Arcane Journey

Chapter 403 The Awakened Memory

After agreeing to Seth's clone request, Brian was about to extend an invitation to the snake girl, but unexpectedly, the other party spoke first.

Brian turned around and looked at the snake girl thoughtfully.

Facing his gaze, the other party's expression still didn't change, just said lightly:
"Quentin...My lord, I suddenly remembered that I have a few private words to tell you. Although you must be very tired now, please listen to it, can you?"

"Okay, then Bertha, what do you want to say?" Brian answered coldly with a perfunctory expression.

The snake-man girl glanced around, a hint of vigilance floated in the snake pupils, and said in a low voice:

"This is the Snake Man Temple, not a place where we can talk freely, you shouldn't mind going to other places to talk, right?"

In fact, Brian was very concerned. After all, this was the territory of the Snakeman. He was unfamiliar with the place, so he naturally needed to be highly vigilant.

He didn't agree immediately, he hesitated for a few seconds, and after getting the approval of Seth's avatar through the exchange of ideas, he just nodded and said: "I understand, let's go."

The tail of the snake twisted, and the two of them got into the ruins together, and disappeared for a moment.

After arriving at a quiet corner of the ruins, Brian, who was standing in the shadows, crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and asked a little curiously: "It's only us now, Bertha, what are you doing?" What do you want to say?"

As Seth's avatar said, there is indeed a problem with this snake girl.

"Could it be that the power of Sarukh is really hidden in her body?" Brian stared at the girl with a calm expression, and couldn't help guessing secretly.

The reason why he is very willing to help Seth clone is mainly because he is confident that the Sarukh witches of the Isto Sefifer Empire will never support him, especially the 'Earth Prophet' Acindor.

Therefore, even if He himself went there in person, it would be endless.

However, it wasn't until now that Brian realized that this ancient evil god Seth was actually a drunkard who didn't want to drink, but instead set his mind on the Ethiopian lizards and the snake people here.

It can be seen from this that the other party may not have been clear about the situation here long ago.

Fortunately, the plan of Seth's avatar does not conflict with his search for the Prophet of the Earth, otherwise he would never join forces with him if he is not driven by enough interests.

Facing Bryan's question, the snake girl didn't answer, and stared at him with cold eyes. After a long while, she suddenly laughed, showing off her white and neat teeth.

I saw her bright red tongue fluctuating, but the sentence she spit out slowly was not the Snake-Man language, but the common language on the surface:
"Quentin? No, you're not Quentin. Who are you? The Sarukh from where, the Okoth Empire in Mulhorand, or Istosai in the Anook Desert The Feife Empire, or the Mershok Empire from the Chultan Peninsula?"

For a moment, Brian was stunned by the sudden question from the other party. He obviously didn't expect this cunning snake man to associate himself with the Sarukh witch.

"I guessed right, this snake girl named Bertha is indeed a Sarukh witch." In the holy emblem, the already extremely weak Seth avatar conveyed a slightly excited idea to Brian:

"Don't act rashly. She may be our ally. I am absolutely sure that she will defect and help you obtain the Mither energy core."

Facing the warning from Seth's avatar, Brian remained unmoved.

On the contrary, his expression turned cold, and his cold iron claws sped out with lightning. Before the snake girl could speak the second half of her sentence, she suddenly felt that her throat was tightening, and there was no more air to be sucked into her chest. A natural blush came to her cheeks immediately.

Brian slowly tightened his arms, narrowed the distance between the two of them to the point where they could smell each other's breath, and smiled softly, "Miss Bertha, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Facing Brian's sudden attack, not only did the snake girl not panic, her purple lips curved into a very beautiful crescent shape.

I saw her clear eyes narrowed like mirrors, staring at Brian with a strange look, without any useless struggle, she calmly and indifferently said:

"Quentin will never look at purebred snake people like me, and he worships the high priest extremely. He will never show disdain like you just did in the temple. Don't deny it! Otherwise, you are an insult His identity as an ancient creator race."

"You're very smart." Brian slightly relaxed the iron claws on the snake girl's beautiful neck, and gently wrapped his arms around Bertha's slender waist.

Her whole body was so soft and smooth, and he was immediately sure that this alien beauty in his arms was absolutely rare and the most coveted stunner in men.

Bryan smiled faintly and asked: "But maybe, you are already too smart. Sometimes, you can live longer by keeping silent properly. Do you know?"

"I know, but you won't kill me." The snake-man girl puffed out her full chest on purpose, and said confidently:

"Saruk and witches will never hurt or kill each other. In this world, only we who hold a common secret are each other's true compatriots and relatives."

"Saruk witch...snake man..." Brian slowly chewed on these two terms, and couldn't help smiling knowingly. He didn't expect that the other party really thought of himself as a Sarukh witch.

And the reason for this misunderstanding, no doubt, is that Seth's avatar tampered with his magic transformation.

He shook his head slightly, regretting:
"Sometimes being too smart and too confident is not a good thing. After all, a secret is only a secret if it is hidden in the heart. If it is revealed at an inappropriate time, then it is not worth a copper coin."

"That's right, I'm not Quentin." He said calmly, "But in the same way, I'm not anyone in the Sarukh Wuhu Empire. I'm very sorry, you guessed wrong, beautiful Miss Wuhu. "

"You... aren't you?" It was as if a huge boulder was thrown on the surface of a lake that was as calm as a mirror.

Bertha's icy pupils contracted violently like a hunter, her hands trembled uncontrollably, her blush quickly faded, and she turned pale in an instant.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." She murmured a little out of composure:
"If you weren't the Sa Luke witch, why did I suddenly have a strange feeling of familiarity the first time I saw you, as if I had met and talked with you a long, long time ago..."

However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly calmed down again and regained her composure.

The snake girl said calmly: "Since you are not, then I have nothing to say. If you want to kill, you can do it casually. But... I still believe that you will not do it."

"That's right, I won't do anything now." Brian's eyes were bright, pretending to be greedy and unscrupulous, patrolling the snake girl.

Bertha was similar to an ordinary Snakeman soldier, also wearing body armor.

But the underwear under the leather armor has a strange style, which has never been seen before.

Except for the bare arms, her delicate body is tightly wrapped, from the neck to the waist, completely clinging to the body, with excessive curves, making the beauty under the skin more prominent, like looking at flowers in a fog, enough to evoke endless imagine.

"Because I'm not interested in dead people, Bertha." Brian said with a smile:
"It's rare to meet such a wonderful woman as you, and you are also a Sarukh witch from ancient times, if you don't enjoy it and kill it, isn't it too wasteful?
"Enjoy? Do you mean mating? I don't care." Bertha curled her lips in disdain, and said calmly:

"But since you ventured into Salukda, you didn't just want to find a snake man to mate with, right? No matter what your real purpose is, I can help you and let you fulfill your wish."

"Help me? If you do that, don't you betray your own tribe and compatriots?"

Brian looked at the snake-man girl with great interest, and his eyes shifted from her charming body to the face that even he was somewhat unpredictable.

He stared at the girl's expression change, making the last test.

"Tribe? Compatriots?" Bertha slowly repeated these two nouns, and suddenly laughed.

Not only was that smile unable to make people find the slightest joy from her, but it revealed deep disgust and hatred.

The enchanting and charming Bertha, the beautiful Bertha, the wild and unruly Bertha, the sad Bertha, all kinds of Bertha who are completely different but have their own unique charms, in this moment, condense into a unique her.

She stared at Brian and said quietly: "Quentin, Quentin, can you tell me what your real name is?"

"Okay, don't try any more, there is nothing wrong with this snake-man girl." Seth's avatar quickly reminded with a weak old voice, fearing unnecessary accidents and misunderstandings.

Brian accepted it as soon as he saw it, and sent a voice to his ears through telepathy, and said, "You can call Brian directly."

"Then, Lord Brian, let's make a deal, shall we? I will help you achieve your goal, and after the matter is over, you will take me out of this ruin. I don't want to live in this lifeless underground anymore, and I don't want to suffer from those people every day. The contempt and insult of a brainless idiot, let alone spend an ordinary life in obscurity and doing nothing. Because every moment, I can feel the gods I believe in calling me to leave here, as long as I find a way to find Him , so that everyone in the kingdoms will know me, admire me, and worship me!"

The breath that had been smoldering in her heart burst out suddenly, Bertha spoke more and more fiercely, she paused, and said every word firmly, without hesitation:
"I want to leave here to follow the call of faith in my heart and help my lord to complete the great revival. As the oldest creator race, I don't want to sleep any longer. I want to look down on all living beings in the kingdoms from the clouds. Bu Ryan, you can definitely help me, can't you?"

"Perhaps." Brian replied vaguely, let go of the arm around Bertha's waist, took two steps back, and said:

"But before that, I still have a few questions I want to ask you. I can't guarantee anything until it is confirmed."

Apparently, this snake-man girl was very likely to be completely brainwashed by Seth's avatar, which not only awakened her memory of the Sarukh witch through some unpredictable channel, but also made her go to the Chuertan Peninsula to find him.

Who ever had the opposite, the snake girl awakened the memory of the Sa Luke witch, but did not inherit the power of the ancient race.

Otherwise, the other party would not have taken so much trouble to come in person.

"You can ask anything..." Bertha suddenly stopped talking, and looked back into the distance.

Dark shadows swayed in the ruins and rocks. It was the guards guarding the temple who came to change their shift.

The expression on the snake girl's face changed, and she instantly returned to the indifferent look she had when they first met, as if she didn't care about anything, and invited: "This is not a place to talk, why don't you come to my house to rest for a while. Okay?"

Brian did not refuse the beauty's invitation, after all, he did have great interest in Bertha's identity.

So, with the help of the cover of the shadow, the two left the place quietly before the snake guards arrived.

Although Sarukhda has become ruins, it has lost the glory and vitality of its heyday.

However, there are three catties of nails in a rotten boat, and the snake people have lived here for so long, and they will not completely repair their homes.

Therefore, all the houses inhabited by people are basically well preserved, and they have also been remodeled according to the snake people's own aesthetics.

Although they have evolved a wisdom that is not weaker than that of humans, the snake people are still like their ignorant scale races, they love heat and fear cold, like wet and dry, and the darker and more humid the environment, the more snake people like it.

On the way, Brian also passed several houses inhabited by snake people, each of which had an unpleasant musty smell from inside, and the walls and floors were all wet, like a small man-made swamp.

But Bertha's house was not like that.

Although it is not too spacious, it is bright and dry, and the few simple pieces of furniture are also arranged very carefully.

There is no decoration on the wall, only a few weapons are simply hung.

The most eye-catching thing is a reclining chair placed in the middle of the room. .

It has a peculiar shape and is uneven, so that after the snake-man girl lies on her back, she can fully reveal her seductive curves. This is really the best tool for fun.

Brian didn't pay much attention to Bertha's charm.

He found a more normal-looking wooden chair and sat down, helping Seth's avatar ask the first question:
"Since when did you know about the Yisto Sefifer Empire and that you are a Sarukh witch?"

"A year... about a year ago, I had a dream. The dream was very real, and it aroused some magical memories hidden in my soul. I knew what the creator race was, and I also understood that I was once The sleeping Sarukh witch."

Bertha sighed, and slowly closed her eyes. This is her secret world, and every inch and every inch belongs only to her. Only here can she truly relax.

"But I want to leave here, but not only a year ago, but I have been thinking about it for 20 years. I have been thinking about it since I started to be able to speak and think."

"Because I know that Salukda is not my real home, it is just a ruin that has lost all vitality and future. Maybe I was born here, but it does not belong to me, and I do not belong to it. But in Somewhere far away, the place that calls me back, is my real home."
