Charlotte now knows the origin of the sensational genocide on the continent of Ophelia, which he later heard about while studying at Icewind Castle. It is said that all the clansmen and servants of the lord of the city-state were tied to the stump and humiliated and tortured before they died.

The exterminated city-state lord family is the force that once wiped out the Shelley family, so the murderer is self-evident.

But Charlotte guessed that Gloria had only done so to avenge her mother, and if she had identified with her family, she would have left her letter with 'Gloria Shelley', not 'Proud Gloria'.

Now Gloria is indeed a lion who ignores the flock, but she also has the nobility and pride of the black swan. After seeing the memories of her childhood, Charlotte already hated Gloria. When he came out of his memory, his first move was to bow deeply to the soul particles that were about to disappear completely.

In fact, not only him, but also Claire was bowing to the proud woman.

Claire's thin lips pursed, his emerald green eyes were deep and sad, he should have spied on Gloria's memories as well, similar childhood experiences made him understand Gloria more.

Charlotte still vividly remembers how Claire frantically stabbed Kelvin to death with a dagger in a waterhole outside the small town of Santos. Children who have had shadows in their childhood are always more sensitive and proud in their hearts, Claire's way of coping is taciturn, while Gloria's way of coping is to hold her head high.

But whether it's Claire and Gloria, they all have one thing in common, and that is steadfastness.

Charlotte remembered Gloria's words before she disappeared, and she asked, 'Mom, am I proud now?'. Gloria may remember the promise that made her who she is today.

Of course, the proud Gloria didn't need her own answer, but Charlotte bowed and said in a solemn manner.

"You're proud Gloria!"

The voices coincided, and Charlotte turned her head to find that Claire was actually doing the same thing and saying the same thing as him.

Gloria's extraordinary spirit has been recognized by two top masters.

Many years later, when Claire heard the name Gloria, she would say to his juniors or colleagues, "I also knew a stunning Gloria, and if she were still alive, you might not have seen me a long time ago." ”

If the juniors don't believe it, and Charlotte happens to be there, Claire will point to Charlotte and say, "Ask him if you don't believe it." ”

At this time, Charlotte also shrugged, "She's a good mage, at least better than us back then." ”

All of Gloria's soul particles dissipated, and the proud black swan ended his life in a proud way. She can't bear to be left behind in her future, you could say it's evasion and cowardice, but Charlotte and Claire think that's the true self-esteem of the root seeker.

Charlotte's willingness to help her enemies after defeat made Charlotte feel a little frustrated, not to mention that she wasn't actually defeated by Charlotte. Seeing Gloria's memories and experiences made Charlotte feel a little uneasy in her admiration.

He couldn't help but ask himself, am I really not the flower of the greenhouse?

"Claire!" Violet interrupted Charlotte's little grief, and Charlotte looked up to see Violet looking at Claire solemnly, "Will you avenge Gloria?"

"No, it won't. Claire shook her head, and before Villewlet changed color, she continued, "Gloria doesn't need anyone else to avenge her. But I'm going to beat Malthus and make that despicable creature feel real despair! I'm mortal enemy with him, aren't we?"

The scarlet under Villeret's eyes disappeared, and the color of her eyes returned to their original pale blue. The lines of her face softened, no longer as stiff as they had been.

Viellet held out her hand, and the Darkest Holy came to her palm, and then she took the black stone and handed it to Claire, "Well, it's yours." ”

"You better keep it, it should be yours. Claire said without hesitation.

Willet's eyes widened, and it took a few moments before she nodded, and took the Black Holiness into her arms.

"I'm going back to the Far North, and I'll bring Gloria's words to my father as they are. She walked out of the cave, about ten meters, paused, and suddenly said, "But no matter what my father thinks, I will ask for more advice in the future." Lord Claire, the Chosen One!"

After she finished speaking, it turned into a burst of blood mist and exploded.

Claire was stunned.

"Let's go!" Charlotte bumped him on the shoulder, "Lord Claire, the Chosen One!"

Claire woke up from a dream, smiling and shaking her head as she walked out of the cave with Charlotte.

"Trust me, Charlotte. I'm not as happy as I thought I would be. ”

"Ahh Like Gloria, we are lonely seekers. She is a good senior, she has set a good example for us, at least I already know that when I fall into the abyss of despair, at least I have another choice without losing my dignity. ”

"We won't ......"

"Well, we won't!"

After that, the undead scourge that was impacted by Gloria's positive energy was quickly extinguished, and Charlotte did not choose to meet Zenas again. He and Claire rendezvous with Elbert and Neam on the border, and soon learned that Zenas was at war with the Noble Alliance.

It is said that the League of Nobles had the idea of attacking, but was almost wiped out by Zenas's ambush. The latter had long known about the despicable ideas of the Noble Alliance, and instead planned to achieve a big victory.

He did not continue northward, but demanded a high ransom from his captives, as in aristocratic warfare. Zenas's strategy was clear, to defeat the lighthouse to the south, and not to touch the sensitive nerves of the great nobles (such as the Grand Duke of Durally) for the time being.

"I thought you'd take advantage of the aristocracy. ”

On the way to the Duchy of Durally, Charlotte said to Elbert in an appreciative tone.

"Then you're underestimating me. Elbert shrugged, at least in front of Charlotte, he didn't have to maintain that false reserve, "I know they're a bunch of mercenary villains, and some of them even plotted to kill me on the battlefield." Needless to say, I can guess whose order it came from. For that I owe a debt of gratitude to my friend, Mr. Neham!"

He bowed half-jokingly, half-earnestly, to Nyam.

"What happened?" asked Claire.

"Nothing. Neam pushed his black-rimmed glasses, "I just let those lords die heroically on the battlefield in advance." ”

"Well done!" Charlotte applauded.

As long as you pass through the Duchy of Durali, the north is the territory of present-day Erossa. Gloria's memories awaken Charlotte's longing for home, and the approach to the home where he was born and raise him quickly turns his mood from low to high.

After solving the undead disaster, except for Elbert, who still seems to be in a state of mind at times, the emotions of the four people have become more or less clear.

About three days later, they met up with Leonard and the others in the city south of Duralli, intending to set off north again.

However, in the tavern that night, an unexpected thing happened.
