Chapter 2596 Invitation
Guts was also on his way to the Tower of Judgment at this time. After leaving the valley, he had a bad premonition dream in which he dreamed that his lover was sent to the stake. Although he didn't know why he had this dream, he still returned to the old blacksmith's house after a long absence.
Two years ago, the Skeleton Knight rescued them and sent them here. There is a fairy mine here that can temporarily shield them from the devil's pursuit. It was also here that Guts recovered his body, got the Dragon Slayer Sword from the old craftsman, and the old blacksmith made a prosthetic limb with a hidden cannon.
There are two people here, one is the old blacksmith's adopted daughter, and the other is a young survivor of the Eagle Group. On the day of the Eclipse, the boy got separated, so he didn't die.
Because they are all trustworthy people, Guts confidently handed his lover to them and embarked on the road of revenge. This bumpy journey, not only was his body covered with scars, but even his weapons and equipment were damaged.
When he returned to the old blacksmith's house, Guts learned that his lover had disappeared and left when he was out for a walk, and it happened not long ago.
Guts was shocked, but looking at the pitiful expression of the blacksmith's adopted daughter, who could he blame?
He could only try to recall his dream, thinking that Casca seemed to have gone to a place called the Holy Land, and there was really a Holy Emperor nearby, and it was only three days away.
So Guts made a simple repair, repaired his weapons, and set off again.
At this time, the old blacksmith was dying, and this might be the last time he met Guts. He wanted to let Guts give up hatred as an old man, start a new life, and not be blinded by hatred.
Looking at Guts's back, the old blacksmith was full of emotion. The path Guts chose was really too hard.
In order to find his lover, Guts went to the Holy Land as quickly as possible, but he still encountered various opponents on the way. During the three-day journey, he met Kusha's assassin who went deep into the border of Midland and saved a teenager. Then he encountered the evil spirits of the wheels. After the bodies in the Holy Land with broken hands and feet tied to the wheels were possessed, they controlled the wheels and rushed over.
It was only three days of journey, and he encountered several groups of monsters, which was also unique. But there is one more comrade, although it is useless.
The boy who was almost stabbed to death by the Kusha scout followed Guts shamelessly. He would use the stone throwing skill in the battle, and then he was chased by the monster.
When Guts finally arrived at the bottom of the Tower of Judgment, he found that it had been occupied by the army. The entire Tower of Judgment was surrounded by water and a war was about to begin.
But Guts didn't care about that. He just saved people and killed anyone who got in the way.
"Have you seen a woman? She is very beautiful, but not smart." Guts asked people everywhere. Although his description was abstract, it was also very to the point. She is beautiful, but a little stupid.
The refugees said they didn't see her.
He kept asking Lujia, and she told Guts: "I have seen her." "Who are you to him?"
Guts was immediately excited and grabbed Lujia's arm rudely, asking: "Where is she, where is Casca?" How could he not be excited, because on the way here, he also met the Skeleton Knight and knew that something big was going to happen in the Tower of Judgment. If Casca couldn't be rescued, it would be dangerous.
Even the Skeleton Knights would come specially, so the situation in the Tower of Judgment would definitely get out of control.
Lujia pointed to the Tower of Judgment: "She and Lena were both captured in the tower."
Guts looked at the tower, gritted his teeth and prepared to rush over, regardless of whether the tower was surrounded now.
"Don't be stupid, aren't you looking for death if you go now? The war is about to start."
Guts was worried about Casca because he had to go because of the war.
Guts didn't care, but just as he approached the army, a black horse blocked his way. Guts looked and saw an unfamiliar man looking at him on horseback.
"Lord Duran?" Lujia knew Duran, because this man got along well with the refugees as soon as he arrived.
"You don't have to call me Lord, just call me Duran." Duran got off the horse and stood in front of Guts, and found that Guts was really tall.
"Black Swordsman, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you in the Tower of Judgment. Do you want to go to the Tower of Judgment like this?" Duran asked knowingly.
"That's right." Guts looked at Duran warily. He had a natural defensive mentality against people like Duran. Anyone who gets powerful power is not a good thing, because the process of pursuing power is unswerving, and in the end, they will sell themselves to the devil.
Guts has never pursued power. Power is just a byproduct of suffering for Guts. What can't kill him will make him stronger. After every hardship, as long as he stands up alive, he can become stronger. But the other people Guts met, whether they were nobles, knights, priests, or robbers, all those who actively pursued power eventually became traitors who bullied the weak without exception.
Because the ultimate purpose of these people's need for power is to bully the weak, they naturally become villains. It was not easy to have Griffith, who had a great goal, wanted to make the world a better place through power, and wanted to use his power for ordinary people. But in the end, Griffith went further and further on the road of pursuing power and gave up the bottom line. It was agreed to use power for ordinary people, but in the end, he gained power by sacrificing ordinary people, which was a waste of time.
"Join our army, let's flatten the Tower of Judgment together."
"No, I just want to save people." Gus just wants to save people and no longer wants to participate in power disputes.
"How can you rescue people from the Tower of Judgment alone? Let's stay together for a while. If you feel that our army is not good enough, you can leave at any time." Duran said: "You are a fierce general, no It would be a shame to go into battle and not clear up the chaos in this world.”
Hearing what Duran said, Gus thought of Griffith again. They both had lofty goals, but Griffith eventually became the Hand of God. This Duran would probably follow suit. This world is simply impossible. Was changed.
"You used to be a member of the Eagle Regiment, right? I've heard of this mercenary group, and I also know the deeds of its leader Griffith. He has ideals, but no route. He still relies on the existing system of Mitlan and gets promoted through official positions. Lord, and then relied on the authority of the King of Midland to change this land. This route was fundamentally wrong. In the end, Griffith obviously failed, otherwise the Eagle Group would not have disappeared. ""The route is wrong. , no matter how great the ideal is, it is destined to be just a tragic character, but we are different. Our ultimate goal is to achieve equality for everyone and eradicate injustice. This is completely opposite to Griffith, who relies on the royal family. If order is established, then this order is destined to maintain the powerful and oppress the weak as before. He does not have the courage to break the old order. He does not know that a new order can only be established on the ruins of the old order. I will use facts to prove that the Eagle Group has made a mistake. , and finally use everyone’s hands to achieve the goal that the Eagle Group has not achieved. If it were you, you would definitely be able to tell the difference between us and the Eagle Group.”
Gus was silent and finally accepted the invitation to stay in the army temporarily. He wanted to see if Duran really had the capital to look down on the Eagle Group. At the same time, he learned the details of Cascais' capture from Lu Jia, and continued to plan the detailed steps to rescue people.
