93.Are you planning to kill me? What a coincidence, I am doing the same thing【33/60】 (Page 2/2)
“So here’s the thing, Natalie.”
The old knight smiled.
He stopped to wipe the sword blade in his hand and looked at the dancing flames in front of him. After a few seconds of silence, he said：
“If Murphy is really as dangerous as we described, then why do you think that he will be unprepared for our possible future actions? You keep saying that you value him, but in my opinion, you still seem to underestimate him..
Also, do you really think he would be kind enough to allow us to walk out of the Blood Vulture Corridor alive?？
That's the holy place that the vampires have been running for 400 years.！
Even if there is an oversight in Murphy's plan, I believe that the dormant Scarlet Witch will not let us come out alive..
You are still young, you have never heard of the reputation of the Scarlet Witch.
But I've experienced the horrors myself.”
“！”
Natalie's expression suddenly changed, and she realized that she was too young.
“So, I'm going to give you and your team a special mission.”
The old knight picked up a branch from his hand and moved it beside the bonfire in front of him. Amidst the sound of the flames peeling off, he said in a deep voice.：
“I will personally watch Murphy during tomorrow's operation. You and your team members should pay attention to the movements of his minions, especially the silent big man, the guy named Maxim. When I see him, I think of those jackals. Bloody hyenas tamed by human hunters！
The same loyalty, bloodthirsty and madness.
Murphy put a leash on him.
But when he gets orders, has a clear goal and loses the restraint of the chain, that is when he is most dangerous..”
“As you command, Chapter Master.”
Natalie bowed her head and accepted the task.
Her team is indeed less effective than other elites, so it is very suitable for carrying out the mission of the Chapter Leader..
But then there was another period of silence between the two..
Just like how they usually get along, there is no doubt that Old Finock values Natalie very much, but Natalie always seems to avoid the Chapter Master's concern..
As if it were a fire that would burn her.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?？”
As the flames danced, Old Finock took the initiative to break the silence. He said：
“After your mother's death, it seems that we haven't talked about topics other than the war for a long time. It's almost like strangers, or a perfect superior-subordinate relationship, but nothing like the kind of connection we should have..”
Natalie remained silent.
It seemed that she wanted to fight against something invisible with this attitude. Her stubbornness made the old knight sigh deeply in his heart..
He changed the subject and said：
“When you were born, the Elders recognized you as a child blessed by Avalon. Their prophecies declared that you would become the leader. At that time, I thought that what was waiting for you would be a heavy but glorious life..
No one could have imagined that the situation would take a turn for the worse after that. The collapse of the Church of Avalon made your fate unclear and made it difficult for me to see the future direction..
But if the Presbyterian Church's prediction is still accurate, then Natalie, it means that you have to perform your duties in increasingly difficult times.！
The church is gone, but the soldiers are still there.
I tried my best to restrain them from slipping into darkness, but there are still many people whose hearts have embraced those dangerous temptations after losing the protection of faith..
Now there are only 1,419 people left in the White Oak Chapter, including myself. Those are the last three Chasseur Regiments. We are the last Old Religion armed force that has become an established organization, and you must be mentally prepared! If something happens to me, it's up to you to lead them and continue to protect them from the darkness..”
Old Finock finally expressed his worries.
In this seeping darkness, he looked in the direction of the Plantagenet Kingdom and said to Natalie：
“General Loren is trustworthy. He is my friend and I trust him. King Louis is a talented and strategic monarch. His pardon may save us from the end, but the king's order cannot allow us to find a new life..
I've been searching for the final resting place for the last of us witch hunters, but I can see nothing but the fog of war.
Natalie.
I couldn't find a way out for us, I'm sorry.
Perhaps, this responsibility should be yours.”
“Don't tell me you look like you're about to die.！”
Natalie finally spoke..
She interrupted the old knight, she said：
“You drank the water of the Holy Grail at the Stonehenge of Avalon on the Isle of Glamor. You can live as long as an elf, and you still have enough time to find what you want.！
Whether it’s hope or destination,.
Time is so tolerant to you but so mean to others, and you seem to be immersed in the tolerance brought by time. The passage of life is just a tragedy in your eyes. Only the gods who serve you forever are your only ones. desire.
Just like when your mother dies of old age, you are still fighting for the so-called duty of faith！
In your eyes, neither she nor I are important！
We have never been important！”
The gray-haired witch hunter finally broke out. She showed anger that she had not shown even when she was captured, tortured and abused. She roared at the old knight beside the campfire as if she lost control.：
“The day the Church of Avalon was excommunicated by the king for rebellion.
I thought you would come back but you didn't！
I was dragged out from the Isle of Glamor like a prisoner. As a new soldier, I was forced to join a war that did not belong to me. My companions and I fought like wild beasts for six years before you reappeared.，
You suddenly appeared like a savior with that damn holy sword you retrieved from nowhere, trying to pull us out of the quagmire of war cannon fodder.！
but you are old！
It's like time is no longer tolerant of you.
You seem to have suddenly transformed from the indifferent saint back to a troubled human being, but what's the use? There is no place for you in my entire childhood memories, and my mother was still asking me to forgive you before she died..
She said you have your own difficulties！
But what difficulties can you have?？
Has your god abandoned you so you suffer more than everyone else? Can that kind of pain be compared to the loneliness of your mother waiting for you for thirty years but not even receiving a letter?？
I know what you want me to do！
But don't even think about it！
i don't have a father！
He died when I was three years old”
The violent breathing represented the excitement of Natalie Finokea Lawson, who had always been calm and reserved..
As a witch hunter who needs to remain calm at all times, such an outburst is obviously harmful to the body, mind and judgment. Years of training allowed her to quickly calm down her emotions and return to her capable and silent posture..
She turned her back and wiped her eyes, stood up straight like the best soldier, and said loudly to the old knight：
“Then, Chapter Commander, I'm going to prepare for tomorrow's battle. My team and I will definitely complete the mission you ordered.！”
After saying that, she turned around and left, disappearing into the night.
The bonfire is still burning.
The big oak blade in the old knight's hand also became silent for a rare moment, as if he was understanding the poor situation of his sword holder at this time, but old Finok didn't feel too sad..
He seems to have known that the situation would turn out like this.
“God, if these are all trials sent by you.”
He closed his eyes and whispered：
“I will continue to fulfill the oath of the Holy Grail and dedicate everything I have to you. I only ask that you can protect my poor daughter like you protected me, so that she can survive the storm that is about to blow.
Ah, I am really old. I no longer have the courage I had when I was in my prime. Now just facing the breeze before the storm blows, I am already overwhelmed..”
