Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End

"So that's it! That means Williams can help me explore historical fragments together?"

[Yes, but... actually this armor has another function]

"Is there still a function?"

Hearing Roja's surprise question, Teresa nodded. She remained silent, writing down the core function of the Shadow Armor and the heaviest content of the oath on paper.

[When the test of Alder's blood cannot be completed, he will die for you and send you back to the world]

"..."

Under the street lights at night, the black-haired boy froze as he watched the girl's sentence, his smile slowly disappearing into nothingness.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

The Alder family, this is a powerful and famous family among the extraordinary people with many bloodlines in Shia. Its ability involves the ancient gods who have passed away, and it is a powerful ability that many people cannot understand.

But even so, it cannot escape the iron law of Shia's extraordinary power, that is, great power must be accompanied by a huge price, and under this ruthless exchange of equal value, the Alder family has also paid a painful price in history. At the same time, family members often died because they could not pass the test of historical fragments.

As the shadow eagles of the ancient Austin Empire, the Alder family was actually quite prosperous in the second era, but even so, there were still not many awakened bloodlines, and most of them were ordinary people like Wendy and Estred. Extraordinary, from this point we can see the heavy price of the king's blood.

In response to this, Alder's ancestors have thought of various ways to improve the survival rate of descendants during this long history, and the most extreme product among them is the Shadow Armor.

The user of the Shadow Armor must be a young man of the same generation as the sworn Alder family. The stimulation of the armor can ensure that the user's strength will not be left behind by Alder's bloodlines, so that he can serve Alder Bloodlines provide some help.

And its core function is to use the principle that the historical fragments will automatically disappear when the awakened Alder bloodline dies. When the test of the historical fragments fails or is destined to be impossible to complete, the sacrifice of the user of the shadow martial armor is used to deceive history. Fragments, in exchange for the survival of the blood of the Alder family.

After knowing the truth about the Shadow Armor, Roja finally understood what the so-called Shadow Armor was. The users of the Shadow Armor and those who swore with Alder were actually their most trusted dead soldiers in ancient times. Like the shadow dancer of the emperor, he is responsible for the task of dying for him at critical moments.

On the street at night, the black-haired boy sat silently at the table. Not far away, students were laughing and chatting. However, under the street lamp, Roja's face was ashen. Beside him, the pink-haired The young girl stopped writing, with a disturbed expression on her face.

Roja was angry, this was a fact that the girl could feel without asking, and it was also the first time Teresa saw Roja like this.

In Teresa's eyes, the boy has always been gentle. The only time he got angry was when the auditorium was rioting, but even then, Teresa felt less than one-tenth of the anger he feels now.

The panicked girl didn't know what to do, but seemed to have noticed Teresa's situation, Roja took the initiative to speak, with a hoarse voice to comfort her.

"Sorry, I was a little surprised to hear this all of a sudden, and I accidentally scared you... Teresa, do you have anything else to tell me about Williams?"

Looking at Roja who was so inquiring, the pink-haired girl hesitated. After thinking for a while, Teresa wrote again:

【Actually, Williams has always felt guilty towards you】

Chapter 390 IX is the same as in the story (4k5)

Guilty, to me?

At the table by the side of the road, the black-haired boy looked at Teresa with a puzzled expression, and the pink-haired girl nodded and wrote:

[Normally, the natural awakening of your family will make the users of the Shadow Armor feel something and take action, but for so many years, Williams has not felt anything]

[He thinks this is his fault, so the idea of ​​avoiding the third prophecy and taking you away from here is particularly strong]

"..."

Looking at the words in Teresa's notebook, Roja fell silent again. Williams felt that it was his fault that he didn't sense Roja, but the fact was completely different. The reason why he couldn't sense Roja was very simple. It is that Roja is not a naturally awakened bloodline user, but forcibly broke through with the help of the system.

As for the so-called guilt, in Roja's view, it is even more impossible to talk about.

The agitated boy clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and searched for the source of the nameless anger in his heart.

After knowing a series of things about Williams, Roja, who got a "gold medal for avoiding death", did not feel joy, but was angry, but I have to say that he actually understood the Alder family's situation intellectually. way of doing it.

In ancient times, various clans did countless immoral things in order to pass on their own bloodlines. This method of the Alder clan was not prominent among them, and judging from the strength and importance of the bloodlines, the choice of king The blood of the king is indeed worthy of such protection. If you exchange it with any blood, you will never lose the blood of the king's election for this world.

Are the Alders wrong?From their point of view, there is nothing wrong. The armor users they are looking for are obviously voluntary. They must have received their great kindness and are willing to repay them with death. The purpose of doing this is only to prevent the tribe from awakening their blood resulting in sudden death.

One is willing to repay each other with death, and the other has the reasons and obligations to do so. The two hit it off. If it happened to others, Roja would never blame him, but Roja couldn't accept this kind of thing happened to him.

Under the street lamp, the black-haired boy opened his eyes. He calmly looked at the girl beside him and said softly:

"Miss Teresa, I already understand what you said, but I'm sorry...I don't want to be Williams' swearer."

"!"

Hearing what Roja said after a long silence, the pink-haired girl couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly. After thinking for a while, she picked up a pen and wrote:

【Why, Williams is very strong, so it must be of great help to Mr. Roja, right? 】

"That's right, that's true, but Miss Teresa, don't you think that the Alder family is different from our Akat family?"

Facing Roja's sudden question, the pink-haired girl paused her pen, blinked for a while and didn't know how to answer. The black-haired boy smiled and said lightly:

"It's very simple. If the Alder family is the ancient kings in the dark, then we are the proud warriors in the desperate situation."

Looking at the starry sky in the distance, the black-haired boy sighed under Teresa's surprised gaze:

"Since the third era, the inheritance of the Akat family has been severed. For thousands of years, the awakened members of the Akat family have no books, no records, no secret techniques, and no such so-called vows. From that moment on, we were in a desperate situation, but none of us died because of it, why is that?"

"The reason is very simple, because we are fighters against fate, against the fate of mortality, against the fate of family decline, and against the unfortunate fate of loved ones around us. We are in a desperate situation, but we never bow to fate. It is our spirit and our glory, and it is because of this that Acate can survive for thousands of years after the inheritance is cut off."

"The ancient king may avoid these dangers cleverly, but as a warrior of the Acate family, using others as tools to die on his own behalf deeply insults my pride as a warrior. Doing so not only It will dust the powerful roots of our family, and it will make my partners who follow me look down."

The boy's resolute voice made the eyes of the girl beside him widen, and on the far side, the white-haired witch silently chanted the name of the hero and curled up her mouth, and the goddess of the earth closed her eyes with peace of mind. In the blood-colored plain, the huge His bone-like eyes burst out with brilliance, which came from the appreciation of an equally great warrior.

"Although I have always been cautious and careful, and tried my best to survive, I haven't reached the point where I need someone to die in my place. Every era has a different historical environment, and everyone has their own moral standards. I have no intention of condemning Ancestor Wendy, I am grateful for the plan she prepared for me, but sorry, I cannot accept it."

Roja did not deny the concerns and actions of the ancestors of the Alder family, but as the saying goes, what a man does and what he does not do, Roja will never back down on some choices.
