Chapter 58: [White Church] Downward Journey

Hadford's weak voice was not heard by the two people who had gone far away.

Under the dim light of the eternal candle, Rabin supported Angie and walked down slowly.

Although no monsters were encountered, the inexplicable gravity still made the two walk very hard.

And most of these gravitational forces come from Angie. Without Rabin's help, she would not be able to climb out of this cave within two days even if she rolled and crawled.

Although they are currently going down.

During the silent and long journey, Rabin asked naturally:
"Angie, what did you and Hadford talk about?"

His tone was just a little confused, not a question, which made Anji quietly relieved in his heart.

She showed a bright smile and said in a playful tone:
"Hey, I just said to him: 'Thank you, I took the sword and left the knife to you!'"

After listening to Angie's words, Rabin laughed a few times, and didn't ask any more questions.

because--

"Captain Rabin, is it really okay for you to let Hadford go like this?"

Seeing Angie asking such a difficult question with a simple and honest smile, Rabin couldn't help sighing, and replied helplessly:

"Oh, little girl, there are some things that you just don't need to talk about—just like I won't tell others about Hadford saving you and you still whispering to him."

Angie blinked, and looked sideways at the kind-hearted leader of the Knights.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then smiled in unison as if they had reached some kind of "consensus".

The atmosphere suddenly became active.

Although Angie's left rib and knee still hurt a lot, and the rows of negative buffs are still there, it doesn't prevent her from thinking—because she has gradually adapted to the feeling of being hurt.

Along the way, Angie accumulated too many doubts.She wanted to know the answer very much, but she was a little worried: Are there some "cross-border" problems among these questions?

Just as she was thinking about how to speak, Rabin's voice came from her ear:
"Little guy, what's on your mind?"

"what?"

Angie suddenly raised her head in thought, turned her head away, and saw the concerned and sincere eyes of the other party.

This made her feel a little more at ease, smiled, followed his intentions, and said what was in her heart:
"Captain, may I ask you a few questions?"

The caution and care in Angie's tone made Rabin smile a little embarrassedly.He guessed that this little guy should ask some "troublesome questions" again.

"Tell me, I'll try my best to answer."

Angie no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and asked methodically:

"Captain, why did you capture Hadford alive before? What is a gift? Why can't Hadford get it? Why was senior Pedra dismissed from the position of deputy commander?"

Angie said all these questions at once, just to let the other party have an expectation.If you ask one after another, it is easy to give people a feeling of "asking endlessly", which will inevitably make people feel conflicted.

This has another advantage—even if this conversation is interrupted by an accident, she can continue to ask these questions in the future.

Because she really wanted to know the answers—except for the last question, which was just incidental.

After Angie finished speaking these questions, Rabin just thought for a while, then cleared his throat, and then said seriously:
"The reason why we dare not kill Hadford is because of his special abilities. While he can change the state of objects, he also has a big killer move - that is 'revenge'."

"revenge?"

Angie repeated the word in confusion, and whispered, "Is it similar to 'rebound damage'?"

"It's a bit similar, but there are some differences. He can multiply the damage he receives and bounce back to the things that hurt him."

Seeing that she was still confused, Rabin continued to explain with a smile: "This 'thing' can be inanimate or alive, and it doesn't have to be a person. But when he uses this After using the ability, he will fall into a coma for a short time, so Hadford will never use this ability when it is not necessary."

"I see……"

Angie lowered his head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "If someone hit Hadford hard, wouldn't it be easy to be killed by his 'revenge' ability?"

"Yes. Hey, little guy, don't blame me for not reminding you. After all, I don't think you wanted to kill us, and Hadford has no scruples about us... If I reminded you at that time, it would only make him Even more arrogant."

"It's okay, it's okay~ It doesn't matter anyway, and I probably guessed it."

Looking at the guilty middle-aged man in front of him, Anji smiled and shook his head, then continued to ask according to the original plan:

"What is the gift? You once said before that Hadford cannot be allowed to get it, otherwise the entire Glosk barrier may fall."

Rabin noticed that Angie almost completely repeated his original words, which shows that she really cares about this matter.

However, even though he was mentally prepared, Rabin hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying:

"Little guy, I'm sorry... Actually, Lord Slade said this sentence. As ordinary knights, we only know that 'gift' is a treasure used to maintain the barrier, and it is also the most important treasure in the hands of every lord. .But as to why it couldn’t be taken away by Hadford, that’s what I don’t know…”

Angie opened his mouth in surprise, and after a while, he said nervously, "You... this... Lord Slade won't blame you? This kind of thing should be top secret, right?"

"Gift" is the most important treasure in the hands of every lord... But the "lord" here must also include Slade!
She just wanted to ask about this word that she had never heard before, but she didn't expect that this question would directly stab someone's nest!

Rabin smiled wryly, held back for a long time, and then murmured: "...just take it as a thank you gift for staying with us. To be honest, if it wasn't for us to come to find the treasure, you should have gone back by now .Master Slade did say that you cannot tell outsiders about the 'gift'. But you have already done this for her, so naturally you can't be counted as an 'outsider', right?"

Rabin seemed to be explaining patiently with Angie, but he was actually convincing himself.If Lord Slade found out that he told others about the "gift" without permission, he would definitely be punished.

After sighing silently, Rabin involuntarily glanced at the white bone helmet on the girl's head.As one of the oldest members of Glosk's leadership, he knew its side effects, and was even "fortunate" to witness it firsthand.

Anji was keenly aware of the other party's gaze looking at the top of his head, and seeing his hesitant expression, he suddenly became agitated, and hurriedly asked: "Is this bone helmet used by others?"

Seeing that she had already reacted, Rabin no longer hid it, and a very bitter smile appeared on his face: "Yes...Hadford also used it."

These words struck Anji's head like thunder, making her a little at a loss.

For a time, many things seemed to have hazy answers.For example, why Hadford showed such strong hostility when he saw her for the first time, or why his body became that way, or...

Why did he save himself...

"Angie? Are you okay?"

Rabin hastily called out the girl's name, because her breathing seemed to be a little disordered, and her face was paler than before, which made him start to worry involuntarily: Did the concentration of the curse here start to rise?

However, Anji just shook his head slightly, took a deep breath silently, quickly adjusted his emotions, and then said in a very calm tone: "I'm fine...Thank you for your concern."

Rabin looked at her again, and after making sure that the other party was not trying to be brave, he spoke again:
"As for Pedra's matter..." He paused, and his expression became a little melancholy, "Pedra saved a female knight from Comoran, named 'Flish Nist' '. He not only healed the other party's injuries, but also secretly let her go, which made Mr. Slade very angry..."

"……what?"

Those complicated emotions before were instantly replaced by a stronger sense of shock.Angie subconsciously opened her eyes wide, and looked at the smiling Rabin in astonishment.

What... what's the situation?That serious middle-aged knight who is always sullen and extremely rigid, saved the female knight from Comoran?
After the brain froze for a few seconds, Anji finally realized: "Wait a minute! Nist... Isn't that the same surname as the jellyfish mother?"

"Jellyfish girl?" Rabin was a little confused, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean Marta? Yes, they both have the same surname, because Flesh is her older sister... it's just the two of them The relationship is not good."

Seeming to be a little tired, Rabin stopped, took a few breaths, and then continued: "...It seems that we are almost at the bottom of the cave."

Angie immediately cheered up and looked down.At the end of the candlelight, there is a section of steps looming, and further down, it seems to be a flat ground.

Hope was right in front of him, Anji felt as if there was an inexhaustible force in his body, he no longer asked those old things, just wanted to go down quickly.

It would have lightened Rabin's burden if he had been in the clearing earlier.

The moment this idea came up, she took the first step and stepped on the next step, and then felt empty under her feet.

"Angie! Watch out!"

At the moment of crisis, Rabin reacted quickly and quickly pulled her back.Fortunately, most of Angie's body weight is hanging on him, otherwise it would be quite dangerous.

The half-collapsed stone steps made Anji feel scared for a while.She thanked Rabin repeatedly, and at the same time cursed herself in her heart: Why are you still not careful enough?
It must be the curse that made her brain not good enough.

With the assistance of his teammates, Angie carefully stepped over the broken steps, but noticed some fine stones floating nearby.

It seems... It was originally on this step?

"Head, did you encounter such a situation when you came down earlier?"

"Of course, I've run into it a few times! If the damn steps didn't slow me down, I would have found you a long time ago. I don't know why the pieces of these steps are floating."

Rabin just complained like this, and didn't mean to scold Angie.

Afterwards, he took Angie's arm again, put it around his neck, and bent over to help her go down.

Angie took one last look at the cracked steps and frowned slightly.Strange gravity, floating rubble... Now they have too few clues to connect it together.

After that, they walked smoothly through the remaining few steps and came to the flat ground at the bottom.The down-to-earth feeling made both of them heave a sigh of relief.

They explored along the rock wall, and before walking half a circle, they found a dark and deep hole in the wall.

On the rock wall on the left side of the cave entrance, there are three lines of characters engraved:
The Abyss of Sinners.

The deeper the sin, the heavier the soul.

Only when the sins are redeemed can the light be returned.
