Chapter 27 What I Can and Can't Choose
Doyle's unpredictable expression fell into the eyes of the mage who had been observing her carefully. He exchanged a look with Vilfredo, both of them opened the distance from Doyle and Asa, and retreated to the other side of the balcony.
In order to have a safe conversation, Wengers also opened a silent barrier that could only accommodate both of them: "What do you think about this?"
Wilfredo frowned, "What are you referring to?"
Wengers whined at the closed door, and naturally they were the two inside.
Velfredo shook his head, his mind was very messy and he couldn't figure it out.
Wengers tsk and had to turn the topic to Velfredo, "What did you think? He actually transferred to the Temple of Nature. Don't you know that the nobles regard the newly established Temple of Nature as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh?"
Wilfredo was silent for a few seconds before slowly answering: "Don't you join the mercenary group of Son of Nature?"
"This is different!" After roaring in a panic, he realized his disobedience. Knowing that the two outside the barrier could not hear it, Wengers still lowered his voice, "The mercenary is not a follower, I am just an employment relationship with him, and I can withdraw at any time. But once you join the temple, you will always..."
Velfredo interrupted impatiently, "I know!"
Wengers's face was suddenly a little overwhelmed by his kindness.
"I know..." He stretched out his hand and wiped his face. The face hidden in the shadow of Velfredo was exhausted. "In the early years, I was still holding the luck of going back. As time passed year by year, my hope was exhausted in waiting, and the dethrone of the Regent completely cut off my thoughts."
"That's just..." The word "single" cannot be said. How could Wengers, who also came from a noble family, not knowing the bad nature of the noble family? He is drunk today, no matter what the future generations are like. What's more... all nobles who have contact with the undead know that Hicks of the Death will not kill all human beings. This god wants to spread horror to every corner of the continent. As long as the irrelevant common people do not shake their fundamental interests, no matter how many nobles die, they will not care.
"The Silver Empire is too corrupt, like a blood-sucking maggot dependent on the people, will only take humans to the abyss of destruction." Putting down his hand, Velfredo's expression turned from pain to resolute. "I don't care about being scolded as a traitor. Whoever wants to save humanity will be the master."
Wengers stared at Velfredo in a daze. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to twenty years ago, a child, who was still a child, kneeled in front of the statue of the God of War with a tender voice to swear to defend the people to the death. Time flies, and the children of that year have grown up, been framed, wandered in a foreign land, abandoned the title of a noble. He put down the knight's figure, and even deviated from the oath... No, he did not betray everything, but loyally abide by his oath.
Weir, sometimes I am really jealous of you. No matter what danger you are in, I always keep my heart unchanged.
"Do you need me to change my job and be a druid with you?"
Velfredo turned his head in surprise. Not sure if his friend was teasing or sincere.
Wengers patted his shoulder, "You're still serious? I'm determined to pursue the ultimate of spells. The goal is to be immortal like the former Great Sage."
Feeling that he was thinking too much, Velfredo shook his head and looked back, "I think the God of War takes the initiative to find the Son of Nature to protest."
Summoning the main god at the altars of other gods is a very serious religious problem. If one is not handled well, it will cause evil spirits to become enemies, or even a war of divine power.
Wengers nodded, he thought so, and he thought more deeply than Vilfredo.
"You think...I mean, is there such a possibility..." The mage made a gesture of holding hands, and this common move has another meaning in certain specific occasions.
"Alliance?!" Velfredo was surprised. This... was not impossible. Apart from the newly appointed God of Mages, the Shadow God who had just changed his camp also reached an alliance with the pillar. Besides, how could the race war be less involved in the God of War? Regardless of the winning or losing, wasn't the Northern Battle led by the Alliance of Nature supported the God of War?
Thinking of this, the possibility that the God of War appeared to form an alliance has increased a lot.
If you had known that the God of War would participate...Wilfredo hesitated for a moment, then denied his own wavering.
No, the God of War only needs killing and blood, so it will not care about human life or death. Although the pillar does not like humans, it has not yet decided to exterminate humans, otherwise it would not have specially chosen a human in another world as the new son of nature.
Wilfredo decided that the column chose Link, which also wanted to ease the relationship between humans and natural organisms.
That's good, at least there is hope for those nobles...
Seeing Doyle move, Wengers hurriedly removed the barrier.
The door of the room that was already cracked turned into pieces under Doyle's violent kick, "You'll just die of this heart, I won't go with you."
"Oh..." The dwarf narrowed his eyes, "After listening to his heart, are you still obsessed with it?"
Voice? Link immediately realized that he had been fooled by Vlajde.
The God of War could not invade his consciousness, but he could allow Doyle and Vera to sense the dialogue between them through possession. This is the real purpose of its last possession!
"There is no absolute fairness in this world, and naturally there is no saint who is unfavorable. No matter what his original intention is, when I was most desperate, he pulled us, and I also made a vow that as long as he did not betray us, we will abide by the vow!"
These words made Link froze, and his memory turned back to the night when he signed the contract several months ago, just like a book.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the great priest Alicina was determined to wipe out Doyle who had raised her with her own hands. He resolutely chose to give her the opportunity to choose.
[Is my choice useful? Destiny never gave me the opportunity to choose!]
【It’s not too late, as long as you are willing to do it, you can still choose the road under your feet.】
[I have become a monster. There is no place for me to live in the material world, no family, friends, and even the Chenxi Sect can no longer go back.]
[I have no relatives in this world. If you want, you can treat me as your relative. Whether it is a father or brother, or if you feel awkward, treat me as a friend. As long as you trust me, as long as I live for one day, I will be your protector.]
The experience that night was thrilling, which was even more dangerous than Grantham's army of undead. In order to save the twins, Link, who was hot-headed, even bet on his life. After exhausting all his verbal persuasion, Doyle finally let go of his guard and chose a compromise plan.
[Conclude a contract, I am willing to believe you.] The girl with blood and tears on her face said this in the sea of fire. Her eyes, which had been occupied by despair, reflected his figure. It was the last light and hope, just like an abandoned child seeing her parents who were condemned by conscience.
Have you forgotten why you chose to protect her for the sake of unswervingly?
Have you forgotten what prompted you to insist on defending her amidst the opposition?
Although humans are selfish, they will become righteous for their feelings. Pity, kindness, and determination to help them is not an impulse.
The definition of strength does not lie in how much power you have, but the firmness of your heart and beliefs. Only the incompetent and cowardly will clamor for a whole day to change your destiny. There may be millions of ways in the future, but only the choices I make can become history.
His eyes changed from confusion to clarity, and Link put aside the confusion caused by Vrajede's interference.
"Even without your help, the battle against the Allies and the God of Death cannot be changed. Even if the final result is failure, it is fate. I respect their choices and will not change my own intentions. Whether this alliance is concluded does not depend on me, but on you."
Vrajde was silent for a while, and suddenly raised his head and laughed, "You actually threw the question back to me? Hahahaha... interesting, really interesting. No wonder that cunning guy Malik was convinced by you."
After staring at Link who was a few steps away, Frajed raised his hand again, "Join in my personal name. You won't refuse this time, right? Oh~ No conditions are attached. Our company's war position is indispensable for such a big war. Just so happens, I hate Hicks' self-righteous inferior creature."
This time, Link really couldn't find a reason to refuse. He asked again, and did not ask for twins, but only shook hands with the medium possessed by the God of War without asking for the exact answer.
The contract turned into a red arm guard, and the holy emblem that exuded a red light highlighted that it was not an ordinary equipment.
The ceremony was completed and the God's coming was over. Before leaving, Vlajed watched the twins have a communication that only they knew.
[I can understand why you were bewitched. I really want to see his depravity and become an existence that is even more evil than Hicks.]
The secret laughter made Doyle tremble uncontrollably, and his eyes looked at Link very complicated.
The three people outside the house kept the conversation inside the house in their ears without saying a word until the god of war completely disappeared, and their tense nerves relaxed.
Wengers and Vilfredo looked at each other and were indeed an alliance. They were not surprised by success. Death is different from other gods. They only accept undead as believers. Even the night elves and demons in the same chaotic camp do not like them, and it is reasonable to turn against each other.
The God of War left, and the dwarf fell to the ground. Link helped him, and Campano, whose consciousness recovered, secretly looked at the son of nature. His thoughts were no less than those of the twins. When he was possessed, his soul was awake, but he was squeezed into a corner of consciousness. All the thoughts of communicating with the twins were seen by the God of War and that the thoughts of communicating with the twins were gone.
Link's idea really surprised Campano. He protected the descendants of the Demon God as a son of nature, and did not hesitate to use himself as a guarantee. How naive is this human from another world? It is not enough to describe it as being too kind. But this almost stupid stubbornness touched Campano again. He understood why the pillar chose him, and did not give priority to human interests. He treated all species fairly without killing and decisive. It is good for such a person to be a son of nature... (To be continued...)
