us can skip the main road and go directly to the rear to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for your father to take the avenue to Ovare, according to you?" Eddard asked, noticing this.

"They brought chariots and horses, and a lot of mercenaries to go together, they couldn't take the trail, but Ovareh City is not comparable to a small village like ours, as a large city in the Roland Kingdom, even if a whole knight order leads 100,000 people to attack, it can hold on for more than a month, not to mention that there are several permanent defensive fortresses outside the city, and dozens of knights are stationed in turn, so Ovareh will definitely be safe for a long time!"

It can be seen that André is very proud of the city where he has lived for a few years, and perhaps he was still looking forward to joining the city defense after becoming a knight.

Neither Delia nor Ed had ever been to a big city, and the description of André could only be longed for.

If you follow Andre's plan to follow the path, Delia has traveled through the nearby mountains and forests as a shepherdess, and it is easy to find the most suitable path, they will first go south into the mountains, and then take a mountain path directly to the rear, which is hidden and safe.

The discussion was decided, and the three of them went their separate ways to prepare, and Andre used his power to give Ed some keys and let him go to the war reserve to select the supplies he needed along the way.

Ed took the key, he still remembered that he had been here the night before, but several doors were locked, and he also picked up the treasure of the Rose Spear in the last house, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to choose one house by one today, and he was very happy to go.

Sending Ed away, André turned and returned to the stone chamber alone, still with some questions in his mind.

Delia didn't have much to pack up, and after a while, she had already laid her baggage, sat on the stone bench safely, and saw Andre say hello naturally, she didn't seem to be surprised that the village chief's son was gone and returned.

André hesitated to say what he was about to say, he quietly looked at the face of the girl in front of him, even in his opinion, the other party's outstanding appearance was rare even in the city of Auare, it was hard to imagine that this was a shepherdesss girl from the mountains.

"Before, you said that you wanted to use my power, but now the boy who saved the village in your prophecy is not me, and I am just an unlucky person who missed the enlightenment ceremony, and I don't have knightly strength at all, did the god in your mouth give you a false revelation, or did you make a mistake yourself?"

Andrei almost squeezed out of his mouth to say these words.

Missing the initiation ritual and not being able to attain knightly strength has always been an eternal scar in his heart, and it has not healed half of it with time.

After returning from Auvaré, André took the place of his older father to exercise the power to manage the commoners, due to the inaction of the old lord, he could completely instruct ordinary people to do anything in the name of knights, and his life in the past few years has touched him greatly, because of the inequality of power, there are extremely large differences between social classes, so after his own knightly dream was shattered, the whole person became more eager for power.

At this moment, he was really afraid to know the affirmative answer from the other party's mouth, Delia She was indeed mistaken for a while, you Andre is simply an ordinary guy, and God doesn't need a powerless waste to save the world.

"No, it is you who is at fault, do not be cranky and doubt yourself in your heart, God's instructions are not wrong. It's just that you can't see it, there are huge powers lurking in your body, and now all you lack is the way to use them, follow God's guidance, I swear that one day, you will have the moment to bloom into your own glory!"

Delia stood up and walked in front of Andre, and the young man involuntarily lowered his body at this time, waiting for the other party's affirmation with a humble attitude.

Without disappointing him, the girl took the place of God and dispelled the doubts in Andrei's mind in an unquestionable tone.

Indeed, it's not like Ed, who hasn't learned the cultivation of psionic energy, and the power of psionic energy that he has exercised since he was a child has always been latent in his body, but he can't be activated because he missed the enlightenment ceremony.

Andrei nodded, his heart settled a lot, and he left the stone chamber with the rest of his doubts.

As long as there is a way to regain strength, whatever he can do to help Delia, whether it is to quell the war or stir up strife. The girl's words rekindled hope in his heart.

Soon, the appointed time came, and the three gathered at the head of the village to prepare for departure.

To Ed's disappointment, he didn't find much in it, and the few locked houses were full of food and other supplies, and he took a lot of them, enough to eat for many days even if he got lost in the mountains.

Most of the land on this continent is extremely fertile, and ordinary people can get a rich harvest from nature as long as they work hard, and there is never a shortage of food in disaster or good years.

This is also a problem that bothers Eddard, unlike the original world information provided in the inscription, the magnates here are not fighting for fertile land or more people, and it seems that the war is just a game of power in their hands.

Ed's thoughts are not unnecessary and disease-free**, with further understanding of the world, continuous thinking about social classes, the completion of collecting world information given by the Mind Seal is also slowly rising, and now that percentage is still very inconspicuous, but Ed has a hunch that when this progress reaches a certain level, the Mind Mark will be able to give Ed more help with the information collected.

Quietly without alarming others, the three of them left the small village with their own hopes and goals.

Ed walked at the end, and couldn't help but glance back at this place where he had come, silently thinking about something in his heart.

The world has just unfolded in front of me, and I don't think I'll ever come back to this starting place!

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people, and soon, he will find out that he is wrong.

According to the plan, they drove for half a day, and entered the mountains before dark, and found many traces left by the retreat of the Ingier soldiers along the way, several seriously wounded corpses were buried shallow beside the road, and the scavengers that smelled were dug out and torn apart.

Delia found a natural cave halfway up the mountain, far away from the road.

The fragments of the corpse that I had just seen on the side of the road made everyone lose their ability to eat, and even though Ed had prepared a lot of food, he only ate a few bites hastily, and everyone decided to rest early.

Due to the relatively hidden cave selected, after Diliya simply arranged a few warning traps with her experience of living in the mountains, the three of them hastily did not arrange a vigil.

Ed lay on the outermost side, wrapped in a warm blanket, and the cold mountain breeze became a breeze blowing in his face, and he could vaguely see the stars outside the cave entrance.

The boy struggled to remember but found that he couldn't remember the details of his life in the original world, maybe it was the hands and feet of the person who threw him here, maybe it was the less important information that was lost in the void during the journey.

The imprint in his heart provides him with a lot of knowledge of the original world, class structure, science and technology, and some skills and experience, etc., as long as he calms down and thinks about it, he can get relevant information, but what is related to himself is a blank, who threw himself into this world and arranged a task for him, and is there any relatives waiting for him over there?

Remembering the sound of gentle breathing, Ed closed his slightly moist eyes, forced himself to put aside these doubts, and slowly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Ed, who was sleeping in a daze, vaguely saw his parents in a dream, and was gently shaken awake.

When she opened her eyes, it turned out that Deria was leaning over beside her, and she made a silent gesture to Edby, pointing to the hole.

Ed followed the gesture and looked over to find Andre also up, lying on his stomach at the entrance of the cave and looking out at something.

Is it a beast? The vibration from the ground broke Ed's guess for a moment, and the person who could cause the cave to shake on this scale must be a super giant guy, it should not be possible to appear in such a place, but it is a bit like an army marching.

Ed motioned for Deria to understand and followed her towards the hole, and by the moonlight he confirmed his suspicions.

A cavalry contingent was speeding down the mountain road from which they had come, and it was evident that these soldiers were well-trained, and even on the rugged paths at night, they still restrained the horses from advancing in an orderly and rapid manner.

When Ed woke up, the team was already halfway through, and by the moonlight, he looked at both ends, and the number of people was probably in the thousands.

The three men in the cave waited nervously for a while, until the army reached Guò, the enemy did not find them, and the mountain road was calm again.

Andre stepped back and pulled the two of them to discuss in a still cautious whisper: "There should only be Inghir people in our vicinity on such a large scale, and I vaguely see that the flag does not look like Roland's. ”

"Indeed, there is a banner painted on it that is the same as the Ingier troops who invaded our village before, I saw it. "Ed's current body has been engraved and transformed, and he has actually surpassed Andre, and his eyes are better than the other party.

"Look at the direction, this team is heading towards our village, but it's definitely too late for us to rush back to inform us, what do you think?"

André thought that their own team must have left by this time, so there was no need for him to go back and fight hard, so he asked his companions for advice.

Ed also felt that going back at this time was just hitting a stone with an egg, and the three of them had no ability to stop the enemy at all, and going back rashly was just sending them to death, so he nodded and agreed with Andre's statement.

"Lord Bandi has been killed, and the rest of the people in the village are definitely not the opponents of this cavalry, and since the other party has sent troops again, it is likely that there are knights in the team, and we can't watch the people in the village die. ”

Delia obviously couldn't accept that she was here to see a qiē and do nothing, even if she knew that she was invincible, she wanted to do her best, and if she allowed the villagers to die like this, it would be a heavy blow to her mission.

Andrei knew this, but he still tried to convince the girl: " You see, the Ingirs have just failed and sent a stronger team than before, I think this is very unusual, according to the previous speculation, the villagers should have several days to flee for refuge, I don't know what caused the Ingil army to march and attack all night at any cost, but since the other side has done this, we can't do anything, Delia, you don't have to take responsibility for the enemy's unconventional combat behavior, the enemy's actions are unpredictable. ”

Listening to her companion's words, Delia was silent, and although the girl knew that what Andre said was right, she still felt a lot of struggle in her heart.

Seeing the girl unconsciously biting her lip with her teeth, not even knowing that she was biting and bleeding, and still frowning her brows tightly and unable to extricate herself, Ed felt a little unbearable, so he said:

"Pray to the God you believe in, and perhaps He will give you help and comfort. ”

Only Ed himself knows the identity imprinted on Delia, the son of the plane, the strongest title holder is often accompanied by miracles, and it is not wrong to ask her to ask her god for help at this time.

Unexpectedly supported by her companions, Delia's frowning brow furrowed slightly, she glanced at Ed gratefully with slightly teary eyes, then turned and walked out of the cave, bathed in the white moonlight, half-kneeling, and put her hands on her chest to pious prayer to the gods.

Andre shrugged helplessly, he approached Ed, and the two of them looked at the girl's perfect figure in the soft moonlight.

"You shouldn't encourage her, let's go back, we can't do anything but see the tragic situation of the villagers being slaughtered, and if she does anything to send her to death, you will be fully responsible!"

Andre's heart is harder than the other two, because his experience is more bumpy, and now he regrets a little that he listened to Ed's Jian yì and came out with Delia, even if this little girl really has God's help, she herself is just a child who is not deeply involved in the world, you must know that soft-hearted people can't survive in troubled times!

"No matter what the result is, it's time to give it a try, if a person can always see the obstacles in front of him and decide to do nothing, his dream will never become a reality, besides, I have confidence in Delia!"

Ed said that, but in his heart he also felt that the cruel truth was more able to make people grow, he would control Delia from doing stupid acts when necessary, and in the face of tragedy, if Delia can't accept and grow, how can he deserve the title of son of the upper plane?

"I hope so!" said Andre smugly.

Soon Delia had finished her prayer and received the answer to her question from her own god, and when she faced the two of them again, she didn't have to say a word, and the determined look in her eyes alone explained the choice she had made.

"God will not give up on anyone, let's go back and save as many people as possible!" At this time, the girl's mind was full of indomitable determination like a spit out words, and she made a seemingly stupid decision.

In fact, this choice also sublimated her self-spirit, just like Ed said, maybe there are indeed many difficulties ahead, and there is very little she can do, but she has to do it to achieve her ideals!

Regardless of what was waiting in front of them, the trio finally decided to set out on the road back.
