Chapter 165. Social Death
Crickto told Char that no data would be erased without a trace, not to mention memories.
Char was also convinced that the Holy Spirits did not have the ability to manipulate an individual's memory. Otherwise, they would have done so a long time ago and would not have laid their cards on Fredrick.
Therefore, he guessed that the reason why Ortlinde wanted to fight him so badly was probably because her betrayal at the end of cycle 177 had left a deep impression on her, overshadowing all other memories.
After sorting out this matter, the path in front of him was very simple.
He wanted to awaken Ortlinde's other memories.
He did not believe that he would lose to a single betrayal after spending more than a hundred rounds with her, two-thirds of which were the girl's confessions.
That was impossible!
Ortlinde took two steps forward in the field of rapeseed flowers and suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
It was as if this scene had appeared in his dreams.
As if it was a mist
He had been to this place before.
A strong premonition suddenly welled up in her heart, and she suddenly remembered what was going to happen in the next second...
She looked back at the sky, and her pupils shrank!
A snow-white Gryphon with a ring of golden feathers around its neck was silently approaching.
This giant creature was at least four meters wide when it fully extended its arms. It loved to dive down, grab its enemies, and throw them to death. Its sharp claws, which could penetrate gold and Jade, shone with a metallic luster under the sun!
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the human and the beast was reduced to a few meters. Ortlinde did not have time to think. She wanted to dodge, but her body moved on its own. As if it was an instinctive reaction, she did not dodge. Instead, she lowered her shoulders and grabbed the hilt of her sword with both hands, slashing it diagonally upwards!
The Gryphon's right foot was cut, and it let out a cry of pain. Its sharp claws curled up, almost brushing past her hair.
A few strands of hair floated in the air. Ortlinde panted heavily and finally realized what she had done.
The Gryphon were at least level 50 strong beasts in the monster guide, so she was not stupid enough to fight them. However, her body had moved on its own just now.
The sound of flapping wings came from behind her again. Ortlinde did not have time to think about this strange phenomenon. She closed her eyes and let her subconsciousness control her body.
He turned around, raised his sword, and twisted his body into an incredible curve. Then, he accurately stabbed the sword into the Gryphon's lower abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, the high-speed Gryphon seemed to have hit a sword. The pain made it unable to continue flying, and it fell to the ground, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Ortlinde was about to go forward to check the situation when she suddenly heard a gasp of admiration.
"Alright, you've finished your apprenticeship."
When she heard the voice, she was delighted at first, as if she had been waiting for this answer for a long time. But then she quickly realized who this loathsome voice came from, and she turned to look at the source.
"Char!"
However, the moment she said that, she was stunned.
The other party was wearing a red and white swordsman's uniform, which was the uniform of the church.
That was not important. What was important was that it looked very familiar.
Moreover, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Ortlinde immediately shook her head and charged forward with her sword.
She remembered very clearly that the other party was sitting on the throne, his expression as cold as a God's. Zin'rokh was prostrating at his feet, looking very loyal!
This was something that could not be erased no matter what!
Her eyes glowed with a golden color that quickly filled her pupils.
"The divinity has indeed been tampered with."
Char was deep in thought.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, a projection appeared between the two.
Ortlinde could not help but stop.
There was a man and a woman in the projection. The man was Char, and the woman's back was facing him, so he could not see her face clearly, but her back looked very familiar.
Me?
The golden light in Ortlinde's eyes faded. In an instant, a sense of shyness and uneasiness surged in her heart.
The girl in the painting was wearing a white dress and holding something in her hand.
That was a bouquet of holy white roses, representing the love of the gods.
An answer suddenly appeared in her heart.
'No, I... Why would I give this guy such a thing! He must be lying to me! He must be lying!
'But that dress...
Ortlinde knew very well that her mother had left her that dress. She had said that if she met a boy she liked, she could wear it to confess to him and it would definitely succeed!
She had never told anyone about this...
At this moment, the person on the screen spoke.
"Char, are you willing to marry me? I'll definitely be a good wife!"
No...
Ortlinde was about to suffocate!
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she wished she could spiral up to the sky and explode into fireworks!
'Is this really me?
'How could he be so stupid!'
If it were me! I would never say such things!
However...
Then what should I say?
It was wrong! There must be a problem somewhere!
Seeing her blush and stop in her tracks, Char discreetly waved his hand.
The screen flickered and instantly changed to another scene.
It was still the same white dress that Ortlinde was very familiar with.
However, this time, she was riding on Char. Her hair was messy and stained with grass, and half of her shoulder strap had slipped off, but she did not notice it at all.
The two of them seemed to have had a fight, and she was still the winner.
"B*stard! You've already rejected me twice! This time, she had to agree no matter what! If this gets out, I won't have the face to see anyone! I can cook and clean the room. You won't regret marrying me!"
'This is not me!
'I wouldn't say such embarrassing words!'
Ortlinde threw away her sword and knelt on the ground, crying.
'I actually...'
"Ahhhhh!"
At this moment, Char walked over.
"Here, this is your stuff."
Ortlinde raised her head and saw a sword in front of her.
Golden flames flickered on the blade of the sword, and it was gently licking Char's fingers.
"See, the Holy Sword didn't resist me, why do you still think I'm a monster?" Char said gently.
"But I've seen it with my own eyes!" Ortlinde wiped her tears. "And I even dreamed of you."
"What did you dream of?"
The Valkyrie's face turned red, and even her body became sensitive. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the holy sword. She said angrily, "Hooligan! Shameless! Abnormal!"
"No, I'm not that kind of person."
Char pointed at the light screen that had yet to dissipate.
"Then how do you explain this?"
"I don't know. You must be lying to me!"
'Come on, you know very well that I'm not lying to you. After all, memories can't lie to people, and what can't lie even more is the touch."
"What do you mean by that?"
Ortlinde raised her head in surprise and was caught off guard by Char's embrace. Then, her lips were covered.
An electric shock ran through her body. She wanted to push him away, but she did not have the strength. A familiar smell entered her nose, and the distant memory that seemed to come from the sky also came back to her. It was like the soft touch of the clouds, making her body warm and numb. For a moment, she forgot to resist.
She did not know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes, Char was already standing a meter away. It was a distance that made her feel safe, but at the same time, she felt a little disappointed.
It was wrong!
'That was my first kiss!'
Just as Ortlinde was about to explode, Char spoke again.
"Do you want to know what's going on?"
He pointed at the Holy Sword, at the light screen, and then at herself.
Ortlinde bit her lips in silence, but her eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Then follow me."
