The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 289: Abes's Changes, the Worshipped Golden Coffin

After solving Kronos's troubles and repeatedly emphasizing to the other party that his own safety was the most important thing, Abes closed his eyes again and returned his consciousness to his body.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I found a large clump of hair in front of me.

At very close distances, humans cannot distinguish the colors of opaque objects.

In a trance, Abes thought he was still in Kronos's consciousness space, because when they were parting, the child suddenly came over and hugged him.

When he bent down slightly, the silver hair was just like this against the tip of his nose and in front of his eyes.

He could feel the touch of her hair with every breath, like a soft feather brushing against his skin, bringing a warm tingling sensation.

And now, Abes sniffed subconsciously, and a faint fragrance floated into his nostrils.

It is fresh, with a hint of grass and wood fragrance, and a hint of warm sunshine.

It was like a summer afternoon, the sun shining through the shade of the trees onto the grass, and the breeze blowing through the grass and flowers, bringing a peaceful and comfortable feeling.

Natural, druid feeling?

Anivia?

After the figure and hair in front of him suddenly took several steps back, Abes finally saw clearly that what was in front of him was the familiar golden double helix.

Anivia!

Maybe he waited outside for too long, so he came in?

Abes was stunned for a moment, then he smiled warmly.

"Anivia, you don't have to worry about me. Didn't we spend a few days cleaning up the nest here?"

In response, the gently trembling golden double helix shook violently, "No, there are still many troubles."

After Anivia carried out a basic cleanup of the lair of the witch Aunt Vanna on the first day, Carterburg also sent people to help with the cleanup.

However, it was a witch's lair after all, even though all the obviously dangerous traps and poisonous fog had been eliminated.

But there are also many strange potions and weird magic props left, all of which are hot potatoes.

You never know what the next potion that looks like a healing potion may turn out to be poison, or turn you into a sheep, or cause pus to appear on your body and attract a bunch of locusts or toads.

You also don't know if the mirror is a magic mirror or a consumable item that quickly creates a dagger cloud.

Generally speaking, there is no need for Abes to carry these trophies whose functions and properties are unclear when traveling.

The potions and grenades and hand cannons prepared by Kronos, Hibiki and Matthew for themselves are much better than these things of unknown origin.

After all, Carterburg is just a border fortress that maintains the market. It would be a blessing if they could find some people who can boil and make medicine amid the trouble of insect vomiting.

And now, if we ask the entire Carterburg, are there any talents who can be used to study and analyze the witch's spoils?

Then the answer can only be nothing.

Therefore, the reaction from Carterburg was very enthusiastic at the beginning, but later it became less enthusiastic.

The result was that most of the spoils were not collected but remained in the nest.

These remaining spoils of war made Anivia worried. Was there any backup plan that might cause harm to Lord Abes?

And now, a faint blush appeared on Anivia's face, as if she was a little embarrassed by the close contact just now.

She gently stroked the golden hair on her forehead and whispered, "I...I was worried about you, so I came in to see you."

Behind Abes, some bright green light also disappeared under her shy smile...

Abes felt warm in his heart, feeling the care from Anivia.

He nodded slightly, then said softly, "Thank you, Anivia. I'm fine. I just finished some things and saved Kronos who was in trouble."

Anivia breathed a sigh of relief, but then after hearing the second half, she looked up at Abes.

"Myers' daughter, what happened to her? Did you use the magic radio to contact each other again?"

In response, Abes raised his finger and shook it. He did not spread his worries to others. "No, it's just a few minor troubles. In addition, our contact with the capital may be improved."

----------

Fertile South.

A soldier named Arthur arrived at a familiar place.

He was one of the first people to follow Abes, so he was more aware of the changes that Lord Abes had undergone.

At first, everyone thought that the poor child from the Mels family had gone crazy because of his mother's departure.

And when they saw the bodies of the lizardmen that Abes had eliminated in a dozen seconds lying in a row, they just saw that man as a strong man.

At this time, Lord Abes did have an indescribable strange feeling.

Originally, he seemed to be ready to leave after solving the problem of the Lizardmen, but because of a few words from the child Kronos from Silvermoon Farm, it seemed that the other party chose to accept the group of refugees.

He seemed unwilling to lead everyone at first.

Fortunately, once he catches up, he won't let go easily.

After that, Lord Abes took them hunting and tried to break into the Lizardmen's camp to find food for them.

Up to this point, it is not certain how much they believed that Abeth was the real Abeth Grande.

Arthur even felt that Lord Abes seemed to enjoy the performance more than finding food for them.

Then there were continuous fights, and some of them might have suffered minor injuries, but in the end, he was willing to give out the precious healing potion so that all of them could recover.

This made Arthur feel much more at ease. Maybe the other party did have some performances, but at present, only he could lead them out of danger.

Following such a powerful person, following such a gentle and kind person, you will definitely not suffer any loss before the acting is over.

After that, they began looking for ways to expand their scale.

Lord Abes led them back on the road. Instead of continuing north, they made a slight turn and headed back to look for the camp where the human captives were held.

Such moves have left many people dissatisfied.

Expanding the number of people is necessary, but what they hope to encounter more is a way of gaining access to the same level as refugees joining.

Otherwise, with a number of fifty or sixty people, how could you seek opportunities for expansion?

dream!

Furthermore, when they were searching for the whereabouts of the captured humans, they were attacked by deserters.

The death toll is three.

This probably made that period the most depressing time. If it weren't for children like Gaviling and Kronos, who were trusted and cared for by both sides, the team would have disbanded long ago.

The first obvious change in Lord Abes also occurred at this time.

To Arthur, it seemed as if he had gone from frivolous to serious.

After setting up the temporary burial site for the deceased, Lord Abes gave a speech.

In that speech, Lord Abeshi stressed freedom and dignity, and also gave an explanation of rewards and punishments and the wages that soldiers can enjoy.

It was an extremely inflammatory speech. Although Arthur felt that it was correct, he had a vague feeling of discomfort in his heart.

It was as if Lord Abes before him had finally stopped hiding his ambition and clearly stated why he wanted to save everyone.

It makes people... dislike it.

It reminds me of people who don't do what they say.

It was also at this time that Arthur came into close contact with Abes.

After capturing the camp where the human captives were, Lord Abes asked him if he had found his daughter. (See Chapter 47)

Sadly, the answer is no.

After that, Arthur tried hard to forget the grief.

The replenishment of food, supplies, and size also gave their team great confidence in fighting against all natural and man-made disasters.

After that, they re-defeated the entire supply point camp, then routed General Paddy's men, and then moved into Sweetleaf.

Then came the sudden siege plan for the royal capital. Through a stone tablet and two transfers, they were able to reach the vicinity of the king and launch an attack.

Afterwards, he gradually integrated the Mud City, captured the Raven Castle, and gradually expanded his power to villages that no one had ever reached.

It can be said that at this time, Arthur's feeling became more and more obvious.

He was very afraid that after everything was settled, it would be revealed that Lord Abes, who led them, was not a good person.

He was very afraid that all the goodness, kindness, gentleness and thoughtfulness were just an act for the sake of fighting for the world.

However, the expansion of territory, the increase in the number of soldiers, the magic blast furnace, steel armor, magic grenades, magic arm armor, iron birds, and the addition of many outstanding talents made Arthur a little overwhelmed.

It is impossible to perceive what Lord Abes is thinking in his heart.

It makes people feel so happy in the victory that they cannot even feel the slightest doubt.

However, all the answers were answered after Lord Abes defeated the gray giant and took over the floating island.

Because, even after gaining significant power, tombstones of civilians were still built in the capital of the kingdom.

Even after he had gained the strength to continue competing for the leadership of the small kingdom of Womuza without having to please them, the trial of those evil nobles continued.

Even after the construction within the capital has been basically completed, the construction of roads and the transformation of non-urban areas are still continuing. Those new, big and good things are actually for all ordinary people to use and experience.

When he could have ended his acting long ago, he still maintained it.

Arthur also officially confirmed it at this time, although Lord Abes did not appear at the ceremony on the day the monument was completed for some reason.

However, Lord Abes is indeed a good person.

----------

If Abes could hear what was in this person's heart, he would be deeply moved.

Because, before and after defeating the gray giant and unifying the royal capital, he did undergo a psychological change.

The first time was when the gameplay changed from recreational to serious and goal-oriented.

That speech was born after the attack by the fleeing soldiers, the first time he suffered irreparable casualties, and after hearing about the stupid actions General Paddy had taken against the entire small kingdom of Łomza.

Because the cruelty, bloodiness and reality of the world have brought a shock to him, a young man protected by modern society, Abes wants to sincerely promote values ​​such as freedom and dignity, so that the game can be advanced and ended in a more perfect way.

The second, and most important, time was when I discovered that the world I was in was not a change in the game world.

If we say that 70% of the previous speeches and various actions were slogans, and 30% were immersive performances for the purpose of immersive gaming experience.

That is still 90% indifference and lack of concern.

He could only say that he was a good person at the time and did not rush in to kill people in a chaotic manner. He also had serious goals such as the great cause of unification and the spread of freedom and dignity. However, he could not say that he really wanted to save something at the time.

After all, play the game, not your head.

Before that, he really couldn't be said to be consistent in his words and deeds.

Now, knowing that the world I live in is not false, the situation is completely different.

He wants to save every living person, both for others and for himself.

His kindness and justice are not just for show or to conform to his own values, but also to save every real and living life and to strengthen his own power.

Perhaps behind every goal are thoughts such as returning home, increasing strength, and ensuring safety.

But at least this time, Abes no longer viewed others as false, but truly shared emotions and identification with them.

In the eyes of others, is it a case of pretending to be hypocritical for a lifetime and then becoming truly good?

----------

Admiring the subtle changes in Lord Abes, Arthur turned around and noticed the approaching group of lizardmen.

This made him tighten the steel spear in his hand and the magic arm armor on his arm.

His daughter disappeared during the Lizardman invasion.

No matter what, this hatred should not be let go.

Training lizardmen and leading lizardmen was something that made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

However, what Lord Abes emphasized to them before they set off made Arthur try hard to hide his emotions along the way.

They are the team under Lord Gaviling, and they are the ones who are most familiar with the various disciplines and requirements in the entire team.

They were sent here as guides to reform and educate the team, and to unite all intelligent races to achieve common liberation.

Now, General Paddy, who once deceived the Wommza people, has been imprisoned, and Great Elder Paospa, who deceived the Lizardmen, has also fallen, so they must not act on impulse.

Never intentionally abuse the Lizardmen, and in future battles and wars, never intentionally command them to engage in meaningless charges and bloody battles.

Arthur originally thought that he would explode someday when he could no longer hold it back.

The result was that the moment he set foot on the fertile land of the south, he suddenly became speechless.

Because they really respected and believed in Lord Abes, but the execution was a little abstract - on an earthen altar, the refined golden coffin that Lord Abes had lost here and had not taken away stood upright in the center, accepting the kneeling worship of some lizardmen who were identified as criminals.
