Chapter 397 She Was Not Forgotten
Xiusi looked at the beautiful face of the girl, and everything seemed to have quieted down.
Galahad was saying something at the side, but Zeus didn't pay attention. His heart was empty, and he felt as if he was sitting in an old movie theater. The sound of the film rolling and the noisy electric current of the cheap speakers rang in his ears, and the memories of the past began to be projected on the screen.
Nora is a girl who always has a serious face. Although she is very short, when she looks up at you seriously, her aura is not short at all. She is someone you will never forget once you see her.
She always works silently and treats everyone seriously.
Being around her, I feel safe.
She was wearing a pure white ice heavy armor, which was covered with tiny scars, but with the girl's careful care, it was still neat and majestic, like a rock that had been weathered and worn.
Zeus liked that armor very much. The heavy full-body armor worn by the banshees was based on its shape. He wanted to wait for Nora to come back and show it to her.
She looked up at the heavily armored banshee, one big and one small, which must be very interesting.
Well, the Icefield Heavy Armor will get stuck when you raise your head, and the armor designed by Zeus for the banshee is very tall. She will definitely take off her helmet in embarrassment and glare at me angrily.
Nora on the screen stared at him with wide eyes, and Hughes couldn't help laughing.
The memories in the picture suddenly stopped, and the film began to rewind with a clicking sound.
Nora also had a flail, or a censer, which looked like a meteor hammer, with several hammer heads tied together on the handle. In fact, Hughes couldn't tell them apart.
On the yellowed curtain, the white-haired girl stood in front of him again, holding up the flail and introducing herself to him.
"This one is responsible for exorcism, this one is responsible for treatment, and this one is responsible for..."
"Hit someone?" Xius asked subconsciously.
"No, these three can hit people." Nora's face became serious. "This one is responsible for preaching."
Later, Zeus learned that smashing people and preaching are the same word in the Northern language of the White Crow Principality.
Jeremiah was a pirate at that time. Nora requisitioned his ship and took her all the way to the North. During the journey, Nora preached to him. From then on, Jeremiah would recite the Book of Proverbs in the Temple of Silence when he had nightmares.
I don’t know if he will be angry or afraid when he sees Nora again.
Later, Jeremiah made a special trip to the north, but failed to bring her back.
The picture lost its color again, like an old photo, gradually becoming blurred.
Memories began to rewind again.
Nora was wearing heavy armor and standing in front of the huge monster. She was holding up a tower shield, her fingers clenched until they turned white.
"The moment of death is the Undertaker's strongest moment. Although there have been some twists and turns, we have finally reached this point."
She gritted her teeth and turned her head to look at Hughes: "Hughes, I want you to make a promise that Castel will accept refugees from the North!"
"In return, I will save Caster for you." She turned back to Monica, blood gushing from between her teeth.
The long white hair floated slowly in the air without wind.
Her eyes were stained with blood.
"Let me bury you!"
Nora's figure froze in the air, and her memories became blurred and yellowed again.
Xius looked up at the old screen, as if the figure was blocking his way again.
The rewinding speed became faster and faster, the clicking sounds became a series, countless scenes flashed back, some of which were unclear.
Snowflakes appeared on the screen, like the never-ending snow and wind in the north, the refugees in the north, the devout prayers, the people lying on the road, and the bodies covered with frost. The memories stopped, and the girl's face appeared on the screen, her eyes were closed, her white hair seemed to be covered with snow, and the wind and frost could be vaguely seen between her eyebrows.
Xius blinked and found himself still in the office with the girl's head in front of him.
There is no movie theater. The figure of the girl in my memory gradually becomes blurred, but her determined face gradually becomes clearer. The face in my memory gradually overlaps with the face in the box in front of me.
"The wind and snow buried the past, but the church will never forget it." Zeus murmured to himself subconsciously. He had never heard of the teachings of the Church of Silence, but he could not forget this sentence.
She was a fearless warrior, but the Temple of Silence had abandoned her.
People in the North value their homeland the most, but Nora no longer has a home. Her head went all the way south and was sent to Castel, thousands of miles away from the North.
Hughes stood up, his eyes resting on the box for a moment before settling on Galahad.
"Mr. Galahad, thank you for your information. I am aware of His Royal Highness William's position. I will probably be very busy next, so I am afraid I will not be able to entertain you. There will be one or more ships heading to Blood Harbor later, and you can leave on them then."
Hughes rang the bell and Connor walked into the room. He gave a few instructions and then left the room.
Galahad opened his mouth to say something, but when he looked at Hughes' back, he swallowed the words back.
Finally, he just whispered: "Did he hear me?"
"I don't know." A muffled voice came from the box. Nora blinked and looked in the direction where Hughes left with a puzzled expression.
"Come back to see him later."
Galahad nodded: "You have the final say."
Connor stood at the door, watching the conversation between the two with a strange look on his face.
Feeling Connor's strange gaze on him, Galahad sighed and explained: "Nora is the buryer of the temple, carrying the heaviest price - she is immortal, even if her head is cut off, she cannot die."
He shook his head.
Connor thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Doesn't Count Bazel know?"
Nora must know a lot of information about the North. Sending her head here might be detrimental to the war in the North.
"It's hard to say. The Silent Temple has abandoned the rebels, but they may not tell the Grand Dukes in the North about it. Besides, maybe they know about it." Galahad shook his head.
Galahad's face darkened.
The three grand dukes of the four northern territories and Count Bazel did not have many troops under their command, and as the northern border was in chaos, their overall strength was relatively weak.
This is also why they were willing to form an alliance with the prince before, and take the Principality of Tis on the prince's side as the leader.
This provocative response was somewhat odd, and the timing was perfect, as it was exactly when the prince was supposed to start dealing with the empire.
If Castel hadn't been there, the prince should have started preparing for war by now. This should be the time when the Principality of Tis is at its strongest. Why did the northern lords choose this time to provoke? If they were planning to rebel, they should have stabbed them after the war started. If they didn't plan to end the alliance, why did they provoke?
It can't be that he's just stupid, right?
Galahad felt as if there was a lingering dark cloud covering everything.
