Chapter 4 Waking up in a mess
Gao Wen felt that his condition was getting better quickly, his brain was gradually awakening, and his control over his body reached the level of freedom of movement, so he finally had the energy to pay attention to the girl who was still being held: "By the way... what's going on?"
Before this, the half-elf girl tried hard to reduce her presence and hoped that these Cecil family members would forget about the fact that someone dug their ancestral graves in the huge impact of "meeting the ancestors". However, before she could find a chance to escape, Gao Wen turned his eyes over, so the unlucky thief could only shrink her neck and show a very pitiful look: "I just want to come in and hide..."
"Does it take you to go all the way into the deepest tomb chamber?" Hetty immediately glared at him and said to Gao Wen, "Ancestor, it was this despicable tomb robber who desecrated your resting place and disturbed your sleep!"
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at the half-elf girl became strange: "In other words... you called me 'awakening'?"
If it weren't for the limitation of human structure, the thief's heart was shivering in her pelvis at this time, and her voice trembled: "I really did nothing! I really wanted to find a safe place to hide, but after I got in, I accidentally got into the tomb. But I didn't have anything to get into the tomb..."
Gao Wen thought about it and said seriously: "Thank you anyway."
Miss thief: “…oh?”
Everyone including Rebecca and Hetty: “…Ha?”
"Ahem, let her go. It's not good to bet on a little girl like this," Gao Wen realized something was wrong after saying thank you, but it was difficult to change his words, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "It's not in line with the spirit of chivalry, well, chivalry."
Hesitation flashed across Hetty's face: "But the ancestor, she is..."
"I want to thank her for waking me out of my sleep," Gao Wen waved his hand and said, "Let me go, I don't even have any objection to what else you say?"
Knight Byron looked at the "Ancestor Cecil" with a strange look, and finally withdrew his sword under the gesture of Hetty, and the three soldiers next to him also retreated.
The half-elf girl looked around and confirmed that the situation in front of her was not a prank. Then she stood up carefully and confirmed with Gao Wen: "Well, you are an elder, you have to keep your word, don't regret it!"
Hetty's eyes suddenly jumped, and he used the aristocratic cultivation he had cultivated for many years to suppress it for a long time before he finally restrained the urge to beat the tomb robber.
Gao Wen looked at the girl curiously. From the memories he had just inherited, he could judge that the other party's race should be a mixed-race elf: "What's your name?"
The half-elf girl blinked: "Amber."
Gao Wen touched his chin: "Amber? It's a bit like a forest elves..."
At this time, Hedy suddenly spoke, interrupting the communication between Gao Wen and the half-elf who claimed to be amber: "My ancestor, I have to interrupt you - it's not the time to chat, we are not safe now!"
Gao Wen tried hard to put himself in his new identity, and he looked at Hetty seriously: "What happened outside?"
"It's a monster!" Rebecca, who had been beside him for a long time, said loudly, "The monsters rushing from the intersection of Sailin and the mines! The troops and security teams on the territory are not the opponents of those monsters - now the outside is probably completely occupied by those guys..."
"We organized the resistance as much as possible and had the Knight Philippe take some soldiers to cover the civilians before the situation collapsed, but before the second group of refugees set out, the monsters destroyed the suspension bridge," Hetty added. "Rebecca and I did not insult the reputation of the Cecil family, and so did these brave warriors. We fought in the castle until the last moment - until the gates of the inner court were also broken, we had to retreat here."
Then Gao Wen asked some questions and finally pieced together the outline of the whole thing:
This is the ancestral territory of the Cecil family since its first ancestors. The little girl Rebecca who looked like a high school girl next to her was actually the lord of this territory. When the monster attacked, the young lord lady did organize resistance as much as possible, but it was obviously failed - the monster eventually destroyed all the defensive forces and slaughtered all humans along the way. After the first group of survivors were withdrawn, Rebecca, who adhered to the lordism affairs, and the last soldiers were trapped in the castle. They insisted on fighting for a long time, but the castle was also breached, so they had to retreat into the ancestral tomb below the castle.
Then I happened to encounter myself assassinating... Oh, possessed.
And the beautiful lady named Hetty is actually Rebecca's aunt.
But these seniority relationships have no meaning to Gao Wen. Anyway, they are all great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-gre
As for the half-elf named Amber, she was indeed a thief, but this time she really came to find a place to take refuge - but the thief's professional skills were really superb, and she actually got into the deepest tomb chamber of the ancestors of the Cecil family...
"Was it just such a mess when I wake up..." Gao Wen rubbed his forehead, thinking about how to solve the current crisis while searching for information from the memory bank in his mind that could help. "So, those monsters have completely occupied the top of it, and going out is a dead end. By the way, monsters kept shouting, what exactly are those things?"
"I guess it's a subspecies of some kind of demon," said Hetty, "but it's not true that the demon has appeared in the main material world for many years, and it's still appearing on such a large scale."
Rebecca grabbed the staff and stared at Gao Wen with hopeful eyes: "My ancestor, can't you solve the monsters outside with your strength?"
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment: "Me?"
"Yes! In legend, you are not the most powerful knight in the Ansu Kingdom, or even the entire northern continent?" Rebecca's eyes almost began to shine. "It is said that you killed the great general of the barbarians with one sword..."
Gao Wen quickly searched his memory, but was shocked: Gao Wen Cecil was actually a legendary fierce man!
He is the greatest hero in the pioneering era of Ansu Kingdom and one of the earliest pioneers in the "Second Development" period.
In the dark era when the ancient Gondor Empire collapsed and the remnants of the empire returned to the chaos and barbarity. In the dark era when the lights of human civilization gradually were swallowed by the chaos demon tide spreading from the hinterland of the continent, this Gowen Cecil and a group of fierce people from the same period led the surviving humans to escape the ruins of the collapsed empire and marched in four directions. Among them, the ancestors of the Ansu Kingdom were the ancestors of the Ansu Kingdom. Gowen Cecil was in it.
His life was extremely short, but it was extremely brilliant: he set out as a fifteen-year-old boy and became the youngest pioneer knight of that year; he overcomes all obstacles with other pioneer knights at that time and the first generation of Ansu King, and spent ten years to establish a new kingdom in the north of the mainland, and brings mankind back to civilization and order; after the founding of Ansu Kingdom, he became one of the seven generals of the kingdom, guarding the southern border, resisting more than a dozen counterattacks from all over the dark demon tide, and never defeated...
But such a brilliant life is like a candle burning too violently. This legendary figure finally lived to be thirty-five years old. In the last battle against the dark tide, Gowen Cecil died in exhaustion.
This is the last memory inherited.
This is the life of this fierce man.
Gao Wen felt his forehead beating.
He possessed himself to an amazing person!
There was no complacentness, no fear, and after a brief shock, his biggest reaction was actually... he was unsure.
Rebecca was looking at him hopefully, Amber had the same expression. Even the most mature and steady Ms. Hetty looked at her with anticipation and trust.
But what they were looking at was Gowan Cecil, not Gowan.
Gao Wen looked down at his hand. It was the warrior's hand, wide, thick, and thick, with thick calluses, but he didn't know how much power he could exert when controlling this body.
However, this state of indecision did not last long, because Gao Wen's own memory became active, which was a memory that lasted tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Although the substance of these memories might not be much, it was enough to quickly correct his mentality and be full of confidence in himself.
He admitted that he was a little shocked by the legendary life of Gowan Cecil, but what he needed in this situation was not shock and shake, but to be determined by himself.
The source of this confidence is simple-
He was watching the world long before the intelligent creatures on this continent could not walk upright!
He knew that these memories would not have any substantial help, but at this moment, he just needed to give himself some effort.
Then, using this force, I found a way to survive.
Once calmed down, there will naturally be solutions.
He soon found something useful in his memory belonging to Gowan Cecil.
"It's unrealistic to fight all the way," Gao Wen touched his chin and said seriously. "I've been sleeping for too long and may not be able to exert much strength. We cannot be sure how powerful the monsters outside can be. So the best way is to find a way to bypass those monsters and run to a safe place."
Rebecca: "But the suspension bridge has been destroyed, and several other roads have been blocked..."
Gao Wen waved his hand and interrupted the unknown great-granddaughter: "Underground, Cecil's lord was once part of the southern defense line of the Kingdom. There is a secret tunnel system underground here. Its main body was blessed by the earth element and would not collapse even in a thousand years. The entrance to this secret tunnel is just below the castle."
"There is such a thing?" Rebecca suddenly showed a surprise expression, "What are you waiting for? Let's go find the tunnel! Master Ancestor, come and lead the way!"
"But there is a problem," Gao Wen spread his hands, "I only know how to get from the castle, but I don't know the way to get from the tomb."
Rebecca looked surprised: "Did you not know the way here after living for so long?"
Gao Wen: "…"
Byron Knights and Soldiers: "…"
