The imperial capital of the Hawke Empire, Melindel City.

The waiter knocked softly on the door, and when he was answered, he pushed the door and entered.

"Your Excellency. The waiter saluted, and then said, "There is a magic signal from the Eastern Continent, and there will be a magic communication with you in five minutes, please be prepared." ”

"Got it. Verlais nodded, and he took out an envelope from the table and handed it to the waiter, and commanded, "Give this to Ralvin the Great, and if he has any doubts, say that I will explain them to him then." ”

"Yes. The waiter put the envelope in his bosom and bowed away.

Welleis sat down in his chair and thought for a moment, then smiled and said to himself, "I hope that old neurotic didn't let me down." ”

......

Five minutes later, Verles arrived in the communication room.

"Your Excellency, the circle is ready. When a mid-level mage saw Vellais coming, he said, "You only need to put the mana crystal in it to start a call, and this crystal is enough to last ten minutes of video communication." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, you can go. Verles nodded, and after the mid-level mage left, he picked up the magic crystal and inserted it into the groove of the circle.

The carefully carved magic array gradually lit up under the energy supply of the magic crystal, and it gave birth to a light curtain in front of Velles, which showed Alex, the current agent of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.

"Grow up. Alex could also see Velles from his light curtain, so he saluted anyway.

"How did it turn out last night?" asked Vellais.

Alex nodded slightly and replied: "The Eyes of the Arcane Law lost three high-level mages, and the fourth high-level mage, Mary Jones, was seriously injured, although it will not be killed, but it should cause the strength to be damaged. ”

"Oh!" Vellais laughed with satisfaction, "It seems that this old madman is really good enough." What about the others?"

Alex knew who the others were referring to when Verles was talking about, and he replied, "Master Malloret was also seriously injured when he faced three high-level mages at the same time, and the most lethal time was when he was struck by the high-level necromancer Darip before he died. Under such an attack, I don't think even Lord Malloret will have a hard time recovering. ”

"He really dared to fight. Verles smiled, "He can do this kind of thing at the same time facing three high-level mages." ”

"After all, Lord Malloret is now the top three Sanctuary martial artists in the human world. Alex smiled as well, and then continued: "Regner successfully assassinated Hradik, although he didn't suffer much injuries in the battle, but last night he forcibly used the dark body to increase his strength to level seventeen, I think even the side effects of using his strength were enough for him to be unconscious for two days." As for Anne Lot...... Annelot was struck by Hradik's Finger of Death, and was no longer breathing. But I guess under the protection of the Frozen Tears, this attack shouldn't be fatal. ”

"Of course!" Vellais was confident, "Under the protection of the secondary artifact, Anne will not die so easily. ”

"The rest are Cordak and Vera. Alex said, "Kordak's werewolf lineage has been revealed, and he may not be able to establish himself in the human world now." Vera was still with him, and now the four of them were supposed to be on their way to Orgrimmar. ”

"Good!" Welleis, apparently pleased with last night's result, said, "You stabilize the situation, and I'll be back in two days." ”

"As you wish, you will grow up. ”

......

Kordak carried Regnar on his back, Vera held Annelot, and the four of them had a great time walking on the blue plain.

Regner's effect of the Dark Body came to an end after leading them out of the outskirts of Meteor City, and he was rightfully in a coma. But because of the Arcane Eyes, Vera and Cordak didn't dare to delay here, and they walked north as Regner had told before he fell unconscious, where orcs were said to pick them up.

Although there are some doubts about why Regner can get together with the orcs, now they are desperate and can only follow Regner's wishes.

"Looks like I won't be able to stay here anymore. Kordak gasped.

"Shall we get out of here, then to the west?" said Vera, holding Annelot, also out of breath.

Before, Regnar insisted that Annelot was not dead before she fell unconscious, and she began to suspect that Regna was crazy, but in the past two days, she and Cordak were surprised to find that although Annelot's "corpse" was cold and stiff, it did not rot and stink or show corpse spots, which made Cordak and Vera also have some confidence.

"That's for the rest of the day. Kordak said, "Let's get to the Savage Plains first, and Ray says that Ini is still with the orcs." ”

"That's right. Vera nodded, and although she didn't have any affection for the orcs, it seemed like it was her only place to go.

The sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling sounded from behind them, and Malorit chased after him after the three high-ranking mages, and he had somehow got a carriage on which he seemed to be enjoying himself, but his pale face and slightly dry skin showed that he had not had a good time these two days.

"You two are really fast. Malolet said.

"Old sir. Vera and Cordak bowed, and though they didn't know what the old fellow was all about, his strength and his two rescues in danger were enough to make them respect him.

"Alright, sit down, find a place, and wake Anne up first. Malolet said.

Malolet set up the carriage and found a clean, open place to stop. Then the old fellow took Annelot out and laid her flat on the ground, and then took a bottle of liquid from his waist and poured it into the girl's mouth. To the surprise of Cordak and Vera, it smelled like wine, and it was a fierce spirit.

The body temperature gradually returned to the girl's body, and at the same time, breathing, heartbeat and other living characteristics of a living person gradually appeared in Annelot's body, and Vera and Kordak fell into ecstasy when they saw this scene.

Annelot slowly opened her eyes, and in addition to the Kordak and Vera she was familiar with, there was also a handsome old man looking at her with concern.

"I ...... Where am I?" said Annelot, weakly, "Am I not dead?"

"You're not dead, my child. Malollet said, "The Frozen Tears that Wellles gave you saved your life." ”

Anne Lot rubbed her temples, then sat up with difficulty.

"Here you go, you must be hungry. Malolet took a piece of elven bread from the carriage and handed it to Annelot.

The girl ate bread while listening to the stories of the three people around her, and gradually she understood what had happened in the past two days, and the ins and outs of her resurrection.

The secondary artifact, the Frozen Tears, is said to have been crafted from the tears of Angelis, the elven goddess of life. After falling into the mortal world, this delicate and brilliant stone was made into a magical necklace by alchemists that could help the wearer defend against deadly attacks.

Whenever this effect is triggered, the wearer will stop all vital reactions, and the whole body will stiffen, and the body temperature will plummet to around zero, as if frozen in ice. This is also the origin of the name Frozen Tears.

There are many ways to solve this "frozen" state, such as roasting the fire, or pouring some spirits, in short, most of the methods that can make people's body temperature rise quickly can relieve this state.

The Frozen Tears changed hands several times over the centuries and eventually fell into the hands of the Lunaris Thieves Guild, which Wellles gave to Annelot to protect her. The girl only thought that it was a gift from the president for her twelfth birthday, and although she cherished it and wore it all the time, she didn't notice the power it contained.

It is worth mentioning that Frozen Tears is a one-time consumable and cannot be recharged, and the power of this small stone has been left after hundreds of years of use. According to guild insiders' estimates, it also has the strength to withstand damage of the magnitude of two dissociations.

However, the people of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild had obviously miscalculated, as Anne Lot was still slightly injured with the help of Frozen Tears, which meant that the power of Frozen Tears had been used up. Today, this delicate and ornate necklace has become a veritable ornament.

Annelot played with the quail egg-sized pendant in her hand, suddenly raised her head and stared at Malloret and asked, "Who are you, and why do you know this?"

Annelot's sudden question obviously caught the Tempest Swordmaster off guard, and he struggled repeatedly, but finally chose to confess completely.

"Now that you've got to this point, don't hide it anymore. Malolet thought to herself with a wry smile.

"I am your father, Malollet, Malorette Ladis. Malolet looked at her daughter and said seriously.

"What?" said Vera and Cordak in unison, their mouths wide open enough to stuff an apple.

Kordak shrewdly pulled Lavera and winked at her.

"Ah, I'll go untie my hands. Kordak was the first to say.

"I'll go get something to eat, Mr. Mallorlet, there's still food in the carriage?" asked Vera.

"Yes, it's in the trunk of the carriage. The old guy was also very grateful for the acquaintance of the two, and at this time their father and daughter knew each other, and it would inevitably be a little embarrassing if someone else was here to observe.

Anne Lot's eyes widened in disbelief, she had lived alone for more than ten years, and now a father suddenly appeared, even with her cold temperament, it was difficult to accept it for a while.

But she quickly calmed down, she stared at Malloret and said coldly, "Evidence." ”

"......" Malloret was silent, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Wellles can testify that I gave you to him back then." And also...... I was also blue-haired when I was younger. ”

"Not enough!" Anne Lot still didn't believe it, now that Wellles was gone, the first one could not be testified, and the old fellow was now full of silver hair, and the second could not be proved.

Malolet sighed and said, "You have a birthmark like a snowflake on your abdomen under your left chest. ”

Anne Lot's face turned a little pale when she heard this, Marloret was right, few people knew about her birthmark, and, if you looked closely, this old guy did have a bit of a resemblance to himself between his eyebrows and eyes.

Although there is no strong evidence, it now seems that Malollet's statement is not wrong.

Anne Lot's eyebrows furrowed slightly, the sudden appearance of Daddy made her feel bad. I have lived alone without a father and mother for more than ten years, and then you suddenly appeared and said that you are my father, this kind of thing, no one will easily accept it? In fact, Annelot's indifferent performance at this time is good enough, does it still make her throw herself into Malollet's arms and call her father happily?

Malorit also seemed to see that the girl was in a bad mood, and he hurriedly said, "Annie, I know I'm sorry for you, and I don't want to defend myself. I'll explain these things to you later, but you have to come with me now. ”

"Where's going with you?" asked Annelot.

"To the Western Continent. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm leaving. Malolet said that the last time he returned to Melindale, Ralvin had intended him to stay and help him settle the war with the Stoke Empire. But the old guy took a few days off to rush over because he cared about his daughter, and now that the matter has been settled, he should go back.

"You mean to keep me with you?"

"Yes. Malorit sighed and said, "I can see that Wellles wants to use you more than to protect you, and although Regner wants to protect you, he doesn't have the ability." Rather than just hand you over to someone else, it might be safer to keep you by my side. ”

"What if I don't agree?" asked Annelot, sharply rhetorical.

"I'm not reluctant. Malolet's reply was unexpected: "If you think there's anything else to be here for, then stay." But I don't think so, Regner doesn't believe you, and he can't protect you. Wellles only has his guild in his heart, and this Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, although it raised you,

But it didn't give you a complete and happy life. So, I don't think there's anything here worth your stay. ”

Annelot looked at Kordak and Vera, who were chatting on the sidelines, and then at the carriage.

The girl hesitated for a long time, but she finally made up her mind.
