Verse 152: The long night will come to an end

"Marceau, don't get off the boat, don't. +◆Top+◆Point+◆Small+◆ Say, www." Anne clutched Marceau's belt, and the kitten glanced at the undead pirate warlock and his companions floating on the harbor trestle, then at his teammates lying on the deck, and turned to the harbor and shouted, "Give me a moment!

"No problem, my little master, as long as you don't raise your sails and paddle out, we won't attack you. The necromancer's whisper resounded directly in Marceau's heart.

Turning, Marceau walked to Eleuk's side, the little guy no longer had the agility he had set out, and in the battle to seize the port docks, a bone arrow hit him, and the physique of the steppe elf could not be identified at all.

Removing the cylinder from his back, Marceau handed it to Jing Liu, who was sitting next to Eleuk, "Take it, Jing Liu, and remember the vow we made to Sister Lily's hair. ”

The little guy pouted and took the cylinder with the flag: "Marceau, do you really want to go down?" ”

"My mother wants to see me...... On the condition that I go with the undead pirates, they will let you go. ”

"Can these guys be trusted? Jing Liu asked, and Marceau smiled and shook her head at this question: "It's okay, Jing Liu, I think my mother should not want to see a dead cat." ”

Hearing Marceau say this, Jing Liu's face was even more sad, and the pitiful appearance made Marceau reach out and pat Jing Liu's head: "What about your hat." ”

"I fell off when I was on the street...... Didn't pick it up. After Jing Liu finished speaking, the little guy who looked at Marceau asked again: "Marceau, you must come back alive." ”

"Don't worry, little one. Stretching out his hand to Jingliu to say goodbye, Marceau walked up to Konstantin again, the big cat had its entire tail cut off by the undead pirates during the final boarding battle: "Konstantin." Are you okay?"

"Don't say it, the tail is gone, it's still on the boat, and I feel like the whole world is rolling...... Uhhh

"Take care, Konstantin. Marceau couldn't help it. The kitten turned around and walked over to Ah Tie: "Ah Tie, how are Akaline and Garon. ”

Ah Tie shook his head: "Akalin just lost her breath, and Garon is still in a coma...... Oh my God, this night was the most I've ever seen the wounded and dead in my life. ”

Ah Tie is a doctor in a federal public hospital, in charge of the night shift emergency department, knowing that his words are pun intended, Marceau shrugged his shoulders at Ah Tie: "I'm sorry, Ah Tie, I still hope you can take care of everyone, I'm leaving." ”

"Is it really okay? Ah Tie looked up at Marceau and asked.

"If I don't leave. Everyone is going to die, and if I go, you might be able to survive. Marceau replied with a smile, then turned to look at the eleven remaining members of the Cerberus Wing who were still moving, "This boat is please." ”

"Hmm...... Be careful on the road. The leading member of the Cerberus Wing, a strong Green Forest warrior, responded to Marceau's greeting.

"That's what I should say. Marceau shook her head, turned and walked to the gangway, reaching out to cast one last treatment for minor injuries, and to close the bleeding wound on Anne's face.

"Marceau......" Anne stopped talking.

"Don't be afraid. I'm going to get offline in a safe place, and I'll wait for you to make me a delicious meal. It's been a long night. With that, Marceau lowered her head and touched Anne's forehead lightly, then turned and walked down the gangway.

"I have kept my covenant, your oath. After walking the gangway, Marceau, who was standing in front of the trestle, looked at the three necromancers in front of him and asked.

"Come with us, my little master. Your mother, our captain, is waiting for you at the Great Chapel. The warlocks sideways to make way of a passage, and just as Marceau stepped along, footsteps came from behind him to tell Sù that the kitten cub was being chased down, and reached out to stop the warlocks' attack. The kitten turned to look at Annie, "What are you doing down here?"

"I'm going with you!" the girl's words were full of nails and irons.

Marceau wanted to scold, but looking at the determination on Anne's face, somehow, the kitten reached out and grabbed the girl's hand, then turned to look at the necromancers and spoke: "I'm going to take her, okay?" ”

"No problem, I was ordered to take you to your mother, one more or less, it doesn't matter. After the necromancer finished speaking, he stretched out his bony hand and made a gesture of please: "I'm sorry, we don't have a portal, so we can only ask you to go with this little girl." Speaking of this, the understanding got up: "By the way, I forgot, if you can't watch this ship leave the port, you won't be at ease." ”

“…… Thank you. After Marceau finished speaking, he turned to look at his teammates who were poking their heads out of the boat and waved: "Let's go." ”

Marceau and Anne stood on the trestle, watching the little sailboat leave the harbor under the control of the survivors, watching it slip away from them, and finally the kitten led Anne and turned away.

Walking through the previous battlefield, most of the dead members of the Cerberus Wing were purified by the holy water they drank during the transformation, but a few Poda Corpses stood up, their crimson soul flames spinning as Marceau and Anne moved.

Walking past a pile of ashes, Marceau recognized the hammer next to the ashes as Carlando's - the priest was hit by a dissociation spell, and most of his equipment was reduced to ashes along with himself, only the hammer survived as silent physical evidence to mark the identity of its owner.

Retracting his attention from the hammer, Marceau glanced at the house on the side of the street with a large hole in the second floor - two dwarven musketeers of the Cerberus Wing tried to use this position as a sniper position, only to be hit directly by a Boda Corpse Warlock, who was also hammered into pieces by the approaching Anne for this attack.

Leaving the harbor area, Marceau and Anne soon saw the bodies of several members of the Cerberus Wing who had died in battle at a crossroads, one of them with a silver-seeping dagger in his chest leaning against the wall with his head bowed, and the cat cub recognized him - the big man was bitten in the neck by the Boda corpse, his throat was bitten open, and he was infected with the necrogenization plague, and the big man finally chose to kill himself.

Passing through the remains of ghouls and the living, Marceau led Anne in the direction of the Great Sanctuary. As they pass through the gates of the port and civilian areas, the kittens and the girl see the still burning corpses, the members of the Cerberus Wing who have died in battle as they rush through the lines of the undead, and in order to prevent them from turning into Poda corpses, the kittens have used up the last bottle of fiery glue - on Pinto's body.

Further on, Marceau and Anne stopped in front of the dead land.

"Let's go. My little master, your mother, the current owner of this land is waiting for you. The warlocks urged behind him and her.

"But ahead is the dead land, and we are the living. Marceau looked at the warlock and said.

"If you don't move forward, how can you know if the front is a dead land or a holy land. The Warlock still spoke to Marceau in his tone of no sorrow or joy.

So Marceau took a step, and at the moment when his left foot was about to set foot on the dead land, Marceau saw the dead land recede, the harmless land was revealed, and the cat cub froze for a moment—was this really his mother's ability? I can't even wait for the idle little gods to do it.

But since he could walk, the kitten couldn't slow down, so the kitten who led Anne down the street soon saw another battlefield - in this section of the street, where half of the team had been killed, Marceau was standing next to the corpse of the dwarf Bonser, who had a bullet hole in his head that had been pierced by a lead bullet, and it was this silver-oozing lead bullet that prevented Bonse from standing up again in the form of a Poda corpse.

"Marceau, I never thought Bonther would do this. Anne looked at Bonthor and sighed under her breath.

There was no answer. Without sighing, Marceau came to the body of Big Toe. The halfling still held a one-handed musket in his hand, and the sadness and joy of the halfling, who had also been pierced through the chest by silver buckshot, contrasted sharply with the anger written on Bonser's face.

Bonther, if you raised your gun at me because Anne didn't choose to accept you, then Uncle Big Toe...... And why did you save me?

With doubts, Marceau led Anne on the road to the Great Sanctuary, crossing this section of the mountain of corpses and blood. Scattered all the way were the members of the Cerberus Wing, and from time to time there was a Poda corpse wearing the standard equipment of the Cerberus Wing standing on the street.

Eventually, walking around the corner, Marceau looked at the gray façade of the Great Sanctuary and sighed, "I didn't expect to walk so much this night. Eventually, I came back here. ”

As she passed through the outer defenses, Marceau noticed a corner of the sea of corpses—Sister Lily was sitting with her head leaning against a pile of sandbags, most of her face skin had fallen off, and most of her dry muscles were gone. But she still had a small face and still looked like a living person, and the eldest sister Lily held a one-handed musket in her right hand, and the black viscous blood dripping from the wound under her chin stained her chest with a strange appearance.

"Go, my little master, your mother is torturing our target, and you don't want to meet the master of this feast today. ”

"Mr. Toby?"

"Yes, an ugly little reptile, it was a mistake that we didn't kill him back then, but luckily it wasn't too late. ”

With a conversation with the warlock, Marceau led Anne to the Great Sanctuary, which was filled with paladins and clerics of the Cult of the Gods, all of whom were dead by the scimitar from their wounds.

Standing at the door of the temple, the two undead pirates pushed open the door of the antechamber of the Great Sanctuary, and Marceau and Anne saw the Lady Emerald Star, who was sitting at the reception table in the front hall with more than a dozen crossbow arrows stuck in her chest, and the blood from the wound stained her white priestly robe red, and the former beauty was now lifeless, just motionless to welcome the arrival of the guests.

"Go this way, my little master, and your mother is inside. ”

The necromancer led Marceau and Anne to the chapel, and before they could enter the door, Marceau felt the rhythm of the soul roaring, and after being pushed open, Marceau saw his mother sitting at the long table with her back to her, and a halfling was nailed to the stone pedestal at the foot of the idol by the old Bunta, who stood silent.

"Captain, I have brought your child for you. The necromancer whispered beside her, looking at the 'mother' who got up and turned around, Marceau bowed her head slightly: "Mother." ”

"Look, my sweet boy, it's so nice that before you know you've grown so big, you look like me and not your bastard dad. The Fallen Ground came over and leaned down to look at Marceau and Anne, "...... Ah, I'm so happy to have you coming, and like your father, you're a bastard kitten who will give me trouble, but thankfully, we've found what we're looking for today, and we've settled our old scores by the time you came. ”

After saying this, she reached out and patted Marceau's head, then looked at Anne and grinned, "This is your little girlfriend?"

Marceau nodded in reply.

"Ah, welcome, little prairie elf, I'm the mother of this kitten in this world, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to come today, I don't have a gift to give you now, please forgive Auntie this time. Marceau's pirate lady clapped her hands at this: "I forgot again, come, let me introduce you, this is your Uncle Toby." ”

Bringing Marceau and Anne to the halfling, the kitten's mother reached out and grabbed its skull and lifted it up: "Dear Toby, should I call you Torranster Bieroni, or should I call you Lord Jacob." ”

Torranster Bieroni! Toby ...... Marceau finally understood, looking at the skull with gray soul fire rolling in the eye sockets in front of him, the kitten cub raised his head and glanced at his mother: "Is he Toby?" ”

"That's right, we've finally caught this betrayer, an old bastard skilled in illusion, and now, my children, say goodbye to your Uncle Toby. With that, Marceau's mother nodded, and the dagger in Old Bonta's hand was nailed into Toby's chest, and the silver-seeping dagger made the halfling's soul begin to roar, and Marceau watched its soul fire gradually disappear, and finally the cursed halfling turned into a skeleton turned into a real dry bone and scattered.

"Good, it's been a great night, I'm leaving, kids, see you later. Walking towards the gate with the old Bunta, Marceau's mother threw a gold coin at the kitten without looking back: "My child, take this on." ”

Marceau hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he opened it, he saw that an ancient gold coin of the Second Dynasty of Ashbi was in his hand.

"Mother, don't you want to take me away. With one last suspicion, Marceau asked.

"No, my child, don't be in a hurry, for you and I know ...... One day, you'll come to me. With that, Marceau's mother disappeared with Old Bonta, leaving Marceau and Anne to look at each other.

There was a long sigh in unison. (To be continued......)

ps: ps: Finally finished writing this copy...... At the same time, the plot of this continuity of the past and the future is rounded. Someone said before that the halfling who died in my hands could circle the Neverwinter city wall three times, but I said that it was too short, and the halfling who I wrote dead would at least circle the Wesmarchu and Los Santos three times and a half......
