When Hao Ren and the rest came out of the temple, they saw several tribal warriors waiting outside with their horses. It was more than ten kilometers from the temple to the tribal settlement. They must have run all the way here.
It seemed that Gezer had told the tribal warriors that the goddess was looking for the outlander. That was why they came in such a hurry.
Hessiana stepped forward and said, "Take us to see the guy."
The group returned to the Fire tribe's settlement and saw the 'outlander' who was closely guarded by several soldiers and great warriors in a yurt at the edge of the settlement. The man was wearing a linen robe and looked restless. He was pacing back and forth under the watchful eyes of several soldiers. It was Baptiste, whose whereabouts were unknown.
But his demeanor seemed to be very different from the last time they met. This time, he seemed to be … quite unsettled.
When Hao Ren and the rest entered the yurt, they alerted Baptiste. The latter quickly glanced at them with a confused and cautious look on his face. He subconsciously got into a defensive posture. A holy blade warrior of the Fire tribe walked behind Vivian and told her about the situation when the outlander was captured. "Our patrolling sentinels found this man in the nearby wilderness. He was naked and walking blindly in the wilderness. He seemed to be out of his mind. Two sentinels were wounded by his magic, but the big warriors who heard the news quickly subdued the man. "
"Did he hit his head when he fell?" Hessiana frowned and looked at Baptiste. She did not expect to catch the wizard under such circumstances. The cunning guy had fallen into the hands of the indigenous warriors. "Baptiste, you don't look too good."
Baptiste immediately stared at Hessiana vigilantly. "Who are you? How do you know my name? "
"Oh?" Lily glared at him. "Are you playing dumb? Didn't you want to use us as batteries? Have you forgotten about it? "
Baptiste remained alert and replied in a calm voice, "I don't know who you are, but I do have a lot of enemies. Kill me if you want, but don't expect to get anything out of me."
Hao Ren was stunned. He looked at Vivian, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Amnesia? How did we encounter such a melodramatic thing? "
Vivian looked at Baptiste carefully, but she could not tell if he was playing dumb or he had really lost his memory. She pointed at the MDT on Hao Ren's shoulder. "Doesn't this guy have a lie detector? Let's test it. "
"I happen to have installed such an app. Please don't confuse me with an ordinary lie detector!" The MDT shrieked and floated to Baptiste's head. "What's your name?"
"Baptiste."
"Do you recognize the people in front of you?"
"No impression at all."
"Well, it's all the truth. This guy really lost his memory."
Everyone at the scene was speechless. They had never expected that Baptiste would lose his memory after being caught!
"Could it be that a powerful Magus lost his memory just because he fell from the sky?" Nangong Sanba looked at the others, puzzled. "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
At this time, Gezer suddenly chimed in. "He has no trauma."
No trauma, which meant that Baptiste did not lose his memory because of the fall.
Vivian circled Baptiste curiously and suddenly asked, "Do you remember why you are here?"
"Why should I tell you?" Baptiste looked at Vivian with a hint of sarcasm. "I may have lost my memory, but I'm not stupid."
"If you are not stupid, you should cooperate." Kassandra stood up and pointed at the people in the yurt. "We have more people —"
Baptiste straightened up, his expression unchanged. "So, that's all you can do? I thought you guys are better than that. "
Kassandra was silent for a moment. Then, she pointed at the burly male soldiers. "Local custom, they are gay."
Baptiste was speechless.
"And there are five hundred men and horses out there — five hundred men and horses."
Baptiste's face turned green. "…"
Hao Ren quickly grabbed Hessiana. "What's wrong with your man? Does she always talk like this? "
"Anyway, when I picked her up, she was almost beaten to death," Hessiana said as she slapped Hao Ren's hand away. "Do we know each other that well? Stay away from me! "
Baptiste's expression changed several times before he finally took a breath. "I'm looking for someone."
Kassandra nodded with satisfaction. "Well, it seems that he has not completely lost his memory. Are you looking for a witch named Beatrice?"
Baptiste froze for a moment. His face was full of confusion. "Beatrice … Who is that? She sounds familiar. "
Nangong Sanba was surprised. "Have you forgotten the most important part?"
Vivian suddenly shook her head. "No, maybe it's something else."
She had been carefully observing Baptiste's condition and sensing the flow of energy in the body of this guy, who she could not tell whether he was a human or a ghost. At this time, she seemed to have found something. "Haven't you noticed that his arm has grown back?"
"Arm?" Hao Ren was startled. He suddenly remembered that Lily had cut off Baptiste's arm, but the wizard was standing there with his hands and feet intact.
"And when he jumped into the Abyssal Portal, I saw with my own eyes that he was torn apart by the dimensional storm. The warriors also said that he was running around naked in the wasteland when he was discovered. So I suspect …"
As Vivian spoke, she put her hand on Baptiste's shoulder. The next moment, a bright light suddenly filled everyone's sight.
Powerful magic surged into Baptiste's body. The wizard was obviously in an extremely weak state. Before he could react, he was wrapped in layers of lightning. The next moment, lightning surged, and the wizard was instantly turned into a charred corpse.
However, the charred corpse did not fall. Although it was dead, it stood shakily. Then the ashes on its skin slowly disappeared. Just like the first time they met, Baptiste reappeared from the ashes and charred body. This time, he was' resurrected 'from the state of' death '.
The resurrected wizard opened his eyes. He was so weak that he almost fell to the ground. He looked at the strangers in front of him in horror. Then, as if instinctively, he prepared to fight. His voice was full of confusion. "Who are you?"
Vivian waved her hand to stop Hao Ren from talking. She turned to the wizard and asked, "Why did you suddenly break into Inferno? What are you doing here?"
Baptiste shook his head as if he was sleep-talking. "This is Inferno? I remember I am looking for someone — "
"Do you know who Beatrice is?"
"Beatrice?" Baptiste frowned. "I don't seem to remember."
"He has a magic core in his body. This magic core gives him the ability to resurrect continuously. This should be the modification he made to cross the Inferno Portal." Vivian finally answered everyone's doubts. "But there is a problem with this resurrection process: he will lose his memory."
Lily's eyes widened. "So —"
"So he doesn't know anything about himself. He only knows that he is going to Inferno to find someone. That's all." Vivian sighed. "He doesn't even remember the name of the person he is looking for."
Hao Ren could not believe it. "When did this happen?"
"When we first met him, he came out of the ashes. At that time, Baptiste was already a ghost construct, so he had forgotten everything before that," Vivian said, shaking her head in disappointment. "From the beginning, we only knew that this wizard wanted to go to the second level of Inferno, but he never wrote down why he wanted to go to the second level in any of his manuscripts. He must have been like this for hundreds of years. Give it up. We won't get anything out of him."
Baptiste listened to others talking about him as if he was listening to a fantasy story that had nothing to do with him. He didn't even remember being caught and brought here, so he calmly sat down. He was a little curious as to why the tattered robe he was wearing was full of burn marks, but these details were quickly thrown aside by him. He began to wholeheartedly focus on reviewing his empty memories.
Lily carefully poked the wizard with her claws. "Do you remember your name?" she asked.
"My name is Baptiste. I am a wizard apprentice."
"What are you doing here?"
"I am looking for someone."
"Who?"
"I don't know …"
(Hahahaha — I feel dizzy after drinking too much. I'm going to lie down …)
