Chapter 20: The Girl Who Wants to Die

"That'...... So what should we do......" Tina said timidly, looking at Will in front of her, stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head in silence.

"yes, what are we going to do, we're both trapped here now...... The only thing that makes me feel fortunate is that Jehovah can't kill me in this world because of some kind of rule in this world. Otherwise, a mortal, no matter how powerful he is, will never be able to match the gods. Of course, this may not be a good thing for you...... After all, you're stuck here, just like me, and there's only one of us who can get out. Will looked at Tina's eyes in a trance, and a trace of struggle suddenly flashed in his eyes, should you take this girl ......

......

Outside the Sanctuary of Redemption, Laika waits.

The speed at which the light emitted by the Salvation Sanctuary was fading was slowing down, and during this time, the divine aura contained in the Redemption Sanctuary did not have the slightest tendency to increase.

This meant that Will didn't kill the girl.

Otherwise, no matter how weak the girl's soul is, it will be absorbed by the Salvation Sanctuary and generate feedback.

Stuart, the king of Lacales, also realized this at this moment, and he fully understood the meaning of what Laika had just said - Laika was gambling, betting that Will was still so "kind" and refused to do anything to Tina, who had helped him!

"Huh...... See, Stuart. A smug smile tugged at the corner of Laika's mouth, though it seemed to him to be more of a villain. Kelaika didn't care about this, he glanced at Stuart with a gloomy face, and said slowly: "Your daughter, there should be no problem, now, we just have to wait...... I should have thought of the idea sooner, though, would......n't I?

Stuart didn't respond to Laika, he was still focusing on the Sanctuary of Redemption for the moment, for fear that the light of the Sanctuary of Redemption would be brilliant again—because that would mean Tina's death!

Of course, it could also be...... The death of the Black Dead man named Lewell...... However, this is obviously somewhat unlikely.

Stuart shook his head slowly, tossing the unrealistic idea out of his mind.

Laika snorted in dissatisfaction when he saw that Stuart had ignored him, and then he cast his gaze on the distant sky, where a few points of light looming in the clouds stood out at the moment.

Are those people finally coming?!

......

"So, anyway, let's introduce myself. My name is Lee. Will looked at Tina seriously, he stretched out his hand, helped the girl to her feet, and continued, "I am a Holy Clan, and my father, Richard, is the leader of the Holy Clan...... I've always wondered why, why would you deliberately go to the north and take risks to help me? The Holy See's slander against the Holy Race began two years ago, and I don't think a noble girl would not know this...... You...... Yes, for some purpose?"

Will looked at the girl with a soft look in her eyes, and she helped herself, no matter what the girl's purpose was. Saying these things now, it's just that I don't want to be played around from beginning to end at the last moment, as before.

“...... No. Upon touching Will's outstretched hand, a very noticeable flush appeared on Tina's face. But after hearing him ask his own questions, the flushes quickly faded, and then, there was a gloom. The girl said inwardly, "Why, do you look at me like this?"

"Oh, well......" Will shook his head, he only thought that the sudden red on the girl's face was caused by her emotional instability. Obviously, in this world, his emotional intelligence is still terrifyingly low.

“...... I ......"

"Huh?"

“...... Will, you, don't you remember me?"

"Oh, what? We've seen each other before?"

“...... See, you forget that seven years ago, you used to come to La Calles...... You saved me at that time......"

Will's pupils narrowed, and he remembered that day seven years ago.

On that day, he followed his father and Uncle Cohen on his way to the city of Rome to seek the help of His Majesty Caligula, the great lord of Rome, passing by Lacales. In a tavern in Lacales, my father and Uncle Cohen were discussing where the Holy Clan should develop in the future, whether to open a new home for the Holy in Ivy or return to the old home in the Kingdom League and fight for power with the Council of Elders.

Eventually, my father was persuaded by Uncle Cohen. They eventually chose to return to their old homes and fought one battle after another with the Council of Elders – a struggle that lasted for two years.

In the end, my father and Uncle Cohen were defeated, and they took half of the Holy Clan, who had seen the shame of the Council of Elders in that struggle, to the new home that His Majesty Caligula had prepared for the Holy Clan, the Province of Ivy.

So, five years ago, the new home of the Holy Clan was established in the city of Deya in the province of Ivey. The exchange of interests with His Majesty the Emperor was that His Majesty the Emperor gave the Holy Race a new home to live in, and provided legal protection for the Holy Clan. The Holy Clans, on the other hand, needed to guard the northern route to the Roman hinterland for the Empire, widen the battle line between the Empire and the Kingdom Alliance, and form a vast buffer zone between the Kingdom Alliance and the barbarians who were bent on expanding and the Sunset Fortress, the strongest fortress in the north of the Empire......

Will subconsciously remembered this, and immediately, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Scold......

Now, where are the Holy Clans?

After the demise of the Holy Family, the Roman Empire should also be reduced to a place for the Holy See to keep "believers" in captivity...... Bar......

Scold......

His Majesty Caligula, the great lord of Rome, and Caesar, the legendary and powerful man who was full of arrogance and hostility to the Holy Family, hid his existence from the world, and became a god in later years by spreading the doctrine of "The Glory of Rome...... Are they all regretting it now, regretting that they gave in before the Holy See and let the Holy Race sacrifice in vain.

Will shook his head imperceptibly, kicking the memories out of his mind.

Suddenly, he found himself overlooking something.

Yes, at that time, he had already been to Lacales, and what did he, at that time, do in Lacales?

Will frowned and carefully recalled for a while, and soon, those dusty memories were peeled back layer by layer and re-displayed in front of his eyes.

......

Well...... That's right.

He and Tina did see each other before.

It's just that at the first meeting, he didn't remember Tina, and Tina, remembered him.

It was the second night that my father and Uncle Cohen had been arguing in Lacales, and on that night, Will and his attendants went to the streets of Lacales to gather some information about the local area, to estimate the strength of Lacales, and - the people here, their loyalty to the Roman Empire!

And it was that night, when it was midnight, Will suddenly heard a faint cry for help, and out of instinctive kindness, he was in Lacales in the middle of the night, looking for the faint cry for help.

Eventually, Will arrives in front of a nobleman's mansion with a very luxurious appearance and distinctly Roman features, and he follows the cry for help that suddenly appears in his head to rescue Tina from a comatose in the dungeon and send her to the guard room on the street.

Because he didn't want to attract special attention, he hid it all and didn't tell anyone, including his father.

......

This......

Will smiled bitterly and glanced at Tina, whose face was a little gloomy, and he whispered comfortingly, "...... I'm sorry, I forgot. If I'm not mistaken, at the time, it should have been me from a place...... Saved you, didn't you?"

"Well, yes, that's right......" Tina nodded, her face finally looking a little better. Because Will hasn't forgotten her, and

also put aside doubts about himself.

"That'...... Thank you. Will was silent again, he didn't know how to communicate with the girl—could it be that he was going to ask Tina why she was imprisoned in the dungeon? Will's EQ is indeed very low, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't think about others at all!

"Will?"

"Huh?"

"You don't have to thank me, this is what I should do, after all, you once saved my life, and everything I do now is just to repay your kindness to me. ”

“...... Hmmm......"

"So, can I ask you for something?"

“...... Anything, just say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely say yes!"

"Good...... Then please, kill me!"

Will waited for Tina's answer with a calm breath, and after hearing Tina's answer, his face suddenly changed, because, he didn't know why Tina suddenly said that!

But after seeing the sudden tear stains on Tina's beautiful face, and her tearful eyes, Will's throat moved, and he couldn't speak.

Tina seemed to anticipate Will's reaction, and she sighed and said sadly, "...... I've never regretted bringing you back...... Believe me. I was just...... It's just that I can't face the dead people...... I didn't know what was going to happen when I brought you back...... Just now, when I was outside, I heard the screams of those clansmen, and the despair that appeared on their faces when they were thrown into this sacred area...... I'm really ...... So, please kill me...... That way, you can get out of here too......"

When the girl said the end, her face was full of determination, she looked at Will, Will had no doubt at all, the girl's courage and determination at the moment!

But...... He can't do it!
