Major Claude calmly looked at Allen who had fallen asleep, silent, and the dancing light from the torch reflected his face that had been eroded by time. His expression was resolute, his eyes were bright, but deep in his heart he had mixed feelings.
.
"Captain?..." Harry reminded him softly as he looked at Claude who was alone and dazed.
"I'm afraid this boy is our only hope to escape from here..."
The scorching bonfire was burning, flickering on and off, and the shadows shining on the bluestone wall flickered and danced. A group of people were waiting, waiting for the hope that had been extinguished.
However, hope never dies, only the human heart can die...
Allen was feeling hot all over his body at this time. Countless heat waves were hitting his brain, making him feel that his brain was swelling and painful, and his whole body was hot, but he couldn't sweat. Allen struggled repeatedly in this half-dream and half-awake state.
Rolling back and forth, I don’t know how long passed in this groggy darkness...
At this time, Allen suddenly felt a slight chill on his forehead. He reluctantly opened his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking in front of him. After struggling for a while, Allen finally woke up.
"You finally woke up." Claude looked at Allen seriously, very concerned, and then added: "You seemed to have a fever just now."
"Really?" Allen still felt a little weak at this time. He looked at the towel in Claude's hand and felt grateful again.
Allen felt his body, his blood control moved slightly, and the blood in his body circulated rapidly for a week. He was surprised to feel that he had actually been promoted!
Third Viscount!
This kind of bloodline perception is unmistakable. In an instant, the changes in the bloodline ability related to space tearing and blood control also vaguely emerged in the mind.
In fact, after Allen absorbed two drops of the prince's essence and blood, the energy in his body was already excessive and was forcibly suppressed and stored in his body. The reason why he could not be promoted was that he had never used his bloodline ability at that time to control his own energy.
He didn't even have the slightest understanding of his spiritual power. The essence and blood of the few lieutenants just now, coupled with the battle against the strong men at the school officer level, and the sense of crisis of PUBG's escape. Under the combined stimulation of all factors, Allen finally
It's a promotion!
"What time is it now?..." Allen asked. As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt his mouth was dry and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Eight o'clock in the evening. But to be precise, you have been sleeping for three days and three nights..." Claude was keenly aware of Allen's condition and took a glass of water and handed it to him.
"Ah!?...Three days and three nights!?" Allen couldn't help but exclaimed that he had slept for so long! At the same time, he took the water and drank it in one gulp, and then continued to ask: "Then what are you doing?
What's going on?...Here again?..."
At this time, two to three hundred people were surrounding them one after another, and a bonfire was burning in the middle of the warehouse. The expressions of the people surrounding them were all full of heaviness, sadness and despair...
Claude had mixed feelings. He was silent for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then he spoke...
More than twenty years ago, one of their regiments of Templars was ordered to investigate rumors of missing persons in Belgrade. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Dick, they entered the small city of Belgrade, also known as Paradise Lost.
After the troops entered the city, they quickly received an invitation from the city lord's palace, which cleared a block as a camp for the troops to accommodate them. At first, everyone did not doubt that he was there, so they all moved in. However, after a few
God, everyone, especially the officers, soon discovered the place.
There were strange things in all aspects, and everyone tried to launch an investigation. However, the leader of the regiment at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Dick, ordered everyone to stay put and not to take any action. A group of people did not dare to disobey, so they had to obey the order. After all,
, the Knights Templar have always enforced strict orders and strict military orders.
Time passed like this, and after about a week, many small groups of Templars soon seemed to have collective amnesia or changed completely. They all felt that they were locals and Belgrade's city defense force, and they swore an oath.
Be unconditionally loyal to the city lord.
Claude continued to recall, saying: "At that time, I also had this idea in my mind. It was strange. Countless pictures that did not belong to my memory were filled in my mind..."
"Then what are you doing?..." Alan asked quickly, he was very curious and concerned.
"Maybe it's because the vampire wants to tamper with so many people's memories at once, but it's a bit incapable of doing so?" Claude said solemnly: "At that time, my memory was very unstable. Sometimes I was sober, and sometimes I was confused...
"
"You have discovered memory manipulation!" Allen said in surprise.
"Of course, in fact, we all knew it more than 20 years ago. At that time, many brothers who were worried about gains and losses discovered the anomaly, so we gathered together and wanted to leave from here." Claude recalled with difficulty.
: "However, Lieutenant Colonel Dick led the brothers who have been completely lost to block the city gate. We can't rush through."
"Seeing that we couldn't get out and were afraid that we would be completely lost, we all gathered together and tried to find a way out." At this time, the man named Harry suddenly added.
"I see, that's why you found this underground sewer and hid in the underground warehouse here." Allen roughly understood.
Belgrade was once a border city. After being baptized by the flames of war, a large armory was actually built underground in the city, where a lot of war materials and food were stored to deal with possible sieges in the future.
Claude and a group of others entered the underground armory. Isolated by the thick ground, everyone found that their memories were no longer chaotic. They also relied on repeatedly reciting the oath of joining the Templar Knights loudly, trying to remember it.
Knowing one's own identity and repeating such self-warnings can stabilize one's memory to a great extent.
At first, there were thousands of Templars hiding in the underground armory. However, some people really couldn't bear the days of sneaking around like mice, so they chose to leave and return to the surface. Some people would rather
I went up to have my memory modified, just to live a good life, and I don't want to continue hiding in this dark underground, living like a year. Only the warriors with the strongest faith in the Supreme God can persist until now...
The remaining people opened several wells near the sewer and had a water source. However, twenty years was too long, and the food stored in the armory was gradually depleted, and was eventually used up. So
, a group of former Templars had to disguise themselves as beggars, occasionally sneaking up to the ground to beg, or simply steal some food. In short, these people persisted all the way and survived until now.
