The whole audience was speechless.
Rean and the reddish-faced Du Barry quietly picked flowers, while Shelly, Laura, Agathe and others waited quietly.
The process of picking flowers didn't last long.
The fact that it can grow naturally near Hamel, which has been abandoned for more than ten years, shows that this is not a delicate flower. It is not difficult to pick as long as the roots are not damaged.
Soon, the two picked a large handful.
Then they were distributed one by one to other people waiting nearby.
When Fei was assigned, she warned aloud: "What we did just now was a bit too dangerous."
Although her voice was not loud, she did not lower it deliberately. Shelly also heard it and smiled: "Yeah, I think so too. Maybe the guy from the Gray Knight is confident that he can deal with me and 'Godspeed', but have you ever thought about it?" , what if Gareth has a sniper rifle nearby?"
As soon as these words came out, Laura and Agathe's expressions changed, and they immediately entered a state of alert. They each held their weapons, ready to use them as shields at any time.
Rean waved his hands to the two of them, indicating that they should not be nervous.
"That is indeed a bit dangerous, but this requires a prerequisite. Miss Du Barry is willing to cooperate with you."
"You mean she won't cooperate with me?" Shelly held flowers in one hand and a red skull in the other, looking at Li En with interest.
"No." Du Barry shook his head bluntly, "Maybe in other places, but not here."
Rean spread his hands, as if to say - look.
"Hey, hey." Shelly protested dissatisfied.
We are our companions, right? There are only a few of us, so what do you mean if you don't help me and help the enemy?
Du Barry ignored her and turned to Li En: "Li En Schwarzer, you just said that you had some understanding of my personality and experience before making such a judgment. I want to hear the basis."
"It's very simple."
Rean does understand, and he understands it well enough.
Not to mention that before returning, Du Barry finally became his companion and helped him solve the curse problem together.
Just from his experience in the civil war a year and a half ago, Rean could conclude that Du Barry would not play tricks at this time.
"Laura, you have fought against her the most. What kind of person do you think she is?"
Laura told the truth: "She is an upright person. Although I don't know why she joined the association, and sometimes she gets confused, but I can see the shadow of the past knights in her body and her sword."
"That's it."
Rean nodded.
Du Barry is similar to Laura. They are both the kind of people who write it all on their faces when something happens and are easy to understand.
Besides this there is another point.
"I don't know if you still remember our first meeting with Miss Du Barry during the civil war a year and a half ago."
"Remember it was on the outskirts of Baliyahat, when we went to pick up Jussis."
Elliot responded, and he was in the group at the time.
"Appearing with her is Executor No. 1 'Jie Yan' Macbon."
"That's right." Rean nodded for the second time. "There was a conversation at that time that impressed me deeply - Macbon said that Miss Du Barry had defeated 'Sword Emperor' Reinhardt once."
"Eh? Can you beat that guy?" Agathe was slightly stunned and looked at Du Barry in disbelief.
This girl doesn't look like a monster. How did she win? Could it be that I made a mistake?
"Well~ It's just one time out of a hundred." Du Barry was proud and a little embarrassed at first, and then turned into deep nostalgia.
"I'm telling you." Agathe breathed out, no different from saying how you could beat that guy.
Du Barry looked crazy: "What's your attitude? Do you want to fight?"
"Just what I wanted. I came here to fight." Agathe grinned, which looked particularly ferocious with the scar on his face.
Instead, the most belligerent Xie Li stood between the two of them, separated their sight with her body, and said: "There will be many opportunities to fight later, so go and lay flowers first."
The two people who were at war with each other finally gave up, and Li En continued: "A hundred times, that is to say, Miss Du Barry and the 'Sword Emperor' have competed at least a hundred times. If they are not very close, they will not compete so many times. That’s right.”
"So that's it." Agathe finally understood. "This is the hometown of that guy, and his sword was finally sent back here - indeed, friends would not use sacrifices to set traps."
Du Barry shook his head as an admission, then turned around and said: "Come with me, I will take you to the memorial monument."
Shelly finally put the red skull back on her back and followed.
Li En and others didn't say much and followed silently.
No one spoke along the way, for fear of disturbing the souls sleeping here.
In this way, we walked all the way through the last section of the mountain road, passed the village with only a piece of ruins left, and walked up the southernmost hillside of the village.
There is a memorial tablet carved from stone. In front of the memorial tablet is a pale golden one-handed sword with a strange style. Perhaps because it has not been used for a long time, the surface of the sword is dull. It was as if he had fallen into an eternal sleep with his master.
Du Barry was the first to walk over, put the bouquet in front of the sword, knelt on his knees, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and prayed silently for his friends and the dead.
Shelly did not kneel down. After laying flowers, she closed her eyes and observed silence to express her condolences.
She and Hamel have no intersection, so there is no need for too grand an expression.
Li En and others did the same, laying flowers and observing silence.
The moment he closed his eyes, an inexplicable throbbing swept through his body.
Pictures flashed before my eyes like old photos.
There were girls and boys watching the young man practice his sword.
There were boys and teenagers lying on the grass listening to the girl playing the harmonica.
There was also a snowy night, when a middle-aged man with a resolute face was hobbling around carrying a five-year-old child on his back.
They were all scenes that Rean had seen before coming back, and the scene memories were recorded by the spiritual vein nodes for some reasons.
Except for the last picture, which shows his biological father Osborne and himself as key figures, the first two pictures should be Hamel's most profound imprint.
Perhaps the Sword Emperor existed among them, because the boy was holding a one-handed sword that was about the same length as the sword in front of the tomb.
Regardless of whether it is the Sword Emperor or not, please bless me that everything goes well.
Because the enemy I am about to face is the biggest culprit that caused the Hamel Massacre, and is also the source of the empire's thousand-year turmoil.
As long as the root cause is not eliminated, a new Hamel tragedy may occur, or even an even more extreme hell on earth.
so--
please.
Rean sincerely prays.
The moment he opened his eyes, the throbbing came again.
But there was no picture emerging like before, it was just a trembling rhythm with the heartbeat.
The source of the tremor was clearly the dimmed golden sword.
What's even more surprising is that as the body trembles, the originally stable spiritual energy in the body actually has a tendency to surge towards the hilt of the sword, as if calling to Rean.
