Chapter 379 The Weight of the Oath
Chapter 379 The Weight of the Oath
"Are you crazy?!"
Catherine was right. As soon as she landed, she was greeted by Leila's violent storm.
"It's just a broken sword. Why are you trying to be a hero in a place like that?" Leila was talking, but when she saw the hesitant expression on Lilith's face and her weirdly twisted fingers, she couldn't continue.
"It's still not safe here. We're too close to Shadowlock City." Catherine decided to save a certain unlucky guy. "Lilith and Ian both need more treatment."
"It would be better if they catch up with us!" Leila looked at Lucas and Ian with an extremely ugly expression, turned around and tightly gripped her sword.
"Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! To be safe, we'd better go back to Gloria right now." Lilith didn't dare to say a word, but after hearing this, she hurriedly tried to give up the idea of revenge.
“You actually want to let it go like this?!” Leila was incredulous, her red hair shining in the sun, just like the anger in her heart, “They hurt you like this!”
"Those people are really..." Lucas saw the disgust in Leila's eyes. Even though he didn't want to admit it, when he thought of their strange skills, he still said frankly, "They are really too strong. I advise you not to have such thoughts, Miss Leila."
"How good are they?" Bobby was very surprised. The people in front of him were all the best in their grade, not to mention Miss Leila. "They can't be better than Mr. Wolfe, right? And if there are so many of us together——"
"It's different..." Ian stood up with the help of Lucas. The wound on his neck was almost healed, but his head was still in pain. He was extremely pale at the moment. "Teacher Wolfe... is a true warrior, and that man..."
Ian paused.
"More like a killer." Lilith recalled the man's cruel methods and shuddered. She grabbed Leila, who looked indignant, and said, "Listen to me, don't provoke them. Let's go back first. I don't dare to set bones by myself. Professional matters should be left to professionals."
Seeing that she still agreed with her guardian, Leila's expression became even worse, but thinking that this was not the place to talk, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and obediently followed Lilith's force and walked forward.
"Her Highness Catherine and I just arrived... and we are already in Gaia. Why would they chase us just for a sword..."
"Uh, but, maybe because-" Lilith blinked guiltily as she crushed the slug flower.
"Maybe more than one."
........................
"Crash, la, la, la-"
After coming out of the infirmary and returning to the Rose Building, Lilith slyly closed the door and took out all the spoils from her ring. Countless silver swords flashing with cold light appeared out of thin air and piled up into a small mountain in the hall on the first floor. Everyone's silence was deafening.
Leila: …No wonder you’re afraid of being chased by others!
"Ahem, help me, my friends!" Lilith saw everyone's shocked looks and cleared her throat guiltily, "Well, it was too dark, how could I tell which one was mine?"
"Then you emptied other people's warehouses?" Lulu looked dazed, her eyes almost blinded by the sword light in front of her. These all looked like good swords!
"No way, I always have to consider the sunk costs." This was the first time in Lilith's two lives that she had done something sneaky. She felt extremely guilty and explained incoherently.
"That's right!" Lucas was the first to stand up and support Lilith. "We spent hundreds of gold coins just to see them! This can only be considered as what we bought! Right, Lilith?"
"We—?" Lilith looked over suspiciously.
"Hehe, you, you spent it! Lilith, I want that one! Just one will do!" Lucas came over and winked at her with a flattering look on his face.
"Which one?" Lilith looked at the hill and became worried. "I only need one, my own one."
"Clatter--" There was a slight sound from the pile of swords, and a few swords slid down from it and fell to the ground with a clang.
"How long will it take to find so many?" Leila stood up impatiently, dragged Lilith and walked out, "Go home first!"
"Eh? Eh? What about my sword——?" Lilith was dragged away by Leila in bewilderment. It turned out that the story was not over yet? She was going to be scolded again? So when she was about to leave, in order to save her life, she grabbed Catherine again.
"Wow, that woman is lazy!" Bobby accused Jianshan in front of him.
"Don't be silly Bobby, first come first served!"
Lucas didn't mind at all that Lilith left the stage at this moment. He was eager to pick out a few good swords first. Good weapons were hard to come by and there were many swordsmen who couldn't afford a good sword in their entire lives. And here, it could be said that all the swords that could enter the underground warehouse of the auction site were extraordinary. Not only did they flash with cold light, but even if you got close, you could smell the smell of rust with a murderous aura.
If I keep a few more, I can save money for weapons for my whole life. When Lucas thought of this, he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Hey, my baby, I'm coming to find you——"
……
"I think you should replace the Guardian."
In Taylor Manor, Leila went straight to the point and said what she had been holding back all the way.
"——Huh?" Lilith thought she was going to be scolded, but she didn't expect to be greeted with this. She was a little confused, "Why, why?"
"Do I even need to ask this?" Leila looked unhappy. She had long been dissatisfied with the two guardians. "They actually left you behind and escaped from the dungeon."
After Leila and the others in the camp saw that the two of them were the first to run back, her bad mood has continued to this day.
"What do you mean abandoned? I was the one who asked everyone to escape separately. There was only one person on the other side, and he was good at archery. When put together, they were just like a string of candied haws - have you ever eaten candied haws?" Lilith tried to get away with it.
Leila remained unmoved and just glared at her coldly.
Lilith sighed, "That's because we completely trust each other. Under the circumstances at that time, it was the best option for everyone to run separately and for me to cover the rear. I now have mastered teleportation magic, and I had already found the route. Everything was under my control—"
"At least I won't leave Her Highness Catherine alone." Leila interrupted her, "They are guardians. As long as they are alive, they should stand in front of you. They have sworn an oath long ago."
"How can you take that seriously?" Lilith waved her hand dismissively.
"Bang!" Leila stood up angrily, and the chair she knocked over made a loud noise when it hit the ground. Catherine, who was reading a book leisurely away from the war, sighed and turned to the next page.
"What do you think of the oath?!" Leila's eyes were full of anger.
Lilith was startled, but then she realized that for a knight like Leila, the oath was of great significance. Even her sword was called the Oathkeeper Sword.
Oops, I said the wrong thing again.
