As the saying goes, Korean dramas have three treasures - car accidents, amnesia, and incurable illnesses.
There are three people here, and they actually embody all three!
I'm the car accident, Sofia is the amnesia, and Fremay is the leg that can't be healed...
Looks like the three of us are really destined to meet!
Though Herbert thought to himself in such a mockingly tone, he didn't fully believe the other's words.
Herbert squinted slightly, watching Sofia closely, unsure if she was deliberately pretending.
No signs of lying could be seen.
Or rather, Herbert couldn't make out anything at all.
This was his first encounter with a spirit body; his usual methods of observation were ineffective.
No heartbeat, no breathing, no emotional fluctuations... The only thing left was his keen intuition.
Herbert felt she probably wasn't lying.
But "I think" isn't decisive evidence and can't convince others.
Feeling Fremay's subtle changes in emotion behind him, Herbert knew she was considering whether to act.
"How exactly can I prove she's really amnesiac..."
["Herbert, don't worry."]
At the critical moment, Miss Harmonious God didn't just watch the spectacle, she said proactively: ["She's not lying, you know."]
After Nenasha spoke, Herbert sighed with relief: "Are you certain?"
["Yeah, she has the scent of Wine of Oblivion on her, probably soaked in it for a long time."]
["The Wine of Oblivion can heal a Heroic Spirit's injuries, no matter how severe, as long as the Soul Core isn't damaged, it can completely recover."]
["However, the corresponding 'cost' is forgetting everything in the process."]
The Wine of Oblivion, also known as the "Heroic Spirit Wine", naturally doesn't just let spirits forget their troubles so simply.
Its real effect is actually healing, or rather "resetting". Googlᴇ search 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Heroic Spirits in the Divine Kingdom drink the Wine of Oblivion when weary of life and soul, forgetting everything and reverting to the state when they first entered the Divine Kingdom.
This process is called — "Rebirth."
"So, her current state is equivalent to experiencing a... rebirth?"
Simply put, Sofia's current state is like pressing the "reset to factory settings" button, completely back to her original state.
If the initial state is entering the Divine Kingdom, this should be considered "reset to factory entry settings"...
Well, it's understandable, entering the factory always comes with scars.
"Herbert, should we act? I suspect she's pretending."
As Herbert sighed, Fremay's somewhat cold voice came from behind.
"If she had nothing to hide, she wouldn't pretend to be ."
Sofia's reaction, in her eyes, was a deliberate act, trying to fake amnesia to muddle through.
Stay away from Herbert!
The hostility from the mermaid lady towards the centaur lady not only exists but appears significant.
Is it because you're not as big as her?
Herbert thought mischievously, waving a hand toward behind, softly saying, "I know you're anxious, but don't rush. I can sense that she doesn't seem to be pretending."
He turned around and smiled at Fremay.
"Trust my intuition."
Fremay pouted, but seeing Herbert's confident smile, she nodded obediently.
I'll trust her a bit more, for your sake...
After calming Fremay, Herbert looked at Sofia again, giving her a gentle smile and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Sofia, don't be nervous, we're not bad people."
"I believe you have truly forgotten other things, and that's okay, but we can't help you that way."
"Could you try remembering for yourself once more?"
"Do you really only remember this one name?"
Herbert stared into Sofia's eyes, trying to detect any trace of fluctuation.
"Beyond that, anything could help, any detail could assist us!"
"Try recalling if there's anything else you can remember?"
Sofia's emotions calmed more under Herbert's soothing influence, gradually falling into his pace.
She began to think carefully as instructed, furrowing her brows tightly.
"I, I still remember..."
Then, after a long silent contemplation, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she jerked her head up.
"Oh right! I, I remember something!"
"I... I should have a master I need to serve!"
"He is great, the source of all my life, everything I have was granted by Him!"
When thinking of that master, Sofia's entire bearing changed significantly.
No longer did she seem so ignorant, instead, she became full of spirit, with fervor in her eyes.
Then, Sofia seemed to sense something, looking at Herbert, eyes wide as she excitedly uttered:
"You! You... Could you be my master!!?"
Faced with Sofia's fatal question, Herbert was silent.
He felt the icy gaze stabbing him from behind, reflecting on the unfortunate timing.
