Travel through the worlds and spread the flames across the worlds
Chapter 45 Swearing on humanity, witnessed by the gods
The gaps between Jack's armor were stuck on the corner of the table, and it took him a lot of effort to finally turn over and stand on the dining table.
"Hu-hu-hu-"
Jack gasped sharply.
"Don't worry my friend, Jack Maya will not let you down."
After a slight shake, Jack managed to steady himself. He put his legs on the table and stretched out two fingers with both hands to grab the cork on the top of the barrel.
The cork was a little small for Jack's large hands, but his fingers made up for it well.
"Haha!"
Jack roared, his face flushed and he clenched his teeth. There was a slight red mark under his fingernails, and it was obvious that he had used up all his strength.
"puff!"
The cork popped up, and Jack's arms unconsciously lifted up high and his whole body tilted backward, almost falling to the ground.
No, I should say I fell down and hit my head on the ground.
Lin Hun was about to let go of the wine barrel and go around the dining table to pick it up.
Jack had already stretched out an arm across the dining table and waved it, signaling Lin Hun not to worry.
Then, with a flexibility that was inconsistent with his body and armor, he rolled over like a carp and stood up, looking as if nothing had happened.
Jack casually placed his palms on the back of his head and grinned.
"Hahaha, my friend. Now let's start the second party!!!"
When Lin Hun lowered his head to look at the wine barrel, he took the opportunity to rub the back of his head hard, and couldn't help but smile.
Lin Hun suddenly looked up and asked curiously.
"How do I scoop this wine?"
Jack's face straightened.
"Shhh! This! Just use the cup to scoop it out! I've washed this cup before, so feel free to use it."
"Jack, there's something wrong with you—"
Lin Hun stood up suspiciously and walked around Jack, looking him up and down.
"Ah! No way! What could be wrong with me? You're overthinking it! Drink some wine! Drink some wine!"
Jack snatched the wine glass in front of Lin Hun, and at the same time grabbed his own wine glass, placed the cup mouth horizontally, and then reached into the wine barrel with his left and right hands and scooped skillfully.
After the cup came out of the bucket, he handed it directly to Lin Hun without even looking at it.
As soon as he holds it firmly, he clinks his glass with his own.
At this moment, Lin Hun didn't care about Jack's previous abnormality. Since the cups had already been clinked, there was no reason for him not to drink!
The two of them drank happily together, toasting each other and feeling very comfortable.
It was just that Lin Hun always noticed that Jack was grinning unconsciously.
Every time I opened my mouth to ask, Jack would quickly change the subject.
When the conversation was getting heated, Lin Hun couldn't help but ask the question concerning the life and death of the immortals.
"Why did you come to Lordran? Um, I mean, why did you come to this dilapidated and cursed place?"
Jack tilted his head back and took a sip of the drink in his glass.
"In my hometown of Catalina, I had a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter, but everything changed when I was infected with the curse of undeath."
Sighing, Jack brought the glass to his lips again, but this time no wine flowed down his throat.
Lin Hun handed over his glass and took Jack's empty glass.
Jack didn't mind and took a big sip. His expression was no longer as comfortable as before when he was tasting the wine. His brows were furrowed with an indelible sadness.
"You know, in my hometown, the people there don't really hate the curse of undeath. Some adventurers even regard it as a gift from God, because once infected, it means they can freely participate in adventures and create great achievements."
"But actually, you know what?" Jack took a sip of wine. Lin Hun actually saw a glimmer of light in the eyes of this rough man. "I don't want to take part in the adventure. Hahaha, it's a bit ridiculous. In Catalina, which is famous for adventure, there are people who don't want to take risks?"
"But what I said is true," Jack looked at Lin Hun, "I have a wife and a daughter. They are the most precious treasures God has given me. Is there any need for me to take risks again?"
"But my wife, who is a pure Catalinan, said to me, 'Jack, dear, since you are cursed with immortality, how can you let me and your daughter hold you back? You were born to be a man who can create great things.'"
Jack couldn't help but smile when he said this, as if he remembered the scene at that time.
"Before we set out, my wife helped me forge this armor with the best metal," Jack stroked the armor on his body as if he was stroking his wife, and after recalling the good memories for a while, he pointed to his helmet.
"My daughter drew a little sun under my helmet herself, saying that she hoped Gwyn, the Sun King, would bless me to come back soon. Hahaha, she was so little at the time. Wow, she was such a cutie. To be honest, I didn't want to leave at that time."
Jack put his hands in front of him, carefully measuring the size of his daughter at that moment, as if she were really in his arms.
"But! I'm Jack Maya!" Jack was suddenly excited and took a big gulp. He stepped on the stool as if the world was at his feet. "I was born for adventure! This Lordran has the ruins and tests of the gods. There is nothing more worthy of my exploration than this place!"
After drinking the last of the wine in the glass, Jack calmed down a little and looked at Lin Hun with burning eyes.
"Friend! Why are you here again?!"
Lin Hun was silent, because he himself didn't know why he came to this world. Everything he did was just to become stronger, so strong that he would not be killed or manipulated by others at will.
But what about the future? Will the killing continue?
In response to Jack's honesty, Lin Hun chose to respond with sincerity.
"In fact, I don't know. I just want to become stronger. As for the future, I will take it one step at a time. Maybe one day I will never leave the Firelink Shrine again."
"Is that so?" Jack was silent after hearing Lin Hun's words. He stepped onto the table, crossed the distance between them, and put his arms around Lin Hun's neck. "Hahaha, you are still young and humane. You can slowly find your goal. But remember to find it! No matter if it is good or bad, noble or lowly, you must find one. After all, this is the most important thing for us immortals."
Jack filled two empty glasses with wine and handed them to Lin Hun.
"I don't want you to become a zombie the next time we meet."
Lin Hun took the wine glass and tapped Jack's shoulder, jokingly.
"Come on Jack, I won't change even if you turn into a zombie."
"Hahaha, then let's make a deal. No matter which one of us becomes a zombie, the other one has to help him get rid of it."
"Come on Jack, say something nice, we won't turn into zombies."
Lin Hun raised his glass and wanted to clink it with Jack, but unexpectedly Jack raised his hand and dodged it gently.
Lin Hun looked at Jack's face. The resolute expression no longer had the previous joy, but was full of seriousness.
Lin Hun felt that this was Jack's true face hidden under the helmet when he was fighting.
"No! You have to promise me, Jack, and swear on the humanity in our bodies."
Lin Hun knew that Jack was serious, so he would naturally respond seriously.
Lin Hun put away the smile on his face, rubbed his cheeks, and raised his glass high.
"I swear by my forest soul's humanity, and in the presence of the gods, I make a pact with Jack Maya of Catalina: no matter which of us loses all of our humanity and becomes a zombie, the other must let the other rest in peace, no matter how many descendants the other has."
