Gwen felt that his condition was improving rapidly. His brain was gradually waking up, and his control of his body had reached a level where he could move freely. He finally had the energy to pay attention to the girl who was still being held. "Say … what's going on?"
The half-elf girl had been trying to keep a low profile before this, hoping that these people of the Cecil family would forget that someone had dug up their ancestral grave in the great shock of 'meeting the ancestor'. But before she could find a chance to slip away, Gwen looked at her. So, the unlucky thief could only shrink her neck and put on a pitiful look. "I just want to come in and hide …"
"Hide? Do you need to go all the way to the deepest part of the tomb?" Heti immediately glared at Gwen and said, "Ancestor, it's this despicable grave robber who desecrated your peace and disturbed your sleep!"
Gwen was stunned for a moment. He looked at the half-elf girl with a strange look. "So … you're the one who woke me up?"
If it were not for the limitation of the human body, the thief would have shrunk her head into her pelvic cavity. Her voice trembled. "I really didn't do anything! I really wanted to find a safe place to hide at first, but after I got in, I accidentally got into the tomb because of my occupational disease. But when I got into the tomb, I didn't do anything … "
Gwen thought for a moment and said seriously, "Anyway, thank you."
Miss Thief: "… Huh?"
Everyone, including Rebecca and Heti, was stunned. "… Huh?"
"Ahem, let her go. It's not nice for four men to hold a little girl like this." After saying thank you, Gwen realized that something was wrong, but he could not change his mind. He had to bite the bullet and continue. "It's not in the spirit of Knight. Well, the spirit of Knight."
Heti's face flashed with hesitation. "But ancestor, she's …"
"I want to thank her for waking me up from my sleep," Gwen said, waving his hand. "Let her go. I don't have a problem with it. What else do you want to say?"
Byron and Knight looked at the 'ancestor of Cecil' with a strange look. Finally, under the signal of Heti's eyes, they kept their longswords. The three soldiers next to them also stepped back.
The half-elf girl looked around and confirmed that this wasn't a prank. She then stood up carefully, and confirmed with Gawain, "Erm, you're an elder, so you have to keep your word. Don't go back on your words!"
The corner of Heidi's eyes twitched. She suppressed her impulse to beat the grave robber up with her noble manners that she had cultivated for many years.
Gawain looked at the girl curiously. From the memories he had just inherited, he could tell that she was a mixed-blood elf. "What's your name?"
The half-elf girl blinked. "Amber."
..................... Amber....... She has the style of the forest elves … "
At this time, Heti suddenly interrupted the conversation between Gwen and the half-elf who called herself Amber. "Ancestor, I have to interrupt you. Now is not the time to chat. We are not safe now!"
Gwen tried to put himself in the shoes of his new identity. He looked at Heti seriously. "What happened outside?"
"Monsters!" Rebecca, who had been silent for a long time, said loudly. "Monsters came from the Salin Road and the mine! The army and the security team in the territory are no match for those monsters. I'm afraid that the outside has been completely occupied by those guys … "
"We tried our best to organize a resistance. Before the situation completely collapsed, Knight Philip and some of the soldiers covered the civilians and took refuge. But before the second batch of refugees left, the monsters destroyed the drawbridge," Heti added. "Rebecca and I did not disgrace the reputation of the Cecil family. So did the brave warriors. We fought in the castle until the last moment. Until the gate of the inner court was breached, we had to retreat here."
Gwen then asked a few more questions and finally pieced together the outline of the whole thing.
This was the ancestral territory of the Cecil family from the first ancestor to the present day. The little girl, Rebecca, who was holding an iron wand and looked like a high school girl, was the current lord of this territory. When the monsters attacked, the young lord did try her best to organize a resistance, but obviously, it failed. The monsters eventually destroyed all the defenses and slaughtered all the humans along the way. After the first batch of survivors was evacuated, Rebecca and the remaining soldiers were trapped in the castle. They fought for a long time, but in the end, the castle was breached, and they had to retreat into the ancestral tombs below the castle.
Then, they happened to encounter their own zombies … Oh, possession.
The beautiful lady named Heti was actually Rebecca's aunt.
But these seniority relationships were meaningless to Gwen. After all, they were all great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughters. One more great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughters.
As for the half-elf named Amber, she was indeed a bandit, but this time, she was really looking for a place to take refuge. But this bandit lady's skills were really superb. She actually went all the way to the deepest chamber of the Cecil family's ancestral tombs.
"I woke up to such a mess …" Gwen rubbed his forehead, thinking about how to solve the current crisis. He also searched for information in his memory that could help. "So, those monsters have completely occupied the surface. Going out is a dead end. Speaking of which, the monsters keep screaming. What are those things? "
"I guess it's some kind of demon subspecies," Heti said. "But demons have not appeared in the main material world for many years. I'm not sure if it's on such a large scale."
Rebecca held the wand and looked at Gwen hopefully. "Ancestor, can't you deal with the monsters outside with your power?"
Gwen was stunned. "Me?"
"Yes! Legend has it that you are the most powerful Knight in the Ansu Kingdom, or even the entire Northern Continent. " Rebecca's eyes almost began to sparkle. "It is said that you killed the barbarian warlord Gulg with a single slash …"
Gawain hurriedly searched his memories and was shocked. Gawain Cecil was actually a Legendary-level powerhouse!
He was the greatest hero of the Ansu Kingdom's pioneering era, and also one of the earliest pioneers of the 'Second Pioneering' era.
In the dark age when the ancient Kingdom of Gondor collapsed, the remnants of the empire returned to the chaotic wilderness, and the light of human civilization was gradually swallowed by the Chaos Tide that spread from the hinterland of the continent. Gwen Cecil and a group of heroes of the same era led the surviving humans to escape the ruins of the collapsed empire and marched in four directions. One of the groups heading north was the ancestors of the Ansu Kingdom, and Gwen Cecil was among them.
His life was extremely short but glorious. He set out as a fifteen-year-old boy and became the youngest pioneering Knight. He and the other pioneering Knights and the first Ansu King used ten years to build a new kingdom in the north of the continent and pulled humans back into civilization and order. After the founding of the Ansu Kingdom, he became one of the seven generals of the kingdom and guarded the southern border. He withstood dozens of counterattacks from the Dark Tide, big and small, and never tasted defeat.
But such a glorious life was like a candle that burned too fiercely. This legendary figure only lived to the age of thirty-five, and in the last battle against the Dark Tide, Gwen Cecil died of exhaustion.
That was the end of the inherited memory.
This was the life of this hero.
Gwen felt his forehead throbbing.
He had possessed an incredible person's body!
He did not feel complacent, nor did he feel fear. After a brief moment of shock, his biggest reaction was … uncertainty.
Rebecca was looking at him hopefully, and Amber had the same expression. Even Lady Heti, who looked the most mature and steady, was looking at him with eyes full of expectation and trust.
But they were looking at Gwen Cecil, not Gwen.
Gawain lowered his head and looked at his hands. They were the hands of a warrior. They were broad, thick, and covered in thick calluses. However, he did not know how much power he could exert while controlling this body.
But this state of uncertainty did not last long, because Gwen's own memory came alive. It was a memory of tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Although there was not much substantial content in these memories, it was enough to quickly correct his attitude and fill him with confidence.
He admitted that he was a little surprised by Gwen Cecil's legendary life, but what he needed now was not shock and wavering, but to strengthen himself.
The source of this confidence was very simple —
Long before the intelligent creatures on this continent could walk upright, he had been watching this world!
He knew that these memories would not be of any substantial help, but at this moment, he just needed to encourage himself.
Then, with this motivation, he would find a way to survive.
And once he calmed down, there would naturally be a way.
He quickly found something useful in Gwen Cecil's memory.
"It's unrealistic to fight our way out," Gwen said seriously, rubbing his chin. "I've been asleep for too long, and I may not be able to exert much of my strength. And we can't be sure how strong the monsters outside are, so the best way is to find a way to avoid those monsters and run to a safe place."
Rebecca said, "But the suspension bridge has been destroyed, and the other roads have been blocked —"
Gwen waved his hand and interrupted his great-granddaughter. "Underground, Cecil Hill used to be part of the kingdom's southern defense line. There's a secret tunnel system underground, the main body of which is blessed by the earth element, and it will not collapse even after a thousand years. The entrance of this secret tunnel is under the castle."
"There's such a thing?!" Rebecca suddenly looked surprised. "What are we waiting for? Let's find the tunnel! Ancestor, please lead the way! "
"But there's a problem." Gwen spread out his hands. "I only know the way from the castle, but I don't know the way from the tomb."
Rebecca looked surprised. "You've lived here for so long, but you don't know the way here?"
Gwen: "…"
Byron, Knight, and the soldiers: "…"
