As soon as Jiwen stepped out of the boundless darkness, a strong smell of blood came to his face. At the same time, what caught his eyes was the battlefield that was fighting. Hordes of strangely shaped creatures are climbing and attacking the towering walls of the Elven King's Capital, while guards are raining bows and arrows and various magical attacks on the heads of attackers.

The scene in front of him surprised Given, because time passes differently in different worlds, and he is not sure how many years Solland has spent in the time that he and Adelia have disappeared.

However, this doubt was quickly solved, and a familiar figure of Jiwen broke into his sight.

It's Valley the Shadow.

At this moment, the desert ranger was half-kneeling on the ground, and his long chestnut hair, red with blood, had long been scattered and draped over his shoulders. Relying on the long sword moonlight, she barely fell, and the armor behind her back had cracked, revealing a terrifying wound, and blood was oozing from her abdomen.

Givens noticed that Valley's gaze was fixed on him, and there was a special emotion hidden in his gaze.

Is it because of "fate"?

As if in response to Jiwen's thoughts, the fate in Jiwen's hand suddenly trembled, and a strong restlessness was beating in the sword body, making the long sword almost out of Jiwen's grasp.

Did you sense your true master?

No, he had used fate in front of Valé more than once, and fate had never reacted so strongly. This restlessness is stronger and stronger than when you excite the power of fate. Givens knew that only seven emotions could awaken fate, and now there was one emotion that completely energized it.

Just when Given's surprise was the change of fate, Adelia next to Given's side also found an injured old friend. She rushed to Valley's side and began to heal her with life magic.

It was only at this moment that the surrounding enemies came to their senses and rushed towards the two new enemies who had joined the battlefield. Since fate had not yet returned to normal, Givens had no choice but to pick up the Burning Spirit and then rush into the enemy group with his illusory spirit body.

Given's momentary halt in the enemy's advance, and Adella's emergency treatment allowed Valé to regain some strength. Valley, who could barely stand up, suddenly made a move that no one expected.

Despite her injuries, she lifted the moonlight and forcibly activated the power of the moonlight wolf. With the howl of the wolf spirit behind her, time stopped in an instant.

Everyone present stopped, except for Vallet, but also Given.

What was she doing?, Given, turning his head in confusion, saw Valley rushing towards him with the moonlight.

Moonlight's blade stopped an inch from Given's throat, and then began to tremble slightly with Valley's wrist. Valley, the always cynical desert ranger, had a tense face at the moment, as if she wanted to force countless emotions under the disguised calm face.

After a moment of silence, Valé's hoarse voice finally let out a greeting.

"Long time no see, Mr. Copperbeard. ”

Given's stunned, he didn't expect Valley to know the secret of his role as Mr. Copperbeard, and he didn't expect her to reveal it in such a way.

"Why don't you speak, do you want to ask me how I know?" Valley smiled bitterly at herself, "The Lark Legion has been transferred to the royal capital, and there are many of your old friends in the team. They told me who the blacksmith was, who called himself Copperbeard. ”

Is it Sheriff Quinn and Ares? It dawned on Given, according to Ares' personality, that he should be a good match for Valley, and that Ares had always been a poor mouthman.

Seeing the expression on Given's face change instantaneously, Valley continued to ask angrily. "Do you want to deny it? Or does someone happen to have such a weird last name as Copperbeard?"

At this time, there is no need to deny it, otherwise the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper, and Jiwen can only nod and answer calmly.

"That's right, I'm Copperbeard. ”

After hearing this long-awaited answer, Valley finally could not maintain a calm expression, and a mixture of anger and grievance surged into her face.

"Damn liars. Valley's voice was as if two sharp blades were rubbing against each other.

Valley once sneered at the persistent blacksmith Copperbeard, and was once inexplicably moved by the fact that he had saved himself. Having been fighting alone since she was a child, and encountering countless betrayals, she was finally able to give her back to another person to cover with confidence. In the end, when the figure of the copper whisker disappeared under the shadow of the countless thousand years of cicadas, she found that her heart, which had been closed, had quietly opened a crack.

It was with this experience that she slowly understood the crazy ancestor Professor Morris, and vaguely understood why her great-grandmother Theresia made such a choice.

But now, it's all completely collapsed. The elf Copperbeard was actually just a phantom, and when he was secretly sad and even wept for the death of Copperbeard, he was actually standing beside him, as if nothing had happened.

Jiwen looked at Valley's moving appearance, but his heart was full of mixed feelings. At first, he used magic disguise, just to avoid conflict with Valley. It wasn't his intention to make it the way it is. But now, the time has come for this problem to be solved.

Ji Wen took a deep breath and said to the moonlight blade: "I'm not a liar, I'm the copper beard, and the copper beard is me." ”

Given's mind asked himself, he had never deliberately disguised his habits in front of Valé, except for the disguise provided by magic, the Bronze Beard was no different from himself. In the same realm, the choice that Copperbeard will make is also Givin's own choice.

"Ridiculous. Valley scoffed at Giving's explanation.

"What I said is true. ”

Hearing Jiwen's insistence, Vallei sneered, she put down the moonlight, and then said word by word in an unusually serious tone: "If you are a bronze, then I will tell you that the elf king is in danger now." I don't want the streets of the royal capital to be covered with the blood of innocents, and I don't want the sacrifice of the defenders to be meaningless, so I need the power of "fate". ”

Hearing this request, Givens was not surprised. From the moment the sword "Destiny" was cast, it had long been entangled with her life. But in the face of such a request, will she, or Mr. Copperbeard, choose?, and Valley also awaits an answer, and the Copperbeard she knows should not be a coward who is confused by such a question.

I saw that Jiwen flipped his wrist, reversed his fate, and sent the hilt of the sword to Vale's hand. In that space, he had studied this long sword countless times, and for himself, who had fused the forges of the god forging and was about to crack the secret of the crystal disk, he could better understand that fate was a masterpiece that belonged to the bloodline of Mingsha.

As if afraid that Jiwen would regret it, Valley immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword, but when she tried to pull out the long sword, she found that Jiwen was still holding the sword and did not let go.

"What do you mean?"

Valley asked dissatisfiedly, but Givan ignored Valley's anger and calmly recounted.

"Vallet, fate is a cursed sword, and if you want to truly bring out the power of fate, you need to let your emotions resonate with it. There are only six emotions that can inspire fate, and the first five are jealousy, bitterness, abstinence, sacrifice and death. Every emotion is accompanied by a tear in the heart, so each generation of longsword wielders has to face a painful fate. ”

"I don't care. ”

Valley looked up proudly and replied nonchalantly. In Valé's opinion, his fate was rough enough, and a few curses were not a big deal.

Seeing that Valley had made up her mind, Jiwen let go of her hand after telling her to be careful. After thousands of years, fate has finally returned to the descendants of Mingsha.

After receiving her fate, Valé felt a force enter her body along the hilt of the sword, and the heavy sword body seemed to have lost its weight, of course, what was even more bizarre. Just in front of her appeared the phantom of a female sandwoman warrior.

For this figure, Vallei is no stranger, she is the legendary heroine of the sandman Mingsha. In the temple underground, Vallet had met her ancestor and watched a legend.

In that story, Mingsha, as the best warrior of the Sandman tribe, has always had a crush on the weak warlock Evans Silvermoon. In the midst of the accident in the Forge, Evans not only risked his life to refuse the Spirit's request to kill Mingsha, saved Mingsha, but also left the gift of the Forge's Forge.

At this moment, the phantom of Mingsha looked back at Vallei, and then quietly recounted the ultimate secret of fate.

"I knew it was a cursed sword, but I didn't hesitate to pick it up for Evans' sake. This sword absorbed my emotions at the time, so the key to unlocking this sword was jealousy, bitterness, abstinence, sacrifice, death and love. ”

"Why?" Valé repeated blankly.

The expression on Mingsha's phantasm's face became complicated, and her tone of voice deepened.

"Because Evans' lover is not me, and he decided a long time ago to sacrifice himself to save the whole world. When you watched him bravely walk to that fateful end alone, but couldn't do anything about it, that's how I felt at that time. ”

After saying this most difficult part, Mingsha's phantom asked again, "My poor son, do you dare to accept your fate now?"

She looked at the figure of Jiwen in front of her, remembered the tragic farewell in the thousand-year-old cicada cave, and then recalled the figure of Adelia and Jiwen fighting side by side, and a door that had been quietly opened was finally closed again. It was only at this moment that Mingsha finally nodded.

The Phantom seemed to see the mood swing in Valley's mind, and she smiled in satisfaction before disappearing. At this time, the time-static effect of the moonlight gradually faded, and the fierce battle reoccupied the surrounding space.

Having lost his fate, Given's can't see Mingsha, but he guesses from the change in Valley's expression that something must have happened after she got her fate. Because at this moment, there was no longer anger and grief in Valley's eyes, only a strange calm.

Instead of continuing to blame herself for her deception, she proposed, "If you really are Copperbeard, join me to save the city behind it." ”

As soon as Mingsha's words fell, a white spell flame diffused from the sword body of fate, gradually covering her whole body. Moments later, a Valkyrie-like sandwoman warrior appeared on the battlefield.

At this moment, Valé had become a giant wrapped in white flames, her body as white as jade was more majestic than the walls of the royal capital, and in her right hand was holding the divine sword that all the sandmen would never forget.

Seeing this scene in front of them, countless sandman warriors reverently knelt down as the legendary hero Mingsha reappeared in front of them.
