Chapter 184 Surprise
Morena pits Raven against Cameron's First Knight?
The adventurers exchanged glances, and they could feel the surprise in each other's eyes. Because in everyone's eyes, the gap in strength is too huge. Raven is indeed powerful in martial arts, but he is a physical warrior without any magic resistance. If it were an ordinary mage, this decision would be quite feasible, but the doomsday knight Gawain, as a powerful knight lord, also has the blasphemous power of the sun.
John has personally experienced that divine power. There is no doubt that Gawain's strength in the field of destructive power is comparable to Zathanos's strength in the field of psychic energy. How can a warrior alone fight against an existence that makes even the magician feel troublesome?
John paid special attention to Raven's reaction, his eyes widening a little when Morena spoke, but otherwise unchanged. He was still sitting next to Morena, looking forward with a calm expression. Raven had no reaction to Morena's bold suggestion. This indifference made the warlock feel that this man trusted her more than he believed in himself.
Morena Adelak kept her eyes and noses in check, and responded with a quiet smile when other adventurers cast doubtful glances.
"You haven't convinced me yet, Ms. Adelaide." John spoke to suppress the crowd's voices and expressed his confusion frankly. He believed that this woman valued the lives of soldiers more than he did, and she must have her reasons for making such a suggestion.
"I will not assign my teammates to tasks that I know are not feasible." John emphasized again.
Morena glanced around everyone's faces, always maintaining a confident look in her eyes.
"I just heard about everyone's information about this country of lies and our inversions. I remember deeply the characteristics of inversions mentioned by Mr. Kemp. [Lies rooted in the birth of reality, inversions of the same source" Mirror Image], why don’t we use these characteristics to treat Raven’s inversion, the Knight Lord Gawain.”
John shook his head and explained to Morena, "According to the rules I got from Merlin, the difference between us and the inverters is not traceable. There is only one [source of truth] that we can determine at the moment, which is There is and is only one identical inner self between us and our own inversion. This is the hidden personality within ourselves that is difficult to identify, and is the nature of the root.”
"In other aspects, such as Barnes and Crowe, their personalities and characters are miraculously similar. They are like twins." Neither Barnes nor Crowe obviously liked this comment, but they didn't say much. One sentence.
John turned to look at the Knights of the Round Table sitting on the other side, "As for Galahad and I, it can be said that apart from that face, our personalities and behaviors are completely opposite."
"It's difficult for us to discover the pattern. If you want to use Raven's weaknesses to deal with the knight Gawain, then I suggest you give up. The career experience of the knight lord will inevitably bring about a different fighting style from Raven. As for me, From the brief encounter with Gawain, I am sure that the Doomsday Knight and Revan took different paths.”
Morena did not change her expression when John made his statement. She was still as confident as she was at the beginning. This makes the warlock even more curious about what she really thinks, and maybe there is something she can do.
"Mr. Kemp and I have the same will. We will never bet the safety of our partners on uncertain risks. What I am talking about is the condition that has been determined, the root truth that Raven and Gawain are absolutely consistent with."
Raven's truth?
This journey allowed the adventurers to meet their common partner Raven, but no one can be sure of Raven's true nature, and their bond is not enough to determine the warrior's inner nature.
The adventurers couldn't help but be led to think by Morena's words.
"What are the similarities between Raven and Gawain?"
"All surrendered under the skirt of a woman?" Barnes got Morena's attention as he wished, although the smile was not warm.
Vivian recalled the brief confrontation with the warrior and gave an answer that she even thought was unlikely.
"A violent fighting power, or a habit of applying wisdom to battle?"
John did not participate in the guessing activity. He looked at Raven himself. After thinking for a while, the warrior gave his answer.
"Maybe, good at enduring pain."
Everyone thought of the sword of thorns that would see blood when it was unsheathed, and of the high temperature that would inevitably come when Gawain appeared, and they almost believed in this commonality.
Morena Adelaic shook her head. She leaned next to Raven and reached out to touch the scar on his face. In front of everyone, she touched lightly with restraint.
"It seems you don't know yourself well enough, Raven."
Morena raised her hand to her chest and announced loudly as if performing an impromptu performance.
"As a witness and encourager of Raven's journey, it seems that only I can see your true nature."
"My crow, you are a fighter by nature. A fighter who is not afraid of power and moves forward firmly towards his goal."
"Think about it, will a slave boy who has been working on a farm really have the courage to fall in love with his mistress? Will a skinny boy with congenital nutritional deficiencies grow to the level you are today under the guidance of a girl of the same age? ? This is your innate personality, it was there before I raised you, Raven."
"You overthrew Adrak and changed your status as a slave, because you have never been a trapped beast, you will not be subordinate to others. No one can tame you, Raven."
"I can't do it, and neither can the queen named Morgan."
Morena's eyes turned to John, her eyes burning.
"This is what I want to express, Mr. Kemp. My crow is a bird that will not be trapped in a cage, so the Knight of the Round Table with the heart of a crow will naturally not be inferior to others."
"The doomsday knight Gawain must have his own plans. He and Queen Morgan are not of the same mind."
"We can use this to instigate rebellion against Gawain. From Mr. Knight's introduction, the queen should be a mistress with stronger control than me. Oppression will bring stronger resistance. Maybe now, the Knights of the Round Table Gawain is looking forward to being released from the prison that binds him."
To be honest, the warlock's first reaction was that the former noble lady was having a whim. Maybe Raven's subversion of her family stimulated her, so she thought about another Raven so that another woman could have sex with her. Same fate.
John thought Morena's reason was too absurd, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed the thoughtful Vivian. After Morena Adelaide announced her conclusion, the female vampire fell into deep thought.
John immediately stopped rejecting Morena's idea and decided to listen to Vivian's opinion. The female vampire was kidnapped by Gawain. She is the only one in the team who has close contact with Queen Morgan and Gawain. She knows the truth better than others.
"She's right, John."
Vivian said belatedly.
"I remember Gawain's expression when he saw me for the first time. He behaved calmly and was only slightly surprised when he saw my face. The other knights of the Round Table all showed enthusiasm and fascination after seeing Morgan's face, and Gawain showed his enthusiasm and fascination after seeing Morgan's face. Wen didn’t.”
"Gawain never looked directly into Morgan's eyes. He always looked down to show submission. He didn't dare to look directly at her. He didn't want Morgan to see that there was no love in his eyes."
Barnes applauded excitedly, like a satisfied audience after enjoying a court drama.
"Oh, the Queen's favorite is the biggest traitor in the kingdom, which fits my royal stereotype perfectly."
"Not only that," John looked at Galahad. The title of Rebellious Knight probably already had an owner. "He also resisted the charm of [Vanity] and did not rely on the Silent Room."
"Gawain has true love."
