The Secret of the Eternal Battlefield Giant Rune Chapter 53 The Past
When Esther opened her tired eyes, the figure she saw...yes, it was Luther.
He held an officer's dagger and stood in front of Esther's fallen body. What he faced was a dark red giant snake with red eyes. The whole world was blood red, the distant scene was very blurry, and the close scene was very blurry.
It's a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
[Huh?! Another fucking trick?!" Esther pinched herself hard. "I can't just jump into a well and commit suicide just to find you, you bastard! Wait, why is there still me!
Damn it!] Esther couldn't help but want to call out to Phil, but there was no sound. Then, without waiting for Phil's response, she planned to rush to the battlefield. But she couldn't control this body at all, and even her consciousness was very weak.
"Have you made your decision?" The giant snake actually asked Luther in human words: "You stay in this world and let me go back with him?"
"Then this farewell may be forever, let's say goodbye." This giant snake was quite humane. The moment Luther turned around, many small bloody snakes appeared and wrapped around his body.
[What the hell is mlgj! I’m already a divine creature, but I can still be so weak. It’s not like I’m dead! Let me do something!] Esther’s thoughts surged in her heart.
But Luther didn't say anything, he just looked at "Esther"'s body in front of him until it was completely swallowed up.
The scene changed into a black mist mixed with gray snow, and the dark red giant snake was madly biting the giant worm that swallowed Fageni.
In the end, the worm spit out the quarter corpses of Fageni and Esther stuck between its teeth and escaped. The dark red giant snake penetrated into Esther's intact head, and the flesh and blood grew to connect the two bodies.
Corpse.
At the end, the black mist dissipated, and it was still this battlefield with many bodies missing, and "Esther" slowly stood up.
Esther looked at the truth, and a funny thought flashed through his mind. [My head is the original one? Then will the babies after I give birth still be mine? But why did I ascend the latitude, and that snake?
Is it an evil god?] He was doubtful about his pair of eyes that could fixate the bodies of others.
In any case, the dark red giant snake has already revealed the information that Ester is most concerned about. He is thinking about the various information about the bloody giant snake, which will be the key to tracking down clues in the future, and what exactly is going on here.
The thing is, although it seems that my powerless body can't do anything, it is very scary that the Dracolich can actually make people go back to the past.
Harv first saw his past. In the past, he always wore full-body plate armor and almost never took it off. If you want to recognize him from the crowd, you only need to find the one who looks most like the activated armor.
Just the guy.
Under the helmet, there are long golden hair and double pupils, which are originally a symbol of the awakening of the sacred soul and a gift given to him by his ancestors, but he himself seems to think that it is a curse... a restraint.
Dumb, dull, stubborn...this may be the evaluation of him by everyone who dealt with the paladin who called himself Thirty-Seven Point Five at that time.
At that time, the daily routine seemed to be to accept and complete the tasks assigned by the sect. No one had seen what he was like in private. It seemed that what appeared in front of everyone was always a symbol of hatred... rather than a person. Just like
Everyone only knows his code name: 37.5. Few people know what his real name is, and why he always refers to himself with this unknown number.
That was a story nearly twenty years ago...
At that time, Harv should still be called a boy. The boy's father was also a paladin who had sworn a sacred oath. The injury he suffered in a past battle made him lose his fighting ability, so he had to withdraw from the battle.
On the front line, return to the lives of ordinary people.
However, his physical disability could not stop him from yearning for the light. Like almost all fathers in the world, since he could no longer realize his dream, he placed all his expectations on the next generation.
The young man has been receiving training from his father since he was a child. His talent is quite good, but he is lazy and rebellious by nature. The first few years were fine, and the young man received basic training for a period of time, but it was not until later that he
When his father asked him to make a vow and fulfill it with all his heart, he ran away.
It was said that he was running away, but it was not that serious. The young man just ignored his father's training, wandered the streets during his idle time, and relied on his martial arts to become a well-known kid king in the city - but
Fortunately, he didn't do anything bad with his own power, otherwise his father would have to clean up the family by himself even at the risk of recurrence of old injuries.
Although the young man does not do evil, he does not have any so-called sense of justice in his heart. He is casual and happy-go-lucky by nature, and does not want to take risks, let alone dedicate his life to an oath.
If there are no accidents, as time goes by, the boy's father will recognize the reality, let go of his obsessions, and the relationship between the two will be reconciled. At that time, the boy will return to the life of an ordinary person, like an ordinary person.
Just like marrying a wife, having children, and giving birth to the next generation of life...if there are no accidents.
That day, a man who changed Huff's life came to the city where the boy lived.
That was the priest, and it was said that he came to this city to complete some mission. From the first moment the boy saw that guy, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart - that guy was smiling all the time.
.
"Look, this kind of person must not be a good person secretly. I will find him out sooner or later." In a corner, the young man looked at the priest and whispered to his companions.
From then on, the boy followed the pastor every day, hoping to find evidence of his dirty deeds to prove that his assumption was correct.
However, the longer he followed that man, the more things the boy saw were contrary to his suspicions. He seemed to be kind beyond ordinary people's imagination. Every day since he came to this city, he seemed to be
Spend time helping others.
"Hey, what's the purpose of doing this!" Finally, the young man couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, stood in front of the priest, and asked arrogantly.
The other party didn't take it seriously when he heard such a question. He just smiled at the young man and then continued to treat the wound.
"Tsk... just wait, I will expose you!" After that, the young man entangled with the pastor every day, racking his brains and trying to use various means to reveal the other party's "true face", but in the end, without any surprise, he found nothing.
During this period of time together, the two also exchanged a few words. The pastor told the boy that he was one of the messengers who was inspired by God to walk in the world to save ordinary people who were suffering. He had given up his life.
His name was because the gods called him the thirty-seventh messenger, so he simply called himself thirty-seven.
After hearing this story, the young man felt that the other party was lying to him, so he treated the pastor even more harshly, and sometimes even tested him with some lies.
After repeated attempts failed, the young man had a new idea - maybe he just needed to prove that he was a liar, and that in fact he didn't care about others as much as he showed.
So, the boy and his friends organized a scam - he knew that he had deceived the priest many times, so he might as well take advantage of this and let his friends tell him that he was in danger. He would not believe it.
If you do, you only need to casually create a few wounds on your body, and then you can step out and rebuke the other person's hypocrisy and reveal his true colors in front of everyone.
The boy didn't realize that his logic was so far-fetched. In fact, the boy had never seen the pastor do anything bad. Even if he played a prank on him, he would just laugh it off. He didn't think the pastor was suspicious, he just
I feel like...such kind people shouldn't exist at all.
Therefore, even the "imperfections" created by lies are enough to make the young man feel at ease.
The plan was quickly implemented. In order to make the whole thing look more real, the young man walked out of the city alone, counting the time in the wilderness, waiting excitedly to "expose" Thirty-Seven's "false" face.
moment.
It's just... not everything in this world goes according to one's will. Accidents always happen inadvertently.
Maybe some evil cult was engaged in some conspiracy, or the boy was simply unlucky. Just when he was feeling complacent and seemed to have seen his victory, a group of undead creatures of unknown origin appeared.
Although the young man has received training, he has not yet taken the oath to gain power. What's more, he has no weapons around him at this time. When facing the evil undead creatures, he is as weak and powerless as a rabbit facing an evil tiger.
And just when the young man had nowhere to escape and fell into despair - the priest appeared. He dragged his panting body, brandished his long sword, and blocked the young man.
At that moment, the boy seemed to see... a hero.
Although the priest who devoted himself to the field of protection knew how to protect the boy, there were too many enemies, and he was not the type who specialized in frontal combat.
When the long sword fell and eliminated the last undead creature, the priest's body was already riddled with holes, and at this time he was no longer able to recover for himself - rather, it was a miracle that he could fight to the end.
.
The pastor stretched out his hand and put it on the boy's shoulder. Just when the boy thought he would be scolded, all he heard was - "Great, you're okay..."
When Thirty-Seven's hand touched his shoulder, the young man seemed to feel something appearing in his soul, as if a seed could not grow after being moistened by the rain.
The suppressed crazy growth quickly sprouted out of the ground...
But before the boy could say anything, Sanqi's hand dropped heavily and he slowly closed his eyes. No matter how much the boy cried, he didn't react at all...
"I...swear to you." The young man at that time murmured while hugging the pastor's body that was gradually losing its warmth.
At the same time, the boy's short dark hair suddenly began to grow wildly, from a short cut to shoulder-length hair in almost a few breaths, and the color gradually changed from the initial dark black to light yellow, and then to gold.
"From now on, I am your successor. I am not worthy of using your title, and I dare not move it forward by one without authorization. So... I am thirty-seven point five." His hair also changed with him.
His pupils slowly turned red-gold as tears slowly flowed down his cheeks and dripped on the ground.
"From today on, I will take over your mission and carry out God's will on your behalf; I will hate evil as much as hatred and show no mercy to evildoers; I will spread goodwill and protect every innocent person; I will pursue victory, even if it means doing anything to achieve it.
;If unfortunately an innocent person is implicated, I will do my best to compensate for the consequences..."
"I want... to be a hero for you."
The young man raised his head and looked up at the stars. His immature face was filled with resentment and regret, but at the same time, he was also extremely determined. This night, a hero and a lost soul were walking in the wilderness.
Disappeared. A paladin who awakened the divine soul...was born.
Later, Thirty-seven point five found out about the church where the pastor was previously, and joined them as a knight of the order. As if to atone for his sins, he accepted almost crazily and completed every task assigned to him by the church.
Occasionally at night, at thirty-seven after finishing the prayer, I would walk out of the house, raise my head, look up at the starry sky, and murmur to myself: "Should I get closer to you... Thirty-seven?"
