Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Seeing that Angie was willing to accept his allegiance, the big stone in Sean's heart finally fell slowly.

At Angie's invitation, he sat with her on the grass full of flowers, and then explained his past to the new owner in as relaxed a tone as possible.

Sean Creston, formerly known as Sean, is just an ordinary young man born in Kent, and an abandoned baby with no father or mother.

According to his adoptive parents, Sean just showed up in their stable on one ordinary autumn day.

At that time, he was just a newborn baby who only knew how to cry and was wrapped in tattered cloth.

However, beside him, there was a gorgeous golden coat of arms.

This moon-patterned coat of arms looks like the "cult symbol" that was popular in Kent at that time, and at that time it was the time when Slade cleaned up the cult most severely, so his adoptive parents did not dare to keep it and changed hands Just throw it away.

And Sean's story really has nothing to do with his "cultist parents" - the reason why he is loyal to Angie is because of his adoptive parents.

In Sean's eyes, his adoptive parents are an extremely ordinary couple with noble morals.

The story happened 18 years ago, before Sean was born, and his adoptive parents' family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat.

Under the ever-increasing taxes, they work hard day and night, and also do some handicrafts to earn some pocket money.

But as ordinary farmers, their main income is still farming, so they failed to make up the tax in that autumn when the harvest was not good, and were thrown out of the barrier by the knights who came to pay the tax.

The moment they left the barrier, they immediately felt a strong pain all over their bodies, and blood began to continuously overflow from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

An unprecedented sense of panic surged from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, they who longed to live finally let go of all their dignity, knelt down and wailed for mercy.

But the knight who left them had already turned away, leaving only a ruthless back.

This situation made the peasant couple immediately realize that they could only save themselves—these abnormal phenomena were caused by curses, and if they didn’t want to die miserably, the only way was to “return to the barrier”.

But no matter how much they punched and kicked, the almost transparent energy wall remained unmoved.

Neither can they return to the barrier, nor have any means to resist the curse... In this desperate situation, they knocked on the barrier in vain, shouted for help in vain, felt the torment of severe pain all over their bodies, and felt the pain of every moment of their lives. Every second is being eroded by the curse, gradually losing strength.

Soon, they are dying and can only lie weak on the ground, waiting for death in despair.

But at this moment, they were lucky enough to be discovered by a stranger.

He was wearing a black cloak all over his body, and his tall and thin figure made it difficult to see his appearance. He looked like some suspicious person.

However, this "suspicious person" who came from nowhere actually kindly helped them, not only healed their injuries, but also inexplicably gave them a huge sum of hundreds of gold coins.

Being honest and responsible, they were originally unwilling to accept this unearned wealth, but under the tough attitude and urging of their savior, they still reluctantly accepted the heavy box of gold coins—because they really had no energy to refuse other side.

The second after their bodies were healed, they reappeared the symptoms of body pain and body bleeding, and if they continued like this, they would soon return to their previous half-dead appearance again.

But then, they immediately saw an even more shocking scene:
I saw this stranger came to the barrier, put his hands on the barrier, lowered his head slightly, as if he was feeling something.

After a while, on the extremely solid barrier, there unexpectedly appeared an illusory gate that was emitting green fire.

Meanwhile, the stranger urged eagerly:

"Go in quickly, this door won't last long..."

Only then did they recover from the shock, and they didn't even have time to think, suppressing the pain and discomfort in their bodies, and ran desperately towards that weird passage.

Almost at the same time they passed through the door, the barrier closed again in an instant.Across this almost transparent barrier, both of them rested for a while out of breath, and then they heard the stranger explain:

"The reason why I saved your life is indeed out of my own selfishness - I hope you can use this money to adopt as many abandoned babies as possible, and raise them into responsible and sacrifice-free children. brave man.

"If among these children, there happens to be a fearless person who can absorb curses, I hope you can make him believe in our Lord, and convey this belief to him——

"The Savior will return. We will serve our Lord and give our all to help His Lord purify this sinful world."

This simple peasant couple could not understand these profound words.But the other party was a benefactor who saved their lives, gave them such a large amount of wealth, and was willing to give them their trust.

Those who know how to repay their kindness are naturally unwilling to neglect the important matter of saving their lives.

With this in mind, they asked in bewilderment, "How shall we recognize the Savior?"

"It's very simple. There will be a dark diamond-shaped hard lump on my lord's chest, and there will be a special pattern near this hard lump-it is consistent with the pattern on my back and is easy to identify."

As the mysterious stranger spoke, he lifted his shirt and showed them the tattoo on his back——

That's an intricate black tattoo.It has six strangely shaped wings, and a black square is drawn in the center.

After all, they can't grow that kind of black lump on their bodies, so they can only restore it by "painting" as much as possible.

However, for Sean's adoptive parents, these things are still too complicated-whether it is this complicated pattern or the benefactor's teachings, they are things they have never heard of before, and it is difficult to preserve them completely in the in mind.

So, across the barrier, they repeatedly confirmed and recited the sentence that was too advanced for them in front of the stranger.

After confirming that they had fully recorded all this, they thanked the benefactor with tears of gratitude, and then reluctantly watched the benefactor leave.

With that large sum of money, they went to nearby villages to buy pens and paper, and wrote down these complicated things in the first place.

Then, the couple checked each other several times, and after confirming that there were no omissions, they were relieved.

They did not return to their original home, but went to settle in the most prosperous Kent County. Firstly, because their benefactor specifically instructed that "these things should be done in secret", and secondly because——

The peasants who were originally thrown out of the barrier because they could not pay their taxes returned to the barrier unharmed. This incident is too bizarre, and it will definitely be noticed, which will cause countless problems.

And now that they are suddenly "rich", they really don't have to stay in their hometown to live a hard life - it's just a small border village, and naturally there won't be many abandoned babies, so they can't be allowed to repay their kindness.

What happened after that is easy to understand.

The wealthy couple came to Kent very smoothly and settled here very smoothly.Over the years, they adopted eight children, including Sean, on and off, while also having two of their offspring.

For this big family of twelve people, they spent a lot of effort.Driven by a strong sense of responsibility, they try their best to give these children a complete and happy family, and at the same time, they also follow the teachings of their benefactors and strive to cultivate these children into responsible and brave people.

And when Sean was almost 16 years old, in the "resistance value test" organized by Kent County, he was found to have an initial resistance value of five points, which means that he is not extraordinary, but can absorb and resist curses fearless.

For ten years there had been only one fearless man in Kent, Sean.On the day when this result appeared, Sean was immediately summoned by Slade, and before leaving, he learned about this secret past from his adoptive parents.

Out of respect and gratitude to his adoptive parents, Sean expressed his willingness to accept this mission.After all, without that benefactor, he would not be where he is today.

But Sean didn't expect that he would just happen to discover the "savior" in the benefactor's mouth in less than a year.

What happened later, even Angie knew.

After listening to this mysterious story, Angie couldn't digest such a huge amount of information for a while.

Leaving aside the "fearless selection process" that Angie has never experienced and is not important, this past story of Sean's parents is both bizarre and simple.

When a poor peasant couple was struggling on the verge of death, they were miraculously rescued by a mysterious person, and they lived a wealthy and happy life while repaying their gratitude.

It sounds like an innocent fairytale, but Sean really doesn't seem to be lying, so Angie chooses to believe the story for the time being.

The reason for Sean's allegiance to Angie is also very clear, that is, to repay the kindness of upbringing.

But in this story, what Angie cares most about should be the "mysterious kind-hearted man" who has some kind of secret connection with her.

He who can "open a door" on the barrier must be a strong man, even if he can only last for a very short time, there is no doubt about this.

But there is no way to study more details about him, which makes Angie confused——

Where did his teachings come from?It sounded like some sort of religion, and he wasn't the only one.

Could the "lord" they serve really be her?

What does it mean to "purify this sinful world"?
The strangest thing is: the patterns and black squares on her chest just appeared by accident after taking off the bone helmet, how could it look exactly like the tattoos on the backs of these believers?

This kind of coincidence is almost impossible to exist, and it seems to prove that the savior they said may really be her...

It's just that this "savior" sounds more like the head of some kind of MLM organization... It doesn't make people happy at all.

Angie's depression is expanding.

In a gust of breeze, the girl sitting on the ground raised her head slightly and looked at the boundless sea of ​​gorgeous flowers around her.

Although she knew that these were all caused by curses, under such a beautiful scenery, she still felt relieved a little bit, and finally let out a long sigh of relief, leaving all the depression behind.

Compared with those distant and temporarily unsolvable mysteries, the current matter is more important - Sean has been looking at her anxiously for a long time, as if waiting for her to say something.

When Angie turned her gaze to Sean, she immediately saw him blink nervously, and couldn't help but smile.

Reminiscent of the story he just told, Angie decided to talk to this "repaying boy" about things he could answer—for example, the parents he was most familiar with.

"It sounds like your adoptive parents are indeed people of high moral character."

People who can resist the temptation of huge sums of money and have been diligent in repaying gratitude for 18 years are too rare in this world.No wonder they were able to cultivate a good boy like Sean who "has the spirit of sacrifice" and does not stick to all kinds of bad habits.

It's a pity that this good boy doesn't want her to experience "love and harmony in a tavern"...

The dissatisfaction in Angie's heart was not noticed by Sean.As soon as he heard someone praise his parents, he immediately became proud and said with a smile:

"My parents are indeed people of high moral character. If there is a chance, I would like to take you to meet them-after all, we live in Kent, so it is very convenient to go...and tell them the good news by the way ..."

This good news naturally refers to the fact that he successfully found the "benefactor's allegiance object" and successfully "confessed the Lord".

But when he said that, his tone gradually became hesitant.

He was worried that these family-related topics would remind Angie of those painful memories.

However, Angie's expression was not unusual.

She ignored Sean's secretly looking at her eyes, but asked helplessly:

"Sean, do you really believe that I am the 'savior'? I can't understand what you said about the past, and I can't be sure that I am the 'lord' that your benefactor said, so I can't make any promises to you .”

Sean immediately put away that cautious look.

"My loyalty to you will not change - it is not determined by your attitude towards me, but by my past. From the moment I was picked up by my father and mother, I was destined to be loyal to you …So please don’t worry—these things I do are all out of my own will, and I am not forcing myself.”

He spoke solemnly and smoothly, as if he had thought about this scene countless times in his heart, and organized these words countless times.

Then, staring at Angie's face, he made a firm promise again: "Whether you trust me or not, I will give you everything - this is also the wish shared by my parents and I."

Angie looked at Sean wordlessly.In her opinion, the solemn promise of the "16-year-old boy" does not have much credibility.

But even though she observed the expression on the other's face carefully and earnestly, and just stared at him for a long time, she couldn't catch the slightest wavering in the other party.

At this moment, Sean is too serious and frank, even the shy nature has been left behind by him, and he looks at Angie without timidity, with only determination and determination in his eyes.

In the end, Angie sighed softly and surrendered first:
"Okay, okay, let's do this first. It's no fun just sitting and chatting - I haven't visited this Lost Flower Field yet, so let's just walk around!"
