Wearing heavy armor to climb the mountain peak - Hao Ren thought that the knights in front of him were ordinary humans at first, but after seeing these people wearing dozens of kilograms of full-body armor and various weapons including long swords, throwing axes, and crossbows, all the way to the top of the mountain as if they were walking on the ground, and barely breathing, he realized that these guys in front of him were probably superhumans in another sense.The ancient doors of the temple had collapsed, the open doors and the void above the main hall had made it completely insulatory, and many parts of the sanctuary had been covered in dust and rubble over the centuries, and the empty hall could not provide any comfortable rest, but even this terrible situation was precious to the exhausted knights.As Hao Ren said, there is no chaos mist on the holy mountain.Perhaps it was the temple that had been abandoned for many years that still provided a faint shelter that prevented Chaos from invading it, and the moment she stepped into the temple, Veronica felt a reassuring aura flow into her heart.She glanced at Hao Ren gratefully, and then sat on the ground with a sigh of relief, and the other knights were no better than her."
Your Royal Highness Princess......"
The old knight Morian couldn't help but speak, but Veronica waved his hand: "Sir, don't worry so much, it's important to recover your strength, I can feel the power of order here, although it is weak, but it is enough to dispel chaos, and it is safe here." ”Morian blinked, there was no doubt about the talent of "detecting chaos" in the royal blood of the Talos, so he also sighed, removed the gauntlets and waist armor that were in the way, and put the long sword within reach, but the man still stood straight next to his princess."
Incredible...... the old knight looked around the abandoned temple, his gaze swept over the ancient and exquisite fresco reliefs, and then he gazed at the statues of the ancient heroes for a long time, and finally he saw the large hollow above the temple, and what floated without gravity in the hollow position, "......
This is the legacy of the previous generation, but I didn't expect that there really was such a holy place left in this barren wilderness......
I've seen a lot in my life. ”"As I said, there must be good things in those ancient books," Veronica smiled weakly, although she was the leader of the younger generation in the kingdom, she was still too young after all, and the fatigue accumulated over the days was suddenly released, she felt that she could barely stand up, she looked at her current embarrassed appearance, and shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, "Those old fellows in the House of Lords must be going to lash out again when they see my unseemly appearance— It's been a long time since last year's festival that they've found a reason to baash me. ”"Civility, legitimacy," Morian shook his head, his tone full of disdain, "those guys, even if they are thrown to the borders of Chaos, they will only talk about decency and etiquette to the servants of Chaos. ”Veronica smiled, then turned to look at Hao Ren, "Mighty hermit, thank you for your help, and please forgive me for being rude at this moment—my knights and I are so tired."
Am I the eldest daughter of the king of the kingdom of Taros, Veronica?
Saint?
Talos. ”The knight princess was a glance when she spoke, but her body was still lazily leaning on the stone wall behind her, looking nondescript, but she was a lover, and Hao Ren was slightly surprised after hearing the other party's self-introduction: I didn't expect that the bloody, embarrassed, and indecent girl in front of her was still a princess, has it been so easy to trigger the plot task these years?
How to go out to save an individual, the family components are all relatives of the royal family......
However, after a slight surprise, he was more indifferent, because the princess is really not a rare creature for him, and there is a princess of the demon world at home.This kind of indifference in Veronica's eyes has another meaning.Hao Ren didn't know what was going on in the mind of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he just quickly remembered his almighty self-introduction: "Oh, Your Highness the Princess, hello, hello, I'm a traveling ...... passing through here" He choked back before he could finish speaking, because he suddenly remembered the natural environment nearby: a stone mountain with no grass, a barren and dead wilderness, and legions of monsters surging out of the fog - although he didn't know what those monsters and the fog were, But it's clear that the places where these things are entrenched are definitely not suitable for road trips.Looking at the tragic appearance of these royal regular armies in front of him who were about to be wiped out in the wilderness, Hao Ren estimated that the most deadly traveler in this world probably didn't have to collect wind in this ghost place.The thoughts in his mind were spinning fast, and his mouth was not slow to react: "......
Ah, I can't seem to remember where I came from. ”Veronica had a puzzled look on her face, "You......
Is it amnesia?
”"Not really, it's just that my brain is a little confused," Hao Ren scratched his hair, "As soon as I woke up, I found myself in this place, vaguely remembering some things here, but I was confused about the situation in the outside world.Who do you think I am?
”"Amnesia......
Awakening?
”Veronica frowned, quickly assembling in her mind the knowledge she had gathered from the royal collection and her own mentor, "That seems to make sense......
Have you been sleeping in this temple since the holy war years ago?
”"Jihad?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, "Oh, by the way, Holy War, I remember that there was a war here before I went to sleep." ”Veronica had a sudden look on her face, watching Hao Ren's gaze become more serious and awe-inspiring.And in this short conversation, Hao Ren also roughly guessed the thoughts of Her Royal Highness the princess in front of him.She probably thought of herself as an ancient person who had been sleeping in this temple for many years - since there was a temple on this stone mountain, it meant that this place had not always been so barren, perhaps many years ago this was also a thriving religious holy place, but time has passed, this place has been swallowed up by the wilderness, and he, the guy who ran out of the temple, naturally can't help but think of the legend of the ancient sleeping man.In a world where magic exists, such a thing does not seem so unthinkable.Anyway, after working in the position of censor for several years, Hao Ren has already developed the habit of facing any situation with the greatest compatibility, no matter what happens, he will remain unfazed and accept it calmly, which is the prerequisite for smoothly integrating into any observation role.So he tried not to speak, and listened to the conversation between Her Royal Highness the princess in front of him and the old knight beside her, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, but barely revealing any valuable information—perfectly fitting the identity of an "ancient guardian" who had been sleeping in the temple for many years and did not care about the world."
When did you wake up?"
Veronica looked at Hao Ren curiously, the dress of the man in front of her made her feel very novel, this dress was clean and tidy, and there was no sign of sleeping with the owner for many years, which made her wonder, "Did the ancients of the previous generation wear this kind of clothes?"
”"It's only been a few days since I woke up," Hao Ren shook his head, "I don't know much about the last generation.What is the situation in the outside world now?
Is there still a war?
”Just blindly speaking cautiously will also make you fall into passivity, and ask questions before the other party asks more difficult questions to gain the initiative, which is also Hao Ren's work experience."
Peace never really came to the land of Kolo," spoke up as the old knight beside Veronica, "The Servants of Chaos come every century, and each time they are more and more aggressive, this year is the seventh year of the Chaos Wars, they have come more ferociously than any recorded in history, and many orders have fallen. ”Veronica also had a look of shame on her face: "We are ashamed of our ancestors who fought valiantly, in the seventh year of Chaos' strike, we have lost more land than in any previous century, and the borders of order have receded to the vicinity of the Wall of Dusk......
The Order Nation has stabilized the defenses of the Wall of Dusk, but the land outside is now half-polluted. ”Hao Ren turned his face slightly: Her Royal Highness the princess was sorry for her ancestors, and he felt that he could not afford this fake "ancient guardian......
However, the words of the old knight and Veronica also gave him some interesting information, which made him think: the place seemed to be plagued by a long discontinuous war, and every century an enemy called "Chaos" would invade the civilized world, and the people of this world seemed to have their own way of resisting the incursion, but their resistance was still difficult.He had already seen the Disaster of the Origin Blood of the eldest son, the evil order of the Brain Monster, and the army of the Rebel Son on the dream plane, but what was this "Chaos"?
Maybe it has something to do with the "Lord of Madness" on the Dream Plane?
But he had already come into contact with the shadow monsters summoned by the cosmic fragments, and he had just greeted the monsters condensed from the mist, and the two didn't seem to be quite the same......
