Chapter 5: Waking up in a mess

Views:

Gao Wen felt that his condition was improving rapidly, his brain was gradually waking up, and his body control had reached the level of freedom of movement, so he finally had the energy to pay attention to the girl who was still being detained: "Speaking of... what's going on? ?”

The half-elf girl has been working hard to reduce her sense of existence before this, and hopes that these Cecil family members can forget about the fact that someone dug their ancestral graves under the huge impact of "meeting the ancestors". But before she found a chance to escape, Gao Wen cast his gaze over, so the unfortunate lady thief could only shrink her neck, showing a very pitiful look: "I just want to come in and hide..."

"Do you need to go all the way into the deepest tomb to hide?" Hetty immediately glared, and said to Gawain, "Ancestor, it is this despicable tomb robber who desecrated your resting place and disturbed your deep sleep!"

Gawain was stunned for a moment, then looked at the half-elf girl strangely: "That is to say... you woke me up?"

If it weren't for the limitations of the human body structure, Miss Thief would have shrunk her head into the pelvic cavity at this time, and her voice would tremble: "I really didn't do anything! I really wanted to find a safe place to hide from the beginning. I got up, and after I got in, I accidentally got an occupational disease and got into the tomb, but I got nothing in the tomb... "

Gao Wen thought for a while, and said seriously: "In short, thank you."

Miss Thief: "...Huh?"

Everyone including Rebecca and Hetty: "… huh?"

"Ahem, let her go, it doesn't look good for you four big men to hold a little girl like this," Gao Wen realized something was wrong after thanking him, but he couldn't change his words, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue. Go on, "Not chivalrous, well, chivalrous."

A look of hesitation flashed across Hetty's face: "But ancestor, she is..."

"I would like to thank her for waking me up from a deep sleep," Gao Wen said with a wave of his hand, "Let it go, I have no objection, what are you talking about?"

Knight Byron gave the "ancestor Cecil" a strange look, and finally retracted his long sword under the signal of Hetty's eyes, and the three soldiers beside him also retreated.

The half-elf girl looked around and made sure that the situation in front of her was not a prank, then stood up cautiously, and confirmed it with Gawain: "Well, you are an elder, if you keep your word, don't go back on your word. !"

The corners of Hetty's eyes twitched, and it took him a long time to suppress the aristocratic self-cultivation he had cultivated over the years before he finally restrained the urge to beat up the tomb robber.

Gawain looked at the girl curiously. From the memory he had just inherited, he could tell that the other party's race should be a half-blood elf: "What's your name?"

The half-elf girl blinked her eyes: "Amber."

Gawain stroked his chin: "Amber? It looks like a forest elf..."

At this moment, Hetty suddenly made a sound, interrupting the communication between Gawain and the half-elf who called himself Amber: "Master Ancestor, I have to interrupt you—this is not the time for small talk, we are not safe now!"

Gao Wen tried hard to put himself into the new identity, and he looked at Hetty seriously: "What happened outside?"

"It's a monster!" Rebecca, who was silent for a long time, said loudly, "The monsters are rushing from the direction of the Serin crossing and the mine! Neither the army nor the security team on the territory are the opponents of those monsters—I'm afraid the outside is completely surrounded by now." Those guys are taken over…”

"We organized resistance as much as possible, and before the situation completely collapsed, Knight Philip led some soldiers to cover the civilians for refuge, but before the second group of refuge teams set off, those monsters destroyed the suspension bridge," Hetty added, " Rebecca and I did not dishonor the Cecil family's reputation, and neither did these brave warriors, we fought in the castle until the last moment—we had no choice but to retreat here until the gate of the inner court was also breached."

Then Gao Wen asked some more questions, and finally pieced together the outline of the whole thing:

This is the ancestral territory of the Cecil family from the first ancestor to the present, and the little girl next to her, who looks like a high school girl with an iron staff, is actually the current lord of this territory. When the monster attacked, the young lord lady did organize resistance as much as possible, but obviously failed-the monster finally destroyed all the defense forces and slaughtered all the humans along the way. After the first group of survivors were evacuated, Rebecca, who abided by her lord's duty, was trapped in the castle with the last soldiers. They fought for a long time, but finally the castle was also breached, and they had no choice but to retreat into the castle. Come to the ancestral tombs below the castle.

And then just happened to meet her own fraudulent corpse... oh, possessed.

And that beautiful lady named Hetty is actually Rebecca's aunt.

But these seniority relationships are meaningless to Gao Wen, anyway, they are all great-great-great-great-granddaughters, and it doesn't matter if there is one more Zeng or one less.

As for the half-elf named Amber, she is indeed a thief, but this time she really came to find a place to take refuge—it's just that this lady thief's professional skills are really superb, and she even got all the way to the tomb of the ancestors of the Cecil family Inside the deepest chamber of the…

"It turned out to be such a mess when I woke up..." Gao Wen rubbed his forehead, while thinking about how to solve the current crisis, he searched for helpful information from the memory bank in his mind, "So, those monsters have completely occupied the Up above, going out is a dead end. Speaking of which, monsters are screaming all the time, what are those things?"

"I speculate that it is some kind of demon subspecies," Hetty said, "but demons haven't appeared in the main material world for many years, and I'm not sure if they appear on such a large scale."

Rebecca grabbed the staff and stared at Gao Wen expectantly: "My lord ancestor, can't you deal with the monsters outside with your strength?"

Gawain was stunned for a moment: "Me?"

"That's right! According to legend, aren't you the most powerful knight in the Ansu Kingdom, or even in the entire Northern Continent?" Rebecca's eyes almost started to sparkle, "It is said that you killed the barbarian warlord Gu Erg…”

Gawain hurriedly retrieved his memory, and was shocked by the result: Gawain Cecil is actually a fierce man at the legendary level!

He is the greatest hero in the pioneering era of the Ansu Kingdom, and one of the earliest pioneers in the so-called "second pioneering" period.

In the dark age when the ancient Gondor Empire collapsed, the remnants of the empire returned to chaos and barbarism, and the lights of human civilization were gradually swallowed up by the tide of chaos spreading from the hinterland of the continent, this Gawain Cecil and his fellow A group of warriors from the early period led the surviving humans to escape the ruins of the collapsed empire, and marched in four directions, and one of them marched north was the ancestors of the Ansu Kingdom, Gawain Cecil Be in it.

His life was extremely short, but extremely brilliant: he set off as a fifteen-year-old boy and became the youngest pioneer knight of the year; A new kingdom was established in the northern part of the mainland and brought mankind back to civilization and order; Ansu became one of the seven generals of the kingdom after establishing the kingdom, guarding the southern frontier and resisting more than a dozen counterattacks from the dark tide, large and small. undefeated...

It's just that such a brilliant life is like a candle that burns too fiercely. This legendary figure only lived to be thirty-five years old. In the last battle against the dark tide, Gawain Cecil died of exhaustion .

So much for the inherited memory.

Such was the life of this fierce man.

Gao Wen felt his forehead twitching.

Possessed by an incredible person!

He wasn't complacent, nor was he in awe. After a short period of shock, his biggest reaction was actually... not knowing what to do.

Rebecca was looking at him expectantly, and Amber had the same expression. Even Ms. Hetty, who looked the most mature and stable, looked at her with expectations and trust.

But what they were looking at was Gawain Cecil, not Gawain.

Gao Wen looked down at his hand, it was a warrior's hand, thick, thick, with thick calluses, but he didn't know how much power he could make this body exert when he controlled it .

But this state of uncertainty didn't last long, because Gao Wen's own memory became active, and it was a memory that lasted tens of thousands of years, maybe even hundreds of thousands of years-although the actual content of these memories may not be much , but it was enough for him to quickly correct his mentality and have full confidence in himself.

He admitted that he was a little shocked by Gawain Cecil's legendary life, but what he needed in this situation was not shock and shake, but to strengthen himself.

The source of this confidence is simple—

As early as when the intelligent creatures on this continent could not walk upright, he was watching the world!

He knew that these memories would not be of any real help, but at this moment, he just needed to cheer himself up.

Then use this strength to find a way to survive.

And once you calm down, there will naturally be a way.

He soon found something useful in the memory belonging to Gawain Cecil.

"It's unrealistic to fight all the way," Gao Wen said seriously, touching his chin, "I've been in a deep sleep for too long, so I may not be able to display much strength, and we can't be sure how powerful the monsters outside can be. So the best way is to find a way around those monsters and run to a safe place."

Rebecca: "But the drawbridge has been destroyed, and several other roads have been blocked..."

Gawain waved his hand and interrupted this great-granddaughter: "Underground, Cecilland used to be part of the kingdom's southern defense line. There is a secret tunnel system underground here, and its main body is blessed by the earth element. , it won’t collapse even for a thousand years, and the entrance to this secret tunnel is just below the castle.”

"There is such a thing?!" Rebecca suddenly showed a pleasant expression, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go find the tunnel! My ancestors, please lead the way!"

"But there is a problem." Gawain spread his hands, "I only know how to go from the castle, but I don't know the way from the tomb."

Rebecca looked surprised: "You have lived for so long and don't know the way here?"

Gao Wen: "..."

Byron knights and soldiers: "..."

Hetty's face was pale, and she felt that the old ancestor would most likely be pissed to death by this unworthy descendant...
