Chapter 1265 Original Intention
"The legendary hero's attendant actually works as a gatekeeper for others. Do you really think of yourself as a slave of the Carter family?"
The so-called wine makes people bold, because after drinking a hundred years of good wine, and being in a bad mood, I unconsciously fell into the state of biting anyone who displeased me, even ignoring the fact that Achilles could kill me with one slap. .
"What you said is very presumptuous," Achilles said angrily. He took a deep breath, his eyes were on fire, he clenched his fist again, his nails dug into his flesh, and he wished he could kill me with one punch.
I completely ignored this tense atmosphere, still drinking alone and looking at him sideways.
In the peripheral vision, the little red fish shivered and secretly wiped his sweat.
Is this a cold sweat?
Is he scared?
Well, you should be afraid too.
Who is not afraid of life and death?
But is fear useful?
"Achilles," I said, "Are you willing?"
"What?"
Achilles' angry eyes gradually became filled with doubts.
"Your existence should be more than a slave," I said: "Carter Adams, your master, the embodiment of passion and justice, a hero who longs for freedom, am I right?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
After being praised by his master, Achilles' frosty expression finally softened, but it was still ugly.
"What I want to say is, do you still remember your original intention when you were loyal to Carter Adams?"
Achilles's body trembled, his expression stagnant, anger mixed with confusion, anger mixed with confusion.
After a while, he murmured to himself: "My original intention. My original intention"
This is what the high priest told me about Carter Adams and Achilles.
At that time, the high priest had a great reputation, but Carter Adams was a hot-blooded young man.
He loves to laugh, love to make trouble, and loves to drink. He is a young man with no airs and no scheming.
At that time, he regarded the high priest as a divination mother-in-law and came to ask for a marriage prediction, and he was almost thrown out of the street.
However, he still persevered.
Finally, the high priest saw him.
The high priest told him that his marriage was very ordinary. It would not be unfortunate, and it would be difficult to be happy.
Adams was very disappointed, but in just a few seconds, he regained his composure and asked the high priest again if he would have a good brother, a good kind, a life-or-death friend.
The high priest said yes, but not now.
The high priest also said that whether you are a life-or-death friend depends on your heart and your original intention.
A few years later, monsters in the dungeon broke through the portal, rushed into the town, and killed people wantonly. The residents of Zephyr Continent were in crisis, and the survival of mankind was even in danger.
Carter Adams and hundreds of other top warriors gathered together many adventurers to declare war on the monsters that killed them wantonly.
In the first battle, humans were completely victorious. While they were celebrating their victory, the monster took advantage of the night and launched a second battle.
Humanity failed miserably.
Achilles was just an ordinary adventurer at the time. When he was about to be beheaded by a monster, Adams saved him.
Achilles has been following Adams ever since.
Not only because of the life-saving grace, but also because of the original intention to follow.
Carter Adams' original intention was simple: peace and freedom.
"Killing foreigners, causing disputes, look at the ruins around here, think about the chaos and madness during this period, is all this considered peace?"
"Being constantly driven and ordered to work as a bodyguard or a doorman, only at night, only after the people who order you fall asleep, can you finally have your own time and breathe your own. Is this considered freedom?"
"Perhaps you think that all this is still in line with the original intention, but in my opinion, you have betrayed yourself, betrayed Carter Adams, and betrayed the original intention. Now you are not a human being, just a tool, a thoughtless person who has been abused by others. Tools of Hate.”
Achilles stared at me with his eyes, which were filled with uncontrollable anger, but at the same time, they were also mixed with confusion and emptiness.
"Carter Scott" he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "He is a descendant of Adams. I can feel the similarity of their bloodlines."
"But he is not Carter Adams." He stood up and I stared at him: "They just have the same blood, but they are not the same person. Moreover, not only Carter Scott, the Lord of Airey City, the eldest master, Carter Rhodes Ni, Carter Eva, and even the cousins of the Carter family, they all have the blood of Adams, they are all descendants of Adams, can you be loyal to every one of them?"
Achilles' eyes twinkled.
"You can't, do you know why?" I said calmly: "Because they are not Carter Adams."
"There's only one real Carter Adams, and he's dead."
"No, he's not dead, he's not yet"
"Recognize the reality. He is already dead. You watched him die with your own eyes."
"No, that's not the case, he's not dead, he's just"
"Oh, I'm sorry." I raised my hand to stop him and said, "You are right to say that he is not dead. After all, you did not see his body with your own eyes. Well, just pretend that he is not dead."
"Let me ask you," I took a step forward and said, "If one day, Adams is alive to see you, after witnessing all this, do you think he will be happy?"
"I will protect his child, I swore an oath," Achilles said solemnly, his voice a little heavy and weak.
"You have done it," I said: "At least, before you were awakened, you had been protecting his children until he died, until you were sent to Adams' tomb together."
"When he was alive, you protected him very well. Even in the face of dozens of dangerous assassinations, he was still safe and sound. He even had no injuries on his body. He didn't even know that anyone wanted to kill him." He took a sip of wine. I continued: "It is precisely because of this that we have this prosperous town and this grand country!"
"Now, what you are facing and protecting are only people with Adams' bloodline. Do you know that what you should really protect is not only the bloodline, but also Adams' original intention."
"Original intention. Is that the original intention?" Achilles said slowly: "Who among the descendants of Adams has such an original intention?"
"There are many, maybe." I nodded and said, "But I only know one."
"Who?" Achilles' eyes regained their brightness.
"Carter Rodney."
"He is already dead," Achilles said, "He was assassinated to death in the city of Dashai."
"Who told you that?"
"Dasay City Daily" Achilles added: "And Airei City Daily."
"Did you see the body?"
"The daily newspaper said."
"Let me ask you, have you seen the body?" There was no doubt in my eyes. I looked straight at Achilles and said, "Have you seen Carter Rodney's body with your own eyes?"
Achilles was silent for a moment and said, "No."
"You didn't see Carter Adams' body and you refused to believe that he was dead. Then why did you say that Carter Rodney was dead?"
"You mean, he's not dead?!"
Achilles' eyes widened, with surprise and surprise in his eyes.
