After the conversation, Link and the great priest returned to the camp one after another. Many business trips who were worried about their fate couldn't sleep and raised a bonfire in the open space, hoping to use the light to dispel the worries in their hearts. No one in the circle spoke, and the silence continued until the second half of the night.

Link, who was a little sleepy just now, felt someone approaching. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Doyle.

"I want to talk to you."

After saying that, regardless of how Link reacted, he left the camp.

Link glanced at the great priest sitting opposite him. Alicina's face looked blurred against the bonfire. Seeing that she had no indication, Link stood up and caught up with Doyle.

"Do you know sound insulation? Or obstruction? No matter how far we go, the great priest can track it. The distance is meaningless under her magic, unless we can use languages ​​that she cannot understand." When we walked to a position where ordinary people could not hear the conversation, Doyle stopped. Her voice was a bit weird, much more dull than usual, and her nasal sound was very heavy.

Link was a little suspicious. Did she really know nothing about her life experience?

Shuanghan wanted to use Doyle to corrode the wind pillar, so he should have laid the inducement in her heart early. Maybe she knew about my conversation with the great priest.

Shocked by the thoughts that came out of my mind, Link looked Doyle up and down again.

Regardless of how she learned it, she has been in the Morning Sect for more than ten years and has become the most elite Dawn Knight known as the Templar. She should have a stronger mind than ordinary people, otherwise she would not be able to be so calm if she already knew the truth.

After a moment of silence, Link used the double barrier. Sound insulation and shading.

"You heard my conversation with the great priest?"

Doyle's body stiffened and he slowly looked up. His eyes flashed when he looked at Link: "I don't know what you are talking about..."

"I was worried about how to tell you the truth. Since that guy has intervened, I can only show off with you in advance." Link lifted the deformation and restored his original appearance: "Although you may already know, it's better to introduce yourself formally. I am the son of nature summoned by the pillar from the exile, Link."

Doyle took several steps back and leaned until the solid trees stopped. His wide eyes were filled with shock. More of the understanding and pain.

"Where is him?"

"Do you mean the Ranger? Melville Harvey died a month ago at the hands of the Death Knight leader Seberian. It definitely didn't tell you this." Even if the conversation just now was heard by Doyle, Link was confident that he could expose Shuanghan's conspiracy. Of course, the premise was that Doyle's mental strength could support her in the cause and effect of listening to the entire thing.

Under the continuous impact, Doyle's legs were unable to support and slowly slid to the ground. She even had the idea of ​​escaping, which was a dream. I fell asleep in front of the campfire. Yes, this must be a nightmare!

The mood was too obvious, Link took a few steps forward and grabbed Doyle's arm, "Do you want to escape?"

"I……"

"This is neither a dream nor an illusion. What you see and hear are facts. I am not Melville, and the Ranger is not your biological father. As a Knight of Dawn, is your physical and mental strength only a little bit?"

Staring at the young man who looked at him with expressionless face, Doyle couldn't help but tremble, "What do you know? How could you understand my pain? You..." Before he finished speaking, Link reached out to cover her head. Before Doyle could react, a strong sense of dizziness swept across his body, and her eyes were dark and she screamed in secret.

After a brief darkness, Doyle found herself in a dark space, with the forest and camp disappearing without a trace, only the starry sky without knowing the boundaries. She floated in it, and there were bright stars, big or small, in the distance.

What is this place? A illusion?

Doyle judged that he might have been hit by some kind of spell, and the translucent and unsophisticated body was the best proof. If he was a spiritual body, was this the guy's consciousness space? As soon as he realized this, Link's spiritual body appeared later.

【Yes, this is the depth of my consciousness.】

Doyle looked at Link with alert and subconsciously wanted to distance himself, but considering that this was the other party's consciousness space and nothing was meaningless to do, he gave up meaningless defense.

Since it is a space of consciousness, then... as long as you think, you can communicate?

Doyle conveyed this idea to Link, [What exactly do you want to do when you bring me into the space of consciousness?]

[You may not understand some things just by talking about them, so I plan to let you know directly from the spiritual level.] Link had just expressed his intentions, and a former magic goddess in white clothes appeared beside him.

【The despicable druid did something extra on your back.】

Link frowned, [What did Jafar do?]

[It has just reached an agreement with the great priest of the Chenxi Sect. Once Doyle becomes a demon, he will join forces to kill her.]

The layer of consciousness is different from reality. As long as you do not block your own ideas, all communication is shared.

Alicina wants to kill me? Influenced by this news, Doyle's translucent mental body began to turn red.

[Can you control my body?] It is the critical moment now, and Link cannot put Doyle's consciousness back. He handed over the trust to another, and the only Lorelai who could help him.

Lorelai showed a malicious smile: [Are you so relieved me? Don't forget, I had the idea of ​​seizing your body. Give up just because it was too difficult, but once you took the initiative to give up control of your body...]

[The pillar admits that my soul, not my body, without the power of the Son of Nature, what do you use to fight against the Immortal Empire? What's more, I chose to trust you. Even if I was betrayed, it was my own choice. Now is not the time to speak out, go quickly!] I found that Doyle's condition was not optimistic, Link urged Lorelai to leave quickly.

The former magic goddess's consciousness was pulled away from the space and manipulated Link's body and stood up. A few steps away were the wolf and the great priest.

He is obviously the same person, but his temperament is very different. Alicina opens the protective array.

"As a druid and a demon, your performance is really bad." Lorelai, who controlled Link's body, picked up Doyle, who was limping on the ground.

"Who are you?" Alicina asked loudly. She had confirmed that this person was not the son of nature. The worst case was that a third party intervened. When she thought that it might be a dead soul, the great priest felt chill on her back. Because the son of nature was a life weaver, she did not use prophecy on him. If the undead took advantage of the situation, then she faced not only the half-demon whose seal was invalid, but also the son of nature who could confront the saint level.

"The Son of Nature has a key conversation with Doyle in the space of consciousness. If the exhortation fails, he will lock Doyle's soul in his body. It is important, please don't disturb him, okay?" Although it was a requesting word, the tone of the command was expressed. This is an attitude that only those who are in the upper class for a long time will have. Alicina's forehead slid down.

Before, she had never discovered that there was such a person around the son of nature, and the druid did not mention it at all. Although she was not a dead soul, she was obviously not a friend.

Jafar moved his pace, intending to distract Lorelai's attention. The magic energy condensed in the palm of Link's free hand, dragging the long light and shadow around the trees to attack the wolf. This move is the most basic magic missile in the spell. It is slightly different from the last time. This time the missile appears light purple, with a much smaller number, but its power is enhanced.

The wolf moved left and right, and finally dodged. The second wave of attack arrived, followed by the third wave, the fourth wave... Each time it was released, it was faster than the previous wave. Seeing that it could not be avoided, Jafar could only resist. The banging sound of magic energy hitting ** was particularly obvious in the quiet night. Seeing that the actions here aroused the alertness of the wood elves, the great priest cast a barrier to block the attack of the magic missile for the druid.

"Stop! Do you want to make things worse?"

"My task is to make sure that the conversation between Link and Doyle can continue, and the others are not within my concern." Lorelai, who was manipulating Link's body, replied.

Jafar, who was protected by the barrier, was upset about his miscalculation. He did not count for it, but Lorelai would block it. In order not to be discovered, it blocked the connection with Link. Link, who was busy communicating with Doyle, did not care, but Lorelai keenly realized the abnormal behavior of the wolf. Through the contract engraved in Link's soul, Lorelai, who had been assimilated, learned about Jafar's behavior and hurriedly informed Link of this situation.

As a demon, this can be considered betrayal, and Jafar does not regret it. He does this completely follow the laws of the druid, maintaining balance and protecting the world. Even if he is punished by Link or even lost his life, he will nihilate the danger in the bud.

Deep in Link's consciousness, Doyle asked Lorelai's identity.

【who is she?】

Although it was very weak, the power was divine power, and the woman only had a broken soul.

Doyle did not miss the part of the body that captured Link and Lorelai's conversation.

Is this guy crazy? He actually puts the soul fragments of others deep in his consciousness. Don’t he know the danger of doing so? He even takes the initiative to hand over control of his body, if the woman takes the opportunity to take it for herself...

Link did not give her extra time to think, and fully displayed the memories that Shenzhi saw.

[This is what I saw through the power of the pillar, belonging to the memory of the past. It may not be real, but there is one thing that cannot be argued about. No matter who your biological father is, you will face a difficult choice.]

This was because Link was worried that Shuanghan would use other methods to lure Doyle. He still remembered how Shuanghan tempted Lord Aiden to rebel in the illusion of his dream.

To be more convincing, Link played his consciousness dialogue with Lorelai and Jafar in the form of memories.

After reading it, Doyle became even more excited and questioned Link's hypocritical and wanted to give her a chance to choose on the surface, but she had already made the same decision as the great priest.

[You cannot choose your own origins. At least, I hope to give you the opportunity to choose what path to go.]

[The self-righteous judge...] Doyle sneered, her spiritual body was getting darker and darker, more like blood than flames.

The abandonment of relatives, the father of unknown origin, everything was destined to never realize the small hope that she hid in her heart.

Sure enough, he left wildly, Link sighed, and the next time was the time to test my eloquence.

[Why can't you see what your grandfather did for you, and you only have the hurt you suffered in your heart.]

[What did you say? He obviously hated me. He thought that the illegitimate child was embarrassed by the family and wanted to send me away...] Doyle instinctively refuted that for many years, she had always thought so. Although the great priest had never said it in person, Doyle heard other people in the sect discuss this privately more than once. From childhood to adulthood, she spent more than one person on hardships and sweats than others to move from the illegitimate child to the elite Knight of Dawn.

[The Duke sent you to the Morning Sect instead of secretly executing it, which is enough to prove his determination to save you. If it was really to preserve the reputation of the family, no one would have known that Winnie had given birth to a child.] Link's words hit a crack on the barriers wrapped in Doyle with hatred.

Resentment has blinded Doyle's reason. As long as she involves her life experience, she cannot think carefully, especially... the ghostly person...

[The sound that often whispers in your mind?] Link revealed his identity as a mysterious man by Doyle. [Do you think that is a demon? It is the supreme commander of the Immortal Empire, the Lich King Shuanghan."

Doyle's mind was in chaos, frost cold? Why did it appear in my consciousness? It turned out to be a lich, not a demon...

Since she became sensible, there would be a sound in her consciousness that only she could hear. Like a prophet, she could predict her future, and like a demon, she always tempted her to do bad things. Thanks to the great priest, she always taught and forgive her every mistake...

Thinking of Alicina Doyle's mood became worse again. The voice she called a mysterious person said that the reason why the Chenxi Sect wanted to take her in was to monitor her nearby. Originally, Doyle didn't believe it, thinking that this was just the trajectory of the demon. But just now, in her sleep, she saw the conversation between the Son of Nature and the Great Priest like a prophecy.

Once she was possessed by the devil, she would kill him on the spot. Alicina's ruthless expression and cold tone woke Doyle up from her dream. Seeing the two returning to the camp one after another, she decided to confirm to the son of nature who disguised as a ranger whether what she heard was true, and if it was... who else in this world could believe it?

Doyle poured his resentment towards Link: [You are also approaching me with a purpose!]

[Hey hey hey hey~ You can think clearly about it, who is approaching who?] Link spreads his hands, [It was purely accidental for me to pretend to be Melville, and you should think that this is a choice of fate. He died for justice. Can you not charge him randomly? Knowing that he might die if he violates the ancestral teachings, he still goes. In terms of camp and position, Melville did not reveal that your biological father is a demon, and he already gave face.]

Doyle still tried to find fault, [That was because the Chenxi Sect took over, he wanted to kill me at the beginning!]

[As the Dawn Knight, you are not ruthless when you kill those refugees.]

Unable to say that Link, Doyle lowered her head, her inner anger was no longer as strong as before.

[To be honest, before I knew your true life experience, I didn't want to be a buyer at all...] ​​I guess the last word Doyle couldn't understand, Link changed to a more understandable statement, [I originally wanted to find someone who could easily get involved in Krenberg, and I didn't know the grudge between Melville and your mother, let alone the fact that he was a descendant of Befest. People can lie, but memories cannot be fake. If you don't believe it, I can draw the memories of that time.]

Doyle was still very confused. She grew up receiving the teachings of the morning light since she was a child and did not want to fall into the devil. However, the grievances and depression she suffered over the years made her want to destroy and vent her crazy thoughts. What she didn't understand even more was why the son of nature disguised as Melville had to stop her from being deviled so much? Even the great priest who raised herself since childhood would kill her for the sake of her camp and duties. Why did this irrelevant person risk his life at the risk of his life... Saving her is really ridiculous.

Seeing that Doyle was so shaken that in order to completely cut off her chances of being possessed by demons, Link told her story.

[My parents separated after giving birth to me. They each formed a new family. I was raised by my grandfather. No one of the same age wants to play with me. They are often teased by them. They grow up in loneliness and inferiority, envious and even jealous of those who have their parents around them. I have had such thoughts, and I can understand your feelings. Perhaps it is this empathy that makes me decide to give you the opportunity to choose your own destiny. Even if everything before was not your wishes, this time, the opportunity to determine your future destiny is up to you.]

All the past flashed quickly in Doyle's consciousness, grandfather, mother, demon father of unknown origin, and even the great priest. Everyone around them was making decisions for her, and only this person gave the right to choose to himself.

【What if...what would I choose to become a demon?】

[As a half-demon, of course you have the right to choose to be a human or a demon. However, in the current situation, if you choose to become a demon, you will fulfill the intention of Shuanghan. For the sake of the overall situation, I will seal your consciousness in my soul. After defeating the Immortal Empire, I will find a suitable time to put your consciousness back into your body.] Link took a few steps forward and approached Doyle. He had no advantage in height, but his momentum completely overwhelmed Doyle. He stretched out his hand, [How, your choice?]

Knowing that it was untrustworthy, knowing that it might be another lie, it would push her into a deeper abyss. Doyle still grabbed the only driftwood like a drifter, and grabbed Link's hand that stretched out to her.

[I want to inherit the title of Duke Krenberg. Compared to the demon, I hate the undead more.]

Just as Doyle made his statement, Lorelai's consciousness returned to the consciousness space, and she was repelled by the great priest's expulsion technique.

[Remember your promise at this moment, I can pull you in the first time, and I can pull you into the second time.] Link released Doyle's consciousness and returned to reality together. The great priest was ready for the next round of magic, but he stopped because of the change of consciousness again.

In the morning light of dawn, Link let go of Doyle's hand and let her stand firm on her own.

The seal, which was once almost destroyed due to emotional time and space, returned to calm. Doyle's expression was unprecedentedly quiet, which surprised the great priest who had taken care of her for many years, and then turned his attention to Link.

"I've already negotiated with her."

Has the agreement been completed? Alicina couldn't believe her ears in three simple words, and her eyes turned back to Doyle, and she nodded.
Chapter completed!
