In the inner city of Twilight, near the port, there is a low hill, and unlike the surrounding buildings and palatial mansions, there are not many buildings on this hill, only a quiet garden and a solemn cemetery.

As an unwritten convention, the right to sleep in this cemetery after death is all about those who have made a special contribution to the Kingdom of Twilight.

Two months ago, the war that took place in Lone Rock City added twenty-seven new "residents" to this cemetery.

In a sea of flowers under the moon, a woman in a gown, a black veil, and a metal ring around her neck stopped in front of the tombstone and was speechless for a long time.

She crouched down, placed the bouquet in her arms in front of the tombstone, and reached out to gently caress the name on the inscription.

Randall Quincy

The woman whispered the name over and over again, and a thousand words finally turned into a low sigh.

Standing up and taking one last look at the tombstone, the woman turned and bowed her head, and left this sad place with endless grief.

At the entrance of the cemetery, the tall orc Carol, wearing a wide cloak, sat on the grass and stared blankly at the moon overhead, with an indissoluble confusion in his eyes.

Catching a glimpse of the woman's appearance out of the corner of her eye, Carol quickly stood up, looked at the other party gently, and asked in a low voice, "Barbara, are you going back?"

The woman ignored him, lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped out of the cemetery gate, and walked down the hill.

Carol followed her, trying to get closer, but he was hesitant and slowed down.

Barbara walked down the dimly lit alley, and the laughter of the citizens in the main square was heard in her ears. She looked through the layers of black veil at the brightly lit night market, where a bard played the lugel and sang merrily music on the open-air stage, causing her to stop.

"Her eager eyes stirred my dreams like night rain, and my singing ran on the hesitant strings, chasing her heart......

Listening to this beautiful music, Barbara opened her mouth slightly, but her raised hands touched the metal ring around her neck, and the whole person instantly seemed to lose all her strength. Eventually, she slowly turned around and retreated into the darkness, away from the crowd.

A man and a woman, one in front and one behind, the two were speechless, only staggering forward in the dark.

Back in Wayne Dunlop's underground lab, a depressed Barbara returns to her room and slams the door shut.

The sound of the door closing was so loud that both Carol and Aldenan outside the door were startled.

Aldenan turned his head to look at Carroll and asked, "She hasn't said a word to you all day today?"

Carol hung her head in frustration and sat down against the wall.

Aldenan touched his chin and said, "Two months ago, we saved her from the battlefield, maybe it was a mistake...... Her body was still alive, but her heart was dead. ”

Carol shook her head: "The moment I watched her fall, I couldn't sit still. ”

Aldenan shrugged: "I understand, she was hit by a musket at that time, her wound was inflamed, and her life was in danger. We had no choice but to seek help from Mr. Dunlop...... Although the latter saved her with a tyrant potion, her body ......"

Carol hugged her head in pain: "Now Barbara, I have lost everything she cherishes, and it is all my fault. ”

Seeing the orc's self-reproachful expression, Aldenan scratched his head and tried his best to reassure: "I want to open some, at least she is not like when she first came, thinking about ending her life every day...... That's a step forward......"

The closed door was suddenly opened, and Barbara, wearing a black veil, asked the two sitting there, "Where is Wayne Dunlop?"

Carroll hurriedly stood up and replied, "Mr. Dunlop works in the dockyard and probably won't be coming down anytime soon." ”

Barbara turned around and said coldly, "I'll go find him!"

Aldenan rushed to her with a lunge, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Miss Barbara, don't be in such a hurry! You must know that there are many 'idlers' in the upper dockyard, and if they are allowed to see us, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Barbara stared into the werewolf's eyes and said categorically, "I don't care so much!

Aldenan made an apologetic gesture: "Miss Barbara, please don't be so willful, I know that a new face may be a little uncomfortable for you." But things have to be in a better place...... For example, you look much better than the two of us...... Hey, what are you doing?!"

Barbara's palms were upward, and there was a faint pale blue light on her body, and the torches on the wall flickered and dimmed, and two bright flames instantly formed in her hands.

The werewolf's panicked appearance was reflected in her pupils, and Barbara jerked her hands up, and the flames instantly rose high, turning into two bright and blazing pillars of fire.

The pillar of fire grew, bigger and brighter, and finally almost approached the ceiling of the corridor.

"I surrender! I surrender!" Aldenan hurriedly stepped back, shaking his arms and shaking his head, as if he was afraid that the irascible young lady in front of him would vent his anger on himself in the next second.

"It's amazing!"

A sigh of admiration sounded at the end of the corridor.

The three of them followed the sound, and Wayne Dunlop, who was wearing a lab coat, walked slowly.

Seeing this person, Barbara's voice was full of anger and bitterness: "It's you, I hate you, why did you make me like this!"

Before she could finish speaking, she threw her arms back, and the two pillars of fire deformed and twisted, turning into an attacking posture.

Wayne Dunlop shook his head, took a strange-looking whistle from his bosom, and blew it vigorously on his lips.

The forbidden rings around Carol, Aldnan and Barbara's necks were instantly activated by the whistle, and the hidden spikes inside pierced the necks of the three of them, and special potions were injected into their bodies, causing the three of them to fall to the ground in pain and struggle.

Wayne put away the whistle, looked at Barbara and said helplessly: "When life was about to die, I saved you from the hands of death, not to mention that you also obtained unimaginable power for ordinary people, tell me, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Barbara, who was struggling to get up with her arms supporting her body, heard this, angrily took off the black veil on her head, threw it at Wayne's feet, and yelled: "But I was turned into this by you!"

Barbara, who has lost the black veil, can still see her former appearance on her face, but her appearance has become more beautiful than before. Her skin lost its proper blood color and became as white as milk, and a faint blue glow could be seen in her veins, as dazzling as a glow-in-the-dark tattoo...... In addition to these changes, one of the most striking features of her appearance is that her ears have ceased to be human round, but have become a peculiarly elongated, pointed ear.

Aldenan, who was lying on the ground, looked at Barbara's appearance, approached Carol beside him, and whispered: "To be honest, I think she looks much better now than before." ”

Looking at the angry woman, Wayne rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, he walked along the corridor to the door of the laboratory, and while opening the door, he said to the three people not far away: "Come here, I have made some new discoveries about the changes in your body." ”
